LOGIN“Astrid Wildcrest, the Demon Alpha… Is she your mate, Maylea?”The old woman ignored me and directed her question at Maylea.“Answer my questions, you old hag! Or I will take your head.”I snapped.“We were mates, but we rejected each other,” Maylea addedat the same time.I snapped my head back to stare at Maylea.“Watch your tone with me, girl!”The old woman yelled.I growled as I looked back at the old woman and watched her raise her hand.The old woman muttered something under her breath, and her eyes glowed white.A werewolf seer!Energy flowed from her hands, and images started to flash before my eyes.“I may see the future, but I can show you the past!”The old woman shouted.Maylea groaned next to me, and I used all my strength to get to her side. Her silver eyes were shining, and she collapsed into my arms.
I frowned and walked into the dining hall. Jarrod and my closest werewolves were all sitting around a table discussing plans to track down the Drakensberg werewolf.“Let me remind you all that this werewolf can turn invisible! If she gets away, there’s no way we can track her down again. Even her scent becomes invisible, so we only have one shot at this.”Jarrod remarked.“Beta, can I suggest hiring a human hunter to tranquilise her with wolfsbane? Just enough to make her conscious.”One of the other werewolves suggested.“HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SUCH A THING?!”I thundered.“That is not an option, not ever.”Jarrod replied at the same time.“Sorry, Alpha. I did not notice you were here.”The werewolf gulped.“Using wolfsbane against another werewolf is… unspeakable! I wouldn’t even wish that upon my worst enemy.”I added.
Never had I known of someone to possess such power and enter my mind. Only pack members were connected and could talk telepathically. Yet, I could just sense her energy was greater than anything I had come across before.Who are you?Why? Why couldn’t you accept me?“Maylea?”I could have been free! I could have unlocked my werewolf side.She growled and leapt forward. The wolf pushed me to the ground and towered over me.I, Maylea Dart, accept your rejection.Her voice was angry and fierce. I didn’t even have time to respond before she sprinted off into the dark.In an instant, I was back in the dining hall with my head to the side. I shoved the cloth off my forehead and sat up. Something didn’t feel right.“The white wolf… Maylea? We need to follow after her!”“My lady, there hasn’t been a white wolf in centuries. Wh
Astrid’s POVBy the time I walked into the dining hall, my pack had already put the food on display and started the music. They laughed and messed around while waiting for me to join them so we could all eat.Everything is working out perfectly.I sat down at my table and nodded, signalling that the pack could start eating. Jarrod walked over to my table and looked around the room. A frown fell onto his face.“My lady, should I go fetch Maylea?”“No need, Jarrod. She is exactly where I want her to be.”“Could I ask where that is?”I laughed and shoved a chair closer to him, which he sat down on.“On a date with Callum.”“This is a good thing?”His eyebrow raised as he asked the question.“Of course! I get to complete the rejection process once she falls for him, and I get to keep her around. It’s a double
“Why does such a fantastic person like yourself follow under the rule of a merciless Demon Alpha?”I ate a potato chip that I had dipped in sweet chilli sauce. Callum sighed, then also ate a chip.“I guess the Demon Alpha has protected us. Through all these years, we have been safe and happy. I also turn a blind eye to her ways because of loyalty. She’s my family and my Alpha; my werewolf side forces me to obey her. I also guess because of fear.”“It’s okay. We all get a little bit scared sometimes.”“The Demon Alpha doesn’t scare you, but what does?”I decided to give him a lighthearted answer first.“You know, girly things like moths.”I laughed, then became serious.“I’m afraid of rejection. I’m scared of being shamed, judged, left alone, or excluded. So I often find myself trying to please everyone and blending into the people ar
I looked over at Astrid, who was glaring at me, and rolled my eyes. The electricity was still there, which annoyed me, but I actually wanted to break the bond between us. She was still rejecting me, and I wanted to accept her rejection so that I could pave the way for a relationship with Callum. Maybe there was something there, but I wanted to get to know him first.“Maylea?”I darted out of the training room with all the other werewolves and walked away like I had never heard her. I needed to distance myself. I needed to stop wanting her.I quickly walked to my room while everyone headed towards the dining hall. Callum said he would fetch me in an hour or so, which meant I had some time to get ready. I was both nervous and excited about my date. I had only been on a few before, but none of them was with someone who made me feel the way Callum did.He made me feel safe and like love was a possibility. I felt like he would never hurt me and would love me forever, without any expectatio
He stepped closer and stared into my eyes. The air between us seemed to crackle with electricity. Every nerve in my body came alive beneath his gaze, and my heart pounded so hard that I was certain he could hear it."Wait, Adam..." The words died on my lips as his scent surrounded me."Why do you k
Adam's friend stood up to shake my hand as we approached the table."Hello, ladies. I'm Roy. Nice to meet you.""I'm Nadia, and that's Abby." I smiled at him and shook his hand."Hey." Abby smiled too, her cheeks a bit more flush than usual."Now that we are all acquainted, what game would you like
I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his.Adam froze for a second before kissing me back as if he couldn't believe this was happening."You shouldn't have done that."He mumbled against my lips as his hands pulled me closer."I've always wanted you."Then common sense returned. I gently sho
"The whole idea behind BDSM is to allow you to be fully vulnerable with your partner. It sometimes is more of a turn-on than a physical, sexual act." Adam explained, his eyes roaming over me as he spoke."Oh.""Imagine your hands tied up above your head to restrict your movement... as I run a feath
