My body has never felt pain like this. It feels like I’m being stabbed over and over again at every inch of my body.
Every move I make, even if it’s barely considered a movement, there is like a surge of electricity that travels all throughout my nerves. I know it’s because of all the silver surrounding me.
The chains that are used to bind me burns through my skin. The walls make me feel weak just by looking at them. The bars of this prison cell taunt me, make me remember every second that I’m trapped here with no escape.
The life of freedom that I once lived was taken away from me in the blink of an eye.
Until now, I have a hard time understanding what really happened becau
“Inigo!” The voice came from a few feet away, but it was so loud that the whole place vibrated. Asshole two, who was apparently Inigo, was clearly terrified by it as his body cowered and he quickly withdrew away from me. Soon, three other wolves appeared and one of them, the tallest and biggest, approached Inigo with a daunting presence. “What the hell did I say about getting too close to the prisoner?” Prisoner? What an honor to be called such an endearing name. Is this how they treated most of the supposed Lunas of their Pack? If so, please, I would rather pass my title to someone else. “S- sorry, Loki. I didn’t mean to.” Inigo quickly apologized with a small bow. Loki? Who is this Thor ripoff? When I squinted my eyes, that’s when I realized that the man in question was actually asshole four. The worst of them all (although that’s not really saying a lot because they were all somewhat equally awful). The Thor ripoff didn’t even acknowledge Inigo as he merely looked awa
It shouldn’t be like this. None of it should. I thought my life was going so perfectly until everything was turned upside down.Just three weeks ago, I was getting ready to spend my son’s birthday and in the blink of an eye, everything had changed before I could even understand what was going on.Now I’m here, alone, trapped, and with nobody to confront with what I had just discovered about Titus and the fact that I may be living my last few hours of my life on Earth.Nothing felt… real.“Fuyu…” I confided in my head, closing my eyes, and trying my best to bring out my wolf.
“Why?” That was all I asked. Just one word because I didn’t know what else to say anyway.Inigo understands the question though because he starts to open up in a way I hadn’t expected him to.“We don’t believe in mates. Supposedly.” He began and already I was so confused. What kind of wolves didn’t believe in them? It doesn’t make any sense.“It- it’s complicated, but basically mates make us weak. We consider them as a weakness, so a lot of the wolves from Blazing Wolves actually choose who they want to be with based on strength, not by bond. Mate bonds are impractical because you can’t choose who you want to be with and sometimes the bond overpowers you that you can’t do anything else, but follow
River Colden I didn’t think it could happen so soon, and though it still felt surreal, I took in everything that was happening as much as I could in fear of it being taken away from me out of nowhere. “Have you ever gone inside one? A treehouse?” I asked Neo who was seated next to me, a bowl of chips in between his legs as his eyes were glued on the television screen where kids formed a club inside a treehouse. It was day two since Keira had disappeared and while I was of course worried, the best thing I could do during this situation was to keep Neo safe and ultimately, take his mind away from the fact that his mother wasn’t here yet. It did take a while for him to warm up to me, but after what Titus said to him yesterday, I brought out some toys and we began to play together. Zane would join from time to time, but he was more focused on helping in regards to Keira’s disappearance. Neo shook his head. “I didn’t even know they existed!” He said as his eyes lit up as he continued
Titus Bane Two Days Ago “Are you serious? You’re seriously stepping down as Alpha? What– how– no, that– that’s not a good idea!” Cyrus was at a loss for words. It was obvious as he kept stammering and was unable to finish a proper sentence. We had just captured a wolf that is, as far as we know, a part of the group who have chosen to betray their Pack and their Alpha, so technically speaking they can already be considered rogues. I just didn’t think it would happen to my Pack. Or maybe I did. I guess it was only a matter of time that others decided to rebel against me because of the way I ruled as Alpha in the Blazing Wolves. I admit that I am strict, that I like to do things with a hard conviction, and maybe a lot of them saw it as ruthless or merciless, but I honestly didn’t see it that way. I used to think I was doing them all a favor. All I wanted was to raise a Pack that was strong, indestructible, and ones that were ready to face anyone and anywhere. No weaknesses. Some
My head felt like it was being smashed by Thor’s hammer constantly and my throat was as dry as the Sahara desert. “Water… water…” I managed to mumble as I let my hand out, trying to reach for something, anything. A few seconds later, I hear some noise at the side and a straw is placed near my lips. Without thinking of anything else, I quickly take long sips to quench my thirst. “Slowly, slowly or you’ll choke on the water.” The deep voice said and hearing that as well as coming back to my senses because I was no longer dehydrated made me realize that I was not alone in the room. After getting enough water, I push myself to open my eyes and that’s when I see a familiar face smiling back at me. “Zane…” I say barely audible as I’m still trying to get my voice back. It sounded rough and coarse like I have somehow been screaming for three hours non stop. “Hey, don’t talk so much yet. You’re still healing. Do you want ginger and lemon tea? It’s good for your throat.” Zane asks as
Zane stared at me like I had just cursed at him. “What? What did he do? He saved both you and Neo, K. What are you talking about?” He looked at me like I had gone mad and I could understand his confusion. For someone who did so much for me and my son, he was probably thinking I was ungrateful for calling him a monster. “You don’t get it, Zane. I… The reason I was taken. It’s because of him. He… he’s a ruthless Alpha and I need to get out of here. We both need to get out of here!” I pushed his hands away so that I could get off of the bed. “K, calm down. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I think I have some idea.” He turned away from me as he looked like he was getting something out of his pocket. He then looked back at me as he was now holding out a piece of paper in between us. “What is that?” I looked at it and back at him. He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s from Titus. Whatever he did, it must be explained there. You know honestly, I was also confused as to why he a
“Why is your hair white? Are you old?” Trinity asked as he looked at Zane like he’s a television show character and not a real live person. Zane let out a soft laugh. “Come on now, I’m a young buck. Just like everyone here, including you, have different shades of red on your hair, back in my Pack we have shades of white, silver, and blonde.” “Oh… You’re like Elsa!” Trinity squealed. “Do you know Let It Go? Can you sing it? Pretty please? Can you make ice come out of your hands too? Please, Uncle Zane!” Trinity stood up from the blanket we had laid out on the grass and started singing and twirling around, her tutu skirt swirling around with her. It reminded me of Elura and Wynter. Trinity would gush if she ever saw the two because she’d think they were really Elsa. “Yeah, Uncle Zane, go and sing with her.” I said to the already blushing-from-embarrassment man next to me. “Alright, alright, but if any of this appears online, I’m suing for emotional damage.” He announced before
(This chapter includes sexual elements. Reader discretion is advised.) – Titus Bane – Everything is calm. So calm that it feels rather weird after everything that has happened. Chaos and destruction is all I have ever known for the most part, but now that I’m settled down at my place in my Pack, just watching the once green leaves now a mix of orange, yellow, and other Autumn colors sway with the wind, everything feels…peaceful. I closed my eyes and took a deep inhale, the smell of nature filled my senses and it invigorates me. An image of her pops up in my head almost like second nature to me. She is beautiful. The most beautiful woman to ever exist on this earth, and that’s saying a lot because this earth could be ugly and cruel, but not her, not my mate. Sometimes I still wonder what I had done in my past life to deserve someone as perfect as her, and I stop and think if this is just a dream, if everything in my life is just my imagination, and if it was, I hope to never wake
I was seated by the tree, the exact one Syvne and Roman found me and saved me from. I was just there in silence as I held on to the pure golden necklace that had the Japanese words ‘狼霊気’ meaning Healing Wolves formed on it. This was the keepsake Sho Chiaki, the guy from Titus’ Pack that knew about my family, gave to me. He said everyone in my Pack had it and when he found out his parents had kept it all those years ago, he knew he had to give it to me. As I sat there, thinking about them, it all still felt surreal, but at the same time, I also felt calm and at peace knowing about who they are and what they did for me on that night. I could have lived a life never knowing about their existence and a part of me would have always had an empty spot, but because I met Titus and in turn Sho, I was given the opportunity to learn about them and I will always be thankful for that. And though my heart pains for what happened to them and how they didn’t deserve that, I will live my life to
“Tri, can we please watch something else besides Frozen 1 and 2?” Neo, my little boy who was now six years old, turned to his best friend and gave her a pleading pout. Trinity giggled as I brushed her long red hair from behind. She was seated on my lap while Neo changed position every ten minutes as he got bored of the never-ending girly Disney movies we watched. In one year, gone are the days that he was completely absorbed with watching any Disney movie. I can’t believe how much he’s grown, but I will never get tired of seeing the changes that happen to him, physically and emotionally. I smiled at the boy whose raven hair was starting to get lighter. The streaks of silver on his hair are mixing in and it’s probably because of the fact that he’s been living in the winter season day in and day out for the past year. His complexion is lighter and his cheeks are as pink as a rose petal that I can’t help but stop and stare at him for a while because everyday, it’s like he looks more a
River Colden The sun was starting to set and before we knew it, there would be little to no light and finding Keira under this lake would be close to impossible. Not that it wasn’t already, and fuck, I hate myself for thinking that way. I wanted to stay positive, but it was so goddamn hard when we’ve been out here frantically looking for any signs of her. I didn’t know how much I would loathe frozen lakes until today. “I don’t see her, River! I don’t see her!” I heard my brother’s desperate cries as he was on his knees, pushing away the snow that had covered most of the lake. Titus was doing the same, but he hasn’t said a single word since Ivy pointed out where Keira was. He was the first one to drop down to his knees and start searching. Until now, even while it was happening, I still couldn’t believe that it was true, that Ivy could do something so… so fucked up as to
Titus Bane I stepped outside and walked and walked until I felt like I was far enough. My heart was beating a mile a minute and it felt like it was going to explode any second now. Seeing Keira and River in that position, so close to each other, and it being embedded in my brain like a curse just threw me into a spiral. To make things worse, River wants to have Keira as his mate and Luna. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so blind? It was right in front of me this whole time. Hell, it’s not like they even tried to hide it. River may have broken Keira’s heart many years ago, but Keira had been in love with him for far more. He may have done all that shit to her, but at the end of the day, they had the past. River was everything to Keira, and it’s not like it couldn’t happen again. Then there was me. The man she just met a few months ago. I may be her m
I was at a complete loss for words.Here was the man that I had been in love with since before I even knew what love meant. The man that I grew up with, that I talked to for Goddess knows how long, and the one person I knew deep in my heart I wanted to end up with.He was confessing his devotion to me, telling me that from here on out, I could have everything I have ever dreamed of. Everything until that day five years ago.The old Keira then would drop everything to accept his offer. The Keira that had always been head over heels for Alpha River Colden.But the Keira now is different. I may choose to be a White Howler again, but I’m not choosing to be
River Colden“I swear to the goddess, you better have a damn good reason as to why you’re dragging me all the way to the border or else I’m kicking your ass, Ass-pen.” I threatened my Gamma who was walking in front of me, leading me to the area he said I had to see.“Oh it’s valid alright. It’s as valid as a five foot seven silver-haired woman.” He said in a tone and with an expression like he knew something I didn’t and I hated whenever that was the case.Though I hated it even more knowing that the longer I was here outside, the longer Keira was inside with Titus completely alone. It wasn’t that I had anything against the man–he did
Titus Bane This can’t be happening. This can’t be fucking happening! Not her, not my little sister, the only family I have left. Fuck. Fuck, I can’t control my anger and my confusion. Just a few hours ago we were having the best time of our lives together. Trinity had never experienced so much snow and such a beautiful winter and even if she was slightly cold, this didn’t stop her from having fun. This didn’t stop her from creating memories with Neo and everyone. Now… Now she was lying down on the bed, her body shaking uncontrollably and white foam forming in her mouth. I was stunned. I didn’t know what to do. My body was frozen still and everything around me was spinning.
“So… How have you been doing? Titus asked, his eyes focused on me and only me, and I felt like I was getting sucked into them as each second passed. “Have they been treating you okay?” He added and somehow I could tell he was ready to release Hell on Earth depending on what I was going to say.It was two in the afternoon in the castle; specifically in Neo’s bedroom. After an eventful morning of playing around the frozen lake with snow arts and fights, we all had a big breakfast, walked around the territory a little as Neo toured Tri and I with Titus–while River stayed very close–and after eating risengrynsgrøt (hot rice pudding served with sugar, cinnamon, and butter) which is a traditional meal for ‘Little Christmas Eve’ around here, Neo and Tri were completely dog-tired and they were knocked out in the tree house in l
