All three turned their heads to her.“You guys are hilarious.”“Whoa, sexy mama alert.” Out of nowhere Ichiya appeared in front of her. “Hi there, I'm Ichiya. You know, Ice Beauty, you should keep an eye out for elves with ropes and a blindfold.”“Why?”“Because I asked Santa for you this Christmas.”“Ichiya, how many times have I told you that's no way to speak to a lady? I apologize for my idiotic friend's actions. My name is Keito Sakamoto a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, young miss.”“No need to be so formal with me.” She laughed awkwardly.“So, guys, this is Twilight. I'm sorry that Hansuke couldn't come, he had important stuff to deal with.”“Is Tak-kun your boyfriend because he sure does talk about you a lot.”“No, he's not.” She blushed.“Really? Then how come you live together? Wait, are you one of those 'working' girls that live with men so they can have their way with you anytime they want?”“Ichiya! I'm sure that's not the case. But I'm interested in finding out what
“Twilight...”“...”“Twilight...”“Mmm.”“Other half, stop ignoring me and get your lazy ass up! It's already 11 a.m!”“What the... Tis?”“Uh duh. As far as I'm concerned, I'm your only wolf.”“Yeah yeah yeah, where have you been? I thought I lost you forever. That or you decided to be a bitch and ignore me.”“It was a little bit of the second option, but I was just resting. It took a while for me to heal and get back to full strength.”“Wait, when did you get back?”“Last night. I would have said something, but I didn't because you seemed a little preoccupied with dear future husband. I didn't have the heart to disturb you two. But I would have if you went any further. This wolf ain't ready to be a mama wolf yet.”“It's not what you think.”“Where have I heard that before?” Tis rolled her eyes.“It's... I don't... I...”“Honey, we talked about this. Think about your words carefully before you speak.”“I don't know if I like him like that.”“Quick question. Can you die from constipat
“Papa Wolf?” He grabbed her and hugged her so tightly that it felt like her organs were being squashed. When he let go, he took the rolled-up newspaper from his pocket and whacked her head with it.“Why?”“That was for making me worried. I had all the scouts look for you without rest for days. You’re going to give me grey hair one day.”“Ok, I admit I deserved that. It was a dick move on my part. I’ll apologise to them when I come back.”“I know what happened.”“I think it's best if you come in and sit down so we can talk about this. Otherwise, the neighbours will think that you're a grown man trying to pimp out an under-aged girl.”They sat in the kitchen.“Why am I here too?” Takumi thought.“When I heard about what happened, I wanted to pick up where you left off in beating up Trey. But his father took care of that, I put Takeshi in charge and immediately set out to look for you.”“But how did you find me so quickly?”“Gummy Bear, I'm your dad. I'd know your scent anywhere. Even if
“Takumi, honey, who is this young lady?” His mom asked. “And this gentleman?”Twilight silently thanked the Moon Goddess that she wasn't wearing her pyjamas was instead jeans and a hoodie.“Mom. Dad. This is Twilight and this is her dad, Mr Sakata.”“Son, is there a reason why they're both here? Did you do something we should know about?” His dad had a serious look on his face.“No no no, she's just a very small friend who's tutoring me. Her dad dropped her off and I invited him in for a bit.”“Speaking of, I should get going.” Twilight's dad got up. “Call me when you're done.”“Ok, Papa.”“It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr and Mrs Rengoku.” They nodded.“But honey, your grades are already good. Why would you need a tutor?”“I know, but I just want to be sure I get a scholarship to a good university. It's never too early to prepare for my future.”“That's my boy, working hard like your old man.”“Right.” His mom knew that something wasn't right. “Well, as long as she's not your girlfr
It's been a whole year since Twilight and Takumi lived together and she did visit her dad sometimes. During that time, Tis kept nagging her about you know what. They also ended up getting each other weird birthday gifts. Takumi got Twilight black, fluffy handcuffs and she got him a bunch of porno mags. Mostly so that he'd stay out of her hair...pants.Right now, she was on her way home from another day at work. When she got home, she went straight to bed, not bothering to talk to Takumi.“Hey, what's up?” He asked.“It's been a long day and I just want to sleep.”“Are you sure? You're not one to miss out on food. I'm sure your dad will kill me if he found out that I let you skip dinner.”“It's ok, it's not like I'll tell him. I just want to sleep.”“If you say so.”A few minutes later, he climbed into bed. “What are you doing?” She asked.“I thought you'd feel lonely sleeping by yourself, so I decided to join you. Is it ok if I cuddle you?”“Sure, why not? I'm too tired to fight.”He
“Don't let him fool you. We have pillows in the middle as a barrier.”“Too bad but maybe it's a good thing. Taking care of you was bad enough, I'm not ready to handle mini versions of you.”“You got that right. No offence, Princess, but you were a little monster. Sometimes I wondered if you were the devil himself.”“Takeshi!”“What?”“Don't you have somewhere else to be?”“Fine, I'm going. Please don't devour my soul.”“You don't have to worry about that happening. If you think I'm bad, he's worse. I don't want to deal with mini versions of him.”“By the way, how come Takeshi always calls you princess?” Takumi asked. “I've never heard him call you anything else. And wouldn't your dad be the one calling you that?”“Oh, she didn't tell you?” Kaido asked. “That's because she is one. Her father is the wolf emperor. So, it's natural for him to refer to her that way.”“Yeah, even though I keep telling him that he doesn't have to, but he insists on it anyway. I'm not into formalities or hono
She pecked his lips and got off.“You can open your eyes now.”“Was that it?”“Yeah.”“But...”“Hey, you promised you wouldn't complain or want more.”“You planned this, didn't you?”“This is what happens when you think with your dick instead of your brain.”“Aren't you the one who started this? And you didn't even finish it.”“I got you those porno mags for a reason. There's also this thing called a bathroom. Go and jerk yourself off in there.”“And here I was hoping you'd jerk me off.”“Maybe in another universe. Wait a minute, aren't you the one who also didn't finish what they started a while back?”“I did say that was your punishment.”“Then consider this your punishment.”“You're so mean.” He pouted.But she wasn't listening and seemed to be in deep thought.“Are you listening?”“Huh? What was that?”“Are you thinking about me that much?”“Yeah sure, let's go with that.” She rolled her eyes.“But seriously, what's up?”“Nothing.”“You know; I can tell something's up. You've been
It was the next morning when Takumi woke up. He carefully got up so he wouldn't wake her up. When he was ready for school, he kissed her forehead before leaving. For a moment there, he thought he saw a smile on her face.She woke up to someone stroking her hair. She was lying down, her head resting on Takumi's lap. She turned to face him without getting up.“How long was I out?” She asked while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.“The whole day. It's almost five.”“I don't feel like going to work tomorrow.”“Maybe you should. It might help you take your mind off things.”“Maybe. But I should eat first before deciding on anything. I think it's your turn to cook.”“On it.”They ate in silence; she was still obviously bothered by what had happened. When they were getting ready for bed, Takumi came up to her. He cupped her face and kissed her. She gave him a confused look.“For someone so smart, you can be a real idiot sometimes.” He kissed her forehead, “You never listen to me...” Then her
1) The original title was “Winning the Luna’s Heart” and it’s a little obvious why I changed it ;)2) I started and finished the book when I was 16 (2019) on wattpad but took it down cuz it was a little cringe. It was only this year (2022) that I got a proper editor and made a lot of great changes3) Originally, Matako was never part of the story at all. They were going to break up but it was going to be caused by Takumi coming home late and drunk and then accidentally calling Yuri's name while he was having sex with Twilight. Yuri was who he was supposed to cheat on Twilight with. But I changed my mind.4) Yuri was never supposed to be nice to Twilight. She was actually supposed to try to steal Takumi from Twilight hence the reason for the first fact.5) Yuri was also straight and the engagement was supposed to be broken up because she got pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby6) Takumi was supposed to get a vasectomy but I realised that it’s fiction so I decided to play by my own rules
Hi there, sorry about that heart-breaking ending but I couldn’t resist because a happily ever after is cliché. But good news! Book 2 (The Pains of Guilt) will be coming soon so be sure to be on the lookout for that and follow me on Instagram (@otakuhashira3004) or TikTok (nony_m01) for other exclusive content such as bonus chapters of what happens afterwards, my weird writing process, previous book covers and links to merch and the book on sites such as Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Apple books, etc in ebook, paperback and hardcover formats. I also added a bonus chapter after this one ;)Here's a little preview of book 2’s blurb:Takumi had once won his Alpha’s heart but lost it in the end.When she left, he didn’t expect to see her again 3 years later and with a child.Despite his efforts at trying to get through to her, she blatantly refuses to acknowledge the bond they still have.Not to mention, he has a bit of competition.Can he win his Alpha’s heart once more or has he lost it forever
When she got home, she went straight to the bathroom before Takumi could say anything. After a few minutes, she got out with a bandaged hand.“Sorry about the mirror.” She told him. “Before I rushed in, did you need to tell me something?”“No. I just wanted to ask if you were alright.”“Oh, ok.” She nodded in understanding. She then went to sit down and huffed her cheeks.“Rough day?”“You have no idea.”“Was it necessary to use the mirror as a punching bag though?”“Believe me, I was doing you a favour. And I'll answer your question with another question. When were you going to tell me about you and Matako? Or was I never supposed to find out?” She showed him the pictures.“I...”“Say it isn't true. Please.”He said nothing.“So, it is. You know, I was so sure that it wasn't and that it was just a misunderstanding. But I guess it was just wishful thinking. If you had come clean, I would've somewhat understood, but you didn't and instead kept it from me. And don't you dare try to chan
Week 5She had that dream for the second time, but this time, there was the sound of a baby crying. Something told her to follow it, but she couldn't tell where it was coming from.When she woke up, she found herself being cradled in a pair of arms and was faced with a worried-looking Takumi.“Are you ok? You kept calling me in your sleep. I tried to wake you up, but you wouldn't.”“Yeah, it was just a dream.”A few days later...She went to meet up with Hansuke.“You know; you've been looking less like yourself these days,” Hansuke said.“That's what I wanted to talk to you about but promise me that you'll keep it to yourself.”“Ok. You have my word.”She went ahead and told him about the dream and everything that happened afterwards.“So that's why you haven't been yourself lately. But do you honestly believe that that dream is true? I mean, you know him as well as I do, probably even better, and that doesn't sound like something he'd do.”“I know and I don't believe that it's true
Week 4“Do I look ok?” She asked.“What do you mean?”“I can't help but feel a little bloated today and I just want to know if I'm imagining things or not.”“Now that you mention it, you do look different. But I can’t put my finger on it. Oh, I know. You look more beautiful today.”“I guess it's just me then” She snorted.“Are you feeling better?”“Yeah. Can we go get cupcakes for breakfast?”“I don’t know if we should.”“C’mon, it’s just one or two.”“Then let's go fill you up with cupcakes.”Later...“I wonder how just one or two turned into five.”“And I wonder how you missed the sixth one.”“What am I going to do with you?” He chuckled. “At least don’t go on a cupcake diet.”“I’m tempted to do the opposite.”“I wouldn’t put it past you.”He sat her on his lap and kissed her.“Wait, I have a better idea.” She said.“Which is?”“Wait for me in our room and you’ll find out.” She whispered in his ear.A few minutes later, she joined him, and Takumi's jaw dropped when he saw what she w
Week 3“Am I still going to sleep on the couch?”“No, I think you've learned your lesson.”“Awesome. Are you free today?”“Only for the next hour and a half. Did you want to do something?”“There's someone I want you to meet. She's a friend that I met yesterday.”“Really?”“Yeah, I'm sure you'll like her too.”“If you say so.”“Why do I have a bad feeling about this?” Tis asked.“You're not the only one.”He took her to a nearby café and there was a girl already waiting for them. She was a 5'5 ravenette with emerald eyes and well... let's just say, she had way more going on with her chest than Twilight. In short, she was every guy's dream girl. To make matters worse, she was the same girl from Twilight's dream.“This is Matako, the friend I was telling you about. Matako, this is Twilight.”“Nice to meet you,” Matako said.“Same here.” She replied.An hour later...“Well, I have somewhere to get to in half an hour, so I'll get going. It was nice meeting you.” Twilight got up to leave.
Week 2The rain was getting her soaked, head to toe. She looked at Takumi and he was too. But he also looked upset. She tried to ask him what was wrong, but no words came out.“I'm sorry.” He said. “I can't do this anymore.”He walked away with another girl by his side, and she had a smug look on her face. She tried to go after him but couldn't move either. It was as if something was holding her back. She tried calling out to him, but her words only came out in hoarse whispers that were drowned out by the rain. He turned to say something, but she couldn't hear it over the sound of thunder or her own crying. She couldn't tell whether her face was wet from the rain or her tears.She woke up startled. It took some time for her heart rate to slow down and return to normal. There was a knock on the door. She got up to answer it and there was Hansuke.“Hey. What's up?”“Are you all better today?”“Yeah, and you could've just called if you wanted to know.”“If you were anyone else, I would'v
Week 1The next morning...“How was sneaking out to spend the night with Ichiya?”“Were you stalking me?”“No. And one piece of advice, if you want to do it again without me knowing, then wash off his scent before you come back.”“I knew I was forgetting something. Are you going to lecture me or whatever?”“No, that's your parents' job. I don't have any right to keep you two apart. At least tell me when you're going out, it saves you the trouble of sneaking out. Also, when are you going to tell him?”“I don't know.”“You should do it before you accidentally mark him. Believe me, it'll happen, and chances are higher during a full moon and when you’re in heat. Remember, you're an Oracle and because of your position, just like me, he has to move to the pack. We don't have options like other wolves. Speaking of heat, did you get those herbs from one of the healers before we left?”“Yeah, and do they have any side effects?”“No, all they do is mask most of the scent of your heat and help w
The second year also went by without a hitch.Kaido's daughter, Etsuko, came into her office. She was away on Oracle training after finding out that she had the gift. Being an Oracle is being the Moon Goddess's messenger.“Bitch, I'm back. Missed me?”“Bitch, please. You know I did. How was Oracle training?”“Hey, there's something...” Youhei came in but stopped when he saw Etsuko. “No. No no no. I'm not doing this. Twilight and my sister were already enough; I can't handle three crazies.”“You can say whatever you want, but I know that you missed me.”“As if I, or anyone for that matter, would miss the third member of the trio of troublemakers. Somehow, I always get roped into your madness even though I didn't want to be involved in any way so no I didn't at all miss you. I'll come back later.” He said before leaving.“He definitely missed me. Anyway, about the training. Let's just say that I never want to go through that again.”“That bad?”“No kidding, imagine not being able to see
