As a Higanbana Warrior, Artemis should never have had a mate. Why? Because she was meant to live for war and protect the entire werewolf community. She was getting the hang of it until her Missing in Action best friend, Eliot walked his way onto her and realized he was her mate. The problem was, he was a human. She was ready to turn her back on everything she had, including what she was when Zero, the second prince decided to interfere with her plan. Their fates intertwined and rolled in… One, destined to destroy her, and the other destined to fix her. In a life that was full of malice and lies and betrayal. Artemis must choose, will she choose Eliot, her one and true mate, or Zero, who claimed her as his mate…
View MoreHera’s point of ViewDisappointed. That's what I felt when I saw Zero and the girl getting off from their work and riding in Zero’s car. She’s so beautiful compared to me. I knew she was a full blood wolf while I was not. “Follow the car,” I commanded the driver even if Jessica was protesting not to go. But I don’t want to listen. I wanted to know who this special girl was. I want to know everything about her and Zero. I watched them going to a fancy restaurant. I watched how happy Zero was with her. A wrench of painful fury tugged in my heart as I saw them enjoying everything as if they were mates and Zero’s betrayal, and I struggled to break out of self wallowing and pity. As I secretly followed their car, I learned that Zero took her home. “Higanbana’s location must be kept a secret my lady. We should really head back before the prince learns that we follow him,” Jessica said, fear all over her face. At last, I decided to give in to her and we went home. I lay on my bed as I t
Hera’s point of View“Have you heard the news?” I heard a female wolf telling a word to another servant. “News what?”Curious, I walked towards them secretly. “The prince has already chosen his mate and they are planning their wedding soon.”“Wedding? Chosen mate? Are you stupid? The prince’s mate is Hera. That’s why she’s here and we’re taking good care of her.” “Oh my goddess, Jessica. You are so slow!” Ana whispered. “Please enlighten me. The prince is not a playboy so I assume he chose his mate because he took her here.”“Well not that case. The she-wolf I heard that he’ll be wedded to is from the Higanbana pack. You know, the pack that dedicates their life to war?” “You gotta be kidding me,” Jessica said, unconvinced. “Ahuh. But girl, the royal family has already accepted her to be his mate. According to the prince, he defies fate. He doesn’t believe in fate.”“So what is Hera then to him?”“Maybe he kept her for the purpose of how it felt like to have one? I mean maybe he
Artemis Point of ViewThe weather is beautiful at this time in the morning, the dew fresh from the night, the sun barely rising, the chirping of birds heard, and the town barely awake on this summer day. Here I sit, on the patio of the backyard, my mother beside me as we enjoy early morning coffee with one another. As we discuss how my life is about to do now that Zero is my mate, I have so much I have to tell her. Last night I had asked if she wanted an early morning cup of coffee with me to discuss some issues. Starting off the conversation about mating, we are still on the topic, right now talking about my roommate who I will meet in person when I arrive. Mother is in for big news. News that happened three days ago and I've been reflecting off of. For three days my mind has been busy, my eyes unable to rest at night as I can't calm myself down.Zero respects that, giving me time as we text here and there, for the most part a sense of me avoiding him has settled in my stomach. Avo
Hera’s Point of View“Y-you’re my mate?” I ask the most handsome man I have ever met. “Yes,” he said, smiling. “You mean-”He gently took me in his arms and wrapped his hands around me. I feel so safe and warm. I have never felt emotions like this. I feel so safe.“Yes and you’ll be safe here, Hera.”When I was a little girl, I always thought that I would be the woman that forsakened because I was a product of human and wolf, an abomination. Never in my life I would find happiness since I grew up being bullied and unloved.I would look around and see happy couples together, getting married and having children of their own. It would make me smile. What could be greater than that? I knew I only wanted one thing... to be happy and loved. Those were just a dream before I met this wonderful wolf, my mate and my man.“How about-”“The hunters? We have taken care of it, love. No one will be able to help hurt you in my care,” Zero said and touched my cheeks. Unfamiliar tingles travelled i
Despite being said, I saw something in Zero’s eyes and the stare I received from the woman I saw. They rejected each other right? But why do I feel like something was off? Or am I just paranoid?I don't know what to do exactly. Do I tell him everything is going to be fine or that he did the right thing? Both of these can be taken to extreme ways beyond me trying to comfort him. My eyes take a short glance to Zero, how he sits beside me, his eyes locked upon the road, the radio off, and it seems as if he's absent. Maybe he's feeling the side effects of rejection and how he’ll feel emptiness, lost as you become vulnerable and your heart aches. Zero got me through much of how I felt, how I was heartbroken and he was beside me, knowing to not take advantage of my vulnerability as he respected my state of being.His jaw is clenched, his hands wrapped tight around the wheel as the familiar landscapes surround me. Just an hour ago we arrived back in the airport we left from, a hour drive b
Artemis’s point of ViewBeautiful. The buildings are a traditional style, the bricks more than a century old, the windows long and narrow, and massive trees that shade the sidewalks. If anything, I cannot wait for the next chapter of my life to begin here.“I like this place,” I told Zero. “I think this place will be- hey. Are you listening?” The entire trip was so quiet. Zero has become so quiet and I wonder why. “What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” I asked. “N-nothing. It’s just that I’m tired,” he replied, smiling. “You should have told me,” I said.“Na,” he shook his head. “We need this for our future,” he added, which made me smile."Really excited for all of this," I mention, turning to Flynn as we stand at the top of the stairs towards our new house in the most famous building that overlooks the fresh green grass and tree. "Two months away before the wedding. "Two months," Zero agrees, a smile upon his face as his mother is at the end of the stairs, capturing pictures of
Hera’s Point of View“You’re a damn abomination!” My brother Alexi screamed at me. Today, I tried hard to fight him, but he was too strong for me to fight even if I’m half-wolf.I was beaten to death. My family hated me, even the hunters.I was gagged and tied up with my arms behind my back. My heart began to pound frantically in my chest at the loss of free movement. This was a whole new level of torture. I used all my strength and freed myself. Just when I thought I had finally escaped, something hit my head and consciousness split from me.I opened my eyes and cautiously looked around. I was still in the forest, although it was almost dawn judging by the light of the sky. I must have been out for hours. I was not alone, but I could not see my brother and I was not sure whether that realization relieved or upset me.I focused on the five people nearby me. I had never seen any of them before in my life.They were clearly large and strong and they moved like fighters. Then there was m
Eliot's Point of ViewA week ago…a week already passed since Artemis completely destroyed me. One week and the pain has completely eaten me alive. I could have killed her if I wanted to but I can’t. I love her. I love her so much.“Captain, you’ve been silent for a week. What happened?” my junior, my second hand asks me when he sits besides me.I looked at him and smiled. “It's nothing,” I replied.Mateo smiled at me. “Doesn’t look like it's nothing, Captain,” he said. I heaved a sigh. “Well, uhh I was dumped by a woman I have loved since we were kids,” I said. “She, a… she rejected me or whatever you call it. She said she had already fallen in love with someone else.”Tears fell from my eyes. The pain is too unbearable. How could someone fall in love so deep and when dumped hurts like hell?I didn't make a single sound, and Mateo probably knew how much I was hurting. My back moved up and down, and I knew that crying was the only way for me to ease the pain. I lifted my head to t
I should have rejected him before I slept with Zero last night. Why? Because I had forgotten that when you have sex with anyone not your mate, you feel pain. I put Eliot through pain last night and he has no idea how it happened. I have to reject him. It's not fair. It's not justified. I have to hold myself to the account that I will not be with Zero again that intimate until I reject Eliot.As I grab the sheets from the washer, my eyes widen. I gasp, dropping the blankets as I fall to the floor, a sharp pain in my stomach as I cry out in pain. My eyes squeeze shut, my muscles cramping as I roll onto my side. What a coincidence. What an irony.I have to reject him. I have to not only for him, but for me. For this pain. This pain will go away.I grab my phone, knowing he won't see my text for a while. Unlocking it, my fingers ache as I type away, sending the text to Eliot that should have been sent a long time ago.We need to talk. ASAP.Eliot is about to have his reality changed and i
Higanbana pack, the special force of wolves dedicated to protecting the kingdom of werewolves. The pack members came from the bloodline of Fenrir, the guard of Selene. It said they were skilled in any fight in both human and werewolf form. They were the warriors that once fought the hunters and vampires that wanted to eliminate werewolves. They were the most respected pack even if their existence was purely kept hidden. Only when the king summons them do they answer in secrecy.What made the Higanbana pack strong? It was because their blood was pure and never mixed with any other werewolf blood. They never had a mate. Moon Goddess made sure of that. For warriors like Higanbana wolves, mate was the last thing on their minds. But for the last twenty years, Higanbana never produced male offspring even the Alpha.And that’s why, I, Artemis Knight, the next Alpha was being paired with an outsider. “Dad, this is unfair!” I screamed at him. “Do I not have the right to choose my pair?” I co...
