Dylan
I pulled the comforter on Fern's chest and kissed her forehead. She had fallen asleep crying after the truth slipped from Chelsea's lips earlier. I turned on the lampshade on her bed-side table and took one last glance before closing the door to her room. “Hi.” Chelsea greeted. I could hear the hint of nervousness in her voice. “How was Fern? I really didn't mean to hurt her. I'm sorry,” Chelsea said, sniffing for feeling guilty about what had happened.“It's okay. Cherry'll spend years in jail after convicted guilty. Fern would ask about her soon, and we'll have to tell her the truth eventually.” I opened my arm for Chelsea, and then pulled away from her, with a smile making its way to my lips. “Why are you looking at me that way, Dylan?” She asked in confusion.“I like your new lingerie. The red color is so alluring...” I mumbled in a deep, sexy vCherryA week later at the hospital.I opened my eyes when slow, heavy footsteps sounded in my ward, only to find the poker face of the chief officer."Do you have to act in such a rush? Didn't the nurse tell you that I won't get discharged until late this afternoon?!" I spat at the thought of what had happened to me back in prison.“I'm not bringing you back to prison. Alpha Dylan dropped the charges against you.” She informed me coldly, tossing me my belongings.“He did?” I asked, totally surprised, “But why? I-I...mean what happened?”“Do I look like I have all the answers to your questions?” With that, the officer left.“Do you think Dylan finally got his memory back?" I asked my wolf with great expectations. "It could be, right? First he saved me from those thugs in prison, and now this?!”My feet took me out of the ward before I even knew it. I must go back to Lord Hills right now!“Taxi! Taxi!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, stomping my feet in annoyance as they all drove pa
Cherry Just as I was rushing out of the pack house, my nose picked up Fern's sweet scent at the gate. "A party tonight?" It was Fern! A weight was finally removed from my mind. "Yes! You look forward to it?" Pushing the gate open, I saw Fern chirpping with Bert as they walked towards the pack house. "Mo..." The smile on Fern's face froze the minute she saw me, and then she just walked past me, as if I was a total stranger. "Baby, it's me. I'm mommy..." My voice shook as I reached out for Fern, trying to take her into my arms. "No! Don't touch me!" Fern dodged my hands, leaving me heartbroken. "Fern! How could you say that to your mommy?" Berted was as shocked as me. "What happened?" Heather and Chris followed over to check on Dylan and me right at this moment. "M-Mommy Chelsea t-told me...that my daddy almost got killed by h-her..." Fern pointed at me, choking. Obviously, Chelsea was brainwashing my daughter. “That's not true, baby." Heather embraced Fern gently. "Your mom
BillThe night had deepened. It was way past my routine bed time.Yet here I was, wide awake, unable to take the maid shifter off my mind.Sipping the wine from the glass, I found myself smiling, reminiscing that special charm in her. I told that charm the minute my eyes landed on her shining eyes.Nuu-Chah seldom blessed her female she-wolves with that charm. But once she did, the lucky one would get special ability along with that charm.Breathing heavily, I tried to calm my wolf down. It had been this excited for long, and finally took control over me."I must get her!" Reaching out for my phone, I decided to give Dylan a call, making another offer that he wouldn't be able to say no to in exchange for that charming shifter.Just as I took up the phone, an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.“Hi, is that Alpha Bill?”“It's me. Who's that calling?” My mind was still preoccupied with the shifter."You don't have to k
DylanLosing the last bit of sense, my wolf stormed into a thick forest, mumbling in anguish all along the way."How come I feel such huge pain when I'm supposed to be stronger after getting mated to my Luna?"YOUR WOLF LOST ITS TRUE MATE. Suddenly, Bill's words at the party sounded in my mind.“Could Bill be true? That Chelsea is not our true mate?” My wolf asked me.“That's ridiculous!” I snarled at it. "Chelsea saved my life!""That doesn't necessarily make her our mate. Believe it or not, I'm never myself when Chelsea's around.""Hey! Chelsea's willing to do whatever to protect..." I stopped when I recalled that vengeful stare she shot at Cherry at the party.It was understable that she was envious or hostile to Cherry. But vengeful? Wouldn't that be too much? If someone was supposed to be vengeful towards Cherry, wouldn't it be me?Was there something else that I missed?"Cherry! Go talk to Cherry." My wolf advised."Woul
Dylan“Dylan! I need you here. There's a commotion out here on the street. I can't handle it alone.” Bert sounded anxious.“Where is Chelsea?” My forehead knotted as the screams of angry shifters reached me via mind link.“I don't know. I can't find her.”“Try to calm them down. I'll be there right away.”Rants and shouts reached my ears before I even stepped foot on the territory of Lord Hills.“We're starving, waiting for your aid while here you do nothing but flaunt your wealth in your fancy suits and dresses!” Confronting the armed guards, a female shifter carrying a two-year-old baby in her arms shouted."Quiet! Every..." A mud landed on my chest before I barely caught my breath arriving at the scene."Dylan!" I heard Chelsea's voice and looked around for her, only to spot her hiding in a safe corner.“Take that man and kill him!” She then turned to shout at the guards before I even figured out where the mud came fr
DylanBy the time Bert and I rushed to the bedroom, there was already no trace of Chelsea.“Have all patrollers along the border watch out for Chelsea! She could be escaping!” Bert ordered Jason through mind link.“Rummage through her belongings!” My instinct reminded me just before we dashed out of the room.When I was digging around in the bedroom, a vial fell out of Chelsea's purple purse."Dylan!" Bert rushed over and picked the vial up. "Where did you get that?!""You know this vial?" I turned to him in confusion.“It's wolfsbane.”"Wolfsbane? You sure?!" My eyes widened."I cannot be more sure!" Bert's jaw clenched. "It looks exactly the same as the one we found during the war against Bloodmoon!""Bloodmoon?" I felt a total mess in my mind."Yes. After finding Cherry your true mate, you rejected Lucy, daughter of Bloodmoon's Alpha.""I did?" I still couldn't believe my ears."Out of humiliation, they st
CherryWalking back towards the gate, my wolf and I struggled as we fought the urge to look back at Dylan.Bitterness rose in my chest as I chewed over the news that Dylan got his memory back.Just as my foot was about to step upstairs, the phone in my hand vibrated. It was from Bill, asking me to his office.“What can I do for you, Alpha Bill?” I was nervous, for fear he might ask about what happened outside the house just now.“Just Bill. Call me by my name, Cherry." He gestured me over. "I got a gift for you.”“A gift?” My feeling turned surprised from being nervous.Bill opened a drawer on his office desk, and then handed me a folder.Silence fell between us as my eyes landed on the document.“Cherry Apparel...H-How do you know that I used to...?” I stuttered in disbelief."I just know. Remember I told you that I can find out whatever I want
CherryThe next day in the lounge of Lune's pack house.My hands sweat as I saw Dylan take a seat across Bill and me, his face laden with exhaustion."You want to snatch my business after taking my mate away?! No way!" Dylan was vexed after hearing Bill out."Think about it, bro. I'll be waiting for you back here." Bill was confident that Dylan would accept his offer."Dylan! Wait..." I chased Dylan out as he stormed out of the longue, only to fell heavily to the ground at the house gate."Cherry!" Hearing the loud sound, Dylan turned back and rushed to me. "Are you all right?""Think about Bill's offer, Dylan. He means well. Starsmoon needs money. Don't act on impulse." Instead of answering his question, I tried to talk Dylan into accepting Bill's offer."Your wolf is suffering too, Cherry. The link between our wolves is weakening." Instead of giving me an answer, Dylan said to me with a concerned look."Take me back, Cherry. My wolf nee
