ZEKE.I like having breakfast alone, because it makes me think about everything, but having breakfast with my brother and Madam Yv is like a living hell.Madam Yv pops the dumpling into her mouth, “The Alpha’s daughter is coming today.” She stares between Logan and I with that mischievous glint of hers, sometimes I wonder how she and my mother were best friends.“She is.” Logan replies calmly, his sticks twisting the noodles.“I can’t wait to see which of you she is going to pick, I hope she has a fine taste of sexy, because my boys are going to be the center of attention today.” She smiles wistfully.“Madam Yv.” Logan says, ears heating. “There are some things you shouldn’t say at your age.”“What?” Her lips parted apart, and she laughed. “Age doesn’t define anything, I can say anything I want, sexy or not.”Logan sighed and murmured something like ‘Oh goddess, please help her.’ and took a sip out of the tea. Again, I am thinking about her, those fine lips, structured collarbones, sh
ASTRID.Omegas have the right to do the same things that other werewolves do: Their job isn’t always to clean, to be like a maid, we have lives too and we can’t live it constantly trying to please other people.So, when Mrs. Perry told us we were going to be working our butts off at the party, I fumed. While everyone was busy chatting and drinking, we would be the one passing off the drinks, if I were the Alpha, maybe I would change the rules a bit.“It’s not a bad thing.” Juni says, smiling weakly. “We could snuggle some drinks along the way.”Juniper is the one who likes to obey and do: I rebel and don’t do.I was passing the drinks to the Gamma’s daughter when the announcer blew the trumpet. Like everyone, I focused my eyes on the door, eager to get a glance, even though she isn’t here yet, I wished she wasn’t.She could just go, and I would be glad, but she’s coming, it creates a tug in my heart to even see her.‘Is it because of Zeke?’ My wolf, Aya, calls out.‘Shut up.’ I tell h
ASTRID.All this while, he was my mate, possession kicks in, obsession follows, I growl towards no one in particular, I feel Aya begging to be let loose, to claim what is hers.“Astrid!” Juni’s worried voice echo throughout the room, someone’s eyes are following me, and I know that it’s Logan, but I don’t care, none of that matters right now, all I want to see is my mate.The moment I reach their presence, the Alpha’s daughter stares at me with a bewildered expression.I feel pain, the next moment, I fall to the floor, Mrs. Perry’s presence hovered across my vision, before I knew it, she kicked me.“How dare you?” She yells, “Claim to be his mate, I have told you not to do that, you are crazy!”“Stop.” Zeke says calmly from behind, it’s like everywhere goes silent, no one speaks again, as though they are waiting for him to speak.Pain gravities through me, my eyelids blinking away the tears that shielded my eyes, no. I won’t cry, tears are for the weak, and I am not weak. My body is s
ZEKE.I was there that night, in her bedroom, seated on the stool, watching her face rise and fall, her brows pinched into a frown, like darkness is leading me into light, but it becomes my choice, do I want to follow that light, or do I want to sink into darkness?She’s my mate. The thought almost makes me insane, but staring at her calm expression, that smile hanging on her lips while she slept. She looked really happy even in her sleep. Even after everything that has happened to her, she still looks happy.I just sat there under the dim light for only goddess knows how long watching her, trying to feel her, trying to trust her. I took the picture I had found in my father’s study out and examined the photo. I stare at her parents in the photo, standing beside mine. She really got her father’s smile, so free and warm, her father’s golden eyes that stared outside the picture.Truly, she’s the Alpha, and I wonder how bad she will feel. Does she wish for another time for her parents? Do
ZEKE.I don’t want to talk to my brother right now. Our relationship together is great, but sometimes, he annoys me and I want to punch the living hell out of him.We go into the garden little house and sit, he’s not even carrying a bottle of whiskey. I sigh and rap my knuckles together, my body aching for alcohol.“I really have to go.” I say, stressing each word. He stares at me with an amused brow, something shifting in his mood, I can feel that he is angry, hell I feel it every time.“She is your mate.” He says dryly, is that a question or a statement?“Yes.” There’s something cold in his tone, but I don’t shift further. Honestly, I don’t have time to have this kind of conversation with my brother, it might result in a fight, and I am not ready to be pumping fists early in the morning.“She can’t be your mate!” His anger explodes, Logan can’t keep his anger, I guess it’s one of the things that make us different: I can resist, and hold on. He just can’t.“She is.” I reply calmly, a
ASTRID.My mind is filled with different thoughts as I step into the kitchen. It doesn’t help that everyone's eyes are on me, I can almost picture what their mind is thinking about.‘Oh look at her, she thinks she’s mated to the Alpha.’ ‘Isn’t she pathetic? He definitely is going to reject her sooner or later!’None of their hushed comments even seem to faze me at all, my eyes search for Juniper, I see her talking to an Omega with a flushed face, her white face not crimson red.I walk over to them. “Hey. Juni.”The Omega looks at me weirdly, before shifting away from me, as though I am like someone to be avoided, when she steps away, Juni gives me a weak smile.“Sorry.” She whispered over to me, her brown eyes itching with apology, she spread her arms out, and I hugged her, she felt safe, it is as though whenever I am near her, I feel safe.She leans on the counter and purses her lips together. “So, he’s your mate?”“Unfortunately, yes.” I shrugged and said like it was no big deal, b
ASTRID.The rage I feel is what makes me go to the courtyard at the west wing of the pack-house, no one comes to this courtyard much, when I reach there, it’s empty.There’s a sword lying on the floor, I pick it up and twisting it around, feeling the rage once again.“How dare they?” I mutter angrily, taking a step forward, swinging the heavy sword. It felt just like yesterday that I practiced with my father. I was never tired, always saying I would be the first best female Alpha, but all of that now feels cliché.It feels like nothing is real anymore, like I was never real to begin with, I sighed, moving closer.Somebody emerges from the shadow, his gray eyes seem lighter now, or do I just assume?“Astrid. Seems like you need some help.” Logan says, and he picks up the other sword without warning.Why is he always everywhere I am?I really don’t want to train with him, I want to be alone and discover my mother’s powers, but I gave him a weak smile and found myself saying. “Sure, you
ZEKE.I wanted to stay at the estate, whenever I went there, I always stayed for two days or such, but something was prompting me to go back to the pack-horse, so I saddled Goliath and here I am.In a place where everyone is desperate for other things.The moment Gus took my cloak in the hall, I asked. “How’s everything?”“With your mate, you mean.” He responded dryly, but then he smiled. I never knew the problem with Gus. “She’s great.”We heard yelling, Gus told me not to bother and go to my room, but I did bother, walking over to the kitchen, I saw that pack-keeper jabbing a finger at my mate.My Mate.“Step away from her.” I growl to everyone present, they huddled closer, giving me space. Mrs. Perry stared at me with widened eyes, I don’t know what’s up with this woman.Astrid looks up at me with an unreadable expression, her golden eyes trailing me. She doesn’t say anything, just takes up the tray on the counter.“I can handle this myself, I don’t need your help.” She whispers, h
Thank you for following me throughout Astrid and Zeke’s story, they finally got their happy ever after! Though I am not sure whether to write about Leora and Hendrix’s story, they had a wild start throughout the story, if you want to hear about their story, you can do well to let me know in the comments and I will consider the possiblity of a sequel about Leor, Leora and Hendrix when they are all grown up.Please check out my other werewolf romance book, ‘Fated To Her Ruthless Alpha,’ and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Love,Rae-Rae.
LEORA.Age-16It’s been ten years since I last saw him. It’s funny how time flies so fast, one time I was just a little girl with a loving brother and a best-friend and now, I am getting ready to receive my acceptance letter into the academy.My family, especially my overprotective brother, Leor doesn’t want me searching for Hendrix; they say the past is all in the past. But, I need to see him; I need to see the ten year old boy who saved the six year old me. It’s like every time I close my eyes, I am transported back to that day, the contempt in his eyes when he looked at me was unmatched. My family killed his mother because they were trying to protect me, but every day I am secretly searching for him. I still wear the ruby necklace everywhere, anytime I rub the edges, it reminds me of him.How does he look now? How does he act? Will he still remember me? Does he still hate me? I will keep trying to search for him and when I see him, there’s countless things I want to say to him
ASTRID.I watch with widened eyes as Freya turns, but Zeke is gliding the knife into her back. She lets out a tortured scream, falling to her knees as blood gathers around her dark dress.My daughter is right here, safe with me. Hendrix yells loudly, rushing towards his mother, we all stare as he crouches to her level and cup her chin.“Mother?” He says fearfully, “Mother, you are bleeding. We have to get you to the hospital, please now. Mother, you can’t leave me.”“My sweet Hendrix, they took everything away from us. They killed me, they are the enemy, revenge my death.” She closes her eyes slowly, and Hendrix yells painfully, his hands covered in her blood.Freya is on the floor, unmoving. We did it, we killed her, and now, she won’t hurt anybody again.Slowly, Hendrix rises to his knees. “You killed her,” He mumbles darkly, “You killed my mother! I won’t let you get away with this, never.”It breaks my heart to say this, but I have to. “Arrest him.” I turn towards the guard, it’s
ZEKE.I am already barging out of the door.I have a son.I have a daughter.I have children, and I never knew about them for seven fucking years, that’s a lot of gap. I am a father, the more I say it out loud, the more it gets harder to believe. And now my daughter is missing.Preston follows behind us, and Astrid is beside me. I can’t even bring myself to look at her, but for now. I have to make sure my daughter is safe.“What’s going on in the hall?” I ask Preston as we walk hastily towards the hall.“I don’t know. A woman with dark hair is here and she wants to see you, we already moved everyone to the courtyard including Leor, though he seems very concerned. The woman is waiting for you in the hall.” Preston says.I open the door of the hall and what I see makes my mouth run dry, a woman with dark hair wearing a cocktail dress is nails deep into a man’s chest. I watch, frozen, how she sinks her nails into the person’s chest and squeezes the person’s heart. The person’s body pales
ASTRID.It’s the day. The day where vows are taken, the day that two people choose to love each other, in sickness and in everything. The day that changes everything.The pack-house is bustling with Omegas getting the wedding hall ready, Madam Yv and Gus’ mother are giving instructions for the wine and caviar. I have a feeling that they are going to get pretty drunk today, well I doubt so. This is Diva’s wedding. Everyone has been looking forward to it.Nothing is supposed to ruin the happy day except I had a dream overnight about the wedding, blood, knife stabs, running. It was so blurry to see and then I woke up, not even understanding a thing.“Mommy!” Leora’s sweet voice bounces me out of my thoughts. I look at my daughter who is now running towards me, her pink jittery dress flowing, my baby girl is the flower girl. When she reaches me, her brown hair is pinned in pigtails, her light blue eyes watch me.I am fascinated by the resemblance between her and her father, Zeke. Right, t
LOGAN.If someone told me that being with somebody could spark this much reaction out of me, I would have smacked them right in the face, because I always feel like I can generate happiness by doing lots of things that did not involve mingling with people.But, this sort of happiness...The one that hits so differently, people say love comes in tiny bits, but this love just hits me like a shockwave and now, as I look at Juniper, I know that there’s nobody I will rather spend my life with than this woman over here. “Hey, Logan?” She asks, swinging her hands that are entwined in mine. I don’t like petty things, such as holding hands, but as long as it’s Juni, I don’t really mind. We are walking hand in hand along the sea, earlier; she suggested we go for a walk just to calm ourselves down. “Yes, Juni?” I ask back and she grins, and I swear, this woman can make my heart squeeze just by smiling, she lights up my world. She brings out the sunshine in my darkness. The sky is just beginning
GUS.It’s one thing to open the door and see someone you actually know and the other to open the door to Cleo. What’s she doing here? Is the first question that comes to mind.She never comes here, so why is she here suddenly?I can’t deny the fact that my lips feel dry to the core. “Yes,” My voice comes out lamely as I stretch open the door and watch her step into the villa. I can’t deny the fact that her perfume wafts into my nostrils as she passes by.I lead her to the living room, “You can have a seat. Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea? Biscuits?”She sits down, staring around in wonder, but then her eyes soften, “I am okay, thanks.”I take a seat beside her, trying my best to create distance between us on the couch. She senses this and her face falls. I shouldn’t be doing this, letting her in the house is a red flag. If Zeke walks in right now, he will send her sprawling out, but considering the fact that I am the only here in the house, I should just hear her out.I want closure,
CLEO.Katherine stares out the window, looking dazed, whenever we come to coffee shops, she always picks the seat near the window. One time I tried asking her about it, and her reply shocked me.“Staring out the window at the numerous people passing by is just calming, you see someone walk by, but you don’t know what they are going through, I try to imagine the pain they are carrying about.” She had said.There are two mugs of coffee, barely untouched, and a plate of two grilled turkey sandwiches. Katherine has eaten a part of hers, but mine is untouched. I just don’t feel like eating, maybe because the anticipation that’s curling in the pit of my stomach is enough to make me weak.We are waiting for two more people, they are always late, I don’t know why but it just irks me when people come late.The door chimes and Katherine’s eyes bob towards the entrance, Kai walks in, he’s dressed casually in a t-shirt and sweatpants, he doesn’t bother with the greetings, he just takes the chair
ASTRID.I bite my lips, staring into his darkened blue eyes, I want this so much.“Go down on your knees, baby and take my cock into that gorgeous mouth of yours.” His command runs down my spine and I obey, going down on my knees, I unzip his trousers and take out his cock.Slowly, I slid it down my throat, until I hit the point where my eyes water, I whimper, before falling in length, licking and sucking until I am drenched.“Fuck, baby.” Zeke’s hand digs into my hair and yanks me deeper. “That feels so good,”My body pulses with need, as his groan fills the car, there’s something so powerful in having Zeke Rossi at my mercy, I increase my pace, driving him harder into my mouth, just when I am about to go deeper, he yanks my hair back, pulling me away from him.“You are going to be the end of me,” He mumbles darkly, before pushing me on the leather seat and towering above.“You should have thought of the consequences before putting this dress on tonight,” His hands move to the zipper
