ZEKE.The morning sun gleams from the window down to my face, my eyes suddenly peeling into the room, I crouch my brows before shaking my head. My hands are lazily draped around Astrid’s waist, for a moment, everything stilled.What if things could be like this? What if I could wake up without this whole responsibility on my shoulder? What if it was just me and her, I was a normal person in the pack, just coming home after work.What if things were like that and not like this? I sighed, I stared down at her body pressed against mine, heat vibrating through me. Thousands of thoughts ran through my mind last night about how she would be feeling when she found out about Juniper.That was why I came here to her room, to make sure everything was alright. I would never forgive myself if anything was wrong with her. I would burn the world, and make sure there was nobody except us. I stand up from the bed, gently enough not to wake her up. I perform my morning routines, before putting on a s
CLEO.The horse’s feet grind with the mushy floor when I give it a hard tap.“Hey. Can’t you move a little faster?” I yell, the wind smacking my face roughly, as the horse rattles faster.The horse neighs uncomfortably, I guess it doesn’t like me. The horse gallops faster, while I tap the reins as it goes into the town and down to a particular house.When the horse stops, I descend down the horse and give the white horse a tap.“Now, I want you to stay here and not move until I am done.” Not sure it can hear me, but anyways. “Stay. S-T-A-Y.”The horse gazes at me uncomfortably while flashing me an annoyed look. I sighed, the horses at the pack-house are really damn rude, I turned before walking towards the cottage, and I didn't need to be told before I pushed the door open.Juniper stares up at me from her book, she’s seated on a worn out couch, a cup of whatever that is placed on the table, her eyes are brimming red, looks like she had spent another hour crying. When will this girl u
ASTRID.“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I ask, while Diva pulls me along. We are walking towards the shopping store. Earlier, Diva had suggested we go shopping to ease out the stress, honestly I don’t know how shopping reduces stress for her, but let’s see what we have in store.“It’s going to be so fun.” She laughed, before opening the door of the clothing store, the expensive aroma of the place hit me hard. For a moment I stopped and breathed in, allowing myself to savor the familiar fragrant smell I have missed for five good years. My mother and I used to go shopping a lot, remembering those moments brought a smile to my face.She would be so happy seeing me here, I just wished she was here with me that would have made me excited. “Okay, Girl. What are we getting that’s going to make our men die out of beauty?” Diva pulls me along towards the rack of clothes, her bursting energy radiating around making me want to smile too.It’s been a whole day and I haven’t seen Juniper, the
ZEKE.Honestly, whoever invited Preston to come join our meeting made a mistake, he’s so annoying and he won’t ever keep his mouth, for instance, like right now.Preston places a hand on his chest in a dramatic expression. “Wait, wait, wait. You mean like she threatened you, and if you don’t do what she said, she’s going to hurt your mother?”“Yes. Dude, so just please shut up.” I say angrily, before turning back to Gus who seemed to be rubbing his palms anxiously, we are in Logan’s office, seated round the table. The news sent waves to my system. I can't believe that Cleo is not that goody-goody princess we all expect her to be.And, we- maybe I know that she’s not here just to marry me, because she likes me, she wants something, something much more. But, what is it?Logan pins Preston down with a cold glare, the bandage is still wrapped around his shoulder and once in a while he cringes in pain, his healing is taking much longer than I expected, we always heal faster, but why is his
ZEKE.“You are crazy.” I say, before taking a step backward. My eyes blaze with fire, my hand twisting into a hard fist. The thought of rejecting Astrid makes me grow crazy.I stare at the red-haired woman with angry eyes. “Leave this instant!”“Sorry, Alpha, but I am not going anywhere.” She says in a sing-song voice that irritates me, her face turns dangerous. “You never even marked her. Did you?”I am taken aback by her cold words, how the fuck did she know that?She laughs, and I can feel the disdain in her voice. She jiggles her body over to me, before placing a hand on my bulging bicep. “I know everything. Zeke.” The way she pronounces my name is in a hiss.How much did this woman know? About my pack? About everything?“I will give you time to think about it, because if you don’t reject her, then your pretty blonde unmarked vixen will get hurt, badly hurt, and trust me. There’s nothing you can do. Do you understand me?” Her words are cold, each sentence slicing through my skin.
ASTRID.Earlier,“Diva? Are you sure this is a good idea?” I stare at the long length mirror, my hands strapping at the edge of my short red gown. In the mirror, my eyes burn with so much intensity.Goddess, I can’t believe I am about to do this.Diva appears from the bathroom in her room, a toothbrush on her mouth. She’s wearing her night sweat pants, considering we are in her bedroom. “Yes, girl. Toughen up that chin of yours, and have the best night of your life.”I bite my lips, is this really a good idea? Did I make a mistake by letting Diva talk me into this?Diva has dressed me up in the clothes we brought in the clothing store, apparently, Diva thinks I should just storm into Zeke’s room and have the best night of my life.I pull around the edges, the red thong underneath making me feel sexy, I bite my lips harder. Can I really do this? I want this, my body aches for his touch ever so badly. I want him, ever so badly.“Go on girl.” Diva ushers me out of her room, her eyes twin
JUNIPER.‘He was mine, and I was. Our worlds were different, but somehow it managed to collide, and together. We formed something so beautiful...’I snapped the book shut, feeling the air whooshed out of me. I have finally completed the romance novel that Cleo brought for me in order not to be bored.I guess there’s only a reason I like romance novels, they always have their happy ever after, the sweet love that forms between them, the adventure and even the long race they conquer together before getting their happy-ever-after is what makes those novels special, but now, as I lie on the bed in this little house, staring up at the ceiling. I wonder if my happy ever was ever even guaranteed.I sighed, then grunted, the stir of my stomach reminding me that I didn’t have lunch, it’s night now, and I am alone in this room, in this world where nothing seems to be working out.There’s a bang on the door and my heart jumps in fright. I stand up from the little bed before making my way towards
ZEKE.I am thinking about Astrid again, I am getting obsessed about her; I want her, every bit of her, every fucking day. I want to hear her laughter, I want to see her angry face, and I just want all of her.I am such a fool.‘She’s your mate.’ My wolf, Rochan purrs in satisfaction.I sighed, she’s still in my room sleeping after our long night of awesomeness, Goddess, I want to relive that every day. I flip the papers of the transactions, the morning sun gleaming from the white tinted glass in my office.My morning coffee sits elegantly on the table, but I am not in the mood for caffeine right now, I desire something else, and she’s in my room.Fuck, she’s making me go crazy. Over the last few days, there has not been any letter from that unknown person anymore and I wonder why, to me it sounds suspicious. I still have that inkling feeling that something’s wrong.I massaged my forehead, suddenly feeling tired, leaning on the chair. I just stared around the whole room decor. The door
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
