KylieI took a step back as they stepped forward to reach me. My every move was quiet and light as I tried to maintain eye contact with the three of them, disregarding my racing heartbeats.“Who are you? What do you need?” I asked with the hope it would somewhat distract them. But like a hungry lion with his prey, their eyes were locked with mine.My unsteady knees were making it hard for me to continue to step away, but I kept going until I felt my hips hit against the kitchen counter. My hands scanned through the top of it, searching for anything to use against them.There were three muscular and tall men in front of me. No matter how skilled I am at fighting, I will end up losing.After my hands didn’t feel anything placed on the counter, my heart thumped harder.I just need something. Just something! I was shaking so badly as my hands traced down the handle of the drawer of the counter.Praying to the Moon Goddess was the only thing I had in mind or else I hoped miracles would hap
KylieI remained shut, trying to figure out who the familiar voice was. But it didn’t last longer as I was forcibly twisted. Because her hand was gripping both my arms, it was a lot easier for her to control me.There was no hint of surprise on my face upon realizing it was Hanna.Although she had a twin sister, I didn’t need to think twice because only Hanna would have the means to come for me and do this.“Hey, Hanna,” I playfully mocked. “Did you make it as Logan’s Luna? I bet the Pack is yet to recover, hmm?” I leaned in closer to her, and spat, “Because you’re still by his side like a puppet.”Her teeth gritted and she held my arms tighter. It caused me pain, but I couldn’t pay any attention.She was the reason why I was banished in the first place. Logan and I were getting along until she came acting as if she was someone significant... Well, she is, because she's got everything Logan wanted his Luna to have; wealth, and title, which I don't.Aside from the fact that she’s nothi
KylieThe other twenty warriors that were inside the training hall were commanded by Jacob to surround the packhouse. We didn’t get any answer from Hanna on how many members they brought. But we have no choice but to take our chances. We at least got to try.“Don’t hesitate to kill anyone you’ve come across. There were no exceptions. Not even their almighty Alpha,” Jacob had made it clear for the third time now.Allan and Bianca volunteered to lead the twenty warriors to the backdoors, which the Eclipse Pack couldn't have known. While Carlo, Larry, and the other two warriors who were keeping Hanna came with us.A piece of cloth was gagged into Hanna’s mouth to refrain her from making any sound as we made our way back to the Pack’s mansion.The silence that rang through the corners of the mansion made my thumping heart worse. We have no idea what awaits us inside.As soon as we all made it inside after stepping into the double doors, the light suddenly flicked open. Every light was tur
KylieLogan's steps were quick and big, but I forced my legs to stride bigger to keep up with him. My eyes were fixed on his back, and I felt my chest pounding every second that passed. He entered Freya’s room and left the door ajar. It was as if he really wanted me to follow him.When my feet landed inside the room, I caught Logan already standing in front of the glass window.“What are you planning?” As soon as my shaky voice echoed inside the room, he was forced to look back at me with a devilish smirk on his lips.“You’re too fast,” he uttered, tilting his head to the left.Blazing yet dark, his eyes went up to my head and down to my toes. Logan clicked his tongue before he turned back to face the window behind him and threw his clenched fist at it. The glass window shattered into pieces.“Logan!” I squealed, afraid that Freya might get hurt by the tiny pieces of glass.He indeed looked back, which I immediately regretted as he began lowly growling. My feet automatically took a st
KylieI was stunned, staring blankly into his eyes, which turned softer in an instant. The soreness and brittleness of his voice kept on ringing into my mind.Did I just hear him ask me to choose him? He doesn’t seem to understand what he’s doing.A man like Logan was never used to rejection. But asking me to choose him while using our daughter as a threat is ridiculous. Logan’s eyes glistened with tears welling up in them. I waited for him to take back what he said, thinking it was just his wolf’s fault, but he added, “You heard me right.”And what about Hanna? She was the root of all of our chaos. Hanna was the reason why I was banished. Or is it because the arranged marriage would be over soon, just like what he promised me back then?The need to voice those thoughts was present, but the courage to do so was nowhere to be found.I’m afraid to ask for anything. I was afraid because I knew he was never there for me when I needed answers. Logan didn’t choose me before; why is he aski
KylieLogan shifted his eyes on me and upon seeing me helplessly kneeling, his jaw was clenched before a smirk formed into his lips.My heart was flaming, and my chest was heavy. The melancholy darkness filling the room won’t be able to express how crushed I felt at that moment; unable to do anything to save my daughter. This was my fault.Blood splattered across my face. He didn’t stop piercing Freya with his claws until her sobs halted. Not hearing my daughter’s painful wail made me realize that her own father had killed her.With the heavens and hell suppressing me harder, a loud and throbbing shriek came out of my quivering lips.An uncontrollable amount of anger was filling my nerves. My palms, which were in a tight fist, started to bring me pain because my nails were replaced by my claws. It pierced my own flesh, but I was too numb to even react to the pain.Logan shattered me into pieces when he decided to banish me and chose Hanna to be his Luna. But I rose up because that’s
Kylie“Are you sure you don’t want to return home before midnight?” Lucas exhaled before his fist was thrown at my face.I lifted my right arm and blocked his punch with my palm. As soon as I got a grasp of his bulge and hefty fist, I shoved it away and extended my other arm to hit him.“My birthday was nothing special. I’d rather stay here to train.”Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, but I was too preoccupied to even wipe them. Fighting for me was a piece of cake but it was kind of harder with Lucas because he was our late Alpha’s son.The motivation to be good enough as their Beta was the only thing that kept me going.“I’d like to say you were looking forward to being the Pack’s Beta rather than meeting your mate,” Lucas laughed.That’s a truth I won’t deny.His balled-up fist landed on the left side of my jaw, which caused my face to wince with a slight hint of pain. I was ready to hit him back when both his hands were abruptly raised into the air as an indication of surrende
KylieThe slight ache in my chest grew bigger as I watched them walk past me as if I were just a ghost. No one had warned me that seeing my mate being intimate with another woman would hurt me this badly. The feeling was so new to me that I failed to snap back.Being left standing in shock, Victor, the Pack’s Gamma, brought me back to reality.“Let’s go, Kylie. You’ll be the Pack’s Beta anyway.” He pulled my wrist until reaching the dining room where all of the Pack officials were seated.Too many thoughts lingered in my mind that I couldn’t even pay attention to the meeting. My eyes were locked on Logan trying to find any answers. However, he was not even giving me a look.“I want the marriage to take place as soon as possible,” his stone-cold voice echoes through my mind, pushing me to listen attentively.My heart pounded so loudly that it vibrated against my quivering flesh.“Can’t wait to be my Alpha, huh?” one of the Luna twins playfully chuckled.I felt like a ton of arrows were

KylieI could hear my heartbeat ringing through both my ears, disallowing me to mind anything around me. It was as if everything shut down and the only thing I got my attention to was Dianna.Dianna was then muted after that, making the torment of my racing heart worse.“Wha..?” Suddenly, my voice was low as I failed to hide my nervousness by stuttering because of my hitching breath. Placing my trembling hands behind me, I licked my lower lip, which was cracking as my throat ran dry.Her lips were twitching widely into a grin and the need not to let her feel that her accusation was driving me nuts began to fill me. I completely had no idea whether she was bluffing or if she really knew the truth about me, but I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of seeing me moved.“What makes you think I’ll be rattled by that?” I forced myself not to stutter and conceal my fear with the hope she was lying just like me.Dianna’s brows came together into the middle, puzzled, seeing my calm demeanor. A
Kylie“I can’t join you,” Jacob said straightforwardly, making my heart cheer in glee.A smile appeared on my lips hearing his response, but before anyone could see it, I bowed my head down.“What?!” Dianna freaked out, slamming the table with her palm, causing the utensils on top of it to clank.“If you are thinking about the training for the warriors, I can take over it,” Larry chimed in.Jacob shook his head once. “No, Dad. Freya also had her follow-up check-up today,” he casually said, taking in a piece of bacon inside his mouth like he didn’t give a damn about the fact that Dianna’s veins were popping out of her temple in anger.“That Freya over our baby in my womb?” I overheard Dianna sharply murmuring.I could feel blood running out of my face as my entire body ran cold. I was suddenly scared of where this conversation would go. Everyone here knows the truth about Freya’s father and I wouldn’t ever want her to be compared to Jacob’s real child that’s in Dianna’s womb.“And? So
KylieJacob groaned heavily, “Who will be interrupting me early this morning.” I felt his lips on my neck one last time before he stood up, his shoulders slumped as he attended to the door.I sat down on the mattress, fixing myself, when just a minute after I heard the door creak open, it was then quickly shut. Jacob walked back to bed, his face wrinkled and his brows meeting each other in the middle.“Who is it?” I asked out of curiosity, seeing his face crumpled with annoyance.Just a second ago, his lips were widely stretched into a bright beam, then after attending to who was at the door, his face was suddenly long.Before Jacob could utter a word, another knock from the door rang, but at this time, a woman’s voice called for his name. Having this odd feeling building up in my mind, I stood before him and went to the door.Upon opening it, I wasn’t wrong to see who was behind it.“Oh,” she gasped, placing her palm over her mouth. “Good morning, Kylie.”“What do you need?” I strai
