Tana's POV

I dragged my feet through the thick forest covered with snow. Looking up, I stared at the sky as snow fell down gently. My gaze moved to the wilderness before me. My body was burning from the pain, and the pain shot deep within my body. I tried to fight it, but my attempt was futile, and slowly I fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

My heart felt like it was about to explode as it beat two times faster than it was supposed to. I tried to pull my weak body up into a standing position, but every time I tried, I fell back on the ground weakly. My vision became blurry and I finally resorted to crawling on the rocky ground, my knees bled from the continuously cutting from the rocks and branches.

If this was my punishment for my wrongdoings in my previous life, then I would willingly accept it unquestionably, but I promised not to let them win, Philip and Veronica would never get the satisfaction of hearing of my death in this cold wilderness.

I groaned again as I felt something weird, as if my insides were being twisted. I spat blood, and soon I belatedly realized it as I grew weaker. My wolf, phoenix, was slowly disconnecting from me.

"No," I said frantically. Not now when I was in the middle of nowhere. I was already completely weak and helpless, this would only gradually kill me. I finally pulled myself up, and tried to balance my feet. I felt weaker than before as my gaze darted around. I took a step further, determined to live through this no matter what.

Just then, I heard a growl from close by. I turned around, trying to search for the source. There was just something about the sound that made my skin crawl. I slowly stalked towards the direction of a giant tree and hid behind it. I heard a growl again, and this time I was sure it was coming closer. I peeped from behind the tree and saw two men…

Wait, I paused and trained my eyes. They were no men, and my eyes widened as realization hit me.

There were vampires and they were on a hunt. I froze, trying to digest everything before snapping out of my trance. I took a step back, in an attempt to flee from them, but I stepped on a branch and the sound grabbed their attention. They immediately snapped their eyes towards me. Their bloodshot eyes zeroed dangerously at the sight of me behind the tree.

Oh no, I had almost forgotten how sharp their hearings were. Their inhuman abilities were an advantage to them and the opposite to me, as they could easily catch up with me. The thoughts made me swallow in fear before I spontaneously turned around and ran to nowhere in particular.

I could hear them growling as they followed me. I gritted my teeth as I continued to fight through my pain, desperately trying to move my weak body that was nothing less than a human. My steps quickened with the only thought of survival running through my head. I prayed to the goddess to help me as I ran through trees, struggling to keep up with my fast pace.

I heart tightened in fear when I heard their footsteps getting closer. I occasionally fell on the ground, but would pick myself up every single time. After running for minutes, I started to give up. However, I forced myself as I ventured deeper into the wilderness. My pace slowed down, causing me to stumble on the branches. I closed my eyes gradually, willing to surrender to the black hole that drew me in.

Suddenly, the vampires stopped chasing after me and they spared themselves a look. "we can't go further. That's the HellGuards territory, and I'm sure Jackson wouldn't take it lightly." One of them reasoned to the other, and they shrieked with just the name, but they still stood there adamant to let me go.

"She'll make a fine dinner. We can't let her go just yet, and I doubt we'd encounter him today," the other encouraged, still reluctant to leave the fragile woman even though they were already in another territory.

"He is right. We can't go yet when we aren't sure. Let's end our hunt with her. We can't go back now when we've come this far," the second vampire chimed, and the other gladly obliged. They quickly rushed after me again, and soon they caught up with me.

The first one that grabbed me, pushed me against a tree, and I fell to the ground almost boneless. The other hastily reached for me as they surrounded me.

Just before they could capture me and make me their dinner, we heard a loud growl from a close distance. They froze midway in their attempt, their eyes searching frantically for the source."Did you hear that?" One of them asked while taking a step back, dreadfully. But after a moment of absolute silence, waiting for another sound, they finally concluded that it was definitely their figment of imagination caused by the fear that was growing within them after crossing the territory.

They turned their gaze and were about to carry on their act when something rushed through the wilderness in fast motion, making them blink in confusion. Suddenly, something jumped out from behind a tree.

A silver-gray wolf stood before us with a warning air around it.

The vampire's eyes widened, they tried to hide their visible fear but to no avail until. Nonetheless, they stood their ground.

I tried to keep my eyes open but they refused. I heard the vampires panicked as they stepped back cautiously.

I slowly opened my eyes and peeked through my lashes. I could hear loud growls as a fight broke. Screams, groans, and growls could be heard. I tried to pull myself away from the chaos in front of me. I leaned against a tree as I watched the fight.

They moved swiftly, and precisely, attacking them effortlessly. Until they became weak, the claws cut through their skin. The fangs dug into the throat of one of them, and the wolf took a big junk of flesh.

The other who witnessed this, moved back dreadfully in utter disbelief, watching as the other shook vigorously to death in his pool of blood. He quickly took out daggers to defend himself, no longer confident in his strength nor abilities.

The wolf growled as it stared sharply at the last surviving one. The wolf attacks again, knocking the knife away from one of them within seconds.

My gaze fell on the dagger that was thrown close to me. I sluggishly reached for it and stared at it before raising my hand up. I brought the dagger to my wrist and slit my wrist slowly, cutting through my veins. I winced a little from the pain.

The vampire paused in his attack, bringing his nose to the air, he sniffed and turned to me. The smell of blood caught his attention and distracted him. His eyes reddened upon sighting the droplets of blood from my wrist.

He rushed towards me, but the wolf already caught up with him. The distraction made it easier for the wolf to rip him apart with ease and within a minute, his lifeless bodies fell on the ground in a thud.

My eyes slowly shut close. The wolf turned to look at the fragile me while I leaned against the tree, I was completely weak as blood gushed out from my wrist. They walked towards me calmly.

I watched it walk closer until it stood right in front of me with a piercing gaze as it started deep into my eyes. I tried to crawl back weakly but I groaned in pain. The wolf leaned towards me and sniffed the wound.

They leaned down to lick the blood on my skin. He could see the visible marks and deep cuts on my skin. My wounds were bleeding, and my heart was beating slowly.

This felt weird because not only was I relaxing around the wolf but I also let the wolf slowly wipe the blood on my arm. Strangely I wasn't feeling any negative aura emanating from the wolf and instead I felt calm, almost as if I knew the wolf before.

The wolf paused when I groaned weakly in pain.

  • The rogue king is mine    How are you sure she died

    Jackson POV.I sat among the ranting crowd with a frown, feeling an immense pain in my head. It felt like the more I stayed here, the more the intense pain increased. I tried to strain my ears to know why they were ranting."So what we're saying is that this pack needs more protection. We're safe and the only advantage we have is the experience we've gained." One blurted out in sheer anger."I don't see any problem with what you say but what about the economy? I'm sure you've been paying close attention because if you were, then you'd know how fast the economy is dropping and how hard it has become for us to survive every passing day without much food." Another chimed."Why are you making it sound like everything is over. We're still doing our best and if the economy is dropping, then I'm sure the alpha can't really do much. It isn't as if you expect him to fight our neighboring pack and claim their place." Another reasoned, but everything suddenly became quiet as his last words seeme

    Tana's POV. I stirred in my sleep, feeling discomfort and pain. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. A frown settled on my face, seeing the unfamiliar ceilings. Slowly pushing myself up while biting my lower lip, I tried to fight the pain from my aching body. I groaned when I put too much pressure on my wrist. I sighed, lifting my hand to check the wound on my wrist, which I clearly remembered, given the fact that I inflicted that myself. There was a bandage on my wrist and every jury on my body was already dressed. How come? I wondered inwardly as I took my time, looking around the unfamiliar room. I swung my legs down the pain, trying to walk to the door, but I failed in my attempt. My legs were hurting with marks caused by my rocks. I slumped to the ground the moment I tried to balance my weight, and just then a knock resounded. Glancing up, I stared at the closed door that was suddenly pushed open and someone stepped in briefly. My eyes scanned the lady quickly,

  • The rogue king is mine    Go on a patrol around the hunting ground

    Jackson's POV.I scanned her length the moment she stepped into the room. Her eyes were down as she greeted, clearly unaware of the time of the day. She looked stunned when I corrected her. Her eyes snapped towards me, but she held her breath the moment our eyes met. I could feel a spark at the moment. Her mouth fell open in awe as she stared back.She quickly came out of her shock as she cleared her through, which confused me. Was she just in shock and didn't actually feel something?Because I could feel the strong connection with her and I noticed how close we stood, something she didn't realize even after looking around for a seat. I could barely take my eyes off her, but she could do it freely without any delay, which made me question everything. The unknown feelings I had towards her and the connection that only I could feel. Why was she the only one oblivious about it?After gesturing to a chair close to the table in my office, I walked around to sit in front of her.Caroline. H

  • The rogue king is mine    please don't leave me

    Caroline's POV.I frowned seeing the numerous bodies that lay dead on the floor with a little chance of them surviving, and the frown deepened on my face with just the thought of it. How could this happen to them? Who did this to them?My gaze searched the place, and suddenly, I stopped instinctively, smelling a particular scent that could only belong to one person. My heart sped up in fear as my gaze finally landed on a toy that looked oddly familiar. I remembered my father got me that when he was still alive.My legs instinctively moved towards it curiously until I reached it and leaned over, my heart sank, seeing the unrecognizable body of my mother.My legs trembled as I crouched down to inspect her face, but after looking further I became sure that it was my mother lying about the group of dead bodies.I covered my mouth in utter shock as I stared with a tearful gaze. "M-mum. What happened?" My voice broke while I slowly reached for her almost cold hand. I could barely believe it

  • The rogue king is mine    Tana is dead

    Jackson's POVSeeing her devastating state and how she cried over one of the dead bodies was disheartening. I walked over to her after inspecting the bodies carefully. I had a hunch that something was behind this. Kneeling on one knee, I drew her close into my arms, trying to comfort her, and she didn't object or try to pull away.I felt her body weaken in my arms as she went unconscious. I quickly carried her in a bridal style, but I paused when I felt someone walking towards me. The atmosphere became tense as my gaze searched for the course until they landed and the man walking towards me, who I recognized immediately with a glance.He looked furious, but what baffled me was the aura about him. I could sense something bad from him, and it made me alert as I watched him with a suspicious gaze. Someone was beside him and the person kept glancing around, noticing the dead bodies."What are you doing here?" I asked when he walked a bit closer.He narrowed his gaze at the lady in my arms

  • The rogue king is mine    can I hold you?

    Caroline's POVI blinked in surprise as I tried to absorb the shock that he knew Tana, but how? I knew I hadn't seen his face before, and I doubt he was from the middle forest too, so how then did he know of Tana? But what caught me off guard was the sadness on his face when he told him that she was dead and long gone.Besides to me, Tana was indeed dead, killed by those monsters and gone with my mother's spirit and the one left is the lingering spirit that was set to take revenge for the innocent side that was oblivious of the world around her. I would never make that mistake of being fooled by the people I trusted. I've learned from my pain and past.However, this man confused me with his sudden question. I tried to read his expression, but he turned his face to the other side. His attempt to hide his expression only baffled me further, and I stared at him with a perplexed expression.I lowered my gaze as I got buried in deep thoughts. It was just so confusing, and I could barely be

  • The rogue king is mine    Act like we're deeply in love

    Caroline's POV I groaned and stretched on the bed, my muscles strained as I stretched and yawned. I couldn't remember the last time I slept so well. I never thought I'd enjoy the mundane feeling it brought, but halfway through my stretching, I heard a voice from close by. "You must've enjoyed your night," a masculine voice made me jerk from the bed as I turned to the side, with an accusing look. Wondering what a man was doing in my room when my eyes met Jackson, who had a rueful smile on his lips as he stood beside where I sat on the bed. "W-what are you doing here?" I asked, instinctively pulling the sheets up to my chest as his scrutinizing gaze made me feel vulnerable. He crossed his hands over his chest as he tipped his head to the side. "What do you mean?" He asked with a slightly creased face. "Why are you in my room?" I snapped almost immediately and his face switched, and a muscle tickled on his jaw. I swallowed, thinking he was angry at my admission but was greatly stunn

She drew a sword from a sword and faced me, she had an expressionless face.Swinging the swords in the air and stood my ground, ready to play defense for a while before striking, and she took the bait. She instantly started attacking me mercilessly. I was surprised by her strength because I knew that she was just being gentle with me, and she was stronger. I tried to keep my stand as her attack became stronger as well, hitting harder without resting.After she was done attacking and having a hard time breathing, I took the opportunity to start attaching instead. She dodged each swing and kicked the sword from my hand. She was the only one holding the sword now, and she immediately swung into my direction but dodged the attack and went behind her, hitting her hand holding the sword, and it fell from her grip. There we stood without swords.She folded her fists and I did the same. This was the thrilling thing a

    Jackson's POV"What do you mean not yet?" She raised her brow."That's because you've been frowning whenever you see me, but surprisingly, you seem pleased when you're looking at someone else," I retorted."You can think whatever you want to think. I won't frown at you if you always wear a smile on your face often," she replied."Fine. I'll do that after you stop laughing at any random joke you hear," I said, turning away from her. She stared at me with a shocked expression."Wait, are you jealous ? Come to think of it, you've been on your period ever since Bruce started hanging around me. Is that probably why you're always bitter?" She asked to confirm, but I simply ignored her.She sighed, looking exhausted. "What on earth do you want from me?" She finally asked, looking defeated.Slowly I turned to look at her as I stalked closer, while she backed away, feeling alarmed by the sudden tension in the air. "What are you doing?" She asked, and her back hit

    Jackson's POVI could only sigh in defeat. I still didn't know how to tell him that I was having a hard time having a normal conversation with her. She was really too busy to care about sharing a moment with me, so how was I going to tell her about what was bothering me."I'll talk to her after dinner," I told him and just then I remembered that I had to eat dinner with her, but the excitement died the moment I remembered that Bruce would be there as well.My lips twitched in frustration before I excused myself and went to the dining room, but upon reaching there, I was stunned to hear the voices and laughter in the dining room. I found Caroline there already and Bruce was sitting closer to her with a smile. If only this boy wasn't from the pack, I would have kicked him out instantly."What took you so long?" She asked, noticing my presence."You had to speak with Liam," I said briefly, and she nodded with a convinced look. Soon we started eating, and w

    Jackson's POVI had been silently watching Caroline train every day and she seemed reluctant to give up, especially with her new determination to rescue her pack. I was just taken aback when she came to inform me about the letter she received. It was quite audaciously that someone would want to betray their back just to save their face."Alpha, there's something that you must know," Liam, my beta, said with a deep frown."What happened?" I drawled, not actually that interested in what he intended to say.He looked worried. "Bruce is following the Luna around, and he is even trying to get her attention. He also wanted to train with her. I think you need to do something about it. Although at first, it seemed like a harmless attempt since we believed that it might be infatuation. But don't you think he is taking it too far already?" Liam asked, seemingly worried about the situation.I had to admit that I was the least surprised about what he just said. At

He agreed to meet her but to be careful, he had agreed that the meeting spot should be in moon hunter territory, to which she agreed without hesitation.She wasn't concerned about the venue, just as long as she was willing to help her. Staring at herself through the mirror, she wore her cloak and finally stepped out of her room and headed to the agreed location.She stood there in his territory. The roses bush around her made her stay alert. Finally, she saw him coming towards her. His silhouette was the first thing she saw as he walked closer and stood in front of her."What a sudden visit.

I don't owe an explanation to why I am here and if you're here, then you also have your reasons for coming as well. Don't let it look like I am the only one here for the sole purpose of meeting and interacting with people." She snapped with a deep frown.The woman snorted indignantly. "Is it really just that, or do you have another motive?" She asked almost immediately, causing Veronica to take a step back with a perplexed expression."What are you doing about it?" She asked and Rechel laughed dryly, drawing more attention from the crowd as the onlookers watched with a deep frown settled in their faces, trying to comprehend what the women were talking about."You think I don't know about your trick and how you use a potion to attract them and get them to love you," she accused, causing a few people to gasp in shock.

She loved how the dress captured every curve of her body, and seemingly pleased by the sexiness she exuded. A knock came and she looked at the door."Get in," she ordered with a voice of authority, and the maid stepped in without delay. "what happened?" She asked, and the maid trembled slightly."The alpha said he wouldn't be joining you in the event, but you should extend his greetings to Marcus if you meet him at the event." She informed him. Veronica smiled at her ruefully, pleased by what she just heard."Good then you can leave…" she says hut suddenly turned to the lady, changing her mind. "Wait, what do you think about my dress? Do you think it fits the dress code?" she asked, and the maid looked at her, scanning her from head to toe. She saw how provocative the dress was with the deep cleavage and the slit at the side of the dress.

He passed it to me and I quickly moved closer to him."That's just a new detail of the data, but you can still understand a little from it. I know you can help with that, but I want you to get more acquainted with your role before pushing work on you. We can take things slowly," he stated."How do you feel, always having to deal with everything concerning the pack alone? I'm sure you also get exhausted and bored, so how do you keep doing it?"He chuckled. "I am the alpha and that is my responsibility. I knew that before getting this position. Thus I don't expect less or expect others to do the work for me when I could do it myself."So you don't actually feel sometimes suffocated with the toxic community and especially with depressing issues?" I wondered because I hadn't seen this man looking like he was tired or bored

  • The rogue king is mine    How did you become Luna

    Caroline's POVI almost scoffed at him. Was he expecting me to start blurting out secrets about the pack with just one encounter?"There's nothing to share about the pack, and if anything then I should be the one asking you about your pack. I heard you're the youngest and not the favorite," I drawled, and I could see a muscle tick on his jaw."Well many people have their opinion concerning that rumor," he quickly said in his defense."Oh, so it is a rumor," I beamed with raised brow. I was expecting him to tell from the tone of my voice that I wasn't really interested in whatever he wanted to say. I was solely here just to honor his invitation."Yes, I don't really think being the favorite actually matters too. I think what matters is the actual heir," the way he said it sounded wrong, as if he were thinking of something sinister."And you think you're the rightful heir? That's incredible, given that your brothers would probably go after the position as well," I stated the obvious.He

I stared at him patiently. "The truth is, I have a curse and I need my physical contact to escape that phase," he explained, startling me.I gulped deeply. "Wait, this physical contact, is there a specific person you must share it with? Like me probably?" I asked, but he was quiet.I parted my lips to ask again, but he finally replied. "my mate," he said, and I was shocked.He required his mate physically before he could go through his phase. He sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry to hear you're finding out this way," I raised my hand to stop him before rushing out.I had too many questions swirling through my head.
