I woke up to the feeling of ticklish sensations slipping down my back. A rough finger was trailing down on my back in uneven curves. I opened my eyes and looked up. Alessio was laying by my side with his back to the window, his gaze focused on the skin of my back. “What are you doing?” I giggled in a still half asleep voice, arching my back a little to dodge his finger. He looked down at me and smiled. Then suddenly he grabbed me, and lifted me right off the bed, taking me over himself as he sat down with his back to the headboard, “Wake up, sleepyhead. It is afternoon already.” I snuggled back in him, closing my eyes shut. His naked body pressed against mine was still warm. “Mia?” “Mhmm?” I murmured. “We will have to go back in the evening. We have four hours max.” “Plenty for me.” I smiled softly. His hands caressed the side of my face. He leaned down, and kissed my cheek, and then whispered, “I want to talk about something serious now. We are together, and I don’t want any
“Welcome back!” Gloria greeted me and Alessio with a smile as we stood up from the couch to hug her. Many of the people of our pack had gathered in the hall and were curiously staring at us. Some even chimed in to ask about our time at the vacation, and the atmosphere was so pleasant that for the first time I did not mind being around the pack people. “I am so sorry that your trip was a short one,” Gloria said with a soft sigh, “you both deserved a break after all the issues. “It is alright.” I leaned on Alessio’s shoulder, “we can always go on a longer trip when things have settled down for everyone. This was more important, of course.” She smiled at me gratefully and then looked at Alessio, “Daniel is already waiting for you in the office room, Leo. He gathere the information and proofs as much as he could. You can go and discuss.” Alessio was caressing my arm till now. When he heard Gloria’s words, he nodded his head and stood up but then halting in his step, he turned around
“My pack?” Alessio raised his brows in shock. “Yes, alpha.” Daniel replied stiffly. “When our spies started the search mission, there were several unknown footprints leading back to silverline pack. We are trying to locate the location where it ends but its going in several direction at the same time which sounds impossible, but somehow, someone has done it.” Alessio was tensed. The news of someone of his pack having such powerful and smart way of making his best warrior disappear was clearly not an easy news to take in. “Dig deeper. Keep me updated.” Alessio said curtly, and then turned around to leave the room. I followed him out and saw him pacing back and forth in the hall. “What’s wrong?” “How can someone from my pack manage to betray and decieve me? How the fuck is that possible?” he gritted out the words as his fists rested on the side of his hips. “Do you think someone with a higher power is involved in this issue?” “The clues are going in that direction but we can’t be
MishaSomething jumped out of the woods, and my heart almost stopped.‘Ace!’ I scolded as I jumped back in fear before realizing who it was.Ace jumped toward me and started to headbutt me, pushing me back to make me laugh and give up on the anger. I nipped at his neck with my canines playfully, making him fall back. He started to run and I ran with him. This time he was a lot slower so it was easy for me to catch up with him.‘When we saw you before we got to know you were Alessio, you did not have any scent. But now I can sniff your scent clearly. How did you do that?” I asked curiously.‘Used a potion before coming to see you,” Ace smirked cheekily, “we usually use it on warriors to hide scent from opponents.’‘Wow, so I was a warrior level emergency for you?’ I giggled.He turned around and tackled me to the ground, ‘Definitely.’We spent an hour or two going through the woods and playing with each other. The forest was serene and the smell was good and the running river made our
AlessioTwo Weeks Later“Go go go!” Daniel barked as warriors barged inside a small building one after another. Ten warriors were surrounding the building from outside already and the other ten were with Daniel going through it to find our missing warriors. I was right in the middle of the building on the ground floor, trying to catch a hint of any suspicious sound or movemement.The search went on for the next minutes. Daniel and the search team thoroughly went through each nook and corner. The faint traces of a phone of one of our warriors had ended right at this building, but now there was no sign of anyone here. The signal had disappeared as well.It was a waste of time. The culprit was the one who was delibertly forcing the path of our direction.Daniel stormed out of the last room, his lips set in a grim line. His jaw clenched tight.“Nothing?”“Nothing.” he confirmed.“Any scent? Marks?”“No. Spotless.” Daniel hissed out in frustration, “fuck! It has been two weeks! Two fuckin
“This time I will be sure to not harm you physically.” Lara grinned.“I don’t need your pity!” Misha spat out, offended.“Fine by me.” Lara shrugged, and moved back on her paws, “time to show me your superpowers then.”Misha held a scared look in her eyes even though she was not showing any other sign of fear on her face.Daniel and I moved away from the ground while Misha and Lara rounded each other in the middle. Misha’s wolf was a bit weaker than Lara’s, but her aura was stronger. Lara was an experienced fighter, but Misha… it would be great if she could manage to not let Lara land any attack on herself.“Begin.” I commanded.Lara was the first one to take a leap from the ground to land an attack at Misha. Surprisingly, Misha lowered her body at the same time, and slid out of Lara’s way, causing the grey furred wolf to land on an empty ground with its claws scratching the flat surface. She turned again, but this time it was Misha who took a leap and attacked Lara with all her might
Mia“What?!” I jumped back in shock. Ace’s penetrating, calm gaze was still on me but I did not like the way he was looking at me right now. He was looking at me like he was trying to read my mind.“You have practised a lot with me. You are able to almost defeat Lara. Do you see now how strong you are?” he said to me in the sweetest voice.I stepped back more, my heart pounding inside my chest harder and harder. No. No. No. I will not… I can not do this.“I already told you I-”He walked up to me slowly, like approaching a wounded creature that he was afraid of scaring off,“You remember what we discussed? It is time to step out.” I was shaking. Bile was rising up in my throat because I was so nervous and tensed. My mind was in chaos and pounding. “Back off.” I whispered.“Misha-”“Back off!” I roared, furious. Why was he doing this to me? Why did everyone want to kill me? Was he also one of the enemies who wants to hurt me? My mind was getting filled with millions of thoughts and
A man walked in. His face was covered in scars and cut up in several places. It was hard to recognize any facial features. “He is one of the witnesses who are helping us trace down our missing warriors.” Alessio sat down next to me on the bed, “his name is Mateo.”The man was large in size, maybe six feet tall, but not too healthy or too thin. He looked like an average person but wore expensive clothes. “Thank you for saving me.” I said meekly. I did not know why but I could not look at him. It was not because of his scarred face. It was something else that I could not put my finger on.Mateo silently nodded his head. His head down, staring at the ground in a submissive manner.“Please go downstairs. You will find my beta Daniel in the hall.” Alessio said to Mateo, “I will definitely repay your debt for saving my mate.”Mateo bowed his head down in respect and walked out of the room. Alessio turned to me, his hand lifting up to caress the side of my face, “Never do that to me again
