Carefully I placed the picture back in the nightstand but this time I left it face up. Even though I was a ball of mixed up emotions, and maybe was a little insane at the moment, I was still human. The memory of Lunar or Hailey whatever the bitch did and the love that they shared was a part of Six and he was a part of me, so in turn I had to accept them all and get over it. With my new resolve all figured out I slowly closed the drawer.Right after it was shut the bathroom door was slammed open. I jumped at the sound of Six’s roar echoing through the apartment,“KAYAH!”Frightened that he might catch me snooping around in his bedroom I frantically began to look around the room. His footsteps shook the floorboards as he started to make his way to the room and with nothing to hide behind in his room I ended up taking a seat on the unmade bed. As soon as my butt hit the comforter Six had wedged himself through the door.I could feel my face heat up at the sight of him. He had on a pair o
I lifted my arms up and wrapped them around his thick neck. There was nothing more that I could say that would help calm him down and holding him was the only thing I could think of to do. There was a heavy thud as Six fell to his knees and quickly gathered him into his chest. My butt slid from the bed and onto his thighs as he cradled me. Six buried his nose in my hair and took a few deep inhales that would both help to calm him down and check my scent for any changes.I knew that his wolf wouldn’t allow him to let me go until I reeked of him so I snuggled up closer and got comfortable. I could feel the warm little butterflies fluttering around in my chest as we sat there in silence but I knew that feeling wouldn’t last long. I might have the affection of Six’s wolf but when it came to the man I was still in the dog house.A few moments later, when Six was finally satisfied with my scent, he released me. When his hands snuck their way under my armpits and lifted me up off of him I f
I hadn’t exactly thought things through very well when I stomped ahead of Six and made my way to the bar by myself, but it was obviously Six’s fault for making me so mad. If he could just trust me a little bit more and maybe treat me more like his mate rather than some flea bitten mongrel then maybe I wouldn’t have carelessly flung myself into the bar. And maybe, just maybe I wouldn’t have rammed into the one person I had prayed to avoid. February.Without Six behind me for support I ended up falling flat on my butt. February’s head snapped in my direction with a low hiss coming from her thin lips. “Watch where you’re going.”I felt a shiver run down the length of my spin as my eyes met with her flashing silver ones. As soon as I noticed her silver eyes I wanted to give into my wolf instincts and get the heck out of there because February and I weren’t exactly on the best of terms seeing as how I was now Alpha of her pack, and if I remembered correctly I was pretty sure that she wan
I touched my other hand to his upper arm and patted it reassuringly. “I’m sure.”Six’s body slowly started to relax under my touch and I could feel his gaze start to soften on me as well. His eyes returned to those perfect brilliant green ones that I adored so much. I couldn’t help but stare into them for a moment and let those sweet loving emotions that I had been keeping at bay inside of me run rampant. Six must have been sharing a similar feeling as well because his hand crept up to where mine was resting and he squeezed it gently.“Are you two mated?” Both of us snapped out of our trance at the sound of February’s voice. How had we forgotten that she was there?Six let his hand fall away from me before shrugging away from me and taking a step towards her. “What was that?”February’s gaze turned into a hard glare as she looked between the both of us. “She’s your mate isn’t she?” She snarled in my direction.Six step over to the side to block me from her hateful glare. “She is
February bowed her head even lower before lifting it up and retreating into the crowd. I looked around to see a bunch of silver eyes staring back at me but slowly they flashed back to their original colors and the pack started to livin up again.Six’s hand landed on my right shoulder and he used it to yank me back into his chest, once there I felt his warm breath tickle the back of my ear. “You shouldn’t put your life at stake so easily.”I let out a sigh. “If I hadn’t then she might not have backed down.”“Then I would have put her in her place.”I looked over my shoulder at him. There were no gold flecks in his eyes so I knew that I was talking strictly to his human half. “We don’t need to do anything. You know, we need more wolves to side with us. And making them out to be enemies is the least thing I can think of right now.”Six hooded. “But I’m serious. I would really put her in her place.”I heaved a sigh. “As my beta or as my mate?”His lips formed into a firm line and I k
Maryan’s eyes settled on mine as soon as Six took a step away from me and I knew that she sensed that something was wrong between him and me. I wanted to go up to Maryan right then and there and drag her off somewhere private so that I could just lay everything out to her but I knew that it would be the wrong thing to do. One thing would end up leading to another and I would most likely say something that would be better off not knowing. So I simply shook my head at her and silently hoped that she would just let it go but as soon as I saw her lips pucker I knew that it wasn’t going to happen.Red must have noticed that something was bothering me as well because instead of greeting his longtime friend, he brushed right by him and skipped over to me. His smile was friendly as he skidded to a halt beside me before slinging his arm around my shoulders.“What’s a pretty lady like you frowning about?” He asked with a gentle but amusing smile on his face.Whenever Red was around me he made m
I let my hand fall from my lower abdomen but kept my gaze on Six. His shoulders were squared and the knuckles on his tightly closed fists were white. It wasn’t normally an odd thing to see Six this way but at a moment that was meant to be so joyous I knew that something was definitely off. Slowly, so I didn’t raise any suspicion with Maryan or Red, I moved away from her and quietly made my way closer to Six. He was so busy glaring at Maryan’s stomach that he didn’t even notice me until I touched his shoulder.“Six,” I whispered so that I didn’t draw Maryan and Red’s attention. When he didn’t respond immediately to me I squeezed my hands on his shoulder cautiously making him snap out of his trance. “Is something wrong?”He scuffed. “It’s nothing.”“Six.” I spoke in a warning tone.Six let out a low sigh before reaching up and brushing my hand off of his shoulder. “I’ll tell you about it later.”I nodded my head hesitantly before nudging him with my elbow. “Well hurry up and congratu
Maryan laughed, “Of course I’m right. I’m always right.” She then took a piece of her long chestnut colored hair into her hand and started twirling it around her fingers. “So what was all in the drawer?”“Well,” I started before shifting my hip on the sink. “There was an old wilted rose, a plastic ring, and a worn handwritten book.”“Maybe a diary?” She suggested.I simply shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know, that's kind of what I was hoping you could help me out with.”Maryan lifted up one of her hands to scratch the back of her head while the other positioned itself on her hip. She stayed that way for a while and I was about to give up hope when she suddenly blurted out.“You know I bet you that both the rose and the ring are from Prom.”“Ahh of course Prom….whats Prom?”She laughed at my cluelessness. “I forgot that you were raised in the wild. I'm sorry Ayah, Prom is a big formal dance for teenagers in high school. The girls wore some big flashy dresses and the guys normally wo
I awoke in my stall on the bed. Light was streaming through the small window high above me. The ferals outside were noisy and I could hear that they were tearing something apart. The sound was like squelching, like flesh tearing from bones or I don’t even want to know it. But because I was freaking curious, I stood up, despite the protest of my chest and looked at the small hole in my room. And there it was. A body was torn apart, the ferals were fighting, playing tag, trying to have a large portion.“So, who was it again?” I heard someone speak up. “The other man that the king found three weeks ago,” a man said. “Oh, the one who kept on resisting?”“Yes. Unfortunately, the king’s patience ran out and he fed him to his dog.”“Well, all of those who resist him always end up being fed to these beasts,” the other man replied, which scared me. Axel must have moved me from the floor to my bed and I was glad I was asleep for that. The pain of walking or being carried would have been uni
My mouth instantly began to water. He saw me staring at his hands and laughed aloud this time. "Oh, is my little mate? Hungry?" All I could do was nod intently. It had been days since I had anything to eat or drink, and the result of that was starting to weigh upon me."Well, why don't you come over to me and get it then?" Axel looked at me with danger in his eyes. He knew I refused, he’ll just going to do what he wanted and if I talk back, Fenrir will have mercy on me. Once I realized he was serious and the only way for me to get the piping hot bowl of newly cooked meat was to walk over to him, I almost screamed in frustration. He put me through it all, he tortured me and now I'm just supposed to walk it off?! Unbelievable. Despite what I thought though, he wasn't going to give me any food until I came over to him. I began to muster up all my strength and courage even if the thing on my chest hurts like hell. It didn’t dry up or at least close. In fact it went deeper in my flesh,
Jefferson led me back to my room. “I’m sorry,” I said, almost in a whisper.Jefferson halted and turned around to me. “Yeah, whatever. It’s too late,” he replied and assumed walking. “Just to let you know, Axel doesn't have plans on letting you live for too long. I shouldn’t tell you this but well, maybe I thought you deserve to know.”When we reached my room, he opened the door and I entered inside before.him slamming the door and locking it. Inside, I saw that the haystack was gone and replaced by a bed. I laid there for at least an hour. My eyes grew heavy and exhaustion threatened to overtake me, but I refused to fall asleep. I needed to get out of this torture house and back to my pack. How that would happen- I had no idea. I hoped beyond hope that Axel wouldn't be the one to come back and get me. If I saw him again I might pass out, just out of pure terror. He scared me beyond what I could handle right now, and I couldn't handle very much. With every second that went by I
Before I could process his change of mood, he had my wrists bound in silver handcuffs above my head. I hissed but I still tried to bring them down but a clink of metal and the sensation of being burned without fire prevented me from doing that. Axel had my arms chained above my head to where I was already tiptoeing. I could barely reach the floor. A smirk was now on his face as he stared at me, helpless. I let a whimper escape my lips as all courage drained from my body. Axel only smiled more at that, taking delight in my pain and fear. He now paraded around the room, making his way towards the hot coals in the fire pit. He then tossed more charcoal. “It seemed that you still didn’t know what you were here?” He looked at me expectedly to answer the question. Of course I knew. I knew because he already told me but I pretended I didn’t. “I didn’t.” I tried to lie and spit back at him, but my words only came out as a whimper. Axel laughed at that but didn’t reach his eyes. He step
“I heard him yesterday saying someone will arrive and that someone will occupy that space,” another voice spoke up. “I didn’t know it was also a pack wolf. You’re not a feral.”“Yes,” I replied. “I was trapped, sold and purchased by Axel,” I said and heard everyone gasping. “Don’t mention his name. He can hear it,” Anna said, I heard a hint of fear.I sighed. Just as I was about to ask another question, a sound came from outside. The ferals stop growling and whine instead. Everyone quickly hushed their voices as the cabin doors creaked open. Footsteps echoed along the pavement and down the way next to my room. There they stopped, and hands started fiddling with the lock to my door. After a faint click the heavy wooden door was pushed open to reveal Axel. He stared in the room, looking at me expectedly.What did he expect me to do? I’m not just going to willingly go to him…With an angry grunt he marched into my room and picked me up by the wrist. I was then dragged across the cabin
“I don’t need someone who talks a lot,” he said and gave Katherine’s head a kick and it rolled out of the door as the knife still plunged inside my leg. “Heal yourself. I heard you are a healer,” Axel said as he pulled out the knife. The white sheet of the bed was already stained by my blood. I hissed, trying to concentrate, and heal myself despite how painful it was. And within a few seconds, the wound was already healed. “Wow,” Axel said. “So it's true,” he said. “This is going to be fun, my unfaithful, mate.”I flinched. He raised his hand and touched my face. He blinked for a bit. His face became unreadable and suddenly, he gave me a back slap again. “I was supposed to feel tingles, those excited tingles that I felt when we first met, it was heaven, it felt so good,” he said, tears started to form in his eyes. And then he looked at me, he blinked his tears back and then I watched his face morphed into anger as if he was remembering something. “You bitch,” he screamed and I earn
Axel peeked at my neck where Seven’s maek sitting out. “Hmmm,” he hummed. “That mark looked good on you, Kayah,” he said and looked at me. I couldn’t see any emotions in his eyes, it was like I was staring straight into an endless void, emotionless. And then it happened. Axel back slapped me out of nowhere. I felt like my brain was shaken and an extreme pain came later. My eyes watered as I looked at him. “Does it hurt?” he smiled in a sickening voice. “Of course it was,” he added and grabbed my hair, pulling my hair closer to him. “That damn pain wasn’t even closer to what I had felt from your betrayal and letting him mark you.”My life flashed before me over the next few days. Axel wasn’t just angr, he was so furious, unable to accept my betrayal. He told me I deserved to rot under his castle until the last day of my life. After he slapped me hard, that could kill a human immediately, his fake queen, a wolf who was scared of him as well, took me to the underground.“This will b
“Hmm,” I heard a voice. “She’s in a state that my client wouldn’t like it, Luis,” I heard a voice. It was a male. I couldn’t see him because I was blindfolded. I sniffed him but he didn’t smell like a wolf. The scent was-“Stop sniffing, girl,” I heard the voice said, annoyed. “We were all wearing some perfume to mask our scent so stop doing it. It’s annoying.”And then I heard a laugh. “Oh, don’t mind her, Jim. Let’s just get down to business,” I heard Luis. “Alright. Three million dollars for her as we agreed upon.”“Yep,” Luis said.”“My client has deposited the exact amount now and I’m taking the merchandise to him. Kindly fill up this agreement to avoid unseen problem in the future,” “Alright.”I heard some scratching of pens. “There you go,” Luis said and probably looked at Brian who was holding me. “Take her to our client’s car.”Brian started to guide me. I tried to fight but he was too strong for me given he was an Alpha bloodline. “Don’t make this hard enough, Kayah. Ju
“Oh, you’ve been a bad bad girl, Kayah,” Luis smirked and then he signaled the three men to show me what would happen if I disobeyed him again. My bruised body now slumped, shackled to a chair. After they caught me trying to escape, the trio of men beat me senseless and tossed me into this room to waste away. I could still feel the sting of Brian’s fist smashing into my cheek and the blow of Luis’ boot driving into my gut. Clumps of brown hair had been ripped from my aching scalp, Bob was responsible for that. These men, these tormentors, did far worse than just hurt me. They claimed it was to teach me obedience. To crush my spirit. And they nearly did.“What happened to fresh, not scratched and in a good condition, Boss?” Nate asked when he entered the room again. “She’s a wolf. She can heal,” Luis rolled his eyes. “You really hate this woman a lot?” Nate asked. “Not her but her damn mate,” Luis replied. “Is it also tied to her?” “Whatever their problems were, I’m out of it. I’
