“Well, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I’m glad you are home to see me because I will leave shortly. Before that, let me make it up to you to leave home without informing you.”
He was so tall; was I that short? Wait, a minute!Leaving home?“Huh,’ I whined. ‘`You are leaving so soon, but you just came back. Can’t you stay?’“Nope, I can’t, kiddo. I'm doing this for your protection. I’ve got to go soon or else the rogues will attack you; that’s why your brother has to fight.’ he playfully poked my nose; it twinkled me as I giggled, and we both laughed happily.“I’ve got a present for you.” He announced, brought out a cute little black box, and handed it over to me.“Really?”I took it from him, opened the box, and saw a little silver necklace with my name written on it, “Oceana,” gleaming, and in the middle of my name was a blue sparkling diamond.It was the most beautiful silver I have ever seen.“It’s ravishing, isn’t it?’“Yes,” I whispered with admiration, and I couldn’t stop looking at the necklace.“It’s gorgeous, just like your eyes, love,’ he mumbled.“Thank you so much, Gérard. Thank you.” I jumped. He kissed my little cheek and hugged me, patting my back.“You are welcome, gorgeous.” He pulled away from me and squatted in front of me. “Let me help you put it on,’’ he said, taking the necklace from me.I raised my hair up with my hands and turned my back to him to help me put the necklace on, and I could feel myself getting more exquisite and ecstatic.“Thank you!” I beamed.“You are welcome, lovely.” He kissed the side of my neck.I felt a spark rush through my body for a second there, but I ignored it and smiled, dropping my hair and idolising the necklace.My wolf was so excited, and I couldn’t tell what was going on with her.“Miss me too,’ Carmine said, coming out of nowhere laughing.I smiled and went to him, giving him a hug, too.After that, I kicked his foot.“Ouch!” he winced. “What was that for? I can’t believe my little sister has turned me into such a punching bag.’ He complained.‘That’s for influencing Gerard and leaving me; take that.’ I smirked at him.“But you didn’t do that to Gerard; I’m not the only one who left you. I didn't influence him.’“He’s remorseful and not like you.’ I pointed at him, and Gerard just cracked up. “It seems like I’m her favourite, as always.’ Gerard chuckled.“Fuck you.’ He emphasised.“Hey, Gérard.” My father was walking toward us with a smile. “My sons are back,” he roared happily.“Hi, Father,’ Gerard said. He went over and gave him a big hug.“You could have told me you were both home.” Gerard pulled away from him, and Carmine went over to clutch him too.“Welcome back, Carmine.’ He said with delight.“Thank you, father.’“I just came back a while ago, Father, a couple of ten minutes ago.” Gerard added.“And the first person you saw and greeted was Oceana, not your father,’“He even brought her a necklace.’ Carmine added and winked at me.“Oh, it’s really beautiful,’ he said, appearing fascinated at the present Gerard gave me.He turned to Gerard. “And you didn’t get any presents for me.’He seemed jealous; well, I’m his favourite, anyway.“Father, you sound like a kid,” Carmine giggled.“Sorry about that; next time.” He laughed, and then my mother came along, heartily running like a kid and hugging my brothers. “You’ve both grown up so fast; look at how big you are, my sons; they must have been feeding you well over there.”“Mom, I’m good,’’ he said, smiling and kissing her on the forehead.Then Alex came along and also welcomed Gérard and Carmine by shouting with excitement.We all left, including Jessie. She was happy to see Gérard; he was her role model, and she always looked up at him.“Wow, your big brothers are back.” She shouted with delight and pounced on me, choking my neck.“Go away,’ I struggled to say, and she then released me. “You don’t have to kill me.” I coughed a little.“I’m sorry, Oceana,’ she apologised.These days were the best days of my life. Everyone also ran to him, surrounding him like a celebrity, and the clan loves him so much that he is their hero.I wish he wasn’t going back so soon, including Carmine.Gérard is my elder brother, an heir to the pack; he is ten years older than me, always showering me with care and attention since I was a baby.We were pretty close to each other, but he was always away from home due to stuff that I don’t know about.And my parents hid his affairs from me and refused to tell me the true reason my brother was always away from home.They were my older brothers, who were so protective of me when they were around, and as soon as they were done with high school, they left without a word, which pissed me off.This time, I’m not letting them off the hook.“Oceana, it’s time to be crowned,” my mom announced.I looked over the big gate as it opened up so widely.Guards came up to me and gave me an enormous animal skin to put on. I took it from them and wore it, but it stinks like dog poop.“Be quick with it, Oceana,” my mom reminded me.“Show yourself to the kingdom,” my father encouraged me. “It’s possible your wolf will come out of you as the ritual is going on.’I bobbed and walked to the gate barefoot, my white hair flowing all over my face.I was so nervous that I stopped looking at the thousands of people waiting for me to appear before them.I saw lots of blood spilled over the cold floor, stinking and gross with organs over it; I almost puked.I was terrified and shook my head, disagreeing with her. “Mom, I can’t walk over this; this is so gross. Why are there organs scattered everywhere” I covered my nose with my hand.“Don’t you dare puke, Oceana; prove to them you are a princess that could lead and protect them tomorrow; don’t act like a baby.’ My mom hushed me and handed over the dried head of a wolf to me.I nearly screamed.She closed my mouth by slapping it with her hand.“Prove it to them,” she commanded.I was shaking and looked over at Carmine, who gave me a thumbs up, and Gerard, who nodded at me to go on.I shook my head; at least Gerard would understand how scared I was.He came to me and rubbed my shoulder with a smile.“I’m scared, Gerard; there’s blood and organs all over the place. I felt like I was in the midst of thousands of dead bodies. I want to vomit. Please tell Mom not to do this.” I pleaded with him.“People are watching Oceana, but I’m here for you; do it for me, love. I will always be here to support you.’“Okay, Gerard.’ I gobbled my saliva and began walking.Slow.Everyone was watching. I was scared, hoping that I wouldn’t fall on my face. I stepped on the cold blood as my body shivered and my eyes welled up with tears.I began imagining all kinds of horror movies and being eaten alive.What kind of ritual was this?Suddenly, something moved under me.I screamed
What were they hiding? Was my father disowning Gerard, or was I thinking something unrelated?I noticed Gerard and Carmine leaving the dining table, and I had better run before I get caught.Anyway, I was going to find out someday and they can’t hide the truth from me forever on why my brothers were not always around.I got to school the next day and noticed people whispering among themselves.I don’t know why, but I lowered my head and concentrated on searching for Jessie when I felt something hot poured on my head.I jumped up, shouting panickingly and taking off anything that was on my head. To my surprise, it was pasta.An Alpha poured this on my head. I looked around and it was this girl named Beatrice; I hated her with every gut.How dare she, I growled, glaring at her.“Do you hate your life so much to do this to me?”I got such a badmouth, huh, for a ten-year-old little kid. Well, the school taught me that.“You don’t belong here, bastard, we don’t want a woofless and pathetic
Someone covered my mouth and dragged me away from there and pulled me to my room and closed the door behind him.I turned and saw Carmine glaring at me as if I was some kind of monster.‘What the hell are you doing there, peeping into someone else’s room? Are you nuts?’Carmine hardly gets angry when he is with me, he adores me. What happened now?“I…I didn’t know. The door was opened and…”He hustled me as I fell to the ground.“Shut your filthy mouth, Oceana, I don’t want to see you close to Gérard again, you have no right to invade his privacy.”“But I didn’t intentionally go meet him.” I defended myself.“I don’t give a fuck. The next time I see you do that sort of thing again, I will deal with you. You useless thing that can’t control her powers, fool,” he walked out on me and slammed the door so hard.What was that? Why was he mad at me? I just wanted to go see him. I didn’t know I would see such an incident in his room?He…he called me useless.Carmine called me a fool who could
I took the bottle of water and gulped nearly everything since I was as tasty as fuck. I was done. I took the sword beside me and threw it at him.“Take care of it, Andrew. I need to go take a clean bath.”“Alright, Oceana.’ He replied and bowed before me.My back was killing me.Anyway, I’m not so beat and a coward.That’s how strong I have become and till now, I have heard nothing from my brothers, nor did they care to speak to me.I wish I could see them, just have a word with them and ask them a lot of questions.There are some things that I want to ask them, especially Gerard.Why did he also avoid me? Did Carmine tell him what I caught him doing a few years ago?Eight years had passed and I still can’t forget about that day.He was hot.I strolled along the hallway. A guard ran towards me and bowed.“Lady Oceana, the Alpha asks for your presence.”“ Where is he?’I wanted to take a cold bath. Why is it this time he is calling me?“In his Chambers, Lady Oceana.” He answered as if h
“Nope!’ I shook my head. “I got some training to do and I would love to come with you, but I can’t.” “You are always training your ass off. Don’t you ever take a break. Come on, just go with me for once. You are an alpha, strong and beautiful. What else do you need? No one will question you and besides, loads of guys are dying to be your boyfriend. You are not gonna miss it.’ She explained. “I want to be stronger.” I blurted out. “What!” Jessie muttered. I brushed it off. “No, it’s nothing.” I walked past her. I can’t slack off. “Oceana, wait up.” She ran after me, blocking my way to my classroom. “What’s wrong, Oceana?’ She cradled my shoulders, filled with concern, her soft eyes making me smile. “It’s nothing.” I giggled. “I know you.” She began with a sigh. “You are not useless. You are not a fool or anything, stop pushing yourself so hard, nobody hates you or dislikes you if that’s the right word but don’t take what your brother said to you years ago to heart, you are speci
I was excited to see him as well. He seemed more muscular and handsome than the last time I saw him. He has grown well. ‘`Thanks for coming to pick me up at the airport even though you said you were tired and jetlagged.’ He appreciated me as he tapped my shoulder. “I just felt like walking around California since I just came back from the cold winter in England, my furs it’s been screaming for some warmth,” I confessed. Yeah, that’s right. So cold. My wolf agreed with me. “Yeah, wouldn’t you warm your bed with a woman if you felt so cold?’ He teased me. “Carmine.’ I cautioned. I felt embarrassed. He was so loud. He laughed. “You changed while you were in England. I see it in you.” “Yeah, I just shifted into my wolf's form alone and it was amazing doing it. I missed the pack though and the full moon there. I could howl as much as I wanted,” I admitted. “Yeah, me too, we can’t do that in abroad, that’s why we have a fucking pack here to do whatever we want.” He agreed. “Have y
“That was a long time ago. Why will you even bring that up? By the way, you shouldn’t have snapped at her like that. You didn’t mean it, but it changed and triggered something in her.” “I did the right thing or else, only the moon goddess knew the next thing she would have done on that day.” He reasoned. I could clearly remember that day, eight years ago, after rescuing her from the principal and bullies in school, she changed something in me. Man, I deserve to be whipped and have my dick cut off. I’m so pissed as fuck and wished I could wipe off my memory of that day. On that day it happened, I had to let go of those hormones. My fear stemmed from my concern about my wolf taking over me and my pheromones. So, I excused myself and went to my room. It was too dangerous staying by her side or else. I would have done something I would have regretted for the rest of my life. I couldn’t resist her, her images were in my head, how her little breast could fit in my mouth, how wet her
“You’ve begun smoking, haven’t you? I thought you’d stopped because Oceana hates it.” He smelled cigarettes on me. Damn, his nose is as sharp as always. When I was back at the clan years ago, Oceana had once caught me smoking heavily at the backyard of the mansion, complaining that she dislikes seeing me smoke and she would like me to stop. She was quite cute back then. Her expression softened my heart, so I quit doing it. However, recently I picked up the habit again. I tried to stop smoking, but I still can’t get rid of it. “Carmine,” I spoke. “Just stop. Can you just pretend that you know nothing? Leave me alone,” I warned. I don’t want to think of Oceana right now. “Are you scared of the truth?" “Carmine,” I shouted. The people at the restaurant all started in our direction. “You’ve always been scared. Till now you haven’t called for the past eight fucking years. I know you fucking miss her so much you wanna scream. Cut me the bullshit, man.” “How am I like now?’ He shrugg
