SIN
I sighed as I glanced at my golden wristwatch again.She was an hour late. I have not seen a bride or anyone arrive that late to their ceremony before.It was annoying as I got to stand in front of the damned altar, waiting for my supposed bride-to-be.I tugged the tie on my neck and let out a deep breath as I felt it constricting my airflow.My eyes darted to my mom, Queen Ada. She sat a few meters away from where I stood, and I noticed her eyes kept on flickering from my face to the entrance.I couldn't figure out what she was thinking, even though I could hear the thoughts of the others, which were giving me a terrible headache.I believe she was good at concealing her thoughts. Also, now I know she wasn't joking when she said she had got a new power, which meant blocking others from trying to penetrate her mind.She was that strong.As the daughter of an Alpha herself, she was beta to her brother, who was voted as the new Alpha of their pack.My mom had the grace of a warrior and was the perfect person I had ever seen whenever a Luna was mentioned.Despite having the privilege at birth, she didn't let any of it get to her head.She was blonde and was not an airhead like most were. As far as I was concerned, she was the smartest blonde I had ever seen.I sighed as she glared at me.I noticed what that look meant.She had been against my wish to get a Luna from the human clan. She wanted me to wed one of the many girls in the pack she had put me with.Heck, she had arranged for me to wed one of her friend's daughters, who was my ex.But, according to the prophecy from the great seer, my mate was to be a human.I don't know if she would be my mate because when it comes to finding a mate in werewolves; it was complicated.At first, I had thought my ex, Adrina, would be my mate and had ignored the many signs that were present to ward off the thoughts.I had vowed to take her no matter what, and I had freaking marked her.I had marked her before, knowing she wasn't my mate. She wasn't the person that would bring out my innermost desire!I grunted whilst remembering the last time we were together and the disgust in her eyes when I told her about the great prophecy.But, since I had marked her, it was like I was marrying a second wife to add to the one I had.Even though Adrina and I were not legally bound, I was certain she was the only woman that would understand me. Despite what the seer had said.Also, I believed in the saying,' Every law has its loophole.'I don't know if the saying applied to what I felt at the moment or the situation I was going through. I was sure there would be a way out.~I should have known coming here was a mistake. The best you have ever done, and I wonder if I am going to be embarrassed again like the last time~ My mother said, through a mind link.I creased my brows whilst staring at her. By being embarrassed the last time, I knew what she meant.It wasn't my fault I had gone in search of a wife because the prophecy stated I should get her to love me or else I would go, berserker.But maybe it was my fault to have gone in search of her in a pub. I believed I deserved what happened afterward, since the girl who I found out was a teenager, although not much younger than I was. But she was of consensual age.I had set a bait for her to know if she was just another gold digger that wanted just a piece of me like most women, and she had proved to be like them.Even after the bait, I should have noticed the sign to know she wasn't as interested in me as I had thought. The darned girl had fled when she realized I was going to wed her.Again, I believed the desperation whenever I thought about what would happen to me if I didn't adhere to the prophecy had made me strike a deal with her parents. For their other daughter, which they seemed quite enthusiastic about.I didn't mind the amount they had asked to pay but was fascinated to know the reason they were so eager to lay her off.I know it wasn't the not-loving kind of love I received from most parents; they did love their daughter and I could see they were prepared to protect her even after receiving the money I believed was the dowry. Though they didn't say so.~You are so reckless, Sinclair. How long will you keep acting this way, rather than comply with what I want from you? You know it has always been the best~ Mother said again.~Don't you dare zone me out because you have been doing that, ~ She added with a scowl.I breathed out, then shrugged. ~It's not my fault, mother. You heard what the great seer had said…“Damned the seer.”Using my enhanced hearing, I heard her muttering under her breath.~Adrina isn't my mate. I know I marked her and all. But she shouldn't be with me~~Then find someone like you! Someone that you wouldn't have to hide from. A strong woman that knows how to do her thing and not a weakling that would cower away at the slightest sight of danger!~I breathed out, ignoring her outburst.Then I breathed in.My breath locked in my throat as a unique fragrance from the one in the cathedral wafted into my nostrils. I couldn't describe the feeling it ignited in me because it was foreign.But, funnily enough, I liked it.No, not me. My inner wolf liked it, which seemed strange.My inner wolf had always been locked away and only surfaced in a time of danger. It never comes out whenever a human was present.Not even when I thought Adrina was my mate.My heart palpitated as the fragrance got nearer, I swirled, and my eyes bored into the most beautiful turquoise blue eyes I had ever seen.Her lips, a perfect shade of pink, were full, and I had a strong desire to taste them, to see if they looked as good as they appeared.I shook my head whilst trying to clear my thoughts.My bride-to-be tilted her head and her eyes flickered here and there, perhaps, trying to avoid mine.I didn't need to ask anyone, or even her name, to know who she was.The last time I had seen her, I hadn't felt this strong desire toward her.She attracted me, but not to the extent of marking her.She was going to be the first human that would make me feel this way, and I wonder why it was happening.Also, how the hell was she my freaking bride?I asked over again in my head, but I couldn't come up with any answers.SINI tugged at my tie again as she stepped closer to me.I clenched my hands into a fist and gritted my teeth as my body reacted to her.I wanted to get this over with. The ceremony and all. But the priest and everything seemed slow suddenly.If given the opportunity, I would dart out of the cathedral without a second thought. I didn't care if I would get my mother mad in the process. At least, it would be better than staying next to her.I was aware werewolves couldn't control whom they mate with. Or worst, imprint on.But, I believed I should be able to control mine because I had spent years practising how to control my heightened emotion especially when the full moon was out since I triggered my curse on my eighteenth birthday.The memory was still fresh in my mind, and I was sure it was one of the things I would never forget because it was a part of me now.“You may kiss the bride.”My head snapped towards the priest as the word slipped out of his mouth.I glanced at my bride whil
ARTEMISIAThere were a lot of things I would not wish to happen to me. I had made a bucket list full of them.But, not in my wildest dreams would I have thought I was going to be the bride of the stranger I often fantasize about.Since the first day we met, which was two years ago, I hadn't seen him again until today.Yet, it didn't stop me from thinking about him regularly.Being wedded to him was nothing like I had imagined.I had thought him to be a sweet and caring man. Someone that would be my knight in shining armour whenever I was distressed.Someone that would comfort me whilst wrapping his muscular arm around me.It was absurd!I should not have thought of all that because I realized now that they were all wishful thinking.The man beside me, the freaking hunk that the minister had joined with me, was an obnoxious jerk.He wasn't like the man I had envisaged. Rather, the opposite.Although he hadn't made a lot of nasty comments with the ones I had heard him say, I wished I was
ARTEMISIAI was alone again when Julie left to take care of some stuff.Although she didn't tell me what it was, I guessed it was about boys.I had noticed she was staring at one of the guests in a somewhat sexy way and she had excused herself to go attend to him.I gagged as I imagined what they could be doing right now.Sighing whilst shaking my head to clear the thoughts of Julie and her maybe newfound sexual partner out of my mind, I sat on the chair quietly whilst observing my surroundings for the first time.The decoration had been done in my favourite colour which was lavender.Even though I was a girly girl, I wasn't quite interested in the colour pink.Rather, I found it overly revolting. At first, it didn't disgust me, until people began to think I was an airhead due to the colour I chose to wear often. Also, the colour of my hair might have contributed to it.I let in a deep breath as the cool wind caressed my face. I wonder if my parents had go
ARTEMISIA I let out a breath and watched Sin walk away from me, towards a room. Also, I was disappointed. He hadn't kissed me as I had thought he would. Maybe I was insane to have imagined he would, after shoving him the way I did.Sin looked to be in control more than I was. If he hadn't halted, I was sure I would have gripped his face and pressed my lips to his. "Ugh, crazy thoughts." I groaned, whilst fixing the strap of my dress he had pushed down. I walked towards the door he had gone into, twisted the knob, and peeked before entering the room. I hesitated at the doorpost whilst gazing around. It was a master bedroom with a large four-poster bed at the end. A mahogany walk-in closet was at the left corner of the room and an exquisite-looking vanity was at the side of the bed.Sin stood in front of the vanity. His back was to me, and I blushed as I stared at his unclothed body. His muscles ripped when he lifted his arm, and he swirled, gazing at me.His lips quirked whilst hi
ARTEMISIAI awoke with a start.My eyes darted around the room as I tried to recall the reason my heart was thumping fast.I was aware I had a nightmare. But, just like every other night, I couldn't remember what I had dreamt about.Sighing, I gripped my phone that was underneath my pillow and checked what the time was.I noticed it was only a few minutes past 10 which meant, I had slept after lying on the bed and it was only for a few minutes."Geez." I groaned whilst rubbing my tummy as it grumbled. I realized I hadn't eaten anything since after the wedding was done today.I had been thinking of what to do to get me out of the situation I was in, to think about food.I stepped out of the room to the kitchen which was together with the living room. My hand found the switch on the wall, light flooded into the room as I clicked on it.My eyes dimmed and I blinked several times before they got accustomed to the brightness.
SINI sighed whilst tossing on the bed. Standing up yet again for the umpteenth time tonight, I glanced at the sleeping figure of my wife curled up on the couch.I grimaced at the term. I doubt if I would get used to seeing her as one.The blanket she had taken from the wardrobe was wrapped around her small frame and she pulled it up to her face. So, I could only make out only her forehead as the moonlight streamed into the room. I knew I was rude and mean to her since we arrived in my glasshouse, but I didn't careMore so, I don't know why I was acting cold towards her. Because I could remember, no girl not even Adrina, my ex had ever made me feel so bothersome before.Perhaps, it was her scent. The intoxicating strawberry and grape perfume that she wore.Even her hair smelt similar because I had caught a whiff of it whilst at the cathedral when I tugged the veil covering her face away.My gaze snapped towards her a
ARTEMISIA“Where are we going?” I asked for the umpteenth time, staring at Sin.Whether he heard me or not, he didn't act like it. Rather, he went on dragging the luggage he had carried yesterday, including mine. He dumped them at the back of his car and walked to the driver's side.Since I woke up, I had noticed the change in his demeanour. But, he didn't tell me what was going on with him. Instead, he had been ordering me about to get ready.“Are you coming in or not?” He asked, turning on the ignition.“Where are we going?” I asked again.“You’ve barely answered any of my questions since morning.”“That is because I got no answer to your questions.” He said, nudging the door open for me.Even though he had no answer to my questions, at least he had the courtesy of opening the car for me.I slid into the ca
ARTEMISIAExhaling, I twirled my hair out of habit as I stepped towards a door that I believed was leading to the balcony.I twisted the doorknob and stepped out. Immediately cool air smacked my face.I let out a deep breath as the wind caressed my cheeks whilst lifting my eyes to the night sky, to stare at the stars as they glittered brilliantly.My eyes dimmed as I caught sight of a shadow lurking in what looked like a garden.I couldn't explain what or who it was since it was extremely dark and I was also far away.I shook my head and averted my gaze. Also, I attempted to think of something else to clear the thoughts of the shadow being from my head as it resurfaced."Perhaps, I should take a look," I say to myself whilst staring in the direction of the lawn.Shrugging, I step back into the hall and I notice everyone was still engrossed in the party.It was my perfect chance to sneak outs
ALLISON POVWhat could be worst than having a powerful witch point a deadly torch at you, calling you a cursed child on your joyous day?I doubt there was anything worst than that."She has the cursed mark!" Her voice was so loud it almost deafened me. I staggered backward as she moved towards me.Stumbling on my feet, I fell on the ground and stuttered. "W-what do you mean?"My wide eyes moved around the hall, and I saw everyone was frozen in place.It was as if time stopped, and only me and the great witch could move.She snarled. "This is no place for you, the evil one.""I am not evil!" I said firmly, offended by what she was saying to me.I didn't understand what was happening, but I wouldn't say I liked it.More so, what angered me the most was she had jerked me away from my wolf and accused me of what I didn't know of!"You are, and you shall die!" She said and pointed the torch at me once more.I saw it glow, and fire spewed out of it."Leave me alone!" My yelling helped those
ALLISON POVI had forgotten what today was due to the appearance of the black werewolf.Today was my twentieth birthday celebration and a debut for all young werewolves like me. Also, it was a day to usher out our wolves and be blessed by the great witch.Wolf ushering ceremonies were initially for people who had just had their eighteenth birthday. I was past that age.I was absent from my ushering ceremony on my eighteenth birthday because I was in a coma for two years. I didn't know what happened, but I was told I was left lifeless at the house's entrance, and whoever left me had masked their scent.I kept having flashes about what had happened, yet I could barely remember.Again, I had met my wolf already, but I didn't know what she looked like physically, seeing as I never tried to bring her out. It wasn't as if I hadn't tried; I couldn't.And today was my best bet. I'd get to meet my wolf, Jacy, and unlock all the added benefits it was to bring forth one's wolf. Agility, enhanced
CHASE POVI was given two months to find a mate, or I'd die a slow, painful death. So, I thought of capturing the first woman that came into view and locking her up in my room, beating her up until she agreed to mate with me, or declaring I was looking for a mate in my pack and watching a lot of women wait in line.But I wasn't a beater. I had never hit a woman before despite how annoying they were, and many of the women in my pack were only good as fúck buddies.Kicking at the carcass of the fox I had finished feasting on, I stared at the night sky as several howls resounded from afar.Standing up, I stretched my aching limbs and sniffled as a new scent wafted into the air.The hair on my body prickled, and my ears perked up.I dashed towards an opening and halted."Mate!" Ajax growled.I stared into my mate's eyes and doubted she knew who I was.Five hundred years of being hopeless, roaming the world, and searching for the cursed mate that was talked about in the prophecy. 'The cu
A DELTA FOR THE LYCAN KINGWhen her life got threatened by the great witch, Allison Stone, the Delta of the Blue Moon pack was forced to take refuge in the mysterious Alpha Chase's pack, whom she rejected. Allison realized they had some things in common; they were both cursed and running away from their respective pack. Both had the choice to mate with each other according to the prophecy or let the curse run its course and bring doom to the people around them. They settled on the former, and things were partially going great until she stumbled upon the secret he was hiding. Also, the reason for the grudges between him and her brother. Would she forgive him for keeping it away from her? A great war ensued in the heart of Merene, which needed the intervention of the two most mighty packs. How would Alisson convince her brother Chase wasn't who he believed him to be? And how would Chase make Sinclair believe he didn't do what he assumed he did?◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍ALLISON POVWhat could be w

ARTEMISIA “Hey.” I flashed a smile towards the platinum blonde that was carrying a toddler.She looked to be in her last trimester, and I was told she was Sin's distant family wife.We were having a girls' day out and discussing the past event.I learnt about what happened to Emma and Adrina the night after Sin and I made love. We had taken the night to reminisce and even the day after.It had been a joyous reunion not only for me but for everyone in the pack.I was happy, overly happy to be back home.I wonder what would have happened if I stayed a day in Chase's pack.Sin had told me he lost hope and wanted to give up on everything after he assumed I was dead.I wonder who did it- stained my cloth with blood to make it look like I died. Perhaps it was Chase. I recalled he had been trying to make me stay in his pack.Moreover, I was glad I arrived the day I did, and Goddess Trivia had urged me as well.“Did you hear from Emma again?” Julie asked.“I did,” I said with a sigh.I had f
ARTEMISIAI didn’t know what happened and the reason I began crying.But I believed it was because of the past pain I kept inside of me.The hurt I had bottled inside of me and I hadn’t let go of it until now.“Artemisia?”I nodded as he asked. He took two steps toward me and I did the same.I wrapped my arms around him and inhaled his fresh scent.Just like the Sin I know. Although he was a bit thinner and kind of unkempt with his overgrown hair and beards.He still smells like Sin. I inhaled and exhaled slowly.“I am sorry,” I mumbled. Even though he didn’t hug me back, I only wanted to feel his warmth. I didn’t care about him hugging me back.I missed him so much and I doubt words were enough to say how much I felt at the moment.“I’m sorry,” I repeated. Then I raised my head and brushed my lips against his cheeks.“Artemisia.” Sin said again.“It is me. I came back to you. I want this to work again.”“You are not dead?”I refrained from the embrace and stared at him.The uncertaint
ARTEMISIAA Month Later I smiled whilst glancing at my back. I left the Moonstone pack earlier, and I was glad it was on good terms.Likewise, I rejected Chase's offer and told him I'd rather be his younger sister.Although he waved it off and laughed stating siblings never kissed each otherBut it was fun being with him. I regained myself. I wasn't bitter like I was once whilst in Merene.And I had trained myself properly and took away the negative energy from me as I learnt from Mila and Goddess Trivia.Also, I learnt some new spells which might have come in handy whilst I was in Merene, and it would have enabled me to be more discerning.Goddess Trivia still appeared to me. And it was by her wisdom I was returning today.It hadn't been an easy task, but then, I didn't think it was even easier whenever I thought of all that I left behind.My home, my new family, and my mate, Sin.I wonder how he was faring. Perhaps, he had moved on and forgotten about me…“No,” I mumbled to myself.
SINOut of everything that I wanted to hear from her, I wasn't expecting that. But again, it didn't surprise me.Nonetheless, I was curious how Laurent, and she, had done it. I hadn't seen her with Laurent before. They never spoke.It was confusing, and I didn't want to assume anything yet as well because, for all I know, Emma was a liar.“Laurent?!”Adrina was the first to break the silence.“He did,” Emma affirmed. “I am sorry, Sinclair. Everything I did, I didn't know why I did it, and I wish I could see Artemisia to apologize.” She fell to the ground and sobbed harder.“Bitch!” Adrina yelled. “Tell me you are lying about what happened between you and Laurent. He didn't father that bastard in you?”“He did,” Emma said. “I wish I can say otherwise.”Adrina bristled and yanked on her hair. “I am doomed.”I did not know what she was talking about, and listening to Emma's tears got on my nerves.I sighted Laurent strolling towards where we were at the end of the hallway.He halted as hi
