Rune had a Luna awakening☺️☺️
Kane.“How dare you disrespect me? I am your Alpha,” I ground the words out between my teeth, fingers tightening around her neck, but she didn’t move. Her brown eyes were full of life, pain and strength I’d never noticed before. She didn’t back away or beg for me to stop. “Keep going, and you’ll really kill her!” Ky yelled out in anger. I paused, surprised at his outburst. Ky was more bloodthirsty and violent; he’d never back away from a fight or blatant show of disrespect, which was what our mate just displayed. “Kane! Let her go!” He growled when I didn’t stop. Her eyes turned glassy, and I felt her pulse slow down under my grip. I could tell she was almost out of breath, but fuck it if the smouldering fire in her eyes did not arouse me. Her nearness tingled my senses, and the need to lay her flat on her back and fuck that anger and disrespect out of her threatened my entire being. I knew the effect of her scent on me, but it intensified, driving me insane. I had my fingers aroun
Rune.The whole pack had been buzzing with excitement over the Elect Ritual coming up in three days. It had been all everyone could talk about. Well, I wouldn’t particularly know about everyone in the pack since I still wasn’t allowed to step out of the pack house, but it was all everyone in the pack house could talk about, from the Omegas to guards, to warriors to officials who poured in and out of the house for various meetings and what not. When the officials came, I was subjected to the confines of my cozy room, staying in it until they all left, courtesy of Alpha Kane, of course. He kept me hidden from view, and according to Soph, it was for my good, for my safety. I understood a little why she said it was for my safety, but it didn’t stop the pinch of disappointment I felt at her defending him. I told myself that it was only normal for Soph to defend Alpha Kane because she was the Beta female of the pack, and while there was no Luna, she answered directly to the Alpha, but a sma
Rune.“Confirmed by who? Who said I was dead?” Rachael took a step back. No, several steps back with Jummy right beside her, exchanging panicked glances. “It was all the pack could talk about for days,” she rushed the words. “No names were mentioned,”“I’m not dumb, Rune. I am capable of putting two and two together. You were the only out-of-place wolf in the pack house,” she folded her arms and smirked.“And from the way people spoke about it, everyone could tell it wasn’t an omega that died. You had no reason to be there, so it was easy to think Alpha Kane got bored of you and decided to end your miserable life,” she scoffed and flattened out the nonexistent creases on her white sundress that exposed way more than her long creamy legs. She took a step forward.“Now that you’re here, let me ask you,” she took another step forward, her dark eyes digging holes into my skin. “What the hell are you still doing in the pack house?” One more step and she’d be in my face. I took a step b
Rune.Sneaking out of the pack house was way easier than Soph and I expected it would be considering we made preparations for the excuses we’d make if we were caught and various other things, but in the end, we left the house through the front door, without even the tiniest bit of resistance from the guard wolves standing around. Alpha Kane was not home and not even Soph, whose mate left with him, knew where he went, and she didn’t seem to care. All she wanted to do was “get drunk and pass out till the next morning,” her words not mine, and it seemed to be our slogan for the night. I had an inkling that one of the reasons Soph agreed to come with me was because she thought I was heartbroken and needed some release from alcohol, which was funny. After all, that was something we knew only humans did. Wolves didn’t drink alcohol to mend a broken heart, as violent creatures, they went to hunt for large animals they wouldn’t hunt for on a normal day to expel the hurt. I guess that was why
Rune.“GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF HER!” I’d heard that line before, and the moment it was uttered, it changed my life… for the worse. I couldn’t stop the burst of laughter at the irony. The arms around me tightened even harder and even though I couldn’t breathe well, it felt nice to be held like this. I looked up at the person holding me and saw deep black eyes and red hair. I blinked. I didn’t notice the lanky wolf had such an attractive face. Another giggle broke out of me. He smelled like mint on a cold night. I liked it.It must’ve been the alcohol in my system that made me reach out for his face and trace the line of his jaw. Red Hair’s eyes softened, and a little smile tugged at his strawberry-coloured lips. “Woah,“Fucking hell!” I heard another angry outburst before I pulled away from Red Hair and into the familiar musky scent. Angry green eyes stared down at me with tendrils of his black hair covering some of it. Another wolf and an even more attractive face. I smiled. “W
Kane.“MINE”Her possessive declaration filled my mind, replaying over and over like a broken record. I paced back and forth in my room letting the memory of her teeth in my skin take over. “I told you to call it off countless times but you wouldn’t listen to me. Maybe you’ll listen to our mate,” Ky’s mocking voice interrupted hers for a split second. “I can’t call it off just because she asked me to. There are more than a thousand things wrong with her. She can’t hunt, she doesn’t have one combat bone in her tiny body,” “I can tell you what she has though. She has a Luna bone!”“Ky!”“What? You heard her declaration!” My pulse quickened with forbidden longing. An animalistic hunger had coursed through me the moment she sank her teeth into my neck. I hated how helpless she rendered me at that moment with nothing but her hot breath fanning my neck. I would’ve offered her my heart on a platter if she asked for it, and the realization of how true that was forced me into staying the f
Rune.I thought I would feel a disconnect in my body when I stepped out of pack territory, but it felt the same way it felt yesterday when Soph and I snuck out for alcohol. There was nothing special about it. I hadn’t even realized we’d stepped out yet. I had to check to be sure we were out, and when it was confirmed, Kimi and I unconsciously let out breaths of relief.Our eyes met, and we chuckled. We hadn’t said a word to each other since we met at the pack house because I knew wolves. There was nothing that got past one wolf’s listening ear. Any talks about our movements would’ve been heard, and we would get caught and most likely be punished for trying to leave on the most important night the pack has had in decades. “We’ve overcome the hardest part,” I smiled down at Kimi, who nodded eagerly and looked up. “I feel the goddess is pissed at us for leaving tonight,” Kimi whispered and pointed to the sky. I looked up. Since I was born, I have witnessed all kinds of things that wer
Rune.I could not answer Alpha Kane’s question, and he didn’t seem like he cared for my answer anyway as he swooped me into his arms, slightly pressing my head against his chest. I was still shell-shocked from what had just happened and how I almost lost my life for the third time in less than a month. I let my body relax into the relief that flowed out of his body into mine—basking in the sweet, soft fabric of his coat that added to my comfort, although it smelled like him mixed with blood. The blood of the wolf he’d just killed.From the way his wicked eyes hardened when he looked at me a little over a minute ago, I knew he had a lot of things to say to me concerning my behaviour. I had disrespected his command to not leave the pack, and worse, I ended up in danger. But he showed up, once more like he’d been doing since our fates intertwined together on that one sunny morning. Zarah purred with a satisfied smile sitting on her face and dreamy eyes.Zarah’s behavior clicked a tiny f
