CONANThe air suddenly felt cold, as I sniffed even more to get her scent.But eventually I couldn't.I hated how it felt not being able to reach out to her, in the middle of nowhere in the woods.And most especially for the fact that, it had gotten so dark.It was moments like this, I hated the most.I thought of how it was that I couldn't control Lex in times like this.At this point, I had to be stronger and smarter than the usual.I stopped in my tracks, the moment I felt her close.I had my eyes closed trying to mind link her, but I couldn't.I opened up my eyes as I paused in front of the path I suspected she was to come out from.I stood in the front of the open pack staring into the dark.And then, I heard footsteps as it became so persistent.I bent to the ground as I sniffed the air, hoping to get the scent of who it was that was in deep danger.I had my head raised the minute the steps got closer and closer.As I kept on staring into the dark, I heard the cracking of fallen
CONAN“No!!” Lex yelled as I held her naked self up in my arms.I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her lifeless body.I didn’t want to look back and listen to the guards, as I ran ahead into the woods heading back to the pack.At this point, I didn’t care whether or not I was being followed by the wolves.Getting her to Safety was all that mattered.I looked to my left and right as I ran ahead uInto the thick woods.I wasn’t so sure whether to believe she’s passed out or probably dead.I couldn’t feel her pulse, as she felt cold in my hands.If you guard ran alongside with me heading to the pack house.As the others stayed behind fighting off the remaining old wolves.I knew I had made a mistake not attending to her before running off into the woods.And now, she had to pay the price.“Lisa!!” I called out to her hoping she would respond.I kept on calling and calling and calling and still didn’t get any response from her.I suddenly felt scared watching her not responding.I ran
LISAI had my eyes opened to find them both staring at me surprised.I winced in pain the moment I tried twisting my head to the side.“Easy”“Easy,” Conan said, holding my hand.I squinted my eyes at the light that shone so brightly into my eyes. As I had my eyes around, I realized that I had been taken into the mansion.I held onto my hand as I pulled myself up.“What's…”“What happened?” I asked, holding onto my head as I spoke.And then Conan sat right next to me holding on to my hand, while Damien stood by his side.“You passed out in the woods,” Conan said.“I did?” I asked, feeling so confused as the last thing I could actually recall was fighting off the aggressive wolf who was on top of me.And I could recall him biting me by the side of my neck, which did hurt a bit though.I winced in pain, the moment I could recall how painful it was I felt the minute he had his sharp teeth right through my neck.“Relax,” he said, staring deeply into my eyes.“Don’t stress it,” Conan said
LISA“Breathe”“You are safe now!!” Conan said, holding me by the hand as he stood right next to me.I looked around me to find that I had been in the wardroom all along.He stared plainly into my eyes as he spoke, caressing my hand.“You are safe now!!” he said, kissing me on the forehead.“It’s only a nightmare,” He said.I had my eyes closed gasping for air like I had been running for hours.I couldn’t understand why I was having these nightmares of being in the woods.And even worse, those green eyes of the old wolf that had attacked me back in the woods.It was hard taking such things off my head.I held on to Conan so tight as I feared going nuts over what had happened back in the woods, the night before.“How do you feel now?” Conan asked, staring into my eyes.“Better I guess,” I said. I held on to my head feeling as it felt so heavy from me pulling myself up.“Careful,” he said, helping me up.“Did you get them all driven away?” I asked, trying to hide that I felt a bit scar
CONANI had never been this excited like I was now.Never have I ever thought of the day I would get my hands on the culprits who have been disturbing the peace of my pack.I walked alongside the guard, who came in to have the information passed.On getting out of the mansion, I was glad how they all had them arranged like prisoners which apparently they are.Most of them were surprisingly huge, and of a size I never really expected would be rogues.Although they were of the werewolf species, and I could tell from the color of each of their eyeballs.They all knelt at the sight of me.I suddenly wondered why it was they looked so pale as the sun shone so bright on them.I just couldn't wait to ask, why they were so bent in making our pack hell for the members.And was hoping they had something meaningful to say.Mostly what baffled me most was, having to understand how it was that they were hiding in the woods.Taking more steps forward, I walked up to them where they knelt with their
CONANI stood waiting by the desk in the room, as I stared out the window.Apparently, the room brought back memories.Most of which were bad memories of my father having his prisoners abducted and killed in this same room.And here I was, doing the same thing.As it suddenly felt like I was slowly treading in my father‘s footsteps.The days where I had to watch these men die were the worst days of my life.And sadly, it wasn’t so easy getting those scenes from my head as a child.My father made me watch every damn time he had a thief, a traitor.And I had slowly grown, Into a man with no regards to mankind.I could recall a time when I laid in bed sick for days from seeing an old man being killed right in front of me.I had nightmares, sleepless nights as the face of that particular old man kept haunting me through every way possible.I thought I had noticed my weakness as a child and then decided to make me watch every slaughter in that room.So here I stand in that same room today
CONAN“Yes, impossible” he responded with his gaze in one direction.I couldn’t understand a thing he was trying to explain.I stood staring at him for a couple of minutes and was hoping he would continue, with the information he was just about to disclose.“Speak,” I said as I had the heavy chords placed right back into the box where I had it removed earlier.I walked up to the other man, and I urged for him to continue.“They…”“They are not meant to be here,” he said, lowering his head to the ground.I had my head wrapped around my chest as I had a chair pulled in front of him.I sat back down ready to listen to what he had to say.“Go on,” I said, trying so hard not to sound too desperate in getting the info on what he had in mind about the old wolves.“They had long been known to stay away from packs,” he said.“A very long time ago, they lived among the werewolves in packs” “But…” he paused.“Go on,” I said.“They now live in deadly forests, and mostly in the dark,” he added.I
CONANThe more steps I took out of that room, the more I tried convincing myself that I wasn't being played.I tried believing letting him live would automatically make the rest of the captured rogues want to work alongside with us.And apparently, become a part of our pack army.I was hoping so anyway.I suddenly thought about the thoughts of my father and what he would feel seeing what I had just done.Letting the people's killers live.I had done a lot of stuff against the belief of the pack in one day.And I couldn't stand thinking about myself so low and accepting to make peace with men who had our people slaughtered without any remorse or guilt of taking innocent lives.I walked out of the basement heading back up the stairs to the board where the elders and army were all gathered waiting.On getting to the door to the main mansion, I turned to the man behind me as I paused.“Not a single word to anyone” I said, holding up my index finger to my mouth.“And stay close to me”“The
CONAN The long ride home had us giggling and singing and been naughty. I loved Lisa, in every sense of it. She was perfect and flawless and just the right mate for me. Once upon a time, I wanted to choose my mate, the one I deemed fit. I had these high expectations that barely any woman could reach. I abused the moon goddess daily for the supposedly wrong match, and in repentance, I worshipped her daily. I was so wrong and I was glad Lisa endured. She matched my energy, gave me more than I required, and was patient, in a nutshell, she met my expectations and more. While the ride continued, she leaned over and laid her head on my shoulder. I arched it downward a bit, to accommodate her perfectly. I curved my hand so the back of her head rested on my bicep and my hand stroked her hair tenderly. We remained silent as we rode the left of the journey home. When we arrived at the pack house, the servants had already lined up in a file, with balloons and cakes and food and gifts. With
LISA And as expected, both alphas drifted into politics for a moment and when they caught me playing with my food in response, they stopped. "Oh, it's nothing. You can continue. Plus, I want the best for Conan and our pack.” I approved of it. Conan made a face. He was not one to blush, but I felt him do so. "Are you sure? Conan, you can't just agree. Ladies have a way of saying yes and hold you responsible for agreeing to their yes when you had the chance to stop them.”"What?" I chuckled. "Papa Reid, not you roasting your own daughter. I truly approve of it. Besides, I have him all to myself after this breakfast.”"Right." He nodded with a smile. And almost immediately, they continued. We finally finished the make, with them chatting and analyzing instances for the longest. I remained mute. "Excuse me,” A maid started and waited for them to grant her silence and their audience. "The driver is here, Alpha Conan and lady Lisa.”"Alright, we will be down shortly.” Conan dismissed
LISAWe got ready in thirty minutes' time and went downstairs to join papa Reid for breakfast. Already, he had knocked twice on our door and each time he did that, Conan and I would laugh our guts out. If only he knew the silly lots he was housing. “Finally.” He spat. His food was untouched, was he truly waiting for us? For me...his grandbaby? Oh wow. Such a lovely papa. I made a sorry face. Truly, I was truly sorry for making him wait, but never sorry for what I did to make him wait. "Sorry papa Reid." I pouted. “You don't have to be. It's not your fault, I'm sure of it.” That cracked the shit out of me. The fuck! Conan couldn't stop laughing himself... I'm sure he tried to defend himself but lacked the proper word for it. The greatest mistake he had probably made was to allow papa Reid to see his erection. Great torture then the engorged blood. I'm certain of it. "Thank you, papa Reid for that.” I added salt to Conan’s wound. He pinched me with his hands that rested on my
LISA I laid quiet on his bosom, as I listened to the sound of his breathing and watched the rise and fall of his chest. His eyelids are firmly shut, and he's lost in a beauty sleep. I admired him keenly but quietly. I enjoyed every moment I watched him be vulnerable. He may seem hard and look the part, but he had shown me so much affection that I can't even measure up. Still in admiration, sleep came and stole me like a thief. Morning came sooner than envisaged. Like last night, I lazily sprawled, only that this time was different. The hard frame of the figure next to me restricted my further silly movements. I yawned and rubbed on my eyelids recklessly. I turned to face him, and admired the lines of his lips, his perfectly high cheekbones, his narrow nose and the most beautiful eyes that are now covered by their lids. I stretched my hand, but then refrained from running my fingertips across his features. I swallowed hard knot in my throat and rather watched him as I felt wet do
LISA The night dragged on longer than necessary. I lazily sprawled like a child, too weak to get up. My eyelids flickered, once, twice and then thrice, before it remained wide, as I scanned the four walls of the room. It's emptiness greeted me. No Conan. I sat up with a hasty sprint, worried about where he must have gone. He's not a night walker, hence he only did once he had a lot on his mind or when he wanted to enjoy the full moon. I got off bed, stalk naked and walked to the window. Pulling down the blinds, I couldn't help but notice the crescent moon. It was definitely not one of those times Conan would stay wide awake, so what could be the problem. After I scouted for a robe that fits, I started to get dressed when the door opened, he walked in and shuts it. Jeez. I sighed. Both shocked and relieved. His eyes were wide open as they scanned my disturbed frame. He walked towards me, not saying a word. “Where did you go?” I began and paused, on realizing it wasn’t the right
CONAN.I took the towel at the extreme and pat dry my body in haste. As nude as I was born, I walked into the room and settled on the bed beside her. To my greatest surprise, she was already asleep. Jeez!I sighed and covered myself with the rest of the duvet. My body is very much pressed to hers, seeking the slightest of warmth and comfort from her soft skin. Frustrated, I sighed again. She must truly be tired and the cool breeze from the air conditioner wasn't helping. For what seemed like long minutes, I watched her sleep peacefully like a baby...my baby. Her beautiful face adorned the room like a rose amidst thorns. Her skin glowed flawlessly and brightened the room, and even more so, she was beautiful when she was messy and with her makeup off. If this wasn’t perfect, then perfect is definitely not a word. I traced my fingertip along the bridge of her nose and watched her twitch her muscles. I smiled at how her smooth face formed a wrinkle which disappeared seconds later.
CONAN.I stood up and tried to lift her up, but she remained adamant, struggling to keep pinned to the couch. It's a bit odd, seeing how frail she is, one would only imagine she would be weigh this heavy. I playfully groaned as I tried to pull her up again, and she smiled. "Common Lisa, we need to freshen up.” I tried to convince her, quite exhausted from combating with her. "You go ahead then, besides you need it more." She managed to whisper and then sniffed in my direction to prove her point. I scoffed. "Oh, really?”"Of course." She smiled as she sniffed again. "Phew!” She mimicked gagging. Nasty. "You're yet to believe your lies.” I replied bluntly, suppressing the laughter that was brewing inside of me. "You should get up by the count of three...”“Or?” She rolled her eyes. I never thought of it. But now that she mentioned it, I assessed her to know the best response. “Or you will have me carry you into the shower and bathe you in your dress.” I informed. Happy I found
LISAI giggled and continued sobbing. "You would wish you never said that." I nibbled on his nipple that was closest to reach, damping the fabric of his dress. He laughed, the movement caused the rise and fall of his chest. "Alright, let the love birds be.” Alpha Reid dismissed the crowd as they moved to the dining area and began digging into all of the delicious meals they saw. The aroma of them made my stomach growl and brought me yet another mocking delight. We were left in our world and I was allowed to soar crazily. Conan, my mate, and my alpha outdid himself. My alpha, I blushed. And so did my grandfather. No matter how much I say a big thank you, it won't be enough to express my gratitude. By the end of the party, it was late already. People went back home and those that were quite familiar with Alpha Reid stayed behind. Some crazy lots went home with the food that time couldn't make them enjoy. “Your room is ready Lady Lisa and Alpha Conan.” A maid informed from behi
LISA The blissful moment made me forget I had a fractured foot. In Conan’s arms, I felt protected. And in the warmth of them, my whole world is contained from the start to the finish. Gently, I pulled him to myself and laid my head on his chest, listening to the symphony of his heartbeat, which was more melodious and alluring to my soul, than the soft music in the background. He stroked my hair and pressed a soft feather-like kiss on my forehead, smoothing it afterward. I sighed softly, and I enjoyed every bit of his. The feel of his soft lips on my bare skin. Delightful. Even though I knew I had this sexy beast all to myself, or that I was also aware that forever he's mine, it still felt unbelievable. And I can't seize to be amazed whenever I think of it. Slowly, I sniffed him in, his masculine scent stood out in the crowd. The thought of having this smell on me for the longest makes me blush. And for the rest of my days, I would wear his scent with my shoulders high.
