LOGINWolf Kingdom.An old cabin in Moon’s Wrath pack.Heaven slowly comes to, her head pounding and her mouth feeling like cotton. The scent around her has changed. Instead of the musky smell of stone and moist, there’s a far, refreshing air; of a lake, of trees, of dew. But an immediate, stronger smell of dust and wood lies above it. Then there’s the muffled echoes of chirping birds, the sound of rushing waters, and the dances of trees to wind. But these are all distant sounds.Her eyes blink open. Her view is blurry. But she knows she’s in a cabin. She can tell from the dusty wooden floors and the cobwebs knitting across the wooden walls. The floorboards creak beneath her as she rolls onto her back with sluggish movements, realizing she’s been on the floor all along. ‘Is this another nightmare, where she’s in her parent’s cabin, watching her father die?’ she thinks as she stares at the wooden ceiling that is weathered with age. Then the thought dies the moment she sniffs in another
It lasts for about forty seconds. And just as Heaven tries to fully climb Ziason, he gently catches her jaw and turns her face away from his.She knees on the bed instead. “I can’t control the way I feel about you. Even though you hurt me, it just makes me reach for you the more,” Heaven whispers, her hand still looped around the man’s shoulders.“It’s the mating bond, not you,” Ziason says shakily as he struggles to suppress the want growing within him. “You need to get used to the bond. Control it.”“What if I can’t?” Heaven whispers. “And how am I supposed to get used to the bond when every night you’re fucking boys and I feel every damn thing?”Ziason pauses for a while and just stares at her. Then he sighs, now untangling Heaven’s hands from his shoulders. “You need to control yourself, or else you’ll start channeling these feelings to my brothers as well. And they’ll be miserable.”Heaven pretends to have no clue of what he’s talking about. She may not be dwelling in it but she
“I told you not to provoke the Alpha,” Lakri was saying as she barged into Heaven’s room.She catches Heaven’s gory action and quickly drops to her knees, grabbing the pin from the girl.Lakri tears a strip from her own cloth, wraps it around Heaven’s palm, and presses down on it to hold back blood.“What the heck are you doing, girl? You didn’t want the Alpha to kill you, but couldn’t wait to do so yourself?” She bellows at Heaven, who rests her head against the wall, her eyes heavy as she stares at the floor.“That would mean I died helplessly,” she mumbles.Then Lakri scoffs. “This is more pitiful. I’ve never met a wolf who acts or thinks the way you do. Is it because you’re basically a human? Are humans always this annoying?”Heaven huffs. “If you think you hit a sore spot, you didn’t. And I’m not wolfless.” Her lips curl with disgust as she adds, “She just comes out at will. That brat.”Lakri frowns. “Now your wolf is your nemesis? At first, it was the Alpha. I saw you hugging hi
Freck sighs, peering at Ziason’s face. Deep frown lines crease across the man’s forehead, and his eyes has turned red. He’s furious.Seeing that, Freck retreats, settling behind Zeedar. “Ambassador Zeedar Father, are you accusing your Alpha of deceit…” Ziason relays harshly, pausing to let his previous words sink before he adds, “Or of treason?”“Neither, Alpha,” Zeedar replies without breaking eye contact with Ziason. “I am simply asking why you’re safeguarding the tower so tightly, even from us.”“It’s personal.”“The tower belongs to all three sons of our father, Alpha. It is not personal property,” Zeedar counters. “If trouble brews here, it will affect us all. And dirty secrets could ruin our chance to protect the pack from war.”“I have every resource necessary to protect my pack IN the war,” Ziason snaps, stressing the word ‘in’.Zeedar chose to ignore Ziason’s insistent on having his war. “What resource?” he asks instead, but the Alpha doesn’t answer.Turning away, the latter
Heaven turns her face away from the man. “Please stop,” she whispers. “There’s a child here.” The man glances at Kaicha, who is staring at the adults in a confused state.She doesn’t understand what’s going on. She has never seen anything like this before—two grown bodies tangled so close. What sort of game are they playing?“I can slash her eyes out if you want,” the man mumbles, his hand that once cupped her breast now gripping her jaw and forcing her face to his. “Are you scared of me?”Heaven whimpers. “I don’t know who you are. We shouldn’t be doing this.”“Do you think my wolf knows that?” the strange man says softly. “He wants you. I want you. That is all that matters.” He presses his mouth to hers. Heaven tries to resist him, but her strength is still dulled.Kaicha notices Heaven’s struggle. Caged by helplessness, tears pool in her eyes as she watches Heaven twist beneath the stranger’s grip. Soon, anger surges higher than helplessness, sharp and overwhelming. Alongside it,
With Zechariah away dealing with some shenanigans elsewhere, Zeedar follows Heaven’s wolf-scent to Kaicha’s window. Her heat still clings to the air. It has dulled slightly, but it lingers enough to keep his wolf restless, ruffled inside him, threatening to surface if he loosens his grip even a little.Perched on the roof of one of the pack houses, Zeedar keeps his gaze fixed on Kaicha’s window, waiting to see whether Heaven will appear again. She doesn’t.An hour ago was when Zechariah stopped him from stomping down the door of Heaven’s room. Now, an hour later, Zeedar watches the same motherfucker scaling the tower walls, heading straight for the very window has been staring at.Zeedar lets him. If his brother’s instinctive nature can uncover the truth Zeedar has been craving, then so be it.However, minutes later, an explosion booms through the air. A violent spark that is as sharp as lightning bursts from the window, followed by a forceful wind that rattles the roofs of the pack
