VERONYKAI cross my arms against my breasts, staring at the so-called alpha in front of me disappointedly. I tsked when he suddenly snaps his eyes awake and jerks his head upwards, pushing his back against the chair as he squints his eyes into empty space. I'm not surprised at all if he doesn't even look at me leaning against the wall, watching him for the past hour. My brows furrowed just watching him from a distance. Shoulders slumped, messy hair that made him look like he hadn't taken a shower for the past three days, and body reeking of alcohol and cigarettes. Grabbing the last bottle of whiskey on the table in front of him, he grips the neck and chugs down almost half the whiskey before I sauntered over towards him.Rage fuels me up inside just watching him spend away his days doing nothing but get wasted until past midnight. I grab the neck of the bottle in his hand, but his grip was stronger than mine"Alex, enough! You shouldn't be wasting your life because of that stupid
VERONYKAShit!I scramble to my feet and turn around fast as I can. Forgetting the ache on my feet and legs, I find myself running aimlessly away from the rogue. He roars before kicking his paws as he chased after me deeper into the woods. My heart is thumping wildly against my chest while I kept looking back to check whether there's still enough distance between us.He was getting closer. My knees are slowly getting weak, and my body is screaming to stop. But I fought against it. There's no point in stopping now when I've already come all this way just to get that stupid human back. I groan inwardly as I picture that human begging Alex for his mercy. If she hadn't rejected him in the first place, none of this will ever happen. I grunt to myself.Suddenly, I felt the rogue's filty breath on my skin. Glancing sideways for a brief period of time, I see the rogue open its mouth slightly just a few inches away from me. Just then, I snapped my head back north as I used all energy withi
VERONYKAI let out a piercing scream as something inside me pushed me to the ground, and I landed on all fours. My nails dug into the soil, and I shook my head several times from side to side. A low growl then rumbled through my chest, and I felt my heart pounding rapidly as an unfamiliar feeling came over me.I threw my head back feeling a sharp pain shoot throughout my entire body, forcing me to squeeze my eyes together while my lips parted widely, screaming out in the horrible, agonizing pain of my first turn.My vision is blurry, and I could barely make out the man's figure as he shakily held onto the tree for support. He was muttering something incoherent under his breath within only a few meters away from my spot."Aaaaahhhhhh!" I shouted, closing my eyes instinctively as another shocking wave of pain coursed right through me. The next moment, the ripping sound of my clothes being torn apart echoed through the silent forest, and I felt my body rise from the ground. I force my
ALEXANDER"FUCK!" I quickly kick the doors of the bathroom open and find my way towards the toilet, kneeling before it and gripping the marble with every bit of remaining strength in my hands. My head hangs lower and closer to the toilet seat, disgusting me to the core, although I knew this was easier than letting myself go on the floor. I open my mouth and, in a second, colored liquid gushes out and into the drain, staining the white marble a loathsome scent and a foul hue. I heave again and the toilet is run with more of the revolting liquid, making me clench harder.Fuck, fuck, fuck!How low has the mighty fallen? I am Alexander Wade. The one and only alpha of the Silver Wood Pack. I am the strongest, the greatest! So, why am I kneeling like a fucking runt with no power in my arms and legs? To think that getting drunk would make me weak.I was hurling my guts out while my head spun dangerously. My stomach twisted at the smell of whiskey and gin and of spirits with names I can't eve
ALEXANDERI close the room's door and stare blankly at the air. My mate's curse. Her willingness to reject me to save me. Her sacrifice. Poor girl. She has suffered so much. She must have thought I'd look at her differently just because of some stupid legend floating around the common tongue. To think she had thoughts of me denying her rends my heart into pieces. Then again, I made mistakes. I'm not human but I'm not a saint either. If only I had treated her better, then she wouldn't have gone so far as to keep her secret from me. If only I had shown him an alpha she could trust, then..Eleanor, I breathe weakly, swallowing the sweet name's taste on my tongue and expelling the scent of Veronyka's lips. I can't believe I just violated my little sister. I'm the worst. But it was necessary. Veronyka isn't someone who gives up easily after a few punches. She's bound to get back up when she falls. She's relentless. Not to mention, her mouth. If she pipes the same information she relayed to
ELEANORI carry the last of my luggage to the car and place it gently on its trunk. I freeze as my hands detach from the bags. A sigh parts my lips, making me think twice about what I'm doing. My chest clenches. Part of me was shaking my arm, telling me to dash and go. But then, another part of me hesitates, causing me to stand still as a statue. I don't want to turn around. Because if I did, I would lose the strength in my knees to leave.A voice chimes from behind, "Is there something wrong?"I shake my head, still frozen in place. There's nothing wrong, is there? I'm finally getting what I want. To leave my pack, to start anew even if it meant hiding in a sea of humans and keeping my wolf a secret. Ares nods inside me. She understands. She knows that this is all for the sake of our safety. And the safety of others. So tell me, why are my feet planted on the ground as if they're unwilling to move? As if they're expecting something? Waiting for someone?I grit. He's not coming. I reje
UNKNOWN POVThe doors opening and closing prompted me to spin on my heel and walk away. Act normal. My ears have been itching for a long time now. I haven't even heard of that phony little bitch who thought she could just run away and make it all disappear. Then what? The fates won't let her get her freedom anywhere in this world, no matter where she turns to hide, or how hard she tries to conceal it. She is destined, that's why I'm not worried even if she runs a thousand miles away from here. She'll keep coming back, and then she'll be a pawn to my game. The very thought of playing out the pieces of my game excited me to no end, and I wished for nothing but to see the girl return to his arms once again. That's right. Once they are back together, I'll kill them both in one stone. A sinister-looking grin covered my face, and I couldn't help but feel delighted at the thought which sparkled in my mind when I heard the news. This time, I decided the innocent little Eleanor will be p
ALEXANDERI took a sharp turn, swerved with my body and spun the wheel under my palms. I was fast, driving faster, but my heart seemed to contend with the two, lashing the fastest. I seek the goddess's guide with my wolf quivering inside, hoping, praying that my mate was still there. I had no time to breathe as I pulled the clutch and slid down the car. My fingers throbbed, my palms burned, and my fangs stung. Needless to say, I was racing against time, hastening with speed, and hustling with gravity.My legs propel me to the Dark Moon's Pack territory. Dashing through their widely opened gates before getting out of the car abruptly.I didn't bother to knock, nor did I waste any moment to wait for anyone to get to the door. I rammed my foot at the door and pulverized all the glass that held the house up. My wolf cursed but I paid him no mind.'You'll get us in real trouble, Al.' He huffs. I scoffed at him.'And you're being a pussy, Loke.' I hiss at him. The next moment, a tall man o
