“I am warning you, Phoenix Hart! Don’t say those things again,” he warned me while standing just a foot away from my face.“So that you can do whatever fuc*ked up things you want to do?” I inquired, looking straight into his eyes.“Phoenix! Get the f**k out before I lose my control,” he closed his eyes and squirmed in anger, cocking his face to the side to avoid looking at me and getting angrier.“Not before you answer me. What are you planning to do with that naïve girl?” as I asked him again, he grabbed my arm and started dragging me towards the exit.“Let go of me,” I freed myself and snapped at him, “You told her that you are her mate?” I shouted, bringing my eyebrows together to express my anger towards him.“I did what?” he looked completely lost at this point, “Did you have one of those nightmares where you thought you are a warrior and the world is under your feet and then you woke up thinking it is all true and it really happened?” he showed the mentality of a child when argu
‘A monster's power is your weakness, he is not scary when you stop fearing him,'My father's words rang through my head and I got up on my feet. My eyes scanned the room quickly to find anything that could be used as a weapon.Finding nothing, I rushed out of the room and was struck with horror. Everybody was running around and screaming at the top of their lungs for help.I made my way to the end of the hallway and once I reached the staircase, I saw a prisoner trying to snatch a woman downstairs.I didn't think about my wolf not being with me and lunged at him.The moment my fist made a contact with his jaw, he trembled and fall down the staircase."Go and hide somewhere," I told her and the others while running downstairs where I could see more prisoners in red prison jumpsuits.I was surprised how they have managed to escape the prison but also shocked that they had run straight into the Alpha King's mansion.There were guards, that had been beaten up badly, and were lying down wi
After the wailing brides had left, I ordered the guards to take the dead bodies to the wailing river. I even find out that the Alpha King was being informed about the whole incident and he was returning. He even warned the guards from leaving the bodies at the wailing river but I made them do it anyway.I know they were afraid enough of the thought of the wailing brides returning with another mess and leaving the bodies for them to collect but now they were frightened of The Alpha king, who will get very angry when he will find out that they didn’t listen to him.I was in the living room with Morgana and Joce, waiting for the arrival of the Alpha King. The instant his car was parked, he rushed out and ran inside the living room.I had my face all messed up with a black eye and a busted lip. I couldn’t even heal and blamed it on the tiny amount of the wolfbane they inject into me every morning.He stopped right in front of us, probably acknowledging how much damage those prisoners have
I hated that he had seen me crying. I cleaned my tears with difficulty and marched outside to hear him out. I have seen him avoid getting inside the room many times, he would only march in when he was too angry.“Don’t tell me you have punished the guards,” I used my normal voice, pretending like I wasn’t even crying just a second ago.“Stop pretending,” he said in a calm voice, but I frowned like I had no idea what he meant?“I am sorry?” the tears were wanting to spring out with force, but I was keeping them hostage until I am alone again to cry in peace.I was mistreated so many times that I promised myself I will not beg before someone noticed me or feel for me. Tonight, he had a chance to make me believe he felt a little concern for me but he missed it. I am sure whatever he would say now will just be an act.“Your injuries are still fresh, why?” he mentioned my injuries and it burned my skin like a fire. I hated him talking about my pain now.“They will heal. Tell me about the g
It had been a few days and every night, Aramis had sent the medicine by the hands of his guards repeatedly. I didn’t take it, I wanted my body to get used to healing itself like a normal flesh and bone creature.The wounds not being able to heal had raised eyebrows at me, but it was fine. I know they cannot kick me out for not having a wolf, I am not here for them. I was brought to this mansion for my mate.I was in the kitchen, washing the cup I had drank coffee from when Joce and Morgana marched inside.“Your brother found a new mate,” Joce was the one who went ahead to give me this news.“Markus?” I asked, forcing the pain I feel whenever I hear his name inside me to not show.“Yes,” she smirked, I bet she was waiting for me to show a reaction or probably wanted to see the tears be born in my eyes. This same brother wrote a rejection letter to Tanner along with the others because he was dying to get justice for his mate and now he had moved on from her in literally a month?“Oh gre
“You are coming in the same car as us,” the dinner was brought to an end and Aramis was raging beyond control.“No! I don’t want to scare off Morgana,” I said while giving him scoff and got inside the car behind theirs. He let out a grunt and then joined Morgana and Joce.Now he wanted me in that car when he needed answers?The entire car ride was weird enough for me. I couldn’t help but think about what I will do now? They all know I don’t have a wolf so the fear factor that was engraved in their hearts would no longer remain there.I can still fight them but I cannot take their blows like I used to before. My face took days to heal so I don’t even know how weak I am now?The moment our cars were parked, I rushed out before them and sprinted to my room. I didn’t want to speak to them or be asked about my wolf.My life, my mate, and my wolf were not their business.“Cease right their Phoenix Hart!” Aramis yelled when he watched me briskly leading up to the room. I didn’t obey his word
“Phoenix! You are not feeling a mate bond with him. In fact, you can’t even feel it anymore but I do,” he said, and then he suddenly let me go after he realized what he was saying, “and I am not saying I am mesmerized by it. I am just letting you know that he is dead and you talking about him, bringing him up like he is alive is hurting us,” he tried explaining why he was so focused on who was whose mate and who was feeling the mate bond but it didn’t make sense.“Then I am alone again?” I asked through quivering lips and a frowning forehead.“How did your wolf die?” he asked me a question instead, “Why didn’t you tell us before?” he added.“I am not answering you. Because I have to mourn the death of my mate now,” I said with a straight face. I just found out that my mate is dead and he wants to gossip with me?“Phoenix! Get a hold of yourself,” he growled while I walked past him and opened the door to leave. To stop me from leaving, he grasped my wrist and pushed me back until I lan
I had woken up in his bed with a salutary of the pack checking my blood pressure.“So, what is going on now? What did you find?” Aramis was standing beside her, watching me open my eyes. It didn’t take me long to realize I have woken up from a nightmare.“I don’t know. I have heard about people losing their wolves but they would eventually get them back because no matter what, we are incomplete without our wolves.” The Salutary was an old she-wolf, probably in her 60’s and being the best Salutary of the pack.Suddenly, my eyes wandered to her face. What did she say, I can get my wolf back?“But in her case, I don’t know for sure. The story about people losing their wolves and then finding them? Those things are just myths and fantasies. Nobody has ever come forward to claim they have lost or found their wolves again. The wolf never dies actually, so they cannot claim they lost it. It is a shock though that she lost her wolf, that was not supposed to happen even after being poisoned. H
