When you are alone, the days seem to drag slowly, as if they would never end. But somehow, the heart begins to get used to it. Yes, I was a bit annoyed, but I wasn't mad, due to the fact that I knew the situation surrounding it.

It had been a month since Lucas and I parted ways, and it was better than the last, only because I knew it was going to be temporary. I had tried to avoid hearing any news about him or trying to find out his whereabouts.

It is better that we keep it this way; it is easier.

During the course of the month, I had managed to build myself back up, both physically and mentally, and I had tried to busy myself with work so as to make the pain less. And it has been working; now, whenever I think of him, it is more of a wish than a burning desire.

My parents decided to embark on another trip since, according to them, the pack wasn't in trouble and they were in need of a break. Although I didn't see what they were taking the break for.

Since they could, all they had

    "Wait up." He yelled at my retreating figure, and I heard him stand up in a hurry, carrying his surfboard with him, and run to get to me. I increased my pace, throwing my long legs as far as possible. He caught up to me, panting; his whole face was red from the running, and his mouth was open, trying to catch his breath."You sure do walk fast; why did you leave so suddenly? We weren't through with talking." I looked at him, studying his features well. He was still young, probably fresh out of the hostel. It is a shame that humans are unable to resist our seduction. It is an innate behaviour in werewolves; they are generally more attractive than their human counterparts."I have somewhere to be, and I am running late." I replied, glancing at my wristwatch."Alright, I also have somewhere to be. Why don't I drop you off wherever you are going?" "A pretty lady like you shouldn't be walking.""I came with my car, so there will be no need for that." I gestured to my white Cadillac, letti

    Womb sharer: Hey, sis, we just arrived at the place we would be staying, and it is pretty sick. Mom and dad went all the way, and now I know where all the pack money has been going to. Attached to the text were pictures of the palace where they will be staying before they begin their tour, and I was wowed. The room and bathroom were impeccable; everything was so immaculate that one could literally smell money all over it. It includes a pool, a Jacuzzi, and literally everything you would need to be comfortable. I was seething with jealousy. This was where they were going to spend about two weeks, in the heart of Sydney, before they began their journey. Me: It looks really good; I am jealous. Try not to forget that you have an older sister who is in need of some spoiling. I teased him and closed the phone, placing it face down. A ping came from my phone almost immediately, and I was rushing to open it. Womb sharer: Just by five fucking minutes. It isn't a big deal. Then he sent a g

    I laid on the bed, face down, as the tears were dripping from my eyes. My throat was so clogged that I couldn't swallow properly, and my chest felt heavy as if there were a weight on it. "Jaz?" Liam called from the sitting room, his voice shaking. He hadn't expected me to react like that, and he had always hated making people cry. "Did I do something wrong?" His voice was getting closer, until his scent finally filled the room. "I am sorry?" He apologised, the confusion heavily laced in his voice.He stood beside me, and I could imagine he was running his hands through his hair in frustration; he didn't know what he had done or how he could remedy it. I sniffed, trying to clean my eyes as much as I could before I answered him."It is fine; I am fine; I just want to be left alone." I explained, sitting up on the bed."I don't think so; you are clearly not fine. Did I do something wrong?" He asked, trying to thread carefully so as not to upset me. His weight pressed the bed down as he

    "What will you do about the distance?" I asked her, as she said he wasn't in the pack."We talked about it, and we decided that I would stay here. I have a duty here to my pack, and I love my job too much to leave it behind." She explained."That is nice, but what about him? Where would he be?" I just had to ask. He wasn't in our pack, so I doubt they will be able to see each other often, and I hope to God it isn't like my situation.Her eyes widened as we both got what I was saying, and she shook her head, waving her hands about. "Oh no, it isn't like your case." A shadow cast over my face, and I frowned. "I apologise; I shouldn't have said that." She quickly apologised when she realised what she had just said."It is okay; just be mindful of your words next time." I cautioned her, and her smile returned."Well, basically he doesn't have a pack since he is a huge explorer. He hops from one pack to another, but he said he was going to settle down because of me, and he chose to settle

    And so we did. We had a good time talking about constellations, astrology, and other space related things. It was exhilarating to have a conversation with him; the tension that came with waiting for his message and the smile that grazed my face when he sent them were just everything. It wasn't hard to see the reasons why teenagers love wasting their time on idle chats. It was fun. These were things I never got to experience as a youth, and doing them now was fun. We have both discovered a mutual interest now, and it seems we were on the same page for the first time in my life. I woke up with groggy eyes, having spent most of the night with Lucas arguing about astronomy, but it was well worth the time. I lay on my bed for a moment, trying to compose myself, when my phone lit up with a notification as a ping went off, and on checking, it was a text from Jason. Womb sharer: I just arrived in Chicago, and I am with Liam. Everything seems okay for now. I think I made the right choice

    It had been a week now since Lucas and I had started "dating," as I would like to call it. We talk to each other every day on the phone, chatting like high school lovers. It was exhilarating, and it was like entering new territory. Little by little, I could feel our bond getting closer, and my heart yearned for him more.We found common ground in astronomy, and we spent a good deal of time debating on it. It was fun, you know, getting to know each other in that way. But in getting to know each other, we never ventured into personal situations.It was like an unspoken rule. Never meddle in a person's life.We were living in pretence, pretending like we weren't the alphas of two great packs, that we weren't mates, and that I didn't already bear his mark. It was easier that way to pretend we were strangers just getting to know each other and that we didn't have the weight of the world hanging on our necks. And it has been working for us.Lucas, without the alpha title, was a bit of a

    "Hey." His lips widened into a smile as he saw me and my walls dissolve, mirroring his image. My body immediately became light and charged just from being near him. "Fancy seeing you here?" This was the last place I expected him to be, considering how busy it was and the proximity of his pack, and honestly, he doesn't look like someone who has any idea of the word "fun." "I could say that to you. What are you doing here?" The smile refused to leave his face, and it left me wondering if I was the one who had that effect on him. He hadn't changed since the last time I saw him, although his beard was longer now and he looked more dashing. But apart from that, everything seems to be the same. But why was the effect he had on me increasing? "I was getting bored at home, and Louisa suggested this place. She said they were holding a festival and it was going to be fun, so I decided to come see for myself." I explained. "And I assumed Louisa to be a friend, no?" He asked unsurely, as I ha

    "To find my sister." I halted, even as my mouth dropped open, my pupils widening a notch as I heard what he just said."Your sister?" I asked incredulously. I jerked my hands off him so I could process what I just heard."Yeah, why are you acting all surprised? It isn't a mews; you know I have a sister already, so cover your mouth before the flies begin your meal." I immediately shut my mouth."Why didn't you tell me you came with your sister?" Now I feel so foolish; I was getting jealous of his sister."I didn't see the need; besides, you already know now, so it is all in the past.""That isn't it. You should have told me at least; I have always wanted to meet her, so if that scene doesn't happen, I will never get to meet her, right?"He just shrugged his shoulders. "You are wasting time stalling; we need to go." He took my hands and began to lead me through the throng of sweating and smelling people.Finally, we got to a clear opening far away from the crowd. Lucas's eyes were gleam

    Lucas was able to get me to see reasons why we should merge the pack, and I agree. I had already relayed the information to the pack. At first, they were sceptical about it, not knowing how to behave towards these new intruders. But as words passed around and the date kept drawing near, the excitement began to increase. Everyone had an individual reason for being happy. The nurses and warriors who had been previously sent to the other pack during the exchange were very excited about the news. They could finally see their families without having to get permission to go across the border. While the pack was excited about the possibilities and exposure I would bring. Imagine two powerful packs merging to become one; we would easily become the most powerful and unstoppable pack on the continent, rivaling even the best pack on the continent. I was happy for all those things, but nothing could be compared to the fact that I would get to spend every waking moment with my mate. I was ove

    I blinked my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light that was streaming from the window blind. I successfully opened my eyes after several tries and was greeted by the dull painting of my room.I groaned on the bed, feeling my head alight with pain. Something was different, but I couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. But everything was just different.Maybe it was the way Lucas' scent was saturated in the room; it literally filled everywhere, like he had been staying here all day.I rolled across the bed till I got to the edge, and I placed my legs gingerly on the floor. I tested their strength to see if they could support me, and they could.I stood up slowly and made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself. I washed my hands after I had done my business. From there, I proceeded to wash my face, and I padded out of the room after I was through, back to my room.Someone, whom I assumed was Lucas, had changed me into shorts and a shirt. Just then, my stomach rumbled, and I looke

    I didn't know where the man had come from, but he had run up to me and collided with me. The impact was forceful enough to make me stumble all across the floor, and I was lucky I did.Because, just then, the man exploded into bits and pieces beside me, spraying us with his innards.Then everything was pure chaos.Someone screamed behind me, and I suspected it was one of the warriors. I could hear someone running beside me. There was a high-pitched noise ringing in my ears, and it continued, the bell refusing to stop.I could feel my body leaving me, and it was like I was floating in midair from all the chaos. The ringing began to gradually subside, and in that state, I realised that there was a girl who was also at risk of exploding."She can't be away from him; she would blow up. She can't be away from him; she would blow up." I kept murmuring the phrase like a broken toy. It was a way to keep me in touch with reality."Alpha, are you okay?" A cute face peered down at me, worry lines

    Under the guidance of Lucas, we were able to safely scale the landmine. And it wasn't until everyone had a good metre passed it and were safe that my breathing finally went back to normal.The fact that someone close to me also had a near-death experience was enough to sober anyone, and we all moved quietly as we walked deeper into the forest.The air was getting stale as we ventured in, and at a point, the hair on my body stood stiff, as if it could tell the danger lurking behind.The sunlight filtered through the towering trees, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. Everyone was quietly walking forward, and it added to the eerie feeling.I tightened the grip on the hilt of my dagger and took a deep breath, summoning courage. While praying for the goddess to help me.The air grew colder as we ventured further into the heart of the forest, and the sound of nature was slowly fading away, replaced by an unnerving silence.I winced as my shoe got caught on a metal piece, and Lucas t

    We have been running for so long that I have lost count of the hours. The adrenaline that had been fueling me was gradually depleting, and I was already getting tired.But I still continued urging on; it also helped that Lucas was beside me, motivating me in his own way. He was running behind me, and anytime my speed was declining, I would feel his cold nose on my rump pushing me forward.That really helped because we were able to cross the border of a pack, and we were currently in another one. I had already gotten permission from the alphas of the pack we would be passing through; it was considered folly not to do so. I also beseeched them for their help, and they were happy to lend their support in their own way.I looked ahead of me and saw that the sun was glistening on a surface, which was no doubt a body of water. I gathered momentum, my legs suddenly becoming alive and kicking forward as I saw the lake.The sun had been scorching down on us in all its ferocity, barely sparing

    I could see the silhouette of a man fast approaching where we were standing, and I was instantly on high alert. My hands reached back automatically to the back of my jeans, and I removed an object, craftily hiding it behind me. I had hidden weapons all over my body, and I was currently holding a steel blade that had been so well sharpened that it could cut through anything.I had very good throwing skills, coupled with good hand-eye coordination, so should the person pose a threat to me, I would have the blade firmly lodged in his neck before he could move further, so perfectly that he would be unable to breathe freely.The silhoutte was getting closer, and with it was the scent. That sweet, enticing scent that could only belong to one person wafted to where I was, and I was sniffing it like a dog, wanting more from where it came.The man behind the alluring scent came out of the shadow, his sharp features clearly visible in the dark, and I was holding my breath.Just his presence alo

    Maya was urging me to ask my mom about the voice recording because she felt she would have opinions about it. According to her, Kiayra told her that she would know about it. Kiayra was my mother's wolf and had been with her since she shifted.So if there was anyone who would know these things, it was definitely Kiayra. So I listened to her, and I was sending my mother the voice recording. The parents were currently out of town because they went to pay a visit to my aunt.And yeah, my dad is aware of everything that has been going on; he only called to ask me if I was okay and if I ever needed help from him. My dad is a firm believer in letting people do what they want, as long as they are not doing the wrong thing.He said I was the alpha now, and the pack was mine. It was my decision to run it however I wanted to run it, as long as I didn't ruin it. Many people may not agree with that sort of reasoning, but it has helped me grow into a strong, independent woman.But I do believe I am

    I groaned as the loud ringing disrupted my sleep. Will there ever be a day where I get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep? In another world, it may have been possible, but in this present world, I very much doubt that.I took a deep breath to calm myself before I lost it. "Patience, Jasmine, patience. It may just be important." Maya prodded me on, and I sighed as I picked up the device."Hello." I spoke into the receiver. Beside me, Lucas stirred as he heard my voice, and his eyelashes fluttered as he tried to open them, making me swoon because Lucas was always handsome on a regular day, but he was breathtaking when he was sleepy and a little cute."Alpha, help us." A voice whispered panic on the phone, and immediately I was up, every atom of sleep gone from my eyes. Lucas also stirred beside me and sat upright.I heard that voice; it was the woman's bratty daughter that was missing. "Suzy? Is that you?" Lucas' ears perked up as he heard the name. I had informed him of the missing person,

    The day was still young, and although the sun was still shining its bright light on us, I was drained and stressed out. I have been wrung out to the point that the only thing that could remedy it was quality rest. And that was what I was going to get now.I looked down at our jointed hands as we walked down the path to the pack house. I could feel curious eyes on us, but I could care less. I was happy that we didn't have to keep hiding the fact that we were mates.We had gotten up to the huge double mahogany door that stood tall and unyielding, and I was going to take another step forward when a thought flashed through my mind and I remembered that he wasn't living in this pack and may likely have somewhere to be. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" I asked, gently stroking the hairs at the back of his palm."Uh?" He raised his eyebrows, looking at me all confused."Your pack." I provided. "You can't leave the pack just like that. I am fine now, so you are free to go." It took great pai
