Sitting before the looming and imposing alpha, Diana fidgeted. Her fingers collided with each other as her eyes remained fixated on the table between them. Diana had been holding her breath from time to time, she was avoiding smelling his minty pine scent.
Diana knew that she was treading into dangerous territories. After all, her mate along with his wolf was angry with her series of actions. The veil of woodland scent sprinkled by Rakiz Lemoir before he went away to meet Shinro was her only defense to stop the wreck that she was in.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down her spine as she continued to fidget. Her mind was frantic for she was reliving the moment she saw the room of her parents down to the moment that she was chased by Elder Shananel’s delta werewolves. It was either this pain or the thirst to shift and let herself be sm
“SHE IS PLANNING to go down,” said Rakiz Lemoir in a whispered voice. He was now hunched atop the rooftop parallel to the restaurant where Diana Ritchell was situated along with her prospective mate. A voice whispered back in a yelling tone. Her hot breath fanned over Rakiz Lemoir’s nape, making shivers run amok down his spine. “I thought that zhe ran away from him the first time they met?” “Goddess, Laville! Stop acting like a freaking mushroom, will you?” Rakiz Lemoir snapped. Laville, who was Shinor’s chosen beta and the Black Ridge Pack’s new beta, merely rolled her eyes. Rakiz Lemoir’s attention was now fixated on the sun-kissed woman with kinky hair that reached her slim waist as if it was her second skin. He continued even when for a lapse of a moment, he went lost from her pool of rich blue eyes. Not minding that he was on the verge of choking from the accumulated spit that clogged his parched throat, he opened his clenched mouth. “And yes she did ru
Kissing Dylan was nothing like Diana's measly imagination that could come up with. His lips were much softer than they look, but their hard command against hers contradicted that. When his wet tongue touched the seam of her lips, Diana shamelessly opened up for him and the way he expertly slid it against her own caused her to moan embarrassingly loud. His large hands went to her waist and their warmth seared through the thin silk dress she wore. Her own hands flew to his hair when she fisted and tugged him closer against her – against her better judgment. Her curves fit right along the hard edges of his body and all she could think of was that she wanted his clothes off. Diana let go of his hair and reached down to grasp the hem of his silk shirt before she tugged it up. She almost protested at the loss of his lips against hers but the way he reached behind him to pull his shirt off by the neckline definitely made up for it. Her mouth was practically watering as she eyed his lean
Diana woke up fresh for the first in what it felt like a long time. Her wolf, Teshin, purred languidly at the back of her mind. Rolling her eyes, she was smacked by the gorgeous sight beside her – her sleeping mate in his naked glory. Tiptoeing, Diana wore his discarded shirt before she went to the bathroom to wash herself up. When faced with the mirror, Diana could no longer deny herself – she was contented. Shaking her head, she knew there was no more point running away. What she feared the most was accepted by Dylan. Despite the fact that he once hunted witches, he would protect her – and now, she did not doubt it. She felt it through their bond. She was his as he was hers. Two entities bound together by a bond to death. This time, Diana wanted to believe in the mate bond one more time. Dylan proved it to her time and time again that not all mates were like Axel Crescent. She only hoped that she was indeed right. There was a saying: shame on you if you fool me once, shame on
Standing inside Shinro’s office with Dylan by her side and Seymor behind them, Diana first met the gaze of Rakiz Lemoir before she looked at Laville and then to Shinro. “You’re here. Have a seat, please.” Shinro did not use his alpha command nor did he release his alpha instincts. He was careful with the way he looked at Diana after being subjected to a suppressing stare-down by Alpha Dylan Cain. Dylan stopped Diana from speaking first. “Before we begin planning, let us swear an oath here first that no word will leave this room. And yes, I don’t trust you with my mate’s secrets.” Diana was touched while the others nodded in understanding. Closing their eyes, they connected with their wolves. Since they were not of the same packs, they uttered the oath together except for Diana who was acting as the witness and subject of the oath. “I and my wolf swear the oath of an alliance. To never break the trust and never speak the word. To uphold right from wrong and believe in faith. Should
Rakiz Lemoir, who was in his wolf worm, arrived at the boundaries of the Crescent Pack.He knew he could not let himself be discovered that he just arrived, lest he aroused suspicions. Shifting back, he immediately climbed to the nearest towering tree.From one branch to another, Rakiz Lemoir leaped. His destination was the trade route wherein all the merchants going to the Crescent Pack would pass through.Perched on a branch, Rakiz loomed over a wagon escorted by low-ranking omegas.Sniffing the air, he smelled the scent of wine and the salty sea. It was a merchant selling a foreign wine from a distant continent – probably the land of elves.He took the small pouch filled with silvery powder from his inner pocket. Slowly opening the pouch, Rakiz Lemoir immediately sprinkled the powder around him.This powder was given by the lassie Diana. It was supposed to be a normal powder until Diana blessed it. Now, he would use this to fool them with his scent. This way, both the border patrol
Six alphas? Diana frowned inwardly. According to her past life memory, the Night Prowlers Pack had only one alpha before she died. So, where were these six alphas come from? Or, were they there before that alpha came to be? Diana could not help but admonish herself for her lack of information about the Night Prowlers Pack. The Night Prowlers Pack was a secretive pack. They were at the top five in terms of territories but they were second to the Blood Claws Pack in terms of fierceness and combat ability. The name of their pack was well-matched for their nature. They only lurked in the darkness. If the Blood Claws Pack was associated with bloodbaths and war while the Crescent Pack was linked to the Moon Goddess’ blessing, then the Night Prowlers Pack was the darkness of the werewolf community. This pack pretty much handled all the illegal activities, the black trade, in the continent. Some said, they also had a connection to the other continents and races. This was also the reason
“Oh my!” Diana gasped. She cupped his cheeks which he earnestly pulled away. “Are you crying?”He shook his head. His face was still partially obstructed from her eyes. Dylan was doing his best to pull his face away from her hands, though he did not really use any large force.Dylan was only shy to some extent after shedding tears when she was supposed to be the one doing that.Standing beneath the shower head, Diana let the water kiss her naked body. From her soaked hair down to her bare feet, she stood unmoving.Diana just finished telling him about her ‘long dream’. She dared not tell him about her rebirth. Diana only settled with a dream for it was the closest term she could use. But as soon as she finished telling her tale, a drop of tear fell to the tip of her nose! And since she was sitting and leaning against Dylan’s wide chest, there was only one source of the tear – Dylan!Diana’s nose turned sour right away! She was both touched and sad upon seeing the reaction of her mate.
“What did you say?” Alpha Jaxon frowned upon hearing Diana’s words. He undid his buttoned polo shirt and ruffled his hair in agitation. With his movement, the earring from his right ear glinted under the room’s illumination.Diana stopped herself from clicking her tongue or rolling her eyes. Instead, she repeated what she said, “We will bring you your mate before the Werewolf Committee get her. If we are late, both of you will suffer an irreversible fate.”Determination gleamed from her eyes as she scanned the other five alphas. She stood side-by-side with her mate. Diana was not afraid. She was a Luna and she was by her mate’s side.A low growl escaped from Alpha Jaxon’s lips. Canines flashed from his lips. Alpha Dylan took this as a potential danger to his mate. He pulled Diana by the wrist and hid her behind him. His towering figure stood behind the six alphas and Diana.“Easy,” said Dylan, “We are informing you in advance. My mate and I will leave immediately. We will delay the me
