“Why?” That was all I asked. Just one word because I didn’t know what else to say anyway.
Inigo understands the question though because he starts to open up in a way I hadn’t expected him to.
“We don’t believe in mates. Supposedly.” He began and already I was so confused. What kind of wolves didn’t believe in them? It doesn’t make any sense.
“It- it’s complicated, but basically mates make us weak. We consider them as a weakness, so a lot of the wolves from Blazing Wolves actually choose who they want to be with based on strength, not by bond. Mate bonds are impractical because you can’t choose who you want to be with and sometimes the bond overpowers you that you can’t do anything else, but follow
River Colden I didn’t think it could happen so soon, and though it still felt surreal, I took in everything that was happening as much as I could in fear of it being taken away from me out of nowhere. “Have you ever gone inside one? A treehouse?” I asked Neo who was seated next to me, a bowl of chips in between his legs as his eyes were glued on the television screen where kids formed a club inside a treehouse. It was day two since Keira had disappeared and while I was of course worried, the best thing I could do during this situation was to keep Neo safe and ultimately, take his mind away from the fact that his mother wasn’t here yet. It did take a while for him to warm up to me, but after what Titus said to him yesterday, I brought out some toys and we began to play together. Zane would join from time to time, but he was more focused on helping in regards to Keira’s disappearance. Neo shook his head. “I didn’t even know they existed!” He said as his eyes lit up as he continued
Titus Bane Two Days Ago “Are you serious? You’re seriously stepping down as Alpha? What– how– no, that– that’s not a good idea!” Cyrus was at a loss for words. It was obvious as he kept stammering and was unable to finish a proper sentence. We had just captured a wolf that is, as far as we know, a part of the group who have chosen to betray their Pack and their Alpha, so technically speaking they can already be considered rogues. I just didn’t think it would happen to my Pack. Or maybe I did. I guess it was only a matter of time that others decided to rebel against me because of the way I ruled as Alpha in the Blazing Wolves. I admit that I am strict, that I like to do things with a hard conviction, and maybe a lot of them saw it as ruthless or merciless, but I honestly didn’t see it that way. I used to think I was doing them all a favor. All I wanted was to raise a Pack that was strong, indestructible, and ones that were ready to face anyone and anywhere. No weaknesses. Some
My head felt like it was being smashed by Thor’s hammer constantly and my throat was as dry as the Sahara desert. “Water… water…” I managed to mumble as I let my hand out, trying to reach for something, anything. A few seconds later, I hear some noise at the side and a straw is placed near my lips. Without thinking of anything else, I quickly take long sips to quench my thirst. “Slowly, slowly or you’ll choke on the water.” The deep voice said and hearing that as well as coming back to my senses because I was no longer dehydrated made me realize that I was not alone in the room. After getting enough water, I push myself to open my eyes and that’s when I see a familiar face smiling back at me. “Zane…” I say barely audible as I’m still trying to get my voice back. It sounded rough and coarse like I have somehow been screaming for three hours non stop. “Hey, don’t talk so much yet. You’re still healing. Do you want ginger and lemon tea? It’s good for your throat.” Zane asks as
Zane stared at me like I had just cursed at him. “What? What did he do? He saved both you and Neo, K. What are you talking about?” He looked at me like I had gone mad and I could understand his confusion. For someone who did so much for me and my son, he was probably thinking I was ungrateful for calling him a monster. “You don’t get it, Zane. I… The reason I was taken. It’s because of him. He… he’s a ruthless Alpha and I need to get out of here. We both need to get out of here!” I pushed his hands away so that I could get off of the bed. “K, calm down. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I think I have some idea.” He turned away from me as he looked like he was getting something out of his pocket. He then looked back at me as he was now holding out a piece of paper in between us. “What is that?” I looked at it and back at him. He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s from Titus. Whatever he did, it must be explained there. You know honestly, I was also confused as to why he a
“Why is your hair white? Are you old?” Trinity asked as he looked at Zane like he’s a television show character and not a real live person. Zane let out a soft laugh. “Come on now, I’m a young buck. Just like everyone here, including you, have different shades of red on your hair, back in my Pack we have shades of white, silver, and blonde.” “Oh… You’re like Elsa!” Trinity squealed. “Do you know Let It Go? Can you sing it? Pretty please? Can you make ice come out of your hands too? Please, Uncle Zane!” Trinity stood up from the blanket we had laid out on the grass and started singing and twirling around, her tutu skirt swirling around with her. It reminded me of Elura and Wynter. Trinity would gush if she ever saw the two because she’d think they were really Elsa. “Yeah, Uncle Zane, go and sing with her.” I said to the already blushing-from-embarrassment man next to me. “Alright, alright, but if any of this appears online, I’m suing for emotional damage.” He announced before
I think Titus was hearing the same thing as well because the next thing I knew, his one hand is on the side of my face and his face is only inches apart from mine that I could feel his warm breath on me. “Tell me… to stop…” He looks like he’s having an internal battle with his words. He says it, but his eyes don’t mean what he said so I don’t know which to believe. “I…” My heart is beating so loud I can’t even hear my own thoughts anymore. All I know is that my body has somehow gone on autopilot and it’s moving closer… and closer… The moment he moved, although infinitesimal, seemed like a giant leap that made my heart stop because before I could process what was going on, his lips were on mine. Hot and sweet, soft and supple, I can taste the tanginess of the lemonade he had just drank before stepping out that Trinity and I hand squeezed this morning. My stomach trembles as the butterflies in them go absolutely and undoubtedly insane. This is what a kiss is with your mate. This
The plane lands smoothly on the runway and I am equal parts excited and dreadful.I am excited to see my son after two weeks of being away from him. It’s the longest we had ever been apart from each other. Frankly, I’m surprised I lasted that long, but it wasn’t my choice. I had to put fully recovering as my priority.But at the same time, I am dreading this whole ordeal because I know that I’m not ready.Then again, I know I never really will be.I often told myself–and others– that I was over it, that so many years have passed and I don’t let it affect me any more. For the most part, it is true, but it still doesn’t change the past. What happened ha
The air between Zane and I was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.He shakes his head and lets out a forced chuckle before turning to me with a smile that could barely be considered as one. “But that’s all in the past.”Oh… He must have meant his mate. Shit. I didn’t think he was still affected by it and now it makes sense as to why he seemed so uncomfortable with the topic.“Beklager (sorry), Frost.” I tell him with a meek smile and that’s when he turns to me and for a few seconds, he just looks at me in silence as if he’s contemplating to say something, but I can’t figure out what.He gives me a small smile. “I told you b
