With an aggrieved keenness, his fist had collided with the wall mirror in the bathroom.
He snuffled, the glass shattered into tiny pieces just like his pulverized prestige, his obliterated reputation, everything was ravaged like this mirror.Jett heckled his dazzling white hair, ransacking it, racking it as it messily scattered, sticking in every direction. He placed his hands down on the sink and leaned his body down but his gaze landed on a broken piece of mirror on the floor, revealing his reflection.Unhurriedly he crouched and picked up the piece and his sanguine eyes stared back at him, formidable, malignant, filled with exasperation, indignation, choler, animosity, every negative emotion that he couldn’t hush up remained in his eyes, showcasing. Then his gaze went down his chest where a bloody line drew across his arm to his chest from the whip the commander used on him earlier. Jett gripped the broke piece of glass a bit tighte“Damn, your back is wholly destroyed!”Ace heard the other male standing above him clamor at the horrendous, bloody sight of his messed up back while he was lying on his paunch on the bed, eyes widely opened but staring into nonentity.“Seem like the Commander had no compassion, tsk” he shook his head pitifully while sitting on the side of the bed, his hand slowly went down to Ace’s back and trailed his finger against the lines caused by the whip, making Ace winced at the hellacious pain. “The commander is a very pernicious man. You and your little pack need to be vigilant of him and you should know, that no one receives special treatment. Children have their retribution for breaking laws and imagine what happens to adults. It’s a death wish”Ace had no idea why this wolf kept ranting, he had been doing nothing but remark on his back and he didn’t even know who he was, what was he doing in the commander’s room?
He wiped off the sweats tackling down his forehead with his forehand and continued wiping the sink clean with a rag. But abruptly, he wavered, his hands stopped working when he felt an obnoxious sentiment in the pit of his stomach.He blinked repeatedly, his hand going down to his stomach, clenching. Suddenly, he remembered it was that time of the month again. A whimper nearly decamped his lips but he clasped his mouth shut, guzzling back the sound."Alexis, where is my fucking food!" a fastidious voice came from outside."I'm coming!" he replied, deciding to ignore. Perhaps he would be able to hold it till he got his suppressants, which he didn't need anymore but his counterpart had refused to glimpse at him twice since he started working in this mansion, his plans of getting close to his mate flunked even before he could try, heckling him back in the face. Perhaps, his mate didn't find him desirable enough, after
Shoving the door open, Riyan ambled in with his mate coddled in his arms. He sauntered into his room and headed towards the queen-size bed in the middle of the room and gradually placed him down but Alexis was scrambling to get off the bed."What are you doing?"Alexis froze, he looked up at his mate and let out a nervous laugh before getting up on his feet. "I'm dirty, I don't want to stain the sheets. I will return to my room, thank you!" he bowed respectfully and tried to walk past his mate but Riyan grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, the force had him gasping as he fell on a sitting position on the bed."I don't know if you realize but you are going through your heat. Zac might not be an Alpha buts he's very much a man and a feral animal" Alexis blinked, sinking in Riyan's words. "I will be fine, I've been living my life, going through heats every month, it's no different this time" he stood up
Sluggisly, he got off the bed, his bare feet landing on the arctic floor that crept through his toes. He strolled towards the dresser at the corner and opened it, he beamed at the rich flowery scent that graced his nose.He puffed, taking more of that savory scent that drove his wolf voracious . He stretched his hand inside and took out a white sleeves shirt. He brought it close to his chest and breathe in more of that scent as he turned and ambled back to the bed.The sweltering, the surging fervidness in his body calmed, his Omega wolf purred, the cumbersome pain halted and he sighed in euphoria. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt this serenity, which was never. He placed the shirt on the bed and slowly discarded his clothes, letting them slide to the floor. He picked it up again and slipped those sleeves through his slim hands and slowly clogged the buttons one at a time. He smiled when he was done, brushing his ha
Jett tried to ignore the gaze that bore through his face as he stuck his mouth with food. He glanced around the dinner table, noticing how reserved and how everyone was minding their business. He didn’t fail to notice the empty seats beside the Alpha and the commander. Were they preserved for their mates? But Ace was sitting beside him and the commander didn’t make any attempt to heave the Gamma to his side then, who were those seats for?Deciding to mind his business, Jett went back to eating and the silent dinner continued till he heard the Alpha clear his throat, finally tearing his eyes away from Jett, for which he couldn’t be any more grateful.“How’s the festival coming up, Commander?” Alpha Xavier turned to his commander, wiping his lips with a napkin. “Are the men ready?” “Yes Alpha” the commander had replied.Alpha Xavier reeled his head to his mate, si
Two days passed, Jett had spent it caching in his room, refusing to let anyone in, curling on his mattress like a soul with no will to live, wallowing in morosity and tonight was the ludicrous festival that would determine his kismet in this macabre pack. He let out a sigh, turning his body as he faced the ceiling, suddenly finding it more riveting than his life at the moment.Suddenly, a knock came from the door, followed by a voice. “I’ve got your food!”He scowled and rolled his eyes. “Get lost!” he shouted.“But tonight is the festival, you haven’t eaten for two days. You need the energy” Marie continued to yell from the other side.He stayed tongue-tied, not bothering to respond and he heard a drubbed sigh before retreating steps. He rolled his eyes and then, shut them, wanting to take a quick nap but the sound of a key going through his keyhole brought him back to reality and his eyes snapped opened and
It was nearly midnight. The moon was like an alloy silver salver, hanging lonely up in the sky, it was at its fullest once again, glimmering free, witnessing the good and evil deems that went on under her.“Just be careful, alright?”Jett rolled his eyes at the words of his friends, gathering around him where he was finally called to the arena to face his doom or probably another humiliation.He sharply reeled his head to the right where they stood, their bodies flinching as his eyes flashed a darker shade of red. “Are you guys done?” his voice came out unkind which brought chills to their bodies as they could hear and feel his Alpha wolf begging to come out and crawl their faces.Riyan stepped forward, looking around for any watchful eyes. “I don’t know what kind of sick game they are trying to play tonight but Alpha Xavier wouldn’t be present”“Why?” Jett wondered out loud.
Riyan’s body stiffened, eyes cemented to the center of the arena like everyone else where Jett remained buried under the rubicund fur wolf. The arena fell silent for a moment, only the harsh growls of the wolf could be heard before a whimper of pain followed and a thud as the brown fur wolf fell beside the white hair Alpha, blood pooling around his limp body.Riyan sighed in relief when the panting chest of Jett came to view but the bloody sight of a fresh wound on his upper arm caught his attention.“He’s been Bitten,” Ace thought out loud, his green pupils glowing with worry while recalling the awful feeling he felt when he was bitten. A bite from these wolves was a death wish and he was a witness to that. His gaze averted to the side, where the three remaining opponents of Jett stood in their bulky form, eyes flaming, hands clenched to a fist. Three were gone, the remaining three seemed more wicked than the others with the way t
