Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Calix, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Jaxon is getting married to his mate?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Jaxon's heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Calix stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No! I d

After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Calix."Lory," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Calix!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plaster

Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he

Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, help the pack, earn a degree, make a good career, marry my mate and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought me to something both good and bad. Staying in Lynnwood opened me to m

I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Calix that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Calix told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for a wife to be nervous when meeting her husband's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on loose, the mermaid curls naturally curling on the ends of my brown hair. I only p

"Hi, Lory! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Alpha Calix," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Lory and uh... Alpha Calix," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Calix's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Calix is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Calix still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about something or he does something that makes

My eyes scanned the place. I lived in Alpha Roger’s mansion back in our district. It’s big and grand, but this… seemed like a palace to me. Perhaps, Alpha Rowan has an underground dungeon somewhere where he’s planning to lock me up until the investigation ends?The servants in uniforms bowed their heads and greeted their master. Their curious glances didn’t escape me though. It’s like they’re wondering why Alpha Rowan brought me home, someone who looks rubbish.“Follow me.”I followed Alpha Rowan as he ascended to the stairs. The slender man who must be the butler followed us silently.While walking on the hallway, I looked at the dust free marbled floor and then to my shoes I got from Edwina. I chose the most worn out one because I felt like I was stealing from them. I should visit them when everything works out. Her family saved me, after all. I owe them my life.Alpha Rowan stopped in front of a door, “This is going to be your room.”Wait, I wouldn’t be locked up in the dungeon?“W

Agatha’s POVThat surprised me.I thought I’d have to beg the supreme alpha before he gives me a chance. I thought I’d have to convince him hard. After all, we are talking about an alpha’s heir here.Still on my knees, I looked up to stare at the man who unexpectedly saved me from my doom. The moment Alpha Roger’s men laid their hands on me, I imagined myself in front of my whole pack’s angry eyes – the sight I will last see before dying. I was so sure I’d be pushed to the fate I was trying so hard to escape.And then he came.His midnight blue eyes were menacing. Almost soulless. The way he looked at me sent shivers all over my skin. And for some reason… I sensed a strange familiarity in his eyes. It was like he knew me somehow.But I know that can’t be the case. I’m weak in almost all aspects as a werewolf, but my memory has never failed me. I’m sure I’ve never met him before. If I’d see such dark and dangerous eyes, I don’t think I’d ever forget it. Not to mention, the man is quite

Rowan's POV“Today has good weather, don’t you think, my lord?” Looking outside the car, I replied to my butler, “You really have a good eye, Orion. But do you think I’d be pleased to hear that?”Orion coughed at the driver’s seat. “I was just merely trying to lift your mood-““And you think talking about the weather will lift my mood, yes?” “What do you want to hear then, my lord?” He shyly met my gaze in the rearview mirror. When I raised a brow, he immediately looked away.I crossed my legs and tapped my knee slowly. “Tell me about what is happening in the sixth district. I was just recently informed that Alpha Roger’s heir is killed. Is that true?”“Yes, it’s true. It seems that Alpha Roger’s stepdaughter was the one who killed his heir.”My eyes narrowed. “The girl must be really strong. Roger is from the third generation of pureblooded alphas, after all. His son should also be great.”“Actually, the stepdaughter has no wolf yet, sir.”Now that intrigued me.“What do you mean s

My face went numb when I received a strong slap from Philip. He then pushed me to the cold wall of the building so hard that I felt the painful burn in my back.“You think you can hide and run forever, Agatha? You have to face it. You killed James and you must pay for it!” he said angrily.I understand where he’s coming from. He’s James’ best friend. He’s smart and logical but his emotions are overwhelming him that all he sees is white and black. He’s blinded by his anger.“I didn’t kill him!” I yelled, tasting the blood from my mouth. “How can I kill my own brother?”“Alpha Roger confirmed it himself! How dare you deny it!” He pinned me to the wall with his hand around my neck, knocking the air out of my lungs.“James is strong but he loves you. He must have refused to hurt you back and that’s how you managed to kill him.”Tears formed in my eyes. I wanted to shake my head but Philip’s grip is so strong in my neck that I can hardly move.“No…” I uttered in a frail voice.James was th

“Is she still alive?”I’m feeling dizzy and my body feels sore everywhere but I still did my best to open my eyes. The first thing that met my gaze was a bright light. It blinded me for a moment.Am I in heaven?That’s possible. I remember falling off the cliff after being chased by my pack. It’s just reasonable that I’m dead by now.I felt a warm thing that touched my face. A finger, perhaps. It pressed on my cheek, which startled me.I moved my eyelids up, this time wider. There’s still that blinding light but as I try to focus my gaze, I realize it’s the sky.“She’s awake.” I dropped my gaze on the little boy on my right. He’s quite young. Around four or five, I guess. He stared at me with curiosity and worry in his bright brown eyes.When the cold wind blew, that was when I knew I’m soaking wet. I looked on my left and saw an older boy. He’s obviously younger than me. He has the same bright brown eyes the small boy has, so I assume they are siblings. Both of them are wearing shabb

My arm is bleeding hard that I can no longer feel it. The shackles around my ankles hurt like hell but that didn’t stop me from running. Because I know the moment I stop, I’ll die. I’ll die as my pack’s traitor. I’ll die for a sin I didn’t commit.“Agatha Sinclair! You shall die tonight!” Alpha Roger’s voice boomed in the forest along with the howls of our pack members who joined the hunt.A hunt to kill one of their own.Thinking that they can outrun me in just a matter of seconds, or minutes if I get lucky, I realized how foolish I was to even think of escaping. With my current state and considering that I still have no wolf at my age, I know I can only get away if some miracle happens.But that should be the case, right? No matter how hopeless you are, if you are given even just a single second to fight for your life and what you believe in, you’d still take the opportunity. You’d still grab that chance and risk it all.I suddenly stopped when some rocks just a few inches before my
