Gwen's POV I shifted into a silver werewolf and attacked the first vampire who tried to come close to me. For every attempt of an enemy toward me, I snapped his neck with one of my claws until blood flowed freely down his throat. There was no way I would go after them without getting at least a couple of hits. I could not count how many foes I had killed today, but each one left me satisfied in ways that nothing else could. I glanced to the right side and saw my parents, Vera with Valir, fighting off five vampires at once, using their claws to slash their throats open as quickly as if they were swatting mosquitoes away. On the other side, I saw the Packs, Israel, and the other witches fighting off another group of enemies. The fairies were helping out with the battle on their end as well. The shield they were casting toward us was impenetrable against any magical attack. And it was also holding back all of the attacks and then throwing them back to the enemies. The war conti
I was sitting on a large wooden log surrounded by fructiferous trees gazing out over the river's raging waters. There wasn't any sound but the crickets chirping, the breeze gently grazing my skin, and the slight rustling of the leaves around me. The night sky was fascinating, and the crescent moon shone like a gleaming diamond. Currently, I am depleting my time here as I enjoy the beautiful scenery in the middle of the night, randomly brooding and fetching fresh air. 'Hey! Do you have plans in finding your mate?' my wolf, Violet, inquired as I scrutinized the river in front of me with a frown. She knew I didn't want to discuss it very well, but she kept prodding me. I am Gwen, the noblest wolf of the Blood Moon Pack, and yes, I am different from every other member of my kind. I turned eighteen yesterday, which means I have to find my mate. However, I refused to have one, which was solace because I had no plan to meet my mate. Growing up in solitude is the finest thing ever, not bec
It was Matt in his wolf form, running through the trees at full speed toward me. He then hid behind the tree and shifted into a human form.Afterward, he showed up with his naked torso drenched in sweat and disheveled hair. But it cannot change the fact that he still looked handsome.The Alpha also walked behind the other tree, then Matt grabbed my hand and pulled me with him before Alpha could show up. "What are you doing here?""Just getting some fresh air," I mumble. "I was walking home, and he came out of nowhere.""Wrong timing, Gwen.""I know. Is he an Alpha?""Exactly. Now you have to deal with him," he uttered, hurling me a warning glare.Holy shit! This can’t be!"I never expected someone to be in this place, a dark place where danger is lurking," a baritone voice spoke behind us, and I realized it was the Alpha, who was now in his human form, seriously staring at me. If I'm being honest, he has a perfect physique, amethyst eyes, a sharp jawline, and brush-up black hair. He w
"I'll give you two days to prepare yourself because you will be staying with me after that. And I don't care even if I linger for many more weeks, months, or years. I will wait until you accept me." SAFETY of mine is the paramount goal I've been striving for, the most crucial thing in this world. This is why I cannot let anyone find me, or I'll be forced to put them to death, and if I failed, I'd be wrecked. I am glad that Alpha Ace didn't follow me or push boundaries beyond my comfort zone. I knew he was just like the other werewolf who would kill me if he found out I was the silver wolf. Walking to the living room, I was stunned when I saw mom, dad, and my sister sitting around the dining table, all watching me with worried expressions. "What's wrong, mom? Dad? Sister?" I questioned as I strode straight to the refrigerator to grab a glass of water. My sister, Filomena, had her brown hair tied into low ponytails. She wore white tights and a blue crop top with red flat shoes. She
"Are you attracted to him, Gwen?" Matt questioned as he spun around, a severe expression that could be viewed in his dark orb, which baffled me."Wait, is that even necessary?""I just wanna know. So, please be honest with your feelings."One of my brows furrowed upon hearing his utterances. How dare he ask me like that? "He's handsome, yet annoying. But if I'm being honest, I hate this place. I don't want to be with him, Matt. Why are you asking me such a ridiculous question when you were the one who urged me to deal with him."Rolling my eyes in exasperation, I shook my head and then diverted it again to his face, which seemed lost in his senses."You're acting weird. What's wrong?" I asked with curiosity as I bestowed him a concerned look.I anticipated him to convey his reason, but it was contrary to what happened next. He denied it. "Nothing. Just worried."He swiveled around only to find himself looking at nothing in particular."No worries. You'll see me often enough here," he
"You can slap me on my face. Punch me. Hurt me. If that's the only way to make you stay."I glanced at him, and his lovely orbs were staring straight at me. My heart thumped aggressively when I saw his intense stare at me, so I decided to avert my gaze again.'Why so rude to my mate?' Violet retorted as if she was dissented and was annoyed by my behavior, but I ignored her."Please, give me time to absorb everything, Alpha Ace. Sorry for being tactless, but don't think I hate you as you are."Something hot in his smile rose after I declared those words. "That's a positive view, I guess.""Oops, I'm sorry, Alpha Ace. I still don't want to have mate, marked my words."I thought he would get offended by those words, but what ensued is contrary to my assumptions. He tossed me a playful smile and said, "Everybody changed their mark after a certain point. Sometimes, people you hate at first will be the ones you love the most.""It's not always the case," I clarified, even though his words s
"I'm not mad. It's just… I'm not used to it. I told you we're contrary despite being your mate. If there's one thing I've been craving for," I trailed off, not knowing how to express myself. "That's the peace." There was a mark of perplexity as I stated those words, and I could sense his overflowing worry by the way he scrutinized every inch of my face as if he was searching for a clue. Unhesitantly, I struggled from under his embrace but stopped halfway when his fingers curled around my wrist, preventing me from leaving; he held me in place, unwilling to let go. Then he pulled me gradually toward the table, which surprised me. "Is there anything wrong?" he asked gently; the warmth in his tone made my heart stutter. "Did I offend you?" "No. That's not what I mean." "Then what? What makes you so distant? There must be a reason, and as your mate, I want you to be honest with me." I was hesitant as he took hold of my hands again, holding them tight. I looked at our joined hands for
"Well, because I thought I might be your mate."At first, I expected him to scoff at me. I should have known better; he was not one to mock someone like me with that kind of matter. But instead, he smiled, albeit a small one, and laughed suddenly. "Just kidding!"The apprehension that kept bubbling inside vanished as it quickly changed into a sigh, and I laughed slightly to conceal my emotion."The truth is I have never wished to have such. The only person who has made me happy was you." there was no indication of lies the moment he conveyed those words, just sincerity."And that's also the thing I told Alpha earlier. That you and my family are paramount of all."He nodded, clearly satisfied by my utterances. I continued walking, but then I was forced to stop when he called my name again, causing me to turn around and face him. "Yes?""Just in case you don't feel good about staying with the Alpha's house, feel free to tell me. I'll find a way to help you."His eagerness could be seen
