Aiden had always been the jealous type, and seeing his first love with someone else made him incredibly uncomfortable. The fact that it was his own brother only intensified his feelings of jealousy and insecurity. He couldn't help but wonder if Penelope was indeed interested in me and if she was cheating on him. Aiden's heart sank even if he was simply assuming things. He couldn't believe that his first love and brother were wearing couple clothes, something that he might have always reserved for him and Penelope. His mind, I believed, was filled with negative thoughts as he tried to process what was happening. He might not want to jump to conclusions, but he couldn't help feeling jealous and angry. He began to wonder what Penelope and I had been doing together these days and why they were wearing matching clothes. "You want to know the truth?" I glanced at Penelope's eyes for three seconds, seeking her permission to make things clear. She nodded. Aiden also n
The next morning, I did not wait for Aiden to wake up. It has been the toughest week for him because of me. He badly needs not just a week of sleep, but a year or so. So I took the opportunity to pack all my things and left the room afterward. Even though I hate the thought of being away from the only wolf whom I cared about, he and Penelope have left me with no choice. In order to protect my relationship with my brother, I have to swallow my pride for his sake. "Ethan?" a familiar voice coming from behind me suddenly breathed out my name the second I step foot out of the apartment. "What are you doing here, Lilith?" I cautiously asked her, ignoring the fact that she was with Mark and Malia. "We are not here to cause you trouble, Ethan," Mark said back. "Lilith and I are simply assisting Malia. She had something to say." he then nodded to Malia. "I am here to claim my fated mate, Brother Ethan," says Malia. And she is referring to no one but Aiden. The three of them then glance
Penelope's stunning red gown left everyone in awe as she walked into the restaurant. The bold, vibrant red color immediately caught everyone's attention, and the intricate beading woven into the fabric added a touch of elegance that was hard to miss. The gown hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her hourglass figure. The high neckline and long sleeves gave the dress a sense of modesty while adding a touch of sophistication to the whole look. As she glided across the mouth of the restaurant, the hem of her dress gracefully trailed behind her, twirling and swirling with every step she took. The back of the gown boasted a daringly low-cut design, revealing just enough skin to add a sense of mystique to the ensemble. The overall effect of the dress was breathtaking. It was simultaneously bold and powerful, yet elegant and chic. As Penelope made her way through the crowd, she seemed to command the attention of everyone in the room. All in all, Penelop
The doctor immediately helped me put Penelope's body on the stretcher and applied his knowledge of first aid. He studied her eyes and checked her stained gown and found the profound wound in her left chest. "Silver bullet," he uttered while tearing the part of her chest that got wounded, did not care even in front of her is a gorgeous well-dressed woman. "Yes," I agreed, "we were attacked by werewolf hunters and another pack of wolves in the restaurant. It was then she got shot." telling the doctor is the best thing I must do to make sure he knows about what to do to Penelope. Then he ordered me to call the mansion's nurses and forbids me to get in. My wolf could not help but pace nervously outside the operating room, waiting for news about Penelope's condition. While waiting for the result, my hands were terribly shaking while reaching out for Aiden's digits. Even if we are not in a good relationship at the moment, let alone about agreeing to mate with Malia, he stil
As the sun began to rise, Aiden's grief turned to anger. He couldn't understand how someone could be so heartless as to drug someone using a silver bullet. He found himself hating the person responsible for the incident, even though he didn't know who it was. "Are you all right?" I asked Aiden as soon as we hop into the car we will be using in searching for the werewolf hunter's whereabouts. He and I occupied the same car while the two werewolf guardians Alpha Romulo sent for us also occupied the other car. I did not get enough sleep last night when Alpha Romulo and I made some digging about the werewolf hunters. He reaches out to our pack's allies if they knew something about the werewolf hunters' whereabouts. Apart from that, I swallowed my pride to reach out to Ezekiel if he could help us find Penelope. His agreement with Alpha Romulo involves our enemies, which are the werewolf hunters. On other issues, Ezekiel and his werewolf pack don't care at all. "My
"I'm so sorry, kiddo, I don't know who that is," he uttered without any signs of hesitation. "But you did not even glance at the photo!" I stretched my hand closer to his face and insisted that he take a better look, but he dodged, went out of his desk, and tagged along with the crowd. Aiden and I exchanged glances. "He knows something," Aiden spoke before he followed the man and drags him out of the club by force which surprised everyone around him. Not that I agreed with Aiden's way of solving things, but the man left us with no choice when we don't have much time to leave for someone playing hard to get. Some of those humans want to follow Aiden outside but they all chickened out as soon as I showed them my waist with a gun in it. Then I followed Aiden outside and helped him beat the man. He hesitated to speak. But after some pressing, he finally told them that Hunter was known to frequent a cabin near the woods. Aiden and I did not waste a minute of ou
Aiden felt like he had been punched in the stomach. He had been so desperate to save Penelope that he hadn't stopped to consider the possibility that she might not make it. He had been so convinced that the silver bullet would work that he had staked everything on it. But now, with Penelope gone, he felt like he had nothing left to live for. He had been consumed with thoughts of revenge and justice, but now he realized that none of that mattered anymore. Penelope was gone, and there was nothing he could do to bring her back. I put a hand on his shoulder, and Aiden felt a glimmer of hope flicker within him. He knew that I would never leave him, that I am his brother who would stand by him through thick and thin. Even though he didn't know what he wanted to do next, he knew that he wasn't alone. The doctor then excused himself and left us to grieve. We sat in silence for a moment before Aiden spoke. "We still have to find that werewolf hunter," he said. "We still hav
As we entered the town in the middle of the night, my wolf could sense something was different about this place. The air was filled with an eerie silence, and the streets were empty, except for the debris left behind by the monster. Then we hopped out of the car and walked cautiously, keeping an eye out for any signs of the creature. "Do you think it is really a mountain lion?" Aiden uttered while holding his rifle with both arms. Because we cannot disclose our true nature in the middle of our journey, Alpha Romulo sent us some of the werewolf hunters' weapons such as daggers, crossbows, arrows, rifles, jars of powdered wolfsbane, and mountain ash. Not that I enjoy the idea of becoming and thinking like a hunter instead of using werewolf's claws and fangs, but it is the best way I could think of so the humans we could pass through will not suspect us. I mean, carrying guns are already legal in the country, as long as it will be used in accordance with the law.
