“I can’t believe he actually agreed!” Scarlett squeaked, throwing a dress into her suitcase. “What sort of magic do you possess?”
“Magic? No, it’s just Chloe’s advice.” I waved a hand over my face.
“Chloe? Who’s Chloe?”
“An omega, from Night Shadow pack.”
“Oh. That's new.”
“She's such a great friend and I miss her so damn much.” I smiled.
“I used to be your only friend. Shouldn’t I be jealous now?” She chuckled.
“Why would you be?”
“Anyway, I don’t know what magic Chloe possesses, but I’m very grateful to her. I can’t believe grumpy Keegan would agree. I&r
“…It’s so glad to finally see your face and speak to you again. The pack house has been very different without you around and to worsen it, Kim isn’t here anymore.” Chloe said and heaved a sigh. Hearing about Kim's death made memories of her murder flash in my head and weighed my livened mood down. “It’s fine, it’s fine. None of this is your fault.” She probably noticed the gloominess in my look since it was a video call. “I can’t help—”“Let's change the topic of discussion.” She cut me off. “Concerning seducing your Alpha, how is that turning out?” “I won't continue with that. There’s no point anymore.” “What do you mean?” “I’m no longer undergoing any punishments. Alpha Keegan has freed me from all my punishments.” “That’s great! My seduction tips definitely worked on him. There’s no way you’re stopping it now.” A proud grin spread her lips apart. I couldn’t tell her it wasn't because of her seduction tips but because the mate bond was affecting him. Telling her could cau
I continued searching everywhere for the omega, but there was still no sign of her. What the hell? Where could she be? I headed to Mrs. Bea’s chamber and burst the door open without thinking twice. “Mrs. Bea! Where is the omega?” Her eyes were widened by my barging in. She had a bunch of money in her hand that she quickly hid behind her. “Al-Alpha, you’re… here…”“I asked where the fuck is my omega?” she flinched at the loudness of my voice. “I have no idea where Jane is.”“Aren’t you in charge of assigning her to duties?” I asked with clenched fists and jaws. “Ye-yes, but I haven't seen her today. I was searching for her everywhere but couldn’t find her. I was mad that it had passed the time for her to make breakfast for the pack house, but she wasn’t doing that.”“Why didn’t you inform me about that?”“I had no idea… I mean, I was going to, I didn’t think she was missing or something, I only thought… I thought… I didn’t know, Luna mind-linked me while I was still searching for h
~ JANE ~ A bright light shone on my face , bright enough to pierce through my eyelids and literally feel like it was burning my eyes. I rolled around, hugging the soft blanket to my chest. It felt very relaxing and most importantly, I was way too comfortable which was very strange. My eyes snapped open, scanning around like a lost puppy. I was in Alpha Keegan’s room, on his bed, again— that explained the out of the world comfort, but why? I didn’t even remember going to bed last night. With a yawn, I rolled off the bed and sneaked into Alpha Keegan’s bathroom. It was way bigger than I had imagined, definitely bigger than my bedroom; the gold-theme of the bathroom made its luxury glisten, the bathtub had a classy glass slide, the toilet bowl looked way too exorbitant and neat, like something I could lick and still remain healthy, that was crazy, I know. I quickly washed my mouth and slipped in to take a shower, the fastest shower I had ever taken, before quickly slipping back to m
I was re-reading the address Casper had sent. There was no way I could miss this chance to experience something that sounded so fun. My gaze met the fury-laced gaze of the petite woman; her brown eyes felt like they were shooting daggers at me. She hadn’t taken her eyes off me for even a moment since she got here. She had even called someone else to return the tray to the kitchen. Of course, the lady had also glared at me like I was a piece of shit. “I don’t know whatever stupid thing you’re trying to do, but I won’t disobey Alpha’s order and I’ll watch you till you fall asleep.” She gruffed. “Can’t you at least—”“It’s not like I’m interested in watching over you, so just remain quiet to avoid pissing me off even more.” She rolled her eyes and finally sat on the couch. I internally groaned, this frustration was becoming unbearable. Being in the same room with her made me feel like I was choking. I knew Alpha Keegan was going to make me resume my punishments, but this was way too
~ KEEGAN GRAY ~ “I guess these can wait till tomorrow.” I shoved the paperwork aside and rose to my feet with a yawn and left the pack office to take a stroll before heading to bed. “Alpha,” Mason said as he approached me, “Alpha Vladimir sent a message regarding the Diamond pack. We’ll need to prepare in order to assist them fight against the rogue attack that’s predicted to happen soon. He wants us to fight against them as a team and not pay attention to grudges.” He ended and locked his arms behind him. A frown appeared on my face at the thought of meeting Vladimir again. “Okay. I’ll inform Scarlett to select the guards that’ll go.” “You’re also going to be there, you know that, right?” He lifted an eyebrow at me. “I’ll think about it.” “According to the contract, you have to be there as well.” He reminded me in a very calm tone that didn’t piss me off. I heaved a sigh. “I knew something was wrong with that clause. Anyway, it’s fine. I’ll try to remember it.” “Good e
Casper’s car finally stopped in front of the pack house and my heart felt like it weighed heavier than normal. My breath was unsteady, I didn’t want Casper to notice that. “Go on in, it’ll be fine.” He said with a warm smile. I returned his smile, trying to hide my fear. The uncertainty of what Alpha Keegan could do scared me. The worst that could happen was that he was going to kill me; I didn’t think I had done anything that worse that could lead to my death. I didn't want to be scared, but I had no control over my emotions at this point. “Goodnight,” I said and got out of his car. “Do you need me to go in with you?” he offered. I shook my head. “I’ll be fine. I’ll just sneak back in. See you later.” I waved at him and shut the car door. He hesitated before zooming off. A heavy breath left my chest as I turned and headed in through the back door again, wondering why no one was guarding here. The moment I opened the door, it was very dark inside, but the lights suddenly turned
“Jane, we’re here.” Scarlett tapped me. I slowly opened my eyes, stretching my arms out a bit. When did I fall asleep again? “We’re here.” She repeated.I glanced out the window at the two story building sitting right in front of the car. It had so many flowers and plants around it, on the walls, the rails, which added to its beauty. Behind the house, there was a forest that seemed farther than it looked. “It’s such a beautiful place.” I commented. “Yes, let’s head inside.” She still sounded sulky. We got out of the car and caught up with Alpha Keegan by the doorway. He rang the doorbell and it didn't take a minute before the door flung open and Pam Anderson, Scarlett's Mother, came in view, grinning from ear to ear. Scarlett looked like a photocopy of her with the same blue eyes and short blonde hair. “Alpha, Scarlett, I’m so glad you’re here! And you're together.” She grinned and pulled both of them into a joint hug before pulling away. “George!” she called into the house and S
“This weekend is like a break for me.” He changed the topic and when I raised my head to him, he seemed like he was on the verge of smiling. “I want to feel free from my Alpha roles and just have fun for the first time in a long time. I want to explore different aspects of being a werewolf, aspects that aren't tied down to being an Alpha.“Being here makes me feel nostalgic because Scarlett’s grandmother used to live here and when we were younger, we’d come here for holidays sometimes, she’d make us the best dishes, tell us strange and interesting stories, educate us on herbs and the uniqueness of each flower…” he smiled, staring ahead of him like he could see it happening again. Alpha Keegan was actually 'smiling'? So he could 'smile'? “Those days were such happy days. They made me feel loved, she felt like family, like my actual grandmother. Would you like to know a secret?” “What secret?” I returned his smile, eager to hear something exciting. “When she died, I cried.” He said li
~ 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
