A cold, yet comforting air hit me in the face, and my eyes fluttered open.I rose a bit, and a tired yawn left my lips.I stretched, moaning in bliss at the sight crack I heard in my lips. That was one hell of a good rest. I laid back and then shut my eyes.Only for them to fly open again."The fuck!" My eyes widened, and I looked around.I was in what appeared to be a bedroom. There were a few drawers and a large mirror to my left. To my right was a door, which probably led to the bathroom. The room was definitely made of wood. If my guess was correct, I was in a cabin."What the hell happened?" I muttered with a hand over my head as I tried to think. Okay, the mission yesterday. I got a shot and knocked someone over. Then what ne

"Everyone, I need you to keep your noses and ears sharp." My dad barked the instructions.Beside him, I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying as much as possible to hold in a sigh. If I had made the slightest noise of displeasure, he would have heard it. His senses were that sharp. How was I part of this again? That's right, the Alpha had selected a few wolves for the patrol to survey the movements going on at the border near our pack. I was one of the selected few. I was hundred percent sure my dad had something to do with it. I should have known better. His refusal to make any further argument during dinner about my future should have given me a hint. And then the staredown between me and him during the Alpha's speech. My old man was not the kind to let an issue go so easily."Yes, sir," I heard Zack's voice through a mind link. One of the things I was grateful for was that despite the fact that Zack was the Alpha's son, he still had respe

~GWEN~"Ah, bliss."I let out a satisfied hum as I stretched my legs on the cool grass. This was one of the moments I lived for. A moment of solitude with the cool evening breeze. A breeze that served as a comfort against my skin. Werewolves had naturally high body temperature and we needed regulation. The cold never bothered me. The heat in my body was enough to deal with it.I looked at the setting sun. It's orange glow was a perfect decoration to the sky alongside the grey clouds. The glows reminded me of one of the popular music tracks I had listened to during my late teenage years, 'Stare into the sun.'A group of little and adorable children ran past me. Two girls and a boy not older than the age of two. I was worried until I saw their parents run behind. I placed my hand over my heart in relief. The children had gone to the midst of the field.Their pare

~QUINN~ It was so fucking annoying how alcohol that was supposed to be one of the quickest solutions to drown one's depression turned out to be useless when it came to my situation. Well, I had to thank my werewolf genes for that. At this moment, the moon goddess deserved four middle fingers from me, if that was even possible. I was sure she was laughing at my predicament at the moment. I wouldn't blame her though. It was a predicament I put myself in. I looked around the bar. There was so much chatter. Nothing more than the usual. Men drinking and gossiping. On the TV stationed on the far left, a sports program played. I switched my attention back to the chattering around me, hoping to find something of interest. This was something I had not done in the past nine months. Socializing. I think this was what a wolf benefited being as social as we were. Lack of it seemed to give me a sort of weakn

~GWEN~I thought the excitement in the lake would cure my boredom and bring me out of my wandering thoughts.Boy, was I was wrong.Somehow the noises of the excited people around did little to soothe the mental disturbance that dwelled within me. Each time I looked at the happy faces at the lakeside, the laughter and screams of the children, I was even reminded further of the fact that I needed a quick reprieve.Nobody knew about it but I had been having disturbing dreams of recent. Each time, the images I saw within seemed blurry, only getting clearer each time they occured.A nudge by the shoulder shook me from my wandering thoughts and I blinked to reality. I glanced to my left to see the curious blue eyed gaze of my best and child

"Ellie, for the ten thousandth time, I'm okay."I sighed with the phone in my ear at Eric's comment at the other end. I was facing the mirror in my new bedroom, wearing pink transparent lingerie, while Theo was in the bathroom, having his late-night shower.It had been a month since I had become Luna, as well as Theo's wife. I had moved my things out of the apartment and into the manor, leaving Eric as the sole owner of the house. Of course, Lucy had to move in to take my place in order to be closer to him.Eric had graduated and was given a football scholarship. I could never forget how proud I was and how much his face had lit up. Lucy had come over on hearing the news, congratulated him, and made out with him right in front of me. Of course she did it to deliberately annoy me, judging from the smirk she had when she pulled away from him.Theo, on hearing the news, had taken

"This is bad! This is bad!"I paced to and fro, clutching my head like I was waiting for the results of a test I didn't study for. Unlike the rest of the people of the kingdom who were in high spirits, Ramon's birthday was a disaster to me. After the Queen's combat had ended, I had not been able to think straight. Not even when Ramon had tried to put my mind at ease and get me to participate in the entertainment that followed the feast.I acknowledged and respected that it was his special day, but the fact that I had sent someone to the infirmary dampened my spirits and did little to ease the tension in my soul.Ramon's gaze followed my movements like a homing beacon, an amused smile plastered on his face."If you do not cease your incessant movements, you will only bring harm to yourself."Pausing, I placed my hands on my hips and sent a stern glare in his direction. "This

A loud cry from the woman who seemed to have the advantage silenced the cheering crowd.Sylvira had backed away from me, clutching at her breasts, her eyes wide like saucers. Surprisingly, she managed the pain well. I needed no soothsayer to tell me how much it hurt, considering how large her boobs were.Using that split opportunity of a temporary freedom I created for myself, I glanced at the stands, from the sea of surprised faces in the crowd to the royal brothers. Ramon and Rothrar shared similar looks. Their mouths hung open, and I swore they looked like cartoon comical twins. I would have exploded into fits of giggles if I wasn't half worried about the outcome of the fight I was going through. Shifting my gaze to Desena, her eyes were as wide as saucers. For some reason, that gave me a boost of confidence. Now she knew that I wasn't to be taken for granted if she ever wanted

~IRENE~Normally I wasn't a fan of the days crawling by. I preferred when time sped up each day so I could look forward to what the next brought.Today was not one of those days.Because it was the king's birthday. And I stood in the midst of a combat arena with the roaring audience above and in front of Sylvira, who looked like she wanted to tear me apart limb from limb.How three weeks had accelerated since the viper incident was a mystery. In each day leading to the buildup, Ramon had assigned special guards to train me in combat. And he partook in extra training sessions after. I had begun to regret not taking judo classes as a kid when I had the chance. Then again, would it have been of any use against a dragon shifter like Sylvira, who definitely had decades or even centur

~RAMON~I settled upon the floor, crossed my legs, and shut my eyes to begin the meditation process.This sacred place, large enough to house thousands of titanic creatures, was the dragon crypt. This place, which was located in the palace underground, was where the souls of the dragon rulers of old dwelled when they passed on. In time, this would be my place. But the manner in which I would enter had not been decided yet.And that was why I sought help from the dragons of old. The growing concern within my heart was beginning to hinder my thoughts.The pyramid of Goras.I had made peace with the fact that I was going to accept Irene for who she was, memories or not. If the stars refused to grant her memories of her past life, that woul

"Brother, what happened?" Rothrar sped towards us as Ramon made the landing on the verandah and set me on my feet. Unsurprisingly, Sylvira wasn't far behind her mate."We were attacked," Ramon replied with a stretch, the cracking of his bones loud for all to hear."Attacked?" Rothrar's eyes widened, and then his gaze moved to the burn on his brother's shoulder. "By what? A desert cobra?""No." Ramon shook his head. "It seemed to me more of a desert viper.""Desert viper?" Sylvira's head tilted in typical fashion. "I have never heard or seen of such."She glanced beside her at Rothrar for emphasis, and he shook his head."No one did," Ramon scoffed. "Until today."

"For the tenth time, Irene, your request is denied. I refuse to summon my dragon." A deep scowl marred Ramon's facial features as he stepped towards the exit of the cave."Come on." I pouted, rushing after him.One would think after a peaceful night of sleep, I would be bright and cheery, with the next thing on my mind being how to return to the kingdom and push forward in the goal of unlocking my powers.That was not the case.After one of the best bathing sessions of my life in the water, my urge to ride a dragon had increased, much to Ramon's growing annoyance."Why are you even adamant on this?" His forehead creased. "I thought we agreed the previous day that it remains to be seen and the time will come."
