I didn't know if it was because Clyde didn't hear me, but he was still attempting to attack the wolf.I immediately pulled him back by holding his clothes, so he stopped. "That's someone I know," I said, stepping forward. "Alpha, what are you doing here?" I asked him with furrowed eyebrows.He didn't stop. He was still growling at us, and it made me confused. Perhaps he saw Clyde as a threat. "He's not a threat. He's my friend," I quickly made it known to him, but that did not stop him.He was going to pounce on me when Clyde pulled me back. "Are you crazy? Are you sure that's your friend?" He said, raising one eyebrow as he scanned my body for injuries. "Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you?""No, I don't think so," I said in surprise.The wolf was still growling at us and was attempting to move closer to us when Clyde picked me up.I caught a whiff of the scent of the wolf and realized that my delusions were taking over my mind completely. It was just another black wolf.He did n
By evening time I felt like I knew everyone in the entire village, and there was a gathering that they all said we should meet for together.There was no distraction, no problems. I got back to the bedroom and saw that Emily had dropped a new sack there.This time it was filled with clothes that fitted my size. I smiled at them, slliping one of them on. By now the moon was starting to show up.I left the cottage, since no one else was there, and decided to explore the rest of the village by myself, surrounded by a lot of trees. I never thought something like this would exist.I thought about the fact that my parents would have loved it here. That was all I wanted to have, my parents, my mate, and I, without having to deal with the regular hierarchy in our werewolf world.My wolf was within me, mourning the loss of our mate, and she was not talking to me, but I was fine. I knew that she would get over it, especially because I had gotten over it.I went towards a lake and sat there on t
Four years later.I could hear their giggling sounds, but I tried to ignore it.If I pretended like they were not there, they wouldn't say anything to wake me up. But it seemed they caught on because they immediately began to poke my clothes.“Mummy, mummy, wake up,” my son, Leo, called.I turned my head from both of them. “Mommy, please, I'm hungry,” my daughter, Leah whined.Giving up, I sat up in bed. I rubbed my eyes. My back was still hurting from last night's training and hunting. I just wanted nothing but to rest. My schedule for the day was cleared, and now Clyde had dumped them with me."Why don't you two go and meet Uncle Clyde and see if he has something for you?"They stared at me, their lips pouting."I heard he got you guys some chocolates from town."That did the trick for them, and they both left my side, hurrying to find their Uncle Clyde. I sighed in relief and rested my head back on the pillow, going straight to bed.The twins were the most hyperactive I had ever met
“Kira,” it wasn’t until he called my namethat I snapped out of my stupor. I saw disbelief in his eyes as he scanned my features, almost as if he thought he was in a dream. Clyde finally managed to catch up with me, his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Did you find them?" he asked, panting heavily. He looked between Damian and me, sensing something was wrong. I was still stuck to my feet, unable to process anything until Damian took a step forward, when I found my voice. "Stay away this instant," I raised my voice to unleash on him. I never thought I would see him in my life again. Everything was going on smoothly, and I had moved on from him, or at least I thought. But now that I was seeing him in front of me, I was not so sure anymore. My heart was beating so fast, and I didn’t know if it was because I was still in shock or the remnants of feelings I still had for him. "Kira, who’s this man?" Clyde tried to whisper in my ears. "Mommy!" Leah called, hiding behind
He didn't stop running until we were back in the woods. He finally sent me to my feet. With all the strength I had, I pushed him away from me. He was still much stronger than me, but at least it made him nudge a little. He raised one eyebrow, clearly surprised by my strength but closed the distance between us. "It is really you Kira.” He stared down at my face, not taking his eyes off me for even a second. He lowered his face, taking my chin in between his index finger and thumb, tilting my head a few times. This was it, my chance to let it all out, but instead, just the touch of his fingers on my chin was enough to send goosebumps coating all over my skin. “Do you know how long I had to search for you. You left the Kingdom without telling me.” He said and that did it for me, I shoved him away from me. “I left the Kingdom without telling you. Have you lost your mind." I raised my voice at him. All these years I've been training, and a part of me knew that it was because of him. I
For a moment, being pressed like this against his back made me forget all my pains and worries. I had almost forgotten the comfort that came with being in the King's embrace. I closed my eyes tightly. It was going to take a lot of self-control to not just sink into his hands and let out all my anger, crying against his chest. I didn't want him to let go of me ever, but I knew that I was going to relapse if I let this happen. I gently took his hands off of me. "Don't ever touch me like that," I said firmly. "The woman that you used to know, she's gone for good. I’m Valeria, now... And as you can see, my mate is probably looking for me. We don't want him to find you here.” I tried to sound as threatening as I could. “That lanky man?” He mocked, “ I would take him down in seconds." "That's not the point," I reminded him. "Just please stay away from my life and away from me." I turned to leave once more, but he stopped me again. "I'm not going to leave until you tell me that you no lon
Clyde stepped forward, blocking the men from interacting with me. "What does that have to do with us? You are lucky that you are able to come into our territory and go back with your limbs. Please leave.""I'm afraid we can't do that unless she tells us that she'll be there. It’s basically his dying wish. He's dying, and the only thing that he's been requesting is your presence," the guards told me.“You’re not in the right state of mind, get out of here!” Clyde threatened.Clyde opened his mouth to say something in response, but I put one hand up to halt him, crossing my arms across my chest. "You can leave. I'll be in the palace soon."They stared between each other, still in doubt. But then when I glared at them, they bowed their heads in reverence and turned to leave."That was good, great way to send them off, nice ploy.”“It’s not a ploy,” I told Clyde. “I’m going there.”“What are you doing? You can't go back there. You're done being a servant.""I'm not going there because he'
I started my journey by midnight. The route back to the palace was not familiar, but I knew that I was going to get my way.I hadn't left my hometown since coming here, and so as I walked through this path, memories began to flood from that night when I was stoned and kicked out. And the king did nothing to interfere.I clutched onto my bag, frowning deeply. I had so many people I wanted to see and how they were doing right now. I continued my way through the woods, not afraid of any creature of the night. I was undefeated I bumped into a rogue or two, but they were easy for me to take down. I had learnt to explore my strength by now, I finally got to the borders of the palace and took off the green cloak that I was wearing.The guards were hesitant to let me in at first until they saw my face.“Wait, I think she's the one the king requested for.” One of the guards pointed out. Another one stared at me with furrowed eyebrows. And proceeded to nod."Yes, I think so. We were there at
