I immediately duck when the door rattles violently as Thor pounds on it again and again."What am I going to do, god!? What am I going to do!?" I talk to myself as I crawl toward the kitchen island and fold myself inside the open compartment which is the stupidest thing ever but what can I do?Smile and welcome him with open arms like I didn't leave without a word for two months!? Like I didn't feel his emotions through our mate bond as he cried and begged for me to return to him? And like I didn't cut the phone on him and switched it off afterward when he called yesterday, pleading with me to talk to him?Oh, damn you Lily for leaving me with this mess! Damn you to hell and smithereens!Before I can think up a proper explanation to give my furious mate, I hear a loud crash that makes me jump with fright as the screen door crashes backward into the living area.I shiver where I'm crouch as he bellows my name,"Ash!?" His angry and menacing tone of voice sounds like what can wake the
Eric suddenly frowns and exclaims "Oh, what happened to you, you're bleeding!?"I follow his line of sight down to my right leg. My eyes widen with shock when I see a long bloodied slash on my jeans. "Oh! I thought I felt some kind of pain around there. I didn't know it was this serious. Maybe..."Thor is crouched by my side with my leg placed on his lap before I'm able to finish my statement. He moved so fast I didn't notice him move."Yes, it looks pretty serious indeed. You must have cut yourself on the broken screen door. We need..."I angrily snatch my leg away, not allowing him to finish whatever idea he wants to share with me. "Thank you for admitting it's all your fault. We don't need to do anything. You've done enough as it is. I'll take care of my injury myself.""Shut up! Somebody bring me a first aid box!" He snaps as he lifts me in his arms. Shut up! No way!"I told you I'll take care of it myself! I have a first aid box in my bathroom. So please put me down! I don'
Thor's POV What the hell!Eric is a wizard! And he is not just an ordinary wizard but an ancient one at that!Wao! This is big!All that I'm hearing Ash talk about sounds pretty far-fetched. I can't believe that what Eric and I thought were strange dreams are actually memories. Memories of when he first lived on earth, many centuries ago. And I probably wouldn't have ever believed if Eric himself isn't corroborating everything Ash says and conversing with her as if the issue they're discussing just happened recently."Wait, you already knew you were a wizard!?" I interrupt them in astonishment when he confirms one of Ash's statements to be true.He shakes his head, negating my question."Uhh, not really. Even though my mom was a witch and I recently started having strange dreams where I see Lily and myself amid the same set of people, speaking in foreign languages and performing magic, I never thought I might be a wizard because I have never done magic in real life no matter how smal
"Now, wizard, shall we proceed?" Ash asks with a laugh "Of course." He replies, also chuckling. I hope you're not going to start calling me that though. Like Ivar said before, I looked too young to be addressed as such. Jokes apart though. I really do not want to be addressed as a wizard. I still prefer my given name. Besides we don't want to announce this to the whole world do we?He's smiling as he talks but it's obvious from his tone of voice that he meant what he said. Aside from that, he made a valid point. It would be unwise for us to allow our enemies to discover this early that we have someone as powerful as an ancient wizard backing us up. "You're right." Ash agrees, nodding in understanding."Okay, so you said you already know what Lily's essence smells like.""Yes... Even though I can't smell her right now, I still remember it from the last time. It's Jasmine– with some tantalizing herby notes to it.""Aww..." Ash says. Her face lit up with excitement, obviously happy abo
While Eric and his mate kiss the hell out of each other, my eyes are on my mate who is currently watching the couple, smiling proudly and happily as if they're her greatest achievement. We're just seeing each other after two longest and loneliest months of my life but here she is with her wall down, ignoring and treating me like I don't fucking exist! And over what exactly!?...Okay! Fine! Agreed! I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated her the way I did when I came in. I would never have treated her that way if she hadn't provoked me to anger anyway. Shouldn't she have understood that my action was driven by my emotions!?How did she expect me to react to the way she disappeared with no word but a text that explained nothing!? How did she expect me to react when I called and she not only ignored my call but also switched off her phone? How did she expect me to react to the way she ran and hid instead of welcoming me when she realized I was in town looking for her? How did she expect
I open my mouth to talk but Lily interrupts before I have the chance to get any word out."No, Alpha. You got it all wrong. She didn't contact me. It was me that contacted her. I brought her to me without her knowledge." I look away from Ash to her in confusion."I don't understand," I say. She turns away from me to Eric instead and starts to explain further. "You remember how the ritual of separating a wolf from its human body is done right?..." She asks."Of course," he replies with a nod.She also nods before continuing "I was in Africa when I noticed the position of the moon. It was unexpected because I wasn't watching out for it. I had my mind pinned on the following month you see, so I had to urgently flash back home because...""The blue moon. It came out earlier than expected this time?" Eric interjects."Yes, yes, it did!" She replies, breathing with relief that shows she is glad he remembers and corroborates her words.I must have looked confused since Eric turns to me j
I hate daytime. The rise of the sun which usually brings some level of joy to others has only brought sadness to me. My suffering would usually begin with back-breaking chores as the sun rises and would go on and on while getting physically abused in the process, till late in the evening when most pack members finally retire to bed. What makes it worse is that my body is not strong enough to withstand the magnitude of pain they inflict on me, and I don't heal as fast as a normal werewolf should. I feel the impact of every blow and kick they rained on me more than I would have felt if I had gotten my wolf. I'm not a normal werewolf you see. I'm a very late bloomer. Normally, the shifting age for werewolves is fifteen years. Sixteen for late bloomers. When I didn't shift at even seventeen years, I became the omega freak who is the butt of every joke. The stress reliever for every frustrated and the punching bag for every aggressive pack member, most especially those that called themse
After the Alpha, Luna, and Beta, the Gamma wolves are the next in command in a pack's chain of command. They are the supreme protectors of a pack which puts them among the high-ranking and most respected officials of a pack. No wonder all the shifters inside the dining hall had shock written all over their faces when I didn't rush to do as the Gamma chief had commanded. They thought I'd gone crazy for having the guts to disobey a high-ranking officer of the packI squat in front of Martha's chair instead and look into her eyes that has tears in them. Martha is not a shifter. She's human, yet she treats me better than my own kind. As if she's my mother."I told you I'll make the coffee, Martha. You could have hurt yourself! You didn't even have your walking stick with you, what if you fall and break another bone?""I'm sorry child. I just wanted to help. When I saw you were already behind schedule... I - I was trying to help so you wouldn't get punished, instead, I made it worse... I
