Hesitant, her head peeked through the door flashing him a wide smile.

Dominik rolled his eyes in his mind.

“It is this troublemaker again.” He muttered.

Why did she have to visit now?

With eyes that never stayed in one place every few seconds, it didn't take long for her to spot him and strode towards him.

Alpha Valery and Aria stopped, their attention clearly drawn to the girl.

None of them knew who she was.

“Hi.” She waved.

It was obvious that she didn't grasp the tension in the room or maybe she just didn't care.

Valery turned to look at Dominik.

He looked stiff as though he was caught doing something bad.

Her unplanned visit was going to give him problems later, Dominik thought.

“Seems like you have a new…visitor?” He stated suggestively. “Aria, if you will.”

Aria glanced at the girl and without

a word, stomped out of the door followed by her father.

Dominik didn't object this time. The last thing he wanted was to create a scene in front of the girl.

He had hoped for a hug or go

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   19: Plans of ending the rumors

    Selly has never felt vulnerable like she did that day. People touching her, petting her. Not one body part was spared as they took whatever measures and samples they needed for their lab test. It was beyond disrespect and all she could was watch as it all unfolded. To them, she was a new kind of wolf that they were now experimenting with. From their conversation, she concluded that she has become famous overnight. A lone tear fell from her sad eyes while the broken pieces of her now weak heart continued to multiply. If only she could turn back time, she thought, she would never reveal her identity as Jordan's mate. She would silently go back to Erichon and forget about ever having had a mate. She would face her fate head on and marry the king of Horizenia. The kind of things she would have to go through once they confirmed that she really wasn't just a wolf terrified her. She had seen way too many documentaries to understand that being a guinea pig was no joke. I have to lea

    Beta Grigor narrowly escaped the second hit aimed at him.The actions stirred the alpha’s anger and his visage turned visibly darker.How dare he? Internally, Lewis was burning with anger.“Fighting me won't change a thing.” Grigor reminded as he stood a few feet away from his Alpha.His words only seemed to send Lewis even further up into the graph of his anger.“A well respected and responsible businessman like yourself should face his challenges and not cower like a loser.” The Beta taunted.A low growl erupted from Alpha Lewis.Advising him was one thing but calling him a coward was definitely overstepping his boundaries and for that alone, Lewis was determined to show Grigor his rightful place. Out of all people, he expected total support and understanding from his Beta but this…What had gotten into Grigor’s head to act so disrespectfully, order-less like he did.Grigor smirked, “The more we lose time without doing anything to get the rogue in our hands first, the more it will

He thought. These seniors have been landing merciless blow after blow just for it to end just like that?To Alpha Lewis, Grigor was the best person he had ever crossed paths with. His Beta knew him too well. He also understood why Grigor taunted him purposely. “Sometimes, a good fight helps regulate emotions and relax the mind.” He remembered Grigor’s words from many years ago.While to many it seemed logical to think things out, Grigor and him had their own ways of solving things.That fight was a way of Beta Grigor to help Lewis sort out his mind and they both knew it.A loud bang echoed as the walls of the mansion shook with

    Selly lay on the floor while her mind overworked, cooking plan after plan on how to escape from her captors.Staying in her wolf form unwillingly for days had suddenly like years of torture.Her heart yearned for freedom. A chance to grieve her loss of mate properly without being hindered by her survival instincts.By now, she was certain that they were not going to release her any time soon.How life had changed, she thought. To think that even food was being delivered to her through a small hole. It made her feel small and no less to a prisoner.But just like yesterday, she didn't have much hope. Slowly, the frustration and longing was eating at her once peaceful soul.Back then when she was still a keeper of Agal, revered by all, her life was simple. Her only job was to eat and live. Occasionally attending Erichonian councils and performing rituals. It had been perfect until the nightmares began. If only she had listened to Mother Priestess, her life would have remained uneventful.

    Selly’s heart was threatening to leap out through her throat. Thinking and planning to break free was one thing, executing the plan was a different matter. Something that frightened her, what if she failed? Doubt crept in. Running away was fine but purposely hurting an innocent person along the way was the most difficult part.“I doubt she will wake up.” An officer said, encouraging doctor Matilde who seemed to be more nervous than the last time she came.“We don't know about that.” Matilde said.“Is it because you didn't bring your special tranquilizer this time around?”Matilde’s eyes turned a bit wider but her eyes remained on Selly, not once losing her focus on the task. “You could say so.”“Of course, I worry. You have no idea how dangerous this thing can be.” She added.When Matilde’s hand finally rested on Selly, she felt surges of emotions that she wasn't aware of or at least they weren't hers to begin with.Her blood boiled and she was surprised at the sudden hatred, anger

    She still remembered that day. It had rained and the soil was damp and smelled earthy. Selly had been inside when she heard a knock. Deciding to answer the door, she wrapped herself with a scarf and headed out. The sky was already turning into a mixture of black and golden-red hues, a promise of changing seasons. The young woman who looked no more than twenty stood by the entrance. Spotting her late-hour visitor walking towards her with the help of a cane, she decided to meet her half way. “Mother priestess,” Selly’s face lit up as she bowed at the older woman. “I have been thinking about paying you a visit lately but here you are. At her words, a girly chuckle escaped the old woman’s lips. “The sky is rather colorful today that I felt like stretching these old legs of mine.” The woman bowed even deeper than she did, “Apologies for arriving unannounced.” Holding mother priestess' hand, she led her towards a pavilion by the garden. Shortly, a maid arrived with a tray, the ke

Not known as the aggressor, the young king was simply not scared of no one.The rest of the kingdoms wouldn't dare to intervene because consequently, that would escalate to world war which everyone was trying to prevent.Jeopardizing the two centuries of peace in Agal after having fought each other for hundreds of years was out of the equestion.Erichon and Horizenia were simply on their own.Putting the letter inside a drawer, Selly packed a small backpack.

    “Baby?” Luna Collette called, “wake up.”Jordan responded to neither sound nor touch.“Mama needs you.” She sniffed.Alpha Lewis caressed him, something about his son's wolf rubbed him differently.Something just felt a little off, he thought.He admitted though, his son surpassed him in size, with a fur coat as dark as a moonless night with no speckle of dust, he would definitely be the envy of many. As for strength, he didn't have much to say, they have never fought one to one.Glancing to the heavens, “My Goddess, please have mercy on my son.” he prayed quietly.If Jordan made it, the two would have a duel, Lewis made himself a promise.Now that he thought about it he had never interacted much with the adult Jordan. His son preferred his own company. He knew the reasons.Lewis did try to get close to him, create a father-son bond but his attempts were alway swatted by Jordan.The two couples stayed in Jordan's cell, not once leaving his side.Beta Grigor stood at the top stairs

    Selly grew even more restless. They were going to shoot her, again. When the consciousness had started to return to her, she heard them discussing her being a different type of wolf. In a nutshell, she couldn't just shift to her human form. At least not in front of them. She had shifted once and it had caused her the death of Jordan. She had hurt the innocent guard who was just doing his job and Dominik had not been spared. She was remorseful for the things she had done in a fit of rage and she wasn't going to make the same mistake. All she wanted was to break free and run away, it wasn't like she would stay in her wolf form forever, she thought. The scratches continued, the indentation increasing with each time. “What's going on here?” The head of the facility made his way to where Selly was locked in. “Sir, the wolf won't stop causing trouble.” The one with the rifle said. “And you think watching her continue damaging the facility properties is the wise choice? ”
