SOREN

The little control I had snapped, and I was unable to stop the fist from coming down on Koa when Amira stepped in front of my fist at the last minute.

My fist stopped an inch from her face and my heart clenched painfully in my chest, even though I didn’t hit her.

Not once had my body ever allowed me to lay a hand on Amira. It was the reason she was the only one who was allowed to come close to me when I got like this.

My body recognized her, even in its mad rage. Her presence held the almost impossible ability to stop me when I couldn’t stop myself. It didn’t matter how angry I got; my body always recognized her.

The torment followed, drawing me out of the red haze as realization set in. My wolf clawed at the back of my mind painfully. He was in such great turmoil that we were so close to hurting our…

I flinched back in horror.

Our what? I wanted to ask but it would be futile because I haven’t shifted yet so I couldn’t speak directly to my wolf, but I had always felt him at the back of my mind.

My wolf. More like a curse. He was the reason I got out of hand with every little combat.

Aggression, anger and competition fueled the bastard and the only reason I was able to control him sometimes was because I wasn’t fully shifted yet, but I worried about what would happen when I did and he would be able to take control over my body.

The amount of rage and anger my wolf possessed scared me. My parents had done everything they could to help me control it, but it was as though every solution only made him worse.

I hated how he controlled my emotions, even when I wasn’t fully turned.

My chest heaved up and down harshly as I tried to control my breathing and escape the familiar red haze. I could feel my eyes burn, telling me they were still the bloody red colour that belonged to my wolf.

"Disperse!” Rune yelled and the pack members left as quickly as they could. They knew better than to hang around when an order was given.

Amira panted softly but she kept her eyes on me as the hall emptied until we were alone with our friends.

Her soft black hair strands fell over her face, and I felt a strong urge to reach out and brush them away. Amira had auburn highlights in her hair, something that I had never seen before and I loved that her highlights colour was the same as my eyes, almost as though she were…

“Breath, Soren” she commanded softly.

My hands shook but they didn’t unclench or drop from her face so she wrapped her small hands around my large ones and pushed my hand down so I could see her clearly.

Blue orbs that reminded me of the sea after a heavy downpour stared back at me. The calm after a storm. That was who she was to me.

I felt my burning eyes cool down, alternating between red and green. Amira’s eyes furrowed as she watched me. She hated it when my eyes turned red but not as much as I hated them.

"Come on, breathe for me," she urged again, and I could feel my wolf purr in delight as her soothing tone washed over me, drowning the anger immediately.

The red finally faded away and she became clearer. Amira sighed in relief and gave me a smile that made my heart skip against my will. “That’s better. Are you okay?”

I looked around the hall and my gaze fell on Ruelle as she fussed over a grumbling Koa. There was no hiding the guilt in my eyes and my body tensed. I couldn’t believe I almost hurt my friend again.

"Hey," Amira called softly to get my attention and I turned to her because it was impossible to resist her. She had an understanding look on her face as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

“Koa is fine. You didn't hurt him." She tried to assure me because she could always tell what I was thinking.

It didn’t matter how hard I tried to block her out of my head, Amira always knew what I was thinking. It was almost as though we were one sometimes.

If mates hadn’t been out of existence for the past three hundred years now, I would solidly believe that she was my fated mate but that wasn’t the case. No matter how I tried, I just couldn’t find the reason for this bond we shared.

Destined mates no longer existed after the moon goddess almost wiped out the entire werewolf race over three centuries ago because of the greed and the ugliness that became a part of our ancestors.

She forgave us after countless rituals but took away the joy of finding your other half as a punishment and cruel reminder of what our ancestors did. Now, wolves chose their mates for themselves.

“Soren” Amira whispered, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“I’m here with you” I responded with a crooked smile, which she returned.

I usually had blackouts when my wolf’s rage took over and I can’t remember what happened during that time. I couldn’t help but look at Koa again, but Amira caught my face and turned it again until I stared into an abyss of blue.

“Koa is fine,” she said again, her tone harder and I nodded absentmindedly as I got lost in her eyes, but the feeling did not last as I remembered how she ran into my fist.

My body burned with not only guilt but fear and anger. Before I could control myself, my hand gripped her around her arm.

"What were you thinking while running into my fist, Amira? What if I had hurt you?" I growled and felt my eyes tingle with that familiar feeling before my eyes turned red.

"You are hurting me now." she moaned, and my eyes followed her gaze until they landed on my fingers wrapped tightly around her arm where a bruise was forming on her pale skin.

I jerked back in horror, taking my hands off her like her skin burnt me. Disgust filled my core at what I had just done.

I stepped back as my hand made its wave through my hair and I could feel my wolf clawing against my mind’s defence.

He wanted to get out and check if she was fine, but he couldn’t because that border was still closed and would remain closed until I shifted.

I didn’t understand the feelings that coursed through my body whenever she was involved. I didn’t feel the same towards the others in the pack. Why was she the only one?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just worried. You can't keep jumping in between my blows like that, Ami. One day I'm not going to be able to hold back," I snapped.

"I trust you with my life, Soren. You are my best friend, and I know you'll never hurt me." She insisted and I growled in frustration.

She never made it easy for me when she said things like that “You shouldn’t. One day, I won’t be able to hold my wolf back” I hissed.

I turned my back on her so I could walk away, but her fingers wrapped around my hand, stopping me. “Soren, you can’t be mad at me every time I try to stop you when you are losing control. We both know that I am the only one who can stop you. Your body would never let you hurt me.”

If only she knew how much I hated it. I hated that she had to risk her life for the rest of our lives to stop me whenever I got out of control.

I haven’t shifted yet, but my wolf was already ridiculously strong, and it was hard to control him. It scared me to think about what would happen when I finally shifted. Would Amira still be able to control my rage like she did today?

"I don't want to ever hurt you, Ami. It would kill me if I did." There was so much sorrow and worry in my voice as I spoke. I can tell it affected her because I could see her heart break as she watched me.

"You won't hurt me. Ever" she declared confidently and stubbornly.

I opened my arms, and she stepped into them immediately. My wolf calmed down and purred in contentment as I wrapped my arms around her. She fitted perfectly in my arms like she was made just for me.

The familiar buzz I always felt whenever we touched travelled down my spine and she sighed as she relaxed in my arms.

I wonder if she felt the same way or if this buzz I felt whenever we touched was just me making things up in my head.

I pressed a kiss on her forehead before I stepped back “Thank you.”

“Alpha Soren!!!” Someone yelled and we turned to see Nevan, a teen wolf like us, racing towards us with panic in his eyes.

“There are rogues sighting at the pack borders." He yelled again and came to a stop in front of us.

“They snatched a pup too,” he quickly added when he caught his breath.

“Shit” I cussed before I took off with my friends behind me.

    AMIRAI made sure to keep my eyes on Soren and my distance close as we ran to the border.Nevan, the wolf who had informed us about the attack, ran by me, panting loudly as he tried to keep up with us.“How did they get the child?” I asked Nevan.“He was playing along the borders."“Oh, for goddess’s sake,” Rune growled under his breath. “We tell the mothers to always educate their pups on going close to the borders, and Luna Leonora warns them daily as well.”“The mothers? Talk about the fuckers who are supposed to be on patrol today. How come they didn’t notice a child at the borders?” Koa grumbled and took off faster than us, so he could catch up with Soren instead.“I know it’s getting close to their retirement since Koa and his new team will be taking over soon, but even this is too much. They've been slacking these days, and Alpha Alistair is going to have their necks,” Ruelle groaned from my right side.“They took only the pup?” I asked Nevan to be sure, and he nodded frantical

    AMIRAThe tracers were much faster than us since they were shifted wolves, but we had no problem keeping up because of the intense training we had to go through every day.We ran further away from our pack borders, and it worried me because I had never been out of the pack lands before and certainly not this far but I had no time to dwell on my little worries.The tracers followed the invisible trail that must have been left behind by the pup as we went deeper into the woods.The tracers came to a sudden halt and began to sniff the air. I tried to copy them, but I couldn’t detect any scent which meant the rogues were masking their scents, but it wasn’t going to be an issue for the tracers.Soren placed his fingers on his lips, and we shut our mouths tight to stop our panting so the tracers could listen for any heartbeat or sound.We bent down to hide among the trees and grasses while we observed the surroundings to see if we could find anything.If the Tracers had stopped, it meant th

    SORENWe arrived at the pack borders to see Lucas had been reunited with his mother. Satisfaction bloomed in my chest at the job well done. It gave me confidence that maybe somehow, I could manage to be a good leader when I took over from my father.I’m well aware of my problems, especially with my wolf and it had become a major concern of mine because I feared that I wouldn’t be a good leader, or I may end up hurting my pack members accidentally if I lost control.“Well done” One of the elders of the pack, Malachi greeted with pride as we entered the borders of our pack.The tension that had built up in my body when I left the pack territory fizzled out as the familiar air of home hit me. It would never be an easy feeling to get out of your pack borders, but we would get used to it with time.“You got Lucas back without a single injury to the child and yourselves. And also, in a short amount of time. I am very proud of you” My father praised, clasping my shoulders. It was one of the

    “What the fuck, Amii. Did you bathe in the rogue’s blood to show your victory or what?” Ruelle exclaimed when I crossed the border mark and met her and Dad waiting for me.“Haha,” I laughed sarcastically with a roll of my eyes. “Where is Lucas?” I asked, my eyes scanning the little crowd searching for the boy.“Over there with his mother” Ruelle pointed at the same time my eyes found them. A smile bloomed on my face when I saw Casia with Lucas in her arms in a tight hug and tears streaming down her face.“Thanks be to the goddess” I muttered “I’m so glad we were able to complete our first real task. I always had little doubts that Elris simulations wouldn’t help in the real world, but I was wrong. It was as though I was in Sparta the entire time”“But did you have to be so bloody? I knew you were a bloody fighter in simulation, but you carried the same energy to the real world” She eyed me with disgust, repeating Rune’s words from earlier.“To hell with you,” I told her with a light c

    SORENI dropped the towel I used to clean my hair in the laundry basket and made my way to the balcony. It had been hours since I watched Amii stormed off, walking past me and Ivannah without sparing a glance in my direction.I saw a little glimpse of her expression and I had not been able to get it out of my head. I didn’t know if I was exaggerating by assuming it was because she saw me with Ivannah. She always had an expression like I betrayed her anytime she saw me with her sister.Koa entered my bedroom and paused when he saw the worried expression on my face. “What’s up with that look on your face?” he asked, coming to sit beside me in the balcony.I eyed Koa, contemplating whether I should tell him what’s on my mind. Koa had always been the mature one among my friends. He always listened and never judged.“What do you think about mates?” I asked with an apprehensive tone.I watched as his expression changed to surprise and I didn’t blame him. Mates was not a topic we discussed

    AMIRA“Just one more” I urged as I pulled out my history note to complete the last assignment that was due in three days. I always liked to get them done before the deadline because it ensured I did them to the best of my ability instead of doing them at thelast minute and ending up with a B or C like Ruelle.My bedroom door opened without any prior knock and before I could smell the person, I knew it was Ivannah. I braced myself forwhatever it was she had to complain about this time because that was all she ever did when we were in a space together.“What do you want? I’m busy” I told her without lifting my head from my book as I pretended to do my assignment.Ivannah said nothing as she came to stand beside my table. Instead, she slammed her phone on my book where a video was playing. “What the fuck, Amira?” she yelled, and I winced at how loud

At least, it would be easier to stop myself from doing something Ami wouldn’t approve of.“Behave Soren” Mom warned through our private mind link as I approached them. They were both seated on the table in the middle of the room.I observed my father with a glare similar to the one on his face and knew there was no way this was going to be a peaceful conversation.“Tell your husband to behave as well” I huffed in the mind link as I took a seat in front of them.Mom rolled her eyes “Watch your answers.

She kept calling to get my attention anytime she saw me staring at the door but I couldn’t help myself.“Give it up, Ami. I doubt he’s coming” Ruelle told me with a small voice in the mind link and my head snapped to the back to meet her looking at me with a knowing gaze.“Did something happen that I’m not aware of? I can’t even reach him through the mind link” I opened up the mind link a little bit more so Koa and Rune could talk as well.Soren had disappeared since yesterday. I didn’t think much about it yesterday when he didn’t come for our usual evening runs but he hasn’t attended any of his classes today and we shared all our classes so I know he was skipping all.“The Alpha c

    SORENThe room was suffocating and I wanted to get out. It was too much. The lies, betrayals and secrets that had all been laid bare for me felt like a fog that was blinding me and pulling me under. I looked at my father who stood unrepentant in the middle of the room and I still couldn’t believe what I had just heard. “You experimented on me” I said, this time my voice was calm but it was a huge contrast to how I felt on the inside. It was as though I was finally digesting everything that had been said. My father knew what I was. He knew I had a mate he tried to kill and just like Ami said, he tried to play God. “Why did you do it? To fight Curtis? Is that why you decided to do this?” I asked “Did you do it? Was that why you stopped being a scientist?” Noah had a weary expression but I couldn’t care less about the guilt on his face. All I wanted was answers and not the regret they didn’t have until they got caught. “Yes” He confessed “I was the head scientist of the operation

    AMIRA I had not spoken a word to Dad from when we left the house until we arrived in front of Soren’s office. It was hard to ignore the whispers and fingers pointed at me as I walked to the pack house. It was the first time I had shown my face in public since I had returned, so the members were shocked to see that the rumours were true. Ruelle and Koa didn’t follow us to the office. We separated at the entrance and I pleaded with Ruelle to go back to my house so she would keep an eye on the twins while I thrashed this matter once and for all. “Ami” Dad called with a quiet tone but I was not ready to look at him. He would have to explain everything here. I knocked twice and pushed the door open. The air inside Soren’s office was thick with tension the moment we stepped inside. My eyes found Soren immediately and my chest tightened when I saw the anger and shock on his face. I wondered what happened before we got here. His shoulders were tense as though he was preparing for

    AMIRA I stood by the edge of the bed and watched as Meridia worked quickly. Her old but experienced hands moved with ease and care as she tilted Ezra's head slightly and brought the vial to his lips while chanting softly. I held my breath as I watched every drop of liquid from the vial disappear into my baby’s mouth while I prayed silently that it worked. Dad placed a reassuring grip on my shoulder but I couldn’t take my eyes off Meridia. I was biting my tongue so I wouldn’t start to question Meridia and the effectiveness of the vial for the nth time. She said I needed to trust her and that was what I was trying to do. “It’s done” Meridia announced after placing Elias back on the bed and adjusting the covers over his little body. She stood up and faced Dad and I “The potion should kill off all the venom and the body will purge it out” My throat tightened “So he’s...” “He is going to be fine now, child. You have nothing to fear anymore” She assured me “His body will expel the

    SOREN I stormed into my office, ready to slam the door and let out a growl that measured the intensity of my rage, but paused when I saw my parents waiting for me in the office. I was ready to kick them out, especially my father because I was not in the mood to deal with any of his bullshit today. “Look, whatever you have to say, keep it till later. I am not in the mood…” “Is it true?” Mum interrupted before I could finish my demand for them to leave. “Is what true?” I could see through the cracks of her false composure that she was worried. With the way she kept glancing at my father, I knew this would turn out like our other discussions, where he had never been able to control himself. “That Amira is back and with children?” I sighed tiredly. I had not bothered to tell them Amira was back or with my kids because I had been busy with Elias. “Yes” My dad shot to his feet, appearing in front of me in the blink of an eye. “And those children? Are they yours?” I clenched

    AMIRA “Talk?” Dad asked with a confused expression “About what?” I felt a tiny tug at the helm of my shirt before I could answer and I looked down to see Elias with wide teary eyes staring up at me. “Eli?” I bent down so I was at eye level and wiped his cheeks “Why are you crying, baby?” “Why did Daddy leave? Is he angry with me?” His trembling voice broke my heart and I pulled him into a tight hug. “No, baby” I peppered multiple on both sides of his face “Daddy isn’t mad at you” “Then why did he leave? I want to go with him” Fresh waves of tears appeared again. My heart clenched painfully in my chest. There was no doubt that Ezra had gotten attached to Soren. I wanted to be happy that Elias found it so easy to bond with Soren just barely two days after they met but at the same time, it hurt me that he would not be able to spend much time with his father since I planned to leave the pack when Ezra had recovered. “Did you spend all the time when I was gone with your fa

    AMIRAI stepped out of the portal into the house. Thankfully, the portal brought us back to where we had left off.“The house is quiet. Are they at the pack house?” Koa asked as he stepped out after me.“No, they are still here. I smell them. They should be at the back” Koa followed me to the garden.As soon as I stepped through the back door, familiar delighted gasps reached my ears.“Mummy” Elias squealed with wide eyes when he saw me. His small feet pattered across the floor as he raced towards me with his small arms outstretched.I bent down and picked him up as soon as he reached me. I missed him so much. I had never stayed away from them for this long. I peppered kisses all over his face and was rewarded with excited giggles as he tried to push me away playfully.“I missed you, Eli. So so much” I leaned back to study his face.“Me too, but I had so much fun playing with Daddy and Grandpa. Did you bring the medicine for Ezra? Will he be fine now?”Amira softened, brushing his curl

    IVANNAHI stared at the door with a new kind of numbness and hurt. I could feel everything I had ever worked for slip away from my fingers like water; it was terrifying. I lifted my hand to pound the door down. How dare Soren do this to me?I suffered years of humiliation and insults to remain by his side, as the Luna of the pack and he runs to Amira as soon as she returns. What happened to the years of hatred he harboured for that bitch?My hand fell back lifelessly against my sides. There was no use knocking. The result would only be as cold-hearted as the one I had just received, if not more.“Mum will know what to do” I whispered to myself before I turned away from the door.I ignored the sneers and looks of curiosity as my legs hurried me towards my mother. My breaths were uneven and ragged as I picked up the pace, almost in a sprint as my desperation rose.Mom had moved into the pack house after she had a nasty fight with Dad after Amira left. Dad was hell-bent on finding her ba

It was peaceful and calm.I felt warm holding him to my chest and I would stay like this forever if I could. His tiny hand clutched my shirt tightly and I told myself he held me like that because he trusted me and didn’t want me to leave.Noah had something to do in town, so he left me to watch over the kids. Meridia had come over earlier to check on Ezra and make sure that the venom was not spreading fast and left me with a vial to always give him a drop every hour.A knock at the door interrupted my moment with Elias. I took a whiff of the air and my eyes narrowed when I smelt Ivannah. What was she doing here?I took Elias back inside and lay him down beside his brother.

If they thought those malicious looks would ruffle me, then they had another thing coming.Whether they liked it or not, I was Luna and Amira was gone. It was a reality they would have to live whether they liked it or not.“I don’t know how she manages to keep her head high when Soren can’t stand her,” one of the pack members whispered to her friend, who also had a glare on her face as she eyed me.“She is so shameless.
