LUSTREThe melody of Mimi's hums filled the room as I got ready for another evening with the Elder, Mimi's hums were always calming and she did it absentmindedly most of the time."What song is this, Mimi?" I asked softly she turned to face me with a smile."Oh, It's a traditional song for mating rituals from my pack." She explained and I nodded, no wonder it appealed to my wolf as well as myself."It's beautiful." My compliment made her smile grow bigger in seconds."Thank you." She responded and continued humming, this time she swayed to the rhythm as well.As soon as I'd gotten changed from the outfit I'd served dinner in that had little stains on it, I searched for my notepad where I'd written the short story I'd planned to read for the elder. On subsequent evenings, we'd stuck to reading her books and ancient tales of werewolf origins and the likes.However, the last evening I read to her, I playfully stated that I'd gotten a little weary of repeating ancient werewolf tales becau
FLEKIMy day had gotten busier and busier by the second, but I couldn't complain because I knew exactly how much workload would come with overtaking territories to build my own pack and I welcomed it.As I thought back to the very start of my day, I couldn't recall a time when I’d stepped out of my work chambers to get a breath of fresh air. Instead, I’d immediately buried myself in work after my morning training was completed and I wasn’t halfway done despite that.Once in a while, I glanced through a book the elder had given me and swore that I’d not lived until I’d read it. Funny enough, I finished the book within two days when she first gave me but when I returned it to her and provide a satisfying answer to the things she’d quizzed me on, she gave it back to me and asked that I read it with an open mind this time around.It's like she’d forgotten I wasn’t the same child she’d homeschooled and nurtured, but I gathered that I’d always be the little boy she groomed to her and I’d ma
Lustre’s POV I’d been having a rather pleasant day because I wasn't burdened without as much chorus es as the other maids, and like you’d expect, most of the maids detested me because I wasn’t being given as much duties as they’d had to shoulder but I wasn't one to give a fuck about how they regarded me. All my life, I've had to fight my way through every situation and so I took whatever opportunities were thrown way, especially if they’d make life easier for me. And in this case, Alpha Fleki’s fondness for me definitely made my life in hell’s hall a tad bit more tolerable by having way less duties than I should’ve so I welcomed it without caring what names the other maids called me. However, halfway through my day, a guard came to inform me that Alpha Fleki’s personal tailor would be arriving later in the evening and that I’d be sent for immediately he arrived so that I could get measured for the dress I’d wear to the ball as Alpha Fleki’s date. I wasn’t in the least bit excited t
REID"I'm going for a guard roll call to check on the guards on duty in the maid quarters" I informed my personal guard as I left my chambers and he bowed in acknowledgment.I liked to do roll calls without being accompanied by guards so that the guards on duty that had been slacking off wouldn't see me coming and return to their posts quickly to cover it up. But recently, one of the reasons why I enjoyed going on roll calls was because I'd somehow bump into Miimii or sense her."You ready to see her again?" I asked my wolf as I entered the maid quarters and he pranced within me eagerly which made a chuckle escape my lips at his show of childish joy."Hell, yeah. I wish we could be with her all the time, don't you?" He questioned me fondly."Well, it's too bad that's not possible." I simply replied as I began observing the guards in their posts while I walked."You haven't even tried." He murmured and I ignored him, as I usually did when he brought up the topic of pursuing Miimii any
REIDMiimii was in trouble.And so was my entire fucking being, because I thought I'd explode with panic. My wolf's previous prancing had morphed into growling and planting death plots in my head, that I would've pushed away on a normal day, but I welcomed"We have to find her, now!" My wolf's growl came as a command as he spoke within me."No doubt," I responded because he'd spoken both our minds by saying so anyway."—And, we're killing whoever it is that has hurt her the second we find them" He added, and the vengeance he felt as he said so ran through my veins as well."Let's find her first, but that's definitely on the table" As for me, I just needed to know that she was out of harm's way first.Immediately it'd registered in my head that the shrill cry for help I'd heard was Miimii's voice, I knew exactly what I had to do.So I eagerly heightened my senses so that I'd follow her scent to find the direction where it'd come from, even without being prompted by my wolf. I was fucki
REIDFuck!The moment I heard the thudding sound of Miimii's fragile body hitting the floor, I'd immediately come off my high horse of fury as I realized what I'd just done. While I was in a fit of rage, I'd forgotten the exact reason why I couldn't pursue Miimii and I'd equally proven that I was absolutely right to have stayed away from her since she arrived.The fact that my dark soul would scar hers, as innocent and beautiful as it seemed to be.But with my wolf's blinding rage in full effect, I could barely tell my thoughts apart and all I'd wanted to do was punish the men that had hurt her without taking anything else in consideration. However, in doing so, I'd managed to scar her innocence more by subjecting her to raw violence.I mean, I'd ripped out the hearts of two men in a swift motion that could've only been that accurate because I've had years of practice to perfect it owing to the number of hearts I'd ripped out before their next heartbeat.Knowing how a sight as disturb
Miimii’s POVThe complete darkness that had engulfed my mind after my body went limp with the shock it’d experienced began to fade away and give way to light slowly. And as the darkness faded away further, I began to feel my body move to get accustomed to the environment I was in, but to no avail.I felt the softest silk sheets my skin had ever touched rubbing against my back and the surface I was on felt so comfortable that I could swear it was made from the pure wool of a thousand sheep. I tried to adjust further and rest a bit because my head still hurt a bit from the fall I’d experienced, but the foreign feeling of extreme comfort bugged me more than I thought it would.In no time I was rubbing my eyes slowly and trying to adjust to the lighting of the room as I opened my eyes gently and eased into it. The first thing I noticed was the strong back of a man that wasn't facing me and how his arms flexed brilliantly as he kind of struggled to fold something.I didn't know why, but I
Miimii’s POVI walked down the hallway that led to the maid's quarter with a certain spin to my walking steps and I tried without any success to conceal the immense feeling of excitement I felt. My legs couldn't hold my body and my mind couldn't contain how overwhelmingly happy I’d been feeling since I left Reid’s room.My nerves had almost gotten the better of me when he first asked because I’d immediately thought of bolting when he’d asked me to be his date to the ball. But like he’d seemed to be doing the entire time that we were together, he’d predicted the hesitation I felt and assured me that it was okay to reject his offer.While he might’ve been correct about my hesitation, he was absolutely wrong to have assumed that I’d turn his handsome ass down.“Curse words, he said just one and he’s rubbing off on you already?” My wolf teases me while trying to hide how hard her tail was wagging from the same excitement I felt concerning being Reid’s date to the ball.“Shhh, you absolute
