The next morning she woke up to the sunlight streaming through her open balcony. For somehow, it reminded her of last night and just that intensified the longing that she felt in her heart.
The part that was always aching for him.
For his touch.
For his lips.
With a sigh and a light shake of her head, she sat up from the bed and looked around her room in wonder.
Everything had changed.
It seemed she had always been dependent upon her Grandmother that now she found it hard to be on her own.
Everything was different then. She wasn't who she was before and now every moment of everyday in this mansion always brought her back to the memory of home.
Life had never felt so lonely and she had never felt so lost and homeless.
It was no one's fault, she kept telling herself, and still she
William hummed, noting the way she blushed a little and the way her eyes twinkled as if she was remembering the memories too clearly. "So it was a boy?"She laughed lightly and for a moment, he was surprised. She had never laughed like that in front of him."He's not a boy," she defended. "He's a man.""Who?" asked Bea who entered the kitchen room wearing a loose shirt and shorts. She walked towards the kitchen counter and leaned against it, one eyebrow lifted as she looked at Anna with a suspicious face. "Who are we talking about?" she asked, smiling a little."She said something about a Prince Charming," William mumbled, his back turned to them as he cooked on the stove."Prince Charming?" Bea echoed, a smile playing on her lips.Anna nodded slightly and a bright grin came over her lips. "A tall, dark, and handsome man," she admitted, rememberin
"Oh, my God."Without second thoughts, she rose up from the bed and her book fell as she quickly ran to him. Smiling brightly, she took the little kitten from him and hugged it in her arms.Pulling back, she kissed its head lovingly then placed it on her bed, watching as it laid down upon the sheets comfortably.Turning around, she quickly hugged Jake, oblivious to the way he stiffened and instantly relaxed. His arms came around her as he hugged her back, slightly tightening his hold."Thank you so much," she murmured to his chest and she meant it from the bottom of her heart. Pulling back, she gazed up at him and smiled. "So why are you here?""Business," he answered simply. "Then I thought I could come and say hello, see if you're fine, and bring back your cat..Found her lost somewhere."Anna smiled wider. "Jake, I think I'm getting better and b
He watched silently as she stood there at the top of the staircase. Like an angel, her face was radiant, heavenly, so beautiful. A beautiful white dress hugged her slim body, ending just above her knees, and her dark hair was properly fixed up on her head.For a moment, he was left hypnotized by her beauty. He had always thought of her as an angel in disguise. Up there, she was deity and everyone admired her from afar as if she was a goddess.She was smiling. He stared at her and it seemed to him a broken heart was hiding behind that broken smile she plastered on her rosy plump lips. And still, she smiled, even as the speaker introduced her to the crowd, declaring her eighteenth birthday.The grand celebration was taking place at the Kingsley Mansion. Werewolves from neighboring packs had come to see her. Not because she was of any importance per se but because she was human. This fact intrigued their curiosity.&nb
He did care, Anna thought. Zach cared about her too much. She couldn't imagine how he must have felt grieving his own father's death. How he must have felt guilty about the death of John's father and about Lola's death.She trembled slightly. Really, she did.Certainly, she did lose her mind when her Grandmother died. And now she couldn't help but want to console Zach now for everything he had been through. He had suffered enough. He shouldn't suffer anymore.Whilst she had stayed in John's pack, she had cried herself to sleep feeling the guilt of her Grandmother's death weighing in her chest. Her heart had ached too much and when Zach had come inside her room that one night, to visit her, almost immediately, her heart was healed by his kisses and the pain she had felt was mended by his words.How could she ever forgive herself? She should have been the one mending Zach's wounds after everyth
"You don't need another human being to make your life complete, but let's be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn't see them as disasters in your soul, but cracks to put their love into, is the most calming thing in this world." — Emery Allen• • •She was speechless. No words could describe what she felt seeing him for the first time thay night. But it was like a dream. Everything stopped. The music faded. Time was frozen and sparks were flying everywhere.She stared at him in awe. He was so beautiful. His hair was wild and chaotic as if he had ran his fingers through it a hundred times. His lips were so inviting, begging to be kissed. His eyes were dark and dilated looking down at her intently as if he could see deeply into her soul.Her heart was overwhelmed and she felt as if she would burst into tears then and there. Was he only dream? Was he only an imagination of her
Even as he had said it calmly, she knew he wasn't telling the whole truth. She wanted him to be honest. If it was about the rogues or those who had killed her Grandmother, she wanted to know all of it."Tell me everything," she begged.He couldn't resist those eyes. She spoke as if she was begging on her knees. He sighed. "I made a deal with John," he said then stopped but she waited patiently for him to continue."It was a truce between two packs," he continued. "He was calling for a war when he kept you away from me," he growled, his arms tightening slightly around her."Oh, Zach," she purred sadly, running her fingers through his hair. "I'm really sorry.""Don't be," he said. "It was my fault. I fixed it."She shook her head. "Everything that happened is not your fault, Zach. Don't blame yourself."Then he stopped in the
It was midnight. The night was young and so were the werewolf and his human mate who went further into the woods.The endless night sky was filled with lost stars. She was gazing up at them as he carried her. The tall trees surrounded them. The leaves hushed a soft melody into the wind. The cold breeze kissed their hair and the nightingales seemed to sing a sweet lovely music. The forest was indeed a place for love and he brought her there to define her what love is to him.From afar, she saw a tall tree and high above a house sat. It was a tree house. A staircase was waiting at the foot of the tree which would lead all the way to the house.With herself in his arms, he walked up the stairs and all the way to the top. The house was beautiful. He brought her down on her feet and she gasped at the sight of the view revealed before her.Everything was seen from there. The trees clouded near and
Anna was so tired all throughout the night. Running and making love in the forest sure was exhausting. But Zach, on the other hand, seemed to be unbothered. He was looking as strong as ever. He even carried her to her bedroom, given that she was already tired and sleepy."Do you want me to sleep here tonight?" he asked."Yes, please," she quickly answered, hugging him tight as soon as he laid down beside her. It seemed that she was slowly becoming clingy to him. Making love with him all the time didn't help either."Will you move in with me?" she could hear him asking."Do you want me to?" she asked sleepily, forcing her eyes to open."Of course," he answered with no doubt. "It would mean a lot if my Luna will finally start living with me.""Then your Luna will." She smiled and he kissed her cheek."You're such a cute little woman, do you know that?"
Last night had been one of the best nights of Anna’s life. Sleeping beside Zach knowing she’d be doing it every day felt so different. She had woken up early in the morning and found Zach still sleeping beside her. He looked so at peace when he’s asleep. She sat up from the bed and walked towards the window, stretching out her tired arms. The sun was starting to rise up now and she should probably do something now. Opening the curtains, she looked over the large glass windows, seeing the blue sky getting brighter.Maybe she should begin cooking breakfast for Zach from now on. She would enjoy taking care of him. Anna walked over to her new wardrobe and took some decent clothes to wear. After that, she m finally headed down to the kitchen. She took her time, preparing a delicious breakfast and after a few minutes, she was already done. She couldn’t wait for Zach to eat his first breakfast in bed with her. What about some juice? Perhaps she should check the fridge for
She moaned as he suddenly caught her lips in a deep kiss. He kept kissing her all the way down to her soft neck, planting little kisses. Then he removed the strap of her bra, kissing down her breast and sucking her nipple. Anna cried out softly, hugging his head and arching towards him in ecstasy.He sucked her other nipple, giving fair treatment to both her breasts before looking up at her again with intense darkened eyes.“Zach, please,” she heaved.“Tell me what you want, kitten,” he growled.She bit her lower lip, cheeks turning pink. “I wanna ride you.”“Really?” he growled, just as she began slowly and softly moving on top of him, encouraging him.“Really.” She agreed, licking her lips.“Did you enjoy you have fun today?” Zach asked, gazing at her face with her pretty eyes and long curly hair. She was the epitome of beauty and he doubted she didn’t know it. Ev
On her way upstairs, Anna found Diana playing on the empty hallway. The little girl was playing with a statue of a guy, acting as if she was dancing with it. Anna almost chuckled, seeing Diana acting as a grown up when all Anna ever wanted right now was to be a child again. If she could only bring back the good times.“Diana, what are you doing here and why are you still up at this late hour?” she asked, touching the girl’s soft hair.Diana looked up at her with a frown. “I’m dancing with the late Alpha Gabriel. Besides, it’s too early for me to sleep.”“Alpha Gabriel? Your grandfather?”“Uh-huh.”“Where’s your mom?”She shrugged. “She fell asleep right after drinking a lot.”“You should really sleep now as well. Because if you wake up early, perhaps we can go shopping.”She shrugged. “I don’t really like shopping.”“What do you wan
“We’re truly sorry about what happened,” Kyro said, as he took Anna to a corner and decided to apologize.It was already a few hours later when everyone had left after the celebration of the new Luna’s first official day. If she would think about it, she also faced the very first challenge of being a Luna — anger management. A problem was placed before her and she didn’t know what to do at first, because it was a problem she couldn’t fix. But now, she could finally see that she did the right thing — acceptance.Ursa and Zach had a past but it wasn’t something she should be angry of, as long as nothing was still happening between them. She knew Zach and she knew he wouldn’t do anything that could end up losing her in the process.“No, it’s alright,” she replied sincerely. “But perhaps you can tell me more about what happened between Zach and Ursa?”Right now, Ursa had fallen asleep in her own mess of drinks and
Ursa? And Zach?Anna sat speechless as everyone looked at her with a shocked face, awaiting her untasteful response. How the hell did she not know this? Did Zach have a lot of girls? This fact alone made her feel so hurt. Her heart felt like it’s breaking. How would she know if Zach didn’t have any feelings for Ursa anymore? Especially when Ursa seemed like she still hasn’t moved on from Zach. What exactly happened between them?“Judging by your reaction, I can see he hasn’t told you anything about me—“She was stopped by a sudden punch on the table, breaking the glass to pieces. Everyone was shocked to see Alpha Zach standing up and glaring down at Ursa. “If you won’t stop speaking, I’ll be forced to order you to leave my home. I welcomed you into my pack with kindness and respect, and this is how you’ll repay me? By shoving my past to my face and my new Luna?”Ursa didn’t seem scared at all. She shrugged, seeming
“What are you talking about? I was fine on the ride. I’m stressed from seeing all these food with no wine.”“Can I have some wine here?” Charles called one of the butlers, bringing wine on the table. He looked at Ursa with a raised eyebrow. “Happy?”“More than when I got here,” she scoffed, quickly taking a glass of wine and sipping it.“Don’t mind her,” Lyla whispered to Anna with embarrassment.“No worries,” Anna mouthed back.“I'm sorry, Kitten,” Zach apologized beside her, holding her hand."Don't be."Soon the vampires began eating everything on their table, getting tipsy over a few glasses of wine. "What's it like to be a human, Luna? To be normal?" Lyla asked, looking over at Anna."Well, it doesn't feel any different." She shrugged, remembering the time she used to live in the city. "It just feels normal.""That's awfu
Anna knew she could be dealing with a threat but trouble doesn’t send a warning. It could be just a simple misunderstanding and she shouldn’t make a big deal out of it. Even then, she felt so confused and troubled. Andrew didn’t seem to be the kind of guy to betray Zach but he sure acted nonchalant about a disrespectful joke. One thing she knew however, she had to find Zach and make sure he was okay.From across the room, a sea of people flooded the whole floor. Different werewolves dancing in rhythm and talking out loud. She tried to get past them but someone grabbed by the arm and stopped her.“Luna, you’re right on time,” Vincent said, giving her a glass of wine and pulling her to a group of friends. “You having fun?”“Not really. I need to get to Zach.”“Don’t worry about him, he’s a big guy. He can take care of himself.”“I know. I just need to see him right now.”“What seems t

Jake kept her company all throughout the night. They both ended up drinking wine, talking about life. Anna told him everything that happened to her, how she first shifted and how it felt so amazing and different to be a werewolf.“You really are something,” he chuckled. “A white wolf. Different from the rest of us.”“I know, right? Even Bea told me she hadn’t seen a white wolf in decades.”“You’re a rare kind. I knew it from the beginning.” Jake gazed at her sideways and could only appreciate her beauty. Even now, she seemed so untouchable. She was an angel and he was merely an earthly being who couldn’t ever reach her.“You were my first friend after all,” she said, glancing back at him with a little smile. “Do you think I can handle being a Luna? It seems rather challenging.”“Of course, you can handle it. Well, it won’t be easy. But there’s nothing the famous white wolf girl cannot face.”
