Chapter Thirty FourSThere was about a five second pause.“Lacan, could you repeat that? I don’t think we heard it clearly.” Algorne recovered first.Yeah, repeat that, Daykan echoed silently.They had all heard what he said; a room full of werewolves with more than average hearing.But you could hear something so unbelievable that you would be convinced your mind was playing tricks on you.“You all heard me. Daykan should be free to go because he hasn’t done anything wrong.” Lacan said firmly.“Excuse me? Hasn’t done anything wrong? We all know what he did! He admitted to it himself! We all heard him! The boy in the hospital is more than enough proof.We all went there and saw the condition he was in. It was horrible!” Licia said adamantly.“Don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t say that he didn’t do anything. I said he didn’t do anything wrong.” Lacan said slowly because he was tired of being asked to repeat his statements or being misinterpreted.“So, attacking another werewolf in such
Chapter Thirty Five“Pop, are you sure we should be out here by this time?” Paul Caddie tried to keep the quiver of fear out of his voice.He mistakenly stepped on a twig and jumped at the unexpected sound of it breaking.His jump caused him to trip and bump into his father, who was a few steps in front of him.Paul stumbled back with an apologetic look on his young face. “I’m sorry Pop.”Simon Caddie turned around and barely managed to keep a lid on his irritation. “For God’s sake Paul! You’re a twenty one year old man and you need to start acting like one. So stop fidgeting like a damn schoolgirl and stay in one place before I accidentally shoot you. You’re annoying the shit out of me!”“I’m sorry Pop. I’m just a little nervous. I was wondering if we should be out here by this time. How about we come back when it’s less creepy?” Paul swallowed nervously. An owl hooted nearby and he barely managed to hold back a squeal of surprise. Any more irritating sounds out of him and his dad
Chapter Thirty SixA beautiful woman who was almost as tall as Daykan came into view.Her bright red hair was just a few inches above her knees. Although most of the time, it was braided, Daykan had always wondered how she managed to take care of it.There was definitely a lot of drying and shampooing involved; not to mention the time and effort it took.She had bright blue eyes and a small nose which sat above full lips. She was curvy with a full chest and an even fuller behind.“Senina what are you doing here?” Daykan groaned and ran a hand through his hair.It seemed like everyone was now drawn to his apartment. In the space of a few hours, he had received more visitors than in the previous month.Senina rushed forward and threw her arms around him. “I’m so glad that you’re safe. I was really worried about the Council’s gathering.” She pulled back and looked up at him.There were unshed tears in her eyes and they made the orbs shine even brighter than usual.“Day, I thought they we
Chapter Thirty SevenDaykan felt lightness in his chest.He didn’t shift his gaze from Naomi as he walked towards her and Louis.He was so happy to see her. He had missed her so much.For a second, he forgot what was going on between them and toyed with the idea of drawing her into his embrace.But he instantly remembered when he reached them and she flashed a small polite smile.It was not the grin or bright smile she had usually greeted him with in the past.“Hi Naomi,” He said softly.“Hi Daykan,” She replied in a similar tone.“Hi boss,” Louis flashed a friendly grin at Daykan.“Louis,” Daykan nodded at him and briefly glanced in his direction.But he immediately swung his gaze back to Naomi.“You haven’t been here in a couple of days.” Daykan said gently. “I’m glad to see that you’re back. I thought that you had moved on because you were finally done with my gym.”Like the way you’re done with me, he finished silently.After Naomi hadn’t shown up for the next three days after the
Chapter Thirty EightNaomi had resolved that she wasn’t going to turn into one of those ladies who became bitter and spiteful because a guy had rejected their advances.She wasn’t going to key his car or pour sand in his engine oil compartment.She was going to be mature about this and show that they could still perfectly interact with each other. It wasn’t the end of the world.She didn’t hate Daykan or wish him bad. She could be cordial to him and maybe they would settle into an easy friendship. Everything would probably be back to normal after she got over her little crush. She really did like his gym and wanted to continue working out there. She was enjoying the exercise thing way more than she had expected.She wasn’t going to stop just because she had developed feelings for her trainer and for some reason, he did not want to admit feeling the same way; and found it easier to just push her away.Although she did understand how it could get awkward if they decided to continue t
Chapter Thirty NineDaykan wanted to tell Naomi that he didn’t want her to have anything sexual to do with Louis because he wanted her all for himself.That she didn’t even need Louis to train her because he would gladly do it and so much more.The words were all formed in his heart. But it was hard for his mouth to get with the program and vocally express his feelings.A part of him this so much. But another part of him was well… scared.He never wanted to be so vulnerable with someone. He had always been surrounded with a majority of people who disliked him.If he ever gave a wrong person the chance to get close to him, then he might not live to even regret the decision.He knew Naomi wasn’t like that.He had always thought that in spite of being the cause of his parents’ deaths and growing up as an outcast; he had managed to turn out pretty well and avoid any long lasting effects.He was a strong guy who didn’t need anyone and didn’t care what people thought about him. But with N
Chapter OneLana had always dreamt of this moment; holding the hand of her soul mate as she struggled to give birth to their child. While other women might not be particularly enthusiastic about the process of giving birth, it was something she had always yearned for. She had always been prepared to embrace the pain because she felt there was no greater joy than being a mother.The contractions that caused her teeth to clench in pain did not seem to hurt so much as she gazed into the eyes of her significant other.“You are doing fine baby, just keep pushing and it will be over soon,” Erek encouraged as he gently squeezed Lana’s hand. He was terrified because Lana was bleeding a lot and he couldn’t imagine losing her. It was fairly common for a she-wolf to die on the birthing bed and with Lana being a human; her chances of survival were less than average.“Just a little further Lana, I can see your baby’s head,” Zera called from between Lana’s open legs. Zera had helped give birth t
Chapter TwoAs Daykan stood with his arms crossed, it occurred to him that he really did enjoy spending time at his gym, it felt more like a home than the place he laid his head to rest each night. Maybe it was because he felt in control and truly at peace here.When he had thought about the kind of business he wanted to set up, a gym had seemed like the most suitable option. He really wasn’t an office guy and couldn’t imagine sitting behind a desk from 9am to 5pm every day. Plus, he really wasn’t a fan of dressing up in a suit and tie; at the gym he could literally be shirtless and it would not be inappropriate. Daykan also enjoyed working out and his body showed off the results from all those times spent lifting weights. He was six foot six inches tall with thick silver hair that was long in front and shorter at the back; he had light hazelnut eyes that always seemed to be sparkling. There was also the fact that his gym body was enough to stop any girl in her tracks as she had a
