Alpha Alphonso tapped his fingers on the table.

His mind raced while every part of his body was stagnant. The gnawing feeling below his stomach intensified, and his heartbeat scared the shit out of him. He was feeling so many things at the same time.

“Patience is the key.” Beta Pierre had told him before he left.

However, the increased tapping on the table proved that the little patience he had was thinning out. It has been six hours and Beta Pierre hasn’t returned yet. He couldn’t go for another hour feeling this way.

This was the first time Alpha Alphonso had nothing under control. The first time he felt what others felt whenever he tortured them. For a few seconds, he thought, “I won’t hurt anyone again. This feeling of despair is torturous.”

Since the day they spoke about leaving for the Wild Pack, Alphonso has been unwell. With no elder here, and couldn’t get himself to ask any healer in the pack for help, he had waited for a miracle to happen.

With the new five warriors’ arrival and the pack, the wolves didn’t have a choice but to listen after being told to go into their rooms.“If anyone saw us, it is their fault.” Beta Pierre said, thinking back to when he explained to Gio that if anyone started asking suspicious questions, they should be put down.“Is he dead?” Alpha Alphonso inquired, looking back.“Yeah, told you it will be easy. We just had to pretend we gave a shit.”Beta Pierre drove to a nearby forest, he laughed when Alphonso told him he was cruel for burying him near his pack. he shrugged it off. They arrived at an already dug grave and threw him inside after checking his pulse and heartbeat. He was dead.Drivi

    For days, Hilla nursed her with tenderness and passion. She handled her like a rose petal she didn’t want to tear. A total stranger who made her whole body tingle.

She loved it, whatever it meant.Hilla’s parents followed behind slowly, leaving their son stuck where he was with one question displayed on his face. “You are joking, right?”A genuine smile broadened on Alpha Ciandra’s face when Hilla circled her arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Hilla’s heart thumped softly against her chest. Hilla looked at her, and then at her parents, still climbing the stairs. Slowly, as if they would rather walk outside for hours than come up.“You need to relax.” Alpha Ciandra thought.Hunter adorably claimed, “if this is what we should get every morning, let us continue defiling the moon goddess.”She stiffened and the smile began to drop from her face.

Don’t show your face here.” “Two down, one to go.” Alpha Ciandra whispered while walking away from a broken Garrick, begging for Ciandra to give him one more chance. What he received was fair, right?

To fight, and to care about somebody and not me.” Of course, life at first hadn’t been safe. She had been distraught, which was expected since it was the first time she was staying far away from home, far away from any supernatural, and only surrounded by humans who seemed to love partying, laughing, and not caring.She saw pregnant women laughing with their friends. No one carried weapons around. Oh, the mornings she didn’t worry about waking up. The humans taught her something she didn’t know. Freedom. The freedom was great. As mundane as it sounded to anyone in this human city, Alpha Ciandra found it heavenly. For weeks, she watched the humans, paying for a motel room with the money she stole from Hi
