Elena“Hey, little puppy. Did that silver light just flash from your eyes?” One of the giant rogues said immediately he shifted into his human form. Panic swept over me and I guess Crystal also sensed the danger, then the light from her eyes dimmed low into my normal sights.“I guess it is,” he smiled, moving closer to where I stood with my legs shaking from fear.“I told you, didn't I?” The other also shifted, grinning widely at my face “All these extraordinary puppies are what are making Blood Moon surpass other packs”“We are ending them for sure”. What were they talking about? My heart pounded widely at the murderous sight of the two stark naked rogues. Just how on earth did they make their way into Blood Moon? Extraordinary? Ending whom? I stared blankly at the two as they further moved closer towards me, shakily taking steps backward but cautious enough not to fall back into the swamp– that would definitely be my end if I was to make my way back into that hell of a pit.“Ste
Elena “No, Frank! They're rogues”My eyes widened, and fear gripped me when the two rogues shifted into a dark grey wolf and brown wolf, respectively, while Frank was yet to shift. “I got this Elena!” He flashed a blank smile at me before bolting towards the biggest– I presume he was the one who pounced over me earlier. I prayed silently in my mind as the three wolves struggled with themselves, fighting for the upper hand. Frank didn’t even hesitate before jumping from the bushes quickly, beelining towards the largest wolf.The two wolves looked up surprised to see someone charging at them with such great speed, but they were too slow to react. Just then, Frank tackled the brown wolf to the ground and they began a rolling dance for the upper hand. The dark grey immediately circled around the fight, waiting for an opportunity to attack Frank at the less expected moment. The wolf snapped and growled at Frank as he and the brown wolf rolled on the ground for the upper hand; however,
Elena Immediately, blood oozed out of my flesh, spreading across from my shoulder to the white shirt I put on. My eyes dimmed, and my breath softened as it slowly screeched out of my nostrils, and my heart pounded widely at the thought of becoming a rogue attack victim. Any other death would be more prestigious to the pack and Moon College than to hear— a weak wolf breathed her last after a rogue fang went into her flesh.‘No, Elena, let's hold onto our lives tightly’ Crystal growled. I huffed at her courageous words. Her appealing charm of all time but too bad, it's not going to work today or any other day. The life she wishes to hold onto tightly is already gone. I could feel it.‘Let’s just leave this miserable life behind’ I replied faintly, my heart thumping fastly beneath my rib. ‘I’m sick of it already’ Crystal howled, and suddenly, a sharp cut ran through my heart and tightened my veins. I gasped for breath immediately her pain gripped me and surged through my flesh. I un
Elena Just a few more steps… and we would reach the school training field. However, I was restless as the trees towered above… their branches like skeletal fingers reaching for the sky. Every step Frank and I took, the dried leaves crunched beneath our feet, stirring the stillness. I froze instantly the moment a twig from one of the nearby trees snapped, my heart pounded widely at the thought of encountering the brown wolf or any other rogue. However, it was just the rustling wind that moaned and sizzled through the forest. Still, the sound hung in the air, and I scanned the forest shadows for any movement but there was none. “He's hurt” Frank snapped. He must have noticed the restless expression on my face. “I doubt he's going to creep back” “We can't say for sure” I tilted my head to look at him, my face steeled and cautious. “Rogues are dangerous”“And also cautious” he added almost immediately.“But…”“He simply ran for his life, Elena” Frank instantly cut my statement short.
Elena Whose flesh got torn?... That was the question that clouded my head as I remained frozen on the ground. Slowly, I opened my eyes to answer the demanding question sprinting through my head… and saw an exhausted Frank standing over my frozen body, the limp body of the furious brown wolf falling to the ground next to him.“Goddess!”I gasped in shock when my eyes landed on the wolf’s throat that had been cruelly ripped. His neck bulged, and his veins strained from the flesh, blood gushing from his throat, pooling on the ground before he convulsed and made a heavy thud on the earth.Then, I shifted my gaze to the image I could no longer recognize soaring over my shadow… Frank? He looked like a war god standing in the darkened sky, covered in dust with blood splashed all over his body. And yet his radiant blue eyes shined out in contrast to the red blood that had masked his face. Then I realized how swiftly he must have moved, even with his sprained ankle and exhausted limbs… in or
Elena“Over there!” Those masculine voices suddenly echoed from afar, and light from lamps flickered in my direction before it got closer. I turned my head, and through my blurry eyes, I could see a few giant figures running towards us.“Warriors,” Crystal purred, and relief swept over me. At last, we were safe! We were going to be okay. I instantly held Frank's body tightly onto my chest, shooking his body rigorously in order to keep him awake. Shots of blood surged through my adrenaline when an odd sensation of realization struck me, and immediately, my legs lost their sensitivity, and tears irresistibly streamed down from my eyes …No, Frank can't possibly leave me. Who would I turn to as my friend… as my mentor… as my savior… as the only strong knight who's always ready to shield protection for me? The Moon Goddess can't be so cruel to take every good thing away from me.Yes! …The warriors. Once they get here, everything is going to be okay… both I and Frank… everything will be
Elena “Young lady!”“Open your eyes… little one!”I woke up to the feeling of someone lightly shaking my body. I wanted to protest against the touch and refuse to open my eyes, but the shaking was insistent, and slowly started to turn aggressive.“Elena?” a voice called. It was so warm, sounding worried and heartfelt. Then, I managed to open my eyes a bit, fighting against the bright artificial light that assaulted my vision the moment it flipped open. But after several seconds of adjusting, I managed to make out the face of a woman probably in her late thirties, clothed in the pack med-house uniform— She's a doctor… her dress tells it all.“Elena?” she called again.“I’m alive...?” I mumbled, barely above my breath with my dried sore throat.The woman quickly brought some water in a big mug to my lips and I began to sip on it, enjoying the refreshing feeling that came with it as it revived my dried soul.“How are you feeling?” she asked as she began to look over my body.Just then,
Elena “You have nothing to live for?” Alicia's angry voice echoed through the room. “You wanted to die? Without thinking about him?”“I actually thought you were one sweet little girl, but I guess I was wrong.” She rolled her eyes, tilting her long silver hair backward after a brief ruffle.I gasped in shock, staring into space as Alicia angrily slammed cruel words at me– I wandered in confusion as each of her words hit me so painfully… and my heart sank into my belly at the sudden furious countenance of the woman I thought to be kind and different. Just then, the big book made a loud thud on the nearest table beside the bed and I looked up into her eyes.She briefly glanced at me with reddened eyeballs before she turned to leave the place but my voice immediately made her stop on her track. “Who?” I said, forcing the word out of my croaky voice.I had no idea what Alicia was talking about. Who should I think of before ending the little miserable life the Moon Goddess had bestowed o
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
