"So...? What... what do you think?
- Hm, it's honestly way too early too tell." Kira groaned, her wisdom filled eyes trailing up and down Angel's body. "Only time will tell. If you have any vomiting, sudden nausea, unusual hunger, anything out of the ordinary; you know what to do."
In typical Kira style, the Healer walked away all the while mumbling under her breath. Angel on the other hand seemed like she was about to explode into a panic attack. I took a careful step forward, unsure how she was about to react or if she would pass out on me. Instead, Angel suddenly kneeled to the ground, covering her face with her hands in a sobbing fit. Oh crap, what am I supposed to do now!? I'm not cut out for this!
Comfort her. Ruby nudged, taking the lead in the conversation for the first time. I felt strange as my body seemed to move on it's own. I kneeled by her side and embraced her into a hug.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. It's gon
Waking up was hands down the last thing I wished to do today. Nothing but pain rippled like waves through my body, making every little movement agony. I struggled to push myself up, every fiber of me fighting against my own will —even my Wolf embraced the idea of a lazy day. And yet, despite my much needed rest, the pack's well being comes first.I took a sharp breathe and leveled myself up, taking a moment to adjust my blurry vision and fuzzy head. A groan left my throat when I pushed up, my head feeling like a 50lbs rock pressing against the top of my neck. Passing a hand onto my sore shoulders, I gazed towards the fireplace and realized Ava had fallen asleep alongside Zed. Had to admit, she looks pretty cute when she sleeps. Zed however —looking how he was completely hunched into the wall, his neck almost broken from the weird angle it was bent in and his arms splay
To say my night was sleepless would be an understatement. Every part of my being, from ear to toe was sore, painful and bruised if not bloody. Pretty sure I have a concussion to top it all oft but mentioning it would simply cause me more pain. That was once my life on a daily basis. After my mom's passing, my father had developed a severe drinking habbit; on his bad days, he'd arrive home drunk like a brick, swearing like a sailor and he'd beat me up for any reason he deemed valid; a bad grade, a misplace word, a fucking lost pen.I've always feared my father. I quivered at the thought of making him mad and what consequence would follow the beating, to the point I promised myself I'd never let anyone step over me again. The only way to earn someone's respect is through fear.Never show them that you are weak,stay in control.
I stilled, taken aback when I found myself standing face to face with Jace. It wasn't the fact I noticed him eavesdropping onto Tommy and I's conversation that startled me, no; it was that oppressing aura emanating from him that had caught my attention.The same one I felt when he had turned into that beast back at the elf village.Unsure whether he was about to lose control or not, I was cautious with my approach and took the calmest tone I could muster."Jace... are you okay...?" My voice was shaky despite my efforts, but I paid it no attention, focused solemly on him. Ruby whimpered when she noticed a large bruise crowning his cheek, my arm lifting to his face with concern. I felt his entire body freeze at my touch, myself suddenly feeling an urge to hold him in my arms and never let go.He pulled his head away from my hand, sorrow clouding hie eyes as he cleared his throat. "I uhm... tripped. It doesn't matter, I... I think it's best we start
I was in the middle of packing my stuff in some old transport bags we had found stached throughout the house when Zak suddenly popped his head out of the room as he addressed Ava. I frowned, wondering what he was blabbering about but he lifted his arm in protest when I tried to speak, halting me in my tracks."Will do Luna!" He finished off, turning an eerie smirk in my direction. Confused, I nodded my shoulders which he paid no attention to whilst he headed for the back door. I followed, still oblivious as to what we were doing and despite my efforts Zak refused to answer, instead ordering me to stay quiet.I did as I was told, but my impatience grew by the second. We left off at a steady pace, marching West only to make a large turn to the left once we were out of view, circling back to the cottage. However, instead of angling to the house, we continued straight ahead, passing the shack. Once again, Zak remained annoyingly silent but I could practically feel the broad smirk on his li
I can easily describe the last couple of days with one simple word; miserable. Absolutely miserable.I don't know if Helios had some sort 9f vendetta against us, or Mother Nature decided to make the remainder of our journey a living hell, but not a single one of us who wasn't soaking wet. The first night we were greeted by a heavy storm and we were forced to take shelter until morning. After that, each day was either cloudy or dampened by a heavy mist, stopping our clothes an pelts from drying off —most of us eventually turned into our wolf form to get better protection from the weather, but even that wasn't enough. Adding all that, Tobby had developed a fever due to the cold which meant we were now in a race against time to get him to a LeBroch Pack Healer; although Kira's medicine helped the kid fight off the sickness, he needed a safe and dry place to rest if he were to recover.On a brighter side, everyone was ultra cooperative so at least I didn't have to deal with any fights or
Leaned against the back of my chair, I kept a watchful eye on the girl, my left leg twitching like a kid with hyper activity. It wouldn't stop shaking, no matter it's position —which is seriously starting to annoy me— but I tried to pay it as little attention.She's been out for two days without any sign of activity or recovery. It was a miracle she even survived such a—"How is she?" I turned my head over my shoulder, craning my neck like a mad man to see who was at the door— Kira... how did I not recognize her voice? I must be more tired than I thought. Rubbing my hands against against my eyes, I staid silent while the Healer made her way to the girl's bed before doing whatever needed to be done to assess her health. I could hear the worried murmurs of the pack a few rooms away. Zed would constantly link me every five minute to know how the girl was doing, but I've blocked him out a long time ago.I was already stressing out about one situation, I didn't need his annoying voice inva
The wind sang its gentle lullaby to my ears, lulling me with the swerving blades of grass surrounding my silhouette and the calming chirp of the bird in the trees. The clouds, soft puffs of white amongst an infinite of sea of blue, crossed the calm surface of the sky without any disturbance. It's so quiet. Calm. Peaceful. Not a sound resonating out of place as Mother Nature plaid her perfect symphony.A pang of doubt squeezed my chest, disrupting my piece.Pushing upwards, I lifted myself from my natural bedding and looked around me. Plains to the eye can see, a sea of waving twigs of green dancing in the breeze. Something's wrong. This silence, this tranquility...Why am I so peaceful?I rose from my spot suddenly overtaken by the urge to stand, grabbed by a sense of deja vu. This field. I was here before... with Ruby and... someone else. A strange void replaced my memory rendering me unable to recall whomst I was with during my previous visit. How did I even get here!?"Ava." My ent
The scent of booze oozed from the car, assailing my nose with such a tang, it almost made me gag. I sighed, trying my best to keep what little food I had in me where it belonged. It was hard to keep a straight face when this prick was around. Diego is the definition of dipshit. Loud, unclean, has no discipline whatsoever. In the name of Selene, the guy barely knew how to use a godam condom; surprised he doesn't have any offspring of his own by now- not any that I know of at least... I pushed the thought aside and reminded myself I had more important business to attend to.Diego grogily made his way to me, stammering alongside the chicks escorting him. A booze stained breath came flowing my as he smiled smugly."Is that my dear cousin!?" He blurted out, sounding like a Jack Sparrow ripoff.I groaned, keeping myself together. "I need to see Alpha Patton. I have important news to deliver-- Oh the old man? Haha, won't be seeing him around no more!" I blinked, confused. Either the alcohol
Tears brimmed in my eyes. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as the gentle hand of my mate cupped my cheek, whipping away a my tear. His arm was but skin and bones, a fragile twig struggling to hold its own weight as he caressed my face. I joined my han to hold his, kissing the tender skin of his palm. "Trevor..." My voice quivered with emotion, fueled by rage and grief at the sight of his weakened condition. "What have they done to you?!"His lips lifted into a smile, the same one I've known for many years. "What took you so long?" He teased, ginger locks falling into a tangled mess over his eyes. "I was beginning to believe you've forgotten me. - Never! Never in a million moons." A choked laugh leaped out of my throat, mixed with sobs and sighs of relief. I quickly fondled into the set of keys Zak had given me, rushing you find the right key to Trevor's cell. The distinct sound of click followed as I inserted the fourth key and the metal door open with a creak. Trevor rose from
My gaze averted to the nearest window of the kitchen, dreams of the past coming back to haunt me. That look she gave me...it stung my very core. If only I could've seen her again, explain everything! No... No. You're a fucking coward Zed. You've always been and that's what you'll always be. My fathers words echoed at my temples like a ghost from my past whispering to my ear. He's right... My wolf tugged at our bond, whimpering silently as I sunk further into my mind, wishing nothing else but to be swallowed whole and forgotten. I wanted to be erased from the earth, left behind for the beasts to devour and clense my sins. "You're such a dumbass!" That laugh... Fuck, I love that laugh. His laugh. I miss it... I miss everything about him. The ring rolled between my fingers, ice cold compared the damp heat of my skin. I stared intently at the jewelry, a beautiful rainforest green topaze- his favorite. I swallowed bitterly, stuffing my prized possession in the deepest crevace of my poc
Minutes felt like hours left trapped in this dam room. So many questions were left unanswered. How did he appease Jace? Why lock up Jace? Did they see him as a threat? I struggled to ease my mind and caught myself walking in circles. I couldn't even find any clue as to where I was as every thing was completely foreign to me, from the trees, to the smells, even the furniture within the hut were unlike anything I've ever seen before. "... Strangers into the grove." I perked my head to the sound of a muffled voice followed by heavy foot steps. "Do you have the slightest idea what you brought to camp? You may have a kind heart Sebastien, but your judgement is still greatly flawed. - I understand, i-it was a misjudgment Sir, I will not do it again. If I may ask however, what will you do?" A silence followed as both were posted right by the door of the room."Join Alya with the trainees. Leave the rest to me." The door knob turned swiftly then the door swung open to the shape of the hoode
Anxious, she continued to pace back and forth by their usual rendezvous point, a million questions buzzing through her mind.It's almost sunrise and if she doesn't head back soon, the others would begin to worry. She couldn't leave without at least telling him... who knows when they'll get another opportunity like this? All the while gazing at the sun from time to time, she continued to pace around, fiddling her pendant in her fingers.Suddenly, a large hand covered her mouth followed by llea, muscular arms that pulled her back and into a tall man's chest. She gave out a muffled scream, startled and terrified until a voice whispered softly into her ear."Missed me?" Enraged, the women rolled her eyes and pushed herself away from the man's grip, fuming with anger as he gave her a smug smile."Sv'Ak, Aaron! You know I hate it when you sneak up on me like that!" She hissed between her teeth, careful as to not raise her voice to high. "And you know it isn't good for the baby..." she blush
A metallic hiss bounced between the cobbled walls, replacing the heavy silence that had settled amongst the prisoners. Frustrated growls harmonized with rattling bars as a red manned man gripped the cold metal with powerful fists. "FUCK!" Frustration boiled the blood in his veins, anger emanating from his skin in waves of heat. "When I get my hands on that bastard, I'll fucking KILL HIM! - Quit your yapping, I've known day old pups with better anger management than you." Croaked an old voice from the corner of the cell. Turning her focus back to her occupation, Kyra rummaged through the contents of her satchel, brows furrowed in concentration. Leaned against the wall of the cell, Angel stared helplessly towards the end of the hall, forcing herself to swallow the knot of bile rising within her throat."Any idea where they might've taken them? - I'm more worried about what they're going to do to us!" Groaned a dark haired male, blue eyes glaring at the girl, the smell of fear and swe
After an attack on their home territory, the Selene pack was forced to seek shelter into foreign lands. Jace, in the journey to retrieve his title, struggles to control his Wolf after a mysterious outburst severs his bond between him and his wolf, reeking havoc on his path. Ava, former Omega, mate to the heir of the Pack, fights for the respect of her mate, but finds it difficult to live up to everyone's expectations all the while she seeks the truth behind the Elve's curious obsession with her.Captured and locked within the dungeons, the pack struggles to hold what little hope remains within their hearts.-*-HELLO READERS!WELCOME to part 2 of TAO:The Omega's PurposeBefore we begin, I wanted to celebrate and thank everyone for reaching over 3k views on TAO! Once again, I can't thank y'all enough for all the wonderful support y'all have given me for this series. I never thought such an experimental work would become one of my main series (if you can call it that lmao). Y'all rock,
My heart sank. I could feel the rumble of Ruby's snarl shake through my body, causing my limbs to tremble with rage. Although the heart breaking truth lingered since I woke up, part of me refused to believe it. Yet here we were, face to face as enemies. Anger boiled my blood. I clenched my fists until my knuckles turned white, unable to hide the despair and rage burning within me.Zed's ice blue gaze reflected nothing but guilt, silently pleading for my forgiveness. "Ava...- Don't." I sneered, unable to hide the emotions that cracked my voice. I gazed down, forcing myself to break eye contact in an attempt to calm my urge to claw his face off. I took a sharp breath, swallowing my anger. Insults filled my mind, fuelled by emotion and grief only to die at the tip of my tongue, refusing to come out. "Why...?" Is the only word I brought myself to mutter lifting my gaze to meet his. Once again, our eyes met, desperate and grief-stricken. I could feel Ruby's anger for the former Scout ris
Hello readers! First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for the sudden silence on TAO's updates; some IRL events occurred and left us unable to update the series for much longer than we initially planned.We're incredibly happy to return and see the book has managed to gain such a huge number of readers, more than ANY of our works have gained prior to this one! With that in mind, we are incredibly excited to announce a sequel is currently in the works and will be released as a second half to this story with the hopes of eventually creating a third and final installment within the far future.In the meantime, we will be reviewing the current released chapters as they are outdated and have been published in their "draft" form. It is then highly recommended to re-read the story as a refresher to the story's events and as of means to update yourself on the lore. TAO final 3 chapters will be released this weekend, alongside the beginning of book 2: Cursed Souls and Lost Heirs. Thank yo
"Katara?"The stone ceiling of a cold room greeted my sight, my eyes slowly adjusting to my poorly lit surroundings. My entire body was numb from the cold floor, it's icy touch freezing my skin and muscles. My eyes darted around, unable to figure out where I was.By then, an agonizing pain bloomed in my head, temples screaming at every heart beat. I gave out but a small groan, unable to feel or move my body. A voice reached my ears, but it was drowned and muffled by the sound of my own heartbeat thrumming against my temples.Slowly, the voice cleared into coherent words. "Ava? Can you hear me dear? Ava!"My eyes adjusted to the darkness, distinguishing the distinct face of an old women. My heart jumped, tears building at the sight of the old Healer."Kira..." My voice was harsh, broken by my parchment dry throat. I struggled to swallow, feeling an urgent need for water. As though she could read my thoughts, Kira's bony head steadily lifted a wooden bowl to my lips, the distinguished sm
