Nothing was better than coming home to your kids after a long day at work. While the day was the same as always- plus Roxanne’s constant questions about Beowulf- the work was still a bit exhausting. But seeing my kids after I was done with it made the feeling worth it.“Hi, kids. How was your-?” I w
I looked to my son in confusion. He who was still on his spot on the floor, while Hailey was the one who hugged me tight. Not only that, but they both seemed to be trembling.“I couldn’t sleep well with all that moving and shifting around back in the car, or when you and Dad carried me and Hailey ba
“Thank you for waiting,” I said, setting a cup of tea I brewed on the coffee table before Beowulf, who sat on one end of the couch.“Thank you,” he said, accepting the beverage.I only nodded at the gratitude and took a seat on the other end, sipping on my own tea. It was not by choice that I would
At my question, Beowulf grabbed me by the shoulders and forcibly turned me to him. “I would never take our kids away from you!” he exclaimed, only to then freeze upon locking eyes with mine. Blurred by tears forming and trailing down my cheeks.“Maybe you wouldn’t. But they have a right to choose wh
“Nex, wait!” I ignored Beowulf’s call and entered, closing the door behind me and locked it shut.My mind was just swarming with lots of negative thoughts of what will happen in my future. Thoughts I thought I left behind when I moved to the human world, and finally got the peaceful life I hoped for
Beowulf POVI stood as I watched Nex retreat to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. Shock doesn’t begin to describe how I feel after hearing her thoughts. How could she have such negative aspects on life? On herself. “Isn’t that normal for me? I’m a white werewolf. A murderer. A nobody. So
“You mean Mom’s wolf being white?” Helix asked, already catching on to what that law was. “But why? What does her wolf being white have to do with her being hated?”“In the world of werewolves, white wolves are the weakest wolves ever, as well as a symbol of ruin. Most werewolves value power just as
Nex’s POVI woke up to the feeling of cold air and looked around to find myself in an unfamiliar room. Dread filled me as I sat up and saw that I was in my old room in the Lycan King’s castle, in a silver cage.’No... Why am I back here?!’ I mentally questioned.“Mommy! Mommy!” I turned to the sound
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
