For the rest of the night I was continuously looking over my shoulder at February, knowing that her threat was not to be taken lightly. The deadly blonde, if given the opportunity, would kill me in a heartbeat. Even though I was petrified of the woman I could understand her hatred towards me. If I had fought the woman over the leadership of the pack and won then she probably wouldn’t have it out for me, but since Six had just unfairly come in and claimed me their leader she now felt jibed.I watched February carefully as she poured another draft beer, her blonde curls bounced gracefully with her every movement, and her warm laugh carried across the bar. When she turned to drop off the drink she caught my stare. Her smile grew into what appeared to be genuine but the malice and rage in her eyes gave her away. I sneered at the woman to keep up my dominant front but on the inside I was shaking with fear. If I’m already trembling with February, what much more of Lunar and Sabrina? I look
The chair screeched out from under him as Six stood up. I watched him curiously as he pulled out a brown pocket and then dropped a few scraps of green paper down on the table. Before he could pull me away from the table I leaned over and looked at the papers. They had these really weird designs of them and a face in the middle of the circle. I moved forwards a little bit more and sniffed the paper. Automatically after that I jerked my head back and covered my delicate nose.“What is that?” I questioned halfheartedly.He reached down and grabbed ahold of my wrist then tugged me up out of the chair. “It’s money.”I glared back at the paper with disgust. “It smells nasty.”“That’s because it has been in a lot of different places.”I could feel his warm hard hand slide down towards mine and without even thinking about it I laced our fingers together. His frown deepened slightly when he looked down at our joined hands. Instinctively I lowered my chin down towards my chest but tightened
Six crossed his arms over his chest and shrugged his shoulders in reply.She sighed dramatically before turning her attention back on me and smiling. “Well that’s my husband for you.”“Your husband?”The woman's expression turned into one of surprise before she smacked her palm against her forehead. “Oh geez where are my manners? My name is Maryan Angelie but my friends call me Mary, I’m Red’s wife.”I jerked back from her in surprise. The woman frowned at my reaction and took a hesitant step forward but stopped when I shook my head at her. “But Red’s a human.” She cocked her head to the side and stared at me with a question expression. “and you’re a wolf.”“Oh not this crap again.” Maryan’s smile returned before she rolled her eyes at me while laughing. “Res is my chosen mate and before you ask, yes werewolves especially rogues can mate with humans and no, he doesn’t know that werewolves exist.” She pursed her long delicate arms onto her hips as the mind blowing information she ha
By the time we left Fang’s bar and grill it was close to midnight. The streets of the busy city were nearly empty leaving the place to look somewhat abandoned with quiet alleyways and paper ridden floors. The night had turned into its regular chilling atmosphere but with a little more bit to the night breeze than normal. The cold had my bare skin puckering with bumps but I didn’t really feel it since I was still thinking about Maryan. Was it really such a good idea to leave a woman alone in a bar in the state she was in? I was still fairly new to the human world and what not but it just went against my fur as a beast to leave her in there like that.“If it will make you stop worrying, I’ll ask Red to bring her over to my place tomorrow before we go to work. You can see for yourself that she is fine and you can hang out with her while I’m gone.” His voice rumbled in the cool night air.I stared blankly down at the grayish cracked sidewalk. “What do you mean by work?”Six didn’t even
A chill ran up the length of my spin and along the skin on my body at the sound of his name. My hands spread out across my bare arms and started to rub the frozen skin. How was it that just by hearing his name I felt scared all over again? Was it because I knew that he was going to take my life or just because his cold black eyes were filled with so much pent up rage? It is like seeing someone under Lunar’s power.I jumped when Six’s big warm hand touched my chin. He stared into my scared wide eyes for a moment as if he was silently debating on whether or not I had shivered because I was cold or scared. As he thought about it his calloused thumb rubbed mindlessly from my chin to my lower lip. I shivered again only this time it wasn’t because I was cold or scared but because of the warm tingling sensation that he awakened underneath my skin with his soft caresses. I whined slowly before nuzzling my head into his hand until he was cupping it. His warm hard fingers spread against my cool
I could feel the vibrations from Six’s growl through my fingertips since they were lying carelessly on top of his chest. His sudden flash of anger didn’t faze me though and I even went so far as to tuck my head back under his chin while the warm rumbles continued. Six’s arm, that was lazily holding me against him, tightened until my chest was pressed up against his side. My heart rate spiked at the feel of his hard warm side pressing into me, making me purr quietly with both pleasure and adoration.“I thought we were done discussing this Ayah.” His rough voice held a hint of aggravation to it.Six had told me earlier that he had to get up early in the morning to go to work with Red and I assumed that meant that he wanted this conversation to stop so that he could get some rest, but the question had been nagging me ever since February had thrown herself against him.I felt myself sigh against his thick neck and slowly let my eyes flutter open. “No, you neglected to answer me the first
When I woke up the next morning I was alone in his bed. I instantly shot up and looked around for any sign of Six but judging by how cold his side of the bed was I knew that he was long gone. The sheets on his side of the bed were still tangled from when he had gotten out of it and his pillow was carefully pressed against my side so that I wouldn’t notice his absence while asleep. Remembering what had happened the last time I had woken up like this I quickly scrambled out of my bed with my stomach growling.What kind of food would Six have prepared for me today? I wondered curiously, Maybe more of those sausages or eggs.My jump onto the floor was quieted by the carpet and I couldn’t help but smile at that. With predatory instinct pumping through my veins I stalked over to the door and slowly whisked it open so that I could take in the smell of Six’s freshly cooked meal. When I opened the door however and eagerly sniffed the air I was met with no sort of fabulous flavors and instead I
Six stepped out from behind me and grabbed a jacket that was hanging on the kitchen table. “If you’re done screwing around now Red, we’d better get going.”Red let out a childish groan before sobering up and planting an endearing kiss on Maryan’s forehead. “I’ll see you later babe.”She bobbed her head slowly in a nod then watched him lovingly as he walked out of the room with Six on his heels. Six turned back around in the frame of the apartment door and looked directly back at me. His blue eyes held my attention so completely that I almost forgot how to breathe. Then without saying a single word he shut the door behind him.I felt a little heartbroken that he hadn’t left me with any endearing words but then I realized that he probably had none to give. I turned my attention over to Maryan who was still staring at the door that her husband had just walked through. Her woodsy brown eyes were filled with such longing that it almost broke my own heart.How wonderful it must be to be m
“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’
The man with tousled brown hair and piercing forest-green eyes spoke from across the room. Though he didn’t raise his voice, his imposing presence made it feel like he was right beside me, shouting.“What did I say about talking back?” he growled, beginning to close the distance between us. Before he could get far, the second man extended an arm, halting him with a sharp, warning glance. He muttered something too quiet to catch, then slowly started toward me instead. His long black hair framed a pale, severe face, and his deep blue eyes locked onto mine with unsettling calm.“I suggest you listen to him, Kayah.” I winced hearing my name leave his lips. “You should understand something, we’ve planned this carefully. Your little help is gone, and no one will help you, let alone save you from your impending doom. No one’s coming for you. Which makes this very convenient for us. She told us that no one will care enough to look at you.”Now kneeling in front of me, he leaned in, grabbed m
As soon as the scream escaped my lips I knew that all hope was lost. “I heard her! This way!” With no other choice I stood up and ran out of the horrible room and I didn’t stop to look where I was going. I only looked up long enough to see the front door I had come through a foot away when strong and rough arms snatched my waist. I screamed once again as the arms took me away from my escape and hauled me to the room at the end of the hall. I fought and kicked with all my strength, grabbing and clawing whatever I could get my hands on. With each futile attempt the arms only grew tighter around me. A door was opened and I was shoved into the room I once heard the voices arguing from.With a gasp I took in the gruesome and horrifying scene in front of me.I landed head first after being thrown into the room. I gawked at the scene of terrors that lay in front of me. In front of me was a still and lifeless body. The last of the body's blood puddled around the girl as it leaked from the m
I woke up and felt everything was odd. The room was unusually quiet, so eerie.“Rache?” I called her name but no one was answering. Where the hell is she? I asked myself. I got up, made myself a coffee when I stopped my mug mid-air. Amidst the scent of coffee hitting my nose, I smell something but a scent. It was so strong that it actually overpowered the coffee’s scent. It was them. Damn it. “Rachel!” I screamed but no one answered. I didn't wait for her to answer. I grabbed my phone and ran through the door, looking for a fire exit. Even if the scent was still a mile away, I knew they would eventually catch up with me. So I better run and call Rachel when I think I’m safe. My lungs ached with the force I was putting on them. I never really ran. I wasn't out of shape, but I definitely wasn't athletic. Okay, I’m used to running, but not as urgent as this. I ran when I needed to chase a prey but not the other way around. The closer I drew to my destination the more I couldn't hel
Defeated, I started the journey back to our apartment. I knew she would show up eventually, just like every other time she left.Letting my mind wander, I turned the corners while walking back to our rented house. I passed street sign after street sign, worn down building after worn down building. The town was old and dusty to say the least. As I walked, I planned out what I would do for the rest of the day. The only thing that kept me going now was that I had to find my son and take him back with me. Time seemed to fly while I thought about the reason why I was away from my pack and to Seven, and after about twenty minutes of breathing in smoke and dirt-filled air, I arrived at the door to the apartment building.The apartment buildings we lived in strongly represented a motel and were the cheapest housing options around. I didn't particularly like it, but it was all we needed so no one would suspect me.Sighing, I walked up the concrete steps and opened the wooden door, only to rev
My pack has decided to end everything and take back what they used to own, their dignity, they castle. Seven his real reclaimed the name and that the Moon Goddess has crossed the line. “I know it’ll be dangerous, but this is for our son. I want him and neither would I give you to her,” I said when I’m done telling him Hailey was actually Lunar and that she tricked him. Seven was speechless when he heard it but it didn’t change the fact that she has our child. Seven took the alpha position and talked to the pack mate, the rogues who had been in the human settlement howl, ready to reclaim the throne and their home. “Are you sure about this Red?” I asked her to utter a spell, a spell that would prevent Lunar from tricking Seven again. Now that Red has become apparent, he told us he was actually ex-deity and used to side with Lunar back then. He admitted Lunar was delusional and told us about her tale, about her falling in love with Fenrir only to break her heart in the process. He
“Babe listen we-”“Kellan!’ I screamed.I searched the area. Nothing. No more scent trail. No sounds. Just that burning circle and silence.“Kellan!” I shouted again into the night. My voice echoed, bouncing back empty.I fell to my knees.My baby was gone. And not even the wind could tell me where.I pressed my hand to the grass where he’d been taken. It was still warm.My fingers tingle..Then, I heard something.A whisper. Soft. Like a breeze.“Kayah…”I looked up. The trees shifted slightly.Then it stopped.Six didn’t hear it. Only me.“Bitch,” I said and she just laughed. “You couldn’t have that’s you took me son?”No answer.I heard a chuckle like the bitch was amused. “You so Hailey,” Lunar said. “I don’t care about whatever image you took,” I said. “Seven and I had a history.”I swallowed hard. “Maybe it’s time for you to tell him about her.”“Shut up!” I screamed. “Ayah,” Six whispered. “Let's go back.”We returned to Maryan’s.Red was still breathing. Barely. His chest
I groaned. My arm reached out, fumbling across the floor until my fingers found the buzzing phone.The screen glowed in the dark.Maryan.I sat up straight. My heart was already racing.No one called at this hour unless it was bad.I answered. “Hello?”Her voice cracked. “Kayah… he’s gone.”“What?” My voice came out sharp, shaking. “Who?”“Kellan. They—they took him. I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop them. Red tried, he’s..he’s bleeding, bad.”My chest went tight. My hands started shaking.“Where are you?”“At my house. Hurry.”I didn’t waste a second.“Six! Get up!” I shouted, already pulling on pants and boots.He groaned. “Wh—what?”“They took our son.”That woke him up.He didn’t ask anything else. He was up, dressed, and running after me into the night.We drove to Maryan’s house. We needed to stay calm. Think. But I could feel the wolf under my skin. Angry. Pacing. Ready to rip the world apart.The night air was cold. Stars blinked above. The moon hid behind clouds.My feet hit the
