NORAI had a lot of convincing to do with all the members that were not ready to fight because obviously…they were not properly trained, and couldn’t fight. So the only option left was to play the evil games, the mind games. I came up with the idea that we should let some of us shake trees to give the impression that wolves were coming. To make it seem more genuine, some of them really needed to move forward and stand by me.Then came in the picture, Loralei. She told me that her father had witch potions hidden in his office. Those potions were used during wars to confuse the vampires about the number of werewolves around. In short, if drunk by a few wolves, the potions could heighten their scents and make them smell double or even triple of their real count. Beatrice was against the idea. She believed we should wait for the Alpha, and she trusted Striker to fight all the enemies alone until then. She simply stated that it would cost the whole, innocent pack members their lives if t

STRIKER‘ No, he can’t. That’s not possible? ’ I was shocked out of my mind and didn’t know what to think of it.‘ Shut up! ’ Beast roared at me.‘ Chester, it’s nice talking to you. Now clear my way. I need to go back. ’ He spoke to Chester this time, pushing me to the sidelines.Chester instantly stepped out of his way, letting the Lycan wolf walk forward. When his body moved past the Alpha’s wolf, I finally noticed the height difference. The Alpha looked like a pup compared to Beast.Once again, how was this fucking possible!? ‘ Are you feeling all better, Your Highness? ’ I heard Chester’s nervous voice in my head, and Beast and I both got startled again.‘ Uhmm…All good and well. ’ Beast replied and continued to walk, pretending that Chester’s voice didn’t scare us just now.‘ How did it happen? And where are you taking me? ’ The veil of denial was lifting.‘ Back home. ’ He replied, but sounded sketchy for some reason.‘ Why?’ I asked nervously.‘ She must be waiting. ’ He answ

NORAGetting kissed right after taking a quick nap was not what I was expecting. I was expecting to get choked instead.But Striker was in another mood—quite a strange one. Because, he was not kissing me like he wanted to chop my lips off—which was the usual thing. Instead, his lips were unmoving but hard against mine.I was trying to breathe, but it was impossible. Then, I tried to blink and found it the same—impossible.He pulled away as if he realized he was about to smother me with his kiss and rested his forehead against mine. I blinked at last and sucked in a huge breath.“ You didn’t die. ” I stated as a matter of fact.“ You didn’t let me die. ” He whispered above my lips.His eyes were closed, so I had no idea what kind of funny thoughts were running through his mind right now. On the contrary note, I felt too giddy and I didn’t know why. The emotions were so foreign right now—as if they were not even mine.“ I didn’t want to see Granny crying. That’s why I couldn’t let you d

NORA“ When you say you do it all because of Granny…you are never lying, are you? ” Striker's voice made me pause beside the bathroom door.I stared at my burned palms. He thought I almost died because of Granny. But I knew for a fact, Granny would never want me to die for him or anyone because she was my friend.I didn’t do it for her, not this time. I did it for him. The idea of him dead was not bearable.“ Beatrice…saw us. ” I blurted. “ when we…you know…when we were doing it…she came in the room and saw us. She was crying. I tried to tell you, but…I don’t know. ”Shaking my head, I pushed open the door to the bathroom and locked myself inside. Now, he would forget all about it and run off to Beatrice. That’s what he was supposed to do because he had promised himself to her even before I stumbled into his life.I wished I had come sooner. I was thinking about terrible things. I was having strange thoughts. My resolve was too strong to break down because of a man.But when the man

NORAI would have never expected this. After all the gentle talk and everything, I saw him with Beatrice. I didn’t expect it to sting so bad. This was turning ugly now.It hurt. I waited for him to come back and tell me some soothing words, but he never did.It was an hour or so after I watched the interaction, did smug Loralei informed me that Alpha King Striker went back to the Euthoria Fortress. Without me.He left the warriors for me, and I was supposed to go back with them because, of course, he couldn’t take me along as I would have slowed him down.Satan’s Buttocks! I wanted to smack that stupid King.How could he just leave me when I saved his life? But I guessed, we were even. Because he saved my life, and I saved his life.Now, I was all set to leave the pack and go back to the castle. This was a good chance to run away—I did think about it. But if I escaped from warriors, they would be held responsible for it later.I didn’t want those innocent people to get punished becau
