HeraI’ve been working in this cafe for a week now, and I can say that I’m enjoying it. I’m still wearing a mask for every shift in fear that someone will recognize me.“Hera, you’re brother’s out front. He asked me to call for you,” Claire, one of my coworkers, said.“Yeah, I’m coming. Thanks, Claire,” I said.“No problem, girl. Your brother’s an eye candy, so the pleasure is all mine.”I chuckled. “Just tell me when you want me to introduce you to him.”She blushed. “Nuh-uh. Not now, at least.”“Alright. Can you handle the counter? I’ll be back in a jiffy after talking to him.”She nodded her head, and I went out of our workspace. I saw River sitting by himself in one of the booths, so I hurriedly went over to him.“What’s up? You called for me?”He looked up from his phone an

Arlo“Come on, bro. Just call River and ask him out on a date.”Devyn turned to me with a stunned face. “No,” he said and shook his head vigorously. “We’ve known each other for not even one semester, Arlo. Why would I ask him out on a date?”I sighed. “It doesn’t have to be a romantic date! Just ask him out on a friendly date and ask his sister to come.”He raised one of his eyebrows. “Oh, I see. So, this is what it’s all about. You want to meet your precious Hera and sweep her off her feet. Why don’t you just ask her out on a date? She’s your mate anyway.”“Do you think I haven’t tried? Where do you think I’ve been wandering around these last couple of days? I’ve been trying to convince her to go on a date with me and live in the packhouse, but she refused every single time. You’re my last resort, Dev. Help your big bro out on th

Hera“Rogues.”We all froze up in our seats the moment he said that word.“Rogues are still real? I thought that the Werewolf Committee had wiped out all rogues about twenty years ago,” River said, shocked.Arlo nodded his head. “That’s what I thought. But, there has been an emergence of rogues ever since the annihilation of the Silver Raven pack. I heard that there is also a rise in deviant organizations that want to take the most powerful packs down.” He sighed, “If this goes on, then I’m afraid that history might repeat itself.”“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.“Have you never heard about it? The legendary war between the Blood Shadow pack and the Coun—”“Arlo,” Devyn interrupted his statement. “As much as I would love to hear about our pack’s history, I’m afraid that we’re literally being chased by ro

ArloI woke up, expecting to see someone by my side, but to no avail. I just had one of the best sleep that I've had for a while now, and I was looking forward to seeing Hera when I opened my eyes.Based on yesterday’s events, I thought that we had built a new connection, but I have to reconsider that thought now. I guess some things really need more time to change.Although I didn’t want to get up, I forced myself to go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. I have to brief the pack leaders and warriors about the recent rogue sightings near our area.I walked towards the training grounds and saw them sparring against each other. The moment they felt my presence, they halted their movements and arranged themselves in an orderly manner.“Greetings, Alpha,” they said in unison while bowing in respect. My eyes searched the area for my Beta, Anderson, and saw him walking through the sea of warriors.We greeted each ot

HeraI unconsciously moved away from her and straightened my back. My senses were heightened as I looked at the person who murdered my mother. Although I didn’t want to show her any respect, she is still the former Luna of the Blood Shadow pack, so I bowed my head.“Greetings, Luna,” I said in a strained voice.I was startled when she held onto my shoulders and guided me to stand straight.“No need for those formalities. I’m not the Luna of the pack anymore. Just think of me as a normal pack member in this house,” she smiled, her eyes brightening as she spoke. She is just as the books painted her to be. She is incredibly beautiful and dazzling, but I know better than to be deceived by her smile.“I heard the commotion from my room, so I decided to come down. Some kids are treating Reinas as an outcast just because her father left their family not too long ago. So, I’ve been trying my best to avoid any
