Ulric assured me that Ronther would never force me to accept him in my bed. Because the three of them knew each other since childhood and if he ever suspected one of his best friends could do such an atrocity, he never would keep their friendship.
âI know he can be a little grouchy sometimes, but he has a good heart.â Ulric said as he helped me into the library chair I loved so much.
"Sometimes? Forgive me, Ulric, but Alpha Ronther is so rude! He is always nagging and being disrespectful!â
âYes, sometimes he really is.â Ulric ran his hand over my hair. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, of course you can. Youâve been so good to me. Iâll answer wherever I can.â
âWhy the library? I mean⌠You never read anything. We have braille books, but you don't read them.â
âI didn't even know that.â I said, embarrassed.
After Ulric presents me with such books, I was happier. Luckily, my adoptive mother had taught me to read that way since I was a kid, and I cultivated the habit of reading whenever I could. Staying indoors all day, even if I helped with some chores, it gets boring sometimes.
To my surprise, two days later I was surprised by Shaun who came to visit me. He apparently wanted to know how things were going.
âThe three of us decided that we would wait until you turned twenty-one. Thus, your Lycan blood will become stronger, and we believe that any children you have after that will be more powerful.â
I took a deep breath.
âWhat if I find my fated mate?â I asked, after all, when I turned twenty-one, would I be able to meet him.
âYou will remain ours and I hope you understand that we need that power. I don't know if you're up to date with the latest developments.â Shaun spoke and then I heard him sigh in weariness. âVampires have begun to attack us and they are our mortal enemies. The strongest bands, which are ours, need to unite.â
âA child cannot be a leader. If the attacks have already started, imagine how many of these there will be in the future?â I asked as I couldn't understand their logic!
âWe know what we are doing.â He replied seriously and then, I heard his chair move closer and his breath soon touched my face. âUlric kissed you yet?â
I felt my cheeks and ears burn at that question!
âN-no!â I replied awkwardly and heard a chuckle come from Shaun.
âThen allow me.â He asked and I felt warm fingers touching my face and then something soft and warm touched my lips. That was my first kiss! I opened my mouth to breathe and Shaun deepened our kiss, squeezing me even tighter against him.
I was getting dizzy with it. A strange feeling took over my body, including between my legs.
"Having fun, Shaun?" I heard, in the distance, Ulric asking and I tried to push Shaun away, he kept hugging me, just stopped our kiss.
"Very much. In fact, I would love for you to allow Sibyl to visit me.â
âForget it.â I heard annoyance in Ulric's voice. He walked over to the two of us and carried me in his arms. âI will go with Sibyl to eat something, now.â
âYou are a killjoy!â Shaun yelled after us.
"Are you upset with me?" I couldn't help but ask Ulric.
"No." His response was curt and it made my heart sink. Ulric was very good to me, even though I went to that band as a mere slave. I had nothing to complain about him and knew that I let him downâŚ
"But I feelâŚ"
âSibyl I'm fine. I'll be fine." Ulric assured me and I could almost tell he was smiling. It was just my imagination, of course. I couldn't see it. I had no idea what he looked like physically.
He took me back to my room and pecked my lips. Without another word, Ulric had already left.
I was on cloud nine. The kiss with Shaun was totally magical. And Ulric's peck, although much faster, also caused me something funny.
We didn't get any more from the two Alphas in the week that followed.
I had heard about a festival in the nearest small town. They announced that there would be a lot of artistic shows â which I couldn't attend, of course â and, something I really liked: food.
As I walked through the gardens, imagine how I could broach the subject with Ulric, I heard a sound that I knew to be a child's cry.
I hated being blind when I needed to help someone, but no matter how willing I was, the fact that I couldn't see got in my way too much.
I was surprised not to have anyone. Normally, whenever I left the pack house, someone was around, but this time, no one. And as I got closer, terror consumed me even more. I couldn't smell any of the pack members and it was like I was in a nightmare.
I heard a rustle of plants and then a grunt. For some reason, I could only smell blood with my nose, not only wolves.
I couldn't defend myself. It was one thing for me to carry the cane Uriel had given me. It was another that I was able to run in order to save my own skin. I turned to try to run and, as expected, I fell.
Even though I couldn't see, maybe as a reflex, I closed my eyes and asked Selene to give me a quick death.
I heard another roar, coming from behind me. Then, a wind cut across my face, coming from behind and I could hear two wolves, even though my nose only smelled one of them.
I crawled in the opposite direction of the roars, until a squeak and a cracking sound told me that one of them had perished.
'Please, Selene, don't let the rogue devour me. Please!', I asked mentally.
Something landed next to me and I let out an involuntary yelp. âNo! Please don't eat me!" I asked, crying, but a hand covered my mouth. Just then I smelled him. âRo⌠Ronther? Alpha Ronther?â"Yes." He replied, exasperated. âDamn, you do have strong lungs! You could have yelled in that damned rogue's ear like that! It would have saved the bother to shred him into pieces!âI lowered my head, embarrassed.âOh, sorry, IâŚââEnough of the litany. I'll take you inside." He said and picked me up. I think it was very hard for him to be nice at least once. His torso was naked, because I myself was only wearing a tank top and a pair of jeans, so my arm was touching his chest. Ronther could only have cold and mostly unpleasant words for me. But his body was warm and cozy. I could hear Ronther's heart beating in his chest and it was a sound I liked very much. Without clothes and in this proximity, I could smell him better too.I wasn't familiar with all the smells, but there was something about
I followed the omega outside after dressing up. My mind could not get off the fact that I have the hope of healing whatever physical damage I have. I want my birthday to come soon enough. Maybe I would be able to finally see the people who bought me. And I need my eyes if I want to survive this harsh world. I stopped as the she stopped, I don't know why though. Maybe because we have already gotten outside. I smelled that familiar scent coming in my direction, Ulric. "You will be going to Ronther's pack. Sorry I did not inform you beforehand. Sometimes I don't have a say in everything." He apologized to me. Though I know he has been kind to me since I got here, I can't help but wonder why he is apologizing. He bought me after all, I should be happy they are still respecting me as a person. "Yes. I am only worried that he'll do whatever he wants with me. He doesn't like me and now I am going to his territory." I told him. I can sense his anger after I said that. Maybe I have overst
Someone who hasn't been around for days suddenly decides to force me into sleeping with him. I tried moving away, he pulled me towards himself and my leg mistakenly touched the no hard part under. I gasped, feeling hot as he held me. "Where do you think you are going?" He asked, his voice sounds too hard and husky. I stuttered, "I... I want to go to the toilet." He scoffed, his hands gripping my waist tight. I can feel his hot breath on my face. Even though I can't see it, he must be angry. I mean he is always angry for one reason or another. "What makes you think I will believe that lie? You were about to sleep. I have been gone for days, I haven't seen you. Is that how you should welcome me?" He wasn't around? I thought he did not want to see me and he did not come. But then again, who am I kidding? This man literally hates me, annoying me must be his top priority. He always reminds me what he just needs me for. Which is to be a breeder. "I didn't know... I thought...""You th
What is going to happen to me now? I may have said too much when I am not supposed to say things like that. I just couldn't control myself. I can't really tell where the anger came from. I am not usually this angry, I mean what can possibly make me this annoyed if it's not Alpha Ronther. "Well... That's a bit intense. You sure you wanna die?" Shaun asked me. I can hear Ronther's growling and felt his anger. What on earth is wrong with me? What was I thinking? I should have just let them walk all over me like they're doing. "I...I ..." No words came out of my mouth. "That's enough. You should go to your room now." Ulric said. I quickly faced any direction and started walking fast. That's until I hit a hard wall. Oh... It's not a wall, it's warm. It is a person... Ronther! I can hear his angry scoff. "Sure, you are going to blame this on your eyes." He scowled at me. "Of course, I am blind as you can see." I stated the obvious. "It's not that way Sibyl. It's this way, come I'll
How on earth is it even possible? I listened to the sound of people laughing happily. They are talking and some people seem to be selling something. I have been to a festival once so I know one. He wasn't lying. He brought me to the festival. But why? And now did he know I wanted to come? I never even talked about it with anyone. He is a psychic?"This festival will probably go one for a whole month though it is coming to an end. They celebrate and sell things at a very low price for a month." He told me even without asking him. I nodded, "Yes, I have heard of this festival before. This must be Honeytown. My mother and I have been here to buy things before, I've been hearing a lot of good things. Especially... Food." He scoffed, "People must be so jobless if they are all having a festival for a month. It's not the arrival of the moon goddess." I knew it. Why come here if he even hates it? Did he really do it for me or did Ulric ask him to do it? The same Ronther who was literally p
Pathetic. That's what I think everytime I see her. I know we need her but why did it have to be a defective one? I remember why we had to bring her to my house though. The day she almost got attacked and I saved her, I managed to convince Ulric that she is not safe with him for now. ⢠FLASHBACK â˘"I told you not to do anything against her will. Why won't you listen to me? We already promised to wait till her birthday!" Ulric scolded me. Of course he would since he feels like he is the leader now that she is in his house. I just want a damn offspring and they are not letting that happen. How can I just sit by calmly of things are not going the way I want them. It's not like we have all the time in the world. I tightened my jaw, putting on the clothes he gave me. I rolled my eyes, seeing the way he stared at me. "I don't understand why you keep defending her. We bought her already, she is supposed to just do what we want. How much time do we have left to do these kinds of things?" I
I wanted to attack Ronther for taking advantage of Sibyl. We had an agreement. He is just too impatient. How can he take advantage of the fact that she is blind to do this? We growled at each other, our claws slowly coming out. I looked at Sibyl and she is tensed. She is trying to read what is going on in the room. "Wait!" I heard Sibyl yell. We both stopped and looked at her. Ronther moved away. He has no shame, does he? Why is he standing naked and not bothering to wear something?"You are getting this all wrong! He did not bring me here to do anything. He just saved my life, which is why he must be naked." She explained. I calmed down a bit, "Is that true?" She nodded, "Yes, it is true. I think he must have brought me here because he wanted to wear his clothes before taking me to my room. Right?" Ronther scoffed, he angrily walked to his closet looking for something to wear. I bent over to Sibyl and pecked her lips. She got startled. I guess she is unable to predict it becaus
SIBYLA hand softly stroking my hair and the familiar sweet scent made me wake up from my short sleep. I already know who this is. I slowly turned, not that I see him but I know that's the direction he is facing. "Ulric?" I called him. "Yes, I am right here." He answered. I sighed in relief, maybe someone I should be happy to see. Even if he's just one of them, he is the one who makes me feel most comfortable. "Can I hug you?" He asked me. I nodded, "That's what I need right now to stop myself from shivering. I don't understand why I haven't stopped shivering since. I wonder what it would be like if I can see them." He pulled me into his arms. That sweet scent made me feel safe. I clutched into his arms tighter. "Think of anything that makes you happy. Try to drown in it. Has anything made you happy in the past few months?" I thought about it. I've been happy since I knew Ulric. He has been the sweetest person to me. But why can't I stop thinking about Ronther. He hates me, ye
