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
The sound of the alarm clock woke me up. My eyes squinted together, wanting to ignore the incandescent ring of my alarm clock. My arm stretched out to turn it off. I laid in the soft silk emerald sheets that clung to my body, wrapping me in its tight embrace. The peacefulness of my morning enhanced as the sun's warm rays entered my room through the opened bay window shutters.I lifted myself up onto my elbows and took a quick glance around the room to get my bearings.The bed in my room that I absolutely love is a cream-colored four poster, and it's placed in the center of the room. In keeping with the art déco theme of my room, I adorned the floor with a soft sheep-skin rug. The mirrored dresser and bedside cabinets were so clean that they looked brand new, without a speck of dirt or dust. Embellished mirrors on the wall added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the walk-in wardrobe, making any woman envious. As soon as I walked in, I could tell that this wardrobe was differen
My limited edition bag carried me across the Lapis Lazuli Lobby where my office was. The click and clank of my heels echoed across the marble floor. The same prestigious faces graced the lobby. They were always the same. Men in tailored suits, crisp white shirts, polished shoes. Women were in dresses and blazers while their skyscraper heels tapped across the floor.As I walked across the lobby, I could see the human men's eyes filled with lust and the women's sleep with jealousy. I smirked, feeling the need for blood this morning. My small display of humanity in the car made me feel angry and weak. The need to be dominant becomes apparent in my blood. I make my way past security to the elevator. Each morning is the same as I lightly tap my foot, waiting for the elevator to come. No one dares to share an elevator with me unless they were my people and not humans. The ding of the elevator hums in the lobby. The doors swing open as I make my way into the elevator. I check my watch and s
The name that slipped through his mouth was one that I hadn't heard in three years. I could feel my body tensing up as I tried to maintain my composure. Thanks to the walls I had resurrected, I could keep my emotions in check. Camouflaging my disgust at that name that seeped through his lips, I calculated my next words.Thoughts raced through my head. Do I ignore what he said and let the silence consume us until he says something else? Do I scream and shout at him, calling him every name under the sun for not realising I was his mate sooner? Do I curse and spit at him for even letting my name leave that snake of a tongue of his?"Aine?" I ask. My tone was filled with fake confusion. I look at him with a slight tilt to my head."Yes, Aine? Is that you?" He whispered. My heart pounds slightly as my name comes out as a plea."Sorry, who is Aine?" I decided to play stupid. There will never be a time or place for me to have the type of conversation he wants to have especially his betrayal
Five years later…"Mom, please don't feed Zero so much candy, you're not the one tucking him in tonight." I told my mom in a plea, she was feeding my youngest with candy all day long and I couldn't deal with one and yet almost like three fits tonight when Zero doesn’t sleep. My mom looked sheepishly."Sorry honey, you know it comes from a place of love." She left Zero's room, leaving me in here with my son who was all dirty with chocolate. Zero was still five but he was too tall for his age. Chea was already thirteen and Eion already in his age of studying to take over the throne. "Chea, sweetheart, can you please clean Zero’s face? I’ll go and get your dad, dinner's almost ready and I need to supervise the setting of the table before the guests arrive." "Sure thing mom,” she answered as she grabbed some wipes and cleaned her brother’s hands and mouth, leaving Zero’s room as cheerful as always.“I’m going to look after Zero, Mom,” Eion said as he entered Zero's room. He swept his
My sweaty hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly, while my hammering heart was threatening to burst through my chest. Fleetingly, I looked around behind the trees, observing the entire werewolf community observing how Oishin was standing beside Yuhan and waiting for me. We were going to complete the coronation together and to become proclaimed as the King and Queen of Wolves."You're nervous, Aine. Breathe, please." Anne said with a small laugh, she was hiding with me. She and Mom helped me get ready, my curls were cascading down my back in waves and the light makeup helped in hiding my heated cheeks. The dress was my favorite part of the outfit though, it had to flash purity and be a little fluffy. I chose a white dress, and slightly conservative style, something you can see royals wearing giving me a natural, but elegant vibe.Feeling an intense gaze hitting me, I searched the crowd of werewolves and found my children looking at me. Eion, as the heir and the first prince, was we
Sitting in the darkness of my room, I looked out of the window while I was sitting on a rocking chair gazing at the castle nearby under the light of the moon. It was crazy to think that I'd be living there in a few days. My life was a roller coaster. There were ups and downs to almost making me lose hope of becoming happy again. After many trials thrown on me, I survived it all. I gave up my pride, just to be with the person who was all my first. The person I never expected to be my soon-to-be husband, the king. Today had been incredible, the chatter in the living room never died down and I'd laughed more than I had. Anne was alive and I couldn’t ask for more. Finally, Tempest was a safe place now for both wolves, in packs or prefered to be alone. A knock on my door shook me out of reminiscing, as I walked towards it I tried not to fall. It was so dark in here and some of my clothes were still on the floor from when I changed into my dress to my pregnancy nighties. Mustering up th
“Yes! Yes! I’ll marry you,” I said with tears in my eyes. I have been waiting for this my whole life. Oishin was smiling. He took the ring, a white gold ring laced with small blue diamond and at the centre was a white square shaped with Diamond. It looked like his family heirloom but it was slightly modified. He then inserted it in my ring finger.“I’m glad I finally replaced the ring I gave you years ago. And I’m sorry it took me so long,” he said. “Silly,” I said. “I don’t care what kind of ring you would have given me as long as there’s you and me,” I replied as I watched the ring. “Soon when Eion is old enough to marry his mate, I’ll pass this ring down to him as our family heirloom.”“Whatever you want, baby,” Oishin replied and kissed me on my head.After the night Oishin proposed to me, we decided to honor every wolf who fought against the Elders before the preparations of our wedding and the handing down of the castle to him. East Wolves were actually the descendants of the
According to Charlotte, Higan started her mission to restore the kingdom. It wasn’t even a month when she mysteriously appeared with Charlotte. And since that day, conflict between Elders and the Alphas started to become apparent. Everyone wanted to proclaim Oishin as the rightful king but the Elders denied it. Wars from every part of Tempest ignited between those against the councils and against the establishment of the old Monarchy. When Higan threatened the Elders with what she collected to Ezekiel, that was the last straw before the Elders fully gave up their position. Whatever the masked woman did, it's anybody's guess. According to Charlotte, Higan or the mask woman was someone who had been bringing justice to the werewolves. She also had been betrayed and when I asked Charlotte about it, she would only smile and said Higan doesn’t want to talk about her past life. “Penny for your thoughts?” Oishin said, placing an arm across my waist, holding me .I glazed sideways at him
I shifted mid-air as I was running towards my mate. Everyone must have seen the panic and impatience, almost desperation in my face as I was struggling to run towards him. It didn’t bother me even if some wolves were snapping towards me. My action was enough to tell them how much I loved my mate.Ezekiel kicked Oishin’s wolf and laughed. “Let her be. Let her reunite with his dying mate,” he said, laughing.I invested so many years in my life hating my mate, I wouldn’t let him go, heck.let alone him die. I need him. My children needed him. I want us as a whole family. And now my mate's in danger.I shifted back to my human form and lifted Oishin’s head. My eyes immediately went to Oishin, to check his pulse and breathe. His wounds were still bleeding and it hadn't healed much, making me worry."Shin..." I whispered, my eyes already filling with tears as with shaky hands, I started checking his pulse. I tried it on his wrist and when I felt nothing, I panicked even more. My heartbeat
Aine’s Point of ViewA hand on the shoulder that's exactly from where everything starts. Like in a horror movie, a murder story, but apparently, and rather ironically, I felt like it was where my life would start to end.I couldn't see my face but I am quite certain that all the blood would have drained from there. All sorts of negative thoughts came into my mind. This was too good to be true. I should have known.But then I reminded myself of the promise I had made to myself and I told my heart that I would not drain my energy by worrying. Instead, I'll drain it all out in fighting.Fight for myself. Not for anyone else this time. It's just me now, the real fight for my life. Taking a deep breath, I curled my fists, ready to attack as I turned around to see the very flustered face of our very own Patricia and a woman beside her wearing a face mask. Only her eyes were visible, an eyes that I never expected to witness. Her right eye was turquoise blue. It was glowing even though I kn
(Spit POV’s)Aine’s Point of ViewWhen I first met Oishin as a mate, I was so happy, I felt like my fairytale had finally come to a beautiful end. But I was so wrong.I was so wrong because I didn't realise that it wasn't the end of a beautiful fairy tale, but the beginning of a harsh reality. He cheated on me.And then there was Tyga, I thought he was perfect but then I was wrong. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And my reality became harsher than it could be. Fate must have been fun playing on me. Maybe it was because of the fact that I survived despite what fate threw at me and that I refused to give up and became mindless feral.Way back when I was younger, I have always wished for a knight in shining armour, the one that’ll be able to save me. To me, all mates were like everyone, sweet and loving. Yeah I used to believe that when I was a kid. But then life happened and the truth slapped me in the face so hard that I couldn't get back up. I kept falling. I fell, again, hoping
Tyga didn't let me finish my sentence and grabbed my jaw, again. His eyes burning with craze and determination. "I'm not listening to your bullshit, I will never believe you since Victor succeeded in transferring you the leadership! This has cleared all doubts. If he can, then you can! Pass it to me and I will set you free. Think about it. No pain. No struggles.”One thing that I understood from what he said was that he was lying. This bastard was one hell of a liar. I was starting to think that fate was dysfunctional since they gave me this idiot mate. Thankfully Anne interfered and I got back with Oishin. I laughed so hard that I clenched my stomach and his face turned a deep shade of red in humiliation.“Don’t you ever understand the word fuck off and no?”Tyga lifted his fist in the air and punched me in the face making my jaw snap and my cheeks rammed into my teeth, making them bleed.Fuck!I cupped my cheek and spit out the blood. My jaw and cheeks throbbed in pain and my head
