Paraphrasing She remained in her room alone for the majority of the time. Even when Max knocked or her mother arrived, she never opened the door for them. She wished for some privacy so she wouldn't have to deal with her painful, stalking thoughts. Three days have passed since she got into that pointless argument with her father. It's been five days since she last saw Blake. When she begged him to listen to her, he froze to his feet and sent a distrusting glance her way. Some people might believe he's rude for ignoring her. However, they both told each other lies. It is irrelevant. It doesn't matter that he misled her about that one foolish fact. She kept several secrets from him, but she did it out of concern for his safety. When she stood up, a number of packets of chocolates and candy bars fell from her thighs. Everything came from a gift box Blake once gave her to keep on hand for times when she missed him or felt worried. She took two days to finish the entire box. She had no
One year later… “Could this day get any better?” She squealed, dropping the phone on the table and jumping on his laps. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. “Hmm.” He inhaled sharply, wrapping an arm around her waist. “I love it when you’re happy. Makes you want to kiss me whenever you are.” She bites down her lip, running her fingers through his hair. “I also love it when I kiss you too.” She brushed her nose against his and kissed him again. She moved back, placing her forehead against him and looking at him. She placed a hand on his cheek and caressed it. “Remember Max’s girlfriend I was telling you about?” He halts for couple of seconds before nodding. “Well, he told me that he just proposed to her and she said yes,” she announced. His eyes gape with astonishment, followed by excitement. “That’s… that a really great news. Azra and Skye together with a baby, max finding love and we’re getting married in a week—this is all so amazing.” Kendrix proposed to h
They glared at each other, ready to attack as they grunted heatedly. Aurora pounced towards her nemesis but unluckily, she missed and got pinned to the ground. Her nemesis groaned, retelling her who the boss was. She heaved a sigh of defeat.“Okay, fine, you win, mom. I give up,” she said, declaring defeat. Azzura chuckled softly and pushed Aurora’s head even harder to the ground, making her to wince in pain. “And?”“And you’re the best Luna the Alpha could ever get… and you’re unbeatable… can you please unpin me now? You’re crushing my head,” Aurora mumbled as she grimaced in pain. Azzura scoffed happily and got off her daughter. She sighed instantly when her mother released her.She got to her feet, arising back to her human form. Her mother did the same. “Great fight, Aurora. I have to admit, your reflexes are getting better, but it can never pass the one and only Luna of the Scuris pack.”Aurora rolled her eyes just as she chuckled. “Yeah, yeah wait till I start running my own pac
He gently cupped her cheeks and kissed her sweetly on the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks—lips. His lips lingered on hers as he emotionally declared his love for her. “How is it possible that I love you more today than yesterday? I’m sure tomorrow, I would love you even more.”Aurora rolled her eyes and giggled at his saccharine words that never ceases to make her tummy churn with butterflies. He didn’t stop. “My sweet Aurora, you are my everything. If I lose you…” He paused as his orbs darken with distress. He embraced her tightly as if afraid someone might snatch her away from his arms. His eyes suddenly glowed eerily, ready to commit a bloody massacre. “If I lose you, I will bring this entire world to an eternal termination.” He meant his words; she saw it in his eyes. It was funny to her. “Silly you, I am not going anywhere. I am yours and yours alone. Now kiss me like you’ve never did before.” As if he was waiting, he cupped her cheeks again and joined their lips together in a t
The night was unfriendly. It was the type of unfeelingness that reached into his bones, as if his heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do was keep moving, keep wandering around until he finds her. The sky was rolling blanket of cloud the color wet ash, and the ground its dank reflection. The only thing letting him see his path was his phone’s flashlight and the full moon. He heard the howl of a wolf followed by a feeble sound of the dead leaves and branches on the ground, behind the tall trees. Blake promptly turns around in trepidation as his stomach dropped. His heart hammered against his chest as if trying to get away from its place. Blake expeditiously looked around, trying to see what was lurking behind the tall trees. He knew he wasn’t alone; he just hoped it wasn’t that one thing he was mostly terrified of—a werewolf. His body went cold as a chill ran down his spine at the sight of what was on the hills. On the cre
“Mother, he freaking attacked me! And you still want him to be my mate? He’s a Goddamn psychopath…”“No, Aurora, don’t say that. Your father wants the absolute best for you…”“No, he does not! He hates me! To think I’d actually agree to mate with a lunatic like, Kendrix.”“Aurora,” Azzura called out sternly. “I’d rather become one of the Alpha’s omegas and suffer than end up with a psychopath like Kendrix…”“He is not a psychopath, Aurora! He is your chosen mate,” Azzura thundered unwittingly, her eyes shut. When Aurora didn’t retort, she opened her eyes, realizing the damage she has caused between her and her daughter. She exhales tiredly, rubbing her temple. She was drained out by Aurora constantly complaining about Kendrix when she was sure he didn’t have a problem and her daughter was being stubborn and overreacting the whole situation. She wanted the best for Aurora and she knew Kendrix was the best for her daughter. “I honestly don’t know why you’re making this such a big dea
“Skye, right?”“Yes, my lady.” He bowed his head before the Luna—his body shivering with anxiety. This was the first time he was being summoned by the Luna, Aurora’s mother.Though he has met her several times before and she was fairly nice, not only because he was her daughter’s best friend. The Luna wasn’t as cruel as the former one they had. Azzura treats everyone equally and fairly. She doesn’t treat him or the other omegas like the servants they should be to her. Though she has some of the omegas doing her chores, she still didn’t treat them badly. “You know I’ve always liked your name… so much that if I had a boy, I would’ve named him that,” she said, a smile never left her plump lips. It made him feel at ease when she smiled at him. He smiled back and nodded, “Thank you, my lady.” He bowed again. “Hmm. So, Skye… I see you’re one of Aurora’s best friends,” she mentioned, emphasizing on the two last words she stated. He snapped his head up and looked at her for a moment before
The hospital was nothing like the one he was used to back home, where the receptionist was more plastic than the purified water dispenser. Here, there was no openness, no space, nothing shines or has the smell of disinfectant. Instead, the way in is down a long hallway so narrow that if a wheelchair or trolley were to come to other way, he’d have to dip into a side room to let it go by. The walls were once painted, he could tell that from the cream flakes that remained, though mostly they show the grey undercoat or perhaps the concrete beneath that. The floor was uneven from so much traffic with both feet and wheels, and it’s darker than a mausoleum. The air was stagnant like it had just went into pit. There was no hand sanitizers on the walls, how they prevent the spread of germs here, he wonders—possibly they don’t. From ahead come muffled voices, some angry, some placating. He bite down on his lip, it wasn’t going to be fun here. In one hand, he had a bag of burger and fries,
