‘Wake up…’
Somehow, I keep hearing the same faint voice telling me to wake up. Am I sleeping right now? Am I dreaming? Where am I? Why is it so dark?
‘Hey, wake up!’ The faint voice become bolder and gave me a slight surprise.
“Who… Who is calling me?” I asked the voice.
‘Doesn’t matter for now. You need to wake up and meet with them, get to know them and bond with them.’
I chuckle and asked the voice once again, “Alright, but who were they? And what do I need to do with them? Bonding? What the h*ck girl!”
‘I wasn’t kidding. Your life is in danger, and only Zephyr, Elm, and Aaron, the three of them, could become your protector.’
“Oh, those three wolf men?! The brute one, the annoying one, and the cute one? My protector? You’re really joking.” The chuckles turned to laughter. The mysterious voice really gave me a really good laugh this time.
‘They were not a joke! Please take this seriously. You got a second chance in life. Don’t let it go to waste!’ The mysterious voice was upset. Somehow she doesn’t like it if I belittle the three of them.
Feel bad all of a sudden, I apologized to the mysterious voice, “Sorry, and you’re right, I got a second chance in life, will never let it go to waste.”
‘As you should… Now, time to get up!’
“Wait, who are you?!”
Before I get some answer from her, my eyes were open, and I was staring at the ceiling light blinding my eyes. Another feeling came from my chest area, a hand, to be exact. The young man who I remember as Elm, staring at my face while his hand was touching my br*ast.
“What are you doing?” I asked him with more curiosity than fury.
He jumped and pulled his hand away, even got tripped as the result. I was trying to help him, but my head was spinning. The only thing I can do was to lean on the bedhead, while my eyes constantly glaring at the person who rubbed his head in pain.
“Hey, care to explain what are you doing earlier?!” I asked him while my right thumb pointed at my chest.
Still brushing his head from the fall, Elm gave me a look of annoyance, “I was trying to see if you were okay!”
“By touching my b**bs?!” I shouted at him.
He then begin to shout as well, “I… was trying to see if your heart was still beating! That was all!”
“You f*cking liar! Be thankful I was still a bit dizzy or else I will kick your *ss!” My fury came in full throttle. Even when I was incapacitated in the bed.
The bedroom door abruptly open, Zephyr looks at me and Elm. “What happened here? Why all the shouting?”
Aaron came along, he smile when my eyes looks directly at him, “Oh, you’re awake? Good, good, are you hungry? I cook some whatever soup.”
I was confused, and also wary, somehow finally realized that I wasn’t in my room anymore. I was inside a huge and posh bedroom, where the three of them staring back at me. Elm was still on the floor, Zephyr holding the door handle with a frowned on his face, while Aaron leaning on the wall beside Zephyr.
“Wait, were you kidnapping me?!” I said to them, and suddenly I remember other detailed, “You, you drug me!” I screamed at Zephyr, trying so hard to get up from the bed. Sadly, I wasn't able to move at the moment, my strength still not in full capacity.
“I guess the effect still lingered.” That annoying j*rk smirked at me, he walk out from the room, but before he was disappearing from the room, Zephyr glared at me and also at Elm, “Behave, you two!”
Aaron chuckled at the j*rk, his attention goes back to me, with a warm smile on his face he said, “Sorry we need to drug you, if only you would have heard our us, what a stubborn girl.” He doesn’t like my behavior by his words, but Aaron’s eyes tell a different story, he admiring my stubbornness.
“Ugh, that was the only thing that all of you said. Even the voice in my head said the same.” I grumbled while looking around the room.
“Voice… In your head?!” Aaron and Elm were shouting at the same time, getting intrigued by my muttered.
Afraid that they will try to asking me more question, I shake my head, and said, “It was nothing, look I wanted to refresh and probably gained more of my strength back, could the two of you leave me alone?” Aaron and Elm looking at each other, I sighed and pointing at the window and the door, “I am not going anywhere, if you don’t trust me, just lock those d*mn door and the windows.”
Aaron shrugging his shoulder, “No, I trust you. Besides, where would you go, anyway?” He said the last words and wave goodbye to me.
I look at Elm and waiting, “Well?”
Grumpily, he stands up and, exiting the room, doesn’t even bother to close the door.
“What a bunch of privilege *sshole!” I muttered and goes to close the door. Thankfully, I regained my strength, and peek into the bathroom.
The bathroom is fill with the modern items, from the egg shape bathtub with a jet, and the built in shower head for two. I think we could fill the shower room with more than two people. My mind immediately goes elsewhere.
“What a stupid b*tch you are, Cat. They kidnapped you, and now you’re thinking of getting frisky in the shower room with them?” I said to myself while giggles like a teenage girl.
I was having a dry spell even before the heart attack gets me, probably because of the last relationship with that b*stard that gave me a trust issue. My anger just went up. I hate thinking about Rhus, especially at a time like this. Time for a cold shower. Maybe it will help me think about something else rather than just some erotica movement with them. They probably waiting for me at the moment, and here I am, having a dirty thought..
After I put off all of my dirty clothes, got confused of what garment that I will be using after the shower. Definitely not going to wear those dirty clothes anymore. Suddenly, a knocked came from the door.
“Hey, it’s me, Aaron.”
“What is it?” I asked him, while in a hurry to put a towel on my body.
“I brought you some clothes.”
“Just… Just put it on the floor. I’ll retrieve it later.”
There was no reply for a while. I thought he probably just leave the clothes and walk away. When I open the door, how surprised I was surprised to see Aaron was in front of me with a bundle of clothes on his hand. Our eyes met and the first thing I do is to give him a quick punch into his face.
Aaron dodges and even grabs my hand. He was a skillful fighter. He snickers, giving me a look of his a tiny fang on the left tooth, making his rugged, handsome look softer and I must say, cuter. Pulling my hand away and tighten the towel on my body, I smile at him. “Nice catch. I thought you were just depending on that magical look that you have earlier.” Said to him, with a little teased at him. “What? this handsome look?” He snorted, and with his arm leaning on the doorframe, he stared at me and said, “Trust me, darling, I am more than just a handsome face. I can show you if you want.” Laughed at his words, I walked closer to him, until my face inches away from him, “Don’t… Call me… Darling!” and this time I successfully punch him in his guts. Hearing him gruntled and curses, I wave goodbye and close my door. “Ugh… I let you do that, you know.” Said Aaron from the other side of the door. “Yeah, yeah, whatever you said! Now leave me alone!” I
I looked at the three of them and snorted, “Well, of course you are. You don’t even know me. I will never dream of getting three men trying so hard to save my life.” Smiling at them, I then asked them once again, “Don’t worry, I know who I am, and what you guys are, so, tell me, who’s the person who deemed myself so worthy?”“Probably it’s best if the person itself tells you everything…” Said Aaron, mysteriously.I frowned when they seem trying so hard to cover up the identity. “Why are the three of you seem a bit reluctant to tell me the truth?”Zephyr massaging his forehead, “It’s not because we are reluctant about it, we…”Before Zephyr could finish his sentence, a man in his forty with a broad shoulder and a military cut came into the dining hall. His brown eyes look directly at Zephyr.“I’m back, my lord.”“Ah,
I was stunned when I saw the person that asked for my protection. It was my surgeon, the one who gave me my new heart. When she looks at me, she bow her head and tried to smile, even though it came more awkward than it should. “Oh, Doctor Anne, what are you doing here?” I said to her, while Zephyr asked all of us to sit on the sofa. “Doctor Anne? oh, come on, she got her first name basis while you asked us to call you doctor Burdock.” He teased my doctor. Somehow, Zephyr also has this side of him. Well, I knew him a day before. Of course, there are a lot of things that I don’t know about Zephyr, Aaron, and also Elm. “Can’t help it. She was my patient and I know about her thoroughly.” She said to Zephyr with a shrugged. Also another trait that I have never seen in my doctor. “Both of you seems know each other for quite some time.” I asked them after noticing their interaction. “You could say it like that,” Zephyr replied was a bit bland and ignorance. I can feel a tension from thos
“I can’t believe it, you… Hyacinth, the Hyacinth?!” I was trying to talk to the voice in my head, seems like a crazy person doing right now, but I rest my case.‘Yes, I am that Hyacinth.’ She once again confirmed it to me.I was stunned by this revelation, and didn’t know how to deal with the news, with the whole thing. I mean, my new heart belongs to a leader of a fairytale group, and allegedly was a powerful woman leader, literally powerful. Now, the voice in my head also claimed as the Luna who was the previous owner of my new heart.“You… Have got to be kidding me!” Screaming as loud as I could, and not even realize Zephyr was staring at me from the door.“We weren’t kidding though, just… trying to tell you the truth.” Said Zephyr, still with his smug *ss attitude.“Holy Sh*t! you almost gave me a heart attack! For the second time!” I yelled at Ze
(Aaron)“This is not going to work. You’re too headstrong and she was stubborn and brash.” Zephyr said to doctor Burdock, who looks at him with a look that could killed. "I forbid you to meet with her for now."“What would you like me to do? Waiting for her to get comfortable, the enemy are closing in, Zephyr, they already killed her once, I am not going to let them destroying her once again!”Zephyr was having a quarrel with doctor Burdock, me on the other hand, was having a best time when I saw her striking a punch to this arrogant and annoying doctor. I have never liked her, even though she was Hyacinth's best friend. Elm poking me and whispered.“Maybe we should go and check on her. She was so angry and just go outside without one of us following her.”I whispered back at Elm, “Angry? More like an honest assault to our doctor right here. She was furious, and rightfully so.”“Aar
(Cattleya)I was driving like a maniac, cursing about how far this mansion was from the highway. Thankfully, the r*nge rover was in a good condition, I could drive it at ease, I am not going to slow down, no matter what. My skilled as an excellent driver really being put into a test here. After a while, finally I could see the highway. Although, worried about my grandfather, I feel sorry for Elm, Aaron, and Zephyr, they tried so hard to become my protector, and here I am going to waste my life.What can I do? My grandfather was the only family that I have left. He raised me with love and care while struggling with money. He tried his best and I will always be grateful for it. This time, I will do anything to save him. Even though I could lose my life in the process.Finally, after almost two hours on the road, I almost reached grandpa’s house and already the feeling of overwhelmed, not to mention panic that came suddenly into my mind. I parked the car for
My grandpa’s house was in front of me, and I saw three huge men were just standing creepily on his front porch. They were probably there to wait for my arrival, and as the three of them already warned me about the strongest guard that the enemy had. “The enemy has one of the strongest army in our clan, the Lycan army.” Said Zephyr to me, while I was getting more headache as I need to memorize about this. “What’s a Lycan army?” I asked the three of them. Their faces told me that I will never like the answer. “Where… you already saw our wolf form and the enemy wolf form, right?” Elm said to me, while he nervously taking a glimpse at Zephyr and Aaron. “Well, they have an unusual form as a Lycan.” I titled my head, questioning Elm, answered even more, “Unusual? Truthfully, your form is already unusual for me as a human being. What unusual it can be?” Aaron unexpectedly chuckles and the words that came from his mouth, making me more nervous than before. “When you saw our wolf form, you
My grandfather was stunned, he look into the three of them while I was sitting with him. Thankfully, his wound wasn’t severe, and the medic told me to have him on the bedrest for a while. It seems I need to beg the arrogant man to place my grandfather into a safe place. Approaching Zephyr, I was so nervous and even tried to smile at him. He looks wary. “What? Why do you have to look so creepy right now?” He said to me with a frowned on his face. Dear me, do I need to flirt with him for a bit? Guess just for a bit, with bated eyelashes and my hand tucking the hair behind my ear, I asked Zephyr the question, “I need to ask if it’s possible for my grandfather to get…” He raised his hand and said, “No need for you to ask. I’ve already arranged a room for your grandfather inside the hideout.” “Really?!” I was so surprised by how generous he can be. Aaron, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear. “He felt sorry because we never suspected they will come here in just a day.” I l
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
