A table was the only thing separating us. I sat in front of Alpha not uttering a word, it felt like hours had passed. I inhaled a deep breath. "You went alone to talk to him?""Is that what you got from this entire story?" I shook my head at him. "Yes, you went to talk to him alone," his voice was calm like he was talking to a child. "It is not important, we need to focus on the major issue, this pack might be in danger.""Or, hear me out," he put his index finger in front of him, "he might be fooling you.""Why would he be fooling me? What would he possibly get from it?" I was trying to keep the annoyance out of my tone, "spending his life in this prison, where he can not leave or do anything when he wants to."He let out a humorless laugh in response, "Look around, princess, this is one of the strongest packs and anyone would be lucky to be part of it. He'll get everything here, all the things a rogue could dream of."I stared at him in disbelief, his voice was filled with arrog
"You still do not believe me?""You can sleep here and I'll ask someone to guard the room," Alpha Orion started shuffling things on the table that had like three folders, "I have to go somewhere right now.""You did not answer my question."I was standing in the middle of his room with my arms crossed in front of my chest. He was not even looking at me. There was no answer from his side, he opened a red colored file, flipped a few pages, and put it back on the table. Then he picked the green one and did the same thing again. I inhaled a deep breath and grabbed the file from his hand."Can we please talk?" I kept my voice gentle and calm. I had to keep in mind he was the Alpha.A few months ago I could not even imagine being in the same room with someone as him for more than two minutes alone but now I was doing something that could have gotten someone like me killed instantly.He finally looked at me, I was expecting him to be fuming with anger instead he raised his brow with a smal
"How do you know it was not some wolf?"The room's temperature was low at night but from all the questions and the fear of Alpha Orion not believing Arwin was making me sweat. I wiped my forehead with my sleeves. "I have spent my entire life running away from that night," Arwin inhaled a deep breath, "but it was always catching up with me. That night left a mark on my soul, I can feel the same darkness in this pack that I felt on the night of the red moon."I looked between Alpha and Arwin. It was difficult to tell what Alpha was thinking. His hand was folded into a fist which was in front of his mouth, he was tapping the table in a rhythmic motion while Arwin sat in front of him barely looking at his side."Then tell me 'Arwin' what else did you find about the moon ?"Arwin was looking at his hands, unlike the last time he was here with me when he kept looking at the things in the room. "No one knows anything about the red moon entirely, it is a mystery that died with the people o
"What else are you hiding from me?""What are you talking about?" I asked even though I understood his question. "Don't pretend to be a fool, princess, we both know you're smarter than that," there was annoyance in his voice. I remained calm.It was igniting his anger.He slammed the wall behind me with anger, his arms were keeping me trapped in front of him. His eyes were no longer the same, his wolf was taking control. I was supposed to be on my guard but instead, I did something stupid, I raised my hand and started running my fingers on his face. I traced the scar lightly. Alpha Orion looked confused momentarily but then closed his eyes before opening them again. Both my hands were now on his cheeks. A low growl erupted from his throat, making me realize what I was doing. I quickly let go and looked away. My entire face was getting warm, at that moment I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me entirely. He was still staring at me. Suddenly he took a step back and was abou
4 days was a long time. So much could happen. Alpha Orion and I were getting closer, we started spending more time together. We were having dinner together, just the two of us. Nothing much had changed but still, something felt different and I was not complaining. We had a new routine for the night, we would share the details of our day while I rested in his arms until the sleep embraced me in a warm hug. "From your snoring, I guess there was no nightmare."I gasped, "I do not snore."He looked at me from the mirror, "Tell that to my poor ears."I threw a pillow in his direction which he caught while chucking and put it back neatly on the bed. The laughter was gone and his face was now serious, "You know the plans for today, right."I nodded my head.We planned to meet Arwin after lunch. Alpha Orion was going to take both of us to the place where blood was found. It could either trigger a memory from my dreams or make Arwin remember something. There was another weird thing, for
"Thank you, for doing this.""It's always a pleasure to help you Luna, you and Alpha Orion saved my life, this is the least I can do to repay you."We stood outside the car waiting for Alpha Orion to join us. "You should just call me Ruhee, I am not Luna," I looked at the sky, the dark clouds had started forming. "But you are the Luna," Arwin argued.I decided not to respond knowing well it would be of no use."Where is he?" I looked around hoping to see him coming our way from somewhere.Kai was standing just a few steps away from us with a phone in his hand. To someone else, it might appear he was entirely focused on the world of the internet with no idea of his surroundings but it was wrong, he was more than aware of everything going around us. The way his ears kept moving with every little sound and the way he was scanning the area told everything about his werewolf senses, even though I had seen them already. I stared at Kai but stopped from going towards him, I wanted to kno
**Everything was dark.Pitch-black darkness surrounded me, it was hard to breathe. I moved my arms around, there was little to no space. I frantically started kicking and punching the walls that were keeping me locked in that place.Finally, a miracle happened and I managed to push the door.I moved outside and filled my lungs with as much air as possible. I was gasping like a fish out of the water.Once I was calm I realized I was no longer in the house that was burning....the fire....the girl....it all started coming back to me.Was I dead?I was standing on the barren land, it was the same place that I had seen multiple times in my dreams but there were no dead bodies this time and it was not night.The lack of vegetation in this place was scary. And the crazy part was something else, life was missing from this place only. I could see green mountains in the distance.How was it possible? I was in my nightmare again. This time I was not scared. I wanted to find some answers.I s
The sun had started to fall, painting the room in a deep shade of orangish-red....the color was bringing back the memories of fire and what happened in that house.Alpha Orion told me all about how they found us trapped inside the room....the girl did not speak so no one had any idea about how we did not get burned with that building.I decided to tell Alpha all about my dream before I forgot about it. But it did not feel like one of my nightmares, the woman in my dream was different. I knew I could trust her...it was foolish to say this but it was true, there was something about that voice...something warm. Alpha was not sure about the place and I did not mention the river or I knew anything about the place. Before we could talk more about it people started coming to the room to check up on me. First, it was Bernadette who pulled me in a bone-crushing hug then Kai who just asked how I was feeling and left with a nod. At last, Chelsea came with a bowl of fruits which was not liked
