R0SE"Let’s talk about all these later?" I swallowed hard as I looked a Celine. She was seriously annoyed with me, and I had no idea what I could do. She had looked so cold before she knew who I was, and now...She eyed me softly. "I want to talk it about it now, Raven. This thing made me an orphan and I just can’t ignore it. What is she doing here? She has to leave at once," she said angrily.I swallowed the lump in my throat.Raven snapped his fingers at my direction. "She can’t leave.""What? What do you mean she can’t leave?"Just like that she was moving close to where I was as she held my hand I froze in shock mid-steps when the wind carried this stranger’s voice to me and his deep voice registered in my head. Did he just call me “Mine” or maybe I was beginning to hear things?I risked a glance over my shoulder to see if there was anyone there, but there wasn’t. My eyes went back to his, and he was still staring at me, so pointedly as if he could see to my soul.Who was this st
OAKThe only thing I know is love hurts.Drew watched the situation closely.Everything was wrong. He knew he could barely stand too, but it didn’t stop him from issuing threats. He gulped as he watched Elena bleed. The fucking bastard had hurt her. All Drew thought of was hurting Jared just as hard."Stand back!" Jared cried.Drew glared at him as he moved slightly closer to where Jared was standing. "Shut it! You have some nerve to pull this stunt. Even if you escape me, you won’t be able to escape the police that would gun you down the moment you leave this place.He watched as Jared moved to the other side of the Elena, and in one move he pulled her neck into a chokehold as he held a gun against her temple."Stop this nonsense!" Drew snapped.Jared smiled then like a Cheshire Cat. "You’re the one who is doing a lot of nonsense. You wish to make my life a living hell, but you definitely can’t do that. If you want this bitch to walk out of here alive, then, you would do as I say.""
CELINEI sat down at the small table in my room as I drummed my fingers anxiously on the table. The whole room was too pink, but it was exactly right at the same time. If not for the colours, I would have gone crazy since I stepped into the pack.Flipping my hair to the side, I took a sip of my pink tea, and waited patiently for Janet to show up. She never arrived on time at any meeting, and I really hoped she would change when I told her my plan."Miss, I was told by one of the guards that Miss Janet is here to see you," she said softly.I flicked my wrists. "Send her in."I could hear the maid move out, but I wasn’t paying much attention. A few minutes passed and Janet’s sunscreen fragrance filled the air. I frowned lightly. Hopefully, she would put more efforts in her cream when we finished our conversation."Oh, moon goddess! Look at you!" She cried softly.I chuckled softly. "I’m still the same way you left me.""Liar," she said softly as she hugged me from behind. I smirked sof
CELINERubbing my hands with the moisturiser, I climbed my bed and held onto my stuffed bunny. My brothers hadn’t come down to dinner like I had expected, but I knew that one of them would be knocking on my door soon enough. I just needed to be patient.Just like that, I heard a brisk knock on the door. I smiled calmly as I leaned against the headboard. "Who is it?" I queried calmly.There was a pause, and then, "It’s Raven, your bother," he mumbled unnecessarily."Come in," I mumbled.He did as he was told, and I noticed he had opened the top of his shirt. He looked painfully exhausted, but still, he was looking at me calmly."You shouldn’t leave your door open, you know. With what happened earlier in the day, I don’t want to take any risks where my family is concerned."I shrugged. "I can take care of myself, brother," I mumbled softly."I didn’t think I put it up for discussion, Celine," he said tersely.What could I say to this?I said nothing as I held the bunny even more, to g
I pulled my hair up as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked good in my pink top and cream coloured mini-skirt, and that made me feel so good. There was nothing more than I needed but for things to spread into such good places. "Miss," Bonet mumbled as she stepped into the room. I angled my face to look at her. "What is it?" "Miss Janet has arrived," she said simply. I turned back to the mirror. "Make her comfortable, and also alert my brother, Raven about it. I’m sure he would love to join us. Is Oak home?" "No, miss," she said softly. I waved her off, as I grabbed a hold of my gold earrings, sliding them effortlessly in my ears. This time, the seduction must work and my brothers must be able to stay away from Janet, no matter what. That is the only thing that I need right now. I walked out of the room, and made my way to the dining where Janet was already seated. There was no sign of Raven, and I frowned. "You look great," she said softly. I smiled tightly at her
CELINE"Are you dead?" I snapped as I pulled her to the other side of the hall.Rose stared up at me in shock. "I didn’t do anything wrong. I was told to deliver this things to Sir Raven, and that is what I was doing. Why do you have to blame me for everything when I’m not even wrong?"I gave her a look. "Did you just talk back to me?"She looked away from me, and then I smirked feeling happy that she at least understood that she couldn’t just talk back at me and get away with it."I’m sorry. I just don’t know how to tell you that I didn’t mean anything. I don’t wish to make things more messy for me. Please, try to understand that I have nothing to do with Sir."I pulled my hand back as I folded my hands across my chest, observing her calmly. "Whatever! Just stay away from my brother, understand?"I sighed as I made my way out of there to my room. I was able to breathe more calmly now that I was out of there. I couldn’t even go back to Raven’s room to see how things are going. Well, J
CELINEI shook my head lightly as I looked at Oak, trying hard not to make my cheeks flame. "What are you saying, bro? If she is here, why would I hide her? She told me she was going back to her home," I said evenly as I held his hand.His gaze turned towards the wardrobe once more, but he allowed me to take him back to the front of the bed. Oak shrugged my hand off when we got to the door."I’m sorry, but I don’t like her.""You don’t like Janet?" I asked in disbelief.He hummed in response. "But, you know fully well that we have been friends for so many years, so what made you think in this direction? I don’t really understand anything, love," I said tersely.He shrugged. "That doesn’t change the fact that she has eyes on Raven. I don’t like that."I blinked as I pulled at my fingers. "What... Jeez! You really have a crazy imagination. Janet doesn’t want anything to do with Raven. If she did, she would have told me. Look, she is one of the sweetest friends I have ever had, and I do
ROSEI walked into the bathroom, dragging the buckets of water to have my shower. To be honest, I was so fucking exhausted and I wanted to jump into bed and sleep, but I had no idea how I was going to do that with my body feeling so clammyWith a sigh, I proceeded to lather my body with soap. I may be part-wolf, but I didn’t joke with my hygiene one bit. Finally done, I stepped out as I remembered the way Celine had treated me this night. She had been so mean."I don’t know what is wrong with that woman," I mumbled to myself.My wolf whined sleepily. 'Don’t nag right now. I don’t think I’m ready to give you solace. I just want to sleep.'I rolled my eyes at that. 'You can sleep if you want,' I grumbled, as I pulled the wrapper from the rail wrapping it around me.The sound of someone knocking at my door greeted my tears once more. What the hell? Didn’t I just finish all my tasks? Why couldn’t these people just leave me alone for a minute? Whoever was behind the door kept hitting the
ROSEI turned towards the left, ignoring the mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. I just couldn’t sleep, and it was still so late. The image of the Oak with Paige was still in my head, and I just couldn’t sleep.Why?I sat up as I glared at the dark. "Why did you have to do this to me, Oak? If you knew you were serious about another woman, you shouldn’t have acted like you cared about me. You shouldn’t have used me for a joke. I’m a fucking human, and not an an animal!" I cried out.My fingers slid over my eyes as I tried hard to control the pain that I was feeling. It felt like my heart was about to come out of my chest, and there was nothing I could do to help myself.'I wish I could shift,' I whispered.I felt the stirrings of my wolf at that moment. 'We could do that. ''How?' I mumbled through the mind-link.She purred. 'If we can shift in this room, then, it would be nice. We don’t need to go out for it, and we would be careful not to make too much noise.'My eyes moved around the roo
PEACH"Oak!" I called out softly, but he didn’t look at me once.Instead, he walked out of me. I stared at his broad back in anger. Since I had returned, he had changed for the worse. There was no form of affection on his face when he looked at me. It only seemed like he was annoyed by me, and that made feel more irritated.This was not the man that I had been dating before we had a fight. I was the one who walked out on us, but still, he should be glad I was back. Was it because of that damn maid that he was so upset? It didn’t make any sense since she was not he type of women he looked at twice.'I don’t you have any right to be upset though since you’re deceiving him,' my wolf, Dolly mumbled softly.1 glared at the empty dining in rage. 'I have told you to stay out of my business, right? I have to be the Luna of this pack, and Oak is going to be my ticket to achieve my dreams. I’m not deceiving him, I’m only making sure that we have exactly what we want together.'She said nothing,
OAKIt felt like nothing was in my power. Celine was smiling like a cat as she informed every one of the good news. I felt like it was a death sentence. The worst was that, I couldn’t do anything to stop what was happening. I could only watch like I was a mute spectator."Don’t they make such a beautiful pair?" Celine was saying happily.At that moment, I shifted my gaze to Rose. She said nothing in response to the question Celine had asked. But, her face looked blank. Maybe, she didn’t feel anything ;like I had assumed at first."Whoa! I’m your brother, but you didn’t bother to tell me anything about this." Raven whined.I smiled stiffly at that. "It just happened so fast, Raven," I grumbled.He hummed in response as he du into his meal. "That is good."I wondered if he really thought that it was nice. He always wanted to be the Alpha of the pack, and now, I have a woman before him, it might be too much to handle. Well, there was nothing that I could do about it now."You may leave,"
ROSE"Guys, please assemble around right now," Miss Taylor pleaded the moment she stepped into the kitchen.I stopped the orange and calmly moved to the front of the shelf, were other maids were also gathered around. I honestly hoped that I wasn’t in trouble again. I slid back even more, swallowing my saliva.Miss Taylor looked stern as always, and her hands were folded behind her back as she observed us diligently. "Are we all here?"Bella ran quickly from the storage room behind the kitchen, apologising for her lateness. Miss Taylor glared at her in irritation, but she didn’t say anything else to her. She instead focused her attention on us, her eyes skimming through our faces."Miss Celine informed me that the family would be having dinner at 8pm. This wouldn’t be a normal dinner because they are receiving an important guest. This guest would end up being a very important family member in the nearest future." She paused, as she made her way to me. "Due to the way we lost our Alpha,
OAK"Sir, I really hope you put this across to Sir Raven. It’s very important that we figure out how to get one of you to ascend the Alpha throne since you both do not what to go the old fashioned way," Elder Caleb said as he adjusted his tie.I grunted simply as I stepped out of the room. I could feel his gaze on me, but I didn’t turn to look at him. Since my talk with Paige, I have been down, and just didn’t wish to talk to anyone or listen to their unnecessary comments. It would only make me more anxious, and I just didn’t want that. Back in the pack house, it was a bit quiet, save for a couple of maids going around. The urge to see Rose was too much. But, I subdued. I was not worth being close to her after hurting her so badly. I should have been a better person to her, but I wasn’t. I hurt the person that I should have cared for. I Hurt the person I should have valued.A shiver rocked through me as I walked towards the dining are to get some of the fruits on it, only to see Ros
OAK*Thirty minutes ago*I stared at nurse Mitch in shock. There should be an error or something, but when I looked at this, I saw nothing but Paige’s face stuck in the ID card. She’s registered here. The fuck?"Paige Star registered in our hospital, and she was...""What did she come to do?" I snapped impatiently.The nurse shook her head in response. "I have no idea. I believe the doctor can clarify things better with you. Though, like I said earlier, this is against protocol. I don’t want to loose my job."I dug my hands in my pocket and slapped some wads of cash on the table. She looked around in shock before looking back at my hand. "Now, you’ve seen the money. Are you willing to tell me all that I need to know about Paige Star?"She quickly took the money and placed it in the first drawer. "I can help you meet the doctor. He was the one who treated her throughout her time here.""Thank you."I took a deep breath as I waited for her to inform him about my presence. I’m sure Paige
CELINEI slid the car into the small space that was left between an ambulance and another blue car at the hospital’s parking lot, only for me to feel the wind of a headache brewing. I sighed as I looked at the overgrown trees in front of me. This hospital was farther than my pack because of what I wished to achieve.Janet had walked out of the house two days ago, looking so miserable, so it was time to make her sex escapades with Raven to bear some fruit, though, I had no idea how I was going to achieve that. But, a fake pregnancy test could be the only thing that could make this work.I stepped out of the car, as I dialled Janet’s number once more, hoping that she would be pick the call this time, but nothing of that sort happened. In frustration, I moved towards the hospital building, only for my eyes to single out Oak and Paige in front of the hospital. They were talking profusely, and I could see the anguish in Oak’s eyes.I gasped as I hid at the back of a white SUV, peering at
OAKIt’s been two days since Paige told me she was carrying my child, and I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even go on my pack duties out of stress. To me, everything was turning on its head, and I could not do anything to stop it. It was the worst experience ever, and I just wanted to hit something so hard.How could I be so reckless?Yes, I had cared for her so much, and we had being in an on and off relationship, but it was no excuse. I had always known that I would find my mate, and be happy! This was just awful!I sat up on the bed, and stared at my reflection at the mirror on the wall. I looked like hell. I felt like hell. The brown knitted facial hair made me want to puke. This was horrible. I was the most disgusting soul in the world.'We have a mate, and then, another woman has our baby,' William whined like I didn’t realise it the first time.I rolled out of bed, staring at my room. It was a fucking mess. No-one had come in here, and Raven must be having a time of his life becaus
JANETMy fingers trailed Raven’s chest hair like I had all day. This was so fulfilling, and I loved the way it made me feel. I couldn’t believe that Raven was letting me do all these. The last time, he had been upset about something, then afterwards, he’d called me to come over, and I shouldn’t overthink anything he had said. If that wasn’t the sweetest thing someone had told me, then, I had no idea what else was.I pulled my head slightly up, and I noticed his eyes were closed. So cute... He was my future husband, and I could tell he was used to me because of the way he touched me these days. It was so fierce and hot, and his brows were always knitted in concentration like he wanted to learn every curve of my body.The thought made me smile, and I buried my face once more in his body. Celine’s idea of ow to talk to Raven about Rose came to my mind, and I smiled sneakily at it. But, I would have to test the waters first.Moving up slowly, I leaned on my elbows as I played with Raven’s
