Chapter 103 What to doGAEL’S POVMy body felt heavy. After such a long time staring into space like a zombie, I finally became conscious of my environment and myself. The first person I saw was Nia, and I thought I was dreaming until I grabbed her hand, and it turned out to be true. She had yanked my hand off her and warned me never to touch her again. I did as told and kept my hands to myself.Ezra informed me that she had saved me from the clutches of death when she could have refused. I will forever be grateful for that. But I can't seem to wrap my head around that he agreed for us to leave the minute I could move around by myself. It is the sixth day of us being here, according to him, and we will go today. I don't think I am ready to do that just yet.The door opened, and for a second, I thought it was Nia. It was Ezra; to my disappointment, since the day I had held her hand, a lovely old lady had been the only one attending to me. Nia must be avoiding me at all costs. I don't b
Chapter 104 Destined LoversGAEL’S POVHer voice had my heart racing when it settled in my ear. I turned around to see her, and everything that tightened in my chest loosened up immediately. I dusted off the invisible dirt on my trousers and held her gaze shyly. I have never been this tongue-tied in front of a lady before. Nia has a way of pulling so many unfamiliar emotions inside me. She looked impatient, eyes darted everywhere, refusing to focus on me."I am sure you heard me the first time. What do you think you are doing showing up every day and making everyone uncomfortable?" She questioned.I played with the tail of my hair and swallowed in discomfort. What the hell is wrong with me? I have rehearsed many things to say to her with my wolf, and I felt confident until two minutes ago that I knew how to bring her back to me. I tried to open my mouth, but everything seemed stuck in my throat.Nia scoffed with a glint of disappointment, "What was I expecting? Now that you have seen
Chapter 105 Happily Ever AfterNIA’S POVI yawned for the umpteenth time tiredly. I don't know why everyone in the house is suddenly interested in camping this late evening. I haven't been sleeping well for days, and just when I thought I would get the best of sleep today, I got dragged out of bed without my consent."I thought you said the place is not far from us. Why are we driving out of New Haven?" I asked Perry, who was seated next to me in the car. "Moreover, why did Grandma and Aunt Kylia go before us when we could have just gone together."Perry shrugged, staring at her phone. "They didn't want to disrupt your siesta."I snorted, "You disrupted it.” I retorted rudely.“Really Nia? Is that what we deserve for wanting to make you feel better?"I blinked guiltily. "I didn't mean to sound like that.""It's fine." She muttered, turning her face away from me.I sighed tiredly, knowing I hadn't been on my best behavior lately, and it was all because I couldn't seem to get a grip on
Chapter 1 Life of NiaNIA’S POVLife didn't exactly feel the same after the death of my mother; her death forced my father and me to run for our dear lives away from the Crescent pack into the woods. There is bad blood between humans and the werewolves. However, that didn't matter in my parents' case; it was love at first sight for both of them. My mum had found her mate in my father, who is a human. She didn't care about turning her back on her kind. My dad was a wandering explorer who settled wherever the nights met him. Being the daughter of the head of the omega clan in the Crescent pack, they had to let my mother and her love interest be. When they gave birth to me, it was a bit hard for everyone to accept a half-breed like myself, but they couldn't voice out their displeasure because of how vicious my mother could get. She is the pack's healer, and her presence is the bane of the pack's existence.Things went on smoothly until she got stuck with an unexplainable disease; a heale
Chapter 2 Wolf-less GirlNIA’S POV TEN YEARS LATERI thought meeting Levi and Stephanie Hayes was an answer to my prayers. But instead, it's the exact interpretation of going from the frying pan to the fire. The night Levi and Stephanie took me in, I received good treatment. However, their true colors couldn't resist showing off after they adopted me. Adoption felt like a great idea to me then, and unknowingly, I had sold myself to unlabeled slave traders. They made my life miserable; every day comes with a different dimension of maltreatment. They have three children, all older than I am. They go by Caleb, Kingston, and Mindy, respectively.Caleb and Mindy seem to harbor a different kind of hate towards me, but Kingston, on the other hand, is the sweetest sibling anyone can ever wish for. My misery started after living with them for about six months, and Mindy asked me to run with her in our wolf form. I still haven't shifted, and I didn't think it would be a problem u
Chapter 3 Alpha GaelGAEL’S POVI inhaled the air of the musty room, which might sound weird, but I like the smell that comes from the gathering of so many people in one place. It lets me feast my bright eyes on the most beautiful of all and make her mine. It's no longer news that the male population of the pack hates me. It's not like I care. I am the Alpha of the Sunset Pack, and I would get whoever and whatever I want. That is the perk of being the leader.My eyes roamed the room as I searched for my interest for the night. She is supposed to come to me today. I don't need to worry much about her refusing me because many of my concubines willingly give themselves off to me. However, I am generous enough to pay a reasonable amount for them. I try to make my subjects happy. Being a delight to the eyes, people with good eyesight love to feast on me. For some reason, I find myself unnecessarily patient with this new girl.I have been seeking her face for a long while, but she fades off
Chapter 4 A commodityNIA’S POVAt this point, I have to agree with fate; I'm not among the lucky folks the goddess chooses to grant whatever wish they desire. When I thought I could run and never return with Kingston's help, despite my broken heart and cluelessness, I didn't mind picking up my pace. It's frustrating that I'll be returning home to the Hayes home.However, I didn't get the chance to run too far before Mindy caught up with me. I hate that I'm a half-breed. The disadvantage of being half wolf and half human is that you can never speed up enough or better than a full wolf. I have no idea how Mindy found out about me leaving when Kingston had shielded me from curious eyes. I thought I had gone far enough to rest, but Mindy jumped out of nowhere and scratched my face.Despite my struggle to free myself and fight back, her bones crushed me, and when it felt like she might kill me, I gave in—surrendering myself to a miserable life and accepting that I would never be free. I f
Chapter 5 The half-breedGAEL’S POVFor a while now, I haven't felt this kind of excitement about meeting a new concubine. Entering the room and seeing her in the dress that I had Gemma pick out personally has me very intrigued. I knew she would have a fit when she eventually saw the dress on another lady, but I would worry about that later—probably take her on another wild shopping spree like she loves. My eyes lingered on her as I shut the door behind me. She is shy, her eyes darting back and forth to avoid mine."What's your name?" I asked."Nia," she mumbled in a low tune.As I got closer, an odd smell emitted from her wolf; it didn't feel whole. Standing at the foot of the bed, it became stronger. "What's that smell?" I asked.She finally looked up at me, and those were indubitably the most beautiful emerald eyes I have ever seen. Damn! Now I remember the exact reason I insisted on having her. Her kind of looks are rare to find. It's a good thing I jumped on the moving wagon on t
