My eyes opened to the familiar ceilings of my old room. My old room? This was Jeff’s Pack House! I jolted awake, sitting up restlessly but then I felt a spark from someone holding my left palm tightly but in a gentle manner. “Alpha Hansel,” I whispered, staring into those gray eyes full of so much emotion. “You’re finally awake,” he mumbled with a light sigh following suit, while I stared at my palm that was in between his. “What happened?” I asked, trying to recall how I got here. He cleared his throat. “You fell,” he started and immediately, I recalled how I fell through that thorny hole that clawed me deep as I slid to the ground. And then there was the moonstone and Alpha Hansel yelling my name. “The moonstone!” I exclaimed weakly. “I couldn’t get it.” He wriggled his head and guilt haunt me. “You were dying, Elle. I had to choose one.” He paused.“How—“ my voice trailed off. “How did you do it? It’s not possible to save someone in that forest,”He hesitated for a while and
“Alpha Hansel!” Jeff called as he rushed to approach me beside my car. “I almost forgot to give you this,” he said with a smile as he handed me a small brown wooden parcel. As I opened it, my eyes exclaimed in awe. “The moonstone,” I mumbled in oblivion while I glanced at Elle who was at the other side. She was just as surprised too but she chose to say nothing regardless. “Why are you giving me this?” “After you told me about what you were looking for in Moonfrost forest, I realized I had one. I got it long ago from a shop mainly because of its aesthetics but looking at it now, you seem to have a more important use for it. So why not,” he explained. “Jeff, this is too precious. I can’t take it.” I tried handing it back to him but he refused vehemently. “I want you to have it, Alpha Hansel.” “Obviously you’re not giving this out just for free, what’s the catch?” “Let‘a just say I want you to owe me a favour. Maybe one day, I’ll need your help.” I heaved a ligh sigh. Although I
“You belong to Christine, and I don’t want to be the one to ruin your relationship.” My teeth gritted as those words replayed over and over till I punched my mirror. It cracked but the pain in my chest only worsened. For the first time in my life, I was rejected by a woman but I couldn’t understand why it hurt my wolf and I this much. She was right though but then it got me thinking. Did I really belong to Christine? Whenever I was with Elle, I felt complete but Chris was just all lust. I exhaled deeply and then packed my hair into a messy bun while my door opened for Simon. He paused in amusement as he noticed my mirror and then he sat on the couch at the corner of my room, eating his chips like it was nothing. “Someone woke up with a beautiful mood today,” he remarked, I hissed. “Wanna talk about it?” “No.” I grunted. “Care for some chips?” He offered and I glared. “Hey you don't have to transfer your aggression to my innocent babies,” he teased and I sighed again. “Gosh I f
As I sauntered into the shop, the same one Elle had taken me too days back, everyone diverted their attention to me. The smell of tension and fear easily reeked off them and that was exactly what I wanted. I still vividly recall incidents that happened the last time I came here like it was yesterday. And I still wanted to punish them more but maybe tonight, they could make up for their actions. “Well well well, to what do we owe the presence of the great Alpha Hansel,” Eve muttered as I reached the counter and I scoffed. “Certainly, you’re not here to take revenge over the last incident right?” “I might, depending on if you satisfy me or not.” I retorted and she donned a sinister smile. “If we fail to satisfy you?” “Then you and everyone present here should consider this the last breaths you all will take here.” I smiled back in the same manner and immediately, some of the customers dashed out of the building. “You’re alone, Alpha Hansel, my shop is not that easy to be bullied.”
"It's official, I hate this party." I whispered as the twin doors opened, revealing the beautiful ball room filled with men dressed in tuxedos and their ladies in dazzling evening gowns, sadness filled me to the core.Simon hit me gently by my side but it was more like a warning."It's your friend's wedding, the least you can do is wear a smile, Hansel." He chorused quietly, wearing a bright smile like he was seeing fireworks for the first time. "Eyes are on you, you know." He said as we both ushered ourselves in. The orchestra toned down their classic music as if they were acknowledging my presence. Others stared at us, some of them had even begun gossiping. But most of them had one look in common, fear."Isn't that the Alpha of White Rose Pack?" A lady hushed her friend as we walked past them to the center of the room where a couple was."Oh my gosh, it's Alpha Hansel, he really came!" Another whispered."He isn't going to steer trouble here, is he?""But then, he's dangerously hotte
"Do you want to dance?" Hansel asked as he extended his palm towards me with a gentle smile."W-what?" I stuttered while my heart pounded in fear. He curled his arm around my waist and I shuddered. Apart from the fact that I wasn't really comfortable with him, there were so many boring holes in us. Especially the ladies, who wouldn't be angry that I stole the golden boy?"I-i can't dance!"He scoffed and then pulled me closer so our breaths could faintly collide."What type of Witch doesn't know how to dance?""Just because I'm a Witch doesn't mean that I know how to do everything." I lamented."I wonder what else you're bad at." He scorned and I gulped down my saliva hoping my rising anxiety would be allayed but it only got worse. "Just follow my steps,." He placed my hands on his shoulder and then he curled his arms around my waist. I felt my skin crawl with tidal excitement unlike any before. I didn't know why but there was something about him I was attracted to. Something I couldn'
"Welcome to White Rose Pack Elle." Alpha Hansel toned beside me with so much delight as the limo drove through the boundaries of the Pack. I looked out through the window and I would be lying if I said I wasn't stunned. The trees were tall and beautiful, filled with the tweeting of birds. The roads were tarred and the houses and buildings were elegantly built with the people going about their daily business. In all my life, this was the biggest and most beautiful Pack I've ever been to.I glanced at him but he was busy with his phone like he wasn't expecting me to be stunned. Or maybe he just didn't care about what I thought."It's beautiful," I remarked silently but it was more than enough for him to hear."I know." He replied nonchalantly without a glance. I kept smiling at my window until we arrived at the Pack House. Two guards came to approach our vehicle. One on the left and the other, to my side. They opened our respective doors courteously and as I stepped out, my jaw dropped.
As I strapped my white towel around my waist, my room door opened and I glared in that direction ready to yell at whoever it was that came in without my permission."Christine," my frown vanished as a smile spread on my lips. She is the head of tourism management in my Pack but we were more. "You could have knocked. What if I was naked?"She smirked while she gently closed the door."Do I need permission to see my Alpha," she toned sensually as she approached me. "Besides, I've seen that little man down there so many times." She slowly ran her right index finger across the middle of my sturdy chest and my pulse began rising. Her blonde hair was packed in a messy bun revealing more of that dazzling beauty. Her blue eyes gleamed of one thing, lust and passion and I loved it. Even if I wanted to hold back, her shirt did enough justice revealing her cleavage. I gulped down my saliva, trying to tone down the imaginations running wild in my head."Don't play with me tonight, Chris." I gently
