When I returned to the pack borders, it was already near dawn. A few of the guards were on their routine patrol for any intruder trying to get inside the perimeter.My thoughts were already coiled in a spiral. Somehow the thought of Daphne being the mate of my rival caused an intense ache in the pit of my heart. This mate bond was playing with my head and it definitely ruined my unhinged plans for victory.I was supposed to reject her the moment she sensed our connection, but since I learned that she was possibly mated to my enemy, it seemed that the plans for rejection would be buried in the deepest pit of the woods.She couldn't be with anyone else. If I had to lock her inside this pack so Lennon wouldn't be able to see her, so be it.'I know that you're gonna have a change of heart about Daphne . But I don't expect it to come so soon!' Dark mused. 'You want the girl as much as I do. You just won't admit it!'"Shut. Up,” I gritted.Before this little stubborn she-wolf walked i
It had been a week since Alpha Calle or Beta Degen crossed paths with me in the packhouse. I was not complaining though that finally their focus was shifted to other stuff. Away from the Alpha's sight was a breather after that serious—even lethal—training in the woods.I couldn't forget how shocked I was the next morning when I woke up in my own bed dressed in a fresh cotton top and pants. I wasn't sure who brought me to my room since the staff that regularly attended to me had no idea, either.Could it be Alpha Calle? Was he the one who dressed me up without my knowing?All I knew was my muscles were in ache. It was as though I'd been hit against the rock countless times. But now, I was healing perfectly, and with my newly discovered powers, I was experimenting with a lot of stuff on my own. The power to move so quickly or move things without touching them had remained in me, but I never paid any special attention to it.This made me look back to my younger years. I still recalled ho
For a second, I couldn't think of anything other than just accept the truth he was trying to bring out of my mouth. There was definitely something very special in this man which was unique to being an Alpha. Although I never liked the status of these Alphas because they had always been dominating and asserting their power over others, he seemed to be not so intimidating after all. My mind was definitely doing tricks on me because he was just a stranger who obviously rescued me and saved my life twice, but still, I should be more careful than giving him the status of being a very close person whom I trusted sincerely from my heart."No, I am not lying. Why would I lie to you, by the way?" I tried to be more confident and unhinged by his questions aimed at me."Because, my little wolf, I can feel your heartbeat. I can look through your eyes and soul." His amber eyes turned darker from all the intensity he was radiating off to me. "So tell me, what makes your face go sour as if you've dr
“By the way, Alpha Calle said you’ve lost your wolf?” Miss Amelia asked me out of the blue. “Mind if you tell me what happened?” My cheeks burnt from the embarrassment of the question she asked me. Good thing Alpha Calle wasn’t in my room anymore because I didn’t want him to see how vulnerable I was when the topic was about my wolf. Not having a wolf of mine was my biggest weakness which ruined half of my life till now. "No, I don't have a wolf. I mean, I shifted once, but she never came back." Although my voice cracked, I smiled at her. Her eyes softened. As she lifted my chin and our eyes met, she smiled widely. "That's fine. Then you are definitely someone special," she replied in a sweet voice. "How can I be special? I am just a person with no identity. A rogue's daughter,” I muttered, veering to the other side of the room. She ambled after me and sat on the edge of the bed beside me. "No, hun. Wait, let me tell you an inspiring tale. It's about Aliyah. Do you know her
By the time I landed on the ground floor, those girls had already vanished into thin air. I balled my hands into fists resting on my sides as anger fuelled my veins. Oh, how foolish of me to expect that everybody would treat me nicely in this new environment. I had undergone betrayal and pain more than I deserved—both emotional and physical, so I must practice being more suspicious. I shouldn’t be trusting anyone, not even Alpha Calle because although he had provided shelter for me, his real intention was still unknown to me.“Relax, Daphne. Try to forget about what happened. Don’t make a big deal out of it.” I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. I must not allow anyone to ruin my day, especially my first day of school.I checked the slip which Miss Amelia had printed for me and learned that I was enrolled in the Senior wing of the school. Although the instructions were already stated in my notes, I still found it hard to follow, especially when locating my designated classroom becaus
“So, what’s the agenda of this meeting that you had me postpone the training for the recruits?” Beta Degen asked as he joined my office and dropped straight to the chair. He exhaled and smirked at me, his fingers tapping the table like he usually does. “Is it a matter of life and death?”My elbows rested on the table as my fingers pressed against my lips when I responded. “It is.”“No way.” His expression gradually turned heavy. “Have you sensed a threat outside the perimeters?”“It has nothing to do with that, Degen. But I bet this one I’m about to say will surely make a deep impact on our connection. I hope our brotherhood is stable enough to accept a little… adjustment.” I shook my head slowly, my stare never left his face. “But as I said, this is about life and death—maybe not of the pack members, but of one who is seriously connected to me.”“W-what?” Beta Degen tilted his head. The way his face turned red, I could sense how confused he was. “Alright, you are making things hard t
“Welcome to Crimson Valley Coven, my flesh, and blood.”Aunt Crisanta gave me a cheek-to-cheek kiss while beaming. As I approached her, the sound of my heels reverberated throughout her manor's magnificent lobby."Good day, Auntie. I gave her a greeting as I took her in my arms and looked at her face. She reminds me of my mum every time I see her because they were so similar. Not twins, but they looked like each other.After that short act of affection, she separated herself from me and frowned as she gazed into my eyes. “Why do you look so unhappy?”“I’m not sad. I’m incensed!” I turned, taking a few steps away from her. My hands were starting to quaver again.“My sweet niece…”I sensed Aunt Crisanta's hands encircling my arm. “Come..." She drew me to the long couch and assisted me in getting comfortable. "Let's sit down and talk about everything that's bothering you." She raised her hand and placed it on my upper chest. "The last time we saw each other, your heart pounded like a bat
“Good afternoon, Architect Earheart.”I nodded at my secretary as he opened the office door for me. When I sat down on the leather chair, he put a stack of papers—particularly blueprints—on my oak desk as gently as possible as though they were fragile glass. “These are the plans that you requested.”“Thank you, Tent. Now you can go to your table. I’ll call you when I’m done reviewing them.”He politely smiled. “Oh, what would you like to eat or drink, Sir?”“Nothing.” I shook my head, already skimming through the papers which were virtually as wide as my table. “But, I’ll let you know when I need something.”Tent nodded again. “Excuse me.”When I was alone, I couldn't help but stroll around, remembering previous times. If you're wondering how I acquired this job, let me tell you it wasn't easy.Even though our pack was in the remote reaches of the continent, far from society, we worked hard to survive and fit in with normal humans. So, at the age of sixteen, I began working in an arch
