Carena: "The most crucial part of your training will be testing if your wolf is afraid to emerge, if she has been suppressed," he said, circling around me as he began the training. I felt much comfortable with him teaching me. He also seemed experienced. everything he said seemed like he knew what he was talking about. His confidence in his way of training gave me confidence. "The initial phase will determine if your body is in a healthy state to transition once your wolf awakens," he cleared his throat, standing behind me. The weather was delightful, with a gentle breeze swirling around the bushes and us. The lush green grass and trees appeared like a view from a fairytale.The air was crisp and clear. If I didn't have this training to focus on, I would have suggested we sit and savor the view.A smile tugged at my lips, but before I could fully indulge in the moment, Sawyer lightly tapped the back of my head and remarked, "Focus, Carena!""I was focusing," I protested, rubbing my
Carena:After finding out about the mate thing, we didn’t stay long at the mountains. It was getting cold as well and I was amazed at the fact that the mysterious alpha king I married was my second chance mate. I was beyond happy as well. It was like the Moon Goddess had finally blessed me.He held my hand firmly throughout the car ride, a comforting gesture that stirred within me a strange sensation of fulfillment, as if I had finally found everything I had yearned for since feeling the mate bond with him. Even though my wolf hadn't fully awakened, the lingering echo of her stirring still pulsed through my body, leaving me with a dull ache. I wondered if perhaps that's why he was holding my hand.I shook my head in an attempt to dispel these thoughts, but he noticed."I hope it wasn't thoughts of me that you shook off," he quipped with a hint of seriousness, causing me to grip my braid tightly before readjusting it and tossing it off my shoulder."Am I your fated mate?" The question
Alpha King Jack:"Don't even try to speak to me right now," Tabitha yelled the moment she spotted me. I trailed behind her as she huffed and marched away, picking up speed."Just hear me out, once," I pleaded, feeling a twinge of embarrassment as the other pack members exchanged glances, witnessing an alpha king trailing behind his Luna queen as if he held no regard."I told you to leave me alone," she screamed, not realizing she was bruising my ego."Tabi!" Finally, as we neared the hallway, I grabbed her arm and turned her to face me."I did it because we had no choice," I mumbled, awkwardly meeting her gaze. It wasn't that I didn't feel remorse; I was as annoyed as she was. The fact that Carena demanded an apology from her implied disrespect towards Tabitha, and that infuriated me equally.However, our situation was delicate. The monsters from the mountains had breached our borders, lurking around frequently. I needed Sawyer Wolf's support to secure my pack."You told the Comet pac
Carena: "Style her hair the way she prefers," Sawyer called out from behind as he observed the hairstylist disregarding my request to leave my hair down for the fifth time. She made me feel like I was clueless and didn't know what I wanted.Sawyer was dressed in an all-black tux, seated on the couch behind us, watching me get ready."Sorry, I thought her hair would look good up," the woman still held my hair up and smiled at Sawyer through the reflection."She'll look good in anything, but let her decide," he reiterated without returning a smile. Her expression faded before she forced a smile and nodded her head to the alpha king. Now that he had instructed her to listen to me, she began leaving my hair open after just curling the ends slightly.Sawyer asked me which dress I wanted, and I chose a black one to match with him. He complimented my choice.I noticed there wasn't a single moment when he made me feel insecure about anything I did."She's all ready," even the hairstylist smi
Tabitha: I calmed my racing breaths down and even when I tried to put on a smile, my lips moved strangely. I didn't want it to be true. I even convinced myself for a moment there, but then he repeated himself as if it were the happiest news ever."I am her second chance mate. Isn't it lovely I married her and now I got blessed with this news?" Sawyer beamed, holding her hand and placing it in his lap. I knew it wasn't my problem anymore; she could marry literally whoever she wants. But then, why couldn't I hold myself together and be okay with the news?My heart was thumping loudly. Jack held my hand, sensing my anxiety, but I freed my hand from his. It was all his fault. How on earth did he let her go like that? He should have kept her in his pack house like an omega and gotten her married to some old omega. But no! Jack was so dumb; he didn't understand what a cunning slut my sister could be.I so wanted to ruin their fun and let everyone know Carena can't even conceive, but I zipp
Carena:It was a pleasant night. Everyone greeted me with respect, and even those who used to once roll their eyes at me were now bowing and speaking respectfully. But as time passed, I began to feel a distance from Sawyer. He couldn't hold my hand forever, I realized. Now, as he busily discussed pack matters with the elders and Jack, I felt lonely."How about we go sit in the living room and enjoy some evening tea?" Lady Paula suggested, prompting Lady Jane and Tabitha to nod in agreement."Come, Carena! The alpha kings are busy; we should let them work in peace," Lady Jane gestured for me to follow them, her tone softer now.My body felt a bit shaky; I hadn't been away from Sawyer in the last few weeks. He had also made sure that everyone respected me. I thought I had gained courage, but soon he was out of my sight, and I realized the courage actually came from having Sawyer by my side.But I had to follow them inside; I didn't want to be seen as someone who was always clinging to S
Carena: I couldn't sit there and watch them glaring at me. With Tabitha smirking and sipping tea with the loudest noises ever, I felt like drowning in that cup of tea. I got up and shed my clothes, trying to hold back the tears from falling down my eyes."Excuse me," I knew I could escape for now, but Lord Rennick would not let me sit in his mansion in peace after finding out I couldn't even give him an heir. I rushed out of the living room and ran to my bedroom, dodging every guest in my way. I couldn't even glance through the crowd to find my young step-siblings. And they didn't bother to find me either."Hey!" It was Janine who had followed me to the bedroom. "What happened? You're not at the party?" She walked in with a pout on her lips."I can't be a part of these parties. I'm not one of them," my voice was heavy, and tears were struggling to stay in my eyes."That's bullshit. Your alpha king has given you that respect. Who the hell are these people to steal your happiness and s
Carena:"What are you up to?" the man persisted, causing her embarrassment in front of everyone."I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry. I'll sort this out," she awkwardly gestured for him to lower his voice as all eyes were on them, but the man remained indifferent.He was so loud and rude, reminding me of how Jack used to behave.I've been in that situation many times, and I can attest that when all eyes are on us, we feel disgusted with ourselves, because of how we're being treated."Don't mind him. That's my royal Gamma, Mark Neob. He took over some time ago and is now dating Ashley," Jack quickly introduced them, seeming embarrassed by how his royal gamma had drawn attention to himself."Shouldn't your Gamma know he's not supposed to behave this way at a grand dinner?" Sawyer didn't take his eyes off Mark the whole time.But he also didn't react to Ashley dating him."Don't worry, I'll talk to him," Jack assured, signaling to Mark from afar to calm down, and only then did he lower
