I ran as fast as my legs could take me but the stupid dress restricted my movements. I ran deep inside the forest that surrounded the hotel though in hindsight, that was not a great idea. I should’ve run towards a crowded place, it would’ve been easier to lose Callan that way.
I couldn’t hear anyone running after me so I decided to stop for a minute. I was out of breath and my legs hurt like a bitch. I quickly grabbed the end of my dress and tore it right up to my thigh.
I tried to listen for any signs of movement around me and I was too naive to think that Callan had given up on me. I couldn’t hear anything except the wind blowing around me, the rustling of leaves and I thought I was safe, I had successfully gotten away.
But my stupid assumptions came crashing down when a huge black wolf jumped in front of me out of nowhere. It seemed as if he had emerged out of thin air...
I instantly knew that it was Callan because Isis starting jumping in my head, whining and purring at the sight of her mate.
I, on the other hand, started backing away.
With each step I took back, Callan took one forward in my direction. With each step of mine, Callan let out a ferocious, low warning growl telling me not to move, not to disobey him.
“Callan just...i-” I started but was interrupted by Callan growling at me. I put my hands in front of me and took a fighting stance. I was no match for Callan but I’d rather die than go down without a fight.
Seeing me shift into a fighting position, Callan’s wolf let out a puff of air, as if scoffing at me.
“Hey! Fuck you okay? I didn’t ask for this asshole!” I screamed at him. I was annoyed and tired and I had lost my heels somewhere, my feet were bleeding, I had tiny cuts and scraps all over me and I just wanted to sit down and have some water but here I was risking my life by going against an Alpha wolf.
I started shaking a little, I was scared I’ll admit it. Callan was strong and I knew one wrong move and I could seriously piss his wolf off. He can finish me in the blink of an eye if he wanted to.
Callan stopped growling when he saw me shake with fear. He simply settled down on the ground and nodded towards me, as if telling me to sit down as well.
“This has to be a mistake Callan! We can’t be mates! We hate each other!” I told him, still on high alert.
My words made Callan growl, slowly he transitioned back into his human form.
I kept my eyes fixed on his, not letting them travel anywhere else especially to the one thing my wolf eagerly wanted me to see.
“We’re mates and you can’t deny that” he said to me calmly. I just shook my head at his statement, making him growl again. I knew he was trying to de-escalate this situation by being calm but fuck it, I was losing my shit right now!
“Just think about it, we don’t like each other. It doesn’t make sense Callan!” I told him, desperately trying to make him see reason here.
My comment made him angry, his nostrils flared and I could practically see smoke come out of his ears. He stalked towards me and I pathetically tried to run away.
But Callan being an Alpha, was faster. He grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed me against a tree, the bark scrapping my back making me hiss.
“You’re mine! You’re my mate and there no changing that Anaïs” he roared at me and then continued to burry his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent, trying to calm his wolf down.
I stood still, I knew better than to move away and anger an Alpha wolf further. It would end up in broken bones..
“Just think about it rationally. You don’t like me Callan it’s just the mate bond. We have always hated each other, since we were kids” I told him, my voice calm and composed. I was a great debater; I knew how to get people to agree with me. I was sure I could make him see the reality of this situation.
“I don’t hate you Anaïs, I’ve never hated you. I don’t know where you got that ridiculous notion from but it would be wise to discard it. You’re mine and I will burn this earth to ash before I let you leave me” he said as he left my neck alone. His dark black eyes, shining a little gold showing the presence of his wolf, were glaring at me dangerously.
“Callan you don-” I was interrupted mid-rant by Callan’s lips. Callan was kissing me!!! Callan was kissing me!!!!
My wolf was howling with happiness in my head. For a while the world around me melted into nothing. It was just me and Callan and his soft ass lips.
The kiss was hungry, it was rushed and sloppy but soon Callan began savouring the taste of my lips. His movements became calculated; he sucked my lips, bit them and explored every inch of my mouth with his tongue.
He tasted so good; his hands were all over my body but in a respectful way. My hands were lost in his jet black hair, pulling at em making him groan.
Fortunately the part of my brain that was still working reminded me that Callan Baraed was kissing me, he was taking away my first kiss.
As soon as this realisation dawned on me, I pushed Callan away with all my might. I think the only reason I was able to break that kiss and make him stumble a step back was because I took him by surprise. But the thing that took him by surprise even more was the slap that followed the push.
I was furious! I was saving that kiss for someone I actually liked not Callan Baraed! My first kiss was not meant for the guy who made my blood boil!
The force of my slap or maybe the fact that I slapped him in the first place caught Callan off guard. His head whipped to the side and stayed there for a minute because of the shock.
We were both breathing hard after the kiss but soon Callan’s breathing turned ragged, his wolf coming forward.
A shiver of fear went down my spine, the fact that I just slapped an Alpha overtook the strength that had appeared in me because of the adrenaline.
“Callan I- Ahhhhhh” I was suddenly lifted from the ground and landed on Callan’s shoulders. He was mad! I could feel the fury radiating through his skin!
“Callan I’m sorry!!! Let me down!!! Callan please!!!” I screamed at him, I tried to get off but Callan just tightened his hold on me. I kicked my legs around, hit him on his back but nothing fazed him.
Within a minute we were back at the entrance of the hotel, Callan turned his back towards it and made his way to the parking lot. I could see all the pack members standing at the entrance, confused and shocked from everything that was happening.
I paid no attention to anyone and continued trying to get away from the caveman!!!
“CALLAN LET ME GO!!!!” I screamed at him again and scratched him, hard with my elongated claws.
He didn’t even hiss! I continued to dig my claws deeper into his back but it was to no avail.
“Be still Anaïs!” Callan barked at me making me go wild. I thrashed around more and almost fell off his shoulder. My antics must’ve angered him more cause the next thing I know, I feel a bad sting on my ass.
He spanked me....he..He spanked me!!!!!
“YOU ASSHOLE!” I screamed at him but it only earned me another hit on my bum. My eyes widened and face reddened.
I clenched my jaw and using my left hand, spanked Callan hard on his bare ass!
Callan came to an abrupt stop after I hit him back. The move was enough to rattle him for a second but he soon continued stalking to wherever the fuck he was taking me.
I was flung down from his shoulders and as soon as my feet met the ground I tried to run away but Callan just tightened his hold on my forearm.
We were standing besides his Mercedes and I was forcefully pushed inside the lavish car. He closed the door and went around, I tried to open the door again but it didn’t budge!
The driver’s side door opened and Callan got in.
“You’re kidnapping me now?!?” I screamed at him, trying to get him to realise how absurd he was being.
He simply ignored me and started the car.
20 minutes of driving and we were pulling up in Callan’s drive way. I could see that Callan was mad, like hella mad. He was gripping the steering wheel so tight, it’s a wonder it didn’t break into a thousand little piece.
He shut off the engine and got out of the car. The passenger side door opened and I was once again dragged out and hauled over his shoulder.
“Callan stop being a caveman! Put me down you bastard! Put me down!!!” I continued screaming at him.
“Throw as much of a temper tantrum as you want but remember once we reach my room, every word of yours is gonna have a consequence” he said making me shut up. Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!
“Callan calm down! You can’t possibly be thinking about...” I let my words drag out. He wouldn’t...he couldn’t..Right??
“What? What am I thinking about dear mate? Tell me Anaïs” he asked me his tone making him sound like a mad man. He yanked open his front door and marched straight towards the staircase leading up to his room.
My heart was beating furiously in my chest, seeing him climb the stairs, my attempts to get away from him increased.
I tried to get him to fall down, I tried to slither away but everything was in vain.
Callan slammed open his bedroom door and I was thrown onto his bed as if I was a sack of potatoes. I backed away from him, my back digging into the headboard of his bed.
“Callan calm down! Don’t do something that you’d most definitely regret later” I said to him, my voice shaking and my hands stretched out in front of me.
“Oh now you’re scared Anaïs? You weren’t scared when you slapped me princess” he said with an evil smirk on his face. I was scarily aware of the fact that Callan was very naked!
He slowly stalked towards me on the bed and all I could do was say a silent prayer in my head. He grabbed my leg and pulled me towards him, my face inches away from his.
“Callan...” I breathed out...I looked around trying to find a way out of this.
“Scared are we princess? No more screaming or struggling huh?” He said as his head slowly dipped into the crook of my neck, his breath making goosebumps appear on my skin.
His lips made contact with my skin, right at the spot where my shoulder met my neck, making me moan. Fuck!!!
He sucked and nipped and licked while I tried my best to not let any other sounds escape my mouth. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and my body reflexively gave him further access by tilting my head to the left.
Every suck, every lick sent jolts of pleasure straight down to my core. I could feel my nipples harden and my core dripping....fuck.
My breath came out in short pants and I fisted the bed sheets, trying to hold on for dear life.
“I thought you didn’t want me?” The bastard said and I felt him smirk against my skin. He was gone in the next second and my body felt cold without him...my body is a fucking horny bitch!
He disappeared into the bathroom which was connected to his bedroom, leaving me a hot, blubbering mess on his bed.
I closed my legs tightly together, trying to get rid of the tingly feeling in between them.
Holy fuck I was screwed! I was so fucking screwed!
I was literally frozen to the spot where Callan had left me on the bed. I needed time; there were so many voices and thoughts in my head that it felt like I was going to explode.Callan is my mate was the one thing that constantly kept replaying in my head. It was as if I was trying to convince myself that this was actually happening.I know I don’t really hate Callan but I don’t like him as well! He has always been awful to me, making fun of me, making me feel so insecure and lonely....how can I just forget all that?He used to make me cry all the time, there were times where I even felt like running away from school just so I won’t have to hear harsh words directed towards me...how do I just let go of that?“You okay princess?” I jumped when I heard Callan call out to me. I looked up and found Callan standing right in front of his bathroom door, in a freaking towel.“Fuck me” I heard Isis moan in my head."Ew you nasty horny bitch!” I practically screamed back at her in disgust. She
My dreams were plagued by Callan and his midnight Black wolf, his dazzling black eyes staring at me intently as if they were looking directly into my soul.I woke up but could not keep those intense black eyes with a hint of gold out of my head.I felt an urgent need to empty my bladder after a few minutes of being awake but I was burried under a shit ton of muscles that belonged to none other than my dear mate."Callan get off" I mumbled softly trying to not scare him awake. I might not like him but I knew how terrible it is to wake up to someone screaming at the top of their lungs.He groaned and instead of detaching himself from me, he held onto my waist tighter."Don't go" he said in a very low and husky voice. Fuck, men and their morning voices!"I need to pee Callan" I told him while squirming around, trying to show him the urgency of this situation.He reluctantly let me go with a grunt. As soon as I was free, I sprinted right into his bathroom and did my business. I washed my
Callan drove back to the pack territory, an eerie silence filling the car. We were both caught off guard with the news of Callan's house being on fire and both of us were worried whether someone got hurt or not.As we drove up to the house, we could hear the commotion of people, the sounds of the firetrucks.The entire East wing of his house was destroyed. I stood besides my parents, who rushed towards me and engulfed me in a bear hug as soon as they saw me make my way towards the crowd of pack members.My mother's eyes were red from all her crying, she thought Callan and I were inside the house. My father looked on the verge of tears as well."It's a relief that the Luna came out here to talk to you or else noone would've known the house caught on fire" my mother said. It was true, Callan's house was knewly built and was located in the middle of a dense canopy of trees, away from our pack community.I nodded my head and looked around for Callan and found him standing with his parents
I stood in front of my dresser, with a horrified expression on my face.I looked like absolute shit! My eyes were puffy and blood shot, my hair were a complete and utter mess, standing out in all directions and my face was red and swollen.All the late night crying yesterday had turned me into a swamp monster. Apparently I fell asleep while crying last night, Apollo had to carry me to my room and put me to bed. I remember waking up and wondering who the fuck tucked me in..I chuckled to myself and thought "he still thinks of me as his baby sister"I heaved out a heavy sigh and got to fixing myself up so I looked like a human again.After a steaming hot bath, soothing cleaners and a sheet mask I was ready to tackle school.I picked up my bag from the foot of my dresser and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I s
"Oh my god! Callan are you okay?!" I scrambled down to my knees, helping him up into a sitting position. I had whacked him right on his forehead making it bleed.I cringed when I saw the blood but since Callan was an Alpha, the wound was already closing up."What the hell are you doing hitting people with a vase princess?!" Callan groaned out, still shocked from the attack."What am I doing?! What the fuck are you doing sneaking into my home?!!?" I screamed at him and smacked him on his shoulder. Thank gods I picked up a vase, what if it had been a knife?!?"You couldn't tell it was me?!?" He asked but it just made me upset. Isis was not talking to me which means my werewolf ability were at their worst right now."Isis is not talking to me because of you. Fucking everyone is siding with you.." I mumbled and got up. I resumed my position on the couch becaue I knew if I stayed with Callan, we'd end up fighting and I did not want that.Soon Callan composed himself and took a seat beside
I stood outside the main entrance of my highschool, grinning like an idiot on cocain. I quickly gathered all the accutrement I had brought along with me to carry out my evil plan and shoved them inside the backpack I was carrying.I carefully moved towards the forest, while makikg sure I stayed in the blind spots of the CCTV camera outside the entrace of our school. Once I was inside the forest and well hidden by the tress, I started stripping out of my clothes.I tied my clothes around my ankles and forearms and then shifted into my coffee brown wolf. I took off in the direction of my house while feeling satisfied with myself.Now you must be thinking "Anais what in the fuck are you talking about?". Welllll let me give you a flashback, shall I?FlashbackI felt something vibrate against my arm, snapping me out of my beautiful sleep. I tried to pull my arm away from whatever it was that was buzzing like a thousand fucking bees, but it felt like the thing was stuck to my arm.I opened
I sat there in Callan's office tapping my feet nervously on the floor. Callan had picked me up from the cafeteria and brought me here. He left me locked inside his office, full of nerves.I knew I was fucked, I have no clue how he found out it was me who pranked him and by the looks of it this discovery just made him more furious.I wanted him to be angry and embarrassed but not at me! I tried my best to avoid getting caught but alas!I nervously chewed on my lower lip while looking around Callan's office. His walls had huge holes punched in them...fuck he was going to kill me.I was startled out of my chair when the office door suddenly banged open and a still fuming Callan entered.I said a silent prayer in my head and stood up. I clutched my hands together in front of me and hung my head. If I make eye contact with him, he'll literally rip my head off.The silence was killing me and Callan was doing nothing to break it. He simply walked over to his desk and sat down."Sit down" he
I was awoken by the sound of dishes clattering against the concrete floor. I saw two guards making their way over to every occupied cell and pushing a metal tray with food under the silver bars.The other guard was pushing a trolly on which all the metal plates were piled up. They soon reached my cell and bowed once they saw me. I nodded my head."I need you to get Callan here" I told them."Uhhh I don't think we can do that Luna" one of the guards said."Why?" I asked him, my eyebrows furrowed. What? Is he not gonna talk to me as well now? I tried the mind-link but I can feel he has blocked me out."The Alpha is very angry over this situation and he ordered everybody to not mention you or else he'll lock us up as well" the guard said with his head bowed.That asshat is so freaking temperamental...I swear to the gods!"Just tell him I'm hurt. Tell him I need to see a doctor and if he doesn't get down here within the next 20 minutes, I will reject his stupid ass when I get out of here"
"Stop fidgeting" My mother said and slapped my hands to stop me from twiddling my fingers."I'm nervous! Jesus woman cut me some slack" I said as I started biting my lips instead."Madam don't do that! You will ruin your lipstick!" One of the makeup artists reprimanded me this time."Jesus child! Can you not sit straight for a second" My mother said and smacked my shoulder this time."Why are you so nervous Anais? It's just a simple ceremony" Sam chirped up, trying to calm me down. I looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was sitting down on the bed in my old room in the pack house."I know...I- it's just nerves" I grumbled. I don't know what's wrong with me! I attended Callan's Alpha ceremony and was perfectly fine! I don't know why I'm so nervous about mine!"It's going to be okay Anais. You just need to get on that stage and do everything exactly like you were taught during the rehearsal ceremony." Sam said and I let out a heavy sigh."Yea I just have to do everything I did du
"Dad tell her to calm down" I said as I looked up at my troubled looking father who was already gazing down at me with concerned eyes.I was currently kneeling in front of our sofa, as my mother and father sat on it."Shut your mouth before I shut it for you" My mother said angrily."What were you thinking Ani? Trying to change into that weird monster! What if you ended up hurting poor Theodore? What if you ended up hurting yourself??!" My mother wailed."Mom I am a grown person! I had it under control! You saw it yourself!" I exclaimed. Why is she being like this??! Yes it was dangerous but I considered all of it before I decided to do it. We warned the pack members not to enter the training ground while I was there and Theodore volunteered to help me! I didn't force him!"Everyday you do something more dangerous and stupid!" My mother spat angrily. "And you Alpha! How can you let my daughter put herself in danger again!?" My mother turned to Callan, who still looked shook at what wa
"I'M GOING TO KILL CALLAN!" Theo screamed and I rolled my eyes."It's still not working Theodore" I said using his full name to tell him that I was just annoyed now...not angry."Well Luna you said you felt a weird energy take over you when Paenoe insulted Alpha so theoretically this should work" Theo said. I sighed and walked toward the little bench in the fighting arena where our water bottle were kept."Well it's definitely not working practically Theo" I grumbled. I wasn't annoyed with Theo...I was annoyed with myself. Why could I not channel these powers which I supposedly had??! Exactly what is wrong with me that I keep on bringing new problems into our lives."I'm sorry Luna" Theo said as he came upto me and settled down beside me."You should not be the one apologizing. You are stuck here with me instead of getting back to your work...I should be the one saying sorry Theo" I said and gave him a small smile."It's not bad at all Luna. Kind of exciting to be honest. This would b
I woke up from my sleep panting deeply and drenched in sweat."Anais" I heard my mate's voice and turned my head to look at the same worried expression I saw every morning since the day of the war which was exactly 3 week ago."I'm fine" I breathed out but clearly I wasn't fine. This has been going on for way too long and I could see that even Callan had stopped believing my 'I'm fine'."What did you see?" He asked gently...maybe he was trying not to set me off."It was the same...flashes of my fight with Paenoe" I said and sighed. I was getting tired now. Paenoe dying should've brought me peace but here I was still troubled and not being able to get back to normal life."I-I saw the moment when I ripped his head off...I grabbed his limp, almost unconscious body and bent down to wrap, what felt like my wolf jaw, around his neck" I slowly recalled the dream...I felt bile rise up my throat as for some reason I could almost taste his blood in my mouth."My fangs dug into his skin and the
The heat was going to kill me. I could feel it consume me and burn from within but I couldn't stop it. It was like someone had set me on fire and all I could do was scream in agony and pain. It was this feeling I felt at first, the only thing I could sense but soon came the darkness and the light figures. The sound of howling and claws digging into flesh. I had no idea what was going on but I could feel everything yet I didn't know why was I feeling all of this. Where was I? Was this a dream? Am I dead? I had no idea. I couldn't feel my body but only the pain inflicted on it and heat coming from within me. And then it would be gone only to return again. Callan's POV"HOLD HER DOWN!" I screamed at the doctors and nurses as I tried to keep my writhing mate under control. Just like all the other times, the fit died down soon. I panted as I settled back down on my seat next to the hospital bed. I dismissed all the doctors and nurses, who were covered in beads of sweat. No one had a
Callan's POVAnais told me to find Paenoe's office but I had no clue where that was. I'd seen the map her team made but I couldn't spot any buildings they described which is why I just aimlessly ran around for hours.I was running down an avenue when a hybrid jumped on me from my left. It took me a minute to finish her off. I was annoyed, these creatures kept me from my search for my mate.Once I had finished the hybrid that attacked me, I changed into my human form to catch my breath. I looked around but everything was still strange to me.I ran down the avenue in my human form, breathing heavily, covered with blood and sweat. Where was she??But then her scent hit me all of a sudden. A wave of relief washed over me like pouring rain and without wasting another moment I ran towards it. I turned right from the avenue, expecting to find my battered mate from her fight with Kajokh but the scene in front of me rendered me motionless.I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Anais, half
"NOOOOOOOO" I grolwed. They were here! They were here unprepared! they're rushed into a war against hybrids because of me!I instinctively ran back into the main pack lands. Loud siren went of and I heard the sounds of fighting...the screaming and the growling."LUNA!" I heard Melina call out but nothing could stop me now. They have to go back! They'll all die!I jumped and shifted mid-air. I didn't even need to run a mile to come across wolves and hybrids fighting each other."GO BACK!! NO! GO BACK! RUN" I screamed through my mindlink but I couldn't reach the fighter in front of me. They all had their walls up. I ran through wolves and hybrids tearing each other apart.In a matter of second, everything had turned into a mess. There were bodies of...mainly werewolves lying on the ground. Pieces of shattered glass, broken doors and blood everywhere.The once deserted place that I just walked out of had transfomed into a battlefield."ANAIS" I heard Callan call out to me through the lin
I looked around at what appeared to be a hut but was made out of bricks and concrete. It was small, with nothing but a simple futon in one corner and a table in the very middle with two plastic water bottles on it.I quickly leapt towards the water, goddess knows how parched I an right now. I broke the seal and smelled the water before taking a swig. When I was sure nobody had tampered with it, I downed the whole thing in one go.I went to the futon and inspected it. Wasn't anything special...the frame was made out of simple wood but the bedding looked worn out.I went up to the door and gently pulled it by the handles towards me. It was locked...so bad that I couldn't even giggle it if I wanted to. I felt along the wall to the left of the door...feeling for anything, any sort of pipping or fitting in the walls I could use as a weapon.But seeing as there is no bathroom in here, I wouldn't find any plumbing.There were not light bulbs in here...just very small holes at the very top of
Anais's POVThey left me alone...for what felt like an eternity. I was trying to keep myself...sane.Every now and then I'll see something move in the darkness...but I knew that was in my head. So every time that happened I would have to tell myself that it was my imagination.It wasn't so hard to figure out what the brothers were trying to do, keeping me here like this.They wanted me to go insane...not totally but enough so I wouldn't fight Paenoe when he marked and mated me and then finally drained me of my blood.And I was sure their plan was working because ever so often I heard a faint whisper in the darkness. It was becoming harder to tell myself that it was my imagination. I wanted that whisper to be true...I was scared and I didn't want to alone. I slapped myself again...hard. So hard that it made my ears ring."Anais..." Isis said through the mind link, worried."We have to protect our senses Isis...the pain helps. Keep talking to me, keep howling and pawing and jumping. Do
