I was dumbfounded. The whole time after that freaking meal, I still couldn’t believe what Alpha Jacob said. I wanted to talk to him right after that, but then Alicia made us go back to our chores after and I didn’t know where Jacob went, so I really didn’t have the time and opportunity to talk to him. I sighed and massaged my head again. My mind was haywire. I didn’t know what to do. Was he really serious about that? Why me?! I’m not really convinced that he really liked my dish earlier. It was just unbelievable. I mean, really? Was he kidding me or something? Tsk. It’s annoying. I groaned and shook my head again. “Calla.” I almost jumped on my feet when I heard that voice. I took a deep breath and let out a deep sigh. “What?” I immediately turned around and there I saw Alicia standing with her arms crossed above her chest. “Are you angry?” she asked as her brows raised on me. My eyes widened. I immediately shook my head. “No! No, uhh, yes? What is it?” My heart was beating s
"Aim for the target!" I inhaled deeply while clutching my bow. I squinted a little and aimed my shot towards the large circular board's center. My ears were filled with the thud of the arrows being launched. It was met with applause from the other girls. I expect that a lot of those would have struck the target."Calla, what are you doing? Release it right now!” After I heard my teacher, I blinked many times. Everyone was looking at me. My heart was suddenly hammering so loudly. I gulped. To put my hands steady, I sighed deeply."I'm sure she couldn't even release it," someone said. There was some chuckling after that.I took another long breath. I took a deep breath and gathered my bravery before releasing the arrow. I stood there watching the arrow fly across the board, hoping it will somehow touch the center, but instead of reaching the bullseye, it ricocheted off the board's edge.But then I saw the arrows heading straight for my instructor, my eyes were wide in surprise. Everybod
It seemed as though my entire universe had come to a halt. I had lost interest in my surroundings. Edmund's expression had my whole attention. I was immobile. In my gut, there was a strange tingling feeling. As his face gets closer and closer, I feel like my chest is going to burst.Is he planning on kissing me?"E-Edmund..." I managed to mumble as he drew his face closer to mine. I couldn't think of anything to say or do! I was fascinated by his fragrance. My heart beats faster as I approach his face. I'm feeling sick. I had trouble breathing. Oh goodness. His face had already moved one inch closer to mine.He grinned and vanished into thin air, saying, "See you later." I stood there speechless.I exhaled deeply and clutched my chest. What was it again? I sat on the trunk again after feeling my legs wobble. I sighed and attempted to slow down my breathing. What the hell was that? I'm not sure what he meant. . . I rubbed my temples and took another long breath. Suddenly, I heard a rus
I got sick. The enthusiasm that I had been feeling before had entirely vanished. My knees were trembling and I could feel the flesh quivering, so I wasn't sure how I got home. My right hand was on the door, and I bit my lip. I fell to the ground and sat down. I let out a loud gasp and grabbed my hands to my face. There, I sobbed uncontrollably. How could he hurt me this way? Does he not realize that I am his mate? Did he not detect me? How come he was with Margaux?How can he do this to me?! Why did he do it?! Why did he have sex with her! It was impossible for him not to feel me. I am his mate! I cried my heart out on my face until I already felt numb from the pain that was quivering in my heart. All the hopes for a lovely fairytale eventually shattered because of that. All the fairytales that I have been longing for years now were taken away. I sobbed uncontrollably till my eyes started to ache. Because both of my eyes were already puffy, I could hardly see. It appeared as though t
“Are you being serious right now?” Disbelief was evident in Edmund's voice when he said those words. He even looked around to see if anyone was watching us. We were in a hidden corner here in their kitchen right after he dragged me out of his office so that his servants and the other werewolves wouldn't be able to see me.I kept my eyes on him. “I am serious, Edmund. I can prove to you that I am not a weakling. I am not just any other she-wolf. I can be the Luna that you want. I can be strong, I can be fearless and fierce.” I made sure that I was able to deliver those words to him with conviction.He was just looking at me as if he was trying to examine my face and intention. “Are you challenging me, Calla?”I kept a firm face. I didn’t even blink as I was looking at him. “I will prove you wrong, Edmund. I will prove to you that I can be a better luna. I can be the luna that you want. You cannot just shove me away from this pack that we have been loyal to,” I said firmly. I saw how hi
Pain and anger. That’s what I felt that night. They banished me. They let me go without hesitation in the middle of that freaking ceremony. I wiped my tears harshly as I ran towards the depth of the forest. I’ve got no clothes, no other things. All I brought was myself.I clenched my hands tight as I stopped and fell down on my knees. All I could see was the tall and big trees surrounding me. The moon was bright and it gave me the light I needed that night. I closed my eyes tight as I wept and howled for my bitter fate. Was this really it? What should I do now? I was alone, and I had no one else to go to.I sobbed hard until I could no longer feel the pain and the anger that I felt earlier. I became numb. I didn’t know how long I was staring at the trees in front of me, but after crying and weeping hard, I just found myself not feeling anything anymore. I closed my eyes and sighed. Slowly, I stood and walked away. I didn’t know where. I didn’t know what was waiting for me. I didn’t ca
Shit. This cannot be! This cannot be! How can I be here?! Oh my gosh! Panic overcame my system as I looked around the pack. It was so different from my previous pack. And the people… oh my gosh… they’re scary! Damn it. “Are you okay?” I almost flinched when I heard the woman say that. I swallowed hard as I took in a deep breath. I tried to smile at her but for some reason, I couldn’t. My heart was thumping so bad that I could barely breathe already. Damn it. I am really at Silverstone! Shit. I looked at the woman again as I heaved a deep breath. “A-Am I in Silverstone?” I wanted to smack myself for even asking that. But hell, I needed to be sure! Her brow shut up and then looked at me from head to toe. “Yeah, why?” Fuck! I almost held my breath. I clutched into my chest and immediately gulped. I stepped back and didn’t even. “Shit,” I said to myself. Damn it. I was panicking inside already. I mean shit, am I really in the turf of the most feared pack in the land?! Who knows
“My apologies, alpha, she’s a bit tactless.” I was still frozen on the ground as I looked at the alpha of Silverstone. I am fucked. Yes, I am fucked. “A weak, but gutsy she-wolf…hmm.”I gulped hard. “You just met her, Jacob. How can you assume?” I heard someone muffled a laugh.I bit my lip even harder. I could feel their stares piercing through me. Shit. I am really so doomed right now!“I can smell her fears,” the Alpha said, which made me avert my gaze away from him. Fuck…“I’ll be responsible for her, Alpha,” I heard Alicia say. She was already beside me. My heart was thumping so hard that I could already hear it beating. I shut my eyes tight as I heaved a sigh. I kept on telling myself that I should apologize now or else, I’ll really be dead. Damn it. I inhaled a deep sigh and looked down.“I-I’m sorry, A-Alpha… I didn’t mean to…” I said, my voice was almost fading as I said those words to him. Damn it. I was so damn scared for my life already. It felt like any moment, he w
