In a hidden warehouse very close to The forest.The place is a huge warehouse hidden, deep in the forest.It is painted to blend with the color of the forest to keep people away from it.About ten guards were surrounding the cells built in that warehouse.You could hear the zapping of the electricity and voices groaning in pain. Their leader is a man in his mid-fifties with full white hair and a deep scar on his cheek and eyes.He had a pointed nose and a round face; there was a glint in his blue eyes, depicting mischief.You could tell from his face that he was once a handsome-looking wolf, not that he is not handsome now.He moved closer to their cell with a full grin on his face.He examined what was in the cell.There were about seven people in each cell.A young boy of sixteen years is seen in the cell.His hands and feet are folded, covering his face.His expression showed that he was afraid; he was also shaking from the cold.The man asked one of the guards:"Any improvement f
Stephan POVMy beta and I were planning on how to capture those men who attacked Clarissa.He is no longer mad at me after his mate left the prison cell.I explained my fears to him, the rogues' fighting technique, how they were stronger than a normal werewolf, and the unique power one of them possessesHe confirmed my fear, that I was right.Now I will have to watch her like an eagle, this few days she had tried escaping twice, and knowing the type of person she is, she will escape again.I have noticed that she tried everything possible to go against my orders to irk me, but she is calm if her action will affect innocent lives.I just wish she would make my life easier and just stop.For someone considered before as pathetic and weak, she has a mind of her own, she faces her fears and is not afraid to fight for what she believesI don't see her as pathetic anymore and what I am doing is just fulfilling my dutiesI am only protecting her, because of the promise I made to someone.I h
Clayton's POV.Shadow Pack House.I sat down to watch my phone while eating with my wife Elizabeth.The large roasted pork, just like my wife wanted, was placed on a huge plate with the gravy that would be used to eat it.I would have preferred to eat human flesh, but restrictions have been placed on killing humans. A law was made that if they were to detect any werewolf in their land without informing their leaders, then that means the pack is declaring war on humans.It is not like we won't win, but they have a pack, and I don't want to go against supporting them.Unless we bring Stephan down, there is nothing much we can do.I was in deep thought, thinking about what to do next if the plan worked.I was worried because of what the alpha of the Moonlight Pack would do if he found out I went behind his back.This was a great opportunity for me; I couldn't miss it.Once an herb farmer informed me of a wolfsbane plant growing on his farm, and my interest was piqu
Clayton's POVI pleaded with the alpha of the Supreme Pack to let my daughter come home. She would be more safe here than there.I am afraid of what Alpha Will might do to her if something were to happen to her.Besides I don't want Stephan to find out that I am involved with what happened to Clarissa.I also don't want them to know what Miranda has been doing since she started living with them.He might use her to get to me, and I don't want that.I was lucky that my daughter hated her just like I did.Since they were little, they have always competed over everything. Miranda could not stand that she was placed beneath her in terms of beauty and everything else.I can remember the first day I saw Miranda cry. That day they came back from school. We were having an alpha meeting.The alphas from different packs came for this particular meeting.Miranda dressed so pretty, while I intentionally refused to give Clarissa any good dresses to wear.She ended up wearing
Chapter Thirteen.I stood there shocked and surprised to hear that. There were a thousand questions on my mind: how, where, and when.I managed to utter the only word that could come out of my mouth."How did you find her?"He looked at him before answering."Someone found her outside Crescent Pack hiding in an abandoned house in the forest; they informed us of her whereabouts, so we went there to pick her up.""She is locked up inside the prison waiting for your judgment, alpha."He disappeared quickly with anger on his face, while I followed him as fast as my leg could carry me.When we got there, her hands were bound tightly together with a strong chain.It is not necessary for such a fragile-looking woman.Her mouth was also covered with a piece of cloth, but what gave me jitters was the way her eyes stared daggers at me.At this particular moment, she reminded me of a mini Miranda, a devil.I shivered when I looked at her.I wonder what I did to her that made her poison me.I hav
Chapter FourteenAfter they informed me of the pack leader's idea, I was restless and planning my rescue.I will have to succeed this time around.This would have to be my last attempt at escaping.I distanced myself from him so that I wouldn't get confused by my feelings for him.I think he noticed it because he had been watching my movement.I was surprised one day to see that he had bought me a hairband.He said it was a gift that I should never take off.I probably should have asked him why he asked not to take it off, but there was no need. I will listen to him because I won't be here for long.I will miss him too.It is also the first time someone has given me a gift, and I will cherish it.The day he gave it to me, I put it on my head, and since that day, I started wearing it without taking it off.Our sleeping position did not change at all, despite all this.Sometimes he will stay awake, watching me till dawn.I wish I knew why.I need him to leave the room the day I escape s
I looked up at the face of the person. I am sure I have seen him somewhere, but I don't know where.His hands were tight on my throat, and I used my two feet to kick the air. I was struggling to breathe.I succeeded in kicking him right on the chin; he fell on the other side and got up immediately without touching the ground.I formed a fighting stance; I should fight with him for my life rather than sit here and die so easily.I tried changing again, hoping and praying that what they did would not affect me any longer.I started the change, focusing on it one after the other. My hands changed to claws, my clothes tore while I grew bigger, and my teeth became elongated.I am a beautiful white wolf named Nala.He transformed into a black wolf; he was as quick as lightning."I want you to kneel before me, Wolf; his mind linked me."I was shocked to notice that this stranger could do that to me.This further confirms my suspicion that he is from the Shadow Pack. As a daughter of the sha
It has been two days since Stephan rescued me from my little escape gone wrong; that incident made him stay indoors with me till morning.I don't think he got any sleep that day.He will get me anything I ask for and try to read the meaning of every expression of mine.I noticed he has been talking to Liam a lot.I don't know what they are up to; I am too tired and lazy to ask him.I have noticed that people have kept their distance from me since I came back.I suspect that it might be the scent.I overheard someone say that I smell like the Alpha now.Security has been placed all over the pack to prevent me from going anywhere again.He warned me not to ever try escaping; he had to pull power from the mating bond to track me.I wish he knew that he didn't have to warn me again; I won't go anywhere.They have been making plans for a while now, and they have been consistent with them. I don't know what they are for, but I have a feeling I will soon find out.I should enjoy the attenti
Stephan's POV Continuation I watched baffled and frightened by what happened. The explosion pushed them back; they disappeared. I looked around, and ten thousand men were standing; some were on the left-hand side, while others were on the right-hand side.The alpha, who stood at the front from the left-hand side, spoke first."Hi Stephan, it is good to see that you are still in one piece."I was so happy to see him.I could use all the help I can get."Crescent pack warriors at your service, Alpha Stephan.""You are welcome, too, alpha of the Crescent Pack.""What is happening, Stephan? What are these?" he asked me."I don't know how to explain, but they are half beast, half werewolf; all I know is that they are indestructible.""There must be something that can destroy them," he said to me."Yes, I have a plan.""What is the plan, Stephan? He persisted with his questions."I can only kill them if I cut their heads off of their bodies; the only way I can do that is if I can g
Stephan's POVI woke up because I heard someone scream. I did not know how long I had slept.I was disoriented for a while. I looked up at the sky; it was dark as if smoke had covered it.My body was wet and cold. I moved my hands to touch the floor, and I noticed that the leaves there were wet too. It must be because of the dew.I pulled myself up to a sitting position and looked around.I was inside the forest; the whole place was covered with grass and tall trees.It must be the reason why sunlight cannot penetrate it.I used my wolf vision to look around.I noticed a little ray of sunshine shining somewhere within the forest.I followed the light till I got to where it was shining. My hands got to work, and I used them to push the grass blocking my way out of it.I walked out, looked around, and could not recognize where I was.I was sure that when I came to this place, I was unconscious.I wonder who brought me to this place."Stephan, where are you? We are losing." I heard a voi
Stephan's POV "No, Stephan, don't do it; don't give in to him; he lied, my love; he lied to you, she continued screaming. I heard scuffles and the breaking of things. "Don't you dare hurt her," I threatened. My eyes blazed. "You need to find Carli Stephan; he can find me." "They had him brainwashed into thinking that we killed his parents; if you can find him and convince him, he will help you," she screamed. I heard gunshots, and the line went flat. I screamed out of pain as I tried to mind-link her. I was scared to death hearing that shot. I was restless that I was not there. "Little one, are you okay?" I screamed in my head. "Please say something so that I will know that you are okay," I pleaded. "I am in pain, my love, but I will be fine," she said to me. "You have five minutes to tell me the truth William, or else I will start dropping dead bodies here," I threatened him. "Do you worse, Stephan? You are going to regret not taking my offer," he boasted.
Clayton's POV The moment I saw Clarissa on the floor and the look she had on her face, I knew instantly that she had heard everything. It is funny that she is trying to play it off. I needed to play along to make her relaxed, and I could watch her. I noticed that she was shaking out of shock. Since she wants to play, let's play. When she mentioned her mother's death, I knew that she was trying to divert my attention. I decided to fake it; she was so convinced by my acting. I pretended that I had gone into my room while I stood at the door and watched her. I heard Carli questioning her. Even though Carli kept interrogating her, she still hesitated to answer him. I saw her leave, and I knew instantly where she was going. I went inside for a few minutes so that I could get ready. I sent my men out immediately to follow her. When I came outside, I saw that Carli had a troubled look on his face. "Where is Clarissa?" I asked him. He frowned at me and answered
Stephan's POVI had to go see my friend Alpha Tyler; he had promised me earlier that if I needed his help, all I had to do was tell him when I needed it.I know that if we were to attack Alpha William's secret hideout, we would need all the help we could get.He told me that he was able to get me a few men, but I wasn't bothered because I knew that the few men he gave me would be enough to defeat our enemies.I was busy with him; that was why Clarissa was not able to pass through at first.She pushed through our bond; I felt her, and when I opened the bond, she was already out.I could sense her distress, and that scared me.I quickly concluded my meeting with Alpha Tyler and rushed out.Then I heard her distress call."Stephan, help me."I wish I knew where my gamma is, I would have sent him.I knew that I might not get to her on time that was why I pleaded with her to stay back till I got to that place.I felt that it would be safer and easier to pick her up from there since it w
Clarissa's POV "Clarissa, What are you doing here?" Alpha William asked."Why did you come in here?" he continued."Why are you on the floor? he questioned me.I tried to speak, but my mouth refused to bring out a sound.Fear crept into my mind.I already know how this is going to play out if I am not able to come up with a tangible story to cover up why I was in there.I grabbed his hand. I wanted to steady myself. I stood up, calculating in my mind what to say to him so that he wouldn't be suspicious of me."What are you doing here, child?""You have not answered my question yet.""I am sorry, grandfather; I came in here looking for you.""Why are you on the floor? Did you just call me grandfather?" He asked, looking surprised.I pretended like I did not hear the second question; I did not want to repeat what I said earlier so that I wouldn't gag."I thought I saw something; I am sorry, alpha." "I felt a chill on my body; I froze, and from there I fell." "What did you s
Clarissa's POVIt has been two days since Ray found the laboratory.We made plans on how to attack the laboratory.I will go to Moonlight Pack and distract my grandfather so that we can access the laboratory.I was not comfortable going there blind.I wish we could talk to Carli to know if we are to expect any surprises from them.I will try to talk to him in secret.Before we started this journey, Stephan made sure that everyone swore to keep it a secret.I know why he did that; he knew that Liam would tell Miranda, and she would in turn warn her family. "This is a top-secret mission; no one is to know about it," he warned."We will infiltrate the moonlight pack, overshadow it, and bring it down.""Swear that you won't say anything to your mate" Stephan asked him.He agreed to do that.We arrived at night, this time without Gamma William.Stephan needed him at the front line when the whole thing began; that was what he said to me.The whole place was filled with his men when we ar
Stephan's POV Clarissa's idea sounded so easy and simple, but I knew that things could go wrong with our plans. I will contact one of my friends, known as X-ray, but I call him Ray from another pack to help me track it. He is a guy I helped a long time ago; he was known for buying weapons and technology and selling them to the highest bidder. He is also a skilled hacker. He pissed the wrong people off because of that. They hired assassins to take him out. He was lucky that I was investigating who was responsible for the disappearance of some of my pack members. I was pissed at the number of assassins that were fighting one helpless man. Out of boredom, I decided to rescue him. I will kill him myself if I find out that he committed a heinous crime. After I rescued him, I found out the reason why he had been almost killed since that day. He gave me a promise that whenever I needed his help, he would be more than willing to help me. "Hello Stephan, my man, it has been so
Clarissa's POVI woke up late today. I was feeling good with the clear sky and the birds chirping.The sound of men moving to and from one spot to another and the fresh air added to the serenity I felt this morning."Good morning, my love; you are finally awake," he crooned, kissing my cheek."Why did you not wake me up, babe?"'You were sleeping so peacefully, I did not want to disturb you. How are you feeling?""I am good, my love," I answered, kissing his lips."I made something for you since you complained that you were having headaches yesterday," he said to me."You are not coming down with something, right?""You are alright this morning, right?" he asked me."Yes, I am. I feel refreshed. Yesterday, what I went through contributed to what happened to me.""Alright, come sit and eat, he said in a gentle voice."What did you make for me?""I am sorry I did not make your favorite cake; I thought I should make you chicken soup to energize you this morning.""Should I take it back?
