I couldn’t fathom her words for a few moments before I dumbly repeated, “Enigma?” Georgia nodded. Her gaze shifted to the door, then she lowered her voice. “Don’t tell anyone I told you this, please. But since you are the new luna and I regularly do clinical check-ups of Alpha, I thought you should know.”
I vaguely nodded. My mind was preoccupied with the new revelation. After I bid goodbye to the doctor and came out of the chamber, I walked slowly towards the Alpha’s residence. Some pack members hurried from one part of the courtyard to the other and I could hear the hustle and bustle of daily life, outside where everyone else lived. My gaze was fixed on the wall that was built high and sturdy around the residence and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was for the Alpha’s protection or the pack members.
“I wanted an explanation.” I don’t elaborate my answer, however, I make sure my gaze remains unwavering. His golden eyes narrow slightly. He does move from where he stands in front of the door. I notice his jaw clench, his nostrils flare slightly. I can’t help but admire his sharp features and how it rivals his rough nature, his angry personality. I tilt up my chin slightly, not one to back down or cower. I’m an alpha, even if I am slightly less powerful, but I am not useless. I cross my arms to hide my sweaty palms and lean against the casement, the cold air hits my nape, creating goosebumps on my skin. “So you harass him? It was your father who struck the deal,” he gritted through his clenched teeth as he strode forward, prowled towards me like a predator. I actually felt like the prey. I could only hope that it did
I watched the doors close behind him with a heavy thud, a sound that sent a jolt to my chest. I stared at the closed doors for how long I had no idea, maybe not until I felt an itchiness of dried cum on my inner thighs or the distinct ache in between my legs. I half-sat , my mind going blank for a moment. Shame had already spread across my body like a wet blanket. I sat up completely, naked and shivering. I refused to cry, but the tears didn’t listen, they rolled down my cheeks. I sniffled as I got off the bed. The wind blew in from the still open window caressing my skin, making me shudder. I cast a glance across the pristine white satin bedsheet, which was now ruined by cum and drops of blood. It’s strange how when he first invaded me and took my virginity, no blood was spilled, whereas today, it was the opposite. The dark red splotches reminded me, glared at me and taunted me of the loss of my virginity, a hollow concept created by soci
I didn’t know how to react to this. The woman, however, knew exactly what to say. She was stoic like her son, her gaze fiery and hostile. “I am the late Alpha’s true mate, but he didn’t want me to be the luna.” The bitterness was evident in her tone. I nodded, trying to make out some sense of this fact. “You must be the girl whom he chose,” she said after scrutinizing me. I managed to not squirm under the weight of her gaze. The girl he chose, huh? I also tried my best to not cringe at this. Her eyes narrowed, razor-sharp as if waiting for me to slip up.“Try not to disappoint him,” she said when I hadn’t replied verbally. I blinked while her face remained impassive. I wanted to say, “Who the hell does your son think he is, that I won’t dare to disappoint him? He is already disappointed, I think.” But none of
Astrid yipped as we zoomed our way through the forest, weaving through the trees and occasionally rolling on the forest ground. We were happy, more so because this was the first time in a long while that we got so much freedom. There were no lakes or clearing in this forest or there was, just not accessible. We looked around and found a semi-clear spot, devoid of dirt and looking pretty cosy with the spread of fallen leaves. We trotted to the spot and plopped on it. The leaves crinkled and tickled but we made ourselves comfortable. ‘Astrid?’ I began, because after all this time, I finally felt that we could speak to each other freely, connect and share our thoughts. Astrid, unlike me, didn’t like to stretch things or talk about heavy stuff. She never dwelled on anything, which is why now as we sat on the forest floor,
[Trigger warning: Suicidal thoughts, self-hatred] I had never transformed so fast, never ran so fast. My hind legs were burning and aching when I came to a halt at the edge of the forest. I somehow transformed back into my human form. The moment I did, the wooden door opened with a creak and a harried-looking Marcus emerged. “I told you not to go to the Southern part of the forest, didn’t I?” He looked mad, but that didn’t make me flinch, not even a bit. I stood up, brushed my pants as much as I could salvage before raising my head. I ignored the furious burning at the corner of my eyes. “Why? So that you could hide you alpha having an affair, or should I say keeping a side chick and fucking h
Even though Isaac said that Clarissa had changed my clothes last night, I still wanted to confirm whether that was true. “Did you change my clothes last night?” The maid’s hands stilled, hairbrush on top of my head, the bristles yet to touch the hair strands. I looked at her reflection. Her eyes were downcast, red splotched her cheeks. She glanced up before lowering her gaze and nodding. “You were… unconscious. Then…alpha called for me and I…” She didn’t need to mention the rest. I could imagine what it must have looked like and how intimidated she must have been. I don't even know how I asked him to kill me. Maybe I was desperate to die. I still am not opposed to the very idea of death.I shoved these thoughts at the back of my mind. Now was not the time to show how pathetic of a Luna I was. I hummed noncommittal, pretending to be unbothered whereas inside I was slightly relieved. I would
To say she was beautiful would be an understatement. I had only gotten a glimpse of her that day before I had turned heel and ran. But up close, I begrudgingly had to accept the fact Isaac must have been enamoured.“If i hadn’t met you today, I wouldn’t know how flattering it would feel to be gawked at by an alpha’s mate.” The voice was soft, almost melodious but one couldn’t miss the taunt and smugness in the tone. She tucked a black lock behind her ear, the fading bluish highlight still visible before crossing her hands. I clenched my jaw as I noticed that she did that on purpose. On her ring finger shone a diamond ring, adorning her manicured pink-nailed fingers.I felt my skin crawl at the satisfied smirk on her lips. I levelled her with a glare before moving past her when she said,
Horror gripped my veins as I stared at Isaac, whose gaze was razor-sharp. He looked every bit the beast that the tales claimed him to be. “You…you wouldn’t.” My voice shook and I hated the fact that it showed my fear. Isaac stalked towards me until he was close, too close for my liking. His wolf form was….intimidating. His black fur gleamed under the fluorescent lights and in the middle of modernity, he looked unreal. I had to tilt my head to look up at him. “That is exactly what I intend to do. I don’t give empty threats,” he rasped. I averted my gaze. I didn’t want him to see the telltale sign of tears. “Think carefully, Kathryn. Once you leave, you can’t survive much longer as a ro
