Eero’s perspectiveI looked at the door of my room. It felt like I saw someone standing in there, but when I went ahead to check it. There was no one. The hall is empty, and all the doors in the room next to mine are closed as well. I have lightly shaken my head and heaved a sigh out of relief. I only stopped looking around after I felt Alpha Claudius standing next to me. “What's the matter, Eero?” He asked me. He was eyeing the very same hall that I was inspecting earlier. I turned to him and shaken my head while my hand moves to close the door. “Nothing. It's just that I thought I saw someone standing near my door when we were talking, but there was no one.” Alpha Claudius gazes at the door, and then his eyes quickly found their way back to me. “Let me help you back in bed.” He offered me his arm that I was about to hold unto until I saw the playful smile on Beta Caspian, teasing us. He twisted his head towards his direction, and the Beta innocently raised his hands, telling th
Eero’s perspectiveLuna Vera playfully moved her eyebrow in excitement as she waited for me to say something to her, but her offer hasn't sunk on my head yet, and I am still processing it. “What do you think? I know that we are not exactly the perfect parents for you, but trust me, dear. Your father and I loved you.” Luna Vera held my hand to further add sincerity in her first appeal, but I can see through her. I know that she wants something from me in return. A familiar clacking of heels against the wooden floor of our kitchen made me turn to the arc door, the entrance, and exit of this part of the main house. My eyes were quick to notice that the dress Serra was wearing was the one I gifted to her on her birthday last year. “Sweetie, where did you get that dress? It looks good on you. It was my first time seeing that one.” Luna Vera commented that made me smile sarcastically. Now I am more curious to find out what it is that they want from me that they would do all of this jus
Claudius’ perspectiveI got up as soon as I felt that I was now all alone in bed after I tried searching for Eero with just my hand while my eyes were still closed earlier as I am still feeling asleep. Her room is just the sized of my walk-in closet. All it takes is a few turns of head to check out the entirety of this place. “Caspian!” He remained fast asleep, with drool flowing from her mouth. “Caspian! Wake up!” I yelled at him, but just like before. His body remained motionless. I grabbed the pillow behind me and threw it straight to his face. “Wake the fuck-up!” Caspian was still half asleep when he got up from the floor. He turned to the door with his fist all ready to square up with anyone who posted us threat, but there was none and upon realizing that. He scratched the back of his head, and then he turns to me. “Why would you wake me up like that, Alpha? I thought someone was attacking us, like on the verge of death,” Caspian whines before he sits back down on the floor
Eero’s perspectiveThe smile on Soleil's lip faded a bit after I put down the empty cup of the hot chocolate that she made for me earlier. “Are you going to leave now?” I moved my head once and smiled weakly at her. “As much as I want to stay, I am afraid I cannot. Alpha Claudius will be up any moment from now, and I am sure that he is looking for me." Soleil nodded her head at me. She plays with the handle of her cup while staring into me with those soulful eyes.“Stop staring at me like that.”“Like what?” She asked again. “As if this will be the last time that we see each other.” I felt a quick strike of pain etching in my chest. No one wanted to say the truth. The two of us wish to hold unto the false hope that a day will come, and we will still see each other. “But, you are not coming back here. Alpha Ameo and Luna Vera are not your real parents, and when Alpha Claudius finally set you free as his breeder…” “I will vanish to a place where no one knows me. A place where I am
Eero’s perspectiveAlpha Claudius wrapped his arm around my body to make sure that I was well protected before our body plunged to the depth of the sea. I was staring into his eyes. The worried look in his eyes was the last thing that I can remember, before everything went dark, and I felt the winter – like coldness of the sea.The sun was about to set when I slowly regained my consciousness. A harsh wave pushed me further to the shore. I slowly got up, feeling a little dizzy. I sat on the sand and clutched my head, hoping that things will stop spinning each time I looked at it. Before I could fully recover, Alpha Claudius and Caspian crossed on my mind. I immediately looked around, but I couldn't find them anywhere near me. Fear began to hammer my chest. I was worried that something bad might have happened to them. I looked on top of the cliff and found no one. Alpha Ameo and his men probably left us alone after they thought that we passed away from the fall. “Alpha Claudius! Be
Claudius’ perspectiveWith my eyes still closed, I can hear a familiar, soft and feminine voice calling my name. It was clear in her tone that she was crying. “Alpha, you can't leave me! Wake up! Your pack needs you! I need you!” she said with an evident desperation in her voice. I felt her lightly tapping my cheeks. When she stopped, I felt a tear drop down from her eyes and fell straight onto my cheeks. Eero! It was Eero's voice! She was the one holding me and sobbing. I opened my eyes. Our eyes met, and yet, my forehead knotted immediately. She looked pale, and her lips were quivering. Her hand felt cold too. Just when I was about to reach for her cheeks after I called her name, she flashed a smile out of relief. I saw her eyes close in slow motion. The next moment, she fell to the ground. “Eero!” I shouted at her. I got up from lying on her lap. It was my turn to have her head on my lap.“W-What happened to her? Why does she look like this? She feels cold!” I asked and info
Claudius’ perspective“That is what you need to do to save the breeder who had saved you from the brink of your death,” she said. “You must mark her. Officially claim her as yours.” The Moon Goddess when silent for a moment. It felt like her keen eyes were watching every expression that flashed through my eyes. “If you want to save her, you have to do that before sunrise.” “By marking her, I could no longer be with my true mate, right?” “Yes.” “You want me to give up my true mate?” “No. I am neither asking nor requiring you to give up your mate, Claudius. I am giving you options. You can make your own choice.” The Moon Goddess looked at me patiently as I got torn between the options. “You haven't found your true mate, am I right?” It felt like my tongue went numb, and I could no longer say anything to her. Yet I still needed to give an answer to her, so I chose to nod my head. “Very well. You can choose to save the woman that you are with now and make her your mate, or you can
Eero’s perspective“What do you mean? I am your mate now?” I stared at the Alpha's eyes. It was dark, and I couldn't seem to decipher the emotion behind his dark gazes… Was he mad? But why would he be mad at me? “You are my mate, as in you have my mark, Eero." It took everything in me to know that rolling my eyes in a situation like this would anger him. I remained patient even when my insides started to shake. “I know that I had your mark. I could still feel the pain from it in my neck. I am asking you why?” I had enough of waiting for him to open his lips and say something. Then I figured out that he would prefer to leave me and my question hanging. “If others, not just the Alphas, but if anyone heard that you've given your mark to a breeder, they would mock and make fun of you.” “Then I will kill them. Now that you have my mark, everyone in every pack must respect you the way they respect me. If they disrespect my mate in any way…” “What? You are going to kill them all?” “I
