CHAPTER 5:
The car turned really silent and Adrianna was starting to get really uncomfortable.
"Is anything wrong with me?" Adrianna asked again. She had asked at first but then Roman didn't care to reply to her.
Her eyes turned teary as she wasn't used to getting ignored by Roman.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I getting affected by his stupid attitude?" She asked herself as she didn't understand why she felt like crying.
On the other hand, Roman still had a grim look on his face. He could hear Adrianna's questions clearly but he didn't care to answer. He was battling with a lot inside.
For a moment, the car turned silent again as he continued to drive. But then with his heightened senses, he could hear slight sniffing from the back seat.
"Is she crying?" He asked himself as his heart clenched in pain.
He never felt this way for Dianne before. Though he had feelings for Dianne, they were never this intense.
His wolf was clawing at his mate bond, "You dimwit, my mate is distressed. You should get the fuck out of here so I'll be able to soothe her." Roman's wolf said and he snorted inwardly.
"You know I have to be there when you soothe her, so I'm not getting out." Roman clapped back at his wolf.
"She needs your attention, you dimwit." Roman's wolf said and immediately he shut his wolf out. He didn't need someone humming in his ears, disturbingly.
On the other side, she was chanting to herself, "He is not affecting me in any way. I'm just concerned if I'm infected or not."
And immediately after, she jumped into the front seat of the car.
"What the fuck!!!" Roman screamed, and immediately stepped on the break. For a moment, his canines grew and his body started to change but he reigned in over his wolf.
His wolf was trying to take control, as Roman and Adrianna, the mate, were in danger.
The car was quick to come to a screeching halt in seconds.
"What the fuck was that. You could have got us killed." Roman yelled, his heart was beating really fast, and glared at her.
However, Adrianna had a wronged expression on her face. She didn't like the way he glared at her but she needed to know what was wrong with her.
Aside from wanting to know what was wrong, she didn't like Roman's silence.
"I'm sorry." She said finally and Roman turned to look outside the window.
"I'm sorry." Adrianna said and he turned to look at her.
"What did you do that for?" Roman asked, his voice was low this time.
Adrianna immediately held onto Roman's arm, "I was asking you an important question. I was so concerned about my health and it seemed like you didn't care." Adrianna said, in an incredibly whiny tone.
Roman sighed and then said, "You're not infected. So, there's nothing wrong with you. You're safe." Roman said and then patted her hands which rested on his arm.
However, Roman words meant something else to him.
He thought that if there was nothing wrong with Adrianna's brain then who was she?
However, he decided to shove that thought at the back of his mind. At this point, he could feel the mate pull and he wanted to soothe his mate.
His wolf was constantly clawing at their bond.
"Come here." Roman said and opened his arms wide. He was inviting Adrianna for an embrace and she looked at him skeptically.
She could remember how she felt when she hugged him hours ago and it would be a lie if she said she didn't want another hug.
Adrianna immediately rushed into his embrace, her head was buried in the crook of his neck and she took a deep whiff of his scent. She could feel a tingling sensation spreading through her body and she liked it.
"How comforting." She said lowly.
Fortunately for the couple, there were no cars on the road as they were still in the middle of the road.
On the other hand, Roman frowned as sparks flew between them. Her delicious scent overwhelmed him and he was incredibly attracted to her.
In one swift second, he nudged her head away from his neck, and without thinking, he placed a kiss on her lips.
Adrianna froze at this sudden action. Her first real kiss was with Dave but then she could say she was forced to kiss him.
On the other hand, Roman widened at the way her lips were so soft. He couldn't get enough of them and he pressed his lips harder, against hers.
He took her bottom lips in his and he sucked on it, wildly.
"What is going on here?" Adrianna asked herself as Roman continued to suck on her lips. She wouldn't deny that she didn't like what he was doing.
In one swift second, Roman bit her bottom lip and she gasped due to pain mixed with pleasure.
Her eyes closed as Roman plunged his hot tongue into her hot mouth.
At this, Adrianna let out an involuntary moan and she immediately pressed herself against his body.
She was a novice but then she responded to his kiss in the way she knew how to.
"Hmmm…so fucking hot." Roman let out, in between kisses. He could feel Adrianna's body against his but then he wanted to feel her closer.
Roman broke the kiss and immediately used his hand to recline the chair.
"Come here, baby." He said as he held onto her waist. Immediately, he carried her and placed her on his thighs. Her legs were spread and placed on either side of his legs.
"Good." Roman said and he immediately slammed his lips on hers and Adrianna gasped, in delight. His hand wound around her waist and he pushed her closer to himself.
His other hand found its way into her hair and he held onto it.
Their lips moved against each other and Roman plunged his tongue into her hot mouth. He started to suck on her tongue and he just couldn't get enough of her sweet taste.
Their bodies were so close together, that Adrianna could feel the bulge in Roman's trousers.
"You will be the death of me, baby." Roman said, in the heat of the moment.
On the other hand, Adrianna was overwhelmed by what she was feeling. Her heart drummed in its place and she felt pleasure like never before.
A few minutes, later, Roman broke the kiss and a string of saliva connected their lips.
Roman's eyes were hazy as he looked at Adrianna. A kissing scene he had with Dianne right in the car flashed before his eyes and a small smile crept onto his lips.
___
A few hours later, Adrianna lay on the bed. Her eyes were wide open as she could get enough of what had happened earlier in the day.
"Ahhh…" She yelped as she could remember the sensation she got just by rubbing against Roman's bulge.
But then as soon as they had gotten to the pack house, Roman asked her to go back to the bedroom. He had told her that he would see her later that day.
But then he was nowhere to be found now.
"Asshole." She said. A word directed at Roman but a small smile crept onto her face as she recalled the raw emotion of love she had seen in his eyes.
Adrianna was starting to get thirsty and she immediately stood up from the bed.
Unfortunately, the pitcher on the bedside table was empty and she sighed in frustration.
She was incredibly thirsty and she felt like she was going to die if she didn't take water.
A thought suddenly crept onto her mind and a small smile bloomed on her face.
"I'll go get water, outside." She said to herself and she started to march toward the door. On the other hand, she wanted to get water outside because she reasoned she could get a glimpse of Roman.
However, in two seconds, she halted. "Oh no, I do not know anywhere around here." She said to herself and sighed.
She wished she had listened to Roman when he asked her to go down to see the pack members. At least, she would have known her way around now.
However, Adrianna continued to march toward the door.
She was determined to get water and she was also determined to see Roman.
There was a deep longing in her heart, for him. A thing she couldn't even explain but then she wasn't ready to think deeply.
In one swift second, Adrianna was out of the door but then the hallway was too dark.
She couldn't see much and she wondered if they had no lights there.
"What the fuck is wrong with these people." Adrianna yelled, her voice echoing through the hallway.
"Fake!! Dianne would never yell and cuss." A sinister voice suddenly boomed from behind and Adrianna immediately whipped her head to the side.
However, before she could do anything, she felt a strong grip around her neck.
CHAPTER 6:"Let go of me." Adrianna yelled in fear. Her hands held onto the hand around her neck.She tried to drag the hand away from her neck but it only got worse."You can't overpower me, you witch." Roman's cousin, Lisa, said in a sinister tone and Adrianna gasped. Lisa's strength was too great and she wasn't like Lucy who couldn't even fight for herself.How could Adrianna compare to Lisa's strength?Adrianna couldn't see what was happening as the hallway was too dark. However, she felt that Lisa's voice was incredibly familiar but she couldn't remember when and where she had heard it."L-let go of me…" Adrianna managed to say. Her senses were heightened in the dark and she felt pain like never before. It felt like her life force was being sucked out.Her eyes rolled and at the moment she was about to pass out, Lisa let her go and she burst into a fit of coughs."What the hell is going on here?" Roman yelled as the lights were flicked on.Adrianna's eyes brightened at the sight
CHAPTER 7:"Don't joke around, Lisa." Roman replied through the mind link. He was already facing someone that looks so much like Dianne and now Lisa informed him that Dianne was here."What the fuck is happening." Roman said out loud."Dianne is really out here. The pack members have gathered around her and also the Luna is currently interrogating her as we speak." Lisa said, word for word.Roman didn't wait for her to say anything else before he cut off the mind link. He immediately got hold of Adrianna's hand and ordered, "Come with me.""What? Let go of me. What do you think you're doing?" Adrianna asked as Roman started to drag her down the hallway.Her attitude further confirmed that she was just an imposter and the fact that the real Dianne was back, made Roman eager to get to the truth of the matter."Shut up and stay quiet. You talk too much." Roman yelled as he approached the stairs leading to the common hall.As he approached he could hear the uproars going on there and he k
CHAPTER 8:"You must have had such a wild time being a spy here, haven't you?" Dianne asked with her brows raised.Her nose was up in the air and she looked really arrogant.However, Lisa didn't mind how arrogant she was."I'm sure you must have had a nice time seducing the Alpha of the Crescent Pack. Tell me, did it turn out well?" Lisa asked, in a mocking tone.In one swift second, she walked toward the bed and sat down."You should go clean up. You stink. Why do you have to put on such an act? You could have simply come back looking all clean." Lisa said, while looking at Dianne from her head to her toes."Don't insult me, Lisa. You helped me fake my death. I'm glad about that but you have no reign over my life. Get that?" Dianne said, in a chilling tone.Her expression looked fierce, a stark contrast to how she acted before Roman or anyone else in the pack.Immediately, Dianne sat on the bed and Lisa scrambled away from her."Get away from me." Lisa screeched, moving to the other
CHAPTER 9:"Adrianna? What do you mean? How do you know her?" Roman asked with a frown on his face.His wolf snarled and threatened to jump out at the accusation leveled against Adrianna."Yes…" Dianne said, her lips quivering due to feigned fear."What did she do to you, huh?" He asked and held onto her tighter like he wanted to protect her."Promise me you won't punish her or lock her up. I think she was used." She said, trying to plead on behalf of Adrianna but then she was only adding to the fire."If she's guilty of any crime, I can't let her go. She has to be punished." He said resolutely and Dianne hugged him tighter.A wicked smirk crept onto her face and she said, "No..no…" Her voice shook slightly."Darius will come for us again." She said and immediately Roman pulled her face away."Tell me." He ordered, cupping her face in his hands."While I was at the Crescent Pack…" She began, her eyes darting to look around the whole room. She depicted how fearful she was, perfectly an
CHAPTER 10:"What interrogation? I'm innocent!" Adrianna screamed and she looked at all the guards that had gathered her.Her gaze was frantic as she tried to stand up to her feet."Sit down!" The head guard shouted and immediately Adrianna sat down. Her buttocks hit the chair, hard.With a smirk on the head guard's face, he walked toward Adrianna and looked her in the eyes."We need the truth from you and nothing but the truth." He said, in a sinister tone and Adrianna shivered.In the next second, Adrianna nodded her head slightly, at the guard's words."What pack are you from?" The head guard asked, standing upright. He then folded his bulging arms, making him look fierce before Adrianna.Even though Adrianna didn't like to be bullied, she knew she didn't stand a chance against the head guard. She wouldn't even touch the hem of his garment, with all the other guards present."I'm not from any pack. What's a pack? Pack of wolves?" Adrianna replied with a big frown on her face."Don'
CHAPTER 11:"Death will be an instant relief for you. I don't want that." The head guard replied immediately and walked toward Adrianna.In one swift second, he held onto her and dragged her up, along with the chair.Adrianna's body sat limply on the chair, with her eyes closed and tears still streaming down her face."Stop crying." The head guard said, and threw a slap across Adrianna's face.Her head whipped to the side but then she didn't give any reaction even though she felt pain.It was like her heart was dead at that moment.On the other hand, the guard was irritated by her tears and immediately, he swung his hand against her head.In the next second, Adrianna passed out, her breath shallow.__Days passed and Adrianna was left in the prison. She was without any care or treatment and she had to go day by day with her broken limb."Hey, there…" A guard shouted.Adrianna who lay still on the bare ground didn't give any response to the guard.Her face was pale and stained with blo
CHAPTER 12:The dungeon floor was dirty but then Adrianna did not care.She lay on the floor and coiled herself into a ball. She looked like a fetus in the womb.Her heart was clenching and unclenching and she felt like she was going to die any moment from then.Dianne's words continued to ring in her head and even though the feelings she had for Roman were gone, Dianne had ridiculed and made her feel less.Three hours passed and Adrianna was still laying in the same position.Her eyes were closed and dried tears could be seen on her dirty face.She was deep into sleep and in her sleep, she was walking barefooted along a narrow path.However, in the next second, she was suddenly dragged backward."What! Let go of me!" Adrianna cried out and she tried to see who was holding onto her; however, she saw no one."What?" She asked, skeptically as her eyes widened due to fear.She could feel a strong grip around her arm but she could see no one around her."Ahhhh…" Adrianna let out a bone-ch
CHAPTER 13:"N-no, I'm not doing anything." Adrianna replied immediately.The guard turned around fully and immediately opened the door."What do you think you're doing? You want to escape?" The guard asked, with a sinister smile on his face as he marched into the dungeon.Adrianna started to take steps back and in the next moment, she stumbled."What? You can't even stand? Are you so weak? Pathetic human." The guard insulted and in two steps, he was before Adrianna, towering over her."Get away from me." Adrianna said, in a frightened tone. Her face appeared frightened and she started to move on the ground.She wanted to attract the guard to touch her. Her plan was in motion and immediately the guard bent forward and caught hold of Adrianna's cloth."Let me go, please." She begged. She acted really scared and her eyes started to leak tears."You scared?" The guard asked, with a proud smile on his face. Holding onto Adrianna's tattered dress with one hand, he raised his hand and aimed
“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
