2022-04-01 22:48:15Something was stirring within me, struggling to get free; or at least trying to get something across. But the niggling feeling, that wasn't entirely bad, was overridden by my fear.
I stopped and waved the lantern in front of me wildly, saying, "Whoever the creep you are, show yourself!" I thought about my phone that was back in my large room, charging, and thought myself more the fool for leaving the pack-house without it.
I felt a presence approaching me.
Dark.
A presence so dark I felt my wolven instincts flare alive for the first time. /Mate/ my wolf said for the... First time. Amidst my fear for whoever or whatever was approaching, I felt a joy so profound fill me that I started to cry.
When I heard a twig snap, I became alert, putting my emotions in check. Whipping my head around, I saw nothing but the tall sh

After I'd finished showering, I emerged from the bathroom, a load of hot steam escaping into the room.I went in search of what to wear for breakfast, the young omega steadfastly at my heels. She began pelting me with rapid questions."How did you do that? I had no idea some werewolves had telekinetic abilities. Why had the Alpha been chasing after you? Are you a hybrid? Half fey? You know, I think you might be because you're really pretty. Do you kn..."My patience, all the while, had been stretching quite admirably to contain my annoyance. I tuned out her voice as I selected a pair of jeans and a beige blouse.When I proceeded to wear them, she suddenly fell silent. "You can't wear that, Miss.""Why?""For one, Greta would have my head. And two, everyone would be dressed to the nines. It's the Carnival of Lanterns!"My pati

Late evening soon rolled in and Nayla led me to the venue of the Lighting.I didn't know how to feel about seeing Vaughan again.Oh, I did. And not wanting to see him anymore than I did a syringe of wolfsbane translated to it.Colourful birds chirped above me, and the heady scent of flowers in the east gardens seeped into my nose.I noticed a portion of the garden were missing most of their flowers. Frowning, I asked, "Why are their flowers missing?"Nayla looked at the direction I was staring at. "Oh. That's because the Alpha always has flowers sent to newly weds, and their newborn pups."I digested that. My fingers trailing over a bed of white roses, I asked a question that'd been unknowingly festering in my subconscious. In spite of myself, soon after I asked it, I instantly became consumed by it, wanting to know..."Nayla, what is Vaughan like?"Under her breath she murmured, "I see you both are on first name basis, somethi

He drew level with me, then began that unnerving circling, his hands folded at his back."I spoke with your father this afternoon," he told me. I already did not like where this was going. "Told him I'd found my mate in his daughter," he continued. "He was amenable, ecstatic even, to the news. And there lies the problem."He came to a stop before me. I watched him, waiting."I am cursed," he stated the obvious, "and my reputation precedes me. Any father who truly loves his daughter wouldn't give her up to me."My heart clenched at the implication of his words; I lowered my gaze.My eyes widened when he touched my chin, lifting up my face. His whiskey grey eyes sucked me in, and his deceptively gentle voice lulled me into hypnosis. "You belong here with me. I could give you a home. Be mine a--"I tore my face away from his hold. "No," I said resolutely. "I can't be your mate." For so many reasons."Your disagreement on the matter would

I stared in horror as mortals rode tanks and other gigantic machineries through the now destroyed gate. Hunters in plain black uniforms wielded what looked to be advanced model guns. I spied one cocking his riffle, and soon a loud whirring sound filled the air; and then a broad bullet exploded out of its lengthy barrel, blowing up the entire left wing of a building.Screams and roars instantly broke out. Werewolves shifted into their beasts, slashing deadly claws through bodies of Hunters; heads rolled and flesh gave way to bone and still beating hearts.While father's men began fighting their way through the chaos, leading women and children to safety, Alpha Vaughan's men started to steer me into the pack-house and out through the back of it. I madly fought against them, struggling to get to a shocked Eunice who stood rock-still in the middle of the whole thing.A shadow passed above us. And slowly, I looked up in dread. That was when I saw them, and for the fi

Beautiful. Elegant. Splendid. Those words could hardly describe the room to full effect. Glittering down impossibly high ceilings were giant chandeliers casting light on wooden planes and gilded steelworks. The wide room splitted into many divisions--a bar being one of them! A red antique rug covered the wide floors, and on it, collections of upholstered furniture and glass figurines were dispersed liberally.The bed in this room was even bigger than the one in my last room, and that was saying something.The omega bowed and said, "I'll have some food brought up to you, Ma'am Hilda."Tearing my gaze away from a large plasma screen TV, I faced her. "The former omega that'd been assigned to me during the Festival, will she be replaced?"The lady nodded. "Yes, O--""No," I said cutting her off. "I want her--Nayla--as my personal omega." I couldn't loose two friends in one day.Her eyes widened a bit. "But, Miss, you'll need

"We're here." A nervous whisper.I couldn't hear anything from behind the doors, which made me assume they were soundproof.We stood on regal red carpets that had its sides lined with gold thread. A single chandelier hung down, lighting the narrow hall.Nayla bowed before me, and with a quiet 'Goodluck' she was gone.Facing the doors, I dragged in a deep breath. And knowing I may, or may not, regret my next action, I shoved open the door.Stunned gazes instantly reverted towards me. A wide hall filled with wide-eyed Nobles greeted me. They were all frozen in various acts of speaking and movement, one's mouth hung ajar, while another paused in gesturing at the large map on the table.Walking deeper into the white-themed hall, I said offhandedly, "Oh, don't stop on my account, continue with the meeting."At the head of the tabl

I didn't hear a sound, but yet I snapped into consciousness.I was not alone.Blinking past the last traces of sleep clouding my vision, I searched around the room, feeling the hairs on my nape rise. Turning right, I froze when I caught sight of whiskey grey eyes staring at me from the darkness.At length his silky voice commanded, "Come here."My ears twitched when I caught the note of barely leashed anger lacing his words.Gently pushing the duvet away from my body, I stood.Feeling his intense stare on me, I slowly went over to him, glaringly aware of the thin nightwear I had on. The attack on my old pack had made it impossible for me to retrieve my belongings; so I was stuck with the clothes they had here; and boy were

The wide outdoor patio was awash with clean breeze and vibrant greenery. The skies were clear, the weather mild. At a secluded corner, a pianist played the piano, producing soft, relaxing tunes.My court were all on their feet, waiting. As I strode down the concrete, some turned and looked at me expectantly, some puzzlingly, while others, with thinly concealed malice.Taking my seat at the head of the table, Nayla came to stand beside me. An action every Noble's personal omega immediately mirrored, taking their positions beside their mistresses; I couldn't help noting they were all older than Nayla."Good morning," I began, then waited for the file of omegas that had just entered to finish setting the table. A cup of steaming hot tea before me, I continued, introducing myself, "Hello, everyone, I'm Hilda Miller from the Stillmoon pack."A tall, blonde-haired Noble with a dainty air about her looked me up from over the rim of her cup, her eyes

[Dedicated to Hermes and KLH♥] __ (seven years later...) Vaughan made to approach me, but was intercepted by a bunch of running, squealing werewolf children, causing him to loose his balance a bit. He precariously steadied himself, hands clutching at the tiny legs around his shoulders. I giggled openly, which led to him shooting me a glare, and then a heated look that promised some punishment tonight. I reacted instantly, breaths slowing. The little hand in mine tightened, making me glance down. My five year old son, Zach, looked up at me, saying, "Mum, I wanna go play with them." He pointed ahead. Looking up, my gaze landed on a group of male werewolves around his age running around the wide lawn. Grownups wove their way around the excited mass, carrying with them heavy bags containing party stuffs. The jamboree organized by my residential firm was in full swing, and everyone was having the time of their lives. Every homeless werewolf under my care. My heart swole. They'll neve

The heady smell of flowers filled my nose as I came to.On blinking open my eyes, I realized I was in a bright garden straight out of a fairytale. Vibrant green surrounded me and the melodious chirps of birds filled my ears.The garden seemed to exude a peaceful mien, and serenity slipped into me, calming my nerves tremendously.Standing, I looked around, walking along the path filled with vines and scrambling badgers. "Hello?"Where was I? I wondered internally as I walked on. My head whipped around at sound of leaves rustling.A woman who could've easily been the most beautiful in the planet approached me.As she drew nearer, I realized in surprise that her features alternated between several others. One second her eyes were green, the next moment they were a striking amber. One second her hair was midnight black, and the next they were gleaming blonde. But in all, her face maintained one look, if that even made sense."Who are you?" I breathed out.Her voice seemed to fill every por

Breaking out of the forest, I ran into a hunter. When he rose his pistol to strike me, I grabbed his hand and twisted, flipping him over. Still holding onto him, I kneed his face multiple times until I felt his hand go slack in mine.Breaths heaving, I continued on, tearing another hunter away from a bleeding werewolf and punching her with the heel of my palm. She staggered backwards and when she regained her footing, she feinted right and threw a punch at me, catching me off guardIt landed square on my face, knocking me down on my butt. She drew her arm back again, but I caught it in my grip, headbutting her so she staggered away, falling.When yet another hunter came at me, I focused my gaze on him, twisting his arm backwards until I heard a snap and he toppled down, landing on the werewolf the female hunter had been attacking.The werewolf shifted into its human form now and I saw it

Before we arrived at the huge clearing the next day, trackers were sent to the venue to scope it out and ensure there were no traces of Vladimir's men or pitfalls.The air bit into my tight skin, making chills that weren't entirely from the cold slide down my spine. I sucked in a breath, looking around me. We were all set.At one section of our large, formidable assembly were werewolves that had shifted into their beasts. Protective armors were strapped around their intimidating forms, and so were the ones of the werewolves that had yet to shift. I flexed my gauntlet, feeling the leather abrade my hands.Vaughan had stationed numerous werewolves around me, so much so that I couldn't look straight ahead without rising on my toes. A low murmur rose in the crowd and I rose on my toes now to see what had incited it.The fey had arrived. They seemed to step out of an invisible portal, until there was a whole army of them.Their pristine blue robes were

Some Elders, along with a bunch of werewolf enforcers, were sent out to the fey dimension, and before evening we received word back. They were going to honour the pact.The rest of the day was spent training rigorously, and welcoming Alphas from different packs along with their warriors.The evening sun glistened on the bare backs and corded arms of the training warriors. Vaughan stood before them, shirtless. His muscles flexed deliciously as he practiced, sweat sliding down his toned abs--"Focus, Hilda," the Seer said for the umpteenth time.I snapped my attention back to her, smiling apologetically. Robyn sat a distance behind her, spooning some ice cream into her mouth. She winked at me understandingly. Fighting a blush, I focused on the matter at hand, lifting a particularly large boulder."Focus." The Seer's tone was calm. "Search within you for your strength and channel it, shape it, control it..."Taking in a deep breath, I outstretc

That afternoon, whatever potion Vladimir had given the warriors wore off, and they bustled around the frantic hall now, readying for battle.The atmosphere was charged with a fear so palpable it seemed to contaminate everyone.Even now, as I looked out the high windows of my room, I felt apprehension settle in my chest. It heightened when I replayed Vladimir's last words to me. Maybe the demons were part of his alliance.And asides that, he had made mention of his Link? I briefly wondered what exactly Ines's abilities were, the image of the warehouse collapsing clear in my mind. The Seer had said she'd play an important role in the war.Propping my elbows on the sill, I released a sigh, listening to Vaughan shrug into his clothes.Before heading out, he came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, placing a long kiss on his mark on my neck.

"Yes, it's me." Her voice sounded rushed, panicked. "Hil, there's something you need to know."I let out a shocked breath. "I thought you were dead!" Vaughan instantly threw me a glance, his gaze questioning.She exhaled impatiently. "Well, technically I am. But that's not the point!" She sucked in a breath. "Did you put Jim at the gates?"My brows furrowed in confusion. "What?""Jim. I asked if you put him at the gates. If you did, then you guys better head back to Beastclaw now!"I sat up straighter. "What? Why?""He's the one who told the vampires our pack's location in the first place. And if my guess is correct, he's gone to the Beastclaw pack to play spy for the vampires and let them in as well."Blood rushed out of my face. "Why would he do that?""It's a long story, but you've got to go back now! Don--oh no, he's coming.""He? Who i--"The line abruptly went dead. I stared down at my phone, a mixture of sh

As we neared the warehouse, the prickling sensation filled me once again, and I had a suspicion that if I followed my instincts it'll lead me straight to the Link.A suspicion I tested as we bursted into the warehouse, and into a coven of vampire lackeys in the process.Immediately, they attacked, their movements a bit slow due to the fact they were just newly turned.Vaughan changed into his wolf with a roar, throwing his weight into the herd, clawing out hearts and biting off heads--literally.Vampires approached me, their eyes glowing a frighting shade of red. I pointed my gun at them and shot blindly. Some went down, some just shrugged off the bullets, flying towards me with a dangerous speed.When claws dug into my shoulders, I let out a scream, my pistol clattering to the floor. Vaughan was at my side immediately, jumping the vampire until they both landed on the dusty ground, rolling roughly until their backs were coated in dust.In one lethal move, Vaughan dug his canines into

Feeling sore, the next day I awoke to see grey eyes fixed on my neck with an unnerving intensity.A knuckle slowly ran down the side of my face. "You're awake," he said softly.With a yawn, I said, "Yes, Sherlock." It was a mercy I'd even managed to sleep at all, what with Vaughan's insatiable appetite. An involuntary blush warmed my cheeks at all we'd been up to last night, and his sharp eyes drew on it like a magnet.His gaze lit with amusement and something darker. "A penny for your thoughts?" he asked."How about a treasure chest full of diamonds instead?" I asked, pushing off the bed."I could arrange that," he said, following along as I went into the shower.When I made to shut the door in his face, he stopped my actions with a foot. He rose a brow. "I like to save water around here."With a roll of my eyes and a reluctant curl of my lips, I opened the door wide, letting him in.Then we proceeded to shower together, but not before he backed me up against the wall and did wicked
