November’s laugh filled his ears and Leonidas soaked into it. He watched her laugh at something the snack vendor said. She was glowing. Pride fills his heart knowing he’s the reason for that glow.
Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes bright, and her smile sweet. “Hey…”
When she turned his world went into slow-mo. It was as if he was falling in love with her all over again.
She said something and he almost didn’t catch it. “What did you say?”
He playfully tugged on her hair, “I said Mrs. November Maximilian looks gre
Leonidas quietly stood beside the bed staring down at November, his wife. The dimness of the room with the waves of the sea were the only sounds between them but the room is filled with tension, it was the kind of tension that makes one think of passion and love. November undid the remaining buttons then spread her hands over his chest, absorbing the warmth of his body and the feel of his heart hammering beneath her palm. She pushed the fabric out of the way, and his shirt fluttered to the floor. Splaying her palms on his chest, she caressed those gorgeous pecs, then his lean muscled shoulders, biceps, and forearms. Her finger nails dragged across the lines of his tattoos.
“Why are you smiling?” Leo grins at his wife, “Are you daydreaming again?” Nicole snorts, turning away from his playful pinching of her cheek. Of course, she was daydreaming once again! They’ve been married for two weeks now and her days are better, safe and her nights were full of passion and intense loving of her husband. They had fallen into a very domestic routine very quickly and are learning more about each other. For November they were very much just like every husband and wife everywhere and she likes the picture their love is portraying. Leo would wake up first most days as he would start his by making love with her as if he couldn’t help it and then falls back right asleep while November st
“Welcome back! Congratulations on your wedding!” Leo scowled as Victor Lyndon just nonchalantly entered his office without even knocking and he didn’t even notice or hear him, what the fuck? What is he a fucking shadow or something? He didn’t even make a sound. Leo straightened and was surprised when instead the former guy got into his face and gave a hug, he was patting Leo’s back. “Congratulations! You look happy! Nice!” Leo pushed him away but the guy looked like a puppy looking for attention, his attention in particular. They aren’t even fucking close.
Time stops for no one. It does not stop one from aging with regrets and what-ifs. Time does not stop for the young and wounded, time does not stop for budding love and broken dreams. Time waits for no one.Not even for Armand Daniel, strongest Alpha and direct descendant of the powerful Jadong Neugdae Pack.His heart thunders in pain and rage as Armand Daniel stares down at a lifeless Hailey, the woman he loves. His mate. Her body scarred, bathing in her blood. His heart bleeds, his wolf howls, his soul shattered.The woman he loves is now gone, dead. And he wasn’t able to do anything to protect her. The mother of his child.
“The truce of the four packs or the Non-Aggression Pact of the North wolves is very important. Our roles are not only to protect not our kin but also our territories, we made important connections, we assist and help each other in order to co-exist in this small world of shifters we worked so hard to raise. Teddy here heads the external level and I do the underground.” “Get to the point, bastard.” Sebastian of Kalte Augen Pack snapped. “Shut the fuck up pretty puppy!” Grey snarled then continued to Alexander, “As I said, connections are so important so we put mules everywhere. Including our enemies and potential enemies but through the years we obviously had neglected Luna Puer and totally ignored them. We underestimated the family drama that keeps on u
Pick up your goddamn phone Leonidas. ANSWER MY CALLS.DAMNIT. PICK UP! Those messages plus the 78 missed calls and voice mails from his brother for the last 72 hours. Concerned, Leo called back. It was answered on the first ring. “Leo!” “Alex? Is everything alright?” Leonidas glanced at his sleeping wife and quietly padded towards the bathroom, making sure he doesn’t wake her up. He was wincing as he made his way, feeling not himself at all. He’s feeling a little sick all of a sudden with his body aching, groaning he rubbed his neck, somehow it feels a litt
“I want them dead,” Nicole muttered, her silver hair being blown by the wind. Tears had dried her eyes, she had been weeping for the past days because of the uprising of her superior wolves against her. They deliberately chose November over her, her who had cloth and given them life for so many years. They still chose November over her. “I want Jennie to be put up into flames. I want her burned until her skin stops healing, I want her burned until her pain has become her friend… burned, just like what those human scientists did to my mother one time…. They were testing our limitations you see…they wanted to know how far shifters can withstand pain…” She chuckled humorlessly, “We can sell Minzy to tho
Armand looked at him and the younger man lifting his fist, pumping it in the air. He looked nonchalant and Grey continued, like an excited kid. “Here’s a piece of very useful information…there’s a coup in the pack. An inside war between the current Alpha Nicole James and the lost Alpha November James’ loyal wolves. An internal war is going on… wolf politics. They’re preparing for war but it’s a war between the sisters. Nicole James probably knew November James is not lost after all and she wants her dead before November thinks of coming back and taking that crown back…” Teddy frowned. Grey smiled, “We all know Nicole is the crazy one. And obviously November’s the good Sis, why would the human marry her right?” he looked thoughtful. “November had been hid
UNDERGROUND ARENA(HOUND FIGHTS FOR SHIFTERS)From a monitor, Nicole watches in glee as a carcass of a leopard shifter were being pulled by the leg by some guys. The arena was still on full blast. Ever since she had sent Eldric and Kai in the arena for hound fights she had been coming tirelessly. She wants to see them kill or get killed slowly just like how Jennie is slowly dying in the Luna Puer Estate.Nicole smiles as Kai curls in a ball inside the metal caged ring. His whole body aches, despite his wounds, cuts and cruises were healing. Some stopped healing at all. When too much trauma were caused in one’s shifter body some wounds will stop healing and turn into scars.
November shut the door quietly, her tears quietly falling down her cheeks. Justice, Victor, and Minzy are not around anymore. She quietly moved towards her room. Intending to lick her own wounds. She has no one to blame but herself after all. She did this to herself. Her choices are her downfall. Her choices made her husband hate her, made Leo see her as a monster. She suddenly felt so tired. Mindlessly she reached for her phone, it blinks in a notification. Three voice mails from her brother-in-law. “November this is where the Tacita Mortes pack draws the line,” Alexander said voice drained of emotions. The lodge in her throat became liquid, she wants t
“November imprinted you, Leonidas.”“Imprint?”“The bite mark at the back of your neck?”Leo’s brows furrowed, he unconsciously reached for it. The bite mark had been there for so long and it never completely heals. It burns when a woman, not his wife was near to him and burns sometimes for some reason he doesn’t understand.His brother sighed. “Sometimes, a wolf-shifter when the wolf inside them took over our consciousness, when we we
November feels like her heart was about to explode, every day for the past week since she last saw her husband. She was mainly afraid of what he might say, especially with his first expression when he found out the truth. He looked so shocked, angry, and disgusted. Now that it has been days and with Alexander helping to shed light in their world and with Minzy being Leo’s everyday caretaker some realizations have obviously sunk in already.Now they had to leave the Northlands and go to Nova Scotia to face Nicole and unite the Luna Puer Pack. Also, their stay in the North Lands will sooner or later be found out by Tacita Mortes Pack and they cannot stay longer. Alexander won’t tell, that much November believes in since Alex wouldn’t betray his younger brother that way. He might choose or be forced to choose by his current circumstances b
Minzy tilts her head, “You did not know about November’s real identity?”Leo laughs bitterly, “All the time we’d spend together is when she’s human.”It was so beguiling for Minzy, truly. She smiles, “All the times she’d been with you, she’d always been a wolf-shifter.”She had never met a human before. When she was young the only person closest to a human she’d interacted with was Victor and he’s a half-breed. Humans had always been either just an entity from another world then they had become a hindrance to their peaceful world. When Nicole reigned the Lunar Puer Pack, humans had b
Wolf November lashed out at another wolf, snapping its neck from the strong clamp of her jaws, her canines digging hard and deep into its opponent’s neck, she tasted his blood and the hitch of its broken breathing and mewling of a dying wolf. Growls and snarls were all over the place as the rest of them jumped into her at the same time. She howls when one bit the back of her hind leg and the other had slashed her back. Her white fur is now bloody as blood from the slashes gushed out. Twisting her body she threw the dead wolf away and slashed the other one. Saliva drips down her mouth as she swiftly moved to crash her body into another wolf, growling and snarling at each other. The other wolf yowls in pain when she bit into its belly, taking a part of its flesh, and watches when
Seeing the shock in his brother’s face Alex could only shake his head. “I get it… I get it, it’s hard to put it all together now. The shock will wear off soon though. Your wife is the same as me… November is a wolf-shifter too, the only difference between us is that she’d been born as one, a natural shifter.”Alex didn’t know how to explain all these unbelievable facts of information to his brother but one thing is for sure, it’s slowly sinking in in Leonidas’ mind. He’d been a witness of it first hand after all.Alexander started explaining, “This world exists… it hides away in plain sight. Not only wolf-shifters but all different kinds of shifters exist, we blend with humans,
Leonidas Maximilian believes he is trapped in some alternate world where everything his wife is saying is all hyperbole. If not it’s a whole big ass prank so he still believes somewhere out there in that white ass room, a hidden camera is recording all of his reactions and his wife is part of this. She did say something about doing something special on that dinner date of theirs.But then memories of that horrendous night keep on coming back. How men in black attacked their house, how his wife was suddenly strong as hell and was able to send him flying with just a flick of her hand. How all those men started turning into something four-legged and his wife did too.Breathless. Leo breathed hard. His
When Alexander Maximilian arrived in his brother’s home everything was in chaos and there was only November left in the middle of it all. All their pieces of furniture are all over the place, broken and stained with blood. He kicked some broken chair out of his way and ignored the broken glasses all over the floor, he stepped into some flesh he could only imagine what was left of one of the attackers. The remaining lights kept on fluttering while some of the busted bulbs were clinging in the ceiling.He reaches the foyer, forcing him to swallow hard with the image presented before him, welcoming him into the home of Leonidas and November Maximilian. Carcasses of wolves arrayed in the bloody marbled floor. His heart latched into his throat seeing November caressing a passed-out Leo lying on her lap.&nbs
