Dominic took Valencia’s face in his hands and his lips came crashing down on hers. He wasn’t even aware of his movements anymore, of when he had removed his hand from her waist and of when he had moved it up her cheeks.
If Valencia had been confused earlier, now she was just too shocked. Dominic’s soft lips held hers, kissing gently, nibbling at hers and the alpha shivered. Dominic was handsome with his green eyes, tall muscular build, and that charm that could make even the hardest person crack under it, but Valencia had been aloof to him.
And that was what had made him crave her, want her. There had been many girls willing to throw themselves at him, but they had never interested him. He had always wanted just one girl, Valencia.
And, he was kissing her!
Dominic’s lips were slow, hesitant at first unsure of what to do or if he could proceed or not. So, he looked at Valencia whose eyes had grown wide as saucers but then slowly closed. Tak
Valencia was sleeping on the bed once again and Dominic was pacing around nervously. Freyge and a couple of other werewolves were around too. He wasn’t sure what had happened, they had been kissing passionately, at least he had been, and suddenly she had limply fallen on him. Dominic had grown worried and placed her on the bed, tucking her under the sheets and adjusting her dress. His heart had been threatening to jump out of his throat earlier, but now he was scared witless. Had he done something to her? Was he the reason she had slumped again? Questions raked his mind but he had no answer to it and nobody to turn to for a solution to. What would he tell the others? I had been kissing the archon alpha when she suddenly fell unconscious? He continued his nervous pacing and his eyes kept flitting to her face. Fine lines of worry had appeared on his forehead but he could do nothing save wait for her to wake up. Freyge looke
ll three of them reached the bedroom Valencia had been sleeping in less than a minute. As they had reached the corridor outside the room, Dominic saw everyone huddled together, far away from the bedroom. He looked at Freyge and signaled him to wait for a minute before he would call him inside. Adjusting his shirt, Dominic took a deep breath and turned the knob of the door. He had barely stepped inside and was pushing the door behind him when a white wolf pounced upon him, its teeth bared and inches from his face. Dominic wasn’t too flustered as he had somewhat expected this to happen given how he had stepped on broken china while placing his foot inside the room. The she-wolf had placed her paws on either side of the alpha, trapping him, and was growling at him menacingly. Dominic made no sudden movement but gently spoke, “Archon, this is alpha Castro, you know me very well, I bring no harm to you.” He had aimed to soothe her however his words
Valencia turned to look at him with a mixture of anger and surprise.Just how many things had he been hiding from her?Dominic didn't turn around but kept looking outside the window into the forest.“Are you sure that’s the case?” she asked him again.“I think I am about 90% sure that it is the case, otherwise things won't add up.”Valencia just looked at him in surprise. Had he been trying to hold it all together while she had been just focussed on the hycwens and dealing with her curse?She didn't need to ask him what was the case, he continued with that faraway look in his eyes.“When I had taken the kids to meet everyone, they had been greeted by everyone well. However, Mark seemed to have taken a particular interest in them. They were newly turned and scared and Mark seemed to treat them well. Hence, when I asked them if they would like to join a particular pack, they had chorused his name and
(Somewhere in the Burham mountains…) The next day the sun rose on the horizon but the sun rays couldn't reach the ground of the forest that was densely packed with tall trees that gave thick foliage. Plants struggled to shoot up to receive sunlight and the smell of soft grass spread through the air when a tall man stepped on it. He was being very slow and careful. His long silvery-white beard along with an equally pristine white robe was a stark contrast to the various shades of green and colorful flora everywhere around him. The man was probably a few thousand years old but barely looked to be seventy. There were fine wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes but save that his skin looked taut and firm. His eyes darted from left to right as he looked around searching for what he had come for. It had been his third attempt and his patience was beginning to wear off. The first two times he had let the intruder leave but not now. The robe swished in
Freyge had been sitting in his small apartment that had a lingering smell of various herbs and potions. It just had two rooms, one where he slept and ate and did everything else apart from concocting potions. Not many werewolves loved to brew, in fact, it was considered a laughable matter to do anything apart from learning to fight and become future alphas of the pack. Freyge was different, he had never liked fighting. From a young age, his father had taught him the importance of knowing the abundant flora around them. The forest was a treasure trove according to his father and not being able to identify the precious herbs and plants was an utter waste. He had been an ordinary human who adored his father, who had been a botanist. So it was only natural for him to take a liking to the field. Now, he sat in his small apartment in the other room, tinkering with the flasks and beakers creating various potions and concoctions. The book he had been ca
Both men turned around to see Lucy who got a little nervous to see them suddenly throw their gazes at her.While Dominic only continued to look at her curiously, Freyge’s face lit up as if a light bulb went off. Hastily, he ran across the table to the far corner of the rows of shelves and reached for a glass jar placed behind several other jars and vials. After retrieving the jar, Freyge looked at it happily and ran towards the beaker ignoring alpha Dominic's questioning stare.He added just a twig of the wolfsbane roots from the jar and stood behind. For a moment, nothing happened and Freyge’s smile began to droop.He turned around and spoke to Dominic, “I am sorry Alpha. I don’t think this would work. I-”As he was speaking, there was a loud pop sound that made him turn around again to look at the beaker. He slowly approached the beaker and sure enough, the black gooey liquid had turned into a crystal clear liquid.F
Valencia sat on her couch with her head in her hand. There was a headache she couldn't get rid of and it was trying to tear her apart.The last few days had been hectic for her while battling the stupid curse in addition to Trecdor and Mark’s hurtful betrayal. He had lunged at her, tried to kill her while scheming against Dominic.Then there was Sarah whom she still hadn’t talked to. A part of her feared that Sarah would again run away from her if she were to go and meet her.The archon alpha…Valencia Raskin is afraid of a three-year-old girl and her niece.She chuckled humorlessly.Though she had killed him, the fact that he had willfully turned a few youngsters into werewolves by biting them had been him going against the rules set by her and the Coven.She was getting restless sitting on the couch doing nothing. She had to let her wolf out and vent out the frustration. Thus, she wasted no further time and shot out
“Archon…Archon”Valencia’s mind was reeling. She held to the tree for support and leaned onto it. She was afraid that she was losing her mind. There had never been a day when she had been unsure of herself, but now, when her mind was beginning to play tricks on her, now she was beginning to doubt herself.“Archon…archon”The voices grew louder, persistent. It was her pack members, trying to get her attention. She took a moment to take a few deep breaths and calm herself. There was no way she could let them see her like this; afraid and confused.She clenched her hand into a fist and punched the tree, the tiny jolt of pain momentarily making her forget everything else. It helped because when her pack had arrived, she looked her usual self.Her gamma, Nathan had just reached her followed by the other members, Julie and Clark who were close on his heels.“Yes?”Valencia asked them w
