DIANA “Diana!!” That was the last thing I heard before I yielded to the darkness calling to me. My eyes faintly opened to the wooden ceilings. The room was dark and small but it was dimly illuminated by a lantern on the shelf by the corner of the room. I turned and the small bed creaked. I frowned wondering how I had gotten here in the first place. The last thing I remembered was feeding Michael my blood to save him. I thought only a few drops would have been able to save him but who knew it required more to save him from the brink of death? I sat up on the bed, inspecting the room. There was nothing in the room besides the bed and shelf. There were two scents lingering outside, Michael and Aaron.I gulped down my saliva wondering if Michael survived but that thought tousled the moment I heard footsteps coming towards the wooden door. It creaked open slowly and my breaths ceased for a split moment seeing Michael saunter into the room.“You’re awake,” his gentle tone carried relief wh
AARON “Save you from what?” I queried and she sighed as another wave of sadness gleamed in her eyes. “My father is sick and that gives the impression that our Pack is weak. Enemies are lurking around and it won’t be long before they strike,” she mumbled and my brows arched into a deeper frown. “As the only child of the Alpha, I need to find a mate to become the new Alpha of the Pack, or else, my family will lose our royal position as bearers of the Alpha title…” her voice trailed off. “I don’t have a lot of time left, Aaron, the pressure is getting worse and it won’t be long before my father and I are stripped of our positions.” “So you need me to become your mate and your Alpha,” I completed her statement for her and she gave a slight nod with eyes that beamed with uncertainty. “What is the name of your Pack again?” “Red Moon Pack.”“Your blood can heal anything, why can’t you just heal your father and he can carry on as the Alpha?” Another sigh left her breath. “We’ve tried it
My eyes jolted awake and my body shuddered with great tremor as if a high voltage had coursed through me. My eyes refused to squint at the beautiful morning rays illuminating my king size room. My chest heaved up and down in a heavy manner. Something had left me. Something deep, a greater part of me. I could feel that void growing within me by the seconds, eating me inside out.“Aries…” I whispered, calling unto my wolf spirit but no answer came forth. “Aries!” I raised my voice affirmatively but it was still hopeless and then it dawned on me that the greatest horror of my life had birthed.I sat up on my bed staring at the bed sheets with a confused look, my lips twitched repeatedly and my breaths became heavier by the moment as the truth became more and more obvious.I had lost my wolf. Aries was gone, I didn’t know how but I could feel the void he once occupied. My body began trembling all o
“Alpha, time is running out!” One of the elders yelled downstairs.“I know.” I heard my father say with a cough following suit.“You know?” Another one questioned in a tone filled with disgust. “That’s the same thing you’ve been telling us for months now. Is it until our Pack faces extinction?”“The moon goddess forbids it.” My father clapped back.“Keep deceiving yourself with that statement till our day of extinction comes!” The elder snapped back.“Stop saying those words like you’re praying for our downfall.” My father cautioned.“Then tell your daughter to fulfill her duty! Time is running fast and our enemies are not slowing down either. The moment they find out how weak we are, it’s over!”“Indeed! You’re no longer fit as the Alpha. Your health and your daughter is our
“This can’t be right!” I blared but Irene sighed.“I’m sorry Aaron.” One could pick the heavy dose of sadness that graced her tone.“No…” I wriggled my head. “Don’t give me that crap. I am fine. My wolf is probably sick or something. There’s no way this is happening.” I asserted but my voice was lacking the assurance that should have followed suit.“Aaron, I need you to calm down and let’s find a solution to this.” My mother pleaded with eyes that were slightly teary, her left palm tried to stroke my right but I pulled away sharply.“I am fine!” I declared while I arose. I glanced between the two of them while my breaths came out like a storm. “I am the son of Barron, his only heir, there’s no way I can suddenly be wolfless. There must be some sort of logical explanation.&rdq
“Come in.” His voice sonorously blared while my mother and I sauntered inside. And there he was, on his king size bed with his hateful concubine, Maria. His hazel eyes bonded with mine immediately as if he were trying to decipher what was currently scaling my mind. His low cut brown hair seemed to glow more than usual and his full boxed beard that beheld tiny hints of grey had also been shaved nicely. His lips beheld a tiny smile, something that was always lacking when my father was with me. Although it wasn’t obvious, if one looked closely, they would notice it.My eyes twitched and wavered from his and then to Maria whose countenance wasn’t welcoming as usual. Her straight black hair was a mess to begin with and the look in her eyes was more than enough to tell how tiring she was going to find today’s ceremony. He stretched his right arm across her shoulder as he sat up on the bed.“Good morning.” My
Something was definitely wrong, was the same thing I kept telling myself as I stood behind the tall black curtains shielding the stage where hundreds of Pack members and guests were waiting for me. The night had surprisingly dawned earlier than I expected, I was going to be crowned Alpha. A wolfless man like me was going to take up my Father's mantle, a taboo, yet my father still insisted. My fears were growing at a choking pace, my entirety trembled like I was going to melt anytime soon yet I had to keep up this strong facade for the guards beside me not to notice. I tried to remember the words of my mother but it didn't soothe me one bit. This shouldn't be happening but at the same time I couldn't go against my father. He probably had his reasons for letting this coronation ceremony continue. But whatever it was, I could only hope it was good.“Ladies and gentlemen, the moment is finally here, the dawn of a
Something was different about Silver Clawers Pack, I could feel it. This wasn't the first time I was stepping into this Pack but tonight, it was another story entirely. The winds were howling to my ears as if they were trying to tell me something. I couldn't phantom what but I knew it was something good in a way."Could you speed up Diana?! We are already late! We can do the sightseeing later." Ana's voice tousled my thoughts."Oh come on, we're not that late." I rolled my eyes with a chuckle minting alongside. She rewarded me with a frown instantly."The coronation began at eight and look at the time now…" She impatiently pointed to her phone's lock screen showing forty minutes past eight. "Can you see the number of missed calls I'm getting from David?!" She gestured towards the call log."Well this wouldn't have happened if you had just chosen a dress easily in the first pl
