ZAYNIt was finally dawn when Kodiak and I arrived at the Frost Fang pack with the help of the wolves we met at my brother's pack. It was easy for us to dispose of the men guarding the forest that acted as the border of the Frost pack. We also got the wolves to check out any possible traps they might have set in advance. As we ventured across the border, Kodiak and I left our men behind to protect the forest, and we delved further into the pack alongside the wolves. As the sun began to crest over the horizon, its warm rays enveloped the deserted streets, casting a tranquil yet eerie glow upon our surroundings.The distant sound of sentries' footsteps echoed through the air, compelling us to move cautiously and stealthily, evading each patrol as we continued our advance toward the heart of the pack. Once Kodiak and I reached a corner, we hid behind the walls. My brother turned to me and asked, “So, what are we going to do next?”“I need to find out who is still loyal to me and who i
ZAYNMy friend, Drew, quickly lowered his gun when he caught sight of my face. As he came closer, I anticipated a hug, but instead, he forcefully pushed me into the backseat of his car, without a word. "Get in."After me, my brother climbed into the car, and Drew settled into the driver's seat. His eyes locked with mine through the rearview mirror as he instructed us, "Keep your heads down and stay completely silent until we're out of this compound. Understand?"As I expected, his orders didn't seem to sit well with my brother so he released a warning growl from the back of his throat. But I was already used to being bossed around by one of my closest friends so I placed my hand on his leg to calm him down. “Don't worry, we can trust him,” I reassured him. Kodiak opened his mouth to speak when he was suddenly when Drew hushed him again. It was then that I discovered that we were passing the gate so we both ducked our heads to hide as he conversed with the guard at the entrance. As
ZAYN After hours of driving, we finally reached a secluded cabin nestled deep within the forest. Drew meticulously inspected the area before giving us the all-clear to exit the car. The forest seemed to swallow us whole, its towering, ancient trees standing tall against the sky. Sunbeams filtered through the dense foliage, casting a mesmerizing pattern of light and shadow onto the forest floor. The air was filled with the melodic symphony of birdsong, creating a tranquil ambiance.As Kodiak ventured inside the cabin to inspect it, I turned to Drew and expressed my gratitude, saying, "Thanks, man. Let me know if you need any help with the men.”My friend dismissed my offer with a wave of hand before he said, “I can handle them myself. Xavier mustn't know you have arrived in the pack, or else he would send every soldier to hunt you down.”“I know.” I agreed with a slight nod. “Just stay here for now,” Drew said, “There are enough food and provisions for you to survive at least two wee
ZAYN“Where is that motherfucker?!”After I expressed my outburst, the majestic alpha wolf maintained its calm gaze on me before taking a step forward and etching something onto the ground. The scraping sound of its paws against the earth initially grated on my nerves, but as I approached to see what it was doing, I realized it was actually trying to help me.As soon as I drew near, the wolf took a step back and turned its head in a specific direction. It took me a moment to comprehend its message, as it did not seem to be open to telepathic communication.A surge of anger resurfaced within me as I absorbed the newfound revelation. "He is in my house?"The wolf nodded in confirmation.I released a short laugh before I hit a nearby tree with my clenched fists. The tree shook hard from the impact, driving away all the birds from its branches into the night sky.I should have known Xavier would do something like this. I wasn't even supposed to be disappointed by his actions by now. The f
ZAYNA few minutes after Ryena's body dropped to the floor, I heard a sharp cruel erupt from upstairs so I instantly fled the house through the kitchen back door. Soon, the lights came on, and then I heard some noises coming from the house so I guessed they must have found her body. Xavier yelled from inside the house, “I know he is here, so make sure you search everywhere for him or else don't even think about returning here!”I started moving as soon as I heard the words, but I did not leave the compound as expected. Since I had come here to save my wolves, I was determined not to leave this place until I freed them from this place. As I ventured toward a specific direction, my psychic senses heightened, urging me to follow my instincts. Suddenly, the moon vanished behind drifting clouds, casting a veil of darkness over my surroundings as I continued. Eventually, I reached a secluded building. The unmistakable scent of grapes confirmed that I had arrived at the entrance of my hidd
MAISIE“Can't you drive any faster?” I barked at Taro, letting my alpha wolf rise to the surface to apply more pressure on him. “I bet if given the more intelligence and speed, even a turtle could control a car better than you.”The man in the driver's seat darkened at my words but he still kept silent and hit the accelerator. I knew all of them were extremely pissed at me for holding them at gunpoint but I had no time to think about them now that my mate was in danger. At first, I didn't believe a word Felix was saying but my heart rate quickened in panic when I tried contacting Zayn but didn't receive a response. I was trying to convince myself that the distance between us was too far for such strong telepathic communication, but deep in my heart, I feared that my mate had fallen into the hands of his enemies. So here I was, trying to rescue him before Xavier decided to get rid of him once and for all.After a few hours, I noticed we were venturing into the forest was the entrance
MAISIE As I cautiously made my way into the dense, shadowy forest, my acute senses detected the distant but unmistakable sound of the pack of wolves in pursuit, their rhythmic footfalls reverberating through the trees. I guessed those were sentry wolves, charged with the duty of protecting the forest. I was extremely pissed with Felix for alerting them in the first place but I swore to repay the favor one day. I mean, I just saved his life a few hours ago and this was the thanks I got?Indeed, I didn't have the perfect history with friends but I truly thought Felix was different. Even when I was furious about him kidnapping me, I still saved him without a second thought because deep down, I didn't want to give up hope that he would change his ways. But it seemed I was the foolish one in this situation. With every passing second I sprinted in the forest, I coated my heart with another layer of ice to prepare myself for any situation I might meet in the Frost Fang pack. Since Felix h
MAISIE“What?” The words crashed into me like a speeding freight train, leaving me dazed and disoriented as I stood rooted to the spot. It took all my strength to gather my senses and respond, "When did this tragedy occur? How did she pass away?"“What we heard was that she committed suicide after she got a divorce from her husband, Roger,” the old man shook his head sadly as he rearranged the items in front of him, “Her wolf probably couldn't handle the separation and made her feel depressed.”“B-But she was happy to leave him,” I sputtered confusedly. At least, that was what I thought when I spoke to her last time, and besides, all she needed to do was forgive him if she wanted him back so I didn't understand why she had to take her own life. The old man kept cleaning his shop without a single hitch as he responded, “This is all that vixen's fault. If she hadn't seduced- Oh, Roger! There you are, I have been waiting for you to come pick up your package since two days ago.”A famil
