I didn’t bother wasting a moment as I dropped the bomb, “Tell me what Stacy said. About that mate thing.” He pointed at my bleeding hand, which was bitten earlier by the rogue. “Let me heal you first.” I shook my head, “I can heal on my own. Stop changing the topic.” He sighed, “I waited for you to remember it on your own.” I raised my eyebrows, “What is it?” “That blood moon night.” He blurted out, “Think what happened.” I closed my eyes, wanting to remember it but still couldn’t. I groaned in frustration. “Tell me what is it?” “You’re my mate,” He said suddenly, which took me aback. But deep inside, my heart already knew it and was not even surprised by it. He grabbed my arms and pinned me on the wall, “And now that you know, I want you to know that I want to keep you safe here. As long as you’re with me. Forever..” I blinked. The thought of forever had a strange ring to me. Especially now that I don’t believe in the concept of “mates' ' ever since that night happen
Suddenly, he paused, stopping his lips on me. “I….need to stop, before I lose control, Kamilah.” I blinked at him as if a zap woke me up from my senses. I averted my gaze to the ground and bit my lip as I struggled to comprehend what just happened. That was intense. And I instantly felt the connection between us. “You might hate me tomorrow if we continue doing this.” He added, trying to reassure me. He’s right. As I could think now, I am hating him for this. For making me feel this way. For having to make my thoughts run over again, bothering and buzzing around my mind. Great. Not to mention, my heart is not stopping from beating so rapidly. I breathed deeply, fixing my stubborn hair that was messed up because of his hands and my blouse that was a bit unbuttoned and trying to think against the awkward silence between us. “I respect you as my mate, and I want to continue so badly, but I don’t want you to get caught up in the heat of the moment, to be forced because I wanted t
“But if you love her, let her go.” Owen backed me up. I knew we didn’t end on a good note with his mate Tyra getting killed but I’m just surprised at how brave he is for defending my wishes and standing up against the Alpha himself. That really takes a lot of bravery. He leaned toward me and whispered, “Just go, I’ll distract him-” “You don’t have to. I’ll let her leave.” Alpha interjected, now giving up. “Then do what you want, Kamilah. I won’t stop you from leaving my pack. But remember they will be after you, and you will be needing my help soon.” I know that. They will be after me but I will be strong. If they’ll kill me then let them. I will come at them for messing with me. And with that, Magnus didn’t even move an inch from where he stood as I started to run away. I continued running. I even looked back to see him just watching me from afar silently. I could feel long strides then followed and I didn’t have to look back to see Owen was following me. “You run fast.”
Gritting my teeth, I spit on his face and pushed him harshly, “Damn you bastard!” He’s so much worse than Alpha Magnus. Why did I even fall in love with a bastard like that? He heaved a deep breath and paused, wiping away my saliva and licking it. He gave a smirk to me, completely unaffected and I almost gagged at what he did. “I guess Alpha Magnus made you stronger but he stopped you from learning some manners.” He continued, keeping his cool, “What did he do to seduce you easily? You easily get swayed by men. Careful, that man hides a dark secret.” Something about the way that Alpha Magnus’s name leaves his mouth makes me want to punch his face. “Leave his name out of it. What do you really want from me? Say it.” I snarled. He paused, then continued as he circled around me, pacing back and forth, “Since that blood moon night, the moment Alpha Magnus helped you and attempted to kill us, he broke our treaty. And about what I want? Well, it's simple. I want you back in my pa
We got into the town first, where we were sure that we won’t get easily attacked. No sane werewolf would attack another werewolf right in front of the humans. The elders will surely assassinate them once that happens. No one would dare to do that. Thank goodness that Owen had some stash of money in his pockets as he managed to get a room for both of us. He let me take the bed and he took the sofa. Tired of today’s activities, we ate at a local restaurant and he treated me to some ice cream. “Honestly, thinking about it now, this day was hectic. I’ll definitely remember this,” He brought up, removing the tension filling the air. I chuckled, nodding along to what he said, “Yeah, me too. This was really crazy for me.” Things have been too dramatic for me these days. I’m surprised I even managed to stay alive. “So..what now? What will be our next move?” He shrugged, “Just stay away from enemies and hatch a decent plan first,” He said, his ice cream melting. I feel like I
I sighed, keeping Owen’s letter in my pockets, and opened the door. A beaming Gusev greeted me, his same old robe and wide grin, flashing his dazzling teeth at me were evident. He went inside the room without waiting for my invitation and looked around, pacing back and forth as if a supervisor was checking his employee. Shouldn’t he be hiding as the sun is up now? people are everywhere, and how did he even get here without the people wondering about his appearance. “It’s broad daylight and you walk around, showing people that you’re a vampire.” He shrugged, “I guess I’m just that dazzling for them.” He made himself home as he sat by the bed and looked at me. “I managed to get rid of the enemies last time. Don’t you want to compliment and thank me?” I sighed, he’s the same as always. “Thank you for helping me, Gusev,” I said, a bit against my own will but still saying it. He smirked, “You’re welcome, anytime, my juice box.” “What about Darian? Did you kill them all?” I c
I kneeled down, but made sure to keep a distance so he wouldn't get scared of me, “Hello there, kid.” The child looked up and I was shocked to see how silver his eyes were. His hair was blonde and he looked like he was around 7 years old…Smelling him, I instantly knew he was the same as me. He’s a werewolf too. But abandoned? “What are you doing here, child?” His stomach growled and he looked at the black garbage bag in my hand, “Please don’t shoo me away. I just need food.” He then grabbed the garbage bag from me and opened it to look for something. He found the rotten sandwich that the owner asked me to throw as it’s already expired and will cause harm to the humans. He munched on the rotten sandwich and I stood
GUSEV’S POV I’m dead but I’m still alive. I watched the humans start from scratch, building their community, their civilizations, fighting over land and territories, and ending up destroying their innovation. They were known as the smartest and most superior creatures among all, but watching them fail as a human amuses me of how ironic the truth is. Up till now, they don’t know our existence. Werewolves, vampires, and it's best that it’ll stay that way. Waking up with a monotonous routine, different times, different eras had gone by, but I never met someone who I could call my mate. I
