As I walk down the stairs, I pause on a step when I notice the living room is deathly quiet. The atmosphere charged with emotions I would rather avoid than be in.

I see Thor standing in front of one of the windows that looks out to Lily's lush garden. Erect and rigid, with his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Even though his back is turned to me, I find him formidable and intimidating. I'm a lycan but still find the aura he exudes threatening. I find myself dreading another of his outbursts.

Eric, who seems to be more or less in the same mood, is standing away from him, looking out another window.

Did something happen between them? I wonder as I look at the others with their grim expressions clearly on display.

Although I don't regret it, I wish I hadn't put down my wall to block him out of my mind. I wish I knew what was going through his mind right now. I take another step down the stairs and then freeze when he suddenly whirls in my direction.

For about a second or two, our ey

    Thor's POVI am visibly shaking with rage as I watch Ash leave with her father. Right now, I am more angry with him than I am with her. Whether he is her father or not, he has no right to take her away from me. She's my mate and he has no right to intervene in our family affair. Something he knows nothing about. As an Alpha, he knows quite well that what he's doing is against the law. I wonder if he would have been that brazen with me if he wasn't my dad's friend. It doesn't even matter if he's my dad's friend. He should be thankful he's a man I respect so much, otherwise, I will make sure he pays for the consequences of his actions today.As I watch them walk away, I feel a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it comfortingly. I don't need to turn around before I know who it is. He turns to look at me,"It's just for the main time. I'm sure she just needs some time off to gather her thoughts. As a matter of fact, not just her, you both need to take several steps back to think about today

    Goddess! I was that big an asshole to my mate!? Hearing Martha say she thought I would hit her makes me want to hide my head in shame.As hard as it is for me to believe I was that irrational towards my mate, I know Eric would never lie to me. Even without Eric's confirmation, I would never confidently accuse Martha of talking shit about me because I know the kind of person I was before I met my mate.I went feral after witnessing the death of my Mom and Eric's parents. Although I got better after some time. The people closest to me knew I never actually got better. I became irascible. Always irritable and would blow up in rage at very little provocation. One such occasion was when I beat and almost killed my martial arts coach for calling me a bastard when everyone present knew it was just a flippant remark he made to get me to put more effort into my training. Such was the life I lived until I met my mate and her essence made me a better person as the Seer had predicted."Now you

    Ash's POV "That's our ride over there." My dad points to a car parked in front of an abandoned building.As we approach the car, the driver's side door opens and a man steps out and opens the passenger's door for us. I recognize him as one of Night Howlers Pack warriors. "Dad, wait," I say as I stop walking. I owe him a lot of explanations about why I went missing and what he witnessed happen between Thor and me. I can't tell him anything in the presence of a non-family member. He stops and smiles at me."What is it? Having second thoughts already?" I can tell from the smile on his face that he's teasing me. But then, his expression suddenly changes and turns serious."If you want to go back then...""No, I'm not going back!..." I reply sharply. "Not right now anyway," I add immediately when I see his eyes widen with shock."Alright." He nods. "I'm sorry you had to witness that..." I indicate in the direction of Lily's house so he will understand what I'm talking about. "I know I

    I've never seen a plane this close before in my life and I feel so excited that I'll be traveling in one today."Wow!" I can't stop my jaw from dropping in awe when I see the interior of the plane. I never knew a plane could be so extravagantly furnished."We will talk in the bedroom." My mom says as she leads the way."It also has a bedroom!" I exclaim in wonder under my breath, not thinking anyone would hear me but she did.She briefly turns to me and whispers conspiratorially, "Yes, it did." I laugh."Care to share what's funny?" My dad asks, seeing both of us sharing a secret laugh."No. It's not your concern. Girls' stuff." She replies good-naturedly before winking in my direction.I see some of her concern about me from earlier has eased off a bit. It's amazing how well we quickly take to each other as family. Anyone seeing the way we relate with each other would never believe we just reconnected as parents and daughter a few months ago and it's all thanks to them.My parents

    The moment we arrive at Night Howlers Pack, my mom whisks me off to go shopping for clothes. The boutique she takes me to is high-end of course. She leads me to the female section and her expert eyes immediately locate a dress. "Oh, honey! Check out that one!" She exclaims, pulling me to the dress that caught her eye."We're not here to get party clothes, remember?" I say when I see her pull out a beautiful floor-length strap gown from its rack. I will be the center of attention if I wear that to school.She sighs dramatically,"Dear daughter! Of course, I know we're not here to get party clothes. Remember I told you we don't wear this sort of dress to events. The gown you wear to events must always be one of a kind. Exclusively made for you by Javier's Couture or any designer of your choice. This..." She holds the dress up in front of me with a big smile, "...is perfect for a date night with your mate and it's exactly your size so what do we say we get it?" She asks expectantly. U

    Thor's POV As Eric is parking the car, I see my Dad come out of the house with a big smile readily displayed on his face."Fuck! What am I going to tell him?" I groan out loud, watching him walk toward the car Eric and I are in. "The truth. Exactly the way it happened so he will know you didn't deliberately set out to fuck everything up. It happened because of misunderstanding and miscommunication on both your parts.""Do you think he will agree to wait until later before I update him? It was a long drive. I need to let Kane out and go on a run.""Me too. But does he look to you like he can wait to hear why she's not with us when he's looking like he can't wait to see her?""No, he certainly doesn't," I reply We tarry in the car a little, watching as he nods and greets my men all around before grabbing Henrik by the shoulders, and looking toward our car as they talk."Well, not like we can stay in the car forever," I say and push the door open.His smile widens when he sees us.

    After the run with my dad, I saw a message on my phone from Elder William Peterson, requesting an urgent meeting with the Council chairman so I didn't get to call and apologize to Alpha Nate until the following morning."Thank you, Alpha." He says after listening to my carefully rehearsed speech. "Thank you for understanding the dilemma of a father. I must confess, I never think you would want to make peace with me after what I did. Allow me to apologize for that. Please accept my apologies.""It's alright. I understand." I reply. "Parents instinctively protect their children from whatever they feel would hurt them. I would do the same if I was in your shoes.""Thank you for your understanding..." He says for the umpteenth time. "Umm, Alpha, It's understandable if you expect she would return home as soon as possible but I'm afraid that might not be possible...""Oh!... Why!?"My heart sank with disappointment as I asked.

    I ignore his question and stand up. "Where is the letter? What day is the summit scheduled for?"He sighs as he continues to stare at me."Did you fuck things up with Ash again?"I roll my eyes."Don't think the worst of me, man.""I'm not thinking the worst of you, I just asked a question, which you haven't answered by the way. You said just now that you called Ash with your phone, how then did the phone end up being crushed so badly? Did you fuck things up again?"I return to my chair and slump tiredly into it, putting an arm over my face."She's not coming back any time soon, Eric. She planned on returning to school at her parents' place. Twelve weeks is how long she planned on staying this time... Fuck my life." I hear him chuckle."You don't have a functioning brain where your mate is concerned, do you?""Yeah..." I reply sarcastically, removing my arm to glare at him. "Thank god you have a mate now. Let's see how well your brain functions where she's concerned.""Touché..." He

    "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!..."

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.

    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.

    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

  • Fated To The Evil Viking    375. Unexpected circumstances

    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?"
