Pain was the first thing to greet me upon my wake. Every muscle in my body ached from intense fatigue, screaming in protest at the mere thought of moving, followed by the buzzing sensation of a painful migraine settling between my ears. Vision blurred, I could barely crack my eyes open as light poured into my pupils, assaulting my senses. The smell of smokey oak and pine sap gently tickled my nose, at first a welcoming scent until I realized something was utterly wrong. I shot up and looked around at the room, first noticing the black bricked chimney who's belly was lit with a gently burning fire. The flames licked and flickered with grace, casting its dim light into the large room.
Where am I? Searching the back of my mind, I nearly leaped out of my skin when a man raked his throat, pulling my attention to the far side of the room where he sat calmly on a wooden chair, elbows pressed onto his knees. As my knees pulled to my chest, he remained utterly silent, emerald eyes examining me from head to toe.The same emerald eyes I crossed gazes with earlier."Do you know who I am?" Asked the man, his soft voice cold and emotionless, sending shivers down my spine as memories from earlier surfaced from the back of my mind.I swallowed thickly, fighting my urge to cower under the quilts of the bed as I blurted. "Your, J-Jace-- Speak up!" He barked, leaning back on his chair with an exasperated sigh, green eyes ablaze.I bit my lip and my wolf gave out a strange, seemingly disappointed growl. Unable to look in his direction, my eyes closed tightly as I spoke. "Jace Weston, son to Alpha Xavier!"His face remained of stone, eyes cold and full of hatred as his words echoed equal animosity. "Do you know why you're here?- I... don't know, I c-can't remember exactly...'' I thought his features seemed to soften slightly at my words, encouraging me to continue. ''I felt this strange pull... when our eyes met... It was warm. Maybe I'm being delusional, did we-?- You suffered a heat stroke, nothing more.'' His words blurted out with such resentment, it took me a second to register them properly, hissed between clenched jaws like a snake. His gaze however never broke away from me, flushing my cheeks with embarrassment at every passing second. Anxiety at its peak, I became incredibly self aware of the silk gown I was wearing; my hips and breasts were covered, but the fabric felt so light I feared he could see right through it.I shifted my gaze to Jace, forcing the words out. "C-can I have some clothes...? I don't feel com-- You don't get to ask questions here girl." He sneered, clenching the wooden chair with his nails turned into sharp claws. I whimpered and clenched the sheets even harder, closing my eyes in fear of the idea he could attack me at any moment. Every ounce of my body reeked of fear. I didn't know what to do, where I was... But I do know that I'm alone with one of the pack's most powerful and respected wolves. "And you'll address me as Alpha!!" His growl shook the room, rooting me to the bed.My body no longer responded, allowing me to give a simple nod in response. "Y-yes Alpha..''Excruciatingly long and silent seconds dripped by. My head boomed with the sound of my own terrified heartbeat, adrenaline rushing through every vein with such intensity, I had to fight the urge to shift and run away. His eyes would flicker from my thighs, to my breasts only to trail up to my neck and down again, seemingly assessing every inch of skin he could observe. Stomach twisting, I felt painful thorns of anxiety grasp my bowels like claws."Take off your clothes." My heart skipped a beat as the implication of his words dawned onto me.I swallowed thickly, at first uncertain whether I heard him correctly. "Wh-what...?- I said take off YOUR CLOTHES!" His command stabbed through me like a knife.My stomach dropped, gripped by icy claws as I slowly stood up, unable to do anything but obey. Alpha's could use their authority to control lower rank wolves which allowed the Alpha to practically control his troops when needed- to a certain degree... At this moment however, disobeying wasn't an option if I didn't want to risk getting my throat ripped out. With that in mind, I reluctantly guided my hand to my left shoulder, slowly removing the strap that held the dress. As it slipped from my shoulder, I felt the sting of incoming tears rise at the back of my eyes.I took off the second strap from my right shoulder and the nightgown gently cascaded onto the ground, exposing my body to Alpha. His face, though, remained of stone. Even if I still had my underwear, I've never felt more exposed in my entire life. I've never shown my body to anyone but my mother, and even so, nothing could prepare me for the utter humiliation blooming in my chest. As my cheeks grew hot, a rogue tear slid down my cheeks.Alpha didn't utter a word.The chair creaked noisily as he stood up and approached, watching me like a predator stalks his prey. Fear thrummed my heart like a wild drum with every one of his steps, feeling my body tremble as he halted before me. His hand clasped around my face, nails digging into my cheek as he forced me to look into his eyes. I trembled at his touch, fighting the urge to close my eyes as he pulled me closer. His eyes never broke away, silent and unreadable with every blink. His breath brushed against my bare neck, causing shivers to ripple through my back.Then his lips crashed onto mine.A gasp escaped my throat at the gesture, disgusted and ultimately terrified. My body became ice, every muscle frozen and unresponsive as a strange tingle rippled my lips and all spread throughout my body. Grueling long seconds slipped by and he didn't move as if he too had been paralyzed by some mysterious force. His lips parted mine, leaving behind a cold, numb feeling to my skin. At that, he turned heels and stormed out of the room.I was left alone, half naked and terrified, with not the slightest idea of what I've just gone through. Tears stung at my eyes, threatening to spill once again before I wiped them away, shoving down my emotions. And yet, I couldn't help but feel so incredibly violated; deep down, I knew something had been stolen from me at that moment. My first kiss.Mother would always speak so fondly of hers, of the sparks she had felt while her lips touched my father's. Now mine had just been ripped away by a man I didn't even know...''Oh dear...'' I jumped from my spot when a voice spoke from the doorframe, only then noticing the curly red haired woman standing at the door, cherry lips gaped in awe. ''What did that brute do now!? Are you alright sweetheart?'' High heels stomped my way, clicking loudly onto the wooden floor in her wake. I couldn't do anything but stare intently at her face, debating how to even address her words as her hands gently grabbed my shoulders. ''What did he do to you?- I...'' My throat bobbed with every word as they died onto the dip of my tongue. ''He... He didn't do anything I was... changing.'' I felt like a deer caught in headlights with how my eyes widened at the lie. The woman didn't seem to notice however, continuing instead to examine me from head to toe like some worried mother.I flinched when her hand cupped my cheek, taken aback at how touchy she was being with me. "You look starved. Have you eaten anything?"I shook my head. "Not since I've left for the ceremony... How long ago was that exactly?- Oh, no more than a day ago sweetheart.- Wh-what?! Shit, I need to go home!- Home?" The woman's head cocked to the side as she spoke, picking up my gown from the floor. "Home? Oh, is someone waiting for you there?- Yeah, my mother. She must be worried sick..."The red haired lady's face metled into sympathy, seemingly shocked by my words. "Oh... I'm sorry hun. I can ask to send a Scout to let her know you're okay, if you'd like.- No I-I'd rather go home- I-- Alexandra?" Someone knocked at the door.I squeaked between tight lips, afraid the man won't enter while I was still half naked when Alexandra trotted to the door, shielding the view with her body. A few words were exchanged out of my ear shit, allowing me enough time to slip on the first T-shirt I could find in the nearby wardrobe. The piece was so big, it dangled down to my mid thigh like some girlfriend stealing her other half's shirt. Not ideal, but at least I was covered. At that, I turned around to see Alexandra close the door."Oh, that's cute hun but..." She bit her lower lip, averting her gaze from me. "I'm afraid you'll have to change into something more... Fancy?"I arched a brow, feeling my stomach drop once again; am I not going home?Alexandra has her head shoved inside the wardrobe, pulling out any clothing she could get her hands on, spreading chaos in her wake. She settled on a white tank top and black, molding jeans. She brought them to me, a sheepish smile crowning her lips."I know you want to got home and you will. But, I was just informed that Xavier wishes to see you.- Alpha Xavier...? What does he want?"She paused, eyes briefly averting before she gave a seemingly reassuring smile. "He needs to clear something with you before you can leave. I'm sure it's nothing, hun."Taking the clothes from her hands, I swallowed the knot blocking my throat. Meeting Alpha Xavier in person... It never meant anything good.-*-Drop a follow to stay updated! Likes and comments are always appreciated ❤🙏I stormed through the door frame, not caring to close the door behind as I allowed my legs to guide me to the nearest washroom. My temples boomed to the sound of my beating heart, drowning out my chaotic thoughts. Sweat pearled down my neck and back, ice cold against the warmth of my skin. I leaned above the sink, feeling as though I was about to vomit. The fuck was that!? What was I thinking? How could I let my guard down like and give in to such a sin!? Father's going to kill me if he finds out... and yet, despite my logical thoughts, the wolf seemed to be in a state of pure glee, enthralled by that kiss. It wanted more... it craved the Omega, wished to relish in her scent and claim her.A sense of ease and comfort washed over me as I allowed myself to give in to the wolf's desire for a split second. Lust, envy and longing settled into my mind as I began to crave for her touch and affection, envy the sensation of her skin against mine-...No. No, no, NO! Glass shattered onto the flo
I held my chest, trying to calm my beating heart. I'd been waiting at the dining table for half an hour when a shatter echoed from the other side of the mansion. Cade instructed me to stay put while he checked things out, only to return a few minutes later with an unreadable look on his face. He seemed distant, lost in the sea of his own thoughts as he stationed himself beside me. I remained quiet, unsure what to say or do while a set of footsteps resonated from the end of the hallway connecting the entrance to the dinner room. Gazing up, I spotted Alexandra calmly approaching us, curly red hair bouncing beautifully over her shoulders. Her cherry red lips lifted into a warm and welcoming smile, which I returned with a shy but thankful grin."I see you two have met!" She chirped happily, hoisting herself into her tiptoes to kiss Cade's lips. Then, wrapping her arms around his, she turned to me. "Sorry about the long wait hun, Xavier and Jace had a little..." Muffled words shouted from
I glared from my window, starring at Cade when I spotted him walking throught the backyard with that thing at his side, as both giggled and smiled like kids on a play date. I felt my Wolf purr at the sight of the Omega, but I shun him down. I hated when he admired that pathetic excuse of a Wolf. It reflected onto my feelings and made me gain a certain admiration for her, making me feel sick. Everyone acted so sweet around her, like she was some sort of miracle child. Pathetic. She was nothing more than an abomination who's life worth little to— "Jace." A slick, black reddish male walked into my room, ripped jeans and leather jacket contrasting his edgy look. I groaned, annoyed as I recognized the wolf by his snarky voice as Ryder, one of the Pack's elite Scouts and Cade's second in command. He was the kind of person that ticked me off by simply breathing the same air I did. Emo look, hot headed, always questioning orders or calling me by my name rather than my title
"And here, we have the garden." I gasped as Cade brought me to the entrance of a beautiful hedge garden, the walls filled with all kinds of colorful plants and flowers. I never knew this place had a garden! A gorgeous one at that. I walked through the first alley, grazing my hand through the lush greenery. Roses, tulips, lavenders, marguerites and many more plants I couldn't identify. But they were still incredibly beautiful. I smiled, wonder floating in my mind. All these foreign plants and flowers, they had so many different shapes and colors! And each had it's unique scent, it was amazing! For an Omega who's lived in the woods all her life, this was a real jewel to see. A pang hit my chest while my thoughts drifted to my mother. She loved flowers... and she would've loved to see this garden.
"Don't move." The voice chilled the blood in my veins and I herd someone cock and charge their gun. Slowly, I turned my head and almost bumped my snout into the barrel of a loaded shotgun, it's holder gazing down at me with menacing eyes. A sinister smile lifted his lips. "Oh Alphas' gonna love this. OVER HERE! I'VE GOT- AAARGH!!!!" A white blurr suddenly jumped from the bushes and crashed into the male, sending him to the ground with his gun flying a few feet away. The white Wolf then plunged his teeth into the male's throat, blood gushing everywhere. I held a gasp, completely terrorized by the scene. I've never seen anyone get killed before! Sure, I've seen brutal scenes in movies and I was never very comfortable with them in the first place, but seeing a real person being murdered in front of your own eyes was a completely differen
The man screamed as I leaped and ripped at his throat, ending his life within mere seconds. With a blood covered snout, I gazed up, searching for my next target.By my side, Rider teared at the throat of another Wolf, his black Wolf's amber eyes shining with a mixture of rage and something else I couldn't grasp. I scoffed and continued ahead. I jumped at another target while it held it's gun at me, arms shaking.A grin lifted my lips. This is gonna be fun. Using my Werewolf speed, I dodged his bullets easily and then pinned him down with a wolfy grin. Horror laced the guy's gaze as he starred into the eyes of death. But a jolt of pale fur jabbed into my flank and threw me off my target. While I rolled onto the ground, a voice reached me through the link.'Jace what are you doing!?' Cade snarled, eyeing me from his spot.I shook my pelt and growled. 'What do you think I'm doing!? I'm getting rid of the enemy!''Those aren't Wolves Jace! There Humans
I winced, a sharp pain ripping through my chest as I felt like my heart was being ripped in two. Kira jumped while she finished the last loop of my stitches, frowning."Oh calm down, it's just a needle. I'm almost done."I shook my head, fighting the urge to scream my lungs out. "N-No... it's not... that..." suddenly, a wave of sadness and rage invaded my body, tears rising at my eyes. "I don't know... what's happening..."Kira placed her wrinkled hand onto my head, a sad smile on her face. "Hm, you don't have a fever but your body might be in shock. If you feel any discomfort, let me know immediately."I nodded, although the weird feeling had disappeared and I no longer felt any discomfort.She finished cleaning my wound and wrapped some sterilized gauze and bandages around my waist, making sure the injury wouldn't open up. "There. That should help keep any infection away. But don't strain yourself too much or it will reopen." I stood up, tucking
My eyes were glued onto the dancing flames of the campfire. Anger still clenched at my chest while I held my father's dog tag in my hand. I still couldn't believe he was gone... My own father, murdered in cold blood by the hands of Humans... what kind of a death is that...? How could Selene bestow such an unworthy death upon him!? Did he not deserve her blessing? Igazed over to the Omega, her head slumped onto Zed's shoulder. So it seems Missy couldn't shift because she was wounded... What a joke... And she isn't the one who just lost her father nor the house she's grown every memory in. No, she had to slump and cry because of some dam injury. My fist clenched and I nearly broke my father's tag, the last thing I wanted right now. So before I could make any mistake, I hung the
