“I’m tired. Let’s stop by here for a while,” Reina pleaded at me.My eyes wandered around as Reina and I rested at the base of a massive root system. Some of the trees around us withered, rising out of the earth to brush against the sky. Sunlight danced across fern fronds and glistened off of morning dew. Meanwhile, just meters away from us was a quiet crystal clear stream. The water flow had a perfect sequence as it rushed across the rough rocks.“Can we just stay here forever?”I shot Reina a small smile when I turned to her. She was beautiful. Her silky fur shone as if she rolled over a thousand silver glitters. “Of course, girl. Here in the forest, no one’s going to harm us both. No one will tell us what to do and what not to do. We are free to decide for ourselves. We’ll only do fun stuff—running, hunting, playing in the streams, and sleeping until the sun is high again.”“Well, th
DaphneAfter I almost died yesterday at the hands of the wolf Gary, Alpha Calle had never spoken with me nor given me instructions to go to his office. But a few minutes ago, after I finished eating dinner, Beta Degen informed me that our Alpha was demanding my presence somewhere in the forest, rather than in his office.I wondered why.Maybe he was so furious about my ‘defiance’ that he wanted me to punish—or kill—in silence and out of the other’s knowledge. Although, according to Beta Degen, the Alpha had never killed a member of the pack before.Perhaps I'd be the first since I was the first one to break his orders—that was according to Beta Degen as well.“This is impossible
I wanted Gary to live as long as possible. Because I needed him, his death wasn't good for me. First off, I could utilize his ability to easily defeat my enemies if I could persuade him to join my pack. Second, if ever he fought back, I could send him into the dungeon to force him to provide information.However, due to his disrespectful attack that almost killed Daphne , I didn't think twice to roast him with my own hands and proudly trod on his frigid ashes.It didn't imply that I had any sympathy for the stubborn little wolf, Daphne . Even if the Moon Goddess led her to me, it was ultimately up to me to decide what to do. I would reject her if she still didn't qualify to be the future Luna. Who required a Luna, by the way? I could expertly run my packs by myself.However, because I got the opp
With all the shits that happened these past few days, I couldn’t deny that all I wanted—needed—for now, was a good night's sleep with Suzette beside me. The way her seductive gazes explored, the way she touched my wrist, and slid her fingers down to my hand were some evidence of her longing for me. I pulled her closer, displaying how badly I craved for her too. But regardless of how I liked to drag her up to my bedroom, I said, “Seeing you made my day, kitten. But right now, I have an important thing to do. See you tomorrow?” She frowned. “At past three in the morning? Is Beta Degen going with you?” I shook my head and smirked down at her. “I’m going out alone. The man is asleep, and when I return, I bet he’s still sleeping.” Her full lips parted to speak but I dipped a kiss on them before separating myself from her. *** My wolf, Dark, loved to roam the forest, especially in the middle of the night. That’s why, even though the trip to the Dark Vale pack was more than two hours by
When I returned to the pack borders, it was already near dawn. A few of the guards were on their routine patrol for any intruder trying to get inside the perimeter.My thoughts were already coiled in a spiral. Somehow the thought of Daphne being the mate of my rival caused an intense ache in the pit of my heart. This mate bond was playing with my head and it definitely ruined my unhinged plans for victory.I was supposed to reject her the moment she sensed our connection, but since I learned that she was possibly mated to my enemy, it seemed that the plans for rejection would be buried in the deepest pit of the woods.She couldn't be with anyone else. If I had to lock her inside this pack so Lennon wouldn't be able to see her, so be it.'I know that you're gonna have a change of heart about Daphne . But I don't expect it to come so soon!' Dark mused. 'You want the girl as much as I do. You just won't admit it!'"Shut. Up,” I gritted.Before this little stubborn she-wolf walked i
It had been a week since Alpha Calle or Beta Degen crossed paths with me in the packhouse. I was not complaining though that finally their focus was shifted to other stuff. Away from the Alpha's sight was a breather after that serious—even lethal—training in the woods.I couldn't forget how shocked I was the next morning when I woke up in my own bed dressed in a fresh cotton top and pants. I wasn't sure who brought me to my room since the staff that regularly attended to me had no idea, either.Could it be Alpha Calle? Was he the one who dressed me up without my knowing?All I knew was my muscles were in ache. It was as though I'd been hit against the rock countless times. But now, I was healing perfectly, and with my newly discovered powers, I was experimenting with a lot of stuff on my own. The power to move so quickly or move things without touching them had remained in me, but I never paid any special attention to it.This made me look back to my younger years. I still recalled ho
For a second, I couldn't think of anything other than just accept the truth he was trying to bring out of my mouth. There was definitely something very special in this man which was unique to being an Alpha. Although I never liked the status of these Alphas because they had always been dominating and asserting their power over others, he seemed to be not so intimidating after all. My mind was definitely doing tricks on me because he was just a stranger who obviously rescued me and saved my life twice, but still, I should be more careful than giving him the status of being a very close person whom I trusted sincerely from my heart."No, I am not lying. Why would I lie to you, by the way?" I tried to be more confident and unhinged by his questions aimed at me."Because, my little wolf, I can feel your heartbeat. I can look through your eyes and soul." His amber eyes turned darker from all the intensity he was radiating off to me. "So tell me, what makes your face go sour as if you've dr
“By the way, Alpha Calle said you’ve lost your wolf?” Miss Amelia asked me out of the blue. “Mind if you tell me what happened?” My cheeks burnt from the embarrassment of the question she asked me. Good thing Alpha Calle wasn’t in my room anymore because I didn’t want him to see how vulnerable I was when the topic was about my wolf. Not having a wolf of mine was my biggest weakness which ruined half of my life till now. "No, I don't have a wolf. I mean, I shifted once, but she never came back." Although my voice cracked, I smiled at her. Her eyes softened. As she lifted my chin and our eyes met, she smiled widely. "That's fine. Then you are definitely someone special," she replied in a sweet voice. "How can I be special? I am just a person with no identity. A rogue's daughter,” I muttered, veering to the other side of the room. She ambled after me and sat on the edge of the bed beside me. "No, hun. Wait, let me tell you an inspiring tale. It's about Aliyah. Do you know her
