CAMERON “What?” I inquired, staring at her as she blushed, a soft pink hue appeared on her cheeks. I took a peek into the bag and chuckled at her adorable embarrassment. “Do you not like them?” I gestured to the beautiful sets of undies the assistant at the mall had chosen. “They're beautiful. Thanks for being so thoughtful.” Her voice, barely above a whisper as it dripped with embarrassment. “Not me. I had asked one of the assistants at the mall to pick up the choicest and most pretty items for a lady.” I explained. The last thing I wanted was for her to see me as a man with no shame. “Oh.. Still very thoughtful of you.” Her face pulled up in a smile this time. I returned the smile, relieved at the easing tension.I sat cluelessly, unsure of what else to do as I watched her unpack the items, displaying them all around her alongside her unending appreciative comments. I was suddenly glad for stopping over at the mall this evening in spite of the stressful day I had. Seeing her che
OLIVIA The warm rays of the sun shining into the room and settling on my skin, roused me out of slumber. I made to sit up and I'm stopped by Cameron's firm grip still on my waist. My eyes take in the sleeping figure lying peacefully on the bed like a log of wood. He had worked late into the night, making and taking lots of calls that had me wondering what the whole situation was all about. I did not want him to think that I was curious about his ‘Princely’ responsibilities, so I settled myself on the bed patiently waiting for him. I badly wanted to express my displeasure about his girlfriend or probably, his ex-girlfriend. But as the minutes ticked by, with the wait becoming longer, my eyelids had grown heavy and I succumbed to the irresistible pull of nature. Good thing he's not up yet I thought as I reached out to trail my fingers across his peaceful looking face. I jumped in surprise as Cameron grabbed my hands. “I didn't mean to wake you up.” I said awkwardly, feeling embarras
OLIVIA The days went by, and soon, it turned into weeks. With the frequent raiding of packs on the increase, Cameron had gotten so busy as he was often out to help the invaded packs and to apprehend the perpetrators. In order to see less of the blonde, I often locked myself in his suite except on days when I stepped out for a run. I discovered a route that led to the woods and it's been a very reliable way to kill boredom. This way, I've been able to avoid the annoying blonde that was practically everywhere only seeing her whenever Cameron was around and even at that, it's always irritating to see her act all nice and sweet around him. Right now, I badly needed a cold drink as today had me going on a running spree again. I had left the house almost at the same time Cameron had gone out to rescue a pack that was being attacked as at the time he was notified. In as much as I would prefer to head straight to the bathroom to take a cold bath, I made a beeline for the kitchen. “There y
AVA Olivia was so angry that she couldn't remain in the house with the blonde bitch. I was sure I disliked her with everything in me but my human’s dislike for her greatly exceeded mine. We had just returned home after a good sprint in the woods. It was our regular way of putting away boredom as our mate was always unavailable and in the real sense, it helped us avoid the blonde as much as possible. Just as we thought we had succeeded for the day, my human ended up getting enraged by the blonde’s manipulative words. I figured she was going to return to the woods, so I took control and led us back to the woods. Right after she pulled off her clothes, I shifted, pushing her to the reccess. The very first time we shifted when we located this place, I surprisingly felt unexplainable energy burst through me. I felt much more stronger than the usual beta I was. I also discovered that I could pick up sounds much sharper and clearer than how I used to back then in my former pack. Whether
CAMERON I halted on the spot as my gaze landed on the large footprint that was obviously not that of a werewolf. It was quite relieving that we were making progress on tracking the rogues as the rogue attacks were on the increase. With a deep inhale, I sniffed the air in hopes to find more links to the attackers. My nose crinkled in disgust as I not only made out the rotten smell of rogues in the air, but also the empty smell of an ominous being. I was sure it belonged to someone more powerful than regular werewolves even though I am barely able to perceive its very faint aura that lingered somewhere in the air. This wasn't good at all. Looking at it from another angle, these rogues probably had the support of a larger shifter, could be a werebear or even a Lycan. Whoever the bigger presence was, he was very skilled in covering his tracks only that it was almost impossible for a Lycan to leave traces. Could this mean that they wanted to be traced? I pondered on the possibilities.
CAMERON I joined Landon and his group alongside the three alphas that were with me. There were carcasses of rogues scattered around with the smell of rogue blood heavy in the air. Landon was still in his beast form. “Good job.” I spoke gruffly and swept past them with everyone following behind as we continued our mission to track the rogues. We hadn't gone too far when we came across another set of rogues. It looked like they were guarding another set that seemed to be their masters. We handled them like the rogues they were, dirty, smelly and useless. With a sense of urgency, we bursted into a large clearing with a small house situated in the middle and was greeted by an awful sight. Right before the front of the house was a group of female werewolves almost the size of a small pack with numerous chains entwined on their legs and hands that showed that they were been held captive.These she-wolves stared in horror as they watched the show an athletic man who stood before them was
CAMERON I allowed her to proceed with applying the contents of the bottle on my injury, its black liquid trailing down my arm, the potency of the lethal substance had weakened considerably and the injury was starting to heal faster - much faster though with my Lycan genes. My eyes continuously strayed from the injury to the dark haired woman applying the antidote.What in the name of doppelganger was happening here? I thought to myself. Landon too had stopped for a moment to take a good look at her. She looked like she was in her mid thirties even though her skin looked beaten up by the harsh weather and perhaps, untold sufferings. The green eyes, the long dark thick hair, their pale and smooth skin- this woman still had the looks even amidst hardship. I had a feeling that she would have a relationship of some sort with my mate. “Shit!” I muttered, guilt washing over me as I realized that I had not really had a heart to heart conversation with her save for very few exchanges. Gr
ROWAN “Go get her! Go quickly, mark her! Her wolf still recognizes you as their mate!” My mother's voice sounded as she roughly pushed me out of the car with which I had driven us to the woods where I spotted Olivia a few days ago. Losing Olivia had hurt my ego at some point. My pride as an alpha couldn't take it that my originally fated one was being taken away from me. I didn't know which hurt more, her rejecting me or her being taken away from me. I had Lisa but my wolf still craved Olivia. She was mine even before we both knew about it so I would not have her being whisked away from me by anyone, not even if he was the prince. For weeks, I searched the neighboring packs and surroundings with no trace of her. I was almost at the verge of giving up on finding her when I sighted her from afar a few days ago as she stepped out from the woods. I sensibly made this woods my second home, having leisure runs in it every now and then. For days she did not show up until yesterday, I was t
OLIVIA Whether it were humans or shifters, no man wanted to share the attention of his mate with another, be it an ex or whosoever.I figured I had upset my mate by bringing up the issue of my ex-mate so I decided to pleasure him for a change.To be sincere, I enjoyed the look of surprise on his face when I offered to bathe him myself. Not like I did offer though, the plan was to make it sound like an order which I pulled off and like I expected, he did not mind at all. Against my better judgement, I decided to test him a bit. I tightened my lips on his huge cock and bobbed my head up and down with speed until I felt his body tense up.“Don't come yet,” I commanded, with a mischievous smile on my face. I wanted to see just how much I could tease him before he snapped. “Look at me.” I commanded again, smiling inwardly as my big bad Alpha did just as I commanded. The idea of him looking down at me while I fed his primal needs caused sweet fuzzy feelings to settle in my stomach. A sm
CAMERON One very beautiful thing about my mate is her ability to take care of people. Even though she did not know it, she had the capacity to show support and strength in the face of anything. My mate is undeniably a mentally and emotionally strong woman which is a very good trait for a soon to be Queen. In spite of her initial hesitation, I knew she was still going to pull it off and I'm so proud of her. Seeing how she stood strong after all she went through in the hands of her former pack, it reminded of the saying that an apple never fell far from its tree.Both women had gone through dark phases and had come out strong.Olivia and I left Red Moon shortly after her mother woke up and at the moment, I am working on a report brought to me by one of my best trackers who had made progress on locating the Lycan who was still on the run. From the side of my eyes I could see my mate stealing glances at me while I worked on the numerous files on my desk. “Baby can I ask you a questi
OLIVIA ‘Why can I still smell you on the door?’ I chided him over the mindlink, even though he said nothing, I could still feel him smile over the mindlink. ‘Make sure you aren't listening in on our conversation.’ I warned, without a trace of seriousness in my voice. I knew Cameron wasn't bothered about what mom and I had been discussing. Man was bothered about his mate, that I am pretty sure of. ‘Just hanging around, keeping you safe from bad emotions.’ He joked. Deep down, I knew he meant it and truly, he kept to his words as terror washed through me over and over again while Mom opened up on all she had been through. All through the time she spoke, I could mirror her change of emotions, her rage, sadness and sorrow, through all these, her spirit was still as strong as ever. I didn't bother interrupting her as my own feelings of anger almost consumed me save for Cameron's interference with the mate bond. At some point, she allowed the tears she had held in all the years flow
CAMERON I stared at the woman in my arms, my lips slightly agape. Her brows are furrowed in worry as she looked up at me, expecting me to scold her or even do something worse. I mean, she actually thought I would be mad at her? I shook my head slowly while still staring deep into her gorgeous green orbs. Why should I be? “You are not going to scold me?” She asked further, maybe to get a definite answer from me this time with her eyes not leaving mine. “I never would, baby.”Not when I am actually here to comfort you, I wanted to add. I reached out for a strand of her hair, tugging it gently and lowering my head down to the level of her ears, my lip nibbling gently on one of her earlobes. If only she knew how strongly I had felt her emotions all the while, her feeling of anxiety throughout the ride down to this pack, her skepticism as soon as we got down from the car and even her shock and sadness on seeing Clara. After she left the hospital room, I had allowed her some space jus
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN OLIVIA I stood shocked and speechless when I was greeted with the most beautiful pair of eyes that I never expected to see again. Maybe deep down, I longed to see them even if it was just once. Now that I got the chance to, I had no idea on how to react or what I was even supposed to do. Without saying a word, I turned on my heels, heading straight out of the room to save myself the troubles of acting on impulse. ‘Right. Like you did not just act on impulse right now.’ Ava reminded me, not failing for once in keeping the records straight. Yeah, maybe I did. Better than screaming or crying, wasn't it? I pondered on what to do next as my legs carried me round the pack house. I paused to make out the sound of approaching footsteps that distracted me from my thoughts with the intruder coming into view seconds later. “Mind if I join you, Princess?” The Red Moon pack Luna bowed slightly. Did she just address me so formally again? I had thought she did so earlier
OLIVIA I sighed as I stepped out of the bathroom. The hot shower seemed to wash a little bit of the gnawing feeling of unease that threatened to overwhelm me. I slipped into a freshly laundered clean white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, deliberately wearing a matching outfit with Cameron. Following Cameron's order to always get me fed, we both walked downstairs to the dining, my stomach rumbling slightly the moment I sat down for breakfast. “Sorry,” I looked up at Cameron, slightly flustered. “You shouldn't be, baby.” He said, giving me a peck on the forehead, his right hand stroking my hair as he took the seat next to me. ‘This is all thanks to you anyway.’ I mindlinked him. It isn't out of place for me to blame him seeing as he did not let me sleep the whole night. He smirked. ‘I take it that you are well satisfied this morning. So what if I do want more now? Huh?’ He mindlinked me back, the weight on his large palm on my thighs as he rubbed them gently. I felt my cheek b
OLIVIA “So if I get you clearly, you're saying there's a woman out there with a striking resemblance to me. She's been through a lot and you want me to go see her because you think I can help her heal from her trauma?” I asked my mate, unsure of his response. “Right.” He confirmed. With the way he's looking at me with skepticism, I can tell he is afraid that I would not buy his idea. Far from it, I'm rather impressed at how thoughtful he is. With how big, stoic and proud he is, you would think he had no emotion somewhere inside of him but I know better. “Baby, if you're not comfortable with it, we can just let it pass.” He tapped me, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Sure. Why not? I'll go see her.” I assured him with a smile. “I was just thinking about how, you know, how thoughtful you are, so different from your outward appearance.”“Really, Via?” He faked a frown, pretending to be hurt. “What happened to not judging a book by its cover?” He complained.I bursted into a long lou
CAMERON The result showed a heavy amount of the Aphrodite's kiss in her system. How on earth did she manage to live with such an unhealthy amount of that substance in her system? I immediately mindlinked Landon to request for the antidote.‘Send a message to the council to request for the Aphrodite's blur. It's highly needed here.’ The doctor left the room after ensuring that she was physically okay save for the marks she incurred while she scratched her body during her artificial heat.“Leave us.” I excused Lucas and his Luna.With just the two of us in the room, Clara made to sit up on the bed. “Your Majesty,” She called weakly.“Quit the formalities.” I ordered and pushed the chair towards her a bit.‘What a good way to be informal, human.’ Gray mocked. I inhaled a deep breath to compose myself. I would have to check the tone of my voice at all cost if I wanted her to be free with me. And if she is who I think she is, then by all means I needed to get informal with her. But
CAMERON I had to rush to the Red Moon pack in spite of my mate making a fuss. Thankfully, with Landon driving as fast as possible, we got there in good time and Clara had already been resuscitated. We hadn't gone quite far into the packgrounds when an unexpected voice sounded in my head. ‘Cameron, I'm sorry.’ My mate's sweet voice distracted my thoughts. ‘Wow! That was quick… and unexpected.’ I mindlinked her back, eagerly expecting another response. ‘Really?’ she chuckled and I responded with a chuckle too, knowing that she was rolling her eyes by now. Even though I'm upset, I know it's not at my mate. Believe me, I want to be angry at her for her frequent tantrums but I just can't bring myself to get angry at my sweet little wolf over something as trivial as this. Knowing how suspicious my action was this morning, I only wished she would give me a little more benefit of doubt. I couldn't tell her the real situation because it was supposed to be a surprise. ‘She’s still very
