Her eyebrows shot up in surprise when she heard who her parents are"Huh?... Are you kidding me right now!?... Alpha Nate and Luna Raina are my biological parents!?... Like seriously!?..." She continually asks as she smiles in disbelief at the same time. She's smiling but her eyes are devoid of that warmth that comes with being happy."Yes, Ash. Alpha Nate and Luna Raina are your biological parents." She chuckles "Yes, they're my parents!?" She says questioningly and laughs again. This is fucking unbelievable! Oh my– this is so fucking unbelievable, Thor! Nate!?... Alpha Nate and Luna Raina, my parents!?...And I suppose Celine Walker is the maid that exchanged me while Miranda the bitch that tried to take you away from me is the baby she exchanged me with, right?" "Yes, you're right..." I reply "Holy shit! Wonders will never cease!" She exclaims all the while smiling. Anybody seeing her right then would think she's happy and excited about the news of her parents but the rever
My eyes fly open the moment my phone starts vibrating against the hardwood floor where I dropped my pants the previous night."Thoooorr– your phone..." Ash drawls sleepily beside me."I'm up! I'm getting it!" I drowsily say as I feel around the floor for my pants. I bring the annoying thing out from inside my pocket to see it's Eric calling me."Are you awake?" He says the moment I answer the call."No, I'm not!" I sarcastically snap at him "Who am I speaking with then if you're not awake?" He asks and chuckles, ignoring the fact that I just snapped at him. Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood for jokes. I'm not tired, I just want to sleep some more. Last night was wild between my mate and me. I had always thought no female– human, werewolf, or vampire, could satisfy my sexual urge until now. She was a little inexperienced when we started but was eager and quick to learn. My star student.After several rounds of crazy sex without our wolves. We woke up our wolves and then another ma
Ash's POVI'm surprised to see Thor in the bedroom, hair wet and in the process of dressing when I come out of the bathroom."Wow! That's fast!" I exclaim. I'm surprised he finished bathing before me even when I entered the bathroom before him. I don't want to be the one that will delay them so I hurry to the side of the bed where I notice some shopping bags are kept. I open one of the bags and bring out the first clothes I see. It's jeans. Without wasting time, I look through the other bags for a shirt and underwear. I got dressed and put my hair in a ponytail. No time for anything fancy.After dressing, I look around and gather our dirty laundry in an empty shopping bag. I can't just leave them lying around since the villa doesn't have a maid yet. I'll take care of them when we get back to the mansion. I look at Thor and see he's also fully dressed in tight-fitting navy blue pants and a white short-sleeve shirt with the first two buttons opened. He looks so hot I feel like begging
I barely wait for Thor to properly park when we arrive back at Alpha's mansion before I get out of his car, making sure to slam the door hard behind me.I am angry. I thought I could ignore him but I obviously couldn't! Who am I deceiving? I couldn't even eat the fruits I brought along with me. The book was totally useless as I couldn't move past the summary. The music was no better. All I did through the one-hour ride was pretend as if I was sleeping while I peeked at him under the veil of my lashes. I am angry with him for doing a damn good job of ignoring me when I couldn't return the favor and I am angrier with myself for being such a love-sick puppy. I would have loved to see Uncle Elias and congratulate him on finding his new mate but I'm not in a celebratory mood right then. So to avoid everybody, I went in through the back door to look for Ella.My stomach rumbles loudly, reminding me that the last time I ate was yesterday at lunch. I abandon my search for Ella and go to the
I can't get Thor and our silly bathroom issue out of my mind. I was angry with him before but being alone with my thoughts gradually changed my perception about the whole thing. From being angry, I found myself regretting locking him out of the bathroom even though I did it to save us time. I later blamed myself for everything. 'I shouldn't have locked him out of the bathroom.' I kept thinking to myself 'Maybe if I hadn't put up the wall between us then things wouldn't have gotten this worse.I should have handled the situation differently. I should have apologized and made sure we settled before he left for Night Howlers Pack.After some time, I told myself I needed to get busy. I need to find something to occupy myself with instead of self-blaming. But what?Ella is busy taking care of her duties. You might find it hard to believe but I've covered the High school and SAT exam syllabus and I've solved every past question Eric sent to me with the books. Now there's nothing left f
Thor's POVI admit to acting childish. She made me angry but I shouldn't have acted the way I did. I shouldn't have ignored her. I didn't mean for the issue between us to take this long before it was resolved. I just wanted to ignore her until we arrived at the car so she would know how it feels. How I felt when she locked me out of the bathroom and also prevented me from talking to her through the mind link.I thought we would talk about it in the car and settle before we arrived home. I wasn't expecting her to return to the car armed to the teeth with tools she would need to ignore my existence the more. I was disappointed and pained and my anger became fuelled. How can I be planning to settle with her and she was planning not to?Damn, Eric! Why couldn't he mind his own fucking business! He's supposed to help calm her, not encourage her to ignore me. What the fuck is his problem We arrived at Alpha's mansion and I was surprised at how she couldn't wait to get away from me. The w
Even though it's Sunday and Alpha Nate told my dad his maids take Sundays off. I'm still not comfortable meeting him at his home or p ack house. His house or office will never be safe enough for us to talk about my mate. I want somewhere more private where I wouldn't have to worry about listening devices and secret cameras, which might have been planted in his house or office to monitor every one of his moves. I'm not going to risk whoever has been planted to monitor him, listening in on our conversation. I want Celine and her entire household in my custody. I want Mitch, his Gamma chief. I want Hank, his Beta. I want all the five werewolves that wanted to rape my mate in the woods. I want Miranda. I want every fucking person that has ever hurt even a strand of hair on my mate's head. I want them to suffer for all they did to her I told my dad to tell him to let us meet at the house we stayed at when we used his pack's hospital. I chose the place because it is secluded. A big site
Just like he said he would, Alpha Nate is already waiting for us outside the house when we arrive and as we park our cars, he walks forward to welcome us, going to my dad first."Knox, when you said 'we' I thought it would just be you, Thor, and Eric of course..." He says as he looks in my uncles' direction while shaking hands with my dad.My dad just smiles. He didn't marry my mom but to my surprise, he introduced my Uncle as his brother-inlaw. "Nate, this is Elias, my brother inlaw. I've told you so much about him." He saysAlpha Nate also can't mask his surprise fast enough on hearing what my dad said. He extends his hand toward my Uncle."Alpha Elias, I have indeed heard a lot about you. It is my honor to welcome you to my Night Howlers Pack" He says with a smileUncle Elias smiles in return"The honor is mine, Alpha Nate. Thank you for welcoming us even when we show up without notice. " He replies as they firmly shake hands. After they release each other's hands, Uncle Elias t
"Yes, we came as soon as your Dad told us. He drove down here like a madman, almost killing us in the process!" Eric complains behind Thor and I laugh, gently pushing away so I can properly look at my man."Oh, babe!" I say. I touch his head and all over his face while telling myself, this is real. It is not an illusion. My mate is standing here before me. He's holding me in his arms."I'm not dreaming or am I?..." I seriously ask, looking deeply into his eyes. "This is not an illusion?" I ask again, kissing him this time. "Eric and Lily are not playing tricks on me?" His smile widens as he shakes his head,"No, babycakes." He replies and then crushes his mouth onto mine. His lips push mine open, making way for his tongue to deeply delve and explore the insides of my mouth. I kiss him back as fiercely, clinging tightly to him with my arms wrapped around his neck and my legs around his waist."Did that feel like an illusion?" He whispers into my ear after he pulls away from our kis
I enter the doctor's office, expecting to see Doctor Anders but it's another doctor that I see sitting in his chair. The man's eyes widen with surprise as I enter. "Oh, my!..." He exclaims and immediately stands from his chair, bowing so deeply his head almost hits the desk in front of him.He recognizes me even though we've not met before. Indeed the news about me saving everyone has spread amongst the warriors. I guess they also know I'm the one with the Lycan wolf. I wonder how long it will take my Lycanthropy secret to spread to the outside world."Luna–ma'am... I'm so sorry! I– I didn't know– I mean, we weren't expecting you! I would have personally gathered everyone to welcome you if I'd known and..." "No, that won't be necessary..." I say with a smile. Gather everyone to welcome me! Isn't that doing too much? I look from him to Ella. "I was expecting to see Doctor Anders?...""Oh, that's my bad, Luna, I should have informed you ahead of time before we arrived here..."
"I saved us!? How did I do that!?" I ask in disbelief since I don't remember doing anything but cry."We lost our powers. He was separated from the rest of us. The witch's plan was for me to watch him die a painful death and all I remember doing was cry. So how did I do it? How did I save us?"You screamed..." Lily replies I frown"That was it!?... I just screamed?" I ask not understanding how that helped save people's lives."Yes!" Ella says with excitement." You screamed and combusted!..." My eyebrows shots up in surprise as I continue to listen to her talk"The General told us all about it. He said it's one of your abilities. Besides, I was there that day when Alpha Elias asked about your powers and you told us what happened when you screamed in anger once."That was the day Miranda and the Council police came to arrest me. "That was what saved us!? And I combusted!?" "Yes! You screamed and burst into blue flame. They all flee. Fighting to escape the agonizing pain your screa
Ash's POV "Come on, babe! You can do it!" Thor softly says behind me. "Control is in the mind, remember? You control your powers with what your mind will and wish for. It will do what you ask it to do. It will harm or kill anyone you wish to harm or kill." "But I'm trying!" I shout with frustration. "I'm trying but it's not working!""Try harder!" I hear Granduncle Beowulf's firm voice say. "You're Goddess Sif. The chosen one of our House Howell. You're also a Lycan so give it your all! Try harder!""If you want to do it then you have to stop panicking so you can be able to concentrate." My mom's gentle voice takes over from Granduncle Beowulf. "Calm down. Relax and try to breathe through it. You can do it. I believe in you. Breathe my darling, breathe..." "Okay!" I say, nodding my head as I take deep breaths in before letting it out slowly. "I am Lycan. I am Goddess Sif. I am the chosen one of House Howell. I can do it. Control is in the mind...Control is in the mind...Cont
My eyes widen when the ground drops from underneath everyone right before my eyes. Or should I say they're floating above the ground? What is this? What is happening all of a sudden?I look around me and realize, no, not everyone, just the werewolves! The wereapes and hybrids are standing firmly on the ground while the werewolves float above it.Wait, I'm a werewolf. Why am I not floating with the others? Why am I the only one standing with our enemies?And why is everywhere this quiet all of a sudden? What happened to the mighty growls and groans? Come to think of it, they didn't just stop growling and groaning; they're motionless. They look frozen in place? "Thor!" I hear my name and my heart skips a bit with apprehension.Ash. I would recognize that voice anywhere. I suspected they wouldn't be able to stop her. Now she's here. God, why does she have to be here now that everything is turning upside down? My eyes search among the crowd of werewolves above the ground until I see
Thor's POVThe outcome of a battle could be decided by various factors which include the skill of the commanding officers, the numbers and experience of the warriors, the instruments and weapons used, the battleground, the weather conditions... and so onMind you; I said 'could be.' No one can predict the outcome of a war. Even if you get all your ducks in a row before the battle or your warriors are already having the upper hand during the battle, unexpected circumstances can suddenly turn the tide and fuck things up for you. Back in Denmark duels and battles between packs are the norm. It's a way to expand our territories, establish honor, and settle disputes. I've fought in many battles in the fifteen years I stayed with my uncle but none as crazily wild as this. A few minutes into it, I realized despite all the training we've had, we're still far from ready. Werewolf vs Wereape is a fair fight. Werewolf vs. hybrid is death sentence, especially for the nonoriginals among us. I
What the hell! I shockingly gaspIt's not a wereape child. It's a human! A human child wearing a wereape costume! My eyes narrow in disbelief when I see more hybrids coming out from behind her. Like, they're literally coming out of thin air. When Eric and Lily opened their portals, I saw the air shimmered before the space opened and widened into a hole big enough for multitudes to pass through. This is just plain space. More of them are coming out of plain, space! I whirl around, looking for Lily, but I don't see her anywhere.The only human form I see driving a dagger into a wereape's heart is a stranger. A black woman that reminds me of a character in a famous movie series. Oh, yes. Ancient witches take the form of another when their identity is exposed or they don't want to be exposed."Lily!" I growl over the chaotic howls and growls around us and the woman turns to look at me."Lily?" I questioningly call again to double sure and she smiles. Hurrying to me as she wipes her bl
The air reeks of blood, burnt flesh, and the sickening stench of dark wolves. Mighty growls and snarls reverberate all around me, filling my head with vivid images of the battle raging nearby.Even though my Lycan is running fast and hard, the loose beach sand slows me down, making it feel as if I'm running in slow motion. Damn, dunes! And damn Thor for sending me to the farthest part of the beach where hills of sand are molded everywhere.My heart beats wildly inside my chest. It's not only because I'm extremely anxious though. It's mostly because I'm feeling my mate's emotions– rage, fear, frustration, desperation... This makes me wonder, if the mighty Thor is feeling this way, then doesn't it mean the apes have the upper hand?I stumble and growl out in pain when I suddenly feel a sharp unbearable pain on my right flank. I touch the place and subconsciously look down at my hand. What was I expecting to see? Blood? I wonder.Almost immediately, I feel another ripping pain on my l
The moment I rise to follow the rest a strong hand holds me back. I turn to look at the person and I see Thor looking down at me, clearly looking worried. I wonder if he had been behind me all this while. I couldn't have known since our essence had been masked by Lily so the enemies wouldn't be able to smell our presence.I try to switch my grim expression into a smile but I'm not sure I manage to successfully pull it off. "Baby, we...""Do you remember what we talked about when I got my Thor power?" He hurriedly asks, cutting me off mid-sentence I frown, trying to recall that particular conversation "About control?" I ask He nods"Yes, about control. You're Goddess Sif. The chosen one of House Howell and a Lycan. If the time comes then don't be afraid to summon and use your powers. Control is in the mind. You control your powers with what your mind will and wish for. It will do what you ask it to do. It will harm or kill anyone you wish to harm or kill, you understand me!?" H
