Miimii’s POV“Hey, look here,” I used my palms to tilt his head that’d been hanging low in shame toward me in one swift gesture.“I want you to listen to me, and to so very carefully” His eyes didn't meet mine still but I knew that I’d soon rid him of the guilt he felt.“Can you do that for me Reid?” I asked again.“Hmm?” He muttered almost unintelligible.“Listen good?” I replied and he nodded slowly as though he was scared of what my next words would be.Didn't he read meaning into my affectionate gesture of holding up his face? This was why our communication had always had hiccups, he read more into things that mattered much less.“Every single thing I told you the last time you’d confessed that you were too burdened with sin to be good enough for me still stands,” I paused for a bit and allowed what I’d said to sink in.As I’d expected, his eyes rose to meet mine finally. Even though they looked hesitant and heavy laden, I knew that as I spoke more and reassured him, they’d lighte
Fleki’s POVAn overwhelming surge of emotion that I couldn't wrap my head around enveloped me whenever my mind drifted to Lustre of late. I’d been running from emotions all my life, I’d avoided it like it was the origin of the fucking plague, I’d sworn myself off anything that’d make way for emotions such as this, I’d put every single damned wall high up just to avoid emotions like this.So how? When? Where? Did all of these emotions that now threatened to ruin me manage to emerge from? I had no clue what the answer to any of those questions were but they’d been weighing on me heavily for the longest time and I’d felt the need to address them once and for all. While It’d be a fucking huge lie to out rightly state that I hated them, there's one thing I was certain of when it came to them.They scared me.I’d gone against the most powerful werwolves in all of Silvercrest and beyond, I’d gone horn to horn with monsters of the wild that giants would cower at the sight of, I’d basked in t
Fleki’s POVAfter I’d enjoyed a refreshing bathe moments following the completion of my evening training session, I’d decided that it seemed like a lovely day to take a walk around hell’s hall because I couldn't remember when last I’d indulged in that after how incredibly chaotic the last month had turned out to be.I pulled on a casual shirt and I pulled on a pair of simple pants before I ruffled my wet hair and slicked it to the side as I usually did when I felt too lazy to comb through the tight little curls that formed after a cold shower. In no time, I was ready to head out for a refreshing walk, and I hoped that it’d be exactly what I needed to clear my head.I stepped out of my chambers and I decided to walk toward the gardens where I could bask in the welcome feeling of being amongst nature. Even though it was unlike me, I hummed lowly on my way there and I even waved at maids and guards as they bowed while I walked through the hallways when normally I’d just ignore them or sh
Fleki’s POV“Sit, breathe...” I moved Reid to take a seat at my study desk by holding onto his shoulders.Immediately he’d taken his seat, I turned to Lustre and signaled her to leave the room while he drew in sharp breaths. The minute she’d shut the door behind her I turned back to face Reid who looked a bit more level headed.“It's happening, a fucking coup. I've just been notified of a meeting that's been held with all the alphas in Silvercrest in attendance....” He trailed off as he waited for me to figure it out.“All the Alphas, except me. And I'm damn sure it's not coincidence” I began to feel heavily agitated as realization dawned on me.“No, they're still convinced that we're the odd ones out because our pack is made up of rogues and lone wolves that have no business being in Silvercrest” Reid confirmed my exacts thoughts as he spoke.“Those fucking spineless assholes! How dare they!” I cleared everything off of my table in one angry swipe as my anger exploded within me.“The
Fleki’s POVI sized the unfortunate bastard that’d dared to stand in my way while I was blinded with an inexplicable rage.I’d have expected a more becoming and appropriate attitude from a flimsy excuse of an Alpha that’d been on the receiving end of my anger once, not this thoughtless gesture of standing my path when I could crush a thousand men with the anger that pulsed through me.What the fuck was his unremarkable name again? “Luca, just let him go. It's enough” An elder identified the irritating man before me on cue and sought to pacify him for some reason. “You heard him, get out of my way this instant” I barked at him as my chest rose and fell in an unrhythmic pattern as I struggled to keep my anger at bay.“You think you're a fucking big shot because you built your pack from scratch?” He said instead of making any attempt to move.“I don’t think that I am, I'm the strongest Alpha any of you have ever been in the presence of,” I watched his one smug look turn into a tight fr
Lustre’s POVMy hands ran through Miimii’s soft brown strands of hair as I tilted her head to the aide gently and began another French braid as she yapped happily about the bundle.of flowers Reid had delivered to our chambers for her earlier that morning.“I mean. I've never seen these flowers before in the kingdom, they used to grow in my home town when I was a child and I loved them!” She gushed as she sniffed a rare pale purple flower she’d called a ‘Debbie’.“I’d never have pegged Reid as such a thoughtful man, you really did a number on him, I'm sure it was all you” I told her sincerely as I divided my focus between her and the braid.“Eh, we make each other so much better” She moved her head happily and shook my balance which slightly annoyed me.“I hope he'll accept you with a lopsided braid when you see him later since you can't sit right for a minute,” I steadied her head and picked up my pace in finishing the braid.Before she could get a defensive word out, we heard a knock
Luna’s POVFrom the day Alpha Fleki pursued me from his premises without regard for my emotions and treated me like commoner, the only thing that has propelled me to live through day after day was my unquenchable thirst for vengeance against him.A venomous fire burned within me and I was certain that the only thing that’d quench it would be when I finally succeeded in exerting my revenge against him once and for all. I’d invested so much valuable time and resources into ensuring that we’d end up together, and he’d barely put in any effort while I practically wiped the floor with my dignity and everything I had to offer in hopes that he’d realize how deserving I was of the position as lady of hell’s hall.But that fucking emotionless bastard had frustrated all of my efforts no matter what I’d done to remain by his side. I could admit that I’d been a fool to expect that I’d eventually win him over, but he was even bigger fool to think that I’d not double those efforts just to see him f
Fleki’s POVThe alarms in my head had been ringing in full swing for the days that followed after I’d picked a fight with Luca, despite that fact that he’d deserved every blow I’d thrown at him on that day. The spineless asshole might’ve been the one person I’d derived the most satisfaction from roughing up because he had a huge ego which his feeble strength didn't match when I was his opponent.Without a doubt, I didn't regret how I’d lunged at him and thrown the first blow, and even at my deathbed I wouldn't regret that I’d clearly made an attempt to kill him. If Reid hadn't stepped in exactly when he did, I’d have ripped his heart out in the seconds that followed and I’d still be reeling with contentment from taking his worthless life.Why then were the alarms going off in my head? As much as Luca was a silly excuse of a leader on his path, he was still recognized as an Alpha of the Silvercrest packs and protected by all the rights that came with that recognition— unlike me.
