Nasrin“Ah!” I closed my eyes in pain and frustration. I have lost count how many times I was thrown on the ground today. Katarina was not happy about it. It seems like my performance was deteriorating– my focus on training that is.“Seriously… What's wrong with you? You’ve been distracted lately. And you were getting better, you know.” Caleb said while looking down on me, his hands on his hips. His huge form was covering the sunlight that hit me. How could I tell him that their Alpha was living rent free in my head? It’s either he’s in my mind or he made me late for morning training because he would devour me like a beast every damn night. I’m just bewildered at how things took a turn for us. He used to despise me. I remembered how he humiliated me, how he treated me before. After everything that he did to me, I was unable to be mad at him or hate him. And everytime he seduces me, I can't seem to deny him too. There’s something about him that would lure me to submit to him. And eve
I watched everyone train from afar. It’s a miracle Katarina never reprimanded me for my absence. She never looked for me either. I have a feeling that it’s because my relationship with their Alpha improved. Their stares that were filled with detest had changed into that of respect. Caleb’s words echoed in my mind. Maybe the Alpha really was accepting me as his mate. I’m not sure what to feel about that. He used to hate my guts and now, everything turned to 180. And I couldn’t help but feel the butterflies in my stomach fluttering. I’ve never been adored by a man like that. “Rin.” A familiar voice pulled me out of my reverie. Eliana smiled at me as she stood to my side, joining me in watching the warriors train. I haven’t seen her ever since the party.“Hi, Eliana. How are you?” I asked, seemingly interested at the times we haven’t seen each other.She grins at me before speaking. “I’m actually busy learning how to cook recently. Callum’s mom is teaching me. What about you? You’ve be
His rage made me tremble in fear. He stomped his way towards me, grabbing my jaw with his hand. His face loomed over mine as my heart beat deafeningly loud. “And why the fuck do you smell like him?”I whimper, feeling the pain of his grip. “I…” I tried to explain but my fear of him was consuming me. “Please…” I begged as my eyes watered. His grip loosened but his hand slid down to my neck and held me there. He pushed me against the door, the force made the door slammed shut behind me. The loud bang made me flinch. My back hurt from the impact.“You are mine!” He roared.“A-always.” I rasped in the midst of his hold. My answer calmed him down. His hold finally loosened as his hand went back to his side. I quickly tried to explain to appease him. “Caleb’s mom invited me for dinner.”“The scent.” He spat with venom.“He walked me home. We reconciled.” I said breathlessly. His face was emotionless, anger simmering down but slowly.“Are you guilty?” He asked monotonously.“For what?” I r
Nasrin “Gotta say, baby girl. I’ve missed you.” Katarina showed me a teasing smirk as she crossed her arms. “And for someone who had not been training with us for weeks, you sure kept your skills.” I blushed at her comment, peering at her shyly. I started coming back training with them yesterday. I begged the Alpha to be easy on me since I wanted to join them again. Unexpectedly, I’ve missed sparring with them. They were pretty helpful with my progress too since they’d teach me what I was lacking. I also realized that getting my physical strength really helped me overcome my illness. He got annoyed with my request. I swear I noticed that he was controlling himself not to throw tantrums. In order to appease his emotions, he didn’t let me leave his side and instead of working, he spent all day either inside me or holding me in his arms. I find it hard to believe that a cold man like him would act that way. “Of course, as a warrior, you still have a long way to go. But you don’t ne
CalebThe room was quiet, only the sound of our breathing could be heard. The mood was gloomy and heavy after the Alpha released an order for us three, Beta, Gamma and me, the Delta. The three of us stared at him in disbelief and skepticism. Ever the bravest one to question our Alpha, Katarina voiced out the said uncertainty.“Are you sure about this, Alpha?” The Gamma always has a stern look on her face. The warriors of this pack always respected her because of her cold and strict nature. It was why our Alpha entrusted her in training the warriors. But that stern look had cracked ever since he gave me a mission that would put us to doom.The Beta and I both eyed him in full of obvious concerns, especially me– after everything that happened recently. It’s hard to believe that he would do something like this.Our Alpha only looked at us with a cold unreadable look on his face. He had not shown concern even a single bit.His sharp eyes shifted to me and spoke with firmness. “Go.” My e
NasrinMy mind was in a mess as I walked through the forest beyond Dark Moon’s territory. And the wayward Alpha has filled my mind completely. I’m a mush when it comes to him. I don't know when or how I have come to fall for him, to let him consume like I was his fully and completely. Even though my mind tells me to run and never look back, I walk slowly and hesitantly. My heart reached out to Lucan. I feel like it was wrong to suddenly leave him. Will he let me go though if I told him I wanted to go home? Probably not. That’s why I escaped in the first place.But I promise to come back. And I will. I really will. I just need to sort out everything. I need to say goodbye to my friends… my family. Will they care if I leave?My mind was filled with these random thoughts as I walked for a long time. I don’t know what time it was or how long I have walked as I remembered Caleb’s instructions. As soon as I reach the lake, there will be a path visible that will lead to the highway. That
I paused, looking at my dad. Perhaps there was a side of him that understood what I meant. “I… I only spoke what I saw. They were only angry that you attacked their homes.”“You really need a history lesson, sis.” Serene said. A bitter smile on her painted lips. “Our enmity goes way back. We didn’t attack them just randomly.” She rolled her eyes. “If you so like them so much, I’m sure we won’t stop you from going back to them. That’s one way to ease our burden.”“Serene.” Sky warned her. I noticed my dad was holding back a smile on his lips. His lips twitched as soon as my eyes landed on them.“There’s no way to talk to your sister like that, Serene.” All of them had a shocked look on their faces as they stared at dad who suddenly defended me. Serene couldn’t believe that he would chastise her for me. I was dumbfounded too.“Tell me, Nasrin. If they took you as a means for revenge, did they plan how to exact it? I am sure they are brewing ways to attack us.” Dad continued. Mom nodded
“No.”“What did you say?” There was a low guttural sound in dad’s voice, obvious that he was mad at my answer.I abruptly stand, and for the first time, I seem to have the confidence to face them firmly. “I said no.” Dad gritted his teeth, scowling at me. His glare could pierce straight to my heart if it was a real dagger. “I would never betray them. You see them as monsters but I don’t.”“You little-” Dad rose to his feet in anger. “You insolent fool. Serene was right. They have poisoned your mind. How dare you defend those savage beasts. They have killed a lot of our people and you… you protect them! If they will come for us and kill us, blood will be in your hands and I will make sure to come back and kill you myself!” My dad spat with immense rage. The hatred in his eyes has come to surface– the hatred that was only directed to me.My eyes widened in fear. My confidence disappeared into thin air in a split second.“Dad!” Sky stood as she eyed our father in disbelief. “How could yo
