What do you think of the punishment? Did Alana deserve it?
Today was Friday and my first day working at ‘Bean There Done That’. After school, Dav was accompanying me to work and she even ordered a caramel latte. About fifteen minutes later her boyfriend picked her up and she left with him. Lukas had been quite helpful. He’d given me the menu and asked me to stand by the register with him. Whenever Caleb, the barista who was working right now, had done an order, Lukas would first tell me which coffee was which, and then after a few rounds, he would quiz me in order to help me memorize everything on the menu. “You’re not making the coffee but it’s important for you to know the basics just in case a customer asks you something or would like your recommendation,” said Lukas when there was no one queueing. “So how many espresso shots is a Latte?” “Two,” I answered, recalling what he’d told me fifteen minutes ago. Judging from the way his lips turned upward into a smile, I’d nailed that one. “That’s right. How about a cappuccino?” It took me t
“Eros, it’s me. Xyrra,” I tried. The man who was standing right in front of me looked every bit like my best friend and yet at the same time, he didn’t. I couldn’t explain it or pinpoint what it was that looked different because physically he looked like Eros Adler yet I felt like he wasn’t Eros. “I don’t know you and I don’t know who this Eros person is,” said the man, frowning. His gaze moved to my hand which was still holding his wrist and I quickly let it go. “Xy.” Miles came closer, stealing a glance at the man before focusing his attention on me. “Maybe you got the wrong person,” he muttered in a low voice. “No, I’ve grown up with Eros. I know what he looks like.” I stared at the man, giving him a once over then my eyes landed on the brown shirt he was wearing underneath his black blazer. I recognized his clothes. He’d once left them behind at my house when he’d had a sleepover. My mind instantly recalled what had happened before. “I can prove it. That shirt you’re wearing, at
It was easy to find the house where the party was being held judging from the music blasting from it. There was a couple on the terrace, openly making out as if they were in their own place and not at a party. A guy and a girl openly drinking beer from plastic cups by the door seemed to recognize Miles. “Hey, you came!” said the guy with dark hair and darker eyes. “I thought you’re gonna bail on us for this chick you said has been driving you nuts.” Under the light above us, I could see Miles’ cheekbones reddened a little. “I was working.”“Right,” drawled the girl with a knowing smile. She caught the sight of me as I stood behind Miles, and pointed her jaw towards me. “Who’s this?” Miles moved away, giving me some space to step forward. “This is Xyrra.” Then he turned to me and introduced his friends. “This is Rusty and Ashley.” “Hi,” I greeted them. We talked for a bit, most of the time I was just listening to them talking about sports and school while learning a bit more about M
“Did you just—” I didn’t let Miles finish his sentence as I caught his wrist and dragged him through confused, scared party goers who were now turning the flashlights on their phones all the way to the kitchen and through the back door. I only let go of my grip once we were alone in the backyard. “Xy, what did you do? I mean, how did you do it?” His face was confused but I caught a hint of fear in his eyes. Even though I knew that there was no point in denying it but I tried it anyway and hoped that he would see the logic and forget that magical stuff was real — which was a hard thing to do considering he was a supernatural being himself. “What are you talking about?” I tried to sound appalled. “I didn’t do anything. You were with me there. Plus I couldn’t. I’m just a normal human being, remember?” Just to be on the safe side, I put my hands inside the pocket of my jeans because clearly, this power was not controllable right now. I had to find a way to control it so something like
Alpha Ryker’s POVI reviewed the agreement one more time before digitally signing them then I sent an email to my secretary to let her know. Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the leather chair and took a deep, calming breath. It was crazy to think that I actually had a successful company without my family’s money.About four years ago — a year after my brother’s death, my dad had announced Draven Summers, my nephew, as the sole heir of old Cromwell’s fortune, I’d been pissed. I wasn’t pissed at Draven in particular, I knew there was some tough love back in the States and that he’d been ostracized by his own grandfather. All my anger and frustration were for my father. He’d simply kicked me out just because I wanted to make Alana Luna. He’d gone on and on about how our pack, The Ethereal, had become one of the strongest packs in the world because we’d never rejected our Fated Mate. That the mates were chosen for us by the Moon Goddess for a good reason — although we didn’t know wha
Xyrra’s POV“Hey, Miles, thank you for getting me home,” I told him as he parked his car in front of the packhouse. “Nah, don’t mention it.” Miles smiled and then took off his seatbelt. “Come on. Let me walk you to the door.” I rolled my eyes at him for being a gentleman. “It’s fine. I got it. Trust me, even though he sent gazillion texts to me, Ryker will ignore me and pretend I don’t exist.” Miles chuckled. “Gosh. What did you do?” He grabbed his keys then opened the door and got out. I followed him and walked towards him. “That’s the thing. I didn’t know what I did. Everything was fine — he was even kind at one point, and then the next day he became a completely quiet person. He acted like I wasn’t there.” I shrugged it off as though it didn’t hurt. “But that’s okay. I’ll get my own money and pay him monthly for staying here so it’ll be like a hostel. We would be just like housemates or a landlord and a rentee.” “That’s a bad idea.” Miles shook his head and looked at me as we s
“That doesn’t make any sense,” I argued even though I’d been telling myself to leave. “Why would you need to scare her away? You could just ask her, and tell her about your plan of using me—” “I didn’t use you,” he cut me, his eyes were burning with anger and something else that I couldn’t quite comprehend. “I am not using you. I don’t know how else I’m supposed to convince you about this.” He let out a rough huff. “I’ve told Alana to leave after the wedding but she came up with a million excuses and the bottom line was that she didn’t want to leave. But I wanted to try talking to you and hopefully convince you to come here so when Dmitry offered to help kick Alana out, I let him do that. And before you accuse me of taking you here so I could use you, think again. Why would I want to use you? For what? You’re my mate.” “Are you seriously wanting me to believe that you really want me to come here simply because I’m your mate?” I couldn’t hide the tone of incredulity in my voice. He w
He remained quiet for several heartbeats and I anxiously stared at him. Then he finally said, “Okay but at least let me protect you. I know what’s going on out there, okay. I know about your father killing the Night Walkers’ Alpha and how they might seek retribution.” I swallowed hard and tried not to let any emotion leak on my face. Even though I was scared, I didn’t want him to see that. “I’m fine.” He looked at me for what felt like forever before he said, “Are you more comfortable if I have Miles following you around instead of Dmitry?” “I am fine,” I reiterated again. “I don’t need a babysitter.” Plus, I had this superpower. Although I didn’t know how to fully control it yet, I knew I could learn or damn well give it my best effort to try because every day it seemed that the power continued to show me what it could do. Today I learned that I could make people believe what I wanted them to believe, who knew what more it could do. “If you don’t want Miles then your last optio
Dear Gentle Readers, Thank you so so much for your support! Truly, it means the world. This author first started this book with no experience whatsoever when it comes to the werewolf genre however he has a bit of experience in writing fantasy upon having his book published by one of the major publishers under the name AJ Rosen. Regardless of how many views/reviews this book has right now, this author has fallen madly in love with the werewolf genre. So much so that he would bring you not one, but three more werewolf books under “A.R. Were World Series” ~ Mad Wolf — Book II (already completed and available here) Lone Wolf - To Kidnap The Alpha's Daughter — Eros Adler’s story, Book III (published on GoodNovel) The Wolf Prince — Dmitry’s story or you can read Tiffany’s story: Viva Lust Vegas This author hopes that you will give these three books as much love and support as you have given TTWA. So the question this author has been receiving: how to find these books? Since t
By the time I woke up, it was already noon and I found myself alone in his bed. I was hoping that Ryker would be here with me but I knew that he was an Alpha and he had tons of things to do other than to stay in bed, waiting for me to wake up. I stretched my tired and sore body then swung my legs to one side of the bed, getting up. Out of habit, I folded the blanket and tidied the bed before I walked out of his bedroom, closed the door behind me, and made my way downstairs.
Xyrra’s POV Call me crazy but before I opened the door, just by hearing the knock alone, I could tell that it was Ryker and despite everything else, my heart skipped a beat. I tried telling myself that it was just sex that we’d shared but deep down I knew that I was fooling myself. There was something more. Something tantalizingly sweet and dangerously perm
Alpha Ryker’s POV I knew that there was something wrong with me. The wound had healed so whatever it was, I knew it was not physical. After everyone had gone to bed, I went to the library on the second floor and searched for the book which had all the information on ancient artifacts. I’d finished going through the information regarding Roman and Egypt artifacts when Dmitry entered the library and approached
“Ryker!” I screamed as I made my way towards them. Some wolves tried to prevent me from reaching Ryker and I blasted my power, throwing them out of my way. I saw Eros attack the human, tearing him out to pieces.
“Wow, look at you,” I teased Ryker as I walked into the kitchen and found him wearing my dad’s clothes and also his apron. “What are you making?” I placed my hand on the spot on the kitchen island and peered over his shoulder. “French toast.” Ryker turned his head and planted a kiss on my left temple. He did it in a way that almost scared me because it was

Ryker and I wasted no time as we made our way to the Center. It seemed that Trish had volunteered to join the team looking for Eros and she’d been the one finding him. While Ryker focused on driving, I quickly sent a text to Trish, thanking her for doing this. She didn’t have to help but she knew how much Eros meant to me and helped anyway. By the time the car stopped a few blocks away from Eros’s apartment building, I frowned. I couldn’t believe that Ares had checked himself into the same apartment although he rented a different unit than what Eros had there. Perhaps the familiarity of the building somehow drew him into renting a unit there despite the high rental cost. This could be taken as a good sign that maybe his memory was still there, just hidden. That he could be saved. I got out of the car as soon as the car stopped and both Trish and Young Seb approached me. “So what now?” asked Young Seb looking at me and then at Ryker who had gotten out of the car and was approaching us
Alpha Leonidas agreed that he would send a few of his pack members to go looking for Eros in the Center, Ryker would also send a few of the Ethereal members to help. Young Seb would come with us once we managed to locate Eros/Ares but he would be accompanied by his sister, a pack warrior named Yelena. Young Seb didn’t look happy being babysat by his sister but Alpha Leonidas’ words had been final. It was either Yelena or Beta Adler and of course, Young Seb would prefer his sister rather than the grumpy Beta. As we drove back to the North, I tried to read Ryker’s mind and when I came up with nothing, I decided to ask him directly, “What are you doing to do with Alana?” There was a long moment of silence inside the car before Ryker finally glanced at me and replied, “I don’t know.” He inhaled a deep breath and let it out. “Dmitry already locked her up again. Her dad kept asking to see me, he tried to mind link me numerous times when we were back at the Erebus’ territory but I blocked
