“Alpha Hakan, I did as you asked and delivered the box, to Ms. Skye.” Hakan’s hand froze a couple of centimeters away from the paper, his pen in hand, before he righted himself. He put on the pen’s cap, placing it down, before raising his head and looking at his delta, Neil. “Ho-,” he let out a cough, trying his best to push away the embarrassment creeping up on him for letting his voice crack, “How did she take it?” He was NOT, definitely not panicking inside, as he placed his hands on his lap and started fiddling with it. Neil stared at his alpha and he couldn’t help but smile, it was the man’s small action like this that shows that he was still human, that he was not the unfeeling monster that some of the members of their society had portrayed him as, just because he had challenged his father for the alpha position within their pack. “Calm down alpha. Miss Skye allowed me in her home to place down the package and she instructed me to hand this to you.” Neil took out the preciou
“I won’t repeat what I had already written in my letter, nor will ever use any other excuse for what I did. I take full responsibility for my words and actions. The moment those words left my lips, I regretted instantly and I know an apology is not enough to cover for the pain it cause you and your sister, so I will continue to carry that mistake all my life.” Skye looked at the man and Hakan stared right back to his fiancée’s blue eyes, determined to show her that he was indeed truly regretting his actions. And it shows, and Skye could see it. The proud alpha that she had met during their first meeting was nowhere to be found at the moment, instead, the man sitting across from her was slouching, hands were hidden beneath the table, probably being played by, and his onyx eyes boring a hole right through her soul. “Hakan, although I must admit, I am still incredibly pissed at you right till this moment, and even others wouldn’t be able to say otherwise. You hurt my sister for someth
There was a tale passed through generations, reaching the 21st Century, about a group of werewolves’ special mutation that brings out dormant abilities from a family’s genetic line. They were said to be marked and blessed by the moon goddess for they were the first of her followers. They were given the title of Legacy Wolves, keeping up their tradition and passing on their special traits through their children. Yet, as centuries passed by, due to their power the group was viewed as a broodmare, only there to keep a line pure and blessed. Due to this, the endangered group of wolves was forced to hide, away from natural werewolf society. Some had eventually forgotten the trait within them, living their life as normal human beings. There was one family though, that valued their tradition far greater than the rest of their kind. The sole family who still kept up with their belief was the Vailant family, a matriarchal family. It was rare for a legacy family to give birth to two legacy wo
“What the hell were you thinking?!” Those loud words woke her up from her light slumber, indescribable noises left her lips as she stretched her whole body before sitting up, trying to process the world around her. Her body fell back to the bed once more, wanting to catch more sleep only to be woken up again by another round of loud shouting. “What the fucking hell is happening?!” Various profanities left the woman’s lips as she threw off the covers before leaving her room, stomping all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen where her whole family and the loud shouting were coming from. Her fuming was halted when she saw the broken form of her twin sister, hunched over the kitchen counter and crying, cradling her stinging cheek. Their mother was a couple of inches away with her hand still raised in the air, throbbing red. “What did you do?” Her voice accusing and near dangerous as her sky-blue colored eyes instantly narrowed, zeroing in on their fuming mother. “Skye, don’t y
Skye was dreading what was to come. She wasn’t expecting these kinds of turn of events on top of her sister’s unexpected pregnancy. She tried to slow her pace as she held her twin’s hand as their mother lead them to a huge house in the heart of the forest. The double doors opened and their mother was greeted by an elder man, a family butler if Skye was guessing correctly. Their family of four was then led to a dining hall, where five people were already seating. Skye’s eyes instantly met with a pair of the darkest eyes she had ever seen in her life before she was drawn back to the owner of those eyes. Alpha Hakan. Her sister’s supposed to be husband. She let her twin lead her to her seat as her mind reeled on how they got there in the first place. The prior night before the meeting As Skye had promised, their family had settled the matter during dinner, the very same night. Thankfully enough, their parents seemed to have heeded her warning and no shouting or any kind of name-ca
Back to present Skye was given the decision of stepping out as her parents and Hakan’s family discussed things once lunch ended and with how things were going, she decided to step out. Only when she was led to the gardens was she able to let go relax and breathe freely. The tension inside the tea room of the big house was more than enough to suffocate those present. She had wished that she could take her elder twin with her but seeing as the matter concerns her, it would seem rude that she leaves. Skye was able to enjoy a couple of seconds of silence before her mind wandered back to the situation at hand. “What had you gotten yourself into Skye Vailant? You were supposed to finish college, get a job, and travel the world. Now, depending on how the conversation goes, you’ll be either free or caged.” A sigh escaped Skye’s lips as she allowed herself to fall on the wide patch of grass as her eyes stared up at her namesake. “Is marrying me really that terrible?” A deep, baritone voice
“Then it’s decided. Our Hakan and your youngest daughter, Skye will marry.” Those were the conversation Skye had walked in upon returning inside the house, and if she was a lesser being and someone who doesn’t watch herself in front of others then she would have thrashed things by the doorway before rampaging inside the room where everyone was holding the discussion. She was about to go inside the room when she heard someone breathing right behind her, acting on pure survival instinct, she turned around punching the one behind him. Before her fist could even connect with the stranger, it was caught by a hand and Skye was finally able to see who it was. “Hakan. Sorry, I thought you were….never mind.” A sigh escaped Skye’s mouth as she turned back around, just in time for the door opened and out came Hakan’s parents and hers, as well as her twin whose eyes instantly went to her twin before wandering over to the man behind her. “Ah Hakan and Skye, good thing that both of you are here.
Hakan had taken it upon himself to drive, thanking and subtly apologizing to the man that he had scared earlier once he had escorted Skye to the car. The alpha watched as Skye’s demeanor changed once more, this one being her closed and aloof side, as she stood by the car waiting for him to finish talking with the pack member. Skye watched as three muscular men came out of the lush trees beyond the garage. Watching as they made their way over to where Hakan was standing, on the other side of the car. Her sky-blue eyes drilled holes behind Hakan’s head, flashing the three muscular men a smirk whenever their eyes would wander over to where she was. “Then, I’ll be leaving Richard in charge while I go out to the city. Check the borders, I’ve been hearing talks about rogue wolves roaming around the forest from our hunters.” The man called Richard stepped up before bowing his head, as he received orders from his alpha. The three burly men left immediately when Hakan dismissed the group, tu
