My dreams, his reality (#1) Twenty-two
I wasn't terrified. I was horrified. More than horrified.My world had turned upside down in just a matter of minutes. Harper had stood almost naked in front of me, in nothing but his black boxers, which clung to his waist so well, by the way, and then, in a few minutes, a 6 feet tall, white wolf stood in his place, and looked at me with piercing green eyes. The same green eyes I had started to associate with Harper.Nothing made sense in my head right now. But somehow, I knew that my suspicions were correct, that Harper had indeed changed into a white wolf. How, I didn't know! The tattered remains of the black boxers Harper had been wearing before he transformed were lying on the ground. The piece of the garment must have been shredded to pieces because it couldn't accommodate the large body of the wolf Harper had changed into. And that fact brought me to my other dangerous train of thought.Harper must be going commando right now. I glanced at Harper from the corner of my eyes, a b

I think I was in denial and being so close to Harper didn't help at all. I think my mind rejected the idea of the existence of werewolves right on the spot, even though I conversed with Harper about them like I would, maybe, discuss a fantasy novel.When I got into the safe confines of my own home and the soft sheets of my bed I realized the gravity of the situation. My throat was parched and scratchy due to screaming, my body felt heavy and I couldn't even lift my head. My head pounded and my body felt like it was on fire. I was so exhausted that I felt like I had been hit by a freight train.I didn't know when I fell asleep due to exhaustion but I do know when I woke up, my mom was hovering over me, her eyebrows furrowed in concern."You're burning up!" My mom said while gently touching the back of her hand with my forehead. "What time is it?" I asked while attempting to look out the window, but the simple action made my headache so much I stopped."It's around 4." She gently push

Everything was ready. Harper was supposed to come to my house at 9 when Cody would be at school and my parents would be at work.We would have total privacy and that was exactly what we needed. Me and Harper needed to talk and I was pretty sure the word Werewolf would be used quite often, and I was sure my parents would not like to hear the word.Everything was set now and Harper would come here any moment. We would talk in the living room where I would tell him that I wasn't in any place to start a relationship with him, not now, and maybe not ever. I would sit across from him. He would sit on the couch and I would sit on the armchair, and have the center table between us because distance between us was necessary. Completely necessary. Things happened whenever Harper was too close to me and I now knew why, because we were mates. I had already begun to accept the fact and I had no idea why. Now that I thought about it, I did take everything fairly well if you exclude the fact that I

"Friends hug each other, right?" Harper asked me before engulfing me in a bone-crushing hug.I gasped for breath and put my arms around him, which made him relax a bit. He let me go after giving me a mischievous smile. He knew that I knew what game he was playing.It had been two days since Harper came to my house to talk to me and I proposed to be friends. I should have known he would have a trick up his sleeve! Why the hell would a guy want to be 'just friends' with the girl he wants to have a committed relationship with?!He messaged me when he reached my home, instead of ringing the doorbell. I had asked him to do that. I was in no mood to tell my parents why a guy I had hated a few months ago, was now giving me a lift to school when my car was perfectly fine.I settled in his car and buckled my seat belt when Harper gave me a big box of chocolates with a wide grin on his face. I sighed."Harp-""Friends give each other small gifts, don't they?" Harper asked me with an innocent ex

"What?" My voice came out small and unsure and I looked at Harper to check if I had heard him correctly."Amanda found her mate in a hospital six months ago, battling cancer. He was already in the terminal stage and being a human, there was no way the 20-year-old boy had any chance of surviving. I had already rejected you and then, seeing as she was mate-less, I chose her to be my chosen Luna."I weakly nodded. I felt sorry for her, I did. "Did you ever sleep with her?" I asked warily, already knowing the answer in my gut.He lowered his head and nodded. Of course, why did I even ask?!I sighed, rubbing my arms. Harper walked towards me, closing the space between us even more. He cupped my face and I allowed the contact reluctantly. His hands were callused and I could feel the hard skin of his palms. He held my face and made me look up into his eyes."I don't know how else to say it, but I'm sorry. You're my mate, Zara and I know you find it hard to believe because you know that I h

After we made out in the classroom till we were panting like dogs, Harper suggested we skip the rest of school. And what did I say? I said why the hell not. Harper told me that he had it all covered and that my parents would never know about it. What can I say I was feeling adventurous?! Low-key, though, this is what a bad influence looks like.But I was too pumped up to care.So, we got into Harper's car and drove straight to a diner half an hour away from school. We had pretty much the whole day to look forward to because we had got out of school right after the second period.We had just settled in one of the booths, which could offer us privacy so that we could easily talk about him being a wolf and everything else that came with it. "So, wolves live in packs."Harper nodded in response to my statement."Wolves are social animals, just like humans. Our human side can live alone but it's our wolf side that needs other wolves to keep it sane. It may sound weird, but that's just h

"You're joking, right?" I ask him skeptically.He gently shook his head. "I'm not. The way you described the woman, that's exactly how we imagine her."I took a deep breath in and roamed my eyes across the diner. This conversation had taken an unexpected turn and I didn't know how to deal with it. How does anyone deal if they come to know that the person repeatedly appearing in their dreams is in fact, some sort of goddess?!"That's why you wanted to work on our relationship?" The word relationship left a weird taste in my mouth. I couldn't believe the boy sitting in front of me was my boyfriend. Harper nodded. "My wolf didn't want to let go of his mate and I was barely able to control him, for the reasons I explained before. But when you told me that the moon goddess was appearing in your dreams and when I heard the message, she delivered through you, my wolf convinced me that it was a sign, that the goddess wanted me to be with my mate.""So, you made a 180-degree turn, the very ne

"Why do you always bring me to the woods?" I chuckled and looked at Harper. We were walking deeper into the woods, away from the place where his car was parked. My hand was tightly clasped in his and I was in no hurry to let go of him, and from the looks of it, neither was he. Tingles were shooting up and down my arm and I was feeling strangely content at the small skin-to-skin contact."People wouldn't like to see me transforming into a silver wolf in broad daylight, believe me." Harper chuckled while looking pointedly at me. I mentally smacked myself in the head. Of course! Humans didn't know about werewolves. It felt strange to admit the fact, because less than a week ago, I was one of those humans too. Those humans who didn't know that supernatural beings exist and live amongst them."Sometimes humans don't take too kindly to us when they know about our little secret." Little? He calls this secret little?! "They assume us to be dangerous and so, hunt us. We call them hunters." H

Bonus Chapter: Natalie's POVI knew something was wrong when I didn't get my period for two months. I never had a smooth cycle so I wasn't troubled when they didn't happen the first time but their absence in the second consecutive month got me worried. My body had undergone certain changes I knew weren't normal and I was worrying myself to death, thinking about some kind of deadly disease that would kill me in a few months. Even though I knew that my immunity system was way better than a normal human's, I couldn't help but entertain such thoughts. I didn't tell anyone of my concerns as I didn't want anyone to worry because of my baseless concerns. Nonetheless, I booked the first possible appointment with the pack gynaecologist. I had prepared myself for everything, a tumour in my ovary, internal hemorrhaging of my uterus that would result in an immediate hysterectomy, or even breast cancer which would again lead to a complete mammectomy. But as I sat in front of the doctor and she ex

Bonus Chapter: Ethan's POVWhen you grow up as a werewolf, all you ever hear is the word 'mate', because people around you can't stop talking about them. Some elders talk about mates with a dazed but happy look in their eyes and you can easily tell how much they love their mates. When young people talked to mates, you could practically feel their longing and the love they had for their mates. When teenagers talk about mates, you can feel their desperation to find their mates and be one with them. Rejections in my pack were extremely rare and every werewolf lived happily ever after with their fated mates. There were no doubts, no questions asked because your mate could be the exact fit of your soul, your second half, and the one who you are supposed to live as long as you live. Growing up and watching my parents and pack members, this is all I had watched and learned, that a mate was for you to love, hold and protect till the end of your days. When you're brought up like that, the ide

EPILOGUE 3: HARPER'S POV (TEN YEARS LATER)It was three years ago when Mason was first teased by a classmate about the unusual arrangement of his parents. I had always known that as he was growing up, he became especially attuned to the fact that the way his family lived wasn't exactly normal by usual standards. There were so many unusual factors that they were bound to seem different to him and I wasn't exactly prepared for how Mason was coping with how different his family seemed to be from any other family in the pack. As the future alpha, it was essential to be a part of the pack because other people were often intimidated by the power you had and by the power you would have in the future. My father always taught me to be a part of the pack but always remember that you could never essentially be a part of the pack. And this is exactly what I had taught Mason to do; I had asked him to play with all the other wolf kids but always remember that in the future, he will be responsible

Epilogue 2: Zara's POVI could feel everyone's eyes on me, which instantly made me nervous. I hated feeling this way but I wasn't sure I could help it. I hated being the centre of attention and walking down an aisle and standing in front of all the pack members to take part in the Luna ceremony was exactly that, being the centre of attention. Harper had told me that since I was the true luna of the pack, the ceremony would be a little different and I wasn't sure how that would affect me as I hadn't exactly attended Natalie's ceremony. I weakly smiled at all the pack members assembled in the pack grounds and started walking down the aisle towards the raised stage at the front of the pack. I was barefoot to pay homage to the natural aspect of the pack and to respect the raw nature of the wolves. The grass was soft beneath my feet and I immediately compared the softness to the grass in the spirit world where I used to meet the moon goddess. Harper had instructed me to not look around an

Epilogue: Zara's POVA blush immediately coated my cheeks as I slowly woke up from my deep slumber. The bed felt too cosy and I couldn't help but snuggle against Harper's body. His amazing body heat and the tingles that danced all over my skin whenever we touched made me let out a deep, sleepy moan. I felt Harper stir beside me and felt his arm settle on my bare hip, eliciting a heady warmth to settle deep in my belly. His thumb gently caressed my hip bone and I moved closer to him, determined to have as much skin contact as possible and leave no space between us. Harper's scent surrounded me, which brought an involuntary sleepy smile to my face. Even with my eyes closed, I could picture Harper's slightly upturned nose as he slept. It was too hard to resist his adorable expressions so most of the time, I didn't even try. My head rested on his shoulder and my face settled in the crook of his neck. Without needing to open my eyes, I leaned forward and planted an open-mouthed kiss on Ha

I thought about it for so many months, because the act of being marked by Harper seemed final. It felt like a full stop and in a way, it was final, an end. I knew the meaning of being marked even before I had decided to go away when I had learned of Natalie's pregnancy. I had asked him to mark me so many months ago and he had refused. It seemed so long ago, Aiden's birthday party when he found out that Samantha was his mate. So much has happened since then, things that have made me value the most precious things in life, let go of grudges, and the importance of relationships. After all, I have been through, I believe I have grown as a person. Not just me either, I know that all of us, Harper, Natalie, Samantha, and Aiden have grown up and matured in a way that most eighteen-year-olds don't. Well, Natalie is nineteen years old and so is Harper, as of today. So, I want to stress the fact that the decision to mate with Harper wasn't a light one even though I know most people wouldn't s

I think what the moon goddess said somehow helped me get over Ethan's death. I was still wrung and grieving about him for weeks, don't get me wrong but thinking about how must be at peace somehow made it easy to bear his loss. If I were to believe the goddess' words, Ethan wasn't happy in his life and was lost because he had no apparent purpose. I like to think that he got the release he so desperately wanted and needed. Even after knowing all this, I still couldn't cope with the fact that I won't be seeing him every day. He had been my source of comfort and strength for so long, he was someone I could lean on. He had begun to understand me in ways I'd never thought possible. And his absence felt left like a big void and I wasn't sure I could fill it. I didn't know if it was possible to fill it. When Harper told me that Ethan wouldn't be getting a funeral like the pack members because he was a rogue, I had been so infuriated. I knew that what Harper was saying was a part of who he w

~ Harper’s POV~"You do realize that to break the bond between us, either one of us will have to complete the mating process and mark our mates," I remarked and watched as Natalie nodded her head in acknowledgment. We had just gotten back after performing the final rites of the pack warriors who had lost their lives from the battle with the rogues. Needless to say, we needed some time to regain our bearings before we mingled with the rest of the world. I had done it before when my father was fighting for his life and I still found it jarring to my being, to perform the final rites of the werewolves who lose their lives. I couldn't imagine how Natalie must be feeling as it was her first time dealing with this ceremony. And hopefully, the last time. "I know," she said and we didn't speak for a few moments. I sincerely hoped that it would get easier with time, performing this ritual. It certainly hurt more when I knew that the pack members were paying for the mistakes my father committe

When I came to my senses, I immediately knew that Harper wasn't in the bed with me. I had lost consciousness when I was engulfed in his body heat, with his arms wrapped around me. The loss of his presence was so pronounced that I didn't want to open my eyes. It felt like he was the only reason I wasn't emotionally breaking down right now. A very big part of me wanted to be near him right now and the fact that he wasn't here with me disappointed me a lot. Even in my dreams, I had expected him to be here with me, helping me get over my loss. I wanted to never open my eyes and I was glad the room was shrouded in darkness. My neck prickled in awareness and I became aware of someone sitting in the room and even though, the threat of the rogues was over, I suddenly felt unsafe. "I know you are awake, Zara." I recognized that voice and the fear immediately abated. I opened my eyes and got up in a seating position. I leaned against the headboard and regarded the figure of the soft figure of
