Girl if you don't give our boy a chance!!!
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
I think Titus was hearing the same thing as well because the next thing I knew, his one hand is on the side of my face and his face is only inches apart from mine that I could feel his warm breath on me. “Tell me… to stop…” He looks like he’s having an internal battle with his words. He says it, but his eyes don’t mean what he said so I don’t know which to believe. “I…” My heart is beating so loud I can’t even hear my own thoughts anymore. All I know is that my body has somehow gone on autopilot and it’s moving closer… and closer… The moment he moved, although infinitesimal, seemed like a giant leap that made my heart stop because before I could process what was going on, his lips were on mine. Hot and sweet, soft and supple, I can taste the tanginess of the lemonade he had just drank before stepping out that Trinity and I hand squeezed this morning. My stomach trembles as the butterflies in them go absolutely and undoubtedly insane. This is what a kiss is with your mate. This
The plane lands smoothly on the runway and I am equal parts excited and dreadful.I am excited to see my son after two weeks of being away from him. It’s the longest we had ever been apart from each other. Frankly, I’m surprised I lasted that long, but it wasn’t my choice. I had to put fully recovering as my priority.But at the same time, I am dreading this whole ordeal because I know that I’m not ready.Then again, I know I never really will be.I often told myself–and others– that I was over it, that so many years have passed and I don’t let it affect me any more. For the most part, it is true, but it still doesn’t change the past. What happened ha
The air between Zane and I was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.He shakes his head and lets out a forced chuckle before turning to me with a smile that could barely be considered as one. “But that’s all in the past.”Oh… He must have meant his mate. Shit. I didn’t think he was still affected by it and now it makes sense as to why he seemed so uncomfortable with the topic.“Beklager (sorry), Frost.” I tell him with a meek smile and that’s when he turns to me and for a few seconds, he just looks at me in silence as if he’s contemplating to say something, but I can’t figure out what.He gives me a small smile. “I told you b
As Neo practically drags me into the castle, I remind myself that I am strong and that I am resilient. I can handle living here again for him and the best part? If it’s true that is– that Ivy Quinn was nowhere near this place. I think I can breathe a little better with that fact. This means one less person to pretend that they’re not around so my life here will be easier. I’ve already decided that my focus here will be Neo and Neo only. Zane, too, and Skye, if he even still remembers me, but besides some small acquaintances and friendly hello’s I don’t really plan on getting closer with anyone. Not again. Walking around the castle has me feeling agitated, especially when so many eyes are staring at me and watching every move I make. I can’t hear them, but I know that in those heads of theirs, they are communicating and talking about my sudden reappearance. Did they know I was coming back? Was it announced? Or was this a surprise to them as it was for me? Either way, I shouldn’t
“Mommy needs rest! We go to my new room, mommy!” Neo said excitedly, his eyes and smile overflowing with happiness, as he took my hand and dragged me away from everyone.He held onto my hand tightly as he made me follow him upstairs and into the hallway and a few steps later, we were in front of a light green-colored door with his name on it in the color blue.“I painted it myself!” He said proudly. “Are you ready to see it, mommy?” His eyes twinkled beautifully.I nodded my head and not a second later, he pushed open the door and I was greeted by nature's wonderland.Tall trees with branches scattered around the room. They were hanging from the ceiling and
The frozen lake is still as gorgeous as I last remember it, or even more as the beauty of Winter and Fall mixed together.Trees around the area look like they have been sprinkled with white dust. The snow on the ground is like whipped thick cream you could just roll around on.Everywhere you looked, it was like a white and orange dream, but it’s always the frozen lake that has everyone’s attention because it looks exactly like a sheet of crystals. Bright white ice, dazzling dust shimmering, and if you look at it longer, you can’t help but get pulled in by its tiny bits of blue sparkling through.It looks like you’re staring at one big diamond.“I’m ready to skate
(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
