In the city named Skylinea, there was no daylight throughout the year. Every morning at 7 o’clock, the Rogue Alpha woke up in his bed amidst deep darkness as if it was still in the middle of the night. He stared at the plastered white ceiling for a while, and sat up, walked into the bathroom to freshen up. And then, he went into the kitchen, and started to cook breakfast. One cup of milk, two fried eggs, some bacon and onions, and broccoli. It was the breakfast he had at his human home on the day of his 18th birthday. And it was his last meal as a normal human teenager also. “When are you going to get over it?” After he set the plate on the dining table and sat down on the chair, his wolf Raven started to question him, again. “It has been 3 years. When are you going to stop drinking that stupid milk and get some real wolf food?!” The Alpha didn’t answer him. He just sat there, quietly eating his eggs. Those tall street lamps outside the building were really bright.
“Shall we continue, Alpha?” He froze there, and lost himself for too long. His Beta, Ethan, couldn’t help but ask. The girl standing inside the room looked so frightened and nervous. She tried to stay strong by biting her lip and clenching her fists after saying “Hello” and getting no response. But they were wolves. They smelt fear.Ragnar kept silent. To continue meant to ask her to take off her clothes and check her body.Behind the mirror, except for him and Ethan, were two young doctors, one female and one male. Raven started raging in his head again, roaring, “If you dare to ask her to take off her clothes in front of all those people to humiliate her. I will c/rack your head like a walnut!!!” Ragnar replied to him with nothing, just kept thinking.The rules he made for those rogues were that all those bought girls needed to be inspected to eliminate possible diseases or even a spy. No one should be the exception. And he needed to see her body by himself to confirm if she had
After Elena arrived at the hospital, which was on the second floor of this cement building, the doctor ran a full physical examination on her. Her health was in pretty bad shape. Except for those needle holes on her arms, bruises on her chest, the doctor also found overlapped bite marks on her shoulders and back. Some of them were nearly cured; some of them were still fresh. Those long blood scratches on her thighs were caused by wolf claws. It seemed like she fought with some fierce wolf repeatedly but lost a lot. And she lost her ability to heal also.“Were you born with a wolf?” Wolves who couldn’t heal themselves were very rare, nearly impossible to exist. The doctor had to consider the possibility that she had never been blessed with one.Elena chewed her bottom lip. She was lying on the examination table, eyes fixed on the bored pale ceiling-almost exactly the same ceiling she was facing every day and night back in the kingdom’s hospital.“Yes,” she whispered, but would rather
It was a small apartment with one or two bedrooms, not exactly that kind of fancy suite an Alpha would like to stay in, but more like a plain house of ordinary people.The furniture inside was pretty common but homely. There wasn’t much decoration around, just a typical single male’s apartment, a little messy but pretty clean.Elena found the light switch in the living room beside the door, but it didn’t work. She then gave up. And Ethan closed the door behind her.“Good luck,” he mouthed to her with an assuring smile before he left.And then, following that light click of the door lock, everything just sank into deep silence.There were bright tall street lamps outside, so the apartment wasn’t in complete darkness. Still, it was dark, and cold, and lonely, and somehow, stifling, like at the bottom of the ocean.Elena stood in the middle of the living room and waited for a while, still couldn’t decide what to do next.Suddenly, on the opposite of the front door, through the hallway, o
“What the hell are you doing?!”The moment Ragnar left the bedroom, his wolf Raven started to frenzy.“Are you crazy?!”“Why did you stop?!”“She kissed us!!! Didn’t you see that?!”“She likes us!”“Fuck! Ragnar! Fuck! What the hell are you doing now?!”Picking up his coat from the coat hanger, Ragnar went out directly from the front door. The elevator wasn’t quick enough. He charged downstairs through the staircases.Raven roared and nagged in his head as he always did. Ragnar didn’t reply to him until he had left the building from the side door.“She doesn’t know,” he said, walking towards the black Jeep parked outside.“Doesn’t know what?!” Raven was so sick of his dragging. “Can’t you just clear things up once and for all?! Why on earth did the Moon Goddess pair me with such a pathetic fool like you?!”“She doesn’t know we are his brother,” Ragnar replied, getting into the car, and then started the engine with the key.“So what?!” Raven was so pissed off. “We are older than him. H
Amidst the endless sand, under the darkened sky, the kingdom’s young king was throwing his tantrum very badly. Three hours ago, he charged into this death area regardless of the objection of his chief guard. Now he was stuck in the middle of it without food and water, and also lost direction.“If you could allow me to contact your father, Your Majesty,” the old chief guard begged him. He used to be the chief guard of the old king. Now he was taking care of this reckless young wolf under his father’s order.“He will send someone here to rescue us,” he said.“No!” Cory growled amidst the swirling sand. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. He and his armed troop were all in their wolf form. Yet, it didn’t make their trudge in the desert any easier. Two days ago, before he departed to the rogue’s border, he accidentally fell asleep in his office. When he woke up, it was already 10 hours later. He hopped into a helicopter and rushed to where his mate rejected him. But her smell ha
After Ragnar drove back to the city, a call came in when he extinguished the engine.He picked it up while getting out of the car. The dragon princess’s voice came from the speaker.“Hi, there, how do you like my present?” The princess chuckled at the other end of the phone. Which caused Ragnar to frown, “You mean your little husband?” he asked in a cold tone.“Hey, only husband-to-be,” the princess retorted dissatisfiedly, and then said, “I am not actually marrying that moron! It’s so stupid! He sucks in bed too, you know. I can never understand how your little girlfriend put up with it!”Ragnar pressed his lips. He hated his mate being dragged into this conversation.“So I guess the wedding is off,” he said, and then asked, “What’s on your mind, Lennie? You saved my life once, and I help you kill him. That’s the deal. I’ve never agreed to anything else.”“That’s before I found out your little brother is a complete moron,” Lennie said. “I am not going to go through all those troubles
The next day, when Elena woke up, the sky was still dark.The street lamp outside was illuminating the room exactly the same way as when she fell asleep. It felt like time had stopped in this strange city, and there would never be any sunlight.It was supposed to be depressing, but Elena felt no such thing. She was in a brisk mood as the sleep she had just had was so deep and relaxing.When that strange Alpha pulled away from her and left, she felt disappointed and confused, but that’s all of it. The experience with her ex-boyfriend had taught her lessons. She stopped overthinking about things that were out of her control.Hearing him leave the apartment, she sat up from his bed and observed his bedroom. It was a very small room, narrow and kind of messy. Books and magazines were scattered on the desk and floor-all of them were about laws and firearms. There was a picture hung on the wall at the end of the bed. Elena walked close and looked at it and then found it was a family photo.
