"This is wrong" That's all what David could think, his head hurts but those countless negative thoughts wouldn't stop repeating in his head.Drops of water touched his skin, relaxing his body for a while but there's nothing which could help him relax his mind.He rubbed every part of his skin where Herrick left his mark, he just wants to get rid of them but the pressure made it even more red.He groaned, avoiding this for now and walked out of the shower.Wrapping the towel securely around his torso, he stepped out of the bathroom.To add onto his frustration, Herrick was still in the room, probably waiting for him.David avoided him completely and quickly got changed.Herrick stayed quiet, patiently waiting for David to get done with his business so he could talk about the event that happened earlier but David's behavior made it hard for him to start a conversation.
Still Herrick tried only to get ignored by him.David left the room leaving a worried and sad Herrick in
"I, David Jonathan, Beta of Red Moon Pack rejects—"David don't!" A very familiar stern voice cut off David's words mid sentence.That voice belongs to none other than his Alpha, Lucian who had sensed David's worry earlier when he visited him in the room.Lucian had followed his beta when the man abruptly left the room and happened to overhear the pair's conversation which shook him from inside.Forcing your mate to submit and completing the mating process is forbidden in this Pack which is why Lucian felt disappointed yet angry.He could've just attacked Herrick for committing a sin but he resisted the urge, not wanting to take actions without knowing both of their perspective.His human side has more control over such matters because some decisions in anger could do the major damage.Hence, he stopped David before the man could take such a big decision of his life out of anger and we never know what future holds for us.Rejection is way painful process th
Next Morning —I woke up in a really good mood, there are two reasons for it.First, I turned 18 and might have my wolf because of those voices I've been hearing in my head.Second, I'll be able to find my mate.I smiled looking at my reflection in the mirror, the word mate made me happy and I find myself recalling the events of last night with Lucian.I could feel myself heating up when his face appeared in my head.I shrugged all the thoughts and head downstairs for breakfast.I walked in the dining area but there was only Herrick, quietly eating his breakfast.'Where are David and Lucian?' I wondered while taking a seat next to Herrick who looked lost in deep thoughts.I couldn't help but wonder what could have stressed him."Herrick, Is everything alright?" I asked before placing my palm on his shoulder to provide some sort of comfort.He shook his head and smiled which I know was forced."Is there somethi
"Be careful up there" Lucian warned one of the warrior before making his back to the selected area where all the new shifters were present with their parents or guardians.He had commanded every single warrior and wolves to be on alert.After double checking everything, he was satisfied with the security.With each step he took, he could feel his heart picking up a beat.It did not take Lucian seconds to sense his mate's scent.His eyes scanned the whole field, silver orbs searching for his mate's ocean eyes.He knew that she had turned 18 the moment her scent turned stronger, too hard for the said man to control every urge of his body that just want to feel the warmth of her.If her scent was not already intoxicating, it became even more that his wolf was doing everything in his power to take control.Lucian knew he might end up doing something that he would regret out of his desire, man had to leave the house as soon as possible to prevent Scarlett from his strong de
Lucian -I ran as fast as I could, giving the control to my wolf as per to let him search Scarlett easily.There is no way, Scarlett's wolf attacked Hunter for no reason.Something must have had happened for her to lose temper and react harshly.My breathing turned uneven, the sound of my heart beat matched with the thumping sound of my foots as I continued running and let my wolf guide me to Scarlett.I stopped and looked around while trying to catch my breath.Scarlett's scent is way too strong and it's all over this place but there's no glimpse of her.My eyes moved to scan every single inch of this place until it directly stopped at the lake.My heart almost stopped realizing that she had fainted and fell in the lake.My eyes widened and my wolf screamed in my head.MATE! With fast steps, I ran towards the lake and jumped in it without a second thought.The water was unusually cold as if it would freeze me to death.I hold in my breath and opened my eyes
Lucian who had fallen asleep on the couch was forced to jolt awake when the high pitch scream of Scarlett reach his ear.With ceased brows and wide eyes, he rushed towards Scarlett who was still on the bed, mumbling incoherent words in her sleep.Her shivering figure did not go unnoticed by Lucian who sat at the edge of the bed before taking a hold of her hand which were unusually cold.'N-no…no.. Don't' Her weak voice which sounds like a plea now could be heard clearly. "Scarlett…wake up" He slightly shook her shoulder, she was jolt awake and gasped for air.Lucian quickly grabbed the glass of water that was on the side table and brought it closer to her lips as her hands were still shaking.She slowly gulped down the water.Lucian placed the glass back on the table and cupped her left cheek before moving his other hand to wrap around her shoulder.She hugged him tightly without wasting any other second."I don't want to stay here..
David - HerrickAfter Alpha announced Scarlett as his mate, the pack didn't dare to say anything against it.David who was done with his work, stood up and left the Pack House.It was already evening and would get dark within minutes, his wolf begged to be released for a while as he hadn't let the wolf take over after the stunt he had done with Herrick.He sigh at the thought of Herrick, would it be worth giving their bond a chance?David walked into the woods and when he was sure that there's no danger, stripped himself before letting his wolf take control.He felt stress free and lively as his wolf ran deeper into the woods, enjoying the cold breeze that hit his face.He feels much better, relieved to be exact.After running for an hour or so, his wolf laid on the ground.Staring at the sky as it was dark already but the sky looked beautiful at such hour.He find himself relaxing and shut his eyes close.A while la
For the next few days, Scarlett succeeded in avoiding every single opportunity to face Lucian.She is still having a war in her head, a complicated one to be exact which makes her feel like she might not be able to find a conclusion.One side, her head is filled with those scenarios which hurts her every time but then the other side, the moments she had spent with Lucian from the past few days flashes in front of eyes.How could she not be confused?'Mate mate mate' Her wolf chanted excitedly in her head after sensing his strong intoxicating scent.She quickly got off the couch and made her way upstairs back to her room but this time her wolf was furious at her behaviour.Scarlett might not want to see Lucian but her wolf can't bear the torture of not having a glimpse of her mate.Her wolf easily took control as Scarlett's human form was still a beginner to adjust and learn how to control better.Her eyes turned the shade of golden and red a
Scarlett informed Lucian about the little girl as soon as he was back in the house.With furrowed brows he followed Scarlett to her room. "Do you know her?" Scarlett asked when Lucian walked in the room to check up on the little girl.He was confused as he had never seen this girl in the pack before. "I'll ask the pack members if any of them know her" Lucian informed before mind-linking the Pack members.While he was zoned out, Scarlett sat at the edge of the bed after noticing the little movements from the girl.She woke up and looked around, still terrified. "Hey.. it's okay, you're safe..Can you tell us your name and anything about your parents so we could help you find them?" Scarlett spoke softly to the little girl. "I'm Aesha and my dad...m-my dad" She started crying hard which made Scarlett worried and Lucian snapped himself out of the mind link. "What happened to your dad?" Lucian asked but the girl wouldn't st
Herrick - DavidDragging his feet towards his room, David opened the door and his gaze dropped on the figure of his mate Herrick who was standing near the window, staring outside.David slowly shut the door behind and tip toed towards Herrick and wrapped his arms tightly around him from behind, surprising Herrick with his Herrick let out a soft chuckle before trailing his hand on top of David's."What are you thinking?" David asked, resting his chin on the ladder's shoulder and snuggled his face in the crook of his neck before inhaling his sweet scent. "We didn't had time to know each other properly..All I know about you is just your title as Beta of this Pack while I told you almost everything about me.." Herrick said, stroking the soft skin of David.Upon hearing Herrick's words, David retreat his head away from Herrick's shoulder and gently turned him around. "We have all the time to ourselves now" Saying, David placed a chaste kiss on Herrick's lips.A beautiful smile formed on his
We quickly cleaned ourselves and changed into comfortable outfits before heading to the Pack House.As soon as we entered the living room, my gaze dropped on the Witches whilst Alpha Logan and Kayra stood there talking to them along with Herrick and David.Upon sensing our arrival, they fixed their attention on us as we approached them.Lucian walked towards Alpha Logan and discussed the activity with him while I stood next to Kayra who happened to sense my worry."It's hard to trust, I know" She said and I just nodded.Soon after Lucian took the ought and witches followed.Each one of them took the ought along with Kayra.I walked towards Lucian and stood next to him after it was done.He smiled to reassure me."We will start providing blood from the end of this month" Lucian announced.Witches looked at Kayra and she reassured them.They all left right away whilst Kayra thanked Lucian for his gratitude."We will take our leave now, so Herrick you coming with us?" Alpha Logan asked.Herrick s
I yelped in pain, clutching onto him tightly and shut my eyes close.He thrust his hip forward, making me gasp at the friction between my legs.I felt the strong urge to remove the fabric that was covering his bottom which is preventing me to feel him skin to skin.His hand moved to my chest, squeezing my right boob from time to time.I moaned when pain replaced with pleasure on my neck.My head feel dizzy and my whole body shivered underneath him."L-Lucian" I stuttered.He was done marking me and lift his head up to look at me. "I'm here, hmm" He said softly and caressed my face.I nodded whilst my chest heaved up and down.I feel anxious and overwhelmed.Noticing tears in my eyes, he lift me up and made me sit on his lap with my legs on either side of him."It'll be alright" He said, taking me in his embrace and rubbed my back.I rest my head on his shoulder and shut my eyes to calm myself."It's your turn, it'll be over in no time once you seal the bond" He said and stroked my hair.I nodde
With flushed cheeks, I continued rubbing myself against his thigh.I felt so timid under his intense gaze.His hand moved to palm my hips, I moaned at the friction, resisting the urge to roll my eyes because of immense pleasure."You look such a pretty mess, so fucking good on my thigh" Lucian's words were making me feel even more needy.He brought my hand closer to his mouth and licked a stripe up to my fingers before taking it in his mouth.My legs were shaking at this point."Nghh Fuck" I cursed, feeling the knot in stomach.My eyes trailed down to his semi hard dick.I palmed his dick, making him flinch lightly and his hold on my hip tightened.Stroking the tip of his shaft with my thumb, I trailed down and took him in my hand before jerking him off.He groaned heavily and rest his head on my shoulder whilst I fastened my pace.I was already close to my another climax.I let go off his dick, earning a groan of dissatisfaction.I was panting heavily after releasing all over his thigh.After
Our lips mold together into a sweet kiss which lasted for a short while as Lucian pulled away and stroked my cheek with his thumb before showing me his beautiful smile.As much as I felt the urge to lock our lips again, his tired self is not something I could avoid.I shoved all the nasty thoughts at the back of my head and reciprocated the smile.I pulled myself away from him, missing the warmth his body provided and grabbed the shampoo bottle before opening the cap and poured some on my palm.I rubbed it between my palms before lifting my hands up to reach Lucian's head.Moving my hand through his hair, I massaged his scalp for a while which earned a couple of soft hums from him.I couldn't help but feel giddy after noticing the way he is relaxing.I ran my finger to his jaw before peppering a few butterfly kisses on the side of his neck.Although I'm trying to keep my cravings at bay, the sparks and his strong scent is making it hard for me to not want him right at the moment.I breathed
Scarlett - Although I offered to shower together, I could not help but feel nervous.Showering together is more intimate than sex and I haven't even gone past from kissing.Why didn't I thought of this earlier.I took a deep breath and grabbed two bathrobes from Lucian's closet.He was still downstairs as Herrick and David were taking out their luggage.Once they are gone, I would be left alone with Lucian.The thought itself made me shiver.I am excited yet nervous.I was so lost thinking of all these that the presence of Lucian went unnoticed by me.It was his arms that wrapped around me, breaking my chain of thoughts.His scent engulfed me, helping me relax in his embrace.He rest his chin on my shoulder and brushed his lips against my ear."We can shower separately if you are doubting the idea." He spoke ever so softly."I'm just a little nervous.." I spoke out my thoughts.He swayed me side to side while tightening his grip around me from behind and honestly it felt so good.I feel safe.
Upon reaching the place, I was hit with a sudden ache in my heart.The amount of lives we lost is really heart breaking.I didn't realize the tear that rolled down my cheek until I felt a thumb across my face.I shifted my gaze to Lucian as he gently wiped my tear.I could sense he wasn't feeling any better either.I blinked back the tears and watched how his hand trailed down to hold mine.I gave his hand a gentle squeeze before walking with him.The Pack mourned for the lives we lost.The funeral was sweet sorrow, for in those moments of raw pain.Pack members smiled with tears in their eyes as they exchanged stories and reminisced the good times they shared with the deceased.Listening their words managed to set a heavy feeling in my heart.I could not help but feel guilty and at fault for the loss they had.But I have to keep my mind and heart strong because Lucian as Alpha must be feeling terrible.The guilt of not being able to protect his Pack warriors must be killing him inside.He migh
Scarlett - ( At the Pack House )Walking in the living room, my eyes roamed around the room until I spotted three unfamiliar faces sitting on the pouch, talking to Alpha Logan.I could sense the scent of Alpha blood reeking from three of them.Upon sensing our presence in the room, they avert their attention on us and smiled after realizing it's Lucian.Three of them got up and passed Lucian a genuine smile which he reciprocated."Lucian, my friend" The one who was tallest amongst them all, exclaimed whilst approaching Lucian.He had a refreshing smile on his face as he bundled Lucian into a hug.He patted his back lightly before pulling away and looked at me."Alpha Max here" He offered his hand for a handshake and I gladly did before introducing myself as well.He smiled and brought my hands towards his mouth but Lucian slapped his hand away, causing my hand to drop at sudden action.Honestly I'm glad Lucian did this because it felt so uncomfortable.It might be a gesture for greeting but I
Lucian's confused yet anger filled eyes looked up at Mike then back at me."Lucian, he is Mike..The Coven Prince, he helped me to get back here" I explained to prevent Lucian from reacting harshly towards Mike at the fact of him being a Vampire.Lucian nodded but his dark gaze stayed locked at our hands.I tried to get rid of Mike's grip upon sensing Lucian's jealousy but he had already stepped forward and stood in front of Mike before grabbing his wrist and forcing him to release my wrist.Lucian held my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine whilst keeping his gaze locked with Mike.Both were throwing daggers at each other.The environment of the room was getting thick, filled with tension."Lucian, did you find Alpha Logan?" I asked, in hope to cut the thick tension between these two.Judging from their expressions, it looks like they are ready to kill each other."He is at the Pack House." Lucian said and I nodded.I think I should just tell him about Mike being my vampire mate.He
