Quen showed up in his office at the exact moment he had anticipated, frustrated and angry at the command that he had issued to his men. "Bullshit, Blaze! You have done it again! Why did you order the men to get themselves ready and to gear up? What the hell are you up to this time?! We don't need to trouble ourselves for this. Won't you stop?""I told you several times, Quen, I am not going to stop until I find her. I need to find Snow, and that's what I am doing.""Damn! You have a lot more important things to focus on instead of focusing your time on finding her. I have already placed an order for some of our men to locate her, so this is no longer your job, Blaze. Your child needs you.""This is my job," he answered firmly. "I need to find her, or else I will die.""That's crap, and you know that!" His friend snarled at him."The only time I will stop looking for her will be when I obtain proof that I am, in fact, the father of Cleo's child. Until such time that the results of the t
"Eris, what do you think has taken place here since we were gone?" It was an inquiry that had been brought up more than once before, but his father nor Ryder never had anything to say, nor did they have the drive to give them the answers until now. "Aren't you wondering what's wrong and why the Alpha refuses to allow us to go home? I mean, I can't understand why we aren't allowed to return home and see the pack."The only thing Eris was able to say was, "I don't know as well, Snow."Like her, her wolf is curious as to why they are unable to return home, but unlike Snow, she is not inclined to keep asking for an explanation—especially if the Alpha is the one who is preventing them from doing so. Eris happens to be terrified of the Alpha, so she knows when to give up on finding out the answers that are being kept away from them."Aren't you dying to know what this is all about? It might be something big, and as warriors, we might be needed, Eris."Eris knows that she simply won't take ev
"Ahh! Fuck it! I'm wounded." Blaze's anguished growl resonated amid the crossfires, causing his troops to feel worried about him once again.Trying to do everything he could to drag Blaze away from the chaos, Quen stated, "Damn it! This is exactly what I was so concerned about. We're under attack again. Take cover and ensure the boss's safety." He mumbled, furious, "Damn, we're back in this hellhole again."He declared, "I am fine." He is doing his best to keep his men from getting distressed because of him again. He doesn't want to further add to the concern of his men. "I can still fight, but damn, try to locate who is ambushing us.""This is pointless, Blaze. We need to retreat, or we will all die in here.""No. We have to at least try to find her." "Bullshit! We can't find her here.""Boss, there seems to be a lot of growling surrounding us. We might have lost the ones firing at us, but we may be surrounded by wild animals like wolves or lions," shouted one of his men."Crap! Thos
This might have been the most detrimental action Eris and I have ever taken, but it doesn't matter because I know that I must do everything in my power to save my mate as soon as I hear him calling out to me. I cannot let anything happen to Blaze even though I am deeply hurt with all that has transpired between us.Yes, I still continue to think of him as my mate, despite my mind's denial that I still need him. In my heart, we still have that connection, and there is still a vague hope in me that that connection we have will never fade. I am honestly torn between him and Phoenix because I know that, although it is a faint one, I still have a bond between both of them.And I am as confused as probably Eris is right now. I distinctly recall feeling that unbearable pain in my chest, and recognizing that Blaze was in trouble, I, right away, began to take action even without thinking. It is a good thing that Eris was with me in all of this, and for once, I am thankful that my wolf is still
"That's her! I am sure that's her; even if I haven't seen her wolf yet, without a doubt, I know that it is her.""Alpha Phoenix, you may be mistaken.""No. I know what I felt, and I know what I am saying. That is her. That's Snow. Max is so sure about that scent as well. That pristine white wolf is my mate. Tank, you do believe me, right?""It's honestly hard to say if that is really Snow or not. I mean, why would she be there?""That wolf is Snow, and she is my fucking mate. However, I can't help but question why in the world she doesn't even seem to recognize me. And who the hell is that bastard who keeps calling out her name?" Phoenix is obviously incensed about what just happened, and everything that transpired is obviously driving his desire to kill someone, specifically that human who was being saved from his clutches by his mate."Alpha, we are not sure about that," Tank answered reluctantly. "I mean, we are not even sure about anything anymore. We are not even sure if Alpha Coh
Although it was not my original plan to bring Blaze and Quen to the house where Eris and I are staying, I don't have any other option as I find myself at a loss for what to do. I have to make sure that I heal my mate, who has been wounded, before I get rid of them. And on top of that, I need to make sure that the pack of wolves who ambushed them will no longer be a threat to them.He has been staring at me since earlier, and I am conscious of the fact that he has a lot of questions for me, but I'm not even sure if I'm prepared to give him the responses he was hoping for at this time. I may have revealed to him who I really am or what I really was, but I'm not sure if I can further explain my existence to him in more detail.There is a lot for me to consider before I tell him the story of my life other than what he already knows, that my fiancé cheated on me with my best friend, but I can't delve into that further, especially about the alliance between my and Phoenix's families.Clearin
"I don't know what has gotten into you, Snow, but I like it. I like this new you so much that this might actually be the first time that I have completely agreed with your decisions without a fuss." I could only roll my eyes upon hearing what Eris had to say.Of course, she would like the decision that I have made. Now that we are back in the human realm, my wolf is naturally happy that I was unable to restrain my desires for Blaze. The mate bond still exists between us, no matter how hard I try to end it. But to be perfectly honest, the mate bond may not have been the only reason why we are here with Blaze. I actually have no idea why I chose to be here instead of fixing the problem I created at the pack. Out of nowhere, I just felt the need to hear whatever he had to say."The fact that he referred to us as his mate—don't you even find that a bit surprising and amusing? Does that suggest that he is far more conscious of our identities than he is revealing? It may be because there ar
The one thing about this human in front of me that I am not ready to find out about involves the fact that he is a wolf, very much like the real me that I was trying so much to conceal from him. And what's even more shocking is the fact that he is saying it to me as if it wasn't a big deal; it was as if him being like me was the most natural thing in the world. It's as if wolves rule the world, not humans.I have absolutely no idea what drove him to make this kind of claim or to assert something that might be far from the truth just to appease me. And yes, maybe whatever he said may or may not be the truth, but either way, I'm not prepared for something like that, and it shook the hell out of me.As soon as those words left him, I found myself speechless and unable to even move in my place. My mind is overflowing with a lot of questions that I am not sure if I want to have answers for. I am shocked about everything, and the whys and hows are generating a lot of assumptions in my head t
"Ryder!""What? What do you want?""What? Are you out of your mind? Are you seriously addressing me that way? Is this exactly how you are expected to speak to me? Are you forgetting something around here? And really, are you using that tone of voice with me? I can banish you from here if I want to!"Ryder was compelled to change his stance and lower his head in obedience, and with a heave of his breath, he said, "Luna.""Luna, what, Ryder? What is so hard about it that you're finding it difficult to address me properly? Can't accept the fact that our lives are interchanged now?" Ryder can only grip his knuckles tightly, trying to control the irritation he is feeling. "I am waiting, Ryder."With another heave of his breath, he
Alpha Cohen is unable to determine how long he had been out of consciousness, but when he regained awareness, the first thing he came across was the knowledge that he was iron-chained to the walls. He is still feeling dizzy and lightheaded, so he is refraining from making any drastic moves.He is sure that whatever he is feeling at this point is an effect from the wolfsbane that has been injected into him. That poison might have been the cause of why he fell unconscious, but still it is fortunate for him that he was able to withstand the effects due to him being an alpha.The situation he is in is really difficult and dangerous, as he doesn't really know who to trust anymore. A lot of his pack members have turned against him and shifted to Ronan, and that is something that he can't understand why. He is furious about what is happening, but he is being careful a
"Alpha Phoenix, Luna Snow, I truly apologize for the disturbance that I am making right now, but there is something that you should know," Tank said apologetically. "There is someone who wants to see you."Phoenix and Snow are taking time off from their pack duties in order to have a special quiet moment together, as spending time with each other is essential for them to further nurture their bond, but the manner in which Tank spoke explicitly suggests that something critical has come up, and as the alpha and luna, they need to take time to listen to what he has to say and prioritize the pack."What is it, Tank? What's the matter?" Alpha Phoenix asks his beta. "Is something wrong? Who wanted to see us?""Alpha, Luna Sierra, and Beta Mark of the Black Knight Pack are here. They wanted to talk to you and Luna Snow."
Alpha Cohen has been continuously feeling giddy for quite a while now, but he has been trying to dismiss the negative thoughts and morbid scenes playing in his mind, even though that is so hard to do. Something just doesn't feel right for him, but he can't really pinpoint where his anxiousness is coming from.He and his beta, Mark, were just talking about how they could get far ahead of Ronan's schemes, so there is really no point in becoming uneasy at this point. He had already made plans with his beta on how they could derail Ronan's attacks, and it's even a good thing that Phoenix's father is still blissfully unaware that his daughter has returned and has officially become Phoenix's mate.Time is of the essence for all of them, so he is also aware that their big secret, that Snow and Phoenix are mates, will not be kept for so long, so they need to be prepare
"Did everything go well?" Alpha Cohen Saunders questioned Ryder as soon as the Black Knight pack's fighter arrived at his office. "Is Snow alright in there? Do we need to send in people from our pack to ensure my daughter's safety? I don't want to take any chances at all, Ryder. We must ensure Snow's safety at all costs.""No need to worry about anything at all, Alpha. Sky River Pack accepted Snow as their Luna wholeheartedly. She is doing alright and is, in fact, enjoying being welcomed by the whole pack. The festivity is still ongoing as we speak, and she seems to be enjoying every moment of it," Ryder stated. "Phoenix has been with her all throughout the announcement, ensuring that Snow is okay, so there is really nothing to be concerned about."Ryder recently returned from the Sky River Pack to make sure that Snow has had no issues with Phoenix's pack. When
"Luna, it's about time." As Phoenix called out these words to me, my heart started to pound hard in my chest. I felt somewhat anxious about what was about to happen next. And as if he's reading what was in my thoughts again, he said, "Hey, everything's going to be fine, my love," in a whisper, wrapping his arms around my waist and trailing his lips on my neck all the way through my mark. "They'll like you. Trust me that they won't have any violent reactions when they meet you.""I don't know. I don't want to feel this way, but I am really feeling a bit scared right now." And this is me forgetting that I am a warrior because I am admitting to myself and to my mate my fear at the moment. "What if they don't accept me as their luna?"My mate smiled at me as he caressed my cheeks in an attempt to pacify me. "They'll like you, Snow. And they've been excited to meet
The entire area was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping was likely to be overheard. There have been no words spoken, and all they can do is stare at one another in silence. All of them are in deep thought about the reality that was about to change everything for them.Everyone struggled to find the right words, uncertain about how to handle the situation as it was. Nobody expected the truth to be this way; nevertheless, it is, and no spoken words were sufficient to justify the emotions they are experiencing. Who would have thought that they would come face to face with this kind of truth? Quen and Blythe are not ready for anything like this.It had been several days since Blaze awoke from his coma, and after that, numerous procedures followed. It was necessary for them to know the boss's condition. After ensuring that he was already doing well and r
Snow gasped out to her wolf all of a sudden, "He's in pain and he's dying. I don't know what's happening to him." She has been feeling uneasy since earlier; she has even tried to disregard the negative thoughts that come with the fear that is building inside of her, but at this moment, she can no longer put it behind her because her sense of anxiety is becoming stronger over time. "We need to see him. We need to know what's happening."Even without speaking names, her wolf recognizes who she is making reference to. And Eris is adamant about agreeing with her, simply because she is aware it will get them into trouble again, not just with the pack, but especially with their alpha mate."I don't feel anything anymore, Snow; whatever attachment I used to have with him vanished after our alpha mate marked us." Eris is trying to break it to her gently that she won't
"Argh! Bullshit! Ouch! What the hell is this?" Blaze's tormented voice reverberated throughout the room. What could possibly be happening to him again? "Quen! Fuck it! I'm in so much pain!"He has no idea what is happening to him again; nevertheless, he feels as if he is about to die any minute now. But in this moment of distress, all he can think about is Snow, his mate. The pain he feels right now is far greater than the pain that he felt when Snow told him that he had been rejected. He doesn't want to think about it, but is this somewhat related to the woman he loves? Is what happening to him because of Snow again?"Quen! Blythe!" He cried out again. He requires help since he is gradually losing himself in the pit of darkness that is slowly engulfing him as an effect of his distress. "Help! Somebody help me!"He
