LoganI entered the packhouse council room, my loosened gold-designed black robe flowing behind me. The wolves parted as I made my way through their midst, their eyes keen on each of my grating steps into the room. The room was tense, with only echoing sounds from my footsteps, breaking the ominous silence. The notable wolves stood at the front line according to the pack status… their stands commanding respect while the crew stood behind the elders with their heads bowed. The council room gleamed with golden chairs, each reserved for the prominent members present in the room, and the floor was tiled with a huge black carpet laid in the middle of the room from the entrance.The twelve eldest elders of Blood Moon stood at the front line by the left side, while my Gamma and his subordinates stood at the second line. The omegas were at the doorstep, staying guard with their heads bowed with few others, I barely recognized their status— Thinking about every werewolf that lives or works i
Logan “I’ll get back to you all after giving it some thought.” I sighed and immediately rose from my seat. “My–” “No one will raise the word… ‘Luna reinstatement’ before my face again until I inform you all about my decision” Elder Gerald stepped out further to say a word but I cut him short before he'd persist against my resolution. He hesitated for a little bit but then stepped back into the elder's line after Thane growled at his wolf An Alpha pair?... Thinking about it alone sends shivers down my spine. The thought of having a Luna… a capable she-wolf who would be appointed as the other part of me sounds so good to the pack members but never to me. Such a she-wolf who possesses an Alpha pair female qualifications has always been found for centuries. Just how who are the elders thinking would perfectly fit in all the qualifications. “Alpha King!!!” An omega ran into the council room, panting heavily but then suddenly stumbled onto the ground. Everyone, including
ElenaThe man clothed in a white robe entered further into the hall with few entourages behind him… and silence engulfed the place with only the chirping of birds echoing from the nearest trees before flying into the woods.Everyone in the room rose on their feet and bowed their heads in respect, with only an exception– being me who was oblivious of the identity of the domineering authority who just clouded over the room with his respectful aura. “I see you've scared the little wolf down to her panties,” the man smiled before walking over to where the other elders were standing. All the elders waited as the man took his seat in the middle on the largest chair while I warily stared at him from the beneath of my darting eyes. "You may have your seats," he ordered and everyone in the room lifted their gaze from their bowed heads before respectively taking their seats.A horrible sinking feeling snapped through my intestines and my veins shuddered underneath my flesh… at the thought of
Elena My eyes widened in surprise, and a mixed feeling of shock and confusion tightly gripped my heart when Elder Gerald spoke up for me– or perhaps it's only right he does so?... However, the look in his eyes wasn’t glinting those of an Elder filial responsibility to put a stop to the scene revolving right before him. It was clearly of great anger– the agitated balls in his eyes tell it all.“Enough of this barbaric behavior!” Elder Gerald added in his hoarse voice, then shifted his gaze away after a long, blank stare into my eyes. I immediately tilted my eyes down when he rose up from his seat, snapping back into my senses.“Do not take offense, Elder Gerald.” Four out of the elders including Elder Titus, whom I presume to be a lot lower in rank, apologized in unison.I huffed under my breath, seeing how silent every one of them instantly chimed when a far superior authority shoveled their spiteful accusations down their throat. Elder Gerald nodded softly in response to their apol
Elena The grasp of his palm tightened on my jaw as Elder Gerald leaned forward… leaving barely an inch between our faces while raising my head to look into his eyes. “When the rogues saw my eyes!” I croaked out, shutting my eyes closed from his boring dark brown balls that held a lot of strong authority in them.… His eyes were a lot stronger than how firmly Brandon's had even tightened my heart. Slowly, the cold grip left my jaw and his hot nostrils breeze sizzled from a distance. “Your eyes?” After sensing he must have leaned backward, I flickered my eyes open.“The rogue said so. I also had no idea what they were talking about,” I lied, my voice steeled and assertive, unlike before. “Perhaps if you could tell me whatever is strange in my eyes”“Beautiful silver balls,” he smiled faintly. “That’s all I could see”. My forehead twitched at how firm and believable the lie sounded– even to the country's ultimate Elder.Elder Gerald strode backward before he turned to walk back to t
Elena “Were you hurt anywhere?” Brandon asked, his stern gaze rolling over my body, almost piercing a hole on my skin. I hesitated for a bit before I finally found my word. “Nothing serious enough for you to worry about,” I said, disbelief lingering over my face as I stared at him blankly.Did Brandon just ask if I was hurt? I mean, I wasn't hallucinating in any way; he actually did ask after my welfare. But why?!I believe we had no strings attached anymore, so why would he ask if I'm hurt? I guess perhaps he was disappointed I haven't been ripped apart by the rogues. “I wasn't worried, Elena. I just hate to see you in pain” Brandon sniffed, his voice croaky but yet had the hint of its hoarseness. I could sense he was probably holding himself back from yelling. “Really?” I scoffed, before turning back to leave. However, I guess leaving at my will wasn't going to be my decision– when the two guards suddenly grabbed my arms.Wasn't his sexy mistress thinking about that before she p
Elena “What do you mean?” Brandon gritted, his eyes almost widening out of his sockets.I scoffed before moving closer to close up the space between us. His reddened eyes bore into mine however as much as the rage burning inside me threatened to send a slap across his face but unfortunately, I couldn't hold my gaze with his. “Placing innocent, are we?” I mumbled, my lips curling into a smirk.“You won't dare play me, Elena,” he muttered, his face growling with his menacing voice.I raised my gaze, my nose scrunched in disgust at his fake innocence. “Does it seem like I am?” I kissed my teeth in distaste as his gaze continued to linger over my body. However as I was about to slide backward away from him, Brandon suddenly grabbed my wrist. Soon after in a fast flash, he slammed my back against the wall.My eyes widened in bewilderment and I winced in pain at the sudden aggressive action. “What are you doing? Let go of me now!” I yelled but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.I tried wrig
Brandon“St..op it, Brandon?” Elena gasped in between her breaths, and I sensed right away the pain I might have been inflicting on her through my Alpha’s authority. “Stop hurting me!” she called out, her eyes earnestly pleaded as her voice did. “ Please stop it!”My heart tightened when flood of innocence washed over Elena's face and I wished I could stop hurting her. I also wish I could stop inflicting pain on her. But however, I can't.I can't seem to stop it whenever my rage sprang out of my heart …It loots for is nothing but destruction— And all my rage burns for right now is to clasp my hands around Elena's tiny neck and squeeze the breath out of her for telling such a terrible lie to my face.“What a clown!” I spat and before she'd grasp what was going on, I scurried to her front and gripped her jaw tightly from saying any other word.My left palm clasped her mouth tightly while I fought myself from sending an echoing slap across her face. How dare Elena stoop this low to dra
Logan A wide grin spread across my face as I chopped the deer meat into pieces. I couldn't help but think of the girl— Elena. As much as I wished to get her image off my mind.Her pretty brow that stood right above… those silver eyes, her silky brown hair and above all— her beautiful smile. They can't just make their way out of my head.I found the odd sensation running through my veins quite weird. But what's even weirder is the excitement settling inside me as I anticipated taking the food to her.“Perfect!” I mumbled softly in satisfaction, my gaze fixated on the savory sight before me.I had made a recovery meal for her dinner and I made sure everything was perfect. I've made one of the rich flavoured meals in the country— venison parmesan.Shortly after I was done with placing the plate on the steel tray, I glanced around the kitchen, my eyes scanning over the cabinet to be sure nothing was left behind. Then, I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety as I se
Elena “My heart can't bear to see you in pain.” He said. His words reverberated through my ears. Could he be kidding me right now?“I know it might seem ridiculous to you, but that's just the truth,” he added, his voice fetching me out of the shock he had dipped me in. He meant the ridiculous word— Or was he just expressing his personality at his pleasure?… At the risk of that expensive joke.Then he must be implying that's just his personality to everyone?... Full of care while his heart can't also bear to see any members in pain.That was so passionate about him. I internally moaned at the warmth in his eyes as he glanced into mine. “Then let me do it since you can't,” I declared, stretching out my palm for him to put the little container on it.“No, I can't watch it. It's going to sting” he said, his eyes clouded with longness as they darted down to the container.Oh no. I rolled my eyes.Immediately, he snapped the container away with one of his legs. I gasped on seeing this r
Elena I was wrong all along. It greatly sucks to realize my heart was pounding in fear for nothing… all this while. He is Edgar— a warlord and not the Alpha King!My heart leaped joyfully to believe the fact that he wasn't my ex-mate father. That I hadn't crossed the forbidden line… that I won't be scorned as a whore or something more.To ease my pounding mind, I needed a clarification. A word to set my heart at peace. I asked for confirmation and yes, he affirmed my suspicion. His words were firm and filled with honesty as that expression matched with mine. A glint sparkled up in his eyes when he looked into mine. The reflection of myself revealed inside his eyes. I was only worked up for nothing.Thank goodness, the warrior barged in at that moment. If not l, I'd have spilled what I shouldn't have. Strangely, without knowing how we picked up at the friendly race, we talked at length. I let out my emotions for him to feel. Though, I know he probably won't have an idea of the pain
Logan “To what?” The girl exclaimed, her face brimming with a scowl.“To clean you up, of course,” I declared, before turning away and walked out of the room.Leaving her behind to sort out whatever could be running through her head. Though I wonder what she might have interpreted my word as when she suddenly scowled— More in shock.Well, I mean nothing more than getting a bowl filled with clean, warm water and a neat towel to mop off the blood on her body. Some ointment would also do— to put on her bruises and her wounded shoulder, which is yet to fully heal up.If anything else… perhaps, after she's fully healed. Storming out of the interrogation yard, I briskly looked around the quiet space with only the melodic voices of birds chirping while some squirted away the moment I took a step out of the gate. Edgar.Silas.I need to look for those two. I mumbled to myself as I walked away to the only place settling inside my head— That's where the two would probably be.In no moment, I
Logan What would become of me if whom my heart quivers for turns out to be scared of the heavy title I had on me?No, I can't let that happen. The thought itself weighed down, and a heavy thud sank my belly. If she's more comfortable with warlord Edgar, then I'd be one. I straightened up my shoulder, and swallowed hard before leaning forward to cup her leaned cheeks with my palm.I need to look as natural as possible. I mumbled to myself as those eyes fixated on me were so desperate for me to speak up.“Is that what you thought? That I am the Alpha King” I chuckled softly.Her brow twitched oddly like she was slowly being thrown out of bewilderment. “Aren't you?” “No, I'm not” I admitted though my words were false. Yet, my voice was firm and undeniable as I strained my gaze not to quiver.Well, I think Edgar also isn't bad to bear till she'd be able to handle the weight of my title with me. Immediately, she exhaled sharply in one fast breath. Her shoulder awkwardly dropped befor
LoganThe young warrior wanted to hold onto my hands as they gripped his collar firmly but with a pound of my Alpha authority, his hands voluntarily jerked down despite his will to break free. He choked after a few coughs that sent his face reddening in pain as the course wafted over his face. He faintly heaved for breath through his slightly agaped lips. But I was less burdened by the pain my authority might be causing down his throat.How dare him? Even if he was blind. Still, he should know which line to cross and the one that's forbidden to trespass— And he wasn't even blind. I clenched my jaw tightly, resisting myself from doing the worst as my gaze was fixated on the dying boy. Enjoying every bit of the punishment I was inflicting on him. Edgar? I internally rolled my eyes at the reason for his stupidity.Seems the young lads here are quite undisciplined. I smiled, the thought of when I was about his training age flashing into my head. Then, I'll bestow upon him the grace of
Logan ‘Just that?’ I raised a brow at the simplicity of what's required of us to help the girl.‘I guess so’ Thane growled in response.…After my wolf had suggested the only resolution we could do to be of assistance to the unconscious girl, he immediately transformed— shifting back to myself. ‘Focus only on her, Logan’ Thane purred as he settled at the back of my head.Of course, she's now a part of me.I grunted softly when I felt my bare feet melt on the cold ground. Tilting my head downward on my body, I scowled at the shredded pieces of the robe that lingered on my arm and waist.Can Thane ever cease not to cause trouble… even if it's just for a day? Now, I'm left naked because of his impatience and stubborn agility.With a deep sigh, I walked over to the closet— where Edgar had initially brought out the white robe, which was now torn. I leaned forward and grabbed the little knob of the closet before tilting it open while the creaking sound swiftly filled the room before relaps
Elena“Open up, little one!” I heard a masculine voice called out, the huskiness resonating deep inside my ears.…The man from Crescent Moon Night? My ears twitched at the sense of who possessed the low, husky voice. A shiver scurried down my spine as the realization sank inside my belly— the man I had met in the hallway… the feared and respected Alpha King whose name is on every werewolf's lips, from the whispers of the young to the respectful murmurs of the elders in the pack. Even the Wolf Country as a whole. My body shuddered as if an electrifying current gripped me. The thought alone is absurd, almost jolting my senses out of my limp body. …If the man from Crescent Moon Night— the same man I had a one-night stand with… is the Alpha King. Then, does that mean I slept with my mate's father?Ex-mate, actually. My subconscious snapped at me for briefly referring to Brandon as my mate. Nevertheless, this can't be true. No! It mustn't be. What would the world think of me?…Won't I
Logan WHAT!! I exclaimed in shock. My body shuddered as if an electrifying sensation sprinted through my veins right that moment— as the understanding of what he had said he did to the girl is quite well known to the both of us. No, I needed to confirm. This must be one of Thane's usual pranks to throw me off balance. ‘So, are you saying she's… I mean you just said you imprinted on her that night.’ I blinked my eyes repeatedly, trying to figure my way into Thane's mind. But it was to no avail. …He totally blocked me off his mind. ‘A joke, right?’ I mentally raised my brow at the audacity. However, He was stiffened as a log of wood— With no sense of remorse or sorriness for the shocking revelation he had just dumped on my face like he didn't care what effect this would have on us. ‘Wait’ I snapped, when an odd realization settled inside my head, and Thane's attention immediately fixated on mine. ‘Was that the reason why I found it hard to get her out of my head since all thi
