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
{Cold Moon Pack}OLIVIA I’m woken up by a sharp, searing pain in my head. The last I could remember is that I was having a run in the woods. I twist my face in pain as I try to remember what happened next but my thoughts are a mess. Did I run too much and pass out? How long have I been lying down here? “Ouch!” I winced in pain, and try to hold my head in place but my arms won't move. I sat up with a groan and just stare around confused. I’m totally confused. I still can’t move my arms, but my fingers were able to feel the cold ground beneath me. Wait a second… my eyes take in my surroundings and widened in alarm when the realization hits me, this place smelt familiar - I was in my former pack. “Oh, Goddess!” I cried as another searing headache starts to spread. Rowan must have brought me back to his pack. “What the hell.” I groan, more out of frustration than pain. Then I remember that he forcefully tried to mark me. “Aarghhh!” I scream, my heart beat accelerating with dread
OLIVIA “What the hell is going on here?” I am barely able to recognize Rowan's cold voice. He looked visibly angry as he took further steps into the room, filling it with his aura. I think I'm the only one who is majorly affected by his alpha aura. Bella stiffened slightly in the spot where she's standing while Lisa merely shifting in discomfort. “Who untied her!?” Rowan frowned.“Uhm… That's wasn't intentional.” Lisa said nervously, looking frightened. Was she scared of her mate? I had felt it, I felt like something was off about him. Even I, could barely recognize the Rowan before me now. He seemed lost. More like, he had lost his real self. “Get out!” He spat, not looking at the two women. The resounding thud of the door on its frame made my heart skip in fright. I was alone in a room with this new Rowan, a mentally deranged Rowan. His hand brushed his blonde way, messing it in a way that passed the message that he was pissed. I slowly moved back as he advanced towards me,
CAMERON Fury. Blinding fury. That's the only emotion I have felt these past hours. I know my mate did not leave me, I would have felt a sense of loss if she did. I had felt that something go wrong though - a painful burning effect had spread through my body while the woman who was her exact carbon copy applied the antidote on my injury. I had thought it was due to the silver in the injury on my arm. How could I have swept that warning aside? My major regret now is not marking her before now. It would have been easier to find her, I would simply mindlink her wherever she is and rescue her. My beast is going crazy at the thought of our mate going missing while she's still unmarked. Coming home to meet one mate's absence is the worst feeling ever. No sign, no hint, nothing whatsoever that has been able to lead me to her for almost 48 hours now. These two nights without her had been my worst nights. The first night had me being full of anger. Last night went with me being angry to bein
CAMERON I am seated at the front passenger seat and the two of my men are both seated at the back with Landon in the driver's position maneuvering the car on the dirt track at a very high speed as we rushed to the Cold Moon Pack. With Gray prancing in my head, threatening fire and brimstone on the whole pack, I knew it would be hard for any of us to control the other. The patrol guards at their borders recognize us as Lycans and as usual, they did not stop us to search or do anything, not like they had a choice though.The female blonde that so resembled the sick alpha happens to be the first person I meet right at the entrance of the pack house. Her sudden scream as she jolted in fear gave her out immediately. Luckily for her, I would never raise my hand on a woman except in a battle. Her sister-in-law who I know as the current Luna rushed forward, rambling some nonsensical stuff which I supposed was meant to be pleasantries. “Your Majesty we.. we…” She's clearly too scared to fin
OLIVIA ‘Mate! Mate! Mate!’ Ava leaped in my head, wagging her tail joyfully.‘Calm down, Ava. I'm still very dizzy.” I reprimanded her, my mind still in a fuss with my mate scents so strong in the air. Thank the Goddess, I wasn't hallucinating when I felt my mate scoop me up in his hands.I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart beat as Ava had decided to have a will of her own. I wonder how she is still this strong enough after the dose of wolfsbane even though I suspect that we might have been administered the antidote. ‘Mate’s presence helped us heal.’ Ava responded cheekily. I mentally smile at how happy she is for us to have finally acknowledged our mate though. The saying of ‘not realizing what you have until you almost lose it’ is so true. I never feared or worried about losing Cameron until Rowan almost marked me. I released a frustrated sigh and slowly opened my eyes. The bright light hit my eyes, making me shut them back again. After blinking severally, my eyes adju
OLIVIA “Welcome back home, my love.” Cameron held the door open for me to walk in. He whispered something to Landon and I'm shocked at how low and muffled it sounded. These Lycans sure knew how to have some gossip, whatever happened to the mindlink. I said to myself before responding to Cameron. “Yeah. Feels good to be back.” I muttered and made to head upstairs before Cameron grabbed my arm, dragging me back. For a brief moment, we stood holding each other captive in our gazes, the worry in my head slowly faded away into something else. Cameron lowered his head slowly, while I lifted mine up for our lips to meet. His lips sucked on mine possessively as his hands moved from my waist to rest on my butt.An unexpected rush of mixed feelings flooded my body, feelings that I couldn't decipher accurately. I can feel my happiness and relief with a sudden mix of lust to it and there's a very minute amount of skepticism - almost like I was imagining it. Ava purred in my head. ‘Shameless
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
OLIVIAWith Cameron and me ravishing each other as much as we both desired, the days went by in a blur. Right now, I'm sitting on the bed, the sound of running water in the bathroom confirming that my mate was having a good shower without me. Cameron had to go back to tracking down rogue wolves again as that was his mission here in the first place but this time, he’s made sure to not neglect me like before. How could he? When there's a mindlink between us that works even long distance. ‘Seems you now mind me joining you in the bathroom.’ I half-joked and half-complained through the mindlink. ‘Never would, sweetness.’ he chuckled, knowing I did not take the issue of him having a shower alone half as seriously as I sounded. After having his bath and stepping into the walk-in closet to dress up, he pulled me into his big arms, kissing me softly on the face, his scent lingering on every part of my body he touched. “I wish I really didn't have so much to do today.” He hissed, obviously
CAMERON Restraining myself from eating my mate up while being with her for about a month now even though I badly wanted to, had to be the most quelling task I have ever had on my hands. I was a man with zero patience yet I literally had to battle to keep my primal need under control. Frankly, it wouldn't be too extra to say I deserved an award of some sort.I had always known it was going to be impossible for her and her wolf to accept me just like that so I was willing to wait. But what I did not know was how tough it was to keep my hands to myself. With my patience stretched so thin, I still wanted her to come to accept me as her mate by herself and at her own pace, not because she feels forced or obligated to do so. Good thing she came around soon enough and now that I've had a taste of her, I wasn't about to let her go so soon. Infact, I doubt I'll be letting go of her in a few hours. She's just the perfect one for me and I love her the way she is. I pushed her further into th
OLIVIA “I did not realize how much I missed her meals until now.” I tell Cameron as I excitedly move up the stairs with him in tow, his big hands on my waist. The taste of the scrumptious lunch or dinner - whatever it was we had, still lingered heavily in my mouth. Mrs. Mila's food was always mesmerizing to the taste buds. As soon as we walked into the bedroom, Cameron shut the door behind us, pulling me into his arms and rubbing me against his hardness.“There’s something much more delicious that you're yet to taste though.” He winked and pecked me on the forehead. “Really?” I widened my eyes in fake shock. “You have no idea.” He grinned, playing along with my acting. “So sorry then. I'm full already.” I rolled my eyes, pretending to be uninterested. “Since you're so full, I could eat you instead.” He whispered in my ears. The hoarse voice that accompanied his words sent sparks all over me shooting down to my core.‘Ooh… That's hot.’ Ava squealed in excitement. So what if I ju
