When they were close enough to touch her, Lilith was pulled out of the bewitching trance the haze had upon her and ran into the woods.
Fierce growls echoed from behind her, sounding closer than she would have wanted. She kicked her legs to move quicker but it seemed like all her powers were gone. For the first time ever since she was born, she felt like she was a mere human being and that alone scared the crap out of her.
‘Lucy, are you there?’ Lilith asked her wolf when she felt her stirring anxiously.
‘Barely’ Lucy’s voice sounded weak.
‘What is wrong with you?’ Lilith’s heart sank as she realized that she was on her own in this fight against the male werewolves and the Moon Goddess. Lucy wouldn’t be able to help her at all.
Lilith couldn’t comprehend why Lucy was getting weaker as time ticked by and why she couldn’t feel any of her powers.
As a ranked warrior within the pack, she should have been able to fend herself despite her wolf’s incapability to do so along her side. She had been trained for such situations in her human form yet she couldn’t help but feel more human than she ever did.
‘I’m sorry, Lilith. I won’t be able to fight this with you.’
‘Just tell me if you have any idea of what’s happening. I’ll handle the rest.’
‘All the answers to your questions lie within your home.’
Lilith was disappointed that Lucy wouldn’t tell her anything despite knowing everything but feeling Lucy’s weakness increasing, Lilith decided to escape those male werewolves first before heading back home to get those answers.
‘Have some rest then.’ Lilith said but her heart literally stopped beating when she did not get any response from Lucy.
‘Lucy, are you there?’
‘Lilith, I’m sorry. Please, forgive me.’ Lucy whispered before taking one last breath.
Lilith felt her soul tearing in half as her wolf died, leaving behind a void never to be filled ever again as Lucy left. Lilith stumbled in shock and caught onto a nearby tree to catch herself. She tried to catch her breath but nothing worked.
The male werewolves neared her yet Lilith couldn’t move. The pain of her wolf dying left her frozen against the tree. She could feel that the werewolves were close enough to try tearing up her clothes.
Some of the werewolves were close enough to sniff her delicious scent driving them insanely lustful. When one of them grazed and licked Lilith’s exposed legs, Lilith jolted back from the pain of losing Lucy.
She borrowed herself deeper against the tree and held her breath as the werewolf came closer to her face. Lilith’s heart raced when he growled at her before nibbling at her neck. She squeezed her eyes shut and bit her lower lip as it trembled in fear when another male werewolf licked her thigh.
She felt the heat inside her becoming stronger, urging her to surrender to the scorching passion.
She was powerless against them. Lilith thought as she indignantly buried her nails into the tree trunk behind her but she did not want to give up yet. She opened her eyes and with newfound determination, pushed the werewolf away and ran but she barely took two steps before she was seized.
Lilith’s scream sounded amid the growls when the werewolf tore her dress, leaving behind a pinching like pain which soon spread like wildfire. She screamed yet again when he madly clawed at her dress, leaving behind several bruises which wouldn’t heal now that she was wolfless.
Luck was on Lilith’s side when they started to fight each other to mate with her. Amidst the total chaos, short and nimble, she managed to escape. She ran fast, hearing roars echoing in the air and knowing they were still tracing her.
She made a simple mistake. She dared look back over her shoulders to check whether she had an advantage over them despite knowing well enough that there was no chance for her to escape them all.
The next thing she knew was that she crashed into a hard surface only to realize that it was a person.
An arm wounded itself around her lower back, stabilizing her when she stumbled.
“Mate” Lucy resurfaced only to whisper faintly before she was gone forever.
Lilith’s breath got caught in her throat and she froze, not only because this man was her destined mate but also because the only man whose scent smelt like forest pine and woodsy was none other than the Blood Moon pack’s future Alpha, Blaze Westbrook.
A few moments passed but the sparks on her lower back didn’t subside. The feeling of warmth radiated to her.
She wanted to curl into him but she resisted the mate pull. How come I could still feel the mate bond when I was now wolfless? Lilith thought devastatingly.
Blaze Westbrook, the future Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, sat with his back against the trunk of an old maple tree at the foot of the cross mountain.It was not hard to see beneath the haunting of the full moon. The moon hung up high in the dark sky, bathing everything in a soft blue hue. The trees casted eerie shadows, looking ghostly but Blaze used his wolf’s eyesight to detect any movements through the dark forest.He leaned his head against the tree trunk as his mind wandered off to the conversation he had with his parents this morning. They have been constantly reminding him of attending the mating gathering tonight. Their wish was unwavering. Since he was the future Alpha, he had to attend the gathering to find his mate but it didn’t sound appealing to him.It’s been five years ever since he turned eighteen and he hasn’t had any luck in finding his mate during the past mating seasons held every year. Either his mate hadn&rsquo
How could his mate be in heat at this time of the year? No one had ever been in such predicament before, that too, during the mating season unless the one hundred year old myth about the sigma was true?Blaze did not want to believe something that was only known as a myth. Yet, he still couldn’t help but think why the Moon Goddess chose to degrade Lilith to being the pack’s sigma.If Lilith was the next pack’s sigma then there was no way his parents will accept her as his destined mate and the pack’s destined Luna. She could pose a threat to the pack. That meant only one thing; Blaze wouldn’t be able to accept her as his mate.It was getting hard for him to calm his wolf when his mate was oozing such a sensuous scent. His breath hitched before his breaths started to shake as he got another whiff of her heat.He clenched his fingers tightly. His nails grew back into claws and his canines extended. No matter how much he tried t
Blaze leaned closer, their faces drawing near, and he could feel the heat of her breath mingling with his. He closed his eyes when he got a nice whiff of her delicious scent. His jaw ticked in anger. It drove his wolf insane that he couldn’t touch her that he couldn’t tell her why he had to stay away from her. Lilith’s belly churned with different emotions, fear, anticipation and desire, desire? She resisted that strong emotion, wanting nothing to do with it. Lilith’s eyes glistened with unshed tears and her lips trembled in fear. Bash whined and reluctantly let Blaze gain control, his eyes changing back to his normal silver color. Realizing that he reacted impulsively, Blaze backed away. “We’ll have to wait till dawn. That’s when the mating season usually ends.” Blaze said, avoiding her eyes. Hearing this, Lilith quickly put his jacket on to cover herself despite wanting to throw it back on his face. She wasn’t looking forward
At her parents’ side, Lilith trembled uncontrollably. She was so distraught she could not speak. Their shoulders shook with silent tears. They couldn’t bear to see their daughter in this state. “Let’s get inside.” Erica advised. They guided Lilith inside the house and sat her down on one of the couches. Lilith tightened Blaze’s jacket around her shoulders. She fisted the material in her hands. She heedlessly breathed in his scent which was strangely soothing. The mate bond was still affecting her emotions. But, my wolf died! Lilith thought. “Lucy is gone, mom! She left me.” Lilith broke down. She was devastated by the loss of her wolf. “What is a sigma, dad? What are they talking about?” Choking back her tears, Lilith asked. She couldn’t control her emotions. She was miffed that the Moon Goddess chose to mess up her life when everything was going accordingly to her plan. “There hasn’t been a record of one in almost one hundred years. People began sayi
Lilith was enthralled by the looming trees as she followed the trail to the great valley. The Blood Moon pack ground encompassed a large forest area, two huge mountains and some valleys with the great valley belonging to the Venerelli’s. The great valley stretched away ahead of them for miles, a valley with grass of a rich green, well-timbered, but more as a park is timbered. Winding lines showed here and there revealing the courses of streams and far away, the high masses of hills were visible. The continuous line of the trail was lost amongst clumps of fine tall trees, but odd stretches of it remaining visible showed it angling down until disappearing south-west, towards the pack’s south border. The Blood Moon pack would often use this ground for pack training in werewolf forms since it was the biggest of all the other valleys. Reaching the great valley, Lilith’s mind wandered over to her childhood. She would spend majority of her time training under her parent
Lilith woke up to her mom’s low and urgent voice.“Beta Travis is asking for you at the pack house.”Lilith groaned before nodding with a sigh. She got up and rushed inside her bathroom to get ready for the day.She hurried downstairs once she was done but her mom refused to let her go without having some breakfast.Lilith was aware that her parents were pretending to act like everything was normal. The tension hanging around the house spoke differently. There was less than a week time before she would have to leave the pack. Once she left, there would be no chance of her ever returning.She smiled at her parents while joining them at the kitchen table. She wanted to cherish the little moments she had left with them.She felt nervous when she entered the pack house to find the living room area filled with some pack members. The omegas were running to and fro in a frenzy, trying to keep up with Beta Travis’s list of wo
Lilith smiled at her work when she was done. She turned to talk to one of the omegas but the girl was already running towards the kitchen area. The omegas were supposed to prepare tonight’s feast. Lilith was instructed to help them. So, she got to work since dusk was falling rapidly. Lilith has not seen Blaze after she last saw him on the terrace. She actually did not want to cross his path ever again but her heart begged to differ. She rolled her eyes as she felt the mate pull when she thought about that cold-blooded egoistic jerk. Lilith was starving. She regretted not having more of the pancakes her mom made this morning. She gulped down a bottle of water to quench her hunger. She still had to serve snacks and drinks to the pack members. She glanced at the clock. It was just seven o’clock. She wondered how the omegas were still going around doing their chores in their hunger state. She hadn’t seen them eat lunch or anything. She really hoped they a
It was Blaze’s turn to be completely stunned. He couldn’t believe Lilith just spoke to him with such an attitude. His heart swelled with pride as he watched her angry walk, gaze fixed on her swaying hips.‘Why did you let her leave?’ Bash growled.Blaze ignored him. He slowly walked away, deep in thought. He had spent the entire day searching about the last sigma but he found nothing regarding her in the library’s archives room. It was strange that there were no records of the last sigma.Blaze sighed. He would have to wait until his parents return from the Lycans’ council to ask them about it. The pack had seemingly already figured out that Lilith was a sigma based on the weird event that repeated itself during this year’s mating season.They made the connection pretty fast and were now, set on banishing Lilith. If they were indeed right in their calculations, then, it was undeniable that his parents would banish
