Part 38
My knees wobbled at the sight of Alpha Axel standing by the railing, basking in the moonlight. It made him look ethereal, sharp and glowing. I closed my eyes and bit on the lip, savouring the baritone I could not admit I had missed. Looking up, I met those lovely green eyes for a second before letting out a sigh.
“Please leave me alone, Alpha.”
The rough tenor was enough to raise the hair on the back of my neck; head bowed down. “I am afraid I am incapable of doing that.”
He cleared his throat, letting out a cough as if he realised how odd that sounded. “I meant it’s my place of solace too. As I said, the gardens are lovely.”
The smell of rich leather and his natural musk hit me as he cl

Exhaling through my nose, I stayed hidden against the pillar for a long time until Lauren found me. She informed me that my mother in law was trying to find me. That was my cue to stop sneaking and finally face the crowd gathered in the room.I ran a hand over my gown before putting on a smile, taking dainty strides in the direction of the Luna. Her face broke out in a wide grin upon seeing me, opening her arms.“There she is!” She cheerfully said, patting my side. “Lana, I want to introduce you to this pretty lady here.”“Oh! I am sorry I danced with….”“I saw that! You both make a great couple!”

Athea dropped me off after our shopping trip with a promise to see me as soon as I came back from the trip. As much as I wanted to invite my new friend in and continue our fascinating conversation, I had plans with Axel. We were supposed to visit the rogues staying outside the border in the afternoon.The guards standing by the doors rushed to unload all the shopping bags, keeping a neutral face. I was beyond excited as Athea made me visit all the trendy boutiques on the high street. As the sister of the beta, she was well known, and everyone greeted her with a polite smile.While I stepped into the living hall, my eyes fell on Angel. She was lavishly sitting on the couch, her legs crossed together and a china tea tray in front.

I held my ground, trying not to feel conscious about the Alpha being in the same room. Taking a few more breaths, I ran my fingers through damp hair, cringing as they plopped on my forehead. All effort that went into washing and styling it was down the drain. Only if Amy could see my current condition she’d start freaking out. Before anyone of us could break the suffocating silence that settled over us, an omega pushed at the door, her figure hunched and wearing that similar cloth over her head. She had a firm and severe look, bowing her head slightly, and it was painfully bizarre to be on the other end of this gesture, knowing it’s forced. “T-These are

I sat and tucked against the fragile mud wall, shivering as the cold ran down, even with my knees pressed against my chest. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Abel, shirtless, not even flinch as he cleaned our used glasses. My hands were shoved in between my thighs—in an attempt to warm them up.The wind was howling outside, occasionally making the front door of the hut creak and shake - which initially freaked me, but I was used to the eerie sound.We had no other choice but to stay indoors, wishing for the time to pass sooner. The older Alpha visited us again, suggesting to use the rolled-up mattress and alone blanket. I had the urge to scream and clarify that we were not a couple.Peeki

The sounds of my limbs stretching and bones crackling echoed around, my ears ringing. I rarely shifted, not by choice, but all the years of my childhood trauma forced me to keep my wolf hidden. Landing on four legs, I shook my head, leaping in the wolf's direction.As if the Alpha sensed my motive to fight, he dropped the pup, causing it to run and hide behind the trees. With a low growl, he raised his brow, challenge burning in those orbs; it made the ground underneath vibrate. The sound did not lock me into place like it would any other omega. I was not going to cower in fear like biology dictated.It didn’t do a thing other than resonate around and make the nearby creatures hide, alarmed. I paced myself, ignorin

My vision blurred, blackening out towards the corners as Axel carried me to the hut. Unable to bear the harsh light of the rays, I closed my eyes, relaxing in his arms."We are here." He murmured before placing me on the blanket."Give me a minute.""Not like I can move." I joked, but it fell flat as he rushed to the kitchen counter. With my knees folded, I watched him in acute interest as he effortlessly glided along; his back facing me.The Alpha crouched down in front of me, but I did not want to stare at him and make it obvious. Only some moments later, there was a glass underneath my nose, hints of sweetness and tangy. Blinking, I stared at the greenish liquid.

As the door shut behind me, I sagged against the nearest wall and watched Axel walk away. From the looks of it, it seemed like the Alpha was still trying to process every single thing the tribals complained about. He had no prior knowledge of the wrongdoings happening except for the killings. "Alpha...." "Give me a minute." He exhaled while dragging his feet to the other side of the room. I shrugged. Slumping down on the blankets, my knees were pulled to my chest again. There was a deep gash on the side of my leg; although the blood flow had stopped, it still stung to look at it. Why did that Alpha run away like that?
His Second Chance Luna Part 46
I never spent a lazy morning in bed for no particular reason, especially not in the last couple of years. If my memory served me right, I faintly remember having the flu as a pup and sleeping through mornings. At the moment, I don’t think I could ever muster up the strength to slip out from underneath the scented, warm sheets. My body was heavy yet weightless, and a pleasant ache stuck to my limbs.I didn’t have the strength to detach my legs from Axel, my pointy cold toes brushing along his bare ankles, or untangle an arm laying heavily on my waist. My eyes fluttered, realising we were tangled together again, my head resting on his chest, hearing the solid and steady heartbeat right against my ear.Each thud was like a nail in the coffin of my common sense.
