With every step he took towards me, I tightened my grip on the knife and fixed my eyes on the spot where his heart should be. But Diego thought it best to spoil my plan by coming in between us, grabbing the alpha by his throat, and throwing him towards the couch. The couch broke in the middle, and the alpha changed into his wolf form, losing control. That was a double loss; not only did I lose the chance to hurt or kill him, but I also lost a good couch to sleep on. "Take another step towards her, and I will make sure you regret every breath you take," Diego's authoritative voice made my knees buckle, and I sat on the stairs I was standing on. The other males were also on their knees. Though Xavier's wolf tried its best to stand up, he could not. "Arya, go to your room right now," Diego said again in the same voice. I tried to get up, but my legs didn't seem to work. "I said, go to your room," he shouted, and I felt helpless. "I am trying, but I can't feel my legs," I said in despera
Arya fell to the ground, and the injection also fell from her hand while the wolf hovered above her. The she-wolf didn't stop and was about to bite her throat when I intervened and pulled the she-wolf by the back of her neck, tossing her to a nearby tree."This bitch," Arya got up from the ground and was about to run towards the she-wolf when I held her by her waist and pulled her towards me."We are not here to kill anyone, Arya," I snapped her out of her violent thoughts. "This way, your mother will never be able to meet Noah." She instantly calmed down upon hearing this but was still breathing heavily. I then looked at the she-wolf I had tossed like a puppet a few seconds ago. She was still enraged but under my command now. I could see that she was still trying her best to fight my command."Give your human back the control and get changed," I turned towards Noah, who was also standing there and looking at the she-wolf in concern. "You too, Noah," I told both wolves and when they we
"Arya, stop!" I shouted behind her, but she sped off in another direction. "When will she start listening to me?" I mumbled in irritation. Noah was still sitting with Nora's body while Amelia looked visibly angry, and Xavier appeared relieved."So, are you taking the body with you to your pack, or do we have to dispose of it?" Xavier asked, and I fought the intense urge to snap at him and put him in his place."At least respect the dead, Dad," Noah's voice remained steady."This is not the time to be emotional, Noah. Do you even understand what will happen if people find out about her? And her face! Nora and you have almost the same face, and don't forget that disrespectful twin of yours. Whoever sees you three together will easily realize that you are related," Xavier said in desperation."She is not the one with the same face as mine. Arya and I are the ones who have her face. She gave birth to us," Noah corrected in his still calm voice."We are not revealing this to anyone. That's
"Don't try to act smart. You already know what I am asking," he said, and his eyes showed a different type of sinister gleam. "What do you want to hear, Alpha?" I asked him, trying to calm my beast, which was raging angrily. "The truth," he stated, and I couldn't help but chuckle. He wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from me, so the creases of confusion on his forehead were not unexpected. "Truth," I said and chuckled again. "Don't you know, Alpha, this word sounds like a joke coming from your mouth?" he growled, and I continued. "I would have stayed, laughed, and clapped at your joke, but I have to go and find a certain girl," I said to him, removing his hand from mine. "I hope you find her soon," he said from behind, while I kept walking. "Sooner than someone else," the last part he added stopped me dead in my tracks. My beast's anger skyrocketed, and I turned towards him. "There is one thing you should know about me, Alpha. When something or someone is under my guard, no o
"Seems like you got the chance to prove the facts that you were stating before," Arya said, taking a few steps backward and casually sitting on the side. "Let's see what you've got," she added, and I couldn't help but feel amused by her reaction. She didn't seem the least bit hesitant or nervous in this situation. "Anything specific you want, mah lady?" I teased her, glancing at the vampires, who seemed unhappy with our casual conversation. "No need to be that cocky. Do what is needed, and don't spill too much blood here. I plan to lie down here until sunrise," she said; though it was dark, I could still see that my "mah lady" had affected her. The vampires must have thought they had enough of our conversation because they didn't let me reply to Arya. All five of them launched themselves at me simultaneously. I grabbed the throats of the first two vampires that came towards me, but the other three took the opportunity. One of them punched me, another kicked my leg, causing me to fal
I took a couple of steps backward and relinquished complete control to Delcan. I could feel my body bulking up, my hands and feet transforming into claws, my mouth elongating into a snout, and my ears pointed upwards. Giving control to Delcan always feels the same, but even after all these years, I am still unable to become familiar with this sensation. Maybe it's because I'm not a werewolf but a lycan. "Holy fuck," I heard Arya's voice, but Delcan was too angry at the sight of vampires to pay attention to her. I did my best to prevent him from succumbing to his bloodlust. I could see surprise, disbelief, and fear reflected in the vampire's eyes, but I couldn't help them now. Neither Delcan nor I had left anyone alive who discovered our truth. Delcan seized the vampire closest to him, sinking his canines into the vampire's throat, tearing off a large chunk of flesh, and tossing the vampire aside to die. Delcan isn't normal, not even by Lycan standards. He possesses great speed, and a
"You can't barge into a girl's room like that," I snapped at him as soon as he entered the room, while I am still scared of his reaction when he sees Diego. He didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes. "Don't act too shocked, alright?" I finally gave up and decided to apply the 'make him understand' technique. "Who is he?" he asked me, and I gulped. Why am I worrying about this situation? It's not like it's my duty to keep his secret... argh... "Diego..... but you're not telling anyone," I said to him pointedly, and he frowned. "You're sleeping with your captive," he stated, and instantly I was confused. I looked behind and turned towards my bed where I found Diego lying on the bed, but the duvet was covering his whole body. The last time someone thought that I was sleeping with a guy didn't end up great. "Do I need to give you any clarification?" I asked him while coming in front of him so that his focus would be on me and not on Diego. This lycan is also stupid; he should have
He fell to his knees, and I instantly shouted, "Don't shoot!" I went towards Noah and pulled out the dart from his arm. When I saw that his skin started turning red instead of grey, I took a deep calming breath. They shot him with wolfsbane, not silver. If it were silver, it would be almost impossible to tackle the situation without giving him long-term issues. "Go inside," Noah said through clenched teeth, and I rolled my eyes at him. "I am a huntress, Noah. You're the one in danger, not me," I said to him, scanning the area. "Go inside," I instructed him, and about to head towards the woods when he grabbed my hand. "I can't let a captive of a pack run away under my guard," he said to me, and I huffed at the stubbornness of these wolves. "This is the Blue Moon pack, the land that belongs to the hidden alpha. Even we hunters think twice before planning anything against this pack. Don't give yourself this much authority here. The alpha knows everything that happens here," I told him
