KylieI swallowed hard, feeling my throat running dry. Keeping my arms crossed together, I moved my head aside trying to deny the fact I knew who that scent was.It should be coming from only one person. This scent that never failed to make my heart flutter, my hands sweaty, and my knees weak.“Hey, whose scent is that?” Acting like a fool, I talked to my wolf, trying to hide my breathing that was slowly shifting rapidly. “Who’s nearby?”But I heard no response. Suddenly, she was entirely muted.The need to confirm if what I smelt was correct was getting bigger than my fear of crossing ways with Logan. I’d rather confirm if it were him. I don’t care what I will end up doing if I ever see him again.Since my wolf isn’t helping at all, I have got to figure this out on my own. I stepped out of the hut, allowing the rain to soak my body. Barefoot, my feet started to move forward. My mind was flooded with so many what-ifs that I didn't even look back to see Jacob.“Hey, what happened?” I k
LoganI was right, or more of my wolf was right. He was acting very strange the moment I stepped into the woods, yelling mate. But I thought it would be impossible. My wolf was just missing its mate.However, here we come, ending up finding her in the middle of nowhere, soaking wet. At first, I was convinced that I was only hallucinating, but being able to hold her in my hands proved it was all part of my reality.Kylie didn’t stop and was about to reach me once again, but Lucas had pulled her about a meter away from me. She was breathing rapidly with a low growl audible from her trembling lips. Kylie was fuming mad, and I knew it was just a matter of time before her outburst. I'm afraid not even Lucas can handle her.“Kylie, what’s wrong with you? Please, calm down,” Lucas reprimanded, gripping both her wrists.“Calm down?! If you didn’t show up I would be dead by now!” her voice squealing with anger and the tears she was suppressing.I scoffed.It’s a good thing she knew that I coul
LoganSeeing blood dripping down my knuckles and being unable to feel every possible kind of pain, made me feel more incredible than ever.As my clenched fist made its firm and straight jab, I kept on hitting the punching bag in front of me, and sweat followed to roll down my forehead.The thought of not stopping until I felt an ache I could not endure in my fist didn’t happen when a firm embrace from behind me appeared. Slowly looking back, I found it was Hanna. She had a broad smile on her face.“I’m ready for my fighting lessons, my Alpha,” she teased.“Oh, really? How ready are you?” I walked up to her, grinning.But instead of replying, she reclined forward before pushing me through my chest with both her palms placed steady.“I see you have prepared for this.”Hanna then put her right foot in front of the other as her arms were upright to block her face. “I’m going to beat you,” she mumbled, and in no time, her right fist was thrown into my face.I managed to dodge it, but in j
Kylie“Why did you leave? And ended up in the middle of this mountain talking to somebody?” Jacob’s eyes were curious as they bore into mine.“I-I thought I saw someone and was trying to ask for directions,” I lied.Jacob remained staring at me while I forced a smile, nodding, hoping it would somewhat convince him.“I got lured by the rain and decided to get myself wet,” I added, chuckling. “But I got carried away and walked a little further.”Even I had no idea where Logan, Lucas, and Helena had gone, that they just vanished into thin air. But I couldn’t care any less because if Jacob happened to see them with me, I would be doomed at that moment.After leaving the mountain, we got back to the Packhouse.“Clean yourselves, and we’ll see each other at the training grounds in twenty minutes,” Jacob announced as we reached the main gate.Everyone left, leaving only Jacob and me.“And you, explain,” he demanded, making my eyes lit in fear.Explain what?!Jacob didn’t let me respond and ya
KylieI was impatiently waiting as he took a step. As soon as the shadow melted away from covering his face, it immediately allowed me to have a clearer look at his features. It was dark, yet I knew I couldn't be mistaken. I froze in my place before I swallowed hard, feeling my throat dry.“Victor,” I called with the utmost certainty, while my lips parted in disbelief.My eyes couldn’t be wrong. I was sure it was Victor! The Gamma of the Eclipse Pack.“Kylie?” he unbelievably asked, confirming my thoughts.Victor's eyes were full of wonder while deep wrinkles slit his forehead. A moment of pure silence rang between us and only my heavy and shaky breathing was heard.“Please don’t kill these two.” I quickly got back into my mind, shifting my eyes to our helpless members.“No,” it was so quick for him to answer while his gaze was locked on my place.“What did you come here for?”Victor shook his head as if pushing himself to return to reality before picking up something from his back po
Kylie“The war was confirmed. They include the place, date, and time here,” Jacob announced, completely crumpling the piece of paper with his jaw clenching.Staring at him blankly, I had no idea what to feel—scared that the war would definitely take place. Or pleased that I’m going to see Logan again and do what I’ve been dying to do with him.Revenge.This was all his fault. Logan was definitely the one responsible for commanding Victor. And the fact that he strictly instructed him to kill anyone they would come across is enough for me to believe he had gone too far.I couldn't help but ask if I really knew him, or if I was just so blinded by the bond that I chose to ignore it.“Can you go back to our room whilst I tell Dad about this?”I quickly nodded to Jacob's request.Leaning in to plant a quick kiss on top of my head, as if reading exactly what's on my mind, he murmurs, “This is not your fault, okay?”But I was too numb to even say anything because I completely felt the opposit
KylieMore of our members had run past, which made Jacob and I part paths. I don't even have the energy to find him anymore. He had to fight and defend his pack, and he could not hold himself back just because of me.My feet got stuck freezing and shaking into the soil. I was left all alone standing by our side, having no idea what to do next.Catching my breath with anxiety rushing all over me, I wandered my eyes around everyone to see if there was any threat coming my way.However, only Logan who remained standing in his place was the one my eyes came down on. Our eye contact didn’t last for too long as my sight was blocked by Jacob’s back.Still in his human form, he was fighting with someone with his hands. I thought he didn’t see me standing behind him, but I was wrong because as soon as he locked the man’s neck with his arm, he looked back at me before twisting his head.A cracking sound of the man’s neck was audible before he lost consciousness.“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you mo
KylieI was miserably shaking that my breathing began to hitch.The black wolf’s eyes glistened with tears before it turned around. My dagger that was still stabbed into its flesh didn’t hinder him from fleeing as fast as he could be away from me.I was left with remorse and dread, not because of what I did, but because I knew how dangerous it would be for Logan. That dagger was laced with wolfsbane and Jacob made sure it had enough amount to make sure any werewolves would undergo severe pain or, worse case, death.But it has already been done. He left, and I couldn’t do anything to take it back anymore.Realizing I could not stay thunderstruck, thinking about Logan while our Pack was in the middle of a battle, I rolled myself up. But as if the heavy burden on my chest wasn’t enough, I caught Bianca not far from my place fighting in her human form.Just a minute later, Bianca flew into the air before her body weightlessly dropped. It was a good thing that she fell on her back and she
Kylie“Jacob,” I called him once again.As soon as he turned around to face me, I was able to see whoever was behind him and with whom he was arguing. Surprisingly, I wasn’t expecting her to be with Jacob late this night outside the Packhouse.Dianna.My eyes were locked with hers, which didn’t last any longer. Her lips formed into a smirk before she tiptoed, reaching out her right hand to Jacob’s nape and pulling him for a kiss.I was glued to my place, watching Dianna’s lips crushing Jacob’s as she mumbled soft moans while her eyes were side-eyeing me. A rush of memories I wanted to get away from my mind started to replay.My lips were parted open and started to tremble along with my lids turning heavy because of tears that threatened to fall any second. The exact pain was present when I saw Hanna seated on Logan’s lap as she crushed her lips to his.Betrayal and anger.However, this time I aim to make a difference. Instead of walking away, which had been lingering in my mind right
Logan“When do I even turn my back on you? I have trusted you with the throne, Logan, isn’t that enough to prove how much I see your potential?” his voice was braided with pleas.My father’s lips were downward, with his eyes filled with disappointment.Every single day, I’ve strived not to give him a chance to feel that. I never wanted to disappoint him. But today’s different.If he was wrecked when Mom left us, then how about Lucas and me?We knew nothing about the world at that age! He had us believe Mom had gone on a special vacation without us. Lucas and I always spend the night in the Pack’s lobby, peeking through the windows, waiting for her; hoping that we were the first thing she’s going to be seeing as soon as she comes back home.But no Mom had come back.We’ve never gotten tired of waiting, but as we grew up, we realized there was no Mom that would come back because she was slaughtered by that Lycan King Larry.So, anyone who might convince me to just forgive them without a
LoganMy brain failed to grasp what Hanna said, staring at her wet face with tears, while I was completely stunned.“Lucas will replace you, Logan.”I’ve never thought of nor even seen Lucas as my rival for the throne. Since we were kids, I had always been transparent with him about how much I dreamed of leading the Pack, even to my parents, especially to my father. Because, unlike every other Pack wherein if the Alpha’s son ends up twins, they both can be the Alphas to lead the Pack, this doesn't apply to our pack.In contrast, the very first Pack elders and officials believed having two Alphas to lead a Pack would only result in disruption in the Pack's governance. Although Lucas and I were both addressed as Alphas, seen as Alphas, and respected like Alphas, only one can step up and actually lead the Pack.And that’s me. That's why I can never lose my place. Not on my watch.Seated on my throne, which I had no idea how long would last to be mine, I watched the Pack elders and a few
LoganI woke up with Lucas standing beside the bed I was lying on, while a Pack doctor was seated on my left side. Raising my left arm, the Pack doctor examined my left elbow, which was wounded by Kylie’s dagger.“It’s fully healed, isn’t it?”“Yes, Alpha.”“I think I’m good,” I said, sitting upright, seeing him digging into his briefcase where tools and medication were placed.The heavy feeling I was having back in the mountains was now nothing and I felt so much better.“We need to take out the remaining wolfsbane before it can cause further damage to your wolf, Alpha,” the Pack doctor announced.Without even waiting for my response, he took out a six-inch syringe. I could only respond with a nod. The Pack doctor then inserted the syringe right into my healed wound.My jaw clenched with the pain I managed to encounter. This kind of pain isn’t even comparable to what Kylie had brought me when she stabbed me her dagger tied with wolfsbane.Just after making sure there was no wolfsbane
LoganSeeing her standing beside Jacob Williams right in front of me, on the battlefield, made my chest ache with a feeling I would forever deny.All this time, I convinced myself to believe I had no affection left for her. But witnessing her standing full of pride and confidence beside another man to support my biggest enemy made me rot in jealousy.I couldn’t help but think that she was supposed to be on my side, the one supporting me in taking the Lycan Pack down, but what happened was most likely the contrary.The war had begun with a single flick of my fingers. I can already sense victory coming our way because beating the Lycan Pack was my only goal and why I wanted to save our Pack in the first place. Because how would we be able to take them down if we cannot even stand against them?All the pain and remorse I’ve endured should pay off by crushing them down.With the scream of anger along with the squeal of pain filling everyone’s ear, my eyes locked with Kylie watching her st
KylieWatching the corner of his lips twitching, the sound of Larry's hand as he clapped caused the wide smirk I had to vanish completely. He kept on clapping until my brows furrowed in confusion.“Hurting their Alpha? I’m impressed, Kylie. Really,” Larry sarcastically convinced, continuously nodding. “But how would you explain what Carlo said? It’s not about what you contributed.” He shrugged. “Because here in our Pack, no one did enough until we won.”I stood still in my place, biting my lower lip that almost bled with shame, replacing the victory I had just felt a while ago. Larry managed to make me feel ashamed of the things I said in just a snap of a second. It was like he knew how to manipulate people really well.“Your courage and strength to hurt their Alpha is nothing if you’re crying towards the death of an enemy.”Larry’s last statement was pinned onto my head the whole day after the meeting. I couldn’t function nor even pay my daughter a visit.I was ashamed of myself.Th
KylieI was hesitant to give Jacob an answer. My mind was contemplating why he would warn me about this.Although Larry’s personality and character are already clear to me—he’s ruthless and merciless. And now, knowing that he cannot accept defeat just adds up. He’s the Lycan King for a reason. Of course, he’s used to nothing but victory.However, I know something about him for sure. He somehow looks out for important people in his life. Just like how he punished those rogues for me, even though violence was still present, it won’t change the fact that he cares.“Do you understand?”I wasn’t able to answer Jacob’s question.“I know you do. You may be confused right now, but trust me and remember this when we get there,” Jacob added.And because of that I was feeling anxious, my stomach twisting in nervousness as we made our way to where Larry requested an immediate meeting.Jacob was the one who opened the door for us and let me enter first. Everyone was shut, and the deafening silence

KylieJacob only stopped sprinting upon reaching the opening of a small cave. He gently placed me down, and before I could even ask what we were doing here, he had his right hand on my wrist while his left hand was on my waist, pulling me with him inside, giving me no other option but to step in.There, I saw our Pack members. Some were hurt while the majority weren't. I scanned my eyes through each one of them to see if anyone had been badly injured. The good thing is that they only got minor injuries.I went on to check on Bianca, Allan, and even Carlo. I was getting paranoid every minute that passed with the fear of losing other loved ones, destructing me.Walking back to Jacob to inform him that everyone seemed fine, my brows furrowed with fright that quickly began to crawl into my chest, seeing blood flowing down Jacob’s chest.“You’re bleeding!” I shrieked in panic.I traced it with my index finger from his chest down to his abdomen to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.“It’s blo
