Two years ago, I was human. No, I should say I forced myself to be human. I will still wholesomely say I had been human because I had no qualities of being a wolf aside from my parents' being one. But literally, I would say I was the worst human to grace the planet earth due to how antisocial I was. I mean, who would want to be friends with someone whose mind harbored different thoughts on how to take vengeance?

After I had escaped from the crisis that occurred to my pack years ago, I lived with my grandmother, who was human. Honestly, I would say it was a big miracle how I had been able to get out of the woods alive, but here I was, still alive and well.

My identity was a two-timer, more like a hybrid as I was both wolf and human. My father had been pure wolf from an Alpha bloodline and had broken the order of the wolf pack by being mated to a human who then became my mother. Such a thing wasn't outlawed anymore, but it was frowned upon in the society. It wasn't like it was something they could both control because finding a mate wasn't one's call but just a fated kind of thing, as I had mentioned before. But being that my father was the soon-to-be Alpha, they had let it slide.

The moment I knew I had to stop trying to be human was when I turned sixteen. That was exactly two years ago. And it was basically at the time that my grandma, who had been trying to force me to at least act human, accepted that I could never be one even though I carried the blood of one. My hybrid identity was never a secret to me, so when the change had occurred, I had genuinely accepted it, mostly because I had been waiting for that change all my life.

“We have arrived,”

Soon as I heard those words, I realized that the ride I was in has finally come to a halt. All along, my mind had been someplace else. I looked straight ahead, and my eyes caught the sight of a majestic building behind a barricaded wall. With the look of things, it meant I was finally at the place where everything was about to take a turnaround for me.

I turned my head to the other side, and for the first time since I began this journey, I met his gaze. The gaze of the one who, unfortunately, has been mated to me. What bad luck he had. If only he knew what was coming his way.

His eyes met mine. Those pair of green eyes were the same that stared back at me the first time I found out who my mate was going to be. Thinking about that day brought back memories of what had transpired. And hell, I really do not want to think about it.

Accepting a mate is first sealed with a kiss. A tingling sensation, or should I call it sparks, would be felt before and during the process. And trust me, both individuals would feel it.

But mine had been totally different. Instead of a wavy feeling, I had felt slight disgust right from when the sweet scent that I had traced had led me to my mate, being that I had already known the original identity of the one I was to get mated to. And honestly, I bore a hatred for him and the whole of his pack even though it was apparent he had nothing to do with the whole thing.

It had come to me as a shock, and at the same time, I was happy to realize that plans were about to be made more accessible. The kiss had been a reminder to me that there was a mission I had to execute. And since that already, I wasn't going to falter away from that.

Luckily for me, I haven't accepted to be marked yet — I haven't even wholeheartedly accepted him as mate, and we weren't even going to rush things — if not, he would be able to know what's on my mind. Trust me, with the intense way I was staring at him at the moment, he would have been able to figure that something was going on with me if that had been the case.

"Adaliah, are you okay?" he asked me in the most loving way possible, and for a moment, I was mesmerized by his voice. There was just no fighting it — the effect of the mate bond was much stronger than my will to hate him. But guess what? I'm a fighter, and I'm definitely not going to allow that to get through me.

I gave him a nod and uttered, "I'm okay. Just a bit nervous, that's all,"

He held out a hand toward me and caressed my shoulder. "It's okay to be nervous. Don't worry. I'm here with you,"

The way he uttered those words made me believe I wasn't the first girl he was saying that to. Call it a jealous instinct, and I won't argue, but it had been really smooth that if I were a feeble-minded person, I would have quickly fallen for him. All I could do was smile at him like a fool in love. Even though it was the dumbest move I could think of at the moment, it was the only thing I could do that wouldn't make him think otherwise of me.

The car was driven into the building after the guards outside had let us through. We both stepped out of the car simultaneously, and I had to adjust my gown, which had blown up due to the heavy gust of wind that was all around. I took in the scenery of the new environment I was in, and I could see that there were guards stationed outside the majestic building whom, with their smell, I could sense they were werewolves like me.

Many times in the past, I had wanted to be here. I had wanted it more than anything, holding a knife and putting it through the main person that had made my life so unpleasant. But knowing the risks involved, I had kept my emotions in check. I wouldn't even make it past the first gate if I had ever attempted such. Right now, I was in the same territory without anything to fear.

I turned my head to the other side to look at him again, and I had to force a smile at him when I saw him staring back at me. He gestured with his head for us to head into the building, and I complied almost instantly. We met across the car, and that was when he took my hand in his. I can't deny that it almost felt magical. I'm sure it's because I have never really had my hand being held that way by a man. Being a hopeless romantic, I never explored love in the past, so all of this felt new to me.

The guards didn't do anything to stop us and let us in. Well, they definitely couldn't stop the Alpha's son from passing through even though he was with a stranger. All the same, their attentive gaze at me didn't go unnoticed.

The interior of the building had this vibe I had never felt before. I had lived in something similar to this in the past, but this had a totally different vibe to it. In as much as I couldn't place my hand as to where the feeling was coming from, I wasn't going to associate it with my dislike for the occupants. But I eventually found out deep inside the building.

All through the passageway, there were different artifacts that I had never seen before, and while looking at them all,  I could see they were medieval but of rare quality. They might be way too old, but surprisingly they still looked good as new. My love for art made me realize their quality, and I wouldn't lie, I was impressed with what I saw.

I'm sure he noticed how intrigued I was with the different artifacts I saw in the hallway because all through he didn't bother to make small talks with me. I was impressed all the way, and before I knew it, we had arrived at a totally different room in the building.

I could see it was the main quarters. And with the presence of more than ten people in there, my anxiety began to kick in. Did I mention I wasn't used to the company of so many people in the same place? Well, seeing and being this close to people I don't know wasn't something I would ever get used to.

The moment our presence became known to the others, all eyes turned in our direction. And for a brief moment, I felt the urge for the earth to open up and swallow me.

"Greetings, Father," I heard my mate say, and I decided to check who those words were being directed at. And for the first time ever, I was getting a closer look at the man, or should I say wolf, who had most likely been the cause of my predicament.

And I could swear, I was beginning to lose it.

  • A Different Type of Mate   Chapter 3

    I didn't have complete control of my actions or behavior as I had something inside of me that most times guided me from making drastic decisions. That was my wolf, the one which I had acquired on my sixteenth birthday. She was a part of me, like the other half of my soul. So whenever it looked like I was about to go out of line, she always brought me back on track.The moment I had wanted to start seething with rage, she had instantly cautioned me to stop. It didn't take too long for my wolf's warning sound to restore my mood to how it was initially, but I knew I wasn't going to last that way for long. Not when I was directly in front of the werewolf that had been the cause of my parents' death.I had to be careful of the way I behaved, though, because I knew something about wolves being able to perceive the fear of others. And Alphas were known to have a greater sense for something like that. So one mistake from my end could give out my hid

    Instantly, I got a reply via the link.‘Lia, are you okay? It took you a while to get to me. Did anyone recognize you? Are you in any problem?’That was my uncle for you, always so panicky despite being much older than I am. Or should I say generations because I wasn’t even sure of his age. I wouldn’t blame him, though. I was the only one he got and me, him.I made a slight chuckle through the link, even going as far as laughing out loud unintentionally. No matter how antisocial I was, that didn’t prevent me from getting a good laugh now and then. And my uncle sure did always give me the opportunity to do so. ‘Do you really think anyone’s going to recognize me? It’s not like they know I actually did survive that incident,’ I told him, suppressing the urge to laugh at him again. Since my mind was working with my physical self, a smile had been plastered on my face already.‘We can’t be

    Running — that was something I hated. But as I ran at the moment, it was because I had no other choice but to do so. It was a matter of life and death for me, although I would mostly say it was out of an impulse to find a way out of where I was.The woods were thick, and there were thorns on the ground that were causing blisters to the sole of my feet that I could feel as I had no covering to my feet. I don’t know how long I have been running for, but I knew I had to get away, far away from where I was coming from. I didn’t even know where I was heading to, but I just had to keep up with the pace.There was no single soul out here, so going through the place was causing an emotional trauma for me. I was scared, and for the little girl that I was, I had begun whimpering. I only had to hope I was safe from harm because right now, I was more than prone to danger. Anything could be out there for all I know. The fear of rogues was what got me bothered the

    “Who is she? Why does it seem like I know her somewhere? Like I’ve met her someplace before…” Ronald McKenzie asked himself as he paced about the main quarters of the packhouse. He had his hands folded behind his back as the cold weather breezed through the windows right into the quarters. The main quarters had a combination of mundane and ancient interiors, from the furniture to the other pieces of equipment. It made it have an otherworldly vibe to it, and this was primarily due to how long the occupants have been in there. It was right in the early hours of the day since he got up from bed just to think through something. The bags under his eyes made it a realization that he didn’t even have a nice sleep. He had been continuously pacing about since he arrived in the living room, proving that he indeed had something on his mind. And whatever issue it was, it seemed to be more than what he could handle. &nb

    I was bored. Extremely bored. And the only thing that came to my mind for me to do was to walk around inside the passageways of the main quarters of Green Woods packhouse. And yes, I was doing that alone, coupling the boredom I was experiencing. It’s been three days now since I first stepped foot into the Green Woods pack. And yesterday, I finally moved into the packhouse since I was mated to someone among them. It was the obligation of any she-wolf to move to the pack of her mate if he was from another pack. Even though I kind of wished I hadn’t moved yet, it still felt right that I had decided to undergo that sooner. My uncle had been entirely neutral when I left his place yesterday. He hadn’t shown any sort of reaction all through the time I had been reshuffling my stuff to move out. And I couldn’t even tell how he truly felt that I was finally leaving him after being with him for two years because I, for one, had been so down.

    I looked the lady over in the most intense way to know if I had seen her somewhere around here before. She was probably a pack member, or maybe she was among Garrett’s family members. Even with all the guessing I made about her, there was no familiarity to her. A scent, though, caught my nostrils. And at the same time, I felt Anya growl at the back of my head. My countenance instantly changed, and I could feel myself becoming more furious as the moments passed. The scent all over the lady was that of Garrett. It was like she was him in particular, and that was what I had thought when she had first arrived. Or maybe she had been with him not too long ago, I couldn’t tell. Probably she was even his sister. All the same, I didn’t care. The fact that she had his scent on her was more than enough to get me furious. I wasn’t supposed to be jealous that my mate had his scent on another lady, not minding who the lady was.

    It didn’t take me too long to find Garrett after I set out looking for him. Even though that self-acclaimed girlfriend of his had his scent on her, it didn’t mean she could possess it from afar because it wasn’t strong enough. The way the scent of we wolves works was strange but ordinary at the same time. It was in a way that only the original owner would be perceived from far away by tracing their scent. If someone else has the actual wolf’s scent on, there was no guarantee that that particular scent could be perceived from afar except being next to others. His scent, which had a mix of honey and cinnamon, or whatever it was, led me straight to the front of a room. I stood still when I arrived there. This was most likely the door leading into his room, and it felt awkward if I were going to get into his room, which would mean we would be left all alone in there. The thought of that sent an uncomfortable chill down

    “Shit,” Garrett muttered under his breath as he turned around to watch the retreating back of Adaliah. He wanted to call her back, but he couldn’t, knowing fully well that she would ignore him. He could only watch on as she went out of sight before taking his gaze away from the entrance.It wasn’t her fault that she had been threatened. Hell no, it was his. If only he had done the right thing, then maybe such wouldn’t have occurred. He had two days to take the right action, but the sympathetic side of him didn’t think it through that it would most likely affect his mate. And the result, at the end of the day, wasn’t in his favor.He should have put Brix to order already, more like cutting whatever thing he had with her in the past even though she was the one he had been in a relationship with before he finally got mated. The circumstances surrounding the thing he had with her were what had been givin

  • A Different Type of Mate   Chapter 99

    Life was slowly seeping out of him right before my eyes, with silent grunts escaping his lips. Just like that, his ability has completely vanished from his hands as he put them down slowly. The hand that went through his chest is pulled back slowly to reveal a hole right there with a lot of blood dripping from the open wound. I wouldn’t know what to call that because it was akin to doom in my opinion. When he goes down to his knees, I get a clear picture of who committed the act on the elder. “Monica?” I whisper because I cannot speak out loud. But it was more than likely to get the attention of the dark-haired lady standing behind the elder. She was the last person I would expect to be here. Not even in my wildest dreams would I see her lending a hand in such a situation. We might have let her in on a bit of our plan but I never imagined she would follow up in some way. Her gaze was aimed di

    I burst the doors open, and the first sight I catch is that of two lifeless bodies on the ground. They looked like that of the guards I had seen when I had arrived here hidden in Garrett’s car. But what I know is that their being down was not my doing. I might have been in a clash with those agents but I did not extend it to this point.What was left for me now was to figure out which direction that monster had run through. He would be long gone by now, which I am sure of after using some time inside beforehand. If I had my hyper sense, I would have traced his scent but that cannot be possible at this moment.I can rely on my instincts now and so got down from the balcony of the building. The woods on the side of the main route wasn’t as thick as the regular woods so I could see through it. Nothing caught my fancy, though but it meant I was not going to acknowledge that path. After thinking for a few seconds, I proceed to go with

    The dark power being exhibited by the elder was thought to be aimed at his fellow elders who already have accepted that he was going to harm them. But it went past them when released, going straight into a dark area of the room behind them. Others would have thought it was crazy but the elder had something in mind that he wanted to accomplish with that.The force he had shot into the dark area yielded a result as before it crashed into the place, out came a being from it who rolled on the floor to get away from the impending doom. And when that happened, the elder got his hands ready for another shot of his abilities.“She’s here...” loud gasps escaped the lips of the other two elders that he initially should have attacked as they observed the intruder that he had lured out of the dark area.It was a lady. And this became a full discovery when she raised her head to look at them while she remained knee-

    From where I had thought I made a surprise lethal attack, I widened my eyes in shock at what I was seeing. My attack had been stopped, but not just by any means. It was through the same way I had thrown out mine — a gifted ability.Time seemed to freeze at the very least. My head seemed to be throbbing as a bad headache was at the point of developing. I just couldn’t comprehend the sight and I swear I could burst my head open from having to.The crazy thing about the event was who had stopped the beam I had shot out of my hands. Literally, it was to the very person I had in mind which only happened out of impulse after surviving an attack just outside. Because I could tell it was the Western Border elder’s men that had almost finished me off yet again, I wanted to retaliate, not considering the later consequences. But who would have thought it would yield the unexpected of events.There was something da

    The moment Garrett ‘barged’ into the inner room of the building alongside Luke, four pairs of eyes rained on him. Belonging to the supposed occupants of the building, the gazes screamed anger, more than likely to pressure a vulnerable being.Something about the way they were stern-looking said they were in the middle of an important discussion and they were clearly not pleased with the fact that they have been intruded upon. But Garrett, who was the culprit of their frowns, pretended like he saw none of what they were displaying.“What is the meaning of this, Garrett? Didn’t the guards tell you we are in the middle of a meeting?” one of the four told the nonchalant young man, exuding much of his angry reaction toward him in the process.“They did,” Garrett said as he finally walked to their fronts, “but I can assure you that what you are having now won’t be as importa

    It was stuffy in here, so much that I was finding it hard to breathe. Imagine being put inside a space that doesn’t fit the size of your body but you have to squeeze yourself in it so you can stay at least comfortable. And to add to that discomfort, a load of clothes is used to cover the whole of your body.Just as it seems ridiculous right now to think of was the same way I had frowned upon it when I was told it was the way I would be positioned before I could go out with the boys as planned. Luke, whose car was being used to transport us to our destination, had directly told me I would be going with them in the bunker, adding that it was the only option to take so I won’t be caught on the way. I would say he was following Garrett’s way of stating I should stay hidden.The only reason I agreed eventually was because I didn’t want to end up walking to the place. It was much of a distance away from the Green Woods pack

    I guess whatever you run from keeps coming back to you. Like an addiction or so. You tell yourself you do not want to do it anymore, you do not want a part of it again. But at the end of the day, you find yourself in it again.That is just like my chronicles with the Green Woods pack since I escaped from it a few weeks ago. For two different reasons, I’ve had to come back. And those two reasons were really worth the risk. If one has a connection with the topmost body, why wouldn’t it come easy to penetrate a place you should be dreading?This time around, it took a lot of mental convincing that I needed to be here. Two days ago when I had been here with Garrett for the books, what had happened after that was something I wouldn’t want to be repeated. And I’m talking about the two events that nearly got me killed.The main reason I accepted to be here was that I have nowhere else to run to after my

    We ran like our lives depended on it... because they did.How Garrett got the strength to hold on to his unconscious friend without his speed being affected surprises me. Funny enough, he was still in his human form, which makes me rather curious as to how he was doing it.Something tells me he chose not to transform because he knew I would be unable to keep up with his speed. If it had not been for the weight on him limiting his speed, which I’m sure is intentional, then there would be no catching up with him for me.I was right ahead of him, straining my ears at the same time to know if I would hear anything or anyone on our tails. But all the while, I’ve got nothing.The reason we were running right through the woods after escaping my now dead grandma’s house was that the backyard of the apartment was connected to the woods. She had her apartment right among those in the outskirt

    Asides from the keywords, I would sum up Luke’s explanation to be a load of jargon. Terms I was finding difficult to understand. But I did grab the main point of it all. An anonymous source was destroying evidence of my pack’s existence.Garrett suddenly asks Luke, “Did you get the rest of the data to serve as proof that the council hasn’t been doing their jobs right?”“Yeah,” Luke nods, “I have it saved in my drive. The drive is right here with me,” and he taps the cross bag that he has with him while speaking.I notice Garrett staring at me so I stare right back, but he takes his gaze off the moment I do so.“Have you made any progress with the books?” Luke speaks up after about a minute of silence has reigned in the air.Garrett was quick to respond. “Yes,” he says, “My father documented in thi
