He and She
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Maverick squinted at the moon, his brows somewhat furrowed in a frown. His friend, Lucas, walked idly behind, contemplating.
"Are you still mad at me about Lily?"
The Alpha continued to walk, ignoring Lucas's question while glimpses of his beloved invaded his mind. He tuned out Lucas, savouring every piece of her in his memory.
Her vibrant laughter rang softly in his ears, sending an arrow straight to his heart.
'Goddess! How I miss—'
The Alpha shifted his gaze toward the dark woods before them. They were drawing closer to the border that separated the two packs long before Maverick could even walk.
His jaw clenched as a faint scent wafted through his nose. It was a very familiar and enticing smell, one that Maverick could never mistake to be anyone else's.
Straightening his back and narrowing his gaze toward the border, Maverick turned to Lucas and, without exchanging words, gestured for him to walk faster.
"What?" Lucas asked, his ears picking up the sound of footsteps. Dry leaves crunched gently as the individuals approaching them purposely walked on light feet, hoping not to draw too much attention.
It was foolish of them to think they could hide their presence. They were approaching a wolf territory.
Forgetting about their feud, Lucas followed Maverick's lead. He snarled at the oncoming group, unable to see them yet. But a strong presence seemed to be among them.
There was no question that the advancing party were also like them.
"Tsk," Lucas spat, garnering a side glance from Maverick. That quick glimpse showed Lucas that something else was going on with the Alpha.
His eyes shone golden, and the muscles by his jaw were tense.
"I don't know what's going on with you," Lucas started, suddenly concerned about Maverick's mental state. "But you know, you can still talk to me before our uninvited guests arrive."
Maverick clicked his tongue. He continued to walk with confident strides, the wind blowing a soft whistle, moulding into a melody in the Alpha's hearing.
The strong, captivating smell he had sensed intensified, giving a halt to Maverick. He blinked, his lips trembling as memories of his beloved resurfaced in his mind's eye.
'Lily,' he thought.
At that moment, three women came and stopped by the border. The lady at the back appeared to be carrying a bundle, which she hugged closely to her chest.
However, Maverick couldn't recognize them except for one.
Jordane suddenly got lost in her thoughts. She had been thinking about what she was to say to convince the Alpha and let the mother and child stay.
'If he didn't want the mother, then maybe the child can be taken in at least. He should personally tend to him.'
However, standing face to face with the esteemed Alpha, her eyes grew wide, and her heart thumped crazily inside her chest. She remembered every minute and every second of their initial encounter.
She had sensed that he was powerful. Yet, Jordane was not prepared to meet him again. This time, she had nowhere to run.
And he was not alone. The man with him didn't radiate the same authoritative energy, but he was as muscular as the Alpha.
Together, Jordane and Livvy stood no chance against the two male wolves. Plus, they had to protect the mother and child.
If things went south, Jordane could only hope that her father had a backup plan at the very least.
Sensing that Jordane was close to hyperventilating, Livvy edged closer to her, taking her hand in hers and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"They are definitely my type," Livvy whispered. She wriggled her brows at the two men, masking how her heart drummed wildly inside her chest.
Jordane snapped out of her reverie, clenching her hands into fists to get herself to focus.
Clearing her throat, Jordane took a step forward. The tip of her toe was only an inch away from crossing the invisible line that separated the two werewolf packs. Her hammering heart made it difficult to find the words to say.
But Jordane knew she had to get a grip, or everything that she had done tonight would be nothing but in vain.
'That will be the last straw that I need.'
"It's you," Maverick spoke first, surprising both parties. He just undoubtedly admitted that he knew Jordane. Now how he would explain that to Lucas, Maverick had no idea where to begin.
But he will trouble himself about that later. Right now, he must save face and think fast on his feet.
"I am sure you are aware of where we are," Maverick continued, his tone turning cold.
Jordane scoffed at the shift.
'I knew it,' Jordane thought bitterly. 'He was too good to be true,' she grimaced. But then, her heart didn't stop thrumming inside her chest. She wanted to reach out to the Alpha and touch every part of him.
"Gross," Jordane gasped, belatedly realizing that she had spoken out loud. However, instead of trying to redeem herself, she lifted her chin, defiantly meeting the Alpha's brazen gaze.
"Stop looking like you are about to devour me," Jordane spoke. Her friend squeezed her hand again, silently squealing as the former could imagine what the exchange looked like from her perspective.
Maverick scoffed and then smirked. He denied getting offended by Jordane's seemingly challenging response.
However, he couldn't deny how tempting it was to come closer and touch her skin. Their previous encounter left him needing and wanting to see her again. And now that they did, he couldn't act out the idea that he kept getting every time he looked at her.
"A confident woman," Maverick mused, shifting his cold, dark gaze toward the woman behind, who was holding a white bundle.
Now that he managed to get used to the scent that still left him dazed with the desire to pull the beautiful, charismatic she-wolf before him, Maverick came to realize what the bundle was.
He narrowed his gaze, teeth bared as he addressed the woman at the back.
"Whoever you are, woman," Maverick snarled. "Get lost. That child is not mine."

Clenching her hands as she tried to stop her rapidly beating heart, Jordane eyed the Alpha. She clicked her tongue, rolling her eyes in response to the Alpha’s sudden outburst.“Of course you would assume that,” Jordane eyed him up and down, getting a nudge from her side. Livvy leaned in, looking horrified.“What are you doing?” her friend demanded. Jordane only gave her friend a sideways glance but said nothing in return. She hoped the latter would understand that she had no time to explain.Livvy cleared her throat, letting Jordane know she finally understood what was happening. Standing idly beside her, they acted like a shield, concealing the woman and her baby before the Alpha and his beta.“Only an idiot would do such a thing, woman,” the Alpha snickered, not oblivious to how Jordane was reacting to his presence.Beyond what the eye could see, he could almost sense her heart breathing in synchrony with his, creating a melody that only they could hear.

My Dear Alpha One fateful night
Thin, cold rain hadn’t stopped pouring since the crisp starless night had fallen in Telesiya, a faraway kingdom in the North. Crickets echoed from the thicket of trees in the abandoned forest near the farmland of the Rowan, a meager family of four. The smell of wet grass and mud hid the strong odor from the inside of the small house in the middle of the vast land. The animals in the barn lay lifeless on the ground. Their eyes were open and hollow, and blood gushed out from their slit throats. The rain and the occasional thunder rumbling from the skies couldn’t hide the growls from the monsters with thick furs roaming and searching the forest for any survivors. Bright golden eyes widened in fear as two sisters—one was sixteen and the other eighteen, lay hidden under a fallen tree that served as a bridge to a big gaping hole in the ground. Nessie Rowan, the younger of the two, held onto her sister’s hands tightly. In response, Natalia pulled Nessie closer to her. Their frail bodies
My Dear Alpha The Ritual
Smoke rose to the sky as the bonfire crackled and was continually fed by sticks and dry leaves. A small circle of unmated wolves gathered around the fire. The tall canopy of trees that surrounded them swayed lightly to the cool breeze that whistled once in a while. Three of the council of seven stood in the dark, watching, observing, and had no intention to meddle unless it was necessary. In the middle of the circle, Esmeralda Samael stood reverently, taking note of the faces of the young wolves in their pack. She also noticed how her daughter was yet to present herself in the crowd. But as midnight approached, Esmeralda knew she had to begin the ritual with or without Jordane. Jordane had recently turned nineteen. Esmeralda remembered her youth. She was mated when she was sixteen and had her firstborn that year. A little while later, a soft rustling echoed from the right side of the forest. Esmeralda subtly turned in that direction and saw Livvy join the circle with Jorda
My Dear Alpha The Alpha
The lake glistened, displaying the beautiful blanket of stars above. Ripples occasionally danced on the surface, disturbing the stillness as the soft breeze whistled silently. Various trees of every kind stood around, protecting the quiet place before the crunching of angry footsteps burst forth from one side of the forest. With heavy, ragged breaths, Jordane came to a halt. She let her head hang for a minute before bending over, her hands on her knees. She ran as fast as she could, hoping to distance herself as far away as possible. Recovering from the uncalled-for escape, Jordane dragged herself to the edge of the lake. The image of a girl with startling golden eyes stared back at her. Her hair was a mess, and against the moonlight, she rather looked pale. "Dammit," Jordane muttered. Now that the adrenaline had left her, she felt the sting from the minor cuts on her legs. They were itching and numbing like ant bites. Sitting by the bank, Jordane broke her reflection as sh

The sun had barely peeked on the horizon, but Maverick was already out of breath. His chiseled chest was bathed with sweat. A soft wind blew in his ears, influencing the smirk that crossed his lips while he narrowed his gaze at his opponent. Wearing only their leather pants, Maverick and Lucas sparred near the forest close to their territory. "Who's she?" Lucas squinted at his friend. He noticed something different about him last night and would like to assume he was keeping something from him. Images of the mysterious woman popped into Maverick's mind. He got distracted, and Lucas didn't let that slip. He charged at him, pushing Maverick to the ground. Maverick fell on his back with a grunt. His chest rose and fell as he heaved in and out while Lucas loomed over him, a smirk on his lips. "Are you going to talk, or do you want me to squeeze the details from you?" Maverick snorted. He hauled himself to get back on his feet. Lucas offered him help. The former accepted it, dusti
My Dear Alpha Vision
The young wolf stifled a yawn, playing with the sun’s rays that slipped between her slender fingers. She placed one arm under her head, letting the shade of the live oak planted before she was born hide her from the sun’s harmful glare. Jordane lay flat on the ground, the grass tickling her skin. The events from last night would have been forgotten if not for the vivid images of the fine-looking Alpha she met by accident. The soft rustle of someone approaching disrupted her lustful thoughts. When Jordane looked up, Livvy’s silhouette had blocked the sun’s rays that she had been playing with. Eyeing her friend thoughtfully, Jordane considered the messy glory of Livvy’s hair and the visible sparkle in her bright eyes. “Oh. My…” Jordane sat up, grabbing Livvy to sit with her. The latter chuckled, yelping one ‘oof’ when her butt hit the ground. “Goddess! What happened? Give me the juice but not in full detail.” Livvy smacked her lips, tracing an invisible zipper on them, causing t

The latter lowered his head, greeting the other. “Gael,” the second man spoke. He slowly lifted his head, locking gazes with Gael, one of the elder wolves in their pack. “Seiko,” Gael replied, tapping the younger wolf's shoulder. “I bring news,” Seiko replied.

Muffled voices and a damp, cold towel pressed to her skin woke Jordane. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, taking in the worried faces above hers.Her mother was the first to sigh with relief, thanking the goddess before staring down at her daughter.“You made us all panic, and for a moment, I thought I would be a grandmother.”Jordane’s eyes widened at her mother’s claim; she immediately caught sight of Livvy, who pretended to check her nails, avoiding eye contact. “Well, wouldn’t that be a dream come true?” she muttered, lacing with as much sarcasm as she could, removing the cloth from her forehead. Jordane grunted as she pulled herself to sit up. She craned her neck to the side, peeking at the window behind her mother’s shoulder. Night had already fallen, and Jordane could hardly remember what had happened. She cleared her throat, eyeing Livvy pointedly.

My Dear Alpha The border
Dry leaves scrunched beneath their feet, and the faint howl of the night owls echoed in the still woods. Jordane stared at the skies, her heart beating like crazy. She heaved out a silent, heavy sigh, receiving a slight to her right ribs afterwards,Livvy had edged closer to Jordane, her eyes warily shifting toward the exhausted mother walking behind them. There were only four of them, as per Jordane's request, and they were headed toward the boundary separating them from the other werewolf pack. Although no formal letter was sent to inform the Alpha of the pack they were approaching, Jordane must find a way to get him to talk with her face-to-face. That was part of the condition her father had agreed to. Whether the other Alpha decides to kill the mother and child would be out of Jordane's father's concern."Stop scowling," Livvy hissed in Jordane's ears. Her feet hurt from walking, and they couldn't afford to rest until they reached their destination. "Didn't you want this?" Li
My Dear Alpha No fear
The town market buzzed with life during midday when the sun was high, and the heat was on. It was where all creatures mingled, each hiding their true nature. Salazar pulled the hood of his jacket closer, ducking his head as he ventured through the crowd. Although no one would burn him alive if they learned that he was not entirely human, he had been accustomed to avoiding looking at anyone in particular when he was in public. Part of the curse he was given was to see a person's lifespan. As much as possible. Salazar had been cautious not to make eye contact or accidentally bump into anyone. His power to see the future sometimes becomes a little too much that he has no control over it. Seeing the red eyesore of a door down a few blocks from where he was, Salazar sighed with relief. He put power to his feet and moved quickly, maneuvering his way to get past the people who seemed to be walking like dead persons in front of him. Despite hurrying his way to meet with the wise, old

The wind whistled enthusiastically in Jordane’s ears. Her legs strained to keep up with the escaped pregnant wolf who went straight for the woods.“Sometimes I really find the young ones kind of idiotic,” she mumbled, catching her breath. Jordane surveyed their surroundings, wary not to cross the border again, whether accidentally or intentionally.‘Although, crossing paths with that gorgeous Alpha wouldn’t be too bad,’ she thought, surprised by it. Ashamed and alarmed, Jordane banished the image of the handsome man from her thoughts.“Focus!”The other wolf had run faster than Jordane anticipated. She could feel her muscles staining at the effort.Jordane looked up, disappointed that the moon wasn’t at its fullest. She would have loved to morph into her wolf. It would make the chase much easier.But more than that, she wanted to know what the other wolf was thinking.
