“What?! How’s that even possible?” I wondered. “I don’t know. Just help me out, please. I don’t think I can hold on to the remaining piece for any much longer. I stared around to see if there was anything I could grab but nothing at all. “Please stay still. I’ll be right back. I scuttled away and headed over to the receptionist. “Hi Mr. Gray,” she grinned at me. “I need a large towel and a robe right now.” I asked, glancing back in high hopes that Jane could still hold on. “What?” She looked so confused. “Right now!” I demanded, slapping my hand to the table. "Okay, okay." She trembled and quickly left. I paced around, tapping my hand against any object it landed on till she scuttled back with what I had requested for. "H-here." She stuttered and dropped them on the counter. I quickly grabbed it and ran back to Jane then dropped the robe on the sand. She had her hands on her shoulders with panic in her deep blue eyes. I walked into the water to meet her. "I lost the piec
I heard the rumbling sounds of an engine from outside the beach house and dried my hands with a towel before heading out, wondering who the hell disturbed people with an engine at such an hour of the night. When I got out, I was surprised to see Keegan on a really cool black bike with a helmet on his head and another helmet on the bike handle. He did something that made the engine roar again. “Whoa, where did you get this from?” I swept my hand over the head of the bike. “A long story, but anyway, there’s a bike. Hop on.” “Where are we heading to?” “The concert is coming up soon. We can go on a bike ride and maybe do other things before heading to the club. I was grinning ear to ear as I responded, “sounds like fun! I’ll grab the tickets and get into denim trousers.” “Hurry up. This baby needs exploration.” He rubbed the bike. I headed back in and got into denim jeans and a black crop top, then I grabbed a purse Chloe had bought for me and slid my phone and the tickets into t
I stormed to them and pulled the lady from Keegan. I had no business with her, so I glared at him instead. “Seriously? Is this the best you can do?” I asked and he frowned as well. “I agree I left for a while, but do you have to stoop so low to other women to get back at me?” My blood was literally on fire at the moment. “What? Are you jealous?” His frown transformed into a smirk. His nonchalant attitude raised my fury beyond limit, my body was vibrating from the heat of infuriation. “Jealous?” I scoffed. “Do you think I'm stupid? I feel like slapping you right now, but of course, you’re the Alpha. Who am I even kidding? You can do what you want, right?” I let out a mirthless laugh. “What the hell is wrong with this bitch?” one of the women said, three of them had disgust-filled glares directed at me. “Yeah, who the fuck is she to interrupt us?” The lady that was kissing him said and suddenly pushed me backwards. The force at which she pushed me made me fall backwards and draw p
“Where is your Alpha now?” Chloe asked.“I have no idea. I think he had to attend to something.” I shrugged, lying on the bed with my phone held above my face. “Aren’t you supposed to know everything about each other now?” She chuckled, grabbing a pack of chips, disturbing my ears with its sound as she opened it. “Uh?”“How can I know everything about him?” I rolled my eyes “Where’s Mae?”“She’s in… oh, she just walked in. Mae, Jane’s on the phone. Where have you been?” “Nowhere!” She quickly replied, drawing my suspicions to her. She walked over to the camera and waved her hand, dropping a bag beside her. “What’s up Jane?” “I’m good. How’s everything over there?” “It’s going really great. You’re glowing excessively. Are you certain we shouldn’t be preparing for the arrival of the next Alpha to this pack?” She teased. I rolled my eyes at her. “Do you ever stop rambling nonsense?”“Are you fucking kidding right now? Why not?” Chloe wondered. “Haven’t you seduced him? You know thi
~ MASON ~“Good morning.” I planted a soft kiss on Crystal’s forehead and grabbed my coat. “Good morning.” Her voice was cold as she wore her scrubs over her, ready to leave without another word. “Wait. What’s with that attitude?” I squinted my eyes at her. “What attitude?” She asked with a frown. “That one. What’s wrong?” I dropped my coat, paying closer attention to her. “Of course, there’s nothing wrong. Do you see anything wrong? No, then let me be.” She wanted to leave but I still held her. “You have to tell me what’s up with you.” “Let me be, I have to head to work.” She yanked her hand from my grip and took her leave without another word. “Did I do something wrong and don't remember? Why’d she suddenly be grumpy?” I asked myself. I was starting to get bothered over her attitude then remembered that she was pregnant, so these pregnancy mood swings were supposed to be expected. “Jeez. I’ll give her time to calm down.” I grabbed my coat again and wore it over my shirt. *
Just because we were both very bored and wanted to enjoy each other’s company, we had agreed to go on a walk together and here we were, walking hand in hand by the shore of the beach without exchanging any words. I just couldn’t get over the sparks that flowed through me from my hand being connected to mine. It felt so strange that we were normalizing these things, when in reality, it wasn’t normal. How could I pretend to be his girlfriend and normalize that I was always experiencing scintillating feelings when he touched me? I always enjoyed being kissed by him and always wanted more than a kiss, I was jealous when he was with other women. It was certainly not normal, but for now, I was going to let it remain normal just to maintain my sanity.The silence between was also boring, yet calming. “So .. what do you think of me now? During the period of the vacation, do you see me as a better person and not the monstrous arrogant Alpha you know?” He asked. “Well… I guess so.” I shrugge
Keegan groaned for the umpteenth time. “Remind me to throw a lot of things at Mason when we return. He wouldn’t stop mind linking me.” He complained. I chuckled and shoved the last bag into the car trunk.“He keeps saying that we should head back quickly. Does he expect us to just teleport right there and now?” He rolled his eyes. The driver Keegan had hired to drive us to the airport walked up to us and waved his hands. “Hello. I’m Mike and I’m at your service.” He said with a warm smile. “Great. We’re heading to the airport like I already said. Are you ready now?” Keegan asked. “Sure, the car key?” he asked and Keegan threw it to him. He caught it without stress and opened the door to the driver's seat to get into it. I heaved a sigh as I stared back at the beach house. “I feel so sad that I’m leaving the beach house. I've made memories here and there that I can never forget. “Me too. It gave me the opportunity to discover new qualities in me through you, so it’s also a grea
The party was such a big deal for the pack members and many werewolves. It was an annual couples' party hosted in different packs each year that most werewolves looked forward to. I had never been involved in these things, so I had never really paid attention to it, but now that I was attending, I had to pay more attention and assist in preparation here and there. It was going to be hosted in Diamond pack this year. A lot of people were making arrangements on their clothes, shoes, their movement, and were trying to attend to the work they had to do before leaving, and many more things. With Keegan’s resumed grumpy attitude, I didn’t feel like attending the party with him anymore, but of course I couldn’t break the agreement. I had agreed to go there if we went on a vacation and we had gone on the vacation. I did a few more chores then decided to go on a walk to enjoy the natural breeze outside. I also took a little cash from Mrs. Bea so I could grab something from the store on my w
~ 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
