Elena The word rings familiarity into my ears, and without any assumption— I vividly rewind that one of the warriors had once made mention of that particular name. Maddie. Who exactly is the ‘Maddie’ they all kept talking about?... While comparing my inability to shift with hers. Slowly, the grumpy warrior's tight grip on my wrist slipped down after the one-eyed General’s voice thundered, but I afterward noticed that his palm was later clenched into a fist. “We shall see if truly she's different” the grumpy warrior declared, before he suddenly grabbed my arm, dragging me aggressively while others parted ways for him. Pain sizzled into my already bandaged shoulder when he aggressively dragged on the same arm. I wanted to turn back to beg the General— to instruct an order to let me go. But then I noticed no one spared a glance at the grumpy warrior's cruel action. Could it be that they also believe I ought to see something inside his eyes? Just what are these freaks called war
Brandon “We’ve successfully handed her over to the prison warriors.” “Serves her right!” Isabel smirked on hearing the report from the guards who were told to escort Elena. I felt a surge of anger flare up inside me, seeing how happy Isabel was, but I knew I couldn't take it out on her. Not now, at least. With a snarl, I turned and stormed out of the room, leaving Elena and the guards behind. But I knew this wasn't over. Deep inside my mind, my wolf, my inner spirit, and others…. Something doesn't sit quite comfortably that Elena is now out of my reach. ~~~~~~ I forced myself to take a deep, steady breath— trying as hard as possible to focus on the paperwork I had to turn in before the end of the day. However, my mind couldn't be fixated in a place as I imagined how comfortable my weak mutt would be, where she was. I had never intended to keep her out of my reach. At least not into that far-dried region. “Alpha Prince?” I heard my duty teacher voice, Lucas snapped me out of
Brandon “I can't, Alpha Brandon” the girl declared, her voice dripping with uprightness. My eyes widened in shock as her blunt words snapped at my Alpha authority. I huffed at the fake innocence lingering over her face as she struggled to step back away from me. But too bad for her, my left hand had already grabbed her butt cheek– softly fondling the succulent flesh to my satisfaction. While my other hand held her wrist tightly on my chest. “Why can't we?” I simply asked. Although, I knew I was never letting go of a delicate prey that'd quench my urge… whatever her excuse might be. “I have a mate” she mumbled, her voice low and cautious. “You know very well that no other man is allowed to touch a she-wolf after she has found her mate” “I dare not defy the mating rule” she added, her eyes flickering away from looking into mine. “Not with an Alpha heir” I rolled my eyes internally at her utterance that seemed to be lecturing me on what I clearly knew about. “So?” I smi
Elena Entering into the famous Blood Moon pack prison. Wolf Country hell. The warriors, including myself— who were dragged in, took an intercept into a left corner shortly after we went a bit further behind the magnificent gate, which was shut immediately after we entered. In a flash, my eyes glanced around the prison's yard— built with a mixture of metal, iron, and stones, making it look so rusty and old like no renovation had been made for quite a long while. Then, I also noticed how desolate the vicinity was, with only a few warriors dressed in their armor patrolling in company. Meanwhile, I had expected prison to be overly crowded with hoarse voices of prisoners who wish to be free from agony… pain… and torture amidst others. However, it was so silent that even the gate warriors' murmurs could easily be heard. “Hey, open up!” The one-eyed General yelled out to no one in particular shortly after we emerged out of the left corner. Immediately, a rusty tunnel gateway was
Elena ‘Why is asking him what's bulging your mind absurd?’ Crystal howled, the profound confidence inside her twirling a sharp pain of pain into my heart. Wait. Does that mean I could relate with her emotions? My mind sprinted along with her words and I could feel my panic rising in that quick moment. ‘But, he's cruel,’ I said, making Crystal sigh deeply— a heavy thud sank into her mind as a result of her thoughts and then smeared with mine. ‘He’s also dark and determined to see me suffer for being unable to shift’ ‘All thanks to you’ I added, a hint of my anger directed at her. Once again, Crystal sighed. Her frustration smeared with me– making me even weaker to stand on my feet. “So, would you like to say what you saw inside my eyes after staring into it for what seemed like years?!” Just then, the hoarse voice of the grumpy warrior resonated deep inside my ears, prompting me to flinch. I shook my head, my eyes widening at the huge misunderstanding that seemed to
Logan “Who's over there?” I called out after sensing the sweet scent of a she-wolf honey-smelling pheromones and a familiar masculine sweat screeching into the air from where I stood while admiring the beautiful scenery of the pack’s garden. The strong odor mixed with the aromatic fragrance of the different planted flowers. However, one thing was cleared, judging by my Alpha instinct— something was off. …That was certainly Brandon's scent. But the she-wolf fragrance belongs to whom? Could that be his mate? Moreover, I haven't even set my eyes on his mate ever since he informed the council that he had found his missing rib— neither have he introduced the she-wolf who would rule along with him to me or the pack. Sensing I couldn't stay still and ignore the ominous feeling and silence that followed, I walked away from where I stood, following the stench of the sweat and the she-wolf pheromones sizzling into the breezy air. “Father?” A voice called, making me stop on my tra
Logan I noticed Brandon's hesitation for a while, his mind obviously running wild with different thoughts– judging from the furrowed countenance on his face… before he finally spoke up. “Do you think the girl would survive it?” He asked, his voice croaked while he repeatedly smoothed the edge of his lips with his right palm. “Well, the pack's prison isn't as easy as killing a rogue,” I replied in sarcasm. Even if the little one had killed a rogue, considering her deviant circumstances, the pack prison might not have been as easy as anyone would have thought. Subsequently, Brandon mumbled a soft word which I clearly heard through the silence of the air. “I bet she won't survive it” His words suddenly fueled my curiosity thus making me ask the inevitable question. “Is she one of your acquaintances?” “No!” Brandon snapped almost immediately, his eyes bulging widely through the dark. “She'd never be” “I see” I breathed out. I had initially thought he was the type to worry
Elena I guess I was Crystal's pawn all along. Whereas what we werewolves have been taught was that we must be the ones to have authority over our wolf and not otherwise. While fulfilling this hectic task, is also another utmost way of quenching the aggressive thirst of some wolves who wish to run wild and ultimately berserk away from their fellow kind. Thus causing harm to the society as a whole. We were also taught that curtailing our wolf motives with the action of taking over their mind would further be of great importance to the pack and ourselves. But too bad, none was able to be used against Crystal. …She’s always faster and quicker to make decisions than I am. And frantically, never for once have I infiltrated into her mind as it was always well guarded like a metal gate. And now, once again since she has appeared… I was left alone to handle yet another messy situation all by myself. Darn Crystal! Suddenly, everyone, including me, turned to look at the humid
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
