SalemI ran into the room he had given me. I didn't care to lock the door. I went to the end of the bed lowering myself to the carpet, in tears.I can never be your mate, the painful words of Alpha Deucalion kept repeating in my head.My head lowered to the palms of my hand. When I thought there could be us, Alpha Deucalion didn't want it to be. He was still grieving over what he had allowed to happen to me. But I had forgiven him, why can't he forget it, I thought.The morning had ended and it was the afternoon. I stood at my window looking into the forest eagerly for him to return. I needed to talk to him."Ms. Salem," I heard the maid at the door.I immediately wiped away my tears and turned to her. In her hand, she had a tray of food."I brought you your lunch," she told me."Please put it on the bed side table," I informed her bringing myself back to the window.I wasn't hungry. I had lost my appetite. I didn't want to disappoint her after she had taken many hours to prepare it f
Salem"That's us, our future," I spoke to him.He steadily took his time inside the room and then paused before the portal."It will be us if you give us a chance," I again spoke to him.Alpha Deucalion looked at me and I smiled. I was later surprised at what he did, he stretched out one of his hands towards me to hold, and I gently held it. As I did he pulled me up close to him. I hold his hand tightly not wanting to let him go. He then wrapped one of his hands around me."See we can be happy together, no matter how the past between us as been."His head turned from the portal and he looked me in the eyes as if he could see my soul."Our pups will make us happy," I told him."No, you will make me the happiest wolf and oneday a proud father," he touched my chin.My body shivered at his touch.My heart pounded heavily in my chest as I saw his head lowered for a kiss. My lips quiver by the hot breath from his nostril and my eyes closed preparing for his kiss.When his warm and soft lips
SalemI was so nervous that tomorrow evening I will be standing before Alpha Deucalion's entire pack. Alpha Deucalion saw I was and ensured me that there was nothing to worry about and that he will be next to me. The last words I find great comfort in knowing he'll be by my side. Once I had him next to me, I had nothing to worry about. Alpha Deucalion felt like my strength and my confidence, everything I feel I'm lacking he made me feel like I wasn't. I was glad I was going to be okay with him.I sat down in my room while Alpha Deucalion went out for a while."Miss Salem, Jane is here to meet you," I heard the maid.I was so surprised by her words that I stood up right away. Soon I saw Jane entering my room. I couldn't believe it was her.The maid went away."Jane," I said. I thought she wanted nothing to do with me.Jane ran to me in tears and wrapped her arms around me, we cried."I felt so bad that I left you alone," she said."It's okay, I'm fine," I told her. "Alpha Deucalion is
SalemThe night we didn't sleep, after we made love, we just lay there gazing into each other eyes. I didn't want to stop gazing into his eyes, for I was so happy, the happiest I'd ever been, nor too did he. I thought I was once happy and safe dwelling with Madison but I wasn't, I was wrong, for what I was feeling now was true happiness. Living with Madison I sometimes had doubts about staying with her but with Alpha Deucalion, I had none. I was just filled with pure excitement knowing every day will be a joy for us.I cannot believe the one I thought was unsafe and dangerous to be around was the safest person to be around now, my alpha mate, Alpha Deucalion. One of my hands reached out to him, gently running it across his face. Alpha Deucalion held my hand within his and bring it to his lips. I watched him as he passionately kissed the palm of my hands."I love you," I told him.His eyes slowly raised from my hands and he pulled me closer to him, allowing our lips to almost touch."I
Salem I long to see the outside world and to be around wolves that are my age. Eighteen. It can be tiresome sometimes to dwell on a life in hiding and talk to the only wolf I knew, my grandmother. I yearn for something new to happen in my life. I was born into a pack called the River Pack. All members had supernatural abilities to prevent bodies of water from dying. They could locate any source of water through a spiritual feeling that guided them. My mother, the Luna, had far more powers. She could heal a sick or dying person with just a droplet of water. She knew when it was going to rain, and when she cried, the sky did too. The river pack felt loved because of their powerful abilities, which seemed godlike. All packs referred to them as descendants of the moon goddess. But one pack didn't: the Grey Pack. They saw us as a threat and believed we were manipulating the others to become the rulers of all packs. They attacked the River Pack the day I was born, killing them all. My gra
Salem Crying too much had consequences because my tears were linked to the rain. It could cause a flood and a lot more damage. I had to close my eyes to stop myself from crying, and soon the heavy rain showering outside settled down. The next day, I decided to leave the tree. I was starving after missing out on meals for a week. The ground was so mellowed by the rain that my paws sank into it with each step I took. And raindrops fell from the leaves of the trees above me, diving into my back. My fur was soon wet. I shook my fur dry, and both of my ears perked up, listening for any small prey roaming by. My nose also sniffed for their scent. I was soon disappointed to find none. There was a time when I could spot a meal immediately, but now it was taking much longer than I thought. I sauntered along the depths of the forest, trying to find anything to put a stop to my hunger. I found nothing. Not even a rabbit, mice, birds, snakes, or any other small creature. I was not fond of fish
SalemMy four feet were carrying me from the depths of the forest, further away from my home. I could feel how unsafe it was where I was heading. The more I trotted, the more I glanced behind me until my home was nowhere in my sight.What was I doing?As much as I feared dying of hunger, I, too, could die outside of the depths of the forest.I paused, panting under a large tree, at my troublesome thoughts.My tongue hung from my mouth as I took quick breaths, and my heart palpitated as I observed my new surroundings. The sight of it gave me chills. There was too much light where I was. I was visible and easily seen by other predators, such as wolves, which was not good. I could never feel safe here.My ears and nose were on alert the entire time for any wolf that could possibly spot me. Luckily, I sensed none. I had enough time to quickly catch my prey and hurriedly return. My back rested against the tree, and my body quivered nervously as my eyes closed and my nose raised, sniffing th
Salem I was unconscious from the first hit. I found out after awakening from a sharp pain in my side. There, I discovered my body was tied to two back feet while I was dragged along a rocky path. I wanted to cry, already knowing my fate. It was difficult not to, knowing that your life was about to come to an end and that there was nothing you could do about it. They hauled my body along the ground like I was nothing. "The filthy scoundrel has finally decided to wake up," said one of the wolves behind me, who seemed to be on alert if I should try to escape somehow. The leader and the dark brown-haired male who was pulling my body along the path turned to look at me. "She awakens for her beating," he said with a laugh, turning back around. They all joined in. I felt a lump form in my throat, and tears slowly formed in my eyes, causing the place to become blurry. As much as I was in a terrible situation, I could never reveal my identity. I blinked back the tears in my eyes. "Wolv
