London Hale
It's been hours since I've been sitting in a bar, drowning myself in bottle after bottle of whisky and vodka. I had hoped to drown my consciousness in reality or find solace in the bottom of the bottles of Alcohol.I hiccuped, staring at the phone, my vision blurry enough to not see who was calling.My phone has been going off since I left the house, and I had no intention of answering the calls or talking to anyone.A part of me was hoping it was Leah who kept calling and sending hundreds of text messages so that I could take her back and we could start all over.Stupid, I know, but I couldn't just stop loving her immediately."Sir, we're closing soon." The young man said this while serving me my last shot of whisky. I hummed in response and proceeded to slug it down my throat.Fuyu was worried about my heavy drinking as well, wandering about in my head and howling in an attempt to make me stop."You need to stop drinking; it's not good for our bodies." This won't solve the problem," Fuyu said."Will you cut it out already? I think I am old enough to know what's good for me." I growled at him, but he just howled at me in response.The young bartender looked at me worrisomely, and I clicked my tongue dryly. I was tired of everyone telling me what to do with my life; maybe they were right anyway, and I was bad at making good decisions.Take Leah, for example."How much is my bill?" I asked, slightly irritated.He barely spoke before I dropped a hundred-dollar bill on the table and swayed to my feet. I wanted somewhere to rest my head and forget my misery, and I contemplated calling Vanessa, my girlfriend turned ex.As I had met Leah, my mate, I broke it off with Vanessa without batting an eye, but unfortunately, Leah didn't think it was necessary on her part to stop sleeping around and keep her legs close.Perhaps Vanessa could numb my misery for a while.I made a mental note to drive to her place, and once inside my car, I fished out the key from my pocket. I turned on the ignition and began driving off into the night. I was drunk as fuck and could barely see, but I didn't really care, seeing as it was really late and no one else would possibly be driving.My phone began ringing again, and I picked it up in annoyance. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding the phone to my ear, I answered."Hello?""Finally, you picked up. London, sweetie, tell me where you are, and I'll come get you. Vince and Bryce were over, asking if you came around, but I told them you didn't. They said you just drove off and haven't been answering the phone. They looked really worried about you as they told me everything that had happened, and so am I. I know you're hurting, baby. Just tell me where you are, and everything will be okay." My mom sounded beyond concerned and worried as she spoke to me."I'm okay, mom; I just need some time alone." I slurred with a hiccup."London, are you drunk? You sound like you're driving? London, where are you?" She asked."I'm fine, mom. Don't worry about me. Tell Vince and Bryce to go home." I sniffled."You don't sound okay. London, where are you ri—" I disconnected the call and put my phone down, focusing on the road. I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially my mother. I was too hurt and embarrassed.My phone began ringing again, and after letting out a growl, I bent to pick it up."London, please, where are you?"I was so caught up in balancing the phone in my hand as it nearly fell out of my hand while driving that I didn't notice the loud horn blaring. I looked up only to be met with bright lights, which had me looking away and wincing at their intensity. I tried to catch the steering wheel, but by the time I could see clearly enough, a large truck was coming at me at full speed."Hello, London… are you… What's going on?" "Shit! Fucking hell." I tried maneuvering by twisting my steering wheel, but I couldn't do it on time to avoid a collision that sent my head flying back at the headrest, bouncing back to hit the glass with great force as I veered off the highway and plunged headfirst into the rocky darkness.My body shook as my car hit rocks during its fall before finally smashing into the ground with unimaginable force.I could hear the slight ticking of the arrow symbols as a deafening silence enveloped me. My ears were ringing, and my breaths echoed. I could hear a high-pitched scream through the phone that was still in my hand, along with my mother's frantic voice."London, what's happening? Are you okay? What was that? Vince, you guys need to find my little boy for me." I heard my mother scream.I groaned into the phone, feeling my body tremble at the jolts of pain I got zapped with. Everywhere was aching, and moving hurt like crazy. My trembling hands brought the phone to my ears as I tried to adjust myself, but moving was impossible. I was trapped in my squashed car."Mum…" My breaths were shaky, and I feared I wasn't going to make it out of this alive. If that were the case, I could at least tell her goodbye."I love… you, and I wish in your next life you get a son who is much better than me." And In that instant, a low bang erupted, engulfing me with hot flames. That was all it took before I was plunged into the great darkness that claimed me.I was swimming through the darkness, feeling my consciousness float with my eyes closed. I could hear nothing but voices in my head. So this is what death feels like?I let my lips curve into a smile as I welcomed the feeling of emptiness. That was until a bright light shone, and soon enough, I was standing in an empty, bright room in front of a door."Do you want to live?" A quiet voice came from inside my ears like a foreign whisper."A shitty life like that? No thank you." I said it quickly.I did not want to go back and continue my miserable life. Dying was a much better option than going back to face the pending embarrassment I left behind."Then how about a better one? You lived a good life as a Gamma and protected your people, and for that I will bless you with immense powers. People will bow at your feet. You will be the king of kings among many men. Everything about London Hale would be a thing of the past; you would be a whole new person. Do you agree, London Night?" The voice sounded very convincing. I wanted to feel what having power felt like."Is that my new name?" I asked."Yes, from today on, London Hale's is dead, but London Night has been reborn.""I agree.""Open the door." The voice demanded.I did as I was told, and a blinding light engulfed me. I felt like I was traveling at the speed of light, feeling my being get drained away, until I felt myself get sucked into something. *********I jolted awake, drenched in sweat, and gasped for breath. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to shake off the remnants of the terrifying nightmare that had gripped my subconscious.It appeared like I was having a weird dream. I couldn't recall most of it, but I felt like a newborn, and I had just been rid of everything and replaced. It was a weird feeling that I honestly couldn't describe.Slowly, I realized that I was safe in my own bed, and the grotesque images that haunted my dreams were nothing more than figments of my imagination.I sat up, my body still trembling from the intensity of the dream. I threw myself off the extremely comfortable bed, yawning heavily.I decided to get up and go to the bathroom to splash some water on my face.I reached the bathroom, flicked on the dim light, and leaned over the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were wide, and my face was pale, evidence of the terror I had just experienced.I started having such dreams five years ago, after I woke up. It was strange, but it felt like flashes that played themselves each night on repeat. I felt highly confused each time I woke up because that name, London Hale, remained in my head.London Hale? Who was that? I had no clue, but it bothered me how I could constantly remember a name that a voice always whispered in my dreams. I once asked my beta if he knew of such a person, but Reece said no. Apparently, no one knew him.I cupped my hands under the cool tap water and splashed it on my face. The sensation helped to ground me, bringing me back to the reality of my safe and familiar surroundings. Taking a few deep breaths, I tried to rationalize that it was just a dream and nothing more.Just as I started to feel a semblance of calm returning, a sudden knock at the bathroom door shattered my fragile peace, and I grunted in response. The door opened, and a maid stood by the door with the tall figure of Reece, my black-haired Beta, behind her."Good morning, Alpha." He bowed in respect, and I nodded in approval."The Alphas have come to seek an audience with you." There was a hint of mischief in his tone as he spoke."Has Cane let them know of my demands?" I asked with my back turned, staring out the window with a bored expression on my face."Indeed he has.""And how are they taking it?" I asked with a smirk."Not well. They're scared to give you total control of the Southwest, but they dare not speak out. They came to solicit your benevolence and plead your mercy." He explained, and I scoffed, finding their attempts ridiculous and futile."Have you spoken to them?""Not yet, my king. I was seeking your opinion before I went there."Very good.I hummed, least surprised they'd be unwilling to yield completely. That fueled my anger at their audacity to defy me."The lycans have vast control over business and a major relationship with humans. With a thin blanket over our true identities, they presume we are all humans." He continued."And?" I asked, knowing he had more to say."There have been sightings of wolves, which have become a fast-spreading rumor among humans, according to rumors. Wolf hunters have appeared and are hunting our kind, though it's all being done quietly to avoid alerting the unknowing humans of our presence. The hunters reside in the south, and the Alphas are seeking to strike a deal with the Lycan king without giving full control of the south-west like you have demanded." He finished, knowing how truly stupid they were.He knew my asking for full control of the south-west was me being... nice. Normally, I just take what I want without asking. I wasn't feared for no reason. While others might call me a tyrant, others refer to me as a demon. But I could care less about their damned opinion. I ruled with an iron fist and did only what benefitted me and my pack, and so far, so good; they all respected and feared me.I inhaled sharply: "I am London Knight, king of the underworld. I, the Lycan king, do not settle for less. If they're seeking my influence to protect them without meeting my demands, then they might as well leave and prepare themselves for my wrath before I come down there and kill them all gruesomely. Or rather, I do not need to come down." I paused, inhaling deeply."Reece, you know what to do." I wasn't one to speak too much. I dared not get enraged by their antics; they were not worth my anger."Yes, my Alpha." Reece's receding steps had me feeling content.I loved having power. It was beautiful watching people beneath my feet. I could afford whatever I wanted. I had the money and the influence. I was the feared Lycan king—the king of kings.All in all, I was London Knight, a man with power and extremely good looks, and no one dared defy me.Absolutely no one."Karla…" I called out to the maid, who was cleaning up. She was an omega who has worked for me to earn her stay in college for two years now."Yes, my king." She bowed in respect."Have Misha prepare my clothes before I head out of the shower." I ordered."Yes, my king." She scurried away.My orders were absolute, and at the mention of my name, bodies trembled. At twenty-three, I was feared by many. My title was inherited from my father, who was a great man.Upon his death, many feared I might not be able to handle being king after being diagnosed with a terrible disease all my life, but that all changed one morning five years ago. I had no idea how I had incurred such a miracle, but after several tests, the doctors said my tumor was gone and I was perfectly healthy.That was good enough for me because I suddenly had a renewed purpose to enjoy my status and destroy all who went against me. I wouldn't say I was ruthless, no... I was just an extremely strict man who was heavy on respect and reputation.Or maybe I was ruthless—who cared? I certainly did not. I disliked being associated with disgrace and failure, hence the status that I had now as a 'no-nonsense' king. Indeed, I was. My name alone was enough to instill fear and have bodies trembling.My Beta, Reece, and my Gamma, Cane, were my enforcers. Encountering them meant encountering a representation of me, and depending on the case of the meeting, it could be guaranteed that blood would be shed. They were revered and feared in my name, and it pleased me. At least, it saved me the trouble of many personal appearances.My presence was only reserved for extreme situations and extremely important occasions that were deemed worthy of me being there in person. That way, not everyone knew what I looked like.That was how I liked it. Surprise.I had a few I trusted and a definite grudge against females. I thoroughly disliked them for no good reason, but I always felt a voice in the depths of my soul telling me nothing good came out of them except disgrace, pain, and misery. That's why, all this year, I didn't bother myself with looking for my mate.I don't need one.My wolf, Fuyu, seemed to agree with me. Since I disliked those three words, I disassociated myself from them, keeping only one mistress, Freya, a Gamma-ranked female, to warm my bed on lonely nights. That much was enough for me.I chuckled to myself, taking a deep inhale. I loved my life.Blaire whiteI dashed down the flowery path, racing past the dancing trees. My heart was pounding heavily, and with a mix of determination and anxiety, I wouldn't be able to make it on time.Dear goddess. Help me this once.It was almost evening, and I couldn't afford to appear late for cleaning duties again this week like I did all through last week. Brena might have been lenient with me before, but that didn't mean I'd be interested in trying her patience.I knew how tough she could be when she's angry; trust me, you don't want to get on her bad side. It's ugly.The evening air carried a slight chill, but the adrenaline rushing through me kept me warm. I could feel my breath quickening, and I tried to steady it, reminding myself to stay focused. My mind raced through the tasks awaiting me at work and also the ones I hadn't done yesterday, mentally preparing for the responsibilities that lie ahead.I sighted the packhouse barely inches away and narrowed down the pathway, turning to m
Blaire whiteI had no idea how long I had been sitting in the forest quietly, letting the tears roll down my cheeks. I sniffled, finally aware of how dark it was.I had thought Sinclair would come back and meet me after his meeting with the beta, but I guess the meeting was longer than we both anticipated.I needed to go home and probably find Brena and explain things to her. She oversaw the cleaners and reported any misbehavior to the Alpha, as she had been patient the whole time. I couldn't afford to get punished for slacking off on my duties.I began my lonely journey back, making up my mind to head over to Sinclair's after meeting with Brena instead of going home.The thought of going home sounded pointless, and I needed company tonight. What's the point of going home when the person who made it home is gone and now between the stars?I weakly smiled to myself at the thought of having Sinclair bathe and massage my aching bones tonight. He had the power to drive away my pain and wa
Blaire whiteHe led me into a dark room, and I was too drunk to bother using my wolf's eye. I was too engrossed in not feeling anything and killing off the pain. I heard a click resound in the room, and I knew there was no going back.My movements swayed as I tried to walk, but I was halted by shivers traveling down my spine at an unexpected touch. His hands claimed my waist, the tip of his nose trailing up and down my neck. Hot breaths fanned my neck, igniting goosebumps on my skin. I gasped, feeling shivers engulf my being.Hands strolled up my body, erupting heat from my anticipating body. His hands groped my breasts, squeezing them with hunger and need as his husky voice came."What's your name?"In my haze of lust and passion, I replied, "Blaire."He chuckled against my skin, earning a gasp from me. "Full name, love?""Blaire White." I whispered, eager for more.He hummed against my skin, a sound that made liquid pool impossibly more on my panties."What about yours?" I couldn't
Blaire whiteI pressed my back harder on the bed as London squeezed my ass; his stormy eyes looked like he wanted to eat me."You like having my mouth lapping onyour juices?""Yes!""You want me sucking you dry?Bringing you ecstasy?""Yes! Yes!"I'm pretty sure you want to cum badly". He rumbled."Yes, oh yes, please!" I keened."Then I might let you". I automatically nod my head in gratitude for not being able to withstand the pressure. I no longer cared. I just wanted him badly."Oh god, yes, please, London," I cried, screaming."That's right, keep on begging with that sweet mouth of yours". He snarled, looking up at me. His eyes flashed a burning green before he rasped."I'm going to fucking devour you." Then his mouth was on me. His tongue slipped inside my tight sheath, still twitching in fervent need of a climax, and my eyes rolled into the back of my head as I thought I had died.London clamped his mouth hard over my clit, sucking, licking, and pulling it with his lips. His t
Blaire white"London." I sobbed, pushing him more into me, silently begging, and his big hand slid slowly up my thigh."Do you want me to fuck you?"Oh, dear moon goddess, I did want him to fuck me."YES!""How hard?" He groaned, his thumb rubbing delicious circles on my sex. I rocked my hips forward unconsciously, seeking more."Answer me!" He roared."How hard do you want my dick to fuck your tight little pussy?""Very hard. Oh god, London, please." I begged, throwing my head back. My hand flew out, clutching at his hand, and I pulled it to my heavy breasts, wanting desperately for it to be assaulted."Fuck me, please," I pleaded."Im going to fucking ruin you for good."Yes do! Like my life isn't already ruined.Without a second thought, London pounced on me, taking my lips and squeezing my breast painfully hard. It felt blissful as he ravished my lips like a starving animal while I moaned uncontrollably.London chewed down my flesh to my right boob, biting roughly on the mound. He
LondonI stared at her with cold eyes, filled with disdain and disgust. She was my mate, but I wanted nothing to do with her.Truthfully, I actually thought I was lucky to not have been given a mate or found her all these years, but now I guess my luck ran out.I watched her writhe on the floor as my rejection took its toll on her. My eyes remained squinting at her, outraged by her audacity to defy me.I could feel the anger building up inside me as she remained unmoving, disobeying me without a second thought.My unfazed expression held cold eyes that guaranteed misfortune and chaos for the woman who stayed on the floor, wheezing.I took pleasure in watching her hurt and suffer; it was her own fault for being unfortunate to be paired with someone like me who never wanted a mate. She was weak and unworthy, below my standards. I reveled in her tears, knowing she would never be good enough for someone like me. She was nothing but a burden, and I couldn't wait to be rid of her.I scoffed
London I stepped into the dark space that I called my office and let out a low growl. The guards were fucking responsible for that wretched woman being on my territory. If they had just taken their jobs seriously!I was going to cut down on their upkeep money for this and teach them a lesson so that next time, they wouldn't dare make a room for an enemy to pass through.My steps thudded on the wooden floor as I made my way to my desk. I loved the dark themed office, and what made it better was the fact that I never opened the curtains. A dim red bulb illuminated the room with a dull glow, which was exactly how my heart looked.The dark brown mahogany table reflected the light on its polished surface. Files were neatly arranged on the left side of the table; my laptop stayed shut and was placed in the middle; a pendulum clock stood beside it. A large dark chocolate book shelf stood by the rear left of the room, and a black chair lay beside a glass table that had a notepad and pen lyin
Blaire White I passed out shortly after he left me to crumble in my pain and tears. Never in my eighteen years of existence have I met someone so monstrous in nature as to have the face of an Angel.I feel so sad and hurt right now. I was angry at myself and, most especially, at the moon goddess, who has been cruel to me these past few days.First I lost my mother, then my boyfriend and friends, and now this. I never expected to be mated to someone like him who would treat me so unfairly, like dirt in his shoes.I was finding it really difficult to cope with these emotions. The mental, physical, and emotional drain had worn me down. I hadn't expected to find my mate right away after losing the one who I had thought was strongly supposed to be the mate blessed to me by the moon goddess after all the signs.I had honestly believed that Sinclair was my mate. Everything about his attitude towards me and his body language was convincing. But thinking about my situation right now, I'd give
