“Where the hell you have been?” I asked as soon as August let go of Diana. August was still holding her hand but there was a distance between them now so I could talk. August was busy glaring all other alphas who were eyeing Diana.
“I was out to meet some of my people.” She said finally, her voice was a bit strange from the normal tone of her, she said after thinking for a minute. she was not telling me the whole truth. Again. Her eyes were travelling from one alpha to another, looking at them suspiciously, trying to know something.
Diana’s eyes finally met with Reed and I saw them sharing conversations with their eyes. Reed sighed finally.
“All of you, please calm down. She is Diana, she is a witch but left her coven as soon as she got the chance to run. She was living with me since then. I know her, she is an ally.” Reed said, making himself clear.
As if in cue, Derek and Diaz sit on his command, I was surpri

“Just where are you going kitten?” his voice rings inside my head like the bells of heaven. I stopped dead on my tracks. He had so much effect on my body sometimes I hated it. My wolf was peeking through her paws, waiting eagerly for her mate’s next move, for his next command. I didn’t turn, neither he make a move. My body was eager for his touch. All the people soon left the meeting room leaving only me and yes, the devil himself. I bit my lip waiting for him to say something. Or better to do something. After we mated, it is something kind of impossible for me to let my hands off from him and I bet it is impossible for him too. My body craved his touch, my soul yearned for him. He slowly and steadily walked towards me and passed me not before touching my side briefly. The sparks erupted and I doubted if they were the sparks of our mate bond or the desire from both of our hearts. He closed the doo
Reed’s pov (22 years back) “No, you cheated.” I giggled as Jean surpassed me at the last moment in the run and reached the lake before me. I put my hands on my knees trying to even my laboured breaths. She ran fast. Faster than me, no matter how much I tried to run faster than her, she always wins. “I didn’t cheat you did. You take on the lead before we even started.” She said and sit beside the lake. The wind was kissing her face, her hairs were dancing in the air. her white skin was flawlessly taking in the light. She was beautiful but not more than my mama. I sit beside her. “Jean, one day I will defeat you in every game you taught me.” I said full of myself. Something flickers through her eyes, the same expression I saw every time in my mama’s eyes when I told her I am not a child now. I turned to look and the sun was already setting down, soon it will be the time of dusk. I
Esma’s pov Present time… “Then?” I asked when he finally stopped talking. We returned to his room. I was sure August needed the privacy with Diana after the little incident. He was more concerned for her safety than for me. I don’t blame him for that. She is his mate. Also, I didn’t want to leave Reed especially when after so much efforts he was finally talking to me. the thick shell he surround himself in was finally cracking. He was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the sidelamp busy in his own mind. I didn’t want to push him, everything he told since now was impossible to believe if I haven’t seen most of it in the visions already. I have seen the pain; I have seen his sufferings. I have seen his powers and his vengeance. “I confronted Jean. Her name was Moona, she was the moon goddess, can you believe my luck? then I tried to meet Alpha Andrew and when I saw his face, there I feel it, there was so
Reed’s pov “Why are you here? I don’t need a counsellor.” I sighed deeply, getting annoyed for not having some personal time alone for myself. I don’t want to talk to anyone. “I know you don’t.” Diana stopped and sit right next to me on the ground. I look at her from the corner of the eye. None of us said anything. the silence was deafening. But… somehow, I liked it. with Diana I couldn’t care less about being judged. She had already seen me at my worst. But with Esma, I can’t tell. I feel her getting intimidated, scared even terrified through the mate bond. on the top of that, I can’t deal with the pity she had in her eyes. “Where’s your mate?” I asked finally when I was sure she won’t talk first. Diana is complete opposite from what she looked. She looked simple and sweet but she had shades. maybe this was the only thing we had in common. Maybe that’s why we can understand each other so better. She is like a sister I never ha
Esma’s pov “Hello?” I hollered in the darkness. “Is anyone there?” I called out again but didn’t get the answer either this time. I don’t know where I was standing. Hell, I don’t even know how I came here at the first place. It was darkness everywhere. I looked around for something. Anything. As if in cue, a light dimmed yet bright enough to catch my attention come from the farther most corner. I walked in the same direction, stumbling and tripping, I finally reached the light. I felt rejoiced as I made a move to touched the light but it vanished in front of me like a mist. I groaned as I was again left in darkness. “This is what you get when you’ll make a decision to be with him.” I finally heard a strange voice which didn’t belong to my head. I tried to comprehend, trying to locate the source but to no avail. I felt like my legs were frozen at their spot. I heard the same voice again but this
Thank God I packed extra clothes in case our meeting extended. I quickly picked out a white dress shirt and denim jeans. My last dress was already ruined when Reed took me in the woods. I bit my lip as the flashes of us fucking across the lake passed in front of my eyes. I don’t want this shirt to get messy. It is one of my favourites. I already changed two dresses for a day. I quickly get undressed and wore the shirt and the jeans before facing in the mirror. Oh, my hairs look like an angry bird’s nest. I was like this in front of him? I shake my head; this is no time for embarrassment. I braided my hairs in no time before sprinting downstairs. I was excited like a teenage girl who was first time going with his boyfriend on a date. Although, I already gone on a date with Reed before. I stopped abruptly at the final stair when I neither find the car nor him. I looked around and in mere seconds Reed swiftly drove the car in front of me and opened the door. I smiled and get myself i
Light fills the room, coaxing me from deep sleep to wakefulness. I stretch out and open my eyes before walking near to look through the window. It’s a beautiful morning, the sun was peeking up through the clouds. It was indeed a view. The bed was empty much to my dismay. Reed was already long gone, his scent was fading, he didn’t wake me before leaving. The thought make me sad for a minute. Yesterday was so much fun. We talked and talked till the manager of the restaurant himself came to tell us that it was too late and he had to shut the bar. I came to know so much about him. His favourite things, how he despised coffee, which I would like to change his opinion on. How he love to read, his love for literature, which I can already guess from the giant library he had back in the castle. He had a huge collections of charlotte Brontë, Virginia wolf and of course Jane Austin. Alpha Reed Xander is a mercurial man but with astonishing talents. Still one thin
“Emmy?” I heard him calling me again. I shut the book hurriedly. fuck if he saw the book, he won’t sit without getting a perfect excuse from me to have this book. he is much more stubborn than me when it comes to find something he suspects fishy. “I know you are inside. I can feel your presence duh.” He said lamely getting bored from the other side of the door. I put the book back in the bag and slide it under the bed back to its position. I sighed and open the door to find him standing in front of me, checking the bag, the delivery guy left on my door, drinking from my coffee. my breakfast! “Why were you taking so time to open the door?” he asked entering in the room, not bothering to look in my direction. He sit on the bed and empty the bag slowly, putting all the items out. I snatched my cup from his hand. “That’s mine and this too. Order your own food.” I gro
Esma’s pov“Do you happen to recognize it? hohoho, you have pretty sharp eyes for a warrior.” He said.He looked at us, eyeing our reactions, he doesn’t know our identities yet.“Well, but it doesn’t mean that we won’t sell information so there’s no need to be disappointed.” I raised my eyebrows.“if you promise me that you have no ulterior motives in trying to figure out the location of the head of the enlightened one and pay for that information, I will tell you.” he said And smiled evilly.As if proving his words right we heard many footsteps outside the room.“We are surrounded, judging from their sounds, there seems to be thirty of them.” August said. Mr. M walked towards Dumeny.“Dumeny Ross. I heard you returned recently to the lawless city of slab. You were the hired assassin worked as a lone wolf (It’s a metaphor for someone who works alone). I heard you left your past life behind and joined your family business.”“And…” the guy named Mr. M walked towards me and August.“I am
Esma’s pov There are seven continents in the world. separated by sea, ocean and mountains. Among them, there are countless factions and small packs.However, there are four heavenly packs who guides and governs them and are literally called themselves the powerhouses.The blue moon pack governed by us in the south. My father and his ancestors were the one who settled themselves hundreds of years ago and established themselves as one of the powerhouses.Then there’s Black claw pack in the north, the most ancient and the most powerful pack, rich in diversity and resources from the very start.To the west, the unorthodox faction of Rogues which are not governed by the laws of the packs and are referred as barbarians. They long lost their sanity and ability to change themselves back to humans.And lastly, there is the Mountain keepers in the east. It is the pack of Dumeny.The world of werewolves have been divided among these four great forces for hundreds of years and the border are
Esma’s povMe and August soon leave the house. we have been working nonstop since we have come together to maintain the stability within our pack. if it was not for the alpha blood and both of us the wolves in our pack would have gone rogue.It was pure luck that we both were present in the pack at the same time, if not, I couldn’t dare to think what would happen to my people.I mind linked Asher when I was done with organising my pack. Asher appeared before me in no time.“You called?” he said no beating around the bush with him.I sighed and told him everything we discussed with Dumeny.He listened to everything in silence.“I have heard about this city. If Diana is there, it won’t be easy to get her out.” he said and I hummed. I already know about it. To rescue a witch from the city of the witch hunters.“We will think of something.” I said although I was assuring myself.“What are your orders for me?” he said. “I will follow to hell although we just came back from there.” he said a
Esma’s pov“You are certain they will be there.” I nodded and look him into the eyes.“Then, let’s get those bastards for what they have to done to us.” Dumeny growled.I clutched August’s hand in mine as I said yes too.“I have a plan.” Dumeny said in the end.“What kind of plan?” I asked looking at his face. now that I notice him, he have grown a quite in the few days since I saw him. his eyes, they were no longer belong to a carefree man whom I once used to know.They have a serious sense of duty and responsibility. Plus, I don’t know I have a ere feeling coming from his side, I don’t know how to put it in words, but he has changed a lot.In terms of power, he was already in par with an alpha. He might be powerful than his father.I rarely find myself getting out unscathed if fought against him. he has grown rapidly since last time I saw him.“We have to attack them simultaneously. Just like they did. We have to make them think and divert their attention on someone or something and
Esma’s pov“Hey Dumeny. Long time no see.” I said as I saw him standing in the middle of the hall in my house.Last time I saw him, it was the alpha’s meeting and after that I was kidnapped by Ravenna and the witches.I never heard from him after that. Hell, I didn’t saw him after that.“Same for me.” he said and out of sudden he rushed towards me and pulled me in his arms.“I am sorry you have to go through this all by your own.” he said and hugged me tightly. I can tell he was genuinely concerned for me and I hugged him back. I really missed a friend.We ended the hug and he sit in the other side of the table.August soon returns with the beer cans and I rolled my eyes.My brother knows me best. He reads my mind. He passed me the can which I took happily. He sat beside me and we just enjoyed our beers for a while.“Look Emmy. I know this is not the right time for me to ask, but you can please tell me about the day you were kidnapped?” Dumeny breaks the silence and I looked at August
Reed’s povI just stand there as Andrew was in hurry to look after Ravenna. I have never seen this man caring about anyone except for his mate and of course his children. But I was also his son. the son whom he sent assassins to take care of.The son who lost his mother, and for what reason? Because his mate come to know about the existence of his affair?“Call the doctor, will you?” he shouted at me and I sighed.“We are in the abandoned land of mine, in the middle of nowhere, the city is three hours from here and I have already called for the doctor. But he won’t be here before the morning.” I said and he just look disdain.The weather is fucked up and all the roads are closed. How much one could try, the doctor would only come by morning.“That fucking bastard. I swear I will kill him with my own hands.” he cursed out aloud and suddenly my chest hurts.This man right here, was concern for someone totally stranger to him, he was concerned for the witch and was cursing out a god? Th
Reed’s povI stared at the moon. I was the wolf who was chasing the moon. I was nothing but a shadow casted by the moon. A shadow only able to come in presence of the source of light.To me the moon has always been the light I was chasing.“Lost in thoughts?” I didn’t want to look back to know whose voice it was. I clenched my jaw tightly as I keep on staring in front of me.Andrew walked inside the room and I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. my whole body tensed up. My heart started to beat faster. Out of fear? Out of surprise? Out of idea of fighting?I don’t know the reason. Maybe all three of them. Never in my life I have ever been able to win against Andrew, my father. Yes, I killed him. I killed him with my own hands and if granted the same opportunity twice, I will not waste a single breath before killing him again.I know he hates me. I hate him too.Suddenly, the sound of the chafing of his shoes stopped and I sighed and finally turned back to look at him.The face of
Esma’s povRavenna’s words kept ringing in my head like an old stuck cassette.“Because you still have some unfinished business.”I didn’t believe what I just saw. I mean I know Ravenna was up to something. I know she was powerful. She was crazy enough to fight us but I never thought for a second, she could bring someone dead back alive and that to Reed’s father. Seriously? Reed’s father for suck’s sake? He was the royalty.He was the direct descendant of the king Lycan. He was supposed to be dead. he was killed by Reed. And the witches. He was known as the most powerful alpha of his pack around the world. he was the epitome of power and royalty. And he was bought back to life by sacrificing witch’s bodies.No wonder we didn’t find a trace of them. they were killed by our Pack but to offer their bodies as a sacrifice in order to bring back Andrew? What Ravenna was thinking?And where is Reed fits into all that. why kidnapped him? I finally looked in front of me and found Damien sitting
Esma’s pov“Child of the moon. You have faced countless hurdles across your way but you didn’t waver.” “You have a soul of a warrior and an unwavering spirit. You will the key to open his heart, his darkness.”“I surely Hope, because hope is what makes us more human. You have my blessing Esma Rockwood.” I gasped and opened my eyes.“What was that?” I was sure it was the voice of Amara. I could still hear her voice in the back of my head. or was I just hallucinating. It was a dream.I was in the complete darkness, there was nothing but dark and then there was that voice peering through the darkness. making its way.Hope. Isn’t it a strange word.The dawn breaks out as I yawned and looked out the window in front of my room. Asher was still fast asleep; I could hear his heartbeat across the door. Asher was given the next room beside me.He must be tired as hell. I was tired too but whenever I closed my eyes, the silver-grey eyes of Amara popped up in front of me. Her eyes drawing me, pe
