ESSENTIAL Years Ago...Rihanna's povThings ain't always rosy. At least I know that but that wasn't enough to push through the ups and downs of life. Things will worsen some point in time while there are days that amounts to the better one. Good days- Not that easy to come by and also not that hard. I just have to make it happen which is what I don't know how to. It's essential, to my mental health.Jedd pounds on the door and I wince at the blinding sunlight streaming through the window, directly into my sensitive eyes."Rihanna, we have to leave in two minutes! Get up now!" He yells angrily before storming down the stairs. I groan loudly, turning over and pulling my duvet on top of my head. My body screams in pain from last night and I can already feel a major headache beginning to start.I rip the duvet off me and roll out of bed, feeling emotionally and physically drained. I can't deal with people today, not even Jedd or Dad. I limp towards the mirror, groaning as I notice a bri
LIKE A DREAMCircle hasn't been that much of a dreamer so these; she would like to believe.When the seawater reached Xavier's chest, that's when he stopped walking.When she felt like he was about to let her go, her arms tightened around his neck."Relax. I won't drown you." He said and chuckled a little which made her frown."What's with you? Why do we have to do it here? What if I drown?" She yelled at him. She was acting as if she had no choice but to do what he wants but the truth is, she is already excited."I won't let you drown. And I already told you, didn't I? I wanted to try doing it here." He answered while grinning."You, jerk!" She yelled and was about to punch him when in a flash, he had changed their position, which she did not know how he did.Now she is facing him, her arms are still around his neck while her legs were encircled around his waist as their chests pressed together and their faces were only inches apart. She gulped when she felt his already erect manhoo
THRONE Anderson sat on his throne, sipping his morning green tea while he has two ladies by his side. As usual, they were almost nude, sitting on the next stool beside him.He was profound in his intention, thinking of what they had discussed with the Duke and a few official members of the pack. '' So there are other packs apart from Nightmoon Pack?'' he doesn't believe what the officials were telling him about that other pack. But they were not werewolves but Vampires.'' It would be pleasurable having the vampires under my feet- haha'' he grinned as he shook his legs on the little stool before him.Aidan suddenly stormed into the castle with his usual bold face, he had never felt any slight of happiness or love for him whenever he saw Anderson. Since the day he killed his mate.Aidan halted in front of him, with a wave of his hands he dismissed the two girls beside him. '' Ander what on earth do you think you are doing?'' he scoffed staring at his cold glance of Anderson.Anderson
REMINISCING During the former Alpha's reign..."He looked even cuter when he was young," Moon said, changing the topic. Grandma nods with a proud smile on her face."You know, when he was way younger…little girls couldn't get away from him…sometimes, we had to shove them away," Grandma Shiley said, reminiscing on how she always chased the children away."But it was different with him… he had no time for any, even a smile was hard to get from him" grandma continues. It wasn't strange to Moon, she's seen it and she needs no one to tell her. The only person she's seen him smile with is Lisa, and she wishes she was the one."Always the lone and cold type" grandma Shiley tells."Does that mean he had no friends?" Moon asked curiously. Grandma chuckles."He has Derrick and Bruice… those are the only people he's got himself acquainted with"grandma Shiley informs. Moon nod.They kept on discussing about Keane and her childhood and how funny he was when he tried to imitate his favorite superh
THE DESIRE Waking up the next day was like waking up to a new life, a new beginning. The beautiful and pleasing sound of birds chirping made her lips widen into a beautiful smile as she rolled to the side, clenching to the pillow and taking in his sweet smell dreamily. The scene last night came playing in her mind making her even redder than an apple. His touches and his kisses are something she will never get used to and will never want to… If it's a dream, then she doesn't wish to wake up. Her bare feet came crashing on the cold floor sending chills of electricity through her even though it was nothing compared to what he made her feel. She was still naked, she stared at herself in the mirror. The smile on her face widens even more, as she touches the hickey on her neck riminancing on how gentle he was. This got her wondering where he might have gone, the urge to find him kicked in but she knew better than to go searching for his whereabouts. With one glance at herself, she w
INSIDE HERFew minutes later, both were breathing hard. Kristen curled under him, he was still inside her and would not have thought of pulling out for anything in the world. Again, he did it raw.He frantically asked himself what had made him lose his guard and sleep with her raw the second time.Once, he could call it a mistake but twice, no way.Well he did not plan for them to have sex and so he did not bring condom and again, he doesn't carry condoms around."That was hot"Kristen chuckled,"I wasn't expecting someone to bless my mid-morning with a sweet sex. Thank you"She added and pushed him off her.Frederick noted she thanked him at the inn and now, she thanked him again. It's more like she thanks you everything she had sex with you and the thought that many have had their ways with her tagged at his heart. He did not like the feeling and he took in some breath."She is not your girlfriend. She is not even close to being your friend. You don't even know if you would come bac
NO SHAME "Ladies of these days have no shame, I know I swear not to judge her wrongly but then this attitude of hers is not good at all. She should at least cover up and behave decent at all time whether at home or not"Naomi soliloquized in Kristen's absence.The couch felt so hot for her because to her, she being there was kind of associating with the lady Kristen is.Nothing is holding her from leaving the house, she chooses to be rooted there and in her mind, condemning the poor girl.Kristen, if gets to know what is running through her neighbor's mind, would not bother because people's opinions don't matter to her anymore.She is living her life for herself not for anyone and it entirely gives her peace of mind to know that people talk about her behind her back and when she gets to hear, she pretends as if she doesn't hear.Not everyone can do this but she does it effortlessly and that makes her a queen of her own world.Kristen returned with a flat breakable plate and cutleries
WITHOUT WARNINGHer brows furrowed and looked between me and the shower. The corner of her lip pulled down a fraction, just for a second. Not a full frown but I couldn't stop staring at her mouth now."Are you sure?" I pressed."Sidney, I....," she shook her head and inhaled, "I'm fine. Tired. Just tired." She was lying.The tone of her voice had words lingering the air unspoken. She was holding back."Remember, Lia, I told you not to lie to me." My fingers tightened on the towel sitting low on my hips. They itched to punished her for not being honest with me."Ugh." She huffed and rolled her head dramatically with her eyes. "That was really nice Sidney. I'm not used to being treated like this. Normally when men use me, they leave as fast as they can afterwards.""I saw an opportunity and I took it, but I'm not using you, Lia." As badly as I wanted to fuck her, I still saw her as a person."That's all the others ever did. I wasn't a person I was just a pretty thing for them to use. A
"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
