(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
“A hungry Alpha is a disgrace,” Olivia exclaimed as we were helping the omegas to prepare the food. Although I’m not their Luna anymore, few of them see me as their Luna. “It’s our job as their mates to prepare a delicious meal,” I answered while mixing the marinating sauce that I’ll use later. She groaned and I elbowed her. We were bickering around when Cyan entered the kitchen. “May I speak to you, Aine?” he said, looking at me. “Sure,” I said and walked over to him as I washed my hands. I was about to put the chicken in my mixed marinating sauce when he arrived with a serious face. “You have visitors,” he said. “Who?” I asked him. “I think it might be good if you have to see them rather than asking me,” he said, unsure. “Okay,” I said and I excused myself to Olivia. My wolf’s ears perked up as she sensed my uneasiness. My heart almost sank when I saw my parents talking with Oishin and Tyga. What are they doing here? They have never tried communicating with me for the pa
It was Yuhan. The one who was creating the strange noise was Yuhan. He was the only person I needed to see during times like this, the brother and a friend I wanted to have. “Aine? What are you doing here?” He was worried when he saw me crying. I didn’t have to answer. I just ran towards him and broke down. Understanding what happened, he hugged me back and took the key bringing me and the kids to a place he only knew. I did not need the dull, translucent glow of the moon which was impossible to see from my windowless room to know it was only a few short hours into the next morning.My eyes protested welcoming Yuhan when he abruptly swung the door to my private room wide open.“What do I owe you at this time of night, Yuhan?” I asked, smiling. Yuhan was not pleased with my lacklustre response. He greeted me with a stern, "Rise up Aine. My Alpha wanted to meet you. And he’s not a very patient one."I groaned, rolling to my side to block the distant stream of light coming from the
One year has passed, with the help of the former king’s allied witch, she casted me a potion, a potion that would numb my wolf so that she would never feel any pain and like she had never met her mates. Somehow it did the trick. My wolf was calm now. I was still in the middle of fixing the whole rogue kingdom. And today, I need to fix every group that needed to talk about because they were refusing me as the former King’s heir. "Alpha, are you ready to head out? If we leave now, we should arrive just before midday,” Yuhan insisted on addressing me by my title even though we had known each other. It felt weird having him call me alpha since we were such close friends, not to mention he was like a brother to me."Yeah, let's get this over with," I replied not at all looking forward to what was to come. Phillips was not known for being subtle in the least. Out of the four surrounding groups, I avoided the most. He craved power and did nearly anything to get it.l except that Victor ne
