COMING AROUND When my eyes flicked open, the brightness around me made me shut them again. Slowly opening a single eye, I looked around. Thank goddess, I was in my room. Yesterday was horrible, I should never drink. But why was my whole body burning, as if it was set ablaze. Was it he who came to help? No... can't be, why will he be there? Then who brought me here?...must be Jake...ya...I was worried.... Something moved behind me making me go stiff and a hand came on my waist, spreading electrifying tickles all over my skin...it can't be...no...no.. please...but I knew who it was. He was there, he brought me here and I looked at my clothes..this is not my T-shirt, he changed my clothes???? I got up from bed at full speed and that made him wake up.. "Wh.. what happened? You are awake? Are you alright?" He asked me with concern, his voice full of sleep My back was facing him. I didn't look behind at him. "Did you change my clothes?" I asked "Huh? Yaaa....I...." "You don't remem
Richard POVFCUK, what the hell just happened? I held my palms in front of my eyes that were still experiencing tickles and were trembling. I had held her face and caressed her cheeks, she had allowed me to do so. Yesterday I had held her in my arms. I hugged myself. I was so happy. Exuberant to be precise. Where I got the courage to do so I don't know...may be I just can't see her in tears.AND. she said we could be friends and she...she does not detest me...she should after all, I had been jerk in front of her but she was not.... isn't she the sweetest? How can she be so amazing...to me...my mate...my Luna... I want to make you happy...just give me one chance, love. I will do anything for you, take all your sorrows.."Someone is whipped" Derek interjected"What?" I asked irritated."Look at you lover boy" he was mocking me"Is it Derek? and who was going berserk last night. If I had not controlled you...""Ya...that..its...not my fault. Heat affects us the most you know." He tried t
Being Luna is not easy, though your pack members respect you for your title, there are still some who think you are not worthy of that title, and some even think that they deserve that title and Alpha better than you.I encountered such a situation after a few days of my new friendship with my mate. We were cordial with each other as we were sharing the room. Luna Joyce made sure he slept in his room after my HEAT incident. She went up to the extent of checking us before going to sleep.I went down in a common room in search of Brittany, she was playing with Kevin sitting on a rocking chair. Their image brought a smile on my face, I went towards them, but before I could reach her someone else came and stood in front of her and started yelling at Brittany."Who gave you the right to sit on my place, you stupid human." She yelled, I don't know who she is but due to her yelling, Kevin started crying and Brittany was shocked."Your old pack would have considered humans like you as their e
"Everyone, I present you my Mate and Luna of Southern Moon pack Ms. Jia Davis and soon-to-be Jia Richard Stanford." I said to Everyone. Jia was beyond shocked but she masked it with a smile. I had to say it cause all the Alpha wolves were looking at my mate with lust-filled eyes. I had to give out a clear message. She is MINE.I introduced her to everyone and she was polite and perfect. Owen, Jess and Albert were also present."Luna that's Alpha Ace of Lunar moon pack. Their pack is one of the ancient packs." I introduced her to Alpha Ace. He is a senior Alpha in his late thirties. This man is highly respected in our world."It's an honor meeting you Alpha" Jia said shaking his hand."Alpha Philip from Sapphire Moon" I then took her to the next Alpha."If I am not mistaken, Sapphire Moon was attacked by Black Devil and..." Jia said"Ya, you are right Luna, I lost my parents in that attack but we formed our pack again with the help of Alpha Ace and of course Alpha Richard." Philip expl
"I can't stop thinking about him""I can understand""I can't stop thinking about what he said last night""I can understand""I can't stop thinking about the.... kiss""I can un.....WHAT?" "You kissed him?""No, it was more like he kissed me."I had barged into Brittany's room first thing in the morning after tossing and turning on my bed the whole night. I wanted to talk to someone and Brit was the only one. She was giving a bath to Kevin when I came and I told her everything that happened between me and my mate."So your relationship is taking shape." She said smiling at me and dressing Kevin in a cute little jumper."I don't know I am so confus...."before I could finish my sentence there was a sound of pooping. The little devil had chosen the right time. Where it made me grin, it made Brit to huff and slouch her shoulders, shaking her head she went and sat on the chair."He does that every time, he has to poop just when I complete dressing him. Jake is always busy with his duties
Richards POV'And there was light everywhere.'My whole office room and my world were illuminated when I saw her emerging from behind Vinci. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it happened to me. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, her soft brown hair flowing behind her, those beautiful brown eyes searching me and finally landing on my face, a small twitch of her kissable lips forming a shy smile. It was hypnotic!My pissed self was more pissed when Vinci barged into my office. I was in the middle of a meeting with Karen Smith and her PA. She is the daughter of Roger Smith of Smith Wheels. A very important client of ours. A new contract where we ship their tons of raw material for making bicycles from Russia to their warehouse. Right now we were discussing the best route for the shipment as we didn't have an unloading office anywhere near their warehouse. I was so pissed with Karen's flirting and seductive touches that I wanted to end the meeting. They both came as a relief, an opp
Richard's povWhen I reached my office after my 'Dessert' I was in an amazing mood, smiling like a fool, but soon it turned sour looking at Karen sitting in my office. As soon as she saw me, she came and stood in front of me with her arms crossed in front"Are you being forced to marry her" she askedI got confused, what is she talking about?"Excuse me" I asked."Your fiance. Are you in some kind of arrangement or some business deal that forces you to marry her?" she inquired"What makes you think that?" I asked getting confused."She is sooo not your type. I mean she is so plain and...and... unattractive." She blabbered with frustration. Her hands going around in all directions. How dare she!"You need someone much better than her... someone who could match up to your status and your charisma....she is not capable of standing gracefully beside you in society..." She kept on ramblingI was boiling with rage by now, how dare she speak so low of my mate, my Luna. She doesn't even know
Jia's PovIt was such a wonderful day, the sun had just gone beyond the horizon leaving a pink glow behind. The sand below our feet looked like gold dust, the soft sound of waves washing up the shore soothed our minds. What can you ask for more, walking along with your mate, hand intertwined, radiating sparks, and an alluring ambiance. I felt like this day should never end, we could be like this our whole life. It was so peaceful and pleasant. He placed his hand around my shoulder bringing me closer to him, he kissed my forehead making me blush. When I looked into his eyes, there was a roaring storm of emotions in those grey orbs. He stopped walking and brought me in front of him."I love you my Jia" he said melting my heart."I love you too..."Before I could complete his lips capture mine in the most passionate and loving kiss. It was the best kiss of my life. He cupped my face deepening the kiss, I kissed him back with the same passion to tell him that he is my life and I love him
Vincent's POV “Welcome back Vinci. I hope you are never leaving again for so long.” I turned around when I heard that voice and got the shock of my life.It was Aroha, standing right there in front of me. My heart skipped a beat. She was looking breathtaking in skinny jeans and white crop top. I just didn't know what to do or say or….I was stunned. I was looking at her after two whole years. I had recreated this scene in my head so many times but when we are actually in front of each other, I am so lost. My breathing gets heavy with each passing second. I am scared of my reaction. I don't know what I would do if I touched her. I don't want to come across as a desperate teenager but the pull is so strong. The whole situation is so overwhelming… we both are just looking at each other's eyes, her’s are brimming with tears. She takes a step forward and I take one step ahead. I don't know how long we were just trying to reach each other but when she placed her palm on my chest, I lost a
Two years laterVincent 's povTwo years, two fcuking freaking years, 720 days, has passed and don't expect me to say that they passed away in a Jiffy, because they didn't. I have died every second of it as it passed. You can never imagine what it feels to be away from your mate for 2 years. I wanted to burn that camp down so many times. Even, I had tried to escape from there, these dogs guard it so well. There were two more future Alphas, Kadan and Lucas. They too had just met their mates and had to come here leaving them alone. We have become thick friends, rebels in the eyes of authorities. Hah we made their life hell. We used to trouble them so much thinking they would kick us out but it never happened. And here we are after finishing our training all set to head home and meet our mates.Aroha…I have been literally breathing her in me. Not a moment passed when she was not in my mind. Finally I will meet her. I want to kiss her and love her, mate her just take in her fragrance and
Vincent 's pov“And then you have to go to Alpha training camp for two years also, so better make it fast.” Alpha Richard announced.What the actual fcuk? I had forgotten all about the training camp in all this chaos. That camp will be for two years. Two fcuking, freaking years. 730 Days! How will I be able to go away from my mate for such a long period. It's not possible I won't go. I can't I can't stay away from her for such a long time. And the most freaking part is that you cannot leave that camp in those 2 years. No meeting family, no going out…nothing. Hah! Not going to happen. We hardly know each other and there are so many matters to be discussed. This is so annoying. I still have to tell her about who I am. I don't know how she will react and how long it will take me to convince her… and in middle of all these how can he expect me to go away…that too for two years“I won't go.” I stated as if it was so simple and moved into the forest “Excuse me! What did you say?” he growle
"You must be so happy, right""Yes""Feeling like a hero, on top of the world. Isn't it?""Yes""You won her heart and her people's heart.""Yes" I was beaming with everything Aldrich was commenting on. He was praising me for a change."You became the head of their...oh sorry your tribe." "Yes.""What a great achievement isn't it?""Y..yes" I don't why but this is not going as I was thinking. Why do I smell sarcasm in his words?"So I should give you a standing ovation. Right?""U...umm" this is too far-fetched. He will never give a standing ovation to me."And end this story here itself. Your happy ending. Forever...and they lived happily ever after. Isn't it?""No...no" there he goes to his real intention."Then you will have babies and...oops...you cannot have babies, I forgot. But you will have pups...PUPS. you hear that. You will have pups because you are a Werewolf. A WEREWOLF." He yelled at me as if I am not aware that I am a Werewolf."I hope you remember that and before you
“taronatia kia mate”“taronatia kia mate”“taronatia kia mate”All the people around us were saying the same thing. I don't know what it was, I don't even know what Pania said because during our fight I lost my earpods and now I was unable to understand their language. It was frustrating to not understand at such a crucial time. My hold on Tane was still strong but he had given up on his struggle to free himself after he heard the crowd.I glanced at everyone bringing my eyes back on Aroha with a question. She was still consoling Pania.“Hang him to death. That's what they are saying.” Bro explained taking in my confused glances here and there searching for answers.“What did the girl say?” I furrowed at bro. Richard had left Tane’s father and now he was slumped on the ground all defeated. I felt bad for him. No parent can see their child’s death even if he deserves it.“She asked you to kill him. She better be a widow then be married to him. Her words.” he stated. Well what do you e
Vincent 's pov"You swine" he gritted and pulled my leg making me fall next to him. He pounced on me and pressed his elbow on my neck. He was fast and strong. I should give that credit to him. With one broken knee, he still managed to hold me down with his body weight.Our faces were so close, I could smell his breath. He pushed harder on my neck making my breathing difficult.“Any last wish?” He smirked triumphantly. “Y…yes.” I banged my head on his forehead with full force. His grip on my legs loosened and I kicked his broken knee. He lost all his hold on me and I flipped us with me straddling him on his chest with both his hands under my legs. He struggled badly to free himself. I punched his jaw drawing blood from his nose. I punched him again.“My last wish …is to tell everyone your truth.” I stated.I punched him hard on his heart. He doubled and spluttered blood from his mouth. He was losing his consciousness. I stood up and made him stand on his knees, holding him by his hair
Vincent 's pov "Let me just finish him off, he talks too much." Aldrich said suddenly coming to life. Tane was blabbering to his people that When I die he should not be blamed and something on same lines "Ohh your highness, Aldrich the great. Thank you for gracing us with your presence." I mocked him."Cut the crap human and let me fight him." He commanded "No." I firmly replied to him."Excuse me. I am not asking you. I will fight him." He declared. "Where were you till now, sleeping peacefully right? So go back to sleep. I will handle this. Thank you so much." I scoffed."Human, I…" he started to say something."Alpha's order Al. We will play this fair. We can't reveal ourselves to humans." I stopped him in the middle before he could complete his sentence."Who said anything about revealing ourselves to humans? Just give me control of your body. And you think he will play fair?" He replied "I said I will handle him. He can't beat me." I put my foot down. Why the hell everyone t
Vincent 's pov "Ahh, kei konei koe. I tatari ahau mo koe"(Ahh, here you are. I was waiting for you) Spoke the bastard, glaring at Aroha. His voice and his eyes extruded venom. He is making Aroha a culprit whereas he is nothing less than a cold blooded criminal.My blood was boiling with rage. He had the audacity to humiliate and degrade Aroha in front of all people when he should be castrated and hanged to death"Inaianei kei konei koe me o hoa aroha e whakaatu ana i te kanohi whakama ki a koe, me korero e ahau ki a koe mo nga mea i tupu tata nei i a koe e hora ana i ou waewae mo ratou"(Now that you are here with your lovers showing you shameful faces, let me update you on the recent events that happened while you were spreading your legs for them) I will bloody kill him without any mercy."Me te mea kei a koe te tika ki te whakapae i ahau. Tukua ahau…"(As if you have any right to accuse me. Let me…) Aroha yelled but I stopped her to say anything about our discovery. I don't want
Jia 's povI could not believe it. How could he sell girls of his own tribe? That Tane was a bloody traitor just like Tyler. Tane. Tyler. Traitor. Has ' T ' got anything to do with traitors? I will never trust anyone whose name starts with 'T' from now on. These traitors should not be shown any mercy, they should be killed because they never learn. Those who can cheat their own people cannot be forgiven. They are leeches that suck faith and trust out of us.I feel sorry for Aroha and her people. They are being deceived by their future leader. It's horrifying what he will do once he becomes their head. Girls won't be safe under his rule. I hope Vinci will finish him and if not I will do the honors. I looked at Aroha. She looks devastated. Good she ran away from her marriage to that traitor. I placed my hand on her shoulder to show her support. We will always have her back, she is family now."I am so sorry you had to face betrayal. It hurts more than anything. I can understand." I sym
