“I had informed Alpha all about the May Day festival,” Nia whispered from the corner of her mouth, “he had mentioned that he will attend it but you really need to rush to his room now to help him.” I looked outside the kitchen window. Blue, pink hue had already covered the sky as the evening approached and the sun went down. Everyone was ready and excited for the May Day Event. I went to Alpha’s room, walked inside through the open door and closed it behind me. Alpha Alessio was already dressed up, to my surprise. “Alpha? Do you need any help?” I asked out of courtesy. He turned to face me. He was wearing casual clothes surprisingly. A black high collar t shirt with its sleeves scrunched up at his forearms, black jeans, a navy blue jacket on his arm that I suppose he was planning to wear over the t shirt. The dark colour was complimenting his skin and the hairstyle. Looking at him dressed like this, it was no wonder that so many girls could not stop talking about him. His gaze roa
A smile appeared on my lips as he placed the tiara carefully on my head, my heart almost stopping as I felt his touch on my ears. He moved closer to me, his head tilting slightly as he stared at me with a look of wonder on his face. I felt my own cheeks heat up, feeling slightly embarrassed as I stared at his lips, unable to look away. He brought his hand up and gently caressed my cheek, causing my heart to flutter and my breath to hitch in my throat. He slowly brought his other hand up, the one that was holding the tiara, and gently caressed my cheek as well, sending shivers down my spine. I felt a warmness inside me that I had never felt before for anyone. He brought me a tiara to make sure I don’t feel bad for not getting picked for the moon goddess image. I knew he had not found it lying around. It was impossible with the crowd that was surrounding us. My gaze went to his hands that lowered again on his sides, noticing a few small dots of blood appearing on his skin, most probab
Liam’s eyes slid from the top of my head to the sandals I wore and then back up to come rest on the things in my hands. His jaw clenched tight, his gaze slid up to meet mine. He did not say anything, but his anger was apparent with the way he stared at me. Alssio stayed beside me, his body stiff. The joyful look and aura had long disappeared replaced with unpleasant expressions. “Come with me.” Liam extended his hand in my direction, palm open. Alessio’s already stiff body went stock still. He turned his face in my direction, his face set in disapproval. “Mia?” Liam’s voice snatched my attention again. As I looked at him, the anger in his gaze had gotten mixed with a look of desperation, “I know you are upset. But for the sake of our years long friendship, can’t you give me a chance to even have a chat with you?” Alessio was still staring at me. He was quiet but I could literally see in his eyes that he did not want me to go. But when I looked at Liam, I could see the pain in his
I could feel eyes on me when I walked to school. Boys kept on turning around to look at me when I walked past them. A while later it had almost turned spooky. With my hands clenched on my arms, I hastily walked inside the classroom to take a seat. Thankfully, I had started to understand the subjects and topics so the classes became easier. Maths was still hard, but at least I was not lagging behind too much. As the class almost came to an end, the teacher announced, “There will be a group project now. Four people in each group. You need to create a creative model of our ongoing chapter.” The teacher started to pair up people according to students in each row. When it was my turn to stand up to form a group, I turned kind of shaky, worrying if anyone would even want to pair up with me or not as I was perhaps the weakest student in the classroom. “Mia’s group. If you want to be paired up with her, please raise your hands.” Unexpectedly several hands lifted up in the air, all of th
Another guard had rushed to stand next to Liam. Both of them grabbed Liam’s arms to drag him away. I could see the look of determination and hatred set in Liam’s eyes for Alessio. I knew he was about to do something disastrous. From what I had heard so far, one thing was clear that he already had a plan to throw Alessio off his seat. I was not sure how he was going to do that, but there was nothing impossible when there is a will. He took down a monster like Alpha Wyatt. He could take down Alessio as well. Should I tell Alessio about what Liam was about to do? As someone Liam had put a blind faith in, the guilt of betrayal would crush me. How can you betray your friend that you have known your whole life for someone that you only saw a few weeks ago? How can you let go of a relationship that you have been tied to your whole life for someone else who does not even care about you? I was in conflict. On one side it was Liam, on the other it was something that I should do for the sake
With a thudding heart, I paced back and forth in the corridor. I was scared. Terrified, in fact. I could not stop thinking about what Liam had said. I knew he was about to do something disastrous. He was going to harm Alessio. And I did not want him to harm Alessio, not because he was my ex-mate and my feelings for him still kept on rising, but because I genuinely thought he had not done something to deserve getting killed. Behind those snide remarks, smirks, taunts and comments, he did not take advantage of our weakness. He did snatch the alpha position from us after coming here, but his power was enough to kick us out of the pack immediately. After all, who would want to keep the traitors in the pack? No alpha would ever let a constant danger live in his pack, but Alessio gave us a second chance. Hell, he even let Liam keep his beta position. I did not want Alessio to get hurt. I also did not want Liam to get hurt but his mindset is already fixed and is not going to change, no matt
The guards followed Alessio’s command. Grabbing Liam by his arms, they dragged him out of the room after snatching the weapon out of his hand. He did not put up a fight nor say a word. It was like I had ripped his soul out of him. They were out of the door, and as soon as the door shut behind them, a heavy breath left my lips as I fell forward, clutching my head with my hands, my whole body shaking. I knew I would feel bad for doing this to him, but I had not realised the extent of it until this very moment. I just betrayed my childhood best friend. My heart was in pain, my eyes trying to push back the tears that threatened to fall. I had to clench my eyes shut tightly to keep the tears from falling. The look in his eyes was haunting me. He trusted me blindly. I had betrayed his trust. He must think I am the most worthless, worst person to ever come in his life. He must be cursing me. He must be cursing himself for ever putting his trust in me. I remained the same way for several mi
“Sorry.” Daniel muttered and turned around, immediately walking out of the room. The door was left open behind him. My breathing was still uneven and fast, my lips and my waist tingling where Alessio’s touch had been on me. My face was turning red as a blush covered my cheeks, making my face burn. “I- I will see you later.” I managed to mutter, surprised that voice even managed to come out of my mouth and immediately scrambled out of the bed to get off. Barefeet, I rushed out of the room, closing the door behind myself. I could not even look at his face because of shyness. My feet did not stop running until I was nearly close to the dungeon. Rushing inside the washroom, I closed the door behind myself and gripped the edge of the basin, closing my eyes. I glanced up in the mirror, my cheeks were completely red. Once I had gained back the senses and the hotness on my cheeks started to fade, I walked out of the washroom and went inside the dungeon to get some sleep. Throughout the nig
Five Years Later…“Not going to work out.” I mumbled, stuffing the file I had in my hand in the drawer.“It is going to work out.” Nia frowned, “I gave him a kiss.”“On the cheek.” I tried to hold back my smile, “you kissed him on the cheek. The situation required a minimum of a blowjob, girly.”Nia leaned against the couch, sipping her coffee. Since we had gotten a bigger office because now we were making changes to all the packs that Alessio owned, not only Bloodmoon, the workload had increased. Nia had been helpful since the very beginning though. Diana had moved out, and gone to the city to have a new life with her human partner who had had werewolf- human parents. They had met at a grocery shop one day, somehow hit it off, started dating secretly and the next thing I know, we are getting a surprise announcement from Diana saying she is getting married again.We met the dude though. There was no way we were going to handover our sweet Diana to a total stranger.Turns out he was f
Alessio drove us home in his car.He was silent.I was silent.I was feeling a good deal of relief. There was the distinct possibility that my life was going to go back to normal. I’d never been a fan of normal, in fact, I avoided it at all costs, but now it sounded really good to me.I kind of wanted to ask Alessio if it was truly all over but I could tell Alessio didn’t feel in the mood to talk. I could tell this because there were scary “not now” vibes bouncing around inside the car so I figured talking about this later would be better.Lara was in much better shape than me, thankfully. Since they did not have any use of her, they had just dumped her in a dungeon far away from the main house and gave her food every two days. I was pretty sure that it was not by choice though. Seth was overly cautious of not letting Alessio find him at any cost. Hiding Lara in a dungeon and leaving her there must have been the part of his plan because Lara is a warrior, much stronger and smarter tha
MiaWhen the dust settled down, I saw Daniel standing right there, his gun in his hand and it was smoking.Thank… you… God.It might seem terrible that I was thanking the good Lord that someone got shot but if divine retribution came in the form of Daniel and his silver revolver, I was not going to quibble.Before I could react, or look around to see where Alessio was, I heard from behind me in a voice I did not recognize.“Step away from the girl, and get down on your knees.”It wasn’t Alessio.It was a man with yellow eyes, holding a gun directly to Seth’s temple.Wow.“Take him back, Jacob.” Daniel said and Seth and yellow eyes moved back several steps.Daniel came forward, gun pointed at the man on the floor who was rolling around, hands holding his thigh, blood seeping between his fingers.I stared in horror. I wasn’t really good with blood and there seemed to be a lot of it.“Is he still alive?” I asked in a trembling voice. The man that Seth had abused, he was still alive!Dani
Alessio“I can’t risk getting wrong info about this, you know that, right, Jacob?” I questioned the bounty hunter in front me.Jacob cocked his to the side, raising his brow, “When have I ever disappointed you?”I thought about it for a second. The number came to zero. That is exactly why I had chosen him to trace Mia. “This is about my mate.” I replied quietly, taking the tablet from his hand to scroll through while keeping my eyes locked with his yellow ones, “I can absolutely not risk any wrong information for this case. If anything goes wrong, I am gonna have your neck on the table before I burn everything to the ground.”Even though I trusted Jacob because not only he was smart, young, and almost as fast as me when it came to fighting and hiding his traces, it was hard for me to put Mia’s life into someone else’s hands. “I am aware of that.” Jacob straightened, his serious gaze transfixed on me, “I already double checked everything, you don’t need to worry.”***“Come at me.” J
The Next Day…My body hurt in places that I did not even know could hurt. There was nothing but agony filling my whole being as I washed hundreds of scattered dishes that were thrown in front of me to clean after breakfast.I had not healed at all. My body was still wrapped up in bandages and some wounds were still leaking a bit of blood. My face and neck were severely swollen, and I had become unrecognisable. Seth did what he had said while accepting what I was desperately hoping for.I was out of the dungeon, out of the hospital room confinement, but Seth made sure to inject me with a scent hiding potion, and a potion that entirely made me ugly and an old age woman instead of myself so that even though I lived here, no one would recognize me as Mia. There were about ten men in his clan. All of them were strong, buffed up people with dangerous looks in their eyes. Scars covered them, and they were just letting Seth take the lead because Seth was smarter and more ruthless than them.
Harry looked like he did not want to, but then seeing the ‘no- negotiation’ look on Seth’ face, he turned around and walked out of the room.Seth walked up to me, his eyes going from my bandage-wrapped forehead to my severely swollen face which had a huge tape stamped on the one side of my cheek, my neck, down to my arms, wrists, and legs which were also in the same condition. Not broken, but heavily injured and wrapped in bandages to stop the bleeding.“Harry did a good job on you, it seems.” he smirked, laughing a little as he sat down on the chair next to my bed, “oh Mia… when are you going to learn?”“Learn what?” I croaked out, even though it hurt my throat and my face like shards of glass were digging inside my skin.“That anyone in this clan or anyone outside of it can break you into tiny little pieces and throw your body to the dogs without blinking twice.”“Are you worried about me?” I mocked.Seth smiled, “Of course. Don’t you see me crying tears of blood here, my sweet sist
Mia‘Misha…?’ I croaked through the heavy slumber.Again, there was nothing but silence.‘Please, Misha.’ I whispered.Disappointment and anger were filling me now. I could not move at all. My helplessness was perhaps showing even on my face as I fought to stay conscious even through the pain that was engulfing me completely.If only I could come in contact with Misha, I could shift, fight my way out, or at least, get better faster with my wolf healing powers. I could also try to mind link with Alessio. But like every other damn time, Misha had betrayed me when I needed her the most.But it was probably not her fault. She must be suppressed by these assholes already so I don’t fight back.Plan A was to wake Misha up by putting my own life at risk. Failed. Just got injured badly.When lives were threatened, our wolves usually come out to protect the human form as wolf form is stronger. But there was no sign of Misha until the very moment I fell unconscious.Plan B, try to get in touch
Alessio’s POVFor a few moments, my mind went blank. All the commotion faded in a deafening silence and the bad thoughts rushed in. The past flashing in front of my eyes became my new reality, and the same things happening to Mia with her being helpless and no way to find a way out sent shudders down my spine. I closed my eyes tightly to block everything that was trying to swallow me like a black hole. I could not think about all of that right now. Mia…I opened my eyes again, my eyes turned blue as my wolf rushed to the surface. The only thing that stopped it from fully taking control and rushing to find Mia was the sight of fire all around and the little bit of sense of responsibility that I had left inside me to save all these people.The sounds came back and the silence faded slowly. The visions of past blurred and fire took place in my eyes. People were still screaming, shouting, murmuring. I looked at Daniel, “Find a way out. Call the territory guards.”“You don’t need to pret
My head throbbed in tension and pain while the terrified feeling in my whole body made me shudder. The room started to leave goosebumps on my skin as the coldness of the wall increased with each passing second.Worry for Lara’s safety was eating me alive from inside. All I could think about was what must be happening to her right now? Would she be okay? Is she hurt? In pain? What if Seth does what he told me? I could not stay here tied up like this! Lara had done everything from me! She did not even know who this bastard is! I could not let her be in danger.I kept on twisting the ties on my wrists until I could hear the sound of each drop of my blood falling down on the ground bit by bit. I had been screaming for hours for guards. I did not know what excuse I was going to use, but I only needed one of them to com
