I better not believe it. Up until now, Adler’s character still confused me. Since I was young, all he ever did was bully me. Though it stopped recently, I wouldn’t say he become good. Because he didn’t. If ever, his just character became more incomprehensible and petty to me. Just the other day we argued about meeting Conrad. He blackmailed me. He wanted me to stop seeing him, and I still couldn’t understand why. On top of that… he fucking kissed me. “Let’s pretend it never happened,” I said coldly, before I picked up the fork. “Didn’t I just tell you not to talk about it? I wouldn’t—” “I’m talking about the kiss.” I sliced the bacon, stuff it inside my mouth. I took a spoonful of fried rice right after. I looked up to him to see his reaction. But his face were unreadable. He was lightly looking down with his lips pursed. I couldn’t see his eyes because it was focused down on his plate. I could only tell he was taken aback by it. He was silent. “Do you not really remember anyth
My brows met as I took a step forward. I opened the window, put my head out, and looked at him more intently. He repeated what he said with a hand gesture telling me to get down. I didn’t know what his appearance was for, and what he wanted to talk about but considering he took the effort to come here and bother me by throwing rocks at my window, he probably wouldn’t stop unless I really go down. So I did. I sneaked out. Jade and Gunner was probably at the other room since I could still smell them, so I was careful not to make any noise. I wasn’t sure if they sensed me leaving, though. I went out the house and approached Adler, who was then wearing a hoodie and a pants. A pair of shoes, and a gold watch and necklace. He looked like someone who was all ready for a late night out. “What are you doing here?” I asked with furrowed brows. “Alice hasn’t come back, right?” He casually asked. “Come with me.” “Where?” “I know someone who could help you, Avalynn.” He pulled up his hood to
My breathing hitched. It was one thing. The moment I read my mother’s journal, I asked myself the same thing. How was my mother able to tell I was wolfless? During that time, she still wasn’t supposed to know. It had to be that she was aware. There was no other way to explain it, otherwise. “Do not corner her, Amelia.” Adler’s voice was serious. “We only wish to know why she have two mates, and why her wolf disappeared yesterday night.” “This is all connected to its root, Adler. Which is why I wanted to know about her father. Because if my theory is correct, Avalynn is a hybrid. And the reason why she have two mates is because of her identity. While her wolf was tied to you, her other half was tied in another. The Lycan. It would’ve been a diffent case if her second mate is also a wolf. That said, I feel positive that she truly is a hybrid.” I shut my eyes tight for a second. Though I did not want to acknowledged it, her explanation was clear and concrete. It had me re-think. What
“What debt?” I asked. “For the years you’ve spent bullying me?” He cocked his head but didn’t answer. Almost as if he was holding back himself. I looked at him for a couple of more seconds, before I looked away and sighed. I was frustrated right now. If I’d continue to sit here with him as I deal with all these emotions, I would’ve projected it all to him. Specially when we’re not in good terms. I would definitely end up releasing it all by pointing my finger at him. I stood up from my seat. With a worn-out look, I took a glimpse of him. “I’m leaving.” He bowed down his head. “Amelia told me something before she left.” “If it’s about me being a hybrid, save it, Adler—” “She suggested that we should spend more time together to bring back Alice. She said it was the fastest way” I breathed in, slowly. My eyes went somewhere else as I tried to understand what he just said. My left hand went to my left shoulder. I caressed it in disbelief, as I stood beside him with a cold heart. “A
I was wrong to ask him that. I knew it the moment I saw his eyes turned dark. A certain emotion crossed in it, and I felt afraid to comprehend it, so I looked away. His tone sounded a little playful. So was the small curve in his lips. I bit my tongue. “When are we going to see her next?” I haven’t laid all my questions yesterday night because I was flustered. I was shocked, and caught off guard that I wasn’t able to ask her everything. But now that I’ve learned how to be open with it, I kind of what to hear more from her. Though, it will still definitely came down to who my father truly was, another moment of talk would help me see the bigger picture. “Amelia isn’t just an ordinary wolf, Avalynn. I only managed to track her down through my father. There wouldn’t be another anytime soon. So, I suggest that while we wait, you should confirm your father’s identity first.” Adler sounded smart saying that. He didn’t sound like the Adler I knew then. He didn’t sound like the jerk Adler
My hands were cold as I went out of the door. My heart was ramming fast. I was mentally panicking. The Alpha just said he wanted Alice to dispose of rogue wolves that invaded our village. How could I do that? Right now, I didn’t have Alice with me! Shit. This was what I was fearing. What if the Alpha found out? I mindlessly went straight to Adler’s den after that. I didn’t know why, but my feet brought me there. The next thing I knew was I was in front of him, almost teary-eyed with a troubled expression. I wet my lips, and ran my fingers through my hair. “Adler, your father summoned me.” “I heard,” he said in a serious tone. “He called me after you left the house.” “What do I do?” My breathing hitched. “If I don’t go, he’ll question it. If I go and don’t turn, he’ll find out.” “He won’t.” There was finality in his voice. “It’d be just the two of us, Avalynn. Let me do all the work. If he asks, I told him I insisted to dispose of them.” I held my forehead. “What if this is a tes
My lips parted. I held my forehead. I felt Gunner lean down to put me on top of him. I didn’t want to, so I moved away from him. I heard him scowled at me, like he was scolding me. He repeated what he did in haste, but I was stubborn. No. I refused to do the same mistake I did several years ago. I wasn’t going to let all of them die here. Not Adler’s fanatic friends. Not Adler himself. I knew the rogue wolves were coming at me. I also saw Adler picked himself up to stop them. My chest was already beating fast and loud. I was scared. Upset. Anxious. I was pained to witness all of this as a remembrance of what had happened when I lose my mother. I winced in pain. Gunner tried to take me with him then, as Adler and his friends try to stop the wolves. The Alpha announced that I’d be his second in command. If these invaders had good informant, they would know by now who I was. That’d probably why they’re coming at me now. “Go, Avalynn!” I heard Adler screamed with rage. I shook my hea
I guess I was still in shock. After the short talk I had with Adler, I really wasn’t able to pick myself up. I was flooded by my inner thoughts. I was in the process of letting what just happened go. Like decoding it. I was feeling all the emotions I felt then, only to completely release it. I was really scared. Though I was also in a risky situation, and I admit that what I did was reckless because if Alice didn’t really return, all of us would’ve been dead all because of my stubbornness, I couldn’t say I regret. If I had allow Gunner to take me, I would’ve hated it more. It would’ve killed me, more than the time I lose my mother because of my incapableness. Because the first time was something I didn’t see coming. I was a kid, unable to make rational and wise decisions. Whilst this was a second time, where I was more adult to do something. I palmed my face and breathed hard. I wonder how Adler’s friends were doing. My eyes widened. I flinched, as a realization hit me. I quickly
After Adler learned about my pregnancy, he couldn’t stop worrying about my condition. I was thankful that he did those great things for me, but sometimes, I couldn’t stop to feel irritated whenever he was with me. He changed a lot, but I still know how to protect myself, especially in my condition.He was proud, especially when he announced he would be a father. He didn’t even mind if some werewolves were teasing him about his actions toward me. I understood that they were still shocked that he was my husband, my mate, because of what they knew about how he treated me.“Hey! Where are you planning to go?” My eyes rolled when I heard his voice again. I woke up and decided to go to the bathroom, but he caught me walking. Adler always overreacted! I didn’t like it anymore.He was too afraid that we might lose our baby, especially since he found out that he needed to take care of me with gentleness because of my condition. Gunner didn’t stop making fun of him.“I want to go to the bathroo
Adler didn't know how to react, especially when I pushed him onto our bed. He gasped but didn't even try to struggle with me. He licked his lips, and he didn't remove his eyes from me.“Hmmm..” I hummed when I stroked his dick once again. I tightened my grip on it and slowly moved my hands. “Shit! It's so hot,” He moaned, arched his head, and groaned. I lowered my head and stuck out my tongue to lick the tip of his length.He was shocked when he felt my tongue licked every inch of him. I stared at the tip of his cock, and I saw his precum. I licked it, making him grunt violently.“Shit. Avalynn, where did you learn this thing? Damn it. Don't you dare do this to another man!” I didn't dispute because I focused on what I was doing for him. Jade was right. It was enjoyable that I saw how my mate rated whenever I was licking the tip of his cock.I gulped because I was nervous, especially when I tried to suck his length. I couldn't entirely suck it because his size was too massive. I cl
I was dumbfounded and felt irritated when Adler didn't even think twice about leaving me. Shit. I was embarrassed because he knew that I was too horny. He could smell my scent.“Adler!” I called his name, but he didn't even say anything while he was inside the bathroom. I gritted my teeth in so much frustration. I didn't like what he did, and I would make sure that he would regret leaving me while I was too turned on because of him.‘It looks like you taste your own medicine. It's fine, Avalynn, but I didn't like that Adler chose not to continue what he is planning for you.' Alice spoke to me when I decided to leave our room.I groaned when I already understood what she meant. Damn, she was a dirty wolf. How could she even think something dirty? However, what made me agitated was I liked what she thought. ‘Shut it, Alice. You're not helping me. I want to push him to his limits.’‘Aren't you scared that he might punish you? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're too excited to get his t
“Welcome, Alpha Brandon,” I stared at the beautiful stunning Alpha; his cold eyes bore into us. I didn't even know that Adler had a friend like him. Alpha Brandon didn't talk with us, but he only nodded. Oh, he wasn't approachable, too. He began talking with Adler, and it seemed serious.“Okay, we will continue the training contest in our packs. My members are so excited to know about it.” Brandon stated, making Adler nod. It had been a year, and Adler was pushing to have a deal with another pack. He had been creating some allies to be the powerful Alpha. Brandon seemed stronger, too. I could do it because of his massive muscles, and I couldn't stop staring at his face. Damn.I noticed Adler glared at me. He coughed, and irritation was too evident on his face. “Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Avalynn, my wife,” Adler said, “Baby, come here.”I strolled slowly in their direction and bowed when my eyes met Brandon's sight. His eyes made me seem shallow; it looked like he wanted to ent
Avalynn's POV "There'd be no escape for you, Theodore," I told him with a smile curving in my lips. We have sealed all the exits. Every part, and every direction of this forest have wolves waiting for them. They were also surrounded, and outnumbered. This was exatly what they did to my mother back when I was still young. They beat her to a pulp knowing she was weak. They killed her in the worst way possible. I wouldn't give mercy now. I wouldn't show a heart to someone who doesn't have it. A tooth for a tooth, Theodore. I gave them my signal. In one swift move, Theodore, and the others were was attacked by the wolves in this land. The other howled as they inflicted pain on their bodies, while the other growled in hunger for their blood. I stood in front of them and let them weakened their body. Though they regenerate fast, they wouldn't keep up if they attain a lot of damages. They could try though. I didn’t turn to my human form and watched my friends, and the elders on this pa
(Third Person's POV) The tradition their pack usually does was interrupted with the anticipated arrival of Theodore and Conrad, blocking Avalynn and Adler's way, the two remained on guard and alert. They have prepared for this, and they knew these two weren't alone. Theodore will never dare to show up in their territory with only Conrad. Theodore wasn't that dumb. But he was sure impulsive. Avalynn scanned the area. Within her circle, she sensed the presence of Lycans coming their way. She didn't sense it earlier so they didn't have that much to prepare, but Avalynn and Adler managed to jumped on time. As soon as the Lycans arrived, surrounding the two of them, it didn't surprise them anymore. They immediately cornered them. Avalynn and Adler had no choice but to get close to each other and watch out. "This is our chance," Theodore said. Theodore and Conrad began to walk towards them. Avalynn was looking at Conrad intently, and Conrad was the same. Theodore had evil smile on his
Avalynn's POV Everyone's eyes were glued to us. They were too focused as if they were all waiting for us to do something wrong. All of them were wearing their keen eyes, witnessing the inauguration on this day. I was standing firm, becoming the Luna with Adler, the new Alpha. Am I nervous? Maybe or maybe not. What should a new Luna feel when she was being crowned and proclaimed in front of everyone? I wanted to look in their eyes one by one only if they were not this many. "What's on your mind?" Adler asked beside me. "A lot," I simply replied. I can see him smirking from my peripheral vision, but he remained calm in front of everyone. "You must be excited," he said. His expression was straight. But I couldn't help but remember the last thing we talked about as I looked at it. It distracts me remembering how he asked me back if I would stay if he say he liked me back. "I am." Both because of what would happened tonight, and because I finally would have the power and and autho
Conrad's POVDays passed, and I lost count on it. When Theodore told me that my mate bond with Avalynn ended because she chose to marry Adler, I lost it all too. The pain, the love, and even the guiltiness that was bothering me before faded and vanished later on. I feel fine after that. But maybe, I will not deny something that until now remains and I still feel. Disappointment.I know I have made a huge mistake, betraying Avalynn. But I never once thought that she would actually choose to marry Adler and even now ended up with him. Right now, the most dominant thing about it is that it's all over now. The guilt and my feelings towards her no longer exist. It's all gone. But why do I feel like something inside me is firing up? Like what Theodore said just added fuel to my chest?"Okay, so you felt that your mate bond disconnected and then you went to ask Theodore and he told you that it ended because Avalynn chose to marry Adler, is that it?" This woman who dared to talk to me that
Conrad's POV (This is Conrad's POV afte Avalynn and Adler was saved.)The guilt is eating me up. Since that incident happened and separated me from Avalynn, I always catch myself not being myself. It feels like my mind is flying while my entire body feels like it is buried in the sand. After that day, I decided to stay in the lycan's territory as Avalynn was also rescued by Jade and her circle. Adler was also saved by them.Of course, they would save him. He's the future Alpha after all. They will be all dead meat if they fail to rescue him there. Every second, every minute, and every day, all I was thinking was Avalynn.Is she fine now? What does she feel about me after that day? Is she angry?Those are the questions that keep running in my head rent-free. I may look like a fool when I already know the answers from those. Of course, Avalynn is probably not fine yet. She definitely hates him—despising him each day. Is she angry? Maybe more than angry that she's been wanting to hurt me
