She stepped onto the high platform in the forest, almost cowering at the heavy dominance she could sense from the large crowd that had gathered around here tonight. Many important guests had attended this ceremony, mainly for Alpha Kodiak's sake, and it only added to the pressure she was feeling at the moment. Her Luna smiled warmly at her as she took a blanket and a set of clothes from another woman, placing them on the platform. She said to her. “Don't be nervous, Anna. Just remember your Alpha's words. You should do your duty as a member of the Stark Pride pack, so don't let us down.”“Yes, Luna.” Anna lowered her eyes at the same time she remembered her alpha's words listing the advantages of choosing Alpha Kodiak. Everyone wanted to use her situation to their advantage, but no one was worried about her heart. Once the Luna had left the scene, she began to feel the churning feeling in her guts and the uncomfortable, slow heat that spread through her body. She was filled with so

Anna tearfully packed her things into her bag with the help of her friend as she prepared to leave her pack. No one defended her this time, not even her aunty when they heard she was going to the Dark Edge pack. She felt very helplessly facing this mess all by herself with no one to help her. Most female wolves would rather slice their throats than endure such humiliation, so should she do the same thing right now? She was sure that her life in the future was going to be nothing short of hell, which made her wonder if she should just exit this world quietly…“The Dark Edge wolves are here,” Tiffany informed her, peeking through the window as the sunset glow shined through her bed. “I am so sorry, Anna.”“What about Darius? How is he doing?”Her best friend gave her an uncomfortable glance and turned away to stare at the wall as if she hadn't heard anything. Anna was about to demand an answer from her, but a deep, familiar voice responded instead. “He is getting married to his true ma

When Anna regained her consciousness, she could faintly hear some angry and soothing tones beside her which made her scrunch her eyebrows. The people around her didn't seem to notice her small actions as they conversed with one another. Eventually, she recognized one of them and tensed on the bed as she listened...“What do you mean she is still adjusting to the pack? Does it seem like I brought her here to enjoy some sort of paradise?” Kodiak growled as he paced back and forth, ranting to his Beta who had returned his mate a few minutes ago. “I am just trying to take care of your wolf, Sir. You shouldn't go savage now you have returned to the pack. The elders have been keeping an eye on you ever since they heard about the rumors.” “Do you think those old geezers can do anything to me right now?” Kodiak bared his teeth ferociously and halted at one spot, turning his back at his unconscious mate lying on the bed. “If they had the guts to face me, they would have done it from the day

Anna locked her room door to stop her mate from entering her room before she jumped on the bed crying and wailing under her bedsheets. She had gotten hungry when she woke up from a nap and reasoned that Giselle and her friends must have finished baking the cookies so she went to hunt for some food. She sensed Kodiak's return and wanted to see him so they could find a common ground. After thinking deeply for some time, she decided to try and reconcile with him, maybe he would eventually forgive her and let her go.But all of that is worthless now. She had seen and heard everything that she needed to know, and she couldn't help but feel hurt by all the words he had said about her back there. It was clear that he loathed her very existence, that was something that pained both her and her wolf because this situation was not entirely her fault at all. Her ignorance had caused her to hurt both of them, she had turned her mate into a savage wolf because of her need to be loved and her desire

Several days later, Kodiak roamed the large plot of land scanning a half-erected structure that was supposed to be the new pack orphanage with keen eyesight, revising every detail with the architect by his side as he went along the surroundings. The loud hammering sounds and machine drills helped to clear his head and keep him focused for a while, but that didn't last long because a certain person kept appearing in his mind. His proud wolf which was his other half would probably never admit it, but he could sense its longing for its mate and its restlessness about the distance between them. It was still licking its wounds from the rejection it suffered, rolling in its hatred and resentment because this was something that should never happen to a rogue wolf. His Dark Edge pack was one of the most powerful packs in the Great Landmark, along with his twin's Frost Fang pack but his men were a very peculiar species of wolves, born with rogue tendencies right from birth, unlike the rest of
