It's early in the morning, and Snow is trying her best not to wake anyone up in the house as she goes to the kitchen. Blaze and Quen left early that day, so she was left to herself. He promised, though, that he wouldn't be out too long and that he'd be back for breakfast, and that is the reason why she is planning to prepare a meal for him.Indeed, everything between her and Blaze changed. They spend more time together now than ever, as if her mate is terrified of losing her again. Well, with Cleo out of the picture, that won't be necessary anymore. She has taken her rightful place as his mate, and the only thing left for them is to complete the mating ritual and explain to his family and gang what they truly are."Gotcha!" A voice blurted out behind her. "I don't know where Blaze kept you or where you've been hiding the past few days, but that is over now."As she turned to face Blaze's sister, she could only shake her head and say, "I am not hiding from you or anyone else, Blythe. I
To say that Snow was taken aback to see Phoenix again after he rejected her would be considered an understatement. And if that was not enough of a surprise for her, seeing him in human territory is another big shock. But what was even more unexpected for her was when he introduced himself to Blythe as her fiancé.Is he out of his damn mind? How can he even consider himself her fiancé when he outright rejected her when he realized that she was his mate? A lot of questions are going on in her mind as she stares incredulously at the two men in front of her."What are you two doing here?" She asked in disbelief. She is doing her best to act nonchalant so she can prevent Blythe from asking questions, but her tone in questioning Phoenix was admittedly in utter shock."Fiancé? You are Snow's fiancé? Since when?" Blythe asked in a whisper more to herself than to their unexpected guests.Blythe, of course, had the same bewildered expression as her when they both heard Phoenix's introduction. Sn
If she had been taken aback by her ex-mate's sudden appearance in the human world, she is now completely dumbfounded by what she has heard him say to her. It seems that this man has a habit of shocking her each and every time they meet. The words he said kept repeating over and over in her head, and even her wolf popped up to rejoice in that declaration, despite the fact that she had previously accepted that they were already destined for their second chance mate, Blaze. She glared, letting Phoenix know that she had no intention of listening to whatever he was attempting to say. How can he change so dramatically after rejecting her? What actually happened between him and Maddie to make him want her this much after everything that he did to destroy her self-worth? What kind of game is he playing right now with her?"I have no intention of talking to you, Phoenix; just leave and let me be.""I am here to bring you back home with me. I need to tell you something. There are a lot of thin
Blaze finds it hard to believe what he's actually witnessing. He left Snow earlier because of some urgent matters that he needed to attend to, but when he came back, this scene was actually what made him seethe in anger. He cannot, for the life of him, let any man take what is his, but right at this moment that asshole is actually taking what is his.He had completely forgotten the need to wait for an explanation as soon as he saw the man's lips connect to Snow's. He wanted one thing, and that is to kill the asshole. With Quen behind him and getting ready to take action as well, he charged at the man and then delivered him the most powerful shove he could. "You will die, jerk!"Snow yelled back at him, "Blaze! Stop!" after which she attempted to block his way so he wouldn't get too close to the guy she was smooching with.He cried out all the more in anger, "Fuck this! Get out of the way, Snow! This jackass who has the boldness to be in my territory and even fucking lock lips with my w
Blaze's initial remarks after bringing Snow into his room have been, "What exactly in the hell was that? Who the hell does he think he is, and why the fucking hell are you kissing him?! And are you even real to stop me from killing that asshole?!"His impulses have become unrestrained after everything that he has witnessed. He doesn't fully understand what was happening, but all he knew was that he was losing his damn control and his mind because someone was taking ownership of what was supposed to be his.And he hates feeling this way. He hates the fact that his heart is aching like this. The primary explanation for why he never wanted to fall in love in the first place was basically because of this. Love is an intricate emotion that merely causes upheaval and confusion.He was better before because he never involved himself in this complication, but now his world is turned upside down. He should have learned from his parents' experience that falling in love will destroy him, but he c
And just like that, Snow was gone. Without saying anything further to him or giving any other explanations regarding her actions, she left him again. He did not want her to go, but he was powerless to do anything to stop her. He saw how determined she was in leaving, and because he eventually allowed her to go, especially to be with her original mate, Blaze despises himself even more.But can he really do something about that? He hates the fact that he doesn't know as much as he needs to about this fucking pack that she keeps on mentioning. He is even more agitated that even though he is a wolf, his level of understanding about what he truly is doesn't even come close for him to genuinely understand his kind. "Fuck it!" he grumbled viciously. ""He left me to be with him, and I just let them. This is bullshit! What a total moron am I!"Blythe and Quen are both unsure of what to do in this particular situation. Blaze is destroying everything he comes into contact with again due to the f
"We're here now, so maybe it's best for you to start talking as well, Phoenix. I need to have information about everything that you know about what's happening. And when I say everything, I mean every little thing that has been going on in my pack that I should know by now. Every piece of information that you are aware of that's been a concern to them, but my alpha won't tell me. And, please, I need you to be honest with me this time about what's wrong. I don't need you to save me from any bullshit there is.""Snow,""What really happened after I left, Phoenix? What took place between our fathers? And what's going on between you and your alpha aside from leading your pack to the point that you have to challenge him?"A lot of questions have been raised outright to him by Snow, even though they haven't fully settled
"I'm afraid to say it, Snow, but I'm starting to be convinced as well that he's telling the truth.""The truth about what? Don't be easily fooled again, Eris. We have to be smarter this time.""The truth about him being our mate; the truth about our mate bond with him. I can't even argue with the fact that he is right in claiming that from the moment we began spending time with him, it really appears as though our bond with him is getting stronger. I can even sense a connection with his wolf now, and I feel so distant with Blaze."Although Snow is reluctant to pay attention to it, even her wolf senses an evolving relationship between her and Phoenix, and that is something that she is trying so hard to fight. She also does not like these feelings that are starting to deter her from doing the things that she needs to
"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
