ROSEIf I could have locked myself in after that horrible incident with Janet, I would have been the happiest person in the world. But, right now, I didn’t have such luxuries, so I had to do the only thing that made sense, and that was to carry on like nothing happened. "Hey, girl," someone called behind me.I looked around, and noticed I was the only one in the kitchen. I really hoped that it wasn’t Paige that was calling me. I didn’t want more troubles today. Taking a deep breath, I turned around slowly. Bianca, Sir Raven’s friend was standing in front of me. She looked so elegant in a pant suit. But, she was frowning, and that was directed at me.Oh, goddess..."Can’t you greet?" She snapped.I bowed lightly at her. "Greetings, miss," I mumbled."Look at me," she snapped.I blinked as I did as I was told. She looked behind her as though she wanted to be sure that no-one was coming, and I schooled quickly. "Is there something you need, miss?" I queried slowly.She shook her head l
CELINEI lay on my stomach with my leg raised up, as I tapped on the apple tablet I had. I was fishing for any news about Janet. It was important to curb her nonsense to the bud. If she had the courage to fight me, there was no telling what she might be able to do.A knock sounded on the door, causing me to groan as I shifted my gaze to the door. "Who is it?" I queried.There was a pause, and then, the door pulled open. I blinked as I jumped right on the bed, staring at Craig’s dark looks. He looked so good in worn-out jeans and a black t-shirt, but I wouldn’t tell him this."I believe you should have knocked?""I did," he responded smugly.I rolled my eyes in irritation. "Then, you could have waited for me to open the door for you before you stepped in like that. It’s common curtsey you know. I could have been... naked."He smirked. "That would be interesting to watch."I gave him a look. Was he really serious now? I watched as he placed his hands deep into the pocket of his pants. I
OAK'You may be rude to our mate, but I know that deep down you care about her,' William pointed out smugly.I rolled my eyes at that. Seriously, my wolf didn’t wish to shut up about Rose, and it was honestly getting on my last nerve. With a grunt, I rolled around on the bed, grabbing a hold of my phone. There were posts on the wolf-gram about how I had been able to assist my community since father died. It was strange to see me on the little screen in such a light. I knew that father didn’t care about these things at all. The community had never been relaxed to hype him up because he was a definition of a tyrant.'Forget about Rose for a minute, and let’s think about how we are going to handle father’s burial,' I mumbled.My wolf purred in response. 'That’s not my area, Oak,' he pointed out. I sighed. 'It’s best if you talk to Raven about it. He has been up to date with keeping up with the trainings of the pack and other stuffs.'I scoffed. "I don’t think so. What he does is sleep ar
RAVENI felt Oak’s gaze on me the moment the elders left, and that irritated me slightly. I couldn’t understand why he always acted like he was my dad. With a sigh, I blew the hair off my face. "Just say what you have to say. Your death stare is becoming boring."He took a step towards me, his hands deep into his pants. "You know I have a whole lot to say,"I turned to him then, staring at him like he was an idiot. "We are not kids anymore, Oak. Spit it out.""Well," he said easily as he looked around. There were a couple of maids hanging around, and the look he must have given them, caused them to scurry around like flies. That was just what they deserved since they couldn’t mind their business for once. Oak turned back to me, leaning slightly towards my direction. "What do you have to say about a mate?""Do we have one?" I asked back.Oak gave me a look.I walked softly to him. "To you, you’re mateless. Don’t forget this.""And, you?"I shrugged. "If you would just reject her, I mi
RAVENI gave Bianca a look. Since when did she make such silly comments? She simply smiled sheepishly and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her. "Ok, guys," I said easily, steering the conversation to something else. "Since you’ve been screaming that I should come here. What do you have for me?"Tim moved to my left, holding me by arm as he dragged me to the centre table where there was alcohol and rabbit skin on the table. I smirked inwardly as I watched it. It was one of my favourites, and life couldn’t be more better now."Well," he gestured to the delicious spread. "We are about to fist to our heart’s contents now. There would be no talk on business or pack duties. It’s just so much entertainment."I whistled. "Ok, that sounds good by me."With that, I released Tim’s hold from me, and sat at the edge of the table. At this level, it looked even better than it was before. I quickly helped myself by pouring the bottle of swish into a glass cup with a pinch of rum and vodka."Th
BIANCA"Sweetie," I whispered as I threw my hand across the bed, only for my hand to touch the pillow in full force. My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was an empty bed. Surely, Raven didn’t leave me here last night? I looked around slowly, and noticed that the only thing keeping me company this morning was emptiness.His scent was heavy here, but his presence was missing. How could he treat me like this?I was not one of the whores that he picked up to fuck from time to time. I was supposed to be his best friend, but he left me after sex like it didn’t even matter to him.My fingers grazed the bedspread, ignoring the fact that I was naked. I was so confused, and didn’t understand what was happening anymore.'You need to relax. I told you that you shouldn’t sleep with him till he is sane enough to tell you how he feels about you, but you didn’t listen to me,' my wolf said smugly.Glaring at the emptiness, I stepped down from the bed, and made my way to the empty bedro
OAK"Do six squats, boys!" I shouted.They groaned as they moved quickly to my bidding. There were about six boys in training, and Liam and Craig were right at the front. Unlike my father’s tenure, I wanted to do something different. It was important to make the omegas hands-on when it came to things like this, and I honestly didn’t wish to let go of that opportunity. Liam almost tripped on his right foot, causing Jake to hold him quickly."Don’t slack," I snapped.The men visibly paled at my words, but I didn’t care. It was important for them to be able to get professionally capable and not slack. We couldn’t afford to get hurt by the next intruders. We had to be in top form. I pulled at my vest, showing off my abs."Craig, show them how to jump through the loop as you squat," I mumbled.Craig nodded as he stepped forward, pulling at the black ropes at the top of the chairs. He positioned himself, like he was about to take a dip, and it meant one thing: he was leaning towards his wo
OAK"Raven, wait," I whispered, but he walked off, banging the door behind him.I sighed as I made my way to the bed, pulling off my shoe with a groan. I should have just shut up because this was such a sensitive topic for Raven but I couldn’t. It was annoying that he knew everything, and still found ways to support that man. That was so annoying.Well, I had more bigger issues to handle, and that was Paige. There would be no harm in trying once more. The whole thing was doing my head in, and this was the only option I had. I would have to go after Paige once more. If Rose wasn’t just acting like a jealous mate, I would find out soon enough. But now, I needed some rest. I crashed down on the bed, as I pulled at my clothes. The heat was intense, and the urge to shift into my wolf form was high.Damn!Just sleep it off...****The next morning, I woke up early, and had a slight breakfast before making my way out of the pack house. I had only one scooter, and that would make it easy for
ROSEIt has been a long day, but I was restless. It just had to do with Oak. Yes, he treated me like crap just because I spoke against Paige, but he was just hopeful he was the father of the fake kid she was carrying. It was foolishness, and I wish there was a way to have more evidence that Paige was not pregnant. It would save Oak from so much regret in the future.'Why are you thinking about him now?' My wolf teased.I rolled my eyes at her. 'He is still my mate, wolf,' I pointed out.She purred. 'So, you’re not in love with him?'I blinked slightly taken aback by her words. Werewolves were only taught to submit themselves completely to their mates. I have never heard of love or lust. Wait, maybe what I had with Raven could be termed as lust, because though I didn’t want him to touch me anymore, till he learnt to respect me, I couldn’t stop myself from feeling so intense for him.But, Oak was different. He didn’t break the bond, but he had rejected me because he felt betrayed, and n
OAKSeated in the car, I drummed my fingers on the wheel in anger. That had been close, but thankfully, Paige’s phone rang at the same time with mine. Luckily, we had the same ringtone, so it was easier for me to sneak out of there undetected.Now, I was watching her step out of the hospital like she did the most honourable task. She even had the guts to rub the fake stomach. I wasn’t sure that I had seen anyone more fake that this bitch in my whole life.Paige finally stepped into her car, and within minutes, she was driving out of the parking lot. I waited for her to move a safe distance, before putting my car in action. There was a lot of space between both cars. But when she got to the bridge, something in me got more impatient and I drove so fast, cornering her on the route. She pulled back a bit, but there was no place to go, so sh she just left the engine running. I did same and stepped out, and from what I could see, her eyes widened in shock behind the windscreen. I watched
OAK'Craig, did you get any information on Paige.' I inquired through the mind-link.I didn’t hear a word at first, and then, he seemed to whisper as he said, 'She hasn’t left her room, and it’s hard to figure out anyone who has any information concerning her. Everything is just so hush when it comes to her, and I have no idea why that is,' he explained.I frowned lightly. 'Keep pushing, Craig. I don’t wish to hear any excuses. This is about the safety of the pack, and you’re the only one that I can trust with this, so don’t fail me, ok?''Yes, sir,' he said at once.I broke the connection as I stared at my laptop. There was tracker showing in there which would enable to know where Paige was at all times, but like Craig said, she had not left the house since the time at the hospital. She had been complaining that her stomach was pretty bad, but I had no idea if it was something else this time. I just hope I found out the truth.With a sigh, I stepped away from the table and made my wa
CELINEWithout thinking, I grabbed a hold of Janet, flinging her to the side. She hit the nearest tree with a thud, and I watched, satisfied as she slid down the length of the ground."Stay down," I snapped, and easily grabbed a hold of Bianca’s hand as I led her into the restaurant.Seriously, what was I thinking letting Janet go an inch near Raven. I didn’t think she was such a psycho. But, I wish I had known just how crazy she could be."Let’s sit here," Bianca grumbled.I could tell from her voice that she was really angry, and I hoped she would calm down for just a bit. It made me nervous when things never go the way that I planned. I only wanted the best for my brothers, but it was costing me a lot. These insults might not be ending anytime soon, but I have to do something I placed my bag on the table first, before sitting down on the cream booth. The waiter came over, and he looked slightly flustered as he poised a pen on paper. I signalled for him to come back, and we would t
CELINEI shifted slightly on my left foot. Oak was still looking at me, expecting some sort of answer, but I honestly didn’t know what to tell him. "You don’t have an answer, do you?" He taunted mercilessly. "Please, kindly leave my room, I have other things doing," he grumbled as he turned away from me.I groaned inwardly. "You don’t need to overreact like I want to harm her or something. There is seriously something that I need to clear with her, and it has to do with something I heard when I was in the neighbouring pack. It’s important, Oak," I grumbled.He shrugged elegantly as he sat down on the bed, grabbing a hold of the silver plate I had not seen before, and then, proceeded to eat the meat in it. "You need to meet Raven for it then since it’s so important. She is his friend and not mine," he stated easily.Gosh!This was a waste of time. I glared at Oak, before turning away from him angrily. "Thanks for not helping me."He hummed in response and that stung as hell, but I tri
CELINEI waited for a bit to be sure he wouldn’t come back, and then, slowly sneaked into Raven’s room. The dark space was making it difficult for me to see, but thankfully the phone light glistened in the dark. I seriously don’t understand why Raven loved dark furniture so much. It was a pain in the ass most of the time, and I just didn’t like it at all.Well, there was no time to figure out my preference. I made my way through the dark, careful not to bump my leg on some things. The moment I got to the phone, I looked back quickly to be sure that no-one was there, and I saw nothing amiss.The last call was right on display despite the phone being locked, and I caught the name, Bianca. Who the hell was Bianca?Wait, that was Raven’s friend. Were they having a tiff or something? It was weird brother spoke to her that way, except they were sleeping with each other or something. Yes, that was probably it."What are you doing here?"The...My hands shook, and I moved slightly forward in
