Short Novel's Blurb:Left by her engaged Alpha for his first love, Farrah decides to return home to her home pack where she runs away seven years ago. But upon returning home, she found out her brother is now the Alpha of her pack and the pack that tried to attack them seven years ago. Farrah, even when her heart is broken by an Alpha once, found herself drawn to the mysterious right-hand of her brother: the cursed troll named Roland. ***Chapter 1 Seven years of love with Alpha Heather misted away like the smoke of a dying fire. I stood outside their private room, the one where he and his friends are catching up. Apparently, it wasn't just a simple catch up. When it was supposed to be me to surprise him that I managed to finish early at my job at the pack's hospital, it was me who was surprised instead. "Isn't Farrah a burden to you? You've kept her far longer than a rebound girl should be." I knew th
Adrianna's welcome party is a hell disguised as a paradise. "Thank you for coming here, Farrah." As Heather smiled and thanked me, I couldn't find that trace of wicked laugh or cruel sentiments towards me yesterday. Nothing. It just disappeared, or perhaps it all retreated behind this mask he's currently wearing. "Thank you for changing your mind," he added. "Well, I guess no is not an acceptable answer," I jokingly said, but in reality, it really felt like it: I've got no choice but to attend. Perhaps this is my punishment for running away from an almost dying pack and leaving all of it behind to my older brother Jacob. I don't even know if he's the Alpha now or if the Dark Moon Pack has been dissolved to be one with the Black Sun Pack. "Smile, babe." Alpha Heather's purr tickled my ears. His hand rested on my back, just above my ass as we entered the hotel Adrianna had prepared for us. His touch, that used to be affectionate and romantic, felt like a touch of malice and ruin.
The diamond ring on my finger felt heavier than Adrianna's words. I opened my mouth to say something, but Adrianna is already striding away. I was left alone with the weight of her words crushing my heart. Perhaps I was wrong. All it takes to destroy me and my future is from the words of a woman I just met minutes ago. Did I just run away from a pack of chaos and jump right in the pack that has bombarded me with betrayal? I think this is really my punishment for all those years: from Alpha Heather's betrayal to Adrianna's outright claim of my fiance. I'm finally doomed after all these years of hiding and running away. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and went to wash my hands, my face, and even fixed my hair. I'm not going to act like I'm defeated in front of Heather. Adrianna might have won with the way of her words, but I'm still standing here. Alpha Heather will still come home to me. The diamond ring around my finger proves it. Or maybe it's the fancier leash he c
"Jacob?" I barely heard my own voice with its softness. Uttering his name made my tears worse. "How..." My throat bobbed, "How are you?""I'm fine, Farrah." He briefly paused, and then, "How about you? Are you okay? You sound...upset."Even seven years later, he can still tell how I feel with the way I speak. "I'm-" I shook my head. There's no use in lying again to the brother I just contacted now. "I am upset. I'm not okay.""Tell me how you became upset."I gripped my phone tighter even with my shaking. "Running away is something I realized I'm not good at. I want to come back home, Jacob." Not really a lie, but not the whole truth."Come home." It was more of a plea than a suggestion. "Come home, Farrah."Home? So does that mean...the Dark Moon Pack survived the Black Sun Pack's attack? Does that mean my home survived the flames?"I-Okay, Jacob."Jacob has no hesitation. No further questions. Just the pure urge to see me again in our pack. I don't know if I should call him by his n
There they are. I finally caught them red-handed.Heather and Adrianna. Entangled in our bed sheets. His hands in her ass while Adrianna was facing the bed frame as he fucked her from behind.These cheaters hadn't even heard me enter my own apartment.A moment later, Heather found me standing by the door. He immediately pulled away but Adrianna's moan and laughter became louder."Farrah, babe-" Alpha Heather started.But I shook my head and cursed at them. "Fuck you."I couldn't even gasp or cry a tear. And the diamond engagement ring on my finger felt like a joke.This is really the right choice: to leave Heather and his seven years of 'love' behind and return to the past I ran away from.I'm gonna return to my brother. And this time, I'm not bringing anything with me.The cool night air slapped me into the bitter reality that the time has come that I finally face my own demons."Where are your things, Farrah?" Roland's mouth quivered to the side."No. And I don't have the guts to ge
Seven years ago...They have come. The Black Sun Pack has come.And even when I knew they would be attacking at the exact day and at the exact hour, I didn't tell my brother.I couldn't tell my brother.Maybe it was the coward in me that didn't dare step up for my pack. Or maybe it was my father's selfishness in beating and abusing me first rather than facing his enemies head-first. He didn't even know they're coming right into his home.I immediately sprinted away from the packhouse. But everywhere I look, chaos meets my eyes: the burning of houses, Betas fighting the Black Sun Pack's Betas, Omegas being dragged by their Betas-I wouldn't be surprised if my father will not see the dawn tomorrow. Or even have a head to do so.Perhaps this is how fate unravelled how my vengeance to my father should be: leading the enemy right on my father's doorstep, my own pack be damned.But my brother..."My brother will survive." That was what I told myself, what I convinced myself.He will survive
Though I’m born and used to being a direct relative to an Alpha, I never received such luxurious treatment like this.I only did now that my brother is an Alpha. My Alpha—the new Alpha I shall look up to and answer to.Back when my father was the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack, back when he was still alive, I didn't even have my own room. I rarely feel an Alpha’s daughter under his reign. I rarely receive the warmth of a father’s love.The water in the bathtub was cool and soothing as I sank deeper. Not too cold and not too hot.Drowned in deep thoughts, I first thought someone was calling me from the bedroom. I shook my head, thinking it was just my imagination.It was just ten minutes of relishing and letting my body soak in the delicious waters when the door loudly opened. Each step he took echoed with anger.He shouted, “You!” The stranger pointed one threatening finger to me. His tone was more malicious than Adrianna’s. “How dare a maid use my room without my permission—”I was stil
To say the garden is beautiful is an understatement. It was beyond breath-taking. I felt out of place with the place’s magnificent architecture and design.With my bright red dress, my brother's eyes immediately found mine. His hard expression earlier melted away and is now back to the brother who always protected me from our father’s merciless violence.I was actually now more comfortable approaching him when I noticed someone slid from the cover of lush roses from Jacob’s right: Roland.He smiled, and the sky seemed to brighten even more.I frowned, but my face betrayed me as Jacob and Roland surely noted the reddening of my cheeks.A flicker of sorrow crossed my brother’s face briefly. But it instantly vanished as soon as he looked between us and Roland, replaced by a secret smile. “When you left, everything changed, Farrah. Not just how I looked,” he waved a hand to himself then to the troll beside him, “or to Roland’s arrival.”He paused and sighed. “I'm sorry you have to find ou
In my mind, I am sure Alpha Killian had no choice but to accept my decision since my father's pack was stronger. I was originally an arranged marriage to him. But when we met, we found out we were mates. But I have loved Killian since I was seven. For twenty years, I have dedicated my life and heart to him.At first, I thought we were fated mates like those love stories I heard where the mates will definitely love each other until their last breath. But now that he wasn't even there when we were attacked and when our daughter died...He was with another she-wolf, I know. I also know Nicole is his childhood love all along.But abandoning me and Deanna just like that just so he can fuck his first love...he didn't even come to check on us!Killian came banging on our bedroom room when I was packing but I made sure it was four times locked. "SELLYN! SELLYN, OPEN THE DOOR-LET'S TALK!"His shriek could have shaken the whole pack, but my tears can drown the entire world now that my one and o
“It’s too late, Luna,” the Head Doctor looked me straight in my sorrow-filled eyes, “Deanna has lost a lot of blood. We have done all we could. Besides, the Rogue's bites are beyond repair. We can only hope for a miracle from the Moon Goddess now, nothing else.”I simply nodded absentmindedly. But deep down, I was empty. My joy, my daughter, left me.I left the room before my tears could escape as soon as the pack healer informed me of my daughter’s death.I swallowed. Anger and the thirst for vengeance crashed into me, drowning me like a rising tide.My daughter died—without seeing her father. My daughter died not having a hug from her Alpha father. Her final simple request wasn’t even fulfilled. Her birthday party ended with her own death.I glanced back at her bluish-silver dress. She was still wearing her moon tiara even with her last breath.And even with her last breath, Alpha fucking Killian is nowhere to be found.“Is the Alpha still taking care of that matter about the easter
My wolf, Chenault, immediately took over and shifted. Her great gray fur immediately joined the scene. Chenault howled, and it halted the fight between the Rogues and my pack for a heartbeat-before returning to the chaos.I immediately went for Deanna, who was already crying while hugging her wolf stuff toy. Chenault swiped once at the Rogue that pounced at her and blood sprayed. She growled and the Rogue stepped back, not realizing the river was the one behind him.A splash wet my paws but I was already moving.I urged my daughter to climb my back. She was just one foot away when we were knocked down by two black wolves. Green and blue eyes respectively met my Chenault's amber gaze. I didn't hesitate to engage in a fighting mode my Alpha King father taught me how to deal with a two-versus-one fight.Deanna's crying pierced my ears and I mind-linked Beta Hestia and Beta Lucas. But they were nowhere to be found. They're even out of my sight, probably fighting their own battle.I posit
Short Story's Blurb:As my mate, Alpha Killian, arrived at our daughter's seventh birthday party, joy filled the air. But just moments later, he received word of Rogue sightings at the pack's border and left immediately. I tried to mask my worry, promising our daughter he'd return soon. Just as the laughter echoed around the river, Rogues attack us out of the blue. Just as I rushed to protect my daughter, she was already dying and it was already too late to save her.Meanwhile, my Alpha was spending sweet moments with his mistress, Nicole, breaking my already-broken heart into millions of pieces. ***Chapter 1"Happy Birthday, Deanna!" I smiled gleefully.My seven-year-old cheerful daughter dropped her wolf stuffed toy and rushed to hug me. "Thank you, Mommy. But where's Daddy?"Her joyous face was immediately replaced with a sad one. I brushed the hair from her face and kissed her cheeks. "Daddy
After that day of telling the truth to Miles, he didn't come home again. Clarke hasn't even contacted me since.One day, while I was scrolling through my phone, I received a photo from Miles.Coincidentally, Miles' car stopped by the road to where I was sitting on a bench.The passenger-side window rolled down, revealing my former fiancé's handsome face. "Get in. I'll take you home."Nichole waved at me from the driver's seat. "Gayle, we came to pick you up. You're our friend after all."They looked like a couple just swinging by to pick up a friend. I forced myself to stand up and willed myself not to vomit on their faces.Miles seemed to sense my actions as he got out of the car before I could sprint away and grabbed my arm. "How long are you going to keep this shit up?" his tone was wholly frustrated and less angry."As long as you keep doing this 'I'm the best boyfriend' kind of shit." Miles didn't say anything else when I just brushed past him. Of course, I rejected his offer by
He stood up and quickly hugged me. We both fell back on my bed mattress. "I didn't marry Nichole."His breath was warm on my cheeks but my hand didn't dare move as I tried to caress his face."Miles..."He swallowed and stared at my lips. "Tomorrow night, I'm rescheduling our wedding. You'll apologize to Clarke and the entire Wolf Moon Pack. Nichole will be there too."My broken heart cracked into a thousand broken pieces again. "So I was the one who's wrong yesterday?"He inhaled a sharp breath and quickly removed his body from mine. "Of course you are. You ruined the whole wedding and-and what you did to Clarke and Nichole wasn't polite at all.""I ruined the wedding?!" I muttered each word slowly, shoving that urge to laugh at the Alpha's statement deep in my bones."Was I supposed to just stand there and watch my fiancé embrace and kiss another female the night before our wedding?"Miles shot to his feet and anger rumbled in his presence again. "I told you it's just a pack traditi
Despite his gasp of surprise, I kissed him passionately and forcefully.While Miles and Nichole had only kissed for ten seconds, I kissed Clarke for more than thirty seconds, nearly snatching his breath and soul away.As soon as our lips parted, Beta Clarke came to his senses and pushed me away. Everyone was dumbfounded. Nichole was utterly shocked. And Miles...his furious stare could bring down the heavens.Clarke's past reprimands echoed in my head:"Gayle, how many times have I told you that Miles and Nichole are just good friends? Hugging your friends and kissing them is completely normal. I don't get why you're so jealous of them.""We feel sorry for Miles, dealing with a controlling and obsessive freak like you. He's got no freedom at all.""If it were me, I would have just left you and married Nichole. You two shouldn't even be together for eight years!"I looked at Miles with a triumphant gaze as I spoke, "Well, it seems I just did my own pre-wedding pack tradition of kissing
"Gayle, what's your deal?" Miles' breathing was uneven as he looked around and then back to me. "Okay, I'm sorry for the slap earlier but you triggered us!"Miles grabbed the bouquet from Nichole's hand and threw it to the floor, scattering the red and pink petals everywhere. The whole pack was just watching us beneath their gossipful noses.When I didn't answer, the Alpha finally lost his temper and shouted, "Gayle Snow, where did I go wrong?!"I let out a cold laugh as I closed the distance between us. "How could you be wrong, Miles? It's me who was always wrong, aren't I?" I paused as I glimpsed Nichole and somehow, she stepped back. "You're foolishly perfect, Alpha. There's nothing wrong with you."But Miles scented the sarcasm and the immense anger bright in my eyes. "Gayle, this is just a pre-wedding tradition. I'm sure the Snow Moon Pack also does that. Why are you angry?""I'm not. I'm just..." I threw Nichole a glance for emphasis. "I'm just tired."I want this drama to end s
The slap was full of anger and despise. Almost as if he was not the Alpha Miles I came to love for the past years.“And that,” I announced with a furious grin as I pointed at him, “ladies and gentlemen, is why I’m not fit to be married to Miles. I won’t marry an Alpha who beats his Luna in front of his pack.”“Miles!” Nichole’s call cut through the tension. And I saw how the Alpha’s expression softened at his bestfriend's behest. “Please,” she pleaded. I don’t know what she’s begging of him but it was enough for me to step back and clenched my fingers to a fist.Looking at both of them, it seems the Alpha I love only care about Nichole. It seems as if I never existed in his life even though I did everything I could for him. I offered my heart and mind and soul to him. I gave him everything I had. Yet, he only returned his affection to me for the first four years of our relationship. As soon as Nichole returned after studying from another pack, Miles changed. Everything fucking cha
