Chapter Twenty-fiveAce's Point Of ViewRiazI've always cared about him. Back then when I found him trapped in the woods till this moment. He was always cute, like a little baby. Whining when angry or sad and giggling happily when he was happy. He had the best smile in the world and I promised to keep him smiling. With Akira's help, I took him under my wing, protecting and guiding him all the way. I saw in him my little brother that I had lost. Because of this, I never got to realize his feelings. I never knew he saw me more than a brother. I never knew his feelings were that deep. I realized too late. I got confused. I didn't know what to do after that. Should I accept his feelings? What does accepting his feelings even mean? I didn't want to lose him but I wasn't ready to welcome his feelings. They were foreign to me. I never liked guys. I thought I shouldn't give him false hope by lying about my feelings so I had to reject him. I just never knew it would result in him running a
Chapter Twenty-sixAlexa's Point Of ViewIt's been a week. We thought Riaz would be back within two days but two days turned into three, into four, into a week. Akira is getting angrier by the minute and Ace is drowned in worry every day. We all set out to look for him yesterday but it was futile. We couldn't find him. He seemed to cover his tracks well. "You should go in and rest. Ace will be back," Raya, the maid assigned to me, said. "He's been gone since midnight! What if he also doesn't come back?" She sighed. "Master Ace can take care of himself,""With Riaz missing, I don't think he can. He's been out of it all week," I said as I turned to her. "And besides, he's dear to Akira. I don't want Akira to lose another person dear to him," I said and she smiled. "It feels good to see you worry about our alpha." I batted my eyelashes and flushed. "W...worry?" She nodded. "It only means you'd be a good mother to the pack," I thinned my lips trying not to smile. I felt so proud o
Chapter Twenty-sevenAlexa's Point Of View"I could eat more of this," I watched as he shoved more bread into his mouth. His stuffed cheeks made him look like a chipmunk. Cute. He gulped down his cup of tea and let out a satisfactory sigh. "That was so good," he said and I grinned proudly. I should make him dinner more often. He seems to like eating. "Of course, I made it." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Thanks," "You're welcome," I said bashfully. He packed the used plates to the sink and began to wash them. "You should have let me wash them," I said and he shook his head. "You prepared the food. It's only right that I wash the dishes." He said and I smiled. He's such a husband material. Wait up, what am I saying? I looked at him and found him smiling sheepishly to himself. What could be so funny? "What's funny?" I asked and he turned to me. He shrugged. "I'm just happy," "Why so happy?" "Because I have you? Are you not enough reason to be happy?" He asked and I pursed
THE EASTERN EMPIREMILES AWAY FROM WHITE MOUNTAIN PACKRiaz's Point Of ViewBreathing heavily, I set under a palm tree on the beach. I took off the hoodie of my cloak and reached for the bottle of water in my backpack. Like a thirsty camel, I gulped it down thirstily. I've been journeying for a whole week. I didn't know what I was thinking when I left the pack. Maybe I just couldn't take it. It was hard walking and seeing him. He rejected me. I was no longer a brother nor a friend to him. I was just Riaz. I thought, maybe I should pretend like I was not affected. Maybe I should act as I've always done but I couldn't. Even if I could, my pretense would fall the moment I see him with a woman so I decided it was best to leave. I wouldn't be able to bear the heartache so I left. I had nowhere to go. I didn't know where I came from. No friends from outside so I just kept walking. I kept walking until I got to this beach. Gosh, why is the sun so harsh over here? It's scorching hot and I f
Chapter Twenty-nineRAVEN PACKRaga's Point Of View"My Lord!" I got on my knees in respect in front of him. "And why are just just returning?" He asked as he drew in smoke from the tobacco in his hands. "I...we lost her. We lost her to the man." He faced me and I lowered my gaze. "So? Did you find out who he is?" "N..no, my Lord but he...he is a wolf." He raised his brow. "A wolf strong enough to take down five of the best vampires in the pack?" I nodded. "I also couldn't believe it. His wolf was huge. Bigger than any wolf I've ever seen before. He was of two colours, red and white." I left Alexa with my men to go check out a safe route for us to pass. I did not expect that they would go into blood lust. It was her scream I heard that made me come running. I did not expect that I would behold an amazing sight. His wolf was huge. Has huge as ten regular wolves combined. It was a fascinating sight - him tearing the vampires into pieces with just one blow. I knew if I joined the
Chapter ThirtyAlexa's Point Of View"You could have at least told someone before you left," I said. Ace turned to me and I raised a brow. He didn't notice me when he came in. I had been waiting for him in the hallway since morning. "You left home yesterday and came back a day later without dropping a letter or something." "I don't remember where it's stated that I have to report to you everywhere I go." "There is nothing like that but be considerate. You had everyone worried. I thought you had gone haywire like Riaz." I said. "Right. Sorry about that." He said apologetically and I hummed in understanding. "So...where did you go to? Did you go to search for Riaz?" I asked and he nodded. Gosh, poor guy. "Any leads?" I asked and he shook his head sadly. "It's okay. We'll find him. For now, just go and rest. You must have walked a lot." I said and he smiled wearily. "Thanks, Alexa." "You are always welcome.""Where is Akira?" He asked and I shrugged. "He's been gone since yest
Chapter Thirty-oneAlexa's Point Of View"Are we there yet?" I asked for the umpteenth time. "Calm down, Alexa, we are almost there." I rolled my eyes. "You've said that five times now." "Are you tired?" He asked and I nodded poutingly. He bent before me and tapped his shoulder. "Get on my back.""Really?" I asked and he nodded. I got on his back and he rose to his feet and resumed walking. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. "Alexa..." He called and I hummed. "What was your first thought when you saw me?" He asked. "Why the sudden question?""I just wanna know." "Wasn't it obvious?" He shook his head. "My first thought, huh..?" I thought deeply about that night. Our first meeting. The night the world stopped the moment he pulled me into that corner and I stared into his eyes. "He's got beautiful eyes," I said and he chuckled. "What? That was what I first noticed about you so I thought you had beautiful eyes. Well, until I found out abou
Chapter Thirty-twoAlexa's Point Of View"Oh, my days! He popped the question?" Luna mother asked and I nodded excitedly. She clapped her hands like a delightful kid as she squealed in happiness. Her action made me laugh in amusement. Raya wasn't left out. She jumped up and down excitedly, giggling like a baby. "Really?" She asked again and I nodded. "Ah! Finally!" She carried Cyan under her shoulder and began walking to and fro. "You'll need a lot of things. Clothes, shoes, bags, hair, make-up!" "What colours do you like?" Raya suddenly asked. "What food?" "Guys...""What about decorations?" "So you prefer flower crowns or a simple crown." "Guys!" I snapped, and they stopped fidgeting. "Jeez, I know you guys are excited but calm down, will you? You guys are just bombarding me with questions that I don't even know the answer to." "Ah," Raya mouthed. "Sorry." She said sheepishly and came to sit beside me. Luna mother sat on my other side and placed Cyan on my lap. I haven't
