ASTRID.“Juniper?” I call out when I see her coming out of Zeke’s room, I don’t get why she’s ignoring me now, it’s been days now and we haven’t even spoken.She walks faster and pays no attention to me, the stab in my chest is painful, being cast aside is what I have always hated. “Juni!” I run after her, hoping she would stop striding faster, if anything, it only makes her walk faster in the hall. “Just stay and hear me out.” She doesn’t even listen, her legs grazing the tile faster than ever.“Wait.” I call out, but even my throat feels dry.Mrs. Perry appears in front of me, hands etched on her hips. Dark eyes stare back at me. Oh great, what does she want?She doesn't even move out of the way, her body blocking my view, now I am sure that Juniper is out of view.Anger fills me, but I don’t show it, showing it means more punishment, besides. Mrs. Perry and I are not friendly to each other.“What?” I ask, feeling irritated.“Is that how you talk to me now?” She clicks her tongue i
ZEKE.Anger pricks at my skin. Honestly, coming to this dark underground makes me feel as though I am at the end of the road.“Gus, this better be good, else....You will be getting punished.” I grit my teeth as I follow him into the path that leads to the treasure room, honestly, I am not in charge of this fucking shit, Logan is. So, I don’t know why I am here.“Do you ever keep quiet?” Logan hisses under his breath, the path we are going into is dim, barely light from the tiny cuffed windows.“And, do you ever use your mouth for something good?” I almost actually want to punch his face, why Gus brought us here is still undecided. Even now, as we walk through the path of the treasure room, I think about her. Her body is filling my vision.It’s hard to fucking breath just by thinking about her.Gus jostled the key into the hole, and led us into the cold room, air whooshes through my lungs as I stared around. Everything is in place, Logan’s already walking towards the other side.“Why a
ASTRID.I lay on my bed, watching the way blood oozed out of my palms. I am glad that Juniper is safe now, probably lying on her bed, still unconscious.Something disturbs me, if I could turn into my wolf form and fight off that wolf, why couldn’t Juni? Does she not have a wolf? Now, that I think of it. Juniper has never mentioned her wolf before, even though constantly I have told her mine is named Aya.The blood trickles down onto the bed-sheet, my body still hurts, but since I am of Alpha bloodline, it will heal within a few days.The door barges open and I see a broad shoulder dangling at the door. My eyes snap up that instant and I sit up, dark eyes like the deep ocean stares back at me.“Astrid.” His yell fills my ears, and I whimper because of the pain that shoots through me. He kneels, legs on the floor and stares at my hand.“What the fuck happened to you?” His voice is angry enough to almost send my eyes moistening with tears.I shrugged. “It’s no big deal.”“No big deal? Yo
LOGAN.Why?I don’t ever get obsessed with someone; even the moon goddess knows that. Aside from my mother, whom I have loved ever so much, and Madam Yv, a little bit of my brother, though sometimes, I still feel like smashing his face. And Gus, I don’t think I have become obsessed with someone before.Until she came stumbling into my life, her blonde hair never seemed to leave my memories, even as far as I pushed, they came back, ten times bigger. Fuck. I am getting obsessed with her.Two years ago, I had literally prayed to the moon goddess never to grant me a mate. Last time I recalled, I was comfortable living with the single feeling. I didn’t like the thought of getting attached to someone and watching them just fucking leave.I thought those men were fucking idiots for getting attached, and now. I guess I am becoming one of them.Damn. I want to see her face every day, I want to ask her everyday if she’s okay, if she ate well, if she slept well. But no, I don’t fucking get any c
ASTRID.His dark eyes reek of no innocent, just by staring at those frosting pupils; I feel like I am wandering into another world, there’s something about those eyes that is like a mystery.As much as I want to unlock it, I just can’t. I try to reach for it, but a magnetic force pulls me back. In those dark eyes, I can’t even tell what he’s thinking or trying to think.I try so badly to connect with his mind-link. I flap around in darkness as usual, but I want to reach it, determination strikes me, I flap around with much strength but a force pulls me back, a headache surfaces.Just a little closer...I am thrown to the floor. Fuck.He stares at me with no words, before pulling his hand forward. When I grab his, it feels so cold and electrifying, I stand up, but my muscles still hurt.“Don’t do that again, Astrid.” There’s a cold tone at the edge of his voice.Aya snaps up. “I am your mate.” Your fucking mate, I have every right to try and communicate with you, why is just me? Why ca
ZEKE.Last night's event comes to my memory again.The chicken soufflé makes my stomach knot. All I can think about is her. Just fucking her.“Zeke!” Madam Yv calls out, before rubbing her forehead anxiously. “Tell us what’s going on, you never pick at your food.” She turns towards Logan who’s beside me. He just shrugged.These are the days I have breakfast with Madam Yv, Logan and Gus, these are the days I don’t like.“Yes. Zeke. Why don’t you be a pretty boy and tell us what’s going on?” Logan says in a girl voice, before picking up the mug, making sure to give me a smug look.I drop the spoon on the table, “I think there are almonds in this food. I think I will just pass.”Logan’s dark eyes meet mine, sometimes I fear that he can read past me. “We are both allergic to almonds, and so far. I am not on the floor choking and dying.”This is the time that I want to fucking break his nose. I shoot him a glare.“You fucking bastard-” I grit my teeth. “No. No, we both know that there’s n
CLEO. “What do you mean the Alpha can’t have lunch with me?” I ask angrily, my eyes snapping over to the Omega who bows her head in front of me. I tap the edge of my seat impatiently, my voice hard. “I am sorry, but the Alpha is currently at a meeting with the council.” “What of Alpha Logan?” I ask. “He’s also currently busy as well.” I roll my eyes at her, before gesturing for her to leave; her apologies are starting to make me sick. Oh just fucking great, well it seems like I will have to postpone my plans, but it seems like that Alpha does not look interested in me. I grit my teeth together; He needs to be interested in me for my plan to work. Who won’t be interested in me? Yesterday, I already bid goodbye to my father, he is an Alpha, and he has a pack to keep away from my playboy brothers’ hands. I sigh, my hands stroking the necklace that dangles between my chest, the book I took from the treasure room still sits on the reading table, it’s not yet time to open it, it belon
ZEKE.I am sitting in my office, still mulling about my present state of life, the window stares back at me, a can of beer sits on the table, but right now, it’s as though I don’t itch for that.My body itch for something- or rather someone, someone whose mouth is too sharp, someone who I dream about every fucking day.The room feels chilling, and for a minute I look around, maybe expecting to see her, what a fool I am.The door chimes open and Gus walks in with a stack of folders, he places them on the table with a thud. “Here.”My head is throbbing hard. “Do I really have to stamp all this?” I am annoyed. “Can’t Logan do all this? Besides, where is Logan?”Gus scratches his head, his face morphed into an apologetic smile. “I have no idea, but presently, he’s as swamped as you are.”I sigh, staring at the papers that lined up the table. Now everything just feels so hard, with the present threat of the pack, the council’s constant complaining and finally, Astrid.I just want to forget
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
