My body shook violently at the sound of Kael’s scream, and for moment, I didn’t know what to do. He was squirming in pain, nails digging into the ground as if he was looking for something to transfer his pain onto, but it was just us here.
The sound of his bone cracking filled the air, and I could feel his muscles straining. I didn’t understand a thing that was happening to him, which made my heart race faster. What if it was the poison? He’s not going to die, right?
This was my cue to run as fast as my legs could take me and go get some help, but I couldn’t even bring myself to leave, even when my presence wasn’t doing anything to help.
What if he died before I returned? The thought of him taking his final breath alone without anyone by his side made me panic, and I found myself holding onto his hands tightly.
His grip tightened against my hands, and I could feel the pain radiating through his being. His eyes were squeezed shut, breath ragged, as he panted out heavily.
His body shook like it was about to split into two, and I hated hoy useless I felt for just sitting and watching him in so much pain.
Something was definitely wrong. I didn’t think the wolfsbane should be strong enough to make him feel this way. worst-case scenario, he’d die from burning out, but not this.
But then again, everything I’ve heard about wolfsbane and its reaction was hearsay, and I have no idea what it does to people before killing them.
My breath hitched, and it felt like my heart was about to explode when he suddenly stopped thrashing.
“Kael! Kael!!!” I slapped his cheeks repeatedly. Tears blurred my vision as I kept screaming his name.
My goodness! What would I tell Alpha Zane? I watched his son de when I could have gone back to get some help. That I selfishly stayed by his side because I’d rather watch him die than have him take his last breath in my absence.
Hot tears burned my cheeks as I stared at Kael’s lifeless body, bu something felt strange. His temperature was flaming hot. I blinked twice, trying to register what was happening when his eyes flickered open.
“Kael! Thank goodness you’re alive!”
I inhaled a breath I didn’t realize I was holding when brown fur began to sprout all over him. I shifted backward, confused at what was happening, and before I could even blink, a large, fier, brown wolf stood before me.
I stared blankly at the big wolf in front of me. This was the first front of the pack or during the ceremony like everyone had bee
How is that even possible?
ne he’d fully shifted, and he did it in front of me? Not in longing for, but in front of me.
From what I recalled, he needed to be fully initiated by the coupil to be able to do that, and the ceremony didn’t even happen before he went missing so how did he manage to do this
His wolf stared me in the eyes, and even though it was bigger than most wolves I had ever seen, it didn’t look intimidating or trying to scare me.
Ignoring the way my heart was pounding, I brought my hands this body hesitantly, caressing his für gently, and he seemed to melt into my touch.
A let out a low groan, and I couldn’t tell if it was out of satisfaction or anger. He leaned into my touch, and even though my heart was on the verge of exploding, I tried not to run.

He brought his head to my neck, sniffing my body, and my body went still. I parted my lips to speak but could only make out a ragged breath.
He soon collapsed and went back to his human form, making my wonder what the hell just happened. His body was drenched in sweat. Chest heaving, as he tried to adjust, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it’d feel like to be mated to someone just as powerful.
He drifted back to sleep, and just when I thought it was the best me to get some help, he held my hands again.
“I want us to be alone,” he said softly, and something stirred inside me.
He looked like he could use some rest after what had just happened to him, but when he sat up and patted the space next to him for me to sit, I didn’t argue with him.
We stayed there for a moment with us quietly, and the only sound that could be heard was that of our breath. For the first time, staying with Kael didn’t feel uncomfortable. I found myself enjoying the warmth coming from his body a little too much, and I didn’t want it to stop.
“Do you know how I found this place?” He asked, staring into empty space, and I shook my head.
His lips curved up ever so slightly, and that seemed to be the real smile I had seen on his face in a while.
“I snuck out of the house that evening after hearing my mother arguing with my father because of me. I didn’t know what it was about, but I hated how my mother used to bottle up her emotions in front of me and pretend everything was fine.”
He shook his head at the thought, and I didn’t interrupt him. I placed my hands on his so he’d know I was listening while he continued.
“I just kept wandering in the woods that day and didn’t even realize how deep I had gone until I heard a strange sound and got curious to know where it was coming from.”
“Do you always have a bad relationship with your father?” I found myself asking before I could stop, and his body tensed against mine.
I knew I should have never asked the question and didn’t even expect him to give me an answer until his voice broke the silence.
“My mother became really sick after giving birth to me, and eve though my father never said it, the look in his eyes whenever my mother had her crisis says it all. I bet he wished I was never born.”
I held his hands, stroking them softly. I didn’t know if at a point lpha Zane really thought of that, but after seeing how he literally broke down when he heard that Kael was attacked and maybe even dead, I knew for sure that he cared about him deeply.
“At one point, I hated myself too, you know?” He said, turning head slightly to look at me. “I felt guilty every time I saw my mother in pain, and knowing that it was mostly my fault did’t make it feel any better.”
“You know it’s not your fault, right?” I said, searching his eyes and hoped he knew I wasn’t just saying it to make him feel
better.
“Your mother’s health would have worse
worsen even if you weren’t born, so instead of blaming yourself why don’t you try to cherish the moment you shared instead?”
He nodded, but I could tell that he had a lot on his mind. I didn expect him to open up to me or tell me about his mother, let alone how he felt about it, but I appreciate that he opened up to me.
“We should probably head back,” I finally broke the silence. “The pack house was still filled, and I bet everyone was still

waiting to complete the ceremony.”
He drawled out a sigh at the mention of the ceremony, and I wondered why he never seemed thrilled about it.

As if he heard my thoughts, he answered me. “Becoming the Alpha is just one of the many responsibilities that is dumped on me, and no one cared if I wanted it or not.”
He sounded like he was exhausted, and for a moment, I thought maybe I was imagining it. “You don’t want to become the Alpha?”
“I don’t want to be a lot of things, Nevaeh,” he whispered, and the way my name rolled off his tongue sent goosebumps all over my body.
Hearing someone like Kael had a rough childhood stirred something inside me. Half of the time, I thought everything that happened to me was because of my ill luck, but it seemed even the strongest men fight their own battles.
“My mother confessed to killing my father,” I blurted before I could stop myself.
Kael studied my expression as if he was worried I’d cry, and I wasn’t sure that was the reaction I was expecting.
“Are you okay?” He finally asked, and I blinked back the tears tha blurred vision.
my
“I’m fine,” I lied, but it doesn’t matter how long it has been, I just couldn’t stop crying each time I remembered my father had to die because of my mother’s selfish reasons.
“I’ll look into it and bring justice to whoever was responsible, even if it’s your mother,” he vowed.
A tear slipped down my cheeks, and Kael brushed it off tenderly His eyes bore into mine as his thumb lingered on my cheeks, stroking it lightly.
My breath hitched from how close he was. He leaned closer, his ps just a few inches away from mine, and neither of us made a move. Our breath synced, eyes locked on each other, as my heart skipped a beat.
“Kael…”
He closed the distance and kissed me passionately, swallowing whatever I was about to say. It was soft, slow and rhythmic. He snuck his hands to my back, pulling me closer until I could feel his warmth on my body.
I parted my lips, granting him more access, and a low groan escaped his lips the moment our tongue entwined. It wasn’t the first time we’d kiss, but something felt different with this one.
He soon grew impatient. He bit my lower lips, earning a gasp from me. He told the opportunity to deepened the kiss exploring every depth of my mouth, and gods, his taste is addictive.
His hands dropped to my chest, squeezing me through the material, and I let out a low moan. He carried me swiftly until 1 was now sitting on his lap and I could feel the bulge, poking me.
I didn’t know where I got the confidence from, but I found myself swaying my hips, grinding his already hard cock. He cursed under his breath as his hands went into my hair.
He broke the kiss, dragging, his wet tongue tongue to my neck, ad my body trembled. He found a spot and began to nibbled on it, sending me to the edge without doing much.
A wave of pleasure build in the pit of my stomach and I didn’t want it to end. His hands went to the zipper at the back ofvmy dress, leaving it undone. My body froze the moment my dress dopped to my hips, leaving my upper side bare before him.
I didn’t bothered to wear a bra because it was late already and I was going to disappear into my room early anyway, but the moment my boobs bounced in front of him, my breathed caugh

I threw my head back, breath ragged as I grind myself harder against his bulge. His free hands went between my legs. trailing their ways up until they met with my pussy walls and 1 sirmed at his touch.
His fingers brushed against my clit, making me squirt all over his hands.
“By the moon, Nevach!”
His mouth left my boobs again, and I missed his warmth immediately. He buried his head in my neck, kissing and nibbling on a spot like a starved animal, while his fingers worked inside me, leaving me aching mess.
I rocked my hips against his fingers, wanting to feel him deep inside me. My body trembled with desire and Kael seemed to know exactly what to do with it.
I threw my head back, the sound of moan echoing between the walls, when I felt Kael’s teeth, grazing my skin.
My eyes snapped open as my neck burned from his touch. My hart was racing twice the normal amount at the thought of Kael making me.
I pushed him off hurriedly, and when my eyes fell on the blood on his lips, my body trembled.
