31. Practising with the rogue... Oops, Alpha!
The arrival of new dawn brought about a new change in alpha Alan and Lisa's lives. They woke up grinning at each other as their hands have combined together in a perfect hold while they were asleep. It seemed more comfortable when Lisa shied and let her palm hold Alan's tight.
She had purposely done it because she was feeling scared at night as the bits of her birthday evening occurred in the form of a bad nightmare, and to keep herself warm and calm, she silently took his hand in her hold and slept peacefully.
"You can also hold me tight if you want to, I wouldn't mind it." He had said and the following night she exactly did the same.
They came close to each other within a span of five nights. And when it was the sixth night, they were already sleeping together in one blanket that Alan had stolen from the market.
I'm extremely sorry for being late, my aunt passed away and I had a difficult time recovering fr om the loss. Please forgive me for being late with your update.
32. Alpha king, Jonah. The night sky was aglow with the pale crescent moon radiating like a silvery claw in the night sky. The twinkling blanket of stars stretched to infinity as on the seashore a hunchback halted, holding a torn leather bag hugged near his chest. He had his upper body draped with a thin black cotton shawl. With his free arm he yanked out a small rowboat that was kept hidden under a pile of leaves and twigs, looking as weak as his long fingers. He dragged it out and plunged it under the water. Having himself seated on the middle platform he got hold of the oar which was lying under his feet and dipped it in the water. The sea was not silent, the winds were roaring continuously as they rolled over before the first gust subsided. Under the force, the black veil from his head flew backwards and revealed his countenance. It was as dark as the eclipse. His lips were thick and chapped. His nose was
33. Alpha Alvares, a walking calamity. "Alpha king, I have brought a mind blowing news for you this time." He forced a smile neglecting the increasing pain in his mouth as it was also oozing out thick scarlet liquid. "Really? Then what are you waiting for? Blow our minds with your news, stupid clown." Jonah announced, resting back in his throne he crossed his left leg over the right one. The aura around him was so tense and disgusting that even the flames of beacon lights around them could not avoid it. They flickered as though there were intense winds striking them when in reality there was nothing. It was because of his dangerous persona that made the environment heated. While the air grew thickly tense, came the hunchback forward holding his head. He had pressed the end of his dirty serape on the cut while his eager eyes brightened and widened when his mouth began,
34. Preparing her for a war Alpha Alan's POV “Look at the target carefully. Do not let the view of the rabbit leave your sight. Stay focused and swiftly let the arrow go.” Lisa shook her head with a slow hmm as she watched across her at the sable brown rabbit sniffling near a plant. “Concentration is everything for an archer besides his deep eyes.” I added further as I helped her hold the bow firmly in her hand with the arrow aiming at the rabbit. She didn't react or say a thing but stared at her front at her target while I was standing behind her back. My fingers were on her wrists, chest pressing in her back as I was helping her claim her first hunt. In this one month my little mate has learned quite a lot of things. I feel proud while saying this that my mate is a warrior. I always knew that a little investment in her and towards her training, and she would do better.
35. Jeremy, the man of her dreams! Lisa's pov "You are always so quick, Alan. You impress me with your flexibility." I smiled to myself since the fire was lit up and the platform on which I would be toasting my rabbit was also set by Alan. He was not around, I could smile and praise him as much as I wanted without being shy and blushing. This guy has been my strength. He taught me what my brother couldn't for years just within two months of practice. I should appreciate his skills in the first place. They are too sharp and the way he teaches is as good as his own moves. Alan has trained me to a certain extent that I can defend myself easily if I am alone. His tricks and secret tips are helpful and I can survive without him. This also ensures that I am ready to begin my further journey— the journey beyond the woods, to the alpha's pack house.
36. Making fun of my kindness? Alan's POV A coppery shiver trailed down my neck, I saw my mate jump in another wolf's arms and squeeze him right under her hug as she sobbed near his neck. "Jeremy, I can't believe you came for me. I.... I missed you so much. I really missed you!" Sudden dread and sense of coldness took over my body, I watched her with betrayed eyes as she sobbed in his arms. "I was alone, Jeremy. I felt too lonely. I had no one to share my pain." Slow and shaky smile crept on my lips hearing her say that. Was she making fun of my kindness? I bloody had been here for more than two months with her. I left my pack, my people and the cubs who have seemingly come out of danger after a period of agonizing pain. Yet there she was saying that she was lonely. "What took you so long, Jeremy? Say something. Please." She choked on her
37. Red Witch. Brave City, Adrian was on a round in the markets of the pack. He observed kids gleefully laughing and playing here and there amidst the sound of vendors calling for customers to buy their products. He had a team of seven soldiers following him in armour. They were being gawked at by she-Wolves, ogled at, nevertheless their eyes remained straight and focused, gaping at the front as they concentrated on their job. The workload due to alpha's disappearance increased on beta Adrian's shoulders. It was hard but not impossible. He was loving his work more than before given that the ever so annoying ministry from the pack was demolished. He and his gamma with the commander of the army were the ones who looked into the matter of the pack. Leading a pack never seemed so fun as it did now. "Long live beta Adrian!" Adrian acknowledged the greetin
38. Jealous alpha? Alan swore he needed to get out of that place not because his wolf was burning in fire of jealousy but because he wanted to gulp some fresh breaths of air. Unluckily, the atmosphere also changed immensely after Jeremy's arrival. The air felt stale and the winds had stopped. His skin burned and the sweat beads thickened on his forehead. Alan mopped them away with the back of his hand as he rotated to glance back at Lisa and Jeremy. They were as quiet as a dry leaf on the surface of land. Standing together, still in each other's arms, they inhaled each other's cologne. Though his wolf angrily growled in his chest and forced him to separate Lisa from the new guy, Alan preferred to follow his Beta's call. 'Alan, we don't have time to waste. Come with me NOW.' He heard on his mind link beta Adrian's serious yet grievous tone. "Uh, it's gonna be dark soon... I will go fet
39. The message The hair on the back of Alpha's neck stood to attention as an arc of lightning shot down his spine. He stiffened at the same time shocked gasps and a cacophony of low murmurs erupted like a wildfire in the atmosphere covered in green. Red Witches were females born as the descendants of fire. Their red curly hair denoted the flames of scorching dancing flames. Their scarlet eyes could see the future once they saw your face even in a crowd. Long and ruby red nails on their hands could kill someone worse than the pang of a pointed blade. They were dangerous as they devoted the lord of light. A lord that was as powerful as the moon goddess. Red Witches and Wolves had a history of combat, wars for power and recognition, blood bath and revenge. Though a peace agreement was signed centuries ago between the progenitors of the two clans, the descendants never forgot the past. Their encounters always witnessed d
(LAST) Lisa retired to Alan— correction, their room now, in the middle of the feast as she could not control her emotions any longer. He had scared her to suppress her tears but now she wanted to pour them out. Stopping them was making her feel sick. Having come back to the room, she locked the door and threw herself on the bed. He was bad. She dug her face in the pillow crying her heart out as she thought about him. He didn't make her feel good at all. Even during the feast, for whatever time she stayed down there, he ignored her. He didn't hold her hand when he was introducing her as Luna. Alan didn't even shower her with a gaze of love when the oracles put around her shoulders the cloak of Luna and put the crown on her head. He was such a bad mate. Thinking about what happened she was weeping in the pillow when from the window, Alpha Alan entered.
77. She was making him fall in love with herself harder and harder. Putting the curtains back, she came back to bed and settled on it. Her eyes burned but she didn't let tears spill. She was marked. She was accepted. She was taken as the Alpha's Moonborn mate. Nevertheless, she was still not wanted. At least that is how it was seeming to her given that he didn't come to check upon her even for once post that one meet before his leave. After he returned, she tried to hug him but he refrained her from doing so. The guests he's bought with himself were more important to him because rather than consoling her restlessness, he escorted them inside the castle while she was left there with a petrified Adrian who was lost in his own predicament. He played matchmaker for his beta as well as her brother but ignored his own mate. He ignored her. Having saved her from killing herself, he
76. Waiting for him restlessly The rest of the day Lisa spent waiting for Alan. He'd promised to come to her once his undone work was finished but there was still no sign of him. She was fine now. Thanks to the healers for giving her medicines that worked quickly, boosting her recovery. Since she was a Moonborn and now satisfied with her life for being marked, her wolf worked upon helping heal her. The fever was gone. Her weakness too. Lisa relished the day going around the huge castle with Jenny. Initially, her nerves tensed up when Jenny came to see Lisa in Alan's chambers. But her disclosure of not being his mistress anymore made Lisa sweep on the bed in relief. Since she was not his mistress any more but a close friend, she developed a friendly bond with Jenny within no time. The two of them moved around the castle with Sebestian joining them at a moment. He was hap
75She was marked by him.***Her smile was widening. She failed in life as a princess, she was going to win as an individual.This death was not really a defeat but her victory over her agonies she bore and a rejection she got despite being Moonborn.The cold water really put her mind off. What could be better than sucking some water in her lungs and ending it without much pain? Lisa left her hands loose and parted her mouth.The liquid made her feel dead already as she was in a fever. She had been weak as long as she woke up from her three days deep traumatized sleep. And this cool chilling water was only making her feel half dead.As she blew inside aiming to fill her lungs with water, a strong hold grasped her elbow in a painful hold and yanked her in the opposite direction of her drowning.It happened real quick yet she had already gulped some wate
74"I am going to bring my mate back." — Alpha Alan***Alpha Alan's POV"Lisa!"I stopped in the middle of my room looking at the spot I had left her some while back.'Where is she? Where did she go, Alan?'My wolf gulped his emotions for there was only her gown lying on the floor but her.I quickly went ahead to pick it up. Bringing it near my face I pressed it on my cheek to feel her. Her scent filled my lungs as I inhaled it. I hugged it to my chest as I fell on my knees.Her gown was torn which only meant she shifted into her wolf and possibly jumped out of the window. I got up to look outside the huge window while hugging her dress, trying to feel her.I really pissed her so much that she preferred to shift into her wolf and went away .Went away? That rang in my head like a caco
73"Please don't do this to me. I am sorry. I am sorry, Alan."***Lisa barged inside his room like a tornado. She was afraid to see him in bed with his mistress but astonishment widened her eyes for he was sitting near the huge window with her in his lap.She grew more amazed and fearful when she peered at Jenny from head to toe. She was really pretty. It was a face Lisa can't compare her beauty with. She was perfection personified. A figure any man would want to own. Deep dark eyes any guy would want to get lost in them.Her slender fingers remained pressed against his shoulders so tenderly that it made Lisa gulp her saliva. She was really gorgeous and looked like a possession an alpha would obsessively keep with himself. That moment Lisa really felt little in front of her. And the way Alan's hands held her, Lisa felt like crying her heart out. It was a possessive hold as though he owned her exclusively&mda
72"I didn't really mean when I said you can punish me however you want, Alpha Alan."****Lava-like eyes burning in the flames of utter aggression froze her. His hands caught her shoulders and pushed her back against a wall.Lisa stopped breathing when he came closer. Their faces remained just a hair-breadth apart as he grumbled. She regretted saying that, there was nothing she could do to unsay it regardless."Had I told you to go with him? Was it I who told you I don't need your help anymore? Was it I who asked us to take our different routes that day? No Lisa, it wasn't me. It was you who wanted to go with him. So whatever you went through— was the outcome of your own choice." She gasped as a shiver of pain racked her spine.His voice was raw and sea deep. His eyes portrayed animosity his words wanted her to feel. Although her eyes streamed at that feeling, Lisa summoned courage and lifted
71 "Then why are you here, princess? Go to your first choice." — Alpha Alan **** That night Lisa realized that life was harsher than what she has seen so far post she woke up in a medical room. She found herself surrounded by medics who were dressing her head and checking her pulse. "Lie down, princess. You are weak." One of them, a woman with a vibrant expression, said as she pressed her hand on Lisa's shoulder so she laid down in the bed she was in. Lisa looked at her side. There was her brother. His face was tight and he was clenching his jaw. His eyes were moist too. When he observed her looking at him, a tear dribbled down his left eyes and he immediately grasped her hand. "There's no way he'd melt, Lisa. Let's go home." His voice was heavy and serious. Sebestian portrayed concern only a brother would show to his beloved sister. She wa
70. "I didn't save you and your pack because I cared for her. My care and affection toward her died long ago when she walked on me with that cousin of yours." — Alpha Alan. **** Lisa clutched her brother's hand to stabilize herself. Her knees started wobbling right after her eyes found Alpha Alan. She had been confident and recognized what she was supposed to do once they reached the Brave Blood Pack's castle. However now, she felt her hopes and courage melting into mush. Sweat covered her back like a sheet of moss on water. She found it difficult to breathe as she looked into those eyes. They were dark... Like the clouds of a stormy evening. They were ready to pour but they didn't as if they were trying to get even darker. "I will call him here." That sound of Adrian's voice sounded pleasing to her ears otherwise her heart beats were the only thing audible to herself. "
