A gasp wracked my chest as someone shook me to wake. I was hearing a soft murmur in my ears. Like a sweet voice was singing around me. I opened my eyes but squeezed them immediately close as the light was so much for my eyes. "Open your eyes slowly," I heard her velvet voice again. I opened them as she told me. Over the course of a few breaths, I could see. Another loud gasp left my lips as I saw her wings. They stretched, reaching at least ten feet wide. The feathers were beautiful, pure white. As they appeared, she was so beautiful, wrapped in a silky white gown, her golden hair was wavy and spread over her shoulders. She was very tall, near six feet. I blinked in disbelief. It was impossible. I couldn't see an angel. Gradually, I drew my hand near my arm and I pinched hard. I didn't want her to disappear, "Ouch," I rubbed the spot still gawking at her, "You're real and sooo beautiful," My voice was full of shock. I still didn't know.
I brushed my arms against the chill settling into me. The window was closed but I knew what would be outside. I had seen it last time at the full moon. "You're looking so beautiful," Claudia hugged me from behind. Her hold wasn't tight on me. I could feel she didn't want to spoil my dress before my mate saw me in it. Troy brought me a new white dress, with a long slit on one side of it. It was going with my curves, off shoulders gown. My hair was braided and tucked in a bun at the end of my nape. It was decorated with pearls. My mother kissed my head. She was looking healthy and happy, "Are you nervous, child?" She asked. I looked up at her lifting my chin. I nodded my head. I knew his pack, it was my home now. But being the center of all gazes made me nervous. My hands were cold. "There is nothing to scare, Kim. It's a proud moment," Carina said. I heaved a soft sigh and nodded. I flashed my perfect genuine smile. A soft tap on the
I squinted my eyes against the sun. It was blazing extra today. I raised my hand above my eyebrows, shielding my eyes against the sun. Our wooden house was small, with only two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a small living hall. I strolled ahead, trying to find peace for my skin under the shadow of a tree. It was a very hot day. I wasn't hunting but I liked to see rabbits wandering, jumping around. Though, my mother didn't consider this. I glanced at our backyard garden. My mother was a healer. I got this in my blood too. I could see all the grown vegetables, herbs, and all essential spices, I was still trying to learn their names and their benefits. It had been years. My mother learned everything from a little age.I wasn't out here under the burning sun to see rabbits. They must be resting under the ground in the holes that called their homes. It must be cool there. Sometimes, I wanted to be a rabbit instead of a
The anger and frustration mixed inside me. Claire was our friend because she wanted to, Alpha' sister got everything in her life. Now her new demand was Troy. Why was I getting bothered with her demand? I clenched my hands into fists. I didn't like it. It shouldn't affect me. I should contemplate killing him, instead of his being of mate with our friend. I didn't even wanna call her friend. Friends didn't neglect you or go against you when they got something they wanted. Her demand was wrong, she was wrong. I returned home. My mother's beaming face came into view. I plastered a smile on my face. She was going to smell my anger, anyway. She was plucking the vegetables for dinner. The basket was full of potatoes, tomatoes, peas, beets, cabbage, broccoli, mushroom, spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, coriander, kale, collards, turnips, lettuce. I could already see a filled bucket behind her and a second in front of her, ready to be full. "Hello, mamma,"
I'd thank him later. I would get some time for myself. Our exams were over. There was nothing to do in the school but our English teacher, she never stopped. Now we're prepared to take on the duties related to our packs. But we were already doing our duties along with our studies. War took everything in a few minutes, but it took years to build them back. I kept moving deep into the woods. My wolf was calm and she wasn't making any comments. Perhaps, she wanted this too. Distraction! I tried to calm my breathing. His thoughts gave me a lot of unwanted and new feelings. For a sec, I thought I wouldn't be able to peel my gaze off of him. I couldn't stop his handsome face flashing before my closed eyes. Thanks to my anger, it distracted me and helped me not to do anything wrong. "Kimberlie," I was startled by the loud scary tone. I recognized his voice instantly. He was our Alpha. Max. What did he want? I hadn't forgotten his glare. "Max?"
Troy's POV The food was amazing. I would never come here, not even after signing the peace treaty. My sister, her happiness brought me here. Katherine was looking happy with him. If he couldn't keep her as he had promised me. I'd kill every single wolf of his pack. But someone has captured my attention. She is so vulnerable. They called me their enemy. I don't care. She will be mine. Her scent still lingered in my lungs. Her taste was still on my tongue. "What do you say, Alpha?" I pulled out myself from my thoughts and stared at his Beta, Kelvin. "It looks natural but it does seem. Wild animals stay out of our territory as they can sense the danger." I told them. I had a lot of enemies. Thanks to my f****** father. His death didn't merely bring me the title of the Alpha but a bucket full of enemies. "We couldn't smell or get anything suspicious," Max said. There is where you are allowing your enemies to dig your grave, and rule your people. He doesn
My true mate could be anywhere in the world. A dreamy look filled my eyes. My pulses picked up as I smelled his familiar scent. No way, he could be here. Could he? I darted my big eyes around. I hurried out of my room, "Momma! Momma! Did someone..." My jaw fell open. When I could smell his scent in the living room too. He was here. "Here you are, my dear. You missed breakfast with Alpha Troy," Carina aunty said. Her small smile never left her. "What?" It was a whisper. I snapped my jaw shut, "He was here?" I drifted my gaze from aunty to my mother. I couldn't keep the astonishment away from my expression. "Yes, are you hungry?" She asked with her usual full smile. "Yeah," I muttered, sitting down on the chair. I wasn't certain. He was here. My mother was the best cook, no doubt. Obviously, this would be the reason. Mom placed a bowl full of chopped fruits, "Why did he come?" I asked, feeling a rush of warmth begin in my belly at the thought
I was reliving the memories spent with him. Being with Claudia and Ammu was a great distraction. He wasn't around but he was in my room before leaving and now, he was toying with my mind. 'Get a hold of yourself,' "Look at yourself, girl," Claudia shouted cheerfully. I glanced at them, "Let's go to school," I told them. "I didn't want to," Ammu said immediately. Frighten returned on her face. "Oh, come! You'll like it there and make new friends. You have us if someone teases you," Claudia tugged her with her, enveloping her arm around her slim arm. I stumbled over something when I saw a bigger man standing out near the Apple tree. His arms were bulky and long, he must be seven feet tall. His dark gaze turned to me. He could kill us easily. "He's Brew. He saved me last night." Ammu spoke and stepped forward, offering him a smile. She bowed her head. "Why does she always bow her head?" Claudia asked with a c
