LauraI bitterly swallow coffee while watching Marcus gather the new recruits to become warrior werewolves. I was never allowed to join these training sessions back in my pack. Women weren't supposed to fight. We were expected to be calm and collected. Our alpha preferred we learned the piano instead of playing in the garden with swords like the boisterous boys did.The Rivermoon pack, however, is all about equality. Both teenage boys and girls look up at Marcus expectantly. They are smiling under the blazing sun, wearing shorts since the weather is warm. And me?I brought a sun chair and a bottle of coca-cola that I found in the fridge. I'm wearing a cap on my head that smells like Caleb, and then I stole a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses.It's summer in Caleb's country, and I'm going to watch these werewolves train.I'm very comfortable and wave at Marcus when he stares at me. His face immediately turns pale, and I frown. The poor beta is either afraid of me, or he finds me strange. I
LauraI'm baffled when it hits me full force that Jenna is the sister of alpha Roger and that she belongs to the Sunlight Shiver pack.Okay. I didn't expect that.I can't even speak—what do you say in a moment like this?I'm sorry I left your brother and the altar and humiliated you and your entire pack by rejecting him?Pft, that would be terrible.As if reading my mind, Jenna snorts. "What's the matter? Did the cat steal your tongue? Why did you suddenly lose your confidence, huh? Is it because you feel guilty over what you did?"Her friends snicker. I'm not sure what their names are, but they must be twins since they look identical."Either way," Jenna whips her hair over one shoulder, ready to turn away but not without looking me up and down. "You're a dead woman, Laura. Caleb will throw you out of his estate. Your white wolf is the only thing that makes you special—that's why Roger wanted to marry you. But seeing your human form? Damn, you look like a pubescent child. Unattractiv
LauraI'm not easily agitated. Scary movies never made me jump back in high school. My friends never managed to startle me. I can't even remember being afraid of the dark, and I wasn't the slightest unnerved by tales of monsters and ghosts.But I'm terrified now. My pulse is drumming against my neck, and I shake as I lift my chin to face the most enormous creature I've ever seen. The legends said the Lycans were giants, but really?Caleb hunches his massive shoulders to face me. Every muscle on his body bulges, making me freeze.I can't move. My feet might as well have grown gnarled roots and stuck them into the ground. I'm petrified as those blazing eyes lock on mine.Caleb's lips are pulled over his teeth, and his warm breath hits my face.He is more than twice my height. His fur is darker than the night, and his body is swollen with strength. Every finger is equipped with a razor-sharp claw instead of a nail.Powerful. Intimidating.Scary.Yet I believe I can somehow reach him
LauraMy heart is racing, but I'm trying to remain calm. I thread lightly over fallen tree branches, stopping every few seconds to look and listen for any humans camping out here. Luckily, I'm only met with the sun dancing through the canopies far above me and the sound of birdsong.Still, I have to keep up my guard. The Rivermoon pack might own these woods. Yet humans tend to get curious enough to enter other people's lands. Humans can't smell and tell which territory belongs to which werewolf pack, and neither do they know about us werewolves existing. So it's not like I can blame them for coming here. But it would be tragic if Caleb ended up killing someone innocent."Caleb?!" I shout, circling my mouth with my hands. "Caleb? Are you here somewhere?"I hear rustling from a bush, but panic drills me like an arrow when I pick up the scent—it smells like the Sunlight Shiver pack!Before I get the chance to shape-shift, a large brown wolf jumps over me and snarls into my face. My b
LauraWaking up in the arms of a man feels great until I've fully opened my eyes. Caleb's beautiful face is in front of me. His eyes are closed, and those thick dark eyelashes are spread over his cheeks.Holy shit, he is back to his human self, and we are both naked!My cheeks go warm and hot, and I shriek, causing the man to tighten his hold of me. I'm hugged to his chiseled chest, dwarfed by Caleb, who keeps sleeping. "Caleb..." I hiss. "Let go of me!"Caleb stirs in his sleep and slowly opens his blue eyes. They stare into mine for the briefest moment before his eyebrows rise. "Sorry, but..." his voice is deeper after having recently woken up, and he smacks his tongue before speaking. "Where the fuck are we?"Oh.Caleb doesn't remember?"You turned into a lycan during practice after someone bit you..." I squirm to escape from his arms, but the bastard is strong. He doesn't even seem to notice I'm fighting him. "And is that a fucking erection?!"Five large fingers graze my back.
LauraWhen we return to the pack house, Marcus and Ryan are waiting for us outside in the company of Olivia, Caleb's mother. Marcus and Ryan seem uncomfortable in her presence. Marcus doesn't lift his head, while Ryan's smile is apprehensive. I guess Olivia still behaves like the luna around here, even if Caleb has stepped up as the alpha.She is smoking a cigarette but throws it under her shoe upon seeing us. The flame gets stomped by her boot, and then she lifts her chin, smiling at her son before frowning upon meeting my eyes. "So this is your mate?" Olivia questions her son without even looking at him. She is too busy glaring daggers at me. "Her stance isn't proper, and that body is too short and chubby—no, this one won't do. She lacks the good manners to become the next luna too. Please pay attention to her shoulders. They aren't proud and elegant."I arch an eyebrow, about to give this old lady a piece of my mind to defend myself. Surprisingly, Caleb steps between us. His br
LauraI'm exhausted.I practiced table manners and kept my back straight while sitting by the kitchen table for two hours with Olivia. She is a fierce woman and seems to take pleasure in slapping her whip over my fingers.Sighing, I enter the elevator. Caleb's mansion has plenty of floors that belong to his company. They are above the living area, and I press the second button for the second floor.I lean against the wall, surprised when the elevator stops at level four without me pressing anything.My eyebrows furrow, and I wonder if the elevator is broken. I'm about to talk out when the doors open, but Caleb steps on.Immediately, I back up from the giant alpha. Caleb is dressed in a navy suit and tie. It can barely even contain him. Muscular man. Every nerve in my body runs wild when he peers down at me. A smile spreads over his lips, and I press my back against the wall. My heart is racing inside my chest—I can literally hear it, and shivers start crawling up and down my spine.C
CalebMy mood is elevated as I step into my office. "I wonder if Laura prefers abs or cock?" I tap my chin. "Maybe both?"I happily shed off my clothes on the floor and grab Laura's phone. It's time to have some fun before returning it to her.My sofa can't fit all of me, but I flip my legs over the armrest and get comfortable on my back with a cat-like smile. I rest my left arm behind my head, making my biceps pop while holding the camera above me."Now, let's give her a little photoshoot of what she misses out on..." I snap a picture of my face and pecs first, the second is of my abs, and I grab my cock for the third. Three seconds of thinking about fucking Laura in that elevator is enough to make me hard. My hand grips around my cock, and I press down on it a little before releasing it. It slaps proudly over my lower abs, perfect for the fourth picture. I snap a couple of images and snort. "I wonder if she would appreciate a little video?"Amusement makes me smile, and before I
Laura"Happy Birthday to you!" Caleb and I sing to our daughter, Mandy, who has just turned two. It's her birthday, and I have organized this colossal birthday bash for her, but she does not look thrilled."I wanna ride the bunny..." Mandy mumbles and points at Gary, who shakes his head no."Come on, Gary, be a good sport and let her ride your back!" Caleb looks at him with pleading eyes."Hell no! She pulls my ears a lot, and it hurts." Gary frowns.I look at Mandy. "Sweetheart, if uncle Gary let you ride on his back, do you promise not to pull his ears?"Mandy's lips curls into a mischievous smile. "I promise.""I don't trust her." Gary shakes his head again."Go ahead, Gary. Take Mandy for a ride on your shoulders. If you do that, I will let take you out on a date. You know, that amazing place you've always wanted to go to?" Marcus smirks. Gary's eyes light up. "The bugs bunny world? You know he is my idol!"I roll my eyes. Their relationship is a doozy. I don't know how and when
LauraI'm over the moon.I finally have everything I've ever wanted. Jenna is gone forever after being digested by Gary, I have Caleb as my mate, and now I am going to have his baby. What more could I want in life?Except, I have one small problem.Well, err... It's a problem."How much longer do you think he will stay with us?" Caleb whispers to me as we watch Gary chomping on his carrots.It is day two, and Gary is still here. "I don't know. I tried to ask Gary to find another place, but he said he likes this house a lot," I whisper back, shrugging at the situation. "I don't know how to get rid of him.""Erm...I can hear you two..." Gary says between munching. He puts down the carrot and points at his ears. "You see these things? They are not just ears. They act as antennas. I can hear things from miles away."Well, that's just lovely."By the way! These orange sticks are delicious! Can't believe my world doesn't have them. More reason to stay here!" Gary chirps and eats another c
CalebI miss Laura.She hasn't been gone that long, but it feels like my heart has been torn out of my chest. I haven't been able to sleep since she disappeared.I feel so helpless because I don't know how to reach her. Is she okay? Is she in trouble? Is she even alive?I hear a soft knock on my door, but I ignore it. I don't feel like having a visitor at the moment. Maybe if I don't answer the door, whoever it is outside will walk away slowly. Most people are afraid of me nowadays anyway."Caleb! Open the door, goddamnit."I am even more annoyed when I hear Jenna's voice. Ever since I found out about what she did to Laura, I've done my best not to lash out and do something drastic to her. I want Jenna to suffer for the shrinking Laura thing, but I want it to happen slowly. And I want Laura to be present when I punish Jenna for what she did. Because what's the point of avenging Laura if Laura is not here to enjoy it?"You can come in, Jenna," I announce.The door bursts open, and Jen
LauraI am falling.I don't know for how long, but it feels like an eternity.Not this shit again.Why do I keep being thrown from one place to another?Was following the humanoid rabbit thing into this dark hole the biggest mistake I had ever made?I hope not, but I'm not confident. Alice did the same thing in Wonderland and had a good ole time, didn't she?"Are you having fun yet?"I hear a tiny voice, and it takes me a while to realize the rabbit thing is speaking to me. "No! I am going to be sick. Where are you taking me?""I am not taking you anywhere. The tunnel is doing all the work. I am just the guide." The Rabbit giggles and I feel chills down my bone. Something about this doesn't feel right.I suddenly crashland into something soft. It feels cool and pleasant. I am glad because I was scared that I would break my neck at the speed I was falling.I stand up, fix my clothes, and then look down at what I just crashed into.Oh. You've got to be kidding me!It is piles of nasty b
Laura I'm screaming at the top of my lungs. Flying through a dark sky with ominous thunderclouds and claws digging into the skin of my legs. Blood is trickling down my wounds. I'm in tremendous pain. Yet the only thing I can focus on right now is that this is definitely not my world! Where the hell am I?! "Release me, you psycho!" I scream and try to swing myself to hit her. I fail, which makes me more frustrated. "Let me go!" "No, darling, I can't do that... I'm hungry, so very staaaarving, and I want what is inside you!" "You're sick!" The monster woman hisses at me and flies with me through this realm that looks straight out of a nightmare. The skies are purple, and all the trees are black with arm-like branches without any leaves. No green grass. Only mud and half-dried up lakes. "Where the fuck are we?!" I demand. "Where have you brought me?!" The monster woman laughs. "To my home." "Home?" "The nightmare realm." "What is that?" "The place where monster exists."
Laura Dating Caleb, huh? I would have never thought the day would come. When Caleb moved away from our hometown, and I lost him, I thought it was going to be for good. I never expected us to meet each other again. Then he kidnapped me after my drunk dial, and things were difficult... and now? No one will take him away from me, not even Jenna. I won't let her. It has been a week since we had that conversation, and Caleb finally has the time to take me out on an official date."This ought to be good." I stay in my bedroom all day, trying to figure out what to wear tomorrow. It's almost embarrassing how excited I am. My heart thumps against my chest...what if all this is a mistake? No...I shouldn't think like that. Caleb is my mate, and everything will be wonderful. We will have a beautiful child, and he or she will make us very happy. "Would you stop daydreaming so much and pick an outfit already?" Celina says irritably. "I'm waiting over here."I look at her and gasp as I prett
CelinaI wish the water in the lake was lying to me, but sadly that isn't the case. Those circles underneath my eyes are real.The dry lips. Haunted expression.I shudder.The human version of me is ugly, yet I can't stop staring down at my reflection. It only gets worse the more I look.My eyes are puffy and wide, and the face that used to be perfect as a fairy is now pimply and flawed.There are no more long eyelashes framing my eyes.No more long ears. No more natural glow and beauty. I sigh heavily at my bad luck. How come my mate is so much better-looking than I am?Ryan is gorgeous, younger than me, and popular with the werewolf ladies. Why would he ever pick me? It was humiliating to face him!My lips quiver and I jump in startlement when a twig breaks."So it's here that you've been hiding from me?"I look up to the sound of Ryan's voice and find him smiling at me. Those arms of his are crossed over his beefy chest. His sandy hair is messy, shorter on the sides, and fluff
CelinaI'm at the supernatural market together with Ryan. A barrier keeps the supernatural market out of the human eye to keep everyone safe and happy. Which is a huge relief.There are vendors everywhere on the field outside of the mansion. Different races and species. There are so many people, and they are all selling stuff from their worlds!"Shape-shifting necklace, huh?" Ryan muses and beams at me. "You okay up there?""Yes..." I blush from where I'm sitting on his shoulder. I'm still a bit unused to the intimacy I have with him.We didn't sleep in the same bed, even though I fell asleep next to him during the horror movie. I woke up in his bed alone. But one thing is for sure; he is suspiciously sweet to me. I'm afraid of liking it too much."Oh, look!" Ryan stops by a table with many accessories, gemstones, and necklaces on display. Everything looks expensive. "We might find what you are looking for here!"An old, round witch wearing a purple dress smiles at us. "And what ar
Celina I'm a bundle of nerves. Ryan is showering while I'm sitting on his bed. A large TV is playing in the background, but I'm taking in his room to try and get to know my mate better. He seems orderly. A bit childish, but that's okay. Perhaps even a bit nerdy even though he is wickedly handsome, which is a pleasant surprise. I love people who aren't afraid to be themselves, and Ryan's room tells a lot about him. Everything is neatly organized, but you can tell he has a young heart based on his collection of personal things. Comic books, Pokémon figures, stuffed animals, and pokals from winning swimming competitions line up his shelf. His walls are grey, but his furniture is expensive, and weight sets are everywhere. It doesn't surprise me since Ryan's body is ridiculous. But he also has a computer with multiple screens and stuff; it seems he enjoys playing video games. "Seeing anything you like?" My eyes drift to Ryan's voice, and my IQ drops to the floor. Because now I
