Luna, my mother, became so emotional that she couldn't stop herself from arching her arms at mine. Whenever I saw her, she looked at me with tears, like she was afraid I might disappear from her sight. She kept whispering how delighted she was to find me alive.“Honey, where's Alpha Gunner?” She asked with curiosity. She roamed her eyes around, and we didn't even see the Alpha King with us. “We need to eat,” she added, while there was a frown on her face.“He might be with the Alpha,” I answered, sounding hesitant to call my father Dad because of his position in the pack. I was frightened to make the wrong move, as I didn't know how to address him.Aside from that, my father seemed heartless and brutal, especially because of his tattoos. A part of me felt amazed because he endured how to get inked in his neck, but there was another part of me cringing at how painful it was.Luna stopped doing the chores and chuckled as she rushed towards me. My eyes were locked in her direction becaus
“What do you mean, Alpha?” I asked, especially when he mentioned what he had known was only limited. He was right, what he knew was only his point of view, and not his friend.“I don't know his reason but he's my best friend. I trust him so much that I can't accept the fact he betrayed my trust. All my life, I don't have anyone I could trust but he proved to me he was different. We're closed since we're a child yet he did it to me.” he replied. His eyes sparkled, making me realize how he was controlling to hide the sadness he felt. I was stunned, by seeing how he became emotional. I felt bad for my father because the only man, whom he thought he could trust betrayed him. He might still hurt but he didn't show it. As the Alpha King, he must always act dominantly, like he was a man who didn't feel hurt or pain.“A-Alpha...” I stammered because we both experienced the same occurrence in our lives. “Being away from my daughter is the most traumatic event I have experienced in my life es
My father's expression as he found out about Alice made me curious. He seemed severe and tried to hide some important information about Alice. I didn't know what he knew, but I got a feeling I needed to know what he knew about her.As I stared out from the window, I looked at how the pack armies talked with my father as he assigned who would roam around the boarders. I was stunned when he glanced at me, like he knew I had been looking at him for so long.‘Why are you interested in me? Ashianna, there's nothing special about your lovely, bitchy wolf.’ It was Alice who startled me as she talked to me in my head.‘Alice, tell me. Why did my father react that way? I can't understand. Are you truly my wolf? Why you're different than the other.’My heart skipped as I talked to Alice with conviction. I would love to know about her, but she was aloof to me. However, she was doing her best to protect me for as long as she could. Perhaps I was one of the lucky werewolves to have a wolf like her
“Are they fine?” Gunner sounded worried, so I waved my hand in front of his face and chuckled awkwardly. Seeing how he liked to act with anxiety and how he was uneasy about my babies made my heart clench once again.“I heard it's natural when the babies continue kicking in my stomach. Mom says they are a mixed breed of Lycans and an Alpha; I need to prepare myself to give birth all of a sudden.” I whispered those words. Gunner nodded his head, like he understood my situation. He pursed his lips before he stunned me as he caressed my big belly.I felt grateful that he was always with me. He was the one who helped me whenever I craved something and hushed me whenever I was emotional. He was the man who always stayed by my side, even though I didn't ask him to do it. However, I was scared that he might hope for something in return, and I wasn't prepared to settle down with him.Since I would become a mother, I felt like I was obligated to ensure the safety of my twins first before having
“Atticus!” My father screamed at the top of his lungs; his veins almost popped out as Atticus continued running away from me while laughing at him. His tone was filled with distress, but he patiently stopped until Atticus stopped running.“You little brat! I told you to stop running or else you would slip again.” He scolded, which made Atticus cross his arms over his chest with amusement, as if my father were only playing with him.I heard Luna giggle, watching how my father frowned at his grandson, who was provoking him to get mad. She winked at me and raised her hand as she attempted to cover her mouth.“Atticus is jolly. He's different than Kairo,” she commented.I didn't say anything because she was right. Atticus was cheerful and possessed my hair colour, whereas Kairo was dissimilar. If Atticus liked teasing, Kairo was the silent type. My eyes glanced at him, and I noticed he was reading some of his books again.“See? Kairo has a vibe who likes to kill.” Luna added.“Mom, Kairo
Luna flushed instantly as she figured out how Kairo heard my father complaining. Her eyes flickered and she smacked her forehead in shame, while my father's forehead creased with disbelief.Atticus gasped, he looked in my direction as if he understood why his grandmother overreacted. He plastered a grin on his lips, which made me realise he was about to tease Kairo again.“How did you hear them? Kairo, you're lying. Every room we have here in the pack house is soundproof, which means you can't listen to their conversation. You're making stories again.” Atticus playfully rebutted. Kairo groaned and coldly turned his attention to his twin brother before he waved the book in his hand. I could hardly breathe, concluding they were ready to fight again.“Grandma reacted like I was telling the truth. Atticus, I don't need to prove you because I'm already telling the facts. You're only jealous because you don't have the ability I have.” Kairo said, and Atticus' expression turned sour, like h
"What are you talking about? Of course we have a father!" Kairo exclaimed, reacting that Atticus words were too ridiculous. I noticed he seemed annoyed because of his twin brother, but he maintained his calm and avoided scolding him.“If we have, where is he? He’s not even been with us since Mom gave birth to us! Are we adopted? I heard my friend berating because our father doesn’t love us!” Atticus burst into tears, causing tremendous pain and impact in my chest.I felt terrible because I thought they were only happy with me without their father, but it seemed they were only acting, didn’t want me to get hurt. Deep inside their hearts, Atticus and Kairo wanted to meet him, like normal children in our community.I recalled the first time they asked me about King Edward, and I was taken aback. I would love to tell them everything, but it was me who couldn’t move forward from the pain. My eyes glistened in tears, and I quickly hid from the corner so they wouldn’t see I was eavesdropping
“Of course, you two are my sons!” I exclaimed in joy, but Atticus seemed to don’t believe what I said to him. He deeply breathed out before he stared at Kairo, who had his own world while reading his book.“If we are, then where is our dad? Are you a single mother? Or Dad leaves us because he doesn’t want to be with us.” Atticus replied in a snap.I choked on my saliva as I already guessed what he would ask back. His eyes were focused on me, like he wanted me to answer his question on the spot, or perhaps he was trying to trick me into thinking that I didn’t have the chance to lie because he was attentive to me. I didn’t know what I would say to them, especially when I already told them that we shouldn’t lie to anyone.“Oh, Dad doesn’t want us? What’s wrong with us that he doesn’t want to be with his smart kids?” He added that he sounded offended and sad simultaneously."Atticus, stop assuming answers unless you hear them directly from our mother. She’s been trying to think of what sh
