JAYDEN I was in a late meeting with important people when Sandra barged in. She looked worn out and scared. " Alpha... It's Catriona..." I dismissed the meeting and walked to a frightened Sandra. "What's wrong with Catriona?" Is something wrong with her brother? No Alpha, It's not about her brother. She'd been... Kidnapped by the vampires. She said with a trembling voice. What nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about that she'd kidnapped? And where were you? "Were you not supposed to stay inside, by her side and protect her? That was the only aim I gave you Sandra. "To protect her from danger." What were you doing when she got kidnapped? Were you just watching them take her away? Answer me... I yelled at her and she quivered in fear because she knows what happens when I get angry. I... She opened her mouth to say something but closed it. You what...? I want you to explain to me what exactly happened. I asked her in a calm tone. She explained everything
JAYDEN Jerome and the other pack members joined me in the fight. I'm so grateful that I have someone like Jerome in my life. I love him to the moon. I sometimes forget that I'm his Alpha when he treats me like we were both lactated on the same mother. My men including Jerome started tearing out the mother fuckers hearts and tore their limbs without my efforts. When I saw that my men could take care of those vampires without me, I decided to go back to the window where I smelled Catriona's scent. Before I could go any further, more vampires matched, coming towards the same direction I was heading. The number increased but they're no match to us. I trained my men very well. In my empire, I don't live with coward werewolves. They all know how to fight any danger. Except the young ones. Most of the weakling vampires fled away and the courageous ones remained. One of the vampires came from behind unnoticed and attacked one of my men, choking him. He bared his fangs ready to kill my man
JAYDEN What did you say, doctor? "Miscarried with one twin? How is it even possible? I asked him dumbfounded. Yes Alpha, it's very true and possible to miscarry with one twin. He said. I just arched my eyebrows bewildered. My heart was delighted that I was going to be a father of twins but now it looks like it's not going to happen. How's Catriona? She lost too much blood but she'll be fine. It's a miracle that the second twin survived. The way they tortured her might be a piece of cake to our kind but to her as a human and pregnant, was too much. She was physically wounded all over her body and I know for sure that when she regains consciousness, it will be difficult for her to come back to her usual self. We will keep her in the hospital for some days monitoring her. He said. What if I lick her wounds and heal them? I want her to wake up without any physical wounds or scars of those bastard's tortures. Take me to her. Alpha you can't see... "NOW," I growled. Alpha, give it l
JAYDEN "Sorry, do I know you? I asked the old man before me. You may not know me but I know you and who you are, and that's the reason I am here. To tell you something and warn you at the same time. He says. I glared at him warily. What shocked me more was that we are communicating through mindlink yet he's not a werewolf. I regained my composure as I blinked rapidly. Whatever you want to tell me will have to wait. "Respectfully." I have unfinished business that I have to take care of. I told him through the mind link. I matched past him to continue with my mission but stopped midair when he said... "You don't need to go." Whatever that business is, has been taken care of. I slowly turned around and glared at him confused. "It's already done". He said. " What are you talking about, it's already done?" You'll find out very soon. He said. The reason why I approached you unexpectedly, is about our girl. This is very important and I want you to attentively listen. He said wit
I'm going to kill you human along with that dog's child in your womb. I'll make sure that no one will ever find your corpse, not even that dog. The bastard said. I was fuming in anger but had nothing to do because both my hands were tied. If you lay another hand on me I'll kill you first before you kill me. You'll be dead meat if you do. I said to him gnashing my teeth in rage. He and his men laughed out loud as if I'd told the funniest joke. That's a good joke, human. It's going to be fun today. Let me lay my hand on you princess and see if I become a dead meat. He said mockingly as he moved closer towards me. He raised his hand and touched me on the cheek. I spat on his face feeling disgusted. Don't you ever touch me you stupid disgusting piece of trash? I hate you all, you all deserve to die. I shouted. The colour on his face changed into a murderous one and I knew that I was in total shit. You brought this to yourself, you little human brat. He said and motioned one of his
I waited patiently for his reaction about me returning his money to him and leaving this house for good. Don't forget that you signed a contract two months ago, Ms Catriona. You can't or won't leave this house before you give birth to my son. He said with a no-joke face. Now I realized that the possibility I was afraid of was going to befall me. It never occurred to me that he would be this cruel after what happened, and it was because of him. "Yes, I signed the contract," I remember it very well but don't forget that I almost died because of you. One of my children or our child died because of you. Those bastards abducted me because they wanted you. I was their bridge to get to you. Their minds were telling them that I was your girlfriend, and I didn't blame them for a second because they knew I was pregnant with your child, and that still bothers me how they knew that I was pregnant. I don't know what's in between you and those punks, and I'm not interested to know, but I suffere
I stumbled backwards in horror. I have never seen something like this in my entire life. It's not just a wild animal but a big wolf that is three times my size. It trotted toward my direction, and I started screaming out loud. Catriona, stop screaming. I heard Jayden's voice again in my head. "What's happening, I'm I losing my mind? I closed my eyes, thinking that I might be having a bad dream that looked like a reality, and that when I opened my eyes, I'd be awake. Please, God, let whatever I just saw now be my hallucinations. I opened my eyes and gasped again when I saw Jayden standing before me unclad. Catriona, please calm down. Don't panic, okay? He said. Don't move another step. Don't come near me. I spluttered. You're unclad, Why are you even like that when I saw you were fully dressed? Wait a minute, I saw you turning into something that looked like a wild animal or wolf. Are you guys shifters? I asked him because I know this kind of stuff is in novels and movies. If this
VANESSA'S POV Before we could finish the spell, there was a strong energy that came out of her and jerked us both away with force. We hovered down there, shocked, at what had just happened. "What in the world was that? My sister Vivian asked, still shocked. I gazed at her, surprised and confused because I knew very well what that was. I saw it in Catriona's eyes, and if I saw it, that means she saw it as well. What happened? Alpha Jayden asked. Before any of us could respond to him, Catriona started shaking so much that her pupils went out of her eyes and left with only the scleras. What's wrong with her? What did you two do to her? Alpha Jayden asked, losing his shit. We all heard a strong voice that came out of Catriona speaking the language I'd never or we never heard of. It was coming out of her without opening her mouth. I could feel everyone's eyes, including mine, widen in terror. We composed ourselves as we all asked the voice, "Who are you?" That is Catriona, she
It has been eight months since the pack was attacked and everything that followed. Jayden and I have been able to reconcile and our love for each other has grown. Ever since Gabriel broke the mate bond with me he suddenly disappeared. Until now I haven't seen him. But I heard murmurs from the pack members that he found himself a mate and made her the Luna. Initially, I was hurt because he seemed so determined to be with me, but then suddenly ended our connection. However, I feel at ease with everything going well around me. The pack members have accepted me as their alpha's mate, and their affection towards me is growing stronger. My brother's health has stabilised, so we don't have to visit the hospital as often. Regarding the old spirits, they continue to possess me during times of trouble and fight our battles when needed. However, whenever I attempt to inquire about our relationship, they simply smile and leave me hanging. I have given up on pursuing this topic. Vannesa, too,
JAYDEN I froze in place when my so-called vampire brother burst out of the pack house, somehow managing to get his hands on Catriona. "I've had enough, little brother," he said. Everyone paused including Gabriel, waiting to see whom he was referring to as his brother. Gabriel was quick to react, glancing from me to the vampire. His face turned red with fury, and could tell he wanted to charge at my brother and break him in half. As satisfying as that would be, it was also impossible. Doing anything foolish would put Catriona in danger. My brother approached me confidently, exuding an air of satisfaction. He sniffed Catriona's neck and then turned to me, remarking, "She smells good." He twirled his bloody tongue over his fangs. Gabriel's voice echoed angrily in my mind, demanding, "Who is this bloodsucker to you, Jayden?" His wolf paced restlessly around him while bombarding me with questions. "Let her go. It's me you want." I said but instead, his smile grew wider, as if he was
GABRIEL When I ensured Catriona's safety indoors, I ventured out to mediate the conflict between the witches and Jayden's enraged wolves. I never anticipated being struck by the witches' wrathful magic, which was originally intended for Jayden. The impact of the magic left me clutching my chest tightly as if it might burst open. I remained on the ground for several minutes, groaning in pain. Although the temptation to shift and violently retaliate against everyone was strong, I knew I had to remain calm. Feeling frustrated, I took a deep breath and confidently approached the wolves and witches, positioning myself between them with a dominant demeanour. "You all need to calm the fuck down," I assertively stated. Surprisingly, everyone except for Jayden stopped. He angrily trotted over to me, snarling in my direction… "You dare bring unknown witches to my house and give orders to my pack?" Who do you think you are?" He said, his voice guttural. "Trust me, I wouldn't mess with brin
l gazed wide-eyed, still processing what just happened where I hurried over to Jayden, as he appeared to be in pain. My love and concern for him compelled me to reach out, but instead, a powerful gust of wind blew through me, separating us. I stumbled backwards, my heart pounding in my chest. Fortunately, Gabriel was behind me and caught me before I hit the ground. His strong arms wrapped around me, providing a sense of stability amidst the chaos. I clung to him, grateful for his presence in this bewildering moment. Without hesitation, I turned to face the witches, my Voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "Did you do this? Are you responsible for what just happened?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing as I awaited their response. The witches exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise and confusion. One of them with silver hair, stepped forward, her voice gentle yet resolute. "No, we had nothing to do with it,'' she replied. My mind raced, trying to make sense of
JAYDEN I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of my wolf's words hung heavily in the air, leaving me speechless. Breaking the mate bond was an unthinkable act, a betrayal of the deepest kind. It was a bond meant to be eternal, unbreakable. That is the best thing we can do for Catriona. She'll be free. And safe from being hurt by the man she loves. Even though my wolf said this, I can feel the sadness in his tone and feel the beating of his heart, which tells me that he doesn't mean it. I know he's trying to punish me for everything I did to him, especially to Catriona. Fuck me I wasn't in my right damn mind. However, it doesn't mean that I don't love Catriona. I genuinely love and care about her to the extent of giving my life to her. Despite my wolf's warning, I disregarded him and headed into the house. "Did you hear what I said?" His voice echoed loudly in my head making it hard for me to think straight. "I heard you loud and clear, beast." We nee
I stared wide-eyed at the saliva rolling down my bare skin, fear flooding in as the memory of Jayden's nearly lifeless body came rushing back. What is going to happen next? Am I going to end up in the same half-dead state as Jayden was? How many days will it be? And what about the child inside me? I instinctively touched my belly, filled with trepidation at the thought of my unborn child facing the same fate as me. How unlucky am I? Gabriel was immediately by my side, attempting to communicate with me but his words were incomprehensible, though I could sense his anxiety and anger. I'm scared he would kill another person. Based on Gabriel's account of what the saliva did to Jayden, I expected an immediate reaction when it came into contact with me. However, it took longer for the effects to manifest. Gradually, I felt my larynx becoming blocked, making it difficult for me to breathe. Desperately gasping for air, I clutched at my throat. Gabriel's grip was strong, and his roug
GABRIEL Catriona's gaze filled me with fear, causing my heart to pound relentlessly. Her silence alone is already destroying me. Naturally, no woman would look at you the same way after learning that you have killed someone. I took a step forward and reached out to touch her, but she quickly backed away, saying, "Please don't touch me. Whatever you want to say, just say it from there. Don't come any closer." Her lips trembled as she spoke. A feeling of unease crept into my stomach as if poisonous insects were devouring me from the inside. It was then that I realized it was time to tell her what happened to her. After all, she's my mate, and she has all the right to know. Pumpkin, I'm going to tell you everything, but not in this situation where you're trembling. It's distressing to me. Please sit down first. "I'm fine here, she said, cutting me off. I nodded, respecting her decision. ~~~ Due to my prolonged search for my mate as an alpha, l was deemed unfit for impor
I dropped my hands in shock as Sandra's words hit me like a ton of bricks. "He murders his mates. The weight of her statement overwhelmed me, leaving no room for coherent thoughts. Before I could process it further, Gabriel abruptly grabbed Sandra by the neck, choking her. Everyone who was minding their businesses gasped in shock as others started disappearing away. Despite struggling to breathe, Sandra managed to speak. "Are you going to kill me like those other women?" You've crossed the line, woman, Gabriel growled. In an instant, he snapped her neck. The sound of Sandra's neck snapping echoed through the air, sending shivers down my spine. Time seemed to freeze as the weight of what had just happened settled in the atmosphere. The witches stood frozen in a mix of shock and fear, their eyes wide with disbelief. My mind raced, desperately trying to process the horrific scene unfolding before me. As Sandra's lifeless body fell to the ground, Gabriel slowly turned his gaze toward
As I continued to whine in pain, this beautiful woman I had just met came to my aid. She gently guided me down the grass and placed her hand on my neck, where the pain was emanating from. Breathe in," she said and then started talking in small words. After a few moments, I began to feel the pain dissipate, replaced by tiny shimmering sensations. As she removed her hand from my neck, she collapsed down in a sideway position, panting heavily as if she had just run a long distance. Concerned, I turned to her and asked if she was alright. She waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she just needed a moment to relax. "I just need a moment," she said. "I laid down facing her. What do you think you're doing?" she asked. First of all, thank you for your help. For a moment, I felt like I was dying. I shouldn't have done that," she said, cutting me off. She slowly got up and sat upright, and so did I. Get out of here. She said in a dead serious tone. Did I do anything wrong? I asked,
