Darkness of the basement was unable to engulf the shine of silver dagger placed on the table before Alpha Eric. It was his father’s gift on his eighteenth birthday and first Mating Ceremony, a token of his wishing for abundance and happiness. Currently, it was Eric’s only bosom buddy, he was sharing his misery with it.Three bottles down, he was emptying the fourth bottle of whiskey like a mad man, an ominous thought was turning into a resolute decision in his mind. Being intoxicated by alcohol was not subsiding the fire in his heart, only elevating it further. On the quest to find something stronger than this, he got up with that dagger in his hand, staggering towards the other corner of the large room.“Fuck!”Eric hardly moved a step or two forward and fell on the ground. He took deep breaths and rubbed his blurry eyes, his extraordinary vision was hazy due to Rick’s blackout.Right after the first bottle, Rick hid himself in the darkness, ignoring Eric’s wretchedness. Having no sup
“Congratulations, Luna!”Listening to this most awaited good wishes, Lily doesn’t whole day soaring high in the sky. After her husband’s death, Eric was her only life source, an apple of her eyes. Her son’s repeated failed relationships were her constant worry, rendering her sleepless nights.Now, this celebration in Pack was the end of the era of grim and shadows. Her wolf (Veronica) was on cloud nine, her dream of becoming a grandmother was a matter of days.Later at night, she was about to sleep when she suddenly felt an unease in her heart. “My pup!”Veronica howled, urging Lily to go check on him.“It’s so ill-mannered of you to check on your mated son at this time. Don’t angry me.”Her scolding didn’t affect her agitated wolf, she growled back at her.“My pup is worried. Move!”As Lily also felt a pit in her stomach, she abandoned the comfort of her soft bed and rushed towards the Eric’s room.But a lock outside of the door shocked her, confirming the source of her
“Little one!”Eric’s warning growl followed his lightening speed movement, he caught the case before it could hit the wall.“What was that, little one?”Not feeling hungry anymore, Charlotte pushed the tray away.“I didn’t like your present, can’t you get it?”Happiness of the yummy meal vanished in thin air, she resumed her work to it ignore him.“It’s not a simple present, it’s my family’s heirloom. You have to wear it as Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.”Eric’s honest reply confused her, Charlotte raised her brow.“Why? I heard that this was a rejected article from Princess Sophia.”While typing an answer, Charge gave him a stink eye.“Who told you this rubbish?”Eric was offended with the fake story attached to his Pack’s property.“Roslie.”Charlotte’s one worded reply was enough for him to get the whole tale. He sat beside her and held her free hand.“Look, I don’t know why, but Roslie lied to you. You can ask any elder in this Pack or in the Council, they will tell you the same th
The head Priest’s (Flora) genuine smile guided them inside the prayer area.“Do you remember this lamp?”Charlotte saw that bright holy lamp, and the chaos she caused that day flashed across her mind.“It didn’t extinguish because of me. I swear.”Thinking that Flora would blame her for that incident, Charlotte immediately clarified her point.“It was the Moon Goddess’s way of testing you, Luna.”Flora put some oil in the lamp and clasped her hands together.“This holy fire represents the Dietor bloodline of the Silver Moon Pack. When you ignited it, your fate was sealed with Alpha Eric.It was the Heaven’s way of giving you a choice for your life.”“Seriously, Moon Goddess?”Charlotte’s accusing gaze fell at the Goddess’s sculpture,“So you were on instant reply mode that day. Couldn’t be you more specific about the details?How in this universe I could get your point by this silly earthen diya?”Charlotte complained to the Moon Goddess in her heart, cursing her impulsiveness.“Eric’
Loud music and enchanting beauties in the city pub was not enough to catch the Beta Noah’s attention, only annoying him more.Being a pureblood Beta, the punishment of cooking for omegas was way more humiliating for him, their mocking gazes and harsh comments dampened his soul.He placed his hand on his heart as a pang of agony cut through it, he yelped in pain. After marking, Angie’s sadness was injuring his already wounded soul, but the fire of jealousy was intense like never before.“Why? Why I got a slut as my mate?”This question was out of his mind. Vicky was suggesting to burn the world with his rage, considering him the most unlucky wolf in the world.The mate for Noah was a heavenly thing, so sacred that he had to respect it with every possible method.Being raised by his sister, he followed the footsteps of Milly and stayed single, saving himself for his mate. She always taught him that his mate would also be doing the same, somewhere in the community. So, it became essentia
Charlotte’s eyes popped out at the silver sag A-line gown, she was checking its silver beaded net bodice on a flowing chiffon silhouette.“Why? What’s the occasion?”She thought that Eric had invited everyone for the Mating Ceremony, informing her at the last minute.“Nothing special, just a trip around the Pack.It came to my mind that you haven’t seen the land that you are ruling.”Charlotte rolled her eyes at Eric’s feeble attempt to flatter her.“I am busy.”She used her work as an excuse instantly. They agreed before that Eric will not hinder her work, in return, she will take part in Luna’s duties.“You have no work today, not until your laptop arrives.”Eric caught her lie, he had heard about the courier from Amy. Charlotte had ordered her work supplies from America to arrange an office there too.“I don’t like this dress!”Her other excuse was dismissed by Eric’s casual reply.“This gown is according to your liking. I ordered it after confirming about your preferences.”“You c
A day without Eric was Charlotte’s ultimate dream, but she started feeling strange with in half an hour of his departure. Her hunger vanished, mood worsened and she felt so lazy, wanting to spend the whole day in bed.“Ugh!What is this nonsense?”Charlotte knew that it’s the attraction of the mate-bond, her soul was empty with the absence of her soulmate.To freshen her mind, she came out for a walk at night, roaming in the streets. Walking mindlessly for some time, she reached the entrance of the forest and remembered,“Liam must be back from the US.”Looking forward to spend some quality time with him, she sauntered towards his house. The familiar scent of Liam was perfuming the area around his cabin, announcing his return.“So irresponsible, Liam. You didn’t even report me.”Charlotte bit her lip and looked at the wooden cabin whose door was flung opened.“A thief!”Dismissing this possibility after scenting the area, Charlotte entered the house cautiously,“Liam?”Then she almost
Charlotte and Liam looked at each other and sprinted towards the Pack entrance, urgency to see the live action overpowered their minds.The sun was rising in the East and several wolves were gathered in the town square. They stopped there and inquired an omega.“What’s the matter?”“It’s Beta Noah.”He pointed at the direction where he left a moment ago. Following his lead, they found a messed up man kneeling on the floor.“Mate!”Noah’s swollen eyes and worn out condition was quite concerning for her, but none of the Pack members was showing any sympathy towards him.Charlotte stepped forward to ask about the situation but Liam grabbed her arm.“Look!”Luna Lily came out of the Pack house, her soft caring face was ashen with acrimony.“Why are you here, Beta Noah? Go to work.”Her stern command caught him off guard, he clasped his hands and begged.“Let me see my mate. I, I can’t breathe.”“Angie!”Charlotte’s heart sank as a realization hit her hard.“Noah’s condition and his crying
