My dad walked towards me. His powerful temperament being an Alpha earlier became soft as he moved near me. Then he hugged me so tight.
It touched my heart. He's still the loving father I used to know. Then tears filled my eyes as I felt how much he missed me through his warm hug. And I missed him as well.
My dad withdrew his arms from me. Then he asked while wiping the tears from my cheeks. "Ayira, why did you run away? Do you know how worried I was when you left?"
I knitted my brows. Then I shoved his hands away as anger rushed through me as I remembered what he did to me and what he did fifteen years ago.<
Blaze's POV I was puzzled why Ayira suddenly cried after she talked to Evan Roosevelt. I wondered what he told her, that she reacted like she was in great shock. Moreover, why did she apologize to me and run away from me afterward? Those were the questions that were rolling in my mind as I chased her. I called her, but she didn't even look back. But then, I still followed her until she went out of the mall. So I clearly saw it when Evan's car stopped in front of her. Then she glanced at me. I could feel her hesitation by the way she looked at me.
Ayira's POV "From now on, never leave my side, okay?" Blaze whispered in my ears while I was in his warm embrace. Almost every night, I dreamed of that scene when Blaze told me those words. And it was almost every night I would wake up with tears in my eyes. Like now, I woke up in the middle of the night crying. I got up off my bed and walked towards the window and opened it. Then I rested my arms and chin on the stool and looked up at the waxing gibbous moon with melancholy in my eyes.
'Do you really want to see him?' Sierra asked solemnly. 'Yeah, I want to see him for one last time, even from afar.' I admitted. Right. I must see him for the last time. And that last time would be my goodbye. I must let him go or I would suffer forever. Because my love for him hurt me like hell, knowing that even though he's my mate, we're not meant to be together. Sad but true, because our fate had been twisted fifteen years ago when our pack invaded theirs. 'Answer me first how much you miss him.' S
My heart was racing in my chest as I marched down the aisle because I had a lot of mixed emotions about this marriage, knowing that it was not my destiny to marry Evan. I knew very well that I was destined to be with Blaze, my mate. That's why I couldn't understand why destiny let me meet him or I should rather ask why we became mates, if, in the end, we would not be together. If in the end, we would only fight each other. Sigh. I shouldn't be thinking of Blaze anymore. It's not right. But what could I do? I couldn't help myself thinking of him as my heart was shouting, firmly opposing this marriage. Nonetheless, my mind won over my heart as I already accepted that it was my fate. I had no other choice but to embrace it wholeheartedly. Because sometimes the more that we fight for our destiny, the more we hurt ourselves, the more we suffer in misery. Thus, I let myself go with t
The luminous silver moon that was shining brightly like a diamond in the night sky, hid behind the dense clouds, making the picturesque surroundings look misty. Evan and I were already a few meters away from our house. But I had a hard time running. Thus, I halted as I removed my shoes, while Evan tore my wedding dress and made it up to my knees. Then I looked back in my dad's direction and saw him shift into his wolf. Everyone was in an uproar, attacking and defending each other. But my eyes widened i
I heard Blaze's wolf roar as he was about to attack us. But I suddenly opened my eyes when I heard another growl, defending us from the attack. I turned and saw Primo's wolf fighting with Blaze. However, Blaze's wolf was remarkably strong. I witnessed how many times Primo's wolf knocked to the ground. "Primo!" I shrieked as tears streamed down my face when I saw blood gushing from his neck after Blaze hit him. "Ayira, you should escape now. Let us handle this." My dad mumbled weakly. His breath grew thin and ragged.
I was walking dejectedly while Blaze and Ben were following me from behind.I looked up at the moon that was so bright and beautiful, shining its entire glory in the sky, illuminating us, as we made our way to the land of our pack warriors, where the dungeon was located.Sadly, its radiance was not enough to eliminate the sorrow that was darkening my heart.The Golden Moon Pack defeated us. There's no more Snow Moon Pack.I was now a slave of an Alpha, lower than an omega. But it's okay, as long as my dad is sa
That night could be my happiest moment, giving my purity to the one I loved. But my heart was like bursting in pain, knowing that Blaze was only drunk, and he only did that to punish me. There's no more love. No more warmth. And no more Blaze. The Blaze I loved before. Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at him lovingly, caressing his exquisite face. How could you treat me so badly? How could you look at me so coldly? As though you didn't love me. As though yo
Blaze's POV. Ayira and I agreed to visit Hina’s grave since it was her death anniversary. We also decided to take a trip to the island where Ayira stayed before to visit the townspeople there and her students. I could see in Ayira’s eyes the excitement of going back there. I would not wonder since she got really attached to the people on that island, especially to Hina. She took care of her when she was at her lowest. She fed her, offered her a place to stay, and treated her like her own family. We used my private yacht heading directly to the port near the island. While on our way, Ayira was telling Summer about her life on the island, including her experience as a teacher. Summer was listening attentively to his mom and would laugh from time to time about his mom's silly experience in teaching. It was already dark when we arrived at the hotel. We checked in immediately as we got hungry due to long travel. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and went back to our room to
Ayira's POV It was a brand new day. Blaze and Summer were busy playing video games. So I made myself busy in the kitchen. Then I checked the pantry and found out that we were running out of some supplies already. So I decided to go to the market. "Hi, mom. I will go to the market to buy some supplies. Do you have anything to add?" I asked when I saw her enter the kitchen. She thought for a while before she responded. "Oh, yes. I want to buy some ingredients to make a vegetable salad. But I think I'd be
It was heartbreaking to see someone you love leaving with someone else. And because of that unfortunate event in the past, I suddenly felt I had no right to fight for her. And because of that event, she chose to leave me and her son just like that. I could accept if she resented me, it's understandable. But leaving her son didn't make sense at all, since I knew very well how much she loves our son. I looked at Ayira for the last time. Suddenly, I heard Marcus whisper. 'Blaze, after everything, you will just let her leave like that?'
We slowly made Summer understand what wolves were. Ayira told him stories about how she lived in the New Moon World when she was young. And we let him understand that we should be careful not to show to anyone in the human world that we were different from them. We also explained that grandpa was a human, not like us. But Summer was really intelligent. He asked us why was grandpa was living with us if he's a human. Good thing, he later understood that he was once a friend of my grandfather before the world was divided into two. However, there was one thing I was afraid about. It was Summer's intuition that his mom would leave us. It buzzed me almost every day as I knew the reason.
Blaze's POV The following morning, I went to the library and searched for my old books. I remembered I had a book about ancient wolves before. Perhaps, I could find some information there about Summer's power. I read almost everything that day while Summer and Ayira were busy with their lessons. Right. Ayira really loved teaching so she volunteered herself to be our son's tutor. That's why as early as two years old, Summer already learned the alphabet and basic counting. I was grateful for that because
Ayira's POV As agreed by everyone, we decided to go back to the villa in the mountains. We thought that Summer would ask questions about our sudden decision to move house like he used to do every time we would go out. But surprisingly, he was just quiet throughout our journey. And due to the long travel, he slept on my lap. However, as we reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly screamed. "No!"
It has been 4 years since Summer was born. He grew up as an energetic little boy that he took after me. He was also fond of going outside, even a simple walk by the shore that I guessed he took after from his mom. However, as he grew up, he began to show that he was different from the other children he got along with. He was more mature and stronger than the other children of the same age as him. And that was what we were worried about. How could we explain to him our true identity? That we were different from human beings? By the time he was 3 years old, his special skills began to show.
Blaze's POV Days have passed and we really got used to living here on the island with our precious one. Summer also enjoyed some morning walks and laughed when his feet touched the sand. I loved that priceless moment, hearing his giggles that were like music to my ears along with the soft laughs of his mom. However, one morning, I woke up seeing Ayira beside me but my eyes widened when I did not see Summer in his crib. “Where is Summer, Ayira?” I hurriedly asked her when I saw her open her eyes.
My first two trimesters of pregnancy were really a challenge for us. I used to puke almost everything I ate and I felt like it was such a waste so I tried sleeping every after meal just to avoid throwing up the food I had eaten. And there came a point when I could no longer get out of bed because of my morning sickness. And because my pregnancy journey wasn't easy, Blaze decided to call his mom and let her stay with us until I gave birth to our beloved baby. His grandfather also came with Aurora since he was also excited to see his great-grandchild. But the good side of my pregnancy was, I felt how mu
