Blood Awakening Chapter 9: Save Her AlphaIf only it is visible, Lachlan's nose would be seen puffing of smoke. “And you expect me to believe that?!” Lachlan punched and kicked the brick wall repeatedly.There was not even a minute wasted for them to act after a single unnamed enemy had penetrated their territory. It's quite impossible to learn that had happened. They never put their securities down; to think a valuable prisoner was taken out of their range is another thing to get angry. However, hours of questioning Lily yield nothing. “I told you the truth! I don't know who it was,” Lily faintly said. She barely had her strength back from the torture she received from the twins. “Save her, Aplha. I beg you.”Lachlan wanted to disagree and cast every anger he had on his body to Lily. No one needs saving. Maridelle as presented with every facts they had on hand, doesn't need saving. She started the chaos; had a rebellion fueled because of the brutality she did to the three innocent
Blood Awakening Chapter 10: The Hell Maridelle woke up with her hands immediately massaging on her temple. It's throbbing like hell. Her vision is a bit blurry.“Shit!”“Oh, hey there, princess.”“Who are you?! Why I am here? Are you with the alliance?”She focused her vision to the person sitting with legs crossed before her. The moment her eyes adjusted to the place, her eyes grow wide in surprise.He rose from his seat located in front of the bed she is sitting.“Oh, the alliance made to catch you. How brilliant that is. Actually, that is an achievement. For a long time, the stupid government did not do such act to address a vampire killing.” He took steps and raised her chin to level his eyes. He stared at her orbs trying to figure out if the possibilities he thought were at high chance.“You must be too special to do that,” he murmured.Maridelle cannot believe the sight. But she has to confirm it. His eyes. It is only his eyes that looked familiar. His voice, she remember it c
Blood Awakening Chapter 11: In the Arms of the Alpha They had a stop at a forest clearing surrounded by large trees and thick shrubs. Definitely, their location is suitable to have a safe place to spend the night. A fortnight had passed since Lachlan took a dozen wolf guard and his Beta to search for Maridelle. Unfortunately, there was nothing fruitful.“Alpha...”“What is it, Beta Mellow?”“I'm afraid we have completely lost her.”“We will not stop searching till we found her. We will do whatever it takes.” He sighed. “She could be my mate.”Beta Mellow got silenced.“I'll take X in a run. Tell the wolves to secure the place and then they can have their rest. You should rest as well, Beta Mellow. It has been a tiring day.”After the command, Lachlan shifted. On his four feet, running is a relaxation. The wind combs his brown furs as it gracefully dances with its beats. It tickles but refreshing. His paws pounded on the forest floor and the fallen twigs snapped. He sprinted for seve
Blood Awakening Chapter 12: In the Woods With YouConfusion is showed on her face. His back is facing her with hands ready.“What are you doing?”“I'm giving you a piggy back ride, obviously,” he said without turning his face to her.The other wolves had travelled on their wolf form. By now, they had already arrived at the pack house. But Lachlan stayed close to his mate.“No need. I'm fine.”“Let me remind you that it was just four days since I rescued you. You are not well.”“Well, thank you, Alpha, but... I'm fine.”“You are slowing us. We could have reached the pack house sooner if only you agreed to take a ride on any on our wolf form or on my wolf.”She bit her lower lip. He is right. She has slowed them and what he said pierces her conscience. But he is the Alpha and she will feel embarrassed to ride on his wolf.“F-fine,” she muttered.“Hey, louder. I cannot hear you.”“I said fine. I'll accept your piggyback ride offer, just this time.”Lachlan smirked. “Then go ride on my ba
Blood Awakening Chapter 13: Safe in His ArmsMaridelle followed Lachlan. He is following a steep trail.“Where are the others?”Last night they camped in the woods. The next morning she found herself nuzzled on his muscular chest; it was embarrassing, but as she roamed her eyes, no one else is there. Now, it is her and Lachlan alone in the woods walking towards a place she certainly do not know where.“I told beta Mellow they can go ahead of us. They left last night.”Lachlan simply answered her while pushing aside the branches on their way.“Is that what you told Beta Mellow yesterday?”“Yes, Beta Mellow have left a lot of work. He needs to be there fast,” he answered thriftily. He know she has a lot of questions on her mind. He can give a definite answer all at once, but talking to her became his new favorite. Let her ask.“And I want to spend time with you,” he face
Blood Awakening Chapter 14: Sweet spotMorning 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
