Caliana's POV"Then why hasn't he officially rejected you, yet?" I have thought about that too. If he wanted me out of his life, he could have easily rejected me. A rejection is done face to face. He could have completely severed the bond and spared me the pain but it just showed how vicious he was by not doing that. He wanted to torment me still, he wanted me to feel pain every time he fucked her. "To plague me, maybe," I sighed. "But he has no reason to, you didn't hurt him at all," "I don't understand Edward's way of thinking honestly and I don't even want to. I just want to forget him," I did but it wouldn't be this easy because of the pain I feel each time he is with another woman. I hated to think about it. "But what if there is a conspiracy to break you two apart?" "Oh dear, cupid, there was no scheme, he has another Luna as we speak right now," I could almost taste the bitterness on my tongue as I spat those words. I remember crying when Emilia told me that Candace is his
Candace's POVLittle Love ran to me and wrapped her small arms around my waist. "Mommy, I missed you," Love and Caliana had a great relationship, while I didn't. I inhaled and got one knee to hug her "I missed you too, how was camp," I asked. "It was so cool! Thank you for letting me go!" She jumped up and down. I stood up and asked the chef to prepare some food and when I went to my bedroom, she followed. What?! I groaned inwardly. Love told me every little detail that happened at the camp and I always repressed a groan or rolled my eyes. I don't understand kids honestly, what's so special about dancing and telling stories around the campsite? "I met a cute boy and his name is Ellis, he's so cute and he gave me a tulip!" She exclaimed and I gasped, mirroring her expressions and clapping. I opened my arms and she hugged me. "So tell me about this boy," "He's so adorable but way older than me so we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend," She told me and I narrowed my gaze at her"What
Caliana's POV"The Gem ball is held at least once in six months, it is a celebration for not only the harem ladies but all the ladies in the pack, they all wear the best designer gowns, only bright colors by the way and people will vote who is the prettiest," Pauline explained to me. We were in a clothes store in town, rummaging through all the dresses fiercely. She popped her head out and frowned "Unfortunately, Deloras wins every year," I scowled and groaned at the mention of that woman. As beautiful as she was, she was rotten inside. "Why is everyone buzzing about this gathering, it's just a stupid ball where girls kill themselves to impress men with dresses and others die due to failure of breathing, it's like we are back in early centuries!" "Well, the winner is usually Alpha Blanco's favorite and there is a possibility she might be his Luna," "So they just want to impress Blanco? What about the others who are not part of the harem," "They hope to be invited in the harem, be
Edward's POV "You're not my mommy," Love said suddenly, and all eyes on the table turned to her and then Cali, I think? I didn't miss how her heartbeat hitched. She immediately stood up and went to Love's side, getting on one knee but my daughter didn't let her touch her and ran to me, I held her. "She's not Cali, daddy," She was more convinced than ever. I didn't doubt my daughter because everything has been off lately with 'Caliana,' My brothers were stunned. " Love whatever do you mean?" "Hey sweetheart, what do you mean? That's Cali," Marcus said, seeing how upset Love was. "But she's not MY Cali, my mommy,' She exclaimed, growling. All blood drained from Caliana's face and my Lycan stirred in my mind. He was snarling. I didn't move or say a word, I didn't know what to say. She was Caliana, and everything about her was my mate'But?' Ward asked. 'Her eyes, her laugh, Caliana's had a certain tone to it, it was short and low, the tingles,' I countered. What the fuck was goin
Edward's POV I was mortified. I was fucking ashamed that I lived with a woman for more than a month that wasn't my real luna. My heart constricted in my chest and all I wanted to do was scream in rage or breakdown into darkness, however, I couldn't right now so I did the best thing I could. I grabbed a bedside lamp and threw it against the wall and it broke into pieces. Soon, the other furniture followed. I sat in the dark room, cursing myself at what I did. My mate probably thinks the worst of me and she should, how can I ever face her after what I did? After the pain, I put her through. I buried my face into my hands, and all emotional strength left me by now. The door soon opened and my brother, Jamal, walked in. He sighed at the sight of my room and got on one knee in front of me. " It's not your fault, Edward," He assured me but I scoffed. " I was fooled, again, and I don't know where my mate is, I'm sure she thinks the worst of me. My Caliana hates me," " Candace planned this
Edward's POV"Alpha Edward, what brings you here so late at night?" The head patrol warriors asked. A few warriors now surrounded him, ready for anything. "I'm here for my mate," I said. Jamal cleared his throat and gestured for me to stay quiet, he knew I didn't have time to converse or linger. "Good evening gentlemen, as my brother said, we are here to see your new Alpha," My brother said. The warriors exchanged wary glances and Jamal spoke again,"As you may know, she is my brother's mate and they had a misunderstanding as all lovers do, he just wants to speak to her, we come in peace," He explained patiently. My brother had a thing for people no wonder we worked well together, while I was irrational, he was calm. His aura made people listen and trust him. The head of the patrol nodded in understanding. His eyes darkened, showing that he was mind-linking, someone, maybe Caliana. "I'm sorry Alphas, but we can't let you in," He said apologetically. I didn't have time for this. Befo
Edward's POVEvelyn said Caliana is in the Northern region, however, didn't say exactly which pack because they didn't tell them. The North has over eighty packs and my mate is in one of them. I was, we shall stay with my cousins, king Leondre and Arya in the Sapphire royal Lycan pack while there. I was anxious the whole way there and didn't know what to do. We got there in four hours and as soon as we landed, I let out a sigh and descended the stairs. Arya wrapped her arms around me and I hugged her before greeting my aunt, uncle, and king Leondre.We drove to the castle. An hour later. Soon, we are informed that lunch is ready.After lunch, I told my family what happened, while they gave me comforting stares, Leondre gave me the one that said, 'I told you this would happen,'"We'll find your mate if she is anywhere in this area, don't worry," My cousin said. I nodded at her.In the evening, Arya took me to her manor to meet her triplets, and seeing the kids giggle and play with her d
Edward's POV"Alpha Edward," A voice from the shadows called, and we turned to the voice. The man in the shadow was wearing a robe that covered his face and I could smell the stench of death all the way there. "Amacus, in the flesh," Anaiah muttered. "Of course, my dear, you have something of mine," He told her. What was going on? I opened my senses and that's when I sensed it, dark magic engulfed this whole area. The man he called Amacus had witches next to me and the rogues were being controlled by them. "You were too young to remember this but you mistakenly took my magic and the only way to get it back is... Draining it out of you," He chuckled. Anaiah was in pain as the dark magic was directed at her. I must admit that she was a strong one to even exchange words with this man. "I don't like the sound of that so... I'll pass," The Queen shrugged. "Alpha Edward, leave if you want to see your mate again," Amacus said and I was stunned by his word, how did he know about my mate?
RileyFor the first time in over three years, I slept peacefully. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to gunshots, threats, or a beating. I was safe, In my mate's home. I was running away from Labrone a few nights ago when I came across this pack. I knew exactly which pack this was; everyone did but I ran in here anyway or else, Labrone's gang members would have found me and taken him back to him. I couldn't go back, Labrone didn't care about this child, all he cared about was having an heir to succeed him in all his dirty deals and I refuse to bring a child into this world for that business. ' He will not stop looking until he finds you,' My lycan sighed, she was tired as I was of all the shit we've been through and was only happy to find her mate. ' We'll hide, and if Garret rejects us, we'll go far from here and start anew,' I told her and she whimpered at the thought of our mate renouncing us. ' he won't reject us!' ' We are having another man's pup. No one will blame
I inhaled and exhaled, running a hand through my hair. " I think I should go," she said in a quiet voice." No, please. It's not safe out there with this weather," I said. The hurt look she gave me made me feel anxious in the pit of my stomach, " Follow me," All this was weird for me. My mate was at my house. What happens now? ' So what if she's pregnant,' Koen who was stunned into silence finally spoke. ' I can't, not in her condition, C'mon,' I said. ' She's ours, Garret and I want her,' he was solemn. I left the room as soon as I showed her how to use the bathroom, and went downstairs to prepare a hot meal for her. I don't remember how to use half of the things in the kitchen, so I Facetime Caliana to help me but like me, she's not too good in matters of the kitchen. " Why don't you eat from here?" She asked. " I found her," I suddenly said. She froze for a while before a smile broke on her face. "You found your mate?" " Yes," I confirmed. She was going to scream but didn'
My Lycan was whimpering. ' stop it, you're annoying me,' I snarled at him. ' Let's find her,' he said but I shook my head. He wouldn't stop bugging me so I stood up and grabbed my keys before leaving the warm apartment. It had started raining now ' I'm going back, I'm not braving this weather for a woman I don't know,' I declared. ' No, we'll just check in the alleys, town square, maybe also in abandoned buildings where she might take shelter, then we'll go back,' he said. ' My pizza will be so cold when I get back,' I grumbled. 'Forget about the fucking pizza and think of that poor woman,' Koen said. ' Since when do we care about people,' ' There is something about her and I want to know what,' he said quietly. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Koen was acting strange today. The valet brought me my car and we drove through every street near the hospital. The Golden Stone was the largest pack in the region and if she left this area, there was a chance we won't find her but
GarretI never cared much for love or women. I had women, so many but they were just there to satisfy my desires. I was the life of a party, and I lived for myself. I was going home on one Saturday night, running away from all the females that were hovering over me and trying to take advantage of drunk me when a woman hit my car. I grabbed the door open and stepped out, staggering a little as I was still drunk. " Why the fuck was she running into the middle of the road," I murmured. I crouched down to the woman and turned her on her back. I was instantly enchanted by the beauty on the floor. She had smooth flawless honey skin, long lashes, and plump lips. Her eyes were closed and I wished so much she could open them. ' You fucking idiot, you've hit her with the car! Carry her and take her to a fucking doctor!' My inner lycan, Koen, roared. He was frantic. ' Relax, she's not dead. I can hear her heartbeat,' I retorted. I grabbed her and carried her to my car but I was using a sports
JamalI am watching the naked beauty sleep next to me. I can't believe what we did after all that we have been through. All the breakup and running away, the fights and making up.'You fucking bastard, you did it!' My brother beams through the mind link. I look at the ring around my finger. I can't believe we eloped and got married.'How can you deny me this, you know how important it was to see you get married,' Caliana scolds,'I'm sorry, you can throw a small party tomorrow evening but nothing grand like you planned or we'll leave again,' I warn.'Fine,' she concedes.Caliana has been rooting for us since the beginning of our relationship and promised to throw us a lavish wedding but we couldn't stand the pressure so we decided to get married to only a few witnesses there, my niece, Love, and three of her friends. My wife stirs and places her hand over my torso, she opens her eyes only to smile. I kiss her lips before she closes her eyes back to sleep. Pauline wasn't only beautiful,
MarcosMy hunter easily settled in the new apartment, and while she settled, we moved the family dinner another day. My family has been wanting to meet her for a while so we are going there for dinner tonight.I easily got ready in jeans and a white dress shirt. Elaine was getting ready with the help of an assistant since she wanted to make a good impression on my family...She insisted. I was waiting downstairs for her and my jaw dropped when I saw her, she was wearing a beautiful black dress that held her like a glove, she had curves in the right places and her hair was done in a beautiful hairdo that left her neck bare and all I wanted was to sink my teeth in that delicate skin of hers, to mark her as mine but I needed to calm down. I don't even know what we are yet. There is a strong pull between us but well, no one of us has made a move. We leaned in too many times for a kiss but she pulled away each time."So, do I look fine?" She asked. I nodded and extended my hand, she took it.
Marcos"Elaine?" I called as I gently approached her, the beautiful woman finally turned to look at me but I saw so many emotions in her gaze."Are you alright?" I took her chin between my fingers and she nodded."I didn't think you'll come here again," Her voice did things to me and I smiled at her."I was just busy, I would have called but I don't have your number,""I don't have a cellphone," She informed me. I smiled and stroked her hair."Did you miss me?"She scoffed and rolled her pretty eyes " You're not that important, Marcos, ""Aouch, that hurt," I fake hurt dramatically, clutching my chest tightly. She giggled and I froze, it was sweet but to be fair, everything she does is sweet."Have you eaten?"She frowned and nodded. I wasn't too convinced about that so I extended my hand which she took reluctantly. We walked out of the forest. I don't remember when I enjoyed someone's company that much. She stopped when we reached civilization and stared up at me"I don't think I'm su
ElaineMarcos was a beautiful man. I was surprised when he followed me back to the cavern. He wanted to know more about me which I don't remember too well ever since I was taken from my home by those witches. It has been a couple of tough years between being abducted, experimented on, and turned into what I hated most in the world. A wolf.I have been struggling since I escaped the facility. No food or money. I went from place to place trying to survive but my memory was still hazy. My full name came back to me when Marcos asked about it. Marcos, a smile plastered on my lips just thinking about him, he lived in my head. Will he come back to see me? I wish he could, I loved meeting him.I woke up the next morning bright and early, I went to the river to take a bath and wore my dress. I was frivolous and so was the beast inside me, the one that is always snarling. She was calm, hoping Marcos would come but to my disappointment, he didn't and I went back to bed."Today is the day he comes
Marcos"You don't belong here," I told the woman sharply and she yelped, jumping a foot in the air. I jumped down from the tree I was in and she stilled. Her heart was beating so fast but slowly, she steadied it."Turn around," I ordered but she shook her head. I walked toward her when she quickly turned around and threw two daggers at me, I ducked just in time. She was quick for a little thing like herself,"Who are you?" I was curious about her " and what are you doing here?" I questioned. The woman wore a black ensemble that covered her whole face except her eyes. "What's a human doing here," I mused, but I was soon proved wrong when her eyes glowed red. I sniffed the air to catch her scent but she didn't have one."You're a shifter," She only scoffed and got out a bow and arrow I didn't see earlier. She aimed at me and I could tell that they were silver. "Stay away from me," She ordered, carefully trying to back away. Her voice made me smile, it was smooth but commanding, however
