“Silver werewolves are not real, Alpha. They only exist in folklore and legends,” I said as I strived to kick him in the ribs, but he was too fast for me, and he avoided the attack. I stamped my foot on the ground and cursed a bit under my breath in frustration.“How can you tell?” Alpha Ace questioned me with a smirk on his face. We had been doing the training since we woke up this morning.“I just know it,” I stated without enunciating further explanation.“But what makes you say that?” his question made me pause from moving. I don’t know why he kept asking these questions when I explicated everything to him for at least three minutes. It was starting to annoy me quite a lot. “What made me know that silver werewolves aren’t real?” I reiterated with a severe glare and stepped toward him. “It’s because that was just some sort of fantasy, the absence which has caused a huge misconception about their existence. If they were real, robust creatures would try to find them instead of makin
"Sister Filomena?" I called out as I opened the window.She looked up and smiled at me, but then the smile on my lips faded when I noticed how bizarre she looked."Are you okay?" I questioned while sitting down on the windowsill. I couldn't see her looking like this often, primarily since I'd known her for years. Her hair was unbound, which was unusual for me."Sister? Are you okay?" I reiterated, but she didn't respond; instead, she hurled a creepy smile that perplexed me."What happened? Come here," I said, motioning her to come over, but then she spun around."Wait! Sister!" I called out once more; then I scurried outside the room; soon as I reached downstairs, I bumped into someone's chest and realized it was Alpha Ace.He quickly grabbed me before I hit the ground from my fall. "Sorry," I mumbled."No, it's fine. What happened to you?" he asked, but his face dropped slightly in amusement after seeing my attire.His eyes went to the edge of the dress, then moved to my bare arms,
Alpha Ace's POV WORRIED before the five minutes went out, I kept on finding Gwen unceasingly. My emotion kept rising as I continued roaming the forest, but I heard noises from a distance. The closer I got to the source, the harder my heart was hammering inside my chest. The further I came, it felt like my feet were dragging behind me, and soon I reached a clearing where a group of people was gathered with their backs turned to me. They were all wearing black robes that covered them from head to toe until they revealed their faces. "Who are you?" I asked as I walked up towards them. No one answered. Their eyes stayed focused on me until one of them stepped forward. It was evident in her feature that she had a powerful aura, the way her eyes gleamed with such power gave me the feeling that I had done something wrong. "It doesn't matter who we are; if you want us gone so bad, you must heed my words." "I hope that didn't sound too rude because I'm not really in the mood for games," I
Gwen's POV "I want you to stay with me and help me fight whatever danger lurks. I need you here beside me because your presence gives me the strength I'll need when everything starts crumbling like a house of cards. You calm my soul, Alpha." Remaining hushed for a second, Alpha Ace was striving hard to think what appropriate choice he should make as he stood for his mate. Until he got an idea, he opted for something that had been the best option for him. "My willingness to help you was never a question, but no, Gwen." My eyes widened before narrowing into slits in disgruntled. "You refused my favor? Seriously? Your mate?" Pulling myself away from him, I tried to calm my breathing. The thought of him not acquiescing to my request had caused my chest to constrict painfully. "I won't allow you to take more risks than necessary. No more fights, Gwen." Hearing those words made me even more aggravated. "Are you insane? You think I'm not strong enough to handle myself, huh?" "That's n
"We will be having a simple night party tomorrow. You'll meet our subordinates, and your family will be there too."SURVEYING myself in front of the mirror, I am wearing a red gothic dress with a deep V-Neck. The top has long sleeves that are pulled up to my elbows. I have on black heels and matching red lipstick, and my hair is down as usual. My makeup is subtle but still noticeable enough.It is not my style, but I need it to look good at tonight's party. I needed to look comfortable because there were many visitors, and looking elegant was paramount.While I was getting ready, someone tossed a crumpled paper from outside the window that landed on the floor next to me.A smile crept to my lips when I realized who had thrown it. It's Matt.Throwing a note is nothing new between us. It all began when I was alone in the forest. I was playing at the back of our house when Matt showed up. Overflowing trepidation is what I felt when I saw him because of the thought that maybe he was a mo
He kissed me hard yet passionately, like he wanted to memorize every detail. I can feel my heart pounding frantically, the sound deafening my ears because of the loud thumping noise it produced. It must have been so wrong to let this happen, but my wolf was howling in delight at hearing the sound of her mate.Every moment was forceful yet tender, making my blood rush and my cheeks flush bright red. I did want to stop him, but it felt amazing to be held so tightly and kissed by my mate despite rejecting him.After several moments of passion, he finally separated from me and rested his forehead against mine. "Why did you let me?" he inquired softly."I'm sorry, I just—""Shhh," he hushed my apology. "I should be the one apologizing for being impulsive and reckless."To avoid further awkwardness, I let out a forced smile. "I think we gotta go; they're probably waiting for us.""Alright. I guess you're ready." he smiled sweetly.He then moved in a distance and lent his hand to guide me do
He was the man who shot me an intense look earlier. "Thank you," I responded as I accepted the plate, which earned a short smile from him. "Would you mind if I joined you eating? Well, I've noticed you here alone, but it's alright if you don't want," he said, sounding very apologetic. I could only nod in agreement. "No, it's fine." Without further ado, we both settled down to eat. Honestly, it feels awkward just to be eating and not know what to articulate. It felt like something needed to happen, but I had no idea what it was. The silence between us only served to make it more discomfiting. At least the man had manners because I couldn't bring myself to start talking first. I watched as his hand moved around the plates, taking a bite of what he had. "Are you living here?" he finally spoke up. I nodded. "With my mate." "Alpha Ace?" he questioned, looking at me for confirmation. "My name is Israel, though most call me Rael," he introduced himself after finishing his last bite
"Silver Werewolf."My heart took a sudden leap, striving so desperately to remain calm as I spun around my head, looking for the source of the voice.I saw Israel standing from a couple of meters away. The gloominess could be attributed to his face, with no hope or bliss. But I wondered where that emotion stemmed from.He didn't say anything, just stared in front while looking at me with those eyes filled with woe.I swallowed heavily, wondering what had made him approach me out of nowhere."I know you," he articulated, conferred me another reason to feel dread."Am I hearing the right word from you? You know me?""No one ever calls you like that."My ears perked when he uttered that words."Why?" I asked cautiously, not even bothering to hide it."Because you're hiding it from everyone. You hide who you are, how strong you are."His words resonated inside of me, making me shiver.This man knew me better than anyone else in the world. His gaze was piercing as if reading my every thoug
