Believe me, I didn’t even realize when I had fallen asleep in Alpha Killian’s hands. I hadn’t even known when he dropped me on the bed. I had been so engrossed and comfortable in his hugs that it soothed me to sleep. This was all like a new found emotion slowly building up in me. It was new. Something I had never felt before.
In a way, it all consumed me; like a dangerous fire.
Alpha Killian was right beside me. His face held a scowl even though he was asleep. He appeared innocent with that look. I watched him sleep, taking note of the way his black hair kissed the bridge of his nose. Every time he breathed, that hair dangerously moved delicately, making me wonder how he could radiate so much power even though he was asleep.
This fire would be my undoing.
A little part of my heart thudded in harmony when I remembered how this Alpha defended me yesterday in front of my pack members. All my life, nobody had ever defended me like th
There was something about the way he stared at me presently. His gaze was ferocious, so were his features. But when his eyes directed to my neck, I noticed they held hunger. I heard about Alphas having a strong need to mark their mates. Could this be what was happening right now? These were my thoughts as Alpha Killian stared at me with intricate desire.I stared at him in so much confusion as his hands reached to my neck, holding it intimately. He trailed his hands around them, sniffling me so intensely. My eyes shut without my consent, with my head tilted back while I enjoyed the sensation that coursed through me.“Definitely in cloud nine!” Merida excitedly admitted. She didn’t get a reaction from me because I was too engrossed in the sensations I was feeling. With a firm hand around my waist, Killian tightened his grip them, pulling me close to his body. That only made the feelings I sensed worse. My body was starting to snap out of control and I could fee
I waited for him to avert his wolfy gaze, with my heart thudding fast. I couldn’t still believe he was still facing me with so much valor and nerve. I immediately pretended to scratch the back of my neck. When I saw him still watching me with passion, I knew I had another thing coming.“I will not repeat myself again, Celeste. Shift!” It was then I noticed. He was in his wolf form and somehow, he was still talking to me. How was that possible? Weren’t mates able to mind link once the bond was settled and finalized? Then how was this—My breath hitched the minute his wolf took an angry step towards me. I grunted out at how insensitive he could actually be. “Avert your gaze,” I seethed, wondering how he didn’t have the gentlemanly instincts to do the same thing I had done.“What did you say?” he asked in my head.“I said avert your gaze if you want me to shift, Mr. Alpha,” I breathed out. Recently, I had no idea of when exactly I had started to be th
I woke up to the total emptiness of the bed. I sat up, rubbing my eyes softly and trying to recall the previous day’s events. Killian was nowhere to be found. Even though Merida was protesting a lot, it was a good thing he wasn’t here. I didn’t detest him, no. It was just that I couldn’t actually bear to see him after how Merida licked his wolf, Claw yesterday.“This is all because of you, missy.” I seethed, wondering why wolves could be so intent on being horny, reluctant and stubborn. “How’s any of this my fault? I just did what you didn’t have the audacity to do.” she snickered back at me. “Besides, we have a right to him. He’s our mate,” she finalized, before scoffing. I inhaled, fed up. It was then my brain processed what exactly happened last night, when I had been trying to fall asleep. Someone or something was whispering my name. It had been so thin, yet I was able to hear it somehow. Like it went in motion wi
There was a time I never cared of anything. Didn’t just give a damn because everybody saw me as a loser. And, I was used to being this lowly Omega who was mistreated. No one even talked to me like how Patricia was talking to me now. She was someone motherly and she made me feel at home from how she related with me. I couldn’t help but feel insecure at it all.Apart from that, I was astonished at what she had just said. I couldn’t believe me ears in ways. I didn’t know much around here when I had just arrived in a few days earlier. Arrived would be an understatement because I was practically dragged here by this crazy Alpha.“Y-You’re his mother?” I asked again, to be sure of what I had just heard. It was strange if she was because she looked so young. “Oh yes I am. I had Killian at a very young age that’s why. You see…Alphas are usually ruled by their wolves with the instincts to create an heir as soon as possible.” sh
Running with my wolf.This was what I was presently doing now. And, it was a nostalgic feeling because all my life, I have run from multiple people. I remember when the Alpha’s son had tried to take advantage of me, back in my pack.He had sent for me; a lowly Omega and I never sensed his intention. I thought it was all just to ridicule me but it actually wasn’t. He threw to a Queen-sized bed with the intention to force himself on me.Even till today, I just didn’t know how I got out of that hell hole. Merida was so violent was him that he ended up with scars and broken bones. It was just strange that she never made my warrior genes surface, apart from when I was in a real danger.The Alpha's son had ended up with multiple injuries. He lied to the Alpha that I committed a treason by using a wolfs bane on him. He also added that I attempted to seduce him to be the next Luna of our pack.In spite of the fact that I tried to tell the
Tiffany’s Pov(Beta Devin’s Mate)The club had a tinted red color surrounding it. People were dispersed, all looking like they were having fun. The disco lights were brightly lit, with the DJ bringing in different powerful songs for the soul. On a usual day, I’d probably be on the dance floor, grinding with good looking males. But my school of thought today was so different.I had just had an intense argument with my mate, Devin. He had been recently injured by the infamous and cruel Alpha, Killian.Even though my boyfriend marked me, I still felt he sometimes regretted his decision. This was all because I watched him desire that slut, Celeste even when they weren’t mates. She had been the cause of most of our arguments. I had wondered what exactly he saw in her. Anytime I confronted him, asking, he'd say it w
I left Maliah the minute dusk was about approaching. I knew I couldn’t have Killian angry at me for going out his pack without informing him. Hastily, I went back to his pack, with the words Maliah said, still on my mind. I couldn’t have guessed she was the one that had saved me that day. It all felt absurd in a way. Since I had seen Killian above me, I assumed he was the one that had brought me out of the water.But he wasn’t.He just scolded me that day because he was afraid of the harm, I could cause myself. It wasn’t his fault he thought that way actually. I was the one that should be accountable to everything because I had been to one to pull everything up. I gave people so much trouble. That wasn’t something I should be proud off. Pounding my paws on the bare ground, I quickly threaded the forest, to get to his pack.As I arrived his pack, I noticed that nobody was training again. Beyond
There is always that one thing in life that happened out of blue, that made you so surprised. It made you so confused to the extreme, that you’re taken back down to the memory lane. On how it came to the state that you are presently. For me, it was this moment. The minute Alpha Killian of Fangs Clan pack marked me.I couldn’t bring myself to believe that he had just done that without my consent. Since he made me believe that day outside that he wanted things to work out between us, I had let my guard down around him. Maybe it was because a part of me felt connected to him. I trusted that he won’t make hasty decisions without actually telling me.I also won’t deny the intense spark that grew between us each day we grew apart. A feeling that itched between us whenever we weren’t together. Perhaps, it was the wearing of the bond that made him uncontrollable. I won’t say just for his c
*6 months later*Before Shadow Knight went back to land, he offered to teach Harry, his successor, how to manage the sea. Queen Calypso knew this was certainly going to take months, thus she offered we went back together, since I was still in process of transformation and discovering my powers.Day by day, I never did improve in the discovery of it. When it did highlight, I was unable to control it. My wolf wasn’t happy with me at all. It all had to do with the fact that I wasn’t going back on land, to Killian.But she didn’t understand.If I went back to land in this pitiful state, I would become a threat to the members of Fangs Clan Pack.Mum didn’t want that.She believed it was all patience, the sincerest virtues, that fixed it all.We were in her Royal Chambers, when her legendary rushed in suddenly.“My Queen! We just got a dreadful message from above,” sh
I almost choked on my words, the minute the Queen said that. My eyes lit with shock at the name she mentioned. I was beyond bewildered at what was happening.“S-Shadow Knight?” I repeated after her instantly.“Yeah, I know it’s all hard to take in. B- ““No, no, mum. You don’t understand!” I let out.“H-He’s the f-father to my mate. He’s Killian’s father, mum.” I answered her immediately.It seemed like fate wanted to play a game with me. I wasn’t surprised in anyway, because it always did that with me, for some reason.“What? That can’t be, dear. It’s ab-surd!” she exclaimed.“Are you sure about this?” she breathed out, asking me. I looked at her, alarmed, with my eyes still bolted.“Yes, he’s the one, Killian’s father, mate to Patricia Knight.” I said to her. Her eyes sh
“What truly happened?” I asked her. Instead of answering, she directed her staff midriff. Then, it came again. The epitome of that energy. Her hair blew mightily, once again, with a daunting and intimidating expression all on her features.As before, everything around me looked like an illusion suddenly. A force lifted us both. This made my mind lurk to various possibilities. I didn’t yelp this time. Either way, I wasn’t as calm as she was. She was certainly used to more of this.From the corner of my eye, I peeked at her and saw that she closed her eyes. Thus, I imitated her actions too, closing my eyes. Suddenly, it was like we were pulled from that world beneath the sea, to another.Again, my body was somewhat weightless and translucent. Slowly, I opened my eyes only to see that once again, we were underwater. My eyes naturally directed to her, my eyes to her, as we settled.My hands were clasped around hers tightl
Staring at her in pure surprise was the only thing I could do. Nothing made sense anymore these days, and it saddened me up. It made me confused as to why I felt like a stranger in the wolf pack.“Are you my m-mum?” I asked, with my eyes staring at all of her features which were similar to mine. I had always wondered why I didn’t look like dad. Seemed like I took more of her.“Yes, dear. I was the one who birthed you,” she answered, looking at me with a kind look in her eyes, without batting a lash. Her hands landed on my shoulders, soothing it sweetly. And at that instant, everything felt like a connection. I was drawn to this woman…Hold on a sec, why am I believing this easily?“And, why should I believe you? My mum died while giving birth to me. S-So how could you b-be?” Arching a firm brow, I asked her.“Or is this some kind of underworld, I do not know of?” I questione
Killian’s Pov“How much silver bullets are left in the pistols?” I asked, with clenched teeth to my Beta, Corey. Moon Ravagers Pack definitely had some balls to go against Fangs Clan. From what happened last night, I was going to put them in their place.“More than enough, Alpha. There are also add-ons in the store and more are being produced,” he dutifully let out, in a submissive stance.“Good, inform the men to be on watch-out. Any slight movement from any trespasser should be dealt with accordingly,” I ordered him.“Okay, Alpha.” he said, bowing down once more.Suddenly, one of the pack warriors came rushing in. His movement was filled with so much haste that it caught almost the attention of the other pack warriors.What’s this all about? Claw commented. I had felt him growing wild, but ignored him to focus on protec
Maliah’s PovI sighed in frustration.It’s been seven days since I’ve been in the dungeon and mum was still unbending on her decision to keep me here. After she discovered I communicated with someone on the surface, it was like she didn’t consider me to be her daughter anymore.She wouldn’t even allow the sea jury to put me on trial. Neither was anyone concerned about my case. I knew it was all mum’s doing. She was one of those people who protected the royal throne and tenets with all. Laying down her life for Oceania wasn’t an something quite new.Devoted to her duty, mum always guided the sea as Queen Calypso’s legendary guardian.Every member of the sea royals, had a guardian assigned to them by the ever-knowing Sea Goddess. It could be likened to a wolf’s world in a way. A legendary guardian was just like a mate. The only differen
After the conversation with Patricia, I made my way outside. This was to check on the pack members. It was like everything today happened here because of me.My eye caught the clock strike 12 when I walked out. The midnight air hit my face. I held my black dress, raising it up slightly to walk without stumbling. My shoes dug in the damp soiled ground with each step I took.From where I stood, I could see the pack finally settling. Most men and women were retiring to bed. I noticed a strange thing though. The children weren’t afraid in anyway. Instead, vengeance was written beneath the depths of their eyes.I was beginning to know the reason for Fangs Clan being the most feared pack. They trained everyone to fight, including children. Thus, these creatures didn’t even fear what was coming their way. Not a single one did cling to their parent in fear.Since the Moon Ravagers retreated, the environment was more peaceful. I could tel
From a distance, we watched as the fumes from the dungeon below curled in the air. I could only imagine the people who couldn’t get saved inside the dungeon at this moment. My mind was fogged with so many things. I was completely clueless of what just happened inside.Kate had just attempted to get rid of me and him.Panting, I directed my gaze to Caleb’s.On a spot, we were horrified from whatever had just happened now. He directed his eyes to mine. With a shaky hand, he pointed to my hand. My eyes directed to them too, examining it. They looked pale and whitish.“Y-Your hands, C-Celly...” he let out in a shaky voice.I cleared my voice before speaking, bracing myself up from the fact that we just almost died.“I know... I have no idea of what just happened, believe me.” I muttered, presently unsure. It was all like someone placed me in an unfamiliar place, leaving me to figure out everything about that place.“What’s happening?”
Mysterious darkness.It was like I was lost in a mysterious darkness, in spite of the fire that occupied the whole dungeon. It was strange that I could feel that indefinite darkness, occupying me. Something that could be likened to the same set of emotions, I had felt when dad was murdered in a cold blood.My hands reached for my ear, covering it from the numerous sounds I was presently hearing. My heart began to make erratic thuds from the memory lane I was taken back to. It was like something you dreaded, happening all over again. There was a creepy sensation lurking in my lower belly.“Dad…” My lips shakily let out. I didn’t even know when my mouth made out that word.“I didn’t mean to leave you, dad…” I added again. A feeling of déjà vu radiated through me, but this was different. Because something really dangerous, triggered this. The only thing was that I didn’t know what.
