I woke up to the sound of Alaric voice, he was singing out loud and cheerfully as if he had won the lottery, I knew he believed he was winning in this silent battle he was having with me and my family but I knew he was in for a rude awakening I also perceived the nice aroma of breakfast, what ever he was cooking was definitely going to be very delicious He was cooking for me again I noticedHe really can be romantic but I smiled as I knew it was all a ruse, this was all a front to deceive and manipulate me but I was willing to allow him take advantage of me if this is his method of doing it. Alaric feels he is playing me whist it is the other way around, I want him as distracted as possible so he would not know how time flies. I could already smell from my room that he was cooking and that it was going to be delicious. There was a time I was worried about his food, worried that he might poison me or try to control meI was not really concerned about the control or him taking my
I was happy for this time I had, I used it to have another meeting with my family members, the idea was to find a solution to the vampires problem, I met and urge with those who I could to assist while sending a message to others to help before there is a shortage. The feed back was more than pleasant, we had more and more volunteers and all their blood work came out clean, before long the vampires had their kingdom in check, everyone who was poisoned with the bad batch were in no time cleared, Alaric on the other hand barely called and seemed to be very busy, I knew he was recovering and possibly scheming, but I was happy provided it was all rhetorical and whatever plan he might make possible was all faulted by us. Alaric came back after three days visiting his “mother”He drove into the compound and got out of his vehicle I rushed to him and hugged him tightly “Babeeeee! I have so missed you sooo much” I said as I pecked him He smiled sweetly at me“So how is your mum now?” I a
Jolene Pov"Listen carefully… I, Maverick of SharpEdges Pack, rejected you Jolene as my mate!" Maverick's face was cold and filled with disgust and loathing when he stared at me. My happy expression immediately paled in shock and disappointment and I could feel deep searing pain and tightness in my heart which made me clutch my chest and gasp loudly in pain. "I don't agree." I bit my lips and fought back the tears from dripping. I have just celebrated my seventeenth birthday two days ago, and I've been eager to have my mate. But I never thought that my mate would be Maverick the Alpha's son nor do I believe that I'd be rejected fiercely by him before I could even acknowledge it. Maverick took a step toward me, his handsome face which always made me blush a deep red now seems to send me to hell. My breath was caught in my throat as he towered over me, his eyes boring down to me as if I was just an insignificant thing, "Do you think you're worthy of me?" Maverick spat out ruthlessl
Mavericks POV The day I turned 16 - three years ago - was the day I discovered that Jolene was the mate the moon goddess bestowed upon me. I was on my way to pack some important documents my father asked me to fetch when the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled drifted into my nose.'Mate!' Killian hollered loudly in my head due to excitement when we saw Jolene. Jolene was beautiful like she has always been and she looked at my face with a shy smile that revealed her dimples, "Hi." She waved at me which made me stop in my track'Mate!' Killian growled in my head as a response that made the excitement of finding my mate vanish, immediately. I have always longed for a strong Alpha female wolf but I never expected it to be someone like Jolene; Jolene is a weak human compared to the strong person I planned for my Luna position. Jolene is weak, she doesn't know how to fight, she doesn't have courage, she couldn't keep up with the pack training, and several times the pack had to p
Jolene's POV It was unbearable, it was as if my body was submerged in a fire. My whole body was uncomfortable and I couldn't help gasping in pain. I've always thought that one wouldn't feel pain once one dies but it seems to be a lie. It hurts, it hurts so much. My whole body was as heavy as a lead, I tried to lift my arms but I couldn't, and no matter how much I struggled, my eyes seem to be shut with glue making me unable to open my eyes. After what felt like centuries, I was finally able to open my eyes to see a beautiful space, 'It's so beautiful. Heaven is so beautiful.' I thought as my green eyes darted around in curiosity. I tried to look around without straining my painful neck and soon I realized that I was in space. I was in a room; a very big and beautiful room. The room was painted and decorated in white, and I suddenly realized that I was lying on the bed. This is crazy, is there a bed in heaven? I thought in bewilderment."Princess, you're finally awake!" Two women
"Stop crying please." Mother comforted me when the tears continually poured down from my eyes. A man suddenly strode into the room with an anxious expression. He had green eyes, I guess I must have taken that eye trait from him, considering that mom's eyes were black."Is anything wrong?" My real father asked with a pained expression and pulled mother into his embrace. The other woman quietly left us. I shook my head after getting a hold of my emotions, "No, I'm fine. It's just that I've always thought that I was just a weak human living among the werewolves." I explained and cleaned my tears."Did they reject or bully you because of that?" Father asked with a frown that perfectly shows that he won't hesitate to raze Sharpedges Pack to the ground if I nod and say yes. I slowly shook my head and said, "They didn't. I have a mother and father who always took care of me. The whole pack treated me well." I explained truthfully Mother frowned in confusion, "But why did you fall from t
Maverick's POV "Your highness, I'm sorry but we couldn't find young Miss Jolene no matter how we search." A man told me when I leaned on the tree smoking cigarettes to get my mind off the thoughts. The four teams that father dispatched - which consisted of 7 people each to look for Jolene in different parts of the cliff - finally came back after 3-4 hours telling me they found no trace of Jolene. Maybe because I was used to the disappointment all day, I was numbed to the report."Your highness, I found a jacket." A man ran over holding a green jacket. I recognized it as the one Jolene hung when she was in the practice room. The feelings I've been trying to hold all unbottled themselves and unite to suppress me. All of it seemed to tighten its hand around my throat. The hand that held the cigarettes immediately went closer to my mouth, choosing to concentrate on how the cigarettes felt and tasted instead of letting the emotions overwhelm me. Before I could say a word, another ma
“Again, Jolene do it again” my father yells at me. I just finished sparring with one of the wolves in the pack and he won. I was getting better but this was one of the best I have performed. I got in my fighting stance and prepared to go again. This time I managed to knock him down and I could not help but shout for joy. “Good job baby girl, you did well in training today. I have good news. We are announcing your status as the next Lycan ruler tonight at a ball” my father tells me. I instantly become nervous and I think what if the pack refuse to accept me as their ruler? All these thoughts were rolling around in my head as my father and I were walking back to the royal house. “I know you were worried that the pack would not accept you but I promise you they will. You are the rightful heir and the pack has been waiting years for their princess to return home.” I nod “Father I know, I am just worried, I won’t be good enough. I do not want to disappoint you or mother.”…“I am proud

I knew past day I have given all my time to Blake because of how much I missed him, i know before Alaric comes for me I need to have a private meeting with all my family members, I knew this could possibly be our last moment together before the inevitable happens so I need to be sure everyone was on the same page. I made a mental connection to everyone I could, that we should meet in the dining room alone to go over our plan. I remove what I wore to bed and walk to the bathroom. I stand at the sink and brush my teeth. When I am done, I step into the shower and turn on the tap. I wash my hair and when I am done with washing my hair, I start washing my body. I finish with my shower and dry my body with my towel. When I finish, I wrap the towel around my hair so it can dry. I leave the bathroom and walk to the vanity. When I get there, I plug in my hair dryer and start blow drying my hair. Once I am done with drying my hair, I put on hairspray and I style my hair. I brush my hair until
As we stood there, disoriented and shaken, a distant sound caught our attention. The rumble of an approaching vehicle grew louder, filling us with a glimmer of hope.Within moments, headlights illuminated the darkened road, revealing the figure of a passerby. A kind stranger had stumbled upon our wreckage, offering a helping hand in our time of need.As the headlights grew brighter, casting a glow upon the wreckage, a wave of relief washed over us. The stranger approached with cautious steps; his concern evident in his eyes. It was Blake."Blake?" I murmured in disbelief, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't believe the twist of fate that had brought him to our side in this moment of desperation.He nodded, a mixture of surprise and concern crossing his face. "Luna, Alaric, what happened? Are you both alright?"Alaric, still recovering from the impact, managed a weak nod. "We were in an accident. The car crashed, and we need help."Blake immediately sprang into action, his quic
So, I had stayed inside, curled up in my blankets, trying desperately to distract myself with a book. However, it proved to be useless, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon watching TV in silence, occasionally sipping an occasional cup of coffee when I was bored.It had started raining halfway through my fourth cup of coffee, and the raindrops were falling onto the windowsill as I sat huddled underneath my covers, my knees pulled up to my chest and my arms wrapped tightly around my legs. A few minutes later, the front door swung open, and a mixture of anticipation and apprehension filled the air. My heart skipped a beat as I sat up, hoping it was him, hoping for a chance to reconnect. But as I heard the loud clattering noise, my hope turned to confusion, and I couldn't help but follow the sound."Dad!"The word escaped my lips before I could stop it, a combination of surprise and uncertainty. There he was, my father, walking further into the house, his presence stirring up a
They sat there for a moment. The only sounds in the room were their quiet breaths. Their footsteps echoing softly throughout the empty restroom. The ticking of the grandfather clock somewhere far away in the distance. They listened to its rhythm until Luna pulled back, resting her head on his shoulder again. Alaric looked down, catching sight of the bracelet she wore around her wrist. A simple silver band with tiny white flowers embroidered onto it. It reminded him of the sunflower bracelet his grandmother had given him when he was younger. He smiled faintly at the memory, running his thumb across the band. "It's funny. Before Mom died, she bought me this bracelet, too," Alaric murmured, his fingers tracing the delicate patterns on the bracelet lightly. "The sunflower represents hope…" he mumbled. Luna lifted her head, her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at him in confusion."Hope?" she questioned. Alaric shook his head slightly, smiling weakly. "Yeah." He paused, trying to f
She'd grown up without parents or a loving family, and though she'd managed to make some friends here in The City, she was far too lonely for her own good. He had never known any other woman who felt the way he did when he first laid eyes on her, and if this was their only chance at happiness together, then Alaric would not pass it by without making it count. He knew she liked men - he'd caught her eyeing up a few of them on occasion - and he hoped that once they got past the awkward stage of 'letting their feelings show', this could be a relationship where he wouldn't have to worry about disappointing her. There were so many things about Luna that made Alaric's chest feel tight and warm inside. Her smile, the sound of her voice, even the way she smelled. It all left him feeling so… so… "And besides," said Luna, smiling back at him with an impish look in her eyes. "Who wants a boyfriend who makes their job a nightmare?"They both chuckled, but neither could resist looking down at th
I couldn't contain my excitement as I reunited with my family, feeling the warmth and love radiating in the air. We gathered in the cozy living room, enveloped in laughter and joy. Embracing my parents tightly, I soaked in the comforting familiarity of their presence. It had been far too long since we were all together.Seated on plush sofas, we began sharing stories, eagerly catching up on the events that had unfolded during our time apart. My father animatedly recounted his latest adventures in his workshop, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm."You should have seen the intricate clock I crafted," he said, a gleam of pride in his voice. "Every cog and gear working in perfect harmony. It's a testament to the beauty of precision."My mother chimed in; her voice filled with admiration. "And your garden, dear. It has flourished under your loving care. The roses have bloomed like never before."As the conversation continued, I listened intently, cherishing every word as it painted a vivid
I woke up the next morning to my alarm screaming at me. It was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to explode at the very next second, grumbling against my pillow.I contemplated on ignoring it or just going back to sleep after attending to it I finally chose an option that I did not thought of before I checked the time and it was six o’clock. A little bit of relief came to a sigh on my lips. I thought that I had overslept for a moment considering all the time I had procrastinated before coming to check the clock and so I stretched my hand and I turned off the alarm and sat up from bed. It was so early and my stomach was already growling, I couldn't imagine how hungry I was and so I needed to get ready for breakfast…I was craving something easy like cereal because I was already starving a lot.&nb
