“A dance, you say? Like the song and dance, you gave me just so I agree to what you wanted? Is that what you mean?” the not-so-sober lawyer slurred in sarcasm.

“Please put the bottle away, Ma’Heron. I really do want you to be clearheaded when we do this mission.”

“Mission? I think I misunderstood. A mission usually requires the participants to know all pertinent details of the said arrangements before they accept. Or you haven’t watched the Mission Impossible movie franchise yet? Or perhaps that’s how your pack views missions?” slurred M as he now found himself inches away from the woman.

He towered over her and he realized that the top of her head reached only up to his smooth square jaw and without her heels, she would probably be only up to his shoulder. However, the height difference didn’t seem to matter to her as she looked up to him with an expression that made him feel that she was as tall as he…

Meanwhile, her voice’s tone made him feel smaller than her, and that infuriated

    Goddess, he’s gone insane! He’s going to get himself killed!Alexia, along with the whole ballroom full of guests, gasped and reacted accordingly to the livid and fully tipsy lawyer’s announcement. It was indeed a worthy proclamation since it was loud enough to reach even those outside who were cooling themselves off in the balconies and gardens. And it was obvious that the proud challenging Gamma, couldn't care less who heard him.Alex’s father was the first to break the shocked and startled silence among those sitting at their table, “Mate? That’s ridiculous! My daughter has never mentioned one to me, Abner. I swear it.”The younger Alpha sneered before replying. He then took a step nearer his challenger, realizing to his distaste that he was shorter and less athletically built than the man in front of him, “Interesting… Your mate, you say? And a Gamma from a rival pack, no less. That is rich… no, it’s hilarious…”M recognized the look of insecurity that Abner used to measure him fr

  • Her Christmas Wolf   THE RESCUE

    “Are you sure you weren’t followed by anyone there?”“Yes Alpha, we used the secret passageway on the left wing of the event venue. Even if they managed to follow us out to the tower, we would have sensed and smelled out their presence once they pass through our territory’s gardens, since it is made up mostly of open space.”“Alright. The Elders are all here in the ballroom but you never know if they’ve sent someone out to tail you.”Ma’Heron was slowly waking up, but as he listened intently to the conversation he was overhearing, he decided to play dead. This was quite easy to do since it seemed he and his “companions” were in total darkness, somewhere with solid walls based on how the speaker’s voice was echoing.“How long will they be still staying there, Boss?”“It may take a while. We’re all waiting for Alexia to come out of her bedroom. She seemed to have fainted when that Silvercrest bastard collapsed and she was brought out of the ballroom so she can recover. This synced reac

    Ma’Heron… my love…Alexia, beloved… Thank the goddess, you’ve finally linked with me… Husband, I don’t have much time. He might come back anytime soon… A pause that felt like a lifetime.So, it’s true, wife… Abner truly has abducted you. Has he… Did he?Listen, beloved, I really have no time to talk about that. I just want you to know that I intend to escape because even if V accepts his challenge, he has no intention of returning me to you. Which means he intends to cheat.The Gamma’s chest tightened at what he heard, but what really crushed him was what he didn’t hear from her. She could have easily said yes or no to his question, instead, she shifted the topic…And unfortunately for her and sadly for him, silence usually meant yes.How could he possibly cheat in a challenge? The Elders will have his head if we don’t beat them to it, Alexia. I don’t know how yet but I feel it and you know my premonitions, Ma’Heron. They always do come true. Besides, he can hardly beat you in a f

    A couple of hours later, Bren would be fixing up his unique concoctions in the Gamma’s apartment suite. He was truly challenged in following Ma’Heron’s request for a specific type of brew with a particular kind of effect. The red-haired former rouge has now personalized this one particular potion for the Gamma’s use tonight.Meanwhile, M had decided to take a shower, and then began to meditate in one corner of his living room. This specific compact space sported a small bamboo mat, a few votive candles, and some lighted incense sticks in a glass holder. Somehow, the short silk robe that he still chose to wear made him all the more sage-like. The silent Gamma had already sat cross-legged on the mat with his almond eyes tightly closed .“And you really think that your enemy will try to push you to the edge tonight, even if the Elders will be there as witnesses, Sir?”“I profile people for a living, Bren. And knowing Abner, he certainly will,” was Ma’Heron’s low and sonorous reply, the

  • Her Christmas Wolf   SECRETS

    There was a small slab of bacon, a bowl of Texas-style chilli - beans with chopped beef instead of ground - with grated cheese, sour cream, and dill on top, and a whole medium-sized loaf of bread with a side of butter curls on a dish. The large mug of coffee was strong and steaming, while the glass of water was chilled with no ice.The Gamma looked at the feast in front of him, then at the wall clock adjacent to the bed. He couldn’t believe that this woman could have possibly cooked all these in less than a couple of hours.And how the hell did she know that I love chilli with cheese and sour cream?“Eat up while it’s hot. I was hoping you’d heal fast enough to have at least a still-warm meal. I wasn’t sure when you were going to wake up, by the way. However, I took the chance and started cooking as soon as I finished dressing your wounds. You can take painkillers after you’re done eating. I found them in the ground floor bathroom wall’s metal first aid kit. They’re right there on our

  • Her Christmas Wolf   THE BLAME GAME

    Lyon? What the fuck… Where did you go a while ago? What happened to you?Seriously, I really don’t understand what happened, M. One minute I was here and the next thing you know, I’m in Lala Land, out like a light!Wait, I remember something… I think that small stinging sensation on my right bicep before we got clobbered has something to do with what happened, Lyon. Could be, Ma’Heron. It’s a good thing then that our mate was able to save you from her ex-BF’s goons. Excuse me? Abner wasn’t even her real boyfriend! And what do you mean save me? I could have easily saved myself without her help!Riiiiight, and all these wounds, really bad injuries, and your concussion show that you were totally in control during the attack?! Really, M? I thought your pride being handed to you on a platter would make you realize a thing or two about you and our mate!OH, SHUT UP about the MATE THING LYON! You’re better off if you stayed silent like hors before!I totally agree! Especially if my human W

  • Her Christmas Wolf   PLANS TO ESCAPE

    Ma’Heron knew that what he was doing was absolutely wrong and should just stop defending himself. Unfortunately, he was never known to take defeat that well and it upset him even more than it had to be “her” who would put him in his place…“Well, MATE, I think your plan was stupid, to begin with. And I was totally insane to even consider agreeing to it! It would have helped if you were there earlier to discuss it with me!”“And what was I supposed to tell the people dressing me up for the wedding? Oh, can I have my partner-in-crime come up here so we can talk about me running away? I told you; if you didn’t get all drunk and stuck with my plan…”“YOUR PLAN! Always YOUR PLAN! I’m tired of hearing you bossing me around, acting so high and mighty by making me look stupid. Or getting my ass kicked without even knowing how or why! I don’t need you telling me what to do and I don’t want you continuously reminding me that we’re mates! I don’t need a mate or marriage, either! As a matter of f

  • Her Christmas Wolf   DRUGGED

    Alexia, are you sure this is a good idea? Why don’t we just take our things from our locker and go?Margay, please, I just got myself internally battered and bruised by the one man I thought could and would rebuild me. So much for mates, right?Yes, but that’s not enough reason to bed just any male…She finally arrived at the Ragdoll, happy that she had clothes in her locker, along with her fake IDs, passports, and other personal documents that could assure her of a new life out of her father’s pack.Alex had them made around a month before, so she didn’t have to explain anything to the people who ran the club if ever she did disappear for good. It was easier to deal with them that way since it would not make sense that a psychotherapist with a PhD degree would want to be a pole dancer.She never did understand how society could judge a woman’s interests as “damaging” to the masses’ perception of their professions. But such is life…“Hey, Alexandra! You’re not scheduled to dance for t

    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

  • Her Christmas Wolf   THE CHALLENGE

    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’

  • Her Christmas Wolf   GEARING UP

    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

  • Her Christmas Wolf   THE TORTUROUS WAIT

    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!

  • Her Christmas Wolf   MUTUAL AGREEMENT

    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

  • Her Christmas Wolf   THE CALL

    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

  • Her Christmas Wolf   INTRODUCTIONS

    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!
