Myron stood at the base of the stairs patiently as he waited to escort Anna to the ball, compared to a few hours ago when the king had arrived, he was now in a tuxedo, and his hair was slicked backward giving one a full view of his enchanting face.He felt kind of nervous, they were going to appear today in front of the representative of the whole realms as mates, after this night, there was truly no going back. He has to accept her as mate and Luna along with the thousands of envoys in the realm. After all, the king was here to endorse her and give her his support as her father. Even though he and her had done a good job in the past few days posing as one loving couple, this night was everything. They had to ensure the envoys believed he was in love with her as she was with him so that their pack standing would be good, but was this the only reason he was eager to do this? Hell no, he was seizing the opportunity to claim his right over her and call her his. Myron wasn’t a fool, eve
Myron and Anna walked into the hall where the party was now in full swing under the probing gaze of the crowd and just like all the other guests, their first move was to approach the king to say their greetings. Myron, however, was surprised by what he saw, Anna wasn’t bluffing when she said she could decorate. Brightly colored drapes lined up the walls of the hall and ran across the edges of the four large chandeliers in the hall, whose light had been changed from warm yellow light to shrilling white lights, the white light from the chandeliers illuminated the hall making it look flashy. On the right side of the hall was a large table filled with drinks, food, snacks, and all sorts of assortments, while a line of servers stood next to the wine bar, filled the empty wine glasses, and served the thirsty guests. On the top right corner in front, a band was present and they were busy playing a piece of slow music, which was enticing and calming, while on the platform where Myron alway
“Ladies and gentlemen,” King Herman called the attention of everyone a few seconds after the music stopped and they all looked at him with rapt attention. “On behalf of my family and the entire kingdom which you all have come to represent, I would like to say thank you to everyone present at this royal ball. I know the news of the change of venue came as a shock to many and many feared for their safety due to the various rogues incident that has been plaguing our realm but still, you all honored my invitation, I am grateful for your support.” He slightly raised the wine glass in his hand to all the guests as he greeted them. “I organized this ball mainly to make a very important announcement. As most of you know, I have a daughter, one that I cherish and adore so much and have kept hidden from the realm and its people for her safety. Anna?” He looked in her direction.“Please come up here, darling.” The king called and everyone followed his gaze, staring at Anna and making way for h
Anna finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw the guard place Myron in his bed. After he fainted on her, she pushed him off her after mustering all her strength, but that was not where her misery ended. There was no guard on site so she had to practically drag him to the door of the mansion, bearing his weight all on her own until she finally found this guard who came to her aid.“Can you ask the cooks to prepare him something for the hangover?” She instructed the guard as she arranged the duvet that she had earlier used to cover him. She looked up when she noticed she didn’t get a response and the man didn’t leave only to see that the guard was giving her a weird look, she was confused.“Is there a problem?”“The Alpha does not need a hangover soup or anything, he would be fine after a few minutes of rest.” He informed her even though he was still confused as to why the princess, now turned heir, was so ignorant.“What do you mean? We might heal fast but alcohol is different,
“Did you really find your mate?” Archie asked Anna as he saw her out of the room, She stopped in her tracks and gave him a forced smile. In fact, she wasn’t really sure where she was with Collins, she knew she had no feelings for him, but he was also deliberately pushing her toward Myron instead of making an effort with them and Myron confessed to her... she was so confused about the whole thing right now.“Who is he?” Archie asked her and Anna looked at him. That question was the one thing she had wanted someone to ask her but now that Archie asked, she was reluctant to say it and she didn’t know why. Could it be that she was ashamed of Collins? True he was not as perfect as Myron but then he was not that bad, it’s just his indifference, “Why don’t we talk about him later? I need to go check up on Myron, he was pretty drunk earlier too.” She excused herself and hurried away after throwing him a fake smile.Archie stood in place and stared at her with a worried expression, all he co
A thousand miles from the Blood Moon pack, an off-road jeep drove at full speed past the ‘70m/hr.’ sign, the driver ignoring it despite traveling through the narrow road with lots of bends. Avi looked out the window of the passenger’s seat in which she sat staring at the pitch black greenery that surrounded the road, her mother behind the wheels. She had never come this far before in her life, she didn’t even know which territory this was or if the realm extended as far as here. She and her mother had been on a road ever since they left the pack three weeks ago in search of the witch, Sierra, which she wasn’t even sure they would find. Her mother had gotten a lot of clues from her acquaintance but even until now, there was no hope of finding the witch and all they had achieved on this journey was to go further and further away from the pack.Avi had a frown on her face. Right from the beginning, she had not been in support of this journey, she saw absolutely no reason for it, these
It was like walking down memory lane again, how could Avi forget that night? The night that changed everything in her life. Even if she didn’t remember it for how memorable it was, she would always remember it for how scared she had been. She had never been that scared in her life. The trees in this forest were similar to those except they didn't have the nightmarish appearance she had seen that night. She thought as she looked around the thick forest in which they walked. When they had seen the light from the building that didn’t seem to be far away, her mother had ushered her back into the car and they soon found a route that led there, except the place was not as close as they thought. Soon they packed their car and continued the journey there on foot. Her mother didn’t seem bothered at how significantly stressful all these were, come to think of it, she didn’t even seem bothered that night thirteen years ago when they went in search of Sierra either. Perhaps she had always been h
“What?!” Avi exclaimed. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, this would witch want her soul? Was she kidding her right now? She looked at her mother, was she hearing this? Wasn't she going to say anything?Nicole looked at Avi and frowned, even she didn't expect the witch to ask for something as serious as a soul. She felt the witch was just making things hard for them on purpose, maybe she didn't want to help them but even if she didn't want to help, she couldn't let go. She had to convince the witch to help. She couldn't let go of this desire.Never!“But… if she gives you her soul, how could she possibly be mated to the Alpha? She would die.” Nicole antagonized and Avi breathed a sigh of relief.She knew that her mother didn’t do it because she loved her but because she was the only candidate she had for the Luna’s position but still, at least she had enough sense to know that she couldn’t be a Luna if she was dead!“Oh, she won’t die.” Sierra gave Avi a taunting smile as if
The thunder rumbled as heavy rain poured upon the Blood Moon pack but the heavy rain did not affect the underground pack prison located on the far west border of the pack. The corridor was silent and empty as a warrior walked briskly towards a cell at the far end of the corridor. He knelt calmly when he arrived. It’s been three weeks since Myron left the pack with his mate and Collins left in search of his. Alpha Joel was busy and seemed to have no plan to settle the matter of the woman in this cell. With the look of this, it seems the plan was for her to rot in jail. “Delta Nicole! Delta Nicole!” He whisper-yelled and the woman with messy hair, a dirty face, and tattered clothes woke up from her slumber. She looked at the unfamiliar guard and wondered if the Alpha had finally decided to kill her, but his next words shocked her. “Miss Avi asked me to escort you out.” Her eyes widened, Avi? Avi came for her? She is still alive? What took her so long? “Hurry.” The guard whispered
Nicole smiled with contentment. How dare Myron think he can walk out of this easily? “Enough!” Myron roared and everyone shook with fear. “I am stepping down because I am ashamed to be an Alpha of a group of people who are more loyal to the traitors than their Alpha!” The pack members shared a confused look, not understanding what he meant but still feeling guilty at the same time. Myron didn’t care about them at all but turned to beta Dustin. “I only have some advice for you elder Dustin, I think my cousin Collins is the best for the Alpha’s seat but if Nicole doesn't agree to it, she might as well do what she pleases with the pack.” He said and everyone bowed their head in shame including beta Dustin. In other words, he was saying he didn't care about them anymore. Everyone was controlled one way or the other by Nicole and they knew it in their hearts. "I have no desire to be Alpha either, " Collins who had been silent the entire time finally spoke up, he glanced at Dustin and
The pack, however, didn’t plan to allow Myron or Collins to fight for Anna either. Bright and early the next morning, every member of the pack had gathered under the instigation of the elders, and the pack hall was filled up. Anna looked at Myron worriedly as they dressed up. She didn’t know why they had gathered but she was scared, she didn’t want to leave him and she didn’t want him to abandon his pack for her either but she knew she could not convince him on this matter.“Don’t worry. It would all be fine.” Myron said as he walked to her and rested his arms on her shoulders. She looked up at him.“Myron, I’m scared,” Anna told him and he smiled sadly.“I know, but I am here with you. I would never leave you.” He assured her, took her hand, and led her out of the house. But she was not scared for herself, she was scared that after today, he would no longer be an Alpha anymore. He would lose everything he worked so hard to create. Her grip in his tightened.“Myron?” she called.“Hmm
Myron’s ride only arrived at the pack later that night, Anna was fast asleep against his shoulders again, except this time it was due to the emotional drain from the battle that they had experienced on the way back. The moment they crossed the border, the news that the Alpha was back spread around the pack rapidly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief even though they were not so happy, especially when they knew he came back with Anna. The lingering scent of blood was still in the air around the pack from the fight the previous night. There were not many casualties but a part of the hospital was damaged. It was a good trick, if they had panicked last night it would have been terrible. It was a good thing that they were up to the task, if not only the goddess knew what would have happened if they weren’t strong enough and the Alpha wasn’t in the pack when it was under attack.It was all because of that princess. How can a woman like her who is the heir to the werewolf throne cause mo
Not far from the warehouse, the car conveying Myron and Anna's car was approaching, they had left the highway about an hour ago and turned the shortcut road to their pack, hoping to get there by nightfall. Anna was resting her head against Myron’s shoulders, fast asleep while Myron had a protective hand around her shoulder. “Alpha, there is a roadblock ahead.” The driver quickly informed Myron before he came to a stop in front of the fallen tree. Myron frowned and looked at the fallen tree in front of them. He felt it was odd for this road to have a fallen tree, but looking at the root of the tree, it seemed obvious that it had just fallen, probably due to weak roots, he thought.“Let’s get it out of the way.” He informed the driver before waking up the sleeping Anna who sat up and made an attempt to follow. “No, stay in the car.” Anna nodded before resting her head against the window on her side of the car. The two men walked to the tree and attempted to lift it off the road togeth
Anna woke up with the tickling of her nose, she wrinkled it and rubbed it with the back of her hand twice, attempting to adjust her sleeping position to a more comfortable one in the process when she found that her body was not just sore all over, she was also held in place by a heavy force. She opened her eyes groggily and stared at the enlarged and smiling face in front of her in a daze. Before her mind cleared, Myron kissed her cheek cheerfully, “Morning.”She smiled, “Good morning,” She stretched her arms lazily like a kitten and Myron chuckled as he stared at her. It was the first time they had shared a bed so harmoniously. When they shared a bed in the days before the ball, Myron always snuck into the bed in the middle of the night and snuck out before she woke up, missing the opportunity to see this cute side of hers. Seeing her like this now made him happy and content, he indulged the urge to perk her lips which left her looking more dazed. He roared in laughter at the sight
Collins stood in front of the glass plane of Myron’s dark office and stared at the sleeping town. It was past midnight and the office was dead silent except for the ticking of the clock on the far end of the wall. Collins had been busy putting things in the pack in order since Myron left in search of Anna. He didn’t need further instructions, from the moment Myron issued the order he had been expecting for a long time, he knew that Avi and her mother had finally touched Myron’s inverse scale. Conspiring to get Anna kidnapped was not something that was past them, both he and Myron knew this. Myron’s order to arrest everyone who had a hand in Anna’s disappearance was just a coded word for saying ‘take them down’.Since then, he had been super busy, getting all their minions that he and Myron had been silently watching for the past five years and forcing them into confessing their evil deeds, even the elders who stubbornly supported Nicole were nabbed. It was just a pity that he could n
The moment Myron’s teeth touched her blood and she was marked by him, it felt as if his heart and soul were loosened from a shackle, the scent of her filled the air, his nose and lungs and he took it in with pleasure. Even touching her sent electricity down his nerves, it felt as if he was alive, and his excited wolf came to the surface forcefully.He pulled away from her in shock at the way he felt, but when he looked at her, he saw, it was not just him, she felt the same way he did. They stared at each other, confused at first, but it didn’t take long for the realization to dawn on them.“Mate!” They both echoed in surprise.“But how?” Anna was even more confused. She had always been certain that Avi was Myron’s mate, so what was this? How can they suddenly be mates?Myron didn’t have the answer to her question, even though he didn't understand what was going on, he knew it was different. Different from how he felt around Avi or any other woman. He had always been drawn to this woma
Myron stopped in his tracks, looked up at the blue sky over him, then bent his head and sniffed the floor continuously for the scent of the men he sought. It had been three days since he left the pack and had gone in search of Anna alone in his wolf form.He had neither rested nor slept and had constantly been on the run, had been hungry, and had been ambushed by rogues but he didn’t give up. He couldn’t give up until he found Anna and brought her back home safe and sound; and he could say he had been making progress, so far he found the hidden place where these men had stayed outside the pack before they moved and he had followed them closely with the residual scent they left behind, which had been the major cause for his delay apart from the various ambush. Following the scent of a bunch of wolves that had passed by a place days ago was not an easy fit for him, but he still achieved it thanks to his Alpha blood. If only he knew Anna’s scent by heart, if only her scent wasn’t myster
