SOREN
“Let’s meet up later” Koa said just as we reached my parent’s wing of the pack house.
“Sure” I replied and waited for him to walk away before making my way to my parent’s chamber.
I felt a sense of relief when I saw my mother waiting along with my dad. 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. For Am
AMIRAI kept looking at the door the entire time the lecture went on and I could tell the teacher was frustrated with me already. 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
SORENMy birthday is coming closer with just five days until I transform into a wolf that would decide my future.Just like you guessed, it had placed me on edge. There was no settling down or calming my nerves and my emotions were all over the place.Just like this very moment where my eyes kept trailing Amira as she moved across the field, interacting with our fellow teen wolves as they played a game of football.Football with teen wolves was the same as the ones played by humans except ours is a little more violent. A human would definitely end up in a coma if they attempted to play with us and let’s not forget that some of the rules of the humans don’t apply here.“You are staring again” Koa commented. He had opted out of the game as well like I did, claiming he didn’t feel like playing but we both knew it was just an excuse to say the full moon
AMIRA I was taking my daily night run around the pack alone. I usually did it with Soren but he had not been joining me lately. Infact, he had not been joining any pack activities and I wanted to question him about it but at the same time, I wanted to wait till he decided to tell me what was on his mind by himself. Twenty minutes into my run, I was surprised when Soren joined me. “Surprise” he said cheekily when I stopped running to look at him with surprise. “I thought you wouldn’t be joining me” I said with a huff before I continued to run and he joined me. “I know I’ve been a little busy these days” “Try that again” I scoffed, calling out his bluff immediately. We both knew he hadn’t been busy but he had been actively trying to avoid me and everyone else that wanted to ask him what he had been going through. “Fine. I was avoiding everyone but it was because I wasn’t ready to talk” he confessed. “And you are now?” I asked, coming to another stop and staring at him with a ho
SORENIt was pretty late by the time Amira and I made our way back to the pack. It was very quiet now as most of the pack members had retired for the night.“We spent a lot of time up there” Amira commented with a small chuckle as we approached the pack house.We hadn’t passed any pack members that wasn’t on the patrol team yet. I knew my mother would be worrying and sure that Noah was pacing since Amira was still outside.We hadn’t intended to stay out this late but we had gotten caught up in talking about childhood memories that we lost track of time.It wasn’t until we overheard the border patrol switching shifts that we realized how late it was.“I know right?” I said with a smile of my own “Noah must be pacing. Has he tried to contact you? My mom has been trying to reach me through the mind link. I left my phone at home too” I said with a snicker as I could feel my mom probing at the wall, I had put up in my mind link.“I’m leaving” Amira said with a dark tone. I turned to her to
AMIRAI had lost count of how many times I had sighed in the last ten minutes. It was time to water Dad’s plants, a task that shouldn’t take me more than a few minutes, but I’d been crouched in the middle of the small garden for almost an hour, unable to do anything.“What is wrong with me?” I muttered angrily as I plopped onto the floor instead of standing up and getting some work done.It wasn’t as though I had no idea of what was wrong with me. I knew but I hated that it was such an issue that wasn’t letting me get any work done.I couldn’t get the image of Ivannah and Soren hugging out of my head. I was so jealous even when I knew I had no right to be but I couldn’t help it.I promised myself that I wouldn’t turn back after I walked away last night, but I couldn’t stop myself from turning back at the last minut
AMIRAI locked myself in my room and buried my head in my books. I decided to study so I could take my mind off everything that’s been bothering me lately.There was a knock on the door, breaking my concentration and I looked up from the pages of my book for the first time in over an hour.“Come in” I called and twisted in my seat so I was facing the door which allowed me to see who was coming in more easily.Koi entered with a cheeky grin on his face and I knew he was up to no good.“I’m not going to be one of your victims today. I have to study” I groaned playfully, eyeing the hand that was hidden behind his back.“I promise I’m not here to pull tricks” he chuckled, glancing towards the opened books on my table. “Studying?”“Yes” I whined, before closing the opened book, knowing that there was no way I was going to get any more work done with Koa here. “I had nothing else to do”“Ami, I’m sure you are the only one in the entire pack who studies when they are bored” he chuckled, taki
SORENI finished training and decided to go in search of Amira. We were supposed to train together but the instructor had insisted that we trained without her to work on my self-control without her present.I wasn’t happy with the idea, but I also wanted to test my limits, so I agreed, and it turned out to be better than I had expected. I thought I would have been easily angered by the teacher and lash out, but he had been really patient with me, and we went through the entire training without any issues.Their apartment looked empty when I arrived, so I decided to go inside the house without knocking just in case Ami had buried herself in her books and music. She was addicted to music and couldn’t almost not study without them.I had no idea how she managed because goddess knows I’ll close my book and focus on the music instead if it was me.My face contorted into a frown when I opened her bedroom door, and the room was empty.“Soren?” I turned to see Noah with a smile on his face “A
AMIRA“Amira, where are you? You’ve spent over an hour there already” Dad asked through the mind link in a worried tone.“The queue is very long, dad but it’s almost my turn. I’ll be on my way home soon” I told him with a tired voice.Dad asked me to go to the major store inside town to get him some things but today was Saturday so almost every family was doing their shopping to stock their houses since the shop wasn’t open on Sundays.I couldn’t remember the last time I came here on a Sunday so I had forgotten how crowded it got and I wasn’t happy at all because I had been standing for over thirty minutes just to get to the counter so I could pay for my stuff.Mr Azariel needed to get more people working at the counters because there were not enough to hold it during the weekends.“Just hurry back. It’s almost late. You know I don’t want you to walk back here from town when its late”“I know Dad. I promise I’ll be home soon” I assured him, glancing outside the shop at the sky that wa
AMIRAI watched Soren walk out of the house, and his troubled expression made my heart ache, as though it were I who was troubled instead.My body pushed me to go after him against my will, but I fought against those instincts because I had issues of my own that needed to be addressed.I sighed tiredly and took one last look at him just as his figure disappeared before leaving the pack house through the back door and following the trail into the forest.My head was clouded with thoughts as I walked towards the spot where I knew no one would come and I could be alone with my troubles.In my favourite spot, there was a rock directly under the moonlight and I loved to sit there and allow my head to consume me with worries that were enough to send me to an early grave.Ivannah was the next Luna.The announcement of the alpha had finally turned my wistful wishes into what they were.Unattainable, impossible, out of reach. Just mere dreams.But Soren was mine. He was my mate. How could he t
SORENI woke up to the commotion in the pack’s mind link. It was my birthday but the pack was buzzing with so much excitement that you would think something phenomenal was happening.“Soren, are you up, birthday boy?” Rune’s voice got to me and I winced at how loud and hyper he was in the morning. He was the morning person you couldn’t help but hate with how much energy he always had in the morning.“Please leave me alone,” I told him with a lazy roll of my eyes as I remained in bed.“Nope. I can’t do that. You need to come down now or I’ll be forced to come down and get you” he threatened and that was enough to wake me up,Rune’s idea of waking me up would be either to jump on me and scream bloody murder or he would bring Ruelle and she was much worse.“Happy Birthday, Soren”
AMIRAPreparations for Soren’s birthday was in full swing and the whole pack was excited. People were gossiping about how grand Luna wanted it to be because everyone was expecting him to also get his wolf today.It also reminded me that I was still yet to ask if he had the conversation with the alpha concerning him being an elemental but we’ve been so busy that I kept forgetting to ask him about it.I sighed again for what felt like the hundredth time in the last ten minutes. I had no idea what to get Soren for his birthday.He had gotten me something so meaningful and I also wanted to get him something that would mean a lot to him but I couldn’t come up with anything.I eyed the protection necklace dad had gotten me from where it laid on my vanity set “It’s not like I could give him that”After that voice had told me to ta
AMIRAI ran into my room and slammed the door shut behind me. My heart was pounding, and now that I was alone, I could worry about what had happened earlier.The reality of my situation sank in, and panic set in as I worried about the voice, I kept hearing during the party and the overwhelming feeling that engulfed me when I touched Soren.Was the voice real? Was the overwhelming feeling that overtook me at our touch real? I had a million questions and no answer.I knew that what I felt was a mate bond. I’ve studied so much about it in history classes to understand what it felt like theoretically, but this was never supposed to happen. How do I tell anyone about this?“Is anyone listening to me? Are you real?” I asked in my head, wondering if the voice I had heard has somehow belonged to my wolf.She should be the only one who would be able to recognize our mate. I doubt it was another pack member trying to play a prank on me.When I waited for a few minutes and heard nothing in retur
32.I stumbled back from Soren, eyes wide with shock and disbelief as I looked around to see if anyone but playing a prank on us but the confused look on Soren’s face confirmed that he didn’t hear what I heard.Soren touched me and the pull I felt left me gasping for breath. It was stronger than anything I’ve ever felt with him.The feeling was so strong and overwhelming that I was almost brought to tears by how strong it was.Soren looked at me with worry and confusion “Ami, what’s wrong?” he asked, moving closer but I stumbled back away from him before he could touch me.I didn’t think I could manage if he touched me again. I shook my head and held my hand out to stop him “Nothing. I am fine”“But you’ve gone pale” he argued. I took the gift in his hands i
AMIRAToday was my birthday. I woke up feeling both excitement and anticipation as to what would happen. Would I get my wolf? Dad said it was okay if I didn’t get it today because many people didn’t get their wolf on their 18th birthday anymore since mates disappeared, but I wanted to get mine today.The sun was already up, and it was a beautiful golden colour. I believed it would be a beautiful day for me, so I stretched and got out of bed, hoping to get the day started with a big smile.I got out of my room and ran straight to the kitchen where Dad was placing my favourite grilled lamb on the table.“Happy birthday, princess” Dad gave me a kiss on the forehead “I made your favourite food today” he gestured towards the table that was filled with all of my favourite meals.“Thank you, Dad” I hugged him “Where are Ivannah and her mother?” I asked after I took a seat and noticed that they weren’
SOREN“Is that it?” Rune asked with a raised brow as he peered into the chest “The Myre is smaller than I thought it would be” he said, and I agreed.When my father always spoke about the Myre, he made it seem like a very big symbol of authority, but it was a little bit larger than my hand though it weighed more than it looked.“Pick it up so we can leave” Koa spoke, and I reached down and grabbed it.The moment I removed the Myre from the box, the ground underneath us began to shake violently like there was an earthquake.“What’s happening?” Ivannah cried out as she held onto Rune who was closest to her for balance.She had been quiet ever since the incident with Amira and she had not said a word even when I caused that fire even though there was terror on her face, and I was happy she knew that her input
AMIRAThe fire burned fiercely around us, threatening to consume everything in its path. I was frozen in both fear and surprise as I stared at Soren.He was roaring with so much rage, more anger than I had ever seen from him and the fire burned furiously like the anger he felt. It was terrifying.“What is happening?” Rune yelled. His eyes were wide with fear, and Ivannah looked like she was close to death.Koa was surprised but not scared, and it made me wonder if he had ever suspected or known that Soren was an elemental before us.“Ami, do something, or else we are all going to die here” Rune cried, snapping me out of my thoughts as I turned my attention back to Soren.The air was thick with smoke and his body was blood red. It looked painful like streams of flames were on his skin instead of sweating. It was a terrifying sight to se
SORENThe forest seemed endless, and we were growing tired. The fake moonlight was the only thing giving us light and it seemed like we were never going to find the symbol.“How big is this place?” Rune asked, breaking the silence. There was frustration in his voice, and we shared the same feeling. “We have been searching for ages, and we’ve found nothing. Are you sure it’s in here? It feels like we are being punished”Koa nodded in agreement “I can see why the alpha built this in the human world. He would have never been able to hide something this big in our world”“That’s not what I am talking about, who cares about how well hidden this place is” Rune growled and Koa only pursed his lips, amused and kept walking.“Maybe we should yell that we give up and we don’t want to do this anymore. The alpha can just hand the symbol to you when it’s time for you to take
