Asher sat comfortably on his Alpha throne seat. For some weird reason he didn't understand, the seat that used to itch his buttocks suddenly felt comfortable. As he leaned back in the seat, memories of two nights back reared up in his head. Proposing to Scarlett was supposed to be the major highlight of the night but it was their time in the room that hit the core. He didn't know and never imagined he would connect so deep with a werewolf in that manner. Every one of his movements she understood and he equally understood every bit of her. When he held her close, she smelt like roses. When he kissed her lips, it was like it was his first time. It was succulent and he couldn't get enough. He swallowed thickly and a smile lit up in his face. He couldn't wait to announce it to the elders. For the first time since he assumed the Alpha seat, he was the first to arrive for the council meeting. The entrance of the first elder broke him out of his thoughts. Even the elder did not hold
ASHER Many times I had found myself trapped in the snarls of these wicked elders but today was the one I probably wouldn't forget in a very long time. I scurried out of the meeting hall with the last self control I could muster. Inside one of the buildings I let out my frustration by smashing my knuckles against the wall. I suppressed my wolf back and held back my growls. “His lost daughter?” I couldn't help but laugh. That man just never ran out of evil ideas. It seemed that was the only thing he thought and the only way he lived. How did he always manage to come up with something more worse than his previous every damn fuvking time?Ethan seemed more furious than I was. I was sure he must have tried so hard to hold back during the meeting. “Does this make sense? How did he have a daughter no one else knows?” He gritted angrily. “Fine, let's agree he has a lot of women but that girl looked nothing like Silas Darkthorn. Did you see her eyes, Asher? She is dangerous!”“So what wi
“Oh, I'm sorry, Scarlett, I don't think you should go up there right now.”Scarlett Davis came to an abrupt halt at the foot of the stairs. A frown creased across her forehead as she casted a confusing look at her boyfriend’s sister, Saddy Campbell. Saddy was almost like a sister and heck she loved her but wasn't up for her games that moment. “Why? I have to see my boyfriend, your brother. Noah is up there, isn't he?” She looked past Saddy up the stairs. Legs itched her. She couldn't wait. Saddy lashes blinked but she said no words. Scarlett drew in a deep breath. Her patience was growing thin by the second. She tried to sidestep Saddy but Saddy was quick to stand in her way again. Another exasperated sigh. “What is wrong, Saddy? You need to get out of the way now. I can't keep Noah waiting.”“I don't think Noah wants to see you now, Scarlett,” Saddy blurted. Her lips tightened into a thin line. Scarlett’s eyes pinched. Saddy was always like this when she wanted something. “Ok
Scarlett felt several eyes on her as she curled herself into one of the seats in the bar. She ignored their dirty looks and continued to gulp down her drink. The night was cold and sad. Like her heart. Her throat burned at each gulp but her soul craved for more and her hands continued to pour. She was done crying. Now she was going to drink until her brains would blackout. “Look at her drinking herself to stupor.” She heard one of the girls in a table of three say. “Poor thing. I think I feel a little pity for her.”“Pfffftttt! I feel no pity for wretched bitches that don't know their place!” The first girl spat. “How dare she think she can get to be with the Alpha's son? A worthless Omega’s daughter marries the Alpha's son? Isn't that laughable?” The third girl cackled. “Fool. How she didn't know she was only being used. Noah is really smart. Worthless girls like her deserve endings like this one.”The other two laughed. “So, who is Noah's new bitch? Heard he is planning to mar
“You are very beautiful and even if your boyfriend really did break up with you today, you please my eyes. What do you say? Let's have some fun. Drinks on me.”A hiccup left Scarlet. She blinked. Before she could get a chance to refuse the strange yet tempting offer, the strange man was already walking into the club. She snapped back and after him, she ran. True, she could use some drinks. Her steps quickened as she tried to match his long stride. “Who are you and what is your name?” She asked again. He didn't stop nor said any word until they were inside the club. “Fuvk out of the way bitch!” A completely wasted guy barked at Scarlett as he growled past her. Tall man pulled her out of the way. “This way. You don't want them squeezing you in here,” he guided her out of the people packed hall towards a slightly wide and long corridor. A drunk man poked his head out of one of the rooms and began to puke. Tall man lifted his palm and covered her eyes, stopping her from seeing the
HOWLING MOON PACKTHE LYCAN ALPHA RESIDENCEThere was no way he could get rid of the memory of her no matter how much he tried. A tinge of regret washed over him. Somehow, her scent still lingered in his brain. Her long dark hair that always found a way to her face the entire night occasionally flashed in his mind. And her moans still rang in his head. He sighed regretfully. He had never intended for it to happen. But the attraction was a lot. She was so pretty when she stared up at him. Not many women dared to do that. And heck when she had bluntly asked if he wanted to sleep with her, he nearly lost his mind. Perhaps it was because he hadn't laid any woman for too long a while. He hated himself more because there seemed to be no guilt in his heart. The thought of his first mate crossed his mind. His wolf leapt ready to judge him. Asher sighed and shook his head. Not now, wolf. He rubbed his tired eyes. “Who is she?”“Who is who?” Ethan sauntered in casually. Asher jolted, gav
“Miss Scarlett Davies. You must follow us now. You have been selected as one of the women to be taken to the Howling Moon Pack.”Two of the uniformed men reached forward and grabbed her. “What?” Scarlett shrieked. “Father! You can't let them take me away!” Scarlett cried. Davies lunged forward in attack but was grabbed and held down by one of the Alpha’s guards. “Not my daughter…. unhand my daughter now…!”“That we can't do Mr Davies.”A voice came from the door. Scarlett swore she recognized that voice. And right she was as Noah entered. Her jaw dropped. “Noah? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you did this…”“I had no option, Scarlett. My father trusted me with this and I needed to make him proud. Besides, you are without a mate and still a virgin.”“You cheating lying bastard!” Scarlett charged. The men held her. She fumed glaring at Noah. The Noah she didn't recognize anymore. Had he always been this way or was she blinded by love she didn't see.“Easy now Scarly darli
SCARLETTI looked behind my shoulder. It was the girl from the vehicle. Where had she appeared from again? “You…” I gasped. She steadied me. “Get a grip, girl. You don't want to be singled out on your first day.”I swallowed back the rest of my words. The Lycan Alpha was nearing where I stood and my heart was pounding hard. I dipped my head. He stopped before me and lingered. Dear moon goddess, make him go please…“Look up,” he ordered and I froze. Seemed I prayed too late to the goddess. Slowly, I raised my face. His eyes pinched. He tilted his head and regarded me. I kept my face plain, ready and determined to quickly deny if he so much as brought up the night at the club. As long as everything was concerned, that night never happened. Then he spun without another word. “Take them to their quarter,” he commanded. Together with the Lycan elders, he strode off. Huh? Didn't he recognize me?Perhaps I was too early to think the moon goddess didn't answer my prayer. But h
