Because he killed my mother. The voice of Reed rings in my head. I was laying down on my bed. Alpha Andrew was a kind man as far as I know. He was the descendent of the king Lycaon. All respected him. nobody could kill him; he was treated as royalty.
Then why would he kill Reed’s mother. Who was Reed? He was surely not some normal wolf. He has a dangerous aura, also no one but an alpha could take over the other alpha.
Ughhh… too many questions. Suddenly my eyes drifted to the jeans hanging on the door knob of my wardrobe. I quickly checked its pocket and found the talisman Diana had given me.
Put your hands on this talisman and say ‘Anochi porta’. You will get everything you will get your answers about Reed.
I take several deep breathes. Diana told me that magic comes with a cost. I took the knife from the cupboard and slice my palm lightly such that some blood dropped on the talisman. I clutched the talisma
The next day, I woke early in the morning. I have already ordered my best warriors to gather in the battlefield to train. I was at the ground, August was the first one. from the first day since he became my beta, he's always first to come, in the meetings, in battlefields, everywhere. He is pushing himself too much but in this situation everyone were. Our ex-beta beta john was also present along with the rest of my pack. my pack had already suffered much more than it deserved and after becoming their alpha I couldn't let that happen again. Suddenly, out of no-where a portal from the tree opened and a black-brown wolf emerged from the tree, it looked directly at me but didn't move and within one-minute, hundreds of wolves were standing opposite to us, none of them moved. The feeling was itself like dejavu. I narrowed my eyes at the brown wolf. "Shift Asher." I commanded in my alpha voice and threw clothes at him; the wolf took the clothes behind the tree and s
The sun was peeking through the window. I rubbed my face, the cushion was wet because of my tears. I couldn't sleep for a second last night. Whenever I closed my eyes, Selene's pleading face popped in my head. Her face crying, pleading on her knees before Alpha Andrew. This was all messed up. I wanted to know about Reed's past but at what cost. It was a lot more than that, I cannot bear it. I have not signed for it. I checked the time; the clock shows ten in the morning. Surprisingly, nobody called me today for the training. Not even August. I opened the door only to face the cause of my pain, the center of all my undesirable problems, my mate. He was sleeping before my door leaning against the wall, he looked so calm and adorable, for a moment, I wish he sleeps more. As if hearing my footsteps, he opened his eyes and look directly at me. I tried to ignore him by walking fast towards the bathroom. After last night I know he had questions I don't
I look at the clock hung on the wall patiently and go outside. I decided not to think about the letter and proceeded to do my daily chores. I ignored Reed as much as possible and tried to make a considerable distance between us.Somehow, he was hell bent to be near me. Many times, I caught him looking at my direction and soon turned his gaze away from me. Whenever I looked at his face, I remembered the pleading eyes of Selene.I didn’t mention about the letter to anyone. Not even Reed and August. Today was the last day, all of us were on high alert. Reed had called the meeting to mention something very important related to the witches. I went to the meeting unwillingly; I don’t want to admit it but we need Reed. He was the only one who has seen how the witches works.“All of you know that tomorrow is the blood moon, which means half of our pack would already be weakened.” He said looking directly at me. Immediately I looked away.&
Saying today was the longest day of my life wouldn’t be wrong. The clock was ticking so slowly, like someone had freezes the time. There was no sign of the Oracle, witches or any suspicious thing. It all feel like so normal. I have not slept the whole night, thinking each and every scenario, playing every outcome of our tonight meeting. The talisman had already stopped working which only added fuel in the fire. I haven’t talked about it to anybody. Not even Diana. Today was the blood moon and all of us were getting anxious. Nobody showed it on face but I could feel it through the link. I could feel my powers weakened, but surprisingly it was much less comparing the other she wolves of our pack. “Okay packs, line up.” I commanded in the alpha voice. As if in queue all the warriors assembled in the three rows. One with the betas and omegas of our packs, one constitutes the she-wolves and the other comprises of trainees. August walked beside me and stood
“How?” I asked my voice low. She looked past me, and her eyes glazed over.“I want to help you Esma.” She repeated her words pressing on the word help. I stared at her eyes for one long minute before shaking my head. She holds my hand and lifted it up to examine it.“See, so many scars, healed but fresh. You were using the talisman, but it isn’t of your help anymore. You needed answers.” She said straight to the point. How did she know about the talisman?“You wanted to know about Reed’s past? I can help you.” She said seriously as if she wanted me to believe her, her eyes looked pleading and maybe some concern. I scoff.“Oh yeah, like Reed did. You wanted to make me your puppet?” I asked mockingly.Her eyes widened I don’t know if in shock or something else but soon she recovered.“I didn’t asked Reed to take my help. He came willingly. He was the one who was hell bent to kill your alpha. He wanted revenge. I was just a medium. It was my mistake I trust him. It was a part of the deal.
I gulped soundly. He turned towards me painfully slowly. He glared at me like a hawk.I look like deer caught in a spotlight. Nowhere to escape I remained at my spot. His breathing was rugged and there was a turmoil of emotions in his eyes. Hurt, pain, regret but the one which was most prominent was the anger.Fuck.He was furious on me for not telling him about the letters. As if reading my thoughts, he clutched the paper in his hand harder.“What is this?” he grumbled, his voice on edge. He was in no mood to mess with.“Ummm… a letter.” I said innocently.He closed his eyes and rubbed them in exaggeration. I was shrinking by every minute. He was leaking a very dangerous aura. When he opened them, they were the most intense blue shade I have ever seen. He smirked and took a large step towards me eating most of the distance.I stepped back in reflex, he looked so carnal. So dangerous and I shudder
The wings flutters to and fro in the dark, sprinkling dusty scales in the circles of light. I am struggling to resist, but I am equally tempted to reach the light. I am drawn to it. and then, it’s so bright and I am flying too close to the sun, dazzled by the light, melting from the heat, it’s warmth, weary in my endeavour to stay airborne. I am so warm, the heat… it’s so stifling, overpowering, it wakes me. I opened my eyes feeling hot and bothered. I fluttered my eyes and soon come into my senses. I am draped in Reed Xander. He’s wrapped around me like a victory flag. He is fast asleep with his head on my chest and his arm over me, holding me close, one of his leg is thrown over and hooked around both of mine. He was suffocating me with his heat, and he is heavy. I took the moment to absorb that he is still in my bed and fast asleep. Tentatively I lifted my left hand and touched his back with my fingertips. Deep in his sleep, I hea
Neither Read nor August break the eye-contact. I could see how August holds Diana in his arms. His wolf was on the surface. His eyes shows possessiveness and sincerity. It was only nine in the morning and I don’t know how many surprises are packed for the day. Diana looked shyly towards me for her rescue. I smiled and winked at her. Her cheeks reddened more if possible. After god knows for how long Reed finally shakes his head and said something incoherently. Something about moon goddess and sprinted in his room leaving all of us surprised. August didn’t break his sight until Reed closed the door behind him. “You stupid idiot, you are choking her.” I slapped him on his arm to get his attention. August looked at me and then at Diana and for a moment his eyes softened. As if he didn’t believe how come he get something so precious. He looked adorably at her as if already fallen for her. Diana blushed crimson red under his intense gaze. He pulled h
