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
VICTOR POVCRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAACCCCKKK!!I jerked my hand off the man's neck, letting go of the spine I had just snapped. Blood drizzled down my fingers, painting the warm air with the threat of rust. I hear the whimpers of the people in front of me. There were eight of them now, kneeling and bound with chains. Eleven, before I ripped a man's stomach out; hacked a woman's brain out of her skull, and pulled the spine out of another's body. Their eyes are washed with horror from the scene I so exquisitely bestowed them. I smile at them, "Hey, now, shouldn't you be honored to be here? I'm giving you a once in a lifetime lesson. A masterclass, if you will.. on how to die at my hands!"I lashed my hand at the woman's face, slapping so hard my palm stung. But it was a sensation that aroused a deep primal desire in me, making my wolf shudder with profane bliss. I held the woman's neck, dug my claws in her throat before bashing it directly on the floor. A melody of her bones popping followed and
ELEANOR "No." "No." "No." "Sorry, no." "No, I'm very sorry, Ms. Raven." "No." "I apologize for the inconvenience, Ms. Raven." "No." I sigh as my hands fall to my side. My knees weaken at the countless and repetitive rejection my ears heard from the people I've sought employment from. I swerve from the sidewalk to the alley that seemed to offer comfort and silence for lost souls like me. The afternoon sun was blazing in its warm delight, washing my face with an orange hue. I sniff the air and note the thousand scents that ambled around me. There's the bakery across the street with its holy bread enticing every sense I had. There's the scent of unique flowers. Ones I've never seen before back in our wolf territory. There's that alluring smell of sophisticated women's necks as they walk confidently on the street, their expensive-looking bags glittering over their waists. The scent of men's cologne lingered around as I glance at several businessmen. Everything about his human ci
