Claire’s POV“Let me go!” I pushed Jake’s hands away.He has managed to make me come over; he has been begging me all afternoon."Please, Claire," he said. He pulled me onto his lap, and he began to kiss me. Something led toother, I ended up staying over.The next day, Jake and I stood in front of the mirror, brushing our teeth together. He finished first, rinsing his mouth and spitting into the sink, looking extremely sexy.He gave me a devilish smirk as he put his toothbrush back on the countertop next to mine.“Ready?” He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I joked and smiled as he walked up behind me and grabbed my bottom. He lifted me up and slammed me back down on the sink counter, causing me to squeal loudly. He kissed me passionately as he rubbed his erection against me. Funny to see how hard he was. I didn’t expect him to be this tempted, but it was a welcomed sight.I moaned deeply against his lips and opened my legs wider, granting hi
Michael’s POVThe moon had just gone a half as I stood looking around. It’s been a long time since I visited the Viola Pack. Looking at the field brought back memories I thought I had forgotten. There was a feeling of nostalgia, rising like the early morning sun. I could clearly make out the playground we used to go to.The chilly weather was in agreement with the way I felt on the inside. I loosened the shirt at the topmost button. My heart beat against my cheat like a drum. A drum of war. The blood pumped into my veins as I waited. Questions were all jumbled up in my head. Seeking answers, I so desperately want to know."Well, well, well, look who the cat dragged out, Hello Michael,” came Jake’s sinister voice. I spun around, and there he was. He reeked of alcohol. He was bare-chested except for a dark robe that adorned his shoulders. Was that the scent of a female I perceived? He was smirking.“You don’t look so pleased to see me,” he smiled as he wiped his eyes. I eyed him. He lau
Michael’s POVWe finally got home after the irritating traffic."Dad, will you tuck me to bed?” Dylan asked as we ate dinner. I smiled; no scratch that, I grinned. A wide tooth shows one. This boy was making me emotionally aware. Was this what I missed when I wasn’t with him? I would trade days of boring meetings with the elders to play hide and seek with him if I could."Yes, son,” I said, and Nora’s face mirrored mine. When she noticed that I was looking at her, the smile on her face vanished like a ghost. I smiled.Dinner was spaghetti with meat balls. Hercules and Mia had been sharing looks all through dinner. By now, they should know that all of us knew there was something going on between them. I badly wanted to taunt Hercules about it, but Mia was still mourning. Her smile after they came back from the ice cream buying was a beautiful one. She hasn’t been like that since Marcel happened.Zen coughed and looked at them, and then I knew he was going to talk."Hercules,” he began.
Michael’s POV“Dad?’ I saw him sitting there.“I guess you wanted a break,” he said."Dad, I don’t understand,” I said."Listen, so you understand then,” he smiled. I slowly nodded.Then she attacked the Dames pack. They had a brave fight, but sadly, she managed to kill Ralia. This caused great mourning for the Dames Pack. Then King Alpha descended on them. He punished them by making them slaves because, without Ralia, they were just weak. They were nicknamed Omegas. That is where the term Omega started.Then, as if that wasn’t enough, other packs began to treat them badly, except for the Faulkners. The Trish and the Kesma took the Dames as slaves. Then the Kesma pack did something so gruesome. They declared an attack on the Dames. They killed most of them and brought their women along with them. They attacked the Faulkners too; they killed some of their people but couldn’t make them slaves because the Faulkners were of a stronger breed. So they decided to settle for the Dames.Now, d
Nora’s POV“Nora Preston!!! Where the hell are you?!” Claire screamed into the phone. My phone had been buzzing endlessly, and the moment I heard Claire’s voice, I knew I was in deep sh*t.“Hi Claire, good morning. Please try stalling her on; I’m almost there!” I begged as I jumped out of bed. Shit! I had slept in again, and I would get late for work. The school year had begun. After Dylan had gone to school yesterday, I decided to start today. The talk with Michael yesterday made my emotions go in every direction."Nora, there is absolutely nothing good about the morning. I know you spent the night watching that annoying movie and ending it by reading novels.""Ehhh, something like that, but it's..." She cut me off.“Save whatever you have to say for yourself later. Now will you get your ass down here or you will get me in trouble?"And on that note, she ended the call. A huge grin stretched across my face as I thanked the heavens for giving me such a friend like her. I felt like I a
Nora’s POV“Dylan!” I yelled as I came across some glue in my make-up kit. He walked into my room, and his eyes went straight to my hands, and immediately he leapt off.“Come here, you naughty boy.” I ran after him."Mum, I’m sorry!” He laughed as he ran.We had gone outside to the garden as I chased him around a huge fountain.“Don’t let me get you!” I laughed. As weird as this sound, I was losing my breath.Was I getting old? I stopped and held my knee. "Okay, you’ve won,” I said, panting.“Come over here,” I beckoned to him. He stared at me for a while as he tried to catch his breath.“I don’t believe you,” he replied.Hey, how did he know that? I was planning to grab him and kiss his cheeks. He hated it because he said he was now a grown man and not a child."Come on, honey, I have some banana pudding for you,” I said."No, mom, you didn’t make any,” he said, laughing.Immediately, I ran after him, but he got away. Oh, the stairs. I saw a seat by the side and sat. I had sweat drip
Michael’s POVWe walked for like 20 minutes before we got to the foot of the mountain. I sat."Agnar, what are we going to do? The hunting season will soon be here”“I know Herc; let me think,” I said, breaking a twig that was in my path. Hunting seasons in the werewolf kingdom were brutal. Bloody.After that talk with Nora, my mood was in the gutters. I went about my day, snapping at everyone. It was when I got into my room that Hercules suggested that we go out to hang out. This is something we did when we were younger. I managed to get a clear head after sitting here. The wind was cold, and just like a natural balm, it massaged my heart. As I stared at him, memories I thought I might have forgotten surfaced.***********************Hercules and I shared a secret that bound us in a way only brothers could understand. We were werewolves, creatures of the night, and tonight, under the silvered moonlight, we decided to engage in a playful duel.“The night is young, and so are we!” Herc
Malia’s POV (Zen’s mate)As I walked to his house, I had sweat dripping down my armpits and hands. I had never been this nervous. I thought of what would become of me if this strange man vented his anger at me. I knew it wasn’t in my place to interfere, but I just couldn’t sit back and watch her be killed. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t her fault. She was a child who knew nothing about the laws and rules of the land.When I got to the door and was about to knock, I heard a voice, and I froze.“Come in,” a voice growled from the inside. I stood for a while before recognizing that it was none other than this strange man’s voice. How he knew that I was at the door has me surprised. I took in a deep breath and walked in. His chamber was as beautiful as the last time I saw it. I have only been to his room two times since we got here. And those two times, it didn’t end well, at least from my end. I walked in and saw him leaning on a wall, drinking liquor. This strange man, as I have come to kno
