Well, I’m going through that phase right now.
He kissed me. It is pretty hard to believe but it’s kind of obvious too. I mean not the reason why he kissed me but that he kissed me. I’m making no sense at all but I’m making sense too.
What’s going on with me? I’m being strangely funny.
No, no wait let me explain. See, I’m his mate so I expected that you know someday at some point he might try to because like you know I’m his mate. However, it’s just a little confusing that he really did kiss me because like…

Thump! A sting rushed through my fist as I punched the thick bark of the tree in front of me. Stubborn trees like Aurelia, didn’t even affect it! I kissed her because of that bastard to make a point. That is not how and why I wanted to give her a kiss from me. But it felt good. She moaned. A smirk appeared on my face. And I didn’t do even a tiny portion of what I can do to her. The things I want to do to her. It was a small kiss. I didn’t realize I was laughing. She’s pretty easy to please. My little babe! Axel was a little surprised when I made the move but I pulled back just the right second because he was going to get out of control. And her moan just encouraged him. Hell, it even encouraged me.

Stretching, I changed my side. Something was strangely familiar about my couch. It was more comfortable and I felt warmer than before. My eyes flickered open and I saw Asher lying next to me. His lips were slightly parted and the black blanket covered half his chest. The couch can’t take the both of us. I frowned at myself because that is the first thought that crossed my mind. Realization hit me; I was on his bed. Panic rose within me. How did I get here? When did I get here? I slept on the couch. I got up instantly, my heart pounding in my chest. I watched him sleep. He looked sexier. Is that even possible? He was entirely exposed. I wanted to touch his beard. It was a funny thing to do but I really wanted to feel his beard underneath my fingers. What the hell

Everything around me went quiet and still almost as if time stopped. No more swishing of the leaves or the wind. Even the birds stopped chirping and the squeaking sound of the squirrels coming before were now nowhere to be heard. Not a single sound was made! Gulping, I tried to keep my stance firm. All types of scenarios hit me all at once. He can kill me right here and now and I wouldn’t even see it coming. As if hearing my thoughts, he reassured me, “Don’t worry darling, I’m not here to kill you,” With a blink of an eye, from standing ten feet apart he was now just two feet away. I flinched back and goosebumps ran all over my body. “What do you want?” I managed to ask. “Let’s just say I missed you,” he gave me a smile but I was terrified out

With my mind still occupied with today’s events, I entered the room completely forgetting that Asher was inside. Making my way to the bathroom, I took off my hoodie and threw it on the couch. I felt a cold sting on my arms and chest. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand. I twisted the door knob but it didn’t open. Must be stuck, I thought. I tried again and luckily it opened. It was more like a touch than a hold and twist. The door opened by itself. It was Asher. He was inside with a towel wrapped around his torso. There was some space between us. Immediately, blood rushed to my cheeks and I flushed. His eyes were on me. I could feel them piercing through me as I took notice of his wet hair which hung roughly above his head. I lowered my gaze but it wasn’t helping since his chiseled body was really distra

Taking the stairs, I hopped down wearing a dark blue hoodie over dark blue jeans which hugged my thighs and legs along with white thick sole joggers. Five days went by with Asher and I not talking to each other. It was either a small nod or a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ and at the most, not more than five words, literally. Things were getting depressingly tedious for me. My routine was the same as always. Breakfasts were in the room or in the kitchen with Maya, sometimes alone; I was not a fan of lunches that leave dinner. Dinner was downstairs in the dining room, the huge room with just a table and its chairs. It had twenty seats in total. Asher always sat in the front single chair and mine was on his right hand side. Cole was beside me and Gray on his left. Sabine was beside Cole and then followed Maya whereas Felicia was beside Gray. That was how we were u

“Are you sure she is okay Cole?” I asked as she ran towards the woods. “Yeah, don’t worry about her,” he assured but I wasn’t satisfied by his answer. Something happened but I’ll leave it for now. “If you say so,” looking at the two guys I sighed, “Okay then, do your thing, I’m leaving,” “What thing?” Adrian frowned. I opened my mouth to speak but Cole interrupted, laughing, “She means training,” His mouth formed an ‘o’ before he gave a suggestion, “Why don’t you practice with us?” Cole looked at him. “I mean you should know how to fight,” he elaborated. “Yeah right. Fight who exactly?” I said, smiling weakly.

Taking in a hot sip of my coffee, I took a quick glance at everyone sitting at the table. They were all so focused into their own worlds. This was never the way with my family. We talked and laughed, we actually looked forward to having breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Anything that brought us to the table! It was exciting to talk about the littlest of things. But here, it’s like pack business, pack training or the upcoming ‘Winter Ball,’ otherwise nothing. Well Winter Ball sounds exhilarating to be honest. I hear Ball and I imagine a huge hall with formally dressed men in tuxedos or suits and women in dresses and wine and delectable food and the fresh aroma of enthusiasm and slow dancing. It’s quite…picturesque. Deciding to lighten up the boring atmosphere, I spoke up, taking everyone by surprise especially Asher, “Alpha Solomon, will your pack be joining us at the Winter Ball?”

“I’ll make things easier for you to get Asher,” it doesn’t have to be this way.Her face went from a smiley one to a serious one. “What do you mean?” her voice went rigid. She seemed interested, it’s working.Gulping, I forced the words out, “I’ll reject him as my mate,” nodding at myself after seeing her eyes go wide as saucers, I added, “I’ll reject him,” no, no don’t let the tears come out, dumbass.Boy, was I glad it was too dark too focus on my face.“Why will you do that?” she asked, demandingly.

So this was it. I was dying. This was my story!Before it could even start it ended. An ending caused by my foolishness and carelessness. An ending I brought upon myself which only added on to Asher’s misery.I couldn’t move, could not feel anything. I just felt cold, extremely cold. Derek pulled back.“That was the best I have ever had,”He pulled his hands back from me and I fell on this floor.All the time my eyes were on Asher. He broke free from them, or maybe they let him go.All I know was that he hugged me in his arms as he sat on the ground, picking me in his arms.“No, no, no” he cried, “Aurelia,” for the first time…and the last… I saw Asher Zane shed tears.It broke me.Even on the brink of death, seeing him cry because of me, complexly broke me.I love you Asher. I love you and I’m sorry I was unable to tell you this sooner. So many things left unsaid…I’m so sorry.His warm hand cupped my cheeks, “Stay with me Aurelia, stay with me,” he kissed my forehead.That brought me

Derek’s POV: Wearing my black shirt I left the room, shirt left unbuttoned as I walked through the empty hallways of the Palace. I had to meet the King. It was time we went forth with the plan. “What’s the hurry Derek?” King Luther slurred as he drank from the sixth human who lay topless on the table. The rest were lifelessly settled on the floor. King Luther wasn’t a fat grumpy King, no, he was smart and handsome even being six hundred years old. No spark was lost. That’s the beauty of a Vampire. Flawless beauty unlike those furry stinky animals! “It has to be done now,” “But you just paid them a visit,” he pointed out. “It’s almost a week now. They won’t be expecting a visit anytime soon which it makes it perfect. I’ll be extra discreet,” I smiled. He laughed and held a napkin in his hand. “Go, take whoever you need,” he wiped the blood that ran down his chin. I gave him a nod and left. I had to pay Lisa a visit first. Entering her room, I scanned it but she wasn’t there. An

Now with this new truth about me, a lot of questions were answered but I was still figuring out a way to tell Asher. How can I just drop the bomb on him? As absurd as it sounds it also seems impossible.There has to be a way in which I could prove it to him. Since he, or anyone for that matter, can’t see my mark, it only adds complication. It was understandable why Rufus was not in the favor of me just blubbering it all out to Asher.As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t. I could not go up to him and tell him that I was the last of the White Crescents, the royal pack which was wiped out thousands of years ago.Guess it would have to wait till I can train my body enough to bring out my wolf!It was mid-February so the land was covered in snow. As I breathed near the window mist formed on the glass. I traced out with my index finger, W, O, L, F.What would she be like? I know all White Crescents have white wolves with blue eyes. How big would she be? She has to be a ‘she’ right; I mean obv

Calming my rapid heartbeat, I prepared myself to have conversation with the purple eyed man. I had been thinking about conversing with him ever since our last interrupted chat in the bathroom yesterday. The reason why I was so edgy was unknown to me. He wasn’t an enemy, I was sure of that. In fact something was awfully familiar about him. He seemed like someone who would know answers about the white crescent mark I was on my chest. He said I wasn’t someone ordinary. What am I? Ah. It is exactly why I am being edgy. The horror of finding out who I am. Asher had gone out to patrol the borders. Everyone was busy after the recent attack. On guard! We had suffered a lot of casualties, many lives were lost and not just of our pack army, many people of the settlement also died, women and children. It was devastating to have witnessed them getting murdered in front of my very own eyes. I shook my thoughts and took a deep breath. As soon as I imagined those purple enigmatic eyes, I fel

Cold wind greeted my face as I ran in the white forest. It was freezing but I was only dressed in a white long frock, my hair hung loose over my shoulders. I wasn’t cold though, I was all warmed up. I knew that warmth. That emotion! Oh I knew it all too well. I was in heat. Turning around, my eyes searched the area hoping to find him but he was nowhere. With a rapid heartbeat I pressed my back against a tree and took slow breaths to relieve myself from my tortuous pain. I closed my eyes to think of something, anything that would get my mind off him. “Trying to hide from me?” his voice caught me off guard, my eyes sapped open. He was standing in front of me, amazement dancing no his face. “It’s funny how you think it would work, especially, when you’re aroused,” he whispered in my ear. “Don’t tease me Asher,” I whined, “You always do, it’s…it’s embarrassing,” He chuckled and apologized, “I just like to see you blush,” He started kissing me, his hands roaming over my body.

Derek’s POV: She lay beside me as her sleek arms wrapped around my naked chest. Both of us enveloped in our chain of thoughts lay still after hours of love making. “I don’t understand how father can even think that the Werewolf King will agree to marry me. Especially when he’s found his mate,” We have our ways and she knows it but it was pointless to answer so I stayed quiet. She did have a point. Hypothetically, even if he did agree, their marriage would be the definition of a failure. It was one story if they fell in love and married and blah blah but forcing them into marriage was plain out stupid. Does the King have something else in mind that he isn’t telling me? Is he plotting something behind my back? “He’ll be a prisoner here Lisa. He would be under your control completely. Use him…for whatever needs you have. I heard wolves are some hot creatures to have sex with,” I snuggled in her neck. She hummed and chuckled. “Heard or experienced?” she looked at me questioningly, “

Asher’s POV:Shutting the bedroom door, I stood outside for a minute to calm my crazy heartbeat. It’s funny how the mate bond can make you act. We were in the middle of a crisis, attacked by the Vampires, Aurelia was almost abducted by Derek, lots of my people were killed, brutally, we just got to know that Sabine has wolfsbane running in her blood, Jacob almost died. It’s a disaster!But I’m here. Standing outside my own room, battling my desires, my lust and my wolf so that I don’t take my mates honor when she’s in a drugged state.She is in her senses, Asher. Axel argued and I rolled my eyes.Stop being selfish Axel, she has been drugged. She may be in her senses but her body is reacting because of the substance that’s in her body. I’ll mate with her when she tells me, when she’s ready…and not given some sex drug. Pushing myself away I walked a

“Kill him!”“What? NO!” I tried to push past him but he grabbed my waist and pressed himself against me making me gasp. What the fuck? I almost moaned?!?!“Don’t worry, darling, while they dispose of him, I’ll give you the honor of feeling pure bliss,” he smiled.From behind him, I saw Jarvis making a run at him but before he could take even a leap, he was caught by three vampires, one landed on him gripping his neck into a fierce grip; one stood in front of him, hands on her hips as the third one bit his arm. Jarvis let out a howl, he was in pain. He was in so much pain and I didn’t realize I was shedding tears. “Please stop,” I begged Derek, I begged him like the weak pathetic and helpless human I am.“Shh,” he grabbed my face, cupping my cheeks and cooed as if I were a baby, “Don’t look at him, focus on me,”“Why are you doing this?” I mat

“Calm down Aurelia,” it said again. I shrieked, nearly tripping over the coffee table. Turning my head around, I stood frozen to the ground as I watched the purple eyes staring right back at me from the mirror. With a quick twist I looked behind me only to see nothing but when I saw back in the mirror they were still there. That tall lean man with a black hood hiding his face, nothing but the dark glow of his purple eyes was visible, a purplish black cloak wrapped around his body as he held onto a wooden stick, a purple gem placed at its head. A dark powerful aura surrounded him, something about him was sinister and that is why I always felt afraid when his eyes were on me. “What, what do you want from me?” my voice shook. “I want you to not be afraid,” he instructed and I took a big gulp. “Who are you?” I asked again. “I’m not here to hurt you Aurelia,” he assured. “How do you know me?” I asked hoping he might respond with a clear answer. A smile, a faint smile spread through h
