Rock furrowed his brow, "she's sleeping." His voice was deep and hoarse and he was irritated by the intrusion. He was also annoyed as to why they should disturb Godiva. Wasn't she supposed to be resting if she was the birthday girl? Steel and Xena's eyes glinted like little children."You have to wake her. There's a party downstairs. The park members and all her sisters are waiting," Xena said and tried to force her way in but Rock blocked her with his hard toned and muscular body. Then he frowned,"What? What time is it?" He asked Steel."It's past midday," Steel revealed. Rock was slightly surprised. He never slept this much over the past few years after shifting. He was confused as to whether it was a result of his mate or his lost wolf. Regaining himself, he stared at his two siblings."Ohhh, we'll be downstairs soon.""Make it quick. We already waited long enough, thinking that something bad happened," Xena said impatiently before rushing down the stairs. Steel noticed a change in
Godiva was conflicted. When she didn't know Rock much, she couldn't trust him but now that she knew him well enough, she trusted him entirely but couldn't trust Theresa, especially when she had found her mate. Any she-wolf would do anything for her mate and so would Theresa. "Yes. Rock is my mate. Do you think he will lie? He isn't like that." Godiva tried to maintain eye contact since Theresa looked doubtful of her. "It's not about Alpha Rock. It's you. Your eye color," Theresa informed her. She was just worried that something was wrong with her sister. "What is wrong with my eye colour?" Godiva was stunned. she hadn't realized any change in her eye color because Rock didn't get the chance to explain it to her. She shivered slightly at the thought of what was wrong and why no one else had noticed it till now. Come to think of it, she was only seeing everyone at the party after completing the mating process last night. But at least Rock should have told her. "It should have been
The look on Rock's face showed that he wasn't happy but when he saw her shivering form, concern washed over him. "Are you alright?" He just wanted to forget all the challenges and spend this night with her, making it a memorable and unforgettable one."Did you see the girl?" Godiva was anxious. She never felt something like this before and it scared her to pieces."Which girl?" Rock looked around confused but didn't see anyone. He couldn't decipher what was happening to her."A teenage girl was here before." Godiva was shivering and Rock was worried. Who dared to ruin his well planned night. His countenance was slowly losing its warmth."No." Rock countered. Was she hallucinating? He was greatly disturbed. Perhaps, he should have told Xena to be with her through and through but who would have taken care of the guest?"There...there.....there was a teenage boy at the party before but he disappeared and I just saw a teenage girl. She also disappeared," Godiva stuttered. Rock froze sligh
After thinking silently for a while, Rock decided to tell her the truth. “They are not teenagers.” Godiva was shocked but it also made sense. How else could they scare her so much? But did it mean they just looked younger than they were? Also, this confirmed that Rock knew them so how did he? “Then what are they?” Godiva was afraid of why she was the target of these mysterious people but Rock was frigid about it. “It’s just one person but if I tell you who it is, you’ll never see them again.” He was sure to not use a pronoun to hint at the gender because that might give her a clue. Rock recalled that they used to appear to him when he first shifted. The day his mother explained to him who it was, he never saw them again and his wolf also cursed him with a speech impediment. Things were better left unsaid. The moon goddess was a very mysterious creature, appearing in very strange forms to deliver a message. “Rock, you are scaring me, ” Godiva trembled as she spoke. Rock hugged her
Steel was both excited and sad about the change of events, and was determined to help Rock to achieve success, since the pack training laid on his shoulders. However, there was just a little problem.“Wait,” he called out to Rock before the door shut. Rock turned around, quite impatiently.“Anything else?” He frowned and asked. Steel nodded and shook his head at the same time. He was a bit perplexed.“You have to pick and drop off Xena from school.” Rock paused thoughtfully. Indeed Steel was going to be busy so he had to take over the responsibility but Xena was talkative. With her and Godiva together, he wondered how he was going to have a little peace. Still, he didn't have a choice.“Ok.”He was about to shut the door but it seemed that Steel still had more to say, grabbing the door handle firmly. “And remember, if you keep talking a lot, pack members will begin asking questions.”Rock was unmoved. It wasn't as if he hadn't tried. Without his wolf, he couldn't hold back from sayin
When Godiva arrived at her old school, things were going well and she was almost done with the transfer procedures when she saw a freshman being bullied.She tried to control her anger but it wasn't working as she got closer. With the zeal to heed Rock’s warning, she tried to use a different route but being close to the dean’s office already, she gave up on the idea.Upon getting close to them, she realized that the two guys bullying the girl weren't humans, which meant that they were far stronger than the girl being bullied. If they were humans doing their thing, she could have tried to ignore them.“I said lick it with your tongue,” one of the guys snarled, referring to the spilled coffee on his shoes. The girl was shaking from fear and brought out a handkerchief.“I….I.. sorry, I'll get it cleaned.” She lowered herself to clean his stained shoe but before the handkerchief touched it, he used his foot to kick her hard on the face, she tumbled and fell, the cup of coffee in her hand
Rock finally understood his reason for feeling strange. It seemed that Rieka was part of his family. Rieka was rather lost. She couldn’t understand a thing going on. Godiva and Xena were just stunned.Afraid of the way Steel looked at her, Rieka felt uncomfortable. It was obvious that the word mate sounded weird to her and she couldn’t find the courage to ask due to Steel’s gaze, which was so burning, she thought that she did something wrong. With her voice as soft as a feather and her countenance as squirming as a mouse, she said,“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you.”Rock glared at Steel and he sat down. It was either Rieka hadn’t shifted or she wasn’t a werewolf. Steel tried to control himself but his wolf, Bardulf was just indignant. Steel had stopped searching for his mate since there was no sign of her but here she was, walking right into his abode but she was also pitiful.“It’s no bother. He is my brother,” Rock said to Rieka, trying to calm her. Now, he was more experience
At the Mystic Shadow PackThe two brothers got home frightened, especially the one who faced Godiva’s wrath. They went straight to their room and headed to bed, as if the Alpha of Alphas would change his mind concerning the girl they abused. It was rare to be pardoned by Rock for something so terrible, especially when he took the abused girl with him. What if she told him everything and he came back after realizing that they didn’t deserve his forgiveness?The two brothers slept in the same bed for the first time in their lives without knowing. They were close but never liked to share personal stuff. They had a rule against that from childhood, thereby staying in separate rooms and giving each other privacy. They were only inseparable at school.Unfortunately, the door to the room pushed open and their mother, who was the Jax’s beta stood at the doorway. Her voice was calm but stern and her pretty face grim.“Will you tell me what is going on?” she asked them. In this pack, the beta on
