“I'll miss school if we really go out” I announce into the room. Alpha Cuan, who has also kind of dressed in a casual white tee and shorts, puts his phone away and looks at me.

I love the appreciation in his eyes when he took me in. It took away my mind from my scars. The clothes that he chose for me to wear aren't the usual ones for me. The neck is cut a little low and the sleeves are mere spaghetti straps. Of course the clothes have a top and this is why I feel confident wearing it outside. The top will cover everything that the blouse did not.

“I just informed your school that you have a therapy session so you won't make it today” he informs.

“Isn't that a lie?” I ask with a raised brow.

“No. We do have an appointment later. I'll take you there after we return” he explains.

“I really don't need therapy” I mumble.

“You promised to go if I took you there myself. So stop complaining” he dismissed, quickly steering the conversation away by saying “let's go. I have never ca

    Alpha CuanThe northeastern woodlands which our pack grounds is situated in has a bright feel to it today. The sun is extra hot out and I could swear that the trees were greener, the birds are chirping sweetly too. There is a definite melody to it. I realize that our packhouse is beautiful. It's like I am noticing the freshness, and timeless look to it for the first time ever. Why was I always so neutral to such beauty?“What makes you so happy?” Neerah questions behind me. The smile slowly disappeared from my face as I wondered why I was feeling unnecessarily giddy. Clearing my throat, I took in her features at least another one thousandth time today. Oh God! The girl is too pretty for her own good. I can't get over the way her clothes defined every beautiful feature that makes Neerah so unique. Mating bond or not, I can't ever deny that she is so beautiful. It felt right to just stare honestly. Her smile is infectious, her positive expression tells stories of sweetness and grace

    Neerah“Why the cages? This looks like a mini zoo” I expressed myself as I took in the overgrowing shrubs around the carefully built cages that looks like they belong in the zoo. “This one…” he points at a big cage house that has this fauna infested pond inside it. Perhaps animals like the alligator would live here?“Aria has two alligators she takes care of here. Because she likes animals, and our property is bordered by Alpha Deren's property, sometimes, weird stuff keep happening. She caught the alligators because they were the only survivors in a merciless slaughter. She thinks that Alpha Deren uses these animals for his experiments. To hide his activities, he would usually have them killed and discarded. She makes it a mission to rescue any surviving animals…”“Who is Aria?” I ask, wishing I knew so I don't interrupt the narrative. “My little sister” he replies sadly. “What happened to her?” I ask again.“She died…” he turns away from the cage and trying to shake off the gloom

    Alpha Cuan I was about to tell her all about Aria in finer details to help her understand why I can't be like everyone else when it came to this act of committing to the mating bond. Why I need to be extra careful.Yet, Gates, my other beta, the one who drew up our wedding contract spoke to me telepathically. “Alpha Beret just made it to the Dark Forest tribe border. He is speaking to Alpha Forbe right now. I think he is headed here,” he informs. To help keep an eye on all our borders, I actually have four betas. All of them have specific responsibilities. Still, it's a pretty large pack.“Keep an eye out. I'll come over to meet him at the border” I reply. “Yes Alpha” Gates replies. “You must miss her a lot” Neerah is teary eyes and I realize that I am affecting her too. Why else would she cry over a girl she did not know?“Sweetheart, grief is a different language of love. Only the heart can translate it. Sometimes, the mind catches glimpses of its intensity and you wonder where

    Neerah“No one likes broken things. Why should I use one to help make something nice?” Rayah looks depressed. But one only needs to look into her eyes to see the sparkle of meanness shining brightly. Oh, so I am the broken thing? I felt the insult particularly because I feel like I am broken too. Just not as often as before. And having someone say it to my face hits differently. “Yet some things just need to be broken to be of use” I retorted. I am just fed up with her antics. And maybe, I just feel a little reckless. Soon, she will fight me and perhaps, her vengeance will be great. Don't be a fool Neerah. She is angry with you right now. Don't make her want to cripple you…‘You can borrow my strength' his words come back to me then and I wonder again what that means. Could he share his strength like we share a mind link? The concept. Is too large for my brain to comprehend. “A slut like you would know wouldn't you? He is going to be tired of you soon and then he will realize t

    NeerahI hate the way Alpha Beret stared at me. I can suddenly remember all the uncomfortable moments as I wondered how my life would turn out as his wife. Not that he ever joined the list of my former tormenters. In a way, he was too distinguished to care about a girl like me. He just wanted someone to control and keep under his thumb. But I also know that he liked how I look. He has this dirty look whenever he stares at me and it makes me severely uncomfortable. To be frank, I hated how he looked at me. But now, somehow, I have to agree that there is nothing slimy in his gaze. Or at least nothing alarming. I just don't like it when it comes from him!Yet I had to stand there most times and endure it because he was supposed to be my fiance.Cuan moves to stand in front of the big man. As a big man himself, he easily covered his view. There is a protective look on his face that tells me he could feel my emotions. I smile so softly when our eyes meet. My heart warmed at the sight an

    Neerah“what the fuck does that mean?” Cuan looks very angry. “I did not offer to marry Neerah because of the debt. I did it for other reasons. I came here to say that I was not paid and so this is a breach of my contract with them. Your marriage cannot be valid” he looks at me and smiles a little “I know you are confused. But you know why I want you right?” He asks as if pressuring me to answer in the affirmative. An explosion of anger permeates my being. It feels like he was too used to playing with my feelings that even now, he just wanted to do it again and again. Or rather, he is too used to Intimidating me that he feels like it was the right approach even now that I found my mate?!Cuan was about to explode. I swear he was. I can feel his intense anger that slips between our bonds. Whenever he has a strong reaction, I can feel some of it.So I calmly told him ‘I'll deal with this’ I look at Alpha Beret and with a clear voice borne of new found confidence, and also, maybe the

    NeerahI knocked on the door and someone asked me to come in. When I went into the office, I was greeted by a middle aged woman who asked me to sit down. "She is observing you quietly isn't she?” Cuan's voice comes to my head. I look at the woman, stylish, with a calm disposition. She is staring at me without staring at me. She seems to be typing something on her laptop and it seems as if she was trying to wrap up before she focuses on me. “No. She is busy typing on her laptop” I replied.“I didn't want to come because I didn't want to distract you. Are you alright with me here?” He asked.“Yes. Don't go anywhere. Please” I pleaded.“I am here” he returns.Dr. Frita finally closes her laptop and she smiles at me in a motherly way before saying “What did he say? That I am observing you?” She questions. My eyes went wide in surprise. But I guess that it's not that hard to guess. If she knows beforehand that we are mates and bonded, it is pretty easy to assume. I don't feel comfort

    Alpha CuanI am going to have to speak to Dr. Frita soon. I want to to know what her thoughts are about Neerah awakening her wolf. I have never seen anyone awaken their wolves the way I suspect hers is awakening. Perhaps I am too eager to have her shift that I am imagining ir? Maybe her symptoms are a result of something else. I am still waiting for the lab to send in results of their analysis. I want to know if Neerah can heal her scar tissue as I have healed my wound. Dr Nibble thinks that if we can find a way to extract the wildsilveer residue, she would be able to heal. Yet that cannot be the reason she is displaying symptoms of the ‘great’ shift. Today, she looks more and more beautiful and I can't wrap my head around how she used a simple comb to style her hair so gorgeously. I am a little obsessed. The way its volume frames her heart shaped face, did everything holy and right to her looks. She is enchanting!In my head, I am so mushy and corny as hell. But I am not about t

    Alpha Cuan“He needs to hand her over!” Alpha Daren's voice silenced everyone. Although I expected the other Alpha's to stay silent out of self preservation, it still Felt pathetic. I remember when I was young, my father attended a meeting like this. Back then, there was a pack known as ‘Royal Crescent pack’ Their Alpha was of royal descent. He is not a direct descendant but he was pretty powerful. Alpha Daren was not well known then. He has just started his reign of terror and he wanted everyone to fear him. What he did was attack the Royal crescent pack when their Alpha was away. He killed his mate and their unborn child. Somehow, my dad was outraged and simmered in anger for days before he realized that no one was gping to hold his hand and fight. It was bigger than a mere fight war. Alpha Daren has Royal backing. No one wants to test the waters and end up sacrificing their pack for it. So it was like it never happened before. When no one fought back then, why will they fight

    NeerahA few Hours LaterHe put a slice of toasted bread on my plate and pushed it gently towards me so it was very close to me. “I know you are hungry. Eat up” he urged. Sitting back in his own chair, I looked up at Rayah's picture in the dining room and blurted out “why is that still here?” He looks at the picture and then at me. As if realizing how bad it seemed, he smiles a little "Don't ruin your appetite. I will take it down” he tells me. I am a little taken aback and with a suspicious look, I say to him “Knowing it's there, how can I have an appetite?” He stares at me as if thoughtfully. And before I knew it, he jumped on the table, reached out to the picture and brought it down. “Put it somewhere outside. Rayah will get it later” he states in one of the maid's directions. I think her name is Alicia. Seeing the photo dragged outside eases the knot in my chest I didn't know existed. I don't know why, I smile to myself, picking up the slice of bread with my bare hand and

    It feels like I am having a fever. There is something sensitive running over my skin with tingling and pricks of growing intensity. At first, I was unaware if this was just another bad dream. My mother has left my dreams too long. Perhaps the dreams are changing as there is another form of nightmare I will start to see.The rocks of my life are absent. And the intensity is growing. Only half awake, I sincerely thought that it was a dream. Well, until I open my eyes to find Cuan staring at me with eyes light as silver. Something isn't right here. He is hovering over me fully clothed but I don't feel afraid. Yet knowing instinctively that something is wrong is a thought that was buried deeply because that door that we use to share our emotions kind of burst open and I can suddenly feel …so much …too much…“You are back early” I whisper. My voice is scratchy from sleep but I can tell why he came back. I don't think he slept well last night. He was going overboard trying to give us spac

    NeerahI don't want to talk about Rayah today. So I shift my thoughts to something else. “You were mystifying earlier. I felt included but…now that I think about it, I wish I could share the bond with the pack. When you said 'Luna’...” I deepen my voice to imitate him. Cuan smiles fondly. I love the way his eyes spark to life when he smiles.“You said it with that deep tone of voice.I can understand more of why you are Alpha and no one else. You sounded…unnatural. It was mighty powerful. Like, It is something that can't be told. It can only be seen, felt… I wish I knew why I couldn't shift” I try to paint an image of how I felt, gushing out my overflowing emotions.Alpha Cuan caresses my cheek lightly and smiles a little more so his eyes are not only lighting up, but practically glittering. “I wish you can feel it too. The bond between the pack and Alpha…you would have felt the strength of it…l” he sighs as if wishfully. “So, when you fought Alpha Deren, did I influence you in any

    NeerahIt's an amicable night. Ine filled with secrets of a budding lovestory. It's easy to get swept up in the fantasy of the night. The wind blew, the cold air making our warmth a shared blessing…“Alpha Beret came for a reason. Do you know why?” I ask him. It's been silent for more than thirty minutes And I feel tired so I rest my head on his lap, which is heaven by the way. Somehow, the action is intimate and gives me a sense of familiarity with our new found closeness.“I don't know why he felt a need to come in person. But he is not a rash person. As you just said, he definitely jas a reason for coming over. We will find out as soon as we meet with the elders” he explained to me. “What will you do if he doesn't accept the payment? Or if my father spent your money deliberately to make it seem like the situation was as bad as before you took me away?” I ask.Clearly, if my father did not pay the money for real, it means that he is still scheming out ways to use me further for h

    Alpha CuanWe Kind of just used the plane again to go over to the beach. The main reason being that the plane doesn't Need to refuel or anything. And besides all that, the pilot will be here until we are done anyways. Instead of fly everyone back, I would have them book commercial flights back.In any case, I was specific about the number of people to be invited for this reason. We have like fifty people who came on call. The rest came because they wanted to…Neerah is still feeling the remnants of a first flight trauma. She tries to appear fine but I can Smell her fear just like the last flight. Albeit less I guess.She is brave though. She carries herself well in tensed situations.Although, I am proud of her for keeping her cool, I am now very much worried about us. What sill it be like if I were in greater danger. It was fortunate that the f8ghr was just a dare. A test of courage of sorts. Most Alpha's Would prefer to avoid confrontation with Alpha Deren. The fact that I accepted

  • The Alpha's Heart   Chapter Sixty Three: Standoff

    NeerahI am so fucking mad! But when you are weak, sometimes, courage is a myth. Like, what is courage when nothing would back it up? It would be an aimless bluster!I think of how to help Cuan. I don't want to seem so useless just after they have all kinda trusted me to lead them alongside their Alpha. It occurs to me that our mind link is not for us to understand each other only. I think that us being able to influence the other is why Alohas need a string mate. And if that is the case, I can't afford to let my fear make him so weak…No one taught me this. It's just instinct. I focused on the rage that had begun to build up earlier. Big mistake! Cuan kind of lost his cool and threw a punch before I could do anything more about my idea.It was definitely the most brutal ten seconds I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Like, Cuan threw the punch, jumped back in the same second while Alpha Deren aggressively shifted into his wolf form. But then Cian shifted too and both werewolves

    NeerahAnd then I locked eyes with Rayah. And she smiles at me as if respectful. If only I could beleive it!My biggest hurdle is always Rayah. Somehow, she is no longer with Cuan but she makes everything difficult. She would endure his direct rejection, pretend to be good and holy, and then turn around to bite me instead. It is like she always knows what to say to Cuan to make him feel sympathetic, or guilty enough to let it go. Or rather, she knows how to act in a way that would stop him from wanting to take action against whatever she did. She knows him better than I do. Somehow, even with the mating bond, she has had years to know him. She doesn't want me to forget it…She wants to be Luna. I don't know why. But she wants it bad. Does she love him so much that she wouldn't want him to be with his mate? How brazen is that? How selfish… Sadly, I know too well how selfish love works. It has no consideration for the other party.

    NeerahWe arrived at the most beautiful place I have ever been to. The greenery is just mindblowing. The architectural design of the massive one thousand acres of the Wolf Teeth Inn is the most alluring thing that makes me feel excited just for being here. If you love nature, this is your last stop. If leisure is your game, I think you will still love the Wolf Teeth Inn. It screams upper class. The kind of place that reminds you there are two sides to life. Rich and poor. I feel poor even in my richness if you can believe it! It's not my money. I did nothing to contribute to it. I feel like such a fraud… But then I reexamine my emotions. I thought to myself ‘Get out! It's my poor old self struggling to embrace this new life. So would it be better if I said that I feel rich in my poor status? Forget it! I can't get it straight either.
