ELIZABETH POVThe cold metal in my throat sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let panic overtake me. I focused on maintaining a composed facade, even as my heart raced with terror.Suddenly, a deep, authoritative voice cut through the tense atmosphere. "That's enough, Marcus."The rogue's grip loosened, and he reluctantly released me, allowing me to step back. I turned my attention to the source of the voice and saw a tall, imposing figure standing a few steps away. It was Victor, the leader of the rogues.My eyes locked with Victor's, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and apprehension. He was known for his ruthlessness and cunning, and crossing paths with him was never a good sign. But perhaps, in this moment, he could be my salvation.Victor's piercing gaze shifted from me to Marcus, the rogue who had just held me captive. His voice remained calm, but there was an unmistakable edge to it, a warning that brooked no disobedience."You know the rules, Marcus,"
ELIZABETH POVI watched as he handed me a weapon with a steady hand, his eyes fixed on me expectantly. I hesitated, feeling a surge of conflicting emotions within me. Part of me wanted to believe that there might be another way, a path that didn't involve taking a life. But another part understood the seriousness of the situation and the importance of gaining Victor's trust.Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly reached out and accepted the weapon from Victor's outstretched hand. Its weight felt heavy in my grasp, and I couldn't help but wonder if this moment would forever change who I was.As I approached the prisoner, his eyes widened with a mix of fear and pleading. I wanted to tell him that I didn't want to do this, that I was trapped in a situation beyond my control. But words failed me, and all I could offer was a silent apology.The dungeon was dimly lit, and the air felt heavy with tension as I raised the weapon, my hands trembling slightly. Time seemed to slow down as I grappl
EDEN POV"Why are you so into finding out about the Alpha of the midnight pack?" Adele asked me while we both painted.I looked at Adele. 'It's hard to explain, Adele," I replied, my voice filled with a sense of wonder. "There's just this magnetic pull, this inexplicable connection I feel towards him. It's like an unbreakable thread tying me to them, pulling me deeper into his world.""Is he by chance your new love interest?" She asked but i wiggled my head instantly.I chuckled softly as the thought crossed my mind, my paintbrush still in hand, as I dismissed Adele's assumption. "No, no, it's not about romance at all. It's something deeper, something that resonates with me on a soul level."Adele furrowed her brow, clearly intrigued by my response. "So, what is it then? What makes this Alpha so captivating to you?"I paused, thinking of a way to explain. "I had met him during the Alpha ball and he seemed to know enough about me, something just seemed skeptical about him!" I explained
EDEN POVWe both seemed to have ended up having paint all over our bodies while we laughed at each other but my whole attention was soon diverted when the familiar voice of Scott echoed in the air.I turned my head towards the source of the voice, my heart skipping a beat as I saw Alpha Scott standing there, his eyes twinkling with amusement at our paint-covered state. I felt a slight blush creep up my cheeks, a mix of embarrassment and excitement swirling within me."Having fun, are we?" Alpha Scott asked, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his lips but they instantly halted when he saw Owen.I exchanged a quick glance with Owen, both of us realizing the predicament we were in. I straightened up, trying to regain some composure despite the paint splatters on my face and clothes."We...uh...got a little carried away," I stammered, trying to find the right words.Alpha Scott's gaze shifted between Owen and me, his expression turning serious. "You know better than to engage in f
THIRD PERSON POV"Do you have any connection with Beta Elliot of the Midnight pack?" Scott finally asked, breaking the silence between them.Fiona seemed skeptical about the question that hung in the air. She had never heard of a name like that but why was he asking?Fiona furrowed her brow, contemplating Scott's question. The name "Beta Elliot of the Midnight pack" was unfamiliar to her, and she couldn't fathom why he would inquire about such a person. Her curiosity piqued, she decided to respond honestly."No, Scott, I'm afraid I don't have any connection with Beta Elliot or the Midnight pack," Fiona replied, her voice laced with skepticism. "I'm not familiar with either of them. Why do you ask? Is there something specific you're looking for?"Scott leaned back a little, a thoughtful expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to share his reason for asking."The night of the Alpha ball, you had said his name in your sleep while we headed back to your
ELIZABETH POVThree days into the rogue camp, things seemed to be normal apart from their attitude towards the pack members. There was nothing basically linking the rogues to the hidden Silent that I had noticed. As I observed the rogues from within their camp, it appeared that they were going about their daily activities much like any other pack. They hunted for food, patrolled the perimeter of their territory, and interacted with one another. However, there was an underlying tension in the air, a sense of unease that emanated from their interactions with the pack members.Despite their seemingly normal behavior, the rogues exhibited a distinct lack of trust and warmth towards the pack members. They kept their distance, rarely engaging in friendly conversation or showing any signs of camaraderie. It was as if they were maintaining a strict boundary between themselves and the rest of the pack.As I continued my observations, I searched for any clues or indications that could link the
ELIZABETH POVFear gripped me as I realized the guards were heading in my direction. I knew I had to act quickly to escape their grasp to be able to continue my investigation. Panic surged through my veins as I turned and sprinted away from where I stood. I decided to use the back bamboo tree to run into the woods for the meantime.As I sprinted towards the bamboo wilderness, the tall stalks provided some cover, concealing me from the guards' view. The rustling sound of the bamboo leaves masked my footsteps, making it harder for them to track my movements.Branches whipped against my skin, and the underbrush scratched at my legs as I pushed myself to run faster, fueled by the despiration to evade capture. I focused on maintaining silence, careful not to make any more noise that could give away my position.The forest grew dense, with towering trees and thick vegetation blocking out most of the moonlight. I knew this was my chance to lose the guards, but the fear of being caught stil
THIRD PERSON POVElizabeth groaned in pain while she tried to find shelter for the night, a bird chipped by the nearby tree while she dragged herself into the open path.Elizabeth's body ached with exhaustion as she trudged through the darkening forest. The weight of the world seemed to press down on her weary shoulders, making each step a painful endeavor. She desperately needed to find shelter for the night, a place where she could rest her battered body and escape the thought of still being caught.As she stumbled forward, a sharp pain shot through her side, causing her to wince. She clutched her injured rib and gritted her teeth, she had grazed her ribs at the rocks. To push through the agony. The sound of a chirping bird nearby broke the stillness of the forest, its cheerful melody contrasting sharply with Elizabeth's current state.With every ounce of strength she could muster, Elizabeth made her way toward a small clearing in the distance. The path leading there was overgrown
EPILOGUESCOTT POVDay had turned to weeks and now I was here panicking even if I had said I wouldn't panic. I almost passed out from a panic attack right now. The hospital room was closing on me because of what I was seeing right now. "Alpha, do you need water?" The doctor asked ushering the nurse beside her to perhaps get me water by the nature of my pale face. "I think I'm doing incredibly fine!" I responded while I tried to wipe the sweat that won't stop trickling down my forehead. I had seen so many birth explanations but it didn't honestly do justice to what I was basically seeing right now. Eden was trying hard to push a baby while she ate some fruit. She was basically glowing and her skin not even close to pale, she looked basically breathtaking with pregnancy. I knew that I was basically going to miss all this period during her pregnancy. I didn't even realize how long I was having such thoughts until she held onto my shirt very tightly. "Are you just going to stand the
THIRD PERSON POVEIGHT MONTH LATERScott couldn't believe that he had stayed a week without Eden by his side. She had gone to stay with her Dad at their pack, everything entirely had been a dull moment for him. He had managed to explain everything to everybody in his pack including Fiona's parents who seemed hurt but understood that anything could happen in the supernatural world. He stared at the window and he knew that he couldn't wait for her to return so they could hug, cuddle, kiss and make better memories than what they had gone through before. Scott tapped the desk in front of him patiently glancing at the clock each and every second, he knew that she was supposed to have arrived.He hissed and packed the files he had been working on for a while. He walked outside to see if he could at least catch a glimpse of her from a distance but everywhere was filled with little kids playing around the pack happily. "Scott!" The familiar voice of Eden came, he turned to notice the broa
SCOTT POVI looked around, searching for any sign of the ancient artifact that might hold the key to breaking the witch's hold. There, in a corner, I spotted it—a glint of gold amidst the shadows.I ran towards the direction while both Eden and Fiona tagged behind me in fury and witch's influence.The moment I grabbed the object, a smirk appeared on my face in accomplishment. A perplexed expression masked on my face when I noticed that the witch seemed to be laughing very hard. The witch's laughter cut through the tense air, a harsh symphony of hostility. Her amusement sent a shiver down my spine, filling me with a sense of foreboding.I held the artifact tightly, my fingers tracing its ancient engravings. There had to be a reason for her reaction. I studied her closely, searching for any sign of vulnerability or weakness."What's so amusing?" I demanded, The witch's laughter slowly subsided, replaced by a wicked smile that seemed to stretch impossibly wide. Her eyes gleamed with an
SCOTT POVMy mind raced, trying to piece together a plan amidst the chaos. I had to buy time, find a way to break free from these accursed ropes. "What is it that you want?" I asked, trying to keep her engaged.She chuckled, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Simple, Alpha. Your compliance. Surrender your power willingly, and your precious Luna and her friend may yet live."I tried to use my claws to release my hold on the ropes in my hands while I prolonged the conversation. "Why are you doing this? What had they done to you?" I questioned.Her laughter faded, replaced by a chilling seriousness. "It's not about what they've done. It's about the power they hold, the power that could change the course of history. And I intend to wield it," she hissed, her eyes burning with an eerie intensity.I continued to work at the ropes, inching closer to freedom. Every second counted. "You won't succeed. The pack won't let you," I declared, my voice laced with defiance.She approached, her
SCOTT POV"Forgive me, I wish you two the best of luck. I need to talk with other guests!" He said before walking away like a total loser, I could sense the fire on his head while he left. I sighed before turning to stare at Eden before speaking. "I didn't mean to___" I was going to say but her fingers lightly touched my lips making me hush."I liked that you stepped in, that possessive part suits you!" She said making me feel better. "What about we kick in our plans? There are a lot of guards surrounding each exit and if we both decide to go out, we might end up becoming suspicious!" She said looking around. I smiled and then took her hands into mine. "What about we just stick together and create a plan on how to find Hercules himself? I can't possibly see him at the party because I heard he is down with the flu but that doesn't sit well with me." I explained. "We need to give the go-ahead in ten minutes when the party is in chaos. It is a great chance to act right away!" She sai
EDEN POVThe car ride to my former pack was tense and I could honestly tell that the both of us were trying so hard to hold ourselves from consuming one another. I'm sure that Scott would have pulled over if the ball wasn't something important for me, When we finally got to the pack. Scott sighed heavily before walking towards the side of my door to open it like a perfect gentleman. I had been here with Adele and I still had some lingering feelings left. I gave him my most charming smile while he held my hands to gently help me up from my seat. He nicely made sure that my dress wasn't hooked on anything or scratched by any means. He pulled me slightly into his hardened chest before shutting the door. He gave me a smile still holding onto me like I was some safe box, I couldn't help but ponder on why he had me in this position rather than starting out our plan. I blushed when he gently and softly placed a warm kiss on my forehead, his hands gently brushed the strand of my hair behi
EDEN POVMy hands gracefully touched the beading clothing that was nicely decorated. The gown was a short cocktail dress, shimmering with delicate sequins that caught the light. Its neckline traced an elegant curve, while the fabric flowed in gentle ripples with every movement. I smiled nervously at the reflector before turning to face both Elizabeth and Sasha. "What do you think about this gown? How do I look?" I questioned.Elizabeth's eyes sparkled with approval, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "You look absolutely stunning! The dress compliments you perfectly. It's like it was made for you."Sasha nodded in agreement, her expression reflecting genuine excitement. "I couldn't agree more. It's as if you were born to wear this dress. You're radiant in it and am sure that Scott would need someone to help him shut his mouth when he sees you in this dress."I couldn't help but blush at their kind words. "Thank you both so much. Your support means the world to me. And Sasha,
SCOTT POVMy hands gradually trailed to her ass again before speaking. "Does my touch here perhaps affect you?" I questioned. Before I could touch her towel, she was quick to move away. "I would have gladly allowed you to seduce me but I have something important to do, Scott. Tonight is the Alpha ball again at Hercules pack and we need to strike. I need a dress too, something short and elegant that I can fight in!" She said but I tugged her back on the bed and buried my nose in her shampoo hair. "You know that I want you to have fun but make sure not to pick something that would make me go crazy!" I said securing her into my arms tightly. "Then if making you crazy is by picking a sexy dress. I'm sorry but I'm tempted to do that!" She said, making me groan with a sheepish smile. "I knew that you love tormenting me already with your sexiness. My poor wolf!" I said and that had earned me a chuckle from her own end. I knew that my wolf was very much attached to Eden and would always
EDEN POVI wasn't allowing him to get all the possessiveness as I teased him while unbuttoning his clothing. I began to help him with his trouser which snapped him from his lustful gaze. He gently pulled my hands away from them while he pushed me back on the bed. I watched him pull the jeans off his waist himself. He was almost naked now, he was left with just his boxer that pretty much showed his huge and bulge erection."That is bigger__ than what I have seen the last time," I said, covering my mouth. He had a mischievous and proud smile as those words left my lips, he slowly pulled my thigh apart while he began to devour me in haste. He was devouring my pu___sy like a hungry animal. It was so good that I had to grasp his hair as he ate me out and I let out growls and groans. Deciding to move things forward a little, he moved up and brought his face close to my groin. Heat radiates off of me as he leans down to press his lips to her clit. I knew that he could hear me draw in a b
