"Who are you boy" Alpha barked at him and he gasped and knelt, so did Evelyn. For a moment she wondered why she was also kneeling but it wasn't long for her to get the answer.
'Oh because I brought him home'
"I did dad, I saw him in the forest helpless so I decided to bring him home," Evelyn answered her brother Luke came in that instant. He gave Blake a disgusting look
"What's your name," he asked and his Alpha Aura that he inherited from his father propelled Blake to answer immediately.
"I am Blake, formally from blood moon pack" he answered stuttering.
"Are you a wolf?" he asked, it confused him since he can't sense anything from him.
"He is Latent," the Alpha answered. Alpha Eugene had never seen a latent in all his years, he even thought it was a legend and even now it was hard for him to believe the person standing in front of him is latent. Though he heard of the story about the latent son of the Blood Moon pack he never believed it.
"So you are the latent son of blood moon Alpha" Luke Smirked, just like his father he had also heard of the story.
"How did you know?" Asked the Luna.
"I heard it like a year ago, the Alpha banished his son because he is Latent. I thought it was just a rumor," he said and walked up to Blake. Blake is taller but he was so thin that his height meant nothing and he was the one being intimidated.
"Leave him be," said the Luna, stopping Luke from whatever he was about to do "as you can see the boy is harmless so he is going to be staying with us," she said and relieve flush over Evelyn, though her father is Alpha and rule the pack, Luna rules him.
"Angel but" He tried to argue
"No buts, Evelyn show him to his room," Evelyn took Blake with her, leaving her parents to argue.
"Don't worry, my mom is the king around here," she said reassuring Blake and he gave her a weak smile.
The Luna convinced her Husband, she didn't even try. She had that power over him. Evelyn was so happy at how things turned out. Evelyn went to sleep feeling fulfilled and proud of herself and Blake couldn't sleep at all that night. His lack of sleep was a result of his years wandering alone in the wilderness always on guard and being afraid of what would happen next. He was glad for the roof over his head and the soft bed his back was against and for the dinner he just had. But not even all these could make him feel safe and he knew so he didn't even try instead he decided to think about his day all over again. He remembered the beautiful face of Evelyn, it was her beauty that made him stuck and unable to leave like he used to. He first smelled her picked her smell and it was lime. Blake never thought anything about lime but all of a sudden he feels like it's the best scent in the world. Gradually, he felt his eyelid becoming heavy, and just like that he fell asleep with Evelyn's gentle smile the last thing he thought of.
"What are you doing?" Evelyn asked Blake. She woke and saw him scrubbing, everybody already left and Evelyn knew it for a fact, not because she sensed it but because nobody was around by this time
"I just want to be useful around here," he said and continued.
"Come on you are no servant,"
"I know, I am done almost," he said. She decided to leave him be and go to get breakfast for herself
"Have you eaten?"
"No" he answered and Evelyn decided to make for the both of them. After their breakfast, Evelyn frowned as she realized she had nothing to do, she had nobody to hang out with. It was the same as every other day and she thought she would've gotten used to it by now but she thought wrong.
"Why the long face," he asked. 'So he noticed' Evelyn thought.
"Nothing, just I have nothing to do, I am bored."
"Well, there are two of us here, so let's make the best of it," he said and Evelyn smiled. Blake felt it was only proper for him to make her smile after she had done so much for him and she looks good when she smiles.
"So, what do you propose we do," she asked but before he answered an idea struck Evelyn. "let's play hide and seek"
"I will always win," he said confidently and it wasn't misplaced.
"What makes you so sure,"
"I have a heightened sense." His words made Evelyn remember his unusual heightened sense.
"Prove it by finding me." She took off, as a wolf, she fast, very fast. He will have a hard time catching up since he is latent, Evelyn thought to herself. She ran to the bush, the one she found him, she then hid behind one tree. The tree hid her well and she doubted if he would find her quickly.
She kept waiting, she was nervous, she could feel her heart pounding but it wasn't because of fear. She wanted him to find her, she kept looking at the way she came and she felt was taking him too long.
"You miss me" She heard him say behind him, she smiled before turning to him
"What took you so long."
"You ran pretty fast, for a latent it was difficult to catch up." he said then looked around, "here is where you found me" he pointed in the direction.
"Yea" Evelyn felt his mood saddened so she took it upon herself to make him happy. She figured they only have themselves to play with and she hasn't had a playing partner in a long time.
"Can you swim?" She asked and he smiled.
"Like a fish" he answered and they both walked down to the stream behind the forest.
On getting there Evelyn removed her cloth leaving only her inner wears,
"Wow" she heard him say then she turned to him. He had his eyes on her, he already removed his cloth too, wearing only his inner-wear. He looked so thin, but Evelyn knew with time he would be so handsome she was even jealous of whoever his mate would be.
"Have you ever thought what your mate will be like?" She asked as they both moved deeper into the stream.
"Not really" he answered.
"Are you not excited to meet her?"
"Nop" That was Evelyn's first time hearing such because everybody always talked about meeting their mate with much enthusiasm.
"Really? I always dream of meeting my mate, strong, handsome, and romantic," she said dreamily and he laughed
"You will dear, you deserve the best."
"Why are you not excited to meet yours." she was genuinely curious
"You see dear, we live in a world where the weak get bullied, I happen to be the weakest. So, why would I be excited to meet someone that I can't even protect. I hear mate bond is the strongest and we will always protect each other, how can that be possible with me a Latent. I will be happy if I have no mate." he said and swam away, Evelyn stood on my spot. She understood what he meant, still it saddened her. It would be considered childish or even stupid if anyone could see how much the words affected Evelyn. They have only known each other for a day but she felt like it's been ages, she couldn't explain it but she felt she was cut out of the same material with Blake, and she wasn't the only one having such thought.
Evelyn kept spending time with Blake, he makes her day, though her father and Luke don't like him they didn't give him a hard time. He also helps at home then after every work they would go to the bush to spend time together."So Hen and egg which came first," he asked"Egg" Evelyn answered and he laughed, he was no longer thin but still not there yet. He is no longer afraid of not knowing what danger he would face and when he tried to think of his stay being temporary the beautiful smile of Evelyn makes him forget all his worries."It's hen" he answered. That's not possible cause its the egg that forms Hen, Evelyn thought"It is a lie" she barked"From creation, God didn't create egg but hen," he said and she couldn't deny that fact. He is right, she then pouted"I noticed, the girls are not on good terms with you." She no longer cared about them, she now has my Blake."Who cares, I have you" she answered and he smiled. Evelyn won't de
Blake thought of the first time he saw Evelyn. He watched her remove her cloth and never had he seen anyone that beautiful. He knew she really deserved the title jewel of the pack. Slowly she warmed up to his heart. He never loved the idea of a mate because he was not strong enough to protect his mate, but with her, he kept wishing she was his mate. He always sees the sparkles in her eyes when she saw him, the same sparkles that reflect his. He smiled as his mind kept thinking of Evelyn even when he was surrounded by Rogues. Though he didn't sense them on time, he sensed it long enough for Evelyn to leave because she was. They would have both been able to escape if he was fast but if he tried to escape with Evelyn he would only drag her down and they would both be caught. Since he didn't want to slow her down he made her leave for it was the only way to protect her."I kissed her and I will happily die if that's all I get in life." He touched his lips and the tingling sensati
Not long after, the pack members arrived and Alpha was furious when he saw Evelyn. Every male that was still unmated that believed Evelyn would be their mate was beyond furious. Blake explained everything to them and they all blamed him for it, but not as much as he blamed himself."Pray nothing happens to her" Luke barked at him. Nobody cared about Blake's injury and neither did he. He just needed her to be alive."I never knew what she saw in you." Someone said to Blake. Blake didn't know his name, he doesn't know most of their names, he can only remember the look of hatred in the eyes whenever they bullied him.When they got back to the pack everybody was surprised at the state of Evelyn, Blake was in worse condition but nobody cared. He had multiple broken ribs and his face was all mashed up and he could barely keep his eyes open. He was limping behind and no one cared to assist him and he didn't mind, he was accustomed to being alone and s
"Blake" Evelyn muttered as she slowly opened her eyes. She could feel the bandage around her face and she didn't need a mirror to know that the scar was still fresh."You are awake." She heard his brother's voice beside her so she turn to see him with a sad smile on his face. She tried smiling back but the bandage couldn't let her so she tilted her head and hoped her brother would understand the gesture."Oh, my baby you are awake." She heard her mother's voice before she appeared in front of her. She hated the tears on her mother's face and wish so desperately to wipe them off but she was still too weak to move any limp. Not long after her father, the Alpha came in and Evelyn couldn't believe that the strongest man she knew would one day appear this fragile. They all showed their concern and it warmed her heart to see such care from her family. She was surprised when her peers came to sympathize with her."Don't worry, you will soon return to your beautiful sel
After Blake left that night, he wandered aimless deeper into the forest. He went so deep believing nobody has ventured that deep. He planned to exclude myself from the rest of the world so this was a perfect place. He started hunting for food, which was easy since he learned the act a long time ago. But one-day things changed, that's when he met Madiba, his mentor who turned him into the best wolf."I have been watching taking care of yourself." Blake was stunned hearing the voice from the darkness."Who is there?" He held out his poorly made spear and pointed it towards the darkness. If not for the voice he wouldn't have noticed any presence. Blake used to take pride in his ability to sense people but having met the rogue made him realize he was just a frog in a well."I have been watching you over a week and have been thinking what to do to you." The words made Blake more astounded. It won't be easy to take in, hearing that you have a stranger watching y
8 years later It has been eight years since the incident, Evelyn was now the trash of the pack, she has fallen so low. The scar is now the biggest part of her personality. Evelyn is now 26 years old and has no mate, that's to say her mate didn't appear before her and that was her only chance of healing. They said if her mate is a strong Alpha she will be healed, but unfortunately for her, she had no mate. People started to say that maybe the scar scared the mate off. Her brother hardly looks at her, only her parents still have unconditional love. Funny even in all this mess, Evelyn missed Blake, she wants him every day, she wakes up every day hoping it would be the day she will see him. It saddened her to think he left because she was ugly. She still remembers telling Blake her feelings. "You should stop thinking about him." The Luna admonished her daughter. Evelyn just gave her a weak smile and didn't utter a word. The Alpha vowed to kill Blake if he ever sees him, Evelyn had given
There was no word to describe how nervous Evelyn was, all eyes were on her as she walked pass. She was saying a steady prayer in her heart not to miss a step. "Come on you are killing it." Evelyn heard her mother through the link message, she turned back and saw her with George. Seeing her parents smiling at her gave her the encouragement she needed. Luke was with his mate, Anita. Anita is still trying her best to make Evelyn's life miserable, she always make sure that whatever ugly remark she has for Evelyn would be whenever they are alone. Evelyn thought it's beneath her to even bother telling her brother about his mate's misbehavior. Anita had her eyes on Evelyn and hoping she would fail and become a laughing stock. Evelyn was wearing a beautiful red dress that belonged to the Luna, and Anita have begged the Luna for it but the Luna never accepted. So, seeing Evelyn wearing it made her hatred doubled. "Here comes the jewel." Alpha Damien said at the top of his voice drawing more a
(Blake) After I left that night, I wandered aimless deeper into the forest, I went so deep I believe nobody has ventured this deep, I plan to exclude myself from the rest of the world so this is a perfect place. I started hunting for food, which was easy since I learned the act a long time ago. But one day things changed, that's when I met Madiba, my mentor who turned me into the best wolf. "Come on keep pushing your limited" He screamed at me as am practicing the swordplay he thought me. He is a LATENT too, cast out like me, so he abandoned the world when he couldn't protect his mate, he came here and unlocked his potential. "As a LATENT your powers are limitless and can only soar if you keep pushing yourself" he barked. He discovered that being a LATENT means that we have no wolf but have the powers of a wolf but it will only appear with extensive training, much more than a wolf. And it made sense cause I trained my sense of smell that's why am more than others. It's been two
(Evelyn POV) I was relieved when I saw Blake, he saved me like he has many times in my dreams, am glad he won and we have few dead and casualties. My happiness was short lived when Damien and Walter came out with their gun and kept firing, I was beyond amazed that Blake was able to defend it all. They felt so helpless that they now have to resort in a petty trick. "So what's your choice Latent?" Walter asked. "Is it your pack or your mate?" Damien asked. I know this is the hardest decision an Alpha can ever make, I will make it easier for him, am the Luna after all. "Blake" I called and he turns "they will fire any second from now, I want you to go down in history as the greatest Alpha, so protect our pack and I will be the happiest Luna," I said and it dawns on him what am saying "I won't leave here," he said, I touched his cheek, and smiled, he is still that guy that I found that day, that innocent boy. "I know you won't love, so I will make it easy for you," I said an
(Blake POV) I watch as they slaughter my men, the only comforting thing is they still have determination written all over their face, its time to change the tide of the battle, so I linked to my Omega who is waiting with the other 20 warriors. "Do it now," I ordered. "Yes Alpha," he said, and I readied myself, am about to use a double edge sword I might also get affected if am not strong enough. I look up as it exploded, everybody stopped fighting and looked up to see the powdery substance coming down. Multiple explosion followed after the first, apart from my men the rogues are confused. "What is this trick," Walter asked, he has returned to his human form, naked now cause when a wolf transform they shed their cloth. "You will see," I said as the powder reached the battleground, one by one each wolf start returning to human. "Wolfsbane," Walter said, I smiled and gave him a nod "how foolish, it will still affect your men, maybe not you, but can you kill a thousand men alon
(Blake POV) I was raged after hearing his explanation, I can feel the same rage coming from my warriors, it is said a very powerful alpha fuels his pack when he is really angry. "What a coward your leader is to devise this petty plot," I said calmly but it's the calm before the storm. "Don't underestimate Walter, he is not like any Alpha you know," he said with a smile, how vile, I stoop low to his level of vision "Am also not like any Alpha he knows," I said and ripped out his heart. I want to leave now but it's already night so I will make my move tomorrow. "Calm your rage warriors, for tomorrow we bath in blood," I said and left them, but that was after giving my beta the orders. I trust him to get everything done, he is wiser than some Alphas. Luckily I have the hundred wolves I need, so when tomorrow arrives I will obliterate my enemy. "Wait my love, I will see you soon," I went inside to prepare, I brought out my sword, two of them are always sharp, I shut myself in a
(Evelyn) In front of me is Blake, the person I miss most, the person I have wished a thousand times to see, is my mate 'go to him' Eve my wolf said. I can feel how much she desires her mate, if she was a bothersome wolf, she would have been bothering me about a mate. "Evelyn" he spoke, his deep voice and am drawn, I took my first step then I remember how he also said he doesn't want a mate since he will be too weak to protect her, I don't care I will protect us both. My fear escalates when I think of rejection, he might reject me, I can't stand that. So I turn and took to my heels, I heard him call but I ignored him and kept running, he is a LATENT so he can't catch up with me. "Now you come running back" Alpha Damien said, how come he is the first person I meet, I just wanted my parents, so I turned to run away but he held my hand. I am no match for an Alpha and I am also out of breath due to seeing Blake and running, damn I need to exercise more. I try to wiggle my hand free bu
Its been 8 months and I already accomplished more than Madiba anticipated, am now considered one of the most eligible bachelors, lucky am a LATENT, both wolves think am human since they can't sense me, I didn't search for Evelyn though I know the way to their pack, she will be married now and I was also a huge coward then so I don't want to face her. Now am strong I don't mind seeing my mate since I can protect her and according to Madiba am a perfect killing machine. After staying 8 months I decided to go back to Madiba since I already accomplished so much, I can't wait to see his surprised look. I drove almost all night, I stopped when the car can no longer ride the path, I feel so happy that am about to see him, I also didn't stop practicing, my strength and agility fear me sometimes. On getting near, I sensed the danger cause I could smell iron from the air, that's blood, something is wrong, so I took off at lightning speed. With a sense of danger, I ran faster than before. F
