Messiah JordyHaving kept my life a secret these past months made it harder to come clean right now. A lot of thoughts ran through my mind. A lot of 'what ifs' and doubts and fears. The greatest was what his reaction would be when I told him everything. It was funny how scared I was about his feelings for me being altered. Slauson had been amazing, and I cared about him, but I thought my feelings were just ordinary. I thought it was all because of how kind he treated me. Right now, at the verge of making one of the biggest decisions of my life, I figured I might have been fooling myself all this while.Being scared of losing him spoke volumes about what my true feelings for him were, and how fucked up this whole thing just got. My poor heart ached as I imagined him loathing me when he found out that I was not human. How terrified he would get when I told him I belonged to those creatures he probably thought of as myth. It was just my imagination, but it hitched my breath and made m
King Arlo's POVI opened my eyes to the sun's rays and shut them back with a groan. Another day of feeling empty and scarred. I didn't want to get up. Lying here all day seemed like a better option. Sleeping came easier to me now, as it was the only way I could escape my miserable reality.A muffled groan escaped my lips as my mind wandered to the thoughts that forced me to sleep and kept me sullen when I was awake. The thoughts of Jordy, painful thoughts of my disappeared mate.Days turned into weeks and weeks had become months since Jordy’s disappearance and she was nowhere to be found. No news on her whereabouts. She just vanished, like she never happened. Right now, I would be lying if I said I was alright because I was certainly not. I was growing weaker with every second that passed and the fact that I was the king made it a lot harder. I couldn't mope around as much as I wanted to. I had my people to lead, and I couldn't excuse myself from my duties, even though my heart was a
MESSIAH JORDY’S POVThe soft snores from my little one were like symphonies to my ears. Watching him sleep in his crib had been the best part of my days since he happened. He was so calm and always took my breath away each time I looked at him. He made my heart melt, and I always found myself doubting that I really gave birth to a child as angelic as he is.My gaze drifted to Slauson who was bent over on the crib, staring at my son with a soft smile on his face. I felt a lump in my throat and my eyes stung with tears.I sniffed back my tears and left the room, going downstairs to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. I'd barely brewed it when Slauson showed up at the door."Hey," His voice was a bit drowsy, and a yawn followed it. It made me chuckle."I'm sorry you had to stay up this late. Coffee?""Sure," He walked in and sat on the stool, "And it's no problem at all. You know I love watching Messiah jnr sleep."A warm rush came to my cheeks and I handed him the coffee, "Thank you, Slaus
MESSIAH JORDY'S P.O.V.Running as fast as I could in the woods, it was only a matter of time before I'd be back home in our pack. I had been running all night, taking just a thirty minute rest when my eyes felt too heavy with sleep. But at dawn, I got back to running and hadn't stopped since then.I was still in human territory, and that was why I still haven't shifted into my wolf form. It was too great a risk. Couldn't do it, despite how fatigued my human body felt. I had to get to werewolf territory before I could make my shift.After using two trains, I got sick of it and felt like walking to clear my mind, and I ended up trekking and running day and night. It didn't occur to me that it would take these long by foot.An hour later, I got to the cliff end of the human territory. I leaped and had a major fall into the werewolf territory. Relieved, I picked myself up, dusting off dried leaves that had stuck to my clothes. I looked around and when I was certain that I was out of sigh
MESSIAH JORDY'S POVThe house in front of me was in a mad frenzy that for a minute there, I found myself doubting if this was really Zoey and Zachary's house.The blaring music from the speakers could be heard from a thousand miles. Got me wondering why I hadn't picked up the sound sooner than I did. Maybe because I was too engrossed in my thoughts.There were more than hundreds of people here, most of them teenagers, and I barely recognized most of the faces.What's going on? But it was rather obvious what was going on. I just found it a bit hard wrapping my head around it.It was a party, it had to be a pool party, because most, if not all, were dressed in swimsuits and crowded the large swimming pool at Zoey and Zach's house. And those that weren't in the pool were on the front porch, in the garden, the swing, the terrace, everywhere. This was one hell of a party. Whoever was throwing this party did go all out to make it a blast. But why was there a party here? The twins weren't h
KING ARLO'S POVSitting in the car patiently, I rubbed at my temple as I watched the trees pass by. It was a soothing sight, coupled with the flurry breeze that infiltrated my car. For a few minutes, I forgot about the ache in my heart and just let the breeze caress me. But when my car stopped at the red light, I was forced back to my thoughts.I let out a sigh as I looked out the window. I was headed towards Jordy's pack. After months of trying to fix myself, I couldn't. I was still a huge mess, and there was no fixing that.But this morning, I woke up with a weird feeling and a strong urge to visit Jordy's pack. Something was wrong, I could literally sense it, but I couldn't figure it out and no one was going to tell me. I had to come on my own.Few more seconds of waiting for the green light, the flurry breeze brought a peculiar scent to my nostrils. It got me tense and had my wolf howling in anticipation. It was Jordy's scent. I could be wrong, but I wasn't. Her scent was peculiar
KING ARLO'S POVI let go of his shirt and staggered backward, needing to put some distance between us. Every inch of my heart ached from his words. The piercing stares fixated on us weren't helping. I couldn't conceal my agony from them. Luther had hurt me with his words and my agonized look was his trophy.A smirk formed on his face as he saw how speechless I'd gone. Sure, he was feeling like a fucking god right now. Crushing everyone who gave a fuck about Jordy seemed like his sole mission here."You look drained, your highness. You should have a seat, and try to get a grip on your emotions. It's as hard for you as it is for everyone," Luther said in a fake, soliciting tone. As much as I wanted to send him to hell, I didn't. I took a seat, just as he'd requested. He was right. I felt drained all of a sudden. His cruel words had drained me.I reclined on my seat, tuning out their conversation and getting lost in my world of depressing thoughts. His words reverberated in my head. What
Third Person's POV."Fuck this!" Zoey yelled exasperatedly, thrashing her phone aside. It fell on the floor, and she could hear it break into pieces, but she didn't give a shit. She was fed up, and the phone was only adding to her frustration.With a sigh, she tottered out of her room, crossed to the other side of the hallway, and shoved into her brother's room. He was lying in his front, typing away on his laptop. She huffed and plumped down on the edge of his bed."Please come right in, Zoey, have a seat," He mumbled sarcastically, closing the laptop. Her rude entry better have a good reason or he's kicking her ass out."I don't have to knock, Zach. We're twins, I should have access in here whenever I want," Zoey scoffed, falling on her back. She exhaled, fixing her gaze absent-mindedly on the ceiling."Yeah, like I have access to yours, right?" "It's different with girls. You don't just walk in uninvited. What if I was naked, or getting dressed?"Zach sighed, ruffling his curls wi
