CHAPTER ONE HIS MATE WAS GONE Losing one’s mate was certainly the end for a shifter like Lucious. If they didn’t die, then they ended up going berserk because of the immense pain they end up going through. ~ Only a few ones were lucky enough to remain sane after such a tragedy struck. If Lucious hadn’t been this powerful, he would certainly be writhing in pain right now. A small smile etched itself on Lucious’ face. His once stoic face was now puffy and swollen with grief. With sad eyes, he looked at the woman in front of him— his beautiful mate. It didn’t matter what state she was in, to Lucious, she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. “ She’s gone Daryl...” Lucious let out a bitter chuckle. “She’s really gone” He smiled bitterly feeling the in his throat Lucious felt his wolf howling and whining in response but even he couldn’t do anything to comfort him. Both of them felt the same, the pain was too intense for them to bear. His hands moved to
CHAPTER TWO MYSTERIOUS WOMANHer body trembled slightly as she sat there, her knees pulled closer to her chest. It took a while, but the voice that had tormented her finally died down, leaving her to sit there in silence.The voice had left, but somehow Haven could still feel those words stuck in her head. She couldn’t help but feel someone was calling out to her this very moment. She felt as though someone desperately wanted her back…. But who? She didn’t know. Clenching her chest painfully, Haven tried to ignore and pretend she didn’t hear all that but it didn’t seem to work. The dull ache she felt in her heart refused to go away.“ What the fuck is wrong with me? ” She grimaced, feeling the sharp pain again.“ Selene, please…. Please make it go away… I — I can’t bear this anymore. Please “ She prayed to the Moon Goddess silently.Haven sat there all alone, hugged her knees even tighter as she battled with her emotions and just when she thought she couldn’t take it any longer, s
THE MOON GODDESS“ Moo— Moon Goddess?” Haven stuttered, her bewildered eyes gaped at the lady. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Was she actually dreaming? But that’s not possible… right ?She could clearly see and hear her, so it wasn’t a dream right? Haven’s head literally wanted to explode. It was simply unbelievable. How could she see the Moon Goddess?‘ Am I really dead?!’ She wondered.Now that she thought of it, she could actually be dead. That was the only possible explanation for being stuck in such a place and being able to see the Moon Goddess.“ Fair enough” The lady chuckled “ But you’re not really dead— well not entirely dead if I may say”“ And yes Haven. I am the Moon Goddess” She smiled “ You can call me Selene”==================•“ So why are you here?” Haven suddenly asked after a while. They had continued on their walk now, though she couldn’t still see a thing and she didn’t understand why the Moon Goddess wanted to take a walk with her, she had to admit she really
THE CHOICE IS YOURS“You’re neither dead nor alive Haven, just something in between, that was why you got stuck in the void.” Selene explained carefully.“ Is that normal?” Haven asked.“ Well…. “ Selene paused, looking for the right words to use “ I guess it’s normal for the few ones who still have something left to do. Their soul doesn’t agree to leave their body completely so they get stuck in a limbo. It’s their choice to decide if they want to live or die. "“ So now, the choice to pass into the afterlife or return back to your life on earth is yours and yours alone to make”. “ Then why haven’t I died yet?” Haven questioned “ I don’t want to live anymore… I don’t think I have anything more to live for” She said bitterly.Haven had already lost everything that mattered to her. She had lost her parents, she was kicked out of her own pack, she lost the only person she had considered a friend.She had even lost the love of her life, Tristan. Her wolf, Kira wasn’t even talking to her
DON’T TOUCH ME!Every single word she heard him say caressed her skin lightly, making Haven shiver with a pleasure she couldn’t quite understand. Feeling his warm breath on her bare neck, Haven could feel the butterflies flying around in her belly while her mind tried to process what was happening right now. She knew the all too well feeling of butterflies flying in the belly and it was not something Haven looked forward to — again. ‘ No— no — no , this shouldn’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening at all.’ Haven kept repeating in her mind. Why the fuck was her stupid body reacting this way all of a sudden? Why?!‘ Stupid mate bond' She cursed silently, blaming it all on the mate bond. Of course, it was simply the fault of this stupid mate bond, It’s the one causing all of this. If it wasn’t there, she wouldn’t be here in the first place, talk more of feeling all mushy inside.“ What do you think you're you doing?” Haven finally found her tongue, her hands landed on his bare c
DON’T TOUCH ME (II)“ I certainly am no one’s mate and I never will be. And even if I do end up being one, it’ll never be to a man like you.” Haven spat out venomously.“ I will never ever accept you as my mate Alpha, so I think it’s best you stop addressing me as your mate .” She said stressing the word ‘ mate’.“ Besides did you really think I’ll forget everything and just accept you— just like that ?” She paused, glaring at him “ You seriously thought I’d happily accept to be your mate ?” “You must really be mistaken Alpha. You brought me here forcefully — against my wishes. You imprisoned me and locked me up in a room, you broke my arm and you fucking tried to kill me!” She yelled. “ And you still think I’d just forget everything and pretend everything’s fine between us ? I don’t think so.” Haven shook her head, pressing her hands on the rough ground and tried to push herself up.Her legs felt pretty weird as she finally got up and looked down at him “ To heck with you and to hec
REJECTIONLucious stood there, his eyes staring at his mate’s own, thousands of emotions running through his mind all at once. He didn’t like the look his mate gave him at all. Something about that look just didn’t settle well with him.He knew Daryl felt it too, but he didn’t know what was wrong.“ Listen to me” Lucious tried taking another step. He had to find out what was bothering her all of a sudden. He had asked for a chance earlier and Lucious was sure everything had been going fine between them. But all of a sudden, she’s acting up and he didn’t like that at all. Haven shook her head, not ready to hear anything that was going to come out of this man’s mouth.“ I said, listen to me !” Lucious’ blue eyes turned almost black as he took a step forward, using his Alpha tone on her. Lucious might not be her Alpha but being the Supreme Alpha, he had this upper hand over every creature in this realm. Haven cursed silently as she felt her wolf whimper and step back a bit.Stupid Al
THE KISS“ I despise you.. I don’t even want to be here in the first place. You took me against my wishes so why should I stay here?. I really do hate you for all you’ve done to me” Her fiery eyes stared at him as she said those words. Those words which were enough to make Lucious’ heart wrench and twist in pain. He knew it won’t be easy to get her to love him but Lucious didn’t know it’ll be so hard to get his mate to forgive him. He knew what he had done was extremely bad but hadn’t she punish him enough already? Like what the fuck? How could he be blessed with such a stubborn woman as his fated mate? His head had already started throbbing due to all his mate’s drama.Sighing a little, Lucious looked at his mate, listening to her pleading for him to let her go.Let her go? Would he be able to do that? Lucious didn’t think so. He clearly remembered that night he had found out about his mate at the Moon Ball and how he had almost lost it when she ran away from him. Lucious wasn’t pr
LOST CAUSE Lucious stretched his tired body, rolling his neck from side to side to loosen the kinks there. His enchanting ocean blue eyes now looked hollow and tired as he stared at the document in front of him, unthinking and unseeing. His eyes glanced at his wrist watch quickly before he flipped the document closed. He grabbed some paperwork and began signing on them once more, yawning a little with eyes glued on what he was doing. Kai soon walked in carrying some more paper work and walked to the Alpha's table. “ Here are all the reports we've received from all the Alphas like you've ordered”. He said setting them down. “ There's one missing, it hasn't gotten here yet”. “ Which one?” Lucious finally raised his head to look at his Gamma before returning to his work. “ The New Moon Pack's. There’s no news from them”. Kai answered. “ New Moon?” Lucious pack formed a while back?” “ Yes.. Maybe it got caught up or something”. “ I sent the word out three days back. That’s enough
GO TO HIMThe evening sun casted long shadows on the ground, its slanting rays giving a warm orange tinge to the sky as Rosie dragged Haven out of another shop yet again. Excitement swirled in her eyes as they walked down, mixing with the little crowd all heading in different directions. Most of the people seem to be going in the direction Haven and Rosie were coming from though, which made her a little curious. A few of them gave Rosie weird looks every now and then. They hadn't seen her around here before and didn’t smell like one of them either. The way she pulled and dragged their Luna through the crowd made them stare even longer.‘ Who was this strange woman?’ Was the question on all of their minds but none said a word. The Luna looked relaxed around her so they knew she wasn’t a threat.“ Haven, why are they all.. staring at me like that?” Rosie asked a bit uncomfortable from the odd looks she was receiving. “ This is probably the first time they’re seeing you, so its normal
LET'S GO SHOPPING Immediately Rosie heard those words coming from Haven, she shrieked so loud that Haven had to cover her ears. Her eyes grew three times bigger and her jaw dropped.“ What?!” She screeched, grabbing a hold of Haven's hands. “ What did you just say? wait.. no.. say it again, say that again. My ears.. I don’t think I heard you clearly”. Haven looked down, the smile on her face morphing into a huge grin. “ I said, r I am in love with Lucious, I really do love him Rosie”.Rosie shrieked and pulled Haven into a big hug. She jumped up and down, laughing and clapping like a child who’s been given its favorite sweet. She couldn’t believe it! Haven had finally confessed her feelings for the Alpha. Now, everything will fall back in place. Rosie was so happy she couldn’t stop giggling and jumping. She didn’t even listen to anything Haven was saying as she squealed in excitement. Kai would be so happy if he heard this for sure. These two love birds will finally get their hap
IN LOVE WITH THE ALPHAHaven's eyes flew open the moment she said those words. Her size of her eyes were like those of a child who was promised to be taken on a trip to a park but the trip ended up being cancelled at the last minute. They kept expanding without her blinking even once. Her fingers pressed against her gaping mouth in shock of what she had just said.She couldn’t believe it.Did she?Did she just admit to being in love with.. Lucious?Haven's legs quivered and she bit down on her lips as she gaped at the mirror. Her other self was gone. Now , she saw herself, eyes wide open in disbelief. Her hands moved to clutch her chest and she felt her heart beating wildly.“ D– did I.. Did I just.. just say that,” Haven trailed off not believing it herself. “ I– I love him?” Her heart skipped a beat and she gasped as if the realization was just hitting her now.“ I love him?” She asked again but this time, it was more of a confirmation than a question. “ I'm in love with Lucious”.
HER OTHER SELFHaven blinked, staring into the mirror with an expression of both shock and confusion written all over her face. She couldn’t believe it!Had she really gone mad? Her eyes blinked rapidly trying to discern what was happening as she stared at the woman who stared back with a smile.Beautiful was an understatement to describe the features of this woman. She wore a simple white top and a pair of blue jeans which hugged her hourglass figure perfectly. Her almond eyes were as beautiful as the blue sky and her silver hair was packed in a pony tail as usual, the tip stopping right above her waist line. Her porcelain skin glimmered as she stood there staring back at Haven.“ Are you trying to run away again?” The figure suddenly spoke up making Haven gasp and take a step back. Okay, now Haven was sure she’s certainly lost it!“ How much longer do you want to run?” Haven heard her ask again but no words left her lips. The look of shock on her face was now replaced with one of co
RESTLESS HAVEN.Rosie subconsciously swallowed, her hands holding onto her stomach. She never realized she was this hungry still the sweet aroma filled her senses completely. Her eyes were fixed on Kai who had his back faced to her. She watched him make his way skillfully around the kitchen as he quickly tried to cook up something for her.Her heart warmed at the thought. This wasn't the first time she was seeing Kai cooking but someone it always managed to stir up something within her. She felt herself loving him even more. To top it all, Kai's cooking skills were top notch. He was a far better cook than her. In fact, Rosie wasn’t sure she knew anyone who could cook as well as he does. It left her wondering how he was so good at it.Her stomach growled again causing her to grimace slightly. Couldn’t it be a little more patient? She groaned, praying he finish up whatever he was cooking fast. She felt like passing out due to hunger already.Lucky for her, Kai was done soon and walked u
At the thought of being followed, Rosie’s throat dried up. She stopped walking and as if to confirm her fear, the footsteps behind her also halted. Alarmed, Rosie turned to see who it was but the person appeared to be much faster. His hands reached for her and he wrapped them tightly around her, enveloping her in a hug. He lowered his nose and inhaled, releasing a sigh of relief as her scent evaded his senses.“ I missed you”. He whispered in her ears.Rosie let out a sigh of relief, allowing her tensed shoulders relax a bit. She put a hand across her chest, feeling the loud thumping coming from underneath. It took a while for her to finally calm her thudding heart.“ Have you lost it?!” Her thin voice yelled out when she did. “ Why’d you do that?”“ Do what?” He asked absentmindedly. His eyes were closed and he allowed himself be carried away by her lovely scent.“ You almost gave me a heart attack Kai! What on earth were you thinking sneaking up on me like that?!”Kai chuckled. “ Wh
BEING FOLLOWED?“ Haven you really don’t have to run away from me” Rosie screamed stepping into the kitchen, a smirk glued on her face.“ I'm not running away. I just remembered I wanted to boil some water. Dayna told me to always drink warm water because of my sore throat”. Haven replied rightfully.“ I'm not lying”. She added when she saw Rosie giving her a look.“ I never said you were”. Rosie chimed, a smirk still on her face.‘ Seriously?’ Haven wished she could just wipe the stupid smirk off her face.“ So, you suddenly remembered you had to boil water only after you’ve confessed your feelings for the Alpha?” She asked wriggling her brows at Haven who gasped.“ You've seriously lost it! Mad, you’ve gone mad!” Haven couldn’t believe Rosie was still going on about this.“ No, not me. You're the one who's gone mad,” Rosie replied with a frown. “ You've lost it, you've lost your heart to the Alpha!” Her face suddenly lit up as she clapped again. Haven literally face palmed herself
ROSIE'S QUESTION. Haven thought she had forgotten everything. She thought she had left all the bad memories behind. The memories of being betrayed by the one man she truly loved and a friend she could give up her own life for, she believed she had forgotten the painful memories but she was terribly wrong. The more Rosie spoke, the more Haven was reminded of the ugly past she tried to hard to forget.Haven couldn’t afford to get hurt anymore. She would do whatever it took to protect the pieces of what was left of her heart. Even if it meant not listening to Rosie’s nonsense again.Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath. “ If you wont stop talking to me about this, then i don’t see the use of being friends anymore”.Haven could only imagine the look on Rosie’s face as she heard her gasp. She clenched her fists willing herself to open her eyes. As she did, her eyes fell on a stunned looking Rosie. Her expression held a mixture of both shock and surprise as she stared back at Haven.“
