ElenaBasil*Lavender*Vervain*Wild garlic*Yarrow*And finally an elderberry scent. Those were the fragrances screeching into my nostrils the moment my eyes slowly flipped open. Everywhere was blurry, and the room was so humid as if it had been shut closed for a long time with no fresh breeze oozing its way in. I tilted my eyes around the room that looked so strange to my blurry sight. My instinct is so sure that I've never been here before. So, where am I? I tilted my eyes around further to catch a better glimpse of the place holding me hostage. Glancing around, my eyes fell on some chairs that looked like those in my father's council room back in New Moon Pack though not as exotic designed as these were. The chairs were arranged exactly the same way we do arrange our pack’s council room, and above the long metal stairs facing those chairs was a long, big, and golden decorated chair with a strange aura hovering around the place. Could it be that I'm back in my pack? But the las
ElenaImpossible!!‘The person before me can never be my mate’ I snapped at Crystal, who continued howling.I already accepted his rejection though that was before Crystal appeared. Wait. Could it be that the bond didn't snap since I accepted the rejection when I was with no wolf? That must not be.Impossible!! I almost screamed the word loudly out of my throat but his husky voice echoed through my ears, almost sending chills into my spine.“What are you doing?” Brandon said, his eyes filled with disgust as they stared at me.I huffed, standing upright on my two feet as much as the pain almost struck me down to the ground. “You took the word out of my mouth, you know”I retorted the same disgust he used in staring at me as the naked image of him and Sabrina slamming their bodies into each other envisioned me. What a feral dog I've got as a mate.Crystal continued to howl loudly, chanting the word ‘MATE’ repeatedly and this was causing a lot of weakening to my legs, with a strange at
Elena I whimpered as the pain from the fall and my bleeding thumb electrified through my body. I couldn't get up on my feet and Crystal continuously howled the word ‘MATE'Irritation sparkled through my heart as her words sprang up bitterness in me— The bitterness of watching that same person I called mate until a few days ago drag me on the ground, not minding if my feet got pierced by the metal chairs it were stuck in, not minding the pain he was causing to my heart. The last voice I wanted to hear around me was that very word: MATE.That damn word!‘Will you shut the fuck off!’ I angrily yelled with all my might.Mate? I scoffed, broken down in mental sorrow. There's nothing like a mate in our lives anymore. We're just some dumped bag of shit that isn't wanted around the vicinity of everyone.I tightened my grip on the dried floor, grasping a heap of sand in my hand as the image of Brandon flashed into my head. And like as if Brandon was the sand curled up in my hands, I angrily s
Logan “Leaving so soon” I tilted my head back at the sound of the familiar feminine voice echoing through the room. I smiled when our eyes met and immediately she walked in, her blue robe flaring behind her as she walked into the room with her usual elegance and sexiness. “Yeah,” I nodded and turned back to pack my bag. “Thane has been grumpy these last three days. He wants to be back home” “I really can't wait to rip that your wolf teeth that's always against you spending time with me” Scarlett's voice drizzled with sadness. But I knew it was all faked. After all, she's a strong she-wolf who has excellently been presiding over her pack after her father's demise. So, a pleasure longing shouldn't be of much deal to such a strong fighter and an Alpha female. “You’d have to go through me first, you know.” I chuckled, and she also did. “You must think I'm still that young girl you'd always take down in a whoosh,” she said, and before I could say any more words, I already fe
ElenaColdness dripped into my spine as Frank held me tighter to his chest, and my cheeks grew more reddened than before, flushing away all the pain aching over my body. So Frank could be this strong?“Take me back home, please” I mumbled shyly.Frank snapped his eyes down at me almost immediately, his eyes widening. “New Moon Pack?” “Dummy head” I huffed while he stared at me with surprise lingering over his face. “The school, you dummy. Has the school not been my home since years ago?” Rolling my eyes at Frank for his assumption. Like I had a home in my pack?Nodding briefly in assertion, he walked away while I buried my face in his chest, thumping in a fast beat one after another to avoid anyone seeing us as he carried me like his bride. And as if he understood what was on my mind, all the lanes he passed were with none or few people concentrated on their work.Stopping in the front of the back alley, with a narrow pathway. Frank let out a deep breath before proceeding further
ElenaSuddenly, Frank burst into a loud laughter. My eyes grew wider as they stared at him bewildered… what the fuck is he doing?Isn't he going to let me out of the darkness he threw me in with his sudden outburst? Why would he be suddenly laughing as if what's happening around us seems normal? Does it? My eyes searched for an answer as it burned its gaze on his face. “You dummy, have you forgotten today is the monthly field training day? Everyone would be out on the field, already” he said, and immediately, his words snapped me out of the fear settling into my heart. Oh! That's right. My worst nightmare in Moon College. I almost choked on my throat at the horrifying thought of yet another misery awaiting my life… Oh, my goddess, not today when I'm feeling this much pain all over my body; I prayed silently in my heart for the day to pass by without the training taking place, but can it ever happen? Has the Moon Goddess ever listened to any of my prayers? My wishes and pleading f
LoganA lie.…That was what my Alpha senses kept screaming but I couldn't figure out who out of the two and why. Max? No, he has no reason to. Plus he's just a sluggish wolf that rarely thinks out of the box.Brandon? We're talking about his mate's health here, so he also has no reason to lie, right? He's a very filial son of mine who knows the right way to treat one's fated mate, and as he just said, he must have warmly had her escorted.Probably, Max was the one that got it mixed up. Yes, that would be it. My Gamma isn't that smart as he looks so manly; he must have had it mixed up with other stuff running through his head.As you know, Gammas are always busy.Those were the thoughts ruminating through my mind before Brandon's voice snapped me out of the thinking.“Dad?” He called, raising his brow to guess if I was not yet out of it.Adjusting my posture on the seat, I grunted softly that I was still with him and hadn't yet drowned in my thinking. “So, were you able to track the r
ElenaGetting into my grade classroom was much easier than before since the hallway was thoroughly cleared for me to pass due to the way others avoided me. Just then, the thought struck me: perhaps this was even good. That way, I will no longer be getting lateness records on my report. But then, I almost laughed at the ridiculous thought. Like being an outcast is a wonderful experience? Either way, I would hate myself for being casted aside and treated like a bag of shit. Strong gazes of hate and disgust flickered on me as I stepped foot into my classroom. With my head kept low on the ground, I strode into the room to the backspace where my seat was placed with no students wanting to have their seat beside where I was. Just as I stepped in, the Forestry teacher also did, and inwardly, I happily cheered in my heart that I was not a second late.“See the shameless mutt,” a loud sneer gave others the go-ahead to further shame my presence in the room.A great boiling rush of self-hate a
Logan‘Is she dying?’ Thane growled, cutting through my already saddened emotion.‘I bet you won't want her to’ I retorted.‘Of course, I can't,’ he purred, the thick command in his words almost pissing me off. I pray he just won't fuel up the fury simmering just below my heart. I scoffed at the utmost possessiveness in his words— “He can't?”Well, neither will I. But nevertheless, it has a limit to which medical treatment could work on a werewolf except for their will… But, it's so surprising to see when Thane starts caring about flings.Just then, his groan once again cut through my attention, making me tightly clenched my jaw. Can he just stop barging into my focus!‘She must regain her consciousness, Logan’ he howled, his words denoting a bountiful amount of authority.I raised a brow, my head spinning at his utterance. Would I be the one to heal her? …Well, I guess it won't harm to test his patience for a brief moment. I smirked faintly before straightening my twitched brow.
Logan “Can you do this, young one?” I raised my gaze at the physician whose slow movement and words depicted how laggard he probably was. “Y…yes, Alpha King” he mumbled, his eyes lurking around the room from beneath his gaze like it was his first time being in the office. Who knows… perhaps it might be. I internally shrugged. Still crouched beside the girl with an awkward feeling settled inside my mind that the young man might not be capable of what was before him, I raised my brow at the metal box clutched tightly beneath his left arm. Understanding right away what I might have meant, he hurriedly dropped the metal box beside me. My gaze keenly stared at what he was about to do as his fingers flew across the box to open the lock. “No need” I stopped his intended action, my hand raised at his face. He stopped, before rising on his torso. “O..okay, Alpha King”, he said and stepped backward. “Please, a…l.. allow me to tend to the young lady” Nevertheless, despite his slownes
Logan Undoubtedly, I mean what I had said— Not for once, has she been out of my head. Neither has my mind been at peace ever since the fateful memory occurred between us. The girl gasped, her lips flipping apart as she stared at me in surprise as she remained scooped on my arm. Her long stare settled an awkward feeling inside my belly, making me consciously reflect on what I had just said. Darn!Did I just confess that I hadn't gotten over her after the night we had shared for pleasure ?... Clearly, I also know I was nothing but just a fling to quench the desperate urge burning through her veins at that moment. Nonetheless, I shouldn't have blurted out such longing words to her face.Darn, my mouth! However, that isn't quite the pending issue at hand. Not when she's looking this battered with bruises scarring her fragile skin. I nervously looked down at her, and I sensed her heart leaped— her pale face looking almost out of breath.“Get the darn physician here right now!” I yelled
Logan Edgar warmly ushered me into his office. However, I wasn't yet at ease concerning the young boy he had called ‘Brain’. But I had to put my mind together to get the best out of what I was about to embark on— re-investigating the surviving victim.I briefly glanced around the dimly lit place, after he closed the door behind us— the smell of old wood and fragrance of an aged masculine musk filled my nostrils as it brought back the memories of years ago. He walked away from the door and picked up a clean towel to dust the already neat chairs. My gaze followed each of his gentle moves.“Old age slowly creeping in.” I thought to myself, a soft smile at the edge of my lips when I noticed how gently he tends to everything.“I heard rogues attacked the pack,” Edgar broke the silence, the moment he drew a seat for me. I grunted softly before sinking into the chair he had drawn out. I closed my eyes, relaxing my numb muscles that seemed to need a refreshing cold bath. “Is that why my A
Elena “Why does the Alpha King request her presence?” The one-eyed General broke the awkward silence with his husky voice, showing how displeased he was.“I don't know what it's really about but it seems to be regarding the recent rogue attack,” the warrior replied, his eyes creasing around the place. “Not so sure though”His last utterance slapped across my numb face like I was being dipped in ice— He’s here. Not to save me or to see me live in peace. My heart refused to stop pounding widely despite every of my efforts to stay calm and relaxed— I mustn't appear before Brandon looking this pitiful… at least. By now, I guess… I should have been let down. Consequently, I protested on the General's arm, my moves denoting how badly I wanted to be let down even though I hadn't yet regained my strength.I looked down when I sensed an electrifying sensation running through my legs, only to see how badly my limbs were trembling as if I was being shaken by a strange force. However, the one
Logan “No, you can't, my Alpha!” Silas yelled after me, his steps hastening to meet up with mine. “You have to rest before anything else considering the long journey you have just gone through” His voice, laced with thick admonishment, resonated into the air. Well, it wasn't surprising to see how adamant he was despite his two’ft sturdy legs that aren't putting an effort in his agility to meet up with my walks. I chuckled softly before turning back to face him the moment he stopped after running out of his breath. His robust belly panting heavily as he exhales. I held in the laughter erupting inside me as I watched him struggle to get his hitched breath back in pace.“You really need to burn down a lot of pounds, Silas,” I warned, my tone humble, but my eyes held a strong admonishment against how chubby he was fastly becoming over the space— As a warrior that he is. “I guess I have been enjoying the peace too much” he chuckled, his eyes creasing in excitement. He raised, his bel
Elena “Thanks” I mumbled barely above a whisper, knowing fully that he heard what I had said. My head gently resting on his chest as he walked down the dark tunnel.“I should be the one to apologize,” he simply replied. Though I noticed how forced he was to say those words. So, I decided to innocently play along. “Apologize for what?” I raised my head up to look into his face. My mind filled with a lot of imagination on how he got the scar on his other eyes thus making his handsome face to be roughly stitched up. “You don't know?” He looked down at my face but was also quick to look away, his gaze fixated on the dark lane ahead of us. “Hmm. I don't” I nodded, my eyes scanning through the unprofessional stitches on his other eyes. I bet he noticed the lingering gaze on his face but chose not to speak and let me look for how long I wanted. How painful it must have been to endure through the process. The scar, the pain, and everything else he must have to go through before accepting
Elena “What crap are you saying?” The grumpy warrior amongst the rest charged at Maddie who had stopped convulsing on the ground but remained still after her absurd declaration. “Happy?” He raised a menacing brow at me before turning away and scrunched down to Maddie's height and grabbed her arm. “Are you saying she's not a Sybil, like yourself” Immediately after the warrior's utterance, Maddie's groan which I sensed to be anger, reverberated through the damped place, her distressed face scowling at the grumpy warrior who retorted with the same disgusted look. “Oh, I forgot for a while that you hate being called that” he smirked, his face obviously showing he was making a mockery of her. Just as I was about to speak up against the evident insolence. His voice filled with mockery of Maddie once again raised against mine. “Oh, what was that again?” He gently rubbed his temple, a sneering smile at the edge of his lips. “Yes!... Divine” he suddenly snapped, making me flinch in f
Logan “You mean right away?!” Max exclaimed, his shoulder dropping like he had encountered a horror. “Yes,” I simply nodded before walking out of the room, not sparing a glance at the expression that would probably be smacked on his face. I had made up my mind and yes… that's it. Even if it's going to cost me my happiness, my desire, and my wolf's lust. Even if it's going to be getting rid of the boggling image of the one-night fling off my mind. She would be nothing but a hindrance to my duty’... That's what I had repeatedly told myself whenever the image of the beautiful glinting silver eyes of the unknown girl envisioned my mind. I need no more considering the large numbers of the ‘chamber girls’ available to quench my sexual thirst. But again, I have never felt satisfied as I did on the memorable crescent moon night. Hence, making my heart itched for the unknown girl but then again, I tightened my heart against the idea of whiffing through her fragrance to find what and wh
