I sunk on the chair. I couldn't eat anymore as my appetite disappeared.
"Killian, where are you? Find me, please!" I whispered with the hope that my brother could hear it. I felt helpless, so I cried without care whether someone would listen to or see me.After a few minutes, I made a decision. I will not take the offer Reule had given. Instead, I would choose to surrender to Conri. I wanted to see if my brother was still alive and waiting for me there. And hope that I could convince Conri of just banishing us both instead of killing us.I stood and pushed the chair. I rushed back upstairs, wanting to find Reule. I went to the room where I slept but did not find him.I walked to the hall and heard the voices of two people talking. I went to the third room from the room where I came from. The door was left slightly ajar, so I peep into the small opening.There I saw Reule talking to a lady. I could not see her face as it was her back facing the door. But she is blonde and slim. As I was standing there, I overheard their conversation."Tell me, Alpha Reule, what it would take to convince you to take me as your mate?" the blonde lady said.I was surprised to hear it. I could not believe how a lady could beg for him to be his mate. What is there to like about him? When he was just a plain opportunist and an asshole."Lila, I told you it doesn't work that way. I wanted to feel something before I claimed someone as my mate. It is a lifetime commitment," Reule said.I wanted to scream when I heard that. Why was Reule asking me to be his mate when he doesn't even feel anything except lust? What is he planning to do with me then? But I remained quiet. I don't want to get into more trouble than I already have."Didn't you feel anything whenever we are mating? Because as for me, it feels so great. I wanted to keep doing it with you all the time whenever I am on heat.""Oh, Lila! You are indeed great to mate with. I love doing it with you," Reule said with a grin.I feel so disgusted with him. But all the more, I feel so angry with this lady that I want to slap her for being stupid. How can she not see that Reule is just playing with her? He is just horny and nothing more.She started undressing. Then tossed the blouse and the bra she was wearing. As she moved closer to Reule, her breast got fully exposed."That is good to hear. Reule I am actually in heat right now. I am just trying to control it. But I can't hold it much longer, and I can't be satisfied if it isn't you.""Lila, your big breast is always tempting and looking delicious.""I'd like you to get tempted all the time, especially now," Lila said, then gently caressed his balls.I wanted to go to Lila and asked her if she had lost her mind. How could she seduce this man who doesn't want anything with her? How could she give herself that easy?Lila kissed Reule. Reule's hands began caressing her breast until she moaned. Then her lips slowly parted his lips."So, tell me, Alpha Reule Conrad, can you help me ease my heat? Because I am already on fire right now.""Oh, fuck! Lila, you know I can't say no when a lady asks for help. I am too kind.""I know you are. And I can tell your manhood is also liking it. Hopefully, it will make you feel that I am deserving to be your mate.""Let's find out.""I'd like that."Lila turned and headed to the bed. Reule followed and went on top of her. He began licking her breast as his hands were caressing her legs.I could not bear to watch them, so I turned around and strolled back towards my room. It is not that I have never mated, but I feel disgusted watching and hearing those two. I closed the door gently and locked myself inside.After five minutes, I heard the giggling of a woman next door."What!? They moved," I said, holding myself not to shout.I could hear the bed squeaking as if an earthquake was shaking it like crazy. Lila is moaning loudly and breathing heavily."Aaahhh!" They cried as they reached the peak of their orgasm.I covered my ears because it was too annoying to hear. I know some people like to watch and listen to porn, but I am not one of them.When I felt like they finished, I removed my hands from my ears. I heard them start talking."Why did we move here, Alpha Reule? Do you like the bed here? It's noisy," Lila asked."You were the one that is noisy with your whimpering and moaning," Reule teased."I can't help it. It was quite intense.""I'm glad you are satisfied. It was my pleasure to help you when you are in heat.""But I am not fully satisfied.""You want another round?"Lila laughed and said, "Wouldn't you mark me so I can be fully yours?""Lila, I already told you. It doesn't work like that.""Then, why do you always fuck me when I am in heat.""Because your body is asking for it. I am just giving what it wanted.""You are so cruel! Don't you know that? But anyway, I am not entirely giving up. I am so sure that one day you will see that I am the right one for you."And they laughed at each other.They are both crazy. I don't want to be like Lila. I am definitely going back to my pack and finding my brother. I will not be a sex slave of any man. They can just kill me instead.After 30 minutes, I stopped hearing their voices. They must have fallen asleep, or they left. I don't care.My body felt itchy, and I smelled terrible. It has been six days straight that I have not taken a shower. I went to the toilet, and I got tempted to take a bath. But what will I wear? All I have is this cardigan and jeans that are slightly torn and have holes in them.I saw a white bathrobe inside. I touched the fabric, and it's so soft. I thought I would sleep on it. But then I thought of Reule. What if he comes inside while I am sleeping? No. I can't sleep with just a bathrobe on.I went out of the toilet and just noticed that change of bedsheets. Even the comforter is not the same color as what I saw after I left to eat earlier. I have not seen a maid, but probably Reule has.I scanned the room, and it's enormous, well designed, and comfy. I was not able to do it earlier when I woke up. And only see the beauty of the room just now.I was about to si
I woke up because I could feel the rays of the sun on my face. I did not open the window last night, so how come? I tried to open my eyes, and when it did, I was startled. I saw a shirtless man standing beside the window, looking at me.I almost jumped in fear. Reule was standing there, and his stormy gray eyes felt like he was undressing me on his head."Oh, sorry! I did not mean to wake you this way. I don't want the food to be cold, and it's already ten in the morning," Reule reasoned."You did not learn how to knock?" I said, annoyed at what he did."I did. I tried knocking thrice and left when you did not open. But on the fourth time, I decided to open the door. You sleep like a dead person.""Sorry! I must have not fully recovered from exhaustion.""I thought of that, too. How is your head?""It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you!""Good! I will just grab a shirt, but please come down to eat.""Okay, I will."Reule walked out of t
By around 04:45 PM, Nana Lolita started preparing for the barbecue and bonfire later. I saw her cutting and marinating almost all kinds of meat – pork, beef, and chicken. I helped her do it, and it was fun. It makes me miss my mom."Why the sad face, senorita?" Nana Lolita said.I forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, Nana Lolita. What should we do after?" I replied."A face like that doesn't mean nothing. Are you missing your family?"I paused and said, "Yes, I do. But I don't think I will see my family again.""Why?""My mom and dad are both dead. My brother, I don't know if he is alive. He asked me to run to save myself while he tried to fight ten members of my pack. I don't think he will survive, though I am still hoping.""Oh! You poor soul! Those who tried to harm you are a disgrace of our kind. They should be ashamed of themselves. I wanted to hug you, but my hands are dirty.""That's okay, Nana Lolita. I feel better now."
Nana Lolita took the initiative to introduce me to almost every lady of the pack. But except Lila, who did not like to be bothered while she was in a corner using her phone."What do you usually do during the evening run?" I asked."Well, Alpha Reule leads the run, and he split the group into two. He gives direction where each group goes, and we have to thoroughly check the entire forest and the area near where we lived for threats or anything unusual. Then we go back here and discuss what we have found. We have to tell the alpha anything, even something stupid, as long as it makes us doubt. For Reule, this is how we can protect each other from any threat and prepare for any enemy," Adriana explained."Has it happened that indeed you found something unusual?""Yes. It was during this time that humans had heard rumors about us. We have found some hunters in the forest, possibly thinking of catching one of us.""Were they successful?""No. Alpha Reule sto
One by one, the boys have put back their shirts. Reule started the bonfire and told everyone to gather around it to discuss what they had found."So, boys, what have we found today? Anything out of the ordinary?" Reule asked."So far, Reule on my group, we have not found anything," a cute curly guy answered."Excellent! Thank you, Jax! From the group that I lead, we also haven't found anything out of the ordinary. But this doesn't mean that everyone must be complacent, especially with the safety of the pack. We must always be alert and prepared. Can I take everyone's word that you will all do that?""Yes, Alpha Reule!""Good! I am proud of you always for sticking together and keeping the safety of the entire pack as a priority. Now, let's go, eat and have fun."Everyone cheered with joy, and suddenly music played from somewhere. It now appears that they are having a party. And it makes me feel like this is what the pack is waiting for tonight, to eat an
One of the men suddenly came in front of Adriana and me. He was shirtless and good-looking. "Madam, Wren, may I have this dance with you?" he asked with a smile. And the song Careless Whisper suddenly played. It made me feel awkward. I wanted to decline him without offending him."Gideon, you are married. I saw your wife just went to the toilet. Why won't you wait for her to come back and dance Careless Whisper with her? I think it will be appropriate. Leave senorita, Wren, alone," Adriana said."Oh! Adriana, why did you tell her that I am married? Now, I lost my chance with her," Gideon said but laughed."My friend, stop fooling around. Don't make Katana upset and bite you later. You know how aggressive she can be when jealous.""Yeah! I better watch out. See you, then."Adriana was shaking and laughing when Gideon left. "That guy still acts like he is a bachelor. It drives Katana crazy.""I could understand that for a wife. I was about to tell h
"Oh, wow!" Gia cried and whistled after Reule removed his clothes. He is now only wearing his underwear."Do you like what you see?" Reule said."Oh my god! Alpha Reule I have slept with ten werewolves, but you have the best body among all of them. No wonder that so many she-wolves are going crazy at you.""Well, I have to. How will I attract women if I have an ugly body?""Good point! Now, let's stop talking, and let me enjoy.""Come and get it."I was so annoyed. "What is this? I am like hearing porn every day. It's okay if I am enjoying it, but I am not. I am just feeling disgusted, and I cannot even complain," I said silently.I guess you would know by now, and I can hear the squeaking of the bed, the moaning, and the whimpering again. I covered my head with a pillow, trying not to listen to these two lustful creatures enjoying sex.After what seemed to be forever, I finally heard them climaxing. I tried to sleep, but they were talking, an
"Take a shower and get dressed," Reule ordered."Why?" I asked."Why do you always ask questions?""Of course, I have to, so I know what will happen and where I am going. Isn't that obvious?""I will take you back.""Oh, okay.""Why do you look so sad? Earlier, you were too confident about going back to your old pack."It made me feel annoyed that I was shouting when I was saying, "Yes, I want to go back. But you are confusing me with what you want to do. Just a few minutes ago, you said you don't want to be Conri's delivery guy; now you change your mind."Reule was quiet and looking so serious."Why are you looking at me like that?""I was right. You don't want to go back. You are just in denial. Anyway, I have not changed my mind. I was testing you, and I think I have got the answer. I will not hand you to Conri that easy; that would not be fun. But you have to take a shower and get dressed. We are going somewhere.""You are s
A few hours ago...Reule’s heart hammered with worry as to where Wren was. She had been missing for almost a day, and his patience was running out. He didn’t like the silence in Yannis’s quarters, nor the way his warlock friend seemed torn, as though holding something back. Reule could sense the tension that radiated from Yannis.Reule went to Yannis to gather some information. “Yannis,” he demanded, his voice taut. “If there’s anything you know, anything at all that could lead us to Wren, I need to hear it now. Her life could depend on it.”Yannis’s gaze flickered, hesitating. Then, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a deep regret reflected in his expression. “Reule… I do know something. Two hours ago I had a premonition,” he said, barely a whisper.Reule took a step forward, his fists clenched, every muscle in his body tense. “Then why didn’t you come to me sooner?”Yannis looked away, his face shadowed by a mixture of guilt and reluctance. “Because… it
Lila returned to the Gray Pack, and her face was full of concern and worry. Her heart raced, but her demeanor remained calm. As she was nearing the house she and her brother shared, she could feel some of the pack member's eyes on her. Some were wary, while others were hopeful. The news of Wren’s disappearance had spread like wildfire, and the entire pack was on edge.“Lila!” a voice called from behind.Lila turned and found Reule striding toward her. He had that hard expression, sharp eyes, and oozing with the Alpha power and authority.“Did you hear about Wren?”Lila forced her brow to furrow and her voice to speak in surprise.“No, what happened?”“She’s gone. Disappeared without a trace," Reule said with a tight voice filled with worry and anger.Lila gasped, and her hand covered her mouth.“That’s terrible! How could this happen?”Reule didn't answer. He studied her, his gaze penetrating, making Lila feel almost exposed. But she quickly masked her unease by stepping closer to hi
After being yanked out of the river, Wren felt her world was a chaotic blur of cold water and darkness. She gasped for air while coughing up water, and her body shuddered. The water was cold as ice.Suddenly, her arm was gripped by a rough hand, pulling her out into the muddy bank. But her vision seemed unclear. She couldn't tell whether what she was seeing was real.Acwulf stood over her and blocked the little light filtered through the trees. Her eyes gleamed, and his face marked triumph and a predator's satisfaction. He finally caught his prey and was now ready to be devoured.“You’ll regret this,” Wren rasped. Her throat was raw from inhaling water, but Acwulf only smirked. She was like a ragdoll, almost lifeless and barely able to stand. Wren knew she couldn't fight him but tried so hard to hide the fear.Acwulf crouched down with his face inches from Wren. His mouth smelled a mixture of smoke and alcohol, a scent that made her stomach twist.“Regret?” he chuckled. “Darling, I
There was no point in hiding, so Lila came out. She smiled at Wren and said, "Hello! I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were some boys. I was about to take a swim."Wren's confusion slowly disappeared. She was somehow satisfied with Lila's explanation. Only a few knew about this river and could scare you with a little bit of sound or rattle of the leaves behind the bushes. But she didn't smile at Lila and just turned around."Bitch!" Lila whispered.The soft trickle of water filled the air as Wren knelt by the riverbank. Her hands skimmed the cool surface. Her reflection wavered in the ripples, but she barely noticed it. She closed her eyes, focusing on the rhythm of the stream, hoping it might help chase away the lingering fatigue that clung to her. The fever had left her weakened. Lila remarked that a walk to the river would help her recovery, but Wren wasn't sure.“You’re looking better already,” Lila said from behind her, her voice faking to be cheerful.Wren opened her
Lila stood by the large window inside an abandoned cabin a few meters away from her pack's territory. She stared at the sprawling woods bordering the Gray Pack’s territory. The fading sunlight streamed through the trees. It cast long, twisted shadows that seemed to stretch toward her. Her fingers drummed against the window frame, the rhythmic tap-tap-tap echoing the beat of her own racing heart. She was nervous like hell.It was almost time.Her mind buzzed with the plan. Every detail was etched into her thoughts like a brand. She had been turning it over and over in her head, refining it, making sure it was perfect. She couldn't afford to make mistakes if she didn't want to die.Acwulf’s words from their meeting still echoed in her ears: “I won’t fail.” She had taken a risk by allying with him, a man whose reputation sent shivers through even the bravest wolves. But desperation had pushed her, and there was no turning back now. This was more than just getting rid of Wren. This was a
Acwulf hated drawing attention, actually almost every member of the Black Pack. It's one of their strengths that they were taught to attack an enemy without them even knowing. And so, wherever they go, they try not to be noticeable as much as possible.Right now, Acwulf moved like a shadow through the narrow alleyways of the marketplace. The hood of his cloak was pulled so low that it almost covered his face. The cacophony of traders shouting their wares, the scent of fresh bread mingling with the musk of leather, did nothing to soothe the turmoil brewing inside him. His mind was consumed with one thought: Wren.He tightened his grip on the worn leather strap of his satchel. Although the Black Pack is well-known, robbers are still unintimidated. Some would still attempt to rob them, thinking any member of the Black Pack would be stupid enough to let them. But Acwulf was not among the stupid ones, he carried his money with care. He didn’t even care about the bustling streets or the cur
The engine's sound died as gravel crunched beneath Yannis' boots when he stepped off his motorcycle. He instantly noticed the heavy silence enveloping the Gray Pack’s territory, broken only by the rustle of the wind through pine trees. The Gray Pack had always been a second home to him, it's where he could let his guard down, especially his funny moments with Reule. Yannis' gaze swept over the dense forest that circled the territory. As a warlock, his senses could easily pick up the subtle change of the place's atmosphere. He had been here, maybe five years ago. And as far as he could remember, it should not be this quiet. Yannis adjusted the strap of his black leather jacket and made his way to the big gate. He smirked because he could feel sharp eyes watching him from the shadows. The Gray Pack was known for its wariness toward outsiders, as they were very protective of what was theirs. They couldn't help it as they were one of the smallest packs, but because of their Alpha and th
Conri was left sitting alone in the eerie silence of his dining hall. Outside the house, the rain was pouring loudly while the wind angrily smashed into the trees. The simple rain turned into a storm that grew stronger by the minute. It added to why Conri's hands trembled as he poured his favorite bourbon into his glass.The momentary relief of Acwulf’s departure was quickly replaced by a gnawing anxiety that dug deep into his bones. The tension in his chest hadn’t eased, and Conri could still feel the weight of Acwulf’s cold gaze on him like a noose tightening around his neck.He downed the expensive bourbon in one gulp, and the whiskey burned, but it only soothed his nerves a little. It didn't remove all his worry because Conri’s mind raced. It replayed every word of their conversation, every subtle shift in Acwulf’s demeanor. Had he made the right decision? Would the information hold up? Or had he just signed his death warrant?The wind rattled the window, and the loud sound of the
Meanwhile, at the White Pack territory...The sound of thunder was angry as the heavy rain poured non-stop. At the same time, the wet leaves danced aggressively with the blow of the wind. But Acwulf barely noticed the storm beyond the walls of Conri’s house. The storm inside him was louder and more dangerous.Acwulf pushed the door to the dining hall without even bothering that a guard was standing outside. He didn't care. He knew the entire White Pack was afraid of the Black Pack members. He intimidated them by just merely looking. Conri’s dining hall was not as big compared to Acwulf's Alpha's house. However, the design was more welcoming and full of vintage paintings. It was no secret that Conri's father was a fan of art and vintage items. And Acwulf wondered if Conri was the same or a total opposite.The stale scent of old whiskey and a newly cooked turkey filled his nostrils. It made Acwulf's stomach growl a little. He just realized that he hadn't had food since morning. His des
