KANE'S POV I keep getting an invitation from this person I know nothing about. I have no idea what he or she has to do with my family. All I see is that the letter keeps saying I need help, what help exactly? I don't need anyone's help. I decided to accept the invitation and go check what is so important today. I left home to meet at the menu where the letter says. I stopped in front of an old café with less customers. It's not like I am afraid of anyone but why would they chose such a secluded place? I sat down waiting for the person, then I began to feel like an idiot. What exactly am I doing? I have enough to think about considering what I am going through at home all because of that my useless sister. I don't know why my father won't just send her away. I always feel like she is not part of the family. No disrespect to my dead mom but what if she cheated on dad and got pregnant from that? That should be the only way she would give birth to such a disgrace as a child. Emill
BRYAN'S POV It's morning already but none of us has left the bed. No one dares to disturb us either. I woke up first, I didn't leave but stare at her while she still sleeps. I can't believe she did what she has been avoiding for a long time with me. Yet she agreed to do it because of a pain she has been holding for a long time. If Aiden is her mate, she is supposed to mate with him long ago. Because they usually can't hold the pain when the meet their mates, it becomes worse than before and it's unavoidable. She could not hold it with me but she said she has been okay even with Aiden. Some people don't even like the pain at all, they just go out and attract other male werewolves to mate with even if they haven't found their mate. She could have done it with Aiden, she kept avoiding it instead. This leads me to thinking there is more to this that meets the eye. It is not adding up so I have to find out what it is. I began hearing noise outside. I looked for something to wear and de
EMILLE'S POV I thought he has no family. Turns out he has an uncle after all. I don't think the uncle has been around for a long time. Why do I get negative energy around this uncle of his? He has a lot of explanation to give me. Why hasn't he told me about his uncle until now? That jerk seriously is so annoying. I can't believe he came back to... To do that again with me. I can't stop blushing everytime I think about what happened last night. I never knew I would let my guard down so easily to the extent of letting him control my body. But it's possibly the best experience I have had in a long time. Goodness I really like it. I have never felt this kind of immense pain for me to give in, he's really something. Does this mean his mate bond is stronger than that of Aiden?I dressed up still struggling to not walk strangely. I found my way to his room but he wasn't there. I went downstairs and looked for him at his study, I barged in again and he seemed to be having a meeting with
EMILLE'S POV I continued to choke, even though I was weak and dying, I still did not want to give up. I looked at him, he doesn't seem to be in his right mind. I tried to hold him, then I thought of something. Didn't my blood heal those who went wild the other time?"Bryan..." I called his name weakly for the first time. I've never felt so weak and helpless before. His eyes suddenly turned, his claws had dug into my skin and I was bleeding. I coughed hard catching my breath. It's not that easy for a werewolf to be strangled to death. But I fell on the ground sitting, I could not stand up. He had changed back to his original form. "Emille?" He called, his eyes widening in shock, he rushed to me and held me in his arms. "What happened to you?! What..." He stopped when he looked around his office. I tried to say something with the little strength I have left. "You... You...." I didn't finish as darkness engulfed me. I don't know how long but I opened my eyes and found myself in
BRYAN'S POV ~ SEEING HER EX? ~ Why won't she just forget about it? Can I tell her the truth now after I've tried so hard to hide it from her? I shut my eyes in frustration not knowing what else to do. Everytime I think about it, it makes me more and more mad. I looked at her, she gave me adorable eyes. I just can't resist them anymore. So I decided to spill, but I will skip the main part. "What you saw back there... That was me getting wild, it happens either in human or wolf form. I just can't control myself and I set out to kill anyone I see. I am usually chained down so I don't destroy anything. Sometimes, I break the chain. Then they have to stressfully pull me back." I explained. "Before you go further, you mean you've been living with this even when I met you?" I nodded, "Yes, I become stronger that even the strongest wolves can't do anything to me. I have a power like this, if only I could use it to my advantage. I'm cursed and..." I stopped, I shouldn't tell her this. "S
~ JEALOUSY ~EMILLE'S POVHe sounded so jealous right now. I don't know if I should tease him or just leave like that. But there's no fun in leaving like that without teasing me at least once. "I've always dressed like this. Don't tell me you're just seeing it now." I replied him with confidence. He scoffed, "you've always dressed like this when you were with him. But now you're with me and you can't leave home like that. Are trying to get all the men to look at you?"I almost laughed, "What? What man would want to look at me? Have you forgotten my reputation? There's no man willing to compromise and risk their reputations for me."I was just trying to tease him but he seemed to be getting more angry. I mean, why is he getting angry at me? It's not like I can control the eyes of people. Besides, this is how I love to dress. I'm not going to seduce my ex-boyfriend is that's what he's thinking. "I don't exactly get anything about your reputation right now. The most important thing is
~ BREAKING THE BOND ~EMILLE'S POVI stood up, getting away from Aiden. I walked up to Bryan, glaring at him as I stopped in front of him. To think he actually followed me here because he couldn't stop his jealousy was amazing to me. I thought this was only because of the agreement to him. Does this still count as part of the agreement?"What are you doing here? I thought I told you I would be back immediately," I asked him, ready to tear him apart with my burning gaze.He ignored me and faced Aiden, "I'm not about to let my fiancée get disturbed by another man. Of course, I had to step in."Aiden seemed offended by what he said, "I think you're getting the wrong idea here. She's only with you to have revenge on me. It doesn't count as anything. She loves me."Bryan turned to me, "Do you?""Wait, what?" I looked at Aiden. "Will you quit being an idiot? Why would I still love you after what you did to me?"Bryan pulled me by my waist, making sure I was close to him and showing his domi
~ FALLEN INTO A TRAP ~BRYAN'S POVI know I shouldn't have appeared when she went to see her ex-boyfriend, but I couldn't help myself. I kept thinking of all the things that might happen if I wasn't there. I know she was a bit disappointed that I kept showing up, but I can't help it at all.She's mine, and she's supposed to remember that. I don't like seeing her with other men. My jealousy has risen so much that I can't deny what I feel for her anymore. However, I should also remember that she might hate me if she found out why I approached her in the first place.How am I supposed to tell her that I was going to use her for my own benefit? At least she told me everything she wanted to do. I wish I had told her from the start and been truthful. Thinking about it again, she might not have accepted me, knowing the kind of person she is.Billy, my beta, walked into my study with Chase. They both looked concerned, and I wondered why. I wanted to ask them first, but I suddenly remembered t
RAFAEL'S POV I wasn’t going to let her go.Not yet.She was still looking at me like I was some joke, like she wasn’t in any real danger. That stubborn fire in her eyes refused to dim, and it irritated me more than I wanted to admit.I had given her a choice—keep my secret, and I’d keep hers. Simple. But simple wasn’t enough for her, was it?She shifted slightly, her gaze flickering toward the door like she was already planning an escape.I sighed. “You’re still thinking about running, aren’t you?”Nora snorted. “Wouldn’t you?”I smirked. “Oh, I would. If I thought I had a chance.”Her jaw tightened at that, but she said nothing.I took a step closer, lowering my voice just enough to make her listen. “See, that’s the problem, little wolf. I don’t trust you.”Her brows furrowed. “Good. I don’t trust you either.”I chuckled. “Of course you don’t. But unlike you, I have something to lose.”Her eyes narrowed. “And I don’t?”I tilted my head, watching her carefully. “Do you?”For a brief
Rafael’s POVI hadn’t planned to say it.The words just slipped out.“I want you.”It wasn’t supposed to leave my mouth, but the moment I saw her face—those sharp eyes, that stubborn chin, those damn lips that had the audacity to smirk at me—I lost control for a second. A single second, but it was enough.Her expression shifted, her brows shooting up in surprise before she let out a small, incredulous laugh. “What?”I clenched my jaw, irritation bubbling inside me. I wasn’t supposed to react like this. I wasn’t supposed to be stunned by her. I was the Lycan Prince. People feared me. Respected me. And yet, she was looking at me like I was some confused boy tripping over his own words.Annoying.I took a step closer, watching as her smirk grew wider instead of shrinking in fear. Most people would have cowered by now. Most people would have dropped their heads and trembled under my presence. But her?She tilted her chin up, daring me.I should have ignored it. I should have let it go. Bu
NORA'S POVI should have listened.That was the thought running through my head as I sat on the cold floor of Rafael’s closet, staring up at him. His smirk made my skin crawl, his eyes dark with amusement—and something else.Anger.But before I could fully grasp how much trouble I was in, my mind took me back to earlier today.FLASHBACK "Anora, get back here!"Whenever my mom used my full name, I knew I was doomed.I stood in the middle of the living room, my arms crossed, trying not to look like I cared. My mother, Luna Emille, paced back and forth, her heels clicking against the marble floor.My father, Alpha Bryan, sat on the couch with his arms folded, watching me with that silent, disapproving stare that somehow made me feel worse than my mother’s yelling."I told you," my mother seethed. "I warned you to stay away from Rafael!""Mom, I didn’t—""Don’t lie to me!" She snapped, turning sharply to face me. Her dark eyes burned with frustration. "Not only did you disobey us, but yo
NORA'S POVI messed up.I really, really messed up.The moment the words slipped out of my mouth, I knew I had just dug my own grave."No, I don't! How am I supposed to know someone kissed you and ran away?"I wanted to slap myself right there and then. What kind of idiot blurts that out? Rafael had just been questioning me, and I should have acted confused, uninterested, maybe even disgusted. Instead, I basically confirmed his suspicions.I could see it in his eyes—sharp, calculating. The moment I spoke, he knew. He didn't have proof yet, but I had just given him something to hold on to."I don't think I've ever told anyone that the girl I'm looking for kissed me and ran away. How do you know that?" He questioned me. I shook my head, "I think you heard wrong your highness. How am I supposed to know if someone kissed you? I just suggested it!""You seem awfully defensive, princess," he said, stepping closer. "Why do I get the feeling that you know exactly what I'm talking about?"I s
RAFAEL’S POVShe didn’t answer immediately. For a moment, she just stared at me as if she had seen a ghost. But then, just as quickly, she scowled. "Move," she muttered, trying to step past me.I blocked her path."You bumped into me and didn’t even bother to apologize," I said lazily, tilting my head as I observed her.She rolled her eyes. "I don’t apologize to people who stand in my way."Feisty.I liked that."Do you know who I am?" I questioned her. She scoffed, "Am I supposed to know?"I don't need anyone to tell me from her reaction that she knows who I am but she's just pretending not to. Is she doing this to get me mad or what? Most of the girls have seen are always mesmerized by my beauty and everything else, but this one is just different from everyone. She won't even give me an opportunity to talk to her, she's exactly like her mother. Even though I don't have to ability to use my werewolf senses, I know she smells really nice. I was about to say something else when I no
RAFAEL'S POVWhere the hell is she?My fists clenched as I stormed through the streets, my mind burning with anger. That damn girl. That infuriating, rebellious girl. I had never met anyone like her in my entire life.She didn’t just humiliate me—she had the audacity to kiss me. Multiple times. Without my consent.I still felt the ghost of her lips on mine, not in a way that made me feel anything good, but in a way that made me want to strangle something.Me. The Lycan Prince. The one everyone feared. And she? A nobody.Yet she had dared to toy with me, slipping through my fingers like smoke every time I tried to catch her. When I finally got close enough, my claws ripped through her clothes by accident, and that’s when I saw it—her white wolf tattoo on her thigh.A symbol of purity and power.But before I could even process it, she had hit me so hard that I nearly lost balance. And then, just like that, she was gone.No one had ever dared to strike me before. No one had ever looked m
Nora's POV"Get her! Don't let her get away!"I kept laughing as I ran around with them trying to catch me, but I knew it was going to be impossible because I brought them to a place where I knew all the exits and shortcuts. It was going to be hard for them to catch me. I'm not someone that can easily be caught just because they want to.I kept turning them around and making them move in circles for more than an hour before I finally decided to leave the place. I was tired of running around. It was like an exercise for me, and I was used to being chased after doing something that I'm not supposed to do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop anyway.Those bastards were the ones who tried to bully me in the first place, and I only did what I had to do to defend myself. Everyone thinks what I do is extreme, but they are the ones who start everything. I don't just go around looking for trouble—unless they start it. And when they do, I don't take it easy at all. I go all in and do whatev
BRYAN'S POV"Did you just say the notorious Lycan prince is in our territory?" I asked again to be sure I heard correctly."And he's looking for my daughter?" Emille added.Winner nodded. "It's true. Though people don't know he's looking for your daughter, from the description, I already know it was Nora who offended him in the first place."The Lycan family is the only one around, and they are very powerful rulers who have a lot of packs under them and a large territory. They are slightly bigger than ours. They have a lot of warriors and also very powerful weapons that could make them win any war.If I were to say the truth, they have grown over the last few years, and they are well-respected by everyone, including us. No one tries to look for their trouble in order not to provoke them. I've also had a good relationship and cooperation with them, as we are the second-biggest pack.We give them the leadership of the entire werewolf community as the largest pack. Important decisions co
EMILLE'S POV ~ YEARS LATER ~"Where the hell is Nora hiding? That disobedient and rebellious child! I'm going to deal with her today!" I shouted around, looking for my last child, who is also my only daughter.I'm holding a large whip that I'm going to use to teach her a lesson today. This is my first time doing this. The house has always been pampering her, and now she doesn't know her place. I'm going to make sure she doesn't cause trouble for anyone anymore!I don't know why she's so rebellious and troublesome. She doesn't listen to me. She already has more than enough situations to put her in a gentle place, but she is always so troublesome. I know I always encourage her to stand up for herself, but this is way too much."Mom, you can't find her anywhere. She's not at home right now. She's probably out again causing trouble," my eldest son, Nathan, said, coming with his brother, Jaden, who is my second child."That's because everyone pampers her, and she has become a spoiled brat
