Andrei “Fuck my life. This is new. You had this tattooed on you to avoid your destiny, didn’t you? You’ve known that we’re fated mates! You were masking the bond the other night! You wanted to… avoid me?” I fire up questions at her, not believing how hilariously infuriating my life is becoming. “Does it matter? You are to talk. You had it tattooed on you first! You said you don’t care about fated mates. You’re even declaring a chosen mate…” I don’t move when she gets up from the vehicle’s hood and shakes the bottom part of her dress. “No, I’m not…” I stare at her, waiting for her reaction. “What do you mean?” Her brows furrow, probably needing more than what I just blurted. I don’t respond to her with words. Instead, I wrap my fingers around her neck and pull her closer. I might not smell her apple scent anymore, but the smell of her mouth still entices me. Before she could say a peep, I cover her mouth with mine and taste her. “Andrei...No…” She tries to resist me but s

Kayleigh Perhaps, it is the fact that this territory is literally in the middle of nowhere that outsiders underestimate the size and strength of the Blue Blood Pack. I was impressed when Gio mentioned that the Blue Blood Pack has several thousands of members in total. No wonder, Cillian and Gunner are always busy with their daily pack duties. A surge of pride fills my heart realizing the hard work Cillian does for his pack. I’m guessing, there are approximately five hundred Blue Blood wolves in attendance tonight. Most of the adults are drinking, dancing, and filling up the tables with foods and drinks while the little ones run around with cheer and joy. In a rough estimate, there are also about five hundred werewolves between the rogues, red wolves, and visiting wolf packs. It’s easy to identify the attendees who aren’t from Cillian’s pack. They wore clothing of different colors, except blue. On the other hand, Blue Bloods wore blue outfits for solidarity in representing their ro

Cillian Just moments ago, my head was soaring like the night clouds amid the bright, fireworks-lit sky, basking in delightful sentiments for being with my fated mate and finally feeling like everything is in the right place and at the right time. Hearing from Kayleigh herself that she’s carrying our wolf-pup granted me immense joy and happiness. The fleeting harmony had me overlook the dread steeping in my head since I woke up this morning. Roland’s jarring howl echoed through the ranch, prompting his clandestine army to attack. My arms wrap around Kayleigh as though it was enough to shield her and our unborn child from danger and injury. My heart is breaking, not only for the short-lived harmonious moment, but also of the realization that no matter how strong and vicious my wolf is and regardless if our wolf blood allies are vicious and fierce werewolves, the fact of the matter is, we are outnumbered. “Kill… The private army…” Kayleigh gasps, softly. “Yes. We’re under attack,

Cillian “Roland! Roland! Stop you dogs! Aaahhh!!!” Miss Bethany’s shrilling scream reverberates in the shadows of the night. “You were supposed to make sure I was untouchable, you fucking bitch!” Back in his human form, Beta Roland watches as one of his werewolves maul Miss Bethany’s legs, but not completely killing her off so that she could continue to suffer. I leap towards Roland, shifting into my wolf mid-air. I groan when I see several wolves advance my way ready to sacrifice their lives for the wicked beta while he makes a run for it. Feeling the heat on my face, I know that my eyes are flashing red, glimmering in the dark, making the werewolves hesitate to attack. As soon as I sense Gunner’s wolf next to me, we do not waste any second and immediately lunge at the enemies before they could come up with a strategy to overthrow me and my future beta. In my wolf form, I pummel my body to the tallest and heaviest wolf. Not giving him a chance to recover, I sink my sharp fangs

Cillian The rancid smell of blood deepens as lifeless bodies turn frigid on the ground. Echoes of howls and growls breaking through the woods signal more count to the beta’s private army. The sound of fighting werewolves tearing each other apart can be heard across the ranch. It’s only been over an hour but the blood spilled here is the most blood I’ve seen in my lifetime. None of all these matter to me right now. All I care about is getting to my mate and my pup. Kayleigh is bleeding. She’s hurt. They’re hurt. I cannot forgive myself if something happens to either of them. Still gripping both weapons with each hand, Kayleigh inspects the blood dribbling down to her ankles. The sight of blood on her skin weakens my knees, but I will myself not to stop running. Instead, I push myself harder, faster, and steadier. I pummel my body through a mob of beasts trying to stop me from reaching my mate. I keep my eyes on Kayleigh while I chant a prayer for her to be strong and safe. Alarm
