“Some people are incredible,” Jimmy muttered, shaking his head.

“You mean some people are increasingly good with words,” Emily rephrased.

“Mm-hm,” Jimmy mumbled and readjusted in his position. They were at the back of the thick crowd of women in the lycan king's house. The women's voices were booming as they waited for the king to come out and address them.

“Are you sure we did the right thing following them to come here?” Emily whispered to him.

“If we are to find Lia, we have to stay up to date with the happenings of the Pack. We will leave once we hear what the king says to them.”

“That is if he will show up,” Emily mumbled back, stretching her head to catch a glimpse of the lycan king’s house. She thought the women were bold, storming into their lycan king's house to protest. All credit to the woman that convinced them. Although she had to involve her life in the process of convincing them. “Still…this is…bold…” she sighed, pressing back a spilling yawn.

    Standing in the balcony of the second floor of the building, Derrick looked down over the heads of the women. As much as he wanted, he couldn't get a good look at their faces. It was practically impossible considering the distance. But even if he were to be closer to them, it was almost impossible to detect his enemies amongst them–which was actually what he wanted more. He blamed Damian and Ethan for putting him up to this and wasting his precious time. The main mastermind he was seeking for was most likely not present. “Women of Harrow Wood! You want me to prove that the Luna is truly my wife and we are not having a fake marriage. Then so be it. To prove the sincerity of our marriage, I am declaring a week holiday for everyone. On the seventh day, we shall be having a celebration! Bring your families along!” “We want to know her identity! She is a murderer! She murdered Laura!” Someone screamed from the crowd. Derrick squinted at the screamer. He couldn't get a better view

    LIA'S POV Why would Derrick kiss me? In front of the women at that! Fine, he was trying to make a point and It was only on my forehead but still… he could have chosen to do anything else but kiss. And he'd done it so naturally that the women were completely fooled! I was nothing but a bait until he caught whoever he wanted to catch and found Laura. And yes, this wasn't supposed to make me panic but since I returned from the unexpected meeting, it couldn't leave my head. I took off the extremely tight dress Clara had made me put on and let out a gasp. Well, he was an Alpha that would do anything to get what he wanted. I sighed as I recalled his words. I was nothing but his bait. I'm sure he would never feel differently about the kiss or anything. However, I feared my identity was on the verge of getting exposed. Those lycan women could have marked my face even though we were some height from them. But no matter what, Derrick must never find out I was not of lycan blood. Never. My

He turned to Alpha Gregory and eyed him. He had told him to find a good reporter. Where did he find such a scaredy cat? “Look , Mr Graven, you need to calm down and let me think–”Mr Graven spun, eyes red with fury. “I can't hide in your house forever! The king has eyes everywhere. He can find me here and kill me! You are asking me to calm down? Because it isn't your bloody name that is plastered all over the newspaper as a fucking wanted man!”“I said shut your mouth!” Alpha Dante snarled. “Don't ask me to keep calm! Okay fine….You know what. I'm done with this and you both. You are the ones at a disadvantage now. I can go to the king and tell him everything you have done.

    BLOOD MOON PACK “Rose you can't do this to me…” Carlos begged, feeling helpless. The discussion he had avoided was finally happening. For the past weeks, he'd noticed Rose's changes. Things she would usually not do, she started doing easily; missing his calls and not calling back, being too busy for him all of a sudden and sneaking away to take calls. He knew why she was acting this way, he knew it all but he'd decided to not bring it up. Because he was afraid of this very moment. “I'm sorry Carlos– I wished I didn't have to make a choice,” Rose said. “You don't have to! You only need to stay with me. Please, Rose…”“I wanted to! I wanted to…but—”As he tried to hold her, she dodged. “I'm sorry Carlos but I have chosen Kelly and I have rejected our bond. I hope you find your second chance mate.”Casting him one last pitiful glance she hurried away leaving a helpless Carlos. As much as Carlos wanted to chase after her, go on his knees and beg her until she accepted him back, he hel

    LIA BLAKEWith force I pushed open the door and stormed into my room. The moment I slumped onto my bed, all the emotions I thought I had held back broke free and tears streamed down my face. I clutched my face in my hands and wailed. I wailed like I hadn't done before. As my tears flowed, the memories of the day flooded into my head. A day supposed to be one of the best days in my life turned out to be a painful one for me. >Snatching myself up in the most pretty dresses I ever owned with a perfect make-over, the type I rarely do, I had dolled up myself for my school prom night. The last I would have as a high school kid. Yes, it shouldn't just be my last but my best as well, I had thought. I was totally over the moon and It wasn't just that I was attending my last school prom night but a part of it was that I would be attending it with my crush. I couldn't have been more excited. "Please have you seen Carlos?" "Have you seen Carlos? He is handsome and has

    LIA BLAKE Phew! I drew in a quick breath. I was standing at the cliff of a mountain. The air was light and as it brushed against my skin, it caressed my pores and left me feeling refreshed. That moment, I got a chance to not feel miserable. How sad must my wolf have felt. We just thought…just maybe Carlos and I will ever get a chance to be together. I beat my chest and bit my lips suddenly feeling a surge of determination. Yes, it was just a crush. I have to be brave now. For myself and for my wolf and brush this lurking sadness off me. I gulped thickly as I felt my tears choke down my throat. Yes, this was the best thing I should do for myself. The thought of seeing Carlos gallivant the entire pack with his mate was just a lot for me to handle. Yes, call me jealous, but it hurts me everyday. Maybe someday the moon goddess will be kind enough to give me my own mate. If she is even kinder and listens to Jimmy's prayers, she would make him the best man in the whole wide world

    LIA BLAKE"What the hell have you done to me?" I muttered in disbelief. Gosh, what happened to Lia Blake that I used to know? The last time I came close to looking this snatched up was last summer at the school prom night. Of course it didn't end well for me.She walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a white long lacy and extremely pretty dress. Wait…isn't that a …a wedding dress. "A wedding dress?" My eyes widened. She extended it to me and said, "Put it on…erm but before then I would like to say something…" Now this is beginning to get scary. Who exactly is this woman before me…She hung the wedding dress in one of the hanger, ran her fingers on it as though she didn't want to leave it but for some reason had to."You know, I have always been excited for this moment…my wedding, the night I get to be fully joined in marriage to my mate and love of my life…well…life doesn't always go as planned…" her voice went low. I could feel the sadness in her tone. Who exactly is she and why d

    Lia BlakeI heard a rustling and creaking sound in my sleep. I forced my eyes to shut even more. All through the night, the cold had gotten worse and the entire hairs on my body had stood erect as the cold hammered against my body. I was a bit thankful for the wedding dress. The long length had been of help. A typical example of a blessing and curse. The air got colder and the terrible stench of the dungeon got worse by the second. I couldn't catch a glimpse of sleep even though I had my eyes shut most of the time. I did more stopping myself from breathing than trying to sleep. But each time I squinted my eyes towards the prisoner, he always looked to be sound asleep curled up in one corner of the dungeon. I wondered how he could have offended the Lycan King to find himself here, how long he must have been here and how many more days, perhaps weeks or months he had to stay here. Poor him. Lia, worry more about yourself. The thought of being his prison mate had goosebumps crawling

    WRITER'S POV “Alpha Dante?” Alpha Gregory held the door, surprised. “What brings you to my abode?” “We are not supposed to meet today…” he added and looked past him expecting to see someone else. “We can no longer meet at our usual place. Derrick’s eyes are everywhere,” Alpha Dante uttered hastily as he let himself in. “Did something happen?” Alpha Gregory questioned signaling to one of his servants to bring them a drink. “You should be grateful to me,” Dante said and plopped down in the nearby seat. “We have been followed. Our meeting spot is no longer safe.” “I knew it. We would have been foolish to not expect it. I just didn't expect he would be moving this fast. But…how did you find out?” Alpha Dante looked up, a smirk playing at his lips. Derrick had always discovered any spy he placed in his house. What usually saved him was the oat he always made the men take. They always swear to rather bite their tongue to death than to ever reveal his name. Of course he always

    WRITER'S POV Derrick stood to his feet and walked to the window for the umpteenth time that morning. He stared out briefly down at the building next to his office and it was still as quiet and uneventful as the first time he had checked. Beta Damian strutted inside. “Are you worried? Why don't you go down and see for yourself if you are so worried,” he spoke, startling Derrick who immediately slung his hand into his pocket and shifted from the window. “Worried? Why would I be?” Derrick scoffed, resuming his poison on his seat. He steepled his fingers on the desk and tapped. It wasn't that he was worried. It was just that going over his words again made him realize how harsh he must have sounded. He had tried to convince himself that it wasn't really that bad. And fact remained, he had said worse words than those to others and didn't bulge about it. Why was he suddenly worried about his words hurting a woman who was nothing more than his bait. Damian chuckled. Of course he wa

As usual her strides are so fast I was struggling to keep up. Surprising how little I had heard of Derrick's father but so much about his mother. I hadn't even seen his face ever since I entered the Pack and no one ever spoke of him. It was as if there was an unwritten rule to never bring him up. “The king will pick you up from here. Don't move an inch.” “What…weren't we supposed to go together…” Ma'am Lucy was already trotting away while I was still complaining.

Then he made it to the reception room.When Beta Tom saw him walk in, he stood up. “My Alpha, is everything alright? When I got your urgent message I was deeply worried and had to come at once.”Alpha Blake nodded with a small smile. Having Tom Carlos as his Beta lessened his worries. Asides the fact that he was deeply respectful, he was always there whenever he was called upon. sometimes Alpha Blake thought he was being too respectful especially as they were friends. “Yes. Thank you for coming.” He motioned him to sit. Alpha Blake let out a heave as he settled into the sofa. Beta Tom squinted at him. “You look troubled my Alpha.
