Right as the man dropped to the ground, he heard a gunshot from the direction he came from. And this time, they weren’t hiding the sounds of guns. They wanted to be seen fighting someone who won’t fall down even if hit by a bullet. Those bastards had everything planned. He won’t be surprised if the fight that was happening there is being captured in an HD video.
[Stay away from their direct sight. Do not be seen! Pass my order!] He wasn’t sure if his words were picked up by any of his men. They weren’t a pack. He was treated as their boss but not their Alpha, thus, his link to them wasn’t as strong. He wasn’t sure if someone heard his wolf but he had no time to stop to make sure he saw one of his men being hit with a bullet dipped in wolfsbane. “Shit!”
“Boss!” The man that missed by the bullet dipped in wolfsbane was surprised to see him.
“Be careful! Where’s Trent?” His eyes wer
“Motherfuck…where are you taking me?” His voice sounded so broken and weak in his own ears.“We are taking you to the safe house.” Ehann’s face came to view. His face was ashen and his eyes were full of worry.“How’s Trent?” He whispered, grabbing Ehann’s wrist. His wolf was down, poisoned by wolfsbane.“Trent was okay, boss. Thank you.” Travis’s blurry face hovered in his face while he felt the movement of water and the engine vibration under him. The safehouse that Ehann was talking about wasn’t a house but a boat. It was one of his boats that was docked in the Marina, registered under a name of a girl that he used to play around with, and became a trusted friend.“Elyon?”“He was with Edsel taking care of the damage.”He recognized it as Ehann’s voice but his eyesight was out of focus and he could no longer see anything unles
Lina screamed before hitting the floor and cutting her lips as she fell face down on the cold tile floor. “Fuck!” She wiped the blood that trickled from the corner of her lips and gagged when she tasted the coppery taste of her own blood. She stopped herself from spitting on the floor. ‘Disgusting!’ She thought to herself as she swallowed the blood and saliva that pooled inside her mouth.Shuddering with disgust, she grabbed her phone that was on the floor with her and checked the time—it was quarter to five. She slept for so long her neck and shoulders were so tense with how she curled herself on the armchair. She was drinking and stalking Eon from random girls in IG. It was easy to do since club Luna has been tagged all over the place. Seeing Eon in the company of different women, made her realize her stupidity. There is no way in hell that Eon would stay like what he promised her.Her eyes turned misty and she exhaled a deep breath, clo
“I need to call Lina.” He told Travis to look for his phone but he had been calling for about an hour and he still wasn’t able to reach her. His patient was running low and he couldn’t wait for this damn boat to reach the shore. “Boss, Ehann called.” “What now?!” He snapped at Travis who was squirming. He didn’t really have to hear what he was going to say to know that it’s something that would add to his growing annoyance. “Uhm, she found the cameras you’ve installed in her house.” Travis averted his gaze even though it wasn’t his fault that the boss’s woman found the cameras that had been secretly installed. “Fuck me!” He pulled his hair and a searing pain spread in his abdomen where a bullet lodged inside erupted in pain. The doctor offered to remove the bullet but he was in such a hurry to get back to Lina that he decided to let the bullet stay since his body would heal on its own in the next two to three days. It would be easier to remove the
Eon shifted Lina’s head in his arm because his arm was losing blood. After much coaxing and promising her that he’s here with her, Lina who was so drunk finally fell asleep. And it’s been ten hours since! He had already slept longer than his usual hours of sleep due to the painkillers and the rhythmic breathing of Lina, next to him. As much as he wanted to watch Lina sleep, he needed to pee. However, every time he moved, she would sob in her sleep.He closed his eyes and breathed slowly through his nose. He’s tempted to wake her up but the thought that Lina might not sleep for how many hours changes his mind. He found out that Lina could stay awake for three to four days—even more with the help of caffeine and some pills.“Hmmm,” she mumbled in her sleep, curling closer to Eon’s side as though she was cold and needed some warmth.Eon smiled softly and stroked her cheek. As he was stroking her cheek, he noticed that
“You’re annoying.”Eon smiled, relieved with what Lina said. He was glad that she wasn’t angry. “It hurts,” he said, slightly moving his arm that Lina hit—still playing with his trump card.Guilt flashed Lina’s eyes. She slept for more than ten hours and she used Eon’s injured arm as her pillow. “Sorry,” she mumbled under her breath, chewing her lower lip.Eon reached for her and she obediently followed when he pulled her into his arms, making sure that she settled on his good arm. He could feel that his wounds were already healing but he just liked the feeling of Lina being gentle around him. He swallowed a smirk and sighed audibly which made Lina get up to check on him.“Did I hurt you?”He pulled her back into the crook of his arm, resting his chin onto the crown of her head to hide his face from her scrutinizing gaze. “I’m fine. Stay where you are. Having
Eon said goodbye to Lina after they had finished their breakfast without any hint that Lina was angry at him. He assumed things were good as Lina didn’t say anything nor treat him differently. She even kissed him goodbye and thank him for looking out after her. He explained to her that the people watching over her were just for precaution and there would be no more camera involved this time. Lina agreed, thus, he thought everything was fine. However, the moment she arrived at Luna, Larissa welcomed him with a question. Not about the incident that made him undisposed but because Lina has been asking about his Luna. Eon furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean?” “Lina sent me this photo.” She opened her camera and showed Eon the photo that Lina sent her. Eon’s jaw ticked in annoyance. The photo that Larissa was showing was the photo of Elara in his wallet. That photo has no other copy than the one in his wallet. There is no way that Lina could see it un
Lina was waiting for Larissa’s message but she still got surprised when she saw her name on the screen of her phone, calling her. “Hello, sorry if I disturb you,” she hastily said as soon as she received Larissa’s phone call. “No worries. We’re friends.” She chuckled lightly. “But I can’t stay long. Everyone is busy since Eon just came back.” She went quiet for a long time and Lina could only hear some shouting in the background and the clanging of some pots. It seemed like Larissa was in the kitchen. “I just want to know her name.” She said quietly. She was shaking when she said it, which made her furrow her brows. What’s with the woman in Eon’s wallet to evoke such strange emotion in her. She had been feeling insecure and rattled ever since she saw the photo. That’s why she was asking Larissa about it. She wanted to know about her. She wanted to understand the reason why she was feeling this way. “I’m sorry…” She cleared her throat. “I told Eon abou
When he entered his penthouse, he took off all of his clothes, except for his boxer. He removed the bandage that was covering his upper body and saw the skin of his wounds healing properly. It looked like it had been healed for a week other than a day. He smirked with how fast he healed as he flexed his arms and rolled his shoulders and felt no ounce of pain despite the long line of wounds that would be healed within the day and it won’t leave any scars at all.Despite the status of his wounds, he still took some medicine as well as the concoction of wild purple rose to combat the wolfsbane in his system. Although most of it was already washed out for his wolf was already back in being sarcastic, he wanted to remove all the traces of wolfsbane in his system to speed up his healing process. Since the full moon is still far yet he forced his wolf to come out and turn, not to mention the wolfsbane that was poisoning his wolf, hindering his normal quick healing abilities.
Lina woke up from the feeling of warm water gently splashing on her skin. When she opened her eyes, she saw Eon in deep concentration, washing her naked body in the tub. She looked to her right and noticed that they were in their own cabin. “Hey, welcome back.” He grinned, caressing her cheek. “What happened?” She asked in confusion. Eon had the audacity to smirk and arch his brow. “Well, sweetheart, I could remind you what exactly had happened,” he said in the soft tone of voice, flicking her nipple that was peeking on the water. “What a jerk!” She cupped some water in her hands and threw it to Eon’s face to wipe the smug expression on it. “You were asking,” he chuckled, wiping the water off his face as he stood up and started removing his clothes and without a word stepped inside the tub with her. He took the other end, opposite from her. He had his knees bent but his legs were wide open. Lina swallowed, and the thought of crawling in between his legs, to settle in the comfort
The murky water of the swamp rippled and then became calm again as if nothing had happened. The silver moon was high in the night sky and the gentle breeze blew as they all stood at the bank, watching the swamp in silence.The wedding bouquet that Lina threw in the water could no longer be seen in the dark. She stepped closer to Eon’s side who automatically opened his arm to enfold her.“Eon, Lina, we have to go. Thank you for inviting us to your wedding.” Briare’s voice broke the silence between them.“Thank you for coming for such short notice,” Eon replied, extending his hand for a handshake then realized that Lina was like a small chick under his right arm, that he had to move to his left and again offered his hand for a shake to Briare. “Hope to still see you at Luna,” he added.Briare smiled at Eon’s invitation but in his eyes was sadness that Eon could not help but wonder what this man had been
“Lina Baptiste, today, I want to take you as my wife,” Eon said, kneeling in front of her.She gasped, covering her agape mouth with her hands as she stared at the kneeling Eon in disbelief. She lifted her gaze away from Eon for a few minutes and glanced at Elyon, Edina, and Ehann. They were all smiling at them, standing a few feet away from them.“I-I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe that you’re going to pull this kind of shit!” She slapped Eon’s shoulder as her eyes looked around the familiar path to the cliff that was decorated with white flowers. She wondered when Eon prepared all of it.“Baby, please, say yes and hurry because we are running after the sunset,” he laughed in amusement with the disbelief on Lina’s face.“Okay!” She laughed. She handed Eon her right hand then her left. She was confused about which hand to give.Eon took her left hand and slipp
“Holy shit! You’re getting married!”Elyon won’t stop grinning as if he was the one getting married.Eon scoffed but an equally wide grin was on his face. “Ask Edina to come because just as I’ve said…if you’re even listening, you jerk! Lina needs another woman to be her maid of honor and since you’re already my best man, your mate would be just perfect.”Elyon's glee was abruptly wiped off his face. “Dude, this mate thing…is quite—” He cocked his head to the side because he was lost for words and helplessly stared at Eon. “Was it really this hard?”Eon glanced at Ehann before returning his gaze to Elyon. “If you’re asking if it was really that hard to breathe without her next to you…then the answer is yes.” He laughed. “You’re screwed big time since it includes always wanting to be inside her.”Ehann, who was
Surveying the waffles, the scrambled eggs, and the fresh fruit on the breakfast tray that Eon put down on the bed, she glanced up at him in wonder.“How did you make this breakfast?”He smirked. “You don’t have confidence in your husband that I can give you whatever you want?”Lina rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue at him for two things. Because of how overbearing he was with a smug look on his face to be able to catch her in surprise with her breakfast request, served in bed and the second factor was him, calling himself her husband.It does tickle her fancy. She definitely likes the sound of it. ‘Her husband.’ However, they aren’t married and they haven’t talked about marriage at all. They talked about children but a wedding was a topic that they haven’t touched. She didn’t know if it was avoided or just that they didn’t think about it. Thus, now that Eon is calling himself her
When Lina came out of the bathroom, Alpha Aaron was no longer in the cabin. “Where is your father?” She asked, scanning the room. She came out of the bathroom wearing lounge pants and a sweater. She had no idea whose clothes she was wearing but they were comfortable. The perfect wear for the cold mountain night. “He had to leave because the Alpha of Lykanthos was caught and brought here.” “Oh,” she said with a sharp intake of breath. “You aren’t going to—” She had no idea what Eon should or could do. He shook his head and opened his arms and she strolled inside them and pressed her cheek on her chest. “We are just guests here. Whatever business they have, they will settle them on their own. Besides, why would I want to meet another egoistic Alpha when I have a beautiful woman in my arms?” He whispered over her head, rubbing her back. The slow movement of his large palm, rubbing her back in a small circle is giving her soft feelings. Sh
When Eon returned to the small receiving area of the cabin, Alpha Aaron was quietly drinking his tea. If he didn’t know that the Deep Forest pack was attacked and his father’s pack successfully defended his pack and his position as an Alpha, he would have been able to draw a strong alliance with the two packs in his borders, and a successful Turning ceremony. Eon would not know that his father was bone-tired. That he was just keeping it together but he had to take care of a lot of things and be able to make a sensible decision for the well-being of all the wolves of the Deep Forest pack. He has never been so amazed and admired his father than today.And now, he had to make another hard decision. He had to give a punishment to his own daughter.Eon took the only chair left on the table and without a word poured himself a cup of tea.“Lina won’t sit with us?”Eon met his father’s eyes. “No. I’d rather not.&rdq
“When are you going to tell her about Larissa?” Ehann nodded in Lina’s direction, who was talking with Alpha Tomas.“Later…”He said with a sigh. It’s something that he doesn’t want to discuss with Lina as much as possible. She doesn’t want to tell Lina what will happen to Larissa after she was known to conspire with the pack that attacked the Deep Forest pack, resulting in some members of the pack being heavily injured and one dying.Larissa, together with his two half-brothers were confirmed to connive with the Lykanthos pack to attack the Deep Forest pack. Her two brothers were killed by Laurence with the help of the wolves from the Rising Sun pack. Larissa was caught escaping with the Alpha of the Lykanthos pack but the coward Alpha of the Lykanthos used her as a trap and escaped on his own. Larissa is not held prisoner in one of the secret dungeons of the Deep Forest.And it’s something that she do
After the chaotic mess that happened at the end of the Turning ceremony where Elyon jumped down from the viewing deck, claiming the unmoving new she-wolf, Edina while the rest of the young wolves were scattered all over Deep Forest and the adults who were tasked to follow the new wolves. After Eon and Ehann had a really good laugh because their premonition of Elyon having a mate twenty years his junior just happened. All the while the two were splitting their sides with laughter, she just watched them in amusement. It’s another side of Eon that she had witnessed. And in a few moments that she was watching Eon laughing at his friend's supposed misfortune, she had a glance of what Eon was like as a teen with his friends. When they finally stopped laughing, they all went down from the viewing deck because they were the only ones left. “Where did the other go?” “At the after party of course,” Eon grinned. “Are we going there too?” He cares
