“Yes. It's a good thing we finally met again.” She was wearing a long dress that covered her entire skin except her head. Was she a vampire that didn’t want to be exposed to daylight? “Yes, I guess so.” I smiled at her and was able to point out a few resemblances between us unlike last time. We had similar nose shapes and jawlines, I observed. “What exactly is going on with you being Keegan's mate?” She asked. “I don’t understand you.” “The party. When he asked you to be his mate…” she added. “Oh, that. Of course… isn’t that what you want?” I tittered, unsure of how to react to what she had to say and rose to my feet. “That is what we want, but both of your reactions and emotions seemed way too genuine to be fake. You were moved to tears.” She stated.“It’s all fine.” I waved a hand over my face. “You shouldn’t forget her revenge, I hope you haven't?" She narrowed her eyes at me. “Of course I haven't, but I've been thinking about it. I've been trying to reconsider a few things
~ MASON ~ “Can you please pass my sock?” I asked Crystal but of course, like she had been doing, she acted like she didn't hear me, completely ignoring my existence. I strode to where she was sitting and pulled her by her arm so she turned to me. “Spit whatever is going on in your head!” I yelled, very furious. She was still frowning and removed my hand from her, attempting to walk away but I pulled her back. “I’m not putting up with this nonsense anymore. Let me know what’s bothering you. Giving me a silent treatment wouldn’t solve the problem.” “What do I have to say? It’s not like you’d care because all you ever care about is work and not me.” She finally spoke to me for the first time in a few days. “That's what's been bothering you?“You don’t think it's a big issue! You rarely ever spend time with me. You’re always working and acting like work and other things are more important to your life than mw.” “Crystal, you should’ve told me this earlier. You come first in my lif
“How? Please let me know what he can do." I begged. “Well… just the normal things mates do and how it works.” she shrugged. “But this is so stupid. I didn’t know being in heat was supposed to make me feel hot, I’m literally on fire.”“It’s not the same for all female werewolves, but I assume you’re one of those with an extremely crazy body reaction to being in heat. Weren’t you experiencing a few signs before today?”“I don’t know…” I suddenly remembered that I had been feeling really strange. “Yes, I’ve been.”“You ought to have prepared far ahead, right from the first day you experienced the signs. Is this your first year?” She asked as she turned on the Air conditioner.“Y-yes.” I was still very sweaty despite the AC. “Oh, that explains why. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine soon.” “Fine?! I can never be fine with this pain. I feel like I’m about to burn into flames. Is there no drug for it?” “No, just your mate.” “Please help me.” I cried. “Call Keegan.”“I’ve tried mind-linking h
I woke up to the throbbing pain in my neck. I glanced around but no one was around me. I was confused for a while till I remembered how Keegan pierced my skin last night. I slipped into my nightdress and headed for the bathroom, not expecting to see him standing there in only his sweatpants, looking effortlessly hot with his disheveled hair. He seemed to have just finished brushing his teeth.“Why’d you mark me? I didn’t know it’d be that painful.” I complained, and walked over to him. “I apologize about that. I was just too lost and after last night, I wanted you to belong to me alone because you’re perfect for me in all ways. So you don’t consent to being marked by me?” he quirked an eyebrow. I stood in front of the mirror and let my hand glide over it; it looked like a very pretty tattoo, so I shrugged. “It looks cute.” “Are you sure?” He asked, wrapping his arm around me and placed a kiss on the mark. I felt really tingly from his kiss and raises my mood. . “I asked a questio
“There’s training today. I’m glad the damn heat is over!” I danced in celebration. “I mean, it wasn't bad with you around, but I had to force myself to sleep most of the time when you weren’t around me. “He only chuckled and slid his feet into his slipper. “Get dressed so I can drive you there.” “Aren’t you busy today?” I asked as Rylee walked into the bedroom. “I’ve done all I need to do for the week, so I’m free for the weekend.” “Really? That’s great. You promised to take me out to somewhere fun when you’re not busy.’” Rylee beamed at him. “Yes, I know. I’ll do that tomorrow. Right now, I have to go with Jane. I got an iPad for you, so you can enjoy yourself with a lot of games. I’ve also made sure to assign a few people that’ll make your meal for today and—”“school?”“Yes, I already signed you up for the upcoming school session.” “Wow, I’m so excited to start school!'' She celebrated and did a short happy dance that made both of us chuckle. “When did you both make promises
~ KEEGAN ~ I was still pretty mad at Jane for leaving me like that yesterday, but My whole life felt so much better now that Jane was with it. I felt so good and like I had a great achievement to have her as my mate. Now that she was completely mine, I was never going to let go of her. Regardless of anyone’s definition of love, I knew my feelings for her were nothing but true love. I wanted to cherish her till our last breath on earth. The night I had with her was the best night of my life and it was so amazing to see my mark sitting prettily on her neck. She and Rylee were sleeping after a crazy day yesterday, and just watching both of them made my heart feel swollen, a heart I never knew existed. “Hey Alpha.” Mason said and suddenly stopped in his tracks, smirking. I was caught off guard because I was grinning so much like a weirdo when he walked into the balcony, so I shook my body and cleared my throat, trying to reach out for something till I realized I had nothing to hold.
“Where the hell is Keegan? I haven’t seen him all day?” I dropped my phone on the nightstand and rolled out of bed. Rylee was yawning and stretching. She had also slept all day long. “What time is it?” She asked in a low robe, yawning. “Probably past your lunch. Hop into the bathtub, you’ve slept for way too long.” I rolled my hair up into a rough bun. She got out of bed then went into the bathroom. I headed to give her a bath while she didn’t stop rambling about how exciting it was to have the doll and how she was going to treasure it forever. We headed out and I slipped one of my Keegan's shirts over her. I laughed at how oversized it was. “I’ll let Keegan know that you need new clothes.” “Yay, thank you!” she grinned. I had to change my clothes before heading out with Rylee.‘Hey Jane, where are you?’ I was startled to hear Mae’s voice in my head. ‘Uh… that’s new.’ ‘I can’t believe it worked; I could just sense your mind, open so much for everyone to get into. Where are you
How the hell was he just denying our love and his voice didn’t even show any sign that he cared. Was he just going to break my heart? This made no sense. My legs were so wobbly as weakness overtook my balance; my vision was blurry with the tears that welled up my eyes.I turned around and hurried back to his bedroom and dropped the tray randomly. His words kept reeling in my head and I just wanted to storm back to slap him. How could he do this to me?I definitely remembered that he had vowed to make me his just to crush me but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. This wasn’t making any sense at all. My whole world had just come crumbling down. There was no sign of falsehood in his voice. Did he just want to get into my pants before breaking my heart? How could his relationship seem so genuine yet he’ll sound while denying his love behind me? I didn't know what to do right now. “My family members were right, they were right. This is so fucking crazy. Why does it have to be me?
~ JANE ~ (11 YEARS LATER) “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SWEETHEART!” Keegan said the moment I woke up, wrapping his arms around me and captured my lips into a kiss. I was startled since of course, I just woke up, but I shook it off and returned his kiss. “Happy anniversary.” I said when I pulled away, stretching. We had arrived at the beach house with our friends and family two days ago. Since it was where our love developed, it held a special place in our heart, so we decided to celebrate our Eleventh wedding anniversary here. “Guess what I found?” he asked and he had a really bright smile that made me have a good feeling about today already. “What is it?” You know how much I hate guesses.” He arched his back to pick up something from the floor then placed a box on my lap. “What is it?” I asked again. “Just open it.” He rolled his eyes at me. I chuckled and opened the box. There were two more more boxes in it and I took out the first box, it had so many swimsui
The preparations for the ceremony happened sooner than I could imagine. We decided that the venue was going to be towards the lake so the moon’s reflection could be even more perfect in the water. Chloe had done my makeup, and of course, she made me look like a goddess. My wedding dress was a dark wine velvet gown that was floor sweeping and had spaghetti straps with a wine corset on my waistline. I didn’t know how Choice had managed to get it on such short notice, but it was my perfect size and I loved it. It was only a few minutes till 12AM, so Dad had come to pick me up.“You look extremely beautiful. I never thought I’d see this day, but I’m glad I’m privileged to see my daughter’s wedding ceremony.” He had a proud smile on and hugged me, planting a fatherly kiss on my forehead. “I love you and I’m glad we got to see the real light before it was too late.” I was grinning from ear to ear, also glad that my parents and grandmother were present at my wedding. Dad led me to the v
We were all fully-prepared and determined to find Keegan today and return home with him. Chloe switched to her wolf form and started leading the way while we all followed behind her. She was way slower than I’d have wanted to run, but I had to bear with it. The run lasted for really long minutes till we finally stopped in front of a small building surrounded by so many men, judging from their musty scent, clearly rogues. ‘Be careful and attack them at once.’ I ordered and after a count, we charged at them. They were so confused to even do anything so we were able to kill or knock them out in accordance. “According to Vladimir, there might still be more guards in and we’ll have to be even more careful.” Chloe said in a bark. “And according to him, we’ll be better in our human form. “Really?”“Yes. Please switch quickly.”Good thing we had planned for a few wolves to carry clothes for us in bags. We received clothes from the bags then we had to quickly switch to our human form an
~ KEEGAN ~ I had tried my best to be free from this bondage and try to escape but it was all to no avail. Dad was planning a really terrible attack on my pack and I was scared that they weren’t going to be able to handle it since they wouldn’t be expecting it. I had overheard that Jane had gotten her gift and I was so proud of her but I hoped she was able to secure the pack in place. I wondered if she was back at Dark Stone or still stuck with those Ardolfs. I had no idea on what to do. I was at the weakest point of my life and it didn’t seem like help could come to me. One of the men walked into the room in their completely protected outfit then extended a glass to me. Water! I could finally have water?!I desperately let him pour the water down my throat and it made me feel so refreshed. He stepped back then stared at me. I wondered what the hell was going on till I started feeling knots in my stomach. I was too weak to let out a groan so my cry of pain was muffled internal
~ VLADIMIR ~ It was another day to just torture Keegan and watch him die slowly. The pleasure I derived from rubbing it in his face that he was so weak right now and I was just a step closer from dominating and being the new strongest Alpha again. “What exactly would you gain?” He asked, his voice was extremely low with his head hung low as well. “Revenge and power.” “I don’t know what you might’ve been fed with, but I just realized that there had been no reason for you to have started hating me when we were younger. We were so close with Scarlett and….” He trailed off and started coughing. The fact that he was playing dumb was really pissing me off. He had been the cause of my mother’s death and had always been against my success. I had been raised to hate him, so of course, I couldn’t let him try to convince me with his words when I was really close to achieving my desire. *** Where the hell was Dad? I had been trying to reach out to him towards our final attack against Dark
(Please ignore any grammatical errors or nicely point them out.) When I arrived at dark stone, my heart dropped to the ground as I saw so many people lying on the ground, looking so lifeless.If their chests weren’t still rising and falling, I’d have thought they were dead. What the heck happened? I nudged Mae’s wolf, no movement, I also tried to move Scarlett and Mason’s wolf but neither of them were responding to me.I searched around those in either their wolf form or human form lying on the ground, but there was no sign of Keegan around them and that made my heart start beating really fast. ‘Where the hell are my parents?’ I asked Vera. ‘Let’s just search around.’ She responded.I decided to search the entire town for my parents or Vladimir or at least a sign of Keegan. As I went around the entire pack, it was dead silent, confirming that no one was conscious. I even returned to the pack house and the members in the pack house were also lying unconscious, other people’s hou
~ JANE ~ “Please let me go!” I cried to the guards that were watching over me but they turned deaf ears to my pleas. I tried to struggle free from the plant but it was still too tight against me. My mind kept racing through what could possibly be their actual attack and my heart raced so much at the thought of the current state of the pack. What if Keegan wasn’t able to handle it? Darion suddenly walked towards me with blood stains on his body as he checked them out. “Darion,” I called, excited to at least see him. He lifted his gaze to me. “Please, save me from these people and plants. I can’t deal with this any longer.”He dismissed the guards then walked a few more steps till he stopped in front of me with a sly smile. “Oh, sweetheart,” he said in a very deep and husky voice, running his hand over my face then chortled. “You thought I was so stupid?” “The moment I started to doubt you was when I started to doubt you was when I asked if your love for me was washing off and you
~ KEEGAN ~.The pack members had undergone intense training for the upcoming attack, so we were more than prepared for what was coming our way. We had all maintained our positions close to the border they were going to be attacking from and the guards standing by to launch the traps to capture them were all also in position. ‘Be at alert. This has to be the last time we’ll experience an attack from them so we’ll stop at nothing to capture everyone of them.’ I said in a general link. ‘And ensure to protect your Luna at all cost.’ We still remained in position for a while till we started hearing screaming noises quite far away. ‘What the heck is that?’ Drex wondered. I started running towards the direction of the screaming with the guards, Mason, Scarlett, Shane, and other pack members and we noticed so many people lying unconscious on the ground as we ran. We came to a halt when we noticed the Ardolfs and multiple of their companions. There were so many rogues with them this time
~ KATE ~ I couldn’t believe I was doing this and meeting the moron again, but here I was waiting for Stefan, my long-gone mate. He walked out of a corner and stopped in front of me, maintaining a bold stance. His stubble was perfectly trimmed and his hair, as styled as ever. He never missed a chance to try to show off his good looks but I cared less about that today. “So what do you want that you had to call for my assistance?” He asked, his cold yet mocking demeanor made me have mixed feelings about him again. “Jane. I know you’ve finally found out about her.” I tucked my hand into my coat pockets, slipping out Jane’s picture from my pocket and handed it over to him. “What do I do with her?” “Don’t try to play dumb here. I’m the best person that can be of help to you. Why do you need her? I know how much you’ve been trying to find her after obviously knowing about her gifts.” He lifted his gaze from the picture with a smirk. “Still a smart woman, uh?” “There’s no time for j
