When I returned to the pack borders, it was already near dawn. A few of the guards were on their routine patrol for any intruder trying to get inside the perimeter.My thoughts were already coiled in a spiral. Somehow the thought of Daphne being the mate of my rival caused an intense ache in the pit of my heart. This mate bond was playing with my head and it definitely ruined my unhinged plans for victory.I was supposed to reject her the moment she sensed our connection, but since I learned that she was possibly mated to my enemy, it seemed that the plans for rejection would be buried in the deepest pit of the woods.She couldn't be with anyone else. If I had to lock her inside this pack so Lennon wouldn't be able to see her, so be it.'I know that you're gonna have a change of heart about Daphne . But I don't expect it to come so soon!' Dark mused. 'You want the girl as much as I do. You just won't admit it!'"Shut. Up,” I gritted.Before this little stubborn she-wolf walked i

For a second, I couldn't think of anything other than just accept the truth he was trying to bring out of my mouth. There was definitely something very special in this man which was unique to being an Alpha. Although I never liked the status of these Alphas because they had always been dominating and asserting their power over others, he seemed to be not so intimidating after all. My mind was definitely doing tricks on me because he was just a stranger who obviously rescued me and saved my life twice, but still, I should be more careful than giving him the status of being a very close person whom I trusted sincerely from my heart."No, I am not lying. Why would I lie to you, by the way?" I tried to be more confident and unhinged by his questions aimed at me."Because, my little wolf, I can feel your heartbeat. I can look through your eyes and soul." His amber eyes turned darker from all the intensity he was radiating off to me. "So tell me, what makes your face go sour as if you've dr

By the time I landed on the ground floor, those girls had already vanished into thin air. I balled my hands into fists resting on my sides as anger fuelled my veins. Oh, how foolish of me to expect that everybody would treat me nicely in this new environment. I had undergone betrayal and pain more than I deserved—both emotional and physical, so I must practice being more suspicious. I shouldn’t be trusting anyone, not even Alpha Calle because although he had provided shelter for me, his real intention was still unknown to me.“Relax, Daphne. Try to forget about what happened. Don’t make a big deal out of it.” I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. I must not allow anyone to ruin my day, especially my first day of school.I checked the slip which Miss Amelia had printed for me and learned that I was enrolled in the Senior wing of the school. Although the instructions were already stated in my notes, I still found it hard to follow, especially when locating my designated classroom becaus

“Welcome to Crimson Valley Coven, my flesh, and blood.”Aunt Crisanta gave me a cheek-to-cheek kiss while beaming. As I approached her, the sound of my heels reverberated throughout her manor's magnificent lobby."Good day, Auntie. I gave her a greeting as I took her in my arms and looked at her face. She reminds me of my mum every time I see her because they were so similar. Not twins, but they looked like each other.After that short act of affection, she separated herself from me and frowned as she gazed into my eyes. “Why do you look so unhappy?”“I’m not sad. I’m incensed!” I turned, taking a few steps away from her. My hands were starting to quaver again.“My sweet niece…”I sensed Aunt Crisanta's hands encircling my arm. “Come..." She drew me to the long couch and assisted me in getting comfortable. "Let's sit down and talk about everything that's bothering you." She raised her hand and placed it on my upper chest. "The last time we saw each other, your heart pounded like a bat

Sitting on the bench outside Miss Amelia’s office was like waiting for my death sentence. Wait, why did she have to hide there just to talk to Alpha Calle? After all, I would never be able to hear them since they were talking through mind-link. Maybe she didn’t want me to see her facial expression as she reported to the Alpha about my newest trouble.Oh, I am so dead!“Relax, girl,” I muttered, shutting my eyes. “He’s not gonna kill you. He should have done it before if he wanted you dead.” I balled my hands into fists to stop them from trembling. My whole body felt cold. It was as though my blood as well as my internal organs went ice.Why do I have to feel this fear again? Seriously I was so done… so done with getting scared of my deeds. I didn’t intend it to happen, to begin with! I only want to attend class, sit my butt in the chair for hours as I listen to the teacher’s boring discussion, and then get back to my room and hide under the blanket to sleep.Anyhow, I wasn’t scared j
