Mia“What?!” I jumped back in shock. Ace’s penetrating, calm gaze was still on me but I did not like the way he was looking at me right now. He was looking at me like he was trying to read my mind.“You have practised a lot with me. You are able to almost defeat Lara. Do you see now how strong you are?” he said to me in the sweetest voice.I stepped back more, my heart pounding inside my chest harder and harder. No. No. No. I will not… I can not do this.“I already told you I-”He walked up to me slowly, like approaching a wounded creature that he was afraid of scaring off,“You remember what we discussed? It is time to step out.” I was shaking. Bile was rising up in my throat because I was so nervous and tensed. My mind was in chaos and pounding. “Back off.” I whispered.“Misha-”“Back off!” I roared, furious. Why was he doing this to me? Why did everyone want to kill me? Was he also one of the enemies who wants to hurt me? My mind was getting filled with millions of thoughts and
A man walked in. His face was covered in scars and cut up in several places. It was hard to recognize any facial features. “He is one of the witnesses who are helping us trace down our missing warriors.” Alessio sat down next to me on the bed, “his name is Mateo.”The man was large in size, maybe six feet tall, but not too healthy or too thin. He looked like an average person but wore expensive clothes. “Thank you for saving me.” I said meekly. I did not know why but I could not look at him. It was not because of his scarred face. It was something else that I could not put my finger on.Mateo silently nodded his head. His head down, staring at the ground in a submissive manner.“Please go downstairs. You will find my beta Daniel in the hall.” Alessio said to Mateo, “I will definitely repay your debt for saving my mate.”Mateo bowed his head down in respect and walked out of the room. Alessio turned to me, his hand lifting up to caress the side of my face, “Never do that to me again
“You both had sex on Karaoke day of my marriage?” I gasped in shock. “Well, everyone was drunk and tipsy and high on emotions so we kinda… slipped into the mood you know?” Lara giggled, “after Karaoke he asked me to help him grab more beers from the house and then instead of going inside we were like right next to the house on the side in the wild making out like crazy. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex against the wall.” Lara’s cheeks were pink but she leaned forward and whispered quietly, “dude, he is like the god of fucking!” “And you guys didn’t stop?” I asked with a teasing smirk, already knowing the answer. Lara plopped down on my bed with a sigh and ran a hand in her hairs before turning to me with a smile, “Nope!” “So you guys are in a relationship now?” I laid down next to her with my hand supporting my head. “Not really.” there was a shadow of disappointment on her face as she muttered the words, “I guess he wants to wait for his mate.” “Did you ask h
My body had become frozen as dread washed over me. Chill spread through my veins.The wolves began to growl and get closer to us. I stepped back cautiously, my body shaking with fear. There was no one around to see us or protect us. How had they infiltrated the pack without coming to anyone’s notice?!My paw collided with something and I almost fell down. It was Alessio’s body. I did not need to turn around to look at it.I tried to mind link with Daniel and Lara but it was blocked. There was nothing going through like I never even possessed the ability. It was a deadly silence and I had started to fear that it was about to engulf us.‘Misha, we are losing Alessio.’ Mia&rsqu
It was like the time had stilled and there was no air anymore. The bright light that had covered my vision disappeared in a blink and loud noises attacked my eardrums.My vision cleared and I realised how many people were standing in front of me. Almost all of the pack members stood behind the wolves in front of me. I recognized some of them. Daniel, Jake, Lara, and the rest I did not know name of. The pack members were staring at me wide eyed, some had their palms on their mouths in shock.‘What?’ I responded to the voice in my head, but did not wait to hear the response. Turning around on my feet, I ran toward Alessio. His chest was not moving. His face was drained of blood. The silver arrow in his chest stood straight proudly.He needed to be treated. I turned my head toward the wolves in expectations but none of them moved at all. Why the fuck aren’t they moving?I shifted, giving Mia control. She will help our mate. ***Mia’s POVThe chill air of the night hit me like a cold bu
Turning around, I shut locked the room behind myself. Sounds of quick footsteps immediately approached the door, a few fists banged on the door repeatedly.“Mia, open the door! Mia!” Daniel shouted from outside.Quietly, I moved toward the body on the bed that laid unconscious and unmoving. ‘Why did she lock herself in?’ people were talking worriedly outside, ‘what is going on?’‘Alpha is so young. He is an only child. This should not have happened to him. So unfortunate.’‘Luna has locked herself in. I am worried. Is she going to harm herself? Is she going to kill herself?’‘THUD. THUD. THUD!’ the banging on the doors increased even more. Daniel’s desperate voice called out from outside, “Mia!”‘Move back. I am breaking the door.’ I immediately turned around, and screamed, “Shut up! SHUT THE FUCK UP! I am not killing myself. Leave me the fuck alone!”The sounds fell quiet. People stopped talking. I finally turned around to face Alessio again. Now it was just me and him in the room.
The attackers started closing in and surrounding me from all sides. My trembling form could only stare into the space where mom had been just a bit ago, unable to move. It was like someone had glued my paws to the ground.Within no time all of them were hoving over me. The witch was walking toward us now. Just ten more steps and she will kill me just like she killed my parents.“Here it is!” a man’s shout came from afar. Several footsteps echoed inside the jungle. “Alpha Alessio!”The witch suddenly stumbled back. Her eyes becoming wide. “Run.” she whispered and then shouted louder, “RUN!”The men in black parted from each other and then moving back, all of them started running in several directions. The new werewolves who had just arrived were on their tail immediately.I, on the other hand, could barely stand any longer. I fell down on the ground hard. My body unable to move at all while my eyes could barely fight off the darkness.I heard the distinct voices from afar.‘Where is a
Alessio“She is still refusing to see me?” I rubbed my eyes and looked up at Lara with expectation, hoping I would hear something else.“Yes.” Lara said disappointedly, “she did not even talk to me. I tried to talk to her, but she refused to even open the door.”My fingers tightened on the back of the chair as my heart hurt like someone had snatched it out of my chest.“It has been a week already.” I muttered and straightened, my eyes flashing blue, “this is it.”I turned around and started to walk out of the office room. Daniel rushed after me, “Alpha, let’s give her more time to be ready to come out. I don’t think that-” I put my hand on Daniel’s chest to stop him from speaking, and pushed back harshly, “She is my mate. She is my responsibility. It has been a week, for fuck’s sake! I haven’t seen her face. I haven’t heard her voice. I don’t even fucking know what I have done to resent me so severely that she is not even ready to look at me! I am worried about her! I deserve to be t
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
