The two-hour sleep provided me with the comfort I was looking for. I woke up with an agonizing pain between my legs. Groaning, I sat up straight against the headboard and found Martin away from the bed. It was almost morning and it seemed like he hadn't slept."What are you looking at?" I asked.He lifted his head and glanced, "Nothing," I heard a click before the phone on his hand was switched off and thrown over the table. "Nothing you need to worry about,"I grew more concerned, "What is it?"Martin didn't answer me. "Nothing,"I hopped off the bed and grabbed his hand before he could scurry away, "Tell me,""I was informed a weeks ago-before everything happened, that there was a gathering of the werewolf council in Queens," He replied, narrowing his eyes down and grabbing his phone again.Queens was a city nearby, also filled with werewolves.It was ruled by the werewolf council and the elders who resided there. Most of the laws and punishments came from them, the oldest and smart
It was so cold. I felt my pulse quicken as I felt my feet imprinted on the grounds of broadway. The air thickened around me as I began to run quicker than I use to before. They were running after me in their wild forms. My canines brushed against my lips as I felt they getting closer to me . The moon was crimson red. Bones cracked as I shifted into a devilish looking werewolf. I dashed my way out of the woods. The others did not stop, they continued their chase as if I was the only lone wolf in the universe. They have been trying to hunt me down for over four years now. However something was different , they were faster, sharper and stronger. The alpha must have sent great warriors. I guess my blood was precious enough for him to send this great warriors. My heart pumped blood. Shallow breaths made their way out of my lungs. My limbs were sore from all the running. I wondered how much longer I could run away from them. It has been over 6 hours now. I was exhausted. The sun has droppe
Sun shone through the thick clouds as I made my way through the pavements of Broadway. The city was large but the population continued to overgrow because of the population of more werewolves . The morning scent of fresh, warm cakes made its way to my nostrils and I took in a deep breath.It smelled delicious and alluring but I could not get it for myself so I stepped ahead and walked into the building.I glanced at the time - perfect. I was not late. "I'm Clara Darwin and I'm here for the interview for the position of the marketing manager," I said to the receptionist. She nodded her head and picked up the phone resting beside her.A few words uttered out of her mouth and then she closed the call."Mr. Jameson is in his office. It's on the sixth floor to the right," she responded with a smile on her face. I nodded my head and stepped inside the glass elevator that took me to the sixth floor.The building was large but I'm was amazed. I was thankful for landing on a good interview af
The hideous howls echoed through the woods for the rest of the evening. I stayed indoors as the blood moon appeared on the pitch-black sky. The woods were closeby to my apartment. I kept pretending not to notice the wolves nearby and the night overall. I didn't want a mate. And I was sure of that but my wolf yearned for a touch - a touch that belonged to our mate.I stood by my kitchen and watched the water boil. My phone started to ring and I picked it up."Hey, how are you?" Sarah asked. "Are you at work?""Nope and I'm good. What about you?""I'm good too. Do you have any plans for tonight? I feel like going clubbing but only if you're up for it!" she asked."Not tonight, hun. I can't leave my room,""Why?"“It’s the blood moon.,remember!""Oh," She trailed off, sounding surprised. "I almost forgot. So, you haven't gone out the whole day?""No, I did go out in the morning but came back quickly. I have no intention of stepping out of my room,"Cindy laughed, "But you might just fin
Unable to move, I froze underneath his wolf as I tried to get a control of my thoughts.No. No. No. This couldn't happen. This was all a mistake. I wasn't supposed to be out here. I wasn't supposed to meet my mate.The strong black wolf backed away from me, allowing me to stand on my own.My claws dug inside the mud as I looked up straight at him. Who was this man? The aura surrounding around him was stronger and more vicious compared to Mr. Jameson. It came to me as a shock as I came into realization that he was the Alpha.I was mated to the Alpha - that one male I had been running away from, that one male that tried to kill me on a dozen occasions - I was mated to him.Fuck me.The wolf in front of me snapped and shifted into his human form. Underneath the moonlight, he leaned down and pressed his hand against my furry body.It was at that moment I lost myself in his eyes. His hair was jet black, messy but still tamed. He had a stubble beard that hid his sharp jaw. Oh, those lips. T
"We will be requiring a new marketing strategy for one of our new products that we will be releasing in a few months." Mr. Jameson handed me over the files. "Here are all the details you'll require for the process. You have a team along with you so this should be pretty easy. Use your creative mind!" he further continued to explain. He stood a short distance from me but defiantely more taller than me. I narrowed my eyes down to the papers he had given me.After everything that went down on the blood moon, I decided to stay here and continue with my life. Why should I leave anyway? The Alpha wasn't aware of who his mate was, he only knew bits like the color of my wolf whilst I knew everything about him - or things I needed to know. I was panicking for absolutely no reason.But worse of all, I had touched myself while I was drunk.I opened my mouth to speak to Mr.Jameson but his phone started ringing. He raised his finger in my direction before picking up the call. I rocked back and fo
Mr. Jameson was surprised. The color from his face vanished away as his eyes sniped at me. My pulse started to beat rapidly. My bones were in immense pain with the forceful transformation. I never knew the others had something like that. Whatever the man injected inside me was fucking my body up.Warm blood oozed out of my skin and onto my arms. Before I could ever run or get up from the ground, the two wolves behind me shifted and grabbed my arms. They locked it behind my back and pushed me against the dirt.An ear-piercing scream forced its way out of my mouth. My fists clenched and my nails dug deep inside my palm.Anger, pain, and despair flashed in front of me as I came into terms that I was defeated."Wait-" I heard Mr. Jameson speak. "There is something wrong. She can't be the rogue,""Do you know her James?" The other man presumed leader--asked Mr.Hyde."Yes."Well, she is a wolf, the wolf we have been hunting down for ages. This bitch is the fucking rogue," The man kneeled d
"Do I know you?" I had a bundle of responses ready for the question the Alpha had asked me but I wasn't sure what I wanted to tell him. The truth? No, he called me a whore."Yes, I'm the wolf you and your peasant warriors have been chasing." I blurted out-not wanting to call myself a rogue.I was nowhere near that.The Alpha wasn't pleased with my response. I sneaked a look at him and he didn't look good at all. His jaw clenched as rage took over his body.Alpha's despised being insulted and I was doing more than insulting here."You have a smart mouth," My mouth could do a lot more things than just speaking but I kept that aside for now.The Alpha's behavior with me would decide our future. "Get up," His body radiated a raw and primal strength as he ordered in a dominating tone.My naked knees brushed against the solid ground as I got up. As expected, he was way taller than me. I barely reached up to his chest. In the woods, he looked like a magnificent, naked god but now--meh."Wha
The two-hour sleep provided me with the comfort I was looking for. I woke up with an agonizing pain between my legs. Groaning, I sat up straight against the headboard and found Martin away from the bed. It was almost morning and it seemed like he hadn't slept."What are you looking at?" I asked.He lifted his head and glanced, "Nothing," I heard a click before the phone on his hand was switched off and thrown over the table. "Nothing you need to worry about,"I grew more concerned, "What is it?"Martin didn't answer me. "Nothing,"I hopped off the bed and grabbed his hand before he could scurry away, "Tell me,""I was informed a weeks ago-before everything happened, that there was a gathering of the werewolf council in Queens," He replied, narrowing his eyes down and grabbing his phone again.Queens was a city nearby, also filled with werewolves.It was ruled by the werewolf council and the elders who resided there.

"Another vision?" The bed creaked as Martin rose and asked.The blood drained from my face as I placed the cold glass of wine back on the table before standing up."No," I huffed, "Just a nightmare," Philip was the terrible nightmare I had seen tonight after seeing George and everyone.George and I were of the same age but he was never forced into any training. He went to school whilst I was dragged away from it. Davis not only ruined my mental health but he also came between my studies.He crushed my dreams and hopes. It wasn't just his fault.It wasPhilip’s fault as well and that bastard was long dead."Come here," Martin said, lengthening his arms.I mustered up courage and got over the bed to lay beside him. His arms curled around my body that was only covered with a thin, satin robe. I placed my head over his chest and tried to remove the terrifying images of Davis and Philip."What happened?""Just a nightmare,""What was it about?" His low, raspy voice was a music to my ears.
When we returned to the entrance of the packhouse, I found a few people standing outside with the guards beside them. I moved aside from Martin and looked over at them."George?" He turned around and looked at me."Clara?"I laughed, grabbing him and hugging him tightly, "What are you doing here?""Didn't you say that we could come here?""Oh, yeah, I forgot."I stopped smiling when I heard a growl behind me. I looked behind and found Martin, not really happy."This is George, we used to study together when we were children and he was my best friend then." I explained to Martin before he assumed anything else."Is that all?"I nodded my head, "Yes,"Okay, I will be in. Let me know if you need anything," Martin said before walking inside the packhouse and ignoring everyone's existence.I was grateful to get my old pack members inside his packhouse and Martin showed a nice gesture to me by agreeing. The packhouse was barely filled, only unmated wolves stayed here."Oh my god, is that yo
It was early in the morning, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the cars were honking at each other. It was relaxing to live in the city. The air was a little polluted but still fresh to me.I found myself wandering around unknown streets. There was a cafe to my left and a saloon to my right-both I've never seen before. As I walked further, I sniffed out a sweet and floral smell of the flower shop resting by the corner.Daisies.They were my favorite- just perfect in smell. I dragged in a few deep breaths and smiled before turning away from the daisies. It had been long since I last saw them."Would you like to get some of them?We just got them in," A woman walked outside of the floral shop and asked me.A wide smile spread across her face and her eyes shimmered with happiness.What was happening?"No. I was just looking at them. They are beautiful," I replied, running my finger through the white petal. They were soft upon touch and even though I wanted them, I couldn't
Martin stopped and skimmed over his owns word. That elder wasn't wrong when he said that Martin was a direct descendant of the Redwood Brothers."I come from the same bloodline," He finally blurted the truth out.I-leaned forward, excited. I was mated to a fucking royal. "So, really? How many of you are there?""Everyone's dead," He rumbled."What?""My family were the last ones of the Redwood bloodline, we were directly related to one of the brothers and we didn't have any cousins, so, it's safe to say that everyone is dead.""But, you're alive!" I exclaimed, confused."You should be glad," He shot a wink at me and I sat back straight."No one knows that you're from the Redwood bloodline," Martin took another gulp of his wine and continued, "Yeah, I've kept a secret or two. My family didn't want anyone to know either as the Aries Brother's only objective is to kill us, all and my parents feared them.""Oh," I breathed, realizing that this was bad.Horrible.If Martin was the only on
After being marked, I escaped in the bathroom to clean up myself as Martin had ruined my clothes. It had been a few minutes and I couldn't find the courage to see him again. Listening to the water hitting the tiles bought me the comfort I was looking for. My heart stopped racing and I-leaned against the warm, wet wall of the bathroom, my thoughts still spiraling. What had just happened? Did Martin claimed being in love with me?My hands slicked across my bare body, feeling the heat of the shower and the bathroom. Gathering my thoughts, I closed my eyes and twisted my hard nipples around my finger. The mark on my neck stood obvious but the reasons behind it were unknown. It wasn't necessary to mark your mate again.Maybe Martin just wanted to bruise me.My eyes snapped open and a low gasp escaped my throat as Martin walked inside the bathroom, naked. As soon as he got under the water, I wrapped my hands around his head and puckered out my lips to kiss him. "You were taking too long," H
The ride back home Broadway was steady and smooth. I slept halfway and woke up a few hours later by Martin who took my hand and pulled me out of the car when we reached the packhouse. It was early in the morning, the sun peeked through the thick clouds, promising a bright day ahead of us.Everything was over. It was all settled.Everyone from the Golden eagle pack were going to settle down in Broadway, under me, as their Alpha and so were my parents. Over that,Davis was dead.I yawned and stretched before going inside, "I'm going to go take a shower," I whispered, stopping beside Martin. "You should sleep,""Yeah," he sighed, his eyes racing around the packhouse. We barely spoke about anything during the car ride as I was sleeping for the most of the time and Martin wasn't willing to spill anything about his parents or his past. "I've some work so I will see you later," My mouth dropped as his tongue slipped inside, awakening me entirely. I curled my fingers around his hair and gave i
"I know it sounds crazy_"Martin grabbed my shoulder and tugged me forward, "It is crazy,Clara. There are a lot of rogues here, and I cannot danger my own pack by bringing them to the city.""Please, just for a while a few months.They won't harm anyone, you have my word. They can be a part of my pack if they want to be. It's my family, Martin." I begged. I couldn't leave them all here, without anything."Fine but if anything goes wrong, you'll pay the price and you know the ways I like payments." He whispered in my ears before backing away.I squealed in joy and jumped on him,"Thank you," The scent of his hair and his cologne calmed me down and took away all my worries. "I'm going to go talk to the elders.""Fine, I will be around. Give me a call when you're done," He kissed my lips and then walked away.I turned around and peace blinked at me, still at the same spot where I had left him, "So, you're an Alpha now?" He asked, breaking the embarrassing silence."Yes and I'd love to hav
The snow was thick on the roads but Martin managed to drive through it. The parks were empty, and there were no children playing or giggling. There was a supermarket open and that's where Martin stopped his car and walked out, his features hardening with cold. I stepped out along with him, worry drenching my thoughts as I moved through the snow and entered the supermarket."It's closed!" The man yelled, slamming his counter shut and grabbing his bags. I recognized him, he belonged to Golden eagle, Mr. Andrew, it was his supermarket. "Mr. Andrew?" I asked, approaching him.He raised his head and looked at me, his eyes burning into mine, "Clara ," he breathed, remembering me."Yeah, it's me. Do you know where my parents are or peace?" I asked him."They are in the mayor's office," Mr.Andrew peeked through my shoulder, his fear rose when he found that Martin was standing behind me. "Along with the others," He continued."Thank you," I gave him a smile and turned around to leave with Mar
