“Gramps? What are you doing here?” I sat down on my bed when he come and sat beside me. He held my hand, and his face was full of concern. “I hear from her that a doctor come here, and you’re sick.” He pointed at his nurse and his hands patted on legs. “How are you, sweety?” I was holding my tears. My grandfather was still in recovery, but after hearing me get ill, he rushed himself to see me. “I am fine, gramps, you shouldn’t be here. Just go back to your room.” “It’s alright, dear, I just wanted to see you, and…” He turn around and spoke to the three alphas. “I am sorry, but could I have a moment alone with my granddaughter?” They respected my grandfather's decision and left us alone. He still holding my hand and a smile came into his face. “I am so happy for you. They seem to really care about you. I was afraid at first, thinking that you need to keep up, having three men as your husbands.” He was laughing, and I can see a glimpse of happiness on his face. “Yeah, you don’t have
I was looking at Aaron, and somehow his opinion makes sense. Mystic blood works in close proximity with humans, because of how delicate their society and they are always in constant need of covering their existence.“I mean, for example, in your case recently with your psychopath cousin, we have a pack member in every area of law enforcement and even in the military. They are the ones who helped us close your case.” Said Aaron again.“So, you agreed that my parent probably killed and they makes it looks like an accident, right?” I asked him again.Zephyr came and sat on the bed beside me. “Not probably, more like it was a homicide but being treated as an accident.”“Now, we just need to find who’s the killer.” Said Elm to all of us. “We need the exact location and time, and I’ll ask our member in law enforcement to investigate this case.”“I’m glad to hear this, I mean, knowing the truth would always be better than to make some foolish guess.” I was being genuine, I wanted to know the
“Come again?” I was trying to comprehend the reality of what this woman was trying to tell me. She took a glance at Elm, probably asking for help. He complies and is the one who tried to explain it, once again. “Cat… the documents are…” Gruntling, I glared at my sometimes gullible mate of mine. “I know what happened, Elm! What I wanted to know was how on earth the law enforcement doesn’t have the documents for the accident?!” “We are going to investigate this. Please don’t worry.” Said Brassica to me. “Please, I dare you to say those words again, because I am so furious right now!” I am furious, but not into Brassica. I was so mad at myself. “We are truly sorry, missus.” I can sense she was sincere in every word that she said. Shaking my head, I talk to Brassica once again. “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you, I just… so mad at myself.” Probably hearing me get choked up, Elm immediately took my shoulder and hold me in my arms. Brassica smiles at me. “I know this kind of thing would
“Ash? What are you doing here?” I was surprised to see him, but not as surprised as he was. “I… I lived here.” He said it to me while pointing at the upstairs apartment. Poppy and I shared a glance, he took a sigh and click on a remote on his keychain. The door in the upstairs apartment suddenly opens. “Do you trust me now?” He close the door once again using the remote and then bow respectfully to Missus Pots and me, afterwards he finally said goodbye to Poppy. “I guess we are going to be a neighbor now, welcome to the pack.” Blessed my friend, because she was stuttered when replying to Ash. “I… I… Yes… nice to meet you.” I face-palming myself after those horrible replies, and when I saw Ash, he dares to chuckle and shakes his head. He said goodbye to Elm and goes away with his car. “Where is he going?” I asked Elm when he walk to the front door. He took a glance at Ash's car and replied. “He is going to practice with his team, it will be two days hunting with new pups.” At lea
I got nervous all of a sudden, packing my suitcase for like several times already and this time the journey would basically longer and I will be meeting with another mystic blood besides the wolf pack. Poppy helps me choosing the shirt and everything, she also being given work schedule for my new charity, billing and the administrative work for the new organization. “I think you pack too lightly, Cat. I mean, as the wife of three alphas, you need to dress for success, how about adding another small one?” Poppy as I’ve already knew is a girly girl, unlike me. She like to play dress up and if it’s goes to her own accord, I will be having three large suitcases with dress and sexy lingerie all over. “Don’t you dare, Poppy, you’ve already packing enough for me, if I need something, I’ll be getting it in the store there.” I laughed at her and rolled my eyes. “You know what you’re having now? You’re having the rich people problem.” She said it to me while laughing so hard. We have our fun
“The covenant messenger came this morning; they gave us permission to enter the covenant.” Said Elm again. “That’s good to hear. At least we don’t have to wait long, right?” I look at Zephyr and Elm, hoping that this is really a good thing. They look at each other and what I am afraid of is being revealed by them. “Sometimes to gain permission will take more than just one day. This never happened before.” “Maybe they change their… policy or something, otherwise…” My eyes go around the room, looking at the two of them. Zephyr took a deep sigh. He closes his laptop and goes outside my room. “Have it your way. We are going to the covenant tonight.” He seems a bit worried and annoyed that I am still eager to go. “Don’t worry about Zephyr, he had a personal reason for it.” Said Elm to me, although he never specifically tells me the personal reason that Zephyr had. I get up from my bed and took a fresh towel and my toiletries, need to take a bath, probably soak with a bomb bath. I saw
The woman who claimed herself as Azolla is young, probably as young as me, but then I need to remember, we are talking about the mystic blood. Their appearance isn’t what it seems. The woman has one of the coolest afro that I have seen for a while, and not to mention her proud attitude towards us, makes me feel discriminated by her. “So… What makes you come here today, miss?” She looks at my mates and smiles while raising her hands. “My apologize, missus.” As she slightly bows and makes some polite gesture, somehow feels too generic and fake to me, like she was in a play. “I am sorry, but I need to ask, are you… knew about my father?” I don’t know how, but I couldn’t trust this woman, just call it a woman's instinct. Her eyes stared back at me. “You… doubted me?” Azolla squinted her eyes and her voice resounded into the hall. I tried so hard not to make it into a big problem, but before I tried to reason with her, Zephyr holds my hand and gave me a gesture that he will help me. “I
“I am Azolla Caroliniana.” Said the elderly woman to me.I tried to approach her, but wolf Aaron prevent me to walk further. “Are you the real Azolla Caroliniana?”“Yes, dear, I was cast away from my covenant after a rebellion broke up almost three years ago.” When she looks at how protective my mates are, she instead approaches me while walking with her cane. “I can see that your mates are… very protective of your well-being, how about we talked about this in a more convenient place, your choosing, of course.”Elm took a glance at Zephyr, he just groaned in his wolf form, and his eyes then went to me. “What do you think?”“Let’s give her a chance to speak. How about our hotel room? We have the enforcers everywhere.” Whispering to Elm, just in case she can hear us.Elm shakes his head. “No, that’s a bad idea. It is our safe place, neverZephyr who’s already shifted back, finally gave his idea. “We have a bar ten minutes from here. Let’s go there.”The elder woman thankfully agreed to
The morning comes, and my hair got tangled everywhere. As I woke up, I heard someone groaning on my side, it was Elm, he was sleeping beside me and my hand just brushed into the stubble on his chin. He wiggled and I was giggling. When he opened his eyes, I kissed him slowly, “Good morning, my love.” I said it to him with an obvious smile on my face. Another person was groaning from behind me, his hand going and creeping out to my bare breast. “Hey beautiful, not you Elm.” Said Aaron from behind me. When I turn my head, he devoured my lips as if there was no tomorrow. “Fancy another one?” He doesn’t joke, as I feel his shaft already half erected in my bum. I pointed at the small bed on the other side, “What about Zephyr?” “No worries, I was ready.” Said Zephyr on the other bed. He jumps and goes to the big bed. “Now, where were we?” I was laughing at how enthusiastic they were. Elm settled on behind me, and as I kissed him, Zephyr’s hand already caressing my thigh. Aaron was settle
“We won, it’s over now.” Zephyr’s confirmation has just come to my realization, everything is over, but Hyacinth is gone. I was crying, even wailing, the three Alphas were flustered by my sudden tears. “Darling, what happened?” Zephyr asked me while Elm embrace me and tried to calm me down. Aaron was panicking, he was rambling, but the only thing I could do was shake my head and cried. After a while, I can finally calm down for a bit. “How are you feeling now?” They asked me while I wipe my tears. I took a deep breath and smiled. “Better now, sorry, probably because of how emotional I was after hearing the news, and also…” Don’t even know how to explain about Hyacinth, and just awkwardly went quiet. “She’s gone, right? Hyacinth, she is truly gone now.” It was Aaron who spoke, and my head turned to Elm. “I never said anything to them, they just knew, Cat.” Said Elm to me. “So, all this time, the three of you knew?” I asked them while my head went back and forth. Zephyr, Aaron,
Even Ivy seems flustered to see the Moon Goddess, I saw her bow to her, and I did the same. The Moon Goddess smile and raised her two hands. ‘Hear me, child, as the one who see all, and the one that granted all. This is just one of the things that I will continue to support.’ She took Ivy’s hand and kiss it. ‘She is the one that I have chosen, the one who guided the existence of the pack, as the Moon Goddess, I want you to take her side as she is the rightful owner of the power that I bestowed.’ And then her finger pointed at me. ‘She stole the power and has no right to wield it, as to how…” Before she could even finish her sentence, I punch the so-called Moon Goddess in the face. The audience was in shock, but the three Alphas then climbed the center stage. “Halt! We have the evidence that all of this is a ruse from Luna Ivy's side!” Aaron was screaming to the audience, while Elm tending to my wound. “Are you alright, sweetheart? I am sorry, but we need to wait for the witch to sp
The mansion of the Luminar family is what you called the building with historical significance. The old architecture dating back from the Victorian era is as impressive as the garden and the added building behind it. There are people in the garden and some designated party rooms inside this vast luxury mansion. “This is impressive, so they are what you consider as the old money, right?” I asked Zephyr who was holding into my hand, he turned his head and smile. “They are becoming this rich after the Luminar gained power, two hundred years ago.” He said to me while pointing at the painting in the grand room, the painting is hanging on the spaces right in the middle of the stairs. “That’s the Luna who supposedly gave the Luminar family their wealth and status. The great great grandmother of Hyacinth.” I look into the painting and saw a beautiful woman with chestnut hair and a smile on her face. This is probably the Luna who works together with the vampire queen. Both of them receive gl
“Ivy is here, with her two mates.” Like thunder just struck in my body, an adrenaline rush came rushing in. “What is she doing here?” I asked the three of them, not afraid, more like a curiosity on my side. “Did she want something?” “I don’t think so. She probably just wanted to observe us.” Aaron was calm, unlike the other two. Zephyr took a second glance at the guest room. “I don’t think so, they want to see something, they want to know how much backup that we have.” “Wait, almost all of our guests were in the dining room right now, what should we do?” Elm was making a lot of sense. Zephyr went quiet for a while and then said to Elm. “You go inside the dining room, and asked them to hide, take them to the underground shelter, right away.” He nodded his head and was almost gone when I call him again; I approach him right away and whispered. “Order the maids to clean the table except for our dinner plates. We don’t need them to count the plates, you know what I mean, right?” “O
“Nice to meet you, Missus Cattleya Hunt.” The old man named Reed Luminar is Hyacinth’s father. This is the first time I’ve met with one of the Luminar family, and now, I even met with Hyacinth’s real father. “Yes, Alpha, nice to meet you.” I’ve become accustomed to their title by now, and my eyes are already used to differentiate Alphas and Lunas from the others. “You probably wonder why I have her father here with us,” said Aaron towards me. I tell him the truth. “Yes, although, not really surprised by it.” “How about if we all sit down and have the discussion?” Zephyr led me into one of the chairs, he added a pillow for my back, which I am so grateful for. My back is killing me sometimes. The three alphas with Alpha Reed, sit around the chair with one big table, on the table I saw another enchanted map, I was fascinated by it and asked them immediately. “This one is different from the one we saw in New Orleans, right?” “Yes, Lia makes it for us, it is the map of the surroundin
(Cattleya) I feel so stuffy lately, probably because of the pups, although I was grateful that the morning sickness was practically gone now, but other discomfort comes and goes. My back begins to hurt and also had weird cravings that sometimes even my mates winced when they saw me eat. “Cattleya, are you done? We need to go in one hour.” Zephyr is calling me from the door. I shouted that I was packing my essentials, practically my new cravings, and shoved them inside my bag. He opens the door and chuckles. “Darling we can ask the maid to buy these foods there, you don’t need to pack everything.” “No, I don’t want the maids buying it for me.” I was pouting and pointing at the array of snacks on the bedside table. “They always messed up, one time I want some creamy butter ice cream, they bring back some butter ice cream. I want it creamy!” He raised his eyebrows. “Okay, whatever you want then. Now, if you’re finished with everything, how about you go downstairs and wait.” “I’ll go
(Zephyr) I saw Aaron come out from his room, glad he is already feeling better, burnout is a very damnest thing for us werewolves. “How are you feeling?” Asking this tall man while he walks into us. “Never been better, I must be so exhausted, got burnout for three days, this is the first time I need to be in bed because of burnout.” He rustled his damp hair and folded his hands on his chest. “You supposed to tell Cat that I will be fine after a few days though?” Elm winced at him. “She refused to leave your side; you know how stubborn she is.” And I couldn’t even give him a more good reason than what Elm gave. As I was laughing at him, I asked Xavier to look into the picture that I handed in his hand. “We need to stay there a week from now, I think I found the best place for our temporary hideout in the South, what do you think?” He looks at the pictures and laughed. “D*mn, Zephyr, I never knew that you have this kind of craziness in you.” “For her, I will do everything.” While m
(Aaron) My heart is pounding faster, and my whole body seems like hot coal from deep inside. I was burning, feels like I was been burned inside. This is the effect of a long-time transformation for me. Until, the feel of a cool cloth on my forehead. Opening my eyes, I saw Cattleya, wiping over my whole body with a waistcloth. “Kitty Cat, what happened?” I asked her and immediately a smile came on her face. “Oh, you finally wake up, you fainted, and we call the doctor, you got a burnout, too much time in your wolf form.” She told me, while still wiping over my body with icy water. “Is that icy water? How hot was I?” I asked Kitty Cat with curiosity in my mind. “Let’s just say, you need to be put in the icy bathtub for a while.” She winced while I can see visible black puffy eyes on her face. I get up immediately but got dizzy, she put me on the bed. “You need to rest, doctor already gave me full instructions, no rough activity for a few days.” “Your face.” My hand reaches into her
