The carpeted floor rendered my steps noiseless, though it meant it's silent enough for me to hear my heart beating. A frantic, loud rhythm that contrasted with the lack of sound in the room. My eyes automatically shifted towards the bathroom door, which was left ajar. That meant Aiden couldn't be there as well. Where did he go?
Distress began coiling in the pit of my stomach; hands wrung together. It started heavily snowing outside for some time now. How could he leave me like this? What if something happened to Aiden? I thought to myself.
A lump lodged in my throat. Even though the Alpha hated me and the sight of me, I worried about him. My biology might be the reason or my omega who cannot hate him for some reason. Sitting idly in my bed for a while, I looked out of the window, shivering as the cold gust of w
The rest of the day was spent in the cabin, with Aiden making himself scarce. He came around lunchtime and made food before I could stop him. As the Alpha left for this room again, I noticed that a whole grilled sandwich was resting atop the kitchen counter.Silently, I picked the plate and ate the sandwich, trying not to smile. My teeth kept chattering at the blinding cold outside, fog tinting the windows and making it impossible to see anything clearly. That meant we had no other means to spend our time but hole up in the cabin all alone.I could hear the sound of hammering, banging followed by drilling. Aiden must be working on something which I didn't question him. The Alpha always kept to himself anyway. 
The moment I stepped into the comfort of my room, a sharp exhale forced out of my throat, legs feeling wobbly. What in the world happened? My face was bright red, cheeks too hot to touch, and my fingers shaking. I tried to focus on something else. But what do I do? In light of the storm, television and radio reception would be nonexistent, but it was way too early to fall back asleep. My omega needed to be distracted as soon as possible. The only real options were reading, writing a letter to my parents, who might not bother accepting, go in the living room and face Aiden again. Neither of which held any appeal. As I heard the crackling sound of the fire, my shoulders slumped down, and because my bedroom door was open, I could feel the room getting toasty warm. A hot shower sounded nice. But in the end, I decided to fill the tub with water. Opting for a natural form of light, I lit the vanilla scented candles.
/Aiden's POV/I couldn't stop smelling her scent throughout the cabin, even more now that we were trapped together. Sitting in the comfort of my room, I slumped nearby the window. The idea of being together for the moon forbid how long-settled like an itch under my skin, something the Alpha in me couldn't get rid of. It didn't matter if I tried to be friendly; she acted so entitled and spoiled that it got on my nerves.Just then, I heard her squeak, loud and piercing in my ears. My head whipped so quickly towards the source of the voice that I almost heard a crick in my neck. As the whimpers grew louder, I got to my feet and raced to the living room.Rose was sprawled helplessly on the ground, in pain, with the fro
The collapse of a log was enough to wake me up. I stirred, wincing as my muscles protested against the floor beneath me, a heavy body weighing me down. My fingers gripped the heavy blankets covering me. Confused, at first, I thought I was dreaming. Why would anyone be cuddling me? This couldn't be real; I couldn't be lying in a bra and panties on the floor with Aiden beside me, who was naked under covers. What even happened last night?To say my whole body was exhausted after suffering through the blizzard didn't even describe what I was truly feeling, not to mention that my throat parched as sandpaper and lips dry. Looking around, I realised that there was a small bottle of water placed by my side.Without thinking much into it, I desperately reached for it, a sigh escaping my throa
I wanted to thank Aiden for taking care of me, but the Alpha left before I had the chance to corner him. Cooking for him was out of the question after the last time. My cheeks burned as I thought back to his allergic reaction. He was pissed, and rightfully so after all the trouble, he had to endure because of me.A sigh escaped my lips. I spent the rest of the morning completing tasks usually avoid as long as possible, like cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, picking out the clothes strewn across the hallways and airing the upper floors to dry out any dampness that still clung to them from yesterday's blizzard.The cabin was just too big for one person, I thought, exhaling loudly as I made sure all the windows were opened, and there's no water leakin
I dashed straight across the border, trying not to think about the fact that if Fauna was screaming, then she must be attacked by another wolf. The pup was merely seven-year-old and I would be crushed if something happened to her. I was also aware that wolves this close to the border rarely travelled in anything other than a full-sized patrol. What type of Luna thinks about those things and not about protecting a pup?"Help me!" The small voice yelped again as I tore straight through the border and stood on the other side."Fauna!"There were three of them—the regular size for a casual patrol. One among them was a brown wolf, Alpha, and the rest were more minor tawny wolves. Those three stood in a hostile semi-circle around the tiny pup, teeth
I blinked at his words, unaffected and calm, barely letting them sink in. Why would he think that I have a gift? Growing up, my wolf was shamed, bullied and got a verbal lashing from our own Pack Alpha. They called me names. How do I know that he's not saying these things to make me feel better? Then again, Caden had no motive in lying to me or any obligation to make me feel at ease."Oh," I stammered, swiping my tongue across my bottom lip. "I don't know what to say....""You have done this before?""Multiple times. When my injuries healed sooner than others, they called me a freak of nature." My stomach plummeted as I thought back to those names, cringing as their words rang in my ears. Because of that, I didn't do the trick when oth
/Aiden's POV/"Tell us more!"I heard the childish whines of the pups the moment I entered the training ground. My eyes immediately went towards Tobias huddled in the corner, rolled onto his back as the litter piled on top of him, their tails going a hundred miles an hour as they demanded to know more. What were pups doing inside the grounds? I thought to myself, eyes searching for Liam when I remembered he had taken a day off.I found it amusing that when they were pups, all they wanted to do was learn, but by the time they got to the age where they could start training, they'd want to do anything but that. Shaking my head, I walked towards the Alphas sitting on the bench, nodding my head as they greeted me. They followed my line of vision, gazes melting at the sight of pups. I never understood pups; th
