AEON.I would have wanted to call Alexa directly, but aside from Alexa not having her own phone, Riley told me that, according to Sebastian, his mother and Alpha Aurelius, didn’t like me at all for Alexa.I couldn’t blame them. I wouldn’t like me for her either if I based it on the suffering she had to go through under my watch. I knew I could have done better, but my fear and respect for my father stopped me from protecting her. And I couldn’t do anything about it now.But I am willing to do everything I can to win her back, even if this means I have to win their approval first.So here I was, calling across the country to a pack I had never encountered before. The call was connected to Alpha Adan, the current Alpha of their pack, and, as I found out, was Alexa’s cousin. He might have heard about me, but he was fair enough to be civil with me when I requested to speak with his grandfather. He explained that his grandfather lived in a different estate within his territory and gave hi
After Two Weeks. ALEXA. I woke up with a heavy heart. It has been two weeks since I came here and I still haven’t got the chance to talk with Aeon. I had begged my grandfather to let me call him, but he insisted that we needed to wait for Aeon to call me. And it felt like I was waiting in vain because no calls came for me. I couldn’t understand why Pops was torturing me and wouldn’t allow me to call him instead. I’ve tried numerous times to sneak to the phone line, but I’m always caught, either by Momma or Uncle Audrus. My only consolation was, that Uncle Audrus told me secretly that Aeon had been calling every day to check on me, but Pop had instructed everyone not to let me know. But of course, my uncle was a different case. He was not scared of Pops, so he told me. Although it made me hopeful, I was already losing energy because of missing him. There were days I felt like I wanted to hate Pops, but I kept reminding myself that maybe he was just testing how long Aeon would run a
AEON. If it was just me, I would have flown off to the North immediately after I became an Alpha, but I knew Alexa would understand why I didn’t. I couldn’t just leave my pack without any direction. It took more than a week for me to reach out to everyone and discuss future plans and visions. And within two weeks, the pack found its rhythm. And although I didn’t go after her, I made it a point to call Adan and Audrus to ask about her. Until one time, it was her grandfather that answered the phone, and although he was still cold toward me, he answered things about Alexa. And he began asking about my pack. I just realized he was giving me advice and commending me for things I was doing, and I just found myself telling him all the plans I have for my pack. Until it became my daily routine. I ended my day by calling Alpha Aurelius, and he would tell me what Alexa had been doing, and in return, I would tell him about my pack. In the absence of my father, Alpha Aurelius stepped up. Even
ALEXA. My arms were snaked around Aeon’s body the whole time he was driving us to the packhouse after our little tryst in the middle of the forest. It was only after we had done the deed that I realized how awkward it would be if someone saw us, but despite that, I didn’t have any regrets. I really wanted him so badly. Along the way, he told me what he’d been doing for the last two weeks and how the pack members wanted me back so they could make up for the treatment they had given me. And I wanted nothing more than to come home with him, and start to get to know the pack that one day would be mine too. "Uriel, that man who kicked and hurt you, apologized for the way he treated you and said he was blinded and was just following my father’s order. He asked for another chance." Aeon said in a calm tone. "And what did you do?" I asked, biting my bottom lip. I had no idea how I would move on from that one. "I can’t. I could punish him, make him suffer, but I know that no matter what I
AEON. Tonight is a full moon. This would be my first full moon run with Alexa. But this was also her first full-moon run with her family. In fact, this would be her first run with other wolves, except for Thunder, so I knew why she was so agitated the whole day leading up to tonight. "Relax..." I rubbed my hands against the skin of her arms as I stood behind her. We were already inside the forest grounds and were just waiting for Adan to give his instructions before we could shift. Despite the cold weather, everyone was just in their shirts and shorts, ready to strip off at any time now. Only Jenny had a coat on her because Sebastian didn’t want their baby to be affected by the cold. This was Jenny’s first time in extremely cold weather, and Sebastian was being overly protective. Alexa was also cold, but I told her to let Serenity warm her up, and in no time, she was getting comfortable with the temperature. She’s a winter wolf - she could adapt well in this weather. "So…" Adan cl
AEON. The early morning, crisp, cold air was filling my lungs in a good way as I sat on the bleacher railings. My gaze was locked on Alexa. She was doing her morning sparring with a group of female warriors in the outdoor training grounds. Despite her wearing a light thermal training jacket and thighs that covered her whole body, she was still breathtaking to look at. She was like a pop of color in this cold place. Aside from her physical beauty, she was indeed a sight to see while in combat. Her skills had improved tremendously. She was moving around gracefully, and yet she was fast and flexible — something that must have run in her genes. And the attention given to her to perfect her skills was overwhelming. In no time, I was sure she would be better in combat than her Beta Female. I watched her wink at me before she positioned herself and made a 360-degree kick in the air as she started a new set of drills. She was beautiful in every sense, and the more I looked at her, the mo
ALEXA. The moment we entered the territory, my heart started thudding loudly, and I blamed it on the fact that I was nervous about meeting this pack again. I knew they didn’t have a choice but to accept me because their Alpha wanted them to. I just hoped they would not give me cold shoulders where Aeon could see it. I didn’t want Aeon to worry that his pack didn’t like me. He has many things to think about, and I didn’t want my presence to be an added problem for him. "Where are we heading?" I asked, my brows furrowing as my gaze trailed down the path we were driving down. I have never been in and out of the territory a lot, but on the occasions that I did, I always came in and came out at the same border exit. I already memorized the road leading to the pack house. Because at one point, I was planning to run away, so I knew what I was looking at now was not the same path I knew. "To the packhouse. Our home." Aeon winked at me as he squeezed my hand. "No. This is not the way to th
ALEXA. The night turned out better than I expected. If I was doubting that this pack would accept me, it was all gone by the time we were eating and drinking. The whole time, whether I was seated or standing next to Aeon, or on my own, our pack members would approach me and introduce themselves. Most were females and their pups. And I could see excitement and sincerity in their eyes — they were just as happy as I was. But despite that, my eyes were searching for someone. I had no idea how many times I let my gaze scan the grounds, looking for that one female that I knew sooner or later I had to face. But I didn’t find her. I’ve been itching to ask someone, but I hesitated because I didn’t want to sound insecure, but I guess I underestimated my Beta Female. She could read me. "She’s no longer here." Holly came and stood beside me, handing me a tall glass of Long Island iced tea as she sipped her own drink. "Thank you. What do you mean?" My forehead creased. I wasn’t sure if we were
