The sound of the slap seemed to lingered. None dare to open their mouth to speak.

Everything was starting to make sense now.

So Lucien really did have feelings for Charmaine. I wasn’t imagining things all this time. My gut was right. That explains why he was always so eager to be there for her, more than for anyone else. More than for me.

Not even Fate or our mating bond can stop him from following Charm around like some obsessive dog who always wants to be there for his possessive master.

Charmaine broke the silence.“Vesta, calm down. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding,” she urged, her voice reverberating with fake concern.

“Oh, there is a misunderstanding!” I turned to Alpha Lucien, who’s still clutching his face from my slap. “You’re dating me but you also want to date Charm?” I hissed, “Where does your loyalty and heart really lies, Alpha? Or it doesn’t get tired in living in lies?”

“Vesta, I’m sorry I missed our anniversary.” Alpha Lucien’s voice blasts through t

  • Fated Mates Torn By Hate (Werewolf Short Stories)   Epilogue

    Eris’ POV I had a nightmare. One about what should have happened. I wake up feeling hot, even if it should be cold due to the dampened earth’s smell and the thick forest’s canopy. I walked up until dawn was an hour away and decided to rest under the shade of a huge tree. I then put up a makeshift tent. Lighting a little fire using twigs and rubbing rough stones took a while though. And then I fell asleep. And had a fucking nightmare. And now I am here. The sun is a bright omen outside that I am alive and unharmed, its heat finally seeping into my skin, awakening me wholly. “Finally, you’re awake.” The voice was not familiar. I've never heard of it. But one thing I'm sure of: I’m inside a tent. The smell of cooking made me sit up. I only got as far as stretching my arms and legs when I discerned I was in an actual huge tent. No trees around. No makeshift tent can be found, the floor was now carpeted. The little fire I made was replaced with a roaring hearth, the sound of a boi

  • Fated Mates Torn By Hate (Werewolf Short Stories)   Chapter 14: This is a Nightmare

    Alpha Garrick’s POV The travel was shorter than I expected. Well, I was staying in a cabin nearest to the Rose Moon Pack along with my Beta Dennis. Though he obviously rushed back to our packhome after hearing the news of his wife. I was trained since I was a child to always be punctual, to be on time no matter what the occasion is. As we stopped by the pack gates of the Rose Moon Pack, a hint of rose and honey lulled me in immediately. It was sweet and beautiful and intoxicating. I bet that’s her scent too. “A-Alpha!” Alpha Arryn looks wholly startled. Sitting in the council room, I gave Eris’ father, Beta Earl, a nod of greeting and a warm smile to others in the room including two females. Her aunt and mother, I suppose. “Where is she?” I didn’t waste any time asking where she was. She’s probably preparing to depart with me by now. “There’s been…a little problem, Alpha Garrick,” Beta Earl’s voice hung in the air, scared and worried. “She’s still sleeping?” I mused. “She’s n

    I watched Aliza carefully slide her knife from her pocket. I watched as she walked with grace and confidence as the glinting knife dangled between her fingers. And then I watched when she tripped, holding the urge to laugh at how ridiculous her distraction was. “Hey, Al!” Rocco, bodyguard and Warrior, sprinted at Aliza, who was clutching her knees as if she was heavily wounded. “Stop crying, you’ll wake the Alpha!” But Aliza continued to sob. She bawled so loud that it shook the owls hooting in the nearby trees. Rocco wrapped his arms around Aliza, whose face showed utter concern and worry. He’ll take her to the infirmary as soon as possible no matter what. But my friend didn’t waste any heartbeat. Clutching his face, she pulled him to her. Their lips met instantly. I tiptoed from the shadow of the trees as they kissed soundly, aiming with all the silence I could summon until I reached the pack’s gates. My backpack was a heavy weight behind me. It’s so ironic to think that I’m

  • Fated Mates Torn By Hate (Werewolf Short Stories)   Chapter 12: Farewell

    Some might say I am being a coward this time. But if one asks me, this is being fucking brave. No one can pull this shit but me—which is running away on the eve before the Alpha I am engaged with will arrive. One thing I didn’t fake when I arrived in my actual room, not the room where they usually imprisoned me: I indeed packed my things. Swiftly but carefully, as if to show I am indeed taking my time to pack the things that I want to come with me in the Blood Moon Pack. As if I am relishing my last moments here in the pack where I was born. I reach for that innate power, that healing warm light inside me, and let it float before my palms. So strange that this little white light is the one thing that gonna make me a Luna. So strange that this ball of iridescent healing power is the one that gonna separate me from Alpha Arryn, and his child. The witch my parents hired made sure no one would sense my pregnant scent, as well as made sure that Alpha Garrick would never notice a bump

    I’m not lying though. I definitely want to see them die in Alpha Garrick’s hands. Perhaps I’ll just marry him and ask for my parents’ heads as the dowry instead.“We are leaders of this pack, Eris. Aside from being one of the best female Warriors here, you are also an excellent Healer even when you still can’t shift. The Moon Goddess made sure your gifts are well-known and respected. Why can’t you understand that?” My father ran a hand through his hair, “You are blessed. Yet here you are…wanting us to fight for you?! So many from our pack are willing to kill just to be married to an Alpha, yet you’re selfishness still triumphed in your heart.” Both my parents surveyed me from head to toe. “Your belly is not that big yet. The witch’s spell made sure of that. And on the night of your honeymoon with Alpha Garrick, he won’t notice a thing.”I heaved a deep sigh. They won’t understand me. “I don’t want to marry Alpha Garrick and I don’t want respect from another pack. I want Alpha Arryn to

    Eris' POV“You’re crazy, Father. How can you two do this to me?!” I did not care if my shrieking inside the office was deemed inappropriate for a Healer. I didn’t care the others gaped and gasped at my brazen attempt of humiliating him. Scolding him and showing to everyone what kind of an evil creature he is. His dark powers leaked from him, filling the room with hair-raising shadows. Well, there’s a reason why my father is a Beta and the Alpha’s right-hand male. “It has been done, Eris. There’s no turning back.” “What’s done is done.” My aunt’s words slapped me and pushed me further into despair and anger. “No. I will definitely not obey you this time!” “It is your duty to protect the pack. What do you think will happen if Alpha Garrick finds out you’re not interested in him? He’s an Alpha for the Moon Goddess’ sake, Eris! So just get on with it!” “I will not!” The finality in my tone made my father blink as
