2024-10-29 19:42:56"Kiki, why does my cast iron pan look like THAT?
My mom was in a terrible mood. She was like this on most days after a hard day at work. Pushing the pan on the dining table towards me, she got up from her chair.
"And that bland pasta you made, there was no salt in it at all. Can't you do anything right?"
I heard her mumble the rest in a lower voice as she disappeared into her room.
"I can't wait for you to be kicked out of the pack soon."
It didn't make any difference what she said. I had put up with her foul moods almost every day now. I was in a bad mood myself today, but unfortunately, not everyone could afford a punching bag.
I changed quickly and went to the kitchen to get dinner started. There were more important things to do after this. Packing bags and leaving the pack before the Luna Ceremony for one. The images of Alpha Kayden and Sienna kept flashing as I went through cooking and cleaning.
Luna Sienna. Alpha Kayden's

"Take these flowers as well. And the tablecloth. Move it, move it!"Ivory ran around in a frenzy, and so did the other omegas, trying to decorate the stage for the ceremony. I couldn't care less."Ugh, not this blue, Kiki. The Luna is going to be wearing a Tiffany blue dress. The streamers have to be the same color."What the hell was a Tiffany blue? And why was that my problem?My luggage was in the pickup truck that's sitting in some auto shop. I didn't dare open the trunk to take the suitcase out when Uncle Jon was watching me. This town was small, and the cops were jobless. He showed up on the site instead of just having the tow truck sent to me, making my running away plan a big flop."Kiki! Chop chop."I grabbed the long coils of string lights and went around the dais to start hanging them from a nearby stake. Going around a tree and then coming back to the front of the dais, I tried to reach as high as I could.'Someone is watc

I woke up with my nose buried in the wet forest floor, with dead leaves sticking out of my hair. My brain was all fuzzy until I realized I was stark naked.Shit!Pushing my palms into the ground, I bounced up on my feet and crossed my arms to rest my hands on the shoulders before looking around. It was cold and dark. I was typically terrified of such thick woods at the dead of the night.Not today. With my enhanced night vision and the full moon's beams filtering through the tree canopies, the dark didn't bother me.'Hi, Kiki.'A loud, high-pitched cry left my lips when I heard someone's voice calling my name. Must be a female ghost.There was no one around me, and it completely spooked me out. I moved away from the giant oak tree and looked up in fear. Benji and I loved watching horror movies, and every scary scene was playing out in my mind right now.'Don't panic. We finally meet.'"W-who?"
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 19 | Skinwalkers
A strange kind of fear had gripped my throat; it was as if my wolf could sense some dark magic.Skinwalkers!The feeling of dread doubled in my stomach. This could be my last day on earth. Skinwalkers had the power to kill the wolf, and I wouldn't survive much longer after that.But what did I have to lose anymore? I already felt quite dead without my mate. Cel agreed, but a part of my mind refused to believe there was nothing left for us without our mate.It was the same part of me that was still telling me to go to the ocean. I think I heard this voice before. It was there in all my haunting dreams about the dreadful storm. This voice had told me to quit fighting against the water currents and to go deeper into the calmer waters underneath.I had refused to listen to it back then, and I did the same even now. The voice sounded quite mad at Alpha Kayden right now. And it wanted me to forget him. It was devoid of any humanity and didn't care if Alp

~Alpha Kayden~Gusts of cool wind blew through my bedroom window as I pushed the curtains aside and stared at the moonlit sky. It was past midnight, but I couldn't catch a wink.Tonight was supposed to be a special night for me and Sienna. We had waited for this day for years so I could show her off to my pack as their Luna, mark her in front of everybody, and then carry her into my room to finish the mating ceremony.My dad and the pack had finally accepted an outsider with an open heart. It didn't come as a surprise to me. Sienna was undoubtedly lovable, and everyone knew she would make an excellent Luna.This was how it was supposed to be, and I had actually achieved my happily ever after with her. Not everyone was lucky enough like me to be with the love of their life.What was this gaping hole inside my heart then? It was as if my other half was missing. I constantly felt like there was nothing much to live for anymore.Axel was unusual
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 21 | Chaos & Death
~Kiki~Every bit of my body was spasming under my skin. There was a lot of commotion happening around me, but I was feeling too weak to open my eyes. Just lifting those eyelids was taking a lot of effort.I had no idea how long I had been lying on the ground like this, smelling blood and death all around. Hot pain shot up through my arms as I tried to move. I think one of my shoulder blades was broken, if that was even possible. Maybe a few broken ribs too. I was about to fall back into the deep abyss of sleep, but then I heard his voice.Alpha Kayden's voice.'Mate!' Cel purred softly.My eyes flew open, and a sharp pain ran across my body when I barely moved to see if he was really here. A thick fog began to cloud my senses as I tried to balance myself on my palms before standing up. I closed my eyes again for an instant, battling to keep my consciousness.Someone reached for my arm to help me get up while a deep growl resonated from behin

~Alpha Kayden~Thunder rumbled above me as the rain started drizzling through the foggy forest. Axel let out a pained howl, lifting his nose to the dull skies. How we wished none of this had happened. If only I hadn't pushed Sienna away. She would have woken up in my arms, safe and alive.And dad...I couldn't help but think about everything I had said and done to hurt him for years. I loved him. But all I ever dished out were harsh words, constantly condemning his actions and decisions. I could never make peace with the fact that he chose his best friend over his family. He didn't think for a second what would happen to me or his pack if both my parents died. And mom died before turning twenty five, all because of him.My eyes watered up when I thought back to how brutally he was killed. He may not have been the best dad, alpha, or husband, but he was a wonderful person who lived most of his life in sorrow and regret.Tears brimmed my eyes again a
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 23 | Kill or Banish?
~Kiki~Moon Goddess, save me! Why was this even happening to me? I tried to calm myself down, but my heartbeat was going haywire looking at the commotion around me.Hushed whispers and snarls filled the air as the angry pack members gathered at the venue. Most of the important meetings were conducted in the conference room with just the Alpha and his Council members, but today was different. I was chained and dragged to the center of the arena like a domesticated animal on display. Over three hundred pack members had gathered around; they all wanted to know what exactly happened, and almost all of them wanted me dead."She was stupid enough to bite the hand that fed her." I heard someone speak through the mind link.Ivory looked at me like I was a ghost, or maybe some bloodthirsty demon who would rip her head off. Her sister was standing right next to her with the same pale face and shocked expression. She was too scared to even look at me.What wa
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 24 | Mixed Feelings
~Kiki~No one had the guts to go against the Alpha command. The nasty grandma stormed out right behind her grandson when he refused to stop.What was he thinking? Cel, does his wolf feel the connection?Cel??She was groaning in pain, too weak to respond. I was hoping they would take these silver chains off me once I went into the dungeons. Cel was already in terrible condition. All her energy went into healing me from last night's injuries, despite the darn metal clawing at her. I could barely feel her anymore.What plans did the Alpha have for me? Why hadn't he killed me already? What if his grandma managed to convince him about torturing me until the next full moon? Many prisoners did get tortured in those hellholes."Bitch should be auctioned off to the pit fights." I heard Lexi sneer at me while discussing my fate."I heard the Dark River Pack's Alpha is looking for sex slaves. It would be fun to see him bewitched and do stupid t

~Kiki~ "Siren abode?" "Our home in the ocean. You've seriously been living under a rock, haven't you? No wonder we never saw you before." Her laughter echoed across the water, bouncing off the curious stares of the two sisters. "Do you remember the first time we met?" I shook my head as if a thick fog was obscuring my past. "Well, the siren abode is closer to where we first crossed paths," Haley continued, her voice turning gentle. Every full moon, sirens from all corners of the world gather there. It takes us just a couple of hours to swim from Storm Moon Pack, but for those farther out, the journey starts the night before. You see, not everyone can leave the ocean. We're the lucky few." "Um, so your mate is..." I trailed off, unsure if I was overstepping. A blush bloomed across Haley's cheeks, and her fingers unconsciously traced the pendant around her neck. "He's the Alpha King's nephew. I never knew sirens could feel such emotions until I met him. He's—" Eleanor cut in, he
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 46 | Letting Go
~Kiki~The feeling of despair and hopelessness was soul crushing.Alpha Kayden had broken my heart countless times, every single time I saw him with Sienna, when he threw me into the dreary dungeons, and when he ignored the mate bond to choose Willow over me. But I had no control over those situations and could only hope for better days. Today was harder. It was me leaving him behind and choosing the ocean over him.The look on his face as I swam away from him would haunt me forever. I fancied believing so bad he actually wanted me the way he wanted his chosen mate.The only reason he slept with me was the mate bond. The bond was too powerful and it forced him to protect me from his pack and Victoria. He wouldn't have spared me another look if I wasn't his fated mate. He wouldn't have jumped into the ocean without thinking for a second if not for this pointless bond. None of these arguments eased the pain I felt when his face flashed through my mind. I had to do it. To let go of wh
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 45 | The Awakening Pt 2
~Alpha Kayden~"Kade!!! Fuck!!"I heard my Gamma's words before the howling wind took over, blowing my hair into my face as I made a nosedive to meet the raging waters below. Brilliant streaks of lightning blinded my vision while I strained to see if we were going to hit any sharp rocks that lined the rugged coastline.My heart was pounding in my throat, not out of fear of dying but with fear of losing Kiki. I was still midair with a plummeting feeling in my stomach when I heard a loud splash followed by a gasp as her body crashed against the water's surface.Frigid salty waves splashed and stung my eyes moments before my body collided with them. The currents were super strong, they pulled me down violently, tugging my body deeper and deeper. Peals of thunder now sounded distant as I tried to swim underwater, making my way to calmer deeper waters, away from the coast.I knew Kiki went this way because I would have easily caught her if she had managed to make it to the shoreline. It wa
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 44 | The Awakening
~Alpha Kayden~Thirty Minutes EarlierMy meeting with Alpha Brandon went much better than I had imagined. Given that I already irked the Alpha King Kian, only a fool would go ahead and piss his loyal ally off as well. And I was that fool when I told Alpha Brandon that I could not go ahead with what my grandma had proposed.Grandma had pinned high hopes on this alliance and spoke on my behalf without consulting me. Once Willow left Thunder Bay weeks ago, I assumed it was over. But grandma and my Gamma Nash reached out to Alpha Brandon again and gave their yes before I even got to Dark River Pack.I expected Alpha Brandon to be furious for rejecting his daughter a second time. But instead of spewing angry threats and challenges, all he did was ask why I was turning her down. And when I told him I found my mate, he seemed to be completely convinced his daughter wouldn't be happy with me as my chosen mate while my true mate was around me.He just had one request for me: "Willow is very se

~Kiki~"Get some rest. We will do this again later tonight." Cel purred in contentment at her mate's words as he leaned in to kiss my forehead. I couldn't help pouting as he moved away, instantly missing the feel of his arms."I'll miss you.""I know, Kiki! Don't want to leave at all but I have to meet someone before the ball." I loved the way my name sounded rolling off his lips. He kissed me again and pulled the covers over my naked body.I watched his chiseled back as he picked his clothes from the floor. I wanted to memorize everything about him and about our time together. His delectable scent as he hugged me tightly, those gray eyes and the way they darkened so many times today, and that heavenly feeling when he was inside me.I closed my eyes, relishing every moment of the last few hours, about how Alpha Kayden let himself go. The sound of heavy footsteps slowly faded away as I drifted off into a blissful delirium.Not sure if it was the rumbling sky or the hushed whispers of P
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 42 | Claim Her
~Alpha Kayden~Every day had been pure torture since the day I found out Kiki was my mate. I heard so many things about how powerful the mate bond was, had seen my dad wallow in grief for a good chunk of his life after losing mom, and had also seen how blissfully happy some of the couples at Thunder Bay were. Even the manwhore Alpha Blake was suddenly a different person. But nothing prepared me for when I found my mate. No amount of words came close to what it actually felt like once I knew Kiki was mine.My heart ached for her every single moment, and Axel was yearning to see her belly to be swollen with our pups. It breaks my heart that it would never happen. We would never know the beautiful babies Kiki could have given us. I wouldn't even know how she might have looked with my mark on her neck. This was agony. Pure fucking agony. My chest tightened every single time I thought about rejecting her.I have been desperately trying to keep myself together but failing. No matter how
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 41 | Claim Me
~Kiki~ I cracked the window open to let the cool breeze in. It was right before dawn, and the sky was laden with dark rain clouds. Taking a deep breath, I closed my burning eyes. They were dried up of all tears after hours of crying and failing to catch some sleep. Despite the stuffy nose, I could still smell the pinecones and dandelions that were over a mile away. But it wasn't the smell of grass and wood I opened this window for. Cel was restless. The pain of being left high and dry by our mate was too much to handle. She couldn't feel his scent anymore. It was weak for the most part of the night, and now it was gone completely. Dark River Pack was huge and extended for several miles. Alpha Kayden was probably somewhere in the woods, running. Was he also not able to get any sleep? My wolf was pathetic. I tried so hard to convince her to stop thinking about him, but she kept me up all night, lying in the dark and getting her hopes up every time there was a faint noise in the hallw
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 40 | The Lustful Beast
~Kiki~"Oh no! Alpha Kayden will be furious. I'm not going to be the one telling him this news." Poppy started walking back and forth near the doorway, still holding the bags of chips she brought from Thunder Bay.It wasn't really my fault, was it? Did I ask him to break into my bedroom and sleep with me? He should be pissed at himself, and I should be mad at him too because that little bit of pain I felt moments ago was pretty bad when the heat hadn't even started. I could only imagine how much worse it was going to get when the actual heat kicked in.'Our mate is going to continue ignoring us. We don't have to wait for him. There are many others who would be happy to put us out of our misery.' Cel had turned rogue.She was the biggest fan of Alpha Kayden until he made out with Willow. She was so hurt she stopped saying good things about him since then. That didn't stop her from yearning for him all these days. But now she was just a lustful beast? It was scary that she wanted a mate
Alpha Kayden and His Hybrid Mate Chapter 39 | The Heat
~Kiki~My mind was swimming in thoughts as we reached Alpha Blake's pack. How could the frail old woman be Moon Goddess's evil sister?Sibyl! Some things did make sense now.She disliked werewolves and never let Benji or Megan anywhere near her cottage when they had accompanied me in the past. She had also looked strangely disturbed when I showed her the mark on my back.She tricked Alpha Dimitri into believing that she was a seer. She was no seer. She was an imposter. Now I was pretty sure she was responsible for those rogue attacks she pretended to be foreseeing to make herself valuable to Alpha Dimitri and his pack. I bet she had a lot to do with Skinwalkers showing up in Thunder Bay pack lands too.Alpha Kayden was right about Skinwalkers. They weren't capable of attacking someone who had lost their mate. And yet, I found Alpha Dimitri fighting for his life when half a dozen of them were pitched against him. Sibyl brought them in and took care of their dead bodies before the warr
