The next day…

“Rengoku, you can go on without me. I'll catch up in a bit.”

“Sure.”

She walked around the school for a while until she got tired and sat on a bench.

“Oo, you have really pretty hair.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, my bad, I should have introduced myself. I'm Ayaka Ohtani. But everyone calls me Aya. We're in the same class.” She sat next to her.

“Oh. Sorry, I haven't gotten to know everyone yet.”

“Then I'll be the first one you get to know, Sakata-san.”

“You can call me by my first name or my second one. I prefer it if people don’t call me by my last name because it makes me feel like my dad when you don't.”

“Ok, Tisiphone. I don’t think I've ever seen snow-white hair before. Did you dye it?”

“Nope, it's been this way since the day I was born.”

“That's so cool. How did you get it to be so curly? Mine is always pin-straight; it never wants to stay curly no matter what I do.”

“Mine never wants to stay straight no matter what I do.”

They looked at each other and then laughed.

    Monday…“Sakata, nice to see you again. Are you settling in ok?” Vice pres. asked.“Uh, yeah.”“That's good.” He smiled.“How can a smile look so damn cute?” She thought.“Hey, get your head out of the clouds. We already have a Mr Right.” Tis said.“Put a sock in it.” She pushed Tis to the back of her mind.“Are you feeling ok?” He asked.“Yeah, why?”“Your face is turning red.”“Don't worry, I'm fine.” She blushed even more.“Are you sure?”“Yeah, it must be hot today or something.”“If you say so. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask: have you decided on which club you're going to join?”“Yeah, I’ve already joined one. The kendo club.”“I guess we'll see each other more often then.”“Huh?”“I might not look like it, but I'm also part of that club.”“Handsome and has sword skills. This guy's the full package. Where have you been all my life?”“Will you stop ogling over him already?”“You used to do the same thing with other guys. Now it's my turn.”“Whatever.”“Anyway, see you after school, Saka

    Chapter 26The day before spring break begins...“Oh, you're still here?” Pres asked.“Yeah. Kendo club ended a few minutes ago and I was about to head home.”“Oh.”“Anyway, I should get going. I don't want to keep Rengoku waiting for long. See you after spring break.”She was about to walk out but he stopped her and roughly pinned her against the wall.“Little wolf, aren't you far from home?”“I don’t see how that’s supposed to concern you.”He gripped her neck.“You're in no position to be rude.”“You're not being a gentleman yourself. What do you want?”“Don't think I don't know that you're the princess. All I have to do is mark you and you'll be mine.”“Thanks, but no thanks, you're not my type. I'm not into batshit crazy bastards.”“That mouth of yours isn't doing you any favours. Maybe I should shut you up.”He roughly kissed her, but she bit him hard enough to draw blood.“So that's how you want to play it?”He tightened his grip and used his other hand to unbutton her shirt en

    It's been a week since Twilight went through the transition, about two weeks since she last saw Takumi. Just like other transitioned wolves, she had her wolf's ears and tail in her human form. But unlike other wolves who become much taller or more robust or muscular after transitioning, she hadn't changed much. She was taller now, but she only went from being 4'11 to being 5'0.Currently, she was in her room at the palace. Unlike the packhouse, the palace was where the Alpha family and council members along with their families and the pack elders, resided. Just then Mitsuri burst in.“You're not going to ignore today.”“Mitsu, I...”“I don't care what you have to say. You're going to celebrate the day you officially become an adult.”“Mitsu...”“You're going to your coming-of-age ceremony. Even if I have to drag you there while you're still wearing that ridiculously cute penguin onesie.”“Mitsu...”“You need to come because the whole pack, as well as Alphas, Lunas and Betas from other

    “You sure took your time because I was waiting for you to say that.”He leaned in closer to her...“Well, not exactly, but close enough.”...and kissed her more passionately than he’d ever had. Soon she felt him slide his tongue into her mouth. Instead of fighting for dominance, their tongues were dancing together, both enjoying the feeling. She then took his jacket and tie off and began unbuttoning his shirt. They pulled away to catch their breath.“How was that one?” He asked.“Definitely a good kiss.”He took the rest of his shirt off and then removed the belt of her bathrobe and opened it to reveal what was hiding underneath. His gaze travelled down her body, admiring her naked form. He then unbuckled his belt and took his pants and boxers off while she took the rest of the bathrobe off and made him sit on the edge of the bed.She went on her knees in front of him and got to work. First, she licked his pre-cum and around the tip. And every two seconds she moved her tongue an inch

    The next morning, Twilight woke up before Takumi. She just lay on his chest, drawing circles on it.“You've just woken up and you're already trying to get me excited.” He said, his eyes still closed.“You're awake?”“Yeah, for a while. Anyway, how are you feeling?”“Like my lower half turned into jelly.”He got up, holding her in his arms.“Where are we going?” She asked.“The bathroom to take a bath.”When they finished, Takumi carried her back to her room. He sat her down on the edge of the bed and began dressing her.“I'm perfectly capable of dressing myself, you know.”“And I want to take care of you. It's to make up for what I did to your legs last night.” He lifted her foot and pecked her ankle.While he was getting her dressed, Takumi kept showering her with kisses on her nose, cheeks, and neck.“You do know that we’ve already used the whole pack, right?”“Get your dirty little mind out of the gutters. Who said that's what I wanted to do?” He flicked her forehead.“I wouldn't p

    “Do you still want that 30-page explanation?” He asked after they were done eating.“I bumped it down to a 10-page one.”“It’s a start.”“That reminds me, we need to wash and change the sheets and do a little cleaning up. Wouldn’t want to shock the maids.”“That’s if they haven’t beaten us to it.”When they got to their room, he picked his clothes up and threw them into the basket and went on to whatever else had landed on the floor while she took care of the sheets.“I just realised that if I walk around with all this, it’ll be admitting that we had sex. It won’t make a difference, but it’s weird having people know.”“I think we should get used to it.”“I doubt it’ll happen any time soon.”Afterwards, he took the trash out while she went to the laundry room. On the way, she bumped into her dad. He noticed the sheets and wouldn’t have thought much of it if it weren’t for the mixed scents.“I saw nothing but be safe and careful. Having pups is serious business.”“I’m going to pretend t

    Takumi woke up in a hospital bed.“Finally, you decided to wake up. You tall, dumb, blonde motherfucker, you scared the hell out of me.”“Whoa, slow down. What happened and where am I?”“The pack's hospital. I accidentally marked you. The doctor said I almost punctured an important vein. You were unconscious for a little over a week.”“Then why were you scolding me instead of crying tears of joy?”“The doctor said that you were ok, you just didn't want to wake up is all. So that kind of pissed me off.”“Geez, you say it as if I chose not to. Come closer.”“Ok?”He stared at her face for a bit.“Is there something on my face?” She asked.“No. But were you sleeping here the whole time?”She shifted her gaze to anywhere but his. “No.” She answered.“I know you're lying. I can see the bags under your eyes. Don't tell me that you also haven't been eating properly.”“I tried at least.”“What am I going to do with you?”He then noticed what was on her wrist.“You're wearing the bracelet?”“Y

    “Hey, wake up.” He whispered and gently stroked her face.“Where are we?” She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.“Our room.”“We're back already?”“Yeah. Do you want to use the bathroom first or should I?”“You go on ahead. I'll just end up falling asleep in there.”“Or we could take a bath at the same time.”“No way, not happening. I've had enough of you for one night.”“Suit yourself.”Ten minutes later, he came out wearing nothing but grey flannel pants.“It wouldn't kill you to wear a shirt too, you know.”“It's not anything you haven't seen before.” He winked. “Anyway, you can use the bathroom now.”“Do you mind helping me out a little? My legs are still a little wobbly.”“Sure. I figured as much, so I already had a bath ready for you.”He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.“Need help getting undressed?”“Nah, I got it.”After undressing herself, Takumi set her down in the bathtub.“I'm going to feel it in the morning, aren't I?”“Yep. Sorry about that.”“It's

  • Winning the Alpha's Heart   Hidden facts in Book 1

    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

    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
