I couldn’t shake off the bad feeling I had for some reason. I was worried about Aztec and also worried about Keanu. I didn’t sleep a wink throughout the night and it was now morning. I heard a soft knock on my door and hurried to open it. “Tolan?” My voice held surprise. The Alpha had left with some warriors and Tolan was the head warrior, he should be with them. What was he doing here?“Good morning Jade” He greeted with a little smile.“Why are you here? You didn’t go with the Alpha yesterday?”“No, he instructed me to stay and watch you while he is gone. And I’ll be training with you this morning too”My heart melted. Tolan was his strongest warrior and he thought about me enough to ask him to stay and watch me despite our argument. It didn’t sit right with me that our last conversation ended in a fight. I hoped with everything in me that he was okay.I didn’t think I was in the right state of mind for training but on the other hand, it’ll be a good form of distraction. Tolan wa
A loud continuous knock woke me up and I jumped straight out of bed moving to the door immediately without question. It was still very early in the morning, the sun was not even yet up. Twisting the locks, I opened the door. I had locked the door before going to bed. Eliana stood there with Tolan. My eyes looked back and forth between them before Eliana spoke.“They are back,” She said once her eyes landed on me.My eyes widened “When, where are they?”“At the infirmary, come with me” She turned to go immediately but I stopped her.“Hold on let me change into something good” I was in his shirt, something I had changed into before going to bed. Dashing back into the room, I hurriedly changed back into my dress, tripping and almost face planting to the floor. I rushed out and we all left together.“Are they okay?” I was breathing hard from how fast we were walking and from how anxious I was.“Aztec is up” She simply replied.“What about Keanu?” I asked and She quickly glanced at me, s
ALPHA KEANU’S POV Jade was stubborn as hell and it was infuriating. I was only trying to keep her safe but her hate for me wasn’t letting me. I can’t exactly fault her because I pushed her to it with my actions. I watched as she stormed out of the training ground angrily. I didn’t mean for the word to come out that way. I never for once saw her as weak. I just know she could do more than this and that was what I was trying to let her know.Aztec was going easy on her, I will have to train constantly with her. I almost lost her once and that was the most devastating day of my life. The fear I felt that night was one I had never felt before. That was an eye-opener for me.All these while I have been hiding my emotions behind love, too scared to show it for the fear of rejection and abandonment. No one will truly love me when they come to know me. She saw my scars and the look on her face was something I wouldn’t want to see again. The disgust, pity, and shock, it tore me. I loved it wh
I sniffled, pulling back to look at his face. His face looked surprised from my action. I was surprised too but I was so relieved and happy. I was straddling him with his hands around my tiny waist. Shit. What am I doing? I should come down but for some reason, I didn’t want to.“How do you feel?” I knew my face was bright red. I tried to adjust and he winced. That was when I noticed and remembered his wound.“I’m sorry.” I apologized and made to move but he held me back.“I’m okay” his voice was hoarse.“But your injury, my weight is on it” Somehow my knees were digging into his sides and I don’t want to cause him more pain than he already is in.“I’m fine, Jade, we heal pretty fast” he was now grinning at me.“What is making you smile like that, are you not in pain?” He looked really happy and all smiley.“You” he curtly answered.“Me?” I asked and he nodded.“Took me almost dying to get you to finally care and worry about me. You’re not an easy catch I see” his grin stretched into
His head moved from my neck to look at me. “Jade,” He warned.“Please, I want you” I placed my forehead on his.“Fuck, say that again” His eyes were staring deep into mine.“Keanu I want you” I repeated and he crashed his lips back to mine instantly. There was hunger in it this time. He kissed me like I was water and he had been thirsty for days. His tongue once again sought entrance into my mouth and I opened up for him.In between kisses, his hands unzipped my dress. He slowly slid it off me and it fell down my body, pooling around my legs. He stepped back a little to look at me and I heard a low cuss from him as he stared at my bare chest. I was in nothing except my panties.“You're so beautiful” He whispered.His hands traced my curves down to my hips. He hooked his fingers to my underwear, ripping it out. His hands came back up stopping below my breast at my mate symbol.“Mine” His eyes were on it. Sparks lighted inside me at the contact.Slowly his thumb moved up, stopping at m
Alpha Keanu’s POVMy face was in her hair, inhaling her beautiful scent. It felt surreal watching her sleep in my arms. I ran my hand down her face, feeling her soft skin. She shifted in my hands, making soft noises that made my dick hard again. Fuck, she is going to be the death of me.I placed a soft kiss on her forehead, letting my lip linger more than it should. Her scent, her body, and her full juicy lips, all were driving me crazy. I’d shut every emotion out for so long that this feels so foreign to me. But it was in a good way. I need to leave before I lose my grip on my control and decide to bury myself inside her. Reluctantly sliding out of bed, I went in for a cold shower. I knew she was very curious about my scars, but I was afraid to open up to her. What if it changes how she sees me? What if she leaves me?I have never told anyone about this, not even when I was asked and of course, it was only Noir that dared to ask. And I'd like to keep it that way.I quietly left the
My jaw dropped. “Your own father?” I regretted my question immediately after it left my mouth but I must have heard him wrong. His father? What kind of monster would do that to their child, their flesh and blood?He looked up from where he sat and I quickly picked my jaw up from the floor. I knew that was hard for him to say and I needed to be composed if I wanted to hear all of it.I quietly went to sit beside him. “Why?”His body was tense and he was bouncing his legs. If it was this hard for him to say then maybe I don’t wanna hear it. He looked so uncomfortable.“Keanu” I touched him.“You know, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to”“I want to, I... I need to. This might change how you see me but you’re my mate and it’s important you know”“Nothing is going to change I promise”“You don’t know that, little human. You know I’m no saint but I’m worse than you can imagine ” His voice was shaky.I’ve never seen him this vulnerable and it hurts watching him like this. I shoul
I was low-key nervous about attending the Annual meeting with Keanu and so I caught myself counting down the days to it, which was finally here. I was currently in the guest room with some women doing my makeup and hair. The whole time I was dying of anxiety. It’s not enough being around the high-ranked wolves and slaves the view me as nothing now I’m attending a meeting meant for the Alpha’s and their Luna, all strong wolves. I should have thought this through before agreeing to go with him. The red dress I was wearing was on the bed and I couldn’t stop looking at the beauty. My make-up and hair were now done and it was time to fit into my dress so one of the women picked it up and another one helped me into it.I can’t lie, I looked so good in it and my hair was also laid to perfection. The older lady who brought my dress smiled at me “You look beautiful my lady” “Thank you” I smiled back at her.She was the kindest of them and has been smiling and complimenting me all through.
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.“My favorite scent in the whole world,” 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 didn’t say a word to me as we returned to the castle. We had to walk because I don’t think any of them would get on a wolf’s 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. “Oh thank goodness you’re okay” She sobbed and I was sobbing with her.“I’m so sorry for what happened”“It’s fine Jade, it’s not your fault” She is such a strong woman and didn’t deserve any of this. “Aztec, he was behind it,” I said to her and she stepped back to look at me.“Aztec?” She asked and I nodded.“Oh my goodness,” She gasped “Where is Keanu?”“Aztec challenged him to a duel to the death. He wanted me to leave with the girls so I had to leave him behind,” I briefly explained everything that happened to her and that I got my wolf. Ashe couldn’t stop crying.“I’m so happy for you. Everything worke
Alpha Keanu’s Pov“I’m right here, Keanu,” He repeated.I couldn’t 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. “Aztec? Why… What? You’re the new King?” There’s no way. This can’t be real.“Why do you sound so surprised, brother? You don’t think I can be the Alpha king, like you?” He sneered.A short humorless laugh left my lips “I don't understand. You were the mastermind behind all of this?” How many more surprises are going to hit me?He folded his hand behind his back nodded and slowly walked closer “I’m actually impressed I could pull that off right under your nose”“Because 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 me”He paused his movement “Noir is dead? Well that’s sad, that was not part of the plan but things happen”“Why are you doing this? What has gotten in
Wait what? The conversion was successful?“It was,” My wolf replied in my head. This was unbelievable. I can’t 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 else’s 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. “You told me it failed!” I heard the man shout at Alfonsus.Alfonsus with his mouth ajar answered in a shocked voice “I thought it did”With the man’s face red like a tomato, he barked at the guards “What are you waiting for? Attack her”The 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 weren’t watching. As my wolf killed the rogues, more appeared. Blood stained her
Alpha Keanu’s 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 it’s 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 don’t know how it going to be given how little the support was but one thing is sure, we’re 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. I’ve 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 “Nice try” 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. “Who was that?” Juliana came closer to the bar to ask.“Ezra,”“King Ezra asked to see you? And you call him by his name now? Wow, you did change a lot” I dropped formalities on Ezra a long time ago without even noticing. The way Juliana looked at me felt almost judgmental. “Can you please stop saying that I changed?” I begged. For some reason, it made me sad hearing it from her.“I’m sorry, I don’t mean it the wrong way” She apologized.It was getting late and people were starting to fall asleep again. I remained awake and so did Juliana. She didn’t 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.“Jade, what are you doing here?” 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 “How did they get you?” She asked me again.“The castle was attacked when Keanu was away. I thought you were safe Juliana. How are you here?”“I wasn’t safe. I took a big risk to come to see you at the red sun pack that very night” People around us started whispering at the mention of the Red Sun pack. I knew how much they hated wolves and I couldn’t let them find out I was mated to one. I lowered my voice to almost a whisper “How did you find your way there? How did you even know I was there?” “I 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 Keanu’s 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 can’t feel our bond. Rodor has sedated Eliana so she wouldn’t 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. Lore’s patience was running thin and it won’t be long before he acts.I’ve 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 didn’t 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. Noir’s body has been buried but not sealed. Eliana hasn’t been in the right state of mind to
