Chapter 12Burden***POV: Shea Vestine-ThorneDoes love really fade? Or can it be eternal? How is that even possible?Shea saw how her parents loved each other until the end. She witnessed their undying love for each other. She saw how they treasure each other – get contented and had supported each other through thick and thin.However, her mother remarried after her father died.Does that mean that her love for her father has already faded because of Lexi’s father? Does that mean she loves her father less now? Or was it because she needed someone beside her to live in this challenging world just for her to survive?She didn’t know. And thinking about it now, she couldn’t help but feel helpless. She couldn’t stop herself from being saddened as she stared at the open window – watching the curtains being swayed by the cold wind.Shea bit her lower lip when her eyes met the empty side of the bed – where Denver was supposed to be sleeping. She was hoping that he would come home now. She

Read at your own risk.***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneShea bit her lower lip as she felt the tension in her stomach down to her core. She clenched her jaw as her hands turned into balled fists – disheveling the sheets on the bed where she was lying.“Ahh!”She moaned in desire as she felt Denver’s tongue inserted in her wet core – steel but pleasurable. She wanted to stop him as she felt the embarrassment that was succumbing her, but the pleasure was just too much that she just couldn’t stop him.Especially that Denver held her legs firmly so she would stay still.“Ahhh!”She loudly moaned – her desire was already overflowing. She could almost feel her release as the verge of desire was finally cons
Chapter 14Slowly***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneSometimes, the things that we ought to think of doesn’t always end up the way we dreamed they would. And Shea didn’t know how to accept the fact that after everything she did… after everything she gave…Shea swallowed the lump in her throat as she stared at the dark night sky.The cold breeze just intensified the numbness that she felt as she continued walking to nothing. She couldn’t think of anything. It was as if her mind was already blank – and simply walking out of nowhere.She thought that after what happened to her and Denver, everything would finally turn out to be fine. She thought that they had finally settled everything. She thought he could finally do something about her fears – like go home to her at night… or even say goodbye… or just tell her thing

Thank you.***POV: Shea Vestine - Thorne“Oh, gosh! I really can’t believe what happened last night!” Carrie exaggeratedly exclaimed as she sat beside her on the huge rock near the riverbank.She couldn’t find an excuse for not meeting her best friend right now. Not now that she was already under her microscopic sight, and she wouldn’t want her to dig deep into what was happening to her and Denver. She wouldn’t want to stick on her nose up at her, or else her mother might also be too worried about her.And that was the least of the things that she wanted right now.Her mother had always been too worried ab
Chapter 16Admit***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneHer eyes were swollen but that was not the worst of it all… for her heart was crushed and throbbing inside.Shea stared at the blank ceiling as she unconsciously felt her fresh tears falling from her eyes once again. Apparently that she was done with it… that she had no more tears to shed but apparently, she was wrong.She hadn’t thought that the happiness she felt and the overflowing love she had felt with Denver had already ended in a snap.‘What should I do now?’ Her mind was drifting somewhere else, but she didn’t even know what or where it was.The scorching sun couldn’t even make her feel warm as the coldness still lingered in her every vein… slowly consuming her and that even her inner wolf couldn’t stop whimpering inside her… as if it
Chapter 17Broken***POV: Shea Vestine - Thorne“I am not a simple werewolf, Shea… There’s… There’s a beast lying i-inside me.”She didn’t know whether her ears were just playing tricks on her or not. However, based on Denver’s expression, she just knew that she heard him right.And it was making her a bit more confused than ever.‘What is he talking about?’ She asked herself mentally.However, she tried her very best to even gather all her senses up. She wanted to compose herself – so, she would be able to think rationally. But it was all mess up inside her.Shea swallowed the lump in her throat.“B-Beast…?” Shea uttered it under her breath – almost inaudible.But it was enough for Denver to hear.Her mind was in deep haywire right at that very moment. She didn’t know what the heck he meant by that.There were a lot of things that were spinning inside her head.“W-What do you mean?” Shea inquired more – hoping that she could learn more about it.She shivered down her spine. She want
“Did you go with the hunters again, Lexi?” She heard their mother ask her half-sister Lexi the very moment she entered their small bungalow house.From the sink where she was washing the plates, she took a swift glance at what was happening in their living room from a small opening in the furniture were their books where placed. She saw how Lexi rolled her eyes before she looked at their mother and pasted her faked smile – covering her irritation towards their mother’s possible interrogation, well, more of a litany perhaps.Shea mentally heaved a deep sigh as she continued washing the plates instead. It wasn’t new to her anyway. Her half-sister was truly stubborn, and she always did what she wanted to do. She couldn’t blame her, though. She was a seventeen-year-old lady with a tough, strong, and independent personality.Maybe she was trying to find her mate, too. Unlike her, she couldn’t do what she was doing – lurking in the woods, being with a lot of male wolves, and socializing wit
Chapter 1Alpha***POV: Shea Vestine“That witch! She never changed! I really hate her to the core!” Her best friend, Carrie, angrily cursed Lexi after telling her what happened yesterday.She let out a deep sigh as she threw the stone into the river. Her long dark chocolate hair was dancing in the cold wind. She gathered it on one side of her shoulder and tied it using her stretchable bracelet. Her fair white skin was glistening in the sun.They were in their usual spot on the riverbank. She was sitting on the huge rock while Carrie was eating the rice cakes that her mother had told her to bring. She was hoping to catch some fish in the river when Carrie appeared in front of her, asking her about what happened to her yesterday. She might be worried because she didn’t see her around.Carrie was her only best friend.Well, honestly, she was the only person who befriended her.She met her because their families were both servant omegas – the lowest rank in the pack.
