I woke up to the sound of Alaric voice, he was singing out loud and cheerfully as if he had won the lottery, I knew he believed he was winning in this silent battle he was having with me and my family but I knew he was in for a rude awakening I also perceived the nice aroma of breakfast, what ever he was cooking was definitely going to be very delicious He was cooking for me again I noticedHe really can be romantic but I smiled as I knew it was all a ruse, this was all a front to deceive and manipulate me but I was willing to allow him take advantage of me if this is his method of doing it. Alaric feels he is playing me whist it is the other way around, I want him as distracted as possible so he would not know how time flies. I could already smell from my room that he was cooking and that it was going to be delicious. There was a time I was worried about his food, worried that he might poison me or try to control meI was not really concerned about the control or him taking my
I was happy for this time I had, I used it to have another meeting with my family members, the idea was to find a solution to the vampires problem, I met and urge with those who I could to assist while sending a message to others to help before there is a shortage. The feed back was more than pleasant, we had more and more volunteers and all their blood work came out clean, before long the vampires had their kingdom in check, everyone who was poisoned with the bad batch were in no time cleared, Alaric on the other hand barely called and seemed to be very busy, I knew he was recovering and possibly scheming, but I was happy provided it was all rhetorical and whatever plan he might make possible was all faulted by us. Alaric came back after three days visiting his “mother”He drove into the compound and got out of his vehicle I rushed to him and hugged him tightly “Babeeeee! I have so missed you sooo much” I said as I pecked him He smiled sweetly at me“So how is your mum now?” I a
Jolene Pov"Listen carefully… I, Maverick of SharpEdges Pack, rejected you Jolene as my mate!" Maverick's face was cold and filled with disgust and loathing when he stared at me. My happy expression immediately paled in shock and disappointment and I could feel deep searing pain and tightness in my heart which made me clutch my chest and gasp loudly in pain. "I don't agree." I bit my lips and fought back the tears from dripping. I have just celebrated my seventeenth birthday two days ago, and I've been eager to have my mate. But I never thought that my mate would be Maverick the Alpha's son nor do I believe that I'd be rejected fiercely by him before I could even acknowledge it. Maverick took a step toward me, his handsome face which always made me blush a deep red now seems to send me to hell. My breath was caught in my throat as he towered over me, his eyes boring down to me as if I was just an insignificant thing, "Do you think you're worthy of me?" Maverick spat out ruthlessl
Mavericks POV The day I turned 16 - three years ago - was the day I discovered that Jolene was the mate the moon goddess bestowed upon me. I was on my way to pack some important documents my father asked me to fetch when the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled drifted into my nose.'Mate!' Killian hollered loudly in my head due to excitement when we saw Jolene. Jolene was beautiful like she has always been and she looked at my face with a shy smile that revealed her dimples, "Hi." She waved at me which made me stop in my track'Mate!' Killian growled in my head as a response that made the excitement of finding my mate vanish, immediately. I have always longed for a strong Alpha female wolf but I never expected it to be someone like Jolene; Jolene is a weak human compared to the strong person I planned for my Luna position. Jolene is weak, she doesn't know how to fight, she doesn't have courage, she couldn't keep up with the pack training, and several times the pack had to p
Jolene's POV It was unbearable, it was as if my body was submerged in a fire. My whole body was uncomfortable and I couldn't help gasping in pain. I've always thought that one wouldn't feel pain once one dies but it seems to be a lie. It hurts, it hurts so much. My whole body was as heavy as a lead, I tried to lift my arms but I couldn't, and no matter how much I struggled, my eyes seem to be shut with glue making me unable to open my eyes. After what felt like centuries, I was finally able to open my eyes to see a beautiful space, 'It's so beautiful. Heaven is so beautiful.' I thought as my green eyes darted around in curiosity. I tried to look around without straining my painful neck and soon I realized that I was in space. I was in a room; a very big and beautiful room. The room was painted and decorated in white, and I suddenly realized that I was lying on the bed. This is crazy, is there a bed in heaven? I thought in bewilderment."Princess, you're finally awake!" Two women
"Stop crying please." Mother comforted me when the tears continually poured down from my eyes. A man suddenly strode into the room with an anxious expression. He had green eyes, I guess I must have taken that eye trait from him, considering that mom's eyes were black."Is anything wrong?" My real father asked with a pained expression and pulled mother into his embrace. The other woman quietly left us. I shook my head after getting a hold of my emotions, "No, I'm fine. It's just that I've always thought that I was just a weak human living among the werewolves." I explained and cleaned my tears."Did they reject or bully you because of that?" Father asked with a frown that perfectly shows that he won't hesitate to raze Sharpedges Pack to the ground if I nod and say yes. I slowly shook my head and said, "They didn't. I have a mother and father who always took care of me. The whole pack treated me well." I explained truthfully Mother frowned in confusion, "But why did you fall from t
Maverick's POV "Your highness, I'm sorry but we couldn't find young Miss Jolene no matter how we search." A man told me when I leaned on the tree smoking cigarettes to get my mind off the thoughts. The four teams that father dispatched - which consisted of 7 people each to look for Jolene in different parts of the cliff - finally came back after 3-4 hours telling me they found no trace of Jolene. Maybe because I was used to the disappointment all day, I was numbed to the report."Your highness, I found a jacket." A man ran over holding a green jacket. I recognized it as the one Jolene hung when she was in the practice room. The feelings I've been trying to hold all unbottled themselves and unite to suppress me. All of it seemed to tighten its hand around my throat. The hand that held the cigarettes immediately went closer to my mouth, choosing to concentrate on how the cigarettes felt and tasted instead of letting the emotions overwhelm me. Before I could say a word, another ma
“Again, Jolene do it again” my father yells at me. I just finished sparring with one of the wolves in the pack and he won. I was getting better but this was one of the best I have performed. I got in my fighting stance and prepared to go again. This time I managed to knock him down and I could not help but shout for joy. “Good job baby girl, you did well in training today. I have good news. We are announcing your status as the next Lycan ruler tonight at a ball” my father tells me. I instantly become nervous and I think what if the pack refuse to accept me as their ruler? All these thoughts were rolling around in my head as my father and I were walking back to the royal house. “I know you were worried that the pack would not accept you but I promise you they will. You are the rightful heir and the pack has been waiting years for their princess to return home.” I nod “Father I know, I am just worried, I won’t be good enough. I do not want to disappoint you or mother.”…“I am proud
