[Cole]The last time something like this happened was when his parents died. The cave had exploded and spewed flaming rocks all over the village, crushing everything that stood around it. Fire was everywhere, reducing everything meaningful to useless ashes - houses, trees and people. Those who survived death suffered harsh burns that took days to heal. Cole's memory of the explosion, before and after, had eroded with time until it became a blur. Today, it was revived. Owin was lying on his bed, twisting and grunting in excruciating pain. His entire exterior had been burned, revealing the raw, pink flesh, red veins and yellowish-white blotches underneath. There were no traces of Owin; the squirming body was completely unrecognizable. The air was thickened with the bitter smell of his burnt limbs and deafened with the dense silence of the audience. Cole watched silently as Aeson, the village doctor, tended swiftly to the urging wounds. He felt a squeeze in his hand, looked d

[Cole]"I'm surprised that you brought her along. I thought Owin had told you," Jave leaned over and whispered when Dove was out of earshot. Cole kept a straight face and watched Dove as she went about the room, admiring the rich tapestry. He knew that she was really trying to listen and hoped she didn't hear this d*mn conversation. Jave continued in a quick whisper. "I hope you haven't mated with her. That cursed thing."Cole felt his fist tighten. He had to hold his anger in. As much as he wanted to shove a fist in that large round face, he knew that Jave was merely a blind follower of the rumor. But he didn't like what he heard. Worst, he wanted to take Dove to bed then and there, but something in his mind held him back. Cole glared at the weak moonlight that had found its way into the room and managed a calm voice. "That thing's still my Luna." He forced himself to turn to the wide-eyed hulk and smiled, "I appreciate all your help, Jave. Your next month's supply is on

[Dove]His hand went under my dress, sliding upwards, feeling my skin, sending more icy streaks up my spine. Another one glided up the back of my other thigh and cupped the roundness of my bottom, kneading it gently. The caress sent a new streak of quivers to my head and I moaned into his mouth. His tongue continued to drive me wild and numb. When he tore his lips away, skimming over my jaw, I took the moment to draw in deep breaths as more sensations came over me. As he sucked my collarbone, his lips going lower with every kiss he printed on my skin, he lifted my feet off the ground and pressed harder onto me. My arms went around his neck and my legs wound around his waist, anchoring my ankles on the small of his back. I held onto him tightly, gasping with need as he devoured the top swell of my soft mounds. The sweet caress of his rough lips sent more numbing chills up my back. I grabbed a fistful of his wild hair and pushed his lips harder onto me. With a grunt, he lifted

[Cole]Dove looked preoccupied towards the end of the meeting; Cole had to stop her from leaving the room. He pulled her close and she immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, flashing him a bright smile. "What's on your mind?" He couldn't help but notice his natural bluntness with her. Her eyes in a crescent moon, she whispered with a cheer in her voice, "Nothing. Why do you ask?""You look… troubled." His thumb brushed across her eyebrow and then her cheek.She shook her head, not missing her smile, then pulled him down for a kiss. There was a knock on the door and Dove hastily broke away. She tried to step aside but Cole held onto her hand and kept her near him. He was beaming inside at her blush, now that he knew they were all because of him. Jude was leaning against the doorframe, arms folded in front of him, wearing his grin. "Sorry to interrupt." Ignoring the Alpha's glare, he said, "Jave is here. He wants to see you, Cole."Cole was surprised but ready. His

[Abe]Everything was going wrong. His plan was flawless. They'd strengthen their forces and sneak a large-scale attack - the largest one ever - on the Whispering Moon Pack, kicking their Goddess-less butts out of these sacred lands. They will make history. Their secret weapon would bring down the giant Alpha during the battle. The victory was theirs. But that conceited Oscar wanted to show off to Cole, boasting that he would disable Cole by getting rid of that smart*ss Beta. In the end, he only succeeded in announcing their secret weapon to the whole f*cking world. Abe glared at the almost full moon, who was glowing peacefully back at him and forced the ale down his throat. He managed to set things right with Oscar but then that fat Edgar and womaniser Wesley went yapping, revealing more of their secrets. His plans were thwarted. Abe would have to stretch his brilliant mind again. He had just worked out a new, flawless plan when those nitwits from his pack used their sto
