Thor's POVIt's been a long day for all of us so it's fine if she doesn't want to talk. I don't really want to talk either. All I want is for my mate to hug me. I want to breathe in her essence and fall asleep in her arms. I need her comfort now, more than ever but sadly, she also doesn't want to see me.Although I'm sure I can not go feral now that she's in my life. I still need her right fucking now! My brain is beginning to have that frustrating feeling of not being able to process important stuff except for one thing. This time, it's the images of the mangled bodies of my mom, aunt, and uncle. I can't seem to get that horrific scene out of my mind no matter how hard I try. I get dressed and slump back on the bed to wait so I can tell her everything. When I don't hear the sound of running water even after waiting for more than ten minutes. I stand up and move closer to the bathroom door. Pressing my ears to it, I hear voices laughing. Probably she's watching something on her phone
She's not here yet but her essence is strong, exhilarating, and heady. I want to stand up and rush to meet her halfway but I force myself to act nonchalant. I lean back and allow my eyes to drift shut like her presence doesn't concern me. After all, she didn't want to see me before. "Thor, Ash is here." I hear my dad say. However, before I can say anything in reply, I hear her speak to my dad."Good evening Pops..." They exchange pleasantries. She apologizes about what happened between her and Evelyn but my dad brushes her off."I was just concerned for you. Evelyn is a dangerous woman, don't ever underestimate her. Be careful and always stay on guard." He replies My eyes remain shut all through their short conversation as if my dad is speaking to a stranger whom I have no business with. Then I hear the rustle of clothes as he stands up."It's been a long day. It's time to rest these old bones of mine." He says and I finally open my eyes. "Yeah. Hug her for me, will you." I say an
What's happening to me? I wonder. Why does getting up from the bed seem like an impossible task? Why do my eyes feel as if they're glued to my cheeks? Why does my head pound as if a jackhammer is alive inside it? Why does my chest feel heavy as if an elephant is sitting square in the middle of my chest? Why?... I continue to wonder until something clicks and I begin to remember... Four men that smell heavily of cheap perfume... They came at us. They threw some kind of gas at us... My foggy brain starts to get clearer'US!'I was with my mate! Where's she now!? I can't smell her anywhere! Oh god! Could it be that we've been kidnapped!? What could they have done to her!? Even though it feels difficult, I need to get up and find her. 'God, don't let it be too late.' I pray as I try to push the heavy weight off me. I feel Kane wake up inside me as I struggle violently against it."He's waking up!" I hear a voice say from afar."He's not just waking up, he's shifting, can't you see! We
I arrive at my wing and stand at the entrance of my private living room, going through the exercise of slowly breathing in and out to calm myself. I don't know if Ash has by any chance woken up. I don't want her to find out about my foul mood through our mate bond. I know she won't stop asking me what the problem is until she learns the truth.What will I tell her then?... The truth?... That she nearly suffocated me while trying to protect me? Nah, I don't think so.The Seer was right though. Just that they don't understand the situation. If only they knew how scarred and broken my mate is as a result of what she went through in her parents' pack, maybe he wouldn't have insinuated I forced her into quickly accepting her parents.They don't understand but I do. I saw the disappointment and pain in her eyes when she learned that the man who failed to protect her as his employee was her father. Even though I promised I would never hide anything from her again, telling her she almost ki
Ash's POVBy God, Thor is a beast! If I don't know how much he loves me and hates to see me in pain, I would say he was punishing me for something I did previously.What he did to me... It was unspeakable. I have never known him to be that forceful and dominating during sex. He restrained and did things to me that made me put shame aside and desperately begged him to fuck me. The heartless man took me to the height where I needed to orgasm like my life depended on it and wouldn't go any further unless I begged him.When he finally granted me the pleasure of his dick, he was like a man on a mission. He dominated and rammed into me without mercy. He was rough but got me screaming for more. I was in pain, yet I cum like a rocket ship. It was a session of soreness but it was bliss. The overall sensation of pain, powerlessness, and pleasure mixed together was so intense and awesome I never wanted him to stop. We are both in a sorry state by the time he's done with me. My legs are shaking
Thor's POV "Three is a crowd man, what is the matter with you!?" I furiously whisper toward Eric when I'm sure Ash has gone out of earshot."Me!?..." He asks, looking as if he's shocked by my statement. "You should ask yourself that question, Thor not me! Didn't you hear what she said!?... I'm your best friend! I took care of your mate when you were not available so you should be appreciative of me from now on!" His words render me so speechless, that I roll my eyes in exasperation. "It's past two in the morning, asshole. Go to bed! I don't have time for your nonsense." I say instead and continue down the stairs."No!" He replies like a stubborn child. "I already accepted her invitation, so you have no other choice than to deal with my nonsense for now.""Fuck off, Eric! God, you're so annoying!""Not a chance. Besides I have something I need to discuss with you about those ape hybrids""I'm not interested in no fucking hybrids right now. I want to spend time with my mate. You can
Thor's POVIt seems as if I've only shut my eyes for some minutes when my phone's ringing wakes me up.'Damn you to hell!' I curse the person calling at such an ungodly hour not caring who it might be before hurrying out of bed to get the darn thing so it doesn't wake my mate.It was a roller coaster of emotions before she finally fell asleep in my arms. Watching her peaceful face as she sleeps right now makes me remember how blotched up with crying her face was hours earlier. Now I regret agreeing with Eric to allow Ella to handle that stupid maid's punishment. Ella is in charge of domestic staff. She handpicked those we brought with us to America out of many and she would be in the best position to punish them if there's any need for it.' He reasoned with me.Even though I know Ella would live up to expectations. I miss that personal satisfaction of watching that bitch suffer. I want to watch her feel unimaginable pain for speaking so lowly about her Luna and causing her so much gr
Ash's POVAt some point, while sleeping, I unconsciously notice that the delicious warmth and cozy feeling that I have gotten used to ever since I started sleeping beside my mate is missing. I immediately turn to his side of the bed hoping to be encompassed by the feeling again but I'm met with cold and empty space instead. Now half awake, I run my hand over the space and discover that it's indeed empty. My eyes open and I see that my mate is no longer in bed with me. 'Where did he go? When did he leave? Could it be that he's in the bathroom?' I sluggishly wonder as I sit up in bed. Even when I know he's probably around somewhere, that still doesn't make the hollow feeling I'm having in my chest at the moment disappear. It felt like when I was locked away from him.I grab his pillow and bury my face in it. His essence sends heat sizzling through my body. Serving like a reminder, instilling in me where I am. We're no longer apart. We're together. Nothing is keeping us apart. He's pr
"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
