Sorry for the late update! I have a hard time writing this especially when I was filled with a lot of Christmas spirit! Now, I uploaded this in December 25th (lol!) Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!
The feeling of his fur coat around my naked body as he embraced me brought warmth as I remained puzzled by my husband’s actions. But what surprised me were the cryptic words he uttered as his heartbeat made a rapid sound. It got louder as I listened to it against his chest. Not long ago, I did something unforgivable and right now, the man, the catalyst of my suffering, was here giving me his welcoming warmth. Honestly, he confused me. The more I questioned his motives, the more enraged I felt each second. Like all the pent-up anger rose until my cheeks turned incredibly red. In fury, without a doubt. The feeling of his touch disappeared as I pushed his chest away. However, he was unaware as he was still in a daze and didn’t notice our short proximity. When his eyes blinked, his eyes focused on mine. Not long after, his doubts and confusion were washed away and replaced by his trademark glare. “Why are you here?” His eyes glowered as his hands clenched into a fist. He wasn’t goi
“LADY ROSARIA!” Before we reached back to his house, we heard Lenalee’s voice echoing around the woods, calling my name. We stopped our tracks as a figure showed up in our direction. Lenalee looked around the dark woods and was showing genuine worry as her eyes were red from the tears she shed earlier. After she caught sight of me, there was a relief before she rushed to give a tight embrace, tiptoeing to reach my height as she buried her face on my chest.“Oh, moon goddess! Lady Rosaria, I’m so sorry that I left you alone! I shouldn’t have done that!” She wailed as she bawled her eyes out, hugging me tighter. “I was so scared when you went missing!”I gulped quietly as I pulled her away. I had forgotten about Lenalee during my biggest mistake and it ridiculed me with regret.Had I succeeded in jumping from the cliff, Lenalee would bring her regret for the rest of her life.Oh Hati, what have I done?“No,” I shook my head. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Lenalee. I just left without
Was that another sarcasm on his part or was he testing the waters? Either way I felt my body tremble after he stared at me. Unconsciously biting my lower lip, my eyes darted away from his stare as I wasn’t sure how I could respond to that. Yet, after releasing that declaration, Varick wasn’t patient for my reply as his finger raised my chin, forehead touched mine as he leaned to claim my lips for the second time. His hot breath closer to my lips made my face turn pale. “W-Wait!” I wasn't aware that my hand moved on its own as it smacked his face, shoving him to have more space between us. My eyes widened, realizing what I had done because I could see the glimpse of his eyes flickered with annoyance. I knew I tested his patience. His hand grabbed my wrist and I gave an involuntary squeak and looked away once more, bracing myself for a slap or a punch… …Or he gave up the idea and tackled me on the bed and gave those violent, powerful thrusts. But instead, I felt his lips touch t
Whenever I woke up, I was always left alone on the bed without my husband in sight. He usually had gone somewhere while I was eating breakfast and returned at night to do our nightly intercourse. It has been a normal occurrence.However, waking up today was different. My body was sore, and I groaned as my lower part throbbed uncomfortably. I couldn’t even get up as I was even tired after waking up. What surprised me the most was as I opened my eyes, the sight of Varick was next to me. He was in a deep slumber. Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow himself to put his arm around my waist while our heated skin touched. My cheeks flared up as I moved and turned my back against him. And the recollection of last night's events unfolded in my mind.How long had we been doing it? I lost count as we were both drowned with passionate lust that felt so different from those previous nights. Was it because we finally accepted that we were mates? I didn’t know how our conversations ended up with this.
Thankfully, Lenalee showed up right after his proposal and asked Phineas to excuse himself as I need to get properly dressed. A sigh of relief released from my lips as I didn’t want to stay naked during this conversation. “What’s the difference? Dressed or not, I have no intention of touching you, Luna. Even I know my limits of angering the Alpha.” As he said those words, Lenalee started preaching the mage before he finally conceded. “Fine, it would be a waste of time arguing over a trifle matter.” He walked out and waited outside as he promised. Now, alone with Lenalee, I turned to her as she gave me a worried look. “It would be best if we ask him to leave and wait for Lord Varick to return. Don’t you think so, my lady?” She asked. “No, it’s best I continue speaking to him as soon as I get dressed.” I paused for a bit, a thought came to my mind. “It would be preferable if we speak alone, Lenalee. I would prefer if you could accompany him to the tearoom and make him wait there.”
“One of the vendors?” A person came to my mind. And my intuition was telling me it had to be her. “Do you mean that this was because of me?”“Whatever the reason is, Lord Varick probably found out anything that could cause harm to you.”Oh no. I stood up, worry and anxiety was shown and my finger touched my trembled lower lip. “I need to get there as soon as possible.”“Going on foot would be too late. And turning into a wolf would rouse Lord Varick’s anger.”“Then, I don’t mind taking his anger out on me.” I turned my heel, ready to transform until the High Mage grabbed my wrist.“Worry not, I will get you there,” he said with a casual-like tone.“How–?” Suddenly the floor where we were situated shone bright red and our bodies were emitting with a strange light.I couldn't react before we vanished from the tea room and we were now in a new familiar environment.I gaped at Phineas. Teleportation was a rare spell.“Well, consider yourself lucky that teleportation happened to be my s
When we arrived at the house, Lenalee almost dropped the tray of the tea set before she looked back at the direction of the tea room and at me. I could only give her a weak smile and I had a mental note to myself to fill her in the details as soon as we were alone for a chat. "You may leave early."Confused with his words, Lenalee didn't have the time to speak as Varick pulled me away and headed to the bedroom. When the door was closed, Varick shoved me to the door, making me gasp, flinching with a slight sting of the impact.Next thing I knew, soft lips devoured mine as my eyes widened at the sudden affection."W-wait!" I tried to pull myself from the kiss but he held my head, trapping me between the door surface and his body as his tongue entered into my mouth, exploring its cavern.I unintentionally released a moan as he enticed my tongue to another dance but instead he deepened the kiss as he sucked my tongue with his mouth."Hng!" I wrapped my arms in an embrace after feeling t
The aroma of sex filled the entire room as my half-lidded eyes fluttered open. My hips did lazy, frenzied downward thrusts on the bed as silent moans and whimpers were visibly heard. Below me, Varick was holding my waist, encouraging me to continue to please him. And seeing his genuine expressions of pleasure made me yearn to see them more.Now I was no longer in a trance and my eyes wandered to the sky outside. The vast sky is shrouded with gray clouds as drops of rain pour heavily outside. When did it rain? In fact, how long did we do this that it was already evening? The room was dim and if it weren’t for the faint lights of the houses below, the whole place would be pitch black. I had realized we didn’t take a break to light the fireplace. Waves of pleasure continued striking my body that felt endless and thus, we lost track of time.The darkness made it more…exciting that our other senses heightened from just the sounds, our touches and the feeling of being connected.He ram
Warning: implied sexual child abuseVarick’s POVI despised the thought of resting. It is the time when I’m the most vulnerable that anyone could easily slit my throat. So, I’ve always trained myself to be wary of my surroundings even when my consciousness drifted to its slumber.But it wasn’t what ticked me off. Rather, I wouldn’t mind being killed in my sleep if anyone dared to do so. It was the dreams that continue to haunt me. Dreams of old realities that I locked in my memories.Sometimes I dreamt of the time of that night after my marriage with Rosaria. Bounded by fate that I couldn’t escape, I thrusted my anger and self-loathing into her while I forcibly took her chastity. Anger on the fate given to me as I would die an inevitable death and to everything else that happened before the revelation.As soon as I poured my first seed into her unwilling womb, she murmured something under her breath and I pulled her away, catching a glimpse of her lifeless eyes before I stormed out o
“PHINEAS!”The sound of my voice reached his ears like a thunderclap, making him jump from his seat. The moment I entered his tent, his robes were drenched and stained with red wine. “Have I called you at the most inopportune timing?” I shouldn’t have asked, seeing Phineas in a foul mood, I knew I shouldn’t bother him at this hour. Seeing bottles of alcohol on the table, he had been drinking the entire time. He squeezed the bottom part of his robes while continuing to glare at me.“What?” It must be the alcohol talking but his cheeks were flushed red—but then again, it could be because his anger pointed directly to my direction. “Sorry, Phineas but it would be great if I could speak to you alone. Could we teleport somewhere else?” I whispered as I glanced at the tent outside, hearing the voices of gossiping women and children playing around didn’t give us any privacy at all.He immediately noticed the change of my expression and despite overdosing with alcohol, he recovered to sobr
It took them months before they took all of their Skollist pack members and hid them all in the large grotto where they knew they were safe. Just as suspected, more of the nuclear bombs dropped from the sky and directly to their vicinity and the area was nothing but a wasteland. Nearby packs and other races had long fled from their homes from the toxic fumes reaching their territory and begged to move across the borders and away from the war. But the Red Moon Pack wouldn’t give a damn. They only wanted what they were meant to do in the first place: To eliminate Skoll’s descendant along with his pack.And so, all hid in the grottos, the swamps and the forests hidden from the human eye. And they feared the worst that the more they threw those “bombs” into their land, the lesser chance of making the area inhabitable. The Skollist wolves had gone defiant that some had gone rogue and begged the wolves across the border to enter—only to reach their demise as they were kil
"Do you actually believe that elf, my lord?" Perturbed by the events, Herschel asked the second time after they departed. They walked back to the grotto whereas the elf known as Verona embarked a quiet journey back home. "Whether I believed her or not, the fact that the atomic bomb was true. If they strike again, most likely they will strike our kingdom first."And there would be no pack to protect if all failed. "These bombs…even this is beyond my expertise," he murmured, apprehensively. "What must we do to stop the bombs, my lord?""Humans are aware that they do not wish to interfere with magical beings and their affairs. They are supported by the Red Moon Pack. If we kill its Alpha, they have no reason to attack us."For now.“What about this human bard she spoke so highly of? Why did he save us, my lord?”Varick's lips pursed yet his feet didn't stop heading back to the grotto. All of his years, the Alpha of the Skollist pack often speaks with his mind. When he
It had been twenty minutes and there wasn't any progress in healing the mages. Their burns and their exposure to the explosion had been too difficult to heal them, let alone those who were unwilling to be touched by me. In fact, I couldn't as the chemicals and toxic scent might be contagious. So, Phineas and I made a wind barrier to avoid spreading the toxin around the pack. Yet, even so, I had to hurry or else the rest of the soldiers' lives would reach their inevitable end unless I made haste. "Please…let me die…" These agonizing words continued repeating in between their groans. Yet, I continued chanting the Holy Lycan spells, avoiding a single second of distraction as I tried to repair the soft tissues of their burned skin. Yet, fixing a charred skin to its original form would take hours for a single man. I started to doubt I could save them all. 'No, I shouldn't think like this! These men deserved to live!' I thought as a trail of sweat irritated my eye as I continued
Hello, The book will be on hiatus for the time being. I'm sorry, readers but I will return once I've sorted some stuff soon. Stuff happening lately and I didn't want to write something that wouldn't be interesting for all of you. Thus, I would like to take a break for a while. However, the update will be staggering and I won't be updating daily like before. I hope that's all right. I love this book but for the time being with the burn out I'm feeling, I'd rather pause and continue once everything is fine. Once again, thanks for your support for reading this book. Sincerely, Aly Wrights
“Phineas, send us there now!” Yet, Phineas stood there, petrified like his eyes stared at the smoke before him. I grabbed his shoulder and violently shook him to regain his senses. “We have no time, Phineas! Varick is—!”“No, we can’t.”At first, his cold voice surprised me before I glared at him. “Why not? We are the healers, aren’t we?!”Phineas turned to glare at me. “Luna, don’t let your emotions sway your decision! You can use your canine senses, right?!”As soon as he mentioned it, I sensed it. The scent was faint yet I could recognize it so well. I didn’t realize the lingering smell of a mixture of decaying bodies and toxins around the area. It made my stomach churned as I knelt on the ground.I rushed to a nearby bush and vomited. I was holding my breath for too long and when I came to my senses, the scent was so agonizing that I knelt down and threw up.“I can’t risk you going there, Luna. You are carrying the heir of the Skollist pack and something tells me coming closer w
Varick clenched his fists as he glowered.Some of his men stepped back as their wolves whimpered.This was supposed to be a surprise attack, yet, why were they the ones surprised.In Varick's mind, someone–within the pack–relayed a message of their incoming strike.It wasn’t common to have his own men betray him in exchange for being spared from death. Yet, none were successful to ever live after the betrayal. "This will be the day we will kill you, Varick!" Cassius, the Alpha of Blue Fangs bellowed. Varick didn't respond as he threw out his sword and shield, making the enemy side "think" he surrendered.No, wolves who personally fought him knew that his armor was more of a disability of his. And now, the Alpha decided to strip himself off his armor, showing his chiseled body with his battle scars.The enemy packs roared in laughter."Surrendering yourself naked? I see the Neanderthal finally learned to give up!" One of the betas commented. Herschel gave a ghost of
They had finally arrived at the gated vicinity of the Red Moon Pack. They camped within the grotto within the waterfall as it was a great place for their hidden base. The pack also removed every trace of their tracks behind. Horses were situated outside the grotto and three of the troops acted as guards and feeders for the stallions. The tents were placed as their temporary residing station.It was at night time when they arrived and they lit a bonfire inside. They made sure the vicinity was being protected by the High Mage's magic barrier to avoid tracing their scent. All men, weary from moving on foot, sat on the ground as they were waiting for the Alpha to make his speech. As they knew this war would be the first they decided to strike. In the past battles, a fight between them and the other packs happened when the outsider decided to strike them first. Now with the successful invasion and the innocent lives died through an unknown cause, in their minds, st
