AriaOnce I start reading about the historical society of the Luminous Pack, I am stupefied. I so want to believe that these are all just tales, but I cannot deny the truth that is glaring right at me. It talks of the hierarchy of the pack. Apparently, these people are not even fully human! They are werewolves. Meaning they are half human and half wolf. The only consolation is that they spend most of their time in human form and only shift to their wolf form, occasionally.Cold and chilling fear grips me and all I want to do is bail and go as far from here as possible. However, the curious part of me wants to delve deeper into the secrets of this luxurious community. So, irrespective of the cold sweat I have due to fear, I continue reading. The Alpha is the leader and commands great power. The beta is second in command. He is also the alpha's right-hand man, followed by the gamma, who is third in command. The alpha's mate is called Luna and is also his equal. She holds equally the s
MannyExcitement. Complete, heartfelt excitement and gratitude are what filled my heart as I strolled back to my bedroom. I had come up with a foolproof plan to engage with my mate and it worked. Hearing her pleading with me to meet with her the next day, I was jubilant. I had a hard time controlling my emotions in her presence. Now that I am alone, I am grinning like a fool in sheer ecstasy. Taking a quick shower, I decide to go downstairs and get something to eat first. That will also give my mate some time to relax. I will reach out to her about an hour from now. Just as I dig in, Matt, my wolf decides to disturb my meal. He starts growling in my head and it gives me a headache. What he is saying through the growls is incoherent. "Calm down, Matt. I cannot hear you if you keep on growling. Tell me clearly what has got you on edge?""Mate is in danger! Go to mate. Willow tree."I do not need him to form any coherent sentences. What my wolf says is enough to get me worked up. I ha
AriaAfter finding out all I needed to about this so-called quaint community, my blood started to boil. The rage just possessed me and it was all-consuming. I left the library in a daze. Everything seemed to be so surreal and I was having a hard time composing myself. I am now just pacing up and down in the house unsure of what to do next. I have tried numerous times to reach Henna, but it seems she has no interest in picking up my calls. The frustration just adds fuel to my ever-growing rage. I have many questions but there is no one to ask. Who was that female who spoke right into my mind? What is her intention? How come I never once saw that section all the times that I have been to the library?I grab a cushion from the sofa and scream right into it. I cannot believe how my life just turned upside down. I remember being overjoyed to leave the South and come over to the West. My first impression of Hartland was quite good. However, we had to leave our very first home because of a
MannyWith every punch and kick I received from my mate, I felt a huge sense of loss. Initially, I thought that she just wanted to vent her frustrations. However, when she let out that chilling aura, the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable. At that point, I felt as if I had lost her. That left me no choice but to try something abruptly. I turned into my wolf form and she stopped. I laid down just so that she would know that I meant her no harm. I could not help the whimpers. Physically, I was not hurt, but the emotional turbulence ran deeper. I felt a deep ache right at the very core of my heart. To me, everything Aria did, was akin to rejection. Any wolf knows the pain of rejection and no sane werewolf would ever opt for that. When she sat down and put my head on her lap, it soothed my pain a bit. However, the dent her adamant rejection left on my soul was almost irreparable. As an Alpha wolf, we tend to feel everything ten times more than the other wolves. I am lying her
Unknown POVSplendid! Things are slowly developing in the right course. Surprisingly, not much effort was needed from me. I wonder why there is any disparity between the dwellers of this universe. Beast or human, they are all the same. They have the same desires.The love of power and wealth. The desire to possess unfathomable power and accumulate a ridiculous amount of wealth. It is both amusing and somewhat, pitiful. It amuses me because it is the same weakness among humans and supernatural beings alike. Even more so because it has been the same from days of yore. I feel pitiful because greed has always been their downfall as well. That dates back to those who passed before them. So, I pity their lack of either foresight or hindsight. It is as if they never learn that it is an unattainable and lofty goal. No one can attain such tremendous power and wealth and still hold on to their humanity. Wealth and power only corrode the conscience and corrupt the mind. But hey, who am I to w
Manny"Luke Reynolds, it has been three days since my son turned into his wolf and still refuses to shift back. I don't care whatever method you intend to use. I need my son back! Even if you have to use your alpha command on him, so be it!"My mother's wails bombard my ears. I can hear her and I feel her heartbreak but what to do? I have no desire to shift back at all. My mate feels close to my wolf form than my human form. Therefore, it is only fair that I grant her wishes."Ella, please calm down my dear. He will shift back soon."I can tell my father is also broken but he is trying his best to soothe mom. However, mom counters and her tone is agitated and vicious."Calm down you say? How can I calm down? You know very well that if this lasts for a week, his human side will eventually be dominated by his wolf side. He can become feral and a danger to everyone! What will you do then? Put him down because you will have no other choice? Let me tell you this now, that will be over my d
AriaIt breaks my heart every time I see the big black wolf lying motionlessly on the bed. I can sense that he has no desire to return to reality any time soon.Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who can see through his deceit. Everyone else believes that he is unconscious. However, I cannot be fooled. My master taught me all these breathing techniques a while ago. Since he has decided to guilt trip everyone, I intend to see how long he can hold up. Of course, I am not going to be villainous and expose him. To a certain extent, I am quite amused by his shamelessness. The size of his wolf and the antiques he's playing are just hilarious. How dare he throws such a tantrum?At first, even I believed him, and del quite awful for what I did to him. However, during the first night, when I snuggled closer to him, I picked up a flaw in his breathing. That is how I discovered his little secret. Everyone has been glaring at me with either hatred or resentment, especially when I ensure t
Manny"You darned sly fox, you! How dare you turn back and hug me whilst naked? If I don't beat you up today, then my name is not Aria!"She screams the moment she realizes I am naked. Aria throws a pillow at my face as she moves away backwards. She bps into my mum and gasps. Then her face turns beet red in shame. I am not sure what she is thinking, but I guess she is wondering what time they got in here and how much they saw. I look straight into her eyes and wink. Her temper flares again and she rushes towards me and starts punching me in my chest. I can tell that she is not exerting her full strength at all. From the corner of my eyes, I see my family retreat and close the door. I mindlink my mum to get me something to eat. After they go out, I grab my little mate's hands and I cannot help but gaze at her beauty."I am sorry love, can I get up now and take a shower and possibly change? Mum will send food then maybe we can talk afterwards? I am feeling sweaty and clammy as well as
