The Rousing Embrace
Three years earlier...“You need to choose an heir,” Diego suggested solicitously, his voice was low but vehement.I stopped taking a step toward my room when I passed my father’s office. Suddenly, I felt my wolf enlivened at the topic and forced me to stay. So instead of going on my way, I placed my ears near the open door while paying attention to my surroundings just in case someone passed and caught me listening to someone's undisclosed discussion, especially a discussion between the Alpha and his most trusted strategist.It wasn't my attention to eavesdrop. After every unjust treatment I received, nothing excites me anymore other than killing the White Stag. However, I have no idea as to why I tolerated my wolf’s inclination. I ended up taking it as my chance to find out what my father’s decision was about this important matter.At the very least, I have to admit that Diego was right and smart to have prodded this regard. At my father”s age, he was accustomed to choosing an heir

The Instantaneous Plan
Four. There are four ways to kill this arrogant shifter by laying his hands on me, let alone wrapping his arms around me, just by the use of my hunting knife hidden in one of my boots.First is by wringing his neck, which will end his life for approximately thirty seconds. Severing the trachea below the larynx to prevent him from screaming and then meeting his death. A clean and quick murder, I could say, and preferred by most of the rogues to get away with murder after executing a wolf shifter that belongs in a pack.The second one would be cutting his wrist. Although the first one was faster than cutting his wrist, however, slow death is what Alexei deserves for rejecting me five years ago. It wouldn't be as slow as five years of suffering but I know it would be worth a sight to watch.Thirdly, by stabbing his heart directly and then twisting the knife to sever all the functions that were causing his heart to beat. My hunting knife was sharp enough to get through his heart and kill

The Dissimulated Offense
“I think this will do.” Miya buried the shovel in the ground and shook off the dirt in her hands. When I remained silent beside her, she crouched down and tapped my arm. “Are you alright?”“I am,” I answered without looking at her, withdrawing my hands from flattening the soil. “I don’t think doing what’s right is what I need to do, Miya. I want to do what’s smart.” “I understand your reason,” Miya said, pertaining to the plan I told her to end my dilemma. “And forgive me for lashing out. I just feared losing you since your mate suddenly wanted to claim you back now. We used to jest about that before, and now it’s happening. It’s your choice to accept or reject him and not mine.” Dusting off the dirt in my hand, I turned to face Miya. “You’re a good friend, Miya, you know that. You are the only person who urges me to train and improve. If not for you, I wouldn't be here in front of you, in these very woods, and just locked in my room instead. But you have to trust me, okay? You and M

The Town's Diamond
“Get out, Volkov!” Fuming, I pointed at the window when his grin grew wider on his lips. “Out!”Alexei threw his hands in the air as a sign of his surrender but it only aggravated me. He headed to my window with a huge grin and the longer I gazed at those curves, the more I remembered what he did to me.“What’s wrong? Don't you want to admit it? I was just saying that you might need me to do—”Before Alexei could end up his sentence, I strode towards him and carelessly pushed him out the window, not minding if the fall could kill him or get broken bones. Either way, it was still a satisfaction for me.“Goddess...” I muttered in front of the window and then massaged the bridge of my nose with my forefinger and thumb. When I heard a long groan mixed with spite and pain from below, that’s when I knew Alexei survived.After five years of being a rogue without any protection, of course, he made it; proving to everyone that he wasn't just an ordinary shifter like others thought he was. With

The Wretched Past
Ten years ago...“It’s your fault...” Aena said, her voice full of spite, her reaction cold, as we faced the grave of our mother inside the cemetery exclusive for the fallen high members of the Calisto pack.“Aena, w-what are you t-talking about?” I asked, trying hard not to choke with my words but failed when I didn't just choke but by stutter as well.I know how much my father and Aena hated it when I involuntarily stuttered, but the longer I forced myself not to, the more it turned worse. I find it hard to speak straight when attempting beyond my capability. I, myself, hate it when I stutter. It was a sign of shame in the Alvarez family so I was advised not to talk in social gatherings my whole childhood. Others even thought that I was mute, born deaf, an illiterate child of the Alpha, or for whatever reason a child shouldn't bear. For my father, hearing those rumors is more tolerable than actually hearing me stutter.“Mother died from taking care of you...” Aena responded, which m

The Revenge Initiation
“No need for that, father...” I interrupted when Aena was away dropping to her knees while her head was held low. “This is a sister’s quarrel and it’s normal. Hearing my side and clearing things with her is all that matters. Whoever messed up my sister's room must have had a lot of nerves to dare such a thing. But I strongly suggest letting this matter go and fixing the room the way it was before, preferably before dinner.”I shot Aena a plain look before faking a sweet smile at her. Her face screamed disagreement with my decision but she never expressed her side.All of the things my father does scathingly with Aena’s meddling, I assured myself that all of it would come back to her one day. Not all at the same time, but gradually. With a spoiled like her, hungry for power and attention, Aena surely couldn't take it in one blow. It was more depressing than anyone would have imagined. If there's anyone who is familiar with those feelings, then it was me.I have no pity for my own twin

The First Release (M)
Eight hours earlier... “Unless you need me...” Alexei said with a huge grin. “Come on, Alvarez. We both know that killing a rogue is not a sin. In Canidae, it’s a boon. By killing the rogue who survived for five years, not only can you become a rogue huntress, but you can also be one of their high members given the fact that you are the Promised Wolf now. But you didn't kill me because you needed me... so do I need to guess what it is? Or you can make my life easier by telling me your plan.” Again, I underestimated Alexei. He could read me just like Mason. And nothing would exasperate me to admit that in front of Alexei, but then he left me with no choice. “You’re right, I do need you... no matter how much I wanted to reject you for us to get even, you are the only one who could help me leave this pack,” I told him and scoffed when that came out as a complaint rather than an explanation. “I don’t wish to reign the pack who never give me anything but pain and suffering. I agreed with

The Great Rogue
The silence has never been this loud. The frustration and disappointment of the Calisto pack had never arrived to an extent that their eyes widened at the same time and in the same measure. Seeing my revenge the way I wanted it to happen give me more than a sense of meaning. I was wickedly laughing inside. All the torment, disparage, and underestimation they had thrown at me in the past must have flashed before their eyes the moment my statement reached their ears. And I could not care less if they saw me as an ingrate member of the pack because I was never treated as an edge. It was foolish of them to believe that I would allow them to use me as their tool. An ornament to the pack to attract more alliances, gain favor and recognition, and boost our reputation. I knew what I deserved and I most certainly don’t deserve to be treated like that. Indeed, I am the Promised Wolf. And I would die as one, that’s for sure. The contribution I will soon render to the pack once I become the Alph

The Granted Request
No! That’s what I told myself repeatedly when I felt the urge to drop my eyes to his front. Oh, I felt it when we shared a kiss, but I never knew that witnessing his under his underpants would be ideal after the marking. My wolf would be delighted once she saw it, but I was too reticent to express my desire. I would rather keep in me than feed an arrogant shifter like Alexei what he desires to hear.I strongly held my eyes on his. “Are you seducing me?”Alexei scoffed and then flashed me his infamous grin. “Is it working?”“No,” I answered instantly, flashing exactly the opposite of what was steaming inside me. “Taunt me again and you shall regret doing so, Volkov. Don’t forget that news travels fast here in the North. You are smart, you know exactly what people would believe in every word that comes out of my mouth, whether it’s true or not. I have a rank that exceeds all the Alphas here in the North. A rumor about you being a worthless mate of mine will make you a rogue again. This

The Lost Chances
“Of course, you shall grant our request. Declining it would be a declaration of war,” Alexei stated, placing his feet on the table to continue vexing the high members. “The news must reach the Triton pack by now, they are preparing for my return with the Luna. Stopping us would not be ideal for this pack given the fact that this is small compared to what was waiting for us in Triton. Calisto would never stand a chance.”I recalled opening my mouth to express my gratitude but it was never my intention to let Alexei speak further, let alone look down on the pack I grew up in. But it was marveling how Alexei spoke those words without thinking of the consequences. It was refreshing and rather commendable. Alexei’s quality is what I lacked before I became who I am now. The only difference we have was he didn’t need to execute a White Stag to prove his courage and determination.“I beg your pardon?” my father asked out of spite, his eyes dark and grim.“Must I presume that you didn't hear m
