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
Kayah's Point of ViewA sigh escaped my mouth. Here we go again. Another torment of my life in the second level of hell for me. This place should be one of the safest for me but no. Just like home, this is also hell for me."Hey, did you hear the news?" I heard the murmurs of students while I was on my way to my class. "The palace announced our mating ball," one member of my pack replied, obviously excited."Yeah, I heard that too. And this time, the Alpha Rogue decided to join. And you know, this will be the first time for them to join the coming-of-age ceremony after a long feud between us. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited. I heard most of the rogue males are freaking hot!” I heard a series of squealing after that. “I wish one of them would be my mate. They are freaking hot!”I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I walked away from them, avoiding any female members of my pack. Rogue wolves are said to be ancient. They were stronger and bigger than the Pack wolves. Years ago, ro
Kayah’s Point of ViewI was a wolfless. I do admit it. A year after I turned eighteen, I didn’t shift, instead, a painful tattoo showed on my left wrist and a voice that probably belonged to my wolf. It was like a glow-in-the-dark tattoo because it was invisible during the day and glowed green at night.Yeah, I know. Instead of a wolf, I freaking have a tattoo which I don’t even know what it means. I tried searching about the tattoo but I never found any explanation about it. And also my wolf’s voice shut her mouth about it. Today, my tattoo was partially painful. It felt like hundreds of needles piercing my skin one by one making it irritating. “Where’s my food, bitch?” I heard my mom’s shrieking voice echoing the whole house. Honestly, I couldn’t leave her if I wanted to but I didn’t at least not yet since I’m broke as hell. She’s my only family and it was not her fault that she became like that. Alcohol dependent. It was my father who ruined her. “Coming Mom!” I yelled at her to
The mating ball came to my mind again when I saw the gown. It was too beautiful for my eyes. I never saw such a gown in Eliza’s closet. I shook the thoughts away and tried to distract myself by scrubbing the Luna's house.I wanted to attend the ball, I wanted to know what it was like. Eliza had always said a lot of things about it whenever she returned and it fascinated me the most. I wanted a different life for myself and it wasn’t going to come if I stayed here being a punching bag and a salaryless maid.What if I had a mate? What if the Luna was wrong all along? What if I had someone waiting for me? Someone who is going to accept me just the way I am, with all of my flaws. What if that person won’t care about how broken or worthless I am and he would accept me all the same? A lot of what-ifs came to my mind, there was a chance that I had a mate out there who was just waiting for me. I heard that some wolves would rather grow old alone than choose someone else to mate with. What if
That night when I was about to fall asleep, a searing pain shot from the tattoo on my wrist, I bit into my arm to prevent myself from crying out. Mom would be furious if she heard me. The pain spread from my wrist to the rest of my body. Exaggerating pain shot my whole body when I heard something crack, the pain intensified to almost make me pass out.The cracking sound continued inside me as my body distorted into various weird angles, it was a hundred times more painful than I already experienced.Dots appeared in my vision as I closed my eyes but the pain kept me awake. I wanted it to stop but it only intensified and I dared not scream out or my mom would hit me till I was half dead. After a while of intense agony, it stopped. The fast the pain appeared was also the fast before it disappeared. My wolf was smiling at me in my head before darkness completely swallowed me.When I woke up the next morning, I recalled what had happened to me the previous night so I checked myself in a m

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
After coming to the conclusion that I would search for some answers about the secret of Luis and Six as soon as we got to the bar, I decided that I would use this time to snoop around the apartment. Since Six was now well into his shower I would have the freedom to do as I pleased and not have to worry about him catching me. I still felt a little guilty about taking the whole secret matter into my own hands but seeing as how Six wouldn’t tell me about her and given what happened the last time he didn’t tell me something important; it felt justified.The kitchen didn’t look too prosperous and the living room was pretty barren besides the couch, coffee table, and TV, so I started my search in a more personal place; his bedroom. Since Six was pretty occupied I felt no dire need to quit myself or be stealthy in any way, instead I just walked right on over to his bedroom door and opened it. My hand lingered on the door knob once it was opened and I stood in the door frame a moment longer t
“Kayah!” Six screamed at me while shaking my body back and forth on the couch. “Ayah, it’s just a dream. Wake up!”When my eyes landed on Six’s hard face and I instantly started screaming again but this time it was louder. The fear and distress was clear in my actions once I started scratching and kicking at him, trying my hardest to get him away from me. He’s trying to kill me. He’s trying to kill me. The thought just kept repeating itself over and over again in my head until I believed that he really was.“Get away from me.” I screamed at him.I could see the confusion and pain that started to play behind his green eyes but none of it registered to me because in my mind I was still living my nightmare. I managed to get him to loosen his hold on one of my arms and knocked him in the jaw with my elbow. The hit didn’t even faze him. Six brought my arms in between our bodies before wrapping his own arms around my back and holding on tightly. I screamed and squirmed against him, trying d
Or at least that is what I tried to do but my feet weren’t taking me anywhere. My legs were moving across the ground as fast as they could but the monster was still behind me and the scenery wasn’t changing. I could feel the last shred of sanity slowly slip away as fear pumped its way into my veins. What was going on?I glanced over my shoulder and realized that the monster was no longer there. Instead of a tall black creepy shadow there was something much worse. It was her. She was dressed in all black besides the small silver moon amulet that she wore around her neck, symbolizing her goddesshood. As if she knew that I was staring at it she instantly raised her hand up and grasped it in her fist. From there my eyes traveled up from her neck to her cold black eyes and I was instantly filled with a feeling of dread. What was he going to do to me?Her dark laugh filled the night air as she slowly made his way over to me. Once she reached me she did something odd. She kneeled down beside
Luis’ scent was all over me. I didn’t notice it until I was safely tucked away in Six’s apartment but as soon as I did I felt disgusted. The thought of having Luis’ scent on my skin made me feel vile and tainted all at the same time, it made me sick. What was even more horrifying was the fact that it hadn’t even been me who had noticed the stench, it was Maryan.I felt absolutely mortified when she pointed it out. How could I, a werewolf with an acute sense of smell, have not noticed it? Sure I could blame it on the fact that I had been out in public and the smell was masked because of the city but to not notice it when I reached Six’s apartment was just wrong.Everything from the couch in the living room to the closet in his bedroom smelt of clover and wood, it was Six’s scent, and now here I was tainting it.After I started throwing a fuss about the way I smelt Maryan thankfully knew what to do about it. She stayed long enough to show me how to use Six’s rainmaker, or shower as she
