The she-wolf pulled away at the feeling, a look of confusion gracing her features.What the hell was that?For one, her action had been highly inappropriate for a lady of the ton. The werewolf society didn’t particularly care about harmless physical touches like that, but humans assessed everything critically.There was also the fact that she was supposed to hate this man with a passion— and she did, or at least she tried to convince herself that she still did. But when she had hugged him, offering him her silent sympathy, mostly for the young boy he had been, and what he had had to go through at such a young age, what she had felt had confused her greatly.It felt like nothing she had ever felt before, and she could have sworn on her life that it had happened only because she had touched him… hugged him.Did he feel it too?If he did, he made no indication of it, apparently too overwhelmed with grief.Even though Kendra sympathised with the general— understood him even, she felt like
No. This couldn’t be happening. Not when she was getting closer to Alaric Macintyre… not when she was just starting to regain his trust. What was she going to do? “Artemis?” Her heart skipped a beat at the mention of her fake alias from behind her tent. The General wanted to see her, but for the safety of her secret identity, she contemplated letting him in, trying to come up with or some excuse to keep him away even. She didn’t know any more if it was safe for him to see her, scared that he would find out who she really was. “Artemis, are you in there?” She heard him call out again. Taking a deep breath, she hollered, “Please come in, my lord,” The first thing General Alaric Macintyre realised when he stepped into the lass’s tent was how distressed she looked. He was by her side in a minute, his scary blues analyzing her as his mind struggled to guess what had unnerved her so. “What is it, Artemis,” He growled lowly. “Did anything happen during your sparring session with Pollio
Kendra woke up with a splitting headache, groaning softly at the uncomfortable pain. It was bad, but not as bad as yesterday’s had been. The last thing she remembered before the pain had become too unbearable was struggling to prevent her wolf from taking over. No wait. Her wolf had taken over. Kendra shot up with a start when that thought registered in her head, a weird feeling of trepidation completely taking over her as she touched herself all over to see if she was okay. She was. She tentatively felt for her wolf in her head, MM, SATED. The she-wolf sighed deeply in relief, but for some reason she thought of Killian giving her a very disapproving gaze. He had warned her about all of this after all— told her that her decision to continue with this quest was quite reckless and stupid, but had she listened? No. She found that she needed him around her to balance her impetuousness out. He was always there for her to prevent her from making reckless decisions after all… but this
Aiyisha stared at the bronze colored, handsome Alpha training with the other males in her pack, and a light blush covered her cheeks at the wild thoughts that had been flicking through her head. She had never been grateful for anything in her life, but she was one hundred percent grateful to the fates for bringing Killian into their lives. You see, for a long time, the she wolf’s life had settled into a routine. She spent her whole life training for a position that even she knew deep down that her father would never hand down to her simply because of her sex… she trained so hard, got so good at it that the male wolves in her pack were mostly no match for her, and all felt intimidated by her, they mostly avoided her like she was the plague. Thankfully, she got along just fine with the other she-wolves in her pack, but she couldn’t help but desire Aphrodite’s blessing... she just wanted that special connection with a male. And then fate rought this handsome hunk into her life. Now,
Nighttime came too quickly for the blonde haired she-wolf. She was nervous, and you’d be too if you had decided to move onto someone who was intimidating in every sense of the word. Aiyisha hadn’t seen him since noon when she had watched him practice, and that night, for the first time since Killian joined their pack, she didn’t have dinner with him. She needed to get ready— in every sense of the word if you know what I mean. And so she took extra care to make sure that she applied the foul smelling paste one of the she-wolves had recommended to her all over her body— apparently, it got rid of all unwanted hairs, leaving everywhere smooth and neat. She bathed in a mixture of sweet smelling oils to get the foul smell off her body. Everything was fresh and clean by the time she was done— her body clothed in a lovely white dress, so tight and skimpy that even she found it surprising that she was still able to breath, her face smoothed and paled by powder, her lips coated a deep shade
“Good morn, my lord,” Kendra greeted softly, trying her best to come off as ill after an entire day of avoiding the General. When she left the impromptu meeting from the day before— yes, the very one that had been called to address her actions when she had been in wolf form, she hadn’t gone out of her tent since, cooped up inside for fear of being sniffed out by the General and his impressive nose that for some weird reason could sense wolves and the supernatural. I mean, how did that even work anyway? She wanted to believe that perhaps he had been lying to her about it all— lying to maybe impress her? Because he hadn’t exactly sniffed her out yet despite all his claims. But that wasn’t a chance she was willing to take since she knew the consequences would be dire if his claims turned out to be true. And so she had been indoors, trying to come up with ways to get this silly quest already over and done with. It wasn’t until later on in the evening that she found out from one of t
General Alaric Macintyre had dreamt of this moment for days. He had pictured every possible scenario that could have ensued after his confession, but nothing had prepared him for the shocked way she had stared at him, nor how she had suddenly burst into hysterical laughter. He had not thought she’d stand up, still in shock, pacing to and fro like that, pulling at her beautiful curls as she muttered the word ‘no’ over and over again. And he had most certainly never thought, that instead of love... o-or at least joy, he'd instead see digust in her beautiful eyes. Was the thought of being with him that bad for her to imagine? “Artemis, what is going on? You’re freaking me out.” He said, standing up, Kendra’s heart was hurting… so bad. It never ended with her, did it? How poetically ironic. That the very thing she had been running from, the very thing that had practically let her selfishly leave her best friend to his doom had followed her here in another form? Was this the great d
Killian Silvercrest couldn’t sleep. He had been pretty knackered from a very stressful day. He had pushed himself and the pack’s male wolves to an incredible point, one that he hadn’t been at in a long time and the pressure felt good. So good. However, he had forgotten just how annoying the aftermath could be. The stress, that tension that came with it… the desire to go even farther. But there was also this unexplainable feeling in his chest that he could quite put a finger on, and he was pretty sure it was the main reason for his restlessness. Someway somehow, all he knew was that it had something to do with his mate, and at that point he wouldn’t have minded having someone to talk to about it like he had the night before, when he had conversed with Aiyisha deep into the night. He wanted to do it again, but he definitely didn’t want to give her the wrong ideas, especially when they both knew she had already tried to cross the line once. It was better that he kept some proper dist
