Meghan's POVThe moon, a glowing yellowy white, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow on a clear night sky. Its glimmering glow lightened the gloom of the night, piercing through an open window of an old mansion as it illuminated the dark room inside.As I appeared back in the room, my eyes scanned the area, noting its state to be exactly as how I left it, empty and unvisited. Sighing, I sauntered towards the open window and stared at the night outside as I replayed the day's events. My eyes would constantly peer at the row of houses on the outskirts of the light forest that surrounded the packhouse and take in the old state they all were in.The tense air looming over the area was pitiful, for having to live with the uncertainty of what would happen to you tomorrow was one of the worst kinds of punishment any being could receive. With just a simple glimpse, I could easily get a sad picture of my new home.It really didn’t bother me, none of them mattered nor raised any concern
Xavier's POVAfter a good, long, eventful shower, I decided to linger for a few more minutes and enjoy the hot water that further relaxed my muscles before I sauntered back into my room. As soon as I walked in, I spotted Meghan sitting on one of the couches, still on her towel, innocently smiling my way whilst something mysterious glinted in her beautiful blue eyes.Smiling, I padded in her direction and sat just beside her. She didn't waste time, she climbed on my lap yet again and rested her head on my chest with a sigh as we both enjoyed the light sparks from the contact. Staying with her like this was all I needed, she was all I had and I enjoyed having her close all the time. Her warmth calmed me—she calmed me and just like that, we silently remained like that for a while, enjoying each one's company.“I felt your distress earlier.” She spoke up.My hand flew to her soft hair and playfully brushed it back as I nodded, “Complications.”“Of what sort?”I sighed. “I’m officially ban
Xavier’s POV‘Sleep in my arms, sleep in my protective and loving arms, for if you ever need protection, I will awake and take care of the task’, I silently thought to myself as I softly brushed back my sleeping mate’s hair; revelling at the feeling of it’s silky texture through my fingers.She heaved a sleepy sigh as the corners of her lips twitched into a ghostly smile, and I couldn’t help but trail my thumb over her still swollen lips.It was my first time to ever see her sleep. She was exhausted by the day’s activities; channeling all that power to summon thousands of her deadly beasts onto the surface took a toll on her. I had to take her to shower and tucked her to bed after.The corner of my lips twitched, stifling a threatening sly smirk; poor thing couldn't even walk straight.Craning my neck as I leaned closer to her lovely face, I pressed a lingering soft peck on her forehead and shortly remained there, breathing in her intoxicating scent.Pulling back with a sigh, my mind
Alpha Max’s POVIt’s past dinner, but my appetite doesn’t quite agree with me putting anything into my mouth. I keep on having a strange feeling in my gut that something was wrong, and I can't shake it off, no matter how much I try. After repeatedly pacing back and forth in my office, I decided to go for a perimeter run. Just to calm myself down and maybe tire myself so that I get some sleep.Two hours passed like a blur as I supervised the night’s patrol. Everything was going smoothly, but my wolf became even more alert. That’s when it hit me; it was quiet. Too quiet. Beside the sound of paws against the ground, which I knew belonged to my trackers and warriors, there wasn’t any other sound—no crickets, locusts, not even the tree branches. Everything was still, like time itself suddenly just stopped.Upon realising this, things started to change.Heavy clouds began to plague the full moon and the stars all over the night’s sky, promising a heavy storm that was yet to come. What’s str
Have you ever felt helpless? Have you ever felt so screwed and hopeless, for there is nothing you do that prospers?Have you ever felt weak and constantly humiliated?Trust me, your deteriorating self-esteem will screw your pride and dominance if that were to happen to you. One would ask how I know this, and I'll confess—This is what I currently face.Coming from an ordinary pack, with only a few thousands packmates, one would think life is nothing but peaceful. For who would want to ruin such a harmless pack?Wrong.Sometimes being ordinary is a crime. Being weak is a crime—a crime that ripped my parents from me, leaving me to take on their enemies—inexperienced, alone and secluded.What would you do in my shoes? Would you run and leave the remaining of your family, your friends and your followers to die? Perhaps if you stay, would you be able to overcome all with how weak you are?All the training my father gave me seemed to have gone to waste; I can’t even defeat my beta in sparrin
Moonstone PackXavier’s POV.Slanting sun rays poured through the open windows of my office, further lighting up the entire space for another day had dawned. Behind a stacked desk, full of paperwork that demanded careful review was none other than me, for not even the previous sleepless night was enough for me to finish going through the waiting papers.At least I was doing something useful, for nothing else have I ever touched had prospered. As I ignored the slight pounding in my head, my narrowed eyes continued to scan the paper in my hands keenly, careful not to skip any detail that’d be fatal later on. A soft knock on the door caught my attention, and I looked up, spotting my beta lazily slipping in.He was a tall fellow, dark with a bulk frame that slightly surpassed mine. We grew up together and literally had been through thick and thin as we watched each other’s backs. He was a tough fellow that had my utmost trust, he was more than a best friend-he was a brother.Sporting a di
Xavier's POV.Weaving through the traffic like an android, a cursing Ben gunned the engine as I turned from the seat, my alert eyes taking in the scene behind us. Flinching at the sound of gunshots, my heart nearly jumped through my gaping mouth as the rear window blasted into shards and one of the bullets flew right into my right shoulder.“Fuck!” My shoulder jerked back to the impact as the lump of silver penetrated my skin. Slumping my back against the seat, my hand flew to my burning wound as I gritted my teeth in pain.“HOLD ON..!” Ben glimpsed at my wounded state before he peered at the rear-view mirror, “They’re fucking dogging our asses!”I closed my eyes, fighting back the throbbing waves that surged throughout my body. I could feel blood oozing, dripping through my fingers. All I had to do was to relax so that the poison doesn’t get far into my blood system. But that was hard considering the situation both of us were in.The engine roared as the car veered when Ben made a ha
Lilith’s POVSpitting the bloodied fucker’s head to the ground, my storming gaze lingered on the mess as I morphed back to my human form. My nose scrunched up, for the effluvium of his traitorous blood disgusted me but the sight of a jumble of ripped limbs, remarkably torn and scattered on the bloody ground gave my burning fury some kind of solace—but it wasn’t enough.“How dare you..” I spat, glaring at the unrecognizable mess of a mortal I came to detest in only a short time. A glowing silhouette captured my attention as it lingered a couple of paces from me, at the edge of the forest on the opposite side from where I stood moments ago and a cruel light bulb appeared over my head. This was far from over.“Azazel!” I called, without tearing my gaze from the confused spirit. My skin tingled at the feeling of an abrupt breeze briefly blowing through before my heightened senses picked up a familiar presence behind me.“What is it? I’m busy.” A bored deep voice complained.I turned to me
