Chapter: Chapter 87: Choose~Lucian~I watched as Amara walked away, her back stiff, her head held high. But I knew…I knew that she was hurting. And I had let it happen. I could have run after her, given her reassurance that her fears were invalid, and kissed away the sadness on her face.But I helplessly watched her walk away, visibly hurt from my actions. I hadn’t realized how much I’d hurt her, and no, I’m not trying to make excuses for my shortcomings. Granted, Maya’s arrival had swayed me for a moment, but that doesn’t mean that I’m considering starting up anything with Maya.All I wanted was for her to get better, and for me to get the closure that I’ve so desperately wanted all these years. No matter what, Maya was a woman that I once loved, and a woman who had died carrying my baby…or so I thought.Right now, though, she was starting to cross her boundaries by spilling nonsense to Amara. And now I have to try harder to make amends for the damages that se might have caused by her words.“Lucian,” Maya cal

Chapter: Chapter 86: No denials~Amara~A week.It had been an entire week since Lucian’s first love had come back from the dead, and in that time, Lucian had become a ghost in my life.If he wasn’t tending to Maya’s every need, he was listening to her endless sob story or fawning over her like some love-struck fool. He had barely looked at me, barely spoken to me. And worst of all, he hadn’t even checked to see how I was doing.Even after I pleaded with him to stay with me that night. Even after I told him that I wasn’t feeling good because of the baby; he still went ahead to be with her. He never even came back the next day, or the day after, to check up on me and see how I was faring.I placed a hand on my stomach, feeling the faint stir of life within me. Did he forget? Did he forget that I was carrying his child? That we were supposed to have left this place days ago to prepare for the birth of our child? Or had Maya’s return erased everything we had planned all this while?I clenched my fists. No. Something wa

Chapter: Chapter 85: The distance~Amara~I paced back and forth across the room, my mind racing with too many thoughts, none of them making any sense. My heart pounded against my ribs, restless, uncertain.Lucian should have been here by now. But instead, he was with her. No, I wasn’t trying to be mean, or inconsiderate, but this all felt wrong to me somehow. None of what had just happened sat right with me. I felt like Lucian and I were about to lose the connection that we had just built.I ran a shaky hand through my hair and exhaled. I didn’t want to feel like this. I didn’t want to be jealous, or insecure, or whatever this strange feeling was twisting inside me. But how could I not?Lucian had told me; he had sworn that his first mate was murdered. That he saw her lifeless body with his own eyes. And yet, the woman who collapsed into his arms, the woman who had called out his name, was the very same mate he had believed dead.How was that even possible?I sat on the bed, tapping my fingers against my knee. But a

Chapter: Chapter 84: Once dead…~Lucian~No way.I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.My body turned rigid, my breath caught in my throat, and for a moment, my mind refused to process what was right in front of me. Was it because I’d spoken about her the other day? Was that why her ghost decided to visit me one last time?I glanced over at Amara, trying to know if she could also see the woman in front of us. The expression in her face said that she could see the figure. Same with Selene and the other werewolves.They were all staring suspiciously at the woman, their weapons drawn. All it would take was a command from Selene and they would strike. I should say something, but I was too dumbfounded, trying to place the pieces of the puzzle in my head.She stood there looking as confused as a newborn cat whose mother was taken away. Her body swayed slightly, as if the wind alone could knock her over. Her clothes were torn, hanging off her like rags. Dirt and dried blood smeared her once beautiful skin, and her hair wa

Chapter: Chapter 83: Not okay.~Amara~Everything finally felt okay.For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no tension between Lucian and me. No anger, no lingering hurt. Just peace.I had forgiven him; not just in words, but in my heart. And because of that, I was finally able to look forward to the future we had ahead. A future I was now willing to share with him in his kingdom, where our child would be born.It had taken time to get here, to move past the betrayal, the heartbreak, and all the chaos that had come with it. But Lucian had fought for me. He had proved himself over and over, and I had finally allowed myself to believe in him again.The decision hadn’t been an easy one. The rogue lands had become a kind of refuge for me, a place where I had healed in ways I never thought possible. And Selene had become someone I deeply admired. She had opened my eyes to a different side of the world. To a different kind of strength.Two days from now, Lucian and I will leave. But tonight, we were cele

Chapter: Chapter 82: A second chance~Amara~That night, I couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t just because my baby decided that midnight was the perfect time for him to go on a rollercoaster, but because of what Lucian had told me.It would have hurt so much holding so much pain inside, and not having anyone to share it with. I couldn’t imagine what it had done to him, and how much it must have mandated him to change.All these years, I’d misunderstood him, and I never let him try to explain himself. I started to feel a little guilty, but I quickly schooled myself. It wasn’t really my fault if I’d misunderstood him all this time. He could have explained things to me sooner if he trusted me enough to handle his secrets.“I think it’s time to forgive your father, little wolf,” I murmured, stroking my belly. “What do you think? Do you think I should keep up with this grudge? Or should we just let everything go?”I received double kicks, which I took as a sign of affirmation from the little life inside of me. A smile lit up my face,

Chapter: Chapter 5: Dead…or not~Valerie~“Is she really breathing now?”“I actually thought she would die since her wolf never showed up”.“Tell the alpha that the prisoner is awake”The noise and voices were just too much for me to handle. If I had known that the afterlife would be this noisy, maybe I wouldn’t have tried to kill myself. The main reason I decided to slash my wrist was to die and rest in peace. This noise totally defeated the purpose.But as sudden as the voices came, they disappeared. The peace and calm that I expected finally descended. I slowly cracked my eyes open, excited to finally uncover the mystery of the underworld. A sharp beam of light made me squint and reach over my eyes to cover it with my palm. That was too bright even for a living wolf. Maybe werewolves are supernaturally recharged here so that they’ll withstand even the most stringent things.I took a deep breath and immediately regretted it. The air was heavy with the smell of strong antiseptics. The longer I stayed in this under

Chapter: Chapter 4~Valerie~“Whip, whip” The tongue of the whips tore through my skin like a knife slicing through a portion of red meat. The pains ricocheted through my body, making me weak. I had lost count of the whips that I had already been given. All I wanted to do then was probably join my dead parents in whatever world they were in right now. I am mad at them. Yes. Mad for letting themselves get murdered. Mad for leaving me all alone in this world. And mad for not leaving me under any insurance at all.An omega? I killed them? I couldn’t believe how my life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. “That is enough. You will kill her at this point” a voice filtered from the doorway. I looked up from where I was sprawled on the floor and saw Cordy standing there.And why in the heavens is the son of the bald alpha not with his mother yet? Is he here to make sure that the pain is served cold?“Alpha Lockwood ordered that hundred strokes…” the guard started.“I said, enough!” Cordy growled. “Get

Chapter: Chapter 3~Valerie~I couldn’t understand why the Pack council decided to hastily bury my parents in the space of six hours, especially for a Beta who was murdered. As long as I can remember, it takes at least one week before burial so that the relevant authorities can lay their hands on whatever evidence they can get their hands on. My eyes swept through the crowd at the burial ground. There were so many people; a lot of them that I didn’t particularly know. But Pack is family, right? I glanced around for a sign of Cordy but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe I’m trying to build castles in the air but I still refuse to accept that Cordy had rejected me last night. The bond that we have is too strong for that to happen. And the way he looked at me before the sudden decision that he took, I saw that he still loves me. Maybe I had seemed so needy. Isn’t that why he called me promiscuous?I sniffled and turned my attention back to the two graves before me. At this point, my red, puffy eyes could

Chapter: Chapter 2~Valerie~I watched as he walked to the restroom, my heart pounding in my chest. I wondered what it was that he needed to show me in the restroom. I counted twenty seconds off my fingers and stood, took my purse, and headed to meet him.I opened the door and found him patiently waiting for me with a dangerous glint in his eyes.“Cordy, what was it that you couldn’t show me out there? Are you trying to murder…”Before the sentence could roll off my tongue, I found myself banged up against a wall with Cordy’s tongue invading my mouth. It made me breathless and giddy. But damn, it was the hottest kiss I’ve ever gotten from him. I went on a tip-toe, wrapped my hands around his neck, and opened my mouth more, giving him unlimited access. But then he pulled back, warranting a groan of non-appreciation from me.“What was it that you said again? About me not affecting you hm?” he whispered in my ear while his hands assaulted my body.I moaned and arched towards him, wanting him to stop the on

Chapter: Chapter 1~Valerie~I stared defiantly at my father who was tired of explaining the same thing to me because as usual, I am stubborn and I never listen; at least not when it comes to matters of the heart. He puffed out an exasperated breath and took two dangerous steps closer to me. I took two steps back and my stare wavered a bit because there was no denying of the authority in those steps that he just took. But no, I will not back down.“Have you been listening to anything that I’ve been saying for the past twenty minutes?” my father said, a bit too softly for my liking.My father Rohan, is the Beta and second in command of our pack, Silverhowl Pack which made him able to afford so not-so-basic things in life. We have a big beautiful house and a little respect which comes from the title. Anyway, my father has been having a fit ever since I told him that Cordy, the first son of the alpha, is my mate. He and the alpha seem to have a good relationship so why is he trying to talk me out of lettin
