Tyler beckoned me to have lunch with him alone because, according to his words, he gravely missed me for over five hours. For a damn five freaking hours! โHeโs just overreacting,โ I thought. Itโs already a bit late for lunch. Two in the afternoon seems a good hour to combine lunch and snack at one mealtime. As soon as my ass rested on the chair, Tyler asked for the menu as I surveyed the place. We chose the table on the second floor since we have a nice view at Times Square. โIs this your first time in Red Lobster?โ He asked as he flipped through the pages. โYes,โ I tried to stop the tears that threatened to wet my makeup. โThe Rutherfords only go here alone and I was always left house-sitting our own house.โ โMay I now take your order, sir?โ A masculine voice interrupted our conversation. โNo, not yetโโ I hoisted my face on the waiter, only to run out of words. It was himโthe m
Tyler and I burned the calories in our bodies from those immense plates of food inside the car. โI never tried this before,โ I blushed as I reached for my bra and underwear. โWhat?! You never had sex after a restaurant date before?โ I shook my head as he locked my bra from the back. โNo, not once. Not until now.โ He chuckled softly against my skin, his breath a warm sensation that made my nipples hardened. โI think we should go now, Tyler.โ But the Alpha continued to shower me with soft, wet kisses, trailing my body as if it was his flower only meant for his pinkish lips. โI still want to be inside you, babe.โ His whisper is sweet and spicy, hot but romantic. โLet me show you how I give a mind-BLOWing reaction to the JOB you are doing, Tyler.โ He immediately deciphered my secret code and, in a bite of my lip, I was facing the hugeness of his flesh once again, kneeling on the floor of
It all happened a week before, or was it more than a week? I can no longer count the days of horror that filled my lonely soul since then, since that horrifying day that I found out Joey has died. Ever since that day that I drove the car home, my mindless family inside that car while we are chased by huge wolves that I once thought were werewolves. Waitโฆwere those huge, horse-sized black and white and brown wolves Tyler, Jason, and Karlo? โAre you drunk, Elaine?!โ My own mind scolded my awake self. But every image and detail on that beach never left me since that day: the foul smell, the horrid sight. Every single fucking thing. โIโm worried about you, you knowโฆโ Tyler brought strands of hair to the back of my ear. My head cocked to his cerulean eyes so blue that every time my gaze lingered on the eyes of my betrothed, I drowned like a sturgeon cascading at the bottom floor of the ocean. In fact, I am drowning now. But I am not dying. In fact,
My day ended with a tired smile on my face. My exhausted body is pretty obvious to the Alphaโs sight.. Jason and Karloโs repetitive questions about the beach incident more than a week ago made my head much heavier. โAre you okay now?โ Karlos rubbed my back. โDid they touch you during their original form?โ Jason was much firm in squeezing me for answers. I just shook my head and he sighed with ease. โThis is the sign, Tylerโโ โWhat sign?โ I immediately put Karloโs words to a halt. I know the setting sun is beckoning me now to walk my ass home and quit interfering with the wolvesโ patrolling during the night for those heart-wrenching creatures of the dark. But curiosity, as always, kills a catโor more like, delays the dogs for their appointment. It was Jason who faced me. โThat the event we fear the most has finally come to reality.โ โAnd that is?โ โThe century fe
Tylerโs POV Jose seems weird. He addresses me by Alpha instead of Ty or Jane. And heโs wearing jeans and a shirt when I told him to wear a suit. โLetโs go hunting,โ Jason patted me once on the shoulder. My eyes remained on the busy street, where the crescent moon brightens the dark heavens. I trailed after Jason and Karlos after a minute, the latter in his wolf form; his fur is a cloak of shadows. We were crossing a deserted alley drenched in darkness when a car honked, stopping us in the middle of the street. โI stopped by a car repair shop since I donโt know how to fix your midnight blue Porsche baby, Ty.โ I froze, coldness wrapped my body. Remus howled fiercely inside me. Before I could blink, Karlos was already sprinting on the opposite side. I remained pinned to the ground. โElaineโฆโ My soul ached. โElaineโฆโ A tear fell from my face, the nightly breeze wiping it away. โWhat the
Tylerโs POV I wiped her mouth as she opened her eyes. We did not proceed at my mansion yet. We are here, in the Lunaโs Lake, the lake beside the training field and sparring arena. The moon above, now fully illuminating the starry blanket, reflected in the surface of the lake, where I washed every filth away from her body and healed Elaineโs every wound with the waterโs help. Only scars on her skin stayed when she yawned and stretched her arms. Beautiful scars that make us now equal. I have scars on my own, from training and fighting and hunting Hearteaters. Even from lovemaking from the various women I bedded but never loved. I took off my shirt, showing my biceps and laying my godly body before her. A feast for her to savor, Remus whispered. โAm I alive?โ I gave her a nervous laugh. โYou can only see my dick when youโre alive.โ She grinned. โThen I fucking am alive.โ This was the n
Tylerโs POV โFifty Shades of Gray? Thatโs what we are going to watch?!โ My little snow flower nodded like a beagle being asked by her master. โI thought we were going to watch a funny movie.โ โThis is a funny movie,โ Elaine reasoned. โAt least some part of it. The original trilogy is basically a fanfiction of Twilight, the movie we last watched.โ โTwilight? The one where they portray vampires with diamond skin and werewolves that shift with clothes on?โ โYup. Thatโs the one!โ Elaine even chucked, which made my brows furrowed in confusion. Mortals have a weird taste of literature to be honest. As Elaine grabbed her popcorn and I was left sitting on the golden couch shirtless and compelled to watch whatever this film is about, I slid my hand to my dick to keep my palm warm. โThe title sounds poetic though?โ She just shrugged. โSo tell meโฆโ I continued. โWhat are the fifty shades of gray?โ
I am in the realm of dream, where fantasy feels like reality. Where being a princess without a prince is possible. Where summoning a storm without being wrecked by it is within a reach of the hand. I am dreaming. I am sure of it. Or am I not? I look around, let my senses see and hear and touch and taste and smell everything. I can feel the heat of the sun, taste the cool wind around me, and hear the rustling of the leaves in the Misty Forest. I can see the bright green leaves, the wide grass field beckoning me to feel its natural softness. I can smell the fragrance of after-rain, of petrichor andโ โSomeoneโs cooking,โ I turn to my heel and search for the origin of the scent. The smell is from roasted pork belly, seasoned with what smells like pepper and salt and rosemary. And butter. I can see a tiny house in the distance, smoke coming out in its chimney. Is that a farmhouse? A cattle, the sound of chickens a
This is my fucking third book, which took me almost six months to finish. *laughing devilishly* You might be surprised why this has a sad/shocking ending. But Iโd like to point out that not all stories end in โhappily ever afterโ. I look forward to expanding the story of Elaine and Tyler. But as long as it does not harbor enough readers, the ending remains as it is. If ever enough readers would demand a sequel or a better love story between Elaine and Tyler, then I shall provide you/them a story that will fulfill happiness and give justice to the characters. Iโm sorry if this story ends this way as there are things that made me stop at that point. As a writer with limited resources and is struggling, I commit to my very best to provide you quality and unique stories that will somehow quench your reader taste. To be honest, up until now, I am still learning the world of werewolves and fated mates and stuff. Thatโs why my n
Jasonโs face crumpled and stared at the wounds on his body. โDonโt you think itโs weird?โ โWhat?โ โIโve been kidnapped, but they treated my wounds.โ โYeah, I agree. What else could be the reason that they were keeping you alive?โ Jason scratches his chin and looks at the ceiling seriously. โI donโt knowโฆโ He continues, โTheyโre trying to get something from me.โ His jaw locked. We fell in silence. He looked at me again. โWhereโs Elaine by the way?โ I blushed. โSheโs out to get me food.โ I lied with a poker face. โOh,โ he nodded, โyouโre hungryโฆโ โYeah. I crave somethingโฆ sweet.โ He fell quiet. โLetโs just wait for her.โ Both of us agreed to โwaitโ for Elaine before we escaped to my white mansion. Elaine has been kidnapped by them, and I woke up in my mansion after that with my brother pounding on the doorstep. However, a blaring sound of an alarm echoed inside, and a monotone and robotic voice spoke on the speaker. โCode 134. Code 134. Code 134. An alien got into the hospita
I know Rowan is stupid, but I didnโt expect him to be dumber than a street dog. He only had a few back up from his kind, but half of them were now on the floor. People were going crazy inside the restaurant as I stumbled on my table and grabbed Elaineโs wrist to get her out of this place. However, a blonde Hearteater kicked my knees and pounced on Elaineโs face. And my wife was thrown away from my grip. Words have no place in a fight to the death. My vision blurs and I no longer fucking care who Iโll kill. Anyone who tries to intervene me will fucking die. I lunged at Rowan but fainted at the last second. He goes whistling past me. Rowan encircled me first before his hands stretched out to grab me. I leap onto Rowan like a howler monkey. When he throws his hands up into my hair and yanks, bending over and trying to flip me off, I cling for dear life, viciously digging my nails into him as hard as I can, tightening my grip like a freaking boa constrictor. He spins and rushes ba
Luna Elaine and I got into a fight an hour later after that. I was ready to prepare for a war. I trained my pack like an army, where death sweeps to wherever we fought alongside each other. Those who want to be part of our journey will sign up voluntarily, those who don't want to, they can freely not. Iโm not an authoritarian leader, so itโs up to the choice they will make. However, all men signed up. No one backed down. โElaineโฆโ I sighed, looking at her tucked up in our bed. Sheโs been like this for the past few days. I was so busy with the pack that I could only check her up in the evening. Tonight, I couldnโt hold the deafening silence between us anymore. โPlease, my wife, donโt be like this.โ No response was heard a heartbeat later. โCan you just support me?โ I heard her muttering a heavy sigh before turning at me. โWhy will I support someone who wants to be a killer? Youโll be no different compared to the Hearteaters.โ My jaw moved, and I couldnโt help but to look awa
Tylerโs POV I thought it will be a peaceful night. We were bombarded with the news circulating in the pack about a pulp who was found dead in the middle of the woods. The guards who were having their nightly rotation immediately reported to the headquarterโs office about the said situation. โWe thought it was a human, but it turns out it was one of our pack, Alpha,โ Geoffrey, a guard on duty, explained to me. A mixture of jasmine and vanilla filled my nose.I glanced at the far left corner, and there, I saw Elaineโs shadow. Her eyes were telling me that she was worried. Very worried. I quickly went to her and grabbed her arms. โWhat are you doing here?!โ โWhat do you mean?โ She scoffed. โSomeone from Stellaโs Soul is dead!โ โAs if it was new to you,โ I growled. โThatโs why you shouldnโt be here, Elaine. Go back to our mansion!โ โAre you kidding me, Tyler?โ โNo, I am not.โ I sighed, my chest felt heavy while my eyes roamed around the place. The guards saw my gesture as a
Tylerโs POV The smell of burning flesh flooded the air, choking me in desperation as I watched my wife burn. My wife. My mate. โMy Elaineโฆโ โYou love her?โ Remus asked. I continue to watch flames erupt from her and burn the nearby grass. โYes,โ I muttered loudly. As loud as Elaineโs shrieks, whose bones are probably melting this very second I hesitated. โThen save her.โ Hesitation flooded my face and mind. But this is not the time to cower. No, I have been a coward long enough. Itโs time to make little sacrifices of my own. I forced my body and soul to crawl near her, disregarding the tears that tried to hinder my sheer sight. Elaine sacrificed herself for usโburned herself for us, even killing our child in her womb. This is wrong. Utterly wrong. Minutes ago, I imagined her killing myselfโdrowning her into the very spring where I used to bathe to clear my thoughts.
Tylerโs POV I parted my mouth from her trembling lips. She was cold and pale despite the balmy breeze here in the spring. Something is wrong with her. I can smell it. Feel it. My hands immediately reached for her bag even before she could protest. And there was only gasoline and matches, a torch and a lighter. โSo weโre going to have a barbecue and you didnโt bring any meat?โ She chuckled, eyes looking straight at the body of water before us. โI hope you can teach me how to hunt. A rabbit will do.โ Sheโs been speaking all along without looking me in the eyes. Something is very wrong here. The doctor just called me minutes ago that Elaine is acting suspiciously, disturbingly. Asking questions about burning and suicide, says itโs about a book sheโs reading. The once joyful Elaine, my Elaine, has suddenly become cold and distant. Scared and worried. โWhatโs wrong, my snow flower?โ She
Several full moons have passed, distress is still whispering in my mind. I have finished reading Rowenaโs journal as far as I can rememberโbefore the moment my eyes burned upon Tyler seeing a bloody blade in the trash, forcing me to make up excuses believable enough for a pregnant, powerless eighteen-year-old woman like me. I never felt sadder than today. It felt like, since I already knew enough from Rowenaโs journal, I no longer felt the need to live. And IโฆI remained prepared for whatever unexpected might happen. What unexpected things I might let happen. I stared at the she-wolf doctorโs face. Sheโs calm and gorgeous compared to me. I might still look beautiful on the outside. But deep inside, Iโm panicking. Quivering and anxious about what may happen in any minute now. Iโm ready to die, yet still afraid of death. โYou must be extra careful, Elaine. Since youโre in your final trimester, youโr
โWhy are we having pasta for breakfast again?โ Tyler sighed, his muscles tensing. โFor carbs and to give us energy, I guess.โ Even if heโs going to feed me a bucket of Carbonara, it will still not give me enough energy to face Eliane. To face all of these shenanigans and bullshits that has been causing chaos in my head. I thought being here in Stellaโs Soul is just being a wife to a werewolf, pleasing the Alpha, being good to other Stellaโs Soul residents, fucking my Alpha husband and giving birth to his heir. Those were the things I have expected ever since Iโve learned about their world. Until I learned about the Hearteaters. And Rowena and dark magic, Eliane and this fucking bitchcraft which involves the fact that I must die so that the latter can resurrect. โWhy Elaine? You donโt like pasta for breakfast?โ I nodded. I forced my feet to stand when he blocked me, eyes burning with emotions I couldnโt fathom
