Randelle "Show yourself. even birds grow weary flitting about so." I exclaimed.An awkward throat cleared before Timothy's bulky frame materialized from the bushes."Timothy?"What's the hell is he doing here? Is he following me now?He looked more abashed cub than formidable warrior, and drunked twigs jutting from his ink black mane. I crossed my arms, cocking one brow in silent inquiry."Er sorry to disturb you, Chosen One. I returned from patrol early and hoped to observe Elder Keiran's lesson then saw you come this way." He scuffed one boot, not quite meeting my eyes. "Didn't mean to lurk like some creeping scout." He laughed wrly.I weighed his words before answering neutrally. "It's nothing, no harm done. But the training grounds is that way." I shrugged my sore shoulders. "Keiran focuses within there."Timothy finally lifted his tawny gaze, conviction burning there. "Oh I know I was following you. Of course. I was amazed by your dedication and how it has great impact on the y
Randelle The rays of dawn streamed through the curtains, bathing our entwined bodies in a warm golden glow. I nestled against the solid strength of Jeremy's chest, his arms wrapped securely around me as we lingered in those blissful moments before waking. "I wish we could stay like this forever," I murmured, tilting my face up to meet his sleepy grin. The depth of emotion shining in his eyes made my heart swell."There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here with you, my love," Jeremy replied, his voice still husky with sleep. He brushed his fingers through my tangled hair before capturing my lips in a long, slow kiss."Ahh, slow down wolf." I moan biting his lips."Can't...if it's you." He groans and capture my lips again making me giggle.All too soon, the responsibilities of the day could be ignored no longer. With great reluctance, I untangled myself from Jeremy's embrace and prepared to leave for my training. His brows drew together, forehead creasing ever so slightly in that
RANDELLE’S POVThe door opened with a loud bang and I jolted up from the bed. My heart leaped up in the air in fear as I looked towards the door. I was surprised to see Jeremy walk into the room with a livid look on his face. However, I didn’t care to ask why he looked angry, I was annoyed that he had no manners and courtesy.“What the fuck are you doing? Why would you barge into my bedroom that way?” I asked with a frown on my face as I slowly got up from the bed. However, Jeremy didn’t care to reply to my question.He walked toward me and before I knew what was happening, he took hold of my hand and dragged me closer.I was disoriented for a moment but in the next second, he put his lips on mine, kissing me forcefully with his hand holding down my head. My head went blank immediately and I couldn’t comprehend what was happening for a moment. But then my head started to ring with how wrong his actions were. I shouldn’t be in Jeremy’s arms with him kissing me when I had a mate, a cho
RANDELLE’S POVA sharp pain in my heart caused my eyes to fly open in fright and shock. My body was shaking tremendously due to how cold I felt and for a moment I couldn’t see what was before me. My chest rose and fell so fast as if I had been running a marathon race and my eyes narrowed due to how dizzy I was. But then it was due to the fear that I was overwhelmed with.At the same time, the sound of hilarious laughter mixed with mockery flowed into my ears and I managed to focus my eyes on what was before me. Rico’s face came into view and I gasped in shock and fear as he waved a knife at my face, ready to slash it at my face.“Ahh!” I screamed in fear at the sight of the sharp and scary knife. My eyes became clear instantly and my head snapped to look all around. I spotted Eva standing in the corner, with a knife as well. In the next second, I looked down at myself to see that I was stark naked, tied to a pole while I sat on the bare floor.Shame overwhelmed me and I wanted to dig
RANDELLE’S POVSince it was my birthday, I was dressed in a long silver and backless dress. There was a small smile on my face but behind that smile, there was anger, hatred, and the thought of revenge I got from my past life. Almost everyone in the Pack was present for my birthday. Of course, they were present to witness my union with the Alpha, Rico. A union they awaited so much but deep down in my mind, I knew I was going to give them a wild surprise.“Happy birthday, my darling.” My father wished me as I got to the foot of the stairs. He took hold of my right hand and then introduced me to the Pack as his beloved daughter. Yes, I was his beloved daughter but I was someone else beloved as well.My eyes met Jeremy’s who was with the guests. He smiled at me and I blushed without a care in the world. After he declared that I was his mate, we kissed and it was my most passionate kiss ever. The kiss carried the love we shared, the one we weren’t given a chance at in our past lives.I w
For days, I had been locked up in prison without food or water. I hadn’t seen daylight in days and for the first time in my life, I knew how important the light the Goddess blessed us with was. However, if Rico thought he could keep me here and I would rot, then he was delusional.I was a pureblood, a breed that could withstand anything. I wouldn’t die just from not eating but even at that, I wanted to get out of prison so bad. I thought of tearing out the iron doors from their hinges but that would be a total waste strength. If I escaped from prison that way, it might kick up an unrest, one that I would be buried in. Deep down, I knew I didn’t have power over the Pack yet to go against Rico.More days passed but I anticipated help from my father. He knew I wasn’t guilty of impersonation or misleading the people. I expected him to stand up for me since he knew who I was but then he never showed up. Was I abandoned once again?At the same time, I wanted to know how Jeremy was doing. W
Randelle The moon was high in the sky when Jeremy and I slipped out the back door of the house. Our feet padded softly on the grass, careful not to make a sound. "Are you sure about this?" Jeremy whispered. His warm breath tickled my ear.I nodded, a knot in my stomach. "We have to go. It's the only way."Jeremy squeezed my hand and we crept forward into the dark woods. The night air was cool on my skin. An owl hooted, making me jump. Jeremy wrapped his arm around me, comforting. We hurried on, bags slung over our shoulders. Inside were just a few items - some clothes, bread and cheese. A small knife that had belonged to my mother."Where will we go?" I asked. My voice sounded loud in the quiet forest. "Somewhere far from here," Jeremy answered. "Where no one knows us. We'll start a new life, just you and me, get strong and prepare for our enemies."I smiled slightly. It was a scary thought, leaving everything behind. But also thrilling, like an adventure. As long as we were toget
RandelleThe scent of pine and rain-soaked earth surrounded us as Jeremy and I ventured deeper into the forest. He guided us with sure footsteps, having traversed this path before in his mysterious past. My hand was clasped in his, our fingers interlaced. With him as my anchor, I followed willingly, curiosity rising within me.Up ahead, the trees parted to reveal a clearing bathed in moonlight. A large bonfire crackled at its center, flames dancing and popping, sending sparks swirling up toward the inky night sky. Surrounding the fire were perhaps two dozen people - werewolves - chatting, laughing, and embracing one another like old friends.I drew in a sharp breath, overwhelmed by the scene. After a lifetime in my father's traditional pack, this casual community was entirely foreign. Sensing my hesitation, Jeremy gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "Welcome to the Freeway Pack," he said, pride resonating in his voice. Before I could respond, a tall, slender man with kind eyes and silver
