Kade Warning! Self-harm. As the saying goes, pain is inevitable, no one escapes pain. That was what I felt the day I saw Esmeralda clad in Ava's dress. I thought nothing mattered anymore. I thought my emotions were in check. I thought I had grown immune to pain, but my world came crashing when Esmeralda innocently walked into my room that fateful evening in my late sister's gown. The gown I bought for her on the day of her eighteenth birthday, the night she found her mate. The night of our Pack's Moon ceremony. The night of a great massacre in the Blood Moon Pack. The night everyone was laying in the pool of their blood. The night everyone set out to feast, but they were feasted on. The night newly mated wolves lay beside their mates, promising themselves heaven and earth as they struggled to take their last breath. The memory was still fresh in my head, so fresh like it happened yesterday. And the thought of it sent pain to my body in different directions, almost drivin
Phoebe With her hands intertwined in mine, we strode across the Pack, giggling sheepishly like two jolly friends. I couldn't help but notice the surprised glances a few people shot at me. It was unusual for me to be happy. Except I wanted to wreak a great deal of havoc. But today I was happy. Not just happy, I was in my free spirit, gisting, laughing, making silly jokes and acting as if nothing mattered. As if it was not enough, I was not on solo, which was more strange. It was an open secret that everyone knew how I loved loneliness and solitude. But seeing me with my half-sister in a happy mood spiked their curiosity. Strange right? Though they could sense the consequences of the aftermath of my mood, but they shrugged the feeling off immediately after it came. It was funny how they thought the advent of my half-sister made me happier and made me a better person. Fools! To get what I want, I was ready to do anything. Even if it meant being in a close relationship
Kade Slumping into my chair, a heavy sigh left my lips as I glanced at Esmeralda who lay asleep on my bed, her blood staining the white sheets. I grabbed the bottle of whiskey on my table, gulping down its content, not minding the burning effect it had on my throat. It was hot. Like fire. I was on fire! Except the fire was anger. Raw anger boiled in my blood the moment I locked my gaze with Esmeralda who looked like she had seen a ghost when she saw me. More anger washed through me when I remembered telling her the boundaries in the house the night she came. I could have known she would flaunt my orders. But I had trusted her anyway. So foolish of me. "Calm down, Kade," Tyson tried to pacify me, but a dangerous growl from me sent him recoiling back in my head. "Calm down, you say? You saw what she did, didn't you?" I asked breathless in anger. "I know, but I think..." "You think what?" I cut him before I could hear more of his annoying words which I didn't want to.
Esmeralda I woke up with a start when I felt a pair of hard, rough hands grab me, shaking me to my core. The scent of sandalwood citrus and warm honey hit my nostrils at once, almost suffocating me. I tossed, turning away from the source of the scent, but the aura blasted everywhere, leaving me no room for escape. The aura was so familiar, so strong, so deadly, so dominating. But then was the anger. I couldn't miss the heat that it produced as it rolled in waves. Raw anger filled the room and so was the aura. I shifted, turning away from the source, as an uncomfortable feeling settled in me, but it was everywhere. The aura was everywhere. I could feel it blasting from every angle as it consumed me, almost restricting my airflow. What was going on? I tossed again, struggling to get hold of myself, but then it dawned on me... I was on top of a bed, a very soft one, in a very familiar room. The room was familiar, I could feel that I had been there before. But where
Kade I couldn't sleep. I couldn't do anything. My conscience wouldn't let me. Thanks to Tyson's incessant whimpers and Esmeralda's assumptions too. After hours of tossing and turning on the bed as sleep eluded me, I walked into the bathroom, trying to free myself of the earlier tension between Esmeralda and me. I swallowed hard, trying to erase the memory when the cold water hit my body, sending chills within me. Damn, Esmeralda! Despite the chills, the cold bath wasn't helping. I walked out of the bathroom in anger, grabbing a bottle of whiskey from my wardrobe and opening it hastily. I needed something strong, something to charge my feelings. Placing the bottle on my lips as I didn't bother pouring it into a glass, I drained a good amount of its content, savouring its stinging effects. But it wasn't working. Nothing was working. What the fuck was wrong with me?! Tossing the bottle aside, I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. What was Esmeralda doing
Kade "Get out!" She ordered, emphasizing each word as her voice rang in my head, almost making my head spin. Taken aback by her words, my eyes scanned her, wondering how she had the energy to scream despite almost losing consciousness. She was so brave. The bravest Omega I had ever seen. She was ordering me to leave my house! Even Silvius wouldn't dare. "What are you still staring at? Leave this place and leave me the hell alone," She screamed again, this time, not as loud as the previous one, but I could feel the seriousness in it. She meant every word she said. "Just shut up and stay still," I hissed in annoyance, fumbling with her injured leg while she threw kicks at me, but I dodged them. "Can you just stay still?" I gritted my teeth, swallowing the bile of anger that rose in my throat. I was so close to using chains on her if that would make her stay still. "You won't dare," Tyson threatened, I could feel anger stirring within him, but I cared less. I wasn't goin
Esmeralda I melted under Alpha Kade's touch, allowing him to take care of me like a big brother takes care of his little sister. I couldn't help but blush till my cheeks turned into the shade of cherry as he maneuvered his fingers around my injured foot, carefully wiping the remnants of broken pieces of glass that were stuck to it. And for the first time, I felt happy that I got injured. Apart from the days when I went into his room to clean, nothing had brought us together. Not even a conversation. I had been afraid to initiate a conversation with him, but his stinking pride and his cold nature shoved the words back to my throat before they could form, leaving me devastated. Day and night, I had longed to be close to him, to feel him, even if it was for an hour. But today, the Moon goddess answered my prayers. Even if it was to get injured to have his attention. She gave me what I've always longed for. His undiluted attention. Thank you, Moon goddess. Not only was he
Chapter 68 Kade Disbelief. Disbelief cloaked me like a robe when I sat beside Esmeralda with the sandwich in my hands. What was I doing? Trying to feed her?! Get hold of yourself, Kade, father will not be proud of you. It was like I could feel his presence hovering around the room, watching me with a heavy frown forming on his hardened face. The face that rarely smiled. Despite his absence, his dangerous aura filled everywhere now, and so was his image in my head. I could feel those blazing eyes of his on me, burning me with a look of disapproval as he watched my next action. "Weak!" His voice rang in my head with so much force, it was like he was here, in this room...with me. Despite his demise, his presence brought a great deal of fear in me, making me pretend to be perfect. Even when I wasn't close to it. "I didn't raise a weakling who lets his emotions take charge of him. Drop that now and leave. Leave at once, Arcade!" His voice played in my head, and so w
If you are reading this right now, you don't know how much grateful I am. It takes a lot to start a book from the beginning, but out of the many hundreds that started this journey with me, you chose to finish this book without considering my long breaks, grammatical inaccuracy and all. I really want to appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad you invested both time and money into my book. Bless you all. I know the way I ended the book didn't please some of you, but it's the best I can do. I also didn't like the way I rushed my book, especially the part two. At least, Esmeralda and Selene got their happy ending. I planned on making the part two at least 30 chapters, but I have to study for my examination. It's next month and it's already here. I don't want to leave you hanging again. After my exam, I can write as much as I can because I'll be a graduate (BA) I'm studying English and literary studies 😉 This chapter was intended to appreciate those that spend time, gems, a
Chapter 114 (T.R.O.P) Esmeralda I had almost finished meditating on my powers when my stomach growled in hunger. The more I tried to focus on building my strength, to control my powers, the more the war in my stomach doubled. When I couldn't take it anymore, I got up from the floor where I knelt, picked up the piece of cloth that I knelt on and went inside the house. I almost missed the melodies the birds filled my ears with. I love nature and it helps me concentrate better. It fuels my strength when I draw powers from it. A smile crept on my lips when a delicious scent wafted my nose. I couldn't wait to devour the new recipe I just tried. I decided to try out a recipe that I found in an old jotter in the kitchen. I was sure it belonged to the man's wife that owned the house. After several hours of mixing, frying, stirring and boiling, it came out well. Even though I turned the kitchen upside down. I couldn't wait to try out more recipes in the book when I get
Chapter 113(T.R.O.P) Esmeralda A sigh of relief slipped off my lips, "Home sweet home," I muttered tiredly as I walked into the 'old house' as Selene often referred to it. Staying in the old house was my idea which she hated because it belonged to an old couple that died several years ago. The house was built in an old-fashioned way to Selene's distaste. But I cared less. Whether old-fashioned or not, the house was warm and comforting. It reminded me of my mother's house. The option of moving to my mother's house was a tempting one, but I discarded the idea. I didn't want to be reminded of those memories. As far as I was concerned, they were dead and buried. And I had already moved on. I strode to the dining table tiredly, poured some water from the jug into a glass cup and gulped every drop of it down my throat. My throat was almost on fire! The sun was merciless and I had exhausted the water in my bottle. Worst of all, I and Selene were the only ones here. I w
Chapter 112(T.R.O.P)EsmeraldaThe night was long and terrifying. I couldn't sleep all night as I was afraid of what he would do to me. The sounds of his constant mumbling, groaning and jerking kept my eyes glued on him. And his cursing too. Sometimes, he whispered words that sounded like pleas while sometimes, he shouted from his sleep like someone was after him or chasing him in a hot pursuit.It was strange because I had never imagined anything could make this monstrous Alpha behave vulnerable in his sleep. I couldn't fathom what was happening to him but I knew it was a dream. A bad dream. His worst nightmare. But what kind of dream frightens the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack? Suddenly, he woke up, gasping and panting hard. My blood almost froze when he shot me a deadly glare. But after a few seconds, he went back to sleep. It didn't take long before the jerking began again. The second time was the worst. He jumped on the bed like he saw a ghost in his dream and dashed out
Chapter 111(T.R.O.P) Aphelion Impatient, I banged the door repeatedly with my large fist, ignoring the person's sleepy voice as I banged it again. "Fucking answer me," I cursed with shaky breath, swallowing hard as I was partly consumed by fear. Yes, you heard right. The Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack was afraid. If it were by some lousy Alpha, I would have understood, but it was by some strange woman. A woman from my nightmare dressed in green robes with strange strawberry hair. My breath hitched when the cold breeze swept up on my skin and I quickly turned back to look into the darkness. I could feel her flaming emerald eyes giving me a haunting disapproving look. And that evil grin plastered on her face...and her words that left me in shock. My heartbeat quickened as my eyes roamed the darkness. It was like she was here... watching me... haunting me... And in times like this, there was only one person I needed… "Open this fucking door!" I tried to use my Alpha vo
Chapter 110 (T.R.O.P) Kade "Alpha," Lucas, my Gamma called, bringing me out of my deep thoughts. I snapped my head at him, accessing him shortly before signalling him to come in. My heart skipped a beat when he walked into the room. I tried to keep my emotions in check, but my heart won't stop pounding in anticipation. I didn't miss the surprised look on his face as he walked into my room with his mouth slightly ajar. My room was as messy as hell. It looked like the third world war happened here. Things were scattered everywhere, including broken objects. He carefully navigated his path, avoiding the broken wine glass on the floor before bowing briefly to me and stopping to watch me. Just go straight to the point! I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, watching him eagerly to speak. Don't look desperate, Kade. But fuck it, I was desperate. I've never been so desperate in my life. Since he wasn't going to speak, I'll go first. I hope it was a positive result. "A
Chapter 109 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda "Move it!" The guard yelled, rough handling me. His hard hands grabbed my slim arm as he dragged me into Aphelion's bedroom. Anger rose in Emerald's chest as she growled at him. Angry at his behaviour, she took over from me. "You better stop that act and behave yourself," He growled back, his face reddened in anger. "Let me go, punk," Emerald screamed, wiggling to set herself free from his firm grip. "It will be my pleasure to slap some sense into you. But the Alpha will not have it if I did," He hissed. Despite Aphelion hitting me, he instructed his subjects not to lay their hands on me. "I am Luna. Show some respect!" Emerald bit his dry hand, attempting to escape. But he was quick to catch her and lead her into the room. "Fucking bitch!" He cursed, tightening his grip on my arm till the area turned bright pink. I whimpered in pain as his fingers brushed over the bruised part. Emerald's mouth won't put me in trouble.
Chapter 108 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda My eyes flew wide open in surprise and my hand covered my small mouth that wouldn't stop opening. How did he know I was Alpha Kade's mate? I shifted uncomfortably as his aura caused me to tremble greatly. His aura screamed so much power, dominance, hatred, anger, pride and other scary things. Whoever this strange man was, he was up to no good. I could feel it in my bones. His smirks say it all. They were evil and dark. And his eyes…they screamed how cruel he was. They didn't hide how much they hated me. There was also something sinister about the way he looked at me...with so much disgust as if I had buried myself in a pile of dirt. He was ferocious, so mean, so evil, even Emerald trembled in my head, despite how unconscious she was. His evil aura affected her greatly. Despite being ferocious, he was not as ferocious as Alpha Kade. While Alpha Kade behaved ruthlessly, he still had some good buried deep down in his sto
Chapter 107 (END OF PART ONE) Esmeralda Another three days came and went, another three of pain and suffering. Another three days of enduring the torture that my mate had sex with another woman. How could he? How could he do that when he knew how much pain it would cause me? He was not ignorant of that, yet he chose to torture me in this manner. This was the worst treatment I had ever received. Even the harsh treatment from my former pack couldn't be compared to what I felt. Not even the dreaded horsewhip stood a chance. I was dying. The pain was killing me rapidly, eating me up from the inside and leaving me in a mess. I cried all day till I no longer had tears to shed. Was that how much he hated me? By fucking a whore for three days?! I spat in disgust as a bile of anger rose in my chest. I hate him. I hate everything about him. I regret the day I met him. And for what he has done to me, I will never forgive him. The thought of him in bed with another
