“WHERE are you going, Sir?” Isaac asked when he saw me wearing my coat.“To my wife.”“There goes that look in your eyes again. Sir, I suggest you tone down your temper a bit. Right now, you don’t look like you’re meeting your wife. You look like you’re going to war.”“If I catch someone lingering around my wife and making advances on her, then yes, Isaac. There could really be war today.”“But Sir, what about work?” Tristan appealed. “There are still documents you need to review and sign today-““They are on my desk. Of course, I finished all the paper work first before calling my wife. Just what do you think of me, Tristan? I don’t slack around. I reviewed them already. The proposals I didn’t like are now in the trash can. Tell them that I expect better pitches next week. I don’t like people who half-ass their jobs. They have to be deserving of the salary I’m paying them or else, they can say goodbye to the company.” I waved at them after getting my car key. “Take care of the rest.
(Alexandra)SLOWLY, I unfastened Luther’s jeans and with trembling hands, I released his shaft from his boxers. And that proud thing between his legs greeted me in an instant. I looked at in in awe. It was hard to believe that something as huge as this had been inside me several times before. Even until dawn earlier, this was inside me. How did it even fit?And how come I was craving for it again?The bodies and shafts of those I watched from the CD was nothing like Luther’s. Those men would all fail in comparison to my husband. If not for research, I would have stopped watching it. This one in front of me was the real thing. And it looked extremely daunting with those veins and ridges and yet, I found it beautiful. It was the only thing I wanted to look at, the only thing I wanted to touch without feeling disgusted.Luther laughed. “Darling, you can touch it. Don’t worry, no matter what you do to it, it won’t bite. It’s yours now.”I raised my hands to welcome it. My fingers glided o
“LET ME rephrase the question then. Come on. Close your eyes and don’t think about your responsibilities, darling. Just try to imagine it. If you are not going to be a Luna, if you are an ordinary human being, where do you think you are right now? What do you think you might be doing on a day like this?”I leaned on the chair and closed my eyes. Luther’s question was pushing me to dream… to imagine, which I never got to do before. If he was not my husband and I was asked that question, I wouldn’t have answered it knowing that there were no ‘ifs’ in my life. I was a wolf through and through. Should we get to live after the war, then I will still be the Luna afterwards. Nothing would change about the plan.“I think I would have been a photographer. I want to travel the world, visit as many places as I could, and capture its beauty,” I said after some time. “I would either be in Japan, Switzerland, or Australia. I would be busy walking around and doing my job while enjoying life and when
(Luther)I QUICKLY dodged another bullet while running towards the Alphas who blocked my path. There was a sudden change of plan. The training had become harder, longer, and more extensive for the wolves which required my team’s help. It was a good thing since the team will get to learn something out of this, too.When I got a hold of the first Alpha and disarmed him, I pulled him toward the knee and aimed for the soft part of his abdomen. But before my fist could land onto him, he tried to get away. I hauled him harder on the head and transitioned to what they referred as ‘up knee strike’. I used my knee to hit him right in the face.Even if there was blood on his face now, I went ahead but another Alpha caught me. It was Dad. I fell on the ground. He grasped my collar before he pulled my hands into the center and sat on my stomach. He taught me this before. The goal for this was to crush my Adam’s apple with his knuckles which will cut off my airflow. The tightened collar had kept m
(Alexandra)SUZANNA had turned pale after touching my womb. She stood and took her bag as if she was in a hurry. The last time I saw her was during the wedding. And I had been missing her home-cooked meals that’s why I was surprised and happy at the same time when she came to visit and brought me my favorite dishes including pork steak, beef patties, leche flan and graham: the two best desserts she had made.After she watched me eat with gusto, we sat at the living room and chatted about a lot of things which ended up about my baby. But when I let her touched my belly, she recoiled and her hand started shaking uncontrollably.“I will visit you another time. I’m sorry, Alexandra. I have to go now-““No, stay, Suzanna,” I said as I held her arm. Her body had become cold. And she was sweating as if she had seen something that terrified her so much. “What’s the matter? Did you have another vision? It’s abo
“NOW that we’ve finally located them, we decided to strike first while they are still gathering and preparing their troops. This is the best time to attack. Our best warriors along with Luther and his team will be the ones to deal with the Vampires. I will also join them. But don’t worry, we will leave some warriors here to watch over you. Your mother also promised to look after you. What do you think of the plan, Xandra?” Dad asked during the meeting.All eyes were suddenly on me.Luther had improved so much and had even beaten the rest of the Alphas during his last training. And that included Dad. As a crimson wolf, I understood perfectly that he was required to go. But for some reason, I wanted to stop him. This must be the hormones. It was making me emotional.Just as we predicted, the Vampires were still in the country. Luther’s team had tracked them down and found them in Baras, Rizal. What was I worried about? The wolves were stronger now. And there were several packs who will
“HANG in there, Alexandra. We can almost see the head. Just push a little more, all right? You can do this. I’m here. I’ll hold your hand.”Tears rolled down my cheeks as I held onto my mother’s hand. Her free hand wiped the cold sweat off my face. It was like all my veins were about to pop out. It hurt so much. This was a lot more painful compared to when I shifted the first time. I could feel the pain scattering all over my body. It kept breaking me again and again. It would have been fine if I was the old Alexandra. I could still endure it. But the ‘me’ now no longer had enough strength to spare.Less than an hour after the Warriors left, my stomach began to hurt so much. My water bag broke and I started having contractions. Clay carried me back to my room while Beatrix rushed to summon Doctor Celeste, the pack doctor. Her husband, Doctor Brent, had also joined the war.I closed my eyes when I inhaled Luther’s scent from the pillow. How I wished he was here with me today to hold my
(Beatrix)I QUICKLY shifted back to my human form when I saw Kenji approaching the house where Alexandra and the baby were in. I desperately blocked his path.This time, he didn’t try to mask his scent, the color of his eyes, or the fury in his face. I could see it all now. My heart sank when I glanced at his sword and saw that blood was still dripping from it. He had slashed and killed as many wolves as he could. These hybrids had the strength and speed of wolves and also the power of vampires. With Alexandra’s condition, there was no way we could win against them.Kenji winced when he saw the wound on my shoulder. I was right. It wasn’t all a lie. He truly did love me.“Get out of my way, Beatrix. I don’t want to hurt you,” he warned.“I love you,” I whispered instead.“You only loved the Kenji who was nice to you, who was a fool for you-““If you know my heart so well, then could you at least tell me why my heart is still racing right now at the mere sight of you despite the sadnes
