HAVENAfter days of travelling using sea, we finally reach our destination.Aamon is still making sure that none of all our belongings are missing. Even though I researched the area several times, it's still nothing like I expected.I turn towards the forest's direction and it looks so thick as though there's no space to even pass through it. I feel a certain energy pulling to me. Confusion tugs at hidden strings inside of me and I almost hear the sound of something, it's whooshing and doesn't make sense at all but I somehow hear it. It's like the forest is almost...alive. calling out to me."Hey," I startle when Aamon places his hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" He looks in the direction where I'm looking at."Yeah...yeah. I'm okay.""Are you sure?""Mhhm.""Okay," he grabs my hand, linking his fingers with mine and starts walking me to where we plan on leaving the rest of our belongings. We agreed we would only carry a few necessities in our backpacks since we're not staying past
HAVENWe've been walking for hours, my palms are sweaty despite it not being sunny in here.I ask Maya where their other group of friends have gone and she says they weren't keen on the idea of exploring the forest, so they headed to a resort.I don't blame them, I would never agree to enter such a forest for the funs of "adventure". I mean, I've watched movies before, Predator, Wrong Turn and so many more. Being prey is the last thing I'd want.Maya and Kai are being brave, but also stupid. The point is, they have balls I'll give them that. If Aamon asked me to come here for reasons none related to finding out about my true origins, my answer would have been an instant none negotiable No.Aamon stops walking and so do we, he's the one in front leading the way. I'm right behind him then Maya and Kai is the last one. They agreed it was best if us females were in the middle for safety."What is it?" Kai asks."The ground feels steep ove
HAVENI've been thinking a lot about what Nixx said about testing out my speed. It's something I really want to do and I'm planning on trying it out later, once we part ways with Kai and Maya."I think I've got a bar!" Maya says from a spot near a tree.I scurry to my feet and rush to where she is.Signal, finally. Thank goodness, I just hope I'll be able to send a quick text before the small luck decides to run out.I take out my phone and stand close to Maya who is seated on the ground, leaning against the big tree.One network bar appears on my phone and I whisper an excited yes.I type out a message to my mother.Me: Hi mom, you're probably worrying right now because you couldn't reach me the whole day, I just want to let you know that I'm doing okay and I'll call you tomorrow, Ember and I are hanging out tonight.I know Ember will cover for me if her dad or my mother decides to ask about us hanging out.I hit
HAVENEvery time after having sex with Aamon, I always wake up extra hungry. I'm just glad he carried a whole lot of canned food. That was a really good idea, he really thought ahead.He turns around and hands me a bottle of water, I open the cap and take a sip."So, Haven. How was your night?" Maya asks and I spit out my water, caught off guard by her question."Mmm." I wipe the excess water off my chin. "It was good, normal. How was yours?""Well, Kai and I shared a moment of silence, enjoying the peaceful quiet night."I come to a halt but she bypasses me with a mischievous smile on her lips.Yep, they definitely heard us last night.I swallow down the embarrassment and keep walking. There's a splashing sound coming from somewhere in front of us, it's definitely a..."Can you guys hear that?" Kai asks."Yep, clearly." Maya answers.We walk a few feet and come to a clearing, there's a fast flowing river i
AAMONWhen Haven insisted we take Maya and Kai's offer on teaming up for the forest journey, I thought it was a huge fucking bad idea. There's something sketchy about these two, especially Kai, I just can't place my finger on it.She pleaded and I said yes, but that didn't mean I was trusting Kai. I made sure to keep watching Haven closely, never taking her out of my sight for more than five seconds.During the journey, Kai's behaviour started changing, the way he was trying so hard to get to Haven didn't sit well with me. I was suspicious of the guy from the time we stepped off the boat and his growing interest makes me on edge.More time has passed and he's now dangerously too invested in Haven and I don't like it one bit. Not because I'm jealous but because I've noticed a few off things about him these past few days we've spent together inside this forest.Like the time Maya slipped and almost fell into the river and Haven saved her. Kai was so
RYDERI Cross my legs at the ankles and hands over my chest as i watch Ember and her bunch of friends slam Haven against the wall. Girls have always been so confusing, I don't really get why someone else's appearance should bother you so much to the extent of making it your daily duty to remind them about it and bully them over it. I'm not gonna lie, I have thrown jabs at the girl here and there, but it's only because I want to please Ember. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even waste my time on her.Plain girls have never attracted me, what baffles me though, is why Aamon Blackwood suddenly has so much interest in her and making it his mission to protect her, like now. He's pinning his sister with a hard glare, warning her and her friends to stay away from Haven.He's the most famous guy in town and this school, he also happens to come from a very wealthy family and the most feared werewolf pack, the one owning this entire town. He can get any girl he fucking wants just by a single lo
HAVENIt's now morning and we're packing up our tents. There's still tension between me and Aamon, our talk last night didn't go well, it only made things worse.I sigh and place my hands on my waist. Watching him as he packs our things. He straightens to his full height and hands me my bag."Here you go."Our fingertips touch in the process and I feel electricity zip between us. My eyes and his lock and it's like there's a silent understanding that we're not really mad at each other."Thank you," I say without breaking eye contact."You guys ready?" Kai asks."Yeah," I answer and Aamon makes his way to Maya."Goodmorning," she smiles at him."Morning." He returns then nods at Kai in greeting.We start walking straight ahead and I can't help but notice how chatty Maya is with Aamon this morning.Something tugs at my heart and I take in a deep breath. She says something that has him chuckling and I can't take my eyes off them.Well, well, well. How the tables have turned. I was literal
HAVENI stay in the same position for long seconds. I don't know how long it's been but then the pain subsides a little. I slowly get to my feet, pressing my palm in my side and limping to rest my back against the wall, shutting my eyes tightly and telling myself that i can do this.My eyes peel open, I look around and find myself in a dark pit. squinting my eyes, I search the place and find myself surrounded by big rocks as walls. I inch closer and feel for the small torch i tucked in my boots this morning.I flash it on the stones and I'm momentarily struck with awe when I'm met with many different symbols carved in the stones from top to bottom in order. Horizontal and vertically.I step closer then cock my head to the side, examining them closely one by one when a particular one catches my eyes.No, freaking, way.It's the symbol that appeared on my hand that day after my dream where the werewolf spoke to me."What in the world.." I whisper to myself.This can't be a coincidence,
AAMONI already started the process of building my and Haven's house right after she agreed to marry me. It's been a secret and the project has progressed so fast. When I saw it, I was satisfied because it turned out exactly how I pictured it would look like once it was done. Of course Haven will take care of the interior design, I'll just add in my opinion where I can. I trust Haven, she's got good taste and isn't like other girls who would splash the house in rainbow colours."Where are we going?" She asks impatiently."We're almost there, baby, just relax."She slumps back against the the car seat. It's been eight months since we got married and it feels like it was just yesterday.Pressing the remote control, the gates open and i drive down the paved road. Haven perks up once the house comes into view. I park the car and step out the same time she does."What's this?" she asks slowly.I take her hand and walk us forward."T
AAMON*Months Later*Ever since my little wolf said yes to me in front of all our parents and the pack, I was almost bursting with joy inside. Everything I said back there was true, Haven is more than I ever dreamt of, she's more than I could ever imagine. I love her with my whole heart and as each day passes, I love her even more."Are you ready?" Isaiah asks.I stare at myself in the mirror and let out a shaky breath."As ready as I'll ever be."Haven and I decided to hold traditional wolf wedding, the fact that we both felt that way made things easier. After five years, we promised to renew our wedding vows in a modern wedding way. I'm sure she'll still look beautiful when that time comes, I mean, maybe she'll even be more breathtaking than ever.I walk to the alter and stand there, waiting for my bride. I can't lie deny the fact that I'm very nervous right now, that's the effect Haven has on me. After all the fight and effort I pu
HAVENTomorrow is the day. Finally I get to see my mother and spend more quality time with my father. I can't wait to witness the reunion between my parents, since the victory days ago, we didn't get the chance to check up on the pack. There were so many urgent things that needed to be taken care of.The pack was moved back to the grounds from the underground safe house.A knock comes at my door and Ember's voice reaches me from behind it."Come in," I say and she walks in dressed in a leather suit, black long sleeve leather shirt and leather pants paired with black high heels. Her hair falls down her back in wavy curls and she has light makeup on her face."You look great," I say, eyeing her from head to toe. "Going somewhere?"She links her hands behind her back and slowly walks further into the room."Yeah, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me."I sigh and take a seat on my bed."I would have loved to but
AAMONScreams and shouts of war erupt all around us. By the looks of the number of men down from Ryder's pack of warriors, we are winning this.I rush towards Kai, his sword clinks against my ass we fight for dominance, lifting my hand, I push out my elbow and hit him straight in the face. He stumbles back and regains his footing, then he rushes towards me but I lift my sword and aim it forward, it pierces right into his stomach and he looks down at the sword in shock then back up at me with his eyes widened and blood dripping out of his mouth, sliding down his chin down to his shirt.He lifts his sword but I push mine further into him until his body is almost falling against mine. His hand falls limply at his side, I place my leg on his pelvis and push him backwards, his body slips off my sword and falls backwards to the ground, his eyes staring up at the lit sky lifeless and grey.I must admit that sinking my sword into this bastard really felt good. It
HAVENI charge towards Ryder and jump on his back, he stumbles backwards but I hold onto him like a freaking tick. He moves quickly and slams me against the tree behind. Pain shoots up my spine, my hands slip from around his neck and I go falling down to the ground with a loud groan leaving my mouth.I get up and something zips past me. The sorceress swings her sword at me but I managed to dodge it and do a flip somersault on the ground, grabbing the huge stick in sight. I throw it with all my might at Ryder's head and he stumbles to the ground.The sorceress runs towards me and slams into my body, the force sends us both flying to ground. She gets on top of me and lands a hard punch to my cheek.She's strong for such a petit woman who looks all soft.Anger simmers inside of me, I lift my knee and slam it hard into her stomach. She falls to the ground next to me, groaning in pain as she clutches her stomach. I don't waste any more time, I cli
HAVENWhile Alpha Haiden and Aamon lead the warriors towards Ryder's pack. Ember and Kellan take me to the back with a few warriors with us."I should be there, fighting that moron Ryder, I knew he was an asshole but I didn't think he would turn out to be such a shameless and disgusting slimy bastard." Ember starts with her tantrum. "I can't believe I've slept with him before, and that i loved him.""What's done is done, all that matters right now is that we take him down at once."My eyes flick to the full moon above and I stand up, squinting my eyes. I have the ability to draw power from the full moon, right? Of course.I might not know how my father managed to communicate with me through our mental attachment, but I can try to find him using my power.Closing my eyes, I move Embers voice to the background until I feel something. My eyes snap open and I take a step forward. Something tells me he's around here somewhere.I look at the warriors and then Ember and Kellan. Slowly witho
HAVENI pace the room back and forth. My heart feels restless I don't know why."Something is wrong," I say to no one in particular."Haven, you're probably just nervous about the whole war that's coming, everything is okay. For now at least." Ember says.I shake my head, the feeling I'm having right now is foreign, I've never felt it before. It's like someone close to me is in danger and I can feel their pain and worry.Haven....I look around the room but everyone is too stuck in their own thoughts.Haven...I hear that small whisper again, like the one I felt when I looked at the forest on that island. Like those you hear in horror movies.What's happening to me? Am I going crazy because of stress.Haven... It's me.I close my eyes and my father's image flashes through. It's just a second, but I see him. Snapping them back open, I rush to the door, flinging it open and running down the hallway."Haven!" I hear Aamon call my name but I don't stop. Footsteps sound behind me and I'm s
RYDERThe sorceress stand at my left side while Kai stands at my right.I look over the boarder to Frostmoon's territory and look over at the sorceress."So, you'll use your power to temporarily freeze Haven and Ash or just one of them if we aren't that lucky tonight, then we'll drag them to our territory while our warriors remain fighting on the battlefield to distract Aamon and his friends. Then we can get on with the ritual, am I right.""Yes," she nods."Kai." I look to him. "I'm counting on you to keep Aamon busy.""Don't worry about that, cuz. I'll take care of him just fine.""Good, don't disappoint me."A few of our spy warriors are already out checking the perimeter, in a few minutes, they'll be back with news and then we can proceed.A minute later, they come back dragging someone with them."Sir, we found you something ."I take a step closer and narrow my eyes on the captive. One of the warriors grips the man's hair roughly and lifts his face up so I can get a better look
ALPHA HAIDENI ask Beta to lock the door behind him. The conversation he, Ash and I should have is very important. It's been two days since Ash gathered us all for that meeting and everyone has been alert ever since.Security has tightened around the house and the pack has already been moved. We can't take any chances. I must say that it's good to finally have my friend back."Aamon and Isaiah will lead the plan A group while I and Beta will lead the B group. Ryder and his pack need to think that this is just a war Aamon tends to fight on his own with a small group.""That will work." Ash agrees."Ash," I look to him. "You will be on standby with Haven and the other warriors at the back. We need someone to keep her in check once we head to the battlefield, she's si stubborn we can't leave her with just anyone, they wont be able to control her impulse. About Lydia, I have everything under control, she'll be guarded at the underground safehouse with the rest of the pack members."Ash no
