I remained there for some more hours, not ready to see or face anyone. Each time I recall that Iโll still talk to Sheila and Grey about the mate thing, my heart sinks. I should have said something to them before this. All this while they were worried and sad that my mate didnโt want me, maybe because I was human, which was facts though but they had no idea that I knew who it was and I had been keeping it from them. They must see me as a shitty friend. I know I canโt hide out here forever plus it was getting late too. So I stood up and walked back to the castle. All for my safety. All for my safety. All for my safety. I kept reminding myself.I need to be alive to find my sister.Some people threw subtle glances my way while others stood and bluntly stared, some of them going to the extent of pointing at me. I heard murmuring from all around me whilst walking down the path and into the castle. โHis mate? No wayโ I had heard one of the people around me say.โAlpha Keanu would never
Sheila continued ignoring me and continued eating alone. Grey sat with her sometimes and also tried to get us together. I still havenโt found a perfect chance and opportunity to talk with her alone. She ignores me whenever I call her and goes the other way each time I try to move to her. I deserve it, I must say. She must have thought I didnโt value our friendship enough that I had to keep some things to myself and the fact she was very worried about it too. This afternoon, at lunch. My eyes kept darting to where she sat. Preparing myself to follow her up once she stood up. She sat with Grey today and I kept eyeing them while they ate, discussed, and laughed at their joke. I brought this upon our friendship and itโs left for me alone to repair. I bounced my legs and chewed at my fingers while waiting for her to finish. It seemed to take forever but she finally stood up, glancing quickly at me before walking out. Grey came to my side.โYou didnโt touch your foodโ his eyes took my for
Alpha Keanuโs PovโAlpha, the blue moon pack has requested our helpโ Noir walked into my office with some letters in his hands.โWere they attacked?โ I asked, looking up at him from my desk.โYes, his pack was attacked but no serious damage was done. They were able to fight them off and no life was lostโโThey fought off the rogues?โ How possible was it that this small pack was able to fight off rogues that have been successfully killing other packs?โAccording to Alpha Ray, there were only a handful of them that attacked and not the usual numberโ He handed me the letters.โAre they just rogues and not the ones that have been attacking other packs?โ โI think so. The other rogues don't attack unplanned and they are always successful in their attacksโ He responded, pouring the bottle of wine on my table into a glass, and then he sat down.โIโll go and see him then. Some of the warriors found a new hideout of the rogues in the human villageโ I spoke while my eyes scanned the content of
I woke up in the healerโs quarters with no memory of how I got there. I remembered being out in the cold last night and meeting the Alpha before I passed out. Did he bring me here? I was under a thick blanket which kept my body warm.I sat up, the blanket pooling on my lap and just then one of the healer's students entered smiling at me.โYouโre up. How are you feeling?โ Her voice was soft as she touched my forehead.โIโm good, How long have I been out for? โ I replied.โSince last night. Itโs afternoon now. Thankfully you were with the Alpha when you passed out and he brought you here on time. You need to stay warm and covered at all times. You must know that the cold doesnโt bother us so donโt go wandering out in the cold with your friendsโ She advised The Alpha had brought me here. Well, his wolf needs me so he had no choice. I didnโt want to think much about it. After more check-ups, I could finally go. I still have to meet Nabir. Hopefully, sheโll believe me this time.โDonโt fo
Iโve managed to avoid the Alpha for a week now. It was getting colder by day or maybe it was just me. Some of the girls tried getting closer to me while most of them still avoided me. I got updated from time to time on the rogue issue by Noir. I walked to the kitchen for my duties. Iโve been stuck with kitchen chores ever since the incident and I wasnโt complaining. โJade, come here pleaseโ Nabir called just as I stepped into the kitchen. She has been exceptionally nice since the incident too.All eyes turned to me. It didnโt bother me anymore. I walked closer to Nabir and she pushed a tray with expensive-looking plates in it towards me. It was used to serve the Alpha.โAlpha Keanu requested that his food be brought to his roomโ Okay, why was she telling me then? My mouth tightened as I continued staring at her.โHe specifically asked you bring itโ She cleared my confusion.What? Iโve managed to avoid him for weeks and now he wants to see me.โLetโs not get ahead of ourselves nowโ m
The days went by with no snag. Itโs been six days since my encounter with Petra. I have only seen the Alpha maybe once or twice and it was never up close. He was back to his normal self and I was back to steering clear of him. I was done with my duties and on my way to meet with Eliana. She had asked me to come with her to the market to help her choose some new vases for some flowers and plant foods. I was more than happy to leave the castle for once and enjoy myself while at it. I met Eliana on the stairs and she handed me a dark brown winter cloak and a much thicker glove than the ones I had on.โWear this. Youโll be cold once we step out. Iโve been meaning to give them to you before nowโ โThank you very much Elianaโ I took them from her putting them on and loving the feel of the woolen cloak. It was almost a perfect length telling me they werenโt for Eliana but I didnโt ask. I knew it must cost a lot which made me more grateful. Changing into the gloves she gave me, I put mine ins
Alpha Keanuโs POVI dodged a punch from Aztec, ducking under his outstretched hands. I kicked out my leg, knocking him down on his stomach on the training mat. Twisting his arm around him, I pinned him down.โGoddess Keanu, who pissed you offโ His voice was strained as he tapped repeatedly on the mat. I released his arm and he slumped defeatedly on the mat. Weโve been going at it for hours now and Iโve been handing him his ass. โGet up, one moreโ I reached out to help him up.โNah, thatโs what youโve been saying for hoursโ He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up. โDonโt be a chicken Aztec, come onโโYou know if youโre going through something, itโs best you talk about it and not punch it awayโ โJust because Iโve been beating your ass doesnโt mean Iโm going through somethingโ โYou know what I mean, come on man. Whatโs going on?โ Grabbing his shirt, he wiped off the sweat and dirt that coated his body.โNever mind, Iโll get some elseโ I would have easily called over one of the warrio
After he left, I stayed sitting, thinking of what the hell just happened. The dining hall was still silent, everybody trying to figure out what just happened. I stared at my food like it held the answers I needed. After a moment of shock passed. Whispers erupted around me. I couldnโt continue with my food so I stood up and left. I knew it was Sheila who followed me after I walked out because Grey had left minutes after the Alpha stormed out.Here I was thinking heโd be mad that I got into another trouble after his warning. He was really pissed and Iโd thought it was directed at me the moment he walked through that door. Was he really going to kill Petra or was he bluffing? I donโt plan on finding out and that was why I was going after him. I didnโt know which way he had gone but I was going to check his office first.โSlow down Jade, where are you going?โ Sheila was jogging to catch up with me.โTo find himโ I made to go up the stairs but Sheila stopped me.โI donโt think he went upst
Last night was the best night of my life. I felt thoroughly satisfied and last night showed me that Keanu has been going easy on me before because I was human. I had the better taste of him and I want nothing less. Everything was so intense between us I thought I was going to explode and thinking about it now made me horny again.โMy favorite scent in the whole world,โ Keanu said referring to the scent of my arousal in the air.A cheesy grin touched my face as his fingers went down, disappearing between my legs. At the first stroke of his fingers against my clit, a knock came on the door. We both ignored it thinking that whoever was there would go away. He continued his assault on my pussy. A muffled moan escaped me when he plunged one of his fingers inside my soaked pussy.Another knock came again and he groaned. He brought his finger to his lips and got on the bed. On his way to the door, he picked up his pants off the floor and put them on.I laid back down as he opened the door.
He tugged me into the room and I followed him inside without breaking the kiss. I was writhing in anticipation. He kissed my neck, sucking on the skin. He lifted the dress of my body and I raised my hand so he could take it off. After the dress was off, I went in for another kiss. He stopped kissing me for a moment and pulled back to look at my breasts. I heard his heavy breath before he plunged again into kissing and sucking at my skin. He continued downwards until his mouth came in contact with my erect and extra-sensitive nipples. With the flesh firmly in his mouth, his tongue at my sensitive nub which sent waves of shock to my throbbing core. My moans were becoming loud as he repeated his efforts to my other breast. My wolf was going crazy and I felt like I was going to explode with pleasure."Yesss, Keanu " I moaned. I could feel how wet I had become. My thighs were slick and hot in anticipation. With the palm of his hand, he cupped, rubbed, and squeezed my breasts. I couldn't
Juliana didnโt say a word to me as we returned to the castle. We had to walk because I donโt think any of them would get on a wolfโs back to travel. Some warriors from the pack met us halfway later with wagons and that way were able to get back to the castle before night fell. Eliana was outside of the castle when we got back and she rushed to me, wrapping me in a tight embrace. โOh thank goodness youโre okayโ She sobbed and I was sobbing with her.โIโm so sorry for what happenedโโItโs fine Jade, itโs not your faultโ She is such a strong woman and didnโt deserve any of this. โAztec, he was behind it,โ I said to her and she stepped back to look at me.โAztec?โ She asked and I nodded.โOh my goodness,โ She gasped โWhere is Keanu?โโAztec challenged him to a duel to the death. He wanted me to leave with the girls so I had to leave him behind,โ I briefly explained everything that happened to her and that I got my wolf. Ashe couldnโt stop crying.โIโm so happy for you. Everything worke
Alpha Keanuโs PovโIโm right here, Keanu,โ He repeated.I couldnโt recognize the man standing in front of me. That is not the Aztec I know. That is not my brother. He had this dark energy surround him and there was darkness in his eyes. โAztec? Whyโฆ What? Youโre the new King?โ Thereโs no way. This canโt be real.โWhy do you sound so surprised, brother? You donโt think I can be the Alpha king, like you?โ He sneered.A short humorless laugh left my lips โI don't understand. You were the mastermind behind all of this?โ How many more surprises are going to hit me?He folded his hand behind his back nodded and slowly walked closer โIโm actually impressed I could pull that off right under your noseโโBecause not in a million years would I have suspected it to be you. You wanted Jade dead? Noir is dead because of you? Make this make sense to meโHe paused his movement โNoir is dead? Well thatโs sad, that was not part of the plan but things happenโโWhy are you doing this? What has gotten in
Wait what? The conversion was successful?โIt was,โ My wolf replied in my head. This was unbelievable. I canโt explain how this feels. Everything was so foreign and weird to me. I could see the world around me but I was seeing it through someone elseโs eyes. I could smell different things at once and when I focused, I could hear even the smallest of noises from far away. What the fuck? I was amazed. โYou told me it failed!โ I heard the man shout at Alfonsus.Alfonsus with his mouth ajar answered in a shocked voice โI thought it didโWith the manโs face red like a tomato, he barked at the guards โWhat are you waiting for? Attack herโThe guards changed into their wolves and came at me. Their filthy scent hit my nose instantly, telling me what a rogue smells like. My wolf pushed forward tearing through them like a raging storm. While we were fighting the rogues, Alfonsus and the man disappeared while we werenโt watching. As my wolf killed the rogues, more appeared. Blood stained her
Alpha Keanuโs POVThe rest of the day was busy with plotting and mapping out plans. All I wanted now was to go immediately to rescue Jade but with the Army of rogues they have itโs not going to be easy to the human village and reach where I suspected she was being kept. Every Alpha agreed to provide a group of warriors to aid in the fight. I still donโt know how it going to be given how little the support was but one thing is sure, weโre are doing this no matter what. I tried as much as I could to calm myself after the Alphas left to rest for the day and regroup the next day. Every passing minute felt to me like I was wasting time in saving Jade. I had to remind myself that this was a big fight and we needed to go in prepared. Two warriors have been sent to spy on the situation over there.Later in the evening, I went to the infirmary to check on Eliana. Iโve been too occupied throughout today to see her. I reached the royal ward where she was and entered inside. She was up but she
The guard kissed his teeth and grabbed me off the ground, probably thinking I was faking it โNice tryโ He said and nudged me very hard to move, that I almost lost my footing again.I was dragged and thrown back into the cell. Most of the people were asleep when I was brought back but the sound of the cell door opening woke them up. โWho was that?โ Juliana came closer to the bar to ask.โEzra,โโKing Ezra asked to see you? And you call him by his name now? Wow, you did change a lotโ I dropped formalities on Ezra a long time ago without even noticing. The way Juliana looked at me felt almost judgmental. โCan you please stop saying that I changed?โ I begged. For some reason, it made me sad hearing it from her.โIโm sorry, I donโt mean it the wrong wayโ She apologized.It was getting late and people were starting to fall asleep again. I remained awake and so did Juliana. She didnโt say any other thing to me and I could feel a little tension between us.After a while, she spoke to me aga
I looked around for her and saw her in the cell next to mine, we were separated by a cell bar. I knew I cared through the people in my cell and got to her.โJade, what are you doing here?โ She was as shocked as I was to see her here. I could ask her the same thing.She reached for me through the bars and I held her โHow did they get you?โ She asked me again.โThe castle was attacked when Keanu was away. I thought you were safe Juliana. How are you here?โโI wasnโt safe. I took a big risk to come to see you at the red sun pack that very nightโ People around us started whispering at the mention of the Red Sun pack. I knew how much they hated wolves and I couldnโt let them find out I was mated to one. I lowered my voice to almost a whisper โHow did you find your way there? How did you even know I was there?โ โI was among some girls that were captured. We were in a cave waiting to be transported here the next day. When a woman working with the wolves heard me talking to a girl about yo
Alpha Keanuโs PovIf there was one word to describe how I felt it would be madness. I was going mad. Noir is dead and Jade is missing and to top it all, I canโt feel our bond. Rodor has sedated Eliana so she wouldnโt hurt herself or her baby.Each passing hour without her and no idea of where the fuck she is was driving me insane. I was trying the best I could to be rational and not go berserk. Loreโs patience was running thin and it wonโt be long before he acts.Iโve searched a thousand times with Tolan and some other warriors through the woods but her secret only stops at the borders. There was nothing else after that but I didnโt let that stop me. I ordered them to continue the search while I returned to the castle. With Noir dead and Aztec yet to return, I was working everything alone. The slaves jumped out of my way as I marched into the castle. Everyone knows better than to set me off. Noirโs body has been buried but not sealed. Eliana hasnโt been in the right state of mind to
