I let Mom and Anne catched up with each other. As for my father, I finally found peace and decided to start over. I couldn't believe it when he said I was supposed to be a son and a daughter. He was a freaking stupid. Even a female could become a Beta. And then there was Letisha who was hiding behind Cyan. I didn’t know that she was Cyan’s long awaited mate. Well, the ladder was so protective that he never left her side. And then there’s Warren who also became attached to my son. With stress that filled within me, I decided to take a run. It has been raining non-stop and the scent of wet rain forest lures me to shift and feel the wetness of the land beneath my paws. I shifted and ran, never minding the rain. I ran and ran until I got tired and decided to shift back and change clothes when I found a pile of clothes and a jacket in some hole in the trees. When I finished changing, the rain started to become hard to almost zero visibility. I trudged through the thick forest. The heav
“Shin?” I called his name. He spared me a glance and gave me a reassuring smile. “This plant is called Wolfnip. This will help you slow the effect of Wolfsbane until I get you back to the pack,” he said and squeezed the minced plant. The reddish juice of the plant fell on my wounds and I swore I would have screamed if only I did cover my mouth. Out of nowhere, heat started to The wolfnip immediately worked burning and searing wounds. The pain was unbearable and I thought I would have died. I just noticed that the part of my foot that was wounded was now swelling. “S-shin!” I yelled, grabbing his hands away from my foot and not wanting those juices on my wounds again. to radiate in my body. It was not the kind of heat I felt when I had a fever but it was a painful heat rushing all over my body. Damn it. I was in heat. My wolf purred. She wanted to touch my mate. Why now? Why all of the sudden? I looked at Oishin and his eyes darkened, canines poking from his lips. “I should
I kissed him hard on the mouth without a second thought. He was taken back for a moment before his hands were under my ass lifting and picking me up with my legs around his waist.Damn.He didn't waste any time, before I could even kiss him I was on my back on the cold hard ground with him hovering above me. His forest green eyes blazed as he spoke lowly, "There’s no turning back, Aine. You’re mine."I didn't argue. There was a noticeable shift in the air. It seemed as if everything was hazy, and the air was too hard to breathe in. Oishin’s eyes raked over my naked chest with a deliberate slowness that made me want to jump out of my skin and hide.He reached out and caressed my hip before pulling me to stand in between his legs. I sucked in a breath of air and waited as he looked at me. His eyes were burning and the stormiest that I'd ever seen them, they were almost black. The look in them was almost indecipherable, but there was a trace of an emotion I hadn't seen for a long while
It was early, I knew because the son was brearly up. Its probably after six in the morning. Sunlight was dull, peeking in from the entrance of the cave we’re in, our make shift bed was warm, and the cave room smelled like sex.And I was happy. Incredibly, indescribably happy. I finally sorted my feelings for Oishin and my wolf agreed. We don’t pride to keep us apart. We only need to rekindle our bonds and forget the past. My mind was quite awake yet but I knew the signs. I knew that we’re still running away. The telltale signs and smell of the freshly wet forest gave it away, but I knew I was safe. I was with him. And that alone made me want to smile.I yawned softly and popped open one of my eyes. I was naked next to him, tucked into the crook of his neck with his strong arms wrapped tightly around me. My body ached in the most delicious way possible. Last night was not a figment of my imagination or perhaps something was different when Oishin do me. It must be my heat or maybe our
Oishin’s was picking something when he stop and looked at some direction. His lips twisted angrily into a small snarl. He turned his head sharply towards the east and then rose to his feet."What is it?" I said. Wolfsbane has somewhat numbed my werewolf sense of smell."Rogue," he says quietly. "Lots and lots of rogues. They're headed this way but still far from here.""You can hear them that far?""I can hear vibrations. For most noise I have to be in a certain radius but with vibrations I can hear them for miles. We need to go babe. Something about this quietness of the forest frightened me."I stared at him in wonder. Yes. Know that he mentioned it. Something was definitely not right. It was his instinct kicking on. “Let’s get going, Mama. Hope on my back,” he urged me.He was running for miles and miles. Never stopping. Never taking a breath. I don't even hear a pant escape his lips. I wonder if Oishin was a runner or what. I was too busy at the pack back then so I never noticed
“And also damn that Tyga. If he’ll not pay us, right. I’ll report his hideout to the elders,” the man said. “You better watch your mouth. He has the beast. She’ll do anything he commanded,” the other man replied. “He finally freed his prize beast for two reasons – one, to test out her loyalty and two, was for his own sick pleasure of seeing wolf fights. Remember that.”“Do you know what happened to the girl? I mean the boss has a child in his care.”“That’s the only reason why the beast hasn't killed him yet. That child was the beast’s younger brother.” The man replied as they decided to sit down on the log under the tree. “You seemed to know her story, Gorge.”“I do a bit, Devougn. I was there when the beast was slowly being created to what she was today,” Gorge replied. I listen attentively and I munch into the berry-like I saw from the vines.“What was her name?” Devougn asked. “I think her name was Emery. She was the daughter of Erikson, the former Rogue kinh that was defeated
“It’s clear,” Oishin said as soon as we landed on the ground. “As long as you have the cedar peace of wood in you, we can’t be found,” he added. He was walking carrying me on his back when I told him I had to pee. He put me down to the nearby bush and walked away from me. I looked around nervously as I squatted to pee behind some bushes. I hissed in pain because I forced my injured foot to step on the ground to support my weight. Oishin has been looking around, observing the surroundings. I heard some noises and I wiggled my men’s boxer and shorts up quickly. I peek from the bushes and I saw a mother bear with her cubs in the distance. Even from here, she looked enormous. She's too far away to see me so I fold my arms and I rest against a tree as I watch the sweet sight of the cubs playing.I suddenly sense that I'm not alone. Oishin appeared in the tree to my left. He kept his arms behind his back and watched them with me. I smiled as a cub clinged onto a tree and started climbing
I prayed to the Moon Goddess to survive this night. I want to be with my family again. I want to run with Oishin. Everything that I have missed for the past years, I wanted to fill it. “Please…”I was about to close my eyes, and ease fear when I heard a snapping of twigs behind me. When I looked behind me, I saw Tygah. “Oh? Look what we have here,” he said, smirking. He grabbed my left arm and forcefully dragged me away from the bush I had hidden. “Oishin! Help! Help me!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Hopefully Oishin may have heard it. Deep down in my heart I knew he would be here. “Damn! Shut up!” he screamed and I felt a hard thing collide with my stomach and then darkness engulfed me. It was the same kind of darkness one wouldn’t want to have, especially in a dire situation. My instinct has been screaming to me to stay awake but I could. The kick I received weakened me and because my wolf was in a weak state.But I forced my eyes to open up, but it took too much effor
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
