Frio shivered with the rage that he was feeling from the man that was squeezing his windpipe. He knew that this man was someone that he should never cross. But, what can he do? He wanted to find that woman!
[“Why do you need to find that woman?”]
Eon’s eyes were piercing a hole in Frio’s skull in his mind while his thumb was pressing his trachea and he had no qualms to shatter it if the man would answer his wolf with lies.
His wolf was hovering over this pathetic Omega’s wolf and he never felt so good to bully someone weaker than him, other than today.
This man brought out something in him that made him his wolf agitated.
[“I am telling the truth! Please don’t kill me!”]
“Please, I will tell you everything I know,” he whimpered in fear.
Eon dropped the man on the dusty floor where Ehann kicked him to the corner of the room.
“Talk. You have one chance to tell your truth!”
“The woman said her name was Luna!”
Eon stepped back to stand at the corner, letting Ehann take care of Frio. Ever since he left his pack, he didn’t allow his wolf to take over. But in front of this lowlife omega, his wolf has the overwhelming urge to be assertive and take control.
There was more to this man than what he was saying and it was not just about the girl he was looking for.
“Tell us something that we haven’t already known. Like for starters, why in the world would you search for that girl in this place just because the bar name is Luna.”
“You better answer him properly, Frio.”
Frio glanced at Eon who was standing behind this man interrogating him that has a leg that likes kicking him like he was a fucking dog!
[“Promise me you won’t kill me. And could you please, stop your Beta from hurting me.”]
“Please,” he dropped himself on the floor. “I will talk…I will talk, but could you please, stop kicking me,” he coughed, and a splatter of blood spilled on the dusty floor. “My body is frail.”
[“Enough!”]
However, Ehann kicked Frio on his side that made him cough more blood.
Eon was stunned by what just happened. And, it was not because Ehann kicked Frio but he just noticed that Ehann didn’t hear his wolf talking, but Frio does!
[“Are you willing to listen now, Alpha?”]
Frio grinned at Eon from the floor with his mouth full of blood that he got from Ehann’s kicking.
[“How did you do it? How did you keep my wolf from — ”], he glanced at Ehann, and from his expression, he could see that he had no idea what was happening between him and Frio.
[“I am a special lowlife Omega. That’s what I am.”]
“Stop! Please, stop,” he shrank to the corner, pulling his knees in front of him to protect his body from another beating. He raised his hands above his head. “I’m interested in the woman because it is not common for a wolf not to turn in a full moon of its seventeenth birthday.”
“There were records of some wolf who didn’t turn until they were eighteen. Stop stalling! The floor was now dirtied by your blood.” Ehann turned to Eon, and asked, “Don’t you think we had given him enough of a chance to explain himself?”
“Yes! Yes! You are correct. But not when they were already twenty-two and still haven’t turned!”
“This woman you are searching for is already twenty-two but still hasn’t turned?”
Frio nodded. Eon wolf has stopped talking to his wolf, so he has no way to make Ehann stop beating him but to talk. He frankly doesn’t want to spill what he knew to this right-hand man of Eon but he has left him with no choice. Eon contained his wolf and now, his wolf couldn’t talk to him anymore.
“Indeed that’s a bit peculiar,” he scratched his temple, muttering under his breath. He faced Eon who had been unusually quiet, and asked, “What do you think of it Eon?”
“Talk.” he nodded his head to Frio who successfully plastered his body on the corner of the room.
“Not only that she was a recessive wolf… she was also unaware that she's a wolf!”
“Eon, your father would — ”
“Shut up!” he ordered in a thundering voice.
Ehann dropped his head and his shoulder in fear, “My apologies.”
Frio observed the interaction between the two men in front of him. By watching Eon, he knew he made the right choice of coming here, but only if he could convince the Alpha not to kill him.
“That woman didn’t know that she was a wolf, and the Svalosky —"
“The Russian guy?”
Frio nodded to Eon, “Yes, that man. The one who was using the Lux as his personal hangout. That...night, he has the woman at his table. The woman was basically sitting on his lap, but Svalosky doesn’t seem to be aware that the woman in his lap is a wolf!”
Eon walked slowly towards Frio, “But Svalosky is an Alpha. How can he not know that the woman he was holding was one of our kind.”
“That’s why — I want to find the woman. But I’ve been in Lux for a week now and I didn’t see that woman anymore. Some regulars there told me that Luna likes moving from one club to the next. Since this club is — I was hoping I could find her here.”
“What a fucking liar! Eon, don’t tell me you believe this bastard!” He looked at Eon who had squinted his eyes to the man shivering at the corner.
“Come on, man! If that Svalosky couldn’t smell that woman as one of us, how could this jerk know that woman was a wolf.” He strode past Eon to give Frio another beating when Eon grabbed the back of his collar to stop him.
“Answer him, Frio!”
“I’m special…” he whimpered, hugging his knees.
“What a joke!” he spat on the floor. He shook Eon’s grip on his collar and stepped back.
“Ehann, take him to one of the safe houses. And make sure he didn't get hurt anymore. I need something from him.”
“But — Eon?”
Ehann was flabbergasted with Eon’s decision. But he could no longer question him for he turned his back on them and returned to the club. He could tell by the hissing sound of the elevator.
“It was just us, I suppose,” he returned his gaze to Frio.
“Pl-please, do-don’t— ”
Lina woke up from the feeling of warm water gently splashing on her skin. When she opened her eyes, she saw Eon in deep concentration, washing her naked body in the tub. She looked to her right and noticed that they were in their own cabin. “Hey, welcome back.” He grinned, caressing her cheek. “What happened?” She asked in confusion. Eon had the audacity to smirk and arch his brow. “Well, sweetheart, I could remind you what exactly had happened,” he said in the soft tone of voice, flicking her nipple that was peeking on the water. “What a jerk!” She cupped some water in her hands and threw it to Eon’s face to wipe the smug expression on it. “You were asking,” he chuckled, wiping the water off his face as he stood up and started removing his clothes and without a word stepped inside the tub with her. He took the other end, opposite from her. He had his knees bent but his legs were wide open. Lina swallowed, and the thought of crawling in between his legs, to settle in the comfort
The murky water of the swamp rippled and then became calm again as if nothing had happened. The silver moon was high in the night sky and the gentle breeze blew as they all stood at the bank, watching the swamp in silence.The wedding bouquet that Lina threw in the water could no longer be seen in the dark. She stepped closer to Eon’s side who automatically opened his arm to enfold her.“Eon, Lina, we have to go. Thank you for inviting us to your wedding.” Briare’s voice broke the silence between them.“Thank you for coming for such short notice,” Eon replied, extending his hand for a handshake then realized that Lina was like a small chick under his right arm, that he had to move to his left and again offered his hand for a shake to Briare. “Hope to still see you at Luna,” he added.Briare smiled at Eon’s invitation but in his eyes was sadness that Eon could not help but wonder what this man had been
“Lina Baptiste, today, I want to take you as my wife,” Eon said, kneeling in front of her.She gasped, covering her agape mouth with her hands as she stared at the kneeling Eon in disbelief. She lifted her gaze away from Eon for a few minutes and glanced at Elyon, Edina, and Ehann. They were all smiling at them, standing a few feet away from them.“I-I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe that you’re going to pull this kind of shit!” She slapped Eon’s shoulder as her eyes looked around the familiar path to the cliff that was decorated with white flowers. She wondered when Eon prepared all of it.“Baby, please, say yes and hurry because we are running after the sunset,” he laughed in amusement with the disbelief on Lina’s face.“Okay!” She laughed. She handed Eon her right hand then her left. She was confused about which hand to give.Eon took her left hand and slipp
“Holy shit! You’re getting married!”Elyon won’t stop grinning as if he was the one getting married.Eon scoffed but an equally wide grin was on his face. “Ask Edina to come because just as I’ve said…if you’re even listening, you jerk! Lina needs another woman to be her maid of honor and since you’re already my best man, your mate would be just perfect.”Elyon's glee was abruptly wiped off his face. “Dude, this mate thing…is quite—” He cocked his head to the side because he was lost for words and helplessly stared at Eon. “Was it really this hard?”Eon glanced at Ehann before returning his gaze to Elyon. “If you’re asking if it was really that hard to breathe without her next to you…then the answer is yes.” He laughed. “You’re screwed big time since it includes always wanting to be inside her.”Ehann, who was
Surveying the waffles, the scrambled eggs, and the fresh fruit on the breakfast tray that Eon put down on the bed, she glanced up at him in wonder.“How did you make this breakfast?”He smirked. “You don’t have confidence in your husband that I can give you whatever you want?”Lina rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue at him for two things. Because of how overbearing he was with a smug look on his face to be able to catch her in surprise with her breakfast request, served in bed and the second factor was him, calling himself her husband.It does tickle her fancy. She definitely likes the sound of it. ‘Her husband.’ However, they aren’t married and they haven’t talked about marriage at all. They talked about children but a wedding was a topic that they haven’t touched. She didn’t know if it was avoided or just that they didn’t think about it. Thus, now that Eon is calling himself her
When Lina came out of the bathroom, Alpha Aaron was no longer in the cabin. “Where is your father?” She asked, scanning the room. She came out of the bathroom wearing lounge pants and a sweater. She had no idea whose clothes she was wearing but they were comfortable. The perfect wear for the cold mountain night. “He had to leave because the Alpha of Lykanthos was caught and brought here.” “Oh,” she said with a sharp intake of breath. “You aren’t going to—” She had no idea what Eon should or could do. He shook his head and opened his arms and she strolled inside them and pressed her cheek on her chest. “We are just guests here. Whatever business they have, they will settle them on their own. Besides, why would I want to meet another egoistic Alpha when I have a beautiful woman in my arms?” He whispered over her head, rubbing her back. The slow movement of his large palm, rubbing her back in a small circle is giving her soft feelings. Sh
When Eon returned to the small receiving area of the cabin, Alpha Aaron was quietly drinking his tea. If he didn’t know that the Deep Forest pack was attacked and his father’s pack successfully defended his pack and his position as an Alpha, he would have been able to draw a strong alliance with the two packs in his borders, and a successful Turning ceremony. Eon would not know that his father was bone-tired. That he was just keeping it together but he had to take care of a lot of things and be able to make a sensible decision for the well-being of all the wolves of the Deep Forest pack. He has never been so amazed and admired his father than today.And now, he had to make another hard decision. He had to give a punishment to his own daughter.Eon took the only chair left on the table and without a word poured himself a cup of tea.“Lina won’t sit with us?”Eon met his father’s eyes. “No. I’d rather not.&rdq
“When are you going to tell her about Larissa?” Ehann nodded in Lina’s direction, who was talking with Alpha Tomas.“Later…”He said with a sigh. It’s something that he doesn’t want to discuss with Lina as much as possible. She doesn’t want to tell Lina what will happen to Larissa after she was known to conspire with the pack that attacked the Deep Forest pack, resulting in some members of the pack being heavily injured and one dying.Larissa, together with his two half-brothers were confirmed to connive with the Lykanthos pack to attack the Deep Forest pack. Her two brothers were killed by Laurence with the help of the wolves from the Rising Sun pack. Larissa was caught escaping with the Alpha of the Lykanthos pack but the coward Alpha of the Lykanthos used her as a trap and escaped on his own. Larissa is not held prisoner in one of the secret dungeons of the Deep Forest.And it’s something that she do
After the chaotic mess that happened at the end of the Turning ceremony where Elyon jumped down from the viewing deck, claiming the unmoving new she-wolf, Edina while the rest of the young wolves were scattered all over Deep Forest and the adults who were tasked to follow the new wolves. After Eon and Ehann had a really good laugh because their premonition of Elyon having a mate twenty years his junior just happened. All the while the two were splitting their sides with laughter, she just watched them in amusement. It’s another side of Eon that she had witnessed. And in a few moments that she was watching Eon laughing at his friend's supposed misfortune, she had a glance of what Eon was like as a teen with his friends. When they finally stopped laughing, they all went down from the viewing deck because they were the only ones left. “Where did the other go?” “At the after party of course,” Eon grinned. “Are we going there too?” He cares
