Adrian’s POV

Seeing Phoebe’s lifeless body on the floor stirred something inside me.

I thought she was at the hospital dead.

Why is she here?

I have tons of questions swirling in my head.

“Ady babe” Alexa called, still in her bra.

I could not look her in the eye.

What have I done?

I have f*cked up again!

My head was all over the place. I did not know what to do. Phoebe was lying here unconscious and Alexa was standing behind me half naked.

Someone opened the door, pulling me out of my thoughts.

That damn door!! If I had locked it, none of these would’ve happened. But if Phoebe had not interrupted, heaven knows what would’ve happened between me and Alexa.

“What is going on here?” Axel said, eyeing Alexa.

“What is she doing here half naked?” He said, still looking at her.

“Oh my goodness, Phoebe!!” Axel’s mate screamed as she gathered Phoebe in her arms.

“What happened here, Adrian?” Axel asked kneeling beside his mate.

What should I say?

    Adrian’s pov: Axel and I got out of the car immediately, and we saw a big wolf with gray fur, staring at us intensely. Although the wolf is big, but not as big as Axel and mine. My Alpha sense kicked it, as I felt something off. I mindlinked Axel to tell him about it but he also had the same hunch. The wolf attacked us, making us shift into our wolf forms. My sense heightened, as I sniffed the air making me sense the other wolves. F*ck!! This is a rouge attack. A chorus of growls and snarls echoed through the forest, and a pack of rogues emerged from the trees. Axel and I repositioned ourselves, ready to defend. I noticed Mia was also in her wolf form, ready to defend. The big wolf lunged at me, but I dodged his attack and sank my claws deep into his shoulders. He kicked me, making me fall to the ground. I gained my stance again and attacked. With my teeth barred and claws flashing, I knocked him into a tree, sinking my claws into his chest. He was begging for mercy but

    Adrian’s Pov: “You heard me loud and clear Adrian leave this place. Or should I say, Alpha Adrian?” She said, challenging me. “Are you a werewolf?” I asked impatiently. “No, I am not.” “What are you?” “I do not owe you an answer, Adrian. Leave this place before my mother sees you.” “Excuse me? Do you know who you are talking to?” I said angrily. Before she could reply, another voice spoke up. “Leave my daughter Adrian Knight Mikel.” She said, looking at me with pure disgust. I turned my back to see an old woman standing at the door. She was holding a stick which was aiding her to move towards me. I looked at her eyes and it was cloudy blue, with a piercing glint. Something feels off. I can feel it.This woman appears to be blind, but she’s staring into my soul looking deep inside my eyes. How is she doing that? “We don’t want anything to do with werewolves Adrian, especially you. Now leave before I do something you won’t like.” She said, her eyes switching to di

  • Veil Of Shadows   Chapter 20

    Adrian’s POV: After driving for another eight hours, I finally got to my pack. I thought that when I got here I would finally feel peaceful, but I didn’t. It still felt like something was missing. By the time we got to the pack house, it was in the evening. I made my way to the pack house, alongside Axel and his mate. “Alpha welcome.” The pack members greet us as we make our way around the house. “Alpha, Beta” They greeted as we passed, with their heads bowed. As I entered the house, I was welcomed by a tantalizing aroma. Damn, I missed my mom’s dishes. “Adrian.” My mum screamed my name, and immediately she saw me. “My son, I’ve missed you so much.” She said, hugging me. I hugged her tighter, patting her back. “I missed you too mum, I'm back now,” I murmured still hugging her. “Now that your son is here, you’ve forgotten about me. Is that how it is?” I heard my father’s voice behind me. I pulled away from my mother softly and stretched my hand for my father t

    Adrian’s Pov: “I rejected my mate” There it is, I’ve dropped the bombshell. “YOU WHAT?” My mother said, tears building up in her eyes. “I rejected her mother. I can’t have Phoebe as my mate. She’s a weak omega, and I am from the strongest werewolf bloodline. Accepting her would not only cause harm to me but to the entire pack. Look at yourself Mother, you are strong, and everyone loves you in the pack. You radiate a powerful aura that is why you raised strong kids like me and my sisters.” “If I had accepted Phoebe, she wouldn’t be able to do these things, Mother. The pack members would also be disappointed. It was not easy for me mother, and I hope you understand. My wolf left me since the rejection, imagining the hurt I felt when I found out that my Luna is nowhere near how I envisioned her to be.” “You are wrong about that Adrian. Although your mother is not an omega, she did not become strong overnight. That is what the whole mating process is about. Being each other's str

  • Veil Of Shadows   Chapter 22

    Adrian's pov: “Your reasons for rejecting her, are baseless Adrian. You should not have done that. I hope you will change your mind Adrian and go back for her Adrian before it’s too late. Because your father meant it when he gave you that ultimatum.” She said, holding my face in her hands. “Mum, something else happened when I was coming,” I said, resting my head on her lap. “What else did you do Adrian?” She said, with disappointment laced in her voice. My mother has always been proud of me. No matter what, she has always stood by me and the same goes for my father. I know this mate issue deeply hurt them. But why wouldn’t they understand? “When Axel and I were coming, we stopped at the city to rest a little bit. After eating, Axel and Mia went to the car and I went to get water. Immediately I entered the shop, I sensed that something was wrong. The lady at the counter refused to sell water for me. She said I was not welcome and she asked me to leave before her mother came.” “N

    Phoebe’s pov: The last thing I remembered before passing out was Adrian and Alexa making out. Why did Adrian do this to me? I looked around, and I realized that I was not at the pack hospital anymore. Where am I? I asked no one in particular. I tried standing up, but I couldn’t. Guess I am back to square one. “You are finally awake.” Someone said, in a monotone. Well, I guess he/she was not happy that I made it back to life. I am not delighted either. The person came closer, holding a tray. Why does she look familiar? “Sit up and eat your food.” She said, sternly and I finally recognized her. She’s part of the maid that works at the pack house. But why is she making food for me and why are we both staying alone? Did she kidnap me? I wondered as I looked at the ceiling. “Have you gone deaf?” She said, dropping the tray on the bedside table as she stormed out. Wow, just when I thought someone had the decency to give a f*ck about me. I tried to stand up, to eat, but I couldn

    Phoebe’s pov: Alexa made it her everyday mission to make sure she tortured me. It has been a week since Mia left. A week of pain, agony, and torture. I was still staying at the house alone, but Alexa always made sure to visit every day to give me my daily dose of pain and assault. My health was deteriorating badly. The Alpa stopped the pack doctor from giving me medicine since the day I opened my eyes. I have not eaten anything in a week. My life was not this bad before. At least I used to eat leftover food, and I was not bedridden. I used to have energy to work even when I was injured but now, I can’t even stand up from the bed. His rejection made everything worse now I’m bedridden because of him. Everything turned upside down since the day I met him. I genuinely cursed the day he called me his mate in that hall. That day marked the beginning of a more wretched life. I hate him so much that the thought of him makes me want to throw up. I thought werewolves were supposed to get

    Phoebe’s Pov: The next day, the pack doctor came to treat me as promised. He came with different herbs, medicines and antiseptics. When he entered, he examined my wounds carefully and I saw the pitiful look in his eyes. He cleaned the wounds with antiseptic, to disinfect them. After that, he inserted an IV drip into my vein, the blood flowing into my system. “This will help to restore the blood you lost, and accelerate healing.” He said, as his face drifted to the bag of blood hanging from the drip stand. “But….I have a rare blood group. How’d you manage to get blood?” I asked surprised. “You are not so dumb after all. Yes, your blood group is rare, which is why I am giving you mine. Do not read any unnecessary meaning to it I’m just doing my job.” He said, still focusing on the blood drip. I muttered a low ‘thank you’. “I brought some food for you to eat.” “On the Alpha’s order of course.” He added briefly. Just when I thought someone cared about me but it was on Alpha’s ord

    Phoebe’s Pov:“I must not get to the pack hospital before you, else, no dinner for you tonight.” He said before he sped off. I did not miss the devilish look Alexa and Beta Alfred gave me.How did he expect me to compete with a car? I cannot even walk properly not to talk of running to the pack. How am I supposed to get there before them? If only I had I wolf, then it would have been easier. I hugged Mia’s bag tightly, ready to commence the awful journey. I knew all the nooks and crannies of this pack, all thanks to foolish circumstances like this one. I knew it was impossible to get there before them even if I went through corners although it would help me get there faster. I took a deep breath, composed myself, and was about to start running before a car pulled up. Did they come back for me? I thought silently, as I bowed my head.That’s impossible. Why would they come back to pick me up? I thought again, as I said raised my head, and my eyes met with Dr.Kendrick.What was he doin

    Adrian’s POV: “Hello everyone.” “Good evening, Alpha.” The pack members chorused as they bowed, showing respect. “As we all know, we are gathered here today, to celebrate our Beta and his new mate,” I said, as the pack members' focus went to Axel and his mate. “As the Alpha of this pack, I wholeheartedly welcome Mia into the Blue Crescent pack. She is the second most important female in this pack, and I want you all to treat her with respect and honor. Any disrespect would not be tolerated. You are now one of us Mia. And as the Alpha, I promise to keep you, and everyone in this pack safe. I promise to provide all the necessities and fulfill my duties as the Alpha. Once again, welcome to my pack Mia.” I said, as my voice boomed with authority. The crowd erupted with another round of applause as I left the stage. Dad was saying that they would question me about their Luna. But they listened to my speech attentively without any hesitation. No one would dare disrespect me in the p

    Phoebe’s Pov:I read Mia’s letter countless times and I still could not get over it. All I could do was cry non-stop, and I fall asleep. The doctor came the next day and gave me a different prescription. Alexa also made sure to dish her daily torture. I knew my health was not getting better and Dr. Kendrick was also aware. Although he said the reason why I was not responding to treatment was that I was wolfless. But I blame it on Adrian. He’s the reason for all my problems. A week later….. It had been a week of staying alone in that apartment. Mia’s letter served as my comfort every night. I had been eating the food the doctor brought for me on the Alpha's order. The doctor made sure to clean my injuries every day although I could not see any difference. My injuries were not healing. I was still weak. Although, I could stand, and take my bath, but I couldn’t stand for too long. During the past week, I tried walking on my own without anyone’s help and it had been very difficult a

    Adrian’s Pov: I went to my room and showered. I opened my wardrobe, took a random black shirt, and paired it with a black trouser. Honestly, this is my signature dress. I love black. Everything in my room is black even though my sisters tried helping me to redecorate it. I changed my shirt to lemon because I knew my mother was going to complain when she sees me wearing an all-black outfit. She’s going to create drama at the ceremony and I don’t want that. I put on my Rolex watch, and settled for black sneakers. I drove to the pack house, and the house was overflowing with pack members happy to celebrate Axel. When I stepped into the hall, the pack members sensed my presence and immediately the room turned silent. All eyes turned to my approaching figure, my presence commanding attention. The hall seemed to vibrate with my authority. My gaze swept across the room, acknowledging familiar faces. My eyes landed on Mine and Axel’s parent at the center of the hall, their eyes beaming

    Phoebe’s pov:Dear Phoebe, I don’t know what to write, to be honest. Because I am writing this in a rush because of that asshole Adrian. He gave us nine minutes to pack our loads. And instead of that, I am using the time to write to you. When you wake up, I know you’ll feel bad because I promised to see you the next morning. I don’t know how I will survive without you Phoebe which is why I am writing this letter with tears in my eyes and a deep ache in my heart. Fifteen years ago, I met a very beautiful and strong girl. She was so tiny and full of life. I was jealous of her, and I spoke to everyone about her. My friends and my parents got tired of me talking about the girl. According to them, there was nothing special about her. But I knew there was something great about her. I instantly knew I wanted to be friends with her and I was happy when I spoke to her at the lake. The first time we spoke, I went back home happily and ranted to my parents about our encounter. Everyone in my

    Adrian’s pov:It’s been a week since I have returned to the pack. I had lots of work to do, and I have worked non tirelessly since then alongside Axel. My father and mother were also busy finding solutions to the mating issue. Honestly, there’s nothing they can do. Phoebe cannot be my mate and I’m not taking a second mate. My mother had been trying to contact that witch, but it was futile. Axel and Mia were having their welcome ceremony this night and I was still stuck at the office. I was close to figuring out the people behind the rogue attack that night. According to the investigation Axel and I did, the wolves that attacked us were not rogues. They have a pack and they were sent after us purposely. We have marked the possible packs that we suspected. We would have gone to visit them, but I was giving Axel time to warm up with his mate. “You’ve been in this office since dawn Adrian. You need to take a break.” Axel said as he walked into my office. “I don’t need any break,” I re
