Whatever patience Twilight had been maintaining up till that point had completely vanished, she snapped. And when she did, she couldn't stop herself from half-shifting (which just made someone look like a wolf humanoid and only ever happened when a wolf was highly aroused or extremely pissed but not enough to shift) or stop Tis from taking full control and attacking Yui.
She ripped Yui off Trey and pinned her to the ground with her extended claws sinking into her shoulders, blood began dripping and she left two large claw marks across Yui's face in the process.
Tis ripped Yui's arm apart at the wrist, elbow and shoulder, her shoulder and elbow popped, and her wrist made a disgusting ripping sound. Tis then dragged Yui's face across the pavement, which dislocated her jaw and fractured her nose, but not without making loud cracking sounds.
The injuries were most definitely going to leave her jaw disfigured and with ugly scars. She was about to bite a huge chunk out of Yui's other shoulder, but not before Trey managed to get her off. Tis then broke free from Trey's hold. Before he knew it, she had a steel pipe in her hands. He didn't have time to think about where and how she got it and he sure as hell didn't want to think about what she'd do with it.
He managed to wrestle the pipe out of her hands despite her continuous attacks on him. He couldn't fend her off and earned himself a bite on his shoulder, a gash on his right eye and a twisted wrist.
Her dad and the others came outside to see why there was so much noise outside. Takeshi was the first to react when they realised what was going on and rushed to get her off Trey. He was able to do so but being the strong wolf that she was and the fact that she had half-shifted, he had trouble restraining her. After Takeshi and her dad couldn't get her off, Alpha Jace and his Beta interfered, and they managed to force her to the ground. She was trashing around, but they finally managed to tie her up.
They had to use thick chains to make sure she wouldn't break free. She had two tied around her wrists and one attached to the equally thick iron collar around her neck and was chained to a reinforced iron post. After an hour of trying to free herself, she was finally tiring herself out, but she was still seeing red though.
It took a few more hours for her to exhaust herself completely and shift back to her human form before falling asleep. By the time she had woken up, it was already nighttime. She was still pissed but not enough to cause more harm. After what seemed like forever, they finally released her. She only sat there not making a move at all, just staring down at nothing.
Her dad then came up to her and bent down to her level.
“Gummy bear, why did you do that?”
The disappointment she was expecting wasn't there. Instead, there was genuine concern.
“I couldn't control Tis.” She said with obvious guilt and told him everything from when she found out that Trey was her mate and what happened in the living room to when they were in the garden, all while fighting back tears that threatened to appear. Her dad said nothing and just took her in his arms to cuddle her and stroke her hair. They stayed like that until he left to give her space.
Not long after, Trey came up to her. His tall self towering over her.
“How dare you attack Yui, you...”
“Don't you dare...” She said quietly, but he heard her.
“What? Who do you think you...”
“No, the real question is who the fuck do you think you are? You have your entire life to be an asshat; why not take a day off? I mean what kind of man flirts with a slut in front of his mate?”
He was taken aback by her sudden outburst. She looked up at him and he saw that there was no love in those eyes, not a single trace, just terrifying anger and a tinge of hatred.
“Since you obviously lack the intelligence to figure it out, I'll tell you. Only little boys who want to make up for what you lack down there. I’m sure you’re aware of the phrase “every rose has its thorns” and unfortunately for you, you provoked the deadly ones to come out.”
“Listen here, sweetheart, I'm not the type of guy who wants a mate. I don't want to get into the same pussy for the rest of my life. Besides, even if I wanted a mate, I'd want one who's sexy, feminine and knows her place. Only a woman with those traits is fit to be my mate. You may look like an angel, but you're just a little girl who'll never be any of those things and, honestly, I'd rather stick with a slut. That being said, I, Trey Hashimoto, reject you, Tisiphone Sakata, as my mate.”
She couldn’t deny that the physical pain from his rejection was unbearable, but she didn’t let it show so as to not give him the satisfaction. She didn’t give a damn about the emotional part because she hadn’t gotten a proper chance to decide if she wanted him or not.
“You don't like me? Hah, the feeling's mutual. You don't think I'm beautiful? That's just your opinion and guess what, it doesn't matter to me, because I know my worth. Having good looks doesn’t mean you get to treat others however you please, so you have absolutely no right to bitch at me for not being a so-called perfect fit. Honestly, it’s sad that you think I ever wanted you or that you're worth me shedding any tears over. So, if you don’t want me, fine. You’re not a prize yourself so I accept your rejection.” She turned on her heel to leave. “Oh, and one more thing.” She walked back to him and looked him in the eye. “Fuck you.”
She then shifted into Tis, who took off into the forest as fast as she could. She kept running and soon enough she was out of the pack's territory. She didn't stop, not even when the branches and sharp rocks kept clawing and scraping at her fur. Her fur, which used to look silvery and shiny under the moonlight, was now matted with blood. She was losing a lot of it and fast, but she didn't care. She reached a road that led to the city. She was now struggling to walk along the side of the road and just breathing became exhausting.
Before she realised it, she passed out on the side of the road, her unconscious self barely breathing and tears forming in the corners of her eyes. The last thing she saw was the moon shining so beautifully.
When she woke up, she was a little disoriented but knew that she was in an unfamiliar place.“Hey, girl, looks like you finally decided to wake up.” A gentle male voice said.Confusion and panic filled her mind, but they were quickly replaced with a little relief when she realised that she was still in her wolf form and thanked the Moon Goddess that she hadn't shifted back. She wanted to get up but felt pain all over. The scent of the stranger also helped calm her down. Tis hadn’t said anything yet, so she wasn’t sure if this was supposed to be her second chance mate. But she was sure of the feelings she got after catching his scent.She saw that she had a few bandages on her body and paws. She was also covered with a blanket on a couch. A hand was gently stroking her fur and she liked the mini-explosions that popped up wherever and whenever the hand made contact. She was now definitely sure that this was her mate.“I didn't think you'd wake up anytime soon, you were hurt pretty badly
Her eyes met familiar grey ones. Before she could react, he pinned her down. Using both hands to pin hers on either side of her head.“Who are you and how did you get in here?” He asked.“Well, I'm the so-called large dog you found and the person who's going to kick your ass if you don't get off.” She said while something kept poking her, a shade of pink made its way to her ears. At that moment, she was glad that she was the only one with a heightened sense of smell.“Now, if you don't want to lose your balls, would you grant me the pleasure of getting your perverted self off me? I'm naked, you're half-naked and I'm pretty sure your dick is poking my thigh.”“Oh right, sorry.” He let go of her and she sat up to stretch her arms. “Aren't you going to grab a blanket or something?”She shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed, one leg over the other with her arms crossed facing him.“There's no point if you already saw everything. It's not like covering up will erase your memory. And the
“I know I'm attractive and all but are you that eager to sleep with me?”“Funny but no. You're sleeping on the couch.” She handed him a pillow and blanket.“Are you seriously kicking me out of my own room?”“Well, I'm sure as hell not sleeping in the same bed as you in this form, I can't shift into a wolf after being stuck that way for so long, and you seem like a gentleman.”“Fair point. But you can't be serious, right?”That night Takumi found himself on the couch tossing and turning in his sleep. He couldn't get comfortable. He had enough of this and got up. Without being aware of it, his legs carried him to his room. He got into bed and was finally able to sleep comfortably.The next morning Twilight woke up with her face buried in Takumi's chest, his arms wrapped around her and their legs tangled together. She kicked him off the bed, her foot was inches above from almost destroying his manhood. Takumi woke up on the floor with a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked up and found w
Takumi got back a little late again. They ate dinner in awkward silence. Well, it was only awkward for one of them. Twilight was avoiding his gaze the entire time.While she was washing the dishes, she felt arms wrap around her. “What are you doing?”“Isn't it obvious?” He rested his head on hers.“Ok, but why?”“Is it weird that I also don't know?”“Definitely.”“Should I let go?”She thought about it. It was weird, but at the same time, she was enjoying his warmth. She wasn't sure if she wanted him to let go, whether it was now or ever. “I'll take your silence as a no.” He buried his nose in her hair and took a long sniff.“Hmm, strawberries.” He thought.She continued to wash the dishes while he held her the entire time, not wanting to let her go. When she was done, he let her go and she turned to face him, about to say something, but he beat her to it.“Before you probably strangle me, I brought you this.” He handed her a tub of cookies and cream ice cream.“I think I'll let you
She stared at the countless shopping bags that lay across the floor, not sure what to say.“Surprise! I got you new clothes.”“Whoa... Uhm. You didn't have to.”“Of course, I did. I couldn't let you wear my shirts and shorts forever.”“Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they weren't cheap at all.”“Don’t worry about it. I just got you a few basic things like jeans, shirts, dresses and hoodies. There are pyjamas too. I wasn’t sure about underwear, so you’ll have to come with me to sort that out and shoes too, since I only got one pair because I wasn’t sure about the size. Sure, I had to blow a good portion of my savings, but I honestly didn’t mind, and you don’t have to pay me back. C'mon try them on.”“I can't accept this.”“Yes, you can. Think of this as a thank you gift.”“Thank you for what?”“For basically taking care of me. You always make me breakfast, lunch and dinner, wash my clothes and iron my uniform and many other things.” He ruffled her hair.“Now you're making me sound like a hou
Twilight and Takumi were lying on the couch, watching a movie.“Are you ok?” He asked.“Why?”“You seem a little sad these days.”“It’s probably boredom.”“Is it possible that you’re homesick? I remember reading somewhere that wolves are social animals.”“I do miss home.”“I’m not trying to chase you away, but why don’t you go back?”“I can’t shift yet.”“I can take you.”“How?”“I’ll come up with something.”“You don’t know where to take me.”“You can give me directions.”“I don’t want to cause you more trouble.”“I don’t mind.”“It’s fine.”“Ok. Have you called your dad?”“With what phone?”“The same you always pass by in the kitchen. You also could’ve asked to use mine. Why does it feel like you’re trying to come up with excuses?”“I’m not.”“I don’t believe you.”“Then that’s a you-problem.” She snapped.She tried to get up and leave but he took hold of her wristed.“Wait, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be pushy, but I’ll stop.”She sat down and was quiet for a while.“I don’t know i
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
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
