LOGINCHAPTER 19 - BLIGHT GETS WORSE“Yes, I knew.” I stare at him. “And you never thought to tell me?” “But how did you come to know?” he asks instead. There’s a painful tightness in my throat. “That doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that you knew something so important about me and yet, you kept it from me. Why?” He swallows hard. “I didn't want you to think about all that love, you had already gone through all that. I…” He pauses, his eyes pleading with me. “I just wanted to protect you… I throw my hands in the air. “Protect me from what?” My hand clenches into fists on my thighs. “It seems like right from birth. Everyone loves to make decisions for me. This is not protection. I had the right to know and you heard no right to hide this from me.” He pauses, stares long at me. I wait for him to argue so I can release all the frustration building up in me but instead he apologizes. “You’re right. I shouldn't have. You deserved to have known this. I'm sorry,” he reaches out f
CHAPTER 18 - ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HIM ELARIS After leaving Sarah’s cottage, I don't waste time in informing the Lycans of our immediate departure. Luckily there isn't a fuss, as they are all tired of the pack already anyway. I go looking for Liora but meet Cassiel on the way. He raises an eyebrow when he sees me at the Alpha wing. “I came to inform Liora that I would be leaving,” I say. He rubs his eyes. “Liora has traveled.” I feel a twinge of disappointment. “Again?” I had been hoping to see her before I left. “She told you about her travels?” he asks. “She did tell me she has been traveling..” He perks. “She told you where?” I shake my head, intending on the promise I made to Liora. “No.” He eyes me. “You’re hiding something.” I fold my arms over my chest, realize I'm being defensive then drop them. “What makes you think that?” He startles me by taking a quick desperate step toward me, his scent overflooding my senses and I resist the urge to take one back. N
CHAPTER 17- HAD MALRIK KNOWN?ELARIS“Who would I even tell? I won't tell anyone, I promise.” I let go of her shoulders.Liora nods but I can still see her hesitating. For a moment, I think she isn't going to speak until she says, “I met…my mate on the day of the moon ritual.”Happiness washes over me. “Oh wow, that's great news!” I exclaim but her expression is still solemn.My brows furrow. “Isn’t it a good thing? What’s wrong.”She shakes her eyes and casts her eyes downward. “There’s nothing wrong with him. He’s perfect.” A smile takes over her face but it drops. “It’s just that he’s a rogue.”I blink. “Oh.”The Ash mere pack still runs on the old traditions. The council enforces them up till today, it was so surprising that they had accepted that much human technology in the clinic.They don't accept rogues into the pack no matter what. I can see why Liora isn't at rest.Then it hits me. “So that’s why you have been traveling!” She nods.I grimace. “You’ve been traveling into no
CHAPTER 16 - DON'T TELL ANYONE ELARIS My eyes turns to slits. “I’m what?” He doesn't utter another word. I rub my chin. “I could have sworn It was your chest I targeted and not your head.” Cassiel glowers at me. “Very funny.” “Indeed, It’s very funny.” I open the fridge and bring out ingredients and loaves of bread, intent on making a sandwich but Cassiel isn't done talking. “You need proper food, this is why I insisted…” My finger clenches around the packet of bread. “On cooking for me? You’re not with me. Are you trying to get your pack to talk about me or what?” His voice comes out strained, “I’m trying to help you.” Cassiel reaches out for the items in my hands but I move away “I can help myself. You should be asleep Alpha, you have pack duties to run tomorrow. If anyone is supposed to be cooking, isn't it an Omega?” He takes a step closer. “We no longer allow Omegas to stay up late for work, nor do they do other stressful activities.” I blink rapidly. “
CHAPTER 15 - LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU ELARIS He smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes, “I had a feeling you would say that.” I tip my chin at him. “So, you can go ahead and say the words.” He’s still for a moment then he shakes his head. “I can't right now.” I inhale, trying to calm my racing heart, “Why not?” “My pack needs me right now, Elaris. I can't afford to break the bond right now, it would weaken me. My pack needs me right now, please understand.” “Alright. So what you mean is that you won't break it until your pack recovers from the blight?” He swallows. “I can't.” I wave my hand. “That’s fine. I will give my blood for the pack.” His eyes widens, and he sits straighter. “You will?” I nod. “Yes, but you have to break the bond right after.” There’s silence then, “I will.” “You have to swear it.” “I have no reason to hold onto the bond anymore.” Right, he’s with Melody while I'm with Malrik. My throat tightens, why does this still hurt? “Very well,” I rise from the
CHAPTER 14 - ACCEPT MY REJECTION ELARIS Melody calls a nearby guard. “Get our guests settled in.” When he arrives, he stares up at the Lycans literally and frowns. “Alright Luna.” Together with Melody and Michael, we head for the pack clinic. When we step into it, the pup is already laid on a stretcher and is being rushed somewhere by the pack doctors. “Cover her nose! Cover her nose!” the mother sobs. The nose mask she’s wearing barely muffles it. “Maybe it’s the blight. I don't want her getting infected please.” They open a ward door and she tries to follow them inside but one of the doctors blocks her. “Wait outside, we can't have you in here for the examination.” She stares emptily at them and they close the door behind her. Her eyes remains fixed on the door for what felt like forever before she crumbles to the floor. She pulls her dress up to her mouth to stifle the sound of her cries. “Goddess please, she’s too young. Too young. Don't do this to me, I beg you.” My thr
CHAPTER 5 - THE BLIGHT Three years later Cassiel’s pov That sharp pain An Alpha feels when a mind link snaps, when the end of the link connected to pack member goes silent is heart wrenching. In the literal sense. This happens either when a wolf had gone rogue or had lost their life. The latt
CHAPTER 4 - THE LYCAN EMERGES Sharp pain slices through my chest, making me gasp. But without a wolf, I couldn’t experience the full pain of breaking a bond. Caspian falls to his knees, clawing at his chest, blood seeps through his chest down his hands. I take a step towards him then stop. I sta
CHAPTER 3 - I REJECTED HIM I let out a breath and forced myself to relax. When I turn back, there’s a fake smile plastered on my face. Soon enough I’m standing in front of Cassiel, Melody, Michael and our delta’s son; Cody. Michael grins at me. “In the two years that we left, you have already gr
CHAPTER 1 - The SlapI punched Cassiel in the face. He doesn’t fight back, just let me do it. I punch him harder, sinking my fist into his cheek.“What happened to us?” I whisper, my eyes lowering.“I’m not an expert at this but I'm sure that’s not the proper way to knead a dough,” Liora says as sh
