The Slap

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 she comes to stand by my side.I gave the dough which I had been imagining as Cassiel, one last punch. “I know, just imagining it was your brother.”Yeah it’s only in my imagination that I, Elaris, the lowest ranking Omega, can punish the Alpha’s son.Liora snorts, picks an apple from the nearby bowl and takes a bite. She pulls out a nearby stool and sits beside me at the kitchen counter.The other Omegas in the kitchen carry on with their work, ignoring the two of us. We couldn’t afford to slack off, because the Bonding moon will take place today. An event which happens every five years at midnight.It’s the only time when wolves who are over eighteen are drawn to their fated partner.“He’s c

The Mate Pull

CHAPTER 2 - CASSIEL's RETURNIt sends me tumbling to the ground once more, a ragged breath leaving me as the tears I had been holding back streamed down my face.I glanced up at my assaulter and immediately lowered my face when I saw its Beta Thorn.He doesn’t say a word, just steps over my trembling form to where he’s heading.I get up to my feet, and wipe hurriedly at my tears. I will not let anyone else see me like this. Ignoring the sting in my cheek, I pick up my bucket and continue to my destination.That night after my kitchen duties, I laid cuddled on my cot in the closet turned room downstairs when someone barged into my room.I sit up with a start, my fingers curling around the handle of the knife under my blanket.I relax when I see Liora beaming at me from the doorway.I let out a sigh. “You didn’t have to break my door lock, you know.”She doesn’t acknowledge that, but runs to kneel by my side. “Elaris, he’s back!”My eyes go wide. “Cassiel?”She begins pulling me out of

I Rejected Him

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 grown much taller.” Cody adds quietly, “Taller than we expected.” Michael shoots him a quick look. Cody shrugs. “What? You brought it up.” “It’s fine,” I say, and truly it was. Even I was surprised at the way I had grown, as an Omega with no wolf. It would have been expected that I won't reach the height of an average werewolf. But I had grown much taller, much taller than the Alpha’s daughter which added to my list of abnormalities. Michael’s eyes narrow on my still reddened cheek. “What happened to your face?” Your dad did, but I don’t say that instead I place the tray forward. “Cookies?” I try not to look in Cassiel’s direction even though I can feel his gaze burning through the

The Lycan Emerges

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 stand there watching him gasp in pain. The one who had been my safe haven since I was six and had lost my father to exile.His friends go down trying to stop him from clawing at his chest. I clench my hands into fist to keep myself from pushing Melody away from him.She shoots an accusing look at me. What? Okay it’s bad now that I said it first.The pack members start closing in around us, looks of accusations thrown at me and I try not to shrink into myself.Caspian looks up at me, his eyes dark with raw pain. Fur begins sprouting out of his skin and I take a step back.When he begins getting back to his feet, I turn and run back to the packhouse.I push open the packhouse door, trying not to

The Blight

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 latter is the case here. Another sharp pain comes. Another link going silent. Another wolf under my care, gone. My hand tightens around the biro in my hand, my eyes staring blankly at the death reports on my desk. I have failed them. A knock comes on my door. “Come in.” My friend and beta, Michael walks in, his face grim. He slumps into the chair before my desk. “Any news from Cody?” “Not yet,” I reply, a cough coming up to my throat but I force it down. If the pack finds out the blight is also crawling through their Alpha’s system, the whole place will be in chaos. They can't afford to know. Enemies can't either. Michael drags his palm down his face.“It’s been two days. What’s keeping

Elaris or Lysara

CHAPTER 6 - ELARIS OR LYSARA“Yeah, according to the crone. The only way to cure the blight is by ingesting the blood of a lycan, given freely.”The whole room goes silent.“Is this a trap or something?” I ask slowly.Cody looks uneasy. “I don’t think so.”Michael says, “We have to give it a try, what other choice do we have.”“Where are we going to find a Lycan that would be willing to do that?” Melody asks. “We wolves have not exactly been friendly to them.”She was right, The wolves have always them viewed as barbaric and thus cut off from our trades and alliances. Their dealings are mostly with other species.“The witches also said, the last Lycan sighting was in the eastern lands,” Cody says.I let out a tired sigh. “A rogue? They are not the best candidate.”They would attack before we even get a word out.Cody rolls his eyes. “No. They said it wasn’t a rogue.”“The witches actually gave you all this info for free,” Michael's voice was filled with surprise.Cody hesitates. “No,

Provoked Her

CHAPTER 7 - PROVOKED HERCASSIELMate! My wolf howls joyfully within me.As usual I find myself being drawn to her. Even before we became mates, it had always been that way, her drawing me in, in ways I can't explain. I find myself falling hopelessly all over again.It felt like years ago, when her dad had been exiled and she was brought before us by the head warrior. She had peaked at me from behind the warrior legs. Big brown eyes filled with tears and at that moment, I knew I would do anything to protect her.How did I bring myself to let you go in the first place?I didn't realize I was moving towards Elaris until I had growling Lycans suddenly blocking my part.“My betrothed is beautiful no doubt,” Malik says. “But it’s best if you stay in your lane.”My eyes snap towards him. Betrothed? “What are you talking about?”My attention shifts back to my mate. He’s talking nonsense isn't he? “Elaris?”Those bright brown eyes snare me in, and I find myself drowning in them but she breaks

She's Back?

CHAPTER 8 - SHE'S BACK?CASSIELHe turns away from me and so does Elaris. He places his head on the small of her back as they head back. My eyes narrow in on the contact, my heart squeezing painfully in my chest.My wolf whines. Your fault.Goddess, what have I done?Cody moves towards me.Are you alright? His worried voice enters the mind link.I keep a hand out to stop him from helping me if he intends to. I have already shown enough weakness in front of these Lycans.Elaris, this female, I don't think I've had a single clear though anytime I've been with her. I might have just handled this situation badly.We should leave. I say.He frowns. But…They are itching for a fight. If we stay, we will give them an excuse to. I tell himHe nods and glances at the other wolves. They nod too and we begin heading back home. Only when we are far away from the Lycan, did I allow myself to spit the blood clogging my throat.***When I got back to the pack, Michael and Melody were already waiting

No

CHAPTER 9 - NO ELARIS The Lycan territory is large and it houses almost all the Lycans in this part of the country. Malrik's great grandfather had given the surviving Lycans refuge right here on this land, after the great war that raged years ago when the Lycans fought against the werewolf and witches. It has been passed down his generations and now handed over to Malik to rule; the one who hadn't hesitated to give me refuge three years ago. He gave me shelter, kindness, respect by finding me worthy to rule this territory with him. Trained me until I wasn't a helpless Omega to a Lycan who can stand her own ground. But I've been struggling to reciprocate one thing, his love for me. I’ve been denying that Cassiel is the main cause of it. Maybe I just need time to heal, I told myself but that touch earlier had ignited the fragile piece of thread that still binds us together. When I had left the pack, my Lycan had given control back to me. I slid to the ground and howled and wee

Ask For His Rejection

CHAPTER 9 - ASK FOR HIS REJECTION I look away from him so that I wouldn't see the hurt in his eyes as usual. “It’s fine,” he says hoarsely. I try to say something, anything, but the words just won't come out today. “I will be back later,” he kisses me on the forehead and walks out of the room. The bath is supposed to be calm but inside I find my mind flying all over the place until it stops at a particular memory. •••The sun is about setting over the horizon, time for young pups to head pack to the pack house but Cassiel and I don't care. It is one of those rare times that we have time to ourselves without other pups intruding.I pull my cardigan tighter to myself and peak at Cassiel from my side eye. He throws rocks into the lake, trying to make them skid on the water.I say, “The elders keep telling us we will know when we find our mate. Do you think about what it will feel like when you find your mate?”He stops throwing the rocks into the water, and looks at me curiously. We
