"But our wolves were destined mates, Melvin." Jennie insisted. "Perhaps what everyone told about you was a mistake. That you are one of those wolves who will uphold the written rules of our kind. Now I know that you're not." Jennie's face fell, and I felt a pang of guilt in my heart when her tears even dropped to her cheeks. I knew she valued such werewolf traditions, but it was not something my wolf could reciprocate. But before I could say anything else, we heard a weird sound coming from above us. It was enough to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Jennie suddenly noticed something above us. "Do you hear that?" she asked me frantically. "Hear what?" I asked, confused and panicked, then followed the point of her eyes. "There! Right above us!" she hissed, pointing upwards. "My wolf sensed danger in one of the rooms above us." We were in the middle of the elevator, with no way of reaching the top except by the stairs or pressing a number f
Female alpha? Wait. Are they referring to the same person that I have in mind? But why? As far as I am concerned, this female alpha did not expose her true identity to the public yet. I'm afraid there are only two person knows that she might be an alpha. Not even sure if she is one because her wolf was still as weak as mine. So how did they know about it? "A female alpha?" Jennie asked for clarification from her dad. "Did these immortals tell you who she is, didn't they? Who is she, Dad? Tell me." To my surprise, Mr. James looked me in the eye with utter conviction as though he already knows who Jennie was asking about. And from the way my wolf sensed from his eyes, he was asking me if it was true. "No," Mr. James replied right after he let go of his stare at me. "They don't tell me anything about her name or physical appearance apart from the name of the person who was close to this female alpha." Jennie heaved a sigh before she slide back to the door. "F
"So, what do you think about mating my daughter?" Mr. James said back in a serious tone. Even his eyes were telling me nothing but loving the idea. I paced my glance to the most portion of the field, searching for anyone familiar. "Don't get me wrong, Mr. James. Your daughter was gorgeous. I even wonder if she is really your daughter. But I will never be her mate." "Why?" he insisted. "I owned the school. Our family was loaded. And you still have two more years to be able to graduate. And I heard you are now a lone wolf. How do you think you can manage to accomplish anything in your situation?" Mr. James locked his eyes at me. His stares were humiliating. Even used my weakness to dig deeper into my heart. But it also makes me wonder how on earth he knows about me being a lone wolf. As far as I could remember, Karen and I told no one but Jackson. Right. How could he not know? We have a lot of students in the school who are part of the pack. With just one word f
Karen looked up at me, her eyes blazing in anger. "Aren't I supposed to be the one who should ask you that, huh, Melvin? You already knew that my blood will boil every time I could see her face. But what are you doing? Did you tell her to come over?" "Of course! What do you think I'd be here if my fated mate did not tell me about it?" Jennie admitted without even thinking, then she smiled and crossed her hand around mine before she added, "Melvin messaged me earlier to come over. Why? He did not tell you?" "Jennie, can you stop this nonsense?" I removed her hands away from me and pulled Karen closer to my chest. "No matter how hard you and your evil dad convince us to mate, that's not going to happen." "What?" Karen and Jennie blurted in unison. "What are you talking about?" Jennie added, her voice coated with surprise and confusion. I could not help but furrow despite my eyes being pointed in the other direction; away from Jennie and Karen. What the hell is go
"Come on, old man." I sneered shortly. "You may be the new leader of the pack but we all know your wolf is not that strong and powerful compared to the previous Alpha. In other words, your wolf is nothing but a scam." Everyone around me, including Karen, was taken aback by the sudden commotion. "You can fool everyone in the village but not me. You are the pack leader but you're not an alpha." I added. "Anyway, we are not here to make a scene." "We need the pack's help," Karen said, her trembling voice starting to ease off. "Have you guys heard about these masked men who are kidnapping..." As Karen kept on talking, my wolf quickly scanned most parts of the village as fast as possible to search for Julian and Jelian's whereabouts. It has been almost a month since the last time we saw and talk them. Karen and I extended our hands to help get back what truly belongs to them - the throne. We already failed to get the spot even if the fact that Karen much deserves to have it compared
"Okay, we heard you, Karen." Alex retorted, his voice barely above a whisper this time. "I think it would be best if we continue this storytelling as soon as we got back. I started to feel goosebumps right now." Karen and I exchanged glances when we just realized we are already in the heart of the forest. My wolf did not even notice we are about to enter a cave. "And better zip your mouths now," he added. "Got it," I whispered and focused on what was ahead of me. So was Karen. All I know is that my wolf simply followed the Sheriff's scent. Our noses led us deeper into the depths of the cave, the narrow passageways winding and twisting like a labyrinth. It was hard to believe that anyone could survive in such a treacherous place, but we pressed on, fueled by determination and hope. As we traversed further into the cave, our senses became heightened, our ears perked up, and our muscles tensed. A low growl escaped Karen's throat, causing me to stop dead
"Wait," Karen reached out to my hand, removing it away from the door. Her voice was laced with doubts and concerns. "Do we really have to do this? I mean, I still don't trust him." I removed Karen's grip away from me and smiled, helping her ease off her doubts. "So am I, Karen." I replied, "But we were already left with no choice. Don't worry, I'll make sure our conversation with the old man will be to our advantage." Then I clasped her fingers with mine as soon as my wolf noticed someone from the office heading to the doorway. I can feel every fiber in Karen's hand trembling. Holding Karen's hand in front of Mr. James was part of my plan. For him to know that his daughter and I are not going to happen. That my wolf was already mated to someone else. It is up to him if he still wants to give himself false hope. Meanwhile, Mr. James opened the door, looking slightly surprised to see us. "Please, come on in." he then enlarged the opening of the door for us. "Coff
Simon crossed his arms around his chest, his vampire senses heightened while scanning Jackson from head to toe. I, on the other hand, also sensed his emotion. I was trying to read what was currently running through his mind. He got out of his parent's house without telling me. And I'm pretty sure he did not tell Karen as well. Because if he did, Karen could have told me right away. "Wait." I cut off the serious mood when something cleared my worries and fears all of a sudden. "Does this mean the cops already found your parents?" Simon's expression also brightened similar to mine. "Is it true?" Simon added with an ear-to-ear smile on his face. Then he tapped Jackson's shoulder before he added, "Congratulations, buddy! It seems that the cops are more effective than us, vampires and werewolves." There was a flicker of emotion in Jackson's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. He changed the topic abruptly, saying, "It's going to get dark soon. Let's fo
