Chapter Title: Radolf! The Moment That Almost Was intense….Asher’s wolf howled in his mind.“ Kiss her. I want her” For the first time in a long time, Asher didn’t fight it. He took a slow step forward, his pulse quickening as he neared her. Annatoria turned, her eyes meeting his, and for a split second, something unreadable flickered across her face.Was it longing? Uncertainty?His fingers twitched at his sides. He wanted to close the space between them, tilt her chin up, and-Boom! The doors flung open."Alpha Asher! Miss Annatoria!" Axel’s voice rang out, breathless, urgent. His eyes were wide, his usual composed demeanor shattered by whatever he had just seen but at that moment, he wasn't really concerned. .Annatoria stepped back instantly, the atmosphere between her and Asher snapping like a fragile thread.“What happened?” she asked, already on edge as she waited for his response..Axel swallowed hard. "The search team found a body. We’re heading there now.”The tension in
Chapter 37: His Regret. The familiar scent of blood and damp earth filled the air as they approached the scene. The search team stood in a tense semi-circle, their faces grim under the moonlight.The body lay partially covered by a thin layer of dirt and fallen leaves, as if someone had tried to hide it in a hurry.Axel forced himself to look at the body. It was a female's. Torn clothes. Deep gashes along the arms and neck. But the most disturbing detail was the missing eyes.A sick feeling settled in her chest.Axel exhaled sharply. "It’s not Jessica.”One of the scouts shook his head. " We don’t know who she is, Beta."Axel knelt beside the corpse for careful examination as his eyes trailed every single part of her body. “Pack it up," He muttered, leaving the scene for fresh air as his eyes became misty. He had his hopes high, expecting to at least, see her body but to his surprise, it wasn't even hers. “Round up and let's leave," He sighed. This wasn't the first time of buryi
Chapter 38: He knows her weakpoint. Ever since Radolf returned to his pack, his mind kept echoing her name. “Annatoria".....His mind travelled to that minute he saw her walk towards the podium to receive her award, the smile on her face. The way she carried herself—graceful yet powerful—made his chest tighten. He had spent years convincing himself he didn't need her, that she was better off gone. But now, watching her from afar, he felt the weight of his own mistakes pressing down on him.Radolf clenched his fists. Why now? Why is she haunting me when I was the one who let her go?The cheers of the crowd faded into a dull hum as he fixated on her. Annatoria looked…different. Stronger. More radiant. And worst of all, completely untouched by the pain he had caused.He should have been proud. Instead, he felt something dangerously close to regret as his mind travelled back to the words of that wizard. “Ask for forgiveness".He had a feeling that he was going to get her back….he was go
Chapter 39: The Threat.Asher's heart yearned for her. He wanted to pull her tighter, he wanted to feel her breath on his skin. Each day he saw her, his wolf cried to be with her. His wolf desperately wanted her. Her glowing skin brushed against his, just as her weight fell on him. Her eyes shut as her head gently hit his chest. He was shocked even though he wanted it. His lips slightly parted as he tried to subdue the urge- the urge to pull her closer. It was a feeling that felt more than a feeling…..it was something he couldn't explain. It was embedded in his heart, it was buried in there. The only thing that held him back was the realization of how she was going to feel when she became sober. He sighed and after some minutes, he lifted her to the bed. Even though he wanted it, he couldn't take it….Even though it was right before his eyes, at his reach, he couldn't break their bond, knowing she was hurting. That was love! The love she couldn't find….. the one Radolf couldn't
Chapter 40: The Quest For TruthThis day was totally different from every other day. It was different as Loreen could sight her misery coming close to her. She could sense her destruction and doom, coming closer to her. She felt helpless, weak, and insecure.A day hardly passed by without fear gripping her heart. It wasn't what she'd signed up for and now, she was to be thrown down into the dark and endless pit that her jealousy was pushing her into. She knew Radolf had been suspecting her and the more she tried to act normal, the more suspicious she seemed. It was obvious to the pack members that something was wrong. Candace knew something was up as well but of course, she had no idea about it. Loreen got dressed and didn't even wait for breakfast before she grabbed the keys of her latest Lamborghoni X550R. She had everything she wanted but, she was already losing it. All she gathered was slipping away from her hands. She was to attend an important meeting with fellow Lunas.
Chapter 41: Finding the Wizard! “I….I am Radolf, the Alpha of the Ember Wolves Pack “ Radolf stuttered, trying to hide the fear that was boldly spelt on his face. The unseen man laughed hysterically, settling fear deep down into the inner parts of Radolf's heart. "Are you aware of the consequences?" The man chuckled dryly. “Yes, I am. I seek the truth, the truth only" Radolf voiced, feeling a lump in his throat. For few seconds, the whole atmosphere went dark and he heard heavy footsteps as though it was a giant. His wolf was already alerted and if anything was going to happen, he was ready to shift and fight back or die. After all, it was his choice to find the truth. Everywhere was becoming smoky and foggy as the unique sounds of the crickets made it like a hysterical movie scene. Suddenly, the atmosphere cleared again and Radolf could see the man. The man stood galant, his eyes glaring at Radolf, his body features resembling that man's (wizard).“I am the one you seek, Rado
Chapter 42: “Don't ignore me, Annatoria!”Unfortunately, Radolf met the worst he never expected. He'd known he was going to eventually find a secret about Loreen but he never expected that secret to be this dreadful. As he heard the man speak, his heart raced as he felt a pang in his chest. Goosebumps appeared on his skin as his wolf fumed from within. Why was he suddenly feeling guilty? He'd never felt guilty about losing Annatoria but, why now?His eyes anger-red and his jaws clevhed, he pronounced “I'll kill that bastard!" The wizard smiled widely, as though he was mocking Radolf.Not even the person Radolf’s most respected was ever going to save her from him. “I, Garcia, was the wizard who conducted the charm activation. I had one of our old relics become a duplicate of Annatoria's appearance so that Loreen could use it. I did it because you didn't deserve Annatoria, not because of Loreen!" His mind drifted back to the time the man confessed, unbothered.“You bastard!," The m
Chapter 43: Escaping Vengeance. “Where's Loreen?!" Radolf yelled angrily as soon as he got to the pack house. His hair looking unkempt, his trousers dirty, and he was looking all drained. He was heading to the chamber room and when he was there, he barged in.“What's the problem?" Loreen’s eyes met his while she spoke softly, fear dominating her mind as she watched him burn in anger. Radolf had left the pack for days and when he finally returned, it was with an angry expression. “You demon!" Radolf fumed, his stare piercing right through her soul. On his face, was hatred and resentment boldly written. “You thought I wouldn't find out, right?’ Radolf scoffed, his eyes glued to Loreen's. At that rate, he could strangle her. "Find what?” She questioned, but before Radolf could speak, an urgent call interrupted him. The tension broke, leaving Loreen's eyes bulged out of their sockets, her veins appearing more evident on her forehead. “Has he found out?" Her wolf whispered from wi
Chapter 57: The Return Of An Old Villain. Annatoria had locked herself indoors since they got back from the meeting with the Alpha King. Locking in seemed to be a healing method for her but, Asher was being considerate. Locking in wasn't going to help, compared to true healing if someone helped her heal. She realized that a year wasn't going to take longer anymore. All she needed was to wait till the normal time and when it was time, she would claim her son from the wuss she called a husband. She could imagine the smirk on Radolf's face if he ever heard of what the outcome of her meeting with King Corrion was. Embarassment flushed through her for a minute, as her eyes closed and she finally drifted into a peaceful sleep. This morning, she woke up feeling brand new. Over the last three years, she'd grown into a woman who could solve her problems by herself without brooding on it for too long even though those problems would still return and she had to solve them again. Since t
Chapter 56: A Villain?“Then, why are you here?” He asked in a more serious tone, Annatoria could see evil glistening in his eyes. She tried all she could, to avoid her eyes locking with his. “Your majesty_" Annatoria tried to speak but, he cut her off. “Straight to the explanation,” He grunted, flicking his index finger. “I have lived for almost three years without my son. My ex husband, Radolf who is Alpha of Ember Wolves Pack, banished me without letting me go with my son. Besides, my son is the main reason I am everything I am.” She paused to regulate her breath. “I see," The King crooned, his lips curving into a terrible, mocking smirk. "Please, your Highness, hear me out_" Annatoria tried to beg but soon, she was cut off. “Guards!" King Corrion called on his guards and they all came running in. “Your majesty, please hear us out" Asher pleaded with the stern-faced man. King Corrion had his guards drive them out of the palace in the most embarrassing manner ever. “That's
Chapter 55: Unhealed Scars. “Father Greyman,” Nyx called his name in disbelief. He told her that she was going to be due for delivery in exactly 6 months. "Yes. It's not my first time, I know how shocked you are too” The old man giggled, as he boasted. "Who was the last person you told?” Nyx asked him, her voice mewling. “My daughter," The man responded sharply, his smile slowly vanishing. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to _" Nyx tried to apologize but, he interrupted “No. Let me tell you about me family. I want to" The man smiled again. The fact that he was able to smile after losing his first smile, marvelled Nyx. She read a heavy and big meaning to his action. “My family and I, were members of The Blood Moon Pack." He stopped, then, grinned before he continued his story. “I used to be the pack's doctor, back in the 80s. Everything was going so well and fine until one day, the Alpha banished my wife and only daughter who got pregnant for his son—the current Alpha Kiel" He sighe
Chapter 54: Not Letting Go. “Jessica!" Loreen ran after the lady who had the same stature, same physical features and skin color as Jessica. Without seeing the lady's face, she was already convinced that it was Jessica. The T-Shirt she'd taken from Mario's spare clothes was what she had on her and her short boxers. “Jessica!!" Loreen called her name again, while running amidst crowd. The pain from the bruises on her thighs was unbearable but, she had to bear.Finally, the lady whom she was running after, stopped to looked behind. “Y.. you're not Jessica?" Loreen slowly questioned in embarassment after seeing her face clearly.“Excuse me, do I know you?"The lady asked, almost rough. “I'm sorry, I made a mistake" Loreen spluttered, she felt like the ground was pulled from beneath her. Of all the times she was embarassed, the embarassment she faced today was greater. Eyes disgustingly dragged after her and she wished she could yell at them to take their eyes off her. “That's wh
Chapter 53: “Snap Into Your New Personality" Annatoria's phone rang again. It rang the first time but, she wasn't close. It was an unknown number again—similar to the last number that called her..When she picked up the call, the caller spoke. “Hi, Annatoria." The unknown person began. “Who's this? Why do you keep calling me?" Annatoria questioned, walking as fast as she could, over to her meeting room. She'd summoned her elders because she wanted to have a meeting concerning the pack. She was on her way when her phone rang again.“Won't you, at least, be respectful?" The man said over the phone. "I don't even know who you are. I promise to hang up and never pick any calls from this number,” She said in her sternest voice. "Fine, accept your duty and be the descendant you are.” Him—Manga said again. "What do you mean by me being a descendant?” Annatoria flared, making sure her voice wasn't loud. Asher had just arrived that morning from his pack. He met her walking to the me
Chapter 52: The Escape II2 weeks after…Manga had been carefully watching the Ember Wolves Pack closely. He made sure that no news about the pack was new to him. He followed up every detail and single news about every single happening in the happening.He finally decided to disguise into the pack as a lady, letting his long hair down and dressing in a perfect oversized robe that would make them think he was being traditional instead of the normal civilized wears. “Where can I find Luna Loreen?" He asked a certain young lady who was passing the front of the pack house. “Don't you dare….call her Luna. You might be beheaded for that” The lady answered him, her voice was like a whisper when she talked. "What? What do you mean by that?” Manga asked, leaning in closer to hear more. "You mean you haven't heard of what she did to become Luna?” The woman questioned him, shocked. Her facial expression telling that she was shocked as well. "I was outside the pack. What happened?” He asked
Chapter 51: Wills Of The Heart “Where are we going?" Annatoria muttered, her eyes fixed on the road as she raised her legs to the dashboard. The air conditioner was turned on but, the silence in the car was uncomfortable as Asher still insisted on taking her to a place she didn't know about. “I know I might just have to accept you as a man of his own mind" Annatoria smirked. Asher was loaded enough to sponsor anything….anything whatsoever that it was. As their car pulled up in front of the restaurant, Annatoria lips slightly parted as she sighted the expensive view of the restaurant. “Selena!" She exclaimed, her eyes beholfing how beauty the exterior was. “Asking me to go on a date would've been better" She playfully snickered, snapping out of it. "I'll take you on many dates because of your appealing and gorgeous face" Asher grinned, getting down from the car. He made sure he did everything right and he was a real green flag. A man every woman in the pack wanted. Even human
Chapter 50: Intentions. Exactly two days since Loreen was forced into the brutal sex by Mario— the man who looked like a helper, she could no longer stand it. He was her mate but, she could not find a mole of pity within him. He treated her like he'd always wanted the chance to treat her like that. He seemed to have had such plan for a long time. Her pussy was mercilessly bruised as she begged for peace and rest. She never thought sex could make her cry that hard but, there she was, begging to be free.Her coochie had expanded due to consistent thrust and fingering. She had to moan even when she felt pain. Mario wanted to hear her moan…he said she sounded like his favorite pornstar. She was chained and hungry by Mario, her very own mate. “I trusted you, Mario" She said weakly, her voice was weak and her mouth hardly opened. She tried to mumble her words but, there were bruises and swellings all over her mouth. He punched her hard when she refused to suck his p3nis and only the
Chapter 49: Thing of the Past. “Have I become so invisible?" Candace muttered as soon as Radolf went out of his room and headed straight to the dining room for breakfast. She'd waited for hours outside the door since he brought the new rule of no one except the cleaners going into his room. She had to stand outside, holding his breakfast tea. Ever since Loreen escaped, he no longer spared a glance at her. No matter how seductive and sexy she dressed, he passed like she was some mere commodity. He behaved like a blind man whenever she was around him…..even though her cleavage was fully exposed. Her cleavage was the part that always made him crazy but, it was no longer enticing him. “It's Espresso, Alpha" She smiled, stretching forward the tea tray to him while she bowed her head as low as she could, just to make sure she revealed her cleavage. “I don't want it," Radolf scoffed, then, made his way to the dining room. What exactly didn't he want? Was it her or the tea? On a norm
