My worst nightmare was here! The physical education week of the final year students. It was a tradition that in the final year, they would make all the students participate in different sports - track and field, gymnastics, Archery, Shooting, Wrestling, boxing, sword fighting, and many more. Then they would be selected and trained for the rest of the year on the activity they were best at. At the end of the year, they had to compete with their peers of similar strength and have to pass at least one activity to be able to clear the final year.It was a chance for all wolves to showcase their strength and stamina and they prepared for this almost all their teenage lives. The one who shone the most in this week at the beginning of the year kind of ruled the school for the rest of the year. And here I was, battling my teenage years with things I shouldn't have. I was the weakest. And everyone knew this, including myself.Every year, I watched my peers outdoing their achievements. And the
"Are you sure about this?" John asked, his voice tinged with concern. His words made me even more nervous than I was. Jake had said he believed in me and I wouldn't be that bad since my wolf was no longer fully suppressed. He even boasted that I might end up first. That was atrocious and painful, weighing me down. I was not the Luna material he assumed me to be.Ever since that night, I could no longer feel my wolf or its strength. I think my wolf is a horny one, only wanting sex and more sex from Jake. So that's when she shows up.I shook my head, my eyes narrowing, squeezing Kathy's hand as I looked at the first round. All the wolves who claimed to be the best runners and had been winning trophies for our school took part in it. In a flash, the event ended. They ran like light, I guess. "It's alright. No one expects you to run with them." Kathy hissed, even though she was sweating more than me. She had finished first in her competition, yet her worry for me was a sign of the stren
I had tried one last time to see if I could get Jake under my control. Well, if things had worked out, I would have become the Blackmoon pack's Luna. Who knew if that would have changed my fate? But like always - I was rejected. I sighed, putting up the dress. It was time I had to let go of Jake and continue with the original plan. I had to meet the big boss finally.The thought of him alone made me nervous and excited. I don't know why he had such a strong control over me. After he found me when my pack and my family had abandoned me - my life became his. With Jake, for the first time, I thought I might start fresh. But ours was an ill-fated relationship - that was perhaps sealed by the devil himself.I glanced at my phone again, confirming the decoy's appearance. She looked enough like me to pass any suspicion. What if someone trailed me? The big boss had always been extra careful about me our secret relationship. And it had been this way for years. I am not very proud to be his m
I lay still for a moment, my heart still pounding after that intense sex. I loved every bit of it. Dane’s arm sprawled over me as he slid beside me, panting and gasping for air. "That was fucking good, Sylvie." He moaned, his eyes heavy with possession, his breathing uneven. But before I could tell something, he was already on his toes, reaching for his clothes. I followed his suit, gulping down my emotions once again. I would have liked for us to cuddle like lovers for once. But he was always in a rush. As I slipped my dress back on, I glanced at him. He was going through something over his phone, sipping the coffee he made. This man held so much power, yet carried it like a burden. He never fully believed it yet that he was now the alpha of the prestigious Whitemoon pack. He was always suspicious, always wary, always on his toes. He was never at rest, always expecting a challenge. I wondered if the position was worth it. “You said it was urgent,” Dane broke th
“Will it be enough? You keep saying we will be together once you have enough power. But how long do I have to wait, Dane?” I asked, my eyes fixed on his.Dane’s eyes flickered with irritation. “Don’t start with this again. You are an omega, Sylvie. The only reason people think you are a beta is because of me. You should be grateful I even keep you around."Tears threatened to fall, facing his rejection. I should be used to this now. But every time, it hurt more.His gaze softened, wiping the tear that had fallen. “How can you think of it now? You know why we are doing this. I need Linda's support. She is my fated mate." He sighed heavily. I flinched at his words but forced myself to keep my composure. Even if he was trying to comfort me, his words pierced through my chest like a double-edged sword. This was the price I paid for my loyalty to him, for my ambition to rise above my station. I had to swallow the humiliation, the constant reminder of where I came from.His voice toned dow
I leaned back in my chair, staring at the message Xander had just sent me, the images still glowing on my screen. I was right about Sylvie. How could I not see this before? She kept vanishing, claiming she went deep into the forest to interview rogues and hunters and whatnot. All that was a facade to cover up her illicit affair.I should have let Xander tail Sylvie. He was the one who helped me gather information about Elsa. Only if I had pushed further and not believed in the sacrificing story, that Sylvie had put for the world to believe. Sylvie had dropped her car off with some woman dressed like her—same hair, same clothes, same everything. It was a cheap decoy, and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen through her tricks sooner.At that moment, I got a call from Tyler."Jake, I think you were right." Tyler's voice was low, but I could feel the undercurrent of anger.I clenched my jaw. "Even if we know it is Dane, we still need more proof for Elsa to believe us. Did we get any lead on
I took her hand and led her to the bathroom. "Your medication. I think it’s time you stop taking these pills. What you need is focus, training, and meditation. You need to trust yourself again."Her breath hitched, but she didn’t pull away. "Jake? Are you sure?"I nodded. "Yes. Now or Never, Elsa."She hesitated for a moment, but then she agreed, putting her faith in me once again. "Okay." I was feeling more and more responsible towards her. Together, we opened the cabinet, gathering all the bottles of medication that had kept her numb from feeling any emotion. After closely observing Sylvie for a few days now, I strongly doubted that the medicines were intentionally given to her to suppress her wolf. I had sent a sample and her prescription to our pack psychiatrist. The results should be out soon.One by one, we flushed them down the toilet. As the last pill disappeared, I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close. It was a symbolic, important step to cast away the demons
Elsa’s POVThe surroundings became too quiet, except for the noise of the night creatures or the rustling of the leaves under the cool night breeze as we walked through the forest, hand in hand. It was some date - in the middle of the forest. I didn't know what he had planned, but I walked close to him, my heart racing with apprehension."Wow...!!!" My eyes widened as I took in the breathtaking sight in front of me. I thought it only happened in movies. But this was surreal. An intimate, cozy cabin nestled deep in the woods welcomed us. It was far from the pack and everything that tied us to our roles. I needed this freedom.The path was lined with candles, flickering warmly. A table was set up outside, basking in the moonlight. Soft music played in the background, carried by the gentle breeze. Fairy lights were strung around the porch, casting a golden hue, just like in the dramas. A small bonfire crackled nearby, its flames dancing lazily in the night air.I gasped, unable to contai
