NYRA“This is not A DATE.” Alpha Fenris took me everywhere. The more time we spent with each other, the more my emotions were wavering. One moment, he would be gentle with me, as if I was the most delicate flower he had picked among the whole world, but then a few minutes would pass and he would return to his usual flirty self. But I know better than to trust this man in front of me. He’s dangerous.Far more dangerous than Ceylan.He was laughing as he chased a bird away, and I couldn’t help but look at the direction from afar, where Ceylan’s pack was.“Shouldn’t we head back now?” I asked hesitantly, noticing that the sun was already setting.Alpha Fenris glanced at me, “No way, I thought you would enjoy this. Don’t you want to be away from your brother, Nyra?” He asked me as if I was the weird one. I frowned at the word brother, “As I‘ve said, that bastard is not my brother.”“Oops, forgive me, that was not my intention. I just keep on forgetting.” He said although I couldn’t fee
I was rooted to my spot as Alpha Fenris slung his hand over my shoulder. Since my feet were buckled on the ground, I had to stay upright. If it weren’t for his hands, I might have already collapsed earlier.Fangs were withdrawn, and the blood was shed. The battle is on. I have been waiting for this, to be rescued. And now that Creed is here, I am not even sure if he came for me. Because it seems too good to be true for him to even bother going for me. Because what would he gain from this? He made sure that I got that point last time. Ceylan, far ahead, who had lost his pack members, his home, his territory, and most especially his mate, was seething red.“Creed!” He called out in pain, agony, anger, and so much hatred as he ran to the roof where Creed was waiting.Creed’s eyes glanced at me for mere seconds, and I couldn’t miss out on the smirk playing on his face. He looks like he would kill anyone, including me. And it sent me chills down my spine. This is a bad thing. I am not e
The first thing that came to my mind was what the f*cked. How the hell did a high-ranking official, know of my name? The last time I checked, I may be famous for my father and how things are but it wasn’t that severe. An elder for goodness sake. I never respected them, just because of formalities, but now that one of them is here, standing in his glory, I was gawking. But more than that, I was bothered by how he and his members, about ten, were standing behind. Well, I think there’s more of them hiding behind the bushes. Before I could even reply, he scowled, glaring at the scene in front of us, “Tsk, more work for me.” He looked like he was referring that it was my fault that I gave him more work, to begin with. Isn’t it their stupid job to fix after a mess? And right now, the way his eyes glide over me as if I was a pest speaks volumes. As if I was a pest. “Why are you here?” I managed to ask. I mean, it was not their business when I was banished from the pack, and now they th
What a fucking joke. Really. Those three words coming out of his mouth as soon as he woke up from his fainting irritated me more than the fact that I have to hold his body right now. His hot breath glazed my skin, and his eyes pinned me to the edge of the river, not escape me. His large rough hands tightened on mine, and as much as I wanted to run away from him, every fiber of my being screamed for help. I needed someone to break this moment so I could wake up and slap myself too. No, I won’t allow myself to be fooled by him! I expected him to hit me back in return, because that’s what Creed is, that he is the type to be rough and stoic, and not the helpless-looking puppy in front of me with eyes full of heavy expression. Who is this man in front of me and why is he being too gentle with me?I can’t even fathom the fact that he was quietly just staring at me, and it bothers me how instead of feeling proud that I finally let out my emotions, hitting him, instead, I just felt guil
What now?Those were the words in my head as soon as we finished bathing by the river. Well, more like me helping Creed bathe. It seemed that after our “heart-to-heart talk” he passed out again due to his massive bleeding. I spotted a nearby cave for us to temporarily seek refuge in. I tried so hard to stop his bleeding by getting some herbal leaves and patching it all up on his open wounds. I was amazed at how he reached this point by how fatal it looked. If it were some other being, they might have already died. But thanks to his alpha genes and innate quick healing abilities, he’s in better shape now. However, he hasn’t once woken up. He seems to be in a deep coma ever since the river encounter. I kept myself busy by thinking of ways how to ease his pain as he released groans and grumbles in his sleep. Now that I finally cleared my thoughts and had my alone time, my head was full of racing ideas.What are we now? Well for one, that is the most that stuck with me. I better ask
NYRA’s POV Seconds, minutes, and hours passed, and I just continued nursing him back to life, and it took him three moons to wake up, and another three moons where he could finally walk. “You’re tough. I knew you would wake up.” I commented. “I’m surprised you didn’t leave me there, Nyra.” His deep voice retorted. “How could I leave you when you were crying like a pup in your sleep.” He paused, “I did? I thought that was a dream.” I paused. Did he remember what happened to us back at the river? Back when he was on the verge of death yet all he could mutter was loving me? “Yes, I remember. All of it.” He replied, and I frowned, unsure if I said aloud my thoughts. He smiled, “I could hear you, Nyra, Your thoughts, your voice, it all echoes in my head.” This could only mean one thing. He already marked me… My eyes widened, no way! He released a deep chuckle, clearly enjoying my bewilderment, “Yes, and you see, it was strange. Your mind was filling my head for the w
Under the soft light of the full moon, the forest was bathed in an ethereal glow.The shadows of ancient trees danced around a secluded clearing, where Creed’s hands were tapping in me, our skin glistening silver and ebony, stood facing each other. Our eyes, filled with a mix of primal intensity and tender affection, locked in a gaze that spoke volumes.In the tranquility of the night, I moved closer to him, our breaths mingling in the cool air. Creed, his form strong and protective, reached out to caress my face with a gentle, clawed hand. I leaned into his touch, my eyes closing briefly in contentment.Slowly, we nuzzled each other, our fur intertwining as we pressed together.The warmth of our bodies dispelled the chill of the night, creating a cocoon of intimacy. Creed’s hands roamed over my back, tracing the contours of my muscles and the softness of my fur. I responded with a soft whimper, my own hands exploring the breadth of his shoulders and the strength within him.As we san
Oh, did I hear him clearly? Of course, now that he had strayed from his initial plans because of me, it was time to finally return to his rightful pack. I completely forgot that he’s not just a rogue. He has a purpose, and he’s going to fulfill it now. “But…the current alpha is your uncle..” He just raised his eyebrows, “And? I mentioned it to you. My whole goal was claiming back what is rightfully mine.”“But you’ve been rogue for too long. Let’s say you took down your uncle, now what? What about your members? You know how crazy our world is, they discriminate against us, rogues. They wouldn’t see you as their leader.”He breathed deeply, “I have to make it work, or my father’s efforts were just in vain.”I could see another war coming. With Creed leading it. And I could picture myself being stuck in the middle again. I don’t even want to experience that again. “Creed, you just recovered from a near-death experience. Please don’t make it hard for me.” He caressed my cheeks, “Awe
CHAPTER 35 The morning after, Nyra was next to Doctor Creed who was smiling at her. Nyra’s eyes fluttered open and she woke up. While she was in Doctor Creed's toilet, she heard a phone call.“Nyra, baby, someone calls on your phone.” He heard Doctor Creed yelling from outside. She left the toilet and thought it might have been her parent, but the number was unknown. “Nyra, are you?” A man asked on the other line.Nyra suddenly stopped when hearing the familiar voice. Oh so familiar. She did not think she would hear the voice that she had long forgotten.She cannot speak or move. What is he saying? Nyra wanted to cut off the call immediately, but she asked in fear, “Who is this?”“It’s me. Fenris…”It felt like the whole world suddenly fell on her. Fenris. Nyra had tried to bury and forget that name, and when she heard it again, all the pain he caused her seemed to resurface. She thought she moved on. But oh boy. “How did you get my number, Fenris?” Nyra masked her fear and ins
Nyra’s night took a turn as they climbed into Doctor Creed’s room. She did not expect that her words would lead to this. It suddenly rained. Doctor Creed took an umbrella from the car and covered Nyra.“How about you, Doctor Creed? You’ll get wet” Nyra asked worriedly.“I’ll be fine, Nyra. Just go inside."Nyra stood up and went quickly to Doctor Creed’s house door.He looked at Doctor Creed’s wet clothes, “You’ll be sick, Doctor Creed.”“I don’t care. As long as you’re okay.” He answered. When they got into the house, Doctor Creed sent Nyra to the kitchen and drank water. Nyra was still concerned for him.Doc Doctor Creed immediately stood and put their hands on his shirt before he pulled up. Nyra gasped at the sight, swallowing at what she saw. She felt a bit tipsy earlier but she became sober. Nyra could see how drops of water from his sharp jaw toward his chest and down his abs cascaded down.“What are you looking at, Nyra?”His question struck her, “What are you doing? Why ar
“I’ll sue you!” The family of the patient who died yelled. This is the first time Nyra saw that someone complained to Doctor Creed. “Sir, we did our best.” Doctor Creed explained. “No, if you did everything, why my child has already died? Isn’t it because we can’t afford the full payment here at your hospital? If I just knew, we wouldn’t have stayed here! I thought you were the best doctor here!” Nyra quietly looks at the patient's father as he shouts all the painful words. The miracle is Doc Doctor Creed lets the patient’s father. He was calm and it seemed like it wasn’t the first time it experienced. He knows how to fix these situations. After Doc Doctor Creed’s discreet explanation to the patient, he went to the counter to personally pay the remaining balance the family needed to pay for the hospital. “Just let them leave.” Doctor Creed said and left. Nyra followed Doc Doctor Creed, “Doc, are you right?” “Yes, I am fine.” “But…” “Yes? Do you think you are the only one to be
Nyra didn’t think Doctor Creed was kind of like others. She knows the habits of another doctor. They are just proud, arrogant, and too prideful. But Doctor Creed wasn't that. He may have shouted at her in the past but he had done that for the good of his patient, their workers, and for the whole hospital. It is probably a big responsibility given to Doctor Creed to take care of the hospital. The next day Nyra was surprised to see Doc Smith no longer appeared. His other colleague said he would rather leave because he found a better hospital, and Doctor Creed removed him from work. “Did you see Doc Smith?” Nyra asked Doc Creed to be in the hospital. Doctor Creed remained emotionless as if it hadn’t news to him, “Oh, did he leave? Good. It is good and I don’t need to see his hidden face.” Nyra did not expect the doctor's answer, and he saw that there were two cups of coffee. A coffee held by Doc Doctor Creed was given to Nyra. “Doc? I can't accept them--" “Just drink it, Nurse Nyra
NYRA'S POV Things were going great, and the pack seemed to be getting more stable daily. Creed and I have been going strong he’s become more obsessed with me. We decided to visit the Crimson pack, where Kira is currently staying. I wanted her to see more of my aura and ask what path I should take now. The past heart-to-heart talk with Alpha Kamilah helped me so much and it made me realize all my emotions bottled up inside. “It’s good to see you.” Kira’s face brightened up as soon as she saw me, “I am glad you thought of visiting me.” “I wanted clarification…and some guide too, since you said something about my aura last time.” I started, and she sat me down as we had a cup of tea. Creed disappeared and looked for Lycan King Ace somewhere so we were left alone now. “I see, so you want me to tap inside your soul?” She said. I nodded. She stretched her hands, starting to get to work, and gently placed mine on the pillow. She closed her eyes and she hummed for a few seconds, frown
Alpha Magnus is the funnier and livelier one. However, he becomes serious when it comes to his mate Alpha Queen Kamilah.Among us females, the tallest was Alpha Queen Kamilah. And just merely standing there, she gives off a very commanding aura. Like one look you’ll be willing to offer your lie for her. However, despite her great leadership, she has this motherly and comforting aura that you just want to lay on her knees and say all your problems. Kira, the only human among us, and half-witch, also the Queen of the Witch realm, was also standing out. Her delicate beauty took my breath away and my eyes were glued on her for the whole night, making her shy.The most confident among us is Irina. She stood strong and fearless with all the battle scars on her arms. Like me, she had experienced the She had the sharpest tongue amongst us. Now, I realize we are like peas in a pond. Birds of a feather. I feel like looking up to them with how established they are. All of us are so different
Soon, the three of us were added to Alpha Kamilah. She appeared by the bushes with her glamorous long hazel hair. Her tanned skin shone through the moonlight and her body accentuated all her curves. She had a deep set of enchanting ocean-blue eyes, matching with plump lips and glowing cheeks. “We apologize for running late to the party, we had to finish some matters..” Her beautiful voice spoke, but I felt like I never understood a word she uttered as I was focused on her walking figure as she approached us. Alpha Magnus stood beside her, looking paler than her and had raven hair. He looked intimidating until he broke into a smile. “Don’t worry guys, I am finally here to lighten up the Alpha Kamilah rolled her eyes at her mate and greeted the alphas first. Her eyes caught mine and she slowly walked to our group. “You must be Nyra.”I nodded, pursing my lips and gulping now that she was finally nearer. She noticed my distraught and frowned, “Forgive me, did I scare you? I have thi
‘Come here, they wanted to meet you.’Minutes after staying in Creed’s room, I heard his mind linking me. I instantly got up, dressed up, and panicked. I am getting anxious about meeting new creatures, especially knowing that they are‘I need your support.’Creed added after a few minutes, and I felt his tense voice and nerves trembling a bit. I think I need to get there soon before he melts. As he’s mentioned, it is one of his weakest points, meeting new creatures and having to talk to them. He was used to attacking everyone ruthlessly because that was his way before. As the Ravager.But this time it is different. He needs to be mindful of his actions or the pack that he’s planning to rebuild from ruins is going to end up crumbling. I opened the door and could hear them talking from the outside. “My dear…”I greeted, catching Creed’s attention and offering a little squeeze on his arms. He squeezed back and smiled at me. The eyes of two men standing in front darted their eyes on m
We decided to stay and help build the ruined packhouse back to its place. It was only three of us, and it took us a week to work with it. We also added a better barrier around the territory that would help us be on alert if any rogues are within the area. The elders of the realm had noticed this movement so they kept on sending one of their men and invited Creed to pay respect to them. Creed, hating the elders ever since, would only send back the men with bruised eyes. I wanted him to stop this and convince him to just do as they say but he wouldn’t listen. The elders were getting anxious now that the “Ravager” that they had always wanted to catch him. I admit that being the past “Ravager” had its disadvantages as he had no alpha friends. He had no alliances that he could ask for help when he was in need. But thank goodness for that reputation too that no other pack would dare to cross our territory, fearing for their life. “They’ll only use me as their weapon in their plays.” Tha
