“We come in peace,” Calvin said smiling, trying to break the awkward silence as he raise his right hand turning his index and middle finger into a letter V as he tried to inform the people that we really don’t mean any harm, “We just want some drinks and meet some friendly people.”
The guy behind the bar chuckles and the whole bar eases up. People started minding their own businesses and turning their focus away from us.
“Well, what are you guys waiting for?” The guy behind the bar asks us, as he motions for us to come to sit at the bar.
Calvin hurriedly pulled me behind as he run towards the bar.
“So what can I get you guys?” he asks with his deep voice.

“So,” Seth started to say, “What’s bothering the beautiful Lana?”“Are you always this nosy with your customers?” I asked sarcastically.“Not really,” he said as he clean the counter, “I don’t really ask anyone any questions. Well, not unless I am interested to know more about that person.”“Are you hitting on me?” I bit my lips when I realized the question that I just asked.“Yeah,” Seth replied, “I am.”I scoffed. And the sound that I made just made the smile on his face broader. It’s like whatever I say does not even offend him.“That’s cute,&rdquo
“Alpha,” Sol called me out, “What’s your plan for the upcoming tournament? Are you going to allow them to have their mages join us?”“Alpha,” one of the warriors at the back shouted, “It would be a disadvantage for us.”“But we will still be at an advantage since the competition will be held on our turf,” another warrior shouted.“But still,” another warrior shouted, “magic is magic. We don’t have a mage on our team, I think it’s unfair.”“I already negotiated with the Alphas from Purple Hill,” I said, “I requested that there will be no mage who will join the competition.”“I don’t think th
I am not drunk. Or so I think. I am not sure if it was because the margaritas finally decided to kick in or if was it because of something that’s entirely unrelated to alcohol. I decided that it was the margaritas. It’s always better to blame it on the alcohol. How can I not, when I started to feel like my world is spinning? Like everything around me is moving in circles giving me a headache. A clear indication or symptoms of someone who is drunk. “Are you okay?” Seth asked as he pulls out of the parking lot. “Yeah,” I stammer as I roll down the window. The cold air hits my skin but it was not enough to wake up my senses. Instead, it felt like I was getting more drunk. “Aren’t you cold?” Seth asks. “Nope!” I answered as I shake my head. My sudden movement made me dizzy but for some weird reason, I start to feel happy. “Lana, Lana, Lana,” he said, calling my name. “What?” I asked defensively. I wanted to sound irritated, and the truth is I am usually irritated with people wh
I never thought I would hear those words from anyone at all. I never thought that someone would even consider telling me those words. But that’s not the worse of it. Because the worse of it was what I did after hearing those words. I took one look at him, without saying a word before I opened the door of Calvin’s truck and rushed out to the bushes at the side of the road. And started to vomit, I feel everything that I drank and the little food that I ate come rushing out of my body through my mouth. “Are you okay, Lana?” Seth said coming to my side. But unfortunately, my mouth was pretty occupied to give him an answer. I feel one of his hands holding my hair so that it won’t get in the way of the toxic bombs that’s been coming out of my mouth non-stop. “Sorry,” was the first word that I said the moment my torment subsided. “Can you stand?” Seth asks and I gave him a nod since that was the only thing I can manage right now. I leaned on Seth as he helped me walk toward Calvin’s
There are moments in our lives when we found ourselves surrounded by people and still feel so alone. These kinds of feelings and thoughts can sometimes drive you to the edge. Just like where I am standing now. I don’t know why I am standing on the edge of the cliff of a mountain, so high that you can’t even see the bottom of it. The wind is cold but it didn’t bother me. Maybe because I am already numb or maybe because I was too used to being so alone and cold and betrayed. “Lana,” someone whispered my name. It was so clear but not that loud enough. “Lana,” the same voice whispers my name. If I jump now, would all my misery end? Would my cracked skull, broken ribs, arms, and legs hurt less than my broken heart? “Lana,” the same warm and angelic voice called, but instead of ignoring it again, I turned around. The moment my eyes met his, a smile broke his handsome face as he reach out his hand to me. The courageous part of me tells me that everything will be okay if only I hav
Wake up, Lana!My inner demonic child calls out to me. I know that she’s currently making fun of me as we speak. She finds it funny whenever I place myself in uncomfortable situations.Wake up, Lana!This time, it’s my rational self who’s waking me up. I know it might sound like I am crazy, but I am not. Because the truth is told, every person has their own inner voice that always tells them a lot of things about everything that happens in one’s life.Rise and shine, Lana!My seductive inner goddess calls me out using the most seductive voice that she can come up with. Sometimes she just thinks that she’s so sexy when in reality there was nothing sexy about
There are times when I do not wake up. When I just want to fall into an indefinite sleep. And today is one of those days. Instead, of bringing me home Nori brought me to his and Calvin’s. Yup, the two of them have stayed together for a long time.“Nori,” I can hear Calvin trying to explain, “I am telling you that it’s all my fault.”“Yes!” Nori shouted, “How could you entrust Lana to someone you don’t even know.”“Are you accusing me of being an irresponsible friend?” Calvin said angrily.“What else should I call you then?” Nori snickers. This is not the Nori that I know of. Nori would never hurt Calvin. He would never do that.
“Stop staring at me, Calvin,” I said as I sat on his bed, “You’re going to bore a hole in my face.”“I just can’t believe what just happened,” Calvin said with amazement. I lay down on his bed as I try to remember how the scene unfold. Calvin’s face was filled with horror and the surprised look on Nori’s face was priceless.I remember the warning that Nori gave me. It was supposed to be a warning and yet it felt like he was cutting ties with me.*****‘This is the last time I will be coming to save you, Lana,’ Nori said, ‘If you keep on doing what you want and stop listening to me, I will never come again to save you.’‘Save me from what, Nori?’ I asked angrily, &
Hi, Purplelites!It’s been a while since the last time I left you a message. For those who are new, I welcome you with a warm heart. By the way, I have already started with the third and last book called Saving My Alpha. I hope that this book will answer all the unanswered questions that you have. Saving My Alpha is the continuation of both Claiming My Alpha and Redeeming My Alpha and more. The timeline takes place before Anya turns 18 and is about to shift with her wolf. I know that you miss Little Mikey and Baby Anya and Mikey’s cute claim that Anya would be his Luna. And are all curious if they would really be Fated Mates? All of that will be addressed in Saving My Alpha. Not only that but new characters will be revealed and some old ones will also make a reappearance. And that’s not all, the final battle between good and evil will finally be set. Will they finally get the peace that they have all been fighting for? And at what cost? Once again, thank you all for your const
I don’t exactly remember everything that happened. Just fragments of it. But the moment that I opened my eyes, tears started to flow. I also can’t understand why my heart felt like it was breaking into million pieces. Like I have lost the love of my life. Like a very big part of me disappeared. I wiped the tears on my face and decided to check the state our pack was in. I started walking towards the packhouse and found Drake lying lifelessly on the ground. I rushed towards him to check his state and the moment that I saw the state that he was in my heart was crushed. Where was I when his legs were being beaten to a pulp? What kind of friend am I when I couldn’t even help him? I called out the medic of our pack, and our healers, and told them to prioritize Drake and to make sure that he wouldn’t feel any pain at all. As they carried Drake away I couldn’t help but feel devastated at the state that our pack was in. If only I wasn’t a weak person then maybe this would not have happen
I watch as the woman I love was being lifted into the air. “Lana!” I shouted but she didn’t move.Suddenly the soft voice that I love so much to hear spoke. ‘Don’t blame yourself,’ Lana whispered through the mind link but it felt like she was whispering softly in my ear, ‘It’s not your fault baby. I made a choice, and this is my choice. I only have one request. Find our son. Find him for me. I love you, always.“NO!” I shouted out loud. I was stupid, how can I call myself her Fated Mate when I can’t even save her? I should have known, I should have stopped her. I should have protected her. I should have done everything to keep her safe. But here I am staring at her as she was being lifted in the air and I have no power to get her. Just then a bright light appeared followed by a loud explosion. The explosion didn’t bother me as I continue to look at my Luna who was still in the air. I look at her and watch as she slowly falls to the ground. I rushed to her not allowing her to fall
After seeing what had happened in Purpura, I was filled with guilt. I know that my mom means well but at that time I let my emotions take over me. I didn’t mean to say those words that I have said but I wasn’t able to control myself. The moment that we reached the packhouse I knew that I need to find Dana. I know how much she disagree with my decision that’s why she offered to be the sponge instead of me. But after hearing what Selene said, I just can’t let another part of my family die in vain. ‘Baby,’ I said to Seth through a mind link, ‘I need to see my sister.’ ‘Everyone’ Seth said as he open a mind link for the rest of the team, ‘You know what to do.’I know that for me to be able to do my plan I need Seth out of my way. But for now, while I can’t find Dana, I need his help because it would be faster if he was with me. We continue to look for Dana while fighting off those that get in our way. I was getting more used to using my power while making sure that I don’t overuse it.
As soon as I returned to our pack, I received some bad news from Jericho. Because just right before I returned the elite warrior that asked for my permission to survey the land where Ares and Isabel were, had died. The rest of the team that was with him had already returned to deliver the bad news.As much as they wanted to get the body of their team leader, there was just no way to get it. Because if they did try, they would have also ended up dead. I made sure to set a time to meet with the young man’s family in honor of his service. To ensure that his bravery and effort will not go unrecognized. But for now, we made sure that the intel that he was able to get would not go to waste. I immediately called all our alliance packs, especially Drake to report the information that we got so that they can start preparing for what was about to come. Even though we already have made our own preparations, I still requested one final check just to make sure that everything will go according
I didn’t know that Purple Hill and several other packs were attacked. I was surprised to learn that there were so many things that had happened while Dana and I were in Purpura. We stayed for dinner at my mom’s before deciding to head back. But as I was watching my mom serves us food to eat, I decided to stay for the night before going back. But because of the surprise attack, as much as Seth wanted to stay with me, he just can’t. He felt sorry that he had to leave me behind but a part of me was relieved that I will be alone. Dana wanted to be left behind as well but my mom urges her to go home with Nori. She said that she and Nori should really fix whatever it was that was going on between them. And if being together doesn’t really work out she will understand. She made sure that Dana knows that she will never be disappointed with her no matter what happen between them and even welcome her back home. “Want some tea?” My mother asks me. But I know that there was something more in
I called Jericho to check the status of my pack and found out that no surprise attack happened there. I was relieved to know that nothing happened to my pack but when I looked at the remnants of the surprise attack, I can’t help but feel guilty about what I felt. Nori called me and asked me to follow him inside. He leads me to the meeting room of the packhouse where Drake, Leon, and Drake’s parents were. I saw some other people that I did not recognize that Nori said were part of the council. “I just received the news that other packs from our alliances were also attacked,” Drake said “but it was not the same attack as ours. The rogue wolves attacked them from their pack entrance and no portal was opened.” Murmurs filled the room. “Our pack was not attacked,” I said, which made the whispers louder than it already is, “It came to me as a surprise as well, but I think I know why we weren’t attacked.” All the attention came my way. “Share us your thoughts, Alpha,” Drake’s dad said
Nori was reluctant to leave Lana and Dana alone, he was so afraid that the two of them will fight if we leave them alone. But I told her that I trust Lana won’t do something that would hurt his sister. It was not easy for Nori because he have seen the way the two of them bicker. Which made me a bit prouder to know that I know Lana more than he does. Lana would never hurt Dana because, despite’s Lana anger, I know that Lana loves Dana so much to hurt her. “Are you really sure it’s okay to leave the two of them alone?” Nori asks as he held onto his steering wheel unsure if we should leave or not.“Don’t you trust Lana?” I asked him. “I do,” Nori answered, “Actually, I don’t trust the two of them,” Nori said as he looks at me. What Nori said made me laugh. “What’s so funny?” Nori asks as my action made him confused. “Just drive already,” I said irritably, “Lana won’t do anything bad to Dana.” My change in mood finally convinced him to pull out of the parking lot and started drivi
As I sat in front of Seth and listen to everything that he was saying about what happened to my sister and what she did my emotions went all over the place. It was like I was riding a rollercoaster that just reached its peak and then went down so fast that I felt like I was going to burst. I can hear Seth but after hearing something about our son I couldn’t hear anything else. It’s like my world suddenly stopped and it felt like my world was once again falling apart. I can feel all my anger and all the questions that I have ready to burst out of me, that’s when I noticed that Seth has stopped talking and was just silently looking at me. Watching me, his eyes filled with concern. I took a deep breath, as I try to control all my emotions and all my thoughts but the moment that I open my mouth I can feel all my anger go along with it. “Where is my sister?” I asked. “She’s staying with your mom and Nori in Purpura trying to get better,” Seth said, “And we’ll see them after you have d
