Life was never easy for me, and I don’t blame anyone for it. Ever since the party that my father held for our unborn child, several rumors have already spread as people question my ability to rule our pack. I have been continuously working my ass in combat training, pack runs, and leadership lessons from my father just to prepare for this day. The day when I will prove to each and every one in our pack that I deserve the title which would assure the safety of Lana and our baby. I already expected that the elders would never go easy on me. Actually, it wouldn’t have mattered to me what they thought or if I didn’t become the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, but because of the threat that they pose to my family, I had to do everything there is that needed to be done. “I know that it has been a tradition for us to pass the position of being an Alpha of the pack to our most powerful sons. But with all due respect Alpha, I have to disagree right now. No offense, Seth, but having a mage f
As Seth opened the door of his father’s office, I was surprised to see the beautiful old lady that I saw in the council meeting earlier. “Finally,” Seth’s father said as he gestured for us to take a seat on the long couch opposite the beautiful old lady. “My favorite son and daughter-in-law,” he exclaimed happily as he took the seat just in front of his office desk. “Dad,” Seth called his father, “I am your only son. Well, unless you’re hiding someone that I didn’t know about.”“Where did your sense of humor go, Mikael?” The lady from the council asks as she sips on the cup in her hand. I have never seen anyone as elegant as she was. It was not only that. Everything about her just screams elegance. And I have to admit that despite her age only shows because of the grey highlights in her hair, and the thin lines on the side of her eyes and lips, I would have never thought that she was old. The way she dresses is just the perfect clothes of royalty. Her movements and even the way sh
The sun was bright and the sky was clear, I was sitting on one of the branches of the tall trees of Purpura.I watch the view that unfolds before me, how the rays of the sun shine down on top of the canopy of the tall and colorful trees of Purpura just before it was about to set.I closed my eyes as I feel a soft breeze touch my skin. And I was surprised at how cold it was when the sun was still shining brightly high up in the sky. So instead of giving me the warmth that I was looking for, I ended up being cold.“Your mother is looking for you” A voice so familiar called unto me. I look down to confirm if I was right because lately, all that’s been happening to me is the opposite.“Are you okay,” Nori asks. Knowing hi
I stood at the edge of one of the spots that Lana and I used to go to. I remember the sound of her laughter. Her fast comebacks as I tease her. I remember how it felt to have her close to me. I pulled out a small black velvet box from my pocket and opened it. ***** ‘If someone is going to propose to me I want a ring with a diamond this big,’ Calvin exclaimed as he showed Lana the magazine in his hand. ‘What the hell, Cal,’ Lana exclaimed, ‘That’s two big.’ ‘The bigger the stone the bigger his love is for you,’ Calvin explains. ‘It doesn’t work that way,’ Lana said softly. ‘What do you mean by that?’ Calvin asked all confused, ‘Well, if it’s you then what kind of ring would it be?’ I lifted my head slightly to look at Lana. The smile on her face made my heart beat erratically. I always love seeing her smile, because it makes me so happy as well. ‘I want something that no one else would have,’ Lana answered, ‘Something meaningful like he really thought about me while buying
Humans. Shifters. Mages. What do the three of them have in common? They all have lives to live. And the only difference they all have would be how they live their lives. I am not from some well-known, well-off, and well-connected family. I am an orphan who has no one to turn to when life gets shitty. I don’t have a nice bed or a warm home to sleep in. It just changed the moment that Drake’s mom decided to take care of the four of us. Me, Calvin, Leon, and her son, Drake, the future Alpha of Purple Hill. I know that at times I can be an ass, no, make that most of the time. Despite all the things that I had done wrong. All the unreasonable things that I do. There is always that one person who always reminds me that I was more than my past. So much more than my mistakes. But she didn’t stop there. Because she also showed me that a person like me was worthy of so much love. A love that she was willing to give an undeserving man like me. Who, instead, of just returning that love t
I woke up with the smell of freshly cooked bacon and pancakes. I turned to my side and my body was filled with happiness as the warmth and softness of the bed and comforter wrapped around me.Bacon. Pancakes. Bed. Comforter. As I recite these things my body automatically jerked up as the cold truth splash me with the realization that I shouldn’t be smelling or feeling such things. As far as4 I remember, I wasn’t in a warm comfortable place last night. To add to it, there wasn’t even a kitchen there. So where the hell am I? “Good Morning sleepy head,” Calvin greeted me with a smile. “Where am I?” I asked in a panic. “My house bitch,” Calvin replied. “What am I doing here?” I asked getting more confused, “How did I get here?” “I found you,” Calvin replied softly, “We have a lot of time to talk about it but for now, let’s eat. I am starving. He places a plate in front of me with food in it. I have known Calvin my whole life and I have never seen him this calm. He was never out of
There are moments in our lives when we couldn’t help but feel lost. Sometimes, when something that you didn’t really want was laid down on you and people expect you to do a good job, nothing more, nothing less. You will be under the radar, watching your every move. Some will appreciate you for all your efforts, while most of them will always have something to say about you regardless if you did a good job or not.At first, I used to believe that I was strong enough to be unaffected by whatever it was that I would hear. I guess I don’t really care when people talk about me. But when it comes to Lana, it’s not only me who goes crazy, because Kai is way worse than I am.I am the future Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, and for Lana and Nathaniel to have to live a life free and safe, I need to show everyone who I am and what I am destined to be. But in my attempt to do that, I need to change.‘You know, private lives are something I don’t usually discuss. But lately, Luna has not been actin
Do you ever get that feeling when you just want to run away and give everything up?Like you have reached your limit and no matter how hard you try nothing seems to go your way?It’s like you are in this endless loop that has no end.It’s also kinda weird because I know that this is not how I feel. I mean I do feel defeated at times but I am not the kind of person who just gives up. The person that I know would take every bad thing that happened to him like it was a challenge. The harder the problem, the more I like it.I like the feeling that it gives me whenever I solve a problem. More so if it exceeded my expected outcome. That’s why I was having a hard time trying to figure out why I feel I am always angry all the time. ‘Mikael,’ a soft voice called my name. The name that only people who are close to me, and my parents, specifically my mother, know. I opened my eyes and looked around me as I tried to figure out where the hell I am. ‘Mikael,’ the soft voice called my name once a
