BLAKE

Days dragged by like an eternity as I stayed all night by Jessica's bedside, every passing moment pulled me down by guilt and anxiety. Her condition remained critical, her life hanging in the balance of life and death.

Even now, I blamed myself for what happened—every bruise, every drop of blood was evidence of my failure to protect her.

Reed, my Beta, took charge of pack affairs, ensuring stability while I focused solely on Jessica's health. For a while I knew I wasn't alone, and I was grateful he was able to be of help without complaining of the too much work already on his shoulders.

However, Reed has been trying his best to calm me, to make me believe Jessica's condition wasn't my fault. How can I accept that fact, the bruise on her chest was from me. I should have seen it coming, I should have known Antonio was going to use her as coverage.

But I couldn't. I was so blinded by anger. I was so bent on having him dead for taking Jessica away from me. And I thought I could mak

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Rejected Mate   12~ You Should Have Told Me

    JESSICAThough I might seem to have healed, I could still feel pain in my inside, like there was still a bigger hole yet to be healed. I've been enduring the pain, most times it sends this stinging feeling that makes me want to scream my lungs out. Sometimes, I feel like running my nails on the spot and have the sensation satisfied. I could only hold back because I was a wolf, and my lazy ass wolf wasn't being a disgrace to me even though she wasn't trying so much for a wolf.It's been four days since the night I was hurt. Now you know what exactly it means to live for four good days enduring pain that would possibly be the end of you."I can heal you." Said my wolf for the nth time. And to be frank, I was damn tired of hearing that over and over again for the past five hours and yet, I still feel like my heart has been ripped apart."Come on, you've been saying that for hours now. How on earth am I supposed to believe that?" I rolled my eyes, evidently telling how fade up I was to h

    BLAKEAs the full moon rose high in the night sky, Jessica's eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement which was totally different from her emotions the previous night. "Blake, I need to tell you something," she said, with a bit of childishness which was another fascinating thing about her.I feel twice as happy whenever I see her in such a mood. I wouldn't say no to such a conversation like this, I paused what I was doing to hear what she had to say."Tell me something."She took a deep breath before speaking. "Okay, here is the thing. You remember what I told you about my wolf yesterday? How she kept singing that she can help me heal?"I nodded my head. "Of course, I remember.""Well, we later figured it out together and she promised to heal me tonight, under the full moon. I don't know how it's done, but I think she knows what she's doing.""That's a great idea. I mean, I never thought of something like that." I wouldn't blame myself though. I never thought of that because I believed

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Rejected Mate   14~ Curiosity

    BLAKEAfter seeing her wolf the previous night, I couldn't help but feel amazed. Her wolf was one of the most beautiful wolves I have seen in years. I was beginning to wonder if she was from the Winter Wolf pack, since they were the only wolf packs with the most beautiful white furs.The way the moonlight shone on her told a lot. Was she somehow connected to the moon? If yes, I doubt she knows that.My curiosity got hold of me, and I was so eager to figure it out. I couldn't help but feel drawn to her even more. I had always been fascinated by the unknown and I wanted every means to find out what was behind her wolf.The next night, I decided to observe her from afar, to see if I could uncover more secrets. Don't blame me for being this curious.She was glancing up at the sky, her eyes fixed on the moon. It was as if she was being called to it, and then... I watched as she transformed under the moonlit sky. Her wolf form was just as breathtaking as before, her eyes shone with an other

    BLAKE"Well..." I heaved heavily. "The truth is, I was just curious as to how you got the white fur. I mean it's incredibly beautiful." I complimented and I watched her blush."Thank you." I didn't want to go further to tell her the real truth, until I was certain she had a connection with the moon. This wasn't just good, her powers, her personality was something that was going to save my pack for good in the future.And if only she knew...After she had left my office, I continued digging in, searching for more information that would lead to answers to my questions. After minutes of searching and finding nothing, I sighed, shoving my hair frustratedly."Fuck!" I cursed. "There's got to be something. There has to be something."I almost gave up searching when my eyes were caught with a write up. Quickly, I clicked on the link and it took me to the full website. I gradually read through the lines until I got to a point, I made a stop. It was said that though the winter wolves were k

    BLAKE(One Week Later...)"Hey, babe. Can I have a moment with you?" I asked, sitting on the single couch. She left the bed for the three seater couch which was just across mine."Okay. What's up?""I've been thinking about this for a long time now. And I've been doing a lot of research so far, and to my conclusion, I figured out that somehow, you are connected to the moon."I was expecting her to look shocked or surprised, but the reaction I got instead looked plain. More like she knew it already or the fact that it wasn't just a surprise to her."You don't look surprised."She sighed, nodding her head. "You knew already?" She nodded again."Since when?""Days ago." She answered. "I always have this feeling that something was calling me, and sometimes the feelings come like it was someone calling me.""Have you gotten the chance to know who it is?" She shook her head. "No. Only that my wolf keeps wanting to take over me when the force or voice calls. I might feel so strong under t

    JESSICAThe sound of the front door opening made me jump, and I quickly turned around, my heart pounding in my chest. Blake stepped inside first, followed by a tall, confident woman with striking features. Her presence was commanding, and I could see the resemblance to Blake in her sharp eyes and the curve of her smile.Why do I feel so scared of her?"Jess, this is my sister, Vanessa," Blake introduced, stepping aside so she could enter the room fully.Vanessa’s eyes swept over me, assessing in a way that made me feel like she could see right through me. But instead of the cold judgment I feared, she offered a warm, welcoming smile."So, you're the one who’s stolen my brother’s heart," she said with a chuckle, stepping forward to shake my hand. "It’s nice to finally meet you."I smiled back, a little shyly. "Nice to meet you too. Blake’s told me a lot about you.""Only the good things, I hope," she teased, glancing at Blake, who rolled his eyes playfully."Of course," I replied, fee

    JESSICAVanessa's eyes sparkled with a knowing look. "Jess, your lunar connection might seem strong, but know this, relying solely on the moon's cycles will leave you vulnerable. This time, you'll be tapping into your inner power and learning to shift at will."I nodded, ready to face whatever challenges ahead. "Teach me.""Are you ready to face the challenges?"I nodded my head. "I am ready." "That's the spirit. Let's see what you're made of." She said with a wide smile on her face.Vanessa led me to a secluded clearing not so deep in the forest. "First, connect with your wolf's essence. Close your eyes and focus on your heartbeat. Feel the primal energy within."I breathed deeply, sensing the stirrings of my wolf. But as I tried to visualize the moon's energy, my mind wandered. I struggled to quiet my thoughts, and my inner energy felt stagnant.Shit! I cursed."Imagine the moon's absence," Vanessa instructed. "Envision a moonless night, and your wolf's energy is still thriving, st

    JESSICAIt was so early the next morning when Vanessa called my line. I checked on the time, it was minutes to six. I wondered why she wanted us to practice this early, but I yielded to her call.Blake woke up by the movement of the bed, "Hey, you're awake?""Yeah, I need to go practice."His eyes slightly opened, "Why?" He asked, checking on his wrist watch which he always had on whenever he slept. "It's still early to practice.""Vanessa just called, I guess she has her reasons." I said, going to the wardrobe to pick my training clothes."Be careful.""Thank you." I smiled while I wore my clothes on. "We'll see later." I said before leaving.We met in the sitting room. "Good morning, Princess." She made that sound even sweeter than Blake."Good morning." I responded. "I was wondering why the early call.""Sorry for that. Though I prefer training in a quiet place, especially when it involves something quite interesting.""Hmm." I hummed, nodding my head. "Quite interesting, I see."

    JESSICA Murmurs spread through the wolves and Lycans, and I could see some of Blake’s men lowering their stance, unsure of what to do next. Even Priscilla seemed uncertain now, and the Lycan King, though standing tall, yet he looked more cautious than he had before.“What do you want?” Raven asked. He wasn’t one to easily trust, and neither was I, but something about this figure made it hard to doubt its power.“To end this needless war,” the figure replied, its eyes now fixed on the Lycan King. “Your thirst for revenge has led you astray. And you, Blake, have let your past cloud your judgment.”Blake bristled at the words. I could feel the tension radiating off him, but he stayed silent, waiting for the figure to continue.“You all fight for reasons rooted in pain and loss,” the figure said, its gaze now on Priscilla, Antonio, and the rest of us. “But the moon does not favor endless violence. There must be balance.”I felt a sudden peace in me, but was tinged with fear. What would h

    JESSICAThe fight was chaotic, with an endless clash of fangs, claws, and blood all over the ground. Just when I thought we were gaining the upper hand, things seemed to have shifted a bit. I saw Priscilla step forward, her eyes locked on Blake. My stomach twisted. All I could see in her was revenge. Revenge. It had swallowed her whole.I couldn’t just stand by and watch. I had to do something.I ran toward Priscilla, trying to reach her through the bond we once had. I pushed my thoughts into her mind, pleading with her to stop. *Don’t do this, Priscilla. It doesn’t have to be this way.* But she didn’t even flinch. Her mind was closed off, her heart totally consumed by rage. She was too far gone.Before I knew it, I grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away, but that only made things worse. She jerked around, her eyes burned with fury. And then, out of nowhere, the Lycan King appeared, moving so fast that I barely saw him coming. He smacked me hard across the face, and everything went

    JESSICA The morning was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air. Today was the day—the day of the war we had all been preparing for. Blake had met with Alpha Raven the day before, and they promised to fight with us. Not just Raven, but another wolf clan that was a close friend of his had joined in too. Seeing how determined they were gave me some comfort, even though the fear of what was to come still weighed heavily on me.Blake’s men were already gathered, standing at attention, waiting for his orders. I stood beside him, my heart racing, but I knew I had to stay strong. This was the moment Blake had promised me—fighting alongside him, just like he said we would.Beside him was Lyra, he had also made her the same promise. Even though she tried to play courageous with the smile on her face, I could tell she was shit scared like I was.Then the alarm went off. The knight watcher signaled that Antonio and the Lycan pack were on their way. My breath caught in my throat. This wa

    JESSICA The door creaked open behind me, and I didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Blake’s scent, that familiar mix of warmth and safety, wrapped around me as he stepped closer. “Jessica,” his voice was soft, yet I could feel the cling of sleep in his tone. “What’s wrong? You’re shaking.”I hadn’t even noticed my body trembling. I tried to pull myself together, but I knew he could sense it. He always could. I forced myself to look up at him, his eyes still sleepy but alert now, searching mine for answers."I'm fine." I lied. "I couldn't sleep anymore so I thought I should get some air. Besides, the guards are everywhere, you need not to worry. You should go back to sleep."He sighed, crossing his arms around his chest. "How am I supposed to go back to sleep when you're not on the bed?" I looked at him, and we both chuckled. "I can wait until you feel sleepy."That was one habit of Blake, he wasn't ready to give up on me no matter how minor or major the situation may be."It's re

    JESSICAI felt my heart sink after hearing what the spy had said. Antonio had made it so obvious after speaking to someone over the phone, his laughter filled the air so it was loud enough for the spy to have eavesdropped on him.It hurt me that it was at this point Priscilla was being silly and stubborn. I don't know what her master had done to her, but whatever it is, I wouldn't let her have her way. I don't care if it would cost my own life, I wouldn't sit and watch her hurt my man.I welcomed nature with the purpose of meeting Priscilla at least for the last time. I knew I was disobeying Blake's order not to meet her again since she had made up her mind. Somehow, I believe there could be a chance for hope.The dream was so vivid, so real that when I saw her, standing there in the distance, my stomach dropped. "Priscilla." That name tasted like poison on my tongue. She didn’t look surprised when I called her out, anger burning in my chest as I stormed toward her. "Priscilla!" I sh

    PRISCILLAIt was a week before Deluca finally came to a conclusion on the day to attack. Though it wasn't fixed yet, it was something he assumed to be. I was more than excited that I wouldn't have to wait any longer than I have. I didn’t see the need to attend Deluca’s meeting with his friends. We had already gone over every detail of the plan. Besides, the thought of sitting through hours of more discussion felt like a waste of time. So, I stayed back in my room, but as the night dragged on, I couldn’t deny how restless I was becoming. How long were they going to talk? It's been since morning, weren't they tired already? I can't even imagine myself sitting for hours, not to talk about talking for more than five hours over a particular conversation.I paced for a bit, trying to distract myself, but eventually ended up lying on my bed, waiting for Deluca to return. I kept glancing at the door, hoping to hear his footsteps. But he never came, and the heaviness of the day slowly lulle

    JESSICAI felt strange, this time it was a different feeling. I could tell Priscilla was happy, and in a good mood. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but... the happiness felt kinda strange."What's wrong?" Blake asked."I need to dream.""What?" Aria looked at me like I had gone crazy."Yes, I need to dream. I need to see Priscilla right now.""But it's still morning." She said, "I mean, you can't see her except if you both are sleeping, right?""Shit." I cursed under my breath. That was the fucking truth. If I need to speak to Priscilla, we both have to be asleep."Do you feel like she's in trouble or something?" Blake asked and I looked at him. How am I to answer him when I can't even tell my actual feelings right now."No. I can only feel her excitement right now." He raised an eyebrow like he wasn't expecting that answer from me."You should be happy." He added."Yes, I should. But this happiness comes with something different and I need to figure out what it is."I never knew how

    PRISCILLAWhat?!I mentally screamed and before I could know it, he had grabbed my lips into his. I felt my adrenaline rise in want, and I couldn't hold back the desire to kiss him back. As much as I wanted to fight him off, I found myself succumbing to his temptation.His hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling my face closer. While his other hand held my waist, causing our body to meet, my chest resting against his. And for some reason, I wished I wasn't this bursty.This man was all charming, and no matter how hard I tried to resist him, I just couldn't. I felt weak in his arms, and the way he touched me was way too strong than my resistance. And I can't do anything but give up trying."You know," He muttered between the kisses. "I love it when you fill your thoughts about me." I knew well, he was aware I was thinking so much about him. But him asking me minutes ago was like he was playing the innocent man who doesn't read everyone's mind."So, I'm gonna make every thought you t

    PRISCILLAIt was a hot morning. I couldn't believe the sun would shine this bright at such an hour of the day. I learned Antonio was paying Deluca a visit, I knew my anger would get a better hold of me so I decided to remain in my room for the rest of the day.I went to my wardrobe to search for something to wear. Or maybe, I can just take a drive outside to one of the eateries, rather than sharing the same air with an enemy. That was a perfect idea, and I was going to stick with it.I laid my clothes on the bed, and that was when Ivy, my maid, was showing up. Always late when needed. "Ma'am, your meal is ready." She walked in with my breakfast."Just drop it on the table." I said,She did so. "Anything else I can do for you?" She asked."No. I have everything done already." I walked into the bathroom. I just don't know how to get her changed to someone better. I have tried everything and yet she still seems dull to my liking.I heard the sound of the door closing, I let out a sigh b
