In anger and frustration, Roman went to the backyard. He had told Dianne that he wanted to get food because he was hungry, but that was a lie.He stood out there receiving the fresh air when his mind went back to when he was in the car with Adrianna. How he was so tempted by the lips that he couldn't help but kiss her senselessly.Also, the time at the hotel, the spark in her eyes, and her soft lips calling to him. He was more comfortable and enthralled by Adrianna than Dianne. That's not how it was before Dianne went missing.He used to adore the girl, and love her with everything in him. He wonders what has changed now. Why does he seem like he is more interested in Adrianna than Dianne, especially after the kiss?What's worse was how he had slept with his wife and envisioned someone else as he fucked her. What was wrong with him?Roman ran his finger through his hair in frustration.Did his wolf cause all this? Since he met Adrianna, his wolf kept making the mistake of calling Adri
Adrianna stayed awake, feeling restless and disturbed. Whenever she closes her eyes to sleep, she keeps having horrible dreams about Dianne. How she was being chased by the lady. She could jump up immediately from her sleep.The nightmare she had last was more like what had happened back in the cell when Dianne kept coming to taunt her. She may be a fighter, but when it came to a werewolf, she wasn't that strong to attack. Remembering what Luna Brenda said to her made her realize that she did need someone important to side with her, else she would be thrown into the dungeon for what she didn't do again.Dianne kept appearing in her dreams, warning her to stay clear of her property.The last dream she had before she decided to stay up until morning was when Dianne kept chasing her with a knife, calling her a homewrecker. She went left, and Dianne chased her away from there. She went right, the same thing happened, so she was confused about where to go and instead fell into a dark hole.
Luna Brenda kept walking around until she found herself in the kitchen“Fredrick, have you seen a lady who looks exactly like the Luna around,” she asked the man who was busy cooking“Good morning, my queen, yes, I did. I actually thought it was the Luna until she told me that she was not. Then I remembered that some looking like the Luna had come into the pack house some time ago”“Okay, can you tell me where she went?” Luna Brenda asked.She was tired of his explanation, after all, and that wasn't what she had come here for.“She went towards the backyard” he replied, pointing to the door that leads to the backyardLuna Brenda left immediately, going straight to the backyard.It didn't take long, she met the ground caressing the flowers with a bright smile on her face. She looked so beautiful in her crop top and shorts that Luna Brenda wished she had birthed such beauty.Last night, she said she was the goddess, but she could see the goddess clearly in front of her.“Adrianna” she c
Not too far away from the trio, there was a naughty girl peeping to see what was going on. Her mouth was wide open as she wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. Not only was Luna Brenda laughing happily, but Roman was also chasing her like she was his girlfriend that he could play around with.She would definitely report this to the original Dianne. Adrianna has plans of remaining in this house, and it is none other than to take Dianne's husband from her.She quickly made her way to Dianne's room and entered. The girl was still sleeping, and Lisa almost slapped her face into the pillow. How dare she sleep while someone else was taking her husband away from her.“Dianne!” she yelled in anger as She moved closer to the girl on the bed“Dianne, get your ass up!” She barked, and Dianne, in shock, jumped out of bed.“What is wrong with you!” Dianne yelled, “You almost gave me a heart attack!”“If you go out there, you would definitely have a heart attack!” Lisa yelled back.“Why
Luna Brenda kept staring at Adrianna. She didn't know if she should say what she wanted. She had gotten really used to Adrianna's company that she didn't want the lady to leave her but she can't stop her"Can you tell me before you leave then?" The Luna asked Adrianna with a pitiful face. She had gotten to love the girl so much that she didn't want her to leave her anymore."Oh sure, I will," Adrianna smiled. "You have become my mother here in this place. There is no way I'll leave without telling you"Adrianna finally had the courage to ask Luna Brenda after a while"Do you think Roman really knows who my father is?" She turned to stare at the woman with hope-filled eyesAdrianna had thought that if truly Roman knew her father, then she would not escape. But she was tired of searching. If there was someone that knows something about her father, she would like to know about the personLuna Brenda shook her head,"All Roman told me was that there was indeed someone who had claimed to b
"Dianne, what was that about? Why did you have to do that to Adrianna without hearing the whole story?" Roman asked immediately as he stepped into the room. He was so mad at her but he didn't want to scold her in the presence of Adrianna"I'm sorry. I was scared, Roman" Dianne murmured. She had been thinking of what to say to cover up the nonsense she had done.Roman looked at her, She had changed back to the meek and gentle Dianne that he married. He wondered what had happened to her a while agoThey had been married for quite a while before she disappeared so he knew her character. Dianne was too quiet to raise her hand at someone. He was beginning to suspect the girl."What are you scared of?" Roman asked as he pulled her to himself. He made her sit on his lap"Tell me, what's making you scared?"Dianne stared at Roman before bursting into tears,"I hate it, Roman. I hate that you still talk to her. I told you she was the one who had sent the crescent pack to attack and kidnap me.
Adrianna raised her brows. Thank goodness Mr. Fredrick had left, she was already about to put the man in trouble and all she was trying to do was catch some fun"It's nothing, son. Adrianna and I were just having fun""Really? Eloping with the head cook in the house doesn't sound like a joke but since mother-in-law said it, we would believe it" Dianne said before turning to Roman"Right, darling?" She asked and Roman nodded slowly but deep down he was in thoughtsHe suspected Adrianna wasn't only talking about Mr. Fredrick because of his food. She must be in love with the man else why would she want to elope with him?What he thought about that day, was it coming to pass? He has actually suspected Adrianna since she said she would like to meet the cook. What was her business with him?That day when she complimented his food, he had thought that Adrianna would go and meet him to teach her how to cook and in the process fall in love with the man and then elope with him.Things like that
“You better tell me you have a plan,” Lisa said to Dianne the moment she entered the room with Dianne behind her.She had dropped her food as well. She was so tempted to speak at the table, but there was one person she feared. It wasn't Roman, but the Luna. She may be quiet, but she has heard a lot about her. Dianne doesn't know her much, but she does. Her mother had told her a lot, Luna Brenda wasn't someone to joke with.But still, Lisa had a deep frown on her face, she was fed up with Adrianna and her stubborn attitude. The girl was becoming a bone in the throat, and she couldn't wait for Dianne to lead the way, so she could vanish already.Since she came into the pack house, no one has ever spoken to Dianne rudely before, not even Luna Brenda. They all respected her because she was the future Luna of the pack.But since Adrianna came, it was from one quarrel to another. The girl has the guts to speak back at her like she was dragging position with Dianne. Because they looked simil
“You did what?”Asher sighed. His Beta’s jaws was currently hanging off the floor. He had known Victor would strongly oppose, known also that Elise was one of the few creatures on this earth that managed to unnerve the life out of him. The woman creeps Asher out too, and once, maybe he’d liked the dangerous and sexy type. But he was literally a married man now and the only reason Elise would be coming to the pack was so that she can help find Kihara.“You invited her here? Are you mad?” Victor continued loudly.“Keep your voice down okay,” Asher hushed. “You know Victor, that we’ve been doing this ourselves for a while and failing. We need help, and she’s the best help we can get.”Victor shook his head, the look of horror on his face still not clearing. “Of course she’s the best Asher, she’s a fucking bounty hunter, hired killer, assassin,” Victor counted on his fingers, his eyes seemingly widening each time he dropped a finger. “And a fucking were-snake Asher, let’s not forget about
Twilight pack had gradually declined to a somber graveyard in the absence of it’s Luna. The halls bleak and lacking of color, every wolf felt the same bleakness inside of them, as though an emptiness had been carved in their hearts. More cruel was that they had no idea what to do. To mourn their Luna? For if she was dead, then that was the right thing to do. Or to hope? To dare look up to the moon and hope that she was still alive and that one day she would be returned? It did not seem likely, but it was a possibility they were willing to entertain. For their alpha, he needed it, needed that hope. That was all he ran on.Hunting down Sebastian had never become more primary than now. Asher has men combing every nook and cranny of this town. He was sure that one day, he would hit the jackpot and one of those searches would unlock the villains hiding place. He did not need to search for long however, it seemed that the villain was done hiding.It was early morning when it happened. Asher
“Please,” The prisoner begged, “You don’t have to do this.”Asher’s eyes burned. Why could he not do this? His mate was stolen from him, why did he not deserve to at least transfer his rage to this man who had helped make it happen.“I’ll talk, anything you want, I promise.” The whimpered, his voice pitchy and breathy.Asher paused in his steps. “Then start talking, and fast.”The man nodded furiously, his body visibly deflating with relief. “Where is Sebastian?” Asher asked coolly, the hammer hanging casually by his side.The fear was back in the man’s eyes. He looked up at Asher, his gaze with utter defeat, as he shook his head,“No?” Asher’s eyebrows twitched with impatience.“I really don’t know. I swear.” The man whimpered, voice so shaky it was barely comprehensible.“If you don’t know, then you’re not at all useful to me.” Asher growled lowly.The man fell to his knees. “We were hired randomly. They promised to take care of our families if we died for this, kill them if we didn
TRIGGER WARNING: Themes of torture mentioned below.)Brody found him first, in the thicket where he had chosen to bleed out his feelings. He felt like a broken man and no words needed saying as Brody looked over Asher. It was obvious that he’d not found Kihara, that he had failed in protecting his mate and now she was in the hands of a moon cursed wolf.“Come on Alpha, we’ll find her another day.” Brody said. Just not today, Asher thought. How was it acceptable that he came here with his mate and has to leave without her? How is it acceptable that she remains in that man’s lair, dead or alive for even a day?Brody helped Asher up and walked him back the way he’d come, until they broke out of the woods and unto the road. Asher’s leg was still bleeding but not as profusely as earlier and the pain of the wolf’s bane was also fading. Asher missed that pain, it was more merciful than the clenching and unclenching of his heart. This ache and this utter feeling of emptiness that was evading
Asher felt it rather than saw, from the distance of a still forming mate bond, his mate’s distress. He looked up, and that was when he saw the man that had introduced himself as Ajax with his mate. He’d knocked Kihara out and now she lay cold and unconscious in his arms. A growl tore through the air and earth. Asher’s eyes shivered with emotion, fear and anger. Ajax looked over his shoulders at him, and for once, that unsmiling, unfeeling face dissolved with a smile. He’d won.Without time to waste, and with Kihara in his arms, Ajax ran off the roads and into the mountains. His mate weighed nothing in his arms, and was hardly an inconvenience, or deterrent to his speed. Asher screamed with fury, the panic traveling up his throat, clogging his airways. The men charged at him and he swiped and stabbed at every single one of them, not holding back his strengths. He needed to get to Kihara; the only thought that rang loud in his head. He couldn’t let Ajax have her, knowing where he was t
Ajax’s men drew their weapons, axes and blades glinting in the air like the shine of cruel death. Leila turned to Kihara hastily. “Whatever you do, you’ll stay with me okay?” Kihara nodded, her hands tightening on her gun. I have this, she thought to herself, she ought to be fine. Asher from a few feet away glanced back at them quickly, he shared a look with Brody and Leila and they seemed to understand a they both nodded. To kihara, his eyes softened and seemed to tell, ‘be safe.’ Kihara nodded at him. She did not plan to let any of these men get close to her.And they were a lot of them. They were beyond outnumbered. The men were ordinary humans, and against a dozen well trained wolves were like an army of ants, but ants that they were, they crawled towards them from every angle, swarming in as if they could choke off the air. The men were way more than preoccupied in a few seconds, battling claws with blades and axes. The wailing sound of men broke through the peaceful mountainous
Sebastian listened quietly the messenger, a drink in his hand illuminating the colorful swirl of candlelight it captured. The messengers words echoed softly through his ear drums. After the man was done, Sebastian nodded. “You’re dismissed.”The man backed out of the room, his legs were about to cross the threshold when Sebastian called. “Don’t go back to the woods Jerry. I doubt that our boy will be anymore useful after today.”***Everything was set for their journey to Ever-moon. Transportation and envoy and the gifts Kihara had prepared for ever-moon waited downstairs while the Alpha couples exchanged swift words with each other.“You know why I worry Kihara, it is dangerous.” Asher was saying, the veins in his temples bulging as he emphasized on the word dangerous. Kihara was having none of it as she stood glaring at him with her hands crossed above her chest. ‘I don’t see how that is an issue.” They had had this conversation last night, and the night before, still, Asher was in
Kihara had never been to the pack dungeon. She was not even aware that a place like such existed, but as it turned out, the underground bunker was not the only thing underground. The dungeon was built a bit off ways from the pack, the only thing that lead to it was well like construction with stairs. The dungeon wasn’t well kept, unlike many areas of the pack, because it was hardly used. Asher told kihara the last time it had been opened, it was used by his father, and now him, to lock up Justin.Kihara climbed down the narrow stairs that led down to the dungeon with her heart feeling heavy and in her throat, Asher right behind her. At the bottom of the stairs, the dungeon opened up to9 a big musty space. The air was hot and drier around here. Directly in the middle of the room, two iron cages sat beside each other, and Justin sat in one, on a stool, his hands and knees bound. The cages looked ordinary to Kihara, there was no reason why they should be able to hold a werewolf, Kihara w
Kihara’s honeymoon lasted three nights. Three good nights of no worries, three nights of forgetting that there was even anything to be worried about. It ended too quickly for her liking, but they needed to get back to their duties, and Kihara needed to start hers. The bodies they found in the woods had been buried properly. In the days Kihara and Asher remained completely indoors, the only time they opened their doors was to receive food, and in their absence, Victor had taken charge. He’d put off alerting human authorities about the bodies in the woods and for good reason. No human police would not believe that the work had been done by a pack of werewolves. It’d be like putting handcuffs on their own wrists and walking to the police station to be locked behind bars, not that any police bar or handcuff could hold a werewolf. Apart from burying the bodies, there were many other issues. The pack had grown hesitant of stepping outside pack house boundaries. Members who had human jobs
