EDNA POV“But you never told me about your name, so to me, you never had a name.” His words cut and slashed mercilessly through my entire body.This man was heartless and ruthless. He could do anything to anyone and also to me but what I was sure about, was that I wouldn't allow him to change my name.“Besides, Edna is old fashioned. Brielle is better.” He cut through bringing me to the living world as he said that.I felt a twist of pain in my heart as he said that.It could be old fashioned to him but that was the only thing I had from my parents who I never knew.It pained me to see he was regarding my parents as old fashioned and naive by his statement.I never wanted to talk about them because of what the rumours said about their tragic death and that it was all caused by me but today, it dawned on me how painful it was to hear someone say something like that about them.“You have no right to disrespect my parents! You are nobody and no one to say such a thing to me! You don't kn
It had been two days since I had started living with humans.Life with humans was better than ours as wolves.Here, humans roamed freely without being restricted of whom to serve and whom to obey and respect.Their life was very different from ours.Humans had their apartments where they lived within the city while working at different places in the city.Mr Turner was a kind-hearted man. Aside from helping me, he offered me a place to stay.At first, I was very scared because of my past trusting issues and the many times the cruel Alpha Ansel tried to rape me.But he assured me that I would be staying with his family.Eventually, I accepted the offer and followed him to his house.His home was not that big. He had two rooms, a kitchen and a living room.He had a wife and two adorable children.His wife was so outspoken and very nice that at first I thought they were planning something against me.But I made up my mind to stop being paranoid if I wanted to stay alive. I also had to t
At first, I was not sure if I should accept his offer or not.I was scared of him. Not that he could hurt me but because I was in a new environment. A new place far away from my world.I had never interacted with humans before so I didn't want any trouble with them. Besides, I came here to look for a conducive environment where I could start afresh not to cause trouble.And by the way I could see it, the man wanted me. I could read him like a page of a book. Besides, I wasn't anyone but a wolf and as a wolf, I was not a fool to understand what he wanted from me.But finally, I made up my mind to go with him to the coffee shop. Moreover, I had a problem and I needed it solved.By the way he was dressed and the aura that surrounded him, I could tell that he was rich and maybe he could give me a job.And now here we are, in a coffee shop, sitting opposite each other.‘I want to go back.’ I heard Serene, mind-linking me.I also wanted to go back. I missed creatures like me. The worst par
“Edna Whiteny!” I heard a deep and thunderous voice coming out of the coffee shop that made me curl myself on the floor.“Alpha, you need to calm down.” I couldn't believe that he was here. How did he trace my whereabouts?All I felt as I squeezed myself onto the table was cold, I was freezing! I was overwhelmed with shock.Fear covered my whole being and I trembled.I felt like peeing on my clothes. Fear overcame me that I couldn't breathe.I was shaking, then I remembered Marcus.Was he okay?“Marcus!” I turned to where he had been but what I saw left me dumbfounded.He wasn't there. “Marcus!” No, I was scared to death.Where was Marcus?‘No, it can't be!’ What? Did something happened to him? I felt like disappearing on the earth's surface.Where did he even go?“Edna Whiteny! Come out or I will kill him and kill all these humans!” Was he insane?Suddenly, the whole place went quiet and dark.What was happening? All I could hear was the sound of my heart as it popped and throbe
“From today henceforth, you are not allowed to get out of this damn room!” The crazy man growled after slamming me hard on the marbled floor immediately we reached at this pack.I didn't know how we arrived here, but after I was able to regain consciousness, we were already in a room and I supposed it must be the room of his pack.I was back to the werewolf world, where I belonged. “You are not allowed to get out of this room!” He repeated his words aggressively and rushed to where the bedside table was and grabbed the white flower vase and threw it hard on the wall that it scattered on the floor into small pieces.I was so scared that my heart thumped in trepidation as I curled myself in a corner of the room.“How dare you escape me? Did you think I would just allow you to run away, just like that?!” He paced back and forth then rushed to charge to where I was.Glaring at me while narrowing his eyes, he crotched his head to my side and pointed at me furiously.“Y-you are bleeding…”“
“Baby Jack? Baby? Where is he?” We heard someone calling from outside the room and immediately Jack heard that voice, he rushed under the bed.“Why are you hiding?” I asked as I got up from the bed.“I want to stay here with you!” He blurted out so adorably that anyone hearing him talk like that, couldn't deny him.But he had to go. I was already in trouble. I didn't want to cause more.Plus the room was full of broken glasses of the vase his father broke down because of anger, I didn't want him to get hurt.“Jack,” I called and he ignored me, “I am talking to you, look at me.” I called again softly than before and he turned his beautiful eyes to me.“See, you have to go.”“I don't want to.”“Why?” I asked politely but in confusion.Well, I didn't know how he came in here and how but I wouldn't put myself in more trouble because of him.I was totally sure that his father wouldn't like the fact that his son was around me.That man hated me and about liking me as what his son said, that
My stomach growled, informing me that I was hungry and starving.It had been two days since Alpha Ansel locked me in this room.I had been all by myself. No one to talk to.I still couldn't feel my wolf, Serene and that gave me a grave headache each passing day.No one had cared to come and see if I was still breathing. He didn't even send anyone to bring me food.I had not seen Jack since that day the maid came for him in anger. I wonder how he was doing.He wasn't in a good shape that day when he was told to stay away from me.Anyway, he would soon forget about me, besides, he didn't know me well.On top of that, I was nothing to him. I was a nobody. Someone that his father could kill anytime he wanted. Besides, I wasn't complaining. I used to be abandoned and stay all by myself but the difference now was that I couldn't feel my wolf and the fact that I was starving.I scanned around the room, trying hard to remain conscious. My whole body was too weak to even get up.Thank the God
ANSEL POV“I have dealt with him.” Amos hesitated a little and I immediately knew there was something he wanted to add to that statement so I remained quiet, giving him enough time to continue.“She doesn't like him.”“I know.” I answered while perusing the reports in my hands as I checked the progress of the Pack's streams.“Then why did we have to make him suffer?” Raising my head, I looked at him.“He likes her.”“So?” He asked arrogantly then strolled to the chair opposite me and sat down,“We all know He won't be able to have her. Why then do you have to risk his poor life? Furthermore, the guy is too weak. He won't be able to survive our clutches.”“He shouldn't have touched her!” I grumbled in frustration then sighed and tried to calm myself down.“I thought you didn't like her…”“She is my mate.” I responded as a matter of fact.“But you said it yourself that you want to kill her. Even the council knows that.” He stopped then continued while trying to avoid my gaze, “Remembe
“Prepare a feast to celebrate my mother and the fact that we won the battle!” I blurted out suddenly, and all the people around were shocked by my decision.Maybe I was evil. My mother had died, and instead of mourning her, I was preparing for a feast to celebrate.‘No. You are not. That is what she wants you to do. To be happy.’‘Thank you, Serene.’ I had never been so happy with my sassy wolf than today.‘You!’ She shouted, and I laughed.“Okay, a feast to celebrate a new beginning and a new life!” Ansel blurted out, and all the pack members, plus our guests, looked in our direction in shock.“Your queen is expecting an heir.” Maybe they didn't hear when my mother talked about her grandson. I didn't know.“Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave! Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave!” They all chorused, and Ansel helped me up.“Where is Edric? He wasn't at the battle?” I asked as Ansel led me in the direction of the stairs.“Three of his council members died, so he had to go.”“It was my m
In one swift move, I was already on my heels and outside the room as if I wasn’t the one who was unwell. The only thing I could hear now was, ‘My mother!’She would be fine, right? Nothing would happen to her, right?Just a moment ago, we had been together, fighting side by side. What might have happened to her just now?All those thoughts kept replaying in my mind as I ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and into another hallway that led to the living hall. Something popped into my mind and I froze. She had no heart! She was living like a shadow!“Nooo!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as I increased my speed. Right now, I couldn't hear anyone speaking to me. I couldn’t see anyone beside me. All I wanted to see was Seraphina, my mother. Reaching the hall, my eyes started tearing up as I saw the woman on the couch, surrounded by some maids and other people I couldn’t recognize at this moment. I rushed to her and knelt on the floor, closer to the couch.“Baby girl.” She calle
The earth heaved, revealing hidden hundreds of witches clad in black, each with the same eerie white cross on their foreheads. Their village, previously hidden by powerful spells, now stood exposed before us.I swallowed hard and turned to Seraphina and she also turned to me."I am so proud of you, I myself didn't know that spell, how did you know it?"I averted my gaze away from her, "I also didn't know how I was able to perform it.""Do you believe that indeed, you were meant to save the wolf's species?" I nodded but the waves of shock rippled through me and by the whispers behind me, I could sense the shock in all of my people too.I could also sense the astonishment in the eyes of the soldiers and our allies. If not for the witches' attacks, we would have passed by this hidden stronghold, unaware of the danger lurking within.The witches, realising their concealment had failed, quickly regrouped. Forming a tight circle, they clasped hands and began chanting. Their voices rose in
EDNA POVMy breath came in shallow bursts as the trucks rumbled towards the witches' territory. It was time, time to pat back to the wiches for what they did to our brothers and sisters.I glanced around at my companions: Seraphina, her trusted confidante, sat beside her, while Coline lounged in the corner with an air of detachment. I had decided to suppress the need to ask her what she meant earlier because I could already see through her that she thought I was weak and that maybe, I used my beauty to be Ansel's mate.Silly her to judge me like that.How stupid was he to forget that there were also fate? That I was Ansel's fated mate?Indeed some people could be crazy and mad."Stay alert," Ansel's voice crackled over the radio-like. "We’re close."Immediately after I heard that, my heart started pounding in my chest. Suddenly, a loud screech filled the air as the lead truck swerved violently. What was going on?I turned my eyes in a bullet pace in front as we were at the top of
Edna's hands trembled slightly as she tightened the last strap of her armour.The preparations had been very tiresome to both of them, leaving her no time to question Ansel about the unfamiliar figures who had arrived earlier. Now, as everything was done, curiosity gnawed at her and she couldn't be silent anymore.She moved quietly through the hall towards her mate, Ansel, her mind focused on the impending battle but unable to shake her curiosity. Ansel was conferring with a group of warriors when she approached him. She leaned in close, her voice a soft whisper."Ansel, who were those two men and the woman with King Roshan earlier?"Ansel's eyes widened momentarily in realisation. He turned to her, a sheepish smile on his lips. "I am sorry, my love. I should have introduced them to you. Ooh no, why have I forgotten to do that and you are the qeen of wolves? You should be aware of who they are." He raised his voice, catching the attention of the mysterious guests."STEVE?" Ansel cal
Ansel sighed, his eyes softening as he looked at Edna. "I have to check on the warriors and make sure the cars are ready for our departure."Edna’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening. She threw off the pink robe, walked to the wardrobe, and pulled out a pair of trousers and a blue shirt. With quick, angry motions, she dressed herself, her movements sharp and agitated."Do you think I’m weak?" she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. "Is that why you want me to sleep while you go and prepare for the war with your men?"Ansel stepped towards her, his hands raised in a placating gesture. "No, Edna. You need rest for tomorrow. It’s not because I think you’re weak. You’re anything but that. How could you even conclude that?"Tears welled up in Edna’s eyes, and she cried, her shoulders shaking with the force of her sobs. Ansel was taken aback, shocked by her sudden burst of emotions. He rushed to her and hugged her from behind, murmuring sweet words into her ear.This woman was everyt
Ansel tenderly tucked a loose strand of hair behind Edna's ear, his touch gentle and reassuring. "I’m ready for the war," he murmured, his voice steady and confident. "Especially after what I have witnessed today, it's high time I do anything to avenge the wolves that lost their lives and also to stop this ones and for all."He then softened his gaze at her and added, "Thank you for trying to get information from those witches. I didn't expect you would do that alone to help me."Edna looked away, her shoulders slumping slightly. "I wish I could have gotten more. We need every advantage we can get."Ansel shook his head, lifting her chin so she would meet his eyes carefully. "What you found out is enough. You’re the most hardworking Luna this pack has ever had. The most courageous queen of Titanic Wave. And the first to be its queen, what else could I ask for feom the goddess? I have everything in you."A faint smile touched Edna's lips, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. "You’re
Ansel and Amos reached the packhouse in the middle of the night, their hearts heavy with the events of the day.Everything just happened fast. And as the days passed, many of their people were dying and Ansel just hoped that the higher house that made laws for all creatures would notice this and help him before it was too late.He could deal with everything himself but as law makers and people who pretended to be holy according to Ansel, they were supposed to open their eyes and see that the wolf species were at risk.But again, Ansel was aware who those people were. They were just corrupt beasts who were a bunch of good for nothing, lazy people who depended on others for information.Ansel ousted back those annoying thoughts then turned to the packhouse in front of him.The packhouse stood tall and silent, the moon casting long shadows over its wooden structure.Ansel moved with purpose, his grip on Sophia gentle yet firm as he carried her into a room adjacent to Jack's.At the time,
THIRD PERSON POV Ansel and Amos moved swiftly through the dense forest, their powerful legs propelling them forward as they leapt over fallen trees and navigated the rugged terrain. Their wolves had taken over and they were like beasts now, very huge and powerful with furs all over their bodies and claw-like fingers. The night air was thick with tension, and the moon cast an eerie glow on their path and on their wolf nature, causing them to be more powerful than before. After all, wolves were creatures we depended mostly on the moon to give them strength. Ansel’s mind was a storm of rage and sorrow, the news of the slaughter weighing heavily on his heart. The black witches had gone too far. How could they so heartless to kill over twenty wolves? That was mass murder and Ansel as the King of wolves, he needed to act swift. Or else, his people would suffer the consequences. When they finally reached the village, the scene that greeted them was one of unspeakable horror. The onc
