Finally deciding Baras had done nothing to hurt me, Cassar let go of his throat and took a small step away from the bear. Unfortunately it was closer to me. Keeping a barrier between Baras and I."Wait. You mean, your mate refuses your mating bond, and you have to imprison her to stay with you?" Baras asked, eyes wide.At the same time, I said yes, Cassar said no. We both took a moment to glare at each other.Then for the first time I met Baras, his mouth turned into a smile. A laugh boomed from his chest as he doubled over, clutching his gut.I couldn't help but laugh with him. Cassar just glared at us both, his back straightening from his predatory stance."It is kind of funny if you think about it." I giggled.Baras wipes a tear from his eye. "It's not funny, it is sad."Cassar rolled his eyes, glaring at the two of us."I needed that." I sighed with a smile on my face, after calming down. "On that note, I'm going to go."I turned around heading for the mouth of the cave, rememberi

Harlen came from a family that were the Goddess's personal army before she disappeared. Her Blessed Warriors.When the Moon Goddess disappeared, the family refused to believe it. Now they just roam the earth waiting for her to call them back to her side."But when I was eighteen, my family and I were traveling through North America. I don't remember why, but I was fighting with one of my cousins, so I left for a couple of days to get away from them for a little while." A soft smile was our her face as she spoke about her family, but then it grew serious."While I was on my own I was running through a packs territory. We normally avoided personal territories. Sticking to unclaimed land, but I was young and arrogant. I figured no one would notice one lone wolf."Unfortunately someone did. It turned out that the wolf who caught me was the alpha. As soon as we saw each other, smelt each others scents, we knew that we were mates."My brain raced trying to think of any alphas that had died

"Shortcake, I have a key for every room in this house." He smirked at me.My eyes grew at the revelation. I glared at him. "That's an invasion of privacy you snake. And don't call me shortcake.""You call me cheesecake, I am going to call you shortcake." He nodded at me, his smirk only growing the harder I glared. "Because you're short.""Get out." I ordered, pointing at the door."Aww come on shortcake. Don't be like that." He whined.I growled at him as I flung myself on top of my pillow. I ignored the cold as my blankets were now in a clump by Cassar's feet."Why are you even hear?" I whined."We are going to go for a run." Cassar told me."A what?" I blanked."A run." He said slower. "Go outside, enjoy nature, get some exercise.""You mean to tell me, that you woke me up ridiculously early to run?"Cass gave me a flat look. "Yes.""No.""What?""I'm not going."Cassar growled. "You're going to come with me if you like it or not. So will you be leaving here with or without your dig

"You're mine." Cassar growled, ignoring his cousin."I'm not yours! Last time I checked, you can't own a person.""That's what mates are. The only person you do own. I own you and you own me.""You just proved my point. You don't own me because I am not your mate."Cassar rolled his eyes, not even bothering to acknowledge me.I looked around noticing that the other males had started to flee from the situation. Aiden turned slightly to wink at me before he shifted into his own grey wolf."What happened to the intruder?" I asked Cassar. Why was it so important to keep this intruder a secret?Cassar's face turned grave. "Do you know many foxes?""Why?""The intruder is a fox."My body froze for a mili-second. "And?""Did he come for you, or is it just a coincidence?"I doubted it was a coincidence, but was it something for me to worry about?"What colour of hair?""Pardon?" Cassar asked."What colour of hair does he have?" I asked again."Red.""Then I don't care.""You don't care?""If

Turning my hands into my claws. I jumped upon the twin who wanted turn those kids into soup. He only had time to take one step back before my claws were over his neck spilling blood.With a thud his knees hit the ground. He desperately tried clawing at his throat as the blood poured out. Then he fell forward. Laying on the ground motionless. Dead.His brother didn't even move, shocked and staring at the body of his dead twin.I didn't always resort to killing but desperate times call for desperate measures. And I don't think anyone would be missing these two."What did you do?" The living brother whispered, still staring at the body. "What did you do?""I killed him, what does it look like?" I asked, inspecting my bloodied nails."He was my brother." Then he looked at me, shouting at the top of his lungs. "That was my brother.""Well look on the bright side. Now you get the half brain all to yourself." I mocked him.That's all it took for him to lung at me. Roaring at the top of his l
