Hi! I've been busy these past few weeks because of work. I had a rush project and I had to put my focus on it so I wasn't able to update like always. Updates will be slow, so heads up on this! Thank you for waiting and for your support. :)
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
Sky cursed, pushing her legs further until she was a couple of feet behind me. My legs slowed down watching the scene in awe.“Rin!” My head whipped towards the direction of the familiar voice. My eyes widened in shock at seeing him again.“Caleb?” I was surprised to see him. He was running fast from my right towards me. His eyes suddenly widened in alarm when it shifted behind me. “Rin!” He screamed, pushing his legs to run faster. Suddenly, I plummeted to the ground, face forward. I heard a loud gunshot before I hit the forest floor. As soon as I came to, I began to panic when I realized what the heavyweight was that slumped to my back. My heart began to beat deafeningly as I slowly and carefully turned around.I screamed at the sight of blood pouring out of my sister’s back. “Sky! No!” I lifted her up so she could face me. She was still awake but her eyes were droopy. She was about to pass out.I didn’t have the time to assess the situation on what suddenly happened or who shot h
Chapter 34 “Are you happy now?” I asked. I was holding back my emotions. I wanted to hear directly from him what he actually thinks. Lucan stiffened at my question. I know he knew what I meant. “Yes.” I looked at him, my face creased. My heart was breaking into a million pieces. “Cause now I know that you are being true.” “After all…” I paused, having difficulty to continue. “After all this time… you never really trusted me.” “You know who you are.” His soft voice suddenly became firm as words that were honest yet painful flew out of his mouth.. “From the start, I was transparent with my intentions. Just because I treated you like my mate, doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten.” Lucan reached his hand to my face. I felt the warmth of his palm pressed against my cheek as he wiped the fallen tears with his thumb. “Eat. You need to gain your strength.” He then stood, towering over me. His shadow engulfed my small form. “When I come back, I expect you to finish everything.” I heard him turn
NasrinAfter being cooped up in my room for days, I finally decided to come out. I guess I realized that no matter how much I cry my heart out and ostracize myself from the world, Sky will still remain dead. She will never come back. I will only harm myself if I continue to wallow myself in pity . My dream of living a life not walking on thin ice was coming true. How could I give it up?I was still hurt by what Lucan did. I didn’t want to face him. It only reminds me of the extent of his cruelty. I trusted him and yet he didn’t trust me the same way I feel about him. What hurts even more was that I couldn’t think to blame him. Before this mate thing, he despised me for my blood that ran through my veins. What we had is not enough for him to back out on his plans to give justice to the death of his family.With the recent events, I don’t know what will happen to me. I doubt they’ll let me leave this place. I was a walking danger. I don’t know when my shift will take place. I was also t
"Leave.""Rin…" I didn't miss the concern in Rose's voice. She was sitting at the edge of my bed as she tried her best to comfort me. However I didn't want her to comfort me. I want to be left alone. I curled up on the bed and faced away from her so she could get the hint.I felt bitter and empty. Her presence didn't help calm me down like it used to before knowing she will report to her Alpha anyway. Her intentions were pure and sincere but I knew at the end of the day, she will always report to him. I hate him. I truly hate him."I'm here if you ever need me.""Please…" I continued to sob. "I only wish to be left alone."Her eyes were on me for a while before she withdrew her hand that had touched my arm as a means to comfort me. I couldn’t deny its warmth even if I was being stubborn. She released a deep sigh and then got up."Call me if you need anything, dear. I will always be here for you." Rose then quietly left the room.I cried for the rest of the day. And I thought I ran ou
