“What do you want to do for the day?” I raise my gaze towards Lucius. We’re both in the bed, I was already bathed. You could say we were both clean. He did his best scrubbing my body in that bathroom after all.Yet after what we did last night, he still got some stamina to go for another round. A beast indeed.I smile at him as I bite a piece of steak off my fork. Lucius ordered some Omegas to simply bring in a tray of food.“I’d love to look around your palace more.” I grinned. His brows shot up and turned to me. “Our castle, Maryna.” He muttered, a serious look on his face. I nodded, though not understanding what that actually means. We’re still running through the contract, right?“—and should we go together?” he asked. I roll my eyes, shaking my head. “Who knew the King could be this clingy?” I scoff. He narrowed his eyes on me. “No, I would love to do this myself. You know, familiarize myself with the workers and all.” I shrug.We both agreed and the moment we finished eating, d
Blood began to coagulate around the edges of my wound, and I tried to accustom myself to the loose bandages.I got used to being hurt and the pain. Killing is a part of my life. Slitting throats doesn’t always feel comfortable. But seeing how it brings satisfaction to my lover and to my people, I’m willing to dirty my hands a million more times for it.That's what I am, mostly what I was raised to do.I kill to expand his territory, and I attack packs after packs to do that“Any last words?” I murmur with no hint of remorse onto the dying man pinned down by the force of my own feet onto the marble floor of their own pack house. It was the Alpha of the small pack we are currently in the midst of attacking. I am even surprised our Alpha, my very own man isn’t here ending this himself. “Please spare my family.” was all he said, staring at my own eyes. We were both filled with void. He, who has nothing more to give than his own life, and me who’s here trying to give everything for the m
I don’t know what’s happening anymore. Normally, the people in the pack are quite predictable. I impress them by continuous victory and they cheer me up on it. But the moment I saw their intense gaze locked on Raine. I knew something in this pack would start to act differently. I know my life would start to rotate in a different path. I’m fairly sure Calvin and I would rule this pack side-by-side and I even dreamed so forwardly as to how we’re going to raise childrens together. Never have I ever thought that his mate would someday barge in his life — our life, because I was certain he would choose the love blooming between the both of us. I know I would. I can resist some matebond just to be with him. Unfortunately, he cannot. After what happened, all I could do was flash an awkward smile at the crowd’s hostile stares. Before I could even explain further that I really don’t have any ill-intention towards Calvin’s mate, Raine once brought the attention to herself by announcing
“L—LET’S go eat.” I mumbled gripping the other pair of the earring before going out as they were still trying to console Raine. My mind was blank as I walked out with a mix of feelings swirling around my head. “She's not even the Alpha’s mate. How can she be so proud of being the Luna.” one of the Omegas behind me said. The martyrdom in my expression was probably obvious enough for them to spout something that could have their heads cut if I heard it, but they’re fairly aware that I can’t say anything with my heads up in the clouds. When I was finally outside, that was when I felt all the oxygen entering my lungs and my head working properly. Just as I thought, everyone is on her side. It felt suffocating to have the people you thought you could trust turn their backs from you. That is excruciating. Gnawing the insides of my cheeks to prevent the distress and the heavy thoughts cloud my external appearance, I walk down the dining room. Everyone in the pack house was already on t
THERE are things in life that mostly equate to a huge fragment of us. Perhaps, like tree barks engraved with two children’s short-lived love promise. Or a pirate-hidden treasure chest in a remote island. Or a puzzle piece that’s not supposedly there, but still it’s there and though you don’t need it, you let it sit there as a keepsake, because it’s important—because it holds a part of you that could never be held by others. That is what that dress means to me. That dress she’s wearing. that’s mine. The mark on the tree, the treasure chest, and the puzzle-piece the former Luna left before she had taken her last breath. And I am the only one that should be wearing it. “W-what?” Raine’s lips evidently quivered as she stares right into my eyes. I was livid, and perhaps it showed right through her weak frame. I don’t care though. She could cry if she wants, Oh, heck she could, Right after she takes that dress off, because it was mine. I can endure every consequences my actions to
THE gooey texture of the soup never failed to fulfill my needs of satisfaction at this very moment. It didn’t flow fast nor too slow on her lowered head. Its speed was good enough for it to cover every strand of her annoyingly coloured hair. Its slimy consistency was enough to know that if it didn’t look right on her hair, then it definitely wasn’t supposed to taste good. A smirk slowly plastered on my face as she shivered right in front of everyone. The pack warriors were about to hastily close the door to avoid any audience seeing, but one glare from me and they stood rigid in their spot, holding the door open. Everyone has to see this. I run my index finger on her hair before bringing it to my mouth for a taste. I cringed before smirking. “I’m off to bed. I don’t think I like the taste of the food. I hope you do though, considering you’re . . . covered in it.” I smiled before turning around, but of course, not until Calvin’s growl stopped me. Of course, the knight in shining ar
“WATCH me take the Luna position away from you.” I almost shivered in disgust at her breath grazing my ears. My hands instantly found their way pushing her away with brutal force just like the last time.Though unlike the former, Omegas scurried to hold Raine, preventing her from hitting the ground.How she got those Omegas on her side so fast these past few days, I would never know. She muttered a few words of consolation, saying that she’s okay, towards the Omegas surrounding her and they pushed her up.Her eyes burned with determination and mockery as those icy orbs stared back at my black ones. She was cunning and she knew it. She knows she can take anything away from me in a blink of an eye. Or perhaps she wouldn’t even have to bat an eyelash for this one. Calvin was bound to give the position to her either way.I take a step back before stomping on the ground, a groan coming out of my lips before I leave the training field. she’s definitely not getting what she wants.Definite
“WHAT is happening here?” The entire messed up room rumbled at its Alpha’s presence as Calvin walked inside, towards his trembling mate. Raine’s eyes were filled with horror and shock, yet much to my expectations, regret did not follow. I was actually thinking she’s still going to regret pushing me into these shards, almost killing me if I ever had an actual human body.“Ugh . . .” I slowly groaned as I felt the sharp ceramic digging deeper into my skin. For a Luna who goes from one war to another, this is nothing, but for this to happen inside the pack house was something my body did not prepare for.Damn her.Damn her to hell.“Did anything happen to you?” Calvin went over to his mate, scanning her for any injuries. Oh, come on. I’m here laying on the ground—in a shard-littered ground.“I-I . . .” Raine flashes a look on her worried mate, her lips shaking in tremor before her eyes once more goes back to me which I responded with a raised brow.“What?” I grumble, slowly clenching my
