Ismena did not understand what he meant until he got to the home of Rado, the middle-aged male that was infected. One look at him, anyone can tell that he's sick. He was lying on the bed, looking very pale and coughing constantly.His mate, a beautiful woman in her late forties, was sitting beside his bed, patting his forehead with cold water because he has serious fever too."Thank you so much, Alpha King, for coming." The woman said again, smiling warmly at Wolfaraine."It is nothing, Mara. Rado was my Sentinel a year ago. I should have been here earlier, but it has been busy." He asked, taking a seat by the fireplace.The house was small but very clean and homey. It smells nice now, Ismena thought as she looked around for which of the chairs to seat on."Come and seat on me." For a moment, Ismena was sure she didn't hear him right. But, the way he was looking at her, and elegantly patting his left thigh indicated that she must not have heard what she heard. "Huh?""Oh, my dear, yo
She has fallen so in love with him, it's hard to find her feet because of how hard she fell.She kissed him. Trying to suppress the part where he wouldn't be mating her and desperately holding onto the part where she is his mate. She is the only woman destined to be with him in this entire world. His lips licked hers, sucking on her lower lip repeatedly as he moved them backwards until her back pressed against a cold wall. She didn't feel its coldness that much. Not when she was boiling like coal.He pushed his tongue into her mouth and growled, demanding that she suck on it in a grunted order. She did, wrapping her lips against his pink, velvet tongue and sucked sensually until he growled again. Then, he began a rhythmical tongue-to-tongue dance with hers that made her moan repeatedly.She held tightly onto him as her brain whirled, as her body fueled. She parted her thighs, drawing him closer in between until she felt his rock-hard cock at the very place she was creamy and needy.
All through the ride, Ismena tried calling her mother's cellphone but her number wasn't connecting. By the time they arrived at the hospital in the morning, Ismena was filled with so much worry.She rushed into the reception and spoke with the receptionist. The nurse was too busy attending to other matters that she hasn't looked her way since Ismena started trying to get her attention."I'll be with you shortly, ma'am, I just need to get these files across first. Kindly wait a few minutes, please." She spoke methodically without looking up, as if it was a poem she is very used to reciting.Before Ismena could try to explain how impatient she was, Wolfaraine stepped forward from behind her and leaned into the counter. He took the woman's jaw and tilted it upwards until their eyes met.The nurse's eyes widened to unbearable degrees as she was met with the most unsmiling, intimidating face she has ever seen in her entire face. "You will leave everything else you're doing and attend to h
Wolfaraine was in pain. His brain has stopped thinking too.This scent... He will know this scent anywhere."It's him. Doctor Hector... from the Labs." The wolf was mad. The cougar was raging insane. Both halves fought inside him.They fought over which form will dominate the male. They battled over which form will shift and take over the male's body.The one with the greatest rage was winning. The cougar was so close to the surface, that its wrath was overwhelming. It mixed with the male's rage until Wolfaraine was on the verge of shifting. He was so close...Alphose got in front of him to block him from Ismena's family. "Control yourself, Alpha King, please. You do not want to be doing this! Ismena's whole family is here, you will harm them!""W-What is going on?" Ismena asked, standing up hesitantly. Her mother and Valentina were confused, but Sandra was downright terrified. Just like she is."What is wrong with him, Alphose?" But, she could see it with her own eyes. The mountain
When did he wake up!?"Dad!" She gasped, drawing everyone's attention toward the bed."Dad!!" Valentina pulled away from their mother and rushed toward him. Amelia turned too and hovered over her husband.Ismena wanted to go too. she wanted to go so badly. But, she was afraid to leave Wolfaraine's side because of what just happened. What if he shifts to the cougar again?She was still confused about what happened. Did he mistake her father for another man? Or, is it just the anger of seeing humans together?Her bet was, he'd had flashbacks of his time in that horrible hell and he'd mistaken her father for one of those devilish doctors.But, as she kept looking at her father, she noticed something. He was not looking at them at all. He was only looking at the man standing behind her.He and Wolfaraine were staring at each other. What is going on here?In her father's eyes, there was none of those glints that suggests unfamiliarity. Instead, apart from the look of pain and tiredness on
After Alfred was done sharing his confession, that was when he could finally bring himself to look around the room.Amelia was openly bawling her eyes out. Valentina was hugging her tight, trying to console her mother while tears ran freely from her own eyes. The poor girl looked so hurt...so betrayed, by her father who was supposed to be her hero."Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God..." Ismena's mother couldn't stop crying. The sound of her sobs was heartbreaking to her. The painful memories of the past and everything her daughter went through was reflected in her wet, red eyes.Ismena felt...numb.She was staring ahead but she couldn't see anything. Her ears were open, but she couldn't hear anything.She sat there, like blank porcelain, while her father's confessions recapped in her mind. His words replayed over and over and over again.She was in the labs when she was eight.She was paired with Wolfaraine.She got pregnant with him.She lost her child and her womb.She died, and was resurre
Alphose searched for Wolfaraine everywhere, but he was unable to find him. Even the cougar couldn't sense him. His Alpha King does not want to be found.He was worried, but he didn't let it show. Instead, he went out in search of Ismena and her family. But, on the way out, he'd seen the doctors and nurses rushing towards Alfred's room. The doctor was shouting orders, while the nurses hurriedly wheeled him out of the room. Through his enhanced senses, he heard the loud beeping of the monitor that was connected to Alfred.He'd gone to the doctor and asked what was going on. The doctor had told him.Minutes later, Alphose walked out to find Ismena and her family. They were still in the backyard. He found them all seated closely together, holding each other together. Even Kassandra was seated with them.One thing Alphose observed very well was that his Kassandra has been a very good part of this family for a long time—they treat her like one, and she treats them like one too. Your Kass
She barged into the open door of her father's hospital room, to see the nurses and the doctor surrounding her father's bed, she couldn't even see his face. "Let's go two hundred joules, come on." The doctor commanded one of the nurses, rubbing the defibrillator together before he jolted her father's chest again. Her father jerked on the bed, but that was the only reaction they got.The machines were going crazy. There was a loud beeping but for the life of Ismena, she can't seem to figure out where the sound was coming from. Her mother and sister crowded her, grabbing her from everywhere in sheer panic. They were asking her questions but she couldn't hear them well. She couldn't hear anything,see anything apart from the monitor.She watched in horror as the lines straightened—until it flatlined, and then there was an even louder beep.The doctor straightened away from him, his lips pursed in sadness, before looking at the nurses and shaking his head. Like a movie, everyone stopped wh
When the full moon eventually came, screams from two women in two different parts of Naturiah were particularly high in the air because two couples were getting mated. One from the Cougar Clan, the other from the Heart of Naturiah.In the Cougar Clan, Alphose held his woman close as he gave her all that was him. She has never taken all his forms before, but tonight she was going to before the mating ritual is performed. Her sweaty body shook under his, and he could smell her fear too. He whispered words of love and encouragement to her ears as he filled her body from behind yet again and began thrusting again.They were in their bedroom, kneeling on the floor with Kassandra's upper body lying on the bed and Alphose's own blanketing hers from behind. They've been at it all night. She has lost count of how many times she has released. At this rate, her soul was going to leave her body. Alphose was the best lover she'd ever been with—hell, even the word 'best' does not do him justice. G
"I love you too, baby." He rose with her in his arms, withdrew a gold ring from his pocket, and slipped it into her ring finger. "It's so beautiful..." She cried, staring reverently at the sparkling jewelry. "It looks so good on you," he whispered to her. That night, they made passionate love together. As always he took his time arousing her body, touching her everywhere until she begged him desperately to join them intimately before he proceeded to do just that. They created the perfect rhythm together, moving sensuously and whispering words of love to each other. Wolfaraine took his time making her go wild in pleasure in his arms, he savored the cries, the litany, the sounds he drew from her as they pleasured each other for hours. Afterward, they lay together, sated and happy. He caressed her belly, cradling their child as Ismena burrowed closer to him. "I'm so glad that it was my father that helped us escape. We were victorious because of him." She played with the soft hairs
The next day, Onaries was publicly executed in the square at the Heart Of Naturiah, before the people. Crowds gathered to watch it and it gave them great satisfaction to see the shame, the humiliation on the psycho's face before he was beheaded. To Onaries, it was the worst punishment. He should have killed himself when the lab was invaded—it was better to die in battle than to be killed by public execution where the people get to laugh at him, spit on his face and call him names. He'd been tortured for days by his own Head Sentinel, Rodarh who took great pleasure from the act. He tortured Onaries until he lost his pride and begged to be killed. But Onaries, that monster, had denied him. Until today when he was publicly executed. As for the human doctor, Beloca; Alphose, and Degar had taken turns beating the man up, they carved his skin out of his own body, his screams like music to their eyes. They tortured Beloca to an extent that he stopped breathing several times, but they did
"Nothing, Miss Kassandra; I only forced your dormant hormones to come alive. My 'attempted claim' on you forced your body to wake and take on your mate's scent." He smiled a little, "Now, you practically stink of him." Sandra doesn't understand. "Him?" She asked, confused. "The Steele trying to break down that door, ma'am. You are his mate. There was a time you were very sick, right? To the extent you thought you might die, right?" Sandra doesn't need to think hard about that. "Yes, when I was very young, I suffered pneumonia." He nodded knowingly, "Whatever drugs humans used to cure you suppressed your hormones that made you a potential mate. So deeply suppressed that they wouldn't have stirred if you hadn't met your lifemate, my twin brother, and I wouldn't have been able to awake them if I didn't push as hard as I did. I'm sorry for hurting you, lass." The man wasn't as bad as she thought he was, Sandra thought, and some of her fears dissolved. Instead, joy began spreading thr
When Ismena heard the news about Alphose and Kassandra, she left the Tower and went back to Eline's house to be with her best friend. Sandra cried on her shoulders, dreading every hour that passed, every ticking of the clock because it was a reminder that Josiah was already on his way to Naturiah to claim her. She told Ismena that she didn't wanna do it. She just wants to go back to the human world. It's better to go home to live the rest of her life alone than to be with a man who isn't her Alphose. Although it killed Ismena to do it, she talked her out of it. How will she live the rest of her life knowing that she could have met her soulmate? She could have been with him, but she gave up on it? She talked her into giving Josiah a chance. After all, who knows? It might be the best decision she has ever made in her life, right? The Alpha King, on the other hand, could only pat his best friend's shoulder, commending him for doing the right thing even when the 'right thing' hurts. B
He smiled, "She is. Do you remember all your time together with her?""Oh yes. She is my best friend.""She will be so happy to hear that. It'll probably make her cry. She thinks of you that way too. Maybe even more.""I want her to stay with us forever. You're going to mate her, right?" "Yes, I will. If she will have me." Wolfaraine stated matter-of-factly. He has no doubt anymore. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Ismena. In fact, he cannot imagine his future without her in it."I'm glad. I hope she will have you, too. We will be one big family. She is so brave. She's everything you need in a mate. She always came by my room, all the time, no matter how scared she was. She came every day. I knew you two fought when she didn't come by for a few days. I was mad at you because you let her go.""Is that way you growled whenever I came close? I thought perhaps you hated me.""I never. I was just mad at you, madder, because I couldn't tell you how I felt. I'm happy you two sort
He walked into the room, quietly closing the door behind him, and took a few minutes to just stand there and watch them. The two most important women in his life. He felt lighter and refreshed, his heart filled with happiness like he'd never known before. How his life has changed in the past few months. He'd resigned himself to a bland life filled with guilt, sadness, and loneliness, never taking a mate, never having a child of his own, and living day by day with the fear of not knowing when he would lose his sister forever. But Ismena came into his life and changed it forever.He'd felt more in the past six months than he has in almost twenty years. The past no longer fills him with rage and sadness, his cougar wasn't as rough and out-of-control as before. He has a mate who is so highly compatible with him, his child is growing in her belly, and his sister, who he thought was lost forever was back to him again.Complete. He feels complete."What are you thinking so hard about?" Ism
Gasps of disbelief filled the air. The people were shocked and excited. They found it hard to believe that their King's sister—someone who they'd all given up on—would take her mortal form again after all these years. Murmurs rose in the crowd, bits and pieces of them could be heard audibly."Did you see that—" A voice said."What just happened!?" Another added."She took her mortal form again...!" "Bless the Lord!""May the deities be praised...!""Did you see that too?""...thought it'll never happen for her.""It's been eighteen years."Wolfaraine Daminor Throne stood frozen. He glanced down at the small, pale, feminine hand in his larger one. His eyes trailed from her hand to her arm, up to her shoulder, her neck, and her teary face. His throat constricted at the sight in front of him.She was more beautiful than the distorted image his mind had desperately held onto all these years. His sister was ten the last time he saw her face. His eyes watered as he gazed into eyes as blue
All the leading Alphas of Naturiah were there, the sentinels, the Betas, the Omegas, the houseworkers. He could see Eline, Mirian, and Kassandra too, even the Alphas that fought with him in the human world earlier in the day. They were all gathered there. They rose and greeted him respectfully when he walked through the door with his mate in his arm.Then they were crowding him. The joy and relief on their faces, filled his heart with love for his people. The females had tears in their eyes as they came really close to him. Some were hugging him, while the others were kneeling at his feet—a gesture of welcome and respect. They were all careful not to press tightly against him because of the woman in his arms. Ismena wiggled a bit, a sign that she wanted to be on her own feet, but Wolfaraine glanced at her and shook his head slightly."Please, I'll be careful, and I'll be right here by your side." she pleaded, a hint of her smile on her face. She knows how badly his people wanted to g
