I squinted my eyes against the sun. It was blazing extra today. I raised my hand above my eyebrows, shielding my eyes against the sun. Our wooden house was small, with only two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a small living hall. I strolled ahead, trying to find peace for my skin under the shadow of a tree. It was a very hot day. I wasn't hunting but I liked to see rabbits wandering, jumping around. Though, my mother didn't consider this. I glanced at our backyard garden. My mother was a healer. I got this in my blood too. I could see all the grown vegetables, herbs, and all essential spices, I was still trying to learn their names and their benefits. It had been years. My mother learned everything from a little age.I wasn't out here under the burning sun to see rabbits. They must be resting under the ground in the holes that called their homes. It must be cool there. Sometimes, I wanted to be a rabbit instead of a
The anger and frustration mixed inside me. Claire was our friend because she wanted to, Alpha' sister got everything in her life. Now her new demand was Troy. Why was I getting bothered with her demand? I clenched my hands into fists. I didn't like it. It shouldn't affect me. I should contemplate killing him, instead of his being of mate with our friend. I didn't even wanna call her friend. Friends didn't neglect you or go against you when they got something they wanted. Her demand was wrong, she was wrong. I returned home. My mother's beaming face came into view. I plastered a smile on my face. She was going to smell my anger, anyway. She was plucking the vegetables for dinner. The basket was full of potatoes, tomatoes, peas, beets, cabbage, broccoli, mushroom, spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, coriander, kale, collards, turnips, lettuce. I could already see a filled bucket behind her and a second in front of her, ready to be full. "Hello, mamma,"
I'd thank him later. I would get some time for myself. Our exams were over. There was nothing to do in the school but our English teacher, she never stopped. Now we're prepared to take on the duties related to our packs. But we were already doing our duties along with our studies. War took everything in a few minutes, but it took years to build them back. I kept moving deep into the woods. My wolf was calm and she wasn't making any comments. Perhaps, she wanted this too. Distraction! I tried to calm my breathing. His thoughts gave me a lot of unwanted and new feelings. For a sec, I thought I wouldn't be able to peel my gaze off of him. I couldn't stop his handsome face flashing before my closed eyes. Thanks to my anger, it distracted me and helped me not to do anything wrong. "Kimberlie," I was startled by the loud scary tone. I recognized his voice instantly. He was our Alpha. Max. What did he want? I hadn't forgotten his glare. "Max?"
Troy's POV The food was amazing. I would never come here, not even after signing the peace treaty. My sister, her happiness brought me here. Katherine was looking happy with him. If he couldn't keep her as he had promised me. I'd kill every single wolf of his pack. But someone has captured my attention. She is so vulnerable. They called me their enemy. I don't care. She will be mine. Her scent still lingered in my lungs. Her taste was still on my tongue. "What do you say, Alpha?" I pulled out myself from my thoughts and stared at his Beta, Kelvin. "It looks natural but it does seem. Wild animals stay out of our territory as they can sense the danger." I told them. I had a lot of enemies. Thanks to my f****** father. His death didn't merely bring me the title of the Alpha but a bucket full of enemies. "We couldn't smell or get anything suspicious," Max said. There is where you are allowing your enemies to dig your grave, and rule your people. He doesn
My true mate could be anywhere in the world. A dreamy look filled my eyes. My pulses picked up as I smelled his familiar scent. No way, he could be here. Could he? I darted my big eyes around. I hurried out of my room, "Momma! Momma! Did someone..." My jaw fell open. When I could smell his scent in the living room too. He was here. "Here you are, my dear. You missed breakfast with Alpha Troy," Carina aunty said. Her small smile never left her. "What?" It was a whisper. I snapped my jaw shut, "He was here?" I drifted my gaze from aunty to my mother. I couldn't keep the astonishment away from my expression. "Yes, are you hungry?" She asked with her usual full smile. "Yeah," I muttered, sitting down on the chair. I wasn't certain. He was here. My mother was the best cook, no doubt. Obviously, this would be the reason. Mom placed a bowl full of chopped fruits, "Why did he come?" I asked, feeling a rush of warmth begin in my belly at the thought
I was reliving the memories spent with him. Being with Claudia and Ammu was a great distraction. He wasn't around but he was in my room before leaving and now, he was toying with my mind. 'Get a hold of yourself,' "Look at yourself, girl," Claudia shouted cheerfully. I glanced at them, "Let's go to school," I told them. "I didn't want to," Ammu said immediately. Frighten returned on her face. "Oh, come! You'll like it there and make new friends. You have us if someone teases you," Claudia tugged her with her, enveloping her arm around her slim arm. I stumbled over something when I saw a bigger man standing out near the Apple tree. His arms were bulky and long, he must be seven feet tall. His dark gaze turned to me. He could kill us easily. "He's Brew. He saved me last night." Ammu spoke and stepped forward, offering him a smile. She bowed her head. "Why does she always bow her head?" Claudia asked with a c
Panic was overtaking my senses. My mouth and throat were dry. Fear was coursing through my body. I was sitting on the bed, next to my mother. She hadn't talked to me, nor opened her eyes. Everything seemed to end when you saw your only family in such a condition. I tried everything that my mother taught me in these years. "We tried everything," Ammu whispered in a sad tone. Her healing power couldn't heal her too. "We can't stop trying. She's.. my only family," I muttered with tears, choking on my words. "I..I..." She closed her mouth. Tears shone in her eyes, "I should talk to Alpha. Could be, he had found someone." She rose to her feet. I nodded as I couldn't speak. My gaze was on the pale face of my mother. I wanted to kill Claire. But that could wait. I needed to be close to her. She might unfurl her eyes at any time. Deep down I knew, it was almost impossible. No one could survive from silver. They were deadly weapons.
I couldn’t believe that I had slept like a dead person. Did he not ask me to take a nap? My gaze turned to the window. I could see the sun raising up in the sky. 'No one came to wake me up.' I yawned and kept looking out of the window. My mother's thoughts in blood made me jerk on my feet. I couldn't enjoy the silence of the morning. I exhaled loudly before getting out of bed. I freshened up hurriedly and rushed out of the room. My mother would be fine. I told myself. Troy and Max were having their breakfast. I didn't intend to greet them. I sauntered over to the door of my mother's room. Ammu was sitting on the chair, her eyes trained on mom, "She's getting better. The gash is healing." She must have scented me. My eyes darted to my mother's face. She was getting her colors back, "Yes, did she wake up?" I asked in a soft voice. She needed proper rest. "Not yet, but soon," She breathed slowly as it would disturb her
I brushed my arms against the chill settling into me. The window was closed but I knew what would be outside. I had seen it last time at the full moon. "You're looking so beautiful," Claudia hugged me from behind. Her hold wasn't tight on me. I could feel she didn't want to spoil my dress before my mate saw me in it. Troy brought me a new white dress, with a long slit on one side of it. It was going with my curves, off shoulders gown. My hair was braided and tucked in a bun at the end of my nape. It was decorated with pearls. My mother kissed my head. She was looking healthy and happy, "Are you nervous, child?" She asked. I looked up at her lifting my chin. I nodded my head. I knew his pack, it was my home now. But being the center of all gazes made me nervous. My hands were cold. "There is nothing to scare, Kim. It's a proud moment," Carina said. I heaved a soft sigh and nodded. I flashed my perfect genuine smile. A soft tap on the
A gasp wracked my chest as someone shook me to wake. I was hearing a soft murmur in my ears. Like a sweet voice was singing around me. I opened my eyes but squeezed them immediately close as the light was so much for my eyes. "Open your eyes slowly," I heard her velvet voice again. I opened them as she told me. Over the course of a few breaths, I could see. Another loud gasp left my lips as I saw her wings. They stretched, reaching at least ten feet wide. The feathers were beautiful, pure white. As they appeared, she was so beautiful, wrapped in a silky white gown, her golden hair was wavy and spread over her shoulders. She was very tall, near six feet. I blinked in disbelief. It was impossible. I couldn't see an angel. Gradually, I drew my hand near my arm and I pinched hard. I didn't want her to disappear, "Ouch," I rubbed the spot still gawking at her, "You're real and sooo beautiful," My voice was full of shock. I still didn't know.
My breath came out in cool. It wasn't mine. She was cold. I send power to her through our bond. She needed to be strong. Moon goddess was with us. We found the book and Amanda was able to prepare the antidote according to our metabolism. Ray was throttling the steering wheel. The car was bumping when the car ran over a pothole, "Talk to him, Troy." He had told me more than a hundred times. But I didn't want to do anything but kill him. He hurt my mate, tried to kill her, and captured her. My wolf could sense our mate deep in the jungle. "No one would touch Dia. She's my prey." Elaine said in exasperation. She has repeated it more than ten times. "You weren't the only one. She played on. Shame on her. She's of our mother's age," Ivan growled. I sent Brew to the other end of the world, where Ariadne lived if she could help us. I had already asked my warrior to inquire with her. She said she chased him once to see who was behind the mask. That led her d
When I was bored being locked in the room I decided to go out As the sky was clear today and the sun was calling me out. Troy kept checking on me from time to time. I didn't practice. I wasn't certain about learning the whole thing in just a day. I need weeks or months to be an expert in all this. I blew out a breath. I had enough to worry about for now. I would deal with it later after my walk. the outside seemed warmer. Strange! I didn't need a cardigan today. The sight of snow made my body chill. So, I picked a turtle neck warm top for me. I was all talked out but the sun was feeling good against my skin. The warmth seemed amazing when you were seeing snow around you. I trotted forward toward the cave. I wasn't planning to meet Amanda, but it would be good to see her and know more about herbs. After all, she was doing a great job. The guards out of the cave bowed their heads. I didn't know what to do so I flashed my nervous smile. The
My arms were folded over my chest. The sun was up. I never considered the thought of him going away would sadden me. He was so strong. After completing the bond he could still raise barriers between us to block his emotions. It was the frustrating point. He let me feel his emotions last night. He loved me from the bottom of his soul. I wasn't brave enough to bring the words to my tongue. 'Am I overthinking?' I asked myself. He hugged me from behind and rested his chin on my head, "Yes" He said in a low voice. I curled my arms around his arms which were hugging my ribcage, "We'll have dinner together?" I asked him. "We will," His peck was promising on my cheek. He stepped out of the mattress, heading to the washroom. 'Wanna come, mate?' He asked through our bond. I gathered the bedsheet around me and paced toward the washroom. I heard him laughing as he sensed my excitement. The lawn was mowed and snow was shoved at the sides. I f
Goosebumps crept up my arms. His golden eyes flashed out of the window. I could smell decaying, nasty, death. I wanted to be wrong about my guess. "Troy," I said his name in a slow voice, getting out of the bed. He held out his hand, to stay me quiet. They could smell us, and approach us in seconds. I hadn't seen them in real life, just heard from Kelvin and Fabri. I was unable to hide my fear. My astonishment hiked when he straightened his arms, palms facing the earth. A blinding light flashed and he was grasping two swords. His look of a lethal warrior took my breath away. "Stay back, mate," He growled in a heavy tone that sent shivers down my body. It was a complete shock. A trickle of dread tiptoed up my spine, and I wanted it passed. I was waiting for my fear to stand in front of me. Screams ripped from my throat until my lungs were burning. The first vampire leaped through the window at him. His right hand swiped in the
She hated it but I had no choice. She heard me last night. I was aware of her nature. She hated to be watched over. I needed to clear the territory from evil so my mate and everyone could run freely. We were patrolling deep into the woods. They must have used this route to escape. Ray chuckled next to me, "She will get mad at you. That's it," He said. I shook my head with a smile. We had faced death more than once. We were the beast. Whatever game was Ezekiel playing. He wasn't going to be successful. Every wolf in my pack was well trained. "She would never stop Overthinking. She's not weak. She wouldn't accept it." I muttered. "I would not either. She married you. She's your mate. She's not weak." Ray whispered. The corners of my lips curled up. I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. "Troy," Brayden's voice was alarming. "You need to see this," I smelled fear in his voice. Ray and I quickened our steps toward the direction of him.
Worry was eating me up. Things were getting messy. I never expected it would be so bad. But Alyn was very bad, no doubt. My pulses were pounding in my ears. I could not sit calmly. I could feel their nervousness and worry too. Brayden turned to face me, "You need to calm down or he's going to sense it," He said. I stopped pacing and sat down on the couch. But calmness wasn't around me. I was feeling everything but not calm. Tension bunched in my shoulders. "You should watch TV, I guess," Brew suggested. I shook my head immediately. Who could be helping her? Taking her to her room was the biggest mistake. I exhaled, shaking my head. "We just can't sit here and wait for him," I told them. They shook their heads immediately, "We're not going anywhere," Ivan told me. "We can go," I pointed my finger at them and then at me. "Over my dead body," Brew crossed his arms, looking down at me with a deep frown "You're cr
I reached further and placed a soft kiss on her lips. She didn't stir. Her face looked pale, it would take her some time to gain her full strength and colors back. The poison had damaged her strength. She was on the verge of.... Exasperated sighs left my body, my hands clenched in anger. My wolf clawed me. He wanted to dig everyone's grave who was involved in it. He wanted to be free. The thing was, I still hadn't a clue about it. I had a lead now, Alyn... she could be helpful but she needed to speak the truth first. Her over cleverness couldn't hide her lies from me. A crease marred my brow as I pushed myself to my feet and walked over to the door. My gaze turned to the window. It was locked. But it was the easiest way for our attackers. I had to shift to another chamber, more secure, with only one way out or in. My guts twisted at the thought of her being in trouble, anyone ambushing her when I wouldn't be around her, infuriated me. I twisted the
