Oishin's point of view (9 years ago)The shower stream turns off abruptly over my head and I hear a heavy thud beside me. Cian wheezes out a breath as he tries to even out his breathing. Everyone has almost headed back. The water continues to drip into my eyes as I stare out across the extensive field."That wasn't fair,” barked Cyan followed by another audible gasp for breath. He was fighting for his life. He grimaces as he leans to the side, hitting his lungs for air and from the pain.I wait as he continues taking deep breaths until he can breathe normally again. We were out by the posts where we hose off before heading back to the pack house. "You're going to murder your pack members off during training and if you continue like this we won't survive until the end of the week. You can handle it, we can't."His words were falling on deaf ears and my irritation grew at his presence. I just needed five minutes to clear my head because ever since this morning my temper has been soarin
Aine’s Point of ViewIt took a while for my brain to catch up with what was happening. Luna Camilla was hugging me; her warm floral scent flooded my nostrils and the peach frills on her dress tickled my nose. I sharply pulled away from her. I was not only confused but it was strange. Luna Camilla had never hugged me in all the time I was with Oishin. Sure, we greeted each other but it was never a hug. Now here she was behaving as if I was her long-lost daughter in law that she had accepted as her own and we had been close. She had never been that friendly or warm with me.Her golden hair, nicely curled, caught the light as she beamed at me. You'd think I was a lottery ticket. She was still dressed nicely after all these years, in an expensive coral beach dress with dangling seashell earrings painted gold but her face was tired. She looked worn out and less of herself, unsure, lacking even. She wasn't shining brightly anymore; she didn't seem so beautiful and out of reach.There wasn'
Oishin’s point of View4 years ago"Again we apologise. It won't happen again, Alpha Oishin. It was a grave mistake. Things just got heated at the moment. We would never ever think of doing anything outside of your event especially on an occasion like this. I guess you can say it's our excitement of being here at the celebration and crowning of the Alpha King. Everything just got out of hand." Alpha Erikson meekly reassured, leaned against the hood of his car, apologising for the hundredth time for almost starting a fight. They were about to have their pack war outside my event. Night had almost fallen and the event had already started. I didn't think I would have to be out here on a night like this reminding grown men to have some home training but here I was. The air outside had gotten colder and the stars were already dotted across the sky. The moon should soon make its appearance, the main star of the show. There was a strain and a bitter taste in my mouth at the thought of wha
(still happening 4 years ago after Oishin chose Caitlin) I was cold and distant with her because if I wasn't I'd crumble around her and take her back. I was fighting hard already not to. I did enjoy sex with Caitlin but it was fleeting. It was five seconds of feeling good and it didn't compare. Now the thrill was waning. That was another reason I wanted to keep Aine as my mistress. I took a deep breath as my hand trembled, feeling the dizziness from the amber liquid. I try to remember what her hair smelled like and I take a few seconds before I calm down. I could feel my wolf rebelling. There's a knock on the door and I put the glass and the bottle in the drawer, closing it shut. I signal for whoever it is on the other side to come in and my father waltzes in with a man around his age in tow. He swallows up the room with his presence and I was starting to wonder at what point he was going to leave. The party has been over for a few days now. Yet here he was still lingering, stil
I had paid a blind eye to the renovations Caitlin had been carrying out. In fact, I didn't care. I had too much on my plate and Caitlin didn't provide any additional support. If anything, she provided more work, making my workload heavier. Though she was very beautiful with charm and charisma, she was lacklustre when it came to doing luna work. She was lazy.I had already known why Caitlin’s pack couldn't thrive and now it was more than evident in the past few days. I was shouldering it all. She was a terrible luna. She was vain and now that I've been between her legs the glamour was wearing off. She spent recklessly on frivolous things to impress others and all she did was waltz around in expensive clothes and jewelry. She woke up late, dressed nicely and waited to be served for everything, doing nothing for the entire day.Even the pack members were waking up to the fact that even though she was what they had liked their preferred luna to be as a prestigious pack, they were being
One more glance in the mirror was enough to tell me that I was excited to see Tyga again after weeks of being separated. I stared at myself, I couldn't see the once weak girl who always lived behind the beauty of my late sister. I was no longer the ‘that’ girl who couldn't say no to her parents or even make a decision by herself. I was no longer the former ghost of my old self. “Aine, Tyga’s on the way. He had some warriors with him,” Olivia said as she knocked on my door.“I’m coming,” I said and then looked at my own reflection and smiled. When I mentioned Oishin about Tyga coming here, he was shocked. I told him that Tyga offers his help to get his pack back. He was taken aback but then he nodded. Pain flooded in his eyes but I don’t care anymore. My kids have been excited wanting to see Tyga too. They have been asking me non-stop to why we’re here and not to their favorite person’s pack. Tyga has the most perfect looks when we welcome him and numbers of warriors following him.
Tyga’s Point of View“Mate when with her ex mate!” My wolf has been nagging me ever since we received Aine’s text about her going with Oishin. “I know. Oishin and I talked about this last week. Calm your nerves, Anne will never betray us.”“Ugh, that’s Aine, not Anne. Do not mistake her with someone who’s already dead.”I felt a little bit irritated when my wolf said it like Anne was not our mate. “She was. Now we have a new mate. Don’t mess this up or you’ll regret everything. I knew you were so obsessed with Anne but she’s dead. DEAD!” my wolf shut me off and I was left heaving a sigh. Mate, words become meaningless for me unless it’s Anne. Only she could make me whole, to be myself again. A word that I have never failed to hear every minute of my existence on this Earth. Yet, it still fails to have even the slightest meaning to my knowledge since my precious Anne was taken away from me. "Tyga, I think you have to let go of the Idea that Aine is Anne before it’s too late. The w
Three days after Tyga and I decided to return back to the Black Cerberus Mountain, Oishin wished for me to talk. I stared at Oishin for quite some time in utter confusion. Why did he want to talk to me so badly? Better yet, why was he talking to me this way? The deal was done. Tyga helped him get his pack back. Well, there was only one way to find out. I was going to have to talk to him against my mate's wishes. I knew if Tyga found out about any of this he would be furious with me and probably kill Oishin.I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and then released it."Okay, Oishin, what do you need to talk to me about," I asked, sighing."Come to the lake side so no one sees us," he said. I frowned."I am most certainly not going into the lake with you!" I huffed. Was this man truly ignorant? He must know that we’re done, yet he has the audacity to ask me to step into the woods, which my mate has forbid me from, with him?Oishin sighed and shook his head. "Fine, at least stay her
