~August~

“Okay, what now?” I asked, keeping my eyes glued to the paper like my whole life depended on it. I couldn't help but wonder where he was trying to go with all these.

Gray sighed and locked his eyes in mine. “I was just thinking we could come up with something. You know, maybe we should restrategize and make out a way to capture the real culprit—the man behind that face in the picture which Azalea was found in. What do you think?”

“Oh. Of course, that's a good idea. But I'm still skeptical about how we're going to achieve this considering the fact that they are also on the lookout for us. I mean, we are literally a prey before them.”

Gray nodded, hand slightly inclined below his chin. He remained silent for a while before raising his head to speak.

“Well, in that case, I would only advise that we carry it out in the smartest way possible.” He said, staring at me for affirmation. “We need to be extra careful this time, and we need the guards also to be on the lookout. We can't

    ~August~Zoe withdrew her gaze, obviously shying away from me.I was trying so hard not to believe that she had said anything about Azalea's whereabouts to Gray, but it was clear enough that she really had.My fists clenched in my sides, my gaze fixed on her. Then I turned to Gray who was still fuming with anger. “Gray, I–”“Save it!” He cut in, shooting a terrifying glare at me. “Save yourself the stress. Why did you have to lie to me when you knew fully well that the person in question was no longer in the pack? Why?!” “Listen, I was about to. But—” “But you didn't deem it fit to tell me? No, go ahead and say it. Just tell me I wasn't supposed to know about it.” His voice laced with venom as he raged out and went on his feet.He turned towards the exit, his heels clicking on the marble ground as he walked away.I walked up to Zoe at once. She had a lot of explaining to do concerning what just happened.“Why did you do that?” I asked, gradually losing my patience. “Talk to me, Zoe

    ~August~“What just happened in there?” She asked, her voice calm yet demanding.I shot her a puzzled look, wondering if it was really me she was speaking to. “What do you mean? I just saw your father in bed with my mate, yet you stand here and ask me what happened? Are you serious right now?”“Your mate?” She asked, feeling no ounce of shame in what her father had done. “Do I need to remind you that she is no longer your mate? I am your mate, not her!”“Is that what you think?” I asked boldly, closing in the gap between us. For the first time since her arrival in my life, I felt fulfilled telling her my mind.Her eyes narrowed, anger brewing in her eyes. There was no doubt that those words had hurt her deeply.She turned on her heels and walked away, not sparing me a second glance.I headed back at once to the king's chamber, but this time, Azalea was not there.I walked up to the king, and as I got closer to where he was, I couldn't shake off the anger I felt towards him.He had ju

    ~Azalea~August's eyes remained glued to mine, and at that point, though I was still upset with him for the way he had treated me, I was determined to tell him everything that had transpired behind his back between Zoe and Gray.I lowered my head slightly, anxiety clawing at my chest all of a sudden.“It’s about Zoe and Gray.” I started, not sure if I had said the right thing. I could feel my legs trembling from the weight of his stares. “What about them?” His voice, deep and coarse, resounded in my ear, creating a lasting effect of panic on me.I was suddenly growing cold feet towards telling him about it. What if he doesn't believe me? What if Zoe steps out from nowhere and twists the story to her favor?It's no longer news that August had changed drastically since that woman came into his life. He had turned into a nuisance entirely and no one could tell when he would get out of her spell.After a long thought, I finally mustered the courage to say something—anything. The least he

    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

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

    ~August~I felt so fulfilled as I returned to the packhouse with Zoe by my side. For us, it was a mission accomplished. We had finally gotten rid of Azalea and that was obviously the best decision I had ever made in a long time.When we arrived, Gray walked up to us. At first, I was worried, seeing him in the packhouse at such an hour. I never expected him to be here, let alone sitting patiently and awaiting our arrival. But I maintain my composure, approaching him with a smile.“August, where are you coming from?” He asked, looking around restlessly like he had lost something. His gaze came resting on me all of a sudden, and he paused, grabbing my clothes. “Where is Azalea?”My eyes narrowed, reeling in suspense from what I just heard. I raised a brow at him, expecting that he would rephrase his statement, but he never did. His eyes were like a burning fire, fierce and filled with intense anger. “Where the hell is she?!” He asked once again, pushing me slightly.I staggered and man

    ~AZALEA~“Aug…August?” I managed to choke out, my voice trembled, feeling the entire world crash around me. Time seemed to stretch endlessly and I thought he was bluffing until I saw some men marching towards me boldly.They grabbed my hands and pinned my knees down to the floor, forcing my head up.My eyes locked into August's once again, but this time, it looked like nothing but betrayal. I could feel the remaining pieces of my heart being shattered as I met his gaze.I waited earnestly to see if he would go back on his words and tell these hungry-looking fellows that he never actually meant what he had said earlier.But none of that happened. Instead, he nodded in approval, and it was as if that was the only thing the men were waiting for as they lifted me to my feet and dragged me out of the meeting arena.“Where are you taking me?” I asked in tears, not minding what the repercussion of my question would be. At this point, they had done their worst, and there was absolutely nothin

    ~AZALEA~As we marched on to the entrance, it became clear enough that the person walking towards us was no other person but Zoe!My eyes widened as they traveled to August. I was expecting him to give an explanation for this. Why was Zoe in the supposed place of relaxation he had brought me to? Why does she have to show up now?I was terribly shocked to my marrow as August extended his hand and shook her, offering her a smile. He seemed to have forgotten so soon that he was actually here with me. He was so absentminded that he got lost in a discussion with Zoe, and soon, they were heading towards the entrance door, leaving me behind with the guards.My jaw clenched, a mix of anger and fear engulfing me as I watched them leave. I suddenly felt a bit relieved when August turned around, locking his eyes with mine.He gestured to the guards, pointing an index finger at me. “Bring her with you. She is the sole reason why we are here.” He said and returned his hand to rest on Zoe's shoulde

    ~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~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
