HIGH RANKING But that was the least of his problem now, so he turned to zoom past them but soon froze when he sighted the alpha walking down the hallway with Jared by his side and some other wolves of high-ranking status behind him.The young guard couldn't help but fidget as the troop approached him and his gaze dropped to the floor as he sought what to say. He would give everything to trade this situation he was in. Jaden, being the bully he was, had asked him to go because he knew he could not say no. So here he was, the unfortunate one who had to deliver such terrible news to the Alpha at such an early hour.Alpha Lundamous had a great temper and he was always angry even in happy situations. The guard could only wonder what the Alpha would say after he had heard the news in full. Then there was Jared who was just as temperamental as his father.The young guard was sure the man would throw a great fit and the guard was not ready for any of these. Jaden should have just gone himsel

: HARMONY I turned to glare at him but he was not looking at me. Instead, he was adjusting the man's collar and patting him on the shoulder. Then he pulled me by the shoulder, his head lowered as he muttered words to onlookers."The show is over." I heard him say and in no time, everyone had returned to their business. It was almost like nothing had happened. Could this mean that humans were quick to forget too?"You shouldn't do that, Aiden. I'm bringing you here not to hurt anyone but to hide yourself for a while. No one will find you here but if you keep making trouble, attention will be brought to you and who knows, Alpha Lundamous might find you. Words fly, you know.""I did nothing wrong." My golden-brown eyes flickered. Why was he blaming me? I wasn't the one who had consumed more alcohol than he should."Even though." Elder Theodore hissed, tossing me a glare before looking straight ahead. "You could have simply ignored. I don't want you doing this again, Aiden." His voice wa

ELDER Elder Theodore left the next day and Nicole was sorry to see him leave. She had wanted him to spend more time with her but Elder Theodore tried to make her understand that his daughter needed him.He even added that he did not think she would be needing his company anymore since she had me. What he meant by that, I could not tell but I chose to ignore him, only hugging him and bidding him farewell.If I was being honest, I did not want Elder Theodore to go too but I did not want to sound like a clinging child still tied to his mother's apron string. I wished the old man could stay longer, at least until I had adapted to this new setting.Not that being with Nicole was a bad idea, but I just didn't know how I was supposed to act around her, seeing how I had acted when she had stretched her hand forward to me for a kiss — I had asked Elder Theodore that night and he had told me I was meant to peck it.Absurd, right? But I found myself wondering how it would have felt to have my

CONFRONTATIONThe other guy was not as large as the first man but he was quite muscular and he knew the tactics to use. I had seen how he had dodged the bulky man who had wanted to punch him in the face but had punched the air instead."The big guy will surely win." Nicole let out, her eyes fixated on the boxers."I don't think so," I said to her and she turned to look at me with her brows raised."Don't tell me you think the other guy will be able to push the big guy off his feet? He is nothing compared to the big guy. He has no strength.""But he's got the tactics. That's all it takes." I said."Then let's place a bet. I'm sure I'm right." She folded her arms above her tummy."You'll only be wasting your money because the smaller man is surely gonna win." I had barely gotten those words out when the guy I had bet on slid a leg between the bigger guy's legs and tripped him over. The big guy fell with a thud and the crowd cheered.The referee held the winner by the wrist and raised h

SICK MORE OFTENI'm biting on my nails while my legs shake with fear. Kane still hadn’t returned, and I was close to biting my hands off. I thought he would at least try to make it back before Giselle woke up, but from the looks of it, I was wrong. Time was running out, and he was nowhere in sight. How could he do this? Does he not realize what she would do to him when she realized he'd left without telling her anything? I can see the horror in my mind.I cover my face with my hands and try to remain calm. If Giselle woke up and saw me panicking like this, she would read straight through me. That would only make things worse for Kane. I didn't want that. I didn't want to see him in trouble especially knowing that he had helped me earlier today.I walk over to the window and look out of it. It was a few hours ago that I jumped out of here and straight into Kane's arms. I still remember how wonderful it felt to be held by him. He was warm and big; I felt safe in his arms.I want to scr
