Reene My hands roamed over the bed, in search of a familiar warmth. Nothing.... My eyes flew open, and I sat up, looking around the room. There was no one, aside me in the bedroom. I felt a sudden emptiness in my heart, at the absence of Kaden. Where had he gone to? Lost in thoughts, I didn't acknowledge the presence of another party in the room, until she cleared her throat. I turned to see a cloaked figure, with her hands placed on her lap. She blinked."Mother?" I frowned. Since when did we become close, to the point where she could enter my bedroom? "You were sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you." She said solemnly, her chest heaving. "Disturb? Since when did you care about my wellbeing?" I asked, a look of mockery clearly plastered on my face. She winced. "I care about you, more than you can ever think..." Her voice cracked at the end. I sneered, betting my pretty toes that it was all an act. What was she up to? "Spit it out." I leaned on the headboard, making a men
Kaden"Did they agree to the meeting?" I asked Brandon, my hand stroking the large diamond ring on my index finger.He shrugged, and shook his head. "Antonio was being adamant." He clicked his tongue. I ran my hands through my hair. We were in my study. My laptop and phone were on the table, as I waited desperately for a call from the Sovereigns delegate."He's strong-headed as always. He insisted I told him the reason for setting up the meeting." Brandon said."Bloody bastard!" I cussed.I felt like slamming my hands on the table. That bearded asshole of a werewolf. Antonio was one of the Sovereigns, who oversaw any potential meetings with the Sovereigns.The problem was he wouldn't allow anyone set up a meeting so easily."We have to do something." I said halfheartedly, adjusting my position on the chair. I turned towards the door, and smiled.I knew I wasn't mistaken. I could never mistake that scent."Are you fine?" Brandon asked with a chuckle."Of course, I
Kaden"Your office is as nice as always." I smiled at the primly dressed tall figure on the seat opposite mine."Spick and span. Thanks Alpha." He bowed. And added, "I presume you seek answers?"He said it in a questioning manner, but I knew he had concluded already. And he was right."Yes." I nodded."Would you like a cup of coffee?" He asked, placing a large book, with the title, 'Mating Bond,' on the cover. I almost smiled, as I looked around the white painted, large office, with books on shelves all over.It had been a while since I visited."I wouldn't stay long." I declined his offer, adjusting my position on the large chair."You never can tell," A playful look crossed his face. I smiled. Gaius had been my father's friend, before his death. Buddies rather. And so, I looked up to him as the uncle I never had.He was old, but looked twenty. Wolf genes.He was the pack's wise man, and other pack members sought answers from him. "My mate seems weird," I began,
ReeneI inhaled sharply, my hands tugging at my dress, as I headed downstairs. I didn't want to get angry over nothing.The guards bowed as I made my way outside. Suddenly, I bumped into a figure. Looking up, I groaned inwardly. Talk of a bad timing..."Where are you headed to, dear Luna?" Kathy asked, with crossed arms, leaning on the wall, close to the large door, that led outside."Can you move aside?" I asked, suddenly interested when I saw the dark circles under her eyes. Had she been having sleepless nights?"And why should I? You look like you are getting ready for war" She sneered."You aren't entirely brainless as I thought. You are right, dear sister. I'm getting ready to punch your pathetically pretty face." I spat, smiling brightly as her face contorted into an ugly mask."You bitch! Acting high and mighty, aren't you? We all know that wasn't your wolf. There was cheating of some sort!" She yelled, with a voice that seemed like she was trying to convin
Reene"You look jittery," Kaden pointed out, and I sighed. Of course, I was jittery.We were about to visit the pack where I was killed afterall. We had been driving for the past few hours, yet we weren't close to the Redwood pack."Can you drive faster?" The question was out before I could stop myself."Considering the way you've been acting since we set out, I have all reasons to believe that you have another purpose for wanting to visit the Redwood pack." Kaden chuckled.I ignored his remark, as that was the only thing I could do. My gaze landed on Brandon who was driving. Kaden and I were seated at the back, the partition separating the driver and passenger's seats, pulled up."We are almost there." Brandon suddenly said after an hour. I looked out the window, at the familiar scenery. The scenery which I had come to hate.My heart clenched, and the air suddenly felt stifling. My wolf wasn't helping matters, as she growled."Are you okay?" Kaden placed a palm
KadenThe serenity of the woods did nothing to calm my nerves, as I sat on the wooden chair, eyes closed. It was already evening, and I wasn't planning on returning to the castle anytime soon.We had returned from the Redwood pack, and I decided to have some alone time. My thoughts drifted to my father.Trust that asshole of an Alpha to jab at me where it hurt the most. My father...He had been the best there ever was.My early memories of him, were of him, trying to teach me how to properly use the cutlery."You wouldn't want to be disgraced at a public place, would you?" He'd say, and then adjust my hands.And when he taught me how to swim. He always encouraged outdoor sports. And when we return, Mother personally made cookies and cold milk for us.I had been close to my father, than I had been to my mother. But as I grew up, the relationship between us, became one of mutual respect, and trust. And that was because, I was a potential Alpha, and his wolf alw
Kaden"When did they propose?" I asked Brandon calmly. He smiled, and pushed his laptop over to me. One glance at it, and I groaned.Displayed on the screen was the date and time the Sovereigns agreed to a meeting. It was the day after tomorrow."I can't possibly leave Amber," I shut my eyes close, and leaned back on the sofa. We were in my room. At the thought of Amber, I heaved a sigh.It had been days since I spoke to her. It was almost as if she was inadvertently avoiding me. The effect of which was I couldn't sleep at all. Not even a wink."Did you speak to her?" Brandon asked. "No," I turned away. How the hell was I supposed to talk to her, when she was avoiding me?"We can't miss this meeting. You know how hard it was to get pass Antonio." Brandon said in a crisp manner.I nodded slowly. Of course, I knew. I rubbed my arms, noticing how muscular I was becoming. A twenty something young Alpha."I'll speak to her. We'll leave for Bambnorth tomorrow morning.
Reene I walked down the hallway that led to the meeting hall, my thoughts totally a mess. This was the first time I was meeting with the council members, alone.Kaden wasn't around, as he had already left the pack three days ago.At the thought, my hands curled into fists. I had wanted to accompany him so bad, but he had declined.I soon got to the large door, and waited.The guards pushed the door open, and I walked in, flanked by two maids."You may leave," I nodded towards them. The door shut close, same time I began roaming my eyes over the members of the council. They watched me, curiousness written all over their faces."Being late to a meeting isn't the best way to behave, Luna Amber," Mateo spoke up, as I approached my seat.I smiled coldly, ignoring his words, and sat down on the chair reserved for the Luna.The hall was quiet, and then I spoke up."The Alpha and his Beta are on their way to Bambnorth, to negotiate with the Sovereigns. I believe they woul
