Chapter: Chapter 78: The realization ~Amara~The room was a blur of soft, golden light and muted shadows as I opened my eyes. My mind felt like it was wading through fog, heavy and uncertain. I was unable to piece things together in the smallest ways, and it made my brain feel like it had a work sensory overload. The faint crackle of fire reached my ears, its warmth chasing away a cold that must have settled in my bones.But…where was this?Even through my haze, I could tell that this wasn’t a place that I’d been in before. It looked foreign. It smelt foreign.I blinked, my gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar surroundings. Where was I? The walls, painted in warm earth tones, held no answers. A large armchair stood near the bed, and in it sat a man slouched forward, his head resting on the edge of the bed that I lay on.Why does it feel like I had the whole world resting on my hand? Did I perhaps add a whole lot of weight while in this unfamiliar territory?With a bit of effort, I looked down at my hand and realized the

Chapter: Chapter 77: The promise~Lucian~I raised my hands in surrender, wondering what could have gone wrong the few days that she had been asleep.“It’s me, Amara. It’s Lucian.”“You,” she spat, her body quaking with sobs. “It was you. You killed all those people. You want to kill my child. You killed Chad. You killed my friend. You!”There was definitely something wrong somewhere. How could she mistake me for Adrik, of all people?“Baby, please, stop. You need to calm down,” I said, slowly reaching for me.“I’ll only be able to calm down once you’re dead. By my hand. You devil!”I stood, more confused as Amara charged toward me, her fury a whirlwind of raw emotion. Her yells sliced through the air, accusing me of things so heinous I could hardly process them. Chad’s murder? Threatening our unborn pup? It wasn’t me—it could never be me. But how would I convince her when she was like a furious bear?“Amara, stop! It’s not me who did all those things to you. It’s Adrik! I would never intentionally hurt you like tha

Chapter: Chapter 76: Finally awake~Lucian~My heart thrummed loudly as I held her hand, praying that she would be in perfect health when she wakes up. I still couldn’t forgive myself for all that had happened to her, but I wouldn’t have even survived blaming myself if she had succeeded in killing herself.I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t decided to follow her after I saw Adrik and his guards moving suspiciously. Whatever could have made her decide to cut her wrist and bleed away?My eyes went to the slash mark on her wrist. It was faint now and was healing just fine. The herb that Georgia had applied to it worked perfectly. But it has been three days now and she was yet to wake up. I was starting to get more anxious as the hours ticked by.“Don’t you think you should get some rest now? You’ve not left her side for three days. We wouldn’t want to have two ailing werewolves on our hands,” Selene, the alpha of the Pack who had helped us, said.I turned to look at the middle-aged, kind-looki

Chapter: Chapter 75: I've lost everything~Amara~I couldn’t run anymore. I was out of breath, and my stomach was cramping badly. I could still hear the chaos behind us even as Chad held my hand tightly while we ran.“C-Chad, I-I don’t think I can do this anymore. I can’t run anymore” I gasped, slipping my hand off Chad’s and crumbling to the ground.He immediately came to me and knelt beside me, his eyes searching mine with urgent intensity. He felt my forehead and cursed softly under his breath. The curse became even louder when his eyes fell on my legs.“You’ve been hit by an arrow. Possibly poisoned, by the look of the surface area. Hold on, I’ll take it off.”He laid me on my back and held up my leg. I watched him, almost unconsciously as he asked if I was ready.No, I wasn’t ready. Not for anything. Not now or ever. I just wanted to have a semblance of peace in my life. Why was that so hard? Why couldn’t the moon goddess grant me that one wish?I screamed as I felt the arrow sliding out from my flesh. Almost immediatel

Chapter: Chapter 74: Surrounded~Amara~When the third arrow grazed my cheek, Chad quickly stood and grabbed my hand. Taking one long look at Lydia, I mouthed “I’m sorry” and prepared to flee. But our pursuers were already unto us.Immediately we turned, we saw that we had been surrounded on all sides by werewolves. They snarled as they slowly closed in on us, their eyes burning, and their mouth drooling. I didn’t need a seer to tell me that they were Adrik’s men. He had finally caught onto our plans.“You really think you could run away so easily from me?”I swung around and there was Adrik standing in the circle that the werewolves had created. His countenance was furious and there and then, I understood that our chances of getting out of this were slim.Chad pulled me behind him and came in front of me, trying to shield me from Adrik’s fury. But that was a stupid gesture. A brave one, but also stupid. Adrik could only be so angry with me, but for him, he would be double furious with him.Lydia groaned again, and

Chapter: Chapter 73: The escape~Amara~It was the signal, the one I’d been waiting for. The Hollow Ball that Adrik held wavered and then vanished, along with the shimmering lights and strange haze of power that had filled the room. He rose to his feet, his gaze dark as he turned to me.“Omega, stay here. Guards!” he barked, calling them to his side. “I’ll deal with whatever this is.”I nodded, forcing myself to look as calm as possible even though my pulse was racing. As soon as Adrik left the room, my instincts took over, and I darted for the door, every nerve on fire with anticipation. Chad would be waiting for me. I could hardly believe that soon we’d be free of this place, but I knew every second counted.Apart from that fact, I didn’t want Lucian blocking me or even trying to talk about what happened in the past. I wasn’t up for that at all. All I wanted was to get to where Chad was in one piece.I was halfway down the hall when a figure appeared, blocking my path. I gasped, thinking that it was one of Adrik’s

Chapter: Chapter 5: Dead…or not~Valerie~“Is she really breathing now?”“I actually thought she would die since her wolf never showed up”.“Tell the alpha that the prisoner is awake”The noise and voices were just too much for me to handle. If I had known that the afterlife would be this noisy, maybe I wouldn’t have tried to kill myself. The main reason I decided to slash my wrist was to die and rest in peace. This noise totally defeated the purpose.But as sudden as the voices came, they disappeared. The peace and calm that I expected finally descended. I slowly cracked my eyes open, excited to finally uncover the mystery of the underworld. A sharp beam of light made me squint and reach over my eyes to cover it with my palm. That was too bright even for a living wolf. Maybe werewolves are supernaturally recharged here so that they’ll withstand even the most stringent things.I took a deep breath and immediately regretted it. The air was heavy with the smell of strong antiseptics. The longer I stayed in this under

Chapter: Chapter 4~Valerie~“Whip, whip” The tongue of the whips tore through my skin like a knife slicing through a portion of red meat. The pains ricocheted through my body, making me weak. I had lost count of the whips that I had already been given. All I wanted to do then was probably join my dead parents in whatever world they were in right now. I am mad at them. Yes. Mad for letting themselves get murdered. Mad for leaving me all alone in this world. And mad for not leaving me under any insurance at all.An omega? I killed them? I couldn’t believe how my life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. “That is enough. You will kill her at this point” a voice filtered from the doorway. I looked up from where I was sprawled on the floor and saw Cordy standing there.And why in the heavens is the son of the bald alpha not with his mother yet? Is he here to make sure that the pain is served cold?“Alpha Lockwood ordered that hundred strokes…” the guard started.“I said, enough!” Cordy growled. “Get

Chapter: Chapter 3~Valerie~I couldn’t understand why the Pack council decided to hastily bury my parents in the space of six hours, especially for a Beta who was murdered. As long as I can remember, it takes at least one week before burial so that the relevant authorities can lay their hands on whatever evidence they can get their hands on. My eyes swept through the crowd at the burial ground. There were so many people; a lot of them that I didn’t particularly know. But Pack is family, right? I glanced around for a sign of Cordy but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe I’m trying to build castles in the air but I still refuse to accept that Cordy had rejected me last night. The bond that we have is too strong for that to happen. And the way he looked at me before the sudden decision that he took, I saw that he still loves me. Maybe I had seemed so needy. Isn’t that why he called me promiscuous?I sniffled and turned my attention back to the two graves before me. At this point, my red, puffy eyes could

Chapter: Chapter 2~Valerie~I watched as he walked to the restroom, my heart pounding in my chest. I wondered what it was that he needed to show me in the restroom. I counted twenty seconds off my fingers and stood, took my purse, and headed to meet him.I opened the door and found him patiently waiting for me with a dangerous glint in his eyes.“Cordy, what was it that you couldn’t show me out there? Are you trying to murder…”Before the sentence could roll off my tongue, I found myself banged up against a wall with Cordy’s tongue invading my mouth. It made me breathless and giddy. But damn, it was the hottest kiss I’ve ever gotten from him. I went on a tip-toe, wrapped my hands around his neck, and opened my mouth more, giving him unlimited access. But then he pulled back, warranting a groan of non-appreciation from me.“What was it that you said again? About me not affecting you hm?” he whispered in my ear while his hands assaulted my body.I moaned and arched towards him, wanting him to stop the on

Chapter: Chapter 1~Valerie~I stared defiantly at my father who was tired of explaining the same thing to me because as usual, I am stubborn and I never listen; at least not when it comes to matters of the heart. He puffed out an exasperated breath and took two dangerous steps closer to me. I took two steps back and my stare wavered a bit because there was no denying of the authority in those steps that he just took. But no, I will not back down.“Have you been listening to anything that I’ve been saying for the past twenty minutes?” my father said, a bit too softly for my liking.My father Rohan, is the Beta and second in command of our pack, Silverhowl Pack which made him able to afford so not-so-basic things in life. We have a big beautiful house and a little respect which comes from the title. Anyway, my father has been having a fit ever since I told him that Cordy, the first son of the alpha, is my mate. He and the alpha seem to have a good relationship so why is he trying to talk me out of lettin
