The assassin suddenly shifted his arm, the gun in his hand moving toward me. My eyes widened in shock as I stumbled back on my feet in fear. Alessio was just as shocked as me as he turned his head toward me and then back to the assassin. “Drop that weapon right now.” Alessio said in an authoritative, threatening voice, “you are inside the pack house. You will not get out alive!” The man appeared unaffected by the threat. His voice was a heavy, and deep one, much like his big form. He looked about seven feet tall, and his body was that of a monster size with big muscles. “Sorry Alpha, we can not keep a traitor alive.” “What?” I whispered, his words were increasing my fright with each passing second. The assassin’s eyes were pinned on Alessio while his gun stayed pointed in my direction. One move from Alessio and he would shoot me. His stance was clear. “She planned to kill you and Luna Gloria.” he took slow steps in our direction, getting closer, “I was tasked to keep an eye on h
At that very moment, a shrill sound of alarm shook the pack house. The sound of commotion started immediately while the attacker shot off my body, standing on his feet with surprise on his face. I turned my head toward Alessio. He had pressed on a button that was right next to his work table. He was still writhing in agony, his body burning red and his eyes shined blue. The wolfsbane was taking effect on him very fast. If it had been any normal werewolf, he would have fainted already. The assassin had immediately turned around and ran out of the room. The roars could be heard from outside, the sounds of growls and screams and then… sudden silence. As the pain became blinding, Misha changed back to human form, giving me control. The danger was no longer around. I was on the ground in my human form, naked, but the pain running through me was too blinding for shame to take any place. The cold floor underneath me was calming. I heard Alessio coming close to me. He snatched a blanket off
A wave of shock passed across his face. And then disappointment appeared. His face fell, the smile faded and he looked like I had snatched his life out of him. I could see the doubt, the fear mixed with surprise unfolding behind his eyes. His hand was clutching the iron rod above my head tightly while his lips thinned into a displeased line. “What? An Omega should not dare to reject you?” I scoffed, catching him off guard. He remained silent, but I could see that his ego was hurt. I had caught his thought by its neck and wrung it down in front of him, and now I could watch it burn in front of him. I smiled in a way that could only be deciphered as sarcastic, “Yeah, it should be my lucky day, right? An alpha gracing me with his acceptance to be his mate? He fell in love with me without realising and now when he knows what he wants, he has decided to express it to the girl that he rejected without a second thought? How can I even expect to be asked for my answer? You decide and I give
As I entered the hospital room after bidding goodbye to Gloria, my eyes first fell on the figure laying on the bed next to mine. With his arms folded under his head over the pillow, Alessio was sound asleep. Daniel was standing next to his bed, staring down at him with pissed off expressions. When the sound of my footsteps entered the room, Daniel turned around to look at me. “He is not leaving.” he said in a flat tone, “I have tried. He insists that he will stay here until you are discharged.” I looked at Alessio’s sleeping form and then back at Daniel. Shaking my head at his stubbornness, I responded to Daniel, “It is alright. You can go.” Daniel nodded his head. Giving a last brief look to Alessio, he turned around and walked out of the room. The sound of our conversation must have stirred Alessio out of sleep as he blinked open his eyes. “What are you doing?” I asked Alessio. His things had been brought in my room and arranged on the bed next to mine. “Moving in with you.” he
“Mimi!” Lara’s scream startled me long before her arm came flinging around my neck to wrap around from behind. I had just walked inside the school and there she was. She bent me sideways to kiss me on the cheek and then let go of me. Her arm slid under mine as she walked side by side with me. “I was gone for barely a weekend and look at the things that happened to you!” she said worriedly, her eyes scanning me from head to toe carefully, “Are you alright?” “Yep,” I smiled, “all healed. Werewolf power.” I said proudly. “Good.” she grinned and pushed me inside the classroom before following to sit next to me. As we settled in, she got closer to me, leaned forward and whispered, “I heard some crazy things though. Is it true that it was Hardy who tried to harm you and alpha?” The smile from my lips faded as the memory of that night came back to me. The pain in my ribs had been excruciating. Nodding my head, I responded to her, “Daniel and Alpha Alessio are interrogating him. But ye
Taken aback by his words I could not even think of what to say. Removed me from the Omega position? Why? What is going on now? “Why? Is this another one of your little tests?” I asked doubtfully. “Of course not.” Alessio snapped, scowling. He looked offended that I would even think that, “you did not deserve to be an omega since the very beginning, that is why.” I took a step back. Then another, and another, and then turned around to walk out to check if someone was standing outside the door helping Alessio play some kind of prank on me. Alessio stared at my actions with a confused gaze. When he realized what I was doing, he grumbled something under his breath and then marched toward me. Grabbing my arms, he pulled me back inside the room, “What are you doing?!” “Confirming that it is not another test.” He frowned and then muttered gently, “Mia, this is not another test. There will never be another one. I give you my word.” he let go of my arm and then continued, “the way you we
Alessio “You threw them away?” Mia repeated, baffled. Something was wrong, I had already realized it by the way she was reacting. Her breathing was heavy and her eyes were focused on me without any attention. I walked toward her gingerly, responding calmly, “They were torn out and dirty. None of the old clothes were in a good enough condition to keep for you to dress in anymore, Mia. What is wrong?” Her fingers clenched tight at my words as her lips tightened in a thin line. And then she snapped furiously, “Who gave you the permission to do it? You had no right to touch my things, let alone throwing them away! What the hell is wrong with you?!” I scowled at her. Why was she reacting this way? It was not like I had left her naked. I brought her a whole damn closet filled with new clothes so all I had expected was a smile from her, not even a thank you. I wanted to see her happy and instead she was angry because I threw the old ripped up, unsalvageble shit away? “It was all garbage
Mia I was laying on my back on the bed, wide awake, staring at the dark ceiling. I had not been able to eat or drink anything at all since the moment I had returned from school.My fingers kept playing with the locket in my neck. This was the only thing left to me now. My dad had gifted it to mum and mum had given it to me to wear when I turned thirteen. That red cloth that I hid and protected was the one that she had worn the day she was killed. It was barely a patch the size of a hanky but it meant everything to me. The scent of her had faded from it but having it close to me at all times made me feel like she was right next to me. When I got nightmares of seeing her and dad getting killed, that cloth gave me strength to go on and live despite all hardships. A knock came on my bedroom door. Startled, wondering who it could be at this time of the night, I sat up straight quickly, alerted. But then the familiar scent of rain wafted past me. It was Alessio. Even though I did not wan
