His fingertips linger on the lines of my body as a growl escapes his throat."I want you!" There is no shadow of a human in his voice, everything is lost in the animalistic instincts that have taken over him. I can not resist it. In a way that I can not explain, my body's needs overcame any trace of doubt, logic, regrets. Everything. Leaving only a sense of desperation behind."Axel..." I whispered, my voice unrecognizable, even for myself.He rips the clothes off and the sound of the fabric being thorn into pieces around me makes me almost loose my mind. Axel's hands are terribly cold, but the feeling of them on my bare skin makes every inch burn.I try to unbutton his shirt, but my hands feel clumsy as my pants fall prey to his impatience. Axel turns me around, pressing his body against me from behind, grabbing my breast with one hand while the other makes its way in between my legs."You're so fucking wet!" He groans as his finger draws circles around my clitoris. I am frozen, caugh

The school was canceled for a few days as the pack healed itself. More than a few people died, so a series of funerals took place over the course of a week. Every day brought new dead bodies from the hospital, every day brought a new family's desperate cries. Even if I don't particularly care about the pack, this much sorrow is soul wrenching for anyone that has a heart."Rose, come help me with the pies!" My grandma shouted from the kitchen. We've been staying with her so we can help with the funeral preparations. It is quite different for werewolves, as they like to celebrate the life of the person rather than cry about their death. So everyone comes together, bringing their best dishes for a huge pack meal. The family and friends of the deceased tell stories about how kind, loving, funny, or whatever they were. People wear colorful clothes and there is music hiding the soft cries of the family.No matter how many I attend, it still surprises me to see the faked cheerfulness of the

"Sweetheart, the doctor should look at you." My mom kisses my forehead and pushes the cup of tea towards me."I just got scared, I don't need a doctor for that." I say as I push the cup away. Two is enough. How much can one drink?Axel is standing next to me, holding my hand, acting like if he takes it away, I will vanish. My grandma is just standing at his hide, staring at the future Alpha holding her half-human granddaughter. I hope she took her heart medication."If I hadn't gotten there in time..." Axel whispers, his voice breaking a little with every word."It wasn't aggressive. And it saved me..." I don't get to finish before he shakes his head."You don't know these bastards. If he saved you from one thing, it was only because he wanted to do something way worse to you." He comments, tightening his grip."It was your luck that the future Alpha was around, Rose. I don't know where your head was to go alone in that park." My grandma chimes in. I would roll my eyes, usually, but t

I haven't been to the pack since the fight with my grandma and after my mom heard about the incident, she started to avoid her calls too. Not like anyone cares enough to try and call us. Even grandma gave up after the first two days. And I have to admit, it feels so liberating, I almost feel guilty about it.I wish I could enjoy the feeling, but the situation with Axel lives rent free in my head all day. I don't even know if he knows about the negotiations thing, or, if he knows; what he thinks about it. Endless possibilities with endless twists and turns make me stare at the phone for hours, wondering how should I even start this conversation.One year... A while ago, Axel asked me to give him one year and after that, we would live happily ever after. But with every day that passes, I realize I am no princess in a fairytale and no prince will come and save me. Or maybe I am the villain in the story?*Ring ring.*The phone buzzes in my hand, pulling me from the image of me as a very p

"Not now..." I whined as the Moon Goddess looks at me with a smile."There are things that can not suffer delay, my child.""You gave me a mate that I can not possibly be with and in the rare moments I manage to sneak one moment of contempt with him, the fate of the world bangs at the door. It is a bit unfair, isn't it?" I continue to protest and she seems surprised. Truth be told, a normal werewolf would fall on their knees and consider themselves blessed to personally meet the goddess of night, but we are here exactly because I am not a normal one, right? I feel very little connection with that part of myself and I mostly begrudge her for putting all this pressure on me, knowing even if by some miracle I do save the packs from this danger, their pride will not let them acknowledge me anyway."I know it is... But..." She hesitates. "Because it is unfair for you to suffer this much... I want to keep you away from him. ""From Axel? My mate? The mate that you gave me?""Child..." She s
