DECLANSometimes, the good comes in the packages of the bad.It had to be acted according to how I had scripted it.I knew I had to make it look all real.That was my only chance.They had gotten close, closer than a hair's breadth, the guards. Those two, they were one of the best swordsmen the alpha had hired. Though humans, they possessed skills that were beyond the realities of mere mortals. They could sniff a wolf even in the dark. So, when I walked in and saw the black eyed guy sniffing around the wardrobe, I knew he had smelled her scent."Searching for a maid who had run away from Deforest in the kitchen! Really!? Is this the kind of intelligence the alpha hired you for? I should be worried! Get the f*ck off my face, motherfuckers!""Search everywhere; make sure she has no place to hide, for she will pay with her life for daring to make a public show of my brother; for daring to ruin our party. Get the f*ck out of my face!"I had to give it the perfect demeano
TORRODamn it!I hate him!If only I could sniff the f*cking life out of him!He's not one of us, yet he bites more than a wolf.Anytime I see them together, I am reminded that he is to her what I'm not; what she has not given me a chance to be, even though our fate was chosen for us by the wise moon goddess.I am Torro Andrews, and I am Kianna's mate. I am not just any wolf, for I smell danger even before it is hatched. With my skill, I have helped save the pack from rival packs. Kianna, Ferran, Gerard, Yemi, and the rest of the pack owe me their lives.I am that good…But I have failed!And I hate to admit it!Everyone seemed to get along with him, except, of course, Torro. Something just seemed off about him from the first day I saw him. Worst off, Kianna, my Kianna, had introduced him to us as 'my childhood sweetheart,' even holding hands with him in a manner that made me choke inside. I felt nothing but jealousy and hatred towards him.The motherfucker didn't even seem to notice
DEFORESTTime will always reveal.She had walked out on me!It couldn't have been more embarrassing!Mate, where did that come from!I watched her run away from my presence, ignoring whatever consequences she was going to face.It seemed all eyes were on me. Definitely, they knew what stuff I was made of; they knew I couldn't stand the shame. They knew she would live to wish she was dead for daring to embarrass me.They know me!I am the heir to the Lord Dragon!And I was not going to disappoint!I was going to put up a show for it!Angrily, I summoned the swordsmen."I don't f*cking care how you do it, bring her to me now," I had barked out the command.I was the talk of the pack, and rightly so. What lady wouldn't want to have a piece of me!She had rejected me at my own party!How could she even think of it!?My own party!The sound was deafening. Music everywhere; people drinking and having their glasses refilled."More whisky, please" filtered the air.I don't
"Nothing, she has done nothing" I said to him."Yet you search for her. When I saw you summon the guards, I knew immediately it was about her. Tell me, brother, since when did you become worried about her if she has done nothing?," he asked, mimicking me."Okay, fine!""Better. I knew it was not for nothing. So, what has she done this time?." He sounded so authoritative. What damn guts!"She insulted me before the guests!""You mean to say she rejected you before the hitters?," he asked, sounding very sarcastic.If only I had not gone to him. He just made me look like a fool."I don't care what you call it, or how you see it. I just wanna know if you have seen her sniffing around. I swear, I will…""Here comes your swordsmen," he cut me short.The idiots have resurfaced from wherever without her. I didn't know if to feel relieved or angry. Whatever, Declan mustn't find out I had suddenly developed a soft spot for the very lady we both enjoyed seeing crawl and beg us for mercy.The ne
JASON"Yes, I'm madly in love with you."Boy, that was swift!Where did that come from!I was sitting quietly alone in my room, anxiously waiting for a response from her. I had lost count on the number of times I had looked at the text message. A mix of excitement and nervousness filled my heart each time I bowed my head to look at it. Even though that was not how I wanted it, I could not help but feel proud of myself for finally taking the step to express my feelings to her.'That's what real men do,' my father had told me the previous day.As I read it over and over again, a small smile crept onto my face, and I began to imagine all the possibilities of what our future could hold if she gave me the golden yes!If she agrees to be my girlfriend, I would spend the rest of my life, whatever is left of it, making her happy."I love adventures; I love to explore places, to travel to space and be where only few humans have ever dared to be. I would also like to travel under
DEFOREST"Father!," I had yelled, standing in the way of the swordsman, blocking his whip from reaching her.I could not believe I had stood in the way of his command to the swordsman. I had acted swiftly, at the spur of the moment, without even thinking of what the consequences of challenging the alpha was.I could not afford to watch her die, even though I had no idea what she had done.The alpha looked at me with so much shock on his face. His eyes glowed with anger. Certainly, he had not seen that coming. He was not used to seeing me not be on the same page with him. This was one area he knew I was better than Declan. I could readily carry out his 'kill' order without bothering to ask him any question. "Deforest!," he called out, clinging to his fist with so much vigor. It's not a sight I wanna behold again."Father," I began, carefully keeping my distance, for I feared his reaction if I took another step closer to him. "What is her offense?"The identity of th
DECLAN"Deforest, kill the maid!"My heart sank when I heard that!Deforest was going to kill her. There was just no way he was going to disobey the alpha. He always carried out his command.I knew the charges against Sarah were not true, and he knew that. The alpha just wanted to quell any uprising that would ensue if the people found out that Kianna, an ordinary maid, had escaped from the clutches of his array of swordsmen. Cracks would begin to appear; the people would then question his ability to lead them as their alpha.If there was one thing he didn't want, it was not to lose his grip on the people. He would sacrifice anyone or anything just to continue to be feared by all and sundry.He needed a scapegoat!And Sarah it was!I needed to stop him, if no one was going to."Stop, wolf!," I growled at Deforest, running towards him. "Give me a minute, please," I whispered to him. Surprisingly, he had not growled back at me. Quickly, I walked up to my father and sai
There was just no way Duncan could have known about the underground house. It was top secret. Someone must have tipped him about the place. He couldn't have found out by himself."What did you say, Duncan?," I asked, pretending not to have heard."Come on, Declan, cut the crap. You heard me the first time. I know you have her. I just wanted to inform you that someone is about to go down because of her. Do what you gotta do," he hung up.He had just made me look silly.The way I looked at her made her scared, really scared."Is that your brother?," she asked, anxiously waiting for an answer.Instead of responding to her, I sat down on the bed, trying to make sense of what Duncan had just said."Someone is about to go down because of her," he had said.He had not told me who that was. Surely, Deforest had found a scapegoat."I guess he knows where we are. I'm doomed. I couldn't have escaped from his clutches for long, after all.""Hey, I gave you my word, and I intend to keep it. Do you
