Hayley dreamt of being in a meadow with red and yellow flowers, with what seem to be blood raining down on them. She could feel herself crying in her sleep, both for the revelation of what had happened and for feeling conflicted at times.
’’You will be great. Just believe in yourself and your abilities. Trust the timing that everything happens for a reason.’’ A voice that seemed to be coming from all around said.
’’Most times the reason makes no sense. Why did my parents have to die?’’
’’Every hero has a sad back story.’’
’’But haven’t I suffered enough?’’
’’And that is to make you all the more greater.’’ The voice faded.
The flowers soon turn to ash, blowing away in the wind and the scene changed to her sitting at a table with food.
When Hayley woke up, her eyes felt heavy from all the crying. She was also hun
Kane turned to look at his mate. His eyes were sad, yet pleading.Hayley could feel and see his pain. He wanted the simple spells that are slowly turning into curses gone.Hayley felt bad for him to feel this way. She hated that something like that was happening to her mate.She kissed his cheek, but that didn't seem to ease his worry."I don't think I can do this anymore." Kane said softly."Do what?""Be the Alpha. You can go ahead and reject me. You need someone strong by your side, that someone isn't me.""What? No, don't talk like that. Please, at least fight those spells a little longer. You can't give up now."Kane shook his head. "I feel like I have failed this pack."Hayley fought back her tears to embrace Kane."You are the strongest and best person I know. You are Alpha for a reason. You know right from wrong, you treat people fairly."There was a rush of wind. When Hayley pulled away from Kane,
Hayley ran into Sam and Axel on her way down the stairs. The two pulled away from each other as if they were mischievous kids who just got caught."Come on guys, you two are mates and we are like adults. No need to be shy."Sam did a little giggle."Hayley, I never told you this. But thank you, you helped me a lot by helping me break free of Davina's ability. No longer do I have those headaches, and I'm truly happy now." Sam said, pulling Hayley into a hug."It was no problem, Axel asked, I delivered."Sam gave her a nodding smile before pulling Axel away.The moment Hayley got outside, she could hear a few pack members talking about the vampire that was still on the loose."I am not too keen on being out and about like this. The vampire can easily kill one of us.""I doubt it. Few vampires have fighting skills, hence the reason why they train all of us in combat.""I'm still going to be cautious. I heard he was at the B
"Get inside." A mother told her child, pushing him in the house, even though that wouldn’t keep him safe if Hayley’s Timber beast decided to attack. ’’What is that thing?’’ Someone asked. Hayley tried hard to concentrate on her mission, but with each step, her Timber wolf was beginning to gain control again and all she could see now was red. "Is that a rogue?" Someone asked. There was a howl, which made Hayley's wolf howl back. Accepting the challenge, as a pack member called for the Alpha. There was a growl and soon Hayley was surrounded by of few members of the court guards, both in wolf and human form. "Who are you?" The leader asked. Trying to remain in control, Hayley let out what she thought was a soft growl, but instead it came out as a loud roar. Hayley hardly had enough time to blink before they jumped on her. Scratching, biting, clawing. The Timber beast seemed to love that, because Hayley could sense
Hayley left Kane so that she could walk around and make sure no one hated or feared her."Hayley!"She turned to see her sister running up to her. She didn't stop and threw her arms around Hayley's shoulder, giving her a tight squeeze before letting go."I have some good news. I went by the pack house but Kane said you already left.""Good news?" Hayley questioned."You're going to be an aunt." Carrie squealed.At first Hayley stared at her blankly, then a smile spread across her face."That's so awesome." Hayley pulled her into another hu
"I should get going, maybe Kane will enjoy these with me." Hayley held up the basket."I honestly don't know why you still put up with Davina.""Because sometimes revenge isn't sweet."Carrie scoffed, "save the monk talk, you need to kick some ass.""I hope when I do that to you, you don't complain.""I'll see you around," Carrie said walking off.When Hayley got to the house, she went up to Kane's room with the basket she got.
"Where is Kane?" A growling voice came.Hayley looked up at Kane from her place on the floor."That soun-"Conrad pushed the door open, invading their privacy."I'm here for a challenge, to show you and this pack who the true Alpha is." Conrad gave a wide grin.Hayley nodded at Kane to let him know that he should pretend as if he is weak."I guess you can do this." Kane shrugged, then got up."Or to make my work easier, you could just hand over the position to me.""No what kind of challenge would that be? You have to work for what you want Conrad, can't expect things to be handed to you." Hayley piped up.Conrad scoffed, "I wouldn't be much of a challenge anyway. I am sure that I'm now strong than the Alpha."Kane scratched
The day didn't go by without Hayley being challenged, she was picked on by two females differing in age.Even though they ganged up on Hayley, they fought each other as well.The youngest female, who seemed to be in her early 20s, kicked the other female that seemed close to 40 in her stomach."It's just you and me now." She said, advancing on Hayley."Don't count me out." The other female struggled to her feet."Go sit down grandma, Kane would even look at you twice. I hardly even know why he is with this child."Hayley growled, "are you going to keep talking?""Oh, ready and eager to lose."Hayley sidestepped an attack, got behind the female then punched her in the back of the neck.She fell to the ground."Don't tell me one hit is all it takes. What if I was the enemy? Would you just let me win like that? Get up and fight like the tough girl you said you were. If you want to be Luna, you have to fight."The female got up with a gro
As Hayley slept comfortably in Kane's room, he was busy in his office. Going through emails sent to him from another pack about the rogue wolves that are still on the loose.After responding, Kane turned to stare out the window, to watch as the rain poured down.He had always enjoyed the rain, because it brought him calm, and even with that. It always brought on a raging erection, but he smiled to himself, knowing that h know had a mate he could bury it in.He took a deep breath, taking in the smell of the wet earth, while enjoying the chill in the air that follows.All of a sudden, he stiffened when the familiar scent he came to hate hit him.“What do you want?” He didn’t have to eventurn to know who it was.Davina closed thedoor behind her. She paused for a while, running her eyes over Kane’s body, but looked away.“I’m here to ask for your forgiveness.”“Are you sur
