THE MYSTERY WOLF

Ember's POVThe first thing I felt was heat. Then the smell of smoke.I knew I was hot but this hot? My eyes snapped open—holy crap, where was I? Trees everywhere, like, full-on “lost in the woods” situation, and I’m just chilling on some random rock. The moon? Just hanging up there looking smug, the stars were doing their twinkly thing, right in front of me, fire blazing away, crackling and spitting sparks. So that’s probably why my hands were all warm and sweaty. My teeth would have chattered in the cold air, but my palms?Total sauna situation. Doesn’t really add up, huh? And I noticed I was barefoot. No shoes, which seemed so not me.All right, all right. When I opened my eyes after closing them, I found myself in the same spot. Even tried to pinch myself, seemed hella painful. Okay, where the hell am I?I was with Darius in the clinic. That's the last thing I remembered. Not walking into the middle of the woods, barefoot and alone, lighting a goddamn bonfire. Even my dress, I

SWERVING MING

POV: GayleI was going to lose it. Like, actually lose it.The hideout smelled like old socks, cheap whiskey, and whatever ungodly cologne Felix had decided to bathe in today. Seriously, who wears "Alpha Dominance" on purpose? The irony was lost on him.I sat at the rusted metal table in the middle of the room, twirling my pen over a torn notepad, trying not to dry heave from the stench and the stress. Mostly the stress, though. Probably.“Gayle, can I just unload the circus going on inside my skull for a sec?” Felix blurted, shattering the silence like someone just crashed a cymbal at a library. He was pacing—again. That was his favorite pastime now. Pacing and screwing up missions.“Mm, lemme guess,” I said, not looking up. “You think the moon goddess is sending you secret messages through cereal brands?”He didn’t laugh. He never did.“I think,” he said, pausing for dramatic effect because, of course, he did, “we’re being set up. This whole thing feels off. That witch woman—our 'le

VELISE

Darius' POVMy eyes snapped open and I winced in pain.Big mistake! I shut them back.The lights in here are way too much. It’s like my whole body just hit the panic button—all my nerves screaming bloody murder. Every breath felt like swallowing shards. All I could think was, crawl under something and disappear. Kept telling myself, “Relax, you’re fine,” but—yeah, my brain just laughed in my face. My eyes popped open—and the whole room just started spinning like I’d hopped on some busted carnival ride. The walls blurred together, everything all topsy-turvy, like I’d been underwater forever and just shot up for air. Total mess.The light stung—ugh, it was brutal—but eventually things became focused. I tried to move, just a little, maybe my head or my arm, and —another shot of pain, even worse than before. It wasn’t just pain; my whole body went on strike. My skull felt like some rock band was throwing a concert in there, all drums and chaos. No way I could keep going like this.I le

WARMING UP

Ember's POVTwo whole days.Two whole and I'd been unable to get that name from my head. Velise.At this point, I might run mad from curiosity. Who is Velise?Why was she in my dream?I’d tried asking, nicely at first with smiles and hand gestures.But Kellan suddenly discovered he was too busy training warriors to talk. And Darius? His silent game seemed to have picked up more since then.I saw the effect of what the name had caused him, and goddess, it made me way more curious. Every time I brought it up, he’d just find something interesting or important that needed to be done. Fine. Be mysterious. I can be nosy.It was a bright morning, and for once, training sounded like a punishment. My legs still ached from the last session, and emotionally, I was just… done.So, I decided to do what any emotionally-frustrated girl stuck in a mansion with secrets would do.Snoop around.The mansion has many rooms that can't be toured in a day. Way too many and new hallways to notice each day.

SHE'S ALWAYS HERE

As long as you don't touch Mr foggy..She moved closer and snorted..More like we are becoming even, “Hello, Mr foggy I greeted her stuffed bunny, she's been petting all while we were talking..She replied on its behalf, “hi”..I said to the stuffed bunny: Thanks for keeping her company, while her brother kept the whole pack together from much danger.She smiled and moved closer, Of course, I know how to get them engaged, and interested, if there's anything I am actually good at doing, was me engaging kids like her, so we kept on talking, like anyone would do.. Anyone, I guess, not just anyone, but someone like me would do..I smiled at her calmness, the way she looked at me, and a sense of comfort, like she's just found a new “big sis” aside from her, wobbling brother, it's made me feel more comfortable as well, if I can't talk to the brother, of course, here is the sister..I actually thought it was some part of my imagination then-newsflash she wasn't She was just a new si

Ember was now like a safe spot for me, she feels like home again, her smile make the decorations in my room lit up so beautiful, she's so much of everything I ever prayed to the goddess to grant for my brother, he's been through hell after the death of Velise, I wish he could do better for himself, I wish he could see a new vielishe in her, before rejecting his mate. She's so full of everything he ever wanted, I really wish he could see what I am seeing in her right now, my heart beat for a space to enjoy her company, but it's looks more than a company, it's more like mum's save spot, more like mum's arm's, more like the way I was always wrapped in her soft hug that never let me out when I was tender and timid.

MOMENT TO LAST

Waking up wasn't the best idea for me, I really just want to stay all day in bed, I couldn't have asked for more.. This was the first time in many days that I had slept so graciously. The morning light didn't hurt, the room was still cozy, I stretched all of my nerves at a time, still feeling sleepy, but I still needed to stand up. I wouldn't want anyone meeting me here, not with the way I asked for too much information from yesterday, I stood up to take my leave, when a pheewww.. from a teddy bear on the floor made a whistle noise, you're leaving without a goodbye, yawning and sitting up. Is this the way of life in your pack? Now I see the reason why Dauris took you in with him, you need to learn some courtesy, Madeline Yern.. “Good morning, big mummy wolf, I am sorry for trying to run away, I need to run back to my room before Mira comes to supervise, I also need to go for training as well.. I need to place your brother's coffee, who doesn't like lateness. I'll probably com

VELISE AND THE BOND OF BLOOD

Ember felt too squished, and redressed the tight hug with a little push and awkward facial expressions, like when someone is about to make a funny, confused face. Both of them did..She said..You don't know what this means to me..As if it wasn't getting any better, some of the house workers came in with some food and drinks, she could perceive it from afar, she was just waiting for Dauris to finish his own part of the news, before running to the kitchen to see what the chef was cooking..Not knowing the food can't even wait to be in her stomach, wow. Food.. for what? Food for thought I guess, he replied with a funny face..Laughter filled the air, as the house worker saw the way both of them talked to each other like a newly wedded couple..They left them in peace and closed the door behind them. Shall we? Yeah, really famished, she didn't wait or look at Dauris to begin with, she dived into the food, salivating, oh my, this is so great. Do you like it?Yeah, I do, with a lot

BURNING STONE AND SHIMMERING TRUTHs

My heart pounds, unknown words, I stand still, not knowing what to say..But my thoughts could speak for me.Unlock her? Unlock my wolf? Our blood gave birth to Kaila and chose me, who is Venus. I have heard this name before.. How?These were the only things running through my head…No, it's not easy. Take a deep breath. That was some kind of illusion, you know, right, so you're just going to get back to the tube and finish taking your bath.That was just some flicker of your imagination, just a piece of it, you know how I have been thinking of Velise, involving her in my daily quests to be solved, this is just the result of those actions I took playing over me.. So I stepped back to the tube, found out the water had been drained out, by whom?Some minutes ago, it was filled with a lot of bubbles. How did this get drained so well without even leaving a bubble? I was really confused at this moment. I had to move closer to see if it was really out of all my vanilla-scented liquid h

STILL WANT HER

DARIUS POV. I stared at her glowing eyes which were never irresistible. I really wish I could do what my heart just told me right there, right in front of her.“Kiss her” But I can't, even if I want to, I really wanted her so badly, to feel her every breath, taste her again, and hear the sounds that come out of this fantasy, but no, how possible can it be,.. Not even when we are this close, we still feel distance, it still feels like I am so far away from reaching her, even when she is around, my heart skips at the appearance of her beauty any time she walks in through those doors.How could I have missed the sign, what must have happened for me to denyher this much, at this moment I really wish I could take back my words, I really wish I could still tell her she is my mate and I was only kidding, right, not possible, she is still my mate, but I can't admit it, I can't afford losing her, not after what I have been through, I can't take in the guilt anymore, we stood still l
