Ketra sat quietly with Rain beside her in the back seat. Their silence was to keep their relationship away from anybody and since there was a driver in the front seat, they were extra cautious.The only sound in the car was their thumping heartbeats and their fast breath from the warmth that was created by their slightly brushing hands.It felt too good to be won over by Ketra's friction which was an exchange for her independence and freedom. She was afraid that she was going to ridicule herself when the bond took over her senses because she felt the magnetic feeling that pulled her closer to Rain's proximity.Ketra closed her eyes and balled her other fist to fight the internal force which threatened to take over.She felt the urge to intertwine their fingers while burying her head in his firm chest. She was in the blink of putting her nose right on the nook of his neck to sniff his faint scent if at all it could be sniffed.Still, she couldn't let her stubbornness and willfulness cr
Ketra felt jolts travel through her body upon Rain's touch. Even though she grew up outside her pack, more in a human way of life, she still knew that the spot where one marked her mate was the most sensitive on a werewolf's body.Just like now.She grit her teeth to control the feeling that was getting started since she didn't want to submit to him any time soon.She cleared her throat and spoke to break free from the awkward atmosphere."C-can you please Ummm…." She stammered but Rain got her meaning and took his hand back to himself."I come from the blue moon pack, not far from Chicago. I have been an alpha since I was eighteen and you?" Alpha Rain introduced himself hoping for a smooth response.Ketra couldn't believe her ears at all. She placed her glass down making an audible sound and Rain sensed that she wasn't pleased with all.He clenched his hands in nervousness anticipating her reaction as well as her response."You are an ALPHA?" Ketra asked once again emphasizing his ti
That night, Ketra had successfully evaded the Amber Moon pack. She was sick worried about her mother and the wrath that her father was going to make her face once he realized that Ketra wasn't anywhere near the Amber moon pack anymore. However, she had to gulp her anxiousness to save herself from her vicious father.Since then, it had been seven years now and she never thought of going back there. She always got the news that her mother is still the same Luna who covers her innermost pain to face her people.All in all, she knew that Alphas were the worst creatures in human form and she cursed her fate for being mated to one.As she thought about her past, she continuously grits her teeth and squeezed the glass in her hands which Alpha Rain realized and approached her side to break her from whatever it is."Hey, take it easy. Did I say something wrong?" Alpha Rain asked in a pleading voice as he took the glass away from her.He was surprised when she shot him a death glare screaming
Rain looked up at the ceiling and sighed as he felt his chest tighten but he still spoke. "The same people staged an accident for my parents and they both died. You don't want to think how difficult that is to me." Ketra unconsciously clenched her fists while she heard Rain's side of the story. He had such a bad experience with the people who were supposed to support him and train him. How hungry for power were those stinking bastards? How could they hurt a boy like Rain without minding what he would grow to hold on to them? "But it's okay. I have come to get used to them and am still learning how to handle them politely. I know that they are greedy and can go to the Earth's limits to get power." Rain mumbled with his arms wrapped around Ketra's waist tightly. "I just don't want to be like them." Rain shrugged at it. No matter how much he wanted to prove himself to those old men and women, he still didn't want to stoop as low as fighting with them. His parents handled them polite
Rain woke up, squinting his eyes to find out where he was. He was yet to look around when his favorite scent hit his nostrils and he didn't need to ask as he remembered last night.The first person to take his breath away through a fascinating kiss was gripped tightly in his arms for the entire night and it never felt better, he could swear.The memories of the previous night were definitive in his mind and the precious feel of her lips on his was a picture that could never leave his mind. She was the first person he ever kissed!True, he had bedded countless women for pleasure through the years but he was always nauseated by the thought of his lips on theirs. Even when he had sexual intercourse with them, he preferred doing it from the back as he didn't want any further body contact more than fulfilling his appetites.But now, the tables had turned when he found his mate. Her scent of vanilla-mint was the best thing his nose ever scented and the warmth that their bodies created despi
Ketra hastily got off her bed with trembling feet. She felt like her world would crumble in case he wasn't in her villa anymore. She didn't mind the slippers on the bedside and rushed out with bare feet to the second floor. She checked all the rooms with urgency only to find them empty. She also checked all the bathrooms but there was no one.'Bar. He must be in the bar.' she thought and rushed to the second floor but she was welcomed by an aroma that made her stomach twist in hunger.Was he cooking? She felt a pit in her stomach at the thought of this. If he was cooking then he didn't leave, right?She subconsciously strode to the kitchen with unhurried and quiet steps in case it was Scott. Slowly, she got to the door and her eyes bulged out of her sockets as she watched him, the first man to give her goosebumps, the first man to make her panic, conquer the kitchen as he made breakfast.His messy coffee-brown hair and the heaps of sweat that formed on his forehead made her gulp unkn
Rain's words induced Ketra to halt her actions. With her hand on Rain's chest, unmoving, she met his serious yet pleading eyes.She had accepted him and went as far as getting lost in the mind-shuttering kiss he made her experience for the first time in her life but still, she was skeptical about his sudden invitation.Was she ready to visit his pack, with him, introducing her as his yet-to-be Luna? She was his fated mate but she doubted she wanted to become a Luna as it wasn't a mere title but a heap of responsibilities that required her undivided time.Rain's questioning and hopeful eyes didn't leave hers which made it extremely difficult for her to decide. She didn't know if she had Luna qualities as much as her mother did but she had a pile of questions.What if she couldn't leave the blue moon pack after visiting once? She didn't want to think about this because how could she come to give up the life she had been living ever since she left the Amber moon pack?Even when she had s
Rain was humming with joy as he took his shower in the bathroom of one of the guest rooms, probably where he was supposed to sleep the previous night. A few more steps to shower together, he counted down.His mood was delighted this morning. After the shower, they had to have breakfast which he professionally prepared without slicing his hand or burning the food.After cleaning up, he repeated his clothes, remembering to change once he got to his hotel room where he left his stuff.He headed downstairs and found Ketra already setting the table with her casual clothes on. She wore wide-leg black jeans and a white top with a denim black jacket.He still couldn't figure out how a woman could look this classy with casual clothes on. With her height and slender figure, she belonged to the runway!He had paused as he peeked at her busying herself and admired how neat she was. Everything in her house was neat despite her busy schedule and lack of a house helper."Come on, let's get done here
Ketra took steps back as Brice strolled toward her, her palms sweating continously His eyes were visibly dark and mischievous. She was quivering in anxiety as he chuckled walking toward her.Did he imply that he would kill her mate and then... did he want to kill her and kill himself too. Her heart was in complete fear, and her breath hitched as she met his hazardous eyes."Queen, don't run away from me." He said amidst his crazy chuckles. "Stand there and wait for me." She felt shivers run down her back. Her back eventually hit the wall, leaving no space for her to run to. Her lips trembled. She could see that he wasn't himself. His claws came out and in a blink of an eye, he was on his fours.What she saw as a clean wolf in a devil's body stood before her. He growled loudly causing her to cover her ears with her palms as she screamed.She was in fear. She couldn't die this way. She couldn't die knowing that Rain was out there waiting. With her screams getting loud, she checked aro
Ketra's eyelashes flattered, adjusting to the light of the room she was in. It was dimly lit but with her werewolf sight, she could see clearly. Her head throbbed painfully causing her to close her eyes again.She raised her hand and caught her forehead in her hands, carefully massaging her temples to ease the pain. Suddenly, a wave of memories flushed through her. She is supposed to be sleeping around Rain because he was coming.She checked the side of her bed but he wasn't there and for some reason, it didn't feel like she was in her bed. She quickly sat up ignoring the unbearable pain in her head and checked around. The scent of this room wasn't familiar to her nose.She panicked as clear memories rushed to her mind. The last thing she remembered was her being in the kitchen. She didn't even meet up with Rain after he called. From that moment, her memory was blank. Panic surged through her as she surged to run out of bed and find Rain."Rain." She half screamed as she went to the d
"Stop." A voice emerged bringing everyone to freeze in their positions.Rain tilted his head and his eyes met the last guy he wanted to catch a glimpse of. Alpha George was strolling down the cruise with two young women, each on his side.There was a cocktail glass in his hands and he had on this mocking smile that made Rain's wolf stir. He ascended unhurriedly and once he was down, everyone put their swords back and bowed respectfully apart from the guy whom he had comprehended was the mafia leader earlier."You're quite fast. Looks like I underestimated you." George scoffed, walking close to Rain.Rain immediately rushed to him, unable to contain his anger, and whacked him so hard in his jaw, causing him to stagger until he fell into the guard's arms when he was about to hit the ground.The men clothed in black cloaks pulled out their swords and some guns, in preparations to raid Rain. They began throwing swords at him while he struck back with his hands. He moved fast like a crazy
Samuel reminded Rain continuously to be careful and try to keep his cool once they got to where George was. They had got to a little close place to Resolution Island, they couldn't go further with the jet since they didn't want to hint the enemy about their presence. They were about to shift and run to their next destination. "Can you feel her emotions?" Samuel asked. Rain shook his head. He couldn't feel her emotions, and neither could he smell her. It felt empty within. "I'm sure she is alright. Let's get going now." Without wasting any other single second, they shifted and began leaping and running. Their paws barely touched the ground, and they strived not to growl as they ran fast. Rain ran faster. He was so angry and scared. He hardly felt his emotions. They got to an Island. It was cozy and cool. There were orange rays which turned out to be from the fire. The place was loud and lively which angered Rain and Samuel. George had taken Ketra away and she was somewhere pray
"Alpha." Beta Samuel panted as he approached Rain. "Torture her until she can't recognize herself anymore." Rain immediately pushed Grace away from him. He had him in handcuffs after he didn't even want to feel her skin on his hands. Beta Samuel also threw her at the warriors who had to take her back to the pack dungeon and torture her until she spoke everything she knew. "It's been twenty-six fucking hours Sam, I can't smell her, can't feel her emotions. I'm in pain." Rain showed his helpless side to everyone for the first time in his life. He didn't care if the soldiers considered him weak or not. Beta Samuel understood. He was also angry that the same people kept on playing with their Luna. He vowed to spill their blood with his own hands. He dismissed the warriors out of the room where he found Rain before pulling out the map. "These are the areas that you asked for. I marked the possible locations they might be in. Take a look too." He handed the chart to Rain and they looke
George cringed at the sight of Brice. He never liked this boy because he always got him begging."This time you have done a good job. Indeed, you will be rewarded." Brice tossed a small wooden bottle to George and commanded him to leave immediately.George suppressed a groan of excitement as he left the plane that was about to take off. He had his power back now. The tiny bottle in his hand held everything that earth could give and he was going for it. He took a glance at Ketra who was unconscious on the bed in the private plane and smirked before eventually leaving. She and her mate had played him. They brought every crazy game on him when he was inside here.He gritted his teeth when he thought about Kathy's rejection. He was still in pain because of it. It wasn't like he liked or needed her but she humiliated him. 'You're next, you bitch.' He vowed as he exited the area they were in.The plane was on top of a villa in the isolated estates of the city. Luckily, Brice had connectio
Grace heard a hard slap land on her cheek causing her vision to blur. She held it and could feel the pain reach her brain. This man was cruel. He was violent and would pay for it all once she became his Luna and got head over heels in love with her."I don't take cheap women for a Luna. Be assured that if I find even a scratch on my Luna, I will kill all of you." He grabbed her fabric from the back and then began pulling her towards the balcony door.He took her to the balcony and the night wind hit her face. She screamed and held the rail as the pain went through her. The guards who had her screaming came rushing and surrounded them."Freeze." They told Rain who just grabbed Grace more. If he allowed his wolf to take over, he would kill them all but thankfully he had some self-control within."This is our issue as partners, stay away," Grace yelled at the guards and they all retreated. She smiled only at declaring herself as his partner.Rain whose mind was already messed up, growle
Rain arrived at the North corner hotel. The entrance was strictly guarded and there seemed to be a party going on inside as he saw people show their invitation cards.He scanned the situation and a thought ran through his mind. He walked over to one of the guards and inquired about what was going on inside the hotel."There is a birthday party going on inside there. The details are confidential." The guard told Rain coldly.The party was for the rich and the guard knew all the rich people that normally came in. This young man in front of him looked like trouble and nothing else. He took a step back and went on to honor the important guests.Rain tugged his hair frustratedly. This was also another waste of time. However, he needed to deal with the person who sent the messages earlier. This person certainly knew where they had taken Ketra and if not, he would still kill him for playing tricks on him. Keeping his head away from his body wouldn't be bad at all.He could see couples enteri
Rain was losing it all. His body was shaking and his breath seemed to have paused as he followed her scent inside the woods. His wolf wanted to take over but he feared that it would rip anyone and leave them bleeding, less dead and that was inappropriate. After all, this was a place for weak humans.He ran faster, following her strong scent but as he got further in front, her scent disappeared completely.He cursed and stood for a moment confused about which direction he had to take. This bastard, he would kill him as soon as he landed on him. He was worried and his blood was boiling. He was late. George loathed or even envied Ketra and he would do the worst things to her. He felt his wolf forcefully try to take over these thoughts but he somehow managed to suppress him.'Let me go. I can find any scent and bring back our mate. I can't let them hurt her.' His wolf urged Rain but he ignored him and began following a weird scent that he had just discovered.He would have continued with
