2024-10-29 19:42:56“I just wanted to test my soon-to-be bride if she fits my taste,” he murmured between my lips.
“And what if I’m not?” I parted my face from his plumpy, kissable lips.
He smirked. “You will be. I will not save you from your family if you don't fit my taste.”
I nodded. “My family. They are…”
“They died a week ago.”
Sleepiness left my soul. “What did you say?”
“The people that are with you…they are not people. They are Heart-eaters. They can assume any appearance they like as long as they feed on mortal’s hearts—and werewolves. Most especially werewolves’ hearts.”
“What?! How? Why?!” Several questions flooded inside my mind. I knew my family was not the kind of family that everyone wished for.
But being oblivious of their death for over a week is…I can’t. This is so baffling. What’s going on then? What happened to them?
“Surely it’s not a coincidence that I was brought here?” I asked with braveness relevant in my voice.
“I’ll explain to you tomorrow. For now, change your clothes and rest.” He placed a kiss on my forehead. I didn’t budge. How could I when he just revealed to me that I no longer have a family? It is utterly devastating, and confusing.
“Rest, Elaine. I brought you here for sanctuary and for being my bride as well. Surely you have met me once, honey.”
Honey. That sounds familiar. “Jordan?”
He nodded and smiled. “Yes, Elaine. I am the man that you met at that night bar in Maine.”
“So you’re the man that I have a drink with and—”
I stopped. He smiled. “I am the man whom you have a one-night in bed with.”
So he’s that man then. “You had a different face at that time.”
“It’s a glamour,” he answered. “Werewolves can assume any appearance during a full moon only.”
“And this body you have is not a glamour?”
He chortled. “No. This is my real body. You will be the judge of that if you will become my wife soon.” Tyler gave me a wink that warmed my cheeks.
“And that flame back in the wall?”
“An exclusive gift for White Wolves only. White Wolves are Elementals. Brown Wolves can read, alter, and add memories. Black Wolves can control darkness and light. Those are the gifts from Selena, our Moon Goddess.”
I just listened to his explanation as he walked me into his front gate. “And did this moon deity also choose me as your bride?”
He shook his head. “No. Fate is a matter that we, werewolves, can only make. She has gifted us with this ability, with this privilege. But our life, our fate, depends on us based on our decisions alone. Not her.”
“Well said then,” I uttered. “Your goddess is not a tyrannical one.”
He laughed. “She is now your goddess. As soon as we are bound together under her light next month, you will understand the life of a werewolf further.”
He kissed my hand as he stopped me by a bedroom’s door. “For now, enjoy yourself as Elaine Winona Rutherford before you become Mrs. Elaine Winona Moonstorm.”
My brows rose. “Is that your family name?”
“Unbelievable isn’t it?”
Before I could reply, he brushed a kiss on my lips and, in a wave of a hand, the bedroom’s door opened.
I gaped as soon as I beheld the magnificent view of the bedroom.
***
Gold bathed the whole room, glinting in every corner where my eyes met them.
Gosh, I never saw a house as luxurious and regal and lavish as this. If I had known earlier in my life, I would gladly come by and be the ultimate sacrifice to this werewolf anytime of the year.
“So…” I turned to him. “This will be our bed, then.”
He gazed at me from head to toe and said, “I’m at the adjacent room if you need anything. Just ring the bell on your bedside table and I will be there.”
Then the door slammed shut.
“Pheww, he’s such a killjoy!” I frowned as I made my way to the king-size bed. Even its covers and blankets are in gold color. “I am just asking if this is our bed.”
Jason is right—Tyler’s childish. One moment, he’s jovial and delightful. Then in a heartbeat, he’s back to his grumpy self. To be honest, he can pass more of a woman due to his constant mood shifts.
I laid in this shimmering and shiny bed. As soon as my body felt the comfort of it, I felt like sinking into the heavenly clouds themselves—so soft and cozy and fragrant.
I then noticed a vase filled with lavender and roses on the left side of the bed. Its colors are my favorite. It seems to welcome me, and smile at me.
“Hey there, lavender! How’d you doing, rose?” I caressed the flowers and spoke to it, as if it would reply.
Frustrated, I stood and went by the windows. It was made of glass, from the ceiling up to the floor. I could see widely what’s on the outside.
I think it’s better not to mention what I’ve seen amidst this time of day—or night, I don’t know. They were so loud that their moans made me cover my ears. I watched them for a few seconds. The man is muscular and the girl was…is she pregnant?
“It’s not good to peer at other people’s business.” There he is again, suddenly speaking without me even knowing how he entered my room.
“You better sleep now. I bet you’re tired.” Tyler strode towards me and shut the gold and black curtains.
He smirked down at me. I grinned at him as if to say, ‘Will we be doing like that soon?’
“There’s a secret door from my room to yours. The bad thing is that only I can open it.”
I was about to open my mouth when the people who were doing it outside became very loud. They’re probably having their climax now, I whispered to myself.
I sneaked into the curtains for a second when he wasn’t looking. They were still outside. Their bodies are still united, as were their lips.
When I turned around again, Tyler was nowhere to be found. “So unfair of him that he can sneak into my room but I can’t do that to his!”
My face was still pouting even when I lay down on the heavenly golden bed. The softness of it made me calm a bit but I was still drifting into my thoughts.
“Is it true what he says about my family? Or was it just a ruse so that I will no longer visit them?”
I noticed I was still wearing that white (it’s brown now) wedding-ish gown given to me by the people who took me in that forest. I decided not to change clothes. Because in the first place, I freaking didn’t bring any clothes with me.
I suppose he would like to see me naked. But it’s too cold to be just nude.
So I shut my eyes, with the question about my family still lingering in my mind.
Sleep eventually visited me and my snore reverberated amidst this one hell of a golden room.

Tyler’s POVThere she is, lying atop the stone table like some sort of a call girl waiting to be thrusted wildly. She was beautiful in white, calmly looking at the stars above as if she was waiting for something, for someone. The girl was some sort of humming a tune in which I can’t vaguely recognize. I proceed to approach her in a predator walk, still in my wolf form. I walk nearer, closer to her. Now, I can hear clearly the song she was humming. It was Brahms Lullaby—but in a creepy way. “Gosh, when will that wolf come?” Those words coming from her mouth made me snarl. Does she really think I will eat her? Well, I will soon eat her. But in a different way. “Hahaha,” my wolf Remus’ laugh was deep and dark. She noticed me and her eyes grew wide. Then wider as I stood on both of my feet. What made me flabbergasted is that she didn’t shout or shriek or yell. She sat straight and j

It’s been normal for me to see women gape upon seeing me naked. But seeing Elaine flabbergasted…gosh, I almost forgot not to bite my lip seductively. I just put her down roughly on the murky ground, courtesy of this morning’s cold rain. Mud had already stained my moon-white fur earlier, splashed into my wolf body the moment she landed on the filthy ground. She whimpered in pain, and I just watched her because my entirety is also aching as well. My cerulean eyes sparkled as I can now clearly see her beautiful body under the light of the Snow Moon. She has huge melons for her age, perfect and round. I bet it will just fit in my hands. Her kind peering eyes seem to feast on my unclothed body. Her hair was as black as this night—as well as luscious and a bit wavy, but not too straight either. Her skin is the color of snow and her body is the shape of an hourglass. I arrogantly showcased my body before her, hoping that Elain

“I just wanted to test my soon-to-be bride if she fits my taste,” I murmured between her lips. To be honest, I never knew I was a very good liar. “And what if I’m not?” She scooped my face, parting it away from her red shining, cherry lips. Why is this woman playing hard to get? ‘Dearest Goddess Selena, please make my fucking woman crazy for me…’ I prayed. Well, it’s more of a demand than a prayer. “You will be. I will not save you from your family if you don't fit my taste,” I smirked because my face loves to do it. She nodded. “My family. They are…” “They died a week ago.” I hate to tell her that but the truth always hurts. It even hurts me when Jason ‘truthfully’ told me that I must wear a deodorant if I want to keep women clinging to me. Of course, I’m angry at my brother. He has a goddamn two decades to tell me that I smell and he just recently told me that unpleasant truth about me minutes befo

Karlo and Gialyca are having sex outside on this damn hour. They are so loud and rough, and never hesitated to do it in front of Elaine’s window. They must be Elaine’s reason for still being awake, especially the windows of her room serve as some sort of a television’s screen—making her see such a breath-taking, clear view of Karlo and Gia’s convergence. ‘Can’t they just do it in the room?’ I thought. Damn, Karlo is acting like a real wolf again—taking his mate under the sea of stars, thrusting inside her in a dog’s mating position. I frowned at him when he saw me standing at my arched windows. ‘Get laid inside, Karlo!’ I commanded via our minds’ link. He’s a Black Wolf and the Alpha of the Onyx Pack, a manipulator of all things that give light and dark. Gialyca Farmiga is a famous supermodel who decided to live permanently in Moonburn.

Elaine’s POVOne week ago… “What the hell are you doing there, Elaine? Go and grill some pork!” Even on the beach, my mother’s commanding voice didn’t stop me from taking a break. In fact, I haven’t yet taken a swim. Frustrated, I strode towards the barbecue grill and grabbed some marinated pork that I’ve also marinated before we got here and started to grill. While them…they are just casually laughing and playing beach volleyball. I was so in rage, treating me as if I’m their private maid and ordering me with even the tiniest chore like taking off their shoes and picking up their towel in the sand. Even wiping their body dry from the seawater, it was still my job to do. I clenched my fist and focused on grilling. But my wicked mind played a trick on me and I imagined that I was cooking them atop the sizzling enormous charcoal-grill that I exclusively made for them alone. All four of them in the sharpness of the human-sized sticks I made and above

I was right. They are done eating and I was late for a couple of minutes. And because of my tardiness, a palm-sized beef steak and a lobster’s head is the only thing left for me to eat amidst the abalones, crawfish, pork belly, chicken breast, beef steak, crabs, shells, and three lobsters I prepared, cooked, and bought for them. This is all I have, all that was left for me to eat: a fucking palm-sized beef steak and lobster’s head. I smashed my fist on the table due to this anger simmering inside me. I don’t know if it’s a good thing that they’re swimming in a distance from me but I guess it’s a good thing then. So that this knife and grill will not land on their eyes and throat. I wiped my tears with the sleeve of my shirt. “Perhaps if I’ve been earlier, there will be more food for me to eat.” I think not. Early or tardy, they will still see me as an extra baggage to the family that can just be discarded and forgotten anytime. They will still lea

“I still want to hold on to my heart, you know,” I said to the beast as I prepared my lightning-fast feet for a Flash-like run. And just like that, I run. Without waiting for any signs if I should. ‘Run, Elaine. Run!’ My chant seems to not work when the entity becomes hellishly terrifying. It leaped on top of the huge rock to where I just puked earlier and gave me a chase. I refrained from looking back and forth and focused my eyes, my feet, and my whole body to just freaking shit run. ‘Just run.’ I told myself, the beast on my tail. I ran faster and quicker than I ever have as if my life depends on this. Well, my life—and my heart—do depend on my running, on how fast I could run. I was running for goddamn I don’t know how many minutes when I reached the spot to where a couple was having sex earlier. Well, the couple is still here—but they are no longer having sex.

Óh, God. Oh God. ‘Could it be my fam—’ “Ms. Rutherford!” I whipped my head to Mr. Evans. “Yes?” Beads of sweat cascaded down from my face. “Do you have nothing more to say to the police?” My brows rose. My heart throbbed. “More info to give, statement to say?” I shook my head. “Nothing? You are somewhat shaking to be honest.” “Nothing more than the statement I already gave,” I finally exhaled. “Good. You are free to go now.” So I did. Without looking back. I just walk to where my untouched food is, where I was hoping that it was still untouched and my family are still wandering to hell where they want to explore. ‘But what if it’s my family that—‘ I shook my head and hit my shoulder with a tap. ‘It’s impossible. My family has a foul smell. I don’t think the wolfish creatures would feast on such foul-smelling souls.’ But what if my

This is my fucking third book, which took me almost six months to finish. *laughing devilishly* You might be surprised why this has a sad/shocking ending. But I’d like to point out that not all stories end in “happily ever after”. I look forward to expanding the story of Elaine and Tyler. But as long as it does not harbor enough readers, the ending remains as it is. If ever enough readers would demand a sequel or a better love story between Elaine and Tyler, then I shall provide you/them a story that will fulfill happiness and give justice to the characters. I’m sorry if this story ends this way as there are things that made me stop at that point. As a writer with limited resources and is struggling, I commit to my very best to provide you quality and unique stories that will somehow quench your reader taste. To be honest, up until now, I am still learning the world of werewolves and fated mates and stuff. That’s why my n

Jason’s face crumpled and stared at the wounds on his body. “Don’t you think it’s weird?” “What?” “I’ve been kidnapped, but they treated my wounds.” “Yeah, I agree. What else could be the reason that they were keeping you alive?” Jason scratches his chin and looks at the ceiling seriously. “I don’t know…” He continues, “They’re trying to get something from me.” His jaw locked. We fell in silence. He looked at me again. “Where’s Elaine by the way?” I blushed. “She’s out to get me food.” I lied with a poker face. “Oh,” he nodded, “you’re hungry…” “Yeah. I crave something… sweet.” He fell quiet. “Let’s just wait for her.” Both of us agreed to ‘wait’ for Elaine before we escaped to my white mansion. Elaine has been kidnapped by them, and I woke up in my mansion after that with my brother pounding on the doorstep. However, a blaring sound of an alarm echoed inside, and a monotone and robotic voice spoke on the speaker. “Code 134. Code 134. Code 134. An alien got into the hospita

I know Rowan is stupid, but I didn’t expect him to be dumber than a street dog. He only had a few back up from his kind, but half of them were now on the floor. People were going crazy inside the restaurant as I stumbled on my table and grabbed Elaine’s wrist to get her out of this place. However, a blonde Hearteater kicked my knees and pounced on Elaine’s face. And my wife was thrown away from my grip. Words have no place in a fight to the death. My vision blurs and I no longer fucking care who I’ll kill. Anyone who tries to intervene me will fucking die. I lunged at Rowan but fainted at the last second. He goes whistling past me. Rowan encircled me first before his hands stretched out to grab me. I leap onto Rowan like a howler monkey. When he throws his hands up into my hair and yanks, bending over and trying to flip me off, I cling for dear life, viciously digging my nails into him as hard as I can, tightening my grip like a freaking boa constrictor.

Luna Elaine and I got into a fight an hour later after that. I was ready to prepare for a war. I trained my pack like an army, where death sweeps to wherever we fought alongside each other. Those who want to be part of our journey will sign up voluntarily, those who don't want to, they can freely not. I’m not an authoritarian leader, so it’s up to the choice they will make. However, all men signed up. No one backed down. “Elaine…” I sighed, looking at her tucked up in our bed. She’s been like this for the past few days. I was so busy with the pack that I could only check her up in the evening. Tonight, I couldn’t hold the deafening silence between us anymore. “Please, my wife, don’t be like this.” No response was heard a heartbeat later. “Can you just support me?” I heard her muttering a heavy sigh before turning at me. “Why will I support someone who wants to be a killer? You’ll be no different compared to the Hearteaters.” My jaw moved, and I couldn’t help but to look awa

Tyler’s POV I thought it will be a peaceful night. We were bombarded with the news circulating in the pack about a pulp who was found dead in the middle of the woods. The guards who were having their nightly rotation immediately reported to the headquarter’s office about the said situation. “We thought it was a human, but it turns out it was one of our pack, Alpha,” Geoffrey, a guard on duty, explained to me. A mixture of jasmine and vanilla filled my nose.I glanced at the far left corner, and there, I saw Elaine’s shadow. Her eyes were telling me that she was worried. Very worried. I quickly went to her and grabbed her arms. “What are you doing here?!” “What do you mean?” She scoffed. “Someone from Stella’s Soul is dead!” “As if it was new to you,” I growled. “That’s why you shouldn’t be here, Elaine. Go back to our mansion!” “Are you kidding me, Tyler?” “No, I am not.” I sighed, my chest felt heavy while my eyes roamed around the place. The guards saw my gesture as a

Tyler’s POV The smell of burning flesh flooded the air, choking me in desperation as I watched my wife burn. My wife. My mate. “My Elaine…” ‘You love her?’ Remus asked. I continue to watch flames erupt from her and burn the nearby grass. “Yes,” I muttered loudly. As loud as Elaine’s shrieks, whose bones are probably melting this very second I hesitated. ‘Then save her.’ Hesitation flooded my face and mind. But this is not the time to cower. No, I have been a coward long enough. It’s time to make little sacrifices of my own. I forced my body and soul to crawl near her, disregarding the tears that tried to hinder my sheer sight. Elaine sacrificed herself for us—burned herself for us, even killing our child in her womb. This is wrong. Utterly wrong. Minutes ago, I imagined her killing myself—drowning her into the very spring where I used to bathe to clear my thoughts.

Tyler’s POV I parted my mouth from her trembling lips. She was cold and pale despite the balmy breeze here in the spring. Something is wrong with her. I can smell it. Feel it. My hands immediately reached for her bag even before she could protest. And there was only gasoline and matches, a torch and a lighter. “So we’re going to have a barbecue and you didn’t bring any meat?” She chuckled, eyes looking straight at the body of water before us. “I hope you can teach me how to hunt. A rabbit will do.” She’s been speaking all along without looking me in the eyes. Something is very wrong here. The doctor just called me minutes ago that Elaine is acting suspiciously, disturbingly. Asking questions about burning and suicide, says it’s about a book she’s reading. The once joyful Elaine, my Elaine, has suddenly become cold and distant. Scared and worried. “What’s wrong, my snow flower?” She

Several full moons have passed, distress is still whispering in my mind. I have finished reading Rowena’s journal as far as I can remember—before the moment my eyes burned upon Tyler seeing a bloody blade in the trash, forcing me to make up excuses believable enough for a pregnant, powerless eighteen-year-old woman like me. I never felt sadder than today. It felt like, since I already knew enough from Rowena’s journal, I no longer felt the need to live. And I…I remained prepared for whatever unexpected might happen. What unexpected things I might let happen. I stared at the she-wolf doctor’s face. She’s calm and gorgeous compared to me. I might still look beautiful on the outside. But deep inside, I’m panicking. Quivering and anxious about what may happen in any minute now. I’m ready to die, yet still afraid of death. “You must be extra careful, Elaine. Since you’re in your final trimester, you’r

“Why are we having pasta for breakfast again?” Tyler sighed, his muscles tensing. “For carbs and to give us energy, I guess.” Even if he’s going to feed me a bucket of Carbonara, it will still not give me enough energy to face Eliane. To face all of these shenanigans and bullshits that has been causing chaos in my head. I thought being here in Stella’s Soul is just being a wife to a werewolf, pleasing the Alpha, being good to other Stella’s Soul residents, fucking my Alpha husband and giving birth to his heir. Those were the things I have expected ever since I’ve learned about their world. Until I learned about the Hearteaters. And Rowena and dark magic, Eliane and this fucking bitchcraft which involves the fact that I must die so that the latter can resurrect. “Why Elaine? You don’t like pasta for breakfast?” I nodded.
