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
Needless to say my jaw almost unhinged itself when Cade's words sunk in. Either my brain was still too tired to understand or I misheard him. He seemed to read through as a soft chuckle rumbled his throat causing his shoulders to jump. Despite the sound, his face was cloaked with dread and what seemed to be remorse.It didn't take a genius to put the puzzle pieces together and understood Cade and Felix didn't have a good history, as if earlier's conversation wasn't enough..."What happened between you two?" I bit my lip, suddenly regretting my question when Cade's face turned into a sour frown. I laid my hand on his shoulder, ignoring the dryness of my mouth as I spoke: "Never mind, it's none of my businness, I-I didn't meant to intrude."A small smile lifted the corner of his lips making me tilt my head in confusion. I parted my lips to speak, but he beat me to it: "Hm, anyone ever told you you're cute when you stutter?"The compliment made my eyes roll, but I felt my cheeks turn red
The water running down skin felt better than anything I've experienced in my life; my skin felt so light now it was free of all muck and grime. I was so lost in the moment, I allowed my wolf to come put so he too could enjoy a refreshing shower. The stalls were luckily bug enough to fit a giant Wolf in them, so I didn't have to worry about space.Once we were both happy and refreshed, I stepped out of the stall, back into my human form then carefully wrapped a towel around my waist. With a smaller cloth, I ruffled my hair to quickly dry out the water, whilst walking over to the many mirrors displayed in the room. I washed my face with a splash of cold water then looked up into the reflective surface, a pang hitting my chest when I saw my face; I looked like shit. My hair had grown down to my shoulders, left clumpy and knotted at places. My skin looked even paler now that all the dirt was cleaned off. Even my muscle mass had greatly decreased; to be fair though, I was always on the mor
I threw on a white blouse and a fresh pair of jeans, walking up to the tall glass mirror whilst I rolled up the sleeves and tucked the waist in. It felt great to have some fresh clothing to wear, but it felt a little too tight for my taste; I may be well built, but I wasn't the kind to show off. However, it quickly became clear I wouldn't have to worry about such detail as most females wouldn't even look in my direction, or they were already occupied by another male whilst I walked through the halls. A heavy feeling dragged alongside me, following me everywhere I went; I couldn't shake it away, and it only got stronger for every Wolf I came across. The hostility was palpable to the point I was starting to get on edgeThis place felt... odd and in the worse way possible. None of this felt natural and the air was asphyxiating, bothering me to my very core. My Wolf remained on high alert, ready to pounce at the smallest sign of danger. Eventually, I decided to head to dining hall, in hop
Selene knows how long I stayed sitting quietly on the stone stairway, completely lost within an ocean of own thoughts. My hand held the silver head of my mother's necklace, the thought of her bringing tears to my eyes. They weren't all sour, no. A part of them were sweet, happy tears, as I recalled everything I've gone through these last few weeks, memories which now brought me a certain sense of pride and accomplishment.It was trying, difficult and heartbreaking at first but... at least I feel as if I've finally managed to become part of something I never thought I'd had the chance to experience before; I'm part of a pack. They respect me- most of them, but at least I know I'm safe around them. Even though I had a few doubts before, now I was certain I found my rightful place amongst the pack; Luna or not, I'd do anything to protect this pack.My family."Selene help me, do I sound corny." I chuckled, stroking Ruby's fur while she rested by my side, snoring at a peaceful rhythm. Eve
I stilled; my blood turned to ice in my veins. It took me a second to fully register Curtis' form whilst he stood before me, a sinister grin lifting the corner of his lips. My thoughts fluttered about, stopping me from speaking as I instead starred with nothing but fear in my pupils.He laughed, distorting the hidden side of his face into a disturbing grin. "Hello, Ava. Did you miss me?"I stepped back, anger blooming in my chest. "You... What did you do to Cade!" Ruby snarled in harmony with my words, the fur of her neck spiking into a frenzy."Don't fret, sweetheart, he's fine. For now." Curtis smiled to his own response while he stepped out of the shade, revealing the full extent of his deformity; half of his face was covered in scar tissue and honestly, even I wouldn't wish this kind of pain to my worst enemy... And yet part of me couldn't help but relish at the damage we'd cause.Curtis circled around me, gingerly walking to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee, strutting
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
