ROXANNE
Days and nights quickly turned into weeks and still no budge. I couldn’t find the right time to escape this place because wherever I turned, I was either held occupied by patients, Henry, RJ, or everyone else in the town. They were all warming, and I didn’t want to grow attached to them since I still couldn’t accept that their likes did exist, or maybe it was just my escape from more complications. And speaking of complications, whenever I try to use anything to slip without being noticed, somebody else does. I either stumbled and dumped into the arms of the person who intimidated, scared, and lured me in, Hayden.
“Woah, you okay?" Hayden worriedly asked when I saw myself in her arms when I unexpectedly tripped on my footing. I’m not sure if it was just coincident or fate to always fall into her arms, although I’m not a cl
ROXANNEA few days from my escapade, gladly, Hayden didn’t lock me in our bedroom that we started sharing after what I did. She did nag me for an hour, telling me what I should or shouldn’t do now that I’m in their town. But she didn’t even let me be alone, particularly around the hospital, but I was glad that she didn’t let me be with someone I didn’t know. I was either with RJ, Henry, or Harriett, and the three of them began teaching me about werewolves and other creatures that I didn’t know existed in their world.“So again, brief us about the rankings here in the pack.” Being amused, Henry told me to repeat what I’ve learned so far about them. I sighed because they’ve been making sure that I remember everything from the last lesson that we tackled before.“The rankings in pack were
HAYDENSeeing Roxanne bonded with everyone, I was beyond astonished as her natural friendliness managed to capture some hearts of my pack. But I know some weren’t pleased with the attention that I was giving her, and it was my fault for not telling them who she was to me. But, I have my reason since Roxanne hasn’t accepted my proposal.“Hm, she’s back.” I sniffed the air inside the pack house since my wolf was jumping inside my head, making me stop working over my paperwork.As soon as I reached down the staircase, I suddenly fumed up. I saw my sister kissing my Luna.“HARRIETT!” I roared, catching their attention, and
ROXANNEAgreeing with Hayden’s proposal has two faces that I had anticipated; one, our morning routine shifted whenever Hayden woke up before me. She showered me with morning kisses and then tickled me. It was an adorable and heartwarming morning routine, which led my attraction to begin to change. But for now, I had to tone it down and keep it for a while. The second one was our lone patrolling routine around the town, where she taught me some basics about tracking and shadowing. It was a fun patrol, but something slipped and caused annoyance in my routine around the hospital.“Damn those bitches.” Dr. Ruby Jade Kim, aka RJ, annoyingly entered our shared office in the hospital after doing her morning rounds."I know, right?" I chuckled since she was annoyed on my behalf. But my
ROXANNEResting after dealing with tons of paperwork, Hayden and I were on the couch having a tea break when she pulled my hand and gently caressed them. It was a surprising gesture, but being her Luna, I began to easily sense if there was something different or bothering her and if it was something serious that she wanted to talk about."Speak what you wanted to tell me," I calmly told her as I pulled my hands away from her touch since I still couldn't control the grown feelings whenever she touched me."How did you know?" She innocently asked with a chuckle in her voice, which I found adorable."I'm not sure, but ever since I accepted being your Luna, I started to sense it. So, spill the tea." I shrugged my shoulders as I nudged her side to speak to me.
HAYDEN“What I have done...” I growled in frustration as I ran aimlessly around the pack’s perimeter to do my usual lone patrol, but my heart and mind were elsewhere.Restless. Annoyed. Temper. Every emotion has been clashing inside of me ever since I ran away from my lovely Luna. I just can’t face her after what I—we did—although we slept in the same room on the same bed, I do everything in my power to put up walls and distance myself from her.“…I hurt her, my ma-Luna…” I clicked my tongue in annoyance when I almost said the word that I loathed and growled as I released a punch over a certain thick oak tree. Surprisingly, I managed to break.The vibration was loud, making
HAYDENI never knew that my unusual Luna, Roxanne, would have an imperious side that could cower and bring shivers just through her intimidating voice. It could cut any unwanted ego on the way, and even I wasn't excused for it. I shivered but in a good way. As Roxanne stood tall, she emitted something I had never seen in any intimidating humans before—dangerously deadly—and I was fascinated.“Who are you to say that? You’re just a whore.”Just one word. Just one address that this omega used against my Luna clicked something worse in me, causing me to release my deep throaty growl. It was a warning growl, as I didn't mind that a few customers in the café heard them and looked my way. They were surprised to see me in the prese
ROXANNE“Shit.” I clicked my tongue in annoyance at whatever was at the end of my tail.I surely enjoyed my night walk routine whenever my shift ended late. The town’s street was quiet from a few driving cars and people walking on the sidewalk. It was a serene walk, not until I felt weird out from sensing somebody was following me. I was trying to catch a glimpse of whoever it was, but there was none. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of being followed.“I know I’m being watched because of Hayden, but this one wasn’t one of them.” I groaned as I tried to walk calmly, but I had to add some speed to my pace to shake the
ROXANNEThere it was. There was a rare smile that was engraved at the corner of my lips early in the morning when I started recalling a recent event that I had shared with Hayden last night. It was the sweet evening stroll that I had with Hayden.‘Are you stalking me?’‘Ahm…I…ahm…sorry…’‘None taken; just drop the malicious intention you’re sending me. I couldn’t concentrate on my job, so, please.’‘Malicious? What do you mean?’‘I don’t know—lust perhaps.’
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
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
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
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
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.
