"Fine! I can take and live with YOUR credits! But I can't LIVE with YOUR MATE, right?"Owen's words rang in Lucas' ears. His eyes switched to a darker shade of red, glowing dangerously at the glass, he was tightly clenching in his sturdy palm. His bloodshot eyes shot up from the glass to meet Owen who just mentioned those words with audacity. Owen was no longer gaping at Lucas. Instead, he had his gaze on the lake as he poured out his mind without any hesitation and without giving a second thought. "I already have my mate, Lucas! I can't have yours, right?! I am not supposed to mate with her on your behalf!" Owen said all of this in a breath and his voice was high-pitched and squealed, showing how frustrated he was. His face bearing tension and anger all of a sudden went cold as his very own set of words rang in his ears. "What the f*ck did I say?!" Owen blasted out in his mind and his eyes went wide. Hardly had he completed his words in his mind that he could hear a shattering s
"Mate Matching Ceremony?!" Lucas said in his shrill voice holding a considerable amount of shock. Owen not only gave a confident nod to his question but also raised his eyebrows in emphasis.Lucas was biting his lower lip in shock. It was just hard to digest that something as big as the Mate Matching Ceremony was happening without him knowing it and that too tomorrow in the RED RIVER CLAN's Territory!Lucas was unnerved for an important event not happening in the clan with his consent and he asked in disbelief and his tone this time also carried anger, "In our Clan?!"Again Lucas received a nod from Owen. Lucas' mouth fell agape and he detached his eyes from Owen and randomly had his glance at the surroundings before returning to Owen. Pushing out a long breath of frustration, Lucas blasted through his gritted teeth, "And how come you are making such a big decision alone?!" The air of disbelief was still around and Lucas screeched, "How could you do that?!"Owen gaped at the angry
Lucas was downright angry when Owen paired him with Shell Clan Lycan King's Daughter. Closing his eyes for a second, Owen said with a gawky smile, "Trust me, Lucas, you two will look so perfect!" Owen pressed Lucas' shoulder and flashed a beaming smile. Lucas closed his eyes and his red face vibrated. Out of fury, he shook himself aggressively and pushed Owen's hands, releasing himself from his tight grip. Throwing his palm to grab Owen's back of the neck, he shouted, "It's my life, there's no need for you to set me up with anyone! I will choose my mate whenever I want!"Owen dropped his grin and hissed, "You are waiting for others to take away your mate, right?! I am afraid that when you run down to choose your mate, she might already be someone else's, Lucas?!" With a drop dead serious look, Owen said that. Owen's bitter truth rendered Lucas' anger to reach the seventh sky. Owen closed his eyes as he could feel the grip on the back of his neck hardened by Lucas sending pain to h
Skyla's eyes went wide when she spotted Owen riding a horse cart. Her elated face thinking that she was out of sight and close to freedom turned pale when Owen screeched, "WAIT!"Skyla was quick to swing her head to prevent the man from catching a look of her face. Skyla's lips trembled as she quaked, "Oh no! Skyla, run!"With those words puffed in the air, Skyla prepared her feet to run. As she took a few strides, she could hear the horse's cry getting louder indicating the cart was getting closer. Skyla was quick to realize that if she would keep running in the straight direction, she would be caught. She decided to take a turn and stepped on the left side and hid herself behind yet another banyan tree. Slapping her back to the banyan tree, she heaved for some breath but made sure her mouth was covered. Looking up at the sky sprayed with stars, Skyla prayed in her mind, "Oh Goddess! Please save me!!"NEIGH!!!Skyla got scared on hearing the horse's cry followed by the loud, male v
Alpha John's Bedroom, Red Moon Pack.3:00 AM"Where the f*ck is your spoiled brat, Elizabeth?!" Alpha John screamed at his Luna Elizabeth who just got inside their room from outside.Elizabeth, who was cladded in a peach colored night dress, frowned on seeing how angry her Alpha was! Wringing her hands, she said, casting intermittent, shaky glances at her husband and then on the floor, "He will be here soon!"Alpha John cladded in his dark blue nightgown, who was pacing back and forth out of agitation, stopped and dropped his gaze down to see his mate. He took a giant step toward her and said through his clenched teeth, "He is being summoned for the past half an hour yet he isn't showing up in our bedroom!! What is he f*cking doing, Elizabeth?!" Alpha John's face was red with anger. He glared at his mate in a way, she wasn't able to match his eyes and had her head low like a scared puppy. She flinched a bit when Alpha John grabbed her arm and shook her hard before barking at her."An
"Aah!!" Skyla let out a mild scream as she was pulled down by her leg from the horse cart and slapped on the ground. Skyla's door of freedom just got closed in front of her eyes when she wasn't allowed to climb the horse cart. She was slapped with a thud. Skyla tried to escape but her hands were tightly gripped by Owen. She could hear Owen's audible breaths that were inhaled and exhaled in a frustrating manner. Skyla opened her eyes and she started trembling when on the backdrop of the shining moon, she saw the dark face of Owen bearing blue eyes that were glowing bright blue in color, shooting daggers at her. Though Skyla had seen his face for a freaking second, she was scared of his dark face. "Oh Goddess! I can't let him see me!!" Skyla's mind that went numb by being under the grasp of Owen got switched on. And there she went wriggling her legs and scratching them up and down against the ground to get free from Owen. At times, her lips would just be sealed together, oozing in pai
"Aahh, Ahhhh!!" The man lying in his own pool of blood groaned in pain. His breaths were creating havoc that he couldn't even groan in pain. He was growing weaker and would knock unconscious at any time. This was clear from his aching groans reducing in pitch. Skyla's hand fled to her mouth as she gaped at the dying man with her big eyes. A different wave of fear hit her hard and the hair of her body stood erect on seeing the man in a disheveled state. Never had she seen someone this injured, someone who could depart to the deathbed anytime. Skyla was dead scared seeing the man's body wriggling with pain. He was lying on the ground on his stomach. His breaths escaping from his mouth were hitting the ground and causing the mud to puff and settle on his face and some mud particles were invading his eyes. His partially opened eyes were bloodshot, shining like rubies but the glow was slowly fading away as the strappy man's condition wouldn't allow him to lift the weight of his eyelids.
The man who was running out of breath tried to open his eyes wide to see who was the girl helping him out. "Why is she helping me out?! Everyone knows me and everyone f*cking shuns me! My own people don't care even if I die but this girl is trying to save me, why?! Why Moon Goddess?!" thought the dying man who was struggling with his breath and hung his mouth open drawing in and out his unsteady breaths. The man's eyes weren't ready to give him a clear crystal vision of her face. Through his hazy vision, all he could see was the girl had some strings in her hands and when the man felt his waist getting released slowly allowing him some space to breathe, he figured out that she was undoing his corset. Skyla's heart thudded against her chest. It was a crucial moment for her to hasten up because someone's life was at the stake. Skyla thought, "I can't see him dying! I have never seen him! I don't know him but still I feel terrible! It feels like I might die if I am not able to save h
