I stood in front of Hardy, breathing heavily. I knew I looked like a freak with my wild hair all over the place and my terrified, anxious gaze.“Why should I believe you?” I asked. My voice was not shivering but my mind was in a turmoil and the memories of that dream which had felt so, so real a few minutes ago were haunting me. I could still hear their voices. I could still feel the touch of their breaths on my skin as mom had sobbed so miserably with sad eyes and dad had refused to even spare me another glance with his lips pursed in repulsion toward me.Hardy looked surprised at my question. It took a moment for him to fathom what I was talking about as he straightened, and asked with a sceptical stare, “So you agree to my proposal?”My face had long lost all the colour. I knew my face was white as a sheet when I reminded him coldly, “You are a nobody. Why are you so sure that this is going to work?”“Because I am not alone.” he immediately spoke up with pride. His face tilted up an
My mind was in chaos and my body was buzzing with the closeness of his touch. I could not even answer to him as I stared into his dark eyes that were somewhat covered with a few wet curls that were falling on his forehead. With my heart in my throat, I silently stared into his eyes until he straightened on his feet but he did not step back to create any distance between us. I could touch him with my body if I moved even an inch. And I was scared of moving and filling that one inch of gap. The feeling of wanting to fall into his arm was tempting, but I had to control myself and keep that temptation at bay. “Wish me luck.” he muttered, his one hand slipping inside the pocket of his trouser and the other one pushing back the curls from his forehead. I looked at him in confusion. What was he talking about? I had literally forgotten all about everything else but him and his hot body against mine. “Say it.” he repeated softly with hooded gaze, and his head tilted to the side, “come on.
I followed Alessio outside toward the pack ground as the announcement about the contest getting started echoed in the air through the loudspeaker. The muscles on his naked back were straining with each step. For the contest he was wearing a black trouser and nothing on top. The abs on his fair chest, and the v line going down to his ‘ahem’ area was visible to the naked eye. Those trainings in the morning were definitely paying off greatly. I had to concentrate on the ground with too much concentration to avoid getting caught drooling over his body. As much of as a-hole he was, there was no way to avoid the temptation he induced inside me. The pack house was empty as everyone had already left the pack house and gathered on the ground. The evening sky had started to cover the sun and darkness was about to engulf the place soon. I stopped in my tracks when Alessio suddenly stopped walking. He roamed his eyes all around the gigantic arena which was now filled with people. The whole spac
The assassin suddenly shifted his arm, the gun in his hand moving toward me. My eyes widened in shock as I stumbled back on my feet in fear. Alessio was just as shocked as me as he turned his head toward me and then back to the assassin. “Drop that weapon right now.” Alessio said in an authoritative, threatening voice, “you are inside the pack house. You will not get out alive!” The man appeared unaffected by the threat. His voice was a heavy, and deep one, much like his big form. He looked about seven feet tall, and his body was that of a monster size with big muscles. “Sorry Alpha, we can not keep a traitor alive.” “What?” I whispered, his words were increasing my fright with each passing second. The assassin’s eyes were pinned on Alessio while his gun stayed pointed in my direction. One move from Alessio and he would shoot me. His stance was clear. “She planned to kill you and Luna Gloria.” he took slow steps in our direction, getting closer, “I was tasked to keep an eye on h
At that very moment, a shrill sound of alarm shook the pack house. The sound of commotion started immediately while the attacker shot off my body, standing on his feet with surprise on his face. I turned my head toward Alessio. He had pressed on a button that was right next to his work table. He was still writhing in agony, his body burning red and his eyes shined blue. The wolfsbane was taking effect on him very fast. If it had been any normal werewolf, he would have fainted already. The assassin had immediately turned around and ran out of the room. The roars could be heard from outside, the sounds of growls and screams and then… sudden silence. As the pain became blinding, Misha changed back to human form, giving me control. The danger was no longer around. I was on the ground in my human form, naked, but the pain running through me was too blinding for shame to take any place. The cold floor underneath me was calming. I heard Alessio coming close to me. He snatched a blanket off
A wave of shock passed across his face. And then disappointment appeared. His face fell, the smile faded and he looked like I had snatched his life out of him. I could see the doubt, the fear mixed with surprise unfolding behind his eyes. His hand was clutching the iron rod above my head tightly while his lips thinned into a displeased line. “What? An Omega should not dare to reject you?” I scoffed, catching him off guard. He remained silent, but I could see that his ego was hurt. I had caught his thought by its neck and wrung it down in front of him, and now I could watch it burn in front of him. I smiled in a way that could only be deciphered as sarcastic, “Yeah, it should be my lucky day, right? An alpha gracing me with his acceptance to be his mate? He fell in love with me without realising and now when he knows what he wants, he has decided to express it to the girl that he rejected without a second thought? How can I even expect to be asked for my answer? You decide and I give
As I entered the hospital room after bidding goodbye to Gloria, my eyes first fell on the figure laying on the bed next to mine. With his arms folded under his head over the pillow, Alessio was sound asleep. Daniel was standing next to his bed, staring down at him with pissed off expressions. When the sound of my footsteps entered the room, Daniel turned around to look at me. “He is not leaving.” he said in a flat tone, “I have tried. He insists that he will stay here until you are discharged.” I looked at Alessio’s sleeping form and then back at Daniel. Shaking my head at his stubbornness, I responded to Daniel, “It is alright. You can go.” Daniel nodded his head. Giving a last brief look to Alessio, he turned around and walked out of the room. The sound of our conversation must have stirred Alessio out of sleep as he blinked open his eyes. “What are you doing?” I asked Alessio. His things had been brought in my room and arranged on the bed next to mine. “Moving in with you.” he
“Mimi!” Lara’s scream startled me long before her arm came flinging around my neck to wrap around from behind. I had just walked inside the school and there she was. She bent me sideways to kiss me on the cheek and then let go of me. Her arm slid under mine as she walked side by side with me. “I was gone for barely a weekend and look at the things that happened to you!” she said worriedly, her eyes scanning me from head to toe carefully, “Are you alright?” “Yep,” I smiled, “all healed. Werewolf power.” I said proudly. “Good.” she grinned and pushed me inside the classroom before following to sit next to me. As we settled in, she got closer to me, leaned forward and whispered, “I heard some crazy things though. Is it true that it was Hardy who tried to harm you and alpha?” The smile from my lips faded as the memory of that night came back to me. The pain in my ribs had been excruciating. Nodding my head, I responded to her, “Daniel and Alpha Alessio are interrogating him. But ye
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
