Wild Love Chapter One
"Certain animals, including snakes and spiders, have killed a lot of people throughout human history. Because doing so would provide them a survival advantage, some experts think that men and women may have evolved to carry this urge. According to some research, it's simpler to make people who don't seem to have any animal phobias dread snakes and spiders than it is to make them fear dogs or other "friendly" animals." I say, staring at the crowd of students."Despite the fact that they are not everyone's favorite feelings, fear and anxiety are essential for keeping us secure. If the dog down the street bites you, the terror that follows will help you avoid getting bitten again the next time you see the dog, but what if the reaction is excessive? Instead, if you start to dread all dogs, not just the one who bit you, your behavior could be significantly affected, which would be detrimental rather than helpful." I glance at my wrist watch."Shmuel Lissek, PhD, an associate professor of p
Wild Love Chapter Two
Alexandru's Point of ViewI growl, my fangs, my claws, reminding me of what I am, who I am, a person I'm proud of. I breath in, calming down, and I watch my fangs and claw go back in. I grunt, I can feel it, something is coming, something bad is coming, and we have to be ready. I get up from my bed, it creaks beneath me, I need to get a stronger one. I walk to the bathroom, and I stare at my house's makeup. I feel a sense of pride, I built this house, with my hands. I stare at the mirror, Alina insisted I put it here, at least for her sake, I stare at my face, I'm a Lycanthrope, a Lycan, which is basically like a Werewolf, but better, stronger and faster, I'm one of the ones left, my father is a Werewolf, so is my mother, it was unexpected to be the only Lycan in my family's bloodline in the last hundred years. I am the Beta of The Blue Moon Pack, I grew up in New Orleans, so did my Father, and so will my child. New Orleans is my home, the Pack is my family, and I'm sensing threats,
Wild Love Chapter Three
Adaline's Point of View"Daughter!" He yells in glee, and I feel relief, my paranoia fading away."Hi." I smile, relaxing. I've missed him. "How's Mom?""She's here, wants to speak to you." He says, and I wait for her "Adaline, come home." She says, and I freeze."Is something wrong?" I say, but she laughs."No, Adaline, It's our Anniversary next Saturday, and this year, I don't want a delivered gift and video call, I want my daughter, my only child." She says, and I sign."I miss you Mom, but I haven't being home in almost ten years. I left for a reason.""I am not asking you to come back fully, just visit your mother, am I not enough reason?"I roll my eyes "Enough with the guilt trip Mom.""Excellent. I'll see you on Wednesday, bring me a huge cake, and your daddy wants a baseball hat. Love you, bye." She rushes out and cuts the call.I groan in frustration. I don't want to go back, I don't want to go home, but it's been eight years, and it's time to return to New Orleans, just for
Wild Love Chapter Four
CHAPTER FOURALEXANDRU'S POV"I found you a mate." Rick, the Alpha says, clapping me on the shoulder, and I try not to stiffen.I ignore him, taking a seat, and he laughs. Pack hierarchy is by power, strength and bravery, but I am the strongest member of the pack, well one of the strongest, but being a leader is not something I crave, I'll rather follow, but I was made the Beta. Despite being stronger, I am pretty docile when it comes to matters of command, even on the ones Rick and I contrast, he's the Alpha. "Trouble is coming." Rick says, with his wife, Faye, on his right."I felt it too." I say, my voice hoarse."We all did." Zach, the Omega, nods."We've got to be ready, for whoever it is." Faye says."Camille, can you gather the witches and make another protection spell, no one gets into New Orleans without our knowledge, and no one gets out." Rick says, and Camille nods."It won't be enough. Guards should be situated everywhere. We all know who is coming." I say"Romania?" Pet
Wild Love Chapter Five
Alexandru's Point of ViewI feeling anger radiate all over me. I stare at her, and I see a stranger, I don't know who she is, I don't know who I'm staring at. The Adele I know is no longer here, she's gone, and it breaks my heart but there's nothing I can do."I am not your fucking mate Alexandru!" She yells, and the sting of rejection slams into me.I stare at her, she looks furious. "I am tired and done with this, with you. I'm not your mate. I've never been, you need to get it out of your thick Lycan skull, I am not yours, and you're not mine, you've never been.""Ah." I muse.The party has stopped, everyone is looking at is, paying attention, everyone is looking at her.I stretch my hand, urging her to take it "Let's talk, away from everything, just you and me.""No." She yells, and I grit my teeth. "Don't you understand? Listen to me! There's no you and me. I don't want to speak with you. I don't want to be near you, be with you, I want nothing to do with you. I need to be left a
Wild Love Chapter Six
ALEXANDRU'S POINT OF VIEW"I'll move to a bigger place, maybe a condo, with Cyp and we'll spend our honeymoon in Paris, then France, and I'll have children in a couple of years. I have a life. I have a plan, and I'll be damned if I let you ruin it. Who do you think you are? I don't even know you anymore, trying to ruin my life because it doesn't fit your description of my supposed family. Damn you, all of you. I have come this far. I, not you, I was alone and I toiled and I worked really hard to get here, and here you are, trying to belittle it, belittle all I've worked for because it's not what you wanted. How dare you?"She's heaving, angry, and I'm staring at her, feeling sympathetic, but angry nonetheless."You want to build a life away from us? From your actual family?" I say, furious."Oh my God! You are not my family, Cyp and Zoe are my family." She yells, and I take a step back, casting my eyes skyward."Tell me if this sounds familiar." I say, and she stares at me. "You feel
Wild Love Chapter Seven
Aurora Point of View"Perhaps you don't know why you feel like this, or you've always been like this. Chasing the notion of a home, not knowing where it's supposed to be, you think you're supposed to find it in yourself, but you feel a mess. The loneliness is everywhere, even in the midst of people as they blur into one. It's a sadness that always return. A familiar grief that has made a home in your ribcage. You are lonely, torn between who you are, and who you want to be -- you want to be a Wanderer, want to fleet and drift, but you want to be loved, you want to have a home. You don't know how these two can work together."How dare he? Talk to me about loneliness, about emptyness, how dare he?I pull my black hair into a bun, shaking my head, trying to get rid of all the thoughts of Alexandru. I shouldn't have gone back hom -- to New Orleans, it brought nothing, but pent up thought, I still can't believe I exploded at him, but he had it coming. I can't believe I kissed him, but that
Wild Love Chapter Eight
Adaline Point of View"When I left home, none of them came after me, not even my parents. I appreciate that, but they should have come after me, should have cared. I was deeply hurt, Love, they say, is a double edged knife, I hurt him, hurting myself in the process. Perhaps one time I loved Luc, I'd have danced to my parent's tune, but not now, I'm doing what Luc doesn't have the balls to. I'm living, only for him to belittle the way I live, telling me I feel empty and lonely. How incredulous.""I'm so sorry, babe." Zoe smiles, sadly. "I think it's brave of you to have come this far. He's an asshole, who didn't have much faith and hope in you, but you survived, living beautiful. It's enviable and I love you, Cyprus loves you, and that's enough."It is enough.--"The psychology of illusion involves understanding how the brain perceives and interprets sensory information to create the experience of reality. Illusions can be visual, auditory, tactile, or even cognitive, and they can occ
