ALMOST KIDNAPPED Heaving a relieved sigh as she watched Rihanna out of sight, she hurried off the way to Axel's study room. She hasn't reached anywhere when she was yanked forcefully by the arm, the mug in her hand falling and shattering into pieces through the process. Keira's eyes snapped as she witnessed that figure in black hoodie." Arrgh!..." the figure jammed his palm over her mouth beforehand, hushing her up before her scream could rise above an octave. All kinds of shrills down down her veins as the thought of what was about to happen dawned on her.As the figure was about bundle her up his shoulder, she swings her knee up and hits him down there, causing his hands to flip off her forearm as he jerked backward, the pain having kicked in with full force. " Somebody help!" She hurriedly screamed about to run out of the corner when he cornered. Again tell her there was no possible escape. Hayden who have been ransacking through everywhere in Axel's study room and was still wai
HER RELATIVES She's a relative. That's what Axel finally came up with and discovered. Brian lay on the couch thinking about the events of the past one month.His pride hadn't let him stop Lorette that day, he knew there a truth In what she was saying but his insistence on not being someone who is able to love got him being cruel to her.As her soon as her taxi had left that day, he had head back in and had ask Nadine to leave and while going down stairs to get some thing to eat, he slipped hitting his head on the barricade.He remember that he woke up a while later to find him self in his room, one of his maids who had spot him on the floor had call for the doctor. And while the doctor was checking up on him that was when his lost memories began to come back. He knew then and there that he lost the only gem In his life, he sent her away with out even trying to under stand her and though she had stayed even with his cruelty, his final act with Nadine had got her leaving him.At firs
HER TWIN SISTER Keira heared the screeching of a car to an halt and dashed over to the window. Sightly opening the curtain, she was met with the sight of Axel just climbing out of his sleek red sport car. Quickly, she closed the curtain and ran wildly up the stairs and back to her room. Remembering Rihanna is yet to be back, she shut the door to her room even before she could enter and bolted towards the hallway and straight to the backdoor.Immediately she let it open, Rihanna burst in and ran off. Leaving her to shut the door as fast as possible." Damnit." She cussed under her breath as she clipped the door shut and took on her heels. Immediately she got into her room, she turned the keys in the lock before slumping right unto the floor. There's just something about Axel they both just couldn't stand."Where on earth have you been?" Shooting up her feet, she shot her a look while watching her slip into a comfy short, leaving her crop top on. Rihanna walked over to the bed, " I've
KISSING HERIt's not until Keira came out of the room alongside Rihanna that they got to know they have a visitor. They were about stepping foot into the dinning hall to pack the dishes when they came to a sudden stop, sighting her at where she's seated scrolling through her phone, they would have went in if they hadn't seen Hayden also present on seat."Since you don't have anymore thing to say, I'll get going." Hayden said and with that, he rose up his feet and headed towards the exit while Charlotte has her eyes solemnly fixated on his retreating figure as he walked away. Keira was too lost watching her expression and didn't realize he's just caught her peeping on them. "That betrayal!" She slammed her head over her mouth and looked beside her but it was void of Rihanna's presence. Shaking her head wistfully, she finally walked inside the dinning hall. Without mumbling any word of acknowledgment towards her, she started arranging the dishes over each other."You don't see me on s
REMEMBRANCE "Alpha..." Facing Hayden, she tore her eyes away from Hayden and bowed her head. As she rose her head up, she definitely wasn't expecting it when he grabbed her face and smacked his lips on hers, stilling her to a shock that reached the narrow bone.Her stomach was embedded with butterflies immediately. It felt unrealistic but then, she should stop trying to deny the fact that she's currently being kissed. How in the world did she find herself in this situation?It wasn't too long when she pulled away that she started gagging for a long breath. As she bent over, placing her hands by her knees, she saw Charlotte's stomping out of the garden. Then it clicked in, he'd kissed her only because she's there and probably because he wants to make her jealous. Instantly, she became overwhelmed with anger. Why's she feeling like she was used? She doesn't know if that is her first kiss... Heck; it could be her first but jeez, It had it come in such a situation like this. Her first k
PACK AFFAIRS Hayden stirred from his alcohol induced slumber with a groan. His arm had fallen asleep from being flung over his face the whole night so he turned to his side just as the room brightened with the sun rise. The servants assigned to his chambers were up and already about their tasks; their footfalls and early morning rush stirring him from his lazing sleep. He opened his eyes and frowned at the spot beside him where there was a small indentation like someone had been there.Now that he noticed, there was an unfamiliar presence hovering around the room like someone had just left. He placed his hand on the spot frowning at its warmth. He pulled the sheets closer to his nose, detecting a faint rose fragrance that reminded him oddly of Keira.But why would her scent be in his bed?He pushed it away and thought it as an effect of the wine he’d overindulged in the previous night. Perhaps he was still disgruntled from the after effects of drinking too much.He decided to start
THE UNDERWORLD “This isn’t a game. It’s my life!”“Exactly,” he growled into her ear. “Locals, not necessarily the trustworthy ones, will be out there tonight, seeing me with a woman they think is Alyssa. If you’re gasping and fighting and pushing every time I put a hand on you, they’ll know you’re an imposter. And if the man chasing you offers them money for information about a suspicious female…you’ll be an easy target to spot.”And an easy one to kill. Jack didn’t say it, but he thought it. Just as Morgan did.“Couldn’t I leave here as a bag lady or a nun or something?”“Your gun-toting friend is going to be waiting, watching. Don’t you think the emergence of a nun from a strip club would send up a few red flags?”He was right, damn it. She had to get a grip. If dressing like a stripper and letting a good-looking guy fondle her for a few minutes was all it took to keep her safe, she’d survive the embarrassment and the blow to her modesty.There was just one problem: She reacted to
THE LITTLE GESTURE Keira was totally helpless when she was bundled into the car alongside the Alphas. Looking at each one of them, she couldn't help th curiosity. As they drove through the tarred road leading to where she doesn't know and wouldn't as their lips are firmly closed, not about uttering out a word anytime soon. She dare not question them though. Even though she can't help wondering where they are headed, she has to make sure she doesn't get on their nerves. Who knows what they are taking her away for? And even if they weren't meaning to harm her before, her questioning then might make them choose to. Hours later, the car screeched to an halt and her hands clamped her dress, scared. ~~~ "NO! Stop! Please, stop!" the naked girl screamed at the top of her lungs as she wriggled in vain against her captor. The werewolf had its claws pinning each of her wrists down to the point that they were slightly sunken into the soil of the forest clearing they were in. It'd alrea
"At first, he had tried to entice me by showing me all that I would stand to gain if I accepted his offer. According to him, his pack was large enough to accommodate us and he would be responsible for our safety, that way we wouldn't need to fight off enemies all by ourselves. That made so much sense but I could not accept it." "This pack means more to me than just being a pack. It's a remnant of Crystal pack. I can't just team up with some other pack who had no idea what we've been through. Besides, I discovered that Kappa is somehow involved with Alpha Lundamous' son. I can't have anything to do with a pack who teams up with the one pack that killed my parents." He remained quiet, not wanting to interrupt for fear that she might come to her senses and shut up her emotions like he had seen her do to others. It was a huge surprise that she was revealing all these to him and Hayden was sure she was only doing that because she thought he was someone else. Speaking out would make her r
BEEN THROUGH A LOT He was starting to feel discouraged after running for a while without any sight of the alpha.He had no idea if he had followed the exact path she had taken but he had seen some paw prints on the wet ground and had simply followed. But currently, he was beginning to doubt if those paws belonged to the alpha.Wiping the sweat that had now creased his brow, he sighed heavily, wondering if he should just return or continue his search. Would she even want to see him?After listening to Kunata say shit about him, he was not so confident about the Alpha's feelings for him anymore. Though she had not said anything bad about him — except that she would kill him if he turned out to be an enemy; his heart was still hurt by those words — Aiden didn't know how she was feeling inside.Was she beginning to have some second thoughts about him? Would she listen to Kunata and send him out of the pack? Or would she let him stay but withdraw herself from him?Surprisingly, he didn't
DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE I had been waiting for close to thirty minutes yet no sign of him. Did he think I was a joke? Had he deliberately accepted to meet me just to stand me up for hours?I raked a finger through my hair, trying to control my anger as I stood at the foot of the baobab tree we had agreed to meet at. This spot was one of the secret places we could meet and I had personally chosen it so we could have our conversation without being seen by nosy wolves in the pack.I let out a big sigh, still wondering if I had been played. Had he done this just to get back at me? I didn't want to believe that I had been stupid enough to get played on like this.To be honest, I would not be surprised if he didn't show up. Somehow, I was expecting him not to. It had been years since we last had a proper conversation and I was not sure he liked me anymore to want to be around me.Nevertheless, he should have just told me he was not going to come rather than lead me on only to abandon me to m
BURST OUTShe looked at me, her blue eyes watering as her lips quivered."I don't know. He left. He didn't want to hurt me so he left. He felt he would harm me if he remained here with me. But I don't think so. I told him we will get through this together. I know I will be able to calm him anytime he shifts. I'm not afraid of him. I love him." She burst out in tears.I stared at her, my jaw dropped in shock and surprise. What was she saying? Why would Aiden think he would hurt her?Aiden was the sweetest person I have ever known so it just didn't sit right with me that he would hurt a person. Besides, did she just say she loved Aiden? What made her think she had the right?There were so many questions I wanted to ask but the exact opposite left my lips."I don't understand.""Do you know Aiden is an Epsilon?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She was looking at me like I should know what she was talking about but I had no idea."A what?""An Epsilon. Don't you know what that means?""A
ANYWAY He kept staring at him, finding it funny that the man would think he knew his alpha. He had mentioned her name with so much pride and he was sure he had expected him to cower at the sound. But he was not in any way afraid, in fact, he was intrigued. Intrigued by this pack with a female alpha. "Let him go, Kunata!" Alpha Velvet sighed. Kunata finally let him go, but not without squeezing his shirt a little bit tighter and growling into his face. Aiden adjusted his tunic and leaned back to the heap of stones, his golden-brown eyes on the alpha who was slowly approaching him. "I don't think you should come close to him, alpha. I strongly believe he is dangerous." "Stop it, Kunata. I can take care of myself, remember?" They were talking about him as if he wasn't there. Aiden wanted to yell at them that he was right by their side and would appreciate it if they let him be but it seemed like the words had solidified in his throat, making it difficult to get them out. Alpha Ve
MORPHED He could not take his eyes off the bloody corpse lying all around him. The werewolves who had attacked him had now morphed back to their human forms and their bodies lay in waste, blood oozing out from various parts of their lifeless bodies. They were dead and he could not believe he had killed them. When he had threatened to feed on their corpse, he had never meant to kill them. He had only wanted to scare them off and perhaps injure them a little just to teach them some lesson, but the worst had happened. His wolf had done what it knew how to do best and it had gone ahead to rip them all apart. Aiden could still remember trying to stop his wolf from killing them, he had yelled, had even tried to morph back to his human self but all his effort had been futile because his wolf had not listened to him. It felt like they were two different entities with different minds and no matter how much he yelled, it was as though his wolf could not hear his voice. Now that he was thi
SOMEHOW It was so noisy here and the noise hurt my ears. I didn't know where I was but this was the only pack I had seen ever since I began this journey and my instinct told me Aiden must be here.Now I could not explain why I felt so strongly that he must be in this pack. I couldn't catch his scent so it could not be that but my instinct never lied, and I knew it would not start lying to me now.It had been a day since I left the Blood Moon pack after speaking to Aiden's friends. After gaining no information about Aiden's whereabouts from them, I decided to embark on my search alone.No one seemed to be worried about Aiden, including his mother. I had visited her after her release and had asked if she knew anything about her son but the omega woman had only shrugged and had said with a dreamy smile that she believed her son was okay.I could still remember how confused I had been and I had gone ahead to ask her why she was so confident. The woman had shrugged again but had remained
LIST "I said you should stop. Are you deaf?" The voice called out again and I tensed, my jaw working badly as I tried to keep calm. Whosoever it was starting to get on my nerves and it was difficult to stay calm anymore.I had never liked to be ordered around; all my life, I had been ordered around like a dog but had to endure it because I had no choice.But now, I wasn't under an alpha, neither did I belong to a pack, I was an outlaw and I would be damned if I allowed some assholes to order me around."I said you should stop!" I felt a grip on my wrist, forcefully pulling me around and before I could react, he had punched me hard in the face. I staggered but soon regained my composure.A snicker escaped my lips as I touched my nose where he had punched me. It hurt like hell and I was sure my nose was broken but I still laughed."Are you laughing?" I heard him say and I raised my head to look at my attacker.He was a tall lanky man with heavy beards and he had a scowl on his face. H
NOT A WORD I could not say a word, not because I didn't know what to say but because I was still stunned by the kiss. I had not been expecting that. It was just a slight brush but it was still a kiss."I didn't think your type still exist. The book I read said it didn't." Nicole returned to her sitting position."What are you saying?" I sat back too, still maintaining some distance in between. I didn't know what could happen so it was best I stayed away. I didn't even like that she was in the room with me. What if I shifted again? This time around, I didn't think she would survive. There would be no way for her."Nicole, I think you should leave. You can't be here with — ""Epsilon!" She cut me off."What?" My brow furrowed in confusion. "Epsi what?""You are an epsilon! Considered an extinct or extremely rare state for a werewolf to have, Epsilons or feral werewolves are created when your wolf instincts supersede your human mind, effectively turning you into an animal — forgive my l
