He is in shock as he didn't expect that I will yell back at him. He stares at me and I'm very much sure what his stare means. He must be wondering how it is it I came to become so brave when I should be scared. I am indeed scared but I manage to hide him from him because the moment he finds out, it will be used greatly against me and that's the very last thing that I want.

"You do know you've got some nerves young lady?" He ask without taking his eyes off me. I can see he is a bit fascinated but I am not moved. I

"And do you expect me to be some cowering fool who do nothing but get scared at the mere sound of people? I wasn't raised in that way!" I respond at once, the anger in me growing by the seconds.

"Oh, a very nice way to speak to the Alpha's son!" He announce and I shocked because never have It crossed my mind that he is someone of so great repute in the palace. I open my mouth to speak but no words come out of them.

    I can feel my ears ringing.I have been running blindly through these bushes but I can't seem to make myself stop. I know that I will be covered in bruises and thorns will make my skin their new home. I don't care though, better thorns in my flesh than these thoughts in my head. They are intrusive, taking over my whole being. What just happened in there? What did we just do? I just wanted to die, carve my heart out and end my misery. But he came, he had to stop me. I should have felt it. I should have known that there was someone beside me. "Stop it, Winter," I chide myself. Maybe it would have been different if I had chosen a different spot. I can still taste his lips on mine. The way he kissed me like he wanted me. It did not feel wrong, I wanted to melt into him too. I know that this is wrong, he should not have done that. I am just a slave, after all. If Patrick finds out, he will have my head on a platter by tomorrow. I have to stop running. My feet can't hold up any m

    I can not believe my ears. He said it. He has finally said it. I thought he didn't care. After what happened in the morning, I thought he just wanted to use me like all the other men. But he is different. He cares about me. I like how it makes me feel warm inside. My tummy feels like a big pot of squishy goo and the butterflies won't stop fluttering. I feel alive right now. I kiss him back. Nikolai. I kiss him with such frenzy that I forget that I am standing before him stark naked. He does not seem to mind my state of undress. He kisses me back with such fervor that we end up on the floor. He cups my face gently and kisses my forehead. It is sweet and gentle, nothing like I have ever felt before. In this moment, I feel all my walls crumble. My defenses are broken right now and I don't think they will ever go up again. I look at him with my night vision and I can see the desire in his eyes. My breath hitches and emotion wells up in my throat as I look up at him. "Nikolai," I mutter

    I heave a sigh of relief and I proceed with what I am doing. Somehow, I don't know why I seem to care for him more than I should. My eyes flicker around until they rest of him."I'm glad you arrived when you did. Goodness knows what would have happened!" I mutter as I place my hand on my chest, pacifying myself a bit."You do not have anything to worry about... You should just be careful next time and not allow anyone find you out!" He says, flashing me a bright smile. My heart is tickled by it and I want to run right into his hand but I cannot do so. Others may be watching and then they will suspect something's going on between the both of us."Yes I will... I have to return now," I say, wink at him and then Saunter off. My head is filled with all thoughts of the previous times we spent together and she smiles. A wide grin adorns her face, making me look more beautiful.The others notice the constant smile on my face and I can bet the so badly want to ask me about it but definitely d

    I sigh as I realize what is about to happen to me. I brace myself up for the worse but with that, I'm still not ready. I know my father and I know just what he can do when he is upset. He can everything you never imagine that he will do, so I begin to think of the excuse to give to him not to save myself but to save winter who he wouldn't spare.My dash swashes through the floor and he knows he has to do something about it with away. His pace is out of this world and with in a jiffy, he arrives at the palace with his head high. He sighed once again before heading in to meet his father in his chambers where he knows he will be."You sent for me dad!" I say to him at once, Unable to stare him in the face. I can't bear to see the anger in his eyes and hell he must be feeling so disappointed in me but well, I don't give a damn about it. All I want is for winter to be saved from whatever he may be hatching."Yes I did send for you! How are you doing son? It's been a while since we last sp

    ROSE I can bear the thought no longer so I decide it's best I head to bed instead of listening up on their conversation. I rise from where I am seated and walks right into the house at once, muttering a word of greeting to them, one which they refuse to acknowledge, or perhaps they did not hear me greet them. I lay on my bed and I'm about shutting my eyes when my stomach makes a loud rumbling noise that jilts me forward immediately. I place a hand on my belly to Surpress it a bit but it changes nothing. "Didn't you just say you are heading to bed? You should do so, so the meal can go round the others!" A voice whisper to me, upsetting me a bit. It dawn on me that I am extremely foolish to think that I should go to sleep all because the Alpha Prince will be getting married to someone else. "No, I'm waiting to eat and then I'll sleep!" I respond to the voice like the speaker is just by my side. The others fix their gaze on me and I feel a bit uncomfortable but not enough to intimidate

    Nikolia's Pov.I try to understand why my father keeps trying to interfere with everything that pertains to me but I find it so difficult to achieve. It has become so annoying and now he even wishes to outsource a wife for me indirectly, while knowing that I have someone I'm seeing already."How can he do this to me? And he even takes away the right for the omegas to join in!" I say to no one in particular as I pace around the room, my hands resting on my chest. I try to picture myself making the selection but I just can't, not when my mate is right here with me in the same clan."Goodness! What am I going to do, damn it!" I curse in a loud voice, slamming my hand against the table in front of me. It gave a shrieking sound before it came crashing to the floor. I sigh as a pang of guilt washes through me."You'll have to do just what you should do!" A voice says to me from behind. I turn my head at once, wondering who it is. "Oh, it's you! What do you even know I'm talking about?" I a

    I notice the Frown on nikolia's face as he stare at me. I am a little disturbed as to why he keeps staring at me the way he's doing. various thoughts run through my mind but none of them seems to fit in. A sigh escapes from my Lips as I bow a bit before him."All hail the crown Prince!" We chorus at once but instead of responding to my greetings, he continues to stare at me. At this stage, I find it difficult to understand why he's staring at me this way. I cast a glance at Hunter who has by this time raised his head up."Is anything the problem sir?" I hear him ask immediately and I am a bit surprised. Never did I expect that he will speak the way he did. I fear for him but not as I will have if if were to be the king he's speaking to."Who are you?" Nikolai roar at him in a loud and thunderous voice that startle me a bit. I raise my head to him and I see his face - as blank as a plain sheet of paper."I am hunter, an omega!" He responds with such braveness and courage that leaves me

You know you really hurt me so much with the way you speak to me as well, right?""I'm sorry. I was only jealous!"

    EPILOGUE 2018 A Maybach gears up after the traffic lights turn green. There's a man in a suit in the back seat. He's looking out the window and staring at the billboard of an author and popular model. She's beautiful. He thinks, and he continues staring until his phone rings. "Hello?" "Liam, will you still make it for the meeting?" "Yes, Zach. I'm on my way. There's no traffic, so I'll be there in about five—" The car comes to an abrupt halt. He hears the sound of crash and mutters a curse under his breath. He will not be getting out of this one easily. He looks up and sees the angry driver of the other vehicle already slamming their door closed. He turns to his driver. "What happened?" "I don't know. She just stopped abruptly. I have no idea why. This woman is obviously crazy." He pinches his forehead and comes down from the car after his driver does. She is furious and crazy because the way she's already raving about her bashed car has him taking cautious steps forward.

    NIKOLAI Winter's giving birth. I'm as anxious as a live wire. I'm pacing the halls of the house while the midwives and the pack physician deliver our son. Hunter is with me. He's carrying his daughters and feeding them breakfast on the dining table. The house has been gloomy for months since Tara died. This is the first thing that has brought joy to all of us. Our son. I can't wait to meet him. I wonder who he would look like. Deep down, I want him to look like his mother. I smile to myself, and Hunter calls me out. "Pull yourself together. You are embarrassing me." I clasp my sweaty palms together. "I guess this was how you felt when the twins were born." Hunter smiles genuinely. He doesn't do that anymore. There's no reason for joy in his life, and I truly feel sorry for him and for everything he's been through. He lost Daphne and lost Tara, and to think he will always have the memories lodged in his head is pure torture, even for me. "Yes. I'm pretty damn sure I felt much wors

    WINTERSix Months Later...It's been six months since Daphne and her father tried to destroy us. Six months since we've heard anything about her whereabouts. Life seemed to go on in contast paranoia that they would be back, especially for Nikolai. I'm almost due. My bump is large, like someone trapped a volleyball inside there. The pack doctor examines me. He says I keep getting weaker and weaker. I've told no one about the conversation Isador and I had the night of Hunter and Tara's big escape. But I know why I'm being diagnosed as weak. I have little time left with my son and mate. It's breaking my heart.I know Elkan didn't survive his brothers wrath. Killian killed him and his triplets before Hunter could make do with his promise. It's beating him up, but he doesn't show it. The fact that he failed those innocent children. It only means one thing, though. Killian owes use all a life, and he will pay up when the time comes.The pack doctor shakes his head. "Your temperature and bl

    HUNTER They had beaten me to a pulp, but they were going to need more than that to end me. I just need to know if Tara is alright. Since Daphne carried her into that separate room, I have seen nothing and heard nothing. My wolf is terribly weak. I struggle against the chains. I've been doing that for hours. Killian came and asked Daphne when she was going to kill me. She may hate me now, but I know she can never do something as horrendous as that. Daphne still loved me. I couldn't kill her as well if given the chance. There was just something holding us back. She stalled my execution date until two days from now. Meaning, Nikolai has 48 hours to rescue me successfully, or I have just that amount of time to break free before they sell her off to Ander. I need to save her, or else I won't forgive myself. I struggle against the chains bound to the ceiling above. It hung me up. I pull with all of my might, but nothing can save me from the weakness freezing my wolf out. I feel helpl

    NIKOLAITheir weapons are laced with wolf's bane and poisons of various calibres. We are outnumbered, and it's also impossible for us to win this war against Ander. My wolves are perishing all around me, and I feel helpless. Ander is on his horse wrecking havoc with the mighty scythe in his hand.I run for him, growling as my fangs gleam under the afternoon sun. He's about to hit one of my closest wolves from behind. I dive on his horse and throw him to the ground, cartwheeling and dodging the scythe's blade by a narrow miss.Ander roars, getting on his feet. It's between the both of us. I'm not armed, and I know I've got to be careful while going against that blade. Winter warned me about that, and I promised myself I would make it out alive.I charge at him, and he comes for me as well. We clash, baring our teeth. Our wolves around us are still going at each other. Still, it is clear that Ander is winning. He shoves me to the ground. I bring out my leg and swipe it across, making him

    DAPHNE Tears burn my throat. It didn't occur to me that he would actually find my replacement. I still loved him deeply, but I couldn't disobey my father. If he chose me now, I would have abandoned everything and saved him from this hell. But the man I love is interested in another woman. This must be my karma. I walk into the barren room where Tara has been kept inside. I know she's scared, but I'm so livid that I could pluck out her entire hair. How dare she steal what is mine? "Ander would love to hear you survived his trap. He would take your sorry ass back and punish you for life because that is what you deserve." Tara starts begging. She knows what it's like to be slaved under Alpha Ander. Not to mention being punished eternity by him. It's pure hell, and I want to laugh at the terrified look on her face. I do laugh. "What? Scared, are we? This is what you get for taking what's not yours." "I didn't know you and Hunter were an item. I met him by chance and he said nothin

  • Second Chance Luna   Chapter 162: Knowing The Enemy

    HUNTER I told her not to go. I told her I had to stay put right here inside the damned pack house, but she just won't listen. One thing I've learnt about Tara is that she's as pig headed as they come and can't take no for an answer. She literally dragged me out from the house to come and pick herbs in the woods. Her argument is that it's close by and we won't be gone for more than half an hour. It takes only a second for things to go epically wrong, but I don't know why I can't resist her anymore. When she speaks, she always finds a way to get to me, and she doesn't even do much. She only just has to say the word. I don't what to make of it, but I'm trying to school myself into making this the only time such would repeat itself again. Sure, she can pick her herbs for now, but next time, I won't consent to something as careless as this, leaving the pack house unguarded. She's in front of me, skipping happily into the woods. I'm always happy to see her smile. The sight of it just m

    WINTER I dread waking up to this morning because I know what it means for us. Nikolai wants us to do this. He wants us to pay Jacob a visit, but I don't think I'm ready. Jacob was the man who hurt me. Although he seems repentant, I still can't tell what his heart would be like. I'm stepping out of the bathroom when he meets me halfway. Nikolai hugs me. Last night brought us a lot closer intimately. I was so darn sure I would have his babies after that. He made sure of it. But then, would the curse of Rose find me now that I am Winter. Will I still not be able to have kids of my own? "Hey, babe." Nikolai calls me, resting his forehead against mine. "You look stressed. Don't be stressed." "You know why I'm stressed." "I'll be right there with you. You don't have to be scared because you have me protecting you always." He has a point. I know he will never abandon me. Nikolai loves me so much. He proved that last night, and I'm certain he will always have my back in everything. I do

  • Second Chance Luna   Chapter 160: Falling Hard and Fast

    HUNTER I walk ahead as soon as I walk towards my room in the Alpha's home. She's right behind me in the next minute. I saw her hold back her words before Nikolai was out of respect. I knew the second she was in the clear, she was going to come at me with everything she's got. Funny enough, I'm anticipating it. I'm also anticipating seeing more of her in those pretty clothes. It's new for Tara. "Ever heard of give people their flowers, Hunter?" She crosses her arms as she falls in step with me. Nikolai and Winter have occupied the main stairs, so we are going all around to get to my room. Tara is just following me without a clue about where she's going. "That's the most senseless thing I've ever heard." She blocks my path, walking with her back when I don't stop coming forward. "Take that back." Tara slaps my chest. Coming from a werewolf, her hit does justice, and I almost break a wince. "I won't take it back, Tara. Because it's my opinion." "I found you empathetic at first
