Blood Awakening Chapter 14: Sweet spot
Morning came in just a snap of fingers. Maridelle woke up with a pair of warm arms around her waist. She checked who it was just to find Lachlan cuddling her. Immediately, she checked if he got some clothes on. Maridelle cannot bear the thought of him sleeping beside her naked. For a moment, hot blood pooled on her cheeks.
Slowly, with courage, she took peek under the blanket. It's a relief to see that he is wearing clothes. The landlady must have left it outside their room for him.
She stared at him trying to familiarize every inch of his face; how he looks like when he is indulging himself in slumber; how peaceful and stress-free he is while sleeping. The back of her hand traces his face.
She smiled. So, that is how it feels waking up right next with someone you could love, hugging you lovingly. A moment later, Lachlan slowly moves. She abruptly closed her eyes trying to pretend asleep. However, the image of his ha
Blood Awakening Chapter 15: A Deal“Few more laps, Mari!” Lachlan shouted with full authority.“I've been doing this for hours! Can't I stop?”“I'll consider that as a complain. Two more laps!”Two weeks had past after they had encountered Nyx. Lachlan, who is anticipating more circumstances like that had decided to train Maridelle for her own good. She needs it for her own safety. He will not be there with her always. He needs to prepare her for a battle. If it requires to be strict to be able to do that, he wouldn't take on two minds.They are at one of Lachlan's favorites training ground. This place is situated in the center of the mountain. A cabin is erected in the center of a forest clearing where huge trees surrounds. There's a brook few meters below where they can feed themselves on fish and have clean potable water to drink. But the best thing in this place is its terrain is suitable for tr
Blood Awakening Chapter 16: Mixed Signals The rain poured hard on the muddy ground. Dirt splashed as their feet stomped on it. Their shoes are heavy, completely owned by sticky wet soil. “Come on, Lachlan!” Maridelle challenged him who is lagging behind her. A month and half has been spent and she has fully accustomed herself with the predicaments and challenges of the training. “You're a better runner than me. I admit!” he shouted back as to not let the rain drown his voice. “I did not know it either. I guess I have the best trainer in the world.” She gave him a compliment right after he reached her. Actually Maridelle is enjoying his company. Both of their body are water-soak; hair heavy with the downpour. “You learned fast.” He pushed aside the strands of hair covering her face. For a moment, both of their world stopped spinning. Raindrops are heavy on her eyelashes. Hearts beating wild. Just inches away. Just inches away and he could, if he would, might have her. “But, I
Blood Awakening Chapter 17: Captured, again?It was evening when they stealthily moved against the protective walls of the Caruso pack's territory. Beta Mellow had warned Lachlan that the alliance had put guards of their own in case he will go back with Maridelle. They cannot pass the gate safely even though his pack remained true to him.The alliance—that is comprised of representatives from wolves, humans, and vampires who stayed true to the pack—cannot believe the delay Lachlan is doing. People are clamoring and constantly complaining about the slow process of capturing the culprit. They highly believed that once the culprit got punished the insurgency will be put to an end. Disappointed, the alliance got their hopes diminished on Lachlan as well as the trust they had on him. Of all the members they expected to get things done, Lachlan is on top. He got the most horrible past with the vampires. However, with what he is acting, the table seemed to turn.
Blood Awakening Chapter 18: Say it, MariIn the darkness, two pairs of silver eyes glimmered like a pale full moon, staring at them intently, burning them like the fires of hell. Their hearts went wild and the pounding is ringing non-stop.“I can take these two,” Sebastian uttered arrogantly, full of self-confidence and ready to attack.The two wolves growled in a low tone, suppressing their anger, but are ready to attack any moment. One wrong move is all that it takes.They are looking at Sebastian with disgust. They shifted back.“Alpha, who is this?”Chello was referring to Sebastian who couldn't hide his surprise when the twins did not attack them. The twins remained faithful to their own Alpha, who in all the years, had never wronged them.Lachlan shifted and had used the garment the twins gave. “Just an annoying nobody.”“Alpha, you are not safe here. The alliance is against you. They dislike the delay you are making with the prisoners. Nyx...she told the alliance about the enco
Blood Awakening Chapter 19: Attack and EscapeLachlan scurried to meet the others who are in their respective places in the chamber. He faces them with fret.“Ready yourselves. We need to get out of here. ”His voice is serious.“What happened, Alpha?” Lily who is sitting adjacent to Amari asked.“Beta Mellow had informed me that the alliance received a tip that we are here; as a result, they had sent more of their people in my territory. Staying longer will put us in danger. We might run into trouble so better be prepared.”“You must be spying on us.”Chello is accusing Sebastian who is leaning his back against the wooden door of the chamber.“Nonesense, wolf!”Chello casted a death glare on him. Sebastian who seemed not bothered, smirked.“That's enough. Twins, I entrust you the safety of the women. You got to escape no matter what. Beta Mellow and I will face the alliance.”“Commands are clear, Alpha,” the twins said in unison.“And I'll go with them.”Sebastian volunteered. Protec
Blood Awakening Chapter 20: The Vision of the Nemesis Light has no room to exhibit itself inside his territory. Darkness with no comparison prevails inside the four corners of his chamber. Old and wrinkled, but never changed. Hodor, the ruling king of the vampires, sat on his throne, eyes closed. On his right hand is a goblet of wine.“Your highness, I am sorry to disturb you,” said an entity on her knee, kneeling before her King.His eyes are still closed. “Vamoire, speak of whatever you have for me this time.” The tone of his voice remains of that ancient times, majestic and authority oozes from every utterance.With no hesitation, Vamoire spoke, “You're favorite nephew.”Slowly, his eyes opened. He had adjusted his self on the throne, resting his back on it. Everything—all about his nephew interests him.“Carry on.”“He started acquiring human blood again.”“Vamoire, we are
XXl: Blue-Eyed Wolves Devastated. The Caruso territory is filled with fear. Lachlan has shouldered the blame for what happened. If only he arrived earlier, or if only he did not left, he wouldn't be witnessing the unfortunate circumstance. He will be able to at least protect his pack. But, the damage is done.Beta Mellow approached Lachlan who is watching sky from the view of his balcony. “Alpha, we had secured the vicinity. I had found out also that those who are behind it weren't able to get deeper into our territory. But, everything is perfectly planned. They had chosen the spot where there is lesser guards on duty on a specific time.” He breathed deeply. “I am sorry for this failure. It's my fault.”“I accept your apologies, beta Mellow. Next time this won't happen again.”“Of course. I will do my part to assure that.”Lachlan's face went serious. He has been composing the following words with deliberation considering
XXll: The Alpha Is Jealous Maridelle has completely shrugged Alpha Grego's stare that made the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She shared it to Lachlan only to know that the news of Lachlan finding his mate, had reached Alpha Grego. He was just looking at her amazed that finally Lachlan had found her mate.Maridelle got embarrassed for she thought that Alpha Grego is planning to hurt her; that he smells her mother's blood. She mistook the stare.“Looking pensive.” Sebastian interrupted Maridelle's train of thought. He sat beside her on a bleacher overlooking the huge quadrangle.She casted a deadly stare on him. “Go away. Find another bleacher to sit on.”The Blue-eyed Wolves pack territory serves as a shelter and simultaneously a school for their children. Today the pack is having a weekly training to help the young wolves to master wolfing out; to forge a strong bond with their wolves. Lachlan, volunteered to hel
