Chapter 8
Something was stirring within me, struggling to get free; or at least trying to get something across. But the niggling feeling, that wasn't entirely bad, was overridden by my fear.
I stopped and waved the lantern in front of me wildly, saying, "Whoever the creep you are, show yourself!" I thought about my phone that was back in my large room, charging, and thought myself more the fool for leaving the pack-house without it.
I felt a presence approaching me.
Dark.
A presence so dark I felt my wolven instincts flare alive for the first time. /Mate/ my wolf said for the... First time. Amidst my fear for whoever or whatever was approaching, I felt a joy so profound fill me that I started to cry.
When I heard a twig snap, I became alert, putting my emotions in check. Whipping my head around, I saw nothing but the tall sh

After I'd finished showering, I emerged from the bathroom, a load of hot steam escaping into the room.I went in search of what to wear for breakfast, the young omega steadfastly at my heels. She began pelting me with rapid questions."How did you do that? I had no idea some werewolves had telekinetic abilities. Why had the Alpha been chasing after you? Are you a hybrid? Half fey? You know, I think you might be because you're really pretty. Do you kn..."My patience, all the while, had been stretching quite admirably to contain my annoyance. I tuned out her voice as I selected a pair of jeans and a beige blouse.When I proceeded to wear them, she suddenly fell silent. "You can't wear that, Miss.""Why?""For one, Greta would have my head. And two, everyone would be dressed to the nines. It's the Carnival of Lanterns!"My pati

Late evening soon rolled in and Nayla led me to the venue of the Lighting.I didn't know how to feel about seeing Vaughan again.Oh, I did. And not wanting to see him anymore than I did a syringe of wolfsbane translated to it.Colourful birds chirped above me, and the heady scent of flowers in the east gardens seeped into my nose.I noticed a portion of the garden were missing most of their flowers. Frowning, I asked, "Why are their flowers missing?"Nayla looked at the direction I was staring at. "Oh. That's because the Alpha always has flowers sent to newly weds, and their newborn pups."I digested that. My fingers trailing over a bed of white roses, I asked a question that'd been unknowingly festering in my subconscious. In spite of myself, soon after I asked it, I instantly became consumed by it, wanting to know..."Nayla, what is Vaughan like?"Under her breath she murmured, "I see you both are on first name basis, somethi

He drew level with me, then began that unnerving circling, his hands folded at his back."I spoke with your father this afternoon," he told me. I already did not like where this was going. "Told him I'd found my mate in his daughter," he continued. "He was amenable, ecstatic even, to the news. And there lies the problem."He came to a stop before me. I watched him, waiting."I am cursed," he stated the obvious, "and my reputation precedes me. Any father who truly loves his daughter wouldn't give her up to me."My heart clenched at the implication of his words; I lowered my gaze.My eyes widened when he touched my chin, lifting up my face. His whiskey grey eyes sucked me in, and his deceptively gentle voice lulled me into hypnosis. "You belong here with me. I could give you a home. Be mine a--"I tore my face away from his hold. "No," I said resolutely. "I can't be your mate." For so many reasons."Your disagreement on the matter would

I stared in horror as mortals rode tanks and other gigantic machineries through the now destroyed gate. Hunters in plain black uniforms wielded what looked to be advanced model guns. I spied one cocking his riffle, and soon a loud whirring sound filled the air; and then a broad bullet exploded out of its lengthy barrel, blowing up the entire left wing of a building.Screams and roars instantly broke out. Werewolves shifted into their beasts, slashing deadly claws through bodies of Hunters; heads rolled and flesh gave way to bone and still beating hearts.While father's men began fighting their way through the chaos, leading women and children to safety, Alpha Vaughan's men started to steer me into the pack-house and out through the back of it. I madly fought against them, struggling to get to a shocked Eunice who stood rock-still in the middle of the whole thing.A shadow passed above us. And slowly, I looked up in dread. That was when I saw them, and for the fi

Beautiful. Elegant. Splendid. Those words could hardly describe the room to full effect. Glittering down impossibly high ceilings were giant chandeliers casting light on wooden planes and gilded steelworks. The wide room splitted into many divisions--a bar being one of them! A red antique rug covered the wide floors, and on it, collections of upholstered furniture and glass figurines were dispersed liberally.The bed in this room was even bigger than the one in my last room, and that was saying something.The omega bowed and said, "I'll have some food brought up to you, Ma'am Hilda."Tearing my gaze away from a large plasma screen TV, I faced her. "The former omega that'd been assigned to me during the Festival, will she be replaced?"The lady nodded. "Yes, O--""No," I said cutting her off. "I want her--Nayla--as my personal omega." I couldn't loose two friends in one day.Her eyes widened a bit. "But, Miss, you'll need

"We're here." A nervous whisper.I couldn't hear anything from behind the doors, which made me assume they were soundproof.We stood on regal red carpets that had its sides lined with gold thread. A single chandelier hung down, lighting the narrow hall.Nayla bowed before me, and with a quiet 'Goodluck' she was gone.Facing the doors, I dragged in a deep breath. And knowing I may, or may not, regret my next action, I shoved open the door.Stunned gazes instantly reverted towards me. A wide hall filled with wide-eyed Nobles greeted me. They were all frozen in various acts of speaking and movement, one's mouth hung ajar, while another paused in gesturing at the large map on the table.Walking deeper into the white-themed hall, I said offhandedly, "Oh, don't stop on my account, continue with the meeting."At the head of the tabl

I didn't hear a sound, but yet I snapped into consciousness.I was not alone.Blinking past the last traces of sleep clouding my vision, I searched around the room, feeling the hairs on my nape rise. Turning right, I froze when I caught sight of whiskey grey eyes staring at me from the darkness.At length his silky voice commanded, "Come here."My ears twitched when I caught the note of barely leashed anger lacing his words.Gently pushing the duvet away from my body, I stood.Feeling his intense stare on me, I slowly went over to him, glaringly aware of the thin nightwear I had on. The attack on my old pack had made it impossible for me to retrieve my belongings; so I was stuck with the clothes they had here; and boy were

The wide outdoor patio was awash with clean breeze and vibrant greenery. The skies were clear, the weather mild. At a secluded corner, a pianist played the piano, producing soft, relaxing tunes.My court were all on their feet, waiting. As I strode down the concrete, some turned and looked at me expectantly, some puzzlingly, while others, with thinly concealed malice.Taking my seat at the head of the table, Nayla came to stand beside me. An action every Noble's personal omega immediately mirrored, taking their positions beside their mistresses; I couldn't help noting they were all older than Nayla."Good morning," I began, then waited for the file of omegas that had just entered to finish setting the table. A cup of steaming hot tea before me, I continued, introducing myself, "Hello, everyone, I'm Hilda Miller from the Stillmoon pack."A tall, blonde-haired Noble with a dainty air about her looked me up from over the rim of her cup, her eyes
