Neerah“it felt so real…” I state, repeating my words dully. “It is just a dream” he murmurs. I don't know why, but today, I just feel sleepy. It was warm, secure, and so incredibly peaceful. So I slept.The next morning, I was surprised to open my eyes to the vision of his face right next to mine. His hands still held me protectively but we were both lying down. I smiled to myself because it felt so normal. I had to think about what it would be like to sleep together, wake up in his arms…“I only stayed because I thought you would wake up crying again” he projected his thoughts to me and I smiled with a gasp involuntarily because it felt so special. I am so loving this…‘don't hold your breath. I forgive you” I return.He opens his eyes and stares at me. I stare back, marveling at the rings in his irises. Rings of different shades of silver. Maybe because the room is dark. But I can see the magnetic quality of his eyes bore through me. I am slowly starting to be aware of the weigh
Neerah“Well, I am not” I refuse. I can't go over the same endless hope and then I will still end up as ordinary Neerah again. It will hurt more and I just can't do it.He touched my face and smiled a little “you! Don't worry about it. I will always have your back regardless of whether you shift or not okay?” He assures.“Yeah okay” I return with a small frown because my mood is shifting again and I am starting to feel depressed. Yet I still want to know who hurt him with Wildsilver..“So, who used Wildsilver to hurt you?” I ask curiously.“A Lycan from Alpha Daren's pack” he replies. I am shocked he didn't evade the answering. Feeling empowered, I ask further “a Lycan? Why does he have Lycans? Aren't they a different breed from werewolves?” I ask.“Someone is funding him and he is carrying out gruesome experiments on his pack grounds. But because trespassing is prohibited in our lands, what he does in his own land is his cup of tea. But times are changing. The Lycans would honestly r
CHAPTER ONE: AN OLD TRADITIONNeerahIt's a large grass field that develops into a dense forest from the south-eastern side of it. The wind blows freely, missing the tension in the atmosphere. It felt like the elements were mocking me today. Ughh…It was a bright sunny day, and now that night rolls by, the stars shine just as brightly in the sky. It's a terrible day for me. One that would decide the next phase of my life.Yes. I know. It sucks to be me but can things not look so freaking cheerful!I am turning eighteen today.Maria, my stepmother would always have loaded words to share.“you will either win or
ALPHA CUAN“Are we going to attend Alpha Knight Riordon's awakening party for his daughter?” Chase, my Beta, asks me just as I relax into the sleek custom made leather seat of my car.“Yes. We should make haste” I commanded.Chase, who has his head by the window nods curtly before going over to his own car to give out instructions.We just returned from a month-long business trip. It was very hectic trying to sign a deal with Nickolas Alfredo. He was such a bastard too. But I like hard working bastards. So there. I am not complaining.I swipe at the screen of my phone, stopping just for a moment to admire Raya's beautiful smile.
NEERAH’S POVI stare blankly at the closed door of our attic. It smells murky like and they forgot to switch on the lights after they had me cuffed.Maria had just left. But even she forgot to switch on the lights. But what she did not forget to do is leave behind a sharp razor blade.She looked at me with a cynical twist of her mouth and she had dropped the warning subtly.“Your father is not a kind man” and she is gone.I stared at the razorblade and smiled a little. I want to let it all go. The angst, the fear, the hopelessness… I am tired of feeling too much for nothing. Nothing will ever Improve.I want to forgi
ALPHA CUAN“Do you think it is true? The wolf cry?” Chase asks curiously.We are driving over to the Lunar Moon pack house towards dawn because I couldn’t wait a moment longer. I fear that Neerah could be in danger. I don’t trust the people around her and everything is so messed up.“The elders have too many tales” I reply curtly. I don’t like worrying about matters that did not even happen. “I was told that strong Alphas would enter a temporary state of peak strength and no one could afford to fight them..” he paused, as if deliberating on which information to reminisce about. “They enter into a perfect harmony with their wolves, reaching a height of dominion others could only dream of…” he goes on to say, pausing as if to prompt a reply out of me. I ignored him still. “It always starts with their eyes. It changes from their original color to red. And for once, the human form embraces the wolf without turning. It is supposed to be fascinating” Chase is being weird again. “The onl
I break the cuff on her wrist and ankle, my anger resurfacing now that she is going to be alright.I yearn so badly to avenge her suffering. I want her to know that I would fight the devil to keep her safe. But… would she even realize the gravity of it all? She doesnt know our ways. These primal feelings might scare her. Perhaps I should shield her from the deepness of it. She is too fragile as it is.I carry her in my arms and walk out the door.“Where is her fucking room?!” I bark angrily into the pack house. I will take her away if they cannot even help with something so puny.Out of nowhere, the Luna comes out to scurry ahead of me pointing ahead of her and saying “this way”I lay her down on her bed and before I demanded it, Chase stood with warm water and a towel. I cleaned her thoroughly before I gave the towel back. He took it and left us alone.I checked her wardrobe and the clothes there are few. It's so openly clear that no one ever took care of her in any way. So I took o
ALPHA CUAN“you seem to have made yourself comfortable in my home Alpha” Alpha Knight sounds reprimanding. I have left Neerah to pack her things so I want to settle with her father before we leave.“Just sign the contract. We don't need to be so chatty” I deadpan.The Alpha seems even more offended. But he seems to have thought it over already and he loves the money above all else now. He wasn't about to waste time calling me out for things he could do without.“Are you sure you want to marry Neerah? She is only human. And Alpha Beret will happily take her. You don't have to feel like you have to marry her because she is your mate” he enticed.“I think it will be better if you shut up” Chase cuts in fearlessly. “Let him dig his grave, Chase. I'll happily bury him!” I menace, the anger suddenly bursting open inside of me, splattering everywhere so that my nerves hurt from the rush of adrenaline. The bastard is hinting at using Neerah again. He would give her up to Alpha Beret just t
