Anika was looking at her reflection in the bathroom as she was getting ready for her big day. It was the Folk Festival day when the locals and the tight community where Damien was from would be mingling under one banner and they would interact with each other.
It was the day that she had been waiting for.Damien had sent her home last night and he stayed for a while as they lay on the bed, hands intertwined while he was speaking about the traditions and the legend of the werewolves in Paphos.It all started with the Greeks that sailed to escape the cruel regime of Alexander the Great during Ancient Greece where he despised the Greeks that have been blessed by the Moon Goddess to have the super-strength of 100 men as well as how they could be the best soldiers in the army.After discovering that they did not worship the same gods and goddesses, Alexander asked for their executions until none of them survived. But thankfully, some of the special GreDamien opened the door of his home as Anika was looking at the darkened house. It was chilly in the air before she noticed that no one was around the courtyard. They have stumbled down the small trail that Damien knew would lead to his home. “After you, my sweet,” he said as he held the door for her. Anika should be afraid but right now, she just wanted to explore the entire house that will eventually be her new home. She took a step across the house before Damien scooped her up in bridal style and stepped through the threshold. “You don’t have to do that. It’s not like we’re married by the law,” Anika said before Damien put her down as he was gripping her shoulders. His smoldering grey eyes were burning hot for her as Anika was breathing heavily, knowing what was to come for both of them. “I want to answer the question of our marriage being legal, it is. We’re officially married but Sebastian will send the documents to the city hall next
The leaves were rustling as if the wind had passed through them. However, when one looked closely at the dark, forbidden forest that the tight community of Paphos, Cyprus had to forbid their children and citizens there, one would find that something was moving through the leaves, not the wind itself.The shadow lurked in the shrubbery, trying to stay hidden from its pursuers, laying low on the ground as its blue eyes were looking at the people—bad, dirty humans—who were trying to catch it beforehand.The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the forest as the dried leaves were crushed underneath their boots. The poachers were turning their heads here and there, wanting to make sure that they were not missing any spot that the sable, furry wolf could not be hiding away from them. Their leader harrumphed loudly as he stomped his foot on the ground.“Anything? Anything at all?” he asked his crew—the very people that he trusted to bring the big, black wolf t
The black wolf was snarling, showing his sharp canine as the poachers were circling him. His hind leg was invalid, making him trapped in between the dirty, foul humans that got off from their rush by hunting innocent creatures.It was time for them to know that they were not the apex predator anymore.The black wolf howled against the night, sensing the other werewolves that were near him. He looked at the humans that were approaching them until his blue eyes settled on one of the poachers.His energy was different from the others. The black wolf instantly knew that the werewolf in question—disguising and parading as a human among these poachers—was trying to connect with him through the mind link.However, since the black wolf was a rogue—a wolf who was alone and lonely—they could not communicate with each other. He can see the poacher with the violet eyes was in distress when he realized that the black wolf would be skinned alive by the poacher.
Zack was shifting in and out of the conscience when they arrived in the infirmary. His wounded leg has been attended to as Ian was taking measures so that he would not be amputated by the end of the treatment. His leg felt heavy with the cast before his wolf—Zane—growled in his awake.’What’s the matter? You know we are welcome here. If you don’t behave, we might have to find another shelter to live in before I can find my father’s family,’ Zack reminded Zane through their mind link. Zane ignored his warning he was scratching through the skin to get out in the open.’Zane, what the hell?!’ Zack barked, demanding an answer but his wolf just snarled at the command before he responded to his demand.’She is near. Our mate. She’s near and I want to rip anyone who would be walking an inch from her!’ Zane growled, pacing around inside him as Zack tried to rein him in.’Stand down, Zane. I mean it. I will have to use my power over you if you don’t behave
A few days passed by as Zack recovered his strength at the packhouse. The Beta of the Shadow Pack—Xavier—had noticed that Zack was being relentless. Therefore, he offered Zack to be on the lumber delivery services that needed his strength to deliver the lumber to the locals that Shadow Pack traded with.Mr. Papadopoulos was an old man who had a lot of grudges and a little kindness in him. When the Shadow Pack was doing business with him, the old man always went for the jugular vein—trading at a lower rate than usual for the lumber that he used to make the furniture for his carpentry business.Zack felt like the old man was trying to get the best out of the business but Xavier had shown him the way to handle the business professionally. He refused to bow down to the old man’s demands which might be a problem for the Shadow Pack in the long term if they complied with the old man’s wishes.The usual delivery day had come as Zack was jogging down from the pack
After their lumber delivery for that month, Zack and Arthur went back to their home. They showered and got ready for the intimate gathering that Mrs. Adamos—his new Mama—had planned to welcome Zack into their family as well as declaring that he was a part of the Shadow Pack.After spending a few weeks there, Zack discovered many things about Shadow Pack. The Alpha and Beta had just met with their fated mates when they were twenty-five years old.Traditionally, male werewolves would find their fated mates at the age of eighteen. However, with the modernization and advancement of technology, it was getting harder and harder to find their destined ones when the very sacred Paphos Pine Forest had been destroyed by irresponsible, dirty humans.Plus, the history between the Greeks and the Special Greeks that had been hidden from the public eyes made it more difficult for the shifters of Cyprus—particularly werewolves of Paphos—to be out in the open for they fear
“Welcome to our humble home, Alpha Caleb. Luna Marina,” Mrs. Adamos greeted the ruling couple as Caleb and Marina made their way into the backyard where everything had been set up by Arthur and Zack—with the help from Damien—for the gathering in honor of Zachary Adamos becoming one of the members for Shadow Pack of Paphos, Cyprus.“Thank you, Mrs. Adamos. I’m quite thrilled to welcome our newest member, Zack, to the pack as well as the title that had been agreed by the council,” Caleb stated as he took his seat after helping his wife to take a seat next to him. Mrs. Adamos furrowed her eyebrow.“I beg your pardon, Alpha, but did I hear that right? Is my Zachary will be entitled to the responsibilities of the pack? Alongside with his brother, Arthur?” Mrs. Adamos asked. Caleb nodded as Marina chuckled softly and smiled at the old woman.“You don’t have to worry about his safety, Mrs. Adamos. I’m sure Arthur will teach the necessity for Zachary to be able to protect himself. Plus, it wo
‘No, no, no! It cannot be him! He barely made it out as a member of the Shadow Pack and I have to be saddled with him. Is this a joke, Moon Goddess?’ Samantha hissed as she was making her way around the crowd that was filling the backyard of Arthur’s house.It also happened to be Zachary Adamos’ house—her fated mate.Samantha didn’t get the gist of what had happened to Zachary—Zack for short and what he preferred to be called—but she knew that Zack had been going through some rough shit since his accident—an attack upon his personnel by the rogue that worked together with dirty, filthy humans to take down the wolves in the sacred forest of Paphos.’It would seem that you are not happy with the match, Sam,’ Scarlet asked as images were flying through her head. Samantha frowned, rubbing her chest as she remembered the imprint that had happened between them. The im
