My eyes widened in confusion.

'Was I raising my voice at him?' I wonder as I feel the air rush out of me in a sigh

"Oh, my! Was I really!?... I'm sorry, babe, I didn't realize!?... I didn't realize my voice was raised..." I say timidly as I slowly walk back to him.

How can I be so passionate about pleading a cause to the extent of raising my voice at an innocent man? My mate! I feel so guilty and ashamed of my behavior.

"Come here..." He says and pulls me back into his arm, hugging me closely to himself

"I'm sorry. I guess I was too passionate about this matter to pay attention to my attitude..."

"I understand. It's cool..."

"No, it's not! I'm highly disappointed in myself."

He gently pulls away from me and lifts my face with his finger under my chin

"I understand the reason for your behavior, babe. I'm not offended, I promise."

"Okay," I say and smile with relief

"So, how can you get me the old couple's application? Let me have a look and see what I can do for them."

    I first noticed him sitting in the shelter's lobby, waiting with his family while Evelyn and I were arguing. His mate and kids– they all looked tired, their clothes worn and dirty. After my disagreement with Evelyn, he made sure I was alone before he walked up to me.I at first thought he wanted to ask me to help with his family's application when he approached me. Mere looking at those kids, I think I would have eventually offered my help even if he didn't ask me. I asked him for their applications and he told me he was not applying. I was confused at first, I mean if you're not applying then what do you want with me?He reached inside his pocket and hastily pushed what he brought out into my hand. He wouldn't even allow me to look at it. 'No one must see it, it's for the Alpha's eyes only,' he said and begged me to immediately put it away. All the while we were talking, I noticed he looked very frightened. His eyes kept darting around the place like he was afraid something would com

    I see everyone is present for dinner except for my father-in-law. "Hey, guys..." I greet them as we enter and they greet back. "Where's Pops?" I ask as I walk toward Uncle Elias who is gustily tucking into his food. I'm yet to congratulate him on meeting his new mate."He's having dinner with his friends," Henrik replies to my question and I thankfully smile at him. Even though I asked about Pops, I'm secretly glad about his absence at the dinner table. Despite Thor's assurance, I'm not sure I'm ready to face him yet because of what happened between me and Evelyn."Luna..." Uncle Elias slightly nods his head at me with a smile as I approach him."Congratulations, Uncle. I heard you found your mate." I say"Yeah..." His smile widens. "And I heard you're good friends with her daughter, Victoria.""Yes, we are. We were together even today– but why are you eating here? I heard you're taking your mate out to dinner. Did you cancel?" I ask and Eric suddenly bursts out laughing. Sounds o

    My eyes meet with Thor and he smiles at me in assurance.'Don't worry you will learn to control your wolf. We know who your real parents are, remember?' He says through our mind link, before giving me a quick kiss. My parents! The thought of having anything to do with them sets my teeth on edge. I push the thought of them to the back of my mind in the meantime and concentrate on what Uncle Elias is saying."Like I said earlier, Ultimas and Supremas have superhuman powers. Great powers. Thor, I know have the power to heal and flash travel for example...""Oh, so that trick you always pull on me when we just met is called flash traveling?" I ask in wonder, looking from Uncle Elias to Thor and he smiles "It's no big deal. I can only flash through a short distance...""It's certainly a big deal." Uncle Elias interrupts. "Apart from Seers who can see the future, no shifter is blessed with supernatural powers except for the Ultimas and Supremas, and you can only flash through short distan

    Immediately Thor starts the car, I suddenly remember something I want to talk to him about..."Babe, I've been meaning to tell you, I want to speak with Anders about birth control methods. I thought I should let you know before I approach him." I say. I don't know if it's a woman's responsibility to take care of this stuff between couples. Whoever responsibility it is, I wasn't expecting my mate to just nod and "hmm" without interest. He doesn't even spare a glance in my direction. It's so unlike him to display such an unconcerned attitude toward me and I wonder why it's happening now. 'Could it be that he has changed his mind about waiting?' I wonder "Huhhh... We both agreed we'll wait until after I finish college before trying for another baby, remember?" I say, trying to get him to be more expressive on the topic but no.His attention however is focused on the road ahead. When he finally looks in my direction, he has this oblivious expression on his face like he doesn't know my

    "Oh, yes. It's about our visit to your parents. I was hoping you'd ask me for feedback but you didn't. Aren't you curious to know what we talked about?" He saysI shrug indifferently, letting go of his hand. 'What is there to be curious about those people? Will knowing the outcome of their meeting reverse the injustice I suffered in their pack? Would it change the way I feel toward them in my heart?'"You're my mate, do I still need to ask you for feedback when I know you'll handle everything perfectly in my stead?" I ask "In your stead?... Ash, I can't always act as an intermediary between you and your parents, you know. You can't avoid them forever.""I'm not trying to.""Oh, that's great then. They're coming to Alpha's mansion tomorrow by 7 p.m. They're anxious to see you.""I'm not ready to meet them, though," I say, looking away from him to the passing scenery outside the car window."Okay, that's understandable. When are you going to be ready to meet them so I can call them to

    Thor's POVEven though I'm convinced Ash's parents were indeed manipulated with sorcery, I still can't help but resent them all over again. What Ash said about Alpha Nate acting like it was nothing when he walked in as she was being kicked by his Gamma chief made me so angry I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from acting rashly towards the old wolf if he was near me at that particular moment, father-in-law or not.And then there's the issue of visiting Martha's grave and the fact that I lied minutes after I promised not to ever hide anything from her again. I feel bad about lying to her but what could I have done? She was upset about her parents just now, how could I dare to tell her about the mysterious disappearance of her dear adopted mother's corpse at that moment?I sigh with relief when we arrive at Silver Moon's shelter at that particular time. Our timely arrival saves me from any further discussion on the topic."Are you okay?" Ash asks, breaking into my thoughts.'Of co

    As Bear and I increase our phase down the stairs, I hear Ash's footsteps also rushing toward us.What the fuck is wrong with this girl! Didn't I just tell her she can't enter the basement with us!? Why the hell does she have to be so damn stubborn!?I am furious at her disobedience. No one, not even Eric dares disobey me this way after I've given a direct order. Angrily, I turn back to glare at her. She stops midstride and glares back at me in defiance. This is fucking unbelievable!'She's also Alpha, remember? We Alphas don't take well to people commanding and bossing us around.' Kane's voice suddenly breaks into my angry thoughts. 'Don't blame her too much for her defiance attitude. All you need to do is take time to communicate your reasons with her so she will understand you better.''I don't care if she's Alpha, Kane! Someone just fucking screamed, dammit! We don't know what's going on down there and how dangerous it is! Alpha or not, I'm not going to give in to her!' I furiousl

    Eric questioningly raises his brow at me when Ash goes to Ivar's car and sits in the back seat with the child still cradled in her arms instead of my car."Don't ask." I curtly say with irritation to his unasked question before turning my gaze to Ivar. "You go ahead to the pack with the women and kids. We'll follow as soon as the cargoes are loaded.""Yes, Alpha." He says and walks to his car."No, you're not riding with them..." I call back the woman who also moves to follow Ivar with her hands still bound behind her back."Huh?..." She says, looking at me in confusion like I just spoke to her in a foreign language."You heard me. And you should know I hate to repeat myself." I tell her, signaling to Timothy to take her to either Eric or Henrik's car. She frowns then, refusing to budge from where she's standing."My kids...""Are going to be fine..." I impatiently cut her off mid-sentence, finishing her statement for her."No!" She says firmly. "I want to be with my kids! You can't

    "The Council Chairman!" I exclaim with surprise when I see a familiar white-haired old man walk out from beside the villa and towards the aisle. "The Council Chairman is the officiant!?"He grins"Surprise!" He says with a flourish "Now walk. And remember, your best man is closely behind."I happily smile and nod at our guests as I walk behind the old man hobbling on his walking stick.I can't believe that the Council Chairman himself is going to officiate our wedding!? He's already so old but still makes the time. Today sure is full of pleasant surprises. He arrives at the front and turns to face the guests."Council Chairman, what an honor this is," I say as I arrive before him, my back to the guests.He smiles "Giving the opportunity to join the Chosen ones of House War-Cloud and House Howell in matrimony is a great honor that I dare not pass to another."I nod and he also nods backEveryone arrive at the front and stand at their respective places as we had rehearsed.

    I look at my Patek Philippe Nautilus watch before getting up to start dressing up. Just as I put on my tuxedo jacket, someone knocks on my door."Come in," Eric answers Timothy enters, already dressed for the occasion."The guests have arrived. The ceremony will begin soon." He saysI nod and reply,"We're ready. We'll be out soon." He nods and leavesEric finishes buttoning his tux before turning to me. He looks at me critically as he brushes something off my satin lapel and straightens my bowtie."Hmm..." He says satisfactorily before taking a step back. "Hair– on point. Skin– flawless. Tux– immaculate. Shoes– nice pair, they really compliment your outfit. All in all, you look good, man. Your bride will fall in love with you all over again."I smile at his compliment."What about the ring? Do you have it?" I ask to be sure he hasn't forgotten."I have it right here." He replies with a nod, patting on the area it is resting inside his tux. I exhale and nod"Then shall we?" He

    Instead of going back to sleep like I tell him, he groans and slumps back into bed."Ugh!... C'mon, don't be a bitch about this."I scoff, looking at him in disbelief."Who's the bitch here? You're obviously tired and need to rest. I'm allowing you to do that but you can't see my good intentions." I guess he thinks I was being sarcastic when I apologized for disturbing his sleep.He sighs and gets out of bed then go to the wet bar. There, he gets a bottle of water and gulps it down in one go. "Now I'm awake..." He says before asking me, "Water?""Yeah, sure," I replyHe hands me the water before going to sit on the sofa."Alright, tell me about your anxiety attack.""I can't sleep. I thought I mentioned that earlier." ''Why can't you sleep?""How the hell am I supposed to know? I just can't!" I know I sounded defensive right now. That's because I know this conversation would end up with him poking fun at me."I wouldn't have found sleep difficult if I was at Alpha's mansion. My m

    Two weeks laterThor's POV 1:10 am! I glare in disbelief at the digital clock on my bedside drawer as if it's its fault that time chooses to be moving at a snail's pace today of all days. It was 12:49 the last time I checked, I can't believe that only nineteen minutes had gone by since then."Ugh!" I growl and slump back in bed as I recall all the advice I got yesterday from all the females around me. (that did not include my mate, mind you. I haven't spoken to her in two days because of some Howell's wedding tradition)"You should go to bed early, Alpha," Lily said as they were about to leave for Night Howlers Pack. (They are Ash's maids and matron of honor.)"Yes, you should." Carla chipped in, nodding, before I could ask Lily why she wanted me to go to bed early. "Poor sleep can lead to breakouts, you know?" "Breakouts?" I asked, looking at both of them with interest."Yes, breakout. Believe me, Alpha, you don't want that..." Clarita replied, looking appalled as she shook her he

    I step out of the lobby's revolving door and frantically look around me. I don't see him anywhere but his essence is stronger. He's definitely here."Ma'am..." A voice questioningly calls and I turn around to see Jeremy, one of my security details that comes from my Dad. I wonder where he sprang from? "Have you seen the Alpha– I mean my mate?" I say, handing him my backpack."No, ma'am, I haven't." He replies, looking in the parking lot's direction."Yeah, maybe he's just arriving," I say and hurry towards the place. When the parking lot becomes visible, I smile when I see him leaning on his car reading a book. Immediately, he turned in my direction and grinned as if he knew I was coming. I know it's because he smells my essence.I run, speedily closing the gap between us, and then jump into his arms, tightly wrapping myself around him like a koala bear hugging a tree."Oh, hi, monkey." He says, chuckling.I laugh, slightly pulling away from him "Hello, monkey's husband," I say. "

    Twelve weeks later"Prom is more than a dance, Miss Reynolds. It is also used to celebrate and honor students who excel in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities..." Mrs Jones, my homeroom teacher, lectures me. "Even though you're only spending this term with us, your excellent performance has made you popular among the teachers. You're also loved by not just your peers but also your juniors. Even though you're a new student, they voted for you to be on the prom court, and with what I've been hearing on the grapevine about you, I'm sure they would vote for you to be this year's Prom Queen. Now, won't they be disappointed if they find out you don't want to be part of the event? It would be a shame if..."'Would it? Aren't you over-exaggerating?' I think as I continue to listen to her drone on and on. Contrary to what she's been saying. As far as I know and can see, no one truly cares about anyone amongst my peers in Apex Academy. Most of them are rich, pompous, opportu

    "You didn't have your wolf and you weren't aware of my existence. I just recently figured it out myself. That was why I said earlier that a lot of things about our bond recently became clear to me. Even though I was made aware of our mate bond, I didn't know it was such a big deal. Uncle Elias also didn't see it as such; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten me a girl on my birthday. Only The Seer knew. Knowing he's one of our number one fans, I guessed he also didn't make a big deal out of me being with other women before I met you because he knew the connection between us was not complete. You were too young. You were six years old when I was sixteen..." It suddenly feels as if I've been slapped in the face with the difference in our age. Damnit! Why didn't I think about that before!? Now that he called my attention to it, I feel I've been insensitive. To think I was eight years old when he was eighteen! An eight-year-old child is too young to shift to their wolves and has no busines

    "About us..." He replies, and my body stiffens. "About what happened before you left for Hill-backside." "But I thought everything was fine now. We are fine now so why do we still need to discuss that?" I say and want to stand up, but from his lap, he prevents me, holding me in place. "Please..." He says, looking at me soulfully I exhale "I just don't see any reason why we should talk about that. We're fine now, aren't we?... I love you. You love me. Nothing else should matter except that." I say, not knowing if I should confess to him my real reason for not wanting to discuss that matter. Should I tell him I'm afraid to hear what he wants to say? I'm afraid I might not be able to bear it if he tells me how he manipulated his way around our mate bond? Should I let him know I would rather pretend Delilah never happened than risk hearing about her and not be able to forgive him out of jealousy. How would I let him know that I just want to forget the bad memories. I don't want to di

    Even though it bothers me, I'm not really surprised when I return from the bathroom to see Thor in his nightwear, sitting on the sofa far away from the bed. At least now I know without doubt that something is indeed bothering him.He stands when he becomes aware of my presence."Can we have a few words?" He asks seriously and my heart thumps again.I nod. Few words about what? What could be bothering him this much? I wonder as I walk towards him. He doesn't need to say another word before I know what he's about to discuss is very serious. It's written all over his face. "I sensed something was bothering you. What do you want to talk about?" Even though I asked, I dread his reply and hurriedly add"Don't tell me! I don't want to know...""You don't!" He exclaims. "But we really need to...""Okay– but please not right now!..." I plead. "I can tell from your expression that what you want to talk about is serious and I... I don't want to talk about anything serious right now, Thor! Tod
