Warning: This chapter is graphic with violent scenes and post-battle injuries. Please read with caution. — I’ve never been more frightened until this very moment. Until two rogues, clearly much bigger and stronger than I am, are coming at me with all that they’ve got. I tried my best not to be tempted to turn around and get a look at how close or how far they were from me, knowing full well that if I do I will make one mistake like lose my momentum and then it would be all over for me. For Kylo and I. I based their distance from the sounds of their angry growls, leaves rustling, and branches breaking. Kylo, thankfully, was also running to get to us. Having been together for a few days, I managed to distinguish his growl from them and I could tell he was getting even more furious that these rogues just wouldn’t die. “Come on Evera, don’t give up on me now.” I told–pleaded–with my wolf as we ran and ran, our bodies not equipped with running at this speed for a longer time, but

King Hunter Beowulf Being born into royalty, there are things that have become a part of my life such as the rigorous trainings, the sleepless nights where I focus on learning new things amidst my already high education, and properly faking a smile in order to forge an alliance with people I would rather not be associated with, but for the sake of my Kingdom I do everything and more. There are more things that come with my role, with my blood, with the life I was born into, but one that has always been there even before I was born, was knowing that wherever I went, I would be wanted. Knowing that whoever it is that comes into my life, I would, without a shadow of a doubt, matter to them because I am a King. I am their King. It wasn’t out of pride that I claimed these things, not out of conceitedness, but out of knowledge that it is a part of who I am. People will love me. People will adore me. People will see me as more than enough. So why? Why is it that the one that was suppo

I’m trying so hard not to tremble on my seat, but even with my hands tucked underneath my thighs, I can still feel it shaking, just as my whole body is. Out of nowhere, I feel a sudden sense of warmth as a coat of some sort is draped around me. When I turned to my right, Hunter was looking at me with a timid smile. He doesn’t say anything before looking back out at the window. I do the same because I don’t know what to say either. It’s been about three hours since we started our journey back to my Pack territory. Three hours since Hunter found Kylo and I and decided that I was coming back with him no matter what. Kylo just stood there as he watched us with emptiness in his eyes. It was as if he wasn’t even there somehow, like the world around him was collapsing and he didn’t know what to do so he just… let me go. I had no other choice. It was not like I could keep running, especially not all by myself now. And at the same time, being so close to Hunter again was confusing m

I watched from the car window as the Pack mansion got further and further away. The feeling of both anxiousness and unsuredness slowly but surely taking over me, though I try not to let it to. Everything will be fine, Hailey. You’ll only have to stay with him for six months and after that, if things go well, then you’ll be back to wherever it is you choose to be. By then the Pack will be sustained enough and surely you could find your own fate, whatever it may be, as long as it is away from my parents and sister who do not care about anyone but themselves. There was a tug at my heart just remembering the way my parents beamed with happiness as they watched me walk away with Hunter. Usually, that was a sign of happiness towards the fortune of their daughter, but I knew better. My parents didn’t shed a tear nor did they even tell me they would miss me. But then again, neither of them had to say anything. I knew what was on their minds just by looking – our daughter is going to be wi

I had a proper feast thousands of feet up in the air. It was crazy to think that so much food could fit in one jet and to think they didn’t even have an actual kitchen at the back. Or did they? I don’t know. All I knew was that I thoroughly enjoyed it and I didn’t even care much that Hunter would have thought I seemed like a woman who had not eaten in years. Let him think bad about me all he wants. Maybe then he would see I was not fit to be his Queen and turn this jet around and bring me back home. Unfortunately, that’s not what happens and a few hours of him in the same suite as me and me pretending to be sleeping but actually trying not to get aroused at the thought of him just looking at me, the sound of the pilot signaling our arrival was enough to make me feel all excited, but mostly nervous again. As soon as I knew that the wheels were back on solid ground and there was no way an accident could happen then I was able to let out the loudest exhale of my life. “Are you rel
