HAYDEN
‘Hayden, isn't that…’
“Rose thorns…” I muttered as I watched Roxanne mingling with the pack, and I took notice of the sudden changes around Roxanne’s energy flow. It was showing again, those rose thorns that seemed alive and swirling around her protectively.
‘Her scent was changing too.’
“Rainfall and bloody roses.” Hearing my wolf's comment, I sniffed the air around my wife, and it was starting to shift as well.
‘Was her hair even like that?’
“Now that you mention it, I’ve been noticing the tip of her hair was turning bloody red, faint but now, they were spreading.” My eyes went narrow as I
ROXANNEOur wedding was blessed. Everyone enjoyed and was happy for our union, but ever since I started to feel the changes brewing inside of me, I felt hot. I thought it was due to the attack of the rogues, but this desire was more for Hayden. I noticed it as soon as I saw Hayden come back from the fight; the desire of wanting to bathe with everything about her strangely annoyed me, especially now that she had been fueling it up by stripping in front of me. She was going to pay for what she felt inside me.“You’re going to pay for this one, Hayden.” Feeling the heat escalate inside of me, I let myself drown and stripped.I didn’t have any problem with my body or didn’t care much about
ROXANNE“This was just a dream, right?” I chanted, but I still wondered since I could not believe that I was looking at my exact split image, although there was no mirror or water to reflect on how I looked.My heartbeat started to tremble, making my body shake up, and I began to sweat, but I gritted my teeth, and with squinted eyes, I noticed the difference between us; her eyes and hair color were different from my bloody red ones; they were brunette. But aside from the physical appearance that she had, she was more mature, and the energy flowing around her was somehow familiar to me—familiar, yet I can't distinguish where or when I met my doppelgänger.“Let’s get going before your usual dream reaches you.” I was snapped from
ROXANNEHesitation swirled around their hearts, but their lady’s command was absolute. There was no room for argument, or their heads would be on their lady’s plate. As the head of the knights sent their lady’s command, mass murder erupted, which caused turmoil inside of me, and I wanted to kill this lady.“If only I could; I already did.” With gritted teeth and a well-controlled urge, I muttered as I let it play more.‘You’re turning into someone like her.’‘Well, she thought me well.’‘I hope you’re not being manipulated since that’s how she is.’‘You tell that to yourself. She trusted me with this
Shaking. I’m shaking too much to something I wasn’t prepared to dream of.‘Kill them all. Make sure no one escapes.’In the deepest abyss of the darkest side of night creatures’ realm, an amused voice spread out a command that forced lower creatures to obey. I can’t bear to witness what was about to unfold before my sight. But the slaughtering and mass murdering erupted terror at the once peaceful small rural village. I know nobody survived there. There was no sign of life left and the murderers were gone. I thought the nightmare was done and I was going to wake up but when the heavy rain started to wipe out the flames engulfing the entire area. But something caught my feet and followed the trail of blood on the ground where I found one survivor.‘Help…me…’
HAYDEN“It’s been so long since that dream kept recurring in my sleep…” I thought as I jumped from my bed from the sudden knock echoing around my room.‘Hayden, wake up we need to talk.’I know what they were after and won’t be able to dodge it. I have to face it if they won’t be persistent pests. But I speak too soon since as soon as I head downstairs to chat with the family, I don’t like what I hear.“Find your Luna as soon as possible.” I glared at my number one persistent pack elder, grandfather.Hearing him uttered those words, I was starting to get grumpy right after I woke up from my rest and weird dream but due to his words that I’m not ready to face, I’m starting to lose control. An
“HAYDEN ENOUGH!” A firm and intimidating voice from the previous alpha and my father, Venic shouted at me. I didn’t care.“ALPHA HAYDEN, STOP!” Then another voice shouted at me but it held a worried tone and it came from only a down-to-earth brother and a pack doctor, Henry but I didn’t listen.I kept slaughtering rogues by ripping them with my bare hands although they were lifeless already. I kept shredding them as if they were just a piece of paper and I didn’t care if I was already bathing with their stinking blood. This is who I am now; a ruthless-heartless monster and I can’t stop. I already had sunk this deep.“HAYDEN!” but someone still could reach out to my sanity, Harriett, my sister, and pack gamma called out to me with her firm
HAYDEN“Alpha Hayden…” My ears perked up upon hearing Sue, my omega who was serving in the pack house enter after a knock.I was usually at my alpha office to deal with the paperwork and make some deals with neighboring packs. It was tiring but it kept my mind off from my sensitive past that I don’t want to touch or recall at the moment since I have to be the alpha that everyone should fear and not belittle like they once did.“What is it?” I coldly responded without looking and let me do my work since it had been piled up, again.“Dr. Henry told me to give it to you since it needed your approval.” The omega handed me an envelope and left after I received it.“My approval?” I wondered since my siblings usually bragged i
HAYDEN“Alpha Hayden…” My ears perked up upon hearing Sue, one of the omega servants in the pack house enter my office after a knock.“What is it?” without looking, I coldly responded as kept focusing on the paperwork that was already piled up, again.“The pack elders wanted to speak with you.” Sue politely informed me which creased my eyebrow before looking confusedly at her.“I already talked with them, what’s missing?” I coldly wondered but Sue cleared to me who were the pack elders she was referring to.“No, Alpha. It’s not them, it’s your grandparents.” Despite her skeptical tone, Sue corrected herself as she informed me about my other visitors for the day.“Why they can’t just leave me alone?” He

HAYDENDifferent. I truly felt different ever since Roxanne and I got engaged last week, and our routine might be the same, but there was something else had been added. We were also busy preparing for our wedding we planned to be simple yet, with the input of our families and friends, making it feel extravagant. I know it was a once-in-a-blue-moon occasion, but seriously, it was our moment and not theirs."I see a long sigh. What happened this time? Any disturbing rogue attempts or the nobles?" Without looking, I heard my lovely mate's voice when she entered the office since I was swamped with paperwork. I stopped and looked at Roxanne lovingly."The rogues and nobles seem laid off for a moment these past few weeks already. It was nice but at the same time disturbing." With open arms,
ROXANNESurely my life wasn't the best one, but it was enough to get me by, after Hayden happened in my life, a horrifying event took place—but what made me stay was the life she brought back in me. I thought I wouldn't be able to feel them again, but I'm grateful it did, although it was scary. As long as she was with me, I would get through them. I might not share it with her, but she made me believe in myself again. Waking up beside the person you never thought would see you as who you are and know you better than you do was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I don't want to lose it.Hayden's note:Lovely morning to my dearest mate. I'm sorry if I was not beside you when you woke up but be assured that I stole my morning kisses while you slept and saw you around, my love. I love yo
HAYDENThrobbing heart echoed frantically through my ears, making them numb. I could feel the pressure making me sweat and shake up, but I had to do this. I decided to do this, and there was no turning back. I have to win her back. I had to take her back because I needed her; my heart, my soul, and everything of me needed her. I love her more than I felt for Tania before. She might be an unusual being, but she was more than just a word."Are you ready?" My mother's excited voice asked as she checked on me. I took a deep breath before smiling."Nervous, but yeah, I am," I admitted as I wiped my sweaty palms over my jeans."Then win her heart." Tania encouraged me as she showed her two thumbs up, making me chuckle.
HAYDENI might be charmed by how my lovely mate showed her possessiveness whenever she claimed me as her lover. It was making me hot and bothered, but what bothered me the most was the point it backfired on me. Meaning, that I was back in stalking mode and not being able to touch or talk to her casually if it was not work-related.“Nia, are you cool with Sage already?” I curiously asked while we watched our mates move around the kitchen with my mother. They were preparing our lunch since my mother insisted on teaching our lovers to cook her recipes.“Well, I know how to get through to her and learned my lesson. So, yeah, we’re okay.” Tania grinned as if she recalled the moment she had with her wife. I envy her.“Good.” I sighed, but my smil
ROXANNE“Stupid. Stupid. Stupid, Roxanne.” I mentally cursed myself for the sudden burst I showed everyone in the pack house. I know I shouldn’t have snapped and been angry about what happened in the past, but my mind stupidly recalled everything Hayden shared with me. It came rushing into my mind, and the emotions she went through mixed up with mine. I don’t understand how I see or feel them, but it happened, and now, I have to deal with it.“Why can’t you control your emotions? You’re really stupid,” I grumpily groaned as I walked as fast as I could toward the hospital.“Whoa, are you okay?” I heard RJ’s worried voice as she stopped me walking too fast and pulled me to her side. I almost hit the lamppost on the sidewalk.
