Amante POV
After the painful surgery Mikaela performs to remove the bullets from my body, I see my wounds quickly heals without a trace. Not a scar remains. I check out the place. It is cozy in here. A soft couch at the end wall of the modest living room is calling for me. I have had a tough time since the attack in the city. It won’t break a bone to slow down and take a little rest. I am home anyways. Aside from the palace where I grew up in, this abode is the nearest place I can call home of my own. I feel comfortable here. Although I have to hang out with Detective Andrews while I’m here, I simply regard him as my errand boy. He will do my bidding, anything I ask he can and will surely do faultlessly, with generous payment of course. As he had once said, nothing is free in this world. You have to have something to offer to take whatever you w
Thank you so much for continuing to read my book.The story is getting more exciting,more intense scenarios coming your way!Enjoy!
Amante POV I am back in Verte Monde after a day of meticulous planning with the Andrews. I always make sure to be here after a day or two in Dougherty. Things will go suspicious if I fail to get back. Somebody might notice and a pursuing team meant disaster to my hidden agendas. I could see the familiar faces of my packmates. I am delighted with their warm greetings. They have smiles on their faces and they approach me with reverence. Most of them are congratulating me on my betterment as Lead Hunter. I keep a stoic expression despite the excitement. From the building on the left side of the territory, I see Marina coming my way. She’s wearing the same old, worn-out garments which look displeasing to me now. The excitement that I used to feel for her every time I see her before is all gone. It feels like simply meeting a friend most normally on
Amante POV I’m never wrong with my instincts. It has always been on point and had saved me every time. Beta Emir with Maziar following closely behind is by the door, giving their respectful greetings to the Alpha King and his Luna who has a look of stoic resignation on their faces. I can sense the tension in the air. The newly arrived guests awkwardly walk in and sit next to me. I see Maziar’s questioning glare at me but I ignore him. He’s going to discover it himself soon. As I had planned, everybody has him under the hot seat. They are now bombarding him with questions about the place with better food resources that he completely excludes from his hunting escapades for two decades. It is near enough to be discovered if he had done his duties diligently
Cape Narciso, as Detective Andrews name it, is a large, ice-capped island. It is mysterious as it can appear and disappear from one’s peripheral vision due to thick fog banks, pumice rafts from underwater volcanoes, floating icebergs, and freak breakers. As we came nearer the ice shelf edges, the combers moved slowly in. We need an ice boat or something to reach the low-lying coastal area along the Peninsula. Luckily, matted clumps of vegetation have been swept off the dry land. The long, narrow mass of land along the northern borders of Antarctica is thick with layer of ice and snow, which can exceed 1,200 m deep. A lone mountain range is half-covered by a glacier, very high, all white, and seemed to extend to the sky with its peak visible only with the beaming light of the crescent moon. It is already midnight when we reach the dry bank. We walk in silence, wary of the foreign but spectacular land
Amante POV Having a human mate had its perks as well. Allyssa is such a weakling, vulnerable, and easy to crash within my grasp.I ravage on her delicate body as soon as the feast celebrated for my successful hunting ended. I was delighted when I heard from my packmates that they haven’t seen her out. She stayed in her room as instructed for all the days I have gone away. That’s a clear sign of her obedience and subordination. But still, I found myself resenting her. Marina was with her when I entered her room. Both girls were having the best of their times, I saw that. Marina was fixing Allyssa's silky black hair into a roy
Amante POV “Amante, your human mate is by the lake, making a scene with some packmates. Fetch her up now!”, a sudden mind link from an irritated Beta Emir penetrates inside my mind as soon as I step on the territorial borderline. I am taken aback by the tone of voice he uses at me. How dare he! I was just trying to get ahold of him to announce my arrival thru the mind link. I never expected to be barked upon by some jerk. I feel my heating blood rushing up my face. I am completely humiliated! Though the mind link is just between us two, I could not help but be offended. He's shouting at me like some petty doggie wagging its tail at his command. “Growl…I will!”, I replied and shut him off, the air seems to be engulfed by an invisible fire of wrath. “Go by yourselves to the storehouse. I've got somewhere else t
Amante POV It’s hard to believe that there are creatures still unknown to the world of darkness. Sure, I have heard tales of vampires and some mystical forest entities like fairies, and even mermaids, but their existence has long been forgotten. They have gone on hibernation to nowhere some hundreds of years ago. Only our race, werewolves, have the guts to survive along with humans. We rule, or so I thought! It took me an hour or so to get to the point of view of the battleground. I fail to urge Amaltheo to shift and I have to painstakingly, without stopping once, run through the frozen land of Verte Monde in my naked human form. The night is filled with darkness, not a sight of the moon or even stars. The cold gust of s
Amante POV There’s chaos everywhere. Several she-wolves with their children howl over their dead mates. The pack grounds are a terrible sight to see. I notice the Luna fetches her bloody husband and they enter their abode solemnly. The wailings never seem to cease at any point in time. It’s horrible in here. ********* The screaming and crying out loud of those left behind still lingers in my mind. I can sense their sanity fading away, barely holding on to their unfortunate life. The gasps, those terrible hiccups coming from those innocent, little ones. Why do they have to suffer in this unjust world? We were simply living our lives peaceful
Amante POV All werewolves have their spirit wolf. At some certain age, our wolves are awakened. It is an essential part of our existence. It distinguishes us from humans. It is known to be the strongest part of our being. When in wolf form, our senses are heightened, our strengths tripled, and we can smell and sense our mate at an approximate distance. In human form, our wolf stays inside our minds, like some sort of inner ghost and/or in human language “conscience”. They are supposed to be our protector, confidante, and spiritual guide. A werewolf without a wolf can be considered a mere human. We are called werewolves simply because we have a wolf. Once the awakening takes place, it is very unlikely for a wolf to depart from the werewolf’s body, like souls from hum
