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 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
OLIVIA The air in the room was thick with tension. Luna Claire glared at me. Her features tightened in a frown and her eyes gleamed with disgust as they swept over me. I lowered my eyes to the ground, shifting uncomfortably. From the corner of my eyes I could see Lisa narrowing her eyes at me in annoyance alongside her friend, Bella, who was right beside her shooting me an icy glare. My eyes fell on Rowan, he was slouched on the couch next to his mother like he had not a care in the world. The news that I tried to seduce Rowan had reached the ears of the Luna. I knew that Bella or Lisa would report the matter to her but I really did not prepare to face her wrath.Luna Claire sent for Rowan immediately. She, of course, wanted to hear from the horse's mouth. Her face widened in shock as Rowan answered in the affirmative at the subject of me being his fated mate. Luna Claire laid back on the couch and propped herself on one elbow. Her eyes narrowed at me for a brief moment and the
LISA It would be an understatement to say I am displeased. I am as furious as hell about how this whole mate issue was playing out. Rowan doesn't seem bothered, if anything, he seemed to be very much pleased with his mother's decision. Everyone in the pack knew that Rowan liked Olivia. He had liked her for years now, even though his relationship with her had only been that of mere friends. Although he grew distant from her shortly after the loss of his father, our alpha. Their friendship went totally sour when Luna Claire picked me as her son's chosen mate so he could take over the pack. I never expected that this same Olivia would be fated to Rowan as he had been in search of his mate for over four years with no success.I suddenly feel a bit of guilt, wondering if I didn't do too much by hitting Olivia the previous day.Flashback Smack! My hands landed on the face of the girl I disliked the most in this pack. “How dare you attempt to seduce Jason?” I spat in rage. She looked
OLIVIA I walked into the large hall with Lily. She had insisted that she wasn't going to leave me all by myself in my room. She wasn't hearing any of the excuses I made to not attend the party.Lily is Lisa's younger sister, they are the present beta’s daughters. While Lily was calm and feisty, Lisa’s the opposite of her sister, loud and rude.“If you really want to go ahead with your rejection, then you should watch him mark Lisa. You would see yourself hating him for real.”Those were her words to me all through the day. Her idea of motivation marvelled me at times. She was always blunt at it with no hidden feelings. Lily had rejected her mate a few months back, on the very day she met him. She stumbled on him plunging ferociously into another she-wolf. I often wondered how she was able to cope.I had let her know that I would be rejecting Rowan. His regular sexual episodes with Lisa were getting to the height of it since the Luna's order. My chest burned and tightened with pain ea
CAMERON No sooner had I sat on the seat reserved for me, than my beast was on the verge of taking control. I fought hard to remain in control, releasing my Lycan aura as I reigned in my beast. Everyone bared their necks, submitting to my Lycan aura including the alphas present at the occasion except this beautiful werewolf. She stood straight and unbothered for a few seconds, then in the next, as though she realized herself, she bared her neck too in submission.Something about her that got me hooked. It was deeper than mere attraction, I was completely smitten by her. As my eyes darted to her every passing now and then, the desire to own her arose greatly inside of me.The oath taking commenced immediately after I made my entrance. I wore a bored expression all through as the ceremony was honestly boring. These werewolves were just too extra, doing too much at once. By the time the alpha had been sworn in with his Luna, I was already fed up with their shenanigans. I looked at the
ROWAN The ceremony came to an end much faster than I expected, all the hard work put into making it a success were productive. My days as the ‘acting’ alpha were over, I am now officially, the Alpha of Cold Moon pack. I felt different now, maybe it was the feeling that came with being an Alpha. I smirked.“My Alpha,” my Luna called sweetly, her eyes appealing to me seductively. I smiled at the beautiful woman sitting on the edge of my bed and was tempted to join her. But Echo, my wolf, gave a low growl of disapproval, he wanted his mate. With a shake of my head, I stepped forward and leaned to kiss her on the forehead. “Not tonight, Lisa.” I uttered softly, wiping the sweet smile off her face. Her eyebrows shot up at me questionably, “How do you mean?” She cupped my chin, drawing me closer to herself gently. “We should consummate our mating process tonight.” She pouted. “You're right! But not tonight.” The disbelief on her face was slowly turning to a frown. “Baby, we've had p

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
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
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,
{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
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
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
