Confusion

AVAA low growl was the first thing I heard when I came to, and the first thing I saw was darkness.Pure and undiluted.My eyes refused to open. I couldn't tell where I was, but from the suffocating smell of disinfectant, my guess was the pack clinic. The room felt eerily quiet, yet somehow I knew whoever had growled wasn't the only one here with me.My body ached all over. The intense, terrible pain I'd passed out from had reduced to a dull throb wrapped in the tight pressure of the bandage around my arm. Fighting the fogginess in my head, I inhaled deeply, willing my eyes open when someone spoke."They saw her."Dax?The anger in his tone sent chills down my spine."They saw the mark." He growled. "What do we do? What do we tell them?""I don't know," another voice replied.Damon."You don't know?" Dax snapped. "Am I supposed to tell the Alphas waiting in the hall—the Lycan Kings expecting me in an hour—that? You should've listened to me!""And what? Your plan was more reckless than

The Third Mate

My heart skipped as I spun around."W-who's there?"All I got in reply was the distant echo of my voice, but the disturbing feeling remained.Running back to the pack house wasn't an option, and towards the boundary was just me signing up to be caught if I got there earlier than planned. Mentally choosing the less frightening option, I stood my ground."I—I know...you're there; scaring people isn't funny. Come out... or go away."If not for my stutter, I might've actually fooled myself, or at least my rapid heartbeat.Instantly, the sounds of twigs snapping under the pressure of a foot that wasn't mine filled the air as a huge figure appeared.I knew who he was before I saw him.He approached. Over six feet tall and packed with enough muscles to be deemed fit but not bulky, Alpha Draven advanced with the regality of a lord born in the 1800s who had been somehow reborn as the son of a conglomerate.Compared to the couple of times I'd seen him, I had no obstruction to my full sweep. I wa

The Move

AVAAs soon as those words were out, two of his men appeared before me.The next few minutes were a blur. I didn't get the chance to wonder where they had come from as they took my arms in a firm grip, pulling me along behind their brooding alpha.If they had watched our interaction or heard us, their stoic expressions said nothing.Honestly, I'd rather they didn't.My stomach twisted, feeling disgusted at what we just did.What I just did. And for the love of everything sensible, what he just said?Mate. Mate?Amidst everything I'd heard all day, this was the most absurd.Still reeling from the shock of the previous conversation, I silently let myself be dragged back to the pack house.My feet had just found the hardwood floor of the hallway when mumbled sounds of heated arguments filled the air."You had such development in your pack yet you decided to keep such information to yourself?"I didn't know whose voice it was, but somehow, I knew who the question was directed at."Her ge

A Different Type Of Prisoner

AVAThe next morning, when I woke up, it took me a while to remember where I was. I blinked away what I believe to have been the best sleep I'd had in the last ten years as I slowly sat up. The room was nothing like mine was in Bloodmoon. That wasn't even a room, so I didn't think the comparison made sense.Frowning, I glanced down at the extremely plush red rug I was half lying on, then back at the meticulously laid and untouched queen-sized bed. Before I could get a moment to wake up my fuzzy brain, the door opened.My head snapped up in time to see an unfamiliar figure wheeling in a cleaning cart. As soon as she turned around, a startled shriek fell from her lips.I screamed.She screamed.I screamed again, backing away into the bed.We both stared at each other with wide eyes until memories of the previous day stormed me. I jumped to my feet, causing the maid to stumble back in panic as I glanced around the luxurious room.I was in the north central.It all came back to me. After

Missing Marks

AVAYou would never even compare to her.His words from the woods echoed in my mind.He had a mate?"It's not like he'd want to kill for fun." Ella continued, "I don't know the entire story myself, but what I do know is that ever since I've been in this pack, Alpha Draven has been giving his best."Taking in the information, I pursed my lips, "You just said things have been happening.""Yeah," her voice lowered, "you know the curse? It affects him mostly during the full moon. He's been having issues controlling his wolf, so he spends most of his time in the dungeon.""And?"She glanced around, as though she were afraid someone might hear us."I don't know if I should be saying this to you.""You're just stating the truth. It's not like it's a secret." I encouraged her, curious about what she had to say."Well, in that case, I don't know how true it is, but they say something happened a few weeks ago, and since then, he rarely spends any time there again. He hasn't even had a single ep

Happy Birthday

AVADumfounded, I blinked at the woman in the mirror; she blinked back at me.My jaw slackened. "Ella?""Yes, miss?" Ella leaned closer with an expectant smile, her hands on my shoulder."W-what did you do to me?"The smile fell off immediately. "You don't like it?""How can you say that I don't—"A disbelieving gasp erupted from my throat. How do I explain to the girl staring down at me with innocent worry that I had no words to describe how I felt?I looked at the woman in the mirror once more. Then really looked at her again.Was this really me?After the unconscious display of my powers, I somehow—don't ask me how, I do not know—ended up telling Arabella about the encounter I had with Alpha Draven in the woods back at home. It was either that, or I explained why I was able to shut the door without using my hands. Or any part of my body for that matter, which I didn't think I was comfortable with, yet.It was one thing to like her, and another to trust her. Trust was a bridge I don

Astrid's Lookalike

AVA"Straighten your shoulders, miss."I did as instructed."Now, carefully place one leg after the other. Don't let your eyes wander. Focus on your goal." Ella whispered as we walked through the dead quiet dining room. If a pin dropped, we'd probably hear it."On my goal?"She paused for a millisecond, catching herself immediately. If it wasn't for our audience, I was sure she'd be growling in frustration."Why, eating dinner, of course. Have you forgotten what we came here for?"I could've begged to differ. I couldn't forget even if I wanted to. The smell of different mouthwatering dishes spread out across the table on the other side of the room would make it difficult to. I just didn’t think eating was our main goal right now. Everything we were doing had nothing to do with it.Honestly, when Arabella said the North Central was populated, I thought it was the usual large gathering of wolves. Something like the one back home.But this was an understatement.She wasn’t exaggerating d

The Tea Room

AVAEver since I'd woken up in this pack, I've found a lot of the things happening strange. For instance, when Arabella mentioned a certain Madam Matilda. It sounded like we were back to the times when all the maids in the palace were overseen by a nasty chief maid with a huge mole on her face. Everything in the North Central seemed to be stuck between the millennial and modernity, and I didn't need to guess why.I mean, their alpha was no different either.Because, tell me why they have an actual freaking tea room in this place?When Stephanie said we should get to know each other over tea, I simply thought it was a term for let's have a chat. I wasn't expecting an actual tea room.And let's not talk about the graceful ambience of the rooms we passed by on our way here. If it wasn't for Ella's awkward throat clearing, I would've been caught with my mouth unattractively dropped open and labelled as the new girl blessed to experience such luxury.Now seated, we stared at each other fr

The Dungeon

AVAThe hairs on my skin rose as we continued down a spiral stairway. We had been walking for over thirty minutes, yet we still hadn’t gotten to the said dungeon. The moment I was escorted out of the tea room, five more men were waiting at the door to lead me off.Six guards for a small me? I honestly had no idea what their alpha was thinking.Like a lamb taken to slaughter, I was placed in the middle of the line, displayed for all their pack members to see. My moment of glorification was over, and the truth was finally out in the open.I didn’t really feel bad. It was expected. But the look of horror on Arabella’s face as I was dragged away made me wish I’d at least given her a hint that there was m

Second Chance

KAELMy shoulders heaved as the sound of the door being pulled open cut through the eerie silence. I didn't need to open my eyes. I'd felt him coming long before he got to the stairs."I thought you'd come out after you're calm, but it seems like twenty-four hours isn't enough for that to happen.""If you wanted to give me time to calm down, you're doing a shitty job at it," I grumbled as his heavy footsteps resounded as he paced around the room."Well, you did a fine job ruining the place." My eyes snapped open at the sarcasm to see him rubbing a spot on the wall. "Is this blood? Someone's taking full advantage of getting his wolf back.""Thorne—"No, Kael." He spun around. "I'm pissed at you."I raised an eyebrow at him."You're pissed at me?""Cut the bullshit! This isn't the time to exercise your alpha right. Why must you do this to yourself, Kael? You had a chance. A chance to be complete again, a chance to feel whole again, yet you decided to throw it away?"My face contorted in
