I froze. For seconds, I was not able to react. I didn’t see it coming. His words and expression the last time we talked were still instilled in me that I didn’t think he would greet me with a hug, and with those words. I turned to my human form without me realizing it. Conrad must have felt it. He broke out, removed his shirt, then put it on me. His eyes were serious as he did it. I was speechless myself. But after me made me wore it, he pulled me again into a hug. Conrad embraced me with his emotions pouring. His warmth covering me. His scent mixing in mine. For almost a week we were separated in each other, I couldn’t help but hug him back like he was an instict. No. I responded even before I fully realized what he said. I missed him that much. “Conrad,” I called his name with disbelief. “I don’t have a choice.” “Come with me.” “Then, I’d be a rogue wolf, I can’t do that.” My fingers scraped his shirt. “I love you, but I still cannot leave the pack. Not at the moment.” I just
Both Conrad and I turned to the same direction when I heard Alice’s voice, almost as if he felt them, too. We were both quick to react. Conrad turned to me, and then ran, with his other hand holding me. We tried to made distance. My hair danced as I made big steps with fast pace. Some strands even lose path and blocked my view. But I couldn’t careless. I could feel them after me. After us, and if we won’t run fast enough to be able to escape them, we’ll both be doomed. Conrad probably knew it because his pace fasten every fraction of second. He was faster than me, so his hand on mine wasn’t helping. I couldn’t caught on to him, and knowing he could go faster, I was aware that I’d only slow him down. I tried to pull my hand away to let go. I thought about letting him go first, and then give him direction consequently. That way, I might get caught, but he would be able to escape. Positively, that would be the best outcome we could come up with. Better than having both of us caught. Bet
Of course. What I said was part of the script to convince the Alpha. I had to make it sound as if I was innocent, and that I was concern about the state Adler would be in if I get unwell. The Alpha then left to summon his personal doctor. Jade, who had played her role right, gave me a look of relief, like she was glad everything had come to an end. I knew lying to the Alpha wasn’t easy for her. So I owe her one for helping me still. Jade left without a word, leaving both me and Adler in the bedroom. I finally had the freedom to act myself. I sat down, wiped the lipstick off me. I licked it, and winced when I tasted the chemicals. “You weren’t sick,” Adler said as he looked at me. “You made Jade lie to cover up for yourself…” “I thought you knew.” I removed the blanket off my legs. “But that doesn’t matter now. Do you know the Alpha’s personal doctor?” His brows met. Confusion crossed his eyes as he followed me sternly. Adler was calm, but not collected. He probably wanted to ask a
And so, I was excused for the next events and schedule meant to publicize, and prepare our marriage. I was told to rest, and get well. The Doctor, Edmond even prescribed me medicine, which were real ones to further convince the Alpha. For almost a week, I was in the Alpha’s mansion. Jade visit me once in every two days. She was helping me with my act, entertaining me, accompanying me while everyone else was busy. Along the way, I also started to plan how I’d talk to Gunner to persuade him share everything to me. About my mother, about Theodore. I wanted to know everything. As fast as possible. So then, I could leave earlier and be with Conrad. I wanted to sort things out. I at least wanted to know myself before I could free myself. Because I would only feel free after I got to know every single detail of who I really was. Who my father was, and how his relationship was with my mother. “Avalynn, are you there?” I heard a knock from outside the wooden door that disrupted me from my t
While I was asleep in his house? When was that, over two weeks ago? Was he already thinking about buying me this ring then? That long? My lips formed a thin line. I lowered down my gaze, avoiding his eyes. The pleased feeling was then overhwelmed by something else. What was this, I feel swayed.No.Perhaps even more greater. I breathed hard, and then I stood up. “Well… I haven’t thought of a gift, but I would surely think of one to give you before our marriage…” Feeling happy over this, and not giving him something in return afterwards would not sit right to the other wolves in this pack. If we truly wanted to convince them, then our love for each other, fakedly, should not be one sided. I should also shower him with what I could afford. But what, when the only thing I could give right now was not material thing but love, trust and loyalty? I mean, of course, I meant that fakedly. Because those were something I could only wholeheartedly present to Conrad. But if we were to talk in an
We had our last dinner at the Alpha’s house before Adler sent me back to mine. He assured me I wouldn’t need to stay at his house since the Alpha would be busy this week since he was leaving the post. It was a good news, cause then I would have the time to meet Conrad before I completely get tied to Adler. “I’m going to meet him.” I told Jade, as soon as I finished putting my clothes back to my closet. “I promised him I would.” “Conrad?” She asked, and then raise a brow. She knew. I told her before I asked her to help me with my excuse. All of it. My reckless decision to come after him and help him escape, what we talked about, how he told me he accepted it. I didn’t leave a single tiny detail. I figured she should know the truth, so the next time I disappear and I’d be out of reach, she’d knew where I was and why I was out in the wild again. “Yeah…” I sat comfortably in the bed, and then turned to her. “I’ll leave tonight.” “You sure you could pull it all alone?” She put down th
If there was anyone who would have the authority to make these betas move out of their post, it would be no other than Adler, their future Alpha. Having that into consideration, I called Adler. I told him the situation as soon as he picked it up, and he cooperated without complain, which I did not expect because when it came down to meeting Conrad, he would always say something negative. But of course, that became the least of my concern. I asked Adler to call the betas and make them leave. I didn’t care what story he put up, or what method he’d came up with. I only wanted to make sure they would leave, and I wouldn’t be seen or caught. That was exactly what happened. Adler pulled a stunt, and the betas ran without a second thought, probably eager to make an impression to Adler. I took that opportunity to leave. I escaped. I crossed the border, once again, but with the help of Gunner, Jade, and Adler this time. Though I’ll also come back tomorrow, and that would mean I would need to
Lycans were dangerous. That fact was instilled in me the moment I learned what we truly were. I was probably five when I did. My initial reaction to that idea was fear, and anger. For someone who belonged to a group that hated Lycans, it wouldn’t be so suprising for a kid like me to feel the same. Afterall, when one was naive and dependent to the group of individuals’ ideals, one started adapting what the others think and believe in. I did believe they were bad and heartless until I met Conrad. Though, I cannot generalize. I could trust Conrad. Him, and his genuine love and care for me. Certainly, even if I were to come with him in their land, I would be safe. No one could tell me otherwise after he crossed the border just to see me. “Why?” he asked, and then moved to face me more freely. “Would you have the time to do so?” “Not now…” I looked away to get a piece of burger. “But I could make time next week. How long would it take if we go there using a transportation?” I wasn’t g
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
