Kieran~~I finally got to my room and quickly shut the door behind me. What the actual heck? The Alpha council and my father were debating over Nimue like she was some property or something. It was disgusting and infuriating!"Isn't this what you've wanted? For her to be out of your life?" Scratch asked inside my head. I groaned as I proceeded to walk toward my bed and crash on it. "Shut up, Scratch." My tone came off as pleading, but I didn't care.I used my hand to brush through my hair. Why did I feel so bad? Who would give a flying rat's ass if Nimue was forcefully settled down by the Alpha council?Not me!Scratch scoffed at my thoughts. "Pfft... Yeah, right. Keep living in your delusions as usual while your mate is being fought over like a product."Argh, he didn't have to make it sound like that!Just when I was considering going to take a quick bath, I heard the sound of a car pulling into the compound. I rushed to my window only to spot Jin's car driving into the compound.
As much as I hated admitting it, Nimue looked stunning even in her simple black dress. Her hair flowed gracefully as she walked gently down the stairs. Just then, her gaze met mine and it seemed like time stopped. Her eyes squinted at first but soon enough, she looked as entranced as I was. I couldn't help grinning and gave her a wink, but that caused her to look away in embarrassment. She was probably still furious that I'd seen her naked, but I had no regrets.The dinner went just the way I expected it at first, with Nimue not following my instructions and bringing drama with her. My father ignored her rude remarks all through, but I knew my old man well enough to know that she'd touched a nerve or two.When Dad brought up the mating ceremony and the incident with the young males of the pack, I knew shit was about to get real. I tried to act calm, but how could I when he stared directly at me while talking about 'wolf-repellant powders'? Damn it, I told that bitch Lucille to be c
I waited patiently behind the bushes, ignoring Jin's car as it drove into the compound. I needed to see who was inside Nimue's room.The girl had some nerves, letting a man into her room. Maybe I should go up there and catch them in the act."Uhh... I wouldn't do that if I were you." Scratch spoke cautiously. "Remember all your dad said? He has his eyes on you, Kieran. One more scandal and he'll probably use it against you to justify not making you the next Alpha."I clenched my fists, but my eyes were still fixed on Nimue's window. The shadow of the man was still walking around, but soon enough, I saw it run toward the window and shut the curtains close. Shit, that was fast."I couldn't even get a good enough glimpse of the bastard." I groaned out in frustration before walking out of the bushes.At this point, Jin had stepped out of his car and was heading for the mansion. However, he paused abruptly and turned to face me when I stepped out of the bushes.He sniggered amusingly. "We
Nimue~~When I got to my room, I shut the door as I struggled to catch my breath. Umbra was becoming more restless inside me. I glanced at the time on my phone. Shit, it was almost seven PM."Umbra, can't you hold on for... A little longer?" I pleaded as I remembered what followed during this transformation. I couldn't bear the thought of becoming a man again. A monster. Heck no, there has to be a way I could delay it. Unfortunately, Umbra's response was negative. "Sorry, Nimue. I don't think I'll hold on even if I could. Luna has already snagged enough time today and accomplished nothing, as usual."Luna protested with a shriek inside me. "Oh, hush! You're ruining Nimue's life, what's the 'accomplishment' in that?" Umbra replied indifferently. "I'm simply one of her wolves. It's not my fault that we're cursed."I groaned, shaking my head as my eyes saw double. My gaze was blurry, but I was still able to barely see the door to the bathroom. I slowly walked there, ignoring the int
Warning: Mature Content ahead. Not too explicit"Are you a virgin?" Jin blurted like it was such a normal thing to ask.My brows creased into a frown and it seemed I'd finally come back to my senses. That question was so out of pocket. I stepped away from Jin but he only stepped closer, his face stoic as ever. However, I was able to notice the amusement he got from the situation by how his eyes seemed to light up. "W–Why does that even matter?" I asked with a defeated shrug. I couldn't tell Jin that I was a virgin. He'd probably mock me for it.Just then, Umbra spoke excitedly inside me. "Nah, he'll teach you, Nimue. And don't underestimate me in this form... We're naughtier than you think."As for Luna, she scoffed. "Ugh, y'all are weird."I ignored her remark as Jin spoke carefreely. "I came here today with one goal in mind. To make you comfortable in your skin, as a man." He paused, his eyes trailing my body, causing me to gulp with an embarrassed blush. Luckily, he averted hi
After we freshened up, Jin drove us to school. Bruno tried requesting that I stay behind and tag along with him as usual, but I politely declined. I'd take riding with Jin anyday over riding with Kieran. Especially after the drama the latter caused yesterday both in school and at home. When we got to the campus and stepped out of the car, it didn't take long for me to hear whispers directed at us. Rumors had begun spreading that Jin and I were actually an item or in some secret relationship. But I ignored all the remarks and went ahead to walk into the building for classes. "I'll see you later." Jin spoke flatly before walking away, leaving me alone in the hallway, which was becoming more and more crowded with students. I sighed. How dumb was I to think the enigmatic Mr. Kisaragi was a romantic?"Nimue!" A voice shrieked from behind me, making me feel like disappearing. Gosh, why did she have to be so loud? I wasn't proud of that name!I turned back to see Nadia running toward m
I turned to meet Brock waving at us with a sheepish grin. His friends stood a few feet behind him, gazing at Nadia and me with disdain. "Crap, it's too late to hide. He's seen us." Nadia glanced at me and Brock repeatedly before focusing her gaze on me. "No matter what, don't get into any fights with him, okay?"Ugh, easy for her to say. Unfortunately for me, Nadia's aunt stopped in front of us just then. The car's horn blared, signaling Nadia to get in. She turned to me with a wry smile. "I gotta run now. Good luck." And with that, she hopped into the car, leaving me behind with 'Mr. Can't take a hint. Seriously, did I have to spell out that I didn't like the boy?I turned to face Brock and his friends who were only just a few meters away from me now. "What's up, sweet face?" Brock grinned, eyeing me with a lustful gaze. Heck no, I knew that look all too well."I don't need your ride, Brock. Thanks though." My tone was laced with sarcasm as I grabbed my backpack. However, befo
I blinked awkwardly. Where do I even begin?Not wanting any trouble, I waved it off. "It... It was nothing. Brock and his friends just wanted to apologize for last time." I chuckled, hating how nervous I sounded. Jin scoffed, his eyes trailing me with an unreadable glint. I tried avoiding his gaze, wondering what was in his mind. After a while, he blurted bluntly. "That didn't look like a mere... 'apology'. But it's okay. Just remember, if you ever need my help or if any of them dare lay a hand on you... You come to me, okay?" He placed a palm on my shoulder, forcing me to look him in the eyes. I gulped before nodding like an obedient puppy. Crap, I hated when he made me feel like this. He smirked, patting my face lightly. "Now that's a good girl. Come on, I'll drive you home."Phew...We walked to his car and hopped in before he drove off. When we got to the Alpha's mansion, however, I was surprised when we met my mom, a few old men and Alpha Viktor standing outside the mansion.
