Xzen's POV"And where is he?!’’ I glare deadly at the guard, my demand shaking the room. The man, a tall, confident figure with chiseled features and a strong jaw line, bows submissively, but answers calmly, ‘'I do not know, Alpha.’'I take a step closer, my anger escalating. ‘'When last did he report to duty?!'’ I question, my chest heaving. I'm hit with a pang of irritation when I notice Collins sitting at a corner of the room, frowning.'’Relax, Alpha,'’ Collins says as he tries to intervene. '’It's just a training session. I'm sure someone else can stand in for Ace.'’I whirl around, directing my fury at him. '’You've been gone for a while, you have no idea just how lackadaisical he's been,'’ I snarl, my eyes flashing with anger.The guard seems to sense ann opportunity and speaks up, '’Alpha Xzen, I could fetch Ace if you desire.' He lifts his head a bit, his confident demeanor permanent. Just as trained.I frown, my eyes darkening. ‘'From this day forward, he ceases to be the Pa
Xzen's POVOne look at Aura and I'm suddenly transported back to that evening…when I saw her with Ace. My frustration rises as I remember how close they both were to each other. I felt a pang of jealousy then, and I feel it now.I've tried so hard to get her to open up to me but she chooses to share space with Ace. Someone who's barely in the pack these days. How could she spend time with him so easily, when every time I take a step towards her, she takes a hundred back? It doesn't make sense. Hell, I thought I knew her, thought I understood her fears and her boundaries. But now, I'm not so sure.Aura's expression is confused, her brow furrowed in concern. She takes a cautious step back, her eyes darting towards the door like she's reminding herself of the available escape. Her stance is frightened, her weight shifting on to a leg as if she's ready to flee at any moment.I also notice how her tiny hands are clenched into fists, her knuckles white with tension. She's trembling, ever
It's been days since I last saw Alpha Xzen, and weeks since I moved out of the pack house. Through out this time a lot of things have been inconsistent. Although I hate to say it, I'm better off within the pack house where every thing is set in motion for me. Here at the shelter I can hardly coordinate myself. It's only now that I've tried living on my own, without the help of the pack that I realize just how much was being done for me back there. I never had to make my own meals, never had to wash the dishes, never had to worry for anything materialistic, Alpha Elena ensured I had it all even before I asked. It saddens me to remember I never once really thanked her before moving out. I'd been too blinded by hurt. Also I have noticed how most pack members tend to stare when I pass by. At first I'd quicken my pace and hurry off but ever since Bay made it her duty to walk me home, I've realized they all are simply curious about me. Most times whenever Bay waves at them they run up
Chapter 1“Why can't I go?” “You know why Aura, Omegas are not allowed into the pack house.” I frowned not liking my mother's response to my question. “But I promise to stay outside the pack house. I won't cross the gate. I've never been to a mating ceremony, Ma.” I pleaded, my hands clasped in front of me in desperation. Mum shakes her head, “No, Aura.” She states with finality. My blue eyes water as I plead even more. “Please Ma, I won't cross the gates I swear on the sacred grave of all fallen…”“Enough! Stop being unreasonable!” Mum shouts in annoyance. My shoulders fall in defeat as I cower behind the couch nearest to me. My heart pounds loudly within my chest while I cry silently. I'm so sorry…I'm so sorryThe words echo inside my head like a broken record. Shivering from the effort it takes me to bite down my cries, I close my eyes, feeling like a failure. This is why they don't want me near the pack house. I'm so unreasonable, such a disgrace to werewolves. I should ne
Chapter 2When I was five, I asked my parents what it meant to be an Omega. My father had smiled at me and pulled out a dusty book from his study. He explained to me the qualities of an Omega. All omegas were blessed with fruitfulness and wisdom. Most had fast feet and sharp hearing. They were best suited for Alpha's and most got mated to alphas. Omegas were rare creations but in the second Clan Clash, almost all were killed. My parents successfully made me feel special, a worthy pack member. Then I went to highschool and the bullying started. I'd get my head smashed into lockers and my body kicked like the trash they called me. It was then I knew how worthless I truly was and so I had come out top in all my classes just to earn a little respect but even that didn't work.I've felt useless several times. I've felt unwanted almost all the time but never in my life have I felt so rejected, so worthless.My heart trembles within my chest. I can feel the fragile bond I share with Alpha
Chapter 3It's cold, my chest is cold. I inhale and moan in pain when the act causes my chest to twist with every pressured breath I take in. My eyes feel like lead as I try to see through the darkness. Another whimper escapes my lips when I feel a slight pinch on my stomach. A steady voice speaks, “She's responsive, Alpha.” He says. My nose twitches as I try to discover where exactly I am. The smell of antiseptic is sharp in the air. I perceive wood and fur, the general scent accredited to werewolves but what I realize is missing is the familiar smell of home, my pack, my family. My body reacts immediately, my hind limbs kicking frantically as my mind switches into flight mode. “The patient seems to be having a seizure, doctor.” An authoritative female voice alerts and I'm immediately surrounded by hands, multiple strong holds pull down my wolf and I growl in pain, fighting even harder. “Do something to stop this, Banks!” The same female voice orders. “Yes, Alpha. The drugs sh
Chapter 4“You are required to eat everything on the tray before ten am. By then the Alpha of Darkwoods will be with you.” The male doctor from earlier states. It has been a week since my last attempt at suicide. A week since I'd last seen Ace, the man who restored my life. His brown eyes were imprinted into my memory after that day. I had mistaken him for the Alpha but he isn't. This is something I learned yesterday when the Alpha of Darkwoods– the pack that had collected me from the claws of Alpha Mich– paid me a visit. When I'm done eating, just as promised, Alpha Elena saunters into the room. Her brunette hair sways gently over her shoulder, her beautiful green eyes take note of my surroundings before finally landing on me. Then her lips pull up in a smile as she speaks, “I see they are taking good care of you, Aura.” “Y..yes Alpha.” I say, my heart unsteady. Although she has been nothing but friendly and sweet, I can't help but fear she'll soon show her true colors once she
“Gently, Miss Aura. Alpha Elena would like you in one piece and I definitely don't want to be on her bad side.” I nod my head, causing my wavy brown hair to fall over my eyes as I lean all my weight– which I am guessing is not much after all– against the pack maid. She supports my arms above her shoulder as she once again adjusts the crunches under my armpit. I wasn't this bad but after last night, my muscles keep protesting and refusing to corporate with me. I don't remember how I got back to my room but I do remember his every touch. I clearly remember the fullness of him inside me. I bite down on my lips to stop the lewd images in my head.Hanna, as I've come to know her, looks at me and smiles encouragingly. “There, there, you're doing just fine.” She says before pulling the door, which we've been standing before since the last ten minutes, open. I bite my tongue against the cold that immediately assaults my body but one glance at how unaffected Hanna is by the cold and I strai
