"I... I don't know what I am anymore, Leon! I'm so sorry! I should not have come here!" I said and turned around to leave, but he grabbed my hand and stopped me.
"Don't be sorry, Amaya! I am glad that I have met you! I was so... lonely before. So, please stay?" he said, sounding more like a question.
"But the rogues! What if more will come, Leon?"
"They will! You can be sure of that. But we will fight them all. Plus, I was planning to show you the pack! I'm sure you will love it!"
I was about to say that I would love to do that when he falls to the ground. His eyes went into the back of his head, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Leon! Leon, what's
"Here, put this on while I make some tea for us," Leon said, entering the bathroom, fully clothed.He was wearing black jeans and a dark blue t-shirt, making his eyes look like emeralds in the sunlight.His mate will be lucky to have him; always kind and energetic even after he was one step away from dying; he still smiles as nothing happened."Thank you, Leon! I will be there in two." I said, waiting for him to exit the room so I can get dressed. Not that he hasn't seen me naked till about thirty minutes ago, but this doesn't mean I need to walk like this in front of him. He is a man, after all. And I respect him.I put on the black jeans and the white t-shirt that he left for me on the bed, and I made my way downstairs.&
"We should go eat something if you are better now! And then we can stay home and watch tv if you do not want to go to the pack anymore. Whatever you choose, it will be ok for me.""I want to go, but do you think they will like me? Or they will fear me too because I'm a hybrid?""Oh, Amaya! They will adore you! I'm sure of this." Leon said and got up, holding his hand out for me to take.I looked at him for a second, and they took me, giving him a small smile."Thank you, Leon!""Always!" That was all he said before leading me downstairs."I made some eggs and bacon for us."
After a ten minutes walk, tiny houses came into view. They looked all similar, whit small gardens surrounded by white wooden fences.The streets were full of women, men and kids, either playing, chatting or running. Laughter was filling the air.It reminds me of home in the good times."Welcome to the Black Moon Pack, Amaya!" Luca said as soon as we entered the small city."This is so beautiful!" I said, trying to see as much as I could."Wait till we get to the city centre."Leon starts laughing at his brother's excitement. Then he looked at me and nodded his head.
Leon stepped inside the Alpha office, gesturing for me to follow him."Alpha, please meet my friend Amaya! I want to ask you if she can stay here for the night?""Come forth, Amaya! I don't bite! Well, I do, but only if necessary." Alpha said and started laughing.I was looking to the floor as Leon told me when the Alpha suddenly got up."You... you smell just like her! Who are you?" Alpha asks in a solid but hurt voice.I lift my head, and my eyes lock with his. Green eyes were looking at me in disbelief."Mia figlia...?" Alpha asks in a low voice. His eyes hold love, pain and
SearchingOren povIt's been three days since Amaya left, and I feel like I'm dying.I postponed my coronation as I can't get myself to focus on anything. A fogged mind is not what a King needs. And how can I be able to rule this Kingdom if all I can think of is my Alter?Tonight I will leave. I need to find her. Hopefully, she can forget me for not doing this earlier."Oren, son, what's wrong?" My father's voice came from behind me.I was sitting in the office looking out the window with a glass of whiskey in my hand.
Last night's dinner was so lovely. We have talked and laughed about a lot of things. I could say that for a moment, I forgot about all the sad things in my life.Maybe my place is here with them, the werewolves. Perhaps I should forget about Oren and the Four Seasons realm.After all, I am a Princess of this realm now. Soon I will become Queen of the werewolves."Amaya, where are you?" Cameleon soft voice. I was sitting in the vast garden with a cup of coffee in my hands, waiting for the sun to come up."I'm here," I said, chuckling, knowing precisely what he meant.He starts laughing and sits next to me on the ground.
"Come on, Amaya! It's 3 pm already, and you are still in the shower!" Anna's pitched voice came from the other side of my bathroom door."I'm coming! It is not my fault that this shower feels so nice!" I shout back, smiling at myself in the mirror.As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, the girls pulled and sat me on a chair."Don't move! We have less than two hours now to get you ready!""Well, it is not my fault that the dress you prepared for me didn't fit me.""Indeed!" Anna said, earning a chuckle from the girls."Who is Bianca, By the way?" I ask her.
It was way past midnight when I decided to go to my room. These heels were killing me."Father, I will retreat now as I am so tired. I'll see you in the morning. I want to know more about our kind.""Sure, Mio figlia! Go, I will take care of the guests," he said, kissing my forehead.I smiled at him, and I walked out the door.As soon as the door closed behind me, I took off my uncomfortable shoes."Uhh! These evil things will make me break my legs."A loud laugh made me turn around and take a fighting position."Leon?! What the fuck? You scared t
Three months later"Mom! Hurry up! We will be late!" I yelled at my mother, who was still in the shower.Today we will finally celebrate the freedom of those who were held captive by the Marino family. I could not do it earlier as I wanted for them and my mother to recover enough so they can enjoy this day.Besides, I was pretty busy.Making plans to expand our territory and building more houses is not an easy thing. I had to do this for all of those who want to come here.Anna and Leon decided to get married a month and a half ago. She is pregnant in four weeks. So imagine the excitement.
We were running through the forest for more than three hours now. The place where my mom was held captive should be close.'We will need to shift back soon. The place will be full of loyal Blood Moon Pack warriors. We need to be careful.' My father said through the mind link.After another ten minutes, we shifted and got dressed in the clothes that we brought with us."So what now?" Oren asks."We need to get in that cave. But from what I can tell, there are about twenty guards." My father said,"Twenty-six. There are exactly twenty-six guards—six at the cave entrance, eight hiding in the forest and the rest inside. I can't feel Cora, though. But that
"Amaya! Watch out!" Leon and Anna shouted at the same time.I shift straight away, trying to avoid Cora's attack.It was still hard to breathe but more manageable than in human form. I need to do something quickly, or I will die suffocated.I shift back and create an ice cage sound Cora. The cage quickly became a cube, and she was stuck inside. Breathing easier, I fall to the ground."Fuck! This was the third time already. She won't stop trying to kill me.""What are you going to do with her?" Leon asks."Hmm… for now, leave her there! We need to find my mother!"
Everyone was watching me, trying to get Cora to fight me alone. They all were gathered around us, waiting for her decision."Why will I waste my time, Amaya, when I can have the pleasure to see you suffer every day?"Cora said, smirking. She must have figured out what I was trying to do."Hm… so you are afraid of me then? Thank you for letting me know."She watched me with narrowed eyes, expecting me to do something. So I did."I challenge you, Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, for your position!" I said in a confident voice, loud enough for everyone to hear.He took a step forward, intending to hit me but
Oren's povI ran as fast as I could to reach the portal. Amaya told me to bring everyone to the Water Kingdom, as it was the closest to the exit. In case she was caught, I needed to do this. But I could just not let her fight alone.The women and girls were exhausted, but I did not let them rest. We were now just a few minutes away from the Water Kingdom borders.They stopped, breathing heavily and fell to the ground."I'm sorry, Oren, but we cannot continue like this." The older woman said, looking at the others then to the ground.I walk towards her and place my hand on her shoulder."Is, ok. You are saf
"Wakey wakey, Queen of no Realm! Is time to meet your destiny." Came Cora's annoying voice.I open my eye, and instinctively I get into a fighting position."Easy there! Not that I would not enjoy ending your misery, but my brother has other plans for you. So you better get dressed because he doesn't like waiting.""Do I look like I care what he likes? I do not give a fuck." I said, clenching my fists."Is this the way you speak about your Mate, now?" Mateo's voice came as soon as the door opened."You are NOT my Mate! But you are sick! Both of you!" I yell angrily at their smirks."Well, bro
I look at her, annoyed and confused. How is it happening that she has no scent? And worse than this, all of the ones that were with her were the same, scentless."Of course I come. I have missed you so much!" I said sarcastically and took a step in her direction.The little girl behind me started crying when Cora shouted at me."I would have killed you long ago if it wasn't for that stupid brother of mine. But now, what can I do? I need to take you back to your Mate!""Mate?! He fucking rejected me five years ago! I am not his Mate or his surrogate bitch! Let this get in that thick skull of yours, Cora!"She clenched her fists, looking me in the eyes.
The wall opens like a door to reveal stairs that lead to a dark tunnel."Stay behind me!" I said to Oren, who was about to protest when desperate screams filled the air.I rush into the tunnel only to stop in my tracks, terrified by the view. It was a dungeon. Dim lights were placed in every cell, making it possible for us to see the looks full of fear of the prisoners."Oh my God, Amaya! How sick can one be to do this?" Oren asks, going to the first cell.The dungeon was full of women and girls. All of them were in terrible shape. You could see how badly they were treated by way of them flinching at any slight noise."It's ok! We will get you out of here! No one will ev
I look in the direction where Oren was pointing, and I see a beaten woman barely breathing. Immediately run towards her keeping my guard up in case some lousy wolf appears."Oh my God, Oren! She is almost dead. Who would have done this to her?" I ask, checking the woman's pulse? She was alive, but without proper treatment, she won't survive for long."Oren, we need to help her!"He opens his mouth to speak, but the dying woman interrupts him.She was trying to speak, but the wound from her neck made this problematic."Is ok, we will help you," I said, caressing her forehead.She grabs my hand with her trembling and covere
