Hailey's reasoning for not accepting their bond might seem odd to some, but I wanted to show a diff side of the 'mate bond' compared to the typical connection that are present in most stories. Hailey has come back a diff woman after almost dying by her own mate so you can just imagine how weary she is now with bonds. This is her taking her own fate into her hands. :) Other than that, raise your hand if you want Hailey to punch Heather's lights out hahaha
I don’t think there’s anything more uncomfortable than watching my own sister–who has done her best to try and look like me–blatantly flirt with the man who I slept on the same bed with the night before and who has also just recently confessed his desire to be with me. What’s even more weird is how nobody, not my parents nor Hunter, has pointed out anything out of the ordinary. It makes me wonder if it’s just me seeing this or somehow my mind has made it up. But no. I can see clearly with my two freaking eyes that Heather is way too touchy compared to normal! “Here, you can use this butter knife, King Hunter…” She says before slowly pushing the knife on the table and inching her hand closer to his, making sure that they end up skin to skin. What the fuck? Is nobody else seeing this?! “I didn’t ask for a knife,” Hunter said coldly before proceeding to eat his bread with one bite, not giving any attention to my sister. At least if there was any consolation to this weird situati
Chaos erupted in that dining room like nothing I have ever witnessed before. In the blink of an eye, the kindness my parents had bestowed upon Hunter had flown out of the window and their eyes had turned into something vindictive. “What… what exactly do you mean by ‘Lycans are forbidden to be with our kind’? I don’t think I’m understanding this properly.” My mother asked, her jaw muscle ticking and her eyes slightly twitching. I wanted to tell her that it meant exactly how Kage said it. Kage may be a cheating asshole, but he is also a smart asshole. That means he knows a lot about political affairs and whatnot since it’s required for him as an Alpha. He meets so many wolves of all Packs and ranks that I’m sure he must have heard this information from one of them before. But why is he so adamant on letting others know even if it means angering the King himself? That I have no idea. Kage lets out a few coughs as he puts a hand over his chest while trying to catch his breathing
There was just so much going on, so much to think about that I was thoroughly and completely overwhelmed. “Please come home with me, Hailey.” Hunter said as his eyes remained staring deeply into mine and his hand was holding mine tightly like he never wanted to let go, or he didn’t want me to let go. “This isn’t right, Hailey! You were mated to me first!” Kage demanded at the side which caused Hunter to turn to him with another death glare. The look he gave him was so terrifying, I was surprised that Kage wasn’t crumbling to the floor in fear. I gotta hand it to this guy, he was tougher than I thought. Or stupider. I guess it works both ways. “I don’t– This is– Um…” Oh my goddess, I couldn’t come up with words to say. My mind was completely blank and it wasn’t helping at all that everyone was staring intently at me, waiting for an answer. “I’m sorry, I– I can’t do this right now. Please, I need time to think.” I managed to say to them and there was this fleeting second where I t
The sun had set and the moon was bright above the night sky when I found myself walking back to the Pack mansion. I didn’t realize how much time had passed since Evera and I decided to shift and go on a run around the territory until now. My mother had been bugging me in mindlink to come back, but I told her that I needed time on my own. I knew the decision I had to make and where it would bring me so I figured if it was going to be my last day and night here, I was going to take my time remembering it all. Even if not all my memories were good here, I was still going to miss the place I could call home. For the most part. But now that it was past eight in the evening, I have missed dinnertime, and I’m admittedly hungry, as well as thoroughly aware of what I had to do, I could no longer keep myself away from my responsibilities. I let out possibly one of the deepest sighs in my life as I stood in front of the main entrance, dusted the remaining leaves and branches that have stuc
Looking back, I don’t think there was ever a day in my life living within the walls of this house that I never thought of leaving, of packing my bags with just my necessities, then walking out and never turning back. I always thought of what my life would be like if I ever had the courage to finally break free from my sister’s claws, my mother’s nagging, and my father’s disapproval of me. Most days when my sister would really push me to a brink, I would find myself starting to pack my things, but then stopping. I never had the guts to truly go all the way. But what I did manage to do was find out how to get out of this place without being seen, without letting others hear my footsteps, and the nooks and crannies of this place that many don’t even bother to explore. I’ve stayed in many of them. I’ve gotten lost in most of them on purpose because there I could actually find peace, but only until I am called or demanded to show up. This time, I wasn’t going to hide out in them.
Being with Kylo has made me come to the realization that I don’t really know him as much as I thought I did. I have come to know three things ever since he and I left our Pack lands. One – He knows a lot of people. And by people I mean those that somehow respect him and their relationship and are willing to lend a helping hand for us to get to where we need to get to. Wherever it is. Which leads me to the second thing – Kylo Knight, for some reason, not only knows an abundance of people, but places, too. In the time we had left and started traveling, we had been able to stay and admire three lands in the span of a week. We stayed at least two days in each of them before we went to the next. I’m not really sure what the reason is that we don’t stay put. At first I thought that it was because we weren’t far enough from our Packs, but I only thought that for the first place we stayed at. The second, yes, there was still some hesitance so I agreed to go to another place, but on the
Warning: This chapter is graphic with violent scenes and post-battle injuries. Please read with caution. — I’ve never been more frightened until this very moment. Until two rogues, clearly much bigger and stronger than I am, are coming at me with all that they’ve got. I tried my best not to be tempted to turn around and get a look at how close or how far they were from me, knowing full well that if I do I will make one mistake like lose my momentum and then it would be all over for me. For Kylo and I. I based their distance from the sounds of their angry growls, leaves rustling, and branches breaking. Kylo, thankfully, was also running to get to us. Having been together for a few days, I managed to distinguish his growl from them and I could tell he was getting even more furious that these rogues just wouldn’t die. “Come on Evera, don’t give up on me now.” I told–pleaded–with my wolf as we ran and ran, our bodies not equipped with running at this speed for a longer time, but
It’s dark and it’s cold. So cold that my hands and feet are feeling numb and my lips are dry and chapped. I try to speak, but my throat is so dry that moving my mouth is a task. Finally, when I managed to open it, there were no words coming out. I tried to scream, tried to push any sound to be released from my own vocal chords, but there was completely nothing! I felt the panic rise in me and when I opened my eyes, darkness greeted me. There was not a single bit of light that it was almost like I hadn’t even opened my eyes at all. I blinked open and close trying to check if they were already open and after ten tries, I gave up. Wasting my energy trying to wish I was somewhere else beside this place wasn’t going to get me anywhere. I needed to do something fast. My survival instincts kicked in and even if I was still shivering from the cold, I pushed myself to move, making sure to remain cautious about my surroundings. Besides the thin cushion I was laying down on, there was n
