WHO’S SERAPHINA?“ Are you sure it’s really her? The witch?” Raphael asked after a while and Lucious nodded his head. “ Erhmm…” Raphael seemed to have his doubts. “ Are you really sure Lucious? I don’t—”“ I told you it’s her Raph!” Lucious cut him off. “ She’s definitely the one. I saw her standing before my mate through the mind link before I rushed out, and guess what? I found the warrior I sent to watch after Haven, out cold on the ground when I got there, and the fool couldn’t even remember anything. Who’s doing will that be if not Seraphina's? That disgusting woman!" He said through gritted teeth.“ But..” Raph still wasn’t convinced. “ It could have been anyone. We’re always in constant dangers from other creatures, we can’t be sure it’s Seraphina. Just think about it Lucious, why would she try to hurt your mate? . She’s been missing for so many years already and now that she’s appeared out of no where, she decides to target your mate and even tries to kill her? It doesn’t m
IN TROUBLE WITH HIS MATEHearing what Alena said, Raphael’s body went cold. ‘ Help me!’ he quickly yelled out for help through the mind link.‘ No’ Came Lucious curt reply.‘ Excuse me?! No?! Are you fucking kidding me right now? “ He frowned “You fucking know she was coming didn’t you? That was why you said all that, just so you could provoke me and get me into trouble!’ Raphael clenched his fists lightly. ‘ Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t… What can you do about that ?’ Lucious stared at his Beta with amusement in his eyes. He simply loved watching how Raphael always turns a coward in front of his mate and makes a fool of himself. It was his favorite form of entertainment.‘ You really are enjoying all of this aren’t you?’ Raphael smiled at his mate nervously. ‘ You could have fucking have told me you know!’‘ And miss out on all this amazing drama? Yeah right. I wouldn’t miss the opportunity of seeing you cower in front of your mate, you know that… No way! I love seeing you get in tro
A SHIFTER IN THE PACK?“ I’ve already asked the pack chef to send in my lunch early today. I’m so hungry and I don’t feel like cooking today... You never let me go downstairs and eat with everyone”Hearing his mate start to complain again, Raphael could only shake his head. “ Sweetheart, you know it’s for your own good right? I just want to keep you and our baby safe” He placed his hands on her bulging stomach, rubbing it gently.“ Yeah yeah yeah safety first “ She mimicked him and smiled “ It’s alright, I never complain anyway.”Raphael raised an eyebrow hearing what she just said. “ You’re sure about that?” He wanted to ask but quickly decided against it. He didn’t want Alena throw one of her unnecessary tantrums here.“ What is it?” She noticed the amusement in his eyes as he stared at her “ Nothing… I just that you’re so n He caressed her cheeks lightly. “ And you’re now even more beautiful than ever” He added making her cheeks turn red “ Oh stop it” She hit his shoulders pushin
THE GOOThe horrible stench of melted flesh hit his nose harshly as soon as Lucious eyes landed on the figure laying on the ground before him, forcing him to scrunch his nose in disgust.“ How the fuck is this possible?” He frowned his brows, eyes still staring at the melted rubber– like looking substance. It really was the skin of a shifter.The upper part of the gooey substance which Lucious thought to be the head was already disfigured so badly that the face couldn’t be recognized. But what caught Lucious’ attention the most was the orange like strands of hair, sticking out of the head, some part of it had melted to the ground and dried off. Raphael too seemed to have noticed it as he took a quick glance at the Alpha before turning his attention back to the shifter.Something didn’t feel right and they both knew.“ It really is a shifter” Raphael frowned a little, gasps of shock and horror coming from the crowd behind him along with the worried murmurs.“ Oh my goodness” A girl ga
SAW HER AT BREAKFAST“ Lucious something doesn’t seem right” Raphael couldn’t ignore the foreboding feeling that clouded his heart. The feeling was just too uncomfortable for him to even try ignore. The Alpha simply hummed in return, watching his people dispersed. Even he knew the time was drawing closer. It was just a matter of time before….“ Alpha?” Raphael called out making him turn to face him.“ Something’s wrong” He repeated making Lucious frown a little. He knew Raphael worried about things easily but the way he suddenly became anxious was a bit off. “ I’m coming. I need to go check out something” He quickly said and turned to leave without waiting for the Alpha to say another word.The anxiousness he felt wouldn’t allow him to stay with the Alpha and the rest a minute longer. He walked a little faster with only one thing on his mind. He hadn’t gone far when his sharp ears caught a conversation which made him reduce his pace. He couldn’t help overhear the talk going on betwe
DON’T HURT MEIf there was no fear, there wouldn’t be courage; and If there was no discomfort, there would never be relief;~“ Mixing something in one of the pots used for lunch” Out of all the little girl said, that was the only thing that stuck itself on Raph's mind.‘ Lunch?...’ Raphael’s brown eyes suddenly went wide open in alarm, their color transforming into a deep black.“ I’ve already asked the pack chef to send in my lunch early today. I’m so hungry and I don’t feel like cooking—” His mate’s words echoed in his head making him tighten his grip around whatever he was holding onto, a low growl erupted from his lips. The sounds of breaking bones followed by the loud scream of a girl snapped him out of his thoughts and back to reality. But, it was too late. He had completely crushed the arm of the innocent girl without even realizing it.“ Raphael?! ” Lucious stared at his Beta in utter shock. What the fuck did his beta just do?! What was more shocking was the way Raphael spr
HER DREAM.“ Mine”“ You’re mine. I’ll never hurt what belongs to me” His husky voice whispered in Haven’s ears making her shiver lightly. It wasn’t due to pleasure or anything but because of the intensity she could feel in those words... Who is this man and why was he suddenly claiming her to be his? ‘ You do not belong to this man’ A voice in her head chipped in. ‘ You belong to only one man Haven, and you very well know who he is’ It reminded her, forcing Lucious’ face into her vision.‘ I do not belong to that monster!’ Haven yelled in her mind, annoyed with what her subconsciousness was telling her. She certainly didn’t belong to anyone— especially not that disgusting man.“ You’re right...You do not belong to that man” The strange man suddenly interjected, his husky voice startled Haven a little. His hands flew to her hair, fetching some and bringing it closer to his nose before he sniffed it lightly. “ Who are you ?” Haven finally asked, squinting her eyes in the dark. She
DRUSILLAThe soul that has conceived one wickedness can nurse no good thereafter.~~“ Click, click, click” Was the only sound coming from her heels, filling up the eerie quiet lair as she descended down the old stairs, her hands tracing lightly across the hard railing which was made up of stone, just like the stairs itself. The hood from her cloak covered her face completely, making it hard for anyone to see what laid beneath it. Coupled with the darkness, she was almost invisible except for the constant clicking sound of her heels and stone on one of her fingers which shone in it’s dim greenlight color. The whole place was barely lit, making it hard for anyone to see more than a step before one’s self — but not for her.She could see just fine. Nothing apart from the sound of her heels against the cold ground could be heard for what seemed like forever till she finally stopped, arriving at the foot of the stairs. She had no problem navigating her way in the darkness and walked so
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.“
