EZEKIEL Eight years ago… “No, I won’t apologize.” I grumbled walking away from my father’s office. “EZEKIEL!” Clenching my fists, I stop in my tracks and make a hundred-eighty degree turn, facing my dad who shot me a stern look from his office table. “What?” I ask, biting back my own tears and frustration as I stared at him. Dad wants me to apologize to that fucking bastard. Tyler. I was going to kill him, but my father had suddenly appeared and shielded that lucky pervert. When he should've been there protecting me. My father didn't see it but even if he did, I doubt he would actually do anything to help me anyway. Tyler was my friend. Until one day, he invited me for a drive, saying he wanted to introduce me to some of his friends. He drove me deeper into the forest. I wondered why but I kept quiet. After all, I trusted him. An hour and a half later we arrived at a run-down house
61ELEANOR I turn my head only to see a massive jet black wolf lunge straight at them, catching three of the men off guard whilst the three others backed away almost immediately after he attacked. There was one huge gray wolf trudging close behind him and he started attacking the others too. Dumbfounded, I watched the scene wide-eyed with my mouth agape while they growl and claw violently at each other. Canines descending like daggers from their rabid mouths. Their ears were closed down their foreheads, and their nozzles crinkled as they growled. Vaguely aware that I was naked, I look around and see an extra large, dirty white button-down polo shirt lying on the ground. Hugging my fully-exposed breasts, I reached out and grabbed it from the ground. This will have to do.I fumbled for the shirt’s opening before tossing it over me. It was big and long, and it touched below my knees but I’m grateful for it. Relieved to finally have some clothing to cover my exposed skin, I sigh
ALEXANDER She’s gone. I woke up at exactly 8 in the morning, only to find my mate missing from her side of the bed. I initially thought she went to shower, but when I got up and opened the bathroom door, she wasn’t there. That’s weird. I sniffed the air. Having had caught a whiff of her sweet, lavender scent lingering below in one corner, I lowered my gaze. My eyes scanned the garbage can, picking up Eleanor’s lace underwear I had ripped off her last night. I feel my dick harden thinking about how I ran my fingers along her wet clit and pumped them inside her. Her soft moans echoed through my ears, as though I was reliving that night in the present. She’d looked so perfect, and so fucking mine. I lift the slightly damp area of her panties to my nose, inhaling the sweetness of scent that rose from between her milky thighs. I sigh after taking a long sniff before turning around to close the door. I toss her underwear on the bed, wondering why she had discarded it anyway. But that
ALEXANDER “Alex!” I hear Elijah’s voice resonating through the background. Nevertheless, I quicken my pace and hop into my car before he can say anything to stop me. Half an hour later, I arrived at Linda’s shop. I strode through the door and scanned the shop, vaguely aware of how my eyes glowed when I saw her standing near a rack. Taking hurried steps forward, I clenched my fists as my eyes fixed on her now-pale face. All her sales ladies staring at me gasped and clung to one another as I grabbed her neck, crashing her head hard against the brick wall. She gasped, instantly clutching on my arm as she desperately tried to loosen my firm grip. Her big, gray eyes that looked at me with utter fear widened, brimming with tears. “What did you say to her?” I growled while I squeezed her neck. She looked at me with furrowed brows, probably in a daze. “Al..pha” It took me a moment to realize I’m already strangling her out of rage. But more than that, I was afraid. Not wanting to be c
ALEXANDERI immediately let go of her shoulders. My brows still furrowed at her in confusion.I made a lazy step back whilst Linda stepped forward from her position on the wall. After inhaling a few deep breaths and smoothing down the wrinkles of her skirt, she spoke."I'm a doomsayer." People in the room gasped in open disbelief at her sudden confession.She lowers her head, refusing to meet my curious gaze pointed at the look of guilt evident in her face.I straightened my posture and squared my shoulders, trying to get my shit together if I wanted to find my mate fast. Blinking, I tried to erase that image of Eleanor pointing her fingers towards me as I collapsed on the floor. That image where we were surrounded with a large, heavy pool of blood that rippled with her own tears.I clenched my fists by my sides then drew in a deep breath in a bid to calm my ass down before my wolf takes over and g at her."Tell me all you know," I command, my voice sounding rough and husky, making
ELEANORCoby and Alpha Ezekiel didn't utter a word until we reached their pack house. Ezekiel insisted that he carry me on his back. He said his territory was a long way from here, so walking is really not an option. It would take me days before I even get there. I had considered shifting into my wolf, but that can't be an option either. At least, I need to find the right time to shift, but I felt guilty riding on his back knowing I had my own wolf.Nonetheless, I accepted his offer and hopped on his back. His wolf was really huge. I wonder what Alexander's wolf look like? The thought of Alexander changed my whole mood all of a sudden. I told myself I wouldn't think of him. I laughed when I find myself still thinking of him wherever I go. And now here I am. Before I let sadness consume me, I shook my head and tried to focus on clinging to Ezekiel's back.About two hours later, he stopped at a gate. Immediately, the guards opened it for us and they ushered us in.I gasped at the si
ELEANORIt was cold, I stared blankly at my reflection in the mirror while I rested my head against the stone wall. My hands clutched my knees firmly, chapped lips unable to move. In my reflection, I could see my skin glowing brightly. The absence of those gruesome scars I've grown so accustomed to had sent the fear of god right through me, and for some reason I couldn't accept it.I longed for them, longed to be a normal werewolf. Hell, I even dreamed I could be just a normal human being one day. Simply living my life in blissful ignorance of curses and wolves.But unfortunately, this is my reality. My world, a place I could never escape from. I focused only on things such as breathing and blinking, desperate for a distraction. Something...Anything that can temporarily remove me of this world I'm trapped in.I sat there for what felt like a whole eternity before I finally decided to gather my bearings. Realizing that no matter how long I dwell in my fucked-up life, it will remain f
67 ELEANOR “Z-ZEKE?!” My hand shot up to cover my mouth as I batted my eyelashes at him one more time. Utter shock and disbelief swept through me, making me lose balance and almost tripping to the floor. Had it not been for Zeke who dashed his arms out to catch me when I tripped, my head would have already hit the hard surface with a painful thud. “Woah, easy there.” He chuckled, helping me get back up on my feet. I didn’t take my eyes off him even as he took several steps back, creating a decent gap between us. “I…It’s been years..” I lowered my head, suddenly feeling embarrassed to not have been able to remember him at our first meeting in the Winder’s dinner. So Zeke is an alpha… When I first met him months after that night, I always thought he was a rogue. The fact that he is indeed an alpha explains why he has such a strong scent, much like Alexander’s. Since I never saw his human form, I was hardly able to recognize him as the same wolf who saved me from being raped year
