Alpha Gerald’s kind gaze returned the smile in my face. His warmth began to thaw my icy blood frozen with anger.
But Nathan…Beta Nathan froze upon seeing me—or perhaps seeing his two women a breath away. His eyes locked with me and I could see how he restrained his anger in his burning gaze.“Alpha Gerald,” I beamed at the Alpha my family had arranged for me to marry.Behind me, I heard a sudden thud.Shannon fell to the ground, clenching her ankle, crying in pain—Beta Nathan clenched his fists before finally calling my name and ordering me outside. “Get out, Morganne.” He rushed to her. In one mighty step, he’s already beside her. “Why did you push Shannon?!”“I—” My words were cut off with the loud ringing of his slap. I stumbled backwards to the wall, but Alpha Gerald was already on my side and held both of my shoulders to steady me.This was the firAll of them whirled but my head remained bowed down, pleading."Enough!" The male's voice was even darker like a midnight storm. I looked up at them. But then, the huge male lifted a hand and the three soldiers were thrown into the wall through an invisible force so strong that I heard their bones crack."No one touches her except me," he looked at me straight in the eyes. I fought a shudder and willed my knees to not buckle. "She belongs to me."***He smells of lavender and honeydew. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his chest. He felt warm towards me despite his size and status. Judging by how everyone bows down to him or dips their heads in greeting, he's probably a high-ranking Beta. Or the Alpha himself. But the way he broke that silver chain that locked me earlier in one snap... his strength screams that of an Alpha. "He's our second-chance mate," Mira whispered. I looked up at him and gasped. He looked down at me with a soft yet intense gaze.I s
I shifted and let Mira take control of my form.She's going faster day by day. That's what my father and sister don't know. They keep saying I am weak and slow, they don't know that Mira has talents of her own.Now that I'm away from them, now that I'm far from the Nightshade Pack as possible...I feel a little bit of a sense of relief.Mira ran and ran, letting the morning sunshine warm our moon-white fur. The gentle breeze was our companion as we traversed the forest.After hours of running, we heard the sound of flowing water. We looked beyond the trees and there, a river with its tempting fresh water made us halt. "Let's rest for a bit."Mira rested and shifted into me, our human form. I feel the softness of the wind and listen to the rustling of the trees. "It's peaceful here," Mira claimed.I bent down and scooped a handful of water on my open palms. The water tastes so fresh and sweet!I also washed my face with the river's water to continue the rest of the day looking fresh an
My sight is becoming blurry but a pair of green eyes met my gaze. He was instantly in front of me in two mighty steps. I felt my body being lifted from the floor by massive hands. "Alpha Garrick?" I blinked at my mysterious savior. Those green eyes looked down at me and I can feel his warm breath on my cheeks. "Alpha Garrick?" His scent was familiar but his eyes were not my former mate's forest green eyes. They were bluish green, as if the wildness of the ocean met the mystery of these woods. "You're not Alpha Garrick, are you?" But I didn't hear the answer to my question as my eyes involuntarily closed and everything turned to black.***My eyes slowly fluttered open, sunlight warming my face. I looked around me and I'm in a forest clearing; I smelled like shit. I probably also look like one. My green-eyed savior was nowhere to be found. Well, whoever he is, I owe him my life. I rose from the ground slowly. Every bone in my body screamed in pain. The pain from the
Alpha Garrick immediately let go of my hand and cleared his throat. "Amber," he immediately met her lips. They kissed passionately as if I, his mate, wasn't there.My sister only recognized that I was there when she noticed my bluish silver dress-a stark contrast to her metallic red dress."Fiona!" My sister chirped, linking his arms to Alpha Garrick. My nose flared. "I'm glad you finally met my boyfriend-and fiancé-Alpha Garrick."I said nothing. All I can say is nothing. I'm speechless, utterly fucking speechless and stupid to believe that my dream of escaping will one day come true. Just when I thought I could escape this hellhole, I was pushed by Amber-who sent me straight plunging deeper into this shithole.Amber said more about my birthday, the party, where she got her dress. But it was all inaudible to me. I hear none of it and just let my hatred take over-especially when it seems my mate has no plan to tell my sister about what's between us.Amber flipped her hair, "Fiona got
Short Story's Blurb:Being abused by her father, Alpha Talon of Nightshade Pack for many years, Fiona dreamed of finding her mate and escaping from her hell. After finding her mate was Alpha Garrick at the awakening gathering when she finally reached eighteen years old, Fiona dreamed of being the best mate and best Luna for him. However, Fiona's elder sister, Amber, disappeared with Garrick at the party and showed up with his marks the next day. Fiona's heart shattered as she knew their betrayal and was ruthlessly rejected by Alpha Garrick later. Despite all of these, never had she thought that the Moon Goddess made a second plan for her when she met Alpha Cyrus-her childhood friend and now the most powerful Alpha King.***Chapter 1Eighteenth birthdays aren't supposed to be a shitshow. But in my case, it was. "Give a round of applause to my little princess, everyone!" Everybody in the pack looked up at me with smiles and awe as soon as my father brought me to his little stage."H
Alpha Archer's POVA month later..."I do like you, Alpha Archer.""But?" I grinned and winked."But I don't know if it's already called love," I admitted honestly."But you're willing to learn to love me." I touched her shoulder.She smiled at me, like the bright moon above. "Yes," she answered. "I really want to be with you. Not just a friend but-""More than friends."I nodded. "I want you to be my Luna." She gasped. "And the mother of my pups.""I want our pups to have those golden eyes of yours. It's like a little sun shining down on me every time I look."I was taken aback by her sweet words. My lips then broke into a radiant smile. "Kiera, I've waited a long time for this day."She squeaked, her delightful voice was so gentle that it made my heart tremble. She leaned into my chest.I closed my eyes, soaking in her sweet scent."And in your warmth, Alpha, I knew I found the Alpha I could have a beautiful future with."I kissed her in the forehead, mirroring the feeling she felt
