~Nalina Romirez~I exhaled deeply before knocking on my Grandma's door. Things were just not sitting right with me. Since she's been here everything seemed normal to her as if mom didn't tell her about what was happening to me. I wanted her to acknowledge and talk to me about the fact that she was a witch and I somehow inherited traces of it.It's been three days since my parents left and the place feels really empty without them. Three days since my Grandma has been staying with us. Three days since I was marked by Mykel. It felt good to have his mark on me. Too bad I haven't seen him since then but he calls and checks on me every night. He was busy with stuff and I know I should be there with him but I also needed to be here with my grandma. "You can come in Lina, I know it's you."I pursed my lips as I opened the door. She was sitting on the bed with a small book in her hand. I watched as she smiled and closed the book before turning her attention towards me. My Grandma looked lik
Remember when I said that I was going to face any dangers and protect my pack? In this case maybe I should've just shut up and stayed home like Mykel wanted me to. I didn't like the position that I was in. I didn't like the aura in the room amongst everyone who was standing around us. And I didn't like the way Mykel's distant uncle was staring at us with a deadly expression on his face. My palms were sweaty as I tried my best to remain still in my seat and not move too much to make any noise.Upon arriving at the pack house everyone was already waiting for us to make an appearance. Clearly no one's expression was readable as we all followed Mykel to the lounge room. The air turned heavy as we all looked at the man who was seated across from Mykel's dad. Ryder didn't look anything at this point and his face held no emotions. I didn't really understand why he was here nor why everyone of our pack members including his was surrounding us as if a war was about to go down. I didn't even u
I've been in Mykel's office for the past three hours watching him work through some pack documents. He wanted to expand the place which would be a good investment since the pups are growing up and will need their space. It was almost nightfall but Mykel was gonna take me home as soon as he was finished. It will be a full moon tonight and we couldn't be near each other.My eyes were fixated on his shirtless figure as his eyes roamed over the papers in his hands. I was seated on the left getting a proper view of him as he worked. My mouth watered as images of the way he touched me when he marked me flowed through my mind. I knew he didn't want to touch me until the time was right but the way my mind was acting, I didn't want to wait until the time was right.When I was in high school I wasn't interested in listening to girls talking about how much guys they've slept with or how good they were. I kept to myself and focused on my studies. Maybe I was the odd one out but I didn't care. I d
My body hit the bed with a soft thud. The sheets made my skin burn as I tried to get comfortable. Mykel approached me in his predatory form as his eyes glowed in the darkness. I sat up getting more impatient the longer I waited. I wanted his touch now but he seemed to be teasing me real badly."Please", I whimpered and he finally complied and came on the bed. He opened my legs and settled between them before attacking my lips. I ran my hands up and down his arms enjoying every second of how I was feeling. I didn't even fight him when he demanded entrance in my mouth. I opened it and allowed his tongue to explore every nook and cranny of the inside."Mmmm", I moaned into the kiss as he started sucking on my tongue. He pressed his body further into mine and I thrust my hips forward enticing a deep groan from him. My heart was thumping away in my chest as my body sweated like crazy. Mykel released my lips as he pulled away and took off his shirt. I moaned at the sight unable to bite my l
I relaxed in my seat as I gazed out the window at the trees passing by. Today was a beautiful day. The sun wasn't too hot and the wind wasn't too strong. The air was fresh and breathable and I was in a good mood. It has been two days since Mykel and I mated and it was still fresh in my mind. The way he held me all throughout the night and kissed me every ten seconds. Moments like those are meant to be cherished forever. We all have good and bad times but pushing away the bad ones and keeping the goods one was all that matters. Today it was just me and grandma. She told me of a long time friend who just moved here and she wanted to visit her. I couldn't say no when she asked me to accompany her. I've been at home way too many Saturdays so going out this once was good for me. Mykel's only response when I told him that I won't be home was that I should be careful. Since we mated and I bare his mark he'll be able to tell if I was in danger and will be there in a split second to save me.
~MYKEL KNIGHT~The pack was quiet. There was nothing that needed to be said. We all knew this was coming sooner or later. The first ones to always betray us was our own family. The first ones to try and take what you've achieved through blood, sweat and tears. I pity them for being so envious.Leville had decided to rage war against us. We received his letter and now we were all crowded infront of the pack house. My father hasn't spoken a word since. I could feel the anger radiating off him in waves. It was hard to miss.I could sense the fear and anger from almost everyone. They wanted to ask questions, too many to answer but no one wanted to speak up. Leville was playing a hard game but he will lose miserably. If he wants a war so bad, we'll give it to him."Alpha, I have a question", Mica one of the pack warriors said and I ushered him to continue. "Is this a war we will win? I'm all for fights and defending our lands but...can we really win? Can we win without losing half of our
~NALINA ROMIREZ~I had this odd feeling that someone was following me. No one seemed out of the ordinary but the feeling wouldn't go away. I left school about half an hour ago and just arrived at the bus stop. I had to walk back to the craft shop because the driver was too busy singing songs that he didn't hear me telling him to let me off. I could see it in the distance but I had to walk for a good five minutes.I glanced over my shoulder but I didn't see any suspicious cars or people. I hate having to always be on the lookout but it was a must for me now. I was a target and I can't forget that. I walked faster trying my best not to bump anyone on the way. Mykel flashed acrossed my mind and I released a groan. I was upset with him. I understand his concern for me but I couldn't possibly lock myself at home everyday. He wasn't happy about me getting a job but I told him I didn't care what he thought. I was only a bit mad at myself for talking to him like that but I wasn't a child. I
"I don't hear anything", Quinn said as he placed his ear at the door and listened. The place was dead silent. This part of the shop wasn't really easy to find but they should've found us by now."Me either, they're searching for us", I replied as I stood up from my position. I've tried contacting Mykel through the link once more but I couldn't. I didn't get why it wasn't working but all I hoped for was that he gets here soon.I watched as Quinn shuffled back and came beside me. I listened keenly and that's when I hear footsteps coming this way. I swallowed as I pulled him to the far back with our backs against the wall. If they do get in we had nowhere to run to, we were trapped."Princess, are you going to open the door or should I kick it down", I heard Jace's stupid voice said and I grit my teeth."FUCK YOU!", I shouted back as Quinn clung to me even more."Don't worry princess, you'll do that soon enough", was his sadistic reply as I heard laughter. My body was trembling and I tri
I woke up feeling drained to my limit. My body felt like it was suffering from paralysis. I groaned as I tried to move my fingers and toes. I had used up all of my energy yesterday. I didn't really want to kill them but I had no choice. It was either them or my pack. The left side of the bed was empty. After I used up all my energy and the dungeon collapsing, I must've fainted because I don't remember much. I could feel Mykel's arms around me all night but I was too drained to even respond. I don't even know how long I've been sleeping for.I didn't want to think too hard but I knew the war was only a taste of what else was to come. There are much more dangers out there. I sat up slowly and rubbed my tired eyes. Mykel's scent was weak which meant he had left much earlier. The pack needs him. We had lost so much members yesterday. Too many to count. I threw the covers off my body and got off the bed. I felt a bit dizzy so I had no choice than to sit back down. I still wasn't sure how
~NALINA~I urged Clyde to drive even faster. Something was wrong at the pack house and it was driving me crazy. I wasn't sure what it was but I feared the worst. It could possibly be an attack and I only know of one person who would do that. Leville. Family had a way of always treating their blood like shit. You can't trust anyone even them because they are the same ones who will betray you. I knew Mykel was an excellent fighter but if Levi did attack them they could possibly be outnumbered. Mykel would urge me to stay away or stay safe but not this time. I wasn't sure what I could do but I had to try something. It's sad to say but if my pack goes down I'll go down with them. "Shit!", Clyde said as he stepped on the brakes and the car came to a quick halt. As much as I didn't want to believe my thoughts, the sight infront of me couldn't be explained any other way. The war was actually happening. There were too many bodies to count both from my pack and the attackers. With shaking ha
MYKEL KNIGHTWhen my father told me he had friends who could help with the war Leville demanded, I didn't expect it to be just five people. They weren't human for sure but I was still expecting a full group. The first guy who seemed to be the leader sat on the opposite side with a stern look on his face. The other two men sat beside him with the same expressions. The two girls present were beautiful but not as beautiful as my mate. My wolf agreed on that thought."Marcus, it's been a while", my father said to the man who only nod. "It has. Why did you decide to contact us after so long?", Marcus said resting his hands on the table. I sat upright in my seat keeping my eyes on the group infront of me. They didn't look that intimidating but looks can be quite deceiving. "I'm not sure if you remembered my brother Leville but he demanded a war on us and we could use a few extra hands", my dad replied but Marcus seemed rather unimpressed. I glanced at the girls and I noticed how the one
All eyes were on me when I entered the classroom. Maybe it was because my grandmother had died or maybe it was my appearance. It was a new me. I got a haircut, a much shorter one. I dyed it in jet black with a few streaks of red. I looked different but has a change ever hurt anyone?.I ignored the stares and took a seat at the back. Avan stayed home today to fill in our parents on everything. I was angry and hurt that they actually hurt my grandma like that. She didn't deserve it and whoever did it will be paying with their lives.As for my eye color it was still the same shade of purple. I didn't know what it meant but I had a feeling it wasn't dangerous. I didn't know anyone who I could ask...if my grandma was still alive she would've told me what it signifies. I grit my teeth at that thought."Miss Romirez, I offer my condolences. Your grandmother was a very sweet woman", my professor Mrs. Greene said before giving me a sympathetic smile.I only nod and returned one and then preten
They always say everything in life happens for a reason. But that's not true. Then what are those reasons when innocent people are abducted or killed? Did those innocent people do a crime and try to cover it up? No one knows and no one will ever know. Lives that are taken can never be replaced. My body was rigid as I sat on the leather couch. My shoulders slumped as I stared out to space. I could feel everyone soothing me or trying to touch me but I couldn't respond. My entire body and mind was elsewhere as different emotions take me over.My Grandma's body was in the kitchen but there was no blood. No signs of a fight or anything to say that she was killed in cold blood. Her body was just on the floor and her eyes were wide open. I still couldn't get the image out of my head. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that they killed her. They didn't get to me so they went after her. "Miss Romirez, I'm detective Conwell. After inspecting the body some more I found no visible cu
~U N K N O W N~I hummed quietly as I looked at the worthless mutts infront of me. They were not worthy to be in my presence. They had one fucking job and they failed me!. Just get me a witch, that's all I asked and they failed me."W-We are so sorry Alpha, please forgive us", Effie I believe her name is pleaded with me. Daija on the other hand was awfully silent. No tears, no pleading, no begging. I hate that."You failed me. Jace called saying he had a plan and that he would bring her to me. What the fuck happened!", I roared slamming my hand on the mahogany desk. They were testing my patience."Her mate and brother showed up and we fled. You know we aren't strong enough in our panther forms--SILENCE!. You are fucking panthers for christsakes and you let some mutts over power you! I should throw you in the dungeon for this", I retorted glaring at the both of them. "Please don't we didn't mean to fail you. I don't want to go to the dungeons again, please", she begged as tears sprun
I wrapped the towel around my body and exit the bathroom. Mykel was sitting on the bed and when he saw me his eyes darkened. I smiled as I walked up the bed and examined the clothes he picked out for me. Just a pair of shorts and a red shirt.I dropped the towel absent-mindedly and pulled on the pair of shorts. Mykel's eyes never left my body and I knew he wanted to devour me. But this wasn't the time. We have to go to the dungeon to question Jace and the others. I need to know what they wanted with me and who sent them."I wish I could just taste you right now", Mykel said as I felt his hot breath on my neck. My body shivered when his hands snaked around my waist and pulled me into him. I was only half-way through buttoning my shirt so everything was on display."Let me help you with that", he said as he turned me around and started buttoning my shirt. I tried to hide my facial expressions when I felt how hard he was against my abdomen. I bit my lip as I avoided his eyes. God he was
