ANNABELLE."Do we have a deal, Miss Devirolli?"My mouth works faster than my brain can analyze what the obnoxiously hot stranger is saying and is asking me to do. "Are you fucking kidding me, right now?" His molten silver irises roll to the back of his head in exasperation, "I don't have the time nor the will to fucking kid you," his lips purse as he emphasizes my colorful choice of words. "I need us to complete the mating process to get the rest of my powers to function and I'm willing to pay whatever price you'd ask for.""Is that so hard to understand, Annabelle?" Yes, it was, you demonic asshole. The grind of his teeth makes me laugh as he says, "I heard that.""Good, you were meant to," I smile, standing up. "And we don't have a deal. I don't need a mate. I specifically don't need you anywhere near me or my pack. Try me and you'll fucking get it."He was too full of himself and prideful, and that right there ticked me off. I shouldn't be this angry at someone that I was suppo
ANNABELLE.The need to break something doesn't fade. It doesn't leave. It sticks with me like a shadow, furthering agitation, aggravation and my slipping self control as I recall their obnoxiously gorgeous faces. I was no coward when it came to confrontation but Goddess if I didn't feel like one tonight. And that lead me here.Shuffling through my closet for random clothes just to drop them in the black duffle bag. My anger skyrockets as my hands don't stop trembling and I fling the unfinished packed bag towards the wall and watch it fall to the ground.My frame in toe as I growl in rage and hug my knees to my chest, burying my head into them. "I'm rejecting them and I'm not fucking running away!" I shout to no one, my fist making contact with the wooden flooring of my room in a swift but painful thud.The connection between me and Aria is a trainwreck, she had been howling in agony since we ran away from them. Every step we took away from them was pure torture to her, whilst I stru
ARSENIO."You can take all your words and shove them right up your ass! Where I hope they’ll fester and fucking rot!"Damn.She was ballsy, this one, I'll give her that.In this case, however, she needed to calm down before my brother snaps at her. I, personally, had no problem watching her yell and curse us out. As bored as I can get with people's ranting, hers I could take for some reason.Dare I say that she even looked cute doing it, with her dark eyes blazing, fangs bared in a threat as the demon, Reed, tried to calmly talk to her but constantly refuted him.My sanity is slipping. Atlas miffs through our mind link, annoyed and barely holding back. Just how the hell could someone be so cute but so fucking annoying, at the same time?"Beats me," I murmur, side eyeing the Omega to my right, teeth gnawing on his lip, seeming fidgety. "You okay?" I watch as his Adam's apple bobs, his lips parting, silver eyes widening a smidgen, "I -I'm okay, y-your majesty," the exaggerated bow of re
ZYNETH.Either I was going deaf or having a stroke.Maybe both. Their voices were so loud. So loud that I couldn't help but force my ears shut with my hands. Trying not to shift and run off to the wild. I release a quiet whimper filled with anguish as they keep arguing.Breathe. My wolf murmurs trying to console me. Breathe, slow and steady. You're going to be okay. Zen repeats again, disdain and solemness flowing through our bond but that doesn't really affect me the way that it used to.Since my sixteen birthday, the day that I got blessed by getting my wolf hide, I had been having...relapses. Nightmares, dreams. Visions of a possible destructive future have chases me since then. I never told anyone besides my mother and father.And then, my world had shifted.My parents and family died two years after that and I had seen it in a vividly colored vision, bits and pieces of it sticking to me until I had lived them in real life. It hit me like a train running over me again and again.
Hi! I know it has been a long time since I have updated this book. And I am sorry for the delay. I really have tried to upload more chapters but this book is new and I have had a bit of a difficulty trying to come up with a great plot that would suit everyone's taste and not be a cliche without any new elements that would surprise the readers. However, I, fortunately and right now, have a lot of free time where I could work on it and make it better, and update it more. Stay tuned!Love.
ANNABELLE.Mindful of the knob turning as the door unlocks with almost unnoticeable creak, I look up, my arms still wounded tight on Zyn's frame as he slept on my outstretched legs. "Hey," Zach's frame comes to vision, leaning against the door frame. Arms crossed as he smiles at me. "You doing okay?""Hey." I utter back just as low, my hand weaving through the vulnerable Omega's hair. "I should ask you that."Letting a chuckle slip out, he cheekily retorts,"Well, I'm not the one that'll have to regularly deal with your.... interesting harem. They're quite the bunch."I find truth in his words. I haven't seen anyone like them before. At all. Sure, the twins were a little problematic, Atlas more so than Arsenio. And Reed's hard exterior that was hard to break through. Adding Zyneth's innocence. They were one hell of a mix.I'm not the one to speak either. I was far from being perfect. Far from being what they'll actually need. But that wasn't why I was so against this connection. This
ANNABELLE.I'm pulled out of a deep sleep by the soft touch of a callous hand being ran through my thick fur. It doesn't feel threatening. And in my mindless state I rub my snout into its warmth and let out a huff, stretching my limbs until a satisfactory crack resounds.An almost melodious chuckle follows. A few more rustling and I feel someone's body heat pressing against me, he's leaning against the tree. His hand not seizing its movements, it glides across my back to my ears. Then I hear his voice, in a delicate whisper. "Beautiful little wolf."My Soulmark glows as he touches my ears again and I try to shuffle away. Resistant to the feel of our bond strengthening the longer he touches me. I sense his solemness as he notes how I keep backing away. Still pretending to be asleep but he doesn't need to know that. "Why can't you always be like this...." His hesitancy makes me thinks twice before I let out an almost unidentified growl as he finishes his words. "Serene."I want to take
ARSENIO.The distance continues to lessen between me and my mate. Restless as she stands upright, her posture stiff as she guides us outside where a large and vaste wooden table is set. There's another behind it and another then another. All of them where her Pack members are seated. Some chatting amongst themselves, some laughing and teasing each other and some just quietly observing with smiles on their faces.It was joyous.Wasn't anything like I have ever seen and it makes me feel like an outsider prying on a personal gathering.I turn my head towards the beautiful brunette as she greets my brother who spares her with a nod not bothering to vocalize his greeting, being his typical brute self. She moves on to the demon who does the same except that his eyes don't quite meet hers as she tries to hold his gaze. His avoidance is alarming and it makes me wonder what happened between them to act so...awkwardly.The transparent turmoil in Annabelle's eyes gets a miniature smirk on my li
