ShannonI woke up to hear the soft chirping of the birds, I slowly sat up to find myself alone in bed. Vernon wasn't here. I looked out of the window to see the sun had risen up, it must be well past 9 o'clock.Blood was rushed to my head after I remembered what happen last night. I was intimated with another man, although we didn't have sex fully, but still..."Are you getting all shy now" Kaela chimed in."Shut up.""I wasn't wrong, right? You should definitely try more man.""I don't need to, and shut up! I don't need to have this so early in the morning."Sensing my frustration, Kaela shut up. But the image of Terry and Kaia making out came to my mind again, any regret I had instantly disappeared. There was no going back now since Terry chose his fated mate over me.Where was Vernon though?I got freshened up in the bathroom and changed into something a little more formal. He did have great taste in fashion.I walked out of his room to find a maid waiting by the door."Where's you
ShannonThere was a light knock on the door."Alpha Vernon, it's time for your meeting now," Adonis said as he stood by the door."Alright, I will leave you to it." I nodded at Vernon as I turned to leave his office, he grabbed my wrist as he was reluctant to let me go."Don't go far, okay? You can explore the Pack House, use the library or the cinema if you feel bored.""I will." I didn't want to keep other people waiting for him, so I quickly walked out of his office without turning back.I felt my stomach grumble. I was hungry. I supposed I should head to the kitchen and grabbed something to eat.As I made my way to the stair, I passed several pack members, they all nodded to me and even said good morning, as if they knew who I was. I, of course, nodded back and told them good morning as well.But this got me thinking, what was I in this Pack?After I finished breakfast, I walked around the Pack aimlessly. I found the Bloodlust Furs Pack was really different from the Crescent Manes
Shannon"Lun... Miss Shannon, are you okay?" Adonis asked me as he carefully observed the wound on my arm.I twisted my head to check the wound, it was not deep, just a scratch. So I didn't know why he cared so much about the wound."I'm okay." Still, I gave him a reassuring smile. He showed kindness, I guessed I didn't want to worry him for no reason.Suddenly there was a round of applause, a much delayed one as if everyone was waiting to know that I was alright so that they could clap their hands.I was a little bit cocky after I won, but now with their applause, I was feeling a bit embarrassed."Miss Shannon, you did very well, but I would rather you not do this again. If you are hurt during the fight, the blame would be on us." Adonis said.It was weird to hear him say this, who would blame them? Vernon? I didn't think that I mattered this much. Besides, it was just a spar, I couldn't get seriously injured just from a spar."It's fine, no one would blame you. And it was just a spa
ShannonHe didn't answer my question, instead, he looked at me with intense eyes. I was starting to feel the effect of his aura, although Vernon's aura was stronger than his, but he never intentionally let it out to intimidate me. Gosh, this guy must be related to Vernon somehow.Just when I was struggling, I heard a laugh from this guy. It was not a welcoming laugh, his tone was cold and his expression didn't change a bit."I nearly forget that he got a used good back to be his bed warmer. Didn't expect it to be you." He said in a cruel tone."What the hell, how dare he?" Kaela was mad before I could retort. Rightfully so, she always had a temper.Ever since I came here, I heard the term "used good" less. Hearing it again from his mouth made me feel disgusted. Who was he to judge if I was used good or not? I had a husband, so I was used good. What did that make them then? I was sure that they slept with more than one woman, hell, Vernon even had a harem for goddess sake!"And what ma
VernonI didn't expect to see Melvin here. I couldn't even remember the last time I saw him. But here he was, standing there threatening Shannon and me.I could tell Shannon was curious about Melvin. I only told her that Melvin was my brother. I didn't want to be associated with him somehow, certainly not in front of her. Melvin represented everything I loathed, I wanted to be as far away from him as possible."Come on, let's get your wound treated, okay?"I knew she thought it was no big deal, but when I looked down at her arm, it was swollen and raw, normally wounds like this would heal itself quickly, but somehow hers never did. It was best to get it treated.Before she could answer, I took her hand and led her to the Medbay. She said she couldn't find the way, a sign for the Medbay was needed soon I supposed.When we walked in, 2 medical staff offered their help, but I wanted to do it myself, so I told them to leave us alone. She sat down on the chair, a little tense like she wasn
Vernon"Just a little?" I asked her.I felt all the burden of confessing my past to her gone after hearing her say that. Nothing else mattered right now, Shannon was the only thing I see."Well, maybe not a little, a little bit more was the correct word.""Oh but only a little won't do, what do I need to do to have all of it?" I teased."You can have all of me right now."I stopped, not sure if she meant what I was thinking. I was holding her close at this point, her arms were still wrapped around my middle because I asked her to join our training earlier.Her soft warm body was pressed against mine, there was no space between us. I felt her sweet iris scent wafting up to my nose, mixed with the body wash I was also using. She had my scent on her as well now. This idea filled me with so much satisfaction that I couldn't even begin to comprehend it.I liked being this close to her, this close proximity gave me the illusion of our heartbeats were synchronizing. I could see how much her
TerryI couldn't contain my anger after I read the letter from the Moonhunter. What he asked for exceeded my expectation and not in a good way. I knew he would ask for Javier's land since he was the one who started this mess, but I never expect him to make me pay annual tributes.And worst of all, Shannon was not coming back to me... Why would she stay with him? Did he not show her my letter to her? Shannon loved me so much, there was no way she would stay there voluntarily. Even... Even I was the one who left her there in the first place...I couldn't help but throw my hands on the desk. This was humiliating! He attacked my Pack and now he was demanding I hand over my land and my money, I couldn't even get my wife back!How did this happen? What went wrong?After some back-and-forth negotiation, I learned that the Moonhunter was not backing down from the conditions. Of course, when did he ever back down from anything? I had already lost too much, if I ever needed to get Shannon back,
TerryWhen I opened my eyes, I was surprised to feel that I wasn't hit with the feeling of overwhelming discomfort, the kind one might feel after being in great pain. I should be covered in sweat and dirt from rolling on the ground. But when I realized I was lying in my bed, I felt surprisingly refreshed. Like someone had cleaned me and wiped away my sweat.I looked around to see Kaia resting beside the bed, she looked so tired, there were dark circles under her eyes. It seemed like she had been taking care of me the whole time.Everything rushed through my mind all at once. I lost a part of my domain, my wife Shannon stayed with the Moonhunter and had sex with someone else, and my fated mate was possibly pregnant with my child, but she had to take care of me all night... I had always been a confident Alpha, but now all I felt was that I was a loser.I didn't protect my land and my people, I wanted to keep my chosen mate and fated mate at the same time but I was about to lose them bot
