WINTER Seven allowed me to hold a small wake for Eric after his body was sent over to his father. I also intended to visit his grave with flowers once I got news about his funeral. As much as a part of me wanted to hate Eric for all the mental strain he put me through, I just couldn't. Despite being infatuated and impulsive, he was still a good friend of mine. His assurance to rescue me was one of the things that made me persevere during those six torturous years. More so, he had protected me from his sister. I wasn't sure I would have survived getting stabbed after barely surviving a gunshot wound with the aid of the Phoenix Orb. As for Becky, she was whisked away while shouting, "Seven, if I can't have you, no one else can!" Last I heard, she was going to be tried for two counts of attempted murder and murder. It turned out that after investigation, the bomb blast that almost took me and my baby's life was her doing. I had lost count of how many times Seven apologized. For some
WINTER"Run! It's a bomb!"Someone shouted over the music playing from the speakers. Suddenly, a deafening boom shredded the air.A high-pitched noise rang in my ears. The half-eaten sandwich in my hand fell to the grass as I looked up.Windows shattered, sending smithereens my way. The magnificent building I had walked out of a few minutes ago, suddenly went up in flames.My muscles froze up, and so did my brain. People ran helter-skelter as they screamed at the top of their lungs. A dark cloud of smoke and dust filled the air.The fire continued to ravage the building. From where I was standing, I could feel the heat on my skin. Slowly, my foot moved forward. I dragged myself towards the door of the building."No, no, no," was all I could say at this time. The hair on my skin turned brittle as the heat increased. Against all the noise, I could hear my heart thudding against my chest. Smoke burned my eyes as I drew closer and closer to the door. My cheeks burned too. Just as I was
WINTER"Ow!" I cried as a sharp pain shot from my back to my brain. "What's wrong with you, Seven? Why are you acting--"Out of the blue, Seven captured my lips and kissed me hard. He released my neck and grabbed a chunk of my hair instead. I couldn't tell which was more painful; the throbbing in my back or my scalp.A smoky leathery scent filled my nostrils all of a sudden. My eyes shut slowly and I soon began to kiss him back.I wanted to pound my fist on his hard chest, but something stopped me from doing so. I didn't tell him to stop. I want him. Maybe not like this. But I still want him inside of me. I always have.A spark of warmth opened between my legs when he grabbed my butt and squeezed hard. Soon, he let go. His fingers slipped under my dress and tugged on my panties.The second his finger brushed between my thighs, my eyes flew open. A bit of my senses came back."No, Seven... Let's wait—"The way his eyebrows instantly gathered indicated that he was growing impatient. "Y
WINTER Hurt twisted my belly. The glint in Seven's blue eyes was like nothing I had ever seen before. What was it? Hatred? Disgust? Or both? With a smirk, Seven leaned forward to my level. "I'll only say this once, Winter. I never loved you. And I never will!" A pang of pain, one stronger than all others, tugged at my heartstrings. I held my chest and squeezed hard. Tears continued to flow freely. My lips trembled as I stammered, "Sev... Seven, how... how could you do this to me?" Relishing my hurt, Seven smiled again and then snorted, "This is on you. It's not my fault that you were down bad for me when I was just toying with you. "You know what? You don't deserve to be my Luna. I need someone strong, extremely beautiful, and from a powerful family. You have none of these qualities, so why should I sentence myself to marriage with you?" With a shrug, he continued, "Think about it. If you are being honest, you'll agree with me that I deserve better." Every word that Seven sputte
SEVENLies, lies, and more lies were all that I ever told Winter since we met. Some I didn't tell intentionally. But lately, I have been lying to her blatantly.The air was cool as I stood on the cliff over the waterfall behind my home. However, my heart was burning as if a torch had been lit in my chest.I stared into the distance, watching Winter as she walked barefooted on the fairly empty street. It took all of my willpower not to run after her. "Damn! I should have given her a shirt," I muttered regretfully.Winter didn't deserve the way I treated her. In fact, she didn't deserve to be with a jerk like me. I should have broken up with her decently. I really should...Winter was the nicest she-wolf I had ever met. She was understanding, gorgeous, a good listener, and down-to-earth, amongst many other qualities. Any man would be lucky to have her by his side. She was worthy of so much more. And I wished I had found out earlier before dragging her into this complicated life of mine
KAI-VIIUtter surprise replaced the icy mask Seven had been wearing just a few moments ago. He stared at me without blinking as his muscular body trembled.Is that fear I sense? Seven Greywolf, the supposedly strong Alpha of Blood Crest Pack was afraid of me? Astonishing!A big smile stretched my lips. I leaned forward even more just to take in every ounce of his fear. As if he realized that he was wearing his heart on his sleeves, Seven pulled a frown and widened his eyes menacingly."What the fuck are you on? This is some obsessive bullshit! You are not me! And you'll never be. You are just a cheap knock-off from Moon Goddess knows where. I'll tear you to shreds!"My smile faded a little. A second later, I scoffed, "You are funny, Seven. Somehow, you seem to think your silly threats will work on me.""Ha-ha-ha!" I threw my head back and laughed.Seven took the opportunity to take a swipe at me. However, I caught his hand in the air. My fingers tightened around his wrist, squeezing
WINTER When Nico said she had an idea, I thought she wanted to help me take revenge on Seven for what he did to me.The last thing I expected to happen was for her to drag me to this club. I had tried to turn around and head back home, but Nico somehow bought Melanie over and they both insisted that I needed to do something to get my mind off Seven.Never did it cross my mind that I would bump into Seven here. Seven always loved his peace and quiet. He never went partying.The closest things he did to partying were having dinner with his stepmother and stepbrother every weekend, and also having a few game nights with me.I had lost count of how many times I tried to make him more outgoing. His aversion to crowds began after that tragic incident.This was one of the reasons why I even cut him some slack when he said he couldn't attend my 18th birthday party. I finally gave up trying to make him open up more because I loved him. Social or not. I just wanted to be with him.But here h
KAI-VII The episode at the club the other night had surprised me a lot. From what I learned about Winter, she was a calm and sweet young woman. I didn't recognize her at first because she looked very different from all the pictures I had seen of her. And when she looked at me, she was fierce. At first, I was worried that she would notice I wasn't Seven. But seeing how she got mad that I was partying with girls and how she called me Seven, she didn't suspect a thing. I gave myself a pat on the back for doing such a good job. If I could fool Winter perfectly, I could fool anyone else. It was daybreak already. There were two important things I had to do today. First, I needed to dispose off Seven's body. Second, I had to get this ring to Ratio. I got out of bed and went into Seven's walk-in closet. "Whoa! Dude has got good taste!" I exclaimed, seeing all the luxury pieces of designers. In the first drawer I pulled out, there were a series of wristwatches. Ratio told me Seven wa

WINTERI really died. I died with Seven's voice replaying in my head. Then his voice was replaced with a couple of others. I drifted in and out of consciousness as a bright light shone above me.When I finally woke up, Seven's face was the first thing I saw. He grabbed my hand with both of his and smiled brightly. "You're back!"My throat felt dry as I said, "What happened?""You were in a coma. The doctor took out the bullet and..."He picked up a ziplock bag from the table and held it up to me. I saw a bullet inside it. There was something else."Is that...is that what I think it is?" I muttered, staring at the strange-looking shiny ball.Seven nodded. "Yes, this is the Phoenix Orb.""How did it even get inside me?"He sighed. "On the night we had sex for the first time while we kissed, I put it inside of you. I did it to protect you, but I am sorry for not asking for your consent."I went silent for a while, replaying that night. "So, this thing has been inside my chest for six yea
SEVENEverything froze over as soon as Winter's body fell into my arms. I stared for a long time before my brain processed what just happened. "Aargh!" I roared as soon as I saw the blood on Winter's chest.Clutching her shoulders, I looked at her face which was fast becoming pale. "Winter! Why did you? Why!"She smiled at me. "Because I love you and you would have done the same?"I buried my face in her neck. "You shouldn't have. You shouldn't--""Good riddance!" A snarl interrupted my words all of a sudden.I raised my head only to find Nora still aiming the gun at me. With the swiftness of a thousand wolves, I let go of Winter and lunged at Nora. My claws pierced into her chest. And when I pulled back, her heart came with it.Her eyes bulged from the sockets as she fell to the floor with a thud. Ratio, whose head was still on her lap, growled at this moment.Blinded by immeasurable rage, I squeezed the bloodied heart in my hand. Then dropped it to the floor."You!" Ratio shouted a
SEVENEveryone froze on the spot. I looked upstairs just in time for a pair of heels to appear out of nowhere. Tracing the plump legs up, I was shocked to find the face staring down at me."Mother?"My stepmother, Nora, eyed me as she descended the stairs. The gun in her hand scrapped the banister in the process. Once she got to the end of the stairs, she barred her teeth. "I am not your mother! Don't ever call me that!"Another jolt of shock coursed through my body. I stammered, "What...what's happening? What...what are you doing here?""What does it look like I am doing here!" she barked.At this moment, Ratio growled. I saw him reach out his hand to Nora. "Come, my love."What the...My jaw dropped to the floor as I watched Nora walk over to where Ratio was lying. She placed his head on her lap and touched his face. She cried, "What have they done to you, darling? Oh, my God!""Nora!" I shouted. "What do you think you are doing? You know this guy?"At my question, Ratio flashed his
SEVENIt wasn't just any white wolf. It was a she-wolf. She landed on her thin long legs with stealth and barred her equally white teeth at Ratio who was down on his knees.Suddenly, the wolf’s head turned in my direction. My heart had just taken a great leap when I locked eyes with the she-wolf. I instantly felt a sense of connection and smelled that familiar scent.“Winter?” I called out, still skeptical.The she-wolf glanced beside me. She ran behind the coffin-like box. Seconds passed before she showed up again. This time, in her human form and fully dressed in a flannel dress.“Why did you come here? It's too dangerous. Go!” I shouted worriedly.Winter shook her head hard. “I am not leaving you. I only just got you back.”“He’s going to kill you,” I said, glancing at Ratio who was still down and groaning. “Listen to me, please! Leave!”Winter walked over to the cage. She reached out her index finger and touched it slightly. Her skin instantly sizzled. Seeing this, I got even more
SEVEN I stood still, trying to figure out where exactly the voice was coming from. "It's you. Ratio?""Yes, that's me," Came the proud voice. "But you don't get to call me that, Seven. It's Uncle Darren to you."I couldn't help chuckling. "Uncle, my foot! Considering all the atrocities you have committed, you don't even deserve a name, let alone to be called uncle by me.""Ha-ha-ha!" The laugh reverberated on the walls again. "I must say I am quite surprised, nephew. You are not like your father. Unlike him, you have got a very big mouth! Luka must be turning in his grave.""Keep my father's name out of your fucking mouth!" I roared.Ratio chuckled. "And if I don't?"My breathing was getting heavier at this time. I clenched my fists despite the burns on my palms.That voice came again. "It's not like you can do anything to me. You fell right into my trap, so I can say whatever name I like. Luka...Luka! Luka! Luka, that stupid cousin of mine.""Shut the fuck up!"Ratio didn't listen.
SEVENNo one could tell me nothing. The sex Winter and I just had blew my mind. I had gone over this moment several times, but it never occurred to me that it would be this good. I couldn't have enough of her body. Fortunately, she felt the same way.When I finally came, we were both breathing heavily. I collapsed beside her and pulled her into my arms. It didn't take long before we both dozed off. It was already dark outside when I was awoken by the ringing of my phone. I looked at the pile of my clothes that lay on the floor and saw a light coming from the pocket of my pants."Shit! Who could that be?" I cursed as quietly as possible.Winter stirred in my arms. She turned away, her bare butt rubbing against my groin. I held my breath and groaned. I knew it was only a matter of seconds before my little man began to think for me.Quickly and gently, I pulled my arm from underneath Winter's head. I got out of bed and took out my phone. I pressed the volume button before even looking a
WINTERThe moistness of Seven's lips threw me off guard. I wanted to pull away, but I found myself frozen. When he bit my lower lip hard, my whole world tilted.Sparks erupted in my closed eyes. Reels upon reels of pictures filled my head. There were images of Dawn in a princess gown. Then, there was an eruption. After that came the Seven's face. He was roaring at me. No, that's not him. That's...that's...I know him. But that's not Seven. That's... Oh, God! Why can't I reach that name?I was still struggling to remember that name when Seven parted my lips with his tongue and it found its way into my mouth. It sent a shiver through my gooey body. Images continued to pour into my head. No, they were more like motion pictures...videos. Seven's face appeared again. This time, he was smiling at me. He said something. When I read his lips, he seemed to say those magic three words. "I love you!"His voice sounded in my head at this time. "I love you, Winter, and I want you to be my Luna.""
SEVENWinter let go of her head. When she looked up at me, I realized that she had lost so much weight. She wasn't this thin when I saw her at Dawn's birthday party. More so, it seemed she had been crying a lot.What happened to her?I was just about to say something when Winter pulled away from me and ran over to Alaric. She squatted beside him as the soldiers pressed him to the floor. "Honey, please tell me that guy is saying nonsense?""He is!" Alaric declared without skipping a beat. "He's a bad man. In fact, he was the one who caused your car crash.""What!" Winter and I exclaimed at the same time.I saw her look at me. Rage sparked in her eyes. I sensed her blood boiling at the same time. Suddenly, she pointed at me and cried, "So, it was you! You almost killed me. You caused the accident that took my precious daughter away from me!"For a second, I was speechless. What crash were they talking about? Winter's only bad encounter with a car recently was from the abduction which ha
