~AZALEA~

Of what use was it speaking up anyway, when no one would be willing to listen to what I had to say? Not even August would take me seriously if I told him that Zoe's intentions towards him were not genuine.

How else am I supposed to go about this if not keeping my lips sealed—at least for now? As much as I wished to save August from the trouble he was about to get himself into, I couldn't just lay down my life in exchange for his safety.

The following morning after the encounter with Zoe, I woke up only to find myself lying next to August.

It was hard to believe it at first but after taking a close glance at the person lying beside me, my suspicions were confirmed. It was indeed August.

His hand was crossed over my shoulder, pinning me in a possessive manner.

I rolled my eyes in disbelief and quietly rolled his hand away, but that was before his eyes went open.

I scampered in fear, rolling myself quickly away from him. His eyes trailed mine cautiously, his hands scribbling the

    AZALEA“There’s no such thing as werewolves,” I said for the umpteenth time to my father as we sat in the dining room that evening for dinner.I had gotten tired of his constant rambling about them and how many he had managed to hunt down. It didn’t make any sense to me, a person having the ability to turn into an animal. I had just gotten home from my college dorm after graduation, and the last thing I needed was him lecturing me.“And how do you think I got the money to feed you and the money for this house that I bought?” he challenged, smirking as if he had just trapped me in a corner that would lead me to believe him.“You work other jobs,” I guessed with a shrug. I didn’t want to say anything about it anymore.“I do not,” he argued. “One werewolf is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and that’s only a small size. Six months ago, I was lucky enough to catch one after catching another one a month before.”I stared at him helplessly, not sure whether it really had been a good idea

    AZALEAA loud scream tore out of my throat, my voice ripping through the stillness of the night as I felt a searing pain in my neck like fire. The man’s teeth sunk deeper into my skin, and I grunted, trying to push him off. I thrashed roughly against him, but he was too strong, holding me in place as my body trembled under the agony.In the distance, I heard my father shouting my name. His voice was faint, muffled by the pounding in my head and the my own voice blaring in my ears.Then, just as quickly as it had come, the weight on top of me was gone. The man disappeared, slipping into the darkness of the woods as if he was a ghost.I gasped for air, clutching at the wound on my neck, my fingers slick with the warmth of my own blood. Everything started to blur, the tall trees around me spinning. I tried to stay conscious, to hold on until my father found me.“Dad,” I whispered, unable to even hear my voice and doubting that he had heard me.“Azalea!” His voice was closer now, full of

    AZALEA“Oh, my God!” I muttered, my hand slapping my mouth in shock.He stood on the other side of the glass, his face illuminated by the pale moonlight and mostly by the light from my bedroom. He didn’t look anything like the savage creature I remembered from earlier. His features were sharp, handsome even, and his eyes… they weren’t wild or feral. They were human.He watched me intently, as if waiting for something. My heart pounded in my chest, my breath catching in my throat.I wanted to scream, to run, to call for my father, but I couldn’t move. His eyes held me in place, and I was frozen, trapped in that moment and not sure what to do.This was the man who had marked me. The man who had claimed me as his own, according to my father. And now, he was here, standing at my window, looking more human than ever.How did he know where I lived?“Open it,” I heard him say as he gestured at the latch that was holding my window closed.I narrowed my eyes at him, shaking my head and scoffin

    AZALEAMy breath hitched as I took in the bloody scene in front of me. These people were digging and tearing into each other with a brutality I could never comprehend. I couldn’t help but realize that I had stumbled into something I wasn’t meant to see.My heart pounded in my chest, every instinct screaming at me to get out of there before anyone noticed that I was not one of them.I slowly backed away, trying to move quietly, praying I could slip away unnoticed. The sounds of snarling and snapping jaws filled my ears, making it hard to focus. My foot crunched on a twig, the sound far too loud in the chaos, and my stomach dropped.“Oh, God,” I said as I felt my stomach twist like I was going to get sick. That would definitely get their attention.In a panic, I turned and bolted out of there.Branches whipped against my arms and face as I raced through the trees, my heart hammering in my chest. I didn’t know where I was going, only that I needed to get away. As far away as possible. Th

    AZALEA “Please, let me go.” I cried helplessly, finally succumbing to his threats. “I won't dare to come back here, just let me go.”Unfortunately, my tears did nothing to stop him from what he had in mind. His eyes shone with terror as he approached me slowly, a mocking smile creeping through his lips.“You're not in the position to tell me what to do, milady. You are mine, and no one… not even my brother can stop me from having you.”He walked behind me, holding my neck in a chokehold and leaning his head against my neck. His lips brushed through my neckline, traveling slowly into my skin.His sharp teeth dug into my neck, and I whimpered in pain as I struggled to get myself out of his firm grip.I felt a searing pain in my neck as he slowly pulled out his teeth from the point where he had bitten me.He let out a smile, waving his hair backwards. “Now I have you. You belong to me too as long as you have my mark on you.” He said boldly, clearly proud of himself.My eyes narrowed, my

    AZALEA Despite not having a pleasant experience back there at the woods, I still couldn't deny the attraction I felt towards August. It felt like we had known each other for such a long time when in actual sense we had just met barely some days ago.I had a feeling I had betrayed him – by hiding the fact that I had been marked by his brother. What happens when he eventually finds out and it stirs up trouble between them?I had an undying urge to be with him each passing day, to stare him in the eye and confess to him what had happened between his brother and I.I couldn't bear being apart from him anymore. I just knew I had to leave for the woods once again, but this time, my father had to know I was leaving. It's unfair of me to keep him in the dark about my plans of leaving the house.When I was fully convinced I was ready to leave, I approached my father's room, rehearsing the perfect lies I was about to spill to him.He raised his head as soon as he heard the sound of the door op

    GRAYI walked close to where she was standing with August by her side, staring at her in a plausible manner. I'm sure she quite understood what the stares meant as she squinted her eyes, as if pleading with me to stay away from her.I paid heed to her plea, not because I was scared of her or August, but because I had other better plans which they were certainly not aware of.I turned to the pack elders and other high ranking members seated in the hall. “I suppose my brother has shown you his mate already, and it will interest you to know that she is nothing but a mere human. He has chosen a human to be your future Luna, is that even possible?”“Of course not!” The crowd roared in unison. I shot a quick glance at August, and his reaction was nothing short of furious. His hands clenched in a tight fist, his face burning with intense anger as his eyes dug into mine. I was unmoved by any of that anyway. Not like he would be able to defeat me in a battle.The pack members were growing imp

    AZALEA Gray was definitely up to something sinister. I could see right through his eyes to know that he was planning something towards the new moon ceremony, but I just couldn't place my hands on what exactly it was.His smile only made things worse. It created this burning urge within me to hit him and put an end to all these already. Unfortunately, that was only going to worsen the situation at hand.I prayed to the goddess silently, hoping she would send August to save me from this bag of trouble standing before me. Could today just be any better?“Haha. Luna Azalea has surely got some nerves.” He bellowed, laughing in a weird manner. He got up and crossed his hands behind him, mischief seeping through his eyes. “Well, I really do not have anything to say right now. Let's all wait for the new moon ceremony, right?”Before I could say anything, he turned to the door and walked away majestically. I walked slowly behind him, wondering how he had managed to gain entrance into the man

    ~AZALEA~I gritted my teeth in pain as the guards howled me back into the same place I had tried to escape from. This was not just any kind of pain. It was an indescribable pain of agony and regrets—a pain of not being able to get out of my bondage and probably meet my father once again, a pain of being drawn back to my worst nightmare when I thought I was finally out.At this point, I gave up trying to leave the dungeon ever again, as it was clearly obvious that I was never going to get a chance ever again.August didn't look like he was going to let me out of his sight once again. He was so determined to make me pay dearly for attempting to leave at the first instance.I still wondered how he had changed so quickly, just within a few days of Zoe's arrival. If only he knew her real motive of being with him. If only he had an idea that she was in a relationship with his brother and not him, and that they were only using him as a tool to achieve what they wanted.How could he be so bli

    ~AUGUST~Barely a few minutes after I had returned back to the packhouse, the guards ran up to me and announced Azalea's disappearance.At first, I didn't believe it, but when I got into the dungeon and saw things for myself, reality hit me hard. She was indeed missing! Where could she have gone?Panic coursed through me as I made up my mind to seek Gray's assistance on this. He was obviously in the best position to help me at this point.But I was disappointed instead as I was met by his absence when I finally arrived at his packhouse.“He made a trip into the woods with some of the guards, and we're not sure when he would return.” His guards had said to me.I felt disappointed, desperation clawing at my veins. I made up my mind to wait for him. He was my only hope left and there was no way I could leave without seeing him. I can't even imagine it.Barely a few minutes after I had made up my mind to wait, I was alerted by some footsteps, as though a group of people were approaching u

    ~GRAY~That was a close catch, I guess. My legs trembled as August questioned me repeatedly. I felt hot within me and I prayed silently that he doesn't find out about anything that happened between Zoe and I.Well, it was as though the moon goddess listened to my prayer instantly. The fact that he didn't bother anymore with the questions was what baffled me most.He instantly gave up asking further the moment I made him understand that Zoe was no longer in the packhouse.I couldn't imagine what would have become of me if he had found out that Zoe and I had a hand in everything that was happening to Azalea at the moment.I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I saw him off to the gate, and as soon as he had left, I dashed into the manor to fetch Zoe.“You have to leave right away because he is just on his way to the packhouse, and he would be worried about you if he gets there and doesn't find you.” I explained as soon as I saw Zoe come out of her hiding place.Her eyes rolled in panic as t

    ~AUGUST~This was the highest humiliation I had ever received in my lifetime, and I swear never to let it slide this time.Zoe was right about Azalea after all, but I was so blinded, thinking she was only speaking from a side of hatred and anger. As soon as the guards had locked Azalea in the dungeon, I dismissed the rest of the pack members, rescheduling the meeting for another date when I must have made my decision on what to do next concerning her.But something surprising happened after she had been locked up—Gray, who used to be solely against me, was now weirdly close to me and always visited my packhouse more frequently than I can count.It got so strange to the point that he became a vital part of us in no time. Everyone in the pack respected him and sang his praises for saving the pack from such a huge damage despite our differences.Things took a great turn following Azalea's detainment in the dungeon. It was as though she had been a barrier hindering the pack's progress al

    ~AZALEA~He turned to face me, a mischievous smile creeping on his lips. “From the picture which I have just shown you all, it's obvious Azalea here is related to the man in the picture. And since the man in question is a human hunter, I suspect she is working with him underground, and is obviously planning to get us all captured.”The hall erupted into a loud noise as everyone turned their gazes on me, their mouths wide agape.It felt like the whole world was crumbling on me as their stares lingered around me.I slowly turned to face August, and I was met with the coldest reaction I have ever received.His face stiffened, his jaw clenched in anger as his eyes remained glued to me. “Azalea, is this true? Tell me this is all a joke.” He yelled, anger seeping through his voice.I was both ashamed and frightened by his words. I lowered my head in fear, unable to clear my name off these accusations, because they were actually true.But how was I ever going to say that to them? How was I g

    ~AZALEA~My eyes traveled from where Gray was, then to August, my heart racing with fear. How was I supposed to explain to them that he was one of my father's workers? They would surely rip me apart for being related to their killers.I gulped hard, noticing August's hands clenched into fists. I was aware of the fact that he now despised me badly, following Zoe's reappearance into his life.I lowered my head and took a second glance at the corpse, terror washing over me. Realizing the kind of trouble I would put myself into if I attested to the fact that I knew who this man was, I came to the conclusion that I would deny him.That seemed to be the only way out of this looming trouble. There was no way they would find out if I lied to them, right?“I don't know who this is.” I said, masking my initial fear with boldness.August exchanged puzzled glances with Gray, their faces shone with disbelief.Doubt was written all over August's face, but he chose not to go further with the questio

    ~AUGUST~I ran out of the manor as soon as I heard the guard's announcement. As I left, I couldn't help but wonder what the problem might be this time.Upon arriving at the gate, my eyes widened at the person standing before me. Gray was standing right in front of me, and the most surprising part of it all was that he didn't look like he had come to cause trouble.He was as calm as a storm, and I couldn't help but stare at him in awe. “Gray?” I muttered slowly, trying to be sure I wasn't actually dreaming. He nodded, a welcoming smile on his lips. He stretched his hand for a handshake and I immediately grabbed his hand, not thinking twice.“May I come in?” He asked, gesturing towards the entrance. “Of course! After you.” I said in excitement as I made the way for him to pass. I was quick to notice the shocked expression on Azalea's face the moment Gray walked into the manor. She fidgeted, hands trembling as she suddenly lowered her head.To my utter surprise, Gray ignored her com

    ~AZALEA~“You are going nowhere, Azalea. Step back!” He yelled, his hand clutched firmly around my neck. I gasped for air, screaming endlessly for help but none came. He eventually left me, but not before he had made sure that the gates were locked and out of my reach.“Last I remember, you are still my mate. You are mine and nothing or no one can stop that!”“You already have Zoe, of what use am I to you?” I asked, tears already filling the brim of my eyelids. He grabbed my wrists firmly, and I struggled to get out of his grip, but all efforts seemed futile. “Let me go! I no longer want to be with you.”“In your wildest dreams, sweetheart.” His loud voice filled the air. Merely staring at him, I couldn't help but shudder in fear. Everything seemed to have changed about him. He was no longer the sweet Alpha I used to know and love back in the days.He looked more like a stranger to me right now—someone I couldn't even tell what his next move would be.His eyes narrowed and he furrowe
