The first thing I saw, when I opened my eyes, was a bright sunlight that penetrated through the room. I squinted as it was hurting my eyes. It was already morning. It meant I slept through the night. I flexed my muscles and held my breath. I waited for the pain to come but it didn’t. I was glad. I found out that I could sit up. I walked around the empty house before I went to go lie down. I saw the plate of food beside the bed, and found out that I had been spoon fed. I couldn’t see a picture of my host around the house so I settled back in. As I lay back, I noticed that my wounds were now getting healed. I caressed them. Just as I did that, I began to remember how I had gotten to this here in the first place. “Volk, your coronation will be coming up soon, what plans to you have for the werewolf kingdom?” The Alpha of the Drix pack and also the Alpha of the Alphas,my father asked me. In the werewolf kingdom, the Drix Pack, which was my pack has always had the alpha of the Alpha
CHAPTER ONEVOLKMy entire existence was sculptured around dominating and standing above every pack, so what I thought would be my greatest disappointment happened 9 years ago when Dad told me I couldn't be an Alpha at 16 and also warned me against being too hasty. He had called me immature and made it clear Ashina could also take the spot if I did not prove myself worthy. Being the strongest in my pack at that time, it was beyond appalling to hear Dad speak to me with such little regard.It didn't matter if my sister, born five minutes before me, had relieved herself of the right at a young age. Dad reminded me that he could always change the tides and humble me with the worst punishment. Ashina was equally very strong and as children, our powers were on par. I had been careful ever since and more cautious of every decision I made. Even after I figured Ashina, nor any wolf could ever be as strong as I was, I still heeded Dad’s warning.
CHAPTER TWOLOWELLI watch Volk closely as the meeting commences. He was uneasy and from what happened earlier, It had to do with the girl.”It is a shame that the Amarok’s have been charged with many despicable acts.” I say.” This not the first time a report has come in. What can you say about that, Jeremy?” Volk adds.I almost chuckle. Jeremy Amarok was a 57-year-old man who selfishly stayed at the Alpha spot in the Blood moon pack. In normal circumstances, Volk may have regarded him with some respect, but due to the amount of looting and criminal acts he had been involved in over the years, almost no pack respected or regarded him.”I am not sure what you are talking about, Volk. We have lived by all of the rules and you have no reason to doubt us. Many are jealous of our network and would do and say whatever to soil our name.” Jeremy says.Watching him, he looks like a t
CHAPTER THREERUDINAI watch through watery eyes as the green-eyed man approaches us. I cannot mutter any words nor do I intend to. All my thoughts are clouded by the pain in my body and the weakness I feel. My hand was still resting on the man who came to save me as he had helped me get on my feet. As soon as those green eyes fall on me, I quickly pull my hands away. He didn't as much as linger, as his eyes were off me in the same instant. Something about him made me very uneasy and his gaze towards me was as cold as the first time.”What in the world is going on, Lowell?”The green-eyed man growls at my saviour. His voice sends shivers down my spine and I find myself trembling yet again.”This girl you decided to abandon is probably a victim of what brought us to the blood moon pack. You do not intend to leave her here now, do you?” Lowell demands.Fear grips me even harder because I am worried the green-eyed
CHAPTER FOURRUDINAI had spent the night awake and thinking of the one million possibilities the future held. I didn't know what the path ahead was going to be like if what all Lowell had said was true and if it wasn't, then I was going to go back to even much worse torment than I had previously faced. My unease had no solution and as I watched the birds that hymned their morning tone, I studied my environment and wondered if there was any chance I could run away.Like last time, I thought to myself, even if I did, where would I go to? This was the 21st century and life wasn't as archaic as the wolves made it seem. They loved to live in packs and shy away from society and I had not met any pack that was in constant relations with society so this place must be far from town.The blood moon pack paraded around Sunrise mountain. It was a famous mountain in New Jersey and from stories I had heard, it used to be a big attraction before Klaus and Jeremy
CHAPTER FIVEVOLKI decide to leave very early and refuse to think about the girl from last night, which only makes it harder. Whatever torture she was receiving here must have been more brutal than I could imagine but I still could not take her home. I could not fathom how I would live the rest of my life with a woman who could barely stand on her two feet and had no wolf. Her thoughts never leave me as I get into the car and seat in the passenger seat. I never let anyone drive me but I was in no mood to drive and I could not possibly focus on the road if I did."You are not driving?" Lowell asks in shock as he gets in the driver's seat.He had been keeping his distance from me since yesterday and whether or not I could understand why he was being so cold, I still could not bring myself to take her." Yes.” I say to him without lifting my head.He doesn't say another word as he gets in. I realize I cannot find Qareen
CHAPTER 6VOLKConri had not eased since we got home. He had asked to go see her so many times and I refused. I didn't want anyone seeing me with her. I didn't want anyone thinking I cared.”Until you accept her, Volk, I would go into hibernation.”I scoff at his words and continue to ignore him. I feel him go completely still and silent as if to make good of his threat but I know he is only trying to challenge me. He would have to get over his obsession with the girl and I figured, time would serve its purpose there. Mate or not, I could not have her as my Luna. Even as I thought about Conri, I knew I had a much bigger worry now. If Ashina called Mum and Dad, which I was sure she would, I would have a lot more to worry about. Dad would not take abandoning my mate lightly and he would make certain I paid for it.I start to pace in my study, wondering what to do. Ashina’s words are constantly torturing me. All that had happened with the girl before our meeting must be the reason for h
CHAPTER 7 RUDINAI wake up in a room filled with the scent of pancakes. I turn to see a woman by the bed forking some into her mouth. It dripped of honey and some of it was on the side of her lip. She licks it away with her tongue and closes her eyes to revel in the goodness.I watch the goddess carefully and wonder if such beauty had ever existed before her. Her skin was so smooth, I could have had all my meals off it. I watched from her feet to the tip of her head. She had the longest legs I had ever laid my eyes on and they ended in a very tiny waist. She wore skinny jeans and a crop top. Her breast stood firmly beneath her shirt. I moved to her face and noticed how not a single spot could be found. She opened her eyes and those same gorgeous green eyes stared at me.”You’re awake!” She beams.She gets off the couch and comes to seat beside me. She smells of vanilla and a hint of cinnamon. After passing
