I swallowed deeply, convincing myself they were nothing but friends just like me and Nazarus — come on!"Yes, my cousins are regaining their strengths, thankfully."I cleared my throat before I stood properly and composed myself. My elbows hit some leaves, and I immediately noticed how quickly their eyes turned into me. "Oh, Kira!" Atasha chuckled awkwardly. "My cousins would want to give you and your mother this." She handed me two necklaces with a fang pendant."Really?" I still couldn't figure out how to interact with her. I never wanted to be fake or plastic or whatever they call it. "Yes, they've been planning to come here, but they are still regenerating their strengths — maybe next week they could thank you personally.""Oh, that's nice." I grabbed the necklaces from her soft hand. "Tell your cousins not to worry, and we appreciate their gifts and their gratitude." I glanced at Fenris, and he slightly smiled at me. My lips just thinned.I wanted to ask what they were talking
My heart thundered as Fenris' eyes and mine met. "Stay here," he commanded."What? No—" He got out of the room without letting me finish my words. I gulped before I rushed to follow him downstairs. Noises were coming from outside the mansion and when we finally exited the house, I saw some soldiers talking and discussing some things. In contrast, others were spread around the huge house, they were anticipating something, and my heart was thudding continuously for what could be it."What the hell is going on?!" Fenris exclaimed, and finally, he caught the soldiers' attention."We saw tracks of Dark Summoners leading to this place—""I know, but did you see them? How the hell did they get here without anyone sensing them?"Strange. Even I didn't sense the unwelcomed scent of humanoid wolves. "Alpha Fenris, I checked Vilka in her room, but she isn't there." A maid approached him."What?! What does she have to do with any of this? Are you sure she didn't sleep in her own house?"The mai
My jaw tightened as my claws gripped tighter on the ground. I stepped back, lowering my body while gazing at the three creepy humanoid wolves. They were standing on their two legs, and it made them look more monstrous. I prepared myself for a possible attack."Calm down!" The humanoid wolves were almost laughing in my ears. I didn't know they could talk to us through the mind link. "You seem to be too threatened to us. Don't make it so obvious, I suggest." The humanoid wolf in the middle kept blubbering, sounding so boastful.I glared at them deeper as I hissed. Fenris was looking much more eager. I could even hear his blood boiling so hard.Fenris howled. "What do you want from us?!" He also spoke through mind-link. The humanoid wolf on the left side chuckled like a playful yet annoying child. "You know what we want. "We will never surrender to your greedy master, you asshole!" Fenris fired back while he was scratching his pointed claws on the ground with his sharp teeth showing.
What happened that night was still hunting me to this day — it had been two weeks and up until now, we were still thinking of the purpose of why Darkesta's little dogs suddenly attacked us."Claude is dead."When Fenris brought me that news, I was stunned. I thought I would be happy to hear those words but then again, I remembered he was once my friend. Even though it wasn't really for him, it was real for me and Lilien."They decided to kill him after he almost successfully transformed himself into his wolf form," he added.I sipped on my cup of coffee while my heart was still feeling unsafe. Darkesta was not only the devil, he was intelligent and whatever he was plotting against us could be the real end of our kind. I was just so frightened by that thought."What about Vilka? Do you believe her?" I asked before sipping on my coffee again.Vilka explained to us why she suddenly disappeared from the mansion a minute after our soldiers had traced foot tracks of Dark Summoners. She said
I swallowed deeply after seeing some backpacks and winter clothes that they had prepared for us. My mind was roaring everywhere, and I couldn't even sink in the information Guardian Leo was saying to me.My chest was thudding so loud, and all I could think of was I wasn't ready. I didn't expect everything to happen this quick.We rode horses to travel the cold land, and I couldn't stop glancing at Fenris every time I would think of backing up. I sighed deeply and tried gathering courage from I didn't even know where I could actually get one. Perhaps, the look of Fenris reassuring me was enough.We arrived at the strange mountain ranges, and from there, we teleported to the icy plateau on top of the hill. My hands were trembling under my gloves. Fenris held me while we were looking around the place, examining the surroundings."I don't understand," I muttered. "I can't see anything but icy mountains. Where could be the location of Darkesta's territory?"I hugged myself when the strong
I would never forget the day my life turned upside down. The exact moment where everything changed and all that I was used to became something that I should leave behind. He gave me no choice. It was a matter of life and death.My journey began crumbling when my best friend, Vilka bit my neck.Vilka and I started hanging out during our early college years. I always knew she was hiding something from me, but I never expected it to be that wild. I was an ordinary human who believed that werewolves were just plain fiction not until Vilka showed her true self and she transformed me into becoming one. I could still remember the manly voice that stopped Vilka from draining my blood. My visions were blurry; I almost fell to the floor but firm arms caught my waist. I couldn't even open my eyes while catching my breath but their conversation was playing clearly on my mind."What have you done, Vilka? What the hell have you done?!" The man groaned as he tightened his grip on my waist."I don't
Mate? I was gonna be his mate. Based on the books I read, mates are a werewolf's partners. I bit my lower lip, examining his features; he was like a fictional character in the books I have read and I was gonna be his leading lady like oh my God. I mean if I was gonna be a werewolf, then I would be glad to be his mate. His manly aura was looking so good. I sniffed. He also has a good scent. I guessed it wasn't a bad idea to be his mate if I really have no choice. "If you have no idea what mate is. Let me make it short and simple for you," he scoffed. "You're gonna be my wife and I'm gonna be your husband. Total disaster, right?" He sighed. "I have no intentions of marrying someone I don't love, especially a human turned into a werewolf. But I have responsibilities and taking care of my sister and Moonlight Claws are two of that." He rolled his eyes, looking disgusted about everything. Moonlight Claws? I shrugged. My brain was still sinking the fact that I was gonna marry the gorgeous
What if he's just gonna bring me to his territory as food? What if he and his family are gonna eat me alive? What if that's the real plan. He has a hidden agenda! Oh no, please. "If I'm planning to eat you alive, I already put you in the cage with my sister. Calm your heartbeat. I'll take care of you." My lips parted. So confirmed? He could read my mind or maybe he could hear my heartbeat. I massaged my chest. It was such a shame since yesterday my heart was thumping loud. "But what about my family here? My friends? I mean I still need to attend school. I couldn't just leave like that." "As I said, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll handle it." He licked his lower lip after sipping on his wine. I gulped, it looked lusciously red. "And we're gonna talk to your parents about us living together somewhere out of the country, so they're not gonna worry that much." "But they don't know you. Do you think they'll trust you?" "Come on!" He scoffed as he rolled his eyes. "How m
