Alpha JasperI was staring at Ayra as she slept, her hair a jumbled mess all over her face. The feeling of satisfaction is immense, and the contentment is floating in my belly, as if I had just eaten a feast and I wanted the whole world to know it.She was very beautiful, even in her sleep. Her right hand was beneath her head and her other hand held me in a tight grip as if she didn't want to let me go. It was something I enjoyed, the feel of her skin on mine, the tingling that I felt whenever our flesh came in contact. Her luscious lips glared invitingly at me, daring me to taste them one more time. The duvet covered her breasts, revealing only the valley that led to the abode of pleasure. I wanted to be in that abode, but waking her up was disastrous. I couldn't hear any noise apart from cracking sound of the cricket and the gentle breeze from the rear end of the window. I had a chance to go into that abode of pleasure once again.I am scared of kissing her again because I believe
Ayra I was looking at the beta coming towards me, his hand outstretched in an embrace. The rogues were all around him, their arms outstretched likewise, all of them seeming to come from different directions all at the same time. They were crowding me, boxing me into a circle. Perspiration poured down my back in rivulets, making the blouse I was putting on stick to my skin. They were coming closer and there was no space to run anymore. I screamed and at the same time I shot upwards, out from the darkness and into the light. The rays of the sun poured through my windows, and I wanted nothing more than the sunlight. It was one of my numerous nightmares where my uncle and the rogues seemed to be chasing me. It never seemed to stop, the nightmares. They were always in my sleep constantly, unwavering, refusing to let me go even if I was far away from their reach. I stood up from the bed, discarding the sheets that had given me solace the previous night. Slipping my hands into my lower b
SELENE I gazed at Ayra from my seat on the table. It was a battle of wills, this game we were playing. She stared at me and when I stared back, she glanced away. The hatred inside my system was threatening to gush out of my pores any minute, like a venom it was waiting to be unleashed. She had come into the silver crescent pack like a thief in the night, and had stolen the Alpha right before my very eyes. She was eyeing my throne next, and wasn't willing to let that part of me go without a fight.I watched her as she ate,and I desperately wanted to tell her to remember that she was with child, that she should mind the type of food she consumed. But the hatred in me was greater than care, and the silver of affection was no match for the revenge that I planned on a daily basis to dish out to her. The signs had been there all along, the signs that she was going to bite more than she could chew. It had been there when she saw the fuss alpha Jasper seemed to make as soon as he saw her p
Ayra I applied the last of my makeup, my heart thumping in my chest. My stomach was fluttering, and I had to admit, I was very lightheaded. It was going to be my first ball amongst the wolves of the silver crescent pack, and I was excited for it. It was my chance to make new friends outside the Palace, it was time to meet new people. Pregnancy didn't allow for the luxury of walking around a lot—especially when the pregnancy was as important as an alpha's offspring. One couldn't be necessarily found outside the Palace walls because it was believed generally that the pup within a wolf should never be put at risk, no matter what. So finally going outside was going to be a huge relief. It was something I wanted to do—to meet the women folk and discuss trivial matters. To meet the women of the court and admire their dressing. To watch the ball in all it's splendour and glamour. To get lost in the lights and the flurry of activities that was a silver crescent ball. I cherished this feeli
ALPHA JASPERI waited for Selene to round up her makeup, checking my reflection in the full length mirror in the hall. The robe was knee length, but it gave me the perfect royalty look. Anybody who me would know instantly that I was different from the rest. That had always been my plan, to stand out from the rest. That was how I had become an Alpha, from striving to become different, from wanting so badly to be different from the rest that I had actually become very different, way different even beyond my expectations.If there was anything I wanted, it was for Ayra to be on my arm and not Selene. I missed her already, and the few days I have spent outside her chambers at night have not been very friendly. Is this what I called a temporary arrangement? Is this what I had referred to as the meantime till she was delivered of her child?It was slowly striking me that even if Ayra was delivered of my offspring,I wasn't going to let her go just like that. She was my responsibility, the mo
Arya PovWhen the Alpha approached, In curtsey, I bowed, then raised my head to meet his gaze. It was different from the way he looked at me. That familiar spark was gone. What could be wrong? Despite the heat of the wine in my system, my head was telling me that something serious was going on. So even though I was a little drunk, I was able to control myself just fine.“Repeat what you told me in the car, Selene.”Bracing up, I watched Selene take a deep breath before she began to explain. “Ayra Scotler came to my room and stole my necklace. The prized possession my mother gave me before she died.”“The necklace with a silver crescent sign?”“Yes, that one. I was in the bathroom when I saw her steal into the room and carry it ontop of my bedside table.”The noise that followed her announcement was painful to hear. The gasps that followed a few minutes later told me the story that I wanted to know–that everyone was looking at me and expecting me to say something. My heart in my hands
Alpha Jasper I watched Ayra bow before me, and it took me a huge deal of self control to restrain myself from taking her in my arms and raining kisses on her head. She was so beautiful in the black gown that she was putting on that I wondered if Selene would ever match up to her. Pregnancies were supposed to stress a woman,but in Ayra, the reverse seemed to be the case. She was ever glowing, ever radiating, and I looked at her and was proud that indeed, this was the mother of my offspring.I gritted my teeth together, swallowing my smile. I was showing her that I was annoyed by her behavior, that I was angry with what she had done to Selene, if indeed she had taken the necklace.Threading on cautious grounds, I faced Selene instead.“Repeat what you told me in the car, Selene.”I watched Selene purse her lips before speaking up. A crowd had started to form slowly, and I desperately wanted to tell them to go away. But I had no control over this type of crowd. “Ayra Scotler came to m
Sofero PovJust before the ball started, I went to take care of Arya's dress, ironing and making sure it was in perfect shape for her.She was like a sister I have never had; even though we weren't in the same rank, she treated me well,not rubbing my wounds on my face and reminding me how low life I am, just like Selene does.She was kind and accommodating; sometimes I have wished she could take away the Luna position from Selena and take over as Luna. The world needed to see how kindhearted she is, but I guess she wasn't interested in the throne.Why was she different from the others? I know how many could kill given the slightest opportunity to be the fated mate of the Alpha. But Arya was humble and down to earth.I folded her ready clothes to drop them off in her chambers. I knew I wouldn't be able to pay her off for her kindness, and it pierced my heart badly at what I was about to do. I had no choice.As I neared Arya's chambers, I saw Luna Selena looking around like a thief on h
