Leonard’s POVJudging by the look on their faces immediately I entered the meeting room, they were not expecting to be called upon at such an odd hour. Well, not like I give a f**k about how they feel.They all stood and bent their heads in submission while I motioned them to have their seats.I hate the fact that these old geese pretend so well, it gets on my nerves to see them act like all is going on smoothly. Yet I was ready to play the game with them.“We were able to apprehend the rogues who attacked Blue Moon Pack…” I scanned them from the corner of my eyes and saw some flicker in their gazes.A smirk sneaked its way to the corners of my lips as one of them looked bothered about what I had said.“Hmmmm…” I heard someone clear their throat and adjusted his tie out of fear. I was getting a lead, but what’s the fun in catching them just like that?Because some of them missed the meeting, it was a clue they were scared to face the consequences of their actions, running away from t
Following the scent was easy, but driving out the shoppers wasn’t as they all thought we had cheated them with our status in society.“A VIP session please,” Oriel had insisted that we wanted to shop without any third party. That was the only way to save the day.The attendants had agreed without much contemplation. I guess it’s always about the money for humans.Well, I had followed the scent of the rogue who had done his job and left the store. I disconnected the time bomb that was supposed to explode if we had delayed a minute. I’m still fazed at how I remember every detail of this day. Oriel and Chris had expressed how happy they were to see that I was gradually getting my memory back.“Are you going to sit there forever?” Oriel’s voice suddenly brought me back to reality.I impulsively jumbled a few words that weren’t audible. Even I didn’t know what I wanted to say.“Get your lazy ass off that bed,” this time she was technically screaming as she dragged me off the bed, pushing
I tried to look back, but Oriel’s voice caused me to halt. “You are so silly Liza, I almost fell for that,” her words spilled out once she chugged down her shot. Discomfort swept through my being like running water as the eerie gaze was still fixed on me. I felt like taking my leave, but didn’t also want to spoil Oriel’s fun. Since we decided to have some drinks before heading back home, I could as well just pretend all was well.“Look who we have here!” Jade’s voice buzzed across as he wrapped his arms around Oriel in a friendly hug. He probably wouldn’t have passed for your popular models, but he’s definitely as hot as smoke. He was simply dressed in a crisp white shirt and a brown pant which complemented his faultless face.“We have Liza here?” it was more of a statement than a question as he extended his hand to me. I shook his hand, returning his smile.“You ladies aren’t going to sit and just drink, are you?” he asked as he askedas he gazed at us curiousily.“We’d be taking…
Leonard’s POVTo say I was disorganized during my meeting was to put it mildly. Lucil won’t stop to pace up and down my mind.I tried keeping calm and composed to make sure the meeting ran smoothly. The whole time I was literally muttering inaudible words to keep Lucil calm, but it was all to no avail.For a split moment, Lucil was calm and I had thought whatever was disturbing him had been resolved. But what happened next was nothing short of tranquility.“Arrrrghhhh…” Lucil howled so loud like he’d been injured. If I didn’t know better, I would have said the whole room could hear him howl.“You need to leave this meeting now,” he said with a strong resolve as if we’d discussed me going anywhere before.I was confused as to what was going on with my wolf. “The meeting isn’t ending anytime soon. You have to keep calm and allow me to concentrate,” “No! You need to get going right now. End this meeting!” he was back to pacing up and down. Arrrhg… f**k distraction!Shoving aside his wor
Oriel’s POV“Holy s**t! Can’t you face your front?”“Oh my bad… I’m so sorry,” I extended the handkerchief I was holding to the lady, but she spank my hand away from her.“Ouch!” I muttered. I was only trying to right my wrong. The drink she was holding spilled the moment I bumped into her.“You should watch where you are going girl,” she grunted as she stormed and walked away.The point is I wasn’t paying attention, I just wanted to meet Liza so we could head home.By now Alpha Nicholas would be worried we a
“Yes please… I am sorry-” his breath shaking. I released my grip on him, making him slump right into the chair.Jade let out a sigh of relief once I let go of my grip on his friend. A lingering silence followed as the boys all got the message, I wasn’t in the mood for any s****y attitude.Though I considered them cool and easy to vibe with, they should learn to respect boundaries and not talk ill of others. Especially when you don’t even know them well.My gaze roamed around as my mind scurried through the possible place Liza could be.“Have you checked the woods? She might have been bored and probably went for a walk in the woods…” the other guy said as he adjusted his seating position.I slowly nod my head. “I think you do have a point. Come to think of it, Liza likes taking a walk,” I smiled as realizing her possible location dawned on me.I sprang to my feet, emptied the last drop of champagne, and audibly muttered a thank you to the guy.“I’m off, guys. Thanks for the company. I
Leonard’s POVAllowing Lucil to be in control was the best decision I made. His passion for finding and rescuing her from whatever trouble was unmatched.I’ve never felt him so protective like this. It made me wonder if my wolf had been swapped without my consent or what.I don’t understand why he would care so much about someone whose identity is so shady. She’s fake and that’s the reality. The reality that Lucil is yet to accept.But the earlier Lucil realizes that the better for him. I don’t want him nagging and lecturing me about some mate’s bullshit.“Just this once Lucil,” I whispered, placing my hand on my ear. Hoping he’d listen to me. “We are never doing this again man. I know you are pretending not to hear me. But, this would be the first and last time I’d be dragged into this kind of situation,”I went on and on while Lucil chose to ignore my ranting. Lucil jumped the cliff that was supposed to be a barrier to entering this particular forest.My eyes widened. She can’t pos
No matter how strong the pull is, I’m never allowing her in my heart. She’s not deserving of me or my Luna title.A Luna is someone who sticks by your side, fights by your side, and stays with you while you lead the people.She’s no Luna material. Though inhabiting the body of someone who was my mate, her soul is not my mate’s soul. That is enough reason to kill every form of affection towards her.“You see this… this right here is one of the reasons I can never feel any affection towards you,” I said to her while picking the tip of my nose. “Who comes into the woods with a stranger you met at a party?”I tilted her head to the side, expecting a reply from her.I know it’s not possible as she had passed out, but I wonder how gullible she could be to land in this messy situation.“Aren’t you so daft?” my brows raised, “you should learn to do a good job hiding your identity,” I muttered, “If you continue to act so gullible like this, they’ll find out sooner or later,” I scoffed.“Do you
Leonard's POV I badly wanted to stop him. The pull became stronger the more I tried.“She f******* doesn't have a wolf. Why this insatiable pull?” I winched out of confusion.I haven't seen her since I came to the party. And right now, I have to search for her.I need to be sure whatever is happening is supposed to be. I need to find Oriel. She can help me know the truth. I need her to move past this phase.“Is she with a wolf now? Is our mate bond getting stronger or is it wearing off?”This pull can mean any of the options and I need to find out. That's the only way out of this ordeal.I couldn't talk to Lucil, he wasn't having it easy too. I know how much he has always wanted to reunite with her wolf.If she's back, then I doubt if there's a way out for me. Lucil comes first to me.I started walking up the stairs. I didn't know where I was going, but I just had to.The packed house has been renovated and is now different from how I left it.I held my chest slightly and continued
Leonard's POV Alpha Nicholas is a good friend of my father, saying no to his invitation to his party wouldn't sit well with my parents.If I say I wouldn't make it, no one would force me. But what's there to lose? I have a business to take care of here in Glassland. It was perfect timing, so why not?I looked at the paperwork on my table and sighed. Who goes to a party when having loads of work to do?“Don't be a boring f****! Unwind, relax and chill. It's better than sticking your stuff into that ugly thing,”Lucil drooled after his last word and I couldn't help but shake my head.Far from enjoyment, this party is business for me. I need to meet up with a few people and confirm some of my suspicions.I hibernated my laptop and got out of the suite where I'd been staying for a few days now. The party started hours ago. But yes, what's the fun of getting there early?According to plan, I only have to show up, congratulate Alpha Nicholas and his Luna, present my gift, do my business
Annabel's POV I looked around carefully and the only thing I could see was brightness.Where on earth is this place? I thought in my head.“This is a realm different from the world that you know,” I flinched as the brightness provided an answer to the question running through my head.It just answered my question. A question that I didn't ask. How possible is that?What is this? A brightness that reads the mind? “My child, you have no cause to be alarmed,” and for some unknown reasons, I felt calm, cool and collected.For the first time in a long while I felt like I was in a haven. From the brightness, a being emerged. Her face shone and I couldn't look her straight in the eyes.But far from terror and fear, I felt peace and tranquility. Each of her steps was enshrined in grace.She exuded authority, power and dominance. A thought clipped in my head, whoever I saw in the past isn't the same person in the void.But why? Why must I have encounters with different mystical beings? I k
Annabel's POV Confusion gripped me once I looked to my right and I couldn't find Oriel. Where could she be?With immediate effect, I stood from my seat and started walking down the stairs.I felt drawn to the room on the left before the first staircase. Trusting my instincts, I decided to go in and confirm why I would be drawn.Just then, the event of following my instincts and seeing what I shouldn't see struck me like lightning.I shouldn't repeat my mistake, but here I am torn between writing a different script and repeating the previous one.“It's just a few minutes left to the full moon, you can't possibly allow her to be just anywhere by this time,”I know Oriel is a strong girl, but she still has a lot to learn. I see her like the little sis I never had. Plus, she's a sweet soul. I couldn't love her less.I pushed open the door and to my shock. An unidentified man was on Oriel trying to strangle her with a throw pillow.Her words were muffled which was the reason why I couldn
Annabel's POV I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the icy blue dress that I got from the store a few weeks ago. Dad had announced the date of his wedding with Fiona, and myself and Oriel had gone to get a dress each for the occasion.The dress matched my eyes and went well with my silver-dyed hair. The fabric hugged my curves seamlessly. Oriel's dress was the same as mine, but amber in color. A match for her eyes.“Hurry guys, we are going to be late,” Chris' voice echoed through the door.“Yes sir!” We both replied in unison. Oriel looked fantastic and I wish this event would be more amazing.I've been learning to trust Fiona again. After our last confrontation, she had been trying to make amends and the truth is, her efforts cannot be unnoticed.Chris had pointed out how close we used to be before the whole saga happened and I hope we can one day take off from where we left.“Okay, ladies! It's not your wedding day for Goddess's sake… I'm coming in,”Before we could protest,
“You think we fear you? You think you are the most dreadful Alpha around?” He looked like a piece of s***. Less wonder why his words didn't bother me. The voice of one of the captured welcomed us as we stepped into the dungeon. He kept running his mouth as we stood in their front.His hair was a dark blonde that would have looked amazing if healthy, but what he had was far from healthy. My eyes ran over to his face, he had a scar on his face, close right to his mouth and I could see that was the mark Derek had given him before they broke out through the help of whoever did.I was silent. Just looking at the space between his head and that of his partner who had black hair, as unhealthy as his partner in crime.For some weird reason, he looked feeble and uninterested in this assignment, but I've dealt with many of his types.When I was new to this game, I had thought people like him were being used and forced out of their will to do evil, but over time, I realized it was all a façade
Leonard's POV “D*** it!”“Give me all the s**** babe!”“F***!”“Grind that spot you b****!”“Grind it like your lifeline is tied to it!”I groaned in pleasure as Tricia continued to grind my d*** with her h****p** I had no intention of getting her f***** today, but she sure knows when I need to release some tension.“Arrrrrrrgh!” I jerked her off my lap and bent her over my study room mahogany table. This girl has made me realize how strong this table is.My favorite spot for a not-too-categorized quickie is my study. My room would raise a long hypothesis about settling down from my parents.I mean the last time, Father already told me I wouldn't be having a swearing-in party if I didn't bring my Luna or talk about Liza.“Ohhhhhh! S***! F***!”“Holy s***!”“Yesssssss!!!!”Tricia kept going on and on mumbling dirty words as I kept hitting her G-s***. I held her waist with my right hand and covered her mouth with my left.I do not want her noise to cause a scene as it is. I could stil
It's been a few days since I last saw Chris. He's been out of the pack running errands for Alpha Nicholas.I'm out for a walk in the woods. Though I do not fancy taking walks in the woods. But, I can't explain the way I've been acting lately.I feel like I'm developing new characters, but scrap that, it feels so familiar. I bet it's all due to my situation.“Our wedding is taking place on the next full moon,” Dad had been so happy to break the news to me over dinner last night.Don't be surprised I called him Dad. It's kinda coming naturally to me these days. I say that with fewer struggles than I used to.Am I happy for him? I honestly don't think I give a cent about his wedding or whatever he's planning with Fiona.I only hate the fact that I'm going to have a stepmother in my new life too. What a twist of fate.What led to my demise in my last life is still much present in my present life. But blaming the mysterious being is not what I feel like doing today.The last time I did thr
Annabel’s POVSince Fiona eavesdropped on my conversation with Oriel, I've been extra careful of how I carry myself in the pack house.For all I care, she might have people spying on me. Yet, I am not ready to give them what they desperately want on a platter of gold.“You can always talk to me Liza, I'll be more than glad to give my ears,” those were her words to me just last night after dinner.She must think it's easy to trust and open up. But of what significance is doing so when everyone is going to desert you once they know you for who you are? The grande vibration from my phone ushered me back to reality. It was time for my meeting. I was already dressed and ready.The alarm ring sure came at the right time. Truth is, since my encounter with the mysterious being, I have become more serious with my training.One way to get the answers to my numerous and ocean-wide questions is to train my mind and body. Once I picked up my backpack and put my phone, a bottle of water and my jo
