2024-01-25 03:58:00Tanya’s POV
On a warm August day, he sat across from me on the picnic blanket, talking about his latest job at the local diner. I was completely zoned out, all I could think about was how his toned muscles flexed every time he raised his hand while explaining each event, a habit he doesn't seem to know how to stop.My boyfriend was the most beautiful man in town. He had this gorgeous blonde hair that reached his shoulders with the most captivating green eyes. I always got bullied by other girls for not being up to his standards, I'm defined as your average girl by most.“Are you listening?” Orion asked, startling me back into the present. I quickly smiled at him and nodded my head.“Then what are you so quiet for?” Orion questioned further. “Did something happen at home? You've been quiet today,” he stated, looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. He started deep into my soul awaiting an answer. I knew I had to answer him or he wouldn't let it go.Well, here goes nothing…. “There's something I want to talk about…. I got admitted to the university.” I said sighing, Orion brightened up, and he quickly tackled me to the ground with a rib-crushing hug. Happily, he kissed me all over, on the cheeks, nose, lips, neck… even on my temples.“You should have said so earlier, we could have gone somewhere else to celebrate…..” his expression quickly changed when he noticed I wasn't as bubbly and happy as he was.“What's wrong Tanya? Are you sad because you'll be busy now? We could always meet during the weekends, plus it's just a 30-minute bus drive from Fayette to the University of Kentucky. It's a trip we can make in a day, don't be sad, love.” Orion said trying to make me feel better.“That’s the thing, babe, it's not the UK. It's Mystique University, a school in shadowclaw. It's out of town and a 6-hour drive.” I told Orion, sounding all sad and deflated.“What do you mean ShadowClaw? What is even that? Why there? What happened to the UK? You can't just move somewhere far away just for school? You should reject the admission, and stay at home another year.” he said matter of factly, leaving no room for argument.He looked so angry right now, I had never seen Orion this angry before. I almost cried as I said, “The UK denied me admission, again. Mystique University was the only school to offer me one. I tried convincing my parents for me to stay home an extra year but they didn't take it lightly. I'm already 20 years old, Orion. I'm getting older, the world won't wait for me”.Orion looked at me with disgust in his eyes, he was so red with anger that you could almost see the fumes coming out of his ears. After seconds of sitting there staring at me in utter disgust, he sighed. It seemed he concluded…. “You have to choose between me or this school in some unknown state,” he said with so much seriousness that I was left speechless.“You can't possibly be expecting me to choose,” I said all flustered and shocked. “I am sure you heard me correctly Tanya, do not make me repeat myself.” and there it was, Orion was serious.I stared at him without saying anything, thinking if I stared at him long enough he'd realize how stupid his statement was. But what Orion said next drove me to the point of tears… “If you decide to go to Mystique University, consider this relationship over”.I gasped, “You can't be serious Orion, you want to break up with me because I finally decided to pursue a degree? The one dream you've been claiming to be so supportive of?” I accused in a shocked voice.“Oh please, stop trying to blow things out of proportion. Make your choice and let's get this over with”, I started crying at his words. He didn't even flinch once at my reaction. Orion has become ice cold, he's staring at me like I'm dirt under his shoes, not someone he claims to love.I made up my mind… “I choose my dreams Orion”, this decision broke me but I had to do what was best for me whether he liked it or not.Orion stood up, gathered his things, and spat beside my feet. “Filthy whore, I should have never dated you. Go to this ShadowClaw place, have the time of your life and never contact me again”. And that was it, he left me there speechless and crying. People walked by staring at me with sad looks in their eyes. It was obvious that I had just been dumped. If the two half-empty plates of food and glasses of juice were not enough of an indication, then the loud manner in which Orion shouted his insults must have been proof enough.I sat there on the blanket for one more hour, crying ugly fat tears. After an hour, I stood up and began walking around the park aimlessly. This went on for 2 more hours, then I found myself in front of the lake. I decided to drown myself. After all, the one person I loved with all my heart doesn't want me anymore. I should stop living. I walked into the lake, going further and further until my head was under the water. I let go and allowed myself to drift into the unknown. Suddenly, I felt a hand wrap around me and pull me out. I started coughing profusely as I struggled to get some air back into my lungs.“Are you crazy? Why would you do that? Tanya Lexie Reynolds, is this what we taught you? You decide to die horribly and leave your mother and me feeling like failures?” my dad said, sounding angry, hurt, and confused at the same time.I started crying uncontrollably, letting my tears stream down my face in a rush… “I’m sorry Dad, I don't know what came over me… I'm so sorry”.“Oh, baby girl. Shhhh, it's okay. Daddy’s here now. It's all going to be fine. Don't cry, Daddy's got you” my dad whispered to me as he hugged me tightly. We sat there by the bank of the lake, while my dad rocked me in his embrace back and forth.We sat there for 10 minutes before Dad pulled back and stared at me… “would you tell me what happened Tanya? This isn't you.” Dad said, looking at me skeptically.“Orion broke up with me,” I said in a quiet and timid voice. I was shivering, I hadn't even realized how cold I was until Dad wrapped me up in his jacket.“That piece of shit!! He isn't worth it Tanya, one day you'll find someone who loves you and you'll realize how much of a douche this Orion boy is”, Dad said in a firm but reassuring tone… “for now, let's take you back home and keep this little mishap from mom…. Wouldn't want her catching a fright, would we?” I shook my head no and stood up with Dad as he led me back to his car.We drove back home in silence. My head was filled with loads of crumbling memories from my relationship with Orion. I didn't even notice we were home until Dad parked the car in the garage.Related chapters

Tanya’s POVIn the days leading up to the move, my frustration bubbled beneath the surface. "I can't believe you're making me leave everything behind!" I exclaimed to my parents.Mom tried to soothe me, "Sweetie, it's a great opportunity. New school, new friends—it's a chance for a fresh start."I crossed my arms, "Fresh start? More like starting from scratch. I finally had a group of friends, and now I have to rebuild everything."Dad chimed in, "Change is part of life, Tanya. You're not leaving your memories behind; you're making room for new ones."I sighed, "I don't want new memories; I want my old ones. Why can't things just stay the same?"Mom hugged me, "We understand it's hard, but change brings growth. You'll see, Shadowclaw might surprise you."I remained unconvinced, muttering under my breath, "I doubt it."As moving day approached, I reluctantly packed up my room, holding onto the familiarity of my old life.I sat in my room, surrounded by moving boxes and a heavy heart.

Tanya’s POVI sat in the backseat of the car, staring out at the passing landscape as my family drove towards my new home in ShadowClaw. The argument from last night still echoed in my mind, their words weighing heavily on my heart.As the car rolled on, my mother, Penelope, turned to me. "Tanya, sweetheart, I know this move is difficult for you. But remember, Mystique University is a great opportunity for your future."I sighed and looked down at my hands. "I know, mom. But leaving everything behind, my friends, the familiarity of home, it's just so hard."Jack, my father, glanced at me through the rearview mirror. "We understand, Tanya. It's normal to feel scared and unsure about such a big change. But sometimes, stepping out of our comfort zone is necessary for growth."A voice in my head interrupted with unusual enthusiasm. "Come on, Tanya! Think of all the amazing things waiting for you at the university. New friends, new experiences, and who knows, maybe you'll even discover a h

Tanya’s POVThe girl turned around, a huge smile on her face…. “Hi, I'm…..” at the same time I said “Monica!!!! Hey! What are you doing here?” “Oh, this is my new room”, Monica stated.“Wow, this is my room as well. Been here for a week” I told her excitedly. Monica’s smile faltered a little if I wasn't paying close attention to her, I wouldn't have noticed.“That explains the decor”, Monica said in a weird tone. “What?” I was confused…. “Oh nothing, I'm glad we're roommates” she stated in an overly chirpy voice. “Me too,” I exclaimed, equally excited.I had always hoped for a roommate who would become my confidante, my comrade, someone who would understand and support me through the ups and downs of college life. I'm more than happy and content with the fact that I got Monica as my roommate, the first and only person who has been kind to me so far.I glanced around the dorm room, tidying up my belongings as Monica was out for class, the door swung open, revealing Monica with a warm

Tanya’s POVFeeling the weight of Monica's unexpected threat, I knew I had to find a new place fast. My days became a whirlwind of stress and uncertainty as I embarked on the journey of searching for a new hostel.I wandered through the streets of Shadowclaw, scanning every "For Rent" sign and jotting down phone numbers. The weight of my backpack seemed heavier with each rejection, and the fear of being unwelcome lingered in the pit of my stomach.At one point, I stumbled upon a hostel called Moonlight Haven. The name itself felt like a soothing balm for my troubled soul. I cautiously approached the reception, my nerves on edge.The receptionist, a friendly woman with a warm smile, greeted me. "Looking for a place to stay?"I nodded, "Yeah, just moved here, and things didn't work out at my previous hostel."She handed me a brochure, "Moonlight Haven might be the perfect fit for you. We believe in creating a peaceful, welcoming environment."The atmosphere at Moonlight Haven was notice

Tanya’s POVAs I stepped into Moonlight Haven that night, a mix of anticipation and uncertainty hung in the air. The decision to leave my previous hostel, haunted by the cruel whispers and the weight of constant bullying, led me to this seemingly ordinary yet oddly inviting place.Moonlight spilled through the windows, casting a soft glow on the worn-out carpets that crunched beneath my shoes. Little did I know that within these walls, a world untouched by ordinary rules awaited. The air buzzed with an inexplicable energy, whispering secrets that eluded my understanding.The creaking of the old staircase echoed my apprehension as I made my way through the dimly lit corridors. The hostel seemed to hold stories in its timeworn bricks, stories I had yet to uncover. It was a moonlit beginning, a fresh start, unbeknownst to me that the ordinary facade concealed extraordinary secrets that would shape the course of my life in ways I could never have imagined.The door groaned softly as I ent

Tristan’s POVI toyed with the night lights of my pack bedroom, first pressing the switch button on the remote and then shutting them off after a few seconds, watching the room flicker between brightness and darkness simultaneously.I turned around in bed, my head going from resting on my arms to the pillow to the bed itself, with my eyes closed I tried to get in at least 2-3 hours of sleep after working the whole day. Usually, after my busy day working 14 hours, I would be out succumbing to darkness but for the past 2 days, it has been the opposite. I've been struggling to sleep, my mind racing with thoughts of the weirdly attractive human girl I met in the woods behind Moonlight Haven.I can hear the raindrops falling against the glass wall which gives a picturesque scene of the whole pack. ShadowClaw pack. This very pack became mine too early and probably would have an alpha born of a loveless marriage after me. It's a shame that my father got ill and can't continue his pack duties

Tanya’s POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling woozy, like I had hit my head on a wall. The events of yesterday came rushing back to my head spontaneously most especially those haunting hazel eyes that deprived me of my sleep. I had so many questions but no means to get answers, Ms. Grant would not talk to me either, and looking at the creepy nature of my housemates, I knew making the moves to get answers would be a dead end. I resolved not to let it overwhelm me, I’ll take it a day at a time. I looked at the time, jumped out of bed, and ran to the bathroom. I was going to be late for Professor Eugene’s class. I took off the nightwear I wore and tossed it farther from the bathtub as I entered the old and unbalanced Jacuzzi tub. It had lost its original color which I believed was white, I imagined how long it hadn’t been in use for. I felt a relaxing kind of sensation that soothed my insides so much immediately my skin made contact with the warm water. It reminded me of home, it also

Tristan’s POVMy mind never stopped running back to her. She had made herself at home in my head and I loved how it made me feel. I went from my usual morning run and I suddenly felt a twinge of ecstasy in my chest that caused me to stop in my tracks. A powerful scent that sought nothing but to bring me to my knees engulfed me. It was her, I knew it was her, that human with those beautiful pure eyes I met in my wolf form that day in the woods, she was close. I looked around anxiously for a sign of her, but I got none and it was beginning to piss me off. SKY, my wolf was pacing inside of me, he sizzled with so much energy, and he felt her too. “She’s here…somewhere close, I can feel her, Yesssss, I can feel her” Sky giggled inside me, I felt him surfacing, a sign that he wanted her so badly. “Take it easy, will you? You can’t possibly surface here, we might just end up scaring her away, I can’t even get a sight of her and it’s frustrating me, don’t add your tension to my already tens

His Human Mate Chapter 74
Tristan's POV. In a short matter of time, my men and I were at the Old Nights Villa. As usual, the house looked deserted and with the thick eeriness that covered the whole place, it took only the strong minded to go close. The house had been labeled haunted hence unapproachable since I was a young boy and I hadn't been here too. We were all ready to go in and fight to redeem our pack and take my mate back home with me. I turned and signalled my men to go ahead and surround the house while Tarrell and I stayed back. We headed into the house after my men had all taken their respective positions. As we stepped into the house, the eeriness followed. The living room was filled with dust and cobwebs, making it look deserted. Even with the eerie outlook of the room, I could still feel the presence of someone else hovering steadily in the room. "Someone is in here, I can feel it." Tarrell said as though he read my mind."You can feel it too..." I turned to him and said. "It's easy to fi

TristanAs regards the information we got from Tanya and her friends, the rogues who caused all the trouble for me were still very much in my pack and I had to plan discreetly before taking them out. I gathered my men in the meeting area outside my office space and after having a brief one with them, I turned to the rest of my men.“As you all know, we have found a way to tune down the phenomenon that has threatened our peace over the last few days and we have our Luna to thank for that. But that is not all, I have some interesting news to share.” I could see the cheerfulness on their faces but that was until I spoke again. “An interesting news that is a bit disturbing thus, we need to handle it immediately. The rogues are in our pack. They have been running their affairs secretly from the Old Nights Villa.” The announcement came to them as a shock, it was evident from the way they exchanged questionable glances at each other. The gazes were accompanied with murmuring. “Now I blame

Tanya's POVI woke up with a loud headache, looking around, all I could see was darkness. Only then did I remember that I had been captured by those strange men and my driver was killed."Help! Help!!" I cried out. I heard footsteps approaching and I shouted again. "Help!" The door opened revealing a tall figure, at least from where I sat, he was tall. The light shone through the door into the room. "Who are you and why did you bring me here? Where is this place?" I asked the man who walked in.The man said nothing and just stood there watching me. Moments later, I heard the sound of a phone tapping like he was about to call someone. "She is awake, I heard him say to whoever it was that he called. "I am coming there now." The other man said from the other end of the phone. I was consumed with fear at that moment, I covered my hands over my chest as though I was trying to stop my heart from escaping my body. The small hairs across my body stood on end as tingle rushed across my s

Orion’s POVWe waited at the house while my men went into the pack as usual to spread out the substance. It was past the time they usually returned and that was when anxiety set in. I stood outside the balcony pacing and looking out for them. I heard footsteps approaching and I immediately hid behind the pillar, I took out my knife and waited for whoever it was to come. I peeped through to see who it was as he approached. It was one of my men, he was injured badly. Even without asking, I knew something wasn’t right.“What happened? Where are the rest of your men? I impatiently asked. He didn’t say anything and just fell to the ground. Taking a closer look at him, I saw that he was beaten on the neck. “I’m asking you a damn question.” I yelled at him as I was running out of patience. “They were killed and they took the rest of them. We have a problem. The substance is no longer working and from what we gathered, the Alpha’s mate concocted an antidote and all the pack members took i

Tristan’s POVDarkness spread all over the place and the time had also gone too. I entered the room to meet her curled up in a duvet. She was already asleep. She had been working all through the day and she needed sleep. I walked over and sat on the bed beside her. I gently pushed away the strands of hair that covered her face. She batted her eyes and slowly opened them then smiled sweetly. "Hey!" She greeted me."Hey Princess." I responded. She gently sat up with her back leaning to the bed frame. "I'm sorry I slept off, I was too tired. How did it go?" She asked with her sleep filled eyes and voice. "It's okay, I need you to sleep too, you had a long day...and, it went well, we were able to distribute the substance to the people. Thank you Tanya, this is by far the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me." I was really grateful. "We were made for each other, so whatever pain you feel, I feel it too, your people are mine and I will be here to help in any and every way I can."
His Human Mate Chapter 69
Tristan's POV Gathering the people wasn't going to be an easy task but I was going to get it done regardless. As we drove further into the pack, I brought my phone out and placed a call to Tarrell. "Get the men ready and hurry to the houses closer to the borders, assemble all of them at the old pack house. Let every living soul Shadowclaw pack be there, young and old, male and female. Do it now!" I ordered. I ended the call and sat back in the seat. I couldn't lie, my body was shaking. The emotions that engulfed me at that point were intense in every level, relief and fear spread through my insides too."We will stop by the house, Princess, you won't be joining us. It's too risky for you and the..." I halted immediately. She didn't know it yet and that wasn't the best time to break such news to her. Immediately she looked at me with confused eyes, she knew I wanted to say something but I decided not to. "Is everything okay Tristan?" She quietly asked. In order not to lie to her
His Human Mate Chapter 68
Tanya’s POVI entered his office and there he was sitting in his chair with his back to the door, anybody who saw him that way would know he had so much on his mind. I had to talk to my friends, we had a curing chemical, and we needed to bring it out immediately. I walked over to him and stood right in his face, he sighed heavily immediately he saw. His eyes were puffed and swollen, he had obviously cried so much. I thought about so many things to do to make him but nothing was coming to mind. I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips. It made him soften up a little. “Take him to the fountain, he will feel better.” The voice in me said and I was going to do just that. “Come with me.” I held his hand and he obediently stood and followed after me. I gestured at one of the guards to get into the car and drive. He sat there quietly all through the drive but his hand held onto mine so tight while I gently rubbed it.The guard followed my instruction and after a few minutes of d

Tarrell’’s POVThe night was old, the moon hung low in the sky and basked in its full glory. The pack was quiet, everybody had gone to bed too. I was about to go to bed too when I heard loud growling of the wolves, there was trouble and we had to rush to see what it was immediately. As I rushed out, Tristan was already rushing out.“What was that?” I asked.“I think they are trouble. Alert the men, we are heading out into the city now.” He ordered and I began to mind link the guards. We didn’t waste any time, we shifted immediately and allowed our wolves to take control and immediately they did, we ran into the woods heading towards the direction we felt the wolves’ scent coming from.We got there and saw dead bodies on the ground. Their eyes, nose, ears and mouth were all covered with blood. They were killed by the chemical. One of them was still breathing, Tristan rushed to her. “What happened?” He anxiously and furiously asked.“We…were partying…and suddenly, everybody became di

Tanya’s POVAfter a heated bath, we dressed up and headed out together. Adeline had already set the table for breakfast. She stood by waiting for us while Tarrell had already begun eating. There were four other men standing by the door, they were in all black and looked rather scary. “Good Morning Adeline…Morning Tarrell.” I cheerfully greeted them. “Morning Luna, how was your sleep?” Adeline asked. The look she gave me was rather odd, her eyes made me feel there was more to it but I waved it off, maybe she was just worried about me passing out last night.“It was fine Adeline, thank you for taking care of me last night, Tristan told me.” “It’s nothing my dear.” She humbly said.“Hi Tarrell.” I greeted again when I didn’t hear his response.“Hi Luna… How was your night and most especially your morning?” Tarrell teasingly asked, he definitely had his ears in our room. My face blushed pink with embarrassment.“And what is that supposed to mean?” Tristan looked at him and asked.“Oh!
