VIVIANA
“Viv, I think you should call him. Maybe he is busy with his family. It’s not like you don’t have his contact number, right?” Emma elbowed me. I was sitting over my chair, peeking into my cell phone times and again. I hoped for Alaric to call me. It’s been almost five days since we got in touch. Five fucking days.
“Why the hell didn’t he call me?” I cursed under my breath. My promotion came with a pile of new cases and responsibilities. Alaric was busy with his pack duties, and I…with my precinct duties. I was in my thoughts when I saw Emma’s figure running towards my desk. Her eyes were glittering. She seemed happy.
She stopped right over my desk and banged her palms over my table. The pens kept scattered over the desk popped up a bit due to the sudden force. I darted my eyes at Emma’s scooting persona.
“What?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. I hoped for Emma to n
ALARICAs I told Viviana about Gianna, her brows creased. I wanted to know the reason for her bewilderment. But it was like invading into her bubble- personal kind of bubble, she had been trying to protect from bursting since we met. I dropped the idea. But her changing expressions never left my eyes.I stroked gently over her knees and her thighs. I planted pecks all the way down to her ankles. She moaned a bit. But this was not good. She was puzzled, upset, or bewildered; I wasn’t certain of. Yet. She had been silent.My chain of thoughts broke when the doorbell rang. Viviana let go of my hair. I stood up.“It may be the delivery man. Looks like your weird combination has arrived, love.” I announced her forcing a smile. She reciprocated a faint one and nodded her head.I received the delivery and found the boy peeking over my shoulder. I narrowed my eyes and followed his line of sight only to rest my eyes at Viviana’s back
VIVIANAThe moment Alaric announced his adopted sister’s name to be Gianna, I recalled my childhood. I recalled the past, the blurred and horrible memories of my parents’ death, and the whimpers of a little kid. My sister. My younger sister. My mother named her Gianna. She was just one month old when everything happened. When my world collapsed. When our world collapsed.After that dreadful incident, I was relocated to another place with strangers and never got a hold of Gianna. Till today. I never even heard about her. Sometimes, I calmed myself that it was a dream. A fucking bad dream or bad memory from my childhood and I never had a sister.I never had many memories of her. She was just a month old. I still don’t remember much. How badly I wanted to know everything that happened that night! For that, I needed to go back to the Pack. To the people, who witnessed it. I never did. I couldn’t. Call it a lack of courage. I was a coward.
ALARICI was beyond being joyous over our union. It was cosmic. It was sacred. I and Viviana were mates, this was clear from the beginning. Although, my lady love rejected me. I still don’t know the reasons for that. She would confront me soon, I hoped.Still, I didn’t mark her. It wasn’t that I didn’t intend to. With all my might, I wished to. But, I didn’t want to upset Viv. She was not ready for mate-mark. Yet. And this was crystal clear. She desired time. And I was fine with that.We had sex several times by now. In my apartment, in this forest, in my car. Almost everywhere, I could think of us sharing a space. But, our wolves didn’t. Moon ached for it. I wasn’t certain about Miracle though.But the moment Moon jailed Miracle under his huge frame, she let out some whimpers. Those whimpers appeared to moans. It surprised me that she was ready for it too. Well, Moon spared no second after that and took her.
VIVIANAAlaric is one such mate; for he loves me and adored me. He gets jealous and possessive freakily fast. But I realized that life with him had always been so beautiful. I never wanted to let the moment go.“I am ready, Alpha,” I said in the middle of his caresses. Addressing him as Alpha brought me comfort. I was damn certain that I would address him as Alpha from now on. I turned me on. And it turned him on too. I saw it in his eyes.We lay in the forest. I wrapped my leg over his torso and he inhaled my scent. How freaking blissful! But good times don’t last long, do they!I suddenly felt a burning sensation over the mark Alaric mentioned. I never knew anything like that. It was burning my body. It was burning my interiors. I whimpered in pain.Alaric held me close to his body. I sensed fear in his grey eyes. I studied his features in that damn frightened state. His courage was over the edge. He loved me. I feared this mome
ALARICMy breath steadied when Viviana whispered to me. I was having minor heart attacks at the sight of my mate’s unconscious state. I attacked her lips the moment she uttered those sweet words. Viviana patted my shoulder. I released her. She gasped a bit. She inhaled a mouthful of air.Viviana’s face was different. She didn’t smile now. She was confused or dazed, I had yet to figure it out. Well, we needed to leave for home. It was getting cold now. Also, our bodies reeked of sex and forest. We needed a warm shower too.“Viv, let’s go back. Shall we?” I questioned Viviana even though I knew she would agree too. I had witnessed her teeth teetering a bit. She was cold. Viviana nodded and I scooped her up in my arms. We headed for my car and then straight to the apartment.All the way back home, Viviana didn’t utter a single word. It wasn’t like she had been a chatterbox. But, she was awkwardly silent. I gues
ALARICI was engulfed in a tight bear hug the moment I set foot in the house. I knew who it was. Except for Viviana and Gianna, nobody could do that. And this was my little pup, my Gianna.Gianna wrapped her little body around my waist and tightly secured me in place with her little legs. She was clinging to my neck like a little koala bear. I reciprocated her gesture and she squealed like a toddler.“Brother Alaric! Where have you been? I was looking for you everywhere. You didn’t inform anyone before leaving the house! Alpha dad and Luna mom were worried about you too.”Gianna’s voice held concern and care. Like it always did. She considered me more of a father than our dad. Well! I actually was to her. I caressed her back with one hand. My other hand was occupied with a little bag. I bought some presents for her. She loved to be surprised. But Gianna seemed to have no intentions of letting me go.She tucked her head in my
ALARICSelena took me off guard when she confessed her eyelashes were natural. In my pack, except for my grandfather and my distant aunt, who now lived in Austria, no werewolf had the power of mind-reading.Selena wasn’t a pack member. She hailed from somewhere far, and also to a very powerful pack; that too if she was a She-wolf. I had my doubts. But I kept my thoughts in the back of my head. She was observant.“I heard that you wished to meet me, ‘Miss’ Selena?” I asked the lady stressing the word Miss. I wasn’t certain about her relationship status.Selena laughed softly. A smile that could make people woo her. I cocked an eyebrow. She had those expressions that stated ‘how could you not be affected with my charm!’“Oh! Worry not, Alpha Alaric. I am not married yet. Also, I don’t have any special someone. So, you can address me with the word ‘Miss’. Although, I prefer to be
ALARIC~Gianna’s Trial Day~I was in my bed when a phone call startled me. It’s never the usual case that my phone is ringing. But last night, Viviana occupied my time. She had been fidgeting with her inner self. She was hesitant to meet my pack. I forgot to put the phone on silent.I turned over and found the source of that noise. Rubbing my eyes, I scanned the display to notice the time. It was 7 a.m. And the caller ID was none other than Miss Omaka.“Oh, Shit!”I fumbled out of my bed immediately. The phone kept ringing. It seemed that Miss Omaka would not inhale the next lot of oxygen till I answer the call. I pushed the answer button and cleared my throat of morning breath.“Miss Omaka!” My tone was gentle and snugged with my Alpha title. The lady responded with the same heaviness.“Alpha Alaric! I hope not to have disturbed you on this beauuuuutiful morning. But I wanted to remind you ab
~TWO YEARS LATER~ALARICI had a meeting to attend in the other state. I checked the clock. It was already 8 in the morning. And I was making breakfast. I flipped the pancake-like a pro. Satisfaction washed over me. I recalled my earlier cooking days. It was such a mess. I was punished every time I was mistaken, or something burned.And my judge was none other than my beautiful wife, Viviana. Yes, we got married almost a year and a half ago. Viviana insisted I learn how to cook. She wanted privacy. So, we didn’t have any regular cooks or maids.It was an advantage. We used to fuck everywhere in the house. It was such a time. Even after almost five hundred and fifty days of us being husband and wife, the romance, the steam, and spark were high. Viviana was always ready for it.Such a naughty wife she is! I chuckled at the thought. Yesterday, Viviana spilled a full bowl of ice cream over me when I just stepped out of the shower. She giggled and
VIVIANA“Stay there, wolf. Don’t step ahead with those judging eyeballs. This wouldn’t have happened if you listened to me. I told you to let her be. But you…” Selena scoffed. I looked at her dark eyes. It was coming. The truth. Alaric didn’t have to hear it like this. I didn’t want it. But guess I was already out of options.“What do you mean? You kidnapped Gianna, you hurt her, and you say you want the good for me? Aren’t you being diplomatic here?” Alaric asked. He wasn’t calm. Not yet. His popping veins confirmed it. But Selena was correct. He wasn’t a fault.This was all predestined. The catch was, that we had our choices to change the course of destiny.It was horrible.“What do you think? Oh! You naïve Alpha! Do you think all this… is about you?” Selena paused and laughed. Her laughter echoed. Baspo and Noah had left with Gianna already. Selena d
VIVIANA“Viviana, what’s this place? I… how you do know about it? I have never been here before! What’s all this?” I heard Alaric behind me. I calmed. Lady Ravoise vanished. Baspo stayed at the abode. The reverse waterfall returned to its original state. Everything went back to how it was earlier.“It’s The Óre,” I said to a baffled Alaric and Noah. They were covered in the same robes that Baspo had. I was laced with the flames.“I sensed Gianna here. She is nearby. I suggest that we should split and search for her.” I said. Time was running. We had to find Gianna before midnight. Once the moon was at its peak, Selena would be able to get away, even though I succeed in defeating her. I didn’t wish that.I wanted her end. Today. Here. Right in this place.Alaric scanned my eyes.“I want the same.” He whispered in my ears. I ordered Baspo and Noah to search t
VIVIANA“Baspo, we need to hurry. We are running out of time.” I urged Baspo who kept guiding me the way. We were away from Alaric and Noah. They couldn’t enter without being allowed. But Gianna did. That was another question. I couldn’t get to rephrase it. I heard a howl. A loud one. It collided with the sky and reverberated back. Straight into my ears. To be precise, Miracle’s ears.Miracle paused. Baspo didn’t. He kept moving. His pace was fast. Faster than I anticipated. He understood the situation. But how would he react after getting to know about his late mother? Another upsetting question.“Luna, what happened? Why did you stop?” Baspo made it to my mind. He linked with me. Strange! How was that …?“The Goddess…” I heard Miracle say. Okay, so the legendary Moon Goddess, Selene, blessed me with the power of mind-link without marking my mate! Impressive.“That how
ALARIC I couldn’t believe my ears. Did I hear it correctly? Did Viviana say all that? Was I hallucinating? Well, it wasn’t me to be precise. It was Moon and Miracle now. We shifted as per Viviana’s say. She mentioned that she know where Gianna was.It was good. I felt relaxed, although just 0.1 percent. But at least, something was better than nothing. She mentioned some place called The Óre. I never heard of it before. Not in my whole life. And Viviana insisted that the place had been in Samara since the beginning.How weird! I wondered if my family was cognizant of that Óre.We geared up and Viviana chose to fill me through what happened to her on the way. She said we were an hour away from that place. I wanted that. I wanted answers. That would calm my racing mind and heart. And the moment she started talking, I was horrified.Selena Dark, Selene- the Holy Moon Goddess, The Óre, Gi
ALARICMoon let go of me the moment Miracle shifted. It was all weird. So strange. So different. So impossible. I was short of words. What the hell just happened?I witnessed it. Miracle was all wrapped up in the fire, raised from the ground, howling at the Moon. The next moment, she was eating it. She just ate that shit or whatsoever it was, to begin with.The most insane thing about all this mess was that she was fine. Not even a single burn. Not a single scratch. She looked like a newly polished mirror. Was I even saying it right? My words and sentences appeared jumbled. Well, not my fault. It was the situation.It was a situation.And now, Viviana was here. She lay unconscious in my arms, and naked too. I felt like transported back in time. It happened before. That Forest of the city. She was like this that day too. I saw her mark for the first time.My eyes followed her curves and landed on her mark. It was glowing. Same as the other da
VIVIANA I kept staring. My eyes wanted the goddess to answer. Why wasn’t she saying anything? I was restless. Gianna was out there, captive. I had to save her. We need to go. And here, she wasn’t ready to talk.“You want to know?” Selene asked. Her angelic aura was so pure. She was heavenly. She was the mother. Whenever she said anything, I felt calm. My anger subsided. I was melting. I nodded.“Selena is born out of hatred, jealousy, anger, and broken heart, as I mentioned. And you, Viviana, weren’t supposed to be a pure-blooded Sun-wolf. But your mother was anxious. She was afraid. She was scared for your future. So, she promised Zelda.”“At that time, Zelda didn’t know the truth about Selena. She borrowed the power of anger, and fury and cast it into your mother’s womb. That power; was nothing but Selena’s part.” Selene mentioned. I gasped. What the hell
VIVIANAThe woman smiled. I was disgusted. How dare she? She even infiltrated my mind! I won’t let her be. I was furious. I wanted out. I wanted Miracle to stay aside. But Miracle wasn’t in her senses. She was eating fire like pancakes.The sun was nowhere. The full moon decorated the sky and the fog cleared off my mind. Gianna. I remembered her. She needed me. Now, more than ever. And I was here. My wolf was busy eating the fire, and I was fucking trapped in her mind with this woman.“How dare you? Where is my sister? Where did you keep her?” I shouted at top of my lungs. We searched the whole Samara, but Gianna was nowhere. Noah kept hearing her loud cries in his mind. While I and Alaric couldn’t do anything.I have never been this useless in my life. I felt pathetic. But the woman smiled. She kept smiling.“Stop smiling, Selena. Answer me, where is my sister?” I kept asking. The woman started approaching
VIVIANA Alaric b haves strange and so did Noah. They were covering their ears as if something bothered their nerves. I sat silently. But my mind was a cyclone. Every passing second gave me anxiety. I was scared for Gianna. Where could she be? How was she? I didn’t know it. I didn’t know any of it.Alaric huffed. His condition wasn’t good. Noah’s eyes were red. He was in pain too. What the hell was happening exactly?“Miracle, what is happening?” I asked my wolf. Maybe she sensed something that I couldn’t. Miracle growled, grumbled, winced, and then whimpered. She was in pain.“Mate is suffering,” Miracle replied with a whimper. Moon wasn’t in a good state of predicament. Time wa running. I touched Alaric’s shoulder. He eased a bit. Another moment leaped, and Alaric appeared good.“What was that? Miracle said Moon is in pain. What hap
