Novel's POV

I couldn’t sleep because my mind kept wandering back to what happened at the lake. I could still feel his lips on me; his touch still lingered on my body, and my body needed more. But first, I needed to go down those stairs to the dining room. I didn’t think I could do it. How would I face him?

“Hmmm.” I took a deep breath, as to whether I anticipated going down or not.

“Hi,” I practiced. Or maybe I should just lie and say I had caught a fever? But I immediately remembered that loo

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Snow white wolf with blue eyes

    Novel’s POVI was happy riding with Alexei. I couldn't stand the thought of being trapped in that carriage; I needed the fresh air. But suddenly, my spine snapped straight. I felt eyes on me, heavy and predatory. I scanned the trees, but saw nothing. I looked at Alexei, but he seemed oblivious to the sensation. I gripped the horse’s mane firmly, the small smile sliding off my face.We had been moving for a long time. Eventually, the heat of the sun became so oppressive that I had to retreat back into the carriage while the men looked for a clear field to set up camp.Emilia was already inside. We hadn't spoken since the incident yesterday.“Hi,” she said softly. I could hear the thick weight of guilt in her voice, though I didn't know what she had to be guilty for.“Hey,” I replied.We sat in a heavy silence. For the first time in a while, I didn't hear her thoughts. The rhythmic swaying of the carriage was so relaxing that, before I knew it, I drifted into a deep sleep.********

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Blue Eyes

    Alexei’s POVI could feel her shaking on the bed beside me. I turned to look at her, and my heart leapt into my throat. She was bleeding.She wasn't awake yet. I tried shaking her, but she didn’t budge. My hands trembled as I tried to wipe the blood off her eyes and nose, but the more I wiped, the more it seeped out. Her face was deathly pale. After what felt like an eternity of fear, she suddenly jolted awake. Her eyes were wide and confused, and she began murmuring words I couldn't comprehend.I pulled her close to calm her down, promising to take her anywhere she wanted once this was over. Finally, her eyes drifted shut again. I sighed in relief, my own breath coming in ragged gasps. After changing my clothes, I stepped out of the tent. It was almost morning; the clouds still held the bruised, dark shades of the night.Turning, I spotted two figures by the side of a neighboring tent, one petite, the other large. I walked toward them, every muscle alert in case of an intruder. A

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Dark Dreams

    Novel's POV Alexei rushed to assist me down from the carriage. I offered him a small smile before he hurried off to help the others pitch the tents. Since I didn't know the first thing about securing canvas or tying knots, I simply stood there, feeling useless. I watched the flurry of activity until Emilia left my side to join the effort, leaving me alone in the deepening shadows of the trees.The forest was breathtaking, but as I took in the ancient beauty of the pines, a strange chill prickled my skin.“Novel...”The sound was barely a breath, a haunting whisper carried on the wind that seemed to speak directly to my soul. I turned, searching for the source, and my voice failed me. My vision blurred, and the world tilted.When my senses finally snapped back, the transition was violent. I wasn't in the clearing anymore. I was waist-deep in a freezing river, the current tugging at my skirts like icy hands. Emilia was there, her grip firm on my arm as she dragged me toward the bank.

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    The Journey

    Alexei’s POVAfter seeing Novel’s condition worsen, I knew I hadn't made a mistake by insisting we begin the journey today. Every moment we lingered was a moment her life slipped further away.I didn't join her inside the carriage. Instead, I stayed mounted on my horse, keeping a watchful eye on the perimeter. I made sure she wasn't lonely, though; I sent Emilia to ride with her. As I gripped the reins, I made a mental note to ask her what she had seen or heard that caused her eyes to bleed. The memory of that crimson trail on her cheek burned in my mind like a brand.This journey was going to be grueling, but I had to find her: the Eldest Woman of the Crystal Moon Pack.We were just passing the borders of our territory and heading into the dense treeline. The sun was still high, casting golden light through the leaves, a small mercy, as it meant we wouldn't have to deal with intruders just yet.Our path had three primary stops before we reached the Crystal Moon Pack. First, the Wolf

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    The Journey to The Crystal Moon Pack

    Novel's POVI woke up sweating profusely. A sharp, hot spike of pain flared where the arrow had hit me, making me gasp. I leaned over the side of the bed and coughed; a splash of bright red blood hit the floor.“Novel!” Alexei’s voice cracked with panic.I couldn't hear him clearly. I was still stuck in the dream, my heart hammering against my ribs. I wasn't sure if I was awake or still drifting. Usually, the moment the arrow pierced me, I’d wake up. But this time was different. I felt the cold heaviness of death, but then I saw her. For the first time, her eyes stayed clear,deep brown almond eyes exactly like mine. Before I could see the rest of her face, my own eyes snapped open.Alexei was hovering over me, his hands shaking, and I could feel the wetness of blood on my skin.“I saw her eyes,” I said, my voice trembling.“It's okay,” Alexei tried to comfort me, but my skin was crawling with fear.The sun was just starting to peek through. We were heading to the Crystal Moon Pack t

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    The Crystal Moon Pack

    Alexei POV Novel had been acting strange lately. She wouldn't leave her room, she refused to go to school, and though I tried talking to her, she wouldn't open up. Every time she tried to step out of the room, her nose would begin to bleed. I couldn't understand it; I couldn't think of a single reason why the very air outside her door seemed to hurt her.Today, I’d finally had enough of the quiet tension. I stepped into her room, facing her.“Talk,” I said. She looked nervous, her skin pale and waxy.“I can hear them,” she said, her lips trembling.“Hear what, Novel?”“Their thoughts. I see through their lies, and when it happens, I bleed. The voices aren't mine, but I can't help but hear them.”“And since when has this been going on?” I asked, kneeling before her. “Let me guess… since the day you woke up with the nosebleed?”She nodded. Her deep brown, almond-shaped eyes were puffy, underlined by dark, heavy bags from lack of rest.“I can't sleep. I keep seeing him in my dreams.”M
