ROXANNE
Shock. Confusion. Disbelief. Those were the reactions I felt when Hayden amusingly shared what I had shown when we were trained together a few hours ago.
“No, I don’t believe you. I’m nothing like that…am I?” With a disbelief tone, I responded to Hayden's amusement. I could not easily believe how badly I could turn into something in the middle of a fight.
“Well, babe, believe me, you can be a ruthless vaewolf if you want to. But how come you haven’t noticed that?” Hayden slightly chuckled, but her curious question caught me sighing.
“I don’t know either. All I thought of was facing you head-on, and then the next thing I felt was the rush of blood in me, and I just moved according to the situation. An adrenaline rush, I guess.” With a shrug, I told her what I felt during
Deep in the night, I was having a nice nap beside my wife when I sensed something familiar lurking around the pack's perimeter. It was not threatening, but it gave me an eerie vibe I could not ignore. I carefully got up from the bed and left a lingering kiss on Roxanne's temple before slipping through our bedroom's window, but before I could jump off, I sensed a stare coming from my wife.
HAYDENTime kept ticking in the background as I stared at the door, waiting for my wife to enter. Sadly, another person knocked and entered the office. I sighed and rolled my eyes before slouching in my chair in disappointment.“Not the person you want to see?” With an amused tone, my beta, June, teasingly greeted me as he entered the office.“Shut the tease, June.” I grumpily responded while pretending to check the papers, although nothing was written on them.“Don’t be like that when June was doing a difficult task for us.” My ears quickly perked up as soon as I heard my wife's cold and disappointed tone. I didn't care about how she sounded there, but I did notice something.“Damn, how come I
ROXANNEWith the imagery opponent taking form before me, I received a fatal hit on the stomach and then on my face, causing me to stumble backward. I groaned since it was a fake image of my mother in battle mode, but it held so much power. It made me realize that she was a powerful opponent if this training was even real.“Again," my mother’s firm voice behind me made me click my tongue, but with determination, I got up and was ready to defeat imagery.“Feel them, Roxanne. Feel your surroundings. The way the energy flows and finds their weakness.” She added an instruction that reminded me of my meditation before.I closed my eyes a bit before opening them and started dodging my opponent's
HAYDENAfter finishing my deeds in the bathroom, I quickly changed my clothing when I heard my wife’s thoughts about the riddles I shared. I peeked at her thoughts but was rained down by a series of images from her dream that overlapped with recent events she had dealt with. I groaned as I almost lost my balance if I didn’t lean over the newly fixed frosted glass door frame.“Damn, her mind was running like a whirlwind.” Despite the pride that I was feeling, I sighed in defeat as I composed myself and let her mind do the thinking since I could not keep up with it just yet.Leaving how busy her mind works, I head back to the bedroom where I saw her preoccupied. Roxanne Morison-Salazar, my wonderful wife, and my unusual vaewolf Luna, n
HAYDEN“Hmm, I’m not certain, but I think they were not mates based on my dreams, especially around that man.” Roxanne agreed as she shared what she felt during her clairvoyant dream that surprisingly she shared with me.“Agreed, since he won’t kill her and eat her heart without feeling anything if they were mates.” With a little laugh, I agreed with her."However, what caused the man to cry like that? What did his wife do for him to become so depressed?" Roxanne snuggled into my arms as she wondered.“And why did you suddenly dream of that man when we’re dealing with some aristocrats?” I may have sounded like I was teasing her, but my intention was serious when I asked, causing her to sigh.“True, do you think he had some kind of connection to th
ROXANNE“So, babe, spill the tea or no food for your hungry stomach,” my wife mocked me about my complaining tummy on the way here, to her office, making me growl.“Honey, I’m not pregnant.” I pouted, making her laugh.“One day you will. So, spill the tea.” She winked at me as she insisted on knowing what Paython and I discussed earlier. I scowled at her before giving up.“Fine, I’ll tell, but give me that muffin, or I’ll cut all of them. You know how good I am at dissecting bodies.” But before I could reveal them, I surely warned Hayden, making her cringe. I mean it. If she refuses to let me eat; I will dissect every sensitive part of her and transform her into Frankenstein.“YAH!” She quickly covered her body, fearing I would do
HAYDENI was caught off guard when my wife, Roxanne, managed to hit the nerve, making me feel defensive. I couldn't even hide or lie about anything to her. She could read me as if we had known each other for decades.“Me? Oh, psshh…please, I can keep up…” I quickly defended myself, but my wife gave me her sinister smile as if she dared me to lie on her face, which I couldn't. I gulped. I'm supposed to be the alpha, but whenever I am with my wife, I can't bear to use that authority on her.“Well?” She lifted my chin to meet her mischievous eyes, making me pout. Damn, I hate this, but with her, I think I could be a submissive one.“Fine, I admit it. It was not that I couldn't read them; it was just that they were too fast and overlapping. It
ROXANNEStrange. I felt odd as soon as those words rang through my ears. It was somehow familiar, yet I couldn’t name it. It held strong power—she carried more power and authority than anyone in this room. I felt it as I shivered not just down my spine but also to my bones. My entire being was reacting weirdly to her presence, and I couldn’t help but kneel over the overwhelming power she emitted.“BABE! What’s wrong?” I heard my wife’s worried voice since I suddenly kneeled as soon as that adult woman spoke. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” I responded, but I couldn’t seem to move, which was the first time I felt that way ever since I went to my awakening. Then I shivered again when I heard a faint, amused chuckle, which reminded me ab
HAYDENRunning around the city hall, we learned that the ruined land hasn't been touched or looked at by potential buyers since rumors about it being haunted; it was overlooked. By learning of our interest in claiming the land, and with Roxanne's rights over it, it was given for free except for that maintenance fee, but the rest were all settled freely."They want to get rid of the haunted land." With an annoyed expression, I reacted, making my wife chuckle."Well, if I were in the same position, I would do the same before it cursed me," Roxanne smirked as we headed out of the city hall and drove back to the land to check it again."What do you mean?" I frowned as I drove the car as promised."H
ROXANNEI know my wife has been experiencing the changes in me since I completely awakened as a vaewolf. It was either the way I spoke, walked around the pack or the hospital, or how I behaved while I was with her. They were all different, but I felt no difference at all. The only difference between who I was before and who I am now is that I am more crafty when I plot anything or have a strong sexual drive. I was like a horny fella every time we messed around with each other, but only around my wife; otherwise, I would be furious if I turned into a cheating whore."Just thinking about it was making me sick." I sighed at the trail of my thoughts when I felt my wife's sneaky presence coming behind me. If before I would instantly flip her, but now I don't. I let her wrap her arms around my waist possessively since I love it around m
HAYDEN"Look, based on their report, Sonia was untouchable, but it doesn't mean that nobody has seen her do this kind of transaction around the realms. We'll start there," Roxanne sternly answered, making me slightly frown."And if they do, have you thought that Sonia might have already seen that coming and wrapped their necks around her palm? She's clever enough to pull strings up to this moment." With squinted eyes, I shared my argument while trying to read the lines that my wife wanted to take. "And from what the elders told us about her, she decided to fall deeply into misery and be a fallen nomad."“Like I said, let her fall, and I won't be suggesting this if I haven't thought that.” Roxanne firmly argued back her point, making me sigh.“And why we should do that when we know later will
HAYDENWaking up without unpleasant dreams or nightmares caused by fear was the finest thing that happened since I was messed up when I thought I had lost my wife. Fortunately, it did not occur. I awoke sooner than intended, and my smile spread wide when I noticed my wife sleeping comfortably beside me. I kissed her forehead before standing up and saw something on the table. The Escoffier rose. This solitary rose put my troubled thoughts to rest. I smiled as I smelled the rose scent, which made me think of Roxanne. I looked at her in her deep sleep before going to the restroom to freshen up."Hey June, you awake?" I made a quick mind link to my beta while I put my chosen clothes on.'Yes, Alpha, since I had never gotten a full chance to sleep.'
HAYDENTension. Silence. As soon as Minerva asked my wife back, I felt pressure radiating around the office. I was speechless, as I was not certain what to say due to the cautiousness I sensed around Roxanne like she was calculating the mood around the vampire elder.“Roxanne. Answer me. Tell me, where did you get them?” With firmness in Minerva's tone, she pressed to know, but my wife was holding her ground.“Tell me first what you know about them, and I will tell you where we got them.” Like Minerva's tone, Roxanne held her voice with firmness, causing the vampire elder to groan.“You…” She glared at my wife and was ready to attack her, but Yuna held her arm, making her stop.“Min, do not forg
HAYDENAfter a wonderful supper with the entire family, I excused myself and went to the office to send a special invitation to the elders who were still staying in the pack's town. After a bit, they called to let me know they'd be there at eight, giving me plenty of time to prepare for the meeting. I took my time to be decent, and my visitors arrived exactly on schedule."Alpha, the elders were already here." I heard Sue's voice after knocking on the bedroom door where I was waiting for my wife to finish her routine."Lead them to my office, Sue." With firmness in my tone, I commanded Sue."As you wish." With politeness in her tone, Sue respectfully bowed before leaving, and right on cue, my wife finally descended."You look marvelo
HAYDENI had been feeling a tug and an eerie vibe ever since my wife scared me to death. But this one was surely a warning sign of an incoming threat to the pack’s safety: the rogues. They were forcing themselves inside the pack’s perimeter, making my body jolt and narrowing my eyes on my wife.“Is this what you’ve been feeling ever since you wrapped the pack with your rose thorns?” I wondered when I realized what I had been feeling around the pack was not entirely from me. It was the deep connection I had with my wife, and it became more precise than before.“Luckily, we weren’t having sex when they decided to nudge around the border.” She winked, making me grin. This woman kept her dirty teasing for me.“Dammit, Babe, what else are you hi
HAYDENStop. I stopped in front of the private room designated for the family of the pack. I was about to hold the knob of the door, but my hand began to sweat. I looked at it closely, they were shaking badly, and my heartbeat was throbbing through my ears. I tried to calm down, but my body began to weaken and froze on my spot. I wasn't certain what was happening to me, but I couldn’t easily see what lay behind the door. I can’t, and I can’t settle down until I feel a pair of soothing hands placed at my back.“You’re still here…” I didn’t realize Yuna and the vampire elder, Minerva, were still in the pack if I didn’t feel their hands on my back.“Don’t be scared.” With an encouraging voice, Yuna smiled at me.“But what if I lost her again?”
HAYDENPanic. Worry. Frustration. Fear. Hope.Those emotions clashed as I drove at such speed that I kept glancing to my side. My wife. My wife wasn’t moving or giving us a hint of being alive. She was just there, sitting and barely breathing, making me click my tongue. I am frustrated.“Jean, check on her pulse.” With gritted teeth, I asked Jean a favor since I didn’t like what I was feeling. The turmoil of emotions was escalating and overlapping with each other, making me tighten my grip on the car’s steering wheel.“Alpha, I don’t like it. It's faint and slowing down.” Jean’s voice cracked as soon as she informed me of the pulse rate of my wife. DAMMIT!“Hold on,” I growled i
