He felt something was wrong with his mate. Something she wasn’t ready to open up about. With the full respect they had for each other, he didn’t force her to tell him what was on her mind.To be there for her, to make sure she knew she had someone on her side, he pulled her into him and placed her head on his chest. He played with the strands of her hair and they just lay there, speaking of nothing. Just listening to each other’s breath.If it wasn’t for his vow to never cross the line when it came to her since he thrived for equality and less control over his mate, he would have asked and he would have known it had something to do with the death of the elder.When they went to the Dark Shadow Pack, the supreme alpha had been blind about everything on their way there and when they had reached the gates, it was when she had informed him she wasn’t okay with how a respectable elder died in the hands of the arrogant alpha.The bond, the passion and the love had made him strangle Alpha Al
The idea it might be broken somewhere with blood draining out of its body made her toss and turn in her bed. No matter how many times Alicia told her it was for the best, she couldn’t forget it at all. The owl was stuck in her mind.Kelly hit Alicia’s hand away. She rose urgently, her hand hitting the bowl with yellow liquid on it. Alicia’s shoulder slumped, feeling bad for telling her friend to forget it. However, she didn’t stop her from leaving.Kelly walked faster at first and then slowly, she hoped Alicia could follow her and assured her that they were mistaken, it was on its way here. When that didn’t happen, she snapped her neck at her and was surprised to find Alicia picking the bowl from the ground.She huffed and rushed to the house, she bumped into Felicia and walked away without even saying an apology.Felicia said nothing, after all, there was something under her sleeve she wished they didn’t discover before supreme luna arrived. She jumped when the banging sound echoed t
Alpha Alphonso tapped his fingers on the table.His mind raced while every part of his body was stagnant. The gnawing feeling below his stomach intensified, and his heartbeat scared the shit out of him. He was feeling so many things at the same time. “Patience is the key.” Beta Pierre had told him before he left.However, the increased tapping on the table proved that the little patience he had was thinning out. It has been six hours and Beta Pierre hasn’t returned yet. He couldn’t go for another hour feeling this way.This was the first time Alpha Alphonso had nothing under control. The first time he felt what others felt whenever he tortured them. For a few seconds, he thought, “I won’t hurt anyone again. This feeling of despair is torturous.”Since the day they spoke about leaving for the Wild Pack, Alphonso has been unwell. With no elder here, and couldn’t get himself to ask any healer in the pack for help, he had waited for a miracle to happen.However, five days have passed and
“It was a lethal injection.” Beta Pierre informed Alpha Alphonso.Alpha Alphonso wasn’t surprised at the revelation, by now, he understood Beta Pierre would go to great lengths to come true. He would meet his death if it meant making sure a plan was working.Leaving the Wild Pack was hard but they managed. With the new five warriors’ arrival and the pack, the wolves didn’t have a choice but to listen after being told to go into their rooms.“If anyone saw us, it is their fault.” Beta Pierre said, thinking back to when he explained to Gio that if anyone started asking suspicious questions, they should be put down.“Is he dead?” Alpha Alphonso inquired, looking back.“Yeah, told you it will be easy. We just had to pretend we gave a shit.”Beta Pierre drove to a nearby forest, he laughed when Alphonso told him he was cruel for burying him near his pack. he shrugged it off. They arrived at an already dug grave and threw him inside after checking his pulse and heartbeat. He was dead.Drivi
For days, Hilla nursed her with tenderness and passion. She handled her like a rose petal she didn’t want to tear. A total stranger who made her whole body tingle. A stranger who lost it one minute and the next she was kissing her as if her life depended on it.Hilla only knew her name and nothing else. It was weird and it wasn’t a surprise that she hadn’t told anyone in her home. Her parents and her brothers were visiting after they had called and she wasn’t answering.They had been so worried that they called the florist and got no answer. To make it worst, when they sent someone to call for her, she responded, “I am held up, mom. I will call when I am free.” One day had turned into two days making her parents worry and it was why they were here.Although they could see she was acting strange, they didn’t force her to tell them what was happening, thus, they decided to stay and wait till their daughter was okay.Hilla opened the windows, the air flew in. It was refreshing. Ciandra m
Once they calmed down, Hilla climbed the stairs. Her playful smile told Ciandra to go along with what she had just said. “Fiancée.” Alpha Ciandra whispered. The name rolled on her tongue smoothly. She loved it, whatever it meant.Hilla’s parents followed behind slowly, leaving their son stuck where he was with one question displayed on his face. “You are joking, right?”A genuine smile broadened on Alpha Ciandra’s face when Hilla circled her arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Hilla’s heart thumped softly against her chest. Hilla looked at her, and then at her parents, still climbing the stairs. Slowly, as if they would rather walk outside for hours than come up.“You need to relax.” Alpha Ciandra thought.Hunter adorably claimed, “if this is what we should get every morning, let us continue defiling the moon goddess.”She stiffened and the smile began to drop from her face. No, she didn’t need the real reality check. She was fine a minute ago, returning to her reality with Hi
The current month was nearing and it was no fun.Alpha Ciandra wasn’t looking forward to unravelling what surprises the moon held alongside the moon goddess who had been quiet ever since they communicated on the first day she met Hilla.This silence meant one thing only: A storm was coming.Alpha Ciandra wanted the time to stretch so she could enjoy Hilla’s warmth against her body and her angelic voice in the morning so that she could listen to it over and over like a music lover obsessed with the newly released song by their favourite musician.Hilla had the same feelings, she was beginning to fall in love with this stranger. She didn’t fight it. Whenever anyone at the florist mentioned they looked great together and clearly in love, Hilla didn’t object to it.They have been going to the florist together. Hilla has been teaching her how to handle business. Sometimes, Hilla would leave for deliveries and Ciandra would handle the shop.Today was the weekend, and Hilla returned more qui
Once a pariah, always a pariah. The only difference here is that, she brought it to herself. Bad luck was following her everywhere. Look to the right, to the left. Still bad. She blamed herself and the moon goddess. She didn’t need a soothsayer telling her this has to do with her.She had felt the storm coming, but she never thought it would be in the form of the death of Hilla. Hell, she hadn’t even sat and think of what would happen.Ciandra kissed the lifeless body goodbye and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. The last time she spoke to her parents was when they were here, this will be the second time. It sucked.How could she start, “hey, I killed your daughter, come and take her?”She stayed silent as the phone rang, when she thought no one would answer, a manly voice came through, “Hilla, I will kill you when I arrive there.”Ciandra’s breathe hitched, they must not find her here. She is a wanted wolf by vile Alphonso, the last thing she needed was to hunted by humans who w
