Clayton looked up from the report the following day, that Liam had Lily take with her when she finally departed from their pack territory to pursue him at human territory. The report contained all the works he had left behind as well as the security reports that he noted has been rampant with the rogues behind all of it.
“Everyone back at the pack all good?” He had asked after opening the door when Lily knocked on his apartment. “Did you bring what I asked you?”
Lily nodded as she closed the door and placed her bag on the floor. She looked around the unit. familiaring herself with the orientation.
“Also did some scouting around the neighborhood,” she answered as she took a seat on the couch. “This seems to be a safe environment. There are other wolves here, too if I may add. Perhaps rogues, who took on a different path? I admire their courage for choosing that course instead of being nuisances in ours as well as on other packs.”
“Most here had no wolv
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! KUNG HEI FAT CHOI! :)
Amarah smiled thankfully at the baker after receiving her change late that afternoon. She then put them in her bag and accepted the box of pastries she chose from the glass display in front of her. She took a piece of blueberry Danish and took a bite, smiling as its sweetness.Her thoughts then drifted to Clayton as she went out from the store and starred walking back home. She starts to recall the man, who projects a manly charisma combined with an elegant flair of arrogance. Who would have thought that this type of a man will have a weakness for sweets?She smiled in amusement as she remembered that when she told him that she wants to have some dessert at the bakery near the apartment building, she saw his eyes lit up. Clayton ordered a piece of most of the display of pastries at the glass showcase.It’s been around two weeks since Clayton had arrived and occupied a unit at the back of the ground floor of the building. He made sure that he gets to droppe
Amarah abruptly jolted up, sitting up on her bed and screaming in fright. She flayed her arms restlessly when she felt someone grabbing them. She fought with all her might to keep herself from being restrained.“Mari! It’s me, Mari,” a firm voice came, breaking into her panic thoughts. “Look at me, Mari! You need to calm down.”She turned to her right and her eyes immediately filled with tears when she looked straight into her father’s eyes, who is sitting by her bed and looking at her worriedly. She flung herself to him, letting out the cries and fear gobbled up inside her. She hugged him tightly as she felt his arms wrapped around her back, one hand rubbing her back gently while the other is on her head protectively.“I’m here now, Mari,” he whispered soothingly. He kissed the side of her head. “Daddy’s here now. Everything’s going to be okay.”“I was so scared,” s
Clayton was rubbing the back of his neck worriedly as Jacklyn finally went out from Amarah’s room after checking on her when she fainted again. He looked up when she said something to her father, who is now back in human form and wearing the clothes Matt had provided for him. He watched as he entered his daughter’s room, closing the door. “She’s okay, Alpha,” Jacklyn assured when she turned and saw him looking at her expectantly. “She’s conscious now and requested to see her father. Let’s give them this time. She requested for it.” He nodded as he turned to Lily, who is sitting beside Liam, who arrived just this afternoon after requesting him to join them. He noted that Lily looked disturbed while Liam looked somewhat furious over something. “Is everything okay?” He asked patiently. Lily refused to answer while her twin brother looked at Matt hardly, who is talking quietly with Jacklyn and Gloria by the kitchen counter. “Don’t start,” she whis
Clayton looked at Gavin in surprised at the revelation he just heard. He looked at Lily, who is suddenly in deep thought, probably racking her brain for any information she might have heard about Gabriel Saville.I have not come across any Gabriel Saville, Lily linked to him in desperation.“Are you sure that he is the person that you suspected, Alpha Gavin?” He returned.“The scent you described to me is definitely him,” Gavin answered seriously. “Most males in our bloodline had the scent of mints in us combined with other scents. That fact you said wintergreen, only seals my confirmation that he is a Saville.”Matt stepped out behind Jacklyn and held out his hand. It was a small, round fruit that is a variegation of yellow and tangerine. He held it closer to Clayton.“That’s the scent we also sniffed when he was here looking for the moonstone,” Clayton stated.“This is the citrang
Clayton looked at his Beta in surprised. Of all things that he could think about what Liam will be suggesting, breaking into someone’s territory didn’t came up in his mind. He also noticed Lily giving her twin a surprised look.“Of all things that you can think of, that’s the best you can come up with?” Matt scoffed dryly.Liam stared back at him evenly.“You have a better suggestion, Doc?” He returned.“Stop it,” Lily snapped at him. She gripped her brother’s wrist tightly as if sending him a message as well. “He’s just asking because there might be another way for us to get the answers we need. We should not be careless because Gabriel Saville might discover that we’ve been there.”“That’s the only way. Break in can be done late in the evening,” Gavin suddenly agreed. He stood up and looked at Matt seriously. “How long can you be able to ma
Part II.Amarah opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long while before finally deciding to move. She sat up on the side of her bed, rubbing her eyes gently before looking out the window, and see the rays of the sun peaking through the tree branches.It has been two weeks since Clayton finally brought her with him to where his pack stays. He got into a heated argument with her father when he expressed his intent on bringing her with him back to his pack, Amarah was scared when she witnessed her father as well as Clayton’s temper clashed.“You are not bringing her there with you!” Mr. Saville exclaimed firmly when Clayton told him about his plan. “You will be putting her at risk once you bring her to your pack. She is safer here away from us!”Clayton narrowed his eyes.“She will be much safer when I am near her!” He insisted evenly. “You will no longer be responsible for her, Alpha Gavin. Fr
Clayton looked up from the book that he is skimming through inside the Lycan Royal Archive, his eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights to be able to get to the bottom of the thing bothering him since he came back from breaking into Gavin Saville’s residence.“Any luck?” He asked, his voice hoarse. He turned when he heard no response from Lily. He saw her sleeping deeply with her head on the table, her arms covering her face. He stood up and put his jacket over her, protecting her from the cold before he walked towards one window and looked out at the starry, night sky.He then looked down and saw wolves from different packs going around the castle grounds. He turned back towards the table he occupied with Lily and looked at the pile of books which contains the recordings of wolves around fifty years ago. The book opened in front of Lily, while she is sleeping deeply is about the history of the Saville’s.“You’re still here, Clay
Amarah leaned back on the tree trunk where she decided to sit down and continued sulking quietly. It has been five days since she attempted to leave the pack territory only to be caught up by Bradley near the border and dragging her back.“The alpha has told you to wait!” Bradley scolded, gripping her upper arm firmly without hurting her. “Amarah, please bear in mind that he has other things to attend to aside from your whining of seeing your family!”“He’s calling it whining?!” She screeched angrily. She stopped on her tracks and looked up at him intently and pulled her arm way. “Is that what he is calling it now?! Whining?”Bradley only let out a frustrated sigh, muttering under his breath.“You don’t have to keep your eyes on me, Mr. Bradley,” she said tightly. “I’m sorry that you have to babysit for me while the alpha is away. I give you my word that I will not leave t
