I know Athena wouldn’t let any opportunity of her taking over slide but I know her well enough to know that I have to keep her under control for she was a violent creature.
‘You do know that I can read your thoughts right?’ She spat venomously at me before lying in her favorite spot like nothing happened. I chuckled at her childishness, before bracing myself for the fight that was about to come. ‘Oh! Look who we have here.’ Raymond said. He was the one who saw me first. I continued walking towards the gate with the hope that they let me go, fingers crossed. I froze when I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder. ‘And where do you think you are going to bitch?’ He asked. I distanced myself from him before looking him in the eye, ‘to my room.’ I answered simply. They all laughed trapping me in the middle. ‘Hey guys, why don’t we have some fun before our shift is over.’ I looked at Raymond in disgust, how dear he belittles me like this! I remembered clearly that he and his parent took shelter in our pack seven years ago. They were rogues that got rejected by their pack when they were accused of murdering one of the pack members. I remembered clearly how he had begged Father to take him in and give him shelter and protection from the outside world. Is this how he repays the seven years of protection my pack offered him? I will just have to show him what this bitch can do! ‘Grab her!’ He ordered them. I moved right grabbing the hand that had reached out to touch me. I twisted it making him scream in agony, next, I punched the one in front of me in the face and then kicked him in the abdomen. Another lunged at me, but before he could land a punch I kicked him with full force sending him flying several meters away. 'How dare you do this to us?’ One of them pointed his hand accusingly at me after I beat all of them up. 'Don't you want to have fun? I just entertained you.’ I smirked before turning around to leave when the pain of their mating started again. I screamed in agony as the pain made my blood boil. It was like I was set on fire from the inside and nothing in the world could put out the fire. I fell to my knees as the pain became unbearable for me. I watched with a pained expression as Raymond walked towards me with a smirk on his face and a dagger in his hand. It was obvious what he was about to do, so when he raised the dagger in the air I took the chance to kick the dagger out of his hand which seemed to be a bad idea for my wound reopened as I stretched. I lost balance and fell flat on the ground with a painful thud. A hand pulled at my hair, dragging me up. ‘You think you are smart huh?’ Raymond asked stabbing me with the dagger. ‘You must really be blessed by the moon goddess to still be alive even after all the torture of the past two years. Let’s see how you survive this time.’ He said forcing several pills of wolf bane down my throat. I fell flat on the ground feeling numb. Everything became oddly quiet even though I could clearly see them moving their lips and laughing at me. I was confused, shouldn’t I feel the burning sensation of the wolfsbane in my system? All I felt was quietness and peacefulness. Blurry images loom over me, I reached out to touch, to feel, as everything and everyone around me looked so far away but my hand was slashed with a dagger, surprisingly it didn’t hurt one bit. Yet I knew I had been cut because I felt liquid trailing down my arm. I stared at it confused, I'm bleeding yet I felt no pain, it was as if I was staring at someone else's hand. Was this what it felt like to die? It felt so peaceful that I would prefer it to all the torture, and no I didn't give up on life. I just wanted a little peace and quietness away from the pain and suffering. I smiled, my only regret was that I didn’t avenge my parent's death. ‘I’m sorry Rose, I couldn’t protect you.’ Athena apologized before I passed out ... A cold sensation was the first thing I felt when I regained consciousness. How am I still alive? I looked around sitting up and crossing my legs. I was behind bars? I squinted my eyes feeling confused. 'Why am I in the dungeon?' I asked before it clicked. They locked me up! Those bastards locked me up! I tried standing on my feet but the chains restrained me. I strained my ear trying to listen for any sound but there was none so I lay down again allowing my thoughts to consume me. What should I do? Was Derrick right? Should I just leave the pack? After all, I was no longer wanted by the pack members. They already accepted Julian as their Alpha and Hailey as their Luna. My mate too was less interested in me and seemed to be bewitched by another she-wolf. My pack members too are less interested in their once beloved Alpha princess Myla-Rose Halls. No! I can’t leave, not when the pack was in the hands of an incompetent weak Alpha. Thinking about it, the DNA results in his room weren’t just a coincidence. My father had never shown any dissatisfaction with me even after Mum left. I’m their daughter for sure. So how come the DNA says otherwise? Was it even my dad that took the DNA test or was it forged by someone that wanted the pack for himself? It couldn’t be Julian, one thing I know from staying around him for so long was that he was stupid. He always acted rashly. The person behind this was very smart and strong to have murdered my parent. And still, successfully make someone else the Alpha of the pack. But who was it? Who hated my parent so much that he wanted them dead? One thing I knew for sure was that Julian was just a pound in this game.MYLA POV‘I asked you to dress pretty…’ Brian holds a chair for me, ‘This aren’t pretty.’ I gave him a smug smile, ‘Well I tried my best to look pretty, I’m sorry I’m not up to your standard, Mr. Browns.’ ‘Don’t flatter yourself, Miss Halls.’ He smirked at me leaning forward. He rested his head on his knuckles and gave me that stare, the one that asked, “What’s wrong with you?”I straightened up, Brian knows me a little too much to tell when something was wrong with me, and for some reason, I hated lying to Brian but that didn’t mean that I told him about Asher, for he never asked yet I knew that if he did I was going to have to spit it all out or else this conversation was never going to be over. ‘You’re hiding something from me.’ He says, his gaze still fixed on me. ‘Is it the Alpha of Moonlight pack? Is he giving you any troubles?’ He asks.I gasped. How did he know? How on earth was that even possible? I never mention anything about Asher to him.How did he know that Asher was
‘You are going to love this, meet me at our usual spot, I’ve got information about the dark forest pack, also wear something pretty, you’re staying over at my place tonight, we’ve got a job tonight.’ Brian said all in one breath before hanging the call.I felt a surge of emotions rush through me, Brian has information about the blue moon pack, and a job for me tonight! That was good news, I can’t wait to meet with him, maybe I’ll finally be able to find who murdered my parents. I turned to find an angry Asher fuming, and within a second, my back hit the wall with his hand around my neck cutting out my airflow, my shirt and shorts gone.I swallowed hard, watching as his brow arched at me and he tipped his head to the side in a “where the hell do you think you’re going?”- kind of way.‘Asher?’ I called softly but firm enough for him to know I mean business. ‘Get out of my way.’ ‘Not until you give me a fucking explanation to all the shits that’s going on right now.’ He stepped forwar
‘Good morning.’ I greeted grabbing my coffee from the counter and leaning against it watching him as he cracked the egg into the frying pan. ‘Morning beautiful.’ He smirked, his eyes scanning the length of me. There it is again that glint that always passes through his eyes anytime he stares at me. Those glints that always make me weak in the knee, that glint that makes me feel wet in the forbidden area. I smiled at him as he handed me my plate filled with bacon, omelet, and salad, I swear he's the best cook I've ever seen, he does wonders with little to no ingredients. I swallowed as I watched his muscles flex under his t-shirt. ‘Are you done checking me out or do you need me to strip naked for you?’ He tilt his head to the side, his signature smirk plastered on his face with an arched brow. His cheeky comment made my face heat up. I diverted my attention away from his face and back to my breakfast. I knew he had that annoying smirk on his face and all I felt like was to sla
After a few more moments of playing in my wolf form, she walked out of the lagoon, I’m not sure but I don’t think she realized the state she was in or the effect she has on me. I mean she was naked in front of me yet she didn’t seem to bother. Or did she think that Liam wouldn’t let me see her?If not for the fact I’m in my wolf form I would have grabbed her and done unimaginable things to her. She wore her bathrobe then turned and gestured for Liam to follow her. He was quite happy and content with this. He bowed before her, telling her that he wanted her to ride him.The shocked expression on her face was priceless, an Alpha just bowed before her. At that moment all I wanted to tell her was that I’ve never bowed down to anyone and I’ll never bow for anyone other than her for she’s my mate and my equal and that I loved her dearly, much more than she can ever imagine. Yet I knew saying that now would be me being selfish for she didn’t know that I was her mate yet and she didn’
ASHER’S POVI kissed her! I fucking kissed her! The moment I smelt her arousal perfuming the room I lost control of my sanity. I pulled her out of her chair from across the table and slammed her on the kitchen counter with me standing between her parted legs.I slammed my lips on hers and devoured them without remorse. She refused to grant me entrance inside her mouth so I squeezed her thigh and I smirked when she moaned loudly. With that, I slide my tongue into her mouth tasting every corner of it. She didn’t respond to the kiss after a while and that’s when I knew that I ruined it. Maybe I even destroyed my chance of having her with my reckless actions.Yet I didn’t feel remorseful at my actions not even when she pushed me away. I still want her and her arousal perfuming the room only made matters worse.I cringed when I spotted a hard-on before adjusting my pants to hide it. How could a simple kiss affect me like this?‘That’s because it wasn’t a simp
I gently placed Myla on the bed trying as hard as I could not to wake her up but to my disappointment her eyelashes flustered open and she stared at me with those gorgeous honey eyes.Our face was just a few inches away and I could feel her hot breath fanning my lips.My heart was racing a billion miles per second as it thudded loudly inside my ribcage. My treacherous eyes roamed her face before I glanced at her succulent cherry-red lips and I subconsciously bit my lips just thinking about what it would taste like.This would be the perfect moment to kiss her right? I asked myself as I looked her in the eye.Even her eyes were fucking seductive as they stared at me. I took in a sharp breath closing my eyes and inching towards her.‘Thank you, Asher.’ She whispered against my approaching lips.Wait! What? I pulled back staring at her confused, why was she thanking me?As far as I knew I haven’t done her any favor. ‘Why are you thanking me?’ I asked stroking her hair.‘Thank you for
‘I’ve already mind-linked Alex, he’ll be here in ten minutes. All you have to do is stay put. He’ll take you and you’re mate back to the pack. I already told him to lock the rogue up until I decide what to do with him. And as for you, you’ll be punished for breaking the pack rule.’ He grabbed my hand to stop me.My head whipped in his direction. He took care of everything! Does that mean he chose to come back with me? My heart swelled with different emotions. I smiled happily at him. Apart from my parent, he was the only person who had ever chosen me over others.I glanced at Imogen, the light in her eyes had dimmed and had turned into hatred and jealousy as she stared daggers at me.‘Let’s go home Myla.’ Asher says pulling me closer. Wait seriously? He wasn’t going to stay with her until Alex arrived? ‘I can sense them already Rose, they’ll be here any minute from now, and you don’t have to worry about her.’ He assured me. I nodded my head at him in understanding. ‘Just keep w
The omega jumped to her feet in an instant darting toward Asher and hiding behind him, rubbing her half-naked body against his back and Asher didn't even flinch.WHAT THE...?And then I watched...For some reason seeing her using him as a shield made my chest tighten, I don’t know what I was feeling inside but all I knew was that I didn’t like him having other she-wolves hands all over him.I was so consumed with my thoughts of how to murder him for letting her touch him that I didn’t realize that a fight had already broken out.How it started was a mystery to me yet I couldn't care less because Asher was having the upper hand.‘Alpha please save me!’ The omega yelled.I followed the sound of her cries, my eyes scanning the darkness until I saw her, struggling against a rogue wolf who had her pinned to the ground. Rage burned through me as I watched him tearing at her clothes, a look of predatory hunger in his eyes. My gaze shifted back to Asher, he's busy fighting six rogues alone
ASHER POVShe smiled at me, ‘You’ve begun to notice my behavior.’ She said matter-of-factly like she just realized that I was a bad child but didn’t want to scold me yet. ‘I’m just good at observing people.’ I told her quickly so as not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere. 'I've really let my guard down.' She murmured. I'm sure she didn't mean to say that out loud so I pretended I didn't hear her either.'I'm just really good.' I tried to convince her. She hummed softly picking up a twig and snapping it in two with her fingers. I sigh, what did I do wrong? She's not even looking at me like she did before and her smile seems to have faded. Well, I’m not about to give up just because of her mood swings. I thought squeezing her hand. ‘Why can’t I leave this place?’ I asked.She paused, staring at me with a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. ‘When you collapsed a few days ago I tried to get you out of here so that a doctor could attend to you but I couldn’t. I became s
