“What happened to your knee?”
Theo asked after showing up in front of Keira’s doorstep just five minutes after Zane left his best friend’s house to go back to Moon Valley. They were supposed to hang out the same day, but the plan totally slipped off Keira’s mind.
The lady awkwardly smiled and looked at the purple bruises on her foot especially her swelling knee, making her slightly limp.
“Oh, I just tripped on some roots last night.” she carefully explained.
Theo’s brows furrowed, obviously not believing her words. “You… tripped?”
Keira beamed widely. “Yeah! I did some trekking last night to see the full moon. I guess it was a bad idea because some roots caught my foot on my way back and I just stumbled on my own,” she then awkwardly chuckled.
Her words made Theo’s chest heaved even more. Unknown to Keira, he saw Zane coming out from her house earlier and he
“Have you been there?” Zane questioned the other two werewolves.Zeev casually just shrugged while Tyr nonchalantly shook his head at the same time. “The reason why the two packs are coexisting peacefully is we don’t trespass each other’s territory. Packs know if you’re not one of them.” Zeev said.“Then how are we going to search for clues there if no one from Moon Stone can cross over?” The omega anxiously asked.They were all silent for a moment while they thought of possible ways to infiltrate the other pack without getting noticed. After a short while, Tyr spoke.“We have to wait for another day for the effect of the full moon to disappear. Maybe they won’t notice anyone from the outside if our senses aren’t prominent unless we need to use it.”“Right. We don’t have to go to the main camp for now. Who knows? We might get some sample of the s
It seemed like their emotions were telling them exactly what to do. Zane laid flat on his back on the bed with Tyr on top of him on all fours, matching the movement of their lips in the silent rhythm their chests created for them that only them could hear. Lips dancing together in perfect tango, pair of hands locked around Tyr as if he’s going to lose his entire world if he let go, and the overwhelming tingles all over their body just from the brushing of their lips. Zane and Tyr were on an overdrive.On top of it all, their pheromones mixing in the air made the entire room even more under intoxication. It was the first time Zane craved for someone to touch him. Even during his heats, he would just lock himself in his room and wait for it to pass for a couple of days. He wasn’t even curious how a heat felt like when you have someone to satisfy you.Zane and Tyr didn’t notice how long it had been they’re sharing a passionate kiss not until they h
Tyr and Zane couldn’t brush off the smiles on their faces as they walked towards the Alpha Camp. Their positive pheromones being carried by the warm morning breeze made some gammas heads to pay attention to the two werewolves, noticing the good mood from them.“Raven.” Tyr softly called the trainee who was already sweating a lot.With his labored breathing, he replied. “Prince Tyr! Zane.”Zane greeted him with a smile as well before Tyr asked him. “Where’s Zeev?”The gamma looked around upon hearing the royal wolf’s name. “Oh, I don’t think I have seen him here yet. I thought you’ll be together.”Tyr and Zane also searched for their guy but found him nowhere.“Did Marcus already stop by?”“Yes. He was here at dawn. I think I heard him said the council will have an early meeting today.”Tyr’s brows met halfway. “Meet
While on their way to the northeast borders, Tyr thought of talking to his father alone to avoid stressing out his omega about the news. So, after asking Raven to do sparring with Zane while he talks to the pack alpha, the latter also agreed to be left behind. He also didn’t want to add on Tyr’s worry. Doing his training will be more helpful instead.It was almost noon when Tyr reached the place where Alpha Frey, Marcus and the other high-ranking betas were investigating. The betas were scattered across the borders doing something Tyr couldn’t yet figure out. His mind was focused on talking to his father about one of their plans about the gammas.Marcus was telling something to the pack alpha when his eyes caught the wolf prince approaching. Tyr then noticed how the council leader’s voice tuned out in his ear as he was trying to listen to their conversation while closing the distance.“Tyr,” Marcus announced his presence which
After what happened to her last full moon, Keira spent the following days wrapping the situation and her best friend’s identity around her head. She couldn’t believe it happened or Zane was a werewolf or that creature they only read on books was indeed existing for that matter. But she saw how her best friend turned right before her eyes. She had so many questions in her head and eventually realized how hard it must have been for her best friend to take it all in and accept who he truly was.Zane kept his promise of reaching out to her from time to time and kept her updated on the things he was doing in Moon Stone aside from what he already told her last time – from his training to how he tried to blend in with the pack.Keira wanted to be there for Zane, but she thought this other world where her best friend lives in was way too different from hers, giving her no choice but to just wait when her best friend was ready to introduce her his world of the
“Do you remember about our prints?”Zane’s voice was gentle, but Keira could already feel her chest throbbing.“Your soulmate mark,” the lady sadly smiled and dropped her gaze on her hand Zane was gently squeezing.“I… I don’t want to fully put the responsibility to our marks because I know it’s my own feelings, too.”“You don’t have to go around the bush, Zane. You can just tell me.” Keira looked at him this time, eyes already full of sadness and hurt.This made Zane’s chest heavy than it already was, but he knew he needed to tell it to his best friend.“Tyr and I have mated.”As if someone was holding her heart, the moment Zane revealed the news, the lady felt her heart being clenched so tight. She hoped this was all just a dream; that she’s just seeing this in her head because she missed her best friend so much. But the warmth fro
Another day arrived and before the sun peaks its light upon Moon Valley, the gammas, along with Zeev, Tyr, and Zane were already on the west borders to run together as a small pack. The cool breeze from dawn was hugging them despite the summer season, and it was something the wolves enjoy the most, having only warm temperature in their lifetime.Upon arriving in their meet up area, Zane and the other two werewolves saw topless gammas waiting for them. It wasn’t new to Zane anymore because he would see the trainees every day. It was being practical after all. But he was already worried, not because he felt shy showing his body. Tyr would be whipped at this point whenever he sees Zane’s topless figure. But the new wolf was worried about his turn.“Is everyone already here?” Zeev instantly checked.They heard them respond while others just finished their warmups.“For those who are not aware, we’re going to run half an hou
The touch of first light looked magnificent in the horizon while the pack of wolves enjoyed their morning run up north on the western borders of their territory. This place was Moon Stone’s ‘dead-end’ so there were almost less to no danger present in the boundaries as this ends with the hills and cliffs that connects them in the deep sea. The only way for them to reach the highest peak of the west border is through the fortress.Howl! Zeev suddenly led the howl which was followed by the rest of them including Tyr and Zane. Truly, Zane had never felt so free and somehow alive just by running with the gammas. It was probably from his wolf, but nonetheless, he was happy that his wolf finally found comfort and belongingness after years of being locked inside Zane.After an hour of running, the pack reached the top of the hills and decided to take a break. The sun is now visible at the sky, lighting up the incredible view of the sea out th
Tyr twitched his eyes from the warmth of the sunlight bathing his entire room. He grunted away his drowsiness and stared at the window for a few minutes, feeling nostalgic and melancholic from the memories of him and Zeev he just saw. It seemed like a dream, but Tyr just knew they were his memories with his cousins. Before he dwelled on too much from it, Tyr detached himself from the comfort of his sheets to start his day. As planned, he took his breakfast in his parents’ house and while they weren’t still in their best terms, Alpha Frey and Tyr remained the same except it quite not sometimes – especially whenever the pack alpha reminds him about the succession. “Are you ready for tonight?” the luna asked in the middle of their meal with her soft voice. “Hmm… How about you?” Tyr replied while munching his food. “I’m excited! We are excited.” Morrigan looked her mate from her other side who just subtly nodded. “You… don’t have to come if you don’t want to.” the prince cleared his t
“I’ve seen the mark last night.” “Me too. It’s my first time seeing a half mark.” “It’s amazing but kind of scary at the same time.” “No wonder he never takes off his shirt during trainings.” It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours since his first shift happened, yet Tyr had become the talk of the pack after seeing his half mark for the first time. It was finally his thirteenth birthday, and royal marked wolves normally went through their first shift once they reach the age of thirteen. It was a day Tyr looked forward to and had a lot of worries at the same time because he’d be flaunting his half print to the entire pack for the first time. “Hey, go back to Alpha Camp. Marcus is waiting for everyone.” Tyr heard Zeev’s voice, making the gammas scattered and walked away. A subtle smile plastered on his face and felt Zeev’s hand over his shoulder – a very familiar habit from his only cousin. “Hey there young wolf.” “Hi, Zeev.” Tyr casually greeted back while the older guy beamed at
Zane’s wolf automatically bowed as well, acknowledging the presence of the Moon Stone alpha king. Tyr remained on his stand, waiting for his father to stop in front of him. “We heard your calling.” Alpha Frey communicated in their wolf bond. The betas started capturing the rogues while their highest-ranking wolves assessed their own matter. “I never meant to call the pack.” It seemed that the moon energy from Tyr hasn’t subsided just yet as his response almost came off upset. “Hand him over. He shall be punished.” Zane panicked after hearing the pack alpha and immediately stood tall on all fours and covered Zeev’s injured wolf from the sight of King Frey. “Please don’t kill him.” The pack alpha turned to Zane’s wolf. “The council will decide whether to kill him or not.” “No.” Tyr interrupted. “I get to decide whether to kill him or not. He’s my royal subject. I get to punish him.” King Frey’s wolf straightened on its back, almost dominating the wolf prince with his size. “I
‘Zane!’ Tyr almost screamed in their link to snap Zane out from Zeev’s mark. But his mate continued to charge at him, eyes losing their focus.The rogues surrounded them at Zeev’s command, watching the royal princes fought. Zeev had a victorious and mocking smirk on his face while enjoying his cousin’s situation. Killing Tyr wouldn’t be that exhilarating to Zeev if it wasn’t for Zane. Everything he planned out gradually came into play in front of his very eyes. He internally praised himself for doing an excellent job in conflicting pain and torture Tyr using Zane.Snarl!Zane’s wolf snarled at Tyr and started attacking him again. All Tyr could do was avoid Zane as much as he could, not wanting to hurt his mate.‘Zane! Please! Fight it!’ Tyr pleaded in their link.Even the rogues were enjoying the fight happening between Tyr an
Zeev saw the frustration and anger in Tyr’s eyes, his wolf was desperate to come out and devour him. When he saw that slight hesitation to turn, Zeev took the chance to play the situation into his advantage. He knew Tyr will be much stronger in his wolf form than him.“Careful, Tyr. Once you turn, I’ll feed Zane to the rogues.”Hearing this, Tyr’s jaw only clenched harder. The more he moved, the more Zeev penetrated his claws in Zane’s skin. He could feel the invisible tearing of his skin and the same pain Zane was enduring. The blood continued to drip down Zane’s body.Feeling the strong senses and urges inside him, Tyr’s brows furrowed and quickly looked up at the sky. That’s when he realized, it will be a full moon in a few minutes. With a lot going on in his mind, he forgot about the moon cycle for the first time. It must be another reason why Zeev started all this because of the full moon. Newborns are u
When Tyr entered the room, he accidentally caught Theo’s glare at Zane who was busy catching up with Keira. That’s when his nose twitched and noticed the unfamiliar wolf scent mixed in the human scents in the classroom. His steps slowed down while he scrutinized Theo’s side profile, gradually drawing suspicion on their human classmate.‘Zane.’ Tyr called out in their link as he took a seat.‘Yes? Did you receive a message from Zeev?’ Zane replied while listening to Keira.‘Do you smell something strange? Or rather oddly familiar?’ Tyr saw Zane twitched his nose from the side before he heard his response. ‘A wolf scent? In this room?’ Zane looked around their room and figured out who could it be.This gesture prompted Theo as he easily read Zane’s subtle action, but he remained calm and quiet.‘A newborn.’
Feeling the subtle movement on the bed, Zane slightly opened his eyes, still feeling heavy on his body but he could already feel much better than before he slept. He initially thought it was already morning, but the dim light of the room told him otherwise. In his blurry vision, he noticed Tyr tucking himself under the sheet as carefully as he could. He faintly smiled and when he felt Tyr’s figure beside him, he immediately wrapped his arm around his mate which made the latter a bit startled. That’s when Zane felt his necklace around him that made him completely open his eyes.“Did I wake you up? I’m sorry.” Tyr almost said in whisper.Zane held his necklace and looked at Tyr with questioning eyes. “What happened?” he asked after noticing the puffy eyes on Tyr.The wolf prince forced a smile. “Nothing.”“I don’t remember wearing this.” Zane referred to his necklace to which Tyr carefu
Zeev of Moon Stone. Born with a royal mark, son of Morrigan’s late sister, Zeev grew up only in the care of his older brother, Garren of Moon Stone. He was very close to Garren, treating him both as his mother and father. His brother took really good care of him, giving him every form of love and attention he wanted even though he was also a royal subject to Crown Princess Amaris. He was a bit spoiled at least by his brother, and he was happy to have him around. However, the bloody ambush of Crescent Luna against Moon Stone cost his brother’s life. The innocent four-year old Zeev witnessed how his brother died before his very eyes, and Amaris, who was also ripped by a royal wolf of another pack – both of them died protecting the three-month old Tyr. At such a young age, the loss of his brother and only family took a toll on little Zeev. The trauma negatively impacted his innocent mind, shutting everyone around him for years, and not even socializing wi
As if woken from his own trance, Tyr’s eyes jolted upon hearing Zane’s voice. His claws almost tore the rogue’s chest once again, but he just quickly knocked him out and let him drop unconscious to the ground. His head snapped to Zane and wasted no second to go to him. Tyr instantly hugged Zane, he could feel his chest drop at the bloody sight of his mate crouching on the floor.“I’m sorry. I should have gone faster.” his voice trembled from the mixture of fear and rage.“I-It’s okay.” Zane grunted the pain. When he broke the hug, he turned to his side and saw Keira looking so horrified and shocked about what just happened.“K-Keira…” when he was about to reach out for her, she shrunk on her shoulders and started shaking again.“They’re gone now. It’s okay.” Tyr assured her and was about to approach her, but she faintly yelped, afraid of hi
