"I'm sorry it took me this long to give you my report, Alpha, but there were a few personal concerns that caused my delay.""Sounds serious, Gamma. Wanna talk about it?""Not at the moment, but I believe you'll get to know soon enough. For now, let's focus on that man, Jonah.""Let me guess, he got arrested for domestic violence, but the charges were dropped?""How did you know that?""He hit her again, and it was because she was with me. I got the full story of their marriage from her after that unfortunate incident."A female voice quipped in, "Alpha, she also said that he forced her to tell him your number by threatening more bodily harm. I have the full report here in this folder.""Thank you, Alexia. You were definitely the right choice for the job.""My pleasure. By the way, V, this sudden 'remodeling' of your office suite…""Don't even ask, Doc. I'll talk about it during my next consultations. M, Antoine will be here in a minute with possible evidence of the burglary, but it ma
Vince woke up very early to get to his office before most of his people arrived. His day was now fully planned, with a few bonus surprises coming in. Not for him, though. Christmas was just a few days away, and he needed to make sure that his mate and the babies were comfortable, safe, and happy.The final touches to his newly renovated office were finally finished. But that was not why he was staying outside.V was waiting eagerly and impatiently for his mate to arrive.Of course, he was trying to hide the fact by talking to Myron as if they had many pending matters for the day. In truth, he was getting a play-by-play commentary from his Executive Assistant about what he was currently watching on his security monitor grids.“Sir, she’s just coming out of the elevator. Oh, she stopped. A sigh, and then kept walking.”“How angry does she look?”“She looks tired, hair on her face like yesterday but no bun. Not really angry, looks more like… defeated.”“Not so good. Now tell me something
"She's fine, Alpha, just very tired. I don't recommend that you wake her up. She looks comfortable enough, and I'm sure there's no place safer than your office. If you don't mind her here, I'd say you let her sleep for a few hours. As soon as she wakes up, send her to the medical wing, or better yet, call me so I can come over with one of the medics. Depending on the findings, I will let you know if you can continue with your plan or not.""Thank you, Alex. Sorry for the rush. This was definitely unexpected.""Don't be sorry. It's always my pleasure to help, especially since we're talking about our future Luna. For now, she's suffering from a very high level of stress. Don't push her too much, and take good care of her, please.""I promise. Thank you again."As soon as Myron and Alexia left his office suite, V took his branded long coat from the classy coat rack in the corner and covered her with it. He smiled at how big his coat looked over her and hoped it would keep her warm enough
V's face was beaming, and he didn't care to hide it anymore. "As you wish. Myron will get all the paperwork ready for you. Now please, walk around, see your house and plan out where you want to put your things. We can arrange the move, by the way. Or do you want to have this house furnished? It's part of the grant too.""No, I'm okay with what I have for now, V. Will make choices for additional furnishings after I've packed everything up from the old house, move, and settle in this place… Oh my gosh, so many things to do along with Christmas grocery shopping… and we still have work tomorrow!""Oh, didn't I tell you? You have actual days off now. Tomorrow you're not going to the office. Neither is Di, just so you both can fix everything here in your new houses. Myron will send both soft copies of the payment options to your email by tonight. And if you need any help with your Christmas shopping, I would like to offer my services, Ms. Camden."Siel felt the stab once again but still man
The next day was as busy as the day before. The kitchen installation and finishings were being completed, so V suggested that the children - along with their nanny, and eager assistant and driver, Antoine - stay over at "Auntie Di". And since Di's bungalow was now completely furnished and she had finished settling in, it was time to test how it would hold up to the "James and Rose" Seal of Approval.Once the twins were settled, V invited his mate to go to town and choose what other gadgets, decor, and items the new house may need. She had agreed, with the condition that all her purchases would still be included in the housing grant, and was now ushered into the passenger's seat by her very attentive and attractive boss/friend.Soon, they were already busily going from store to store in a more affluent shopping center. Everyone who noticed them could easily say that they were indeed a couple. They easily laughed and talked and were so comfortable in each other's company. There was no w
Merry Christmas, V, sighed Roth, trying so hard not to feel disappointed. Vince sighed along with his wolf and just stayed buried under his bed covers. There was no use in getting up if it was just gonna be another cold Christmas for him and his wolf. He tried not to think of what happened back there at his mate's house, but that was all that kept playing and replaying in his head.+++"OH MY GOD! NO, STAY AWAY! SHIT PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME!!! PLEEEEAAASSE!""Elena, it's still me, V. I would never think of hurting you… you're my mate… I told you before I transformed, right?"V's heart broke as he saw her cringing and shaking as she curled into a fetal position in one of the corners of her babies' room, where they chose to talk. It was truly, emotionally torturing to see the one and only love of his life run away from him in fear and terror.How other men would choose that reaction over caring and devotion is beyond me…+++Have we lost her V? Should we just give up now?"I hope not, Rot
MYRRH D. KEIZER“Create the worlds you wish existed. Welcome to Wonderland!”Originally a writer for textbooks, essays, and scripts for more than 30 years, Myrrh’s first published story was about her cat and it was featured in their school paper. She was six years old then and has never stopped creating tales that thrill, chill, and tantalize. She had worn many hats, such as being a mom of three, a teacher on various levels, a theater director, a trainer, and more. However, she will always choose writing as a passion and a career.She also suffered from a stroke about two years ago and is still presently unable to walk on her own.

Around ten years ago…A muscular and broad-shouldered suited man with midnight black, longish hair and honey-colored, almost golden eyes was walking down an airport lounge pulling a compact hard case carry-on. Beside him was a shorter redhead, about 5’4”, lightly tanned, her full breasts contrasting with her slim physique. She was trying to keep up with the grim-faced male by matching his stride and not exactly succeeding.The young girl was out of breath and was panting hard by the time they both finally reached the right ramp. No thanks to her big brother walking too briskly or the bulky backpack she insisted on carrying, despite his continuous offer to carry it for her, it will take her a bit of time to be able to breathe regularly.Diwa had always been such a stubborn and independent woman. And she wouldn’t have it any other way…Neither did her big brother Ma’Heron, but he never wanted to admit it to her face.They both paused and rested at the gate. It was staffed by a single fli
He heard his phone buzzing on the bedside table. Carefully, the Silvercrest Gamma reached out towards his vibrating mobile and checked the screen…Hmmm, should I answer or not, Lyon?Looks like someone is missing you like heck already, bro. Damn, it’s just been a day, M. Aha ha ha!Ma’Heron chuckled, the sound a low rumbling in his broad, firmly sculpted chest, as he answered the call, “Yes?”“Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentine’s Ma’Heron. Now, when do you plan to get your ass back here?”M could no longer hold back his laughter at the sound of his Alpha’s slightly tense voice. “I don’t know, V. It really all depends on someone who’s very important to me.”On cue, he felt the naked woman beside him suddenly hugging his nude body tighter. He couldn’t help but stare at the sparkling diamond and ruby ring on his beautiful mate’s finger. M’s small smile had become wider as the memory connected to that very gift began to replay in his mind…* * *“MA’HERON!”“ALEXIA!”At the back of his
Meanwhile, the Gamma and the visiting Alpha, as if in agreement, both started the challenge in their human forms…They began with the usual hand-to-hand combat, and even then, you could feel the viciousness and fury being exchanged by the two men. Both had obviously been well-trained, and their past experiences and present expertise could be seen in their every move and counter.“So, your mate, huh Ma’He? And her pack? Are you happy with what you took from me?” gritted the Alpha, now sporting a bruised and cut cheek.“I took nothing from you. All of it is mine - and hers - since we were born,” M said tonelessly, evading a kick to his face and landing two solid punches on Abner’s chestGasping from the hits, the Crescent Moon leader managed to find his footing, then jumped up into the air, aiming a kick at M’s head while screaming furiously, “She was going to be married TO ME!”M dodged the kick and yelled back, still in this strange monotone, “To someone who didn’t love her!”Wow, it’
Everything was ready now…From the Silvercrest spot on the battlefield, Ma’Heron saw her walking regally beside Abner, head held high, hands to her side, stride as sensuous as ever. Her long, thick, and tousled dark mane perfectly framed her oval-jawed and serious face, making his mate look like a strong, determined amazon who was surrounded by her several male underlings.The only evidence of her brokenness was her puffy eyes; and the darkened, swollen skin underneath them.He also knew that underneath her black dress suit, the same one she wore the day she disappeared from work, he would be seeing more swelling and darkened patches all over her body. His assessment was all based on Myron’s recent report to him and the aches and pains that she tried so hard to hide from him during their linked conversations.Plus, the fact that she was even blanking out the visuals of their link, and he’s left with just a white “screen” when they talked, as if she was editing out images he didn’t wan
“Oh, wait, there he is! You guys just go. I’ll follow you to the car in a minute,” V said to the others.“Are you coming, Luna?” Myron asked, smiling while tightening the straps of his laptop’s backpack.“No, I’ll wait for him here. I’ll just see you downstairs,” Siel offered, as she returned he fellow office worker’s returned his warm and friendly smile with a similar version of her own.From afar, the Luna could see, through the glass wall of the room’s balcony, how her mate approached M. Soon after, the clean-shaven Denar was now hugging the bearded Riegel.There’s just so much a person can take, Elena thought as she watched Vince holding his friend’s sobbing form because there was nothing else her mate could do at the moment. It’s amazing how a man that cold, collected, and calculated can be transformed by finding the one woman who’s meant for him. “Mates” is a term that’s definitely something far above the simple love that we humans are used to feeling. His surrender, his loyalty
The Elders glanced at each other with troubled looks, unable to do anything else at that moment. They all got up from their seats at the same time and prepared to leave. So did Abner, who approached the Silvercrest people with a smile on his face and a hand extended, except for the brooding Gamma whose brawny arms are tightly crossed as he stayed in his seat. However, V took his hand and looked him in the eye as he spoke for everyone in authority in the room, “We’ll see you at the challenge, Abner.”“I can barely wait, Alpha. Damien, Melo, Stephen, and Jenna, it was nice to see you again,” the sardonic visiting Alpha stated as he shook hands with the elders, while obviously ignoring Ma’Heron and dramatically opened the door then exited the room.“Please excuse me a moment,” M mumbled then left the crowd in a rush, trying hard not to show his eagerness at what he was about to do.After stepping out into the meeting room’s balcony, it took him only a few seconds to reach her…Alexia!
The whole room was waiting for a feminine voice to answer the call that Abner was making right then and there. At first, it was hardly believable that he would risk calling his hostage, but when the line didn’t answer they figured out that he had tricked them once again.Abner indeed used Alexia’s number, but it didn’t matter how many times he called her. He was sure there would be no answer since her phone was locked up in his suite’s secret safe.“You see? Too tired to answer,” the lying Alpha stated with finality, his cynical smile twisting his small audience’s stomachs.The elders knew, even before the start of the meeting that there was something very much off with his request. And despite them knowing, they didn’t have much proof to counter the untruthful Alpha’s allegations.Of course, the Silvercrest Gamma will still insist on his demands, and everyone expected that…“She is my mate and was marked by me. And I have her mark as well. If she can’t tell me that she is where she w
It was not old news for the Elders that Abner had continually been finding ways to force his canceled wedding over Alexia’s mate situation. Obviously, his intentions were rather shady in the past, as it was right now. After all, they were present during the dramatically canceled engagement/wedding party of Abner and Alexia three years ago so they were quite aware of this problematic issue.However, what the Elders have personally seen then was true proof that Ma’Heron and Alexia were indeed mates.“Might we ask, why is the Gamma’s mate currently on Crescent Moon premises?” Elder Jenna asked, intently looking at Abner.“Well, it’s very simple. One day, she had just finished her shift here in the same building and was walking to her apartment when we met. She was so pleased to see me that she decided to come with me to my packhouse. Since then, she didn’t want to leave me anymore,” Abner explained as he grinned widely, a perfect copy of the Grinch’s similarly looking grimace.“Is there
On the 165th floor of the Silvercrest Enterprises Tower, from which the whole city could be seen, Siel was still listening to the end of Vince’s story. The last rays of the sun came through the glass wall and painted the other white walls on the sides of the chamber a yellow/crimson hue when Ma’Heron arrived. And with him, was the younger and slimmer Myron.“Hello, Myron! M, it’s nice to see you both again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though.”The Gamma nodded silently and respectfully at the Luna.“Hello, Siel! Wow, your first meeting as part of the pack! Are you nervous?” Myron said cheerily, which is his usual out-of-work personality which he hardly displays within their workplace.“I am, just a little bit… No, I’m actually… very… nervous,” honestly confessed V’s Luna.“Don’t worry, you’ll do great, I’m sure of it,” encouraged the CEO’s boyish-looking personal assistant. “It’s more of an introduction for you, so you don’t need to worry about it much yet. Besides, we’l
Just then, M and Alexia arrived at the packhouse! They immediately joined the fighting without even shifting. They quickly got to V, who was still trying to make his way to Alpha Van der Meer…As soon as Alexia and M took their place by V’s side, the Dark Forest warriors moved away, not wanting to fight her. V saw this as an opportunity for the father and daughter to speak causing him to mindlink his Deltas and give his order of shifting their attention to the other enemy pack. Everyone, let’s lead our enemies away from Alpha Arnout and his daughter! GO! Let’s bring them all to Beta Aaron’s area so we can help him fight off the Crescent Moon pack as well! As V and his werewolves rushed off, the Silvercrest Alpha hoped for the best for his ferociously battling Gamma and his similarly continuously fighting mate …Unfortunately, Alexia’s father was not a forgiving man, even if his daughter had done nothing wrong to him at all.Attack them! Alpha Van der Meer mindlinked to his warriors
