By the side of a dimly lit room, a child huddled by the corner, his body bled from stripes of cane. He was naked and frightened. He had arrived here over a year and it seem like no one was ready to get him out of this place. He couldn't understand why he had to go through this pain.“Mama” he cried out quietly as frightened tears poured out of his eyes.The door to the room opened and a girl in a floral dress walked in. She looked a few years younger than him. As she stepped closer to him, he let out a growl, warning her to keep away, but she seem to be more interested in him than his warning because she stopped in front of him and before he could talk, she laid her hand on his shoulder. Immediately, the bleeding stopped, the wound did not visibly heal but he felt a fuzzy feeling that the pain had stopped. His eyes widened at her but she smiled brightly,“I hope you don't feel pain again.” She said, looking genuinely concerned for the crying child“Thank you”, the beaten child whisper
Zach stepped into Aramina’s room. Her scent calmed down his nerves. He had spent the last three days attending the annual council of alpha meeting and most of the things they said were pissing him off. Seems like everyone already knew that he had found his mate and they have all agreed that he has to reject her. Like hell, he will. As he looked at Aramina he knew that he couldn’t reject her. She is the innocence he had lost; her bright smile, her addictive excitement when she was happy, her confusion and anger were all things he wanted to protect. He will kill anyone who tried to pull them apart. As he turned to leave, Aramina called him “Zach?” He tensed, he knew she was still angry at him for the scene she witnessed two weeks ago, he had intentionally decided to always come and see her at night when he knew she will be asleep. Seems like he had been ambushed today by his mate. Aramina called out to him again. “Zach, come and lie with me” Zach looked at the figure which was si
The lines on his back were like reptiles fighting on a battlefield, marring his beautiful perfect skin.“Who did this to you Zach,” she asked bitterly as she tore her eyes from the stripes and looked at his face, but instead of responding, she felt him putting up the defenses.He carefully carried her out of his body and stood up from the bed.“It’s nothing, Mina,” he said, not meeting her eyes“Like hell it’s nothing, how can you have such cruel marks on your body and you tell me it’s nothing” Aramina was fighting the frustration and tears from imagining the pain such whipping must have inflicted on this stubborn mate of hers,“Is it so difficult to tell me, I just realized that while you know practically everything about me but I know nothing about you,” she said, angrily dashing into the bathroom and locking the door behind her.Zach stood for a minute before heading to his own room. He had to deal with the first pain coming from his hard dick begging for release and then he had to
As Zach dressed up, his thoughts went back to the agenda of the meeting. Four humans have been killed within the space of two months and the human police were sniffing around. Currently, very few humans know about werewolves and they were sworn to secrecy. But with the way the rogues were getting out of hand, it won’t take long for the whole human population to know about the existence of the werewolves.Years ago, wolves were not allowed to go rogue, they were either killed or have their wolves removed from them, this reduced the number of rogue wolves in the city, but with the arrival of the new council of Alphas, who deemed it fit and more merciful to abolish the concept of killing wolves just because they do not believe in their alpha or committed a crime, many rogues had emerged and now they were going out of line.Zach had never supported the idea of letting wolves go rogue, after his father's reign, he had killed off all the traitors, subsequently, he still kills off anyone in
Zach stepped into the grand hall, and everyone became quiet. He glared at alpha Recdolf for a few minutes as he settled down on his seat.“Welcome to the Toople pack everyone” he greeted. “I hope you are all making yourselves comfortable,”“We are not here to be comfortable” Alpha Ross of the creek pack interjected rudely. “I just got off from an invitation at the police station, I was questioned like a criminal since one of the humans was found in my company backyard.”“The rogues are getting out of hand, heard you were attacked too, alpha Zach” Tyson, the alpha of the blood moon pack asked.He was a young man of nineteen, he was practically the youngest alpha in the council as his father birthed him late and handed over the mantle of leadership to him early. Zach liked him because he was innocent but he was wary of such innocence. The blood moon pack was at peace with every pack. The young lad was certainly good at alliances.Zach cleared his voice as he nodded, “and they killed a h
How did he always have this huge effect on her? Aramina kept musing as she went up the stairs. Zach made her angry, like really angry, and then makes her happy, like really happy. He knows how to touch her to make her turn to jelly in his hands. She was glad at the moment.For the first time, she had seen something in Zach’s eyes. As she pulled off her sweats and climbed into the bed half-naked, she hoped that Zach would be able to show her a glimpse of his inner turmoil.“He will come around, we just have to wait for him” Theia her wolf advised her.“How do you know, what if he masks up as soon as he steps in” Aramina answered back, she was used to Zach’s hot and cold attitude.“Then we leave him to his demons until he is ready to tell us, I have seen a lot like him over the years”.Aramina scoffed, “yea yea, you always talk like you are older than me”Theia kept quiet, she also had a lot of things to tell Aramina, but first, she needed to find out how she ended up on this side with
Aramina shifted against Zach’s body, as much as she would love to remain snuggled to him, she was tasty. But as she tried to free herself from Zach’s body, his hand tightened on her, silently protesting her attempt to depart. She smiled and pecked him, and he visibly relaxed. Aramina used that opportunity to climb out of the bed. She went straight to the refrigerator in the room but it seemed like no one remembered to refill her fridge and she knew she had drank the last one from the jug before she went to bed in the evening. She heaved as she opened the door and stepped out, intent on heading to the kitchen. The hallway was eerily quiet, so quiet that she shuddered. As she entered that kitchen, she was amazed by how spotless it looked. But as she drank her water, she had a sound, more like moans coming from the window.She was curious, she knew wolves had animalistic sides but she had never seen then, as she drew close, she saw them, two wolves humping away while licking each other.
Alpha Recdolf heard the noises outside but he was not in the mood to interfere with the problems in Zach’s pack.‘Alpha Zach is headed here, Alpha’ his beta informed him.Recdolf groaned. He was exhausted, physically and mentally and he was not in the mood to see anybody, least of them, the bratty Zach.‘and he is not looking happy’Now that was something, he had never seen that little Alpha lose his cool. He threw on a shirt and stepped out. The moment he stepped into the lobby, he had a growling sound and before he could react, or dodge it, a punch landed on his face, followed by another and then another.‘what the fuck’Alpha Recdolf recovered immediately and pushed the furious looking young man off him. He wanted to retaliate but he knew it was a waste of time and energy,As Zach made to go for him again, his beta, Caleb held him back“Alpha”Recdolf could see that the young man was beyond reasoning but he still tried,“To what do I owe this assault, Alpha Zach” he spat out“I had
Karen slowly walked up to the witch, she was still as beautiful as ever, but Karen knew better, her insides were nothing like her beautiful shell, she was deception in human form. It had taken her a while to find her, she was surprised that she hadn’t moved across the world to avoid Zach, but again, Sabrina was pompous and she often left a mark wherever she went. Everything about the bitch was bad news, but they had to admit that she was one of the best witches the pack had ever had. “What do you want, Karen” Karen smiled, the coldness in the witch’s voice did not hide the fear she felt. Halting, she smirked coldly, “come on Sabrina, that is not a way to greet an old friend.” She slowly walked in circles near the witch, she had never liked Sabrina, the witch was one manipulative bitch that often got Anita in trouble. Looking around the room, she could not help but smile in satisfaction. The room was definitely like a hermit’s place. A far cry from Sabrina’s choice of an ideal room.
Aramina blinked at him, her demeanor changing, she couldn’t believe what he was implying, “ is that what all this is about, you...you...think I ... a...am too close to Max,” she stammered not really ready to articulate his assumption. “How dare you?” She finally screamed out, “you know what, you are crazy and I will be a fool to listen to this gibberish coming out of your mouth,” she said and opened the door to leave,“where the hell do you think you are going, it is already past two and everywhere is pitch black, damn it” he said as he closed back the door and successfully locked her in, she struggled with him even though she knew it was of no use as she bit down the tears that were threatening to seep down her eyes. She woud be a fool to cry in front of this handsome but foolish and clueless mate...how could he, after everything they shared, he threw such words at her, she was angry and frustrated. She tried again to unfasten the seatbelt which he held in place with just a hand,“L
A free chapter to thank you for hanging on ... As they drove off, she instinctively knew he was angry and with the way he calmly led her to the car, they were not up for argument. But she ignored the frosty atmosphere, “why are you not asking me what I was doing there?” she asked him. He glanced at her and continued driving, “seriously, are we doing the silent treatment now? Look, Max is my friend, practically the only one who talks to me at school and there was no way I couldn’t have answered him when he called.” Zach’s hand tightened on the wheel, he really was not in the mood to banter words with her. Clearly, she didn’t know who Max was in this world, he couldn’t stop imagining the tense atmosphere when he stepped into Max’s office. “I really think Max is innocent, why don’t you investigate properly before suing him, I mean, his company isn’t as big as yours and could easily crumble under your attack, I have lived with my step sisters and I have watched them do things that I la
Zach came in late, he was really exhausted from the press meetings and paperwork he had been handling for two days now. He came back late, so he did not want to bother Mina, but he had missed her. She was the only one that can give him a bit of strength, so he thought of just going to her room and cuddle, just cuddling and perceiving her soothing scent. but first, he had to eat. He entered the kitchen and made an omelet for himself. “Sir,” Blake called quietly from the kitchen entrance. Zach turned around, from the look on Blake’s face, he knew that he was not going to like whatever news he brought for him. “What is it, Blake,” Zach asked seriously. “Ma’am left twenty minutes ago,” Zach growled as he looked as his watch, this is 10:30 pm, “where did she go to?” Blake hesitated, he had tried to stop Aramina but he could not use brute force on the future Luna, plus she was a piece as she threatened him. “To see Alpha Max, Alpha” “what” Zach said immediately dropping the last bit
“You are stupid and dumb” Max shouted at his Strategy manager. He had just returned from Ara’s school to hear that one of Zach’s secretaries who had been helping them sabotage Zach’s business have been arrested and that the police had called in his strategy manager in for questioning. “You were not supposed to be caught, you moron. You are useless. You were set up by a fucking woman and caught. Just a simple task, a simple freaking task and you couldn’t fulfill it. Fool,” he screamed throwing the files on his table at him. The manager groveled on the floor pleading with Max, “Please sir, I’m sorry.” “Get the hell out of my office and consider yourself fired.” Max knew that if the police had arrested Zach’s secretary, it means that Zach was onto him. “Gather up all files related to Bando Steel and Riz motors that have my signature in them and trash them. Get someone to forge manager Ralph’s signature and append on the ones yet to be signed,” he instructed his HR manager over the la
“You sure prepared well,” Aramina said, chuckling as she walked into the room and realized that Zach had set up candle lights and had bought buckets of popcorn. Zach looked down, Aramina could swear that he was blushing“Just go shower while I choose a movie” Zach saidAramina nodded and headed to the bathroom.As the water poured over her body, she thought about Alpha Recdolf and what they discussed, Theia had not still responded raising her suspicion, and then again, the Zee and Max issue. A lot of things were going on and it seem like she and Zach were thrown into the midst. She love the harmony between them now and she had no intention of destroying that. “Mina” Zach called from the room, she started and realized that she had spent more time than necessary.“Coming” she answered clean her body and threw on Zach’s polo she saw neatly folded near the closet and rushed out.Zach looked up and his thoughts about a movie vanished. Aramina stepped into the room looking portably sexy. H
“Are you okay ma'am," Blake asked looking at Aramina from the rear mirror,"I'm okay, thank you".The story Alpha Recdolf had spun on her was a pure tragedy, no comic relief. She knew she liked Zach well enough to just up and leave because of some scary childhood tragedy.“Theia," Aramina called to her wolf, but Theia was quiet, "you can't ignore me forever, you know."She breathed out as the pack house came into view. She was comfortable here, she loved the new Zach she was interacting with now, and she knew he loved spending time with her. The attraction between them was not something she could just throw away because of some bad luck in the past. She smiled as she saw Zach standing in front of his house, she knew she was a few hours late and she was surprised he wasn't blowing up her phone yet. As Blake stopped the car, she flew out and gave Zach a hug. He responded almost immediately, pulling her closer to him as he buried his face in her head."I missed you," she said snuggling c
Aramina looked at the man sitting in front of her, she looked nothing like him, his pupils had the enchanting gold that she was starting to get used to, his hair was midnight black and even when it seems his eyes were sad, and it had the seriousness of one who had seen the worst of life.“What do you want to say to me, Alpha Recdolf?” she asked him.She could hear his heart quicken as he stared at her.“Chloe” he saidAramina scrunched up her face in confusion, “what”, “It’s Chloe, that’s what we named you before we saw you.” Alpha Recdolf looked at her. Aramina could see the longing and regret in his eyes.“Your mother was always sick on the sixth month of her pregnancy, I couldn’t understand why, most wolves didn’t even see pregnancy as a task to feel sick on, but her own was separate, the whole of the sixth month was scary. Sometimes, she would stop breathing and only her warm body will signal that she was alive. She had your fiery personality, so she fought. After watching her on
"Try it again," Aramina’s stepmother, Grace told the shop attendant.This was the third shop so far and she was already frustrated."I think the account is frozen ma. You can go and visit the bank to confirm." the shop attendant told her, looking at her sympathetically, and handing over the black card to her.“That is not possible, I have been using this account for years" She exclaimed in shock.Grace stomped out of the shop angrily, she headed for her hotel, and with the way the card was behaving, she needed to travel back to Crescent Hill and get this sorted out. As she got to the hotel, she demanded her key card but the receptionist reminded her that she had not renewed her payment for the day since she upgraded her room two days ago.Grace gritted in frustration, she told them to bring down her luggage and the receptionist pointed to the corner of the hall.Grace glared at her angrily, picked up her bag and left. She was lucky she booked a one way return ticket.Aramina entered s
