Caught, she laughs out loud and I frown, hating myself for my inefficiency to control my rioting emotions. “Woah! You look as red a tomato. Aww…he’s so cute” And she holds my face up so she can look into it after she gushes at me. I bet she’s with a mischievous grin right now and I pout.“Don’t try to bully me Heather. I have feelings too” I say, my voice marred from how much I’m pouting and her forehead comes touching mine. I can hear my amplified heartbeat pounding in my ears.About to say something else to zip that teasing mouth of hers when she seals my words back with the tender caress of her lips over mine. I stomach my words back immediately to permit the soft kiss she engages me in, bringing my arms to wrap around her torso as I bring her body yielding into my will to have her on my thighs. ***I read her moves with such accurate clarity as if her body is mine and seeing the incoming fist diving towards her torso, I manipulate her body
‘Dad is still far behind. When you linked Heather she was out at a mall and didn’t know we had been searching for mom even before you alerted her’ He tells me throughout the link and I growl angrily towards myself. I should’ve just linked him like she told me earlier.No time to dwell on that. I have to find a way to get us out of here. Lowering my gaze to the ground, a sudden panic wells in me, threatening to destabilize my focus. The ground won’t hold much longer…I accidentally channeled the negative energy inside me into my surroundings and forgot this is only a ridge. It might break off and we will…fall. Shit! I can’t let her take that fall. The nomads, now realizing they’re getting surrounded, begin to get agitated for a fight but I let out a thunderous howl and all wolves present look my way. ‘You dare try to hurt any of my own and I won’t hesitate to devour you right here and right now!’ I threaten furiously and they meet my snarling intent, showing me their dentition and
That's why it had to be there, a territory they had secretly invaded enough to memorize the landscape and escape routes Asher and his brother must’ve assured for them. “…I know you aren’t ordinary wolves, not from the day I found that inquisitive white wolf loitering around my ship. Those breed were thought to have gone extinct over the last century and there was one, right before my eyes. There was no way I’d miss the opportunity to snag her and the companion she came with”.Is he…I look over to her who’s already looking at me with pain in her eyes, letting me know he’s talking about my mother. Averting my gaze back at him who’s drawn a wooden short stood to sit on, he smugly continues to tell the story of how he met my mother.“There was something peculiar about her, she just seemed off. Too bad the other one died from the injuries though…he would’ve made a nice specimen-I bark loudly at him, suddenly charging towards as my wolf’s rage consumes me. Mourning for a family we nev
“Jan wants to re-run for the position but there’s a threat from one of his councilors who’s risen up to the challenge. That’s where I come in, to ascertain his victory…” He begins to tell, his gaze averting to the Luna, his lips stretching into a devious smirk. “…using the nomads to eliminate the opponent on the night of his wedding anniversary. Sacrifices will be made, we need it to look like some rogues went on a rampage and killed almost everyone who attended and then my wolves step in to dispatch the rogues off. A brilliant plan, don’t you think?”Mother’s rage burns indignantly as she raises her voice, “You twisted bastard! You won’t get away with this I promise you! Henry won’t let that happen!”At the mention of that name, his face goes dark and his lips straighten into a thin line. Evident how much he loathes the other man as his eyes reel in, a malicious aura of hatred floating around his shoulders.And a rustic scoff rattles out of him, his voice going steep and grave, “
I look away from her to see he’s stepping into the cell again and before I know it, he yanks her by the hair, dragging her away from me as she fights with her nails to get his hands off when he throws her to the floor and rams his foot into her abdomen.‘Mother!’ I charge onto my feet and grit regretfully, knowing I can’t do much as I’m exhausting all the strength I have left to fight the weakness off. She winces, her body trembling into a curl on the floor as she coughs repeatedly. He squats to the floor, gripping fist-full of her messy hair to lift her off the floor and forced to sit.Izayah chuckles, handing the crown- the crown?! It’s one my mother wore, carved from no normal rigid ice…my greatest memento of her that I’ve kept hidden since the day it was given to me. I was told she often had it on her head at all times, giving the impression she was from some royal wolf kingdom hidden somewhere.I watch Kieren collect the tray with the crown on it while laughing, “That bitch oft
Heather's POV‘Silver! Mom!’ Right in front of my expanded eyes, playing out in a slow motion, my mate and my mother…I watch with appalling horror, how they fall off the edge. The electrifying shock leaves my body nimble, eyes wide and staring beneath the heavily pouring rain. Nothing…I feel nothing around me. Not registering the amok movements around me nor when someone comes calling out to me repeatedly. Nothing…the fear crippling my senses with such speed that the next I know it, darkness consumes me the next my lids glide over my eyes. “Mom!” With a start, my body jerks off- where am I? I wince from the faint throbs in my head, a comforting palm to my temple as I squint my eyes beneath to look around the familiar space, seeing I’ve been brought back to uncle Liam’s. Back in my room. Swinging my legs to the edge, I drag my weakened body down until the sole of my feet touches the cold surface of the wooden floor. With that motion, my mind is stung by the agonizing memory of mom
“It seems while I’ve been busy watching over the pack, you got busy maturing huh? You’re no longer that cute little cry baby” He suddenly says with a tease and I flush, embarrassed and ready to protest.But the warm smile he shows me, has me retreating and revealing a haughty smile, pride sprouting from the truth in his words. “I can become even better than this and surprise you in the future” I boast, receiving a bonk on the head.“Nah, I don’t think you need any more dose of maturity after this. We need you to remain our precious little girl forever, that’s much better and safe”.The hell? I fume, glaring at Harrison who wiggles his brows at me. “Safe- what the hell are you talking about?! You can’t keep me this way like this forever- I’m not some pampered pet!”But my protest only has my brothers laughing at me as I look down, boiling in anger and a red face from shame. Ugh, I’ll forever remain a little kid in their eyes…but then, I don’t feel bad at all.
Dad nods in support and says, “And Kieran’s gain in all this would be his heroic move to wipe out the perpetrators of the vicious act to gain favor from the masses. He wants the position of alpha representative of Canada. But….”“Why go as far as involve the nomads?” Hardin voices and they all look his way. True, Kieran could just get some unnamed rogues to do the work and get it over with. So why choose to get a whole pack involved as well? It makes no sense.“He’s not being reckless, he knows what he’s doing. Kieran wants to wage a war against me and to do that, he had to take out one of our strongest allies, the nomadic wolves. Tch, I should’ve seen this coming” He tusks at the end and steels his expression.“Yumi was most likely taken to cripple your resolve to fight against them, to keep you restrained while he crushes the whole pack” Uncle Gabriel adds, chagrined and dad only smirks effusively.“And then he’ll aim for even higher power…To stand at the apex of power, to rule
