I stare at Ashton, still trying to process what he just said to me. He looks anxious as he waits for a reply from me. I put down the glass of sparkling water and clear my throat.

“Our love?” I question him. “Are you being serious right now, Ashton?”

“This is the most serious I have ever been in my life,” He reaches for my hand from across the table but I flinch away. He does not get to do this, it isn’t fair.

“You don’t get to do this,” I chuckle dryly. “Can you even hear yourself?” I run my hand through my hair.

“Get to do what? I’m just being honest, Lara. We were made to be together, the moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes.” His stare at me is starting to feel uncomfortable. “I want to be with you,” He adds bravely, and I scoff.

“You know what? F*ck you, Ashton.” I snap, and he seems taken aback, if not offended. A few of the other people eating here all look our way and I am reminded mentally that I’m talking to the Alpha of the Blue River pack.

It’s just that he makes me s

    Ashton has a look on his face that tells me that he does not like being bossed around, especially by Betas who think they are in over their own heads. As he is about to speak, I hand him the bottle of wine that I brought with me from the restaurant.“Make sure to get this to my parents,” I force a smile as he tentatively takes it from my hand. “I guess I have a meeting with your father,” I add, and he frowns.“I won’t go back on my word. You have nothing to worry about, I will do what I have promised,” Ashton reaches for my hands, and this time, I allow him to hold them. His touch is comforting, and the warmth from his hands makes me smile.I really need to find where my head’s at. I feel like I’m falling for Zayn and we almost kissed last night at the party, but now with Ashton giving me so many words of affirmation and being nice to me, I can feel my heart yearning for him too.I hate emotions. I would rather think with my head than my heart. Nothing ends well from just thinking wit

    My lips curve into a smile at what Zayn just said. Is he being serious? The meeting I just had with the Lycan grows dull in my mind instantly in the wake of such good news. If he have found the orb, then Harvey’s attempt to get it would be useless, or close to impossible.“Oh my gosh, where is it?” I ask as I laugh happily. “It’s here in Beacon, right?” Zayn puts the bowl of food he has in his hand and walks up to me. “It’s here, alright. And since you know Beacon better than anyone else in this room, you are going to be our guide.” He reaches for my hands and I let him.As soon as I feel his hands over mine, my mind plays a cruel joke on me by replaying how Ashton held my hands outside of Tastebuds. Feeling a weird sense of guilt, I pull away from Zayn’s grasp, but he does take offense or any serious notice of my reaction.“It’s in Hulu forest, buried near an old cotton tree,” He informs me, and I take in the information. “You know the place, I’m guessing?” He asks, and I nod in res

  • A Forbidden Bond   Murder And Kindness

    This is the first time in my life for me to see Harper this way. Snot is rolling down from her nose and her eyes are red from crying so much. Her arms have fresh scratches on them, and her designer jeans have a patch of what looks like dried blood on it.“I had no choice, he was so…angry.” Harper's voice breaks and she begins to cry. My heart truly aches for her. Even though she has made my life a nightmare, I can’t help but feel sorry for her. “I regret nothing, and I would gladly do it again,” She adds, her voice now firm and filled with a form of anger. Her mother closes the distance between them and hugs her, comforting her daughter even though she just confessed to murder.“Okay, maybe we can help. But first, we have to know everything that happened. Every single detail,” Zayn speaks, and Bunny calls for his attention by yanking on his shirt.“I don’t know if you forgot but we came here for something, and we don’t have much time before they notice that we are gone from the mansi

    Soaked. We are all soaked as we follow Zayn deeper into the forest; he’s leading us to where he saw the orb in his vision. The rain is pouring heavily and there are now flashes of lightning in the sky. The winds are cold and unforgiving and the ground is all mushy and wet.We have now passed the oak tree that I used to hide under. No one seems to be talking, we all just walk in silence until Zayn suddenly stops. “Here!” He says.He looks at me. “This is the place I saw in my vision.” “I don’t mean to sound not excited, but that’s just a tree. A very old and ordinary tree,” Bunny says. “It’s not even glowing,” She adds, and I chuckle.“What exactly did you see in the vision?” I ask him as I put a few wet strands of my hair behind my ear. It’s still raining but at least we have finally reached where we were headed. The only thing now is we don’t know what to do. “I saw this forest, and I was led to this tree. Then…then I just had this strong feeling that this place was special; that t

    I don’t know how to respond to what Ashton just said. He is staring at me, waiting for me to say something when I am literally at loss for words. “He doesn’t,” I try to lie, and Ashton laughs at my failed attempt. Even I don’t believe myself. “I don’t think lying is for you. You should really consider just sticking to telling the truth because you really suck at lying,” He laughs, and I look in the direction of Zayn and the others. They are a small distance away and waiting for me. “I need to get going,” I mumble as I force a smile but Ashton stops me by saying, “Wait, Lara. I really don’t want you to forget what I told you at the restaurant. All I need is a chance from you.” “Sure…” I nod and then I leave without looking back. Afraid that if I do, Ashton would stop us from leaving so he can take the orb from Zayn, which would cause a fight that would be remembered forever. Or maybe I’m just paranoid. I think I am. “What did he say?” Zayn asks me when I reach the group. “I don

    Zayn’s mouth opens in an attempt to speak but no words come out. He takes a step away from me and laughs dryly as I try to touch his arm. “Why keep this from me?” His words are filled with hurt.I feel awful that even though I was the same person that placed the bright smile on his face at first, I am also the one to wipe it off as quickly as an unexpected sneeze. “I don’t get why you felt the need to keep this from me,” He says as he rubs the slightly grown stubble on his face. “Don’t you trust me?”“No, that’s not it. Zayn, I trust you. I really do,” I reply to him, and an emotion flashed across his eyes.“Then why keep this away from me?” “I don’t…I don’t know, I was scared, I guess,” I tell him truthfully, stuttering a bit in the process. “Lara, I don’t want you to ever be afraid to tell me anything. I’m on your side,” He holds my shoulders in comfort and I breathe out a sigh of relief. He’s not angry. Gosh, it makes me feel so good that he’s not pissed at me.“I know, I know.

    I inhale sharply as my eyes widen at the sight of my blood-covered hand. I instinctively look at my other hand and I realize that it’s covered in blood too. “Oh my gosh. Oh, sh*t,” I mumble to myself in fear. What the hell is going on? With a labored breath, I reach for the person laying on the forest floor regardless of the blood on me. As soon as I touch the individual, the man begins to cough and groan in pain.“Help me,” He begs me, and the thought of me being naked goes to the back of my head when the guy turns his body around, revealing his stomach. His guts are literally out, spilled onto his body.How the hell is he still alive? And why do I have blood on my hands? Did I do this, or is this another nightmare? I really do hope this is a nightmare.“Please, help me,” The man wheezes as squints his eye, trying his best to stay conscious, or even alive.“Uh, tell me what to do?” I ask him frantically as my eyes land on the severity of his wound. He is so messed up right now. Look

  • A Forbidden Bond   Hello, Wolf

    I am sitting upright on the bed waiting with bated breath to hear what the nurse has to say to me. I want to know the problem she is talking about. Am I sick? Do I have a tumor and I’m going to die? “So, we have done an extensive search on your fingerprints and DNA and have nothing in the system for you. It’s like you don’t exist,” The nurse explains. “That’s because I only moved here a few weeks ago,” I reply to her. “Ah…” She studies the binder in her hand and bites a lower lip. “That explains that.” She makes a sound with her tongue and teeth. “I feel like you’re not telling me everything. Is everything okay?” Her eyes meet mine, and she exhales deeply. “You’re not one of us, you’re a she-wolf,” She spits out, and I let out a sigh of relief. Gosh, I thought it was something worse. “ Which also explains the reason why your test results are way off the charts.” I chuckle at how serious her face is, but again, I have no right to because my people and her people are not exactly

    “Come on, guys. You have Lara and me out here waiting like kids waiting to open up gifts on Christmas morning!” Zayn exclaimed, causing everyone to laugh. The door suddenly opened by itself and my eyes widened mildly. “Did that door just open by itself?” I took a step back, and Ashton and Zoe were amused by my reaction. The door opened wider and a golden retriever jumped out of the car, almost giving me a heart attack. “Gosh!” I exclaimed as I held Zayn’s arm tightly. “I’m not going to lie, I was a bit startled when that dog came out.” Zayn laughed lightly. “So that’s the surprise, huh? A doggie.” Zayn bend down and played with the dog. I had a small fear of dogs. One bit me when I was a kid and since then I have been terrified of them. No matter how cute and cuddly they were, I stayed my distance away from them. The golden retriever kept licking and jumping on Zayn like it had known him for years. “The doggie is a surprise but not for you guys, he’s for the kids.” Ashton

    It was Christmas day, the 25th of December. Werewolves were howling in celebration even though it was the sun that was up. Carols were being played and families were together. The air was warm, the sky was crystal blue, and the day was perfect. Where did the Werewolf Territory take the concept of Christmas when we believed in the Moon goddess? We adopted it thousands of years ago when humans once lived amongst us. They celebrated our holidays and so we did the same, as a show of respect. That was when the word Christmas entered the vocabulary of the Werewolf Territory. And since then, we have celebrated the day and passed on the tradition from generation to generation. The Christmas tree in the living room was lit up and gifts were scattered under it. All the kids were up and sat eagerly next to their presents, waiting for us to give them the go-ahead to start opening up them. The air was filled with anticipation and joy. A hot cup of chocolate sat in my hand and Zayn was drinki

    My claws immediately sprang forth from underneath my fingernails, and a growl escaped my mouth. “What the hell are you doing here? You should be in prison.” I was on the verge of wolfing out. It was not like I felt threatened by Jacob, but I did not like the fact that he was in our mansion without us even knowing. The kids were literally right across the hall from there. “Please. Please calm down and let me explain,” He begged. He placed the box of chocolate on the kitchen island and took a step toward us.“Not another step, buddy. I won’t hesitate to rip you to pieces.” Zayn threatened him, and he gulped as he nodded. My wolf had not gotten any real action for a while and it was yearning for some. I usually trained in the training room with Zoe and the others almost every Saturday though my wolf wanted more. “Start explaining.” I breathed out a short sigh as I continued to keep my wolf at bay.“Okay. Okay. But first, promise not to kick me out, please?” His eyes were pleading. I

    ‘You can’t save me, she-wolf.’ The words echoed in my head as I stared into Alex’s sad eyes. He looked convinced that he was beyond saving and that seemed to scare me a bit. He was too sure.“But at least let me try,” I begged him. He scoffed. “What are you even going to do? Bring my wife back?” He rose to his feet. “For now, Lara, just let me try to figure out the journey I’m on emotionally. I will go back to my pack…eventually.” “Okay.” I did not push him. And he did have a point. What was I going to do to save him? I was not a superhero. I did not have special powers. I was just a she-wolf that cared deeply for people.And apparently, that was called a hero mentality; wanting to help everyone to the point where sometimes I didn’t even regard myself. Alex may have said it while he was lashing out but I think he was right: He had been a leader way longer than I had. I may have been queen but that was just a nice coating, deep inside, I was still an omega. “It’s kind of late, I th

    A few seconds of silence filled the home theatre because the cartoon could not play forever, obviously. The projector was now off and the fancy inbuild lights on the ceiling were on. Alex sat next to me and played with his fingers nervously. He looked slightly uncomfortable but a look of determination also could be seen on his face. “For starters, I have two questions.” I began, and he turned his full attention to me. “Shoot.”“First one is what you mean when you said that I have earned the right or privilege to ask you about anything?” I raised one of my eyebrows. He smiled weakly. “Lara, you have become family. You have proven to me that you can be trusted and that you are willing to go through hell to protect my son. Do we have to do the whole ‘I am a blessing’ stuff over again?” He chuckled, and I could not help but laugh lightly. “No, thank you,” I refused as I continued to laugh. “That is why I came back here after I lashed out at you. You did not deserve that; you have be

    I sat down next to Alex and the smell of his cologne filled my nose. It was a strong scent but I really liked it though. The black-and-white cartoon playing on the projector was aesthetically pleasing. It reminded me of the past. Not just any past, or mine. But like the 1960s. Weird because I was not even alive at that time but that was the vibe I got from looking at Mickey Mouse doing funny dances while in black-and-white color. “You said you wanted to talk?” Alex smiled weakly as intrigue smeared his facial features. He was wearing a hoodie that looked great on him. If we were not about to talk about serious matters, I would have asked him where he got it. “Yeah, but you go first. What do you want to talk about?” I adjusted myself in my seat and made myself comfortable enough. My attention was trained on him as I awaited him to speak. “You sure?” “Yeah, go ahead.” I encouraged him. I was curious as to what he wanted to talk to me about. But I already knew what I wanted to talk

    I crossed my legs and watched Gene and Zayn sip lemonade from the glasses that were brought by the male helper. I was very invested in Gene’s backstory. I wanted to know more. “You have not touched your lemonade, dear,” Gene pointed out and we both glanced at the tall glass that was filled with the yellowy-sugary drink. “Her teeth hurt when she drinks lemonade,” Zayn explained politely, and I smiled involuntarily. He placed his hand over mine on the couch and a warm feeling filled my chest. “Sorry,” I mouthed to Gene but she brushed me off lightly. “Oh, that’s alright. You should have told me.” She crossed her legs too. “Would you like me to send for water?” “No, it’s okay. Don’t trouble yourself.” I played with the tips of my hair. “You said that the Silver Moon pack has unspoken laws?” “Uh, yeah. Laws that have been passed down from generation to generation. It’s not written and posted somewhere but it’s in the hearts of all the inhabitants of Rocky. I learned about those laws

    Smiles. Laughter. Joy. A lightness filled the air as Alex got out of the detective’s car. Snow fell from the sky and soon made white patches on his hair. His face was flushed and he had a smile so bright, that it could light up a dark night. The light humming of the car lingered in the air, and detective Stone and her wife got out of the car seconds later with cheerful looks on their faces. Bunny and the others joined us outside and Liam was out of words when his eyes landed on his dad. He glanced at me and his lips parted in disbelief. “Thank you,” He mouthed, and then turned his attention back to Alex. Liam watched his dad approach him and his eyes became glossy as they threatened to spill tears. He kept clenching and unclenching his jaw, and I could tell that he was trying his best to stop himself from crying. When Alex closed the distance between him and his son, they hugged each other tightly, and the scene made me teary. Zayn wrapped his right arm around my torso and pulled
