EDNA POVHis voice, a raspy whisper, echoed in the darkness as he glared at me.My breath hitched in my throat. My brother? Could it be that the rumours were right?Doubt gnawed at the edges of my mind, fueling the rising tide of fear.Was this a dream or was it real?This horrifying vision felt so real. It clung to me like a shroud, leaving me with a gnawing sense of unease.My heart raced, breath quickened and muscles tensed.My mind struggled to break free from the nightmare's grip. Then, with a gasp, I bolt upright, breaking the suffocating hold of the dream as reality floods back in, like a sudden burst of light dispelling shadows.Only to realise where I was!I was in the forest and on my hands, I was gripping someone's neck roughly as I squeezed him on a tree.We were in a bush in the middle of the forest!I felt so powerful as I shook the man who was now shocked and terrified with the sight before him.'Let me go!' I swallowed hard as I remembered the way the huge man trie
Could it be that I killed my whole family as the rumours suggested?"Who am I?" I screamed at the bottom of my lungs in the room.If I wasn't a wolf, then who was I?Again, I had Serene because I was able to shift when I turned eighteen.Then why was I able to perform magic?Yes, that was magic!I had tied the man magically!I couldn't understand what was going on with me.If I was sleeping and having a nightmare, how then did I end up in the forest?On top of that, in front of a gigantic man who was escaping to Goddess, know where!How was I able to end up with him?And the pain?I frantically threw my hand at my back and there was no wound!'I healed it!''Y-you are still lying, why?' This time, I mind-linked my wolf unhappy with the way she kept on lying to me.I knew I was a wolf and that I could heal myself.But not that quickly considering how deep the would was.I wasn't so strong, nor was my wolf.I needed some days to get better.Even Serene did not have the power to heal me
"Edna!" I called out, panic creeping into my voice that my voice was shaky.Still no answer, my heart nearly stopped.Edna was lying in the bathtub, water cascading over her unconscious form. Her face was pale, and her lips had a bluish tint.Her beautiful wavy and long locks were all over her face that I had to run my hands all over it to remove it from her face so that I could see her well.Without a second thought, I carried her out of the bathtub, my heart thumping like a church speaker.I was so terrified to my bones that I was shaking all over as I held her to me.Her body was cold, and I could feel the slight tremors of her muscles under her wet skin.Sitting on the floor and then making her sit on me, I wandered my eyes all over her with fear in my eyes, "Edna, wake up!" I shook her gently, trying to rouse her. Still, no response.I laid her on the bathroom floor and checked for a pulse. At first, I couldn't feel anything causing shock and fear to make my sight dim and I ran
I just sighed, unable to say anything, after all, I was also unaware of what was going on with her.I squeezed her hand gently and I could feel as if she wanted to remove her hands from mine but I tightened my grip a little bit not letting go. "You're not alone in this. We'll find out the truth, whatever it is. But right now, you need to rest and regain your strength. You have gone through a lot." "A-are you sure you are in this with me?!" She looked shocked as she asked and at the same time worry was her bread.I could tell she was thinking that I would behave the way I used to behave with her.But that was completely opposite of how I wanted to behave with her right now."Yes. I am in this with you now. I won't let you suffer alone because I know you are also not aware of what is going on with you." Her eyes softened and I could sew her blushing."What are you thinking about?" I teased and she averted her gaze and I could tell, she was embarrassed.All this time, my little buddy be
'Are you questioning my orders?' 'No! No Alpha, never!' 'Good, now go and do exactly what I have instructed you to do and make sure you assemble the members first.' And I cut off the mind-link.As I left Edna's room, I could still feel the lingering warmth of her presence. It was a sensation both alien and intoxicating. I clenched my fists, trying to ground myself, to focus on what needed to be done. If I wanted to put Ramsey down, then I needed to focus.Amos's voice interrupted my thoughts. 'Alpha, the council is assembled in the war room. They are now waiting for you.''I’m on my way,' I replied, quickening my pace down the dimly lit corridors of the pack house. Every step echoed with the weight of responsibility, each heartbeat a reminder of the urgency at hand.The war room buzzed with tension as I entered. All the council members—older and young, wiser male wolves turned their sharp gazes toward me. Their eyes reflected a mixture of curiosity and concern, no doubt stirred by
"Yes, we must stand with our Alpha through thick and thin." Another one defended.Suddenly, all of them stood from their sitting positions and they all agreed with him with screams of determination and courage to defend their pack.With all that done, I dismissed them and walked back to the corridors that led me to Edna's room.I already missed her soft hands and her presence.Things had changed so fast that now, all I wanted was to see her.Gone were the days when I hated her and now, I desire her.Would this end well?Well, I hoped so because I was not ready to be betrayed again.Luckily, I haven't decided about her and me."Daddy!" I was pulled back from daydream by the voice of the child.It was Jack!Was I ready to face him?No!Should I just ignore him?Of course I couldn't! I did have the heart to do that, I wasn't that evil."Jack, where have you been?" I didn't know what I was even saying. "Last time ij the ship you told me I could visit Miss Edna, have you forgotten?" I ju
EDNA POVI bit my lower lip hard while averting my gaze away from him.I didn't know what to tell him.Again, I wasn't sure if he was okay with the way he was behaving lately. He was completely different.But I liked it that way. Even though I was terrified of his new behaviour.“I-it's not right…”“To overdrop on people?” He finished what I was unable to finish after cutting my words short.He drew closer to the bed and my heart started to thumb erratically in my chest. I was already anxious about what he wanted to do to me.At the same time, I was overwhelmed with happiness seeing him staring at me like a woman not like a slave or a she-wolf whom he hated.What came over him?My whole body was already shaking and I could feel the heat between my legs.“W-what are you doing, Alpha?” “What am I doing? Or is there something you want me to do, little wolf?” He smiled and I was about to freeze where I was.What was this feeling?‘He is our mate, remember?’ Serene chimed and I rolled my
The day ended without me seeing Alpha Ansel again. Sincerely, I felt sad because I wanted to see him again but he never appeared. “Why are you still awake, Red?” Jack had been calling me red since that time. I was annoyed at first but eventually, I got used to it and let him. After all, the way he called it was so cute that I couldn't resist it or tell him not to call me that. He had also slept with me in my room saying that he was scared of sleeping in his own room. I have asked him if the other days he wasn't scared sleeping alone but he just made a sad face causing me to just let him be. At first, I thought his maids would come for him and take him away with them but they didn't. Now we are here, sleeping together. Well, I didn't know what his father or foster father would say when he found out about this but I just hoped for the best. Thinking of it, he wasn't his real son. Alpha Ansel must be going through a lot and I just felt sad about it. “I don't fe
