Leo. "I'm worried about Kai, he is so clingy to me. Do you mind if l take him home with me?" l asked daringly, even though l knew the question would hurt Mason as his already pale face contorted a totally blank expression. He seems to be under extremely high stress and l could feel my heart torn out bit by bit. Even at the speck of not feeling anything except everything that he is feeling. His sadness, his sizzling anger and that ravaging loneliness. That emptiness calling out to me but I’m so uncertain if l should step in or not. Can l really fill him up? Even though he has made me feel complete since that fateful day we met. My ribs felt maximum and my heart got heavier, beating drastically like my days on earth were longer. Maybe if l could take Kai back home he will be able to gather himself up and recuperate. I don't need anyone to tell me that something isn't right with this house. There is no way a house owner would feel this frightened and scared in their own house. Mason
Mason. I let my back slide against the wall as my leg felt jelly. Weak, powerless and struck with shame. I sat on my hips holding onto the ground with my nails kneading the tiles heartbreakingly. I let out a sob as Leo closed the door behind him. My heart was hit by a thunderbolt as the room became overwhelmingly empty and eerie. Everything suddenly became meaningless again. What exactly am l doing to myself? Why did l allow… Why did l give in to Leo without fighting hard? Without thinking, without consideration? I just allowed him to devour me like that. I brought up my hand, rubbing my lips mindlessly. l fidgeted as it felt puffy and heavy. I went on messaging my butt like the first time when I realised that I wish to be grabbed like that, by a manly strong arms like Leo's. It feels so new, like I'm 16 years old again. Doing the forbidden under my father's roof. Like the moment I knew I longed to be touched and drilled from the inside, the feeling of helplessness.Why should l
Leo."Calm down, will you?" I cuss at Amir, panting uncontrollably. My heart rose up and down, tightening violently and threatening to tear out of my chest.I couldn't stop running! I couldn't even fathom the direction I was heading to! As if my sense of self had dispersed with the wind! As if my entire self had been taken by Mason! As if my life had shifted into an alternate macrocosm and he and I were locked inside! As if my body and soul are ready to risk it all for our mate!It's just a fucking kiss!Fuck fuck!I can't be going crazy over a fucking kiss when I just kissed Roosevelt earlier and got turned on.I can't be going wild over a kiss as if it's my very first kiss but I am. I can't! It's so different! I just kissed my mate! This is what my life has already wanted!Fuck!"Fucking slow down"I hissed, attempting to pull out my clothes gently as my body wanted nothing else but to shift. Amir is not listening to me!I didn't even take in my surroundings. I just went with my i
Mason."Stop throwing things around Kai. Behave, what is wrong with you?" I scold him, trekking downstairs with a heavy towel on my neck to dry my hair.The living room was a total mess and his nanny just stood by to watch him helplessly not knowing how to scold him or if to scold him.The red and blue plush throw- pillows were scattered everywhere on the white tile floor. His different colours of crayons and torn pieces of paper. His books and pencil case were all over the place while he was just running around, jumping and throwing tantrums for fun.Because this is what this is, he is smiling to his ears but a pout is now displayed on his lips."Don't you just stand there Rachel, clean up! What if my father walks in to see his living room like this? What if he comes back with a visitor? Do your job!""I'm so sorry young master, my apologies.""Papa…?""Don't be cute now Kai, you messed up the whole place. What do you think Grandpa will say? He will call you a bad kid.""I'm sorry pap
Leo.I stroll relentlessly to the rooftop after sitting for hours to watch Roosevelt fall asleep.He is such a baby.I wonder what goes on in his head. And I have to say again that there was definitely an untraceable mistake about his genes. He wasn't made to be an Alpha.Probably how I wasn't meant to mate with a wolf.I know he is worried and I would love to make that frown forming deeply on his forehead even when he is asleep to disappear totally. I want to protect him and his Pack too, I mean that is my responsibility as the acting Head Alpha cause I can't proclaim myself to be one as the people proclaim me to be, at least not yet.I place my black hybrid cigarettes on my lips, flickering my lighter to burn a stick. I puff out blue deep clouds taking in the scenery. Watching the whole city from here, cars are tiny. Red light shining even dazzlingly from afar."I thought you quit?" I turn slowly to Zena's voice, trudging towards me in her pyjamas and a pack of can beers in her ri
Mason.The golden morning sun spills into the library, creating spectral dancing patterns on the brown wooden floor. A little ray shading on my face but that didn't deter my attention from the fantasy book I was reading.I blink away the tiredness forming on my eyelids for the umpteenth time, flicking to the next page. Not attempting to allow myself to fall asleep.I can't! Every fucking time I close my eyes I can't help but see a bloody vivid image of that gore sight I saw earlier. It makes my skin crawl. I hate it! It makes me breathless! I want it to disappear from my mind immediately but it's not going.I wandered in here after putting Kai to sleep, thankfully he didn't see that and ran over there because I was shouting.This library has always been my escape place right when I was a child and I would always come down here after dinner after I returned from school. Especially days when my father and mother will be having their usual endless fights, my mother regretting for the nt
Leo."Don't leave, Leo.""I need to make a call, Roose,” I shook my head lightly as he whined, trying to pull me back to the bed with him. "You can continue sleeping all you want."I made my way out.Not like I can fall asleep any longer. I have been unable to since the moment Auden called me. I can't believe he went to Masion's house without my permission.I tried to think back, remembering that fateful night. After kissing Mason, Amir had tried to take control and I couldn't drive and I might have left the car there.It doesn't warrant my Beta to pay my mate a visit.I pace around the house calling Mason to hear from him. I have no idea why Auden was there. I wonder what might have transpired between them.I don't know! I just want to call him and talk to him but he is not responding. I continue pacing around restlessly, mind linking Auden with no responses from him as well.What the heck is going around right now? Auden is short-tempered and I definitely don't buy the idea of h
Mason.“Papa, Ferris Wheel.”Leo laughs, “Do you want to go on it, my big boy?”Kai jumps happily in his arms, “Yes Papa. I want to play.”I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes.I can't believe he said we were going on a family date but he brings me to a fucking amusement park.“Do you want to ride, Mason?”“Ride?” I blush, wondering what he means. Isn't he obviously being suggestive?Of course, I would ride his dick. He doesn't need to ask.“Mason?” He taps on my forehead, “What are you thinking about?”I could see a faint blush on his cheeks as well.“I'm asking if you will go on the Ferris wheel with us?”“No, there is no way I'm going on that.”“Okay then, I will get a ticket for Kai and me.”“Do whatever you want,” I shrugged, annoyed. This is not a date at all. This is for him and Kai to have fun while I just watch from the sidelines.I sat by the bench and enjoyed the busy park. I noticed some children playing tag with their mothers and fathers. Some children were on the swings w
Leo.“Alpha, you are here,” Auden said excitedly, stepping into my office. I nodded, swirling my biro between my fingers as my eyes fixed on the paperwork I was trying to get out of the way.“I made your favourite tea,” He slid the teacup towards me, “Take a break and drink something. Everything is settled now.”“It's settled now but chaos will begin later,” I rub my forehead with my fingers tiredly. I took the cup of tea and placed it on my lips as I sipped on it, enjoying the warm and smooth taste.It's already late and I'm in no way close to finishing this. I'm worried Mason might have waited for us to have dinner together with Kai and I couldn't show up.Immediately I'm done with this I'm running back to my mate.“So…” Auden clears his throat, gaining my attention, “You know you will never be alone, right? Even if a thousand chaos begins in the world I will gladly lay down my life for you.”My eyebrow raised at his sudden confession, “What is going on?”He shrugs, taking a seat at
12 Hours Earlier.Andrew.“Why did you send for me?” Auden rolls his eyes as he steps into my apartment.I had invited him over after I left the club. I need to take the next step for my plan.“Can't I invite an old friend for a drink?”“I'm not your friend, Andrew. If I remember very well you hated my guts, let's not pretend.”I chuckle embarrassingly, “You need to calm down, it's not that serious. At least now we are friends aren't we? And we are working together now.”“I'm not working with you. Even though I responded to your call, I made sure Mason left Alpha Leo’s house and I also gave you the secret paperworks of the mercenaries' consumers. It doesn't mean I work for you, you can't just disappear many years ago and appear again acting like the messiah.”“Don't be difficult, let's have a drink. This is the best on the shelf,” I pour him a glass of Macallan whisky, tak
Leo.“What is going on here,” I ask Auden, who is trying to separate Zena from a fight with one of the oldest elders.The pack is in total chaos.I haven't been in the Pack for only one night and everything has turned upside down. It took me more than an hour to get into the Packhouse because there was a protest going on just outside the gate. The guards are doing everything to keep the place safe and let them have peaceful protests.Zena is still yelling at the elder oblivious to my presence or my thoughts.“That's enough,” I cut them short, the room going silent. Zena shakes Auden's hands off her as she walks towards me, I could see my mother sitting with her hand over her face, frustrated from the situation.“Where have you been,” Zena is angry and her tone is not friendly, “When there is a literal chaos going on in the Pack you are always unavailable. Sometimes I wonder if you are Alpha enough to protect this Pack because this is all your fault.”“Zena!” I growl at her, warning he
Leo.“The bedroom, Leo,” Mason says into our kisses, his hands around my neck, his legs immediately swinging around my waist as I jerk him up. I don't stop kissing him as I take him upstairs.Soon I'm letting his back rest against the bed, settling in between his spreaded legs.“I'm taking this off.”“Yes, please.”I break our kiss, meeting his eyes. Amir purrs in my head at the fire and lust in Mason’s eyes, our mate. I pull his t-shirt over his head, swallowing greedily as my eyes wander on his body.“Holy mother, baby,” I whispered, salivating as my fingers began to trail on his soft skin, “You are so beautiful… You are so perfect. ““Leo…” “I want to see more,” I immediately pulled his pyjama pants out, leaving him naked and spread out under me, “You have no idea how perfect you are for me.”“Stop staring, Leo,” He whines, covering his face with his hands. I chuckled, unbuttoning my own shirt, slowly until his attention was back on me. I tease him before shrugging off my shirt.I
Mason.I woke up with a pounding headache, my vision still hazy with sleep. I snuggle into the soft pillow, groaning tiredly. Small shards of my memories coming to me, I blink my eyes open and the clock by the bedside tell me it's noon.I sat up immediately, wincing at how heavy my head felt. I rub my eyes with my fingers, my mind blank and well rested. I look around my bedroom, I'm alone… A sharp pain pierced through my forehead and an image of Leo came to my head.What did I do yesterday?Was Leo with me yesterday?Wait… didn't I go to the club yesterday?Kai…? I slid out of bed immediately, grimacing from an intense headache but I slowly made my way downstairs, rubbing my eyes to get rid of the itchiness.“You are finally awake, Mason.”I stop in my tracks at the familiar voice, my heart beating fast within my rib cage. I stare wide-eyed at Leo, “I wasn't dreaming?”He raised an eyebrow at me, and then looked away, frowning.He is wearing a white shirt with an apron over it, his le
Leo.I'm about to dispose of the wet towel when Mason grabs my wrists, “Leo, don't go please.” His eyes are closed and his face is morphing into sadness, like he is about to cry.“I'm here, I'm not going anyway.”Tears fell down the side of his face as he held me tighter, “Why can't you just touch me? Leo please touch me and take this feeling away, I'm hurting so much.”I settled down beside him, taking his hand into mine as I released a possessive aura, marking a territory with Mason inside. Making him feel my presence even though he can't see me, making him feel my touch but not with my hands. I lean forward to his scent gland, to the sweet spot on his neck and scent him, sniffing and licking him.I'm ashamed because I don't know if that will work on him as he isn't a wolf but I'm trying my possible best to keep him calm. To keep myself calm. My rut is fast approaching and being close to my horny mate is the last thing an Alpha like me should do.What if it suddenly happens and I ca
Leo.“The High Priestess will come out of her seclusion in two days. It's been two years of her absence, the elders are celebrating her return on the second day of the Blood Moon Festival. Here,” Auden spread a small old map in front of me, “This is where the hunting will take place.”“When will it take place,” I skimmed through the map. I'm here in the office even though it's getting late. I'm foreseeing every preparation for the festival, there is a lot to do.“On the third day until the fifth day, that is until the last day,” Auden explains, his tone in a serious work mode.It is easy this way, both of us are pretending that the discussion the other day never happened. Avoiding a ghost in the room is better than approaching it.That can ruin our friendship and we should move past that. Auden is my closest friend, he knows literally everything about me and it is mutual. He is my beta and he has an aura and power
Mason.“Where are you going?” Jason asks me, stomping his unfinished cigarette under his shoe.“Clubbing,” I tell him the obvious. Tonight I'm dressed extra. I wore my black leather pants with white puffy sleeve shirt, it's made of silk and it fits my body perfectly. I button down letting my chest show, my nipple buds are hard against it.I wore dangling diamond earrings that I haven't worn in a long while, my hair beautifully styled and I used a good amount of cologne. Since tonight is Andrew’s post birthday celebration, he sends the location of a private coterie. It's an expensive bustling hub in the middle of the city.I took my time to look extra attractive tonight, I'm clubbing as a free and happy man. Kai is with his nanny doing his homework, she will put him to sleep afterwards.“Leo never mentioned to me about you clubbing at night. Isn't that risky?”“Well, I don't care about what Leo thinks. I'm going out and you have a choice. Either you drive me there or you give me the ca
Mason.“You didn't have to come here,” David snorted, sulking and rolling his eyes.I quietly drop the things I bought for him on the cabinet, pulling out a chair to sit beside him. Kai runs to him, climbing the hospital bed to straddle him, “Uncle.”He coos at Kai, cupping his cheeks, “My baby, I missed you so much. I'm sorry that you were hurt and Uncle couldn't help you, I'm so happy to see you well.”“Uncle,” Kai squeals, laughing as David begins to tingle him all over. I smile gladly, watching the scene.When they finally settle, David speaks to me again, “You didn't have to come here, Mason. I thought you might have returned to Bavaria City or that fuckface should be able to keep you safe. It's dangerous out here.”“Don’t curse David and Leo is not a fuckface.”“Whatever.”“How are you doing?” I ask him.“I'm not dead, the doctor says thankfully my intestines are safe, it wasn't that deep so I'm okay and recovering,” He shrugs tiredly, “I'm used to getting stabbed.”“It's nothin
