The three of us quickly decide to let our wolves take over because our wolves have better senses than humans. As soon as Nala has control, she catches the female’s scent and takes off; she quickly loses sight of enemies and evil guards who are a few feet behind her. Oh god, her scents fading, Nala’s paws pounded against the ground as she gained speed. I leap from the bush into a small clearing around the base of the river to see a large male taking advantage of a young female who is lying lifeless under him. Nala lets out an earth-shaking growl, and the male turns his attention towards us. He lets out a low growl and takes a step forward, his eyes glazed over red. I could tell he was eyeing me up as he stalked back and forth in front of the unconscious female. His head lays low to the ground as he gets in position to attack my wolf; I could hear Nala growling as she bared her razor-sharp teeth. I can listen to Thellues and the rest of the training squad catching up in a short distance
I'm a werewolf, raised in the south on sweet tea and warm summer nights. Right now, I'm smiling in my seat, all bubbly and barely able to contain myself. Rumor has it the future alpha of the Blood Moon pack, Thellues, will be in my new class.It's the first day after the summer break, and I can't wait to see Thellues in person, and if I'm lucky, we will be mates in the future!Gosh, I hope I'm pretty enough for an alpha.My human friends call me a doll, and I'm trying to live up to that. I got up nice and early to fix my nails and eyelashes before getting on the bus. I'm wearing a jeans jacket with various bracelets around my arm. My pimples are covered up with the Giorgio Armani foundation, and I've tamed my fiery dark hair.I'm so excited and ready!Hopefully, Thellues will pay attention to me. I found him on social media, and the guy is smoking hot, which is icing on the cake. An alpha who is hot and young is rare—I wish for him to notice me, please!'Please, keep your thoughts to
I first laid my eyes upon Rhian; I understood she was different. On my first day in the Blood Moon Pack, I spotted her when my father decided that I did not fit for the deity life with him above. My skin under my clothes was blue and yellow from the abuse I'd had to endure the night before. I was in great pain, and she smiled at me like a princess from one of those Disney tales as humans enjoy this kind of movie. Since Ayla was young, I used to guard her; I could continue doing so but not in my deity form; I could be in the body form and shapeshift to a werewolf. I felt reborn even after living a thousand years as a deity.And while a typical kid would have gladly made friends with the cute girl, I stood frozen. It was as if my feet had grown their gnarled roots and stuck them in the ground. I had never been faced with kindness, and my initial instinct was to run, but then I clenched my fists and fought to steal the spade and bucket from her.I lost, not that I'm bitter about it. The
He was tall, and he smiled at me, giving me the impression that I had known him for a lifetime, but I couldn't remember what he looked like. His face was blurry, and I couldn't even remember his name."No, don't go!" I yelled as the man turned his back and walked away from me.I felt a soft, warm palm caressing my face."It's alright; you're safe now." His voice was incredibly soothing.I freed my eyes, only to be welcomed by the white interior of the place, from the window curtains to the walls. I completely opened my eyes to get a glimpse of where I was.I glanced at the man beside me; he was downright handsome, and his emerald green eyes connected to my soul."Who are you? Where am I?"His handsome face contorted in confusion right away. He was reaching for my hand, but I moved it away."Baby it's me, Axel." His voice was full of worries. Recognition wasn't present in me. I don't know this man, why is he here alone with me.I tried to sit, but my back was in horrible pain."Brat, s
AxelDays passed into months, yet Ria had no trace of remembering Gray or me. She was constantly visiting her therapist, hoping that it would help her remember things about our love and our son, Rolf said I should call her, Nova her human name for not to confuse her,"Can I still call you mommy even if you don't remember me?" Gray muttered while sitting on his bed, and Nova was holding a storybook I supposed she read a while ago for Night. The door wasn't completely closed, and I wanted to bid good night to my son when I heard them talking."Of course, sweety, I had seen your baby photos and my photos when I was pregnant with you; my mind might not remember you, but my heart does, you are my child, and nothing is going to change that."She said, tucking Gray on his bed, then turning on the nightstand light and planting a kiss on his forehead."Good night, mommy; I would pray to God for you to remember daddy and me." Gray whispered; he was so kind given his young age. My heart longed f
Prologue "Ria, sweetheart, you better wake up and get up quickly." My mother's voice is like a sweet song in my ears, gently tapping my cheeks, trying to wake me up.I free my eyes only to hear more banging sounds outside our packhouse. It startles me. "Mom, what's going on?"My mom looks at my face for a little while as her deep ocean blue eyes shine the brightest. "Ria, I want you to head back to the safe house this instant.""Mom, are we--" She put her left hand to my mouth, preventing me from finishing the sentence entirely. "Sweetheart, keep in mind how much I love you, okay? Remember how special you are." She pushes me down to the secret passage that connects us from our packhouse to the safe house. I cling to her arms like a leech; no, I'm not ready to say goodbye."Mom, no, I'm not leaving without you."My mom stares at me with an intensity I have never seen in her before."Ria, remember the conversations we had so many times? My love, the day has come; head back to the
I watch as he takes off running and shifts into his wolf, his coat a shiny black. I look around for her, who is ushering people through the doors. That is some relief. I wasn’t completely alone right now. I put on a level head and begin gathering all the women and children. I saw them in the vicinity and started heading towards his office. It was one of the few rooms he showed me before we took off this morning. “He wants all the women and children in the safe room in his office, including you.” She gives me a look of protest but luckily, she comes with me without very much protest. Together the two of us begin leading the women and children to the safe room. When a sharp pain goes through my chest, I grab hold of it as a voice comes to me.Your Mate is hurt. Help him!Hey, I’ve never shifted for the longest time since I was nine, and I have never fought before. You know this I can’t yet.I look up from the ground to face her, who is beginning to look worried. I can’t just sit back a
"I told you to call me on my cell." I whisper, covering the mouthpiece receiver of the telephone. My brows raise and pull together as a sign of nervousness. I don't know what's the urgent matter for him to be this careless. "I've been calling your cell phone, but you never picked up, not even once; what am I supposed to do? This is an urgent matter, Ria ." Rolf's tone is controlled yet bold enough to make a valid point. "Don't call me that; what is it?" I tap my feet on the floor, waiting for him to spill the beans. "The old packhouse has a new owner; He is the great-great-grandchild of the sole owner of the land." I almost loosen my grip holding the phone in my ear. "What!? That property has been with me for the longest time; I purchased it since the day we found it, remember?" My voice has a hint of fury. The initial owner of the land sold it to me, generation after generation. Since Rolf and I are the only werewolves in the human world. I want to conserve the only connection
