(This chapter includes sexual elements. Reader discretion is advised.) – Titus Bane – Everything is calm. So calm that it feels rather weird after everything that has happened. Chaos and destruction is all I have ever known for the most part, but now that I’m settled down at my place in my Pack, just watching the once green leaves now a mix of orange, yellow, and other Autumn colors sway with the wind, everything feels…peaceful. I closed my eyes and took a deep inhale, the smell of nature filled my senses and it invigorates me. An image of her pops up in my head almost like second nature to me. She is beautiful. The most beautiful woman to ever exist on this earth, and that’s saying a lot because this earth could be ugly and cruel, but not her, not my mate. Sometimes I still wonder what I had done in my past life to deserve someone as perfect as her, and I stop and think if this is just a dream, if everything in my life is just my imagination, and if it was, I hope to never wake
“You pathetic whore!” One slap across the right side of my face. I pursed my lips as I stopped myself from shedding any tears. Not again. Not anymore. “How dare you show your vile face in front of me? Seeing you disgusts me, Keina!” Another slap, this time on the left side. My cheeks begin to feel numb and at the same time, I feel it starting to get swollen. I already know this will make me look awful in the next coming minutes as it bruises on my face. My life has been like this for a while now. Whenever Ivy sees me alone, she uses this as an opportunity to hurt me. She makes sure that I know my place and that it is at the bottom with the dirt. “Please, Ivy, tha- that’s enough. I- I didn’t even know that y- you would be here. I am just coming back from cleaning the rooms.” I managed to croak out as I lifted my hands up to my cheek. I wince from the pain. They felt so warm, it was almost like touching fire. “Excuse me? Are you talking back at your Luna? You’re nothing but a low
Life really sometimes works in mysterious (and heartbreaking) ways. One day you feel like you’re on cloud nine, and then the next, it’s like you’ve been pushed and you’re falling, falling, and falling until you’ve hit rock bottom and nobody is there to help you up. You’re all alone and you tell yourself that you can do it, that you can keep going, and sometimes it works. You do that. You keep pushing yourself. But other times, the worse it gets, you realize that you were just fooling yourself and what you’re doing isn’t helping. It’s just torturing you. You’re walking into your own downfall, your own demise. So why not just give up? Why not just disappear? Wouldn’t that be better for everyone else around you? “Oh my goddess, Keira. I’m so sorry…” Elura whispered to me as she took my hand as if that would suddenly change the fact that every single one in our Pack just saw me get treated like shit. To top it off, River didn’t even care. He didn’t say anything. Hell, he didn’t e
I could sense him. I could sense River nearby, probably right outside my door, which woke me up immediately. I didn’t even bother to see how stupid I looked after falling asleep crying. I got up off the bed and began to sprint towards it, the thought of seeing River and being able to talk to him again fueled everything inside of me. “You’re a fucking idiot, River!” I froze when I heard someone else scream at him. It was Zane. I know his voice, and I know that he was extremely frustrated at him. “Don’t talk to me like that. I’m still your Alpha.” River spoke and his voice sent shivers all over my body. It’s only been a few hours and it was as if my body was already having withdrawals. Just hearing his voice triggered something in me and I needed to pull myself together if I didn’t want to break down again. “I’m talking to you not as your Beta, but as your best friend. Don’t leave Keira hanging like this. Don’t treat her like this.” Zane spoke again, a sense of determination
When the evening came, everyone went to the White Banquet to have a celebration for the Alpha’s mate. Ever since she arrived, all she’s done is prepare for parties. I’m not even sure if she does any work around here. The kitchen worked overtime to create a special feast for them and many of the other White Howlers set up decorations around the place. After River left, I took a long bath and scrubbed my skin raw until it turned red. After that, I went back to bed and slept for as long as I could. I woke up from the noise. Even if I haven’t moved an inch from my bed since then, I knew what was going on downstairs because I could hear said noise and smell the food from my room. Honestly, my whole world still felt like it was falling apart, but in a somewhat different sense. Before River talked to me, I remained hopeful that he would see I still mattered to him and he would keep me in his life as someone special. But after he told me to put everything we had just like a memory, or a
But it was too late. I couldn’t run away without looking suspicious and besides, she was partially blocking my way. I have to talk to her and pray to the Goddess that whatever this is, I get out of it immediately and in one piece. “Uh… hi…” I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before finding a piece of small leaf on it and quickly throwing it away hoping she didn’t see it. She chuckled. She saw it. Damn it. “You weren’t at the Banquet last night. You missed a really good party.” She said and acted as if what she did yesterday didn’t happen at all. What the hell kind of game was she trying to play here? “Uh… I was asleep.” I responded before my eyes wandered around her, trying my best to look everywhere but her because my insecurities will get the best of me if I look at her more. I hate that she’s pretty much perfect in every aspect and exactly how everyone expected for River’s mate to be like. And though River’s parents and his younger brother Skye had to leave on the
I look away. Closing my eyes as I took deep and steady breaths.It may be what I’ve always wanted, but I won’t take a life for it. Besides, I was not like her. I don’t hurt people no matter how shitty they are. I will never be like her.This was my fate and I’m starting to come to terms with it.Before the villainous woman could say anything else, I shifted back into my wolf form, not bothering to take my clothes off as I just wanted to get out of there. I saw the shock in her eyes and the way her body had stiffened before I turned around and ran away.I let the cool wind brushing against
Banished. The word echoed in my head like a nightmare, but that’s not even the worst part of it. It’s the fact that River told me he never wanted to see me again. Just a few days ago I was having the best time of my life with him. I was sure that this was where I belonged and believed one day that I was going to start my own family here. Now I was running to my room in tears and as soon as I got there, I started pulling my things out. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I was just kicked out of my own home while the ones that I considered my family did nothing but stare. The only one that actually bothered to show any kind of compassion was Zane. I could feel his presence near my room, but he didn't come any closer. He can’t. After being banished, no one is allowed to go near them or communicate in any way. It’s a crime punishable by torture. It didn’t seem like a big deal back then because the banished is supposed to be someone so horrible to a fault that you never even want to
