Emily’s POV He looked so pathetic in that chair. Jacob—once towering, once terrifying, once the name whispered with reverence throughout the lands—now hunched over a desk like a frightened scribe. His hand trembled as he dipped the quill into ink, smearing black across the edge of the parchment. Sweat beaded on his forehead, lips pressed tight in pain. The poison had settled into his bones by now. It wouldn’t kill him quickly. That would’ve been too kind. I leaned against the cold stone wall, arms folded, and said nothing as he scrawled the final sentence. “…and with this letter, I hereby declare Emily Aldane as the rightful Alpha of Galahad Pack, worthy of your allegiance, worthy of your fear.” He paused. Then, begrudgingly, signed his name. Jacob. I stepped forward slowly, the sound of my boots echoing through the silent chamber. The guard at the door stiffened at my presence. “Send them,” I ordered. “Now.” The guard took the sealed letters with a nod and hurried off into
“I'll help you find proof.” Karina said, interupting my thoughts.“Huh?” I turned to face her.“Why? Didn't you say..”“I said I had no intentions of being friends with you after the problem is solved but we can still work together for now. You'll need all the help you can get.”She was right.“So.. can you bring me my phone from my mother's cabin, I need to contact my husband and makes sure he knows I'm safe—”“—Blah blah blah,” Karina said. “I won't be helping you do that because we're not close!”I knew but I still wanted to give a shot. I didn't want Armin to worry about me or rush down and create a scene but I also knew better than to try and urge Karina.She was a straight forward person, there was no changing her mind.“So what do I do now?” I wasn't sure.My approach to solving issues was barging into the situation and pulling it by the horn but I knew I had to craft out a strong plan and be pragmatic like Armin in his approach.“I'd tell you to go immediately to the building
Second day after the blood full moon**When I opened my eyes, I was in a cave and it felt warm and cozy.Before I fell unconscious I was on the mountain, cold and half dead.I immediately stood up from the mat I was laying on and heard a voice behind me say. “Don't move!”I turned around and was beyond shocked to see Karina. We stopped talking about two years ago. It was beyond shocking that she saved me.“You saved me?” I voiced, very grateful that I didn't die. Armin would be so pissed if I died so pathetically.“Yes, it's not like you'd die due to a fall anyways. Look at you, you're perfectly fine now.”I swung my arms and moved my feet. They felt great but a bit heavy.Werewolves had the great ability to heal quickly. Of course, I was no exception.I looked at my ring finger, the one Firdaus twisted. It kinda hurt.I moved it back to it's proper place and it made a crack sound.Karina winced and looked at me irritatedly, “Does that not hurt?”I looked at her briefly, “It does.”Ka
I immediately opened my eyes and soon realized it wasn't a mistake when I saw a pair of red eyes glaring down at me.My heart thumped in my chest.She'd found me.Fidaurs was here.“Sister,” I said, feeling goosebumps engulf my skin as I looked into her wild eyes that glowed bright red, the exact red of the moon.For four years, she'd locked herself on the first floor of the mansion, indulging herself in paperwork and never showing her face to me or anyone else.This was not without a reason.Four years ago, she realized Felix was her mate but he rejected her for me since then, she never showed her face.We were only a few that knew about this issue so we easily brushed it under the carpet. But two years ago, I killed Felix. She didn't show her face then either but I knew she'd be hurt.But she said a word to my father once. When she came out of the little cage she'd created around herself, she'd either move on from the past or take revenge.Judging from the rage in her eyes I knew sh
“Where are you my children?” Mother asked so sweetly. She took everyone as her children and many wished she were their real nother while others resented me for it.The kids came out their hiding place behind the tall pillars and Mother laughed so brightly as though she didn't sense their presence before.She was so pure and wholesome.“Mother we've put senior's luggages inside.”“Oh! That's just perfect, thank you my babies.”“Mother will you read us a story tonight?”“No. Today I'd like to spend time with my daughter, Jasmine.”I smiled back at her.“Very well then, we'll come back tomorrow.”“You're always welcome to White cottage.”The kids ran off, leaving me with my mother.“White cottage?” I asked. It sounded cheesy.“It's the name I gave my little abound. The name has been existing for years, everyone knows about it.”Except me.“Oh,” I said. “Let me prepare water for your bath.”“Okay,” I didn't reject her anymore.She entered a corner of the house while I waited outside, enj
“Where's my father?” I asked as Jasper dragged my luggages behind him lazily.“Hunting. Don't you remember what today is? If not for today's ceremony, many of our pack members would come out to greet you.”Right. April twenty two. By midnight, a new moon would emerge.The blood moon. The moon at the time would enhance our innate abilities, it was also the times wolves tended to lose control of themselves.Finding your mate by this time could be thrilling and some girls fantasised about it because of the sex. I shook my head at it. The teenager read too many werewolves fanfiction these days it was messing up with their brains.Rough sex wasn't healthy and shouldn't be glorified.Look who's talking. I heard my wolf criticize.I looked at the huge mansion in front of me, where I used to live.I sniffed the air then walked past it. Surprised, Jasper followed after me yelling, “Aren't you going to your house? This is the perfect time to settle in so you don't deal with questions..”I tur
