~Ⓐ︎Ⓝ︎ Ⓞ︎Ⓕ︎Ⓕ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓡ︎~"Happy birthday, Rose." "Thank you, momma!""Here."Mom pulled out a small box from her pocket and handed it to me. The box was wrapped in a little wolf printed paper. It made me smile.I giggled and hurriedly tore the paper to get to the box. I got it open and upon opening the lid, I gasped.A beautiful crescent moon shaped locket was in there. With a silver chain attached. The locket was turquoise color and there was some sort of glow shining within it. Almost making it magical."It's beautiful! Thank you, momma!" I beamed. "It's just like my birthmark."Mom's face held a warm smile as she nodded. She took the chain from me and gestured for me to turn around. I did and held my hair to the side as she put it on me, clasping the hook and turning me back.She softly wrung her finger through my hair, eyes scanning over my features then landing on the glowing locket on my neck."You're special, Rose." She whispered. "You're the Mark Bearer." I frowned, tilting my head
~Ⓣ︎Ⓗ︎Ⓔ︎ Ⓑ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓢ︎??~The drive back to my pack was way too long. Well, it felt like it. For me.You're probably wondering what happened to the fight and the rogues and Gordon?Well, the fight didn't take place. After realizing how big of a douche and asshole he was, more than I thought, I sided with the rogues and offered them a chance to merge with my pack.Become the Moon Knights. They happily agreed.The leader, named Gray, signed some papers that were managed on point, and sealed the contract regarding my rules.Gordon was severed from any alliance from our pack and my father was also informed on the matter. Thankfully, he was more than okay with my decision.Witnessing the Alpha's cruelty with plain eyes, even some of the Night Howlers decided to join me.Now, all of us were heading back. In a week's time, during the full moon, the ceremony would take place and they'd become the Knights.On the other hand, I just couldn't wait to go back to my mate. We took off just after the su
~Ⓑ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓚ︎-Ⓓ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓦ︎Ⓝ︎~"Well, it's yours too, from now on."Chase's head whipped toward me in shock, making me laugh a little."We're mates. And mates share everything." I said.His hands fiddled before he spoke."Will you tell me more about mates? I know only very little from reading books."I arched a brow, it was the first time he wanted to know some more about supernatural things."I'd be more than glad to tell you all about it." I beamed. "Are any of your friends or siblings mated to a supernatural being?"He tensed at my question."I-I dunno. I don't have any friends, and I don't know about my siblings.""It's alright." I quickly assured. "It doesn't matter. I'll explain everything, but first, let me freshen up real quick.""Okay.""Make yourself at home. There's snacks in the fridge if you want. Or maybe watch tv. I'll be down soon."He nodded. I climbed upstairs.I took a quick shower and changed into my night suit. I dried my hair and let them loose since I'd just braid them b
~Ⓚ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓢ︎~We stayed like that for almost 15 minutes, me just being there for my mate as he let go of his life-long pent up emotions.I knew no word was enough to console him, so I just held him. Comforted him. Whispered sweet things in his ears, reminding him that he was safe now, again and again. Untill he finally calmed down.Not getting off his lap, I slightly pulled away to look at his puffed up, red rimmed eyes. Nonetheless they still looked as beautiful as ever.Wiping his tears with my thumbs, I cupped his face and instinctively leaned closer. His breath faltered as he subconsciously gripped my hips, lips parted and eyes speaking."I love you, Chase." I whispered against his lips right before smashing mine on them.He stiffened a little, but as I kissed him slowly and softly, soon he gained his momentum and started to kiss back. Our lips moved swiftly, like they've always known the pattern.Literal fireworks exploded inside me and Asia's purrs got louder while our bond buzze
~Ⓢ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓚ︎-Ⓟ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓚ︎~Chase's POVMy name's Chase Cedric. Well, that's actually all there's about me.I was the youngest of 5 children.Hayden & Jamie, Heila, Celia and Chase.My oldest twin brother and sister were the ideal children for my mom and dad. Then came my second eldest sister, she was independent and could care less about what others thought of her. My youngest sister was more of a tomb boy. She liked to wear boys' clothes and beat people around.Then it was me.Being the youngest one, mom loved me unconditonally. But dad, for some reason, he hated me. He hated that I wasn't anything like my older brother. Who worked at a million dollar company. He hated that mom caught uterus cancer after my birth. He hated that I was skinny and more of a mamma's boy as a kid. He hated my existence.My youngest sister, Celia, the tomb boy one. She loved me despite my other siblings sharing the hatred of my father. But sadly, she moved out of the house at 16, moving in with her bestfriend
~Ⓐ︎ Ⓝ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓦ︎ Ⓓ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓨ︎~Hearing him spill all that he had been through made me clench my fists tight till my knuckles turned white.On one hand, I wanted to kill those sons of bitches or daughters of bitches that hurt my mate so badly. On the other, I was so proud of my mate for being so strong for me."Let me out! I wanna kill those bastards!"Asia growled."Calm down. Chase wouldn't want that."For now, I pushed Asia to the back of my mind to let her cool off, and just focused on being there for my mate.As he relived those horrible moments, I could only hold his hand and rub my thumb over his knuckles in a soothing manner. He often gripped my hand tight when it got difficult to speak, but I only squeezed it in return in a silent way to let him know I was here for him. Always.When he was done, I handed him a glass of water and he gulped it whole down."Can I hug you?" I asked, a bit skeptical of how he'd react after all he just said.He looked at me like I was stupid then a huge grin sp
~Ⓐ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓓ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓝ︎ Ⓘ︎Ⓢ︎ Ⓐ︎ Ⓢ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓗ︎~"So, Freya. This rogue, he was only eyeing the training members? Did he seem to be contacting someone? Or maybe anyone else was there?"Freya shook her head. She was a woman in her middle 30s. Brown hair and blue eyes. She was an Omega mated to a vampire named Kave, who also became a part of my pack."He was alone and only kept an eye out, didn't seem to mind-link or anything.""You didn't see anything unusual about him? Are you sure?"She thought for a moment then suddenly her eyes widened."He had one of his legs patched up and was limping. That's all."Letting the information soak in, I steepled my fingers under my chin and spun around in the chair once then sighed."Alright, thank you Freya. You may leave now.""My pleasure, Alpha." She left.I turned to Jessie, the head of First Range warrior team."Everything's going as I instructed, right? Nothing changed while I was away?""No, Alpha." Her voice was monotonous and stoic, face expressionless.J
~Ⓜ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓚ︎ Ⓑ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓡ︎'Ⓢ︎ Ⓜ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓔ︎~After I showed Chase around and introduced him as my mate, it was a sight to witness how their eyes went wide and they immediately bowed at him. Chase was shocked and embarrassed to say the least.As expected, my brothers choked him with their idiotic questions untill I had to pull him away from them. Layla was the sweetest, she welcomed him with open arms and the look of peace on Chase's face while hugging her was one I'd forever remember.He offered to help Layla, Zara and the other cooks to prepare lunch while I worked. As much as I was loving him being comfortable around the pack, I didn't want him to keep working even here. But his eyes were excited to work at the huge kitchen of the pack house, and I couldn't say no to them.Which brought us here, me going through each pile of paper stacked on the table and signing on treaty requests. "Something's off."Asia's voice alerted me. She was pacing back and forth, her nervousness making me uneasy.
*Two years later*It still felt surreal.Three years of total with my mate, yet it felt like an eternity has passed and it still wasn't enough time to have spent together.It's our second anniversary and the day of our wedding was still as vivid as the occuring day in my mind and heart.I must admit and believe it was the most beautiful, eathereal day of my life.Under the Full Moon, all of us gathered, several packs were invited and it was a mass of a commotion that bounded us all.Blessed by the Moon Goddess, acknowledged by several fellow werewolves and humans, we were bounded by the law of humans.Chase looked as glorious and elegant as the moonlight. Dressed in a dark blue tux and hair styled in a fashionable way. Eyes gleaming with all the love in the world.I had a dark blue dress on, matching his tux and my hair was neatly tucked in a messy bun. My mother's hair pin sat idley at the back of my bun, like an invisible support and love from her from up the above.I had dad come o
Ⓣ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓢ︎ Ⓘ︎Ⓝ︎ Ⓛ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓥ︎Ⓔ︎I knew what I did was out of the blue and very sudden. But in my heart, I knew it was the only right thing.For werewolves, marriage was only something to be applied on papers, because we already bound the moment we mate.I wanted to get married for Chase's purpose, so he knew that we were bounded together for eternity.It was a sight to see when I asked him to marry me. It seemed like his eyes lit up like Christmas tree, so bright and full of gleam.He had jumped on top of me and left feather kisses all over my face, whispering 'yes' in between. I haven't laughed like this in a while.The whole pack was now in a fit. Planning, arranging, yelling, dreaming, way too excited for their Alpha's wedding.It always brought tears to my eyes seeing just how much they loved and respected me. Just how much they've come to accept me.Being the first born, they always knew I'd be the next Alpha. Still, it wasn't like no one had different opinions. Some were against the
ⓁⒾ︎︎︎Ⓣ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓛ︎Ⓔ︎ Ⓜ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓔ︎Jessie's POVNo matter how absurd and awkward it seemed to me before, it was just as sweet for me now.My mate snuggled up against me while we stargazed.It was something I never imagined for me to have. A future, a mate, a lovely evening spend in love.I was born and trained to fight by the Alpha's side. I wasn't allowed to have attachment or any affection since I could die anytime. And weaknesses could be used against me in battlefield.Dad was my trainer since he was a warrior himself for Alpha Joseph Moon.He always dreamed to have a son, who'd walk on his steps and become the strongest warrior in the next generation.But I came in his life as a disappointment, a dream-crasher.To worse the matter even more, my mom died after my birth. Leaving my dad with no other option as werewolves barely got second chances or chosen mates.To impress him, or just to hear him say something nice to me, I always trained alongside the others at a very early age.Somehow, da
Ⓜ︎Ⓨ︎ Ⓐ︎Ⓛ︎Ⓟ︎Ⓗ︎Ⓐ︎"You're not giving another drop of blood and that's fucking final! I will not hear another word from you." My fists were balled at my sides, eyes vibrant purple and if it was possible, steam was coming out of my ears.Chase rolled his eyes defiantly, arms crossed over his chest as he openly argued against my decisions."It's my blood, I will do whatever I want with it!" He yelled."Don't you dare. Don't you fucking dare talk like your soul and body aren't connected to mine. We're fucking mates!""Don't pull that card on me! Being mates doesn't mean I can't take my own decisions! I'm the Aleph of this pack. I can take decisions for our pack!""Shit. That's hot. And sexy."I vigorously shook my head to get rid of Asia's horny ass drooling over how hot our mate looked.From all the yelling, his hair fell over his eyes and cheeks flushed from being mad, brows furrowed and breaths heavy.And especially the way he claimed this pack as ours, that was damn hot and it made me
Ⓘ︎Ⓣ︎ Ⓦ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓚ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓓ︎During the brewing of the potion, Chase needed to be present.Everyone necessary gathered in Diana's cottage.Aiden was there as well. To my relief, he looked much better. Delighted even. He asked me not to tell everyone yet, they wanted to adjust a little to the oncoming situation before the announcement.Chase and Diana sat on the floor, across from each other. The woman's eyes closed as she chanted something in Latin, gripping my mate's hands way too tightly for my liking.He seemed unfazed, and it assured me that he didn't feel any way uncomfortable.It took around 15 minutes then the incantation ended and Diana released Chase's hands, a foggy wind erupted around, then disepersed in a flash.Diana held up the red liquid from the bowl and poured it into a small vile like the one from before."Let's see if it works." "But who will we test it on?" I asked."Let's ask the rogues who wants to volunteer."I nodded.We all went straight for the dungeons. Somehow everyo
Ⓢ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓕ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓔ︎?Dad was banned from the pack.That was all I could muster after our conversation. I didn't dare look in his eyes as he was put through the ritual of severing pack ties.He already lived away from us, it wouldn't be a huge deal for him.No matter what, he did raise me as his own, his love for me was nothing but genuine. So, of course, I still cared about him.Nonetheless, a wolf severed from its pack became either a rogue or died rather earlier. I just hope he wouldn't do something stupid."I'll always love you, and want the best for you, my little girl. Ask the Aleph to forgive me. I hope he keeps you happy." Were his last words as he was dragged out of the territory. There were only the First Range Warrior team. I refused to tarnish my dad's, the previous Alpha, reputation.Doctor Kane had taken the first pint of blood for the trial potion, and my eyes wearily inspected Chase's every movement afterwards."For the hundreth time, Rose, I'm completely fine." He grumbled,
~Ⓤ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓔ︎ Ⓜ︎Ⓔ︎~Were there any more secrets that anyone needed to tell me?!What kind of Alpha was I? I barely knew anything! At all! About my own fucking origin!The man I grew up calling dad was actually not my dad. Which meant my dad never saw me, and neither did I know or meet him. I never met my dad? I never got to know him? Have him train me? How was he? What kind of person was he?One thing I knew was I didn't look like him. I have never even seen any pictures of him- It hurt. It hurt so much. I wish I could meet him only once.My feet took me back to my house, I was nonchalant and my mind frozen, replaying the revelation from a couple hours ago again and again.I went straight to our room and stopped when the smell of salty sea breeze hit my nose and made Asia whine, in need of comfort. We both needed comfort. We were severly hurt, and everything felt like spinning rapidly around me, making my reality blur and vauge."Hey." Chase's head peeked out from the bathroom door, an a
~Ⓜ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎ Ⓢ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓢ︎?~Chase listened in on intently to everything that's been going on, including his 'blood' being the main source of problem.He didn't stop or question me once, and the way he was displaying a neutral expression, I was myself not really sure what he was feeling.My boy became quite skilled on controlling his emotions from spiraling. I barely got any glimpse now a days, unless he let me."That's all." I huffed, kinda drained from talking for about half an hour non-stop.Neither Aiden nor Hannah were around today. Aiden obviously still gathering himself from the recent news, while I sent Hannah for information hunting along with the Second Range Warrior team, in order to finalize my dad's punishment. Who was still in specialized lockdown.Chase leaned his back against the couch, exhaling sharply and nodding his head to something invisible.I bit my lip in anticipation, I didn't realize it earlier but I really wanted his suggestion, advise, or whatever he has to
~Ⓢ︎Ⓗ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓖ︎~No, I wasn't surprised. I was shocked.Jessie's mate a half breed, small and adorable boy? Well, Goddess did have her own ways of pairing us.I wonder how Jessie would treat him. Knowing her, she'd either be distant but melting on the inside, or total opposite. Roaming around her mate like the softie she's in the heart.She'd never show or admit it to anyone, but I knew how much love she has buried deep in her heart. It's now the perfect opportunity for her to share her love. I was really happy for her.Currently we were visiting the amusement park. We meant Chase, Lucien, Lucious, Aiden, Fiona and I.Chase had never been to an amusement park, and as his mate, I'd for sure fullfil his wish.So here we were.We had already rode half the rides and now we sat inside a cafe for lunch.Fiona was looking green and leaning against Aiden, who seemed rather dishelved. His hand never leaving hers, he'd snap if anyone merely even touched his mate.Seeing Aiden like this was wei
