DawnI dreamt again and this time around, it was following me like a shadow. This time around I wasn't afraid, it was like a cloak and my wolf liked it a lot. In my dream, we roamed about a weird city and it was guiding me through it. It knew everything about the city and me. It behaved like it was part of my subconsciousness.I tried times without number to get a look at it but when I turned around or tried to look at my shadow, it was nowhere to be found. I woke up a bit dazed and confused about the whole thing. I rolled on my very soft bed and stared at my room. Everything in here was temporary and I didn't think I should bother to claim it. But after lunch last night, the three ladies whose names were Kayla, Layla, and Tayla, dragged me out of the pack house to the different stores in town where I made tons of purchases.They were odd triplets, who were together at all times and had a weird sense of humor. I didn't understand them most of the time and I suspected that they didn't
Dawn A crowd was gathered outside the pack house. From within it, I heard snarling sounds that seemed to be coming from a young werewolf. The crowd parted for Kaden, Lex, Princess, the triplets, and I. Noting the way the crowd regarded them, I made a mental note to find out what exactly the Triplets do and who Princess is. A boy was in the middle, baring his teeth and lunging at anyone who moved an inch closer to him. Kaden and Lex exchanged a glance and then shook their heads. “This is the 6th time this week alone,” Princess complained beside me. “We don't even know what it is that possesses these kids.” Apart from the deranged look in his eyes and the purple stain on his lips, the boy in question looked harmless. I raised a brow, wondering why they were all so concerned and more importantly why they were all gathered. “Why not inject him with a sleeping tab or something,” I murmured, not understanding what the fuss was about. Princess shot me an incredulous look. “That b
RhysI couldn't get the image of her cradling an unconscious pup while wrapped in that blanket out of my head. Neither could I stop stalking her even now.I'd been in the dungeons interrogating one of the rogues. A lot of them had been straying into my territory recently and it made me antsy. My gut told me that something was wrong. Something was coming and it had to do with Devon's death. What did I need to do to let the world know that I wasn't interested in becoming Alpha Prime? I didn't want anything to do with that position. Yet someone out there was sending spies into my territory.It was obvious that they had already started hunting for the Crest, even before the new Alpha of Creekside was crowned. And those greedy people suspected me most of all because they believed that I wanted it the most. I didn't blame them. In public, my relationship with the Old Alpha looked horrible. When he was still fit, we argued and almost always fought.I accused him of everything under the su
DawnThey led me to a Lab that contained everything I needed. I was impressed by the sheer size of it. It was also well-equipped. Creekside didn't have anything like that in all its years. Mother had some tubes for mixing herbs, but that was it. The lab was dusty and full of cobwebs. According to them, it had been locked up for decades.The triplets looked spooked and refused to enter the Lab with us. Even Kaden looked a tad uncomfortable.“What's wrong?” I asked, clearing the cobwebs with my arms.“Rhys boarded this place up after both his parents died and banned everyone from coming here or even mentioning it. It belonged to his mother.” Kayla said from the door. I froze. “Yeah?” I asked, my voice breaking.A beat of silence passes before I turn around. “You know what? Let's go to the infirmary. I can borrow some containers from the kitchen. Or just simply crush them, mix the pulp in water and strain it out. We don't need the lab.”Princess dragged my arm, “Rhys wouldn't mind. Be
DawnWe waited around for about 10 minutes before Kaden instructed us to move. We slipped casually out through wide, winding hallways until we got to the backdoor.There was no living soul in sight. Even my wolf couldn't feel anyone close by. It amused me. Delta's were very efficient.We found the triplets lounging outside the door, looking bored. “What did you say about training with us?” Tayla asked, linking her arms with mine. Kaden grunted and Princess rolled her eyes. “Leave her alone. Don't put ideas in her head now.” Princess warned.Tayla smirked and exchanged looks with her sisters, who had similar expressions.“And before we forget.” They said simultaneously, then laughed.We all turned towards them. “Forget what?” Kaden asked impatiently. “Marcus is around.” Layla completed.Princess stopped short. “When?” She gasped.“I just got here.” A familiar voice said smugly. We found Marcus standing by the entrance of the Pack house, with folded arms and a deep frown.Seeing him
RhysShe had become a lot more attractive. She'd put on a little flesh, and there was color on her skin. Her hair blew in the wind, and I itched to run my hands through it. Dawn had always been a sight for sore eyes. But now she was goddamn breathtaking. And it only took two weeks for this transformation to occur. She'd somehow worked her way into the heart of my pack and was everyone's sweetheart.The most surprising thing was seeing her work in my mother's lab. Lex told me of it, and I was so pissed that I rushed down to rip her out of it.Yet, I stopped short at the sight of her smiling and humming in an unfamiliar but beautiful tone. I stood transfixed. I didn't know what she was working on, but this was the most relaxed I'd ever seen her.She drifted around happily like some sort of fairy. I finally understood why my father insisted that the walls of the Alchemy lab be transparent. He could stand and watch her work for hours while forgetting to do his own work. I'd found it unn
DawnThe attention that I got after helping the kids was insane. I was invited to every social gathering and every event. Rhys' decree helped a lot because I was able to mingle with pack members.My days have become pretty busy. After breakfast, I joined some female nobles who were in charge of bestowing knowledge about the Luna position for lessons.It was a bit weird because I had no experience whatsoever. Plus, there were very beautiful female nobles who'd been trained since birth for a position that I was tossed into in the same lesson. By virtue of my marriage to Rhys, I was treated above them, and I could feel their distaste, jealousy, and anger. Even the tutors regarded me in an odd way. Thankfully, Rhys' decree kept them from expressing how they truly felt. After the dreadful lessons that sometimes involved practicals and outings, I retreated to the lab and spent most of my time in it. It was my favorite place in the world.I'd wander into the forest with the triplets trail
RhysI found myself in her room, frowning as I pretended to inspect the place as they fixed the door. I also instructed them to include a connecting passageway to my room and conceal it from her.Her room felt like home. Everything was perfect, from the pale blue gradient on her walls to the silver bookshelf and the window nook. The room was bathed in her scent that my wolf had grown to obsess over.When I ripped the doors away and bathed in earlier, I stopped short at the transformation. It was beautiful and much like her. She was sleeping soundly in my room now, and I Itched to go and check on her. But that was against the rules I gave myself and everyone. It was as if I'd fallen into a trap that I had set for myself, and the worst part was that I wasn't sure I wanted to escape the trap. Without even trying, she called me, and I couldn't help but answer. I ground my teeth as the bitter memory of her drifting away. We thought she had fallen asleep, but suddenly, she started choki
