When Brayden got the message, the only reaction he did was a smirk. He didn’t think it was on his end to deal with that matter. Just because Shahila’s negligent with her task, it doesn’t mean that he has to jump and rise to the occasion to save her. It wasn’t something that’s part of their agreement. With one press, he deleted the message. He has a different issue to deal on his own. Harper was missing…again. Alora said she saw her escape with a man but she couldn’t tell which one. Brayden had no idea of who it was so he didn’t focus on that part. What he wanted to focus now is how to get her back.. again. “Aren’t you tires of what you’re doing, dear alpha? Each time she disappears, you’re on your tails to find her. Hasn’t it occurred to you that maybe she doesn’t want to be found?”Brayden looked at her sharply.“You seem to forget your place, Alora. I don’t take advices from anyone. I also didn’t ask for it.”Alora nodded, regretting to say that. She thought she was only thinking
Harper was relieved to get a reply from Shahila on the detailed address of the camp. She almost got sad that she dropped her call a little while ago. After taking note of the address mentally, she handed the phone back to the kind student. She deleted the message as well as the call records.“Thank you for your kindness. I owe you one.” – she said and the student placed the phone back to her small duffel bag. “Anytime. So did you have your address?”Harper nodded. She no longer needed her help. She had been traveling to the city half her life. The transportation wasn’t a part of her problem. At the back of her mind, what she’s more concerned about what the thought that someone else may be hunting her while she was running away. Brayden and the black wolves. But in order to avoid that, she should be moving now. “I do. Thank you. I have to go now.”The student gave her a smile and she jogged towards the cab station. A bus would be crowded this time of day and she couldn’t risk to b
One can never really run away from danger. As for Harper, she’s certain that it twins her. She’s sure it’s following her everywhere. She can tell because the kind driver she thought would bring her safely to her destination turned out to be a pervert. There were instances where she caught him looking at her through the rearview mirror, looking specifically at the low rise of her dress. On the V area on her chest. It was because of that that she chose to pull over halfway and transfer into another car. The little ounce of patience in her body starting to grow out. She’s having enough of it all. And all she ever wanted is to belong to a clan. To have a mate. To have a simple life for a werewolf. Was that all hard to ask for?Without her knowledge though, that seemed to be closer than she thinks. As she waits for another car to pass by, Damon was too close. He, with the other two men, were driving as fast as possible while still being alert on the people they come across. “We can
Luckily enough, the black wolves managed to escape the camp before the rest of the white wolves knew what happened. The alarm blasted as what Shahila said but the distance between the common room and the dungeon was far that the moment they arrived, the only ones left waiting for them were the unfortunate prisoners and the destroyed entrance gate. With that, Shahila’sand the one across hers were opened. The stinky woman from the dungeons came with the black wolves. Shahila didn’t want to come but Brayden called and said if she stays, she’ll only be placed in the dungeons again. It’s too late now. For sure, Damon and the others already knew she was a traitor.She has nothing and no one to come back to. “I will never forget this. I am Kalla, by the way.”The stinky woman was sitting across hers on a bus and she turned to talk to her. Kalla? What kind of a man was that? she thought. She wasn’t willing to shake her hand too. Still, she’s dirty and terrifying. “Don’t overdo it. I’m not
Harper couldn’t help but stare at Damon. Or at least at his eyes from the rearview mirror of the car. It has been only days but it felt way longer than that. It’s as if it has been months and the tension building between them was getting out of hand. Twice in the row, Damon almost hit a deer or a dog passing the road. It was because he was looking at her from the mirror as well. Something that made Gio and Nerbert look at each other and roll their eyes. “Is anyone hungry? We can stop at a convenience store.” – Damon did it again. Looking at the mirror instead of looking ahead.“We’re good, my king.” – Gio and Nerbert almost said in unison“How about you, my queen?” – Nerbert asked“I guess.”She was starving. The past days, the only food she consumed were water and if fortunate enough, bread. She had no dime with her, only that small amount of money given by a kind Samaritan. She already used that for that failed car ride. Damon nodded and pulled over at the side of the road where
As the night neared, the moon was getting bigger and rounder. It was a perfect time for hunting and some of the men had talked about it to. With Damon’s permission, they gathered in front of the camp, waiting for the exact moment the sun gets down and the moon will reign.It was the moment everyone’s waiting for. And the king sees it proper. The camp has been under too many challenges the past days. They deserve to get loose a little.Tonight, they will hunt. “Aren’t you coming with them, my king? It would be very nice if you’re the one to lead them.” – Harper said as she and Damon stood at the common room’s back balcony, seeing the men and a few women gather to discuss their plan and route. “Nope. They’ll understand. Antonio’s with them anyway. He can lead them just as I can.”Harper nodded, thinking what could be the reason he chose not to join the hunt. As what she heard, the Lycan king’s favorite thing to do was to hunt. Now he said no. Why?“Are you sure? Not that I’m forcing y
Each time Harper’s in her wolf form, she couldn’t help herself. It’s like she was possessed by a different entity, not to mention that the full moon above them was influencing her judgment. As she transformed into a wolf in front of Damon, he couldn’t help but admire her.She was an object of beauty. Her mane was like that of a blood moon’s. Her eyes were on fire and she looked majestic. It was the first he saw her in that form and he couldn’t contain his awe.“Wow. My queen.” – Damon bowed a little.Harper howled, establishing her presence. Damon’s sure their pack members heard that as well. Good. “Shall we go find them?” – Harper roared.“Yeah.”Damon then proceeded to transform. In a blink of an eye, on the place where the muscular man was standing stood a giant white wolf. He howled, followed by Harper and ran towards the direction of the hunters. They weren’t too far behind and when Antonio and the rest of the group heard the howl, they knew their king has transformed. And thu
Back in the black wolves’ den, Shahila and Alora finally met each other. It was on the breakfast table where their seats were positioned to be facing each other. Brayden as always would be at the head of the rectangular table, seeing everyone. This time, he addressed everyone’s attention to introduce their pack’s guests.“Everyone, you may have notice that two extra chairs have been added to our table. This is not accidental. It’s only proper that this breakfast, we would welcome them with open arms (“and hopefully they’ll open their legs” - Brayden whispered) to our camp. My brothers and sisters of the moon, let us welcome Shahila Ruben and Kalla Sand. The two girls stood up to be acknowledged. They gave a small wave. Alora whispered Shahila’s name in a whisper. “Okay, you may sit down. Where’s the food for crying out loud?!”Brayden called the attention of the servers. Those belonging to royalty are the only ones allowed to dine with the alpha. The others were kept waiting outsid
