GrainneFive years agoI spent the past two weeks alone locked up in my room, crying myself to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares.He raped me.I hadn't told anyone. Who would believe that their alpha sexually assaulted me? He'd probably get away with it. The longer I stayed locked up in my room, the worse it got. I just had to do something, anything, just to get rid of the pain.I made my way out of my room and headed straight to the training grounds, but on my way, I saw that they had ended today's schedule. We only had a few hounds attack now and then. But it wouldn't hurt if we got ready for an inevitable futuristic battle. My father was with some young wolf bloods. He looked at me with an excited smile and waved at me. I sauntered toward him, and he dismissed the shifters, acknowledging my presence.“Hey, sweetie.” He pulled me into an embrace.“Hi, dad. How are you?”“I should ask you that. I haven't seen you in weeks,” he smiled with a concerned look.
FreyIt's been a week since Shannon left the pack. In her absence, the coven continued to take their training seriously, and I have equally mastered the skills required for basic spell casting. Agatha said it was time for me to use my grimoire and told me we would kick off tomorrow, take things one at a time because of my pregnancy. There was only a month left and I would be due. I was so excited to meet and hold them in my arms for the first time. I hadn't come to terms with the entirety of my powers because sometimes I wondered if I would understand what I was or if it would remain auras and weaves forever. Again, I was equally nervous about how my growing abilities would affect my unborn pups.We were having a meeting at the courthouse to decide on Regan’s fate. We wouldn't kick him out of the pack. The Elders had to ensure that he was eligible to stay with us as Logan had made his former decision hurriedly. Upon arrival at the Elder woods, I met the ranked wolves gathered in the c
LoganI kissed Frey goodbye and left with Tyler to do the duties that were unattended to in my absence. If there was one thing, it was that I had a family who stood by me through everything and still believed that I could lead the pack. What I did was irreparable and I would spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins if need be. There was a future for us, the wolves and witches, and it might not be soon, but I could tell.Tyler nudged my shoulders, pulling me out of my thoughts as we marched down the road. “Hey, are you ok?”“Yeah, I'm fine. Just having some reflections on what happened.”“The only way you can move on is to accept the fact that it has happened and you can't change the outcome. But what you can change is yourself, so it doesn't affect your future.” Tyler advised. Ok, since when did he get so good at the whole counsel thing. He saw the look of surprise and confusion on my face and he chuckled, saying, “It’s ok. I had to join a therapy session organized by the witches
GrainneTyler shielded his face from the abrupt rays of light that emerged into the dark corner that I had locked him up in for a goddess knows how long. The wolves dragged him out of the shit hole, down to the hallway, three turns to the left and one to the right. We arrived at the torture chamber and they pushed him to the cold, hard floor.Falkor was standing in front of the fire, watching over the poker heated by the hot flames.The hounds lifted him effortlessly from the floor, bound him to the chains strapped to the ceiling. His feet were about six inches above the ground, with his head bowed.“Grainne, what are you doing?” he shook his head in denial. “Look at me!” he growled. I arched my brows, completely taken aback by this whole new morale that he had suddenly developed even though he was in captivity. I folded my arms across my chest and rolled my eyes as I stepped toward him slowly.“Don’t worry, Tyler. This is just the beginning.”“You are in collaboration with these monst
LoganGrainne and Tyler went after the wolves that had breached the pack's territory. I had to understand why the barrier wasn't working since the witches tied the spell to the oak tree in the compound or whether a witch compromised the barricade.Alex and I headed to the witch’s side of the pack while Regan and Keaton returned to the pack house to ensure that our mates and children were safe.We arrived at the coven's dwellings; I saw three young witches standing in a circle with their hands entwined together, talisman wrapped around their wrists, and lips moving in sync. Aiden was observing them and asking them to restart the spell each time they failed. I didn't know what kind of spell this was because of the unfamiliar language, but it must have been some kind of defensive spell and might have disrupted the barrier.When Aiden saw me, he broke off the group and marched toward me with arched brows as he noticed the confused expression on my face. “What is it, Alpha?”“Hounds got int
FreyI paced the floor agitatedly as I waited for Logan’s return. It was almost midnight and they were supposed to be back by now. Adelyn and I had put the kids to bed, and Valor and the team had patrolled the pack territory, ensuring the safety of every wolf blood.“Aren’t you supposed to be in bed?” I heard, and I looked over my shoulder, glimpsing Regan, who was standing behind me with his hands folded across his chest.“I have to wait for him.”“Logan will be fine. You need to go to bed and get some rest. I'll call you when he's back. Promise.” He smiled, and I exhaled deeply as I took his words to heart. I didn't know if it was the right thing to do, but my mind wouldn't sit well with me knowing that my mate was out there and could be in danger.I believed his words.Beaming at him, I exhaled deeply and trudged to my room with a stench of exhaustion oozing from me. I reached for the door handle when I appeared in front of my room’s entrance. Twisting the doorknob, I stepped into m
LoganI still recalled how she disappeared into the woods, leaving us behind with these monsters. My best friend betrayed me. She turned against me. All these years I had lost her, I thought I got her back. I thought we could make something out of what we had in the past, but unfortunately, she had other plans.Earlier, a patrol member informed me that Grainne and the hounds took Tyler away, but I didn't want to believe that. I informed Frey about this discovery. We both didn't want to believe it. I had faith in Grainne, but it turned out that she was long gone. I just didn't know that we would walk into a large ensnare that we'd had to fight through before we could escape.The pack would be in danger if we didn't make it back, so I had told Frey to leave with the kids and Adelyn if things go south. I informed Shannon that she should help me with protecting my mate and kids just until I made it back. If I made it back. I hoped my plans would work because if it didn't. These violent cre
FreyI recalled the flashes of what happened last night and the new level of magic I had manifested to protect myself. My eyes fluttered open, and I glimpsed the clump of trees ahead of me. I welcomed the morning sunlight and the wonder of nature that was in front of me. Great, I was in a car in an unknown place. I saw Shannon standing in front of the vehicle I had spent the night in, and I unhooked my seatbelt and climbed down from the car, heading toward her.“How did you find me?”“It wasn't difficult. Logan told me you were in danger, so all I had to do was follow your magic signature.” She answered. Not sure if we were both excited to see each other.She pulled her hair into a bun and marched back to the car. I followed her instantly, dragging my weak knees along with me. I still felt the soreness on my feet from racing through the woods last night.“Let’s find Adelyn and the kids.” I proposed.“They’re safe at home.”“What do you mean? You didn't see what happened last night. Gra
