Death. It smells like death. The cold rush of blood tickled its way to my arms, signaling me that danger was around. I sniffed the sweet stench of it, together with the rusty effect that adds to its flavor. Ah, heaven. I feel like I am floating, my paws clawing deep into the soil, and my sharp nails attached to something. But something was amiss. The cold air’s direction is different than usual. It’s as if my body had gained its full control and I was just a vessel inside. Pheromones rushed beside me and I looked for the source of it. Everything was fast, as my brother pinned me to the ground and pushed me away. “Nyra, no!”My attention snapped to the one who called me. My brother. What is he doing here?“W-what is-” Disappointment was on my brother, Brian’s face. “Protect the alpha!” My younger brother, Ceylan, yelled, pushing me away from them. I paused, watching them with barred breath as sweat trickled down my face. I recognized a familiar scent just near me. The alpha, my
Being starved to death was fine, but being enslaved was not for me. I would rather get my hands chopped than be tied to the pole of the main grounds in the packhouse as every pack member does what they want with me. This has been Silverfang’s way of dealing with the prisoners. A punishment before even being served justice in a trial.They had just finished removing one of my nails, some even grabbed my hair so much that I am not surprised I might have gone bald. The trial would be in two hours, and what am I doing?I am here still being punished by my fellow pack members. The members who promised loyalty to my father and had made an oath to never even touch a single strand of my hair. But they did. Judging from their ecstatic expression as they punished me, I know they must have waited their whole life to do this to me. The trials carry unfair rules that I have to fight for my life while beaten up. They would make the prisoner compete with one of their representative, the stronges
He said some of his secrets, but I forgot it!I sucked in my breath, standing up and preparing myself for the attack while still rummaging through my memory. However, just before the Wendigo was fully released, Brian stepped in and yelled, “Brother, no. We need help from the nearby pack. Let’s marry her off.”Ceylan paused the release of the Wendigo and turned to our brother, “What?”“Once the Rogues come and attack us, we don’t have enough power to even defend ourselves, even lost two of our greatest fighters.” He continued, “The allied packs won’t trust you easily, they need to get something in return…”My eyes darted to Brian, giving him a what the fuck look. If this is his way of saving me from death, then he’s wrong. I’d rather fight the Wendigo than be sold off to another pack!Ceylan thought about it for a moment, and nodded, “Wait, I changed my mind. Return the Wendigo inside. Prepare Nyra as we’ll send her off to one of our allied packs.”“Alpha Fenris of the Dark Claws Pack,
“You look different,” I commented. The more I looked at him, the more I felt something inside me stirring. An excitement. Eagerness. Not certain what I am particularly looking for….but this is the alpha I am going to be partnered with starting tonight. Why did I even utter those words again? It was just a few seconds ago that I was trying to look for the bright side of staying in this pack for now..that I have enough food that won’t keep me starved, and the members won’t harm me because they respect their alpha and since I am the alpha’s partner, they will respect me too…compared to the Silverfang pack members. “Oh, have you already seen me before?” He said, “How different? Explain.”I blinked, trying to recall it again but my memory was blurry. “Yes, when I was younger.” Was I wrong? Did I mistake him for somebody?“You must have remembered wrong. I had always been handsome like this….enchanting even…” He said boastfully, “And I am not surprised you are too engrossed in me to even
I can’t believe that I would be returning to my pack this soon. It wasn’t even a full moon that passed since I was exiled from there. Just when they kicked me out there, and when I finally thought that I could take my time off before I have enough power to fight my brother off, this damn Rogue Creed is taking me back.I still haven’t made any progress. Back to the start. I still find it hard to believe that he is my mate and questions are still ringing my head. Glaring at the dark tall figure of the scoundrel who is currently taking me as his “kidnap victim” to blackmail me to the Silverfang Pack, I follow his tracks against my will as my hands are tied tightly with a rope on my back. His assistant, Brix, was up ahead to check for any incoming enemies. That loyal follower of this scoundrel is not any much better to deal with too. “Hey…” I started, annoying this rogue. I have an overwhelming desire to test up to what limit he could endure. How many more irritating moves I’ll do to
“Such a useless bitch. Let’s have her return to the other rogues and feast on her until she could no longer walk, ” Commented Brix, which made Creed glare at him. “Shut your mouth, scum. I’ll deal with her in my own way.”He then glanced at me and sighed, “I have a plan. For now, let’s leave.”Ravena pouted, and Brix scoffed.Creed caught on their disappointed expressions, “Anyone dares to complain?” Both of them kept quiet. Nice, so these two are nothing compared to Creed. They knew that they could never say no to him. Which is just to my advantage.I quietly walked behind him and could feel his heavy breathing and body heating from anger, “You’re angry…”He paused and turned to look at me, “Yes because I landed with a useless bitch. No one even wants to be with you.”I smiled at him, not even seriously taking his words at this point, “Why? Do you pity me?”He chose to be quiet and kept walking ahead.“This is why I hate packs. They would easily abandon anyone they find useless.”
I stopped at his words. What?I could smell his filthy scent and his turned-on scent. I instinctively covered my body from him. It was fun teasing them, but I didn’t want it to end up like this. “Oh, are you scared now?”I laughed my nervousness off, trying to act calm in the water. It was a bit hard to cover myself as he was getting close now and almost in front of me. “Suck on it then, if you’re not scared.”He undressed himself to reveal his full hard-on. I grimaced, not imagining that I touched that earlier in order to save his life.“I just saved you, Brix, shouldn’t you thank me? And I thought I was too filthy for you.” I tried hard to stop him…anything I could think of but to no avail, The look on his face was determined to ravish me. And the whole part of me is shaking in fear.“Oh, that’s exactly what I am doing. Thanking you. Enjoy your meal. You’ll be so fulfilled that you won’t be starving for days. ”“Creed would-““Would what?” He grabbed my hand and kissed it, “He wou
I was yelling muffled words and Creed looked at me, removed the clothing from my mouth, and raised his brow, “What were you saying?”My eyes couldn’t get off from his face, “You came here to save me?” Creed shook his head, “Nah, I’m just here to rob them and destroy their alliance with the other rogues.”He then pointed at my hands, “You can bite down that rope, right? You can go now.”I was still in shock, expecting him to take me with him as his captive, somehow, that idea was much more interesting to me. “You’re letting me leave?”“I have no use for you anymore.” I knew this was good news, yet his response made me disappointed. “I never wanted those bastards anyway. Since I got what I want, I am good.”“You’re the son of an alpha, you’re breaking your word and-”“Why do you care? Why? Do you want to keep being tied up?”My vision suddenly became blurry, my head rang with an agonizing sound and I suddenl
CHAPTER 35 The morning after, Nyra was next to Doctor Creed who was smiling at her. Nyra’s eyes fluttered open and she woke up. While she was in Doctor Creed's toilet, she heard a phone call.“Nyra, baby, someone calls on your phone.” He heard Doctor Creed yelling from outside. She left the toilet and thought it might have been her parent, but the number was unknown. “Nyra, are you?” A man asked on the other line.Nyra suddenly stopped when hearing the familiar voice. Oh so familiar. She did not think she would hear the voice that she had long forgotten.She cannot speak or move. What is he saying? Nyra wanted to cut off the call immediately, but she asked in fear, “Who is this?”“It’s me. Fenris…”It felt like the whole world suddenly fell on her. Fenris. Nyra had tried to bury and forget that name, and when she heard it again, all the pain he caused her seemed to resurface. She thought she moved on. But oh boy. “How did you get my number, Fenris?” Nyra masked her fear and ins
Nyra’s night took a turn as they climbed into Doctor Creed’s room. She did not expect that her words would lead to this. It suddenly rained. Doctor Creed took an umbrella from the car and covered Nyra.“How about you, Doctor Creed? You’ll get wet” Nyra asked worriedly.“I’ll be fine, Nyra. Just go inside."Nyra stood up and went quickly to Doctor Creed’s house door.He looked at Doctor Creed’s wet clothes, “You’ll be sick, Doctor Creed.”“I don’t care. As long as you’re okay.” He answered. When they got into the house, Doctor Creed sent Nyra to the kitchen and drank water. Nyra was still concerned for him.Doc Doctor Creed immediately stood and put their hands on his shirt before he pulled up. Nyra gasped at the sight, swallowing at what she saw. She felt a bit tipsy earlier but she became sober. Nyra could see how drops of water from his sharp jaw toward his chest and down his abs cascaded down.“What are you looking at, Nyra?”His question struck her, “What are you doing? Why ar
“I’ll sue you!” The family of the patient who died yelled. This is the first time Nyra saw that someone complained to Doctor Creed. “Sir, we did our best.” Doctor Creed explained. “No, if you did everything, why my child has already died? Isn’t it because we can’t afford the full payment here at your hospital? If I just knew, we wouldn’t have stayed here! I thought you were the best doctor here!” Nyra quietly looks at the patient's father as he shouts all the painful words. The miracle is Doc Doctor Creed lets the patient’s father. He was calm and it seemed like it wasn’t the first time it experienced. He knows how to fix these situations. After Doc Doctor Creed’s discreet explanation to the patient, he went to the counter to personally pay the remaining balance the family needed to pay for the hospital. “Just let them leave.” Doctor Creed said and left. Nyra followed Doc Doctor Creed, “Doc, are you right?” “Yes, I am fine.” “But…” “Yes? Do you think you are the only one to be
Nyra didn’t think Doctor Creed was kind of like others. She knows the habits of another doctor. They are just proud, arrogant, and too prideful. But Doctor Creed wasn't that. He may have shouted at her in the past but he had done that for the good of his patient, their workers, and for the whole hospital. It is probably a big responsibility given to Doctor Creed to take care of the hospital. The next day Nyra was surprised to see Doc Smith no longer appeared. His other colleague said he would rather leave because he found a better hospital, and Doctor Creed removed him from work. “Did you see Doc Smith?” Nyra asked Doc Creed to be in the hospital. Doctor Creed remained emotionless as if it hadn’t news to him, “Oh, did he leave? Good. It is good and I don’t need to see his hidden face.” Nyra did not expect the doctor's answer, and he saw that there were two cups of coffee. A coffee held by Doc Doctor Creed was given to Nyra. “Doc? I can't accept them--" “Just drink it, Nurse Nyra
NYRA'S POV Things were going great, and the pack seemed to be getting more stable daily. Creed and I have been going strong he’s become more obsessed with me. We decided to visit the Crimson pack, where Kira is currently staying. I wanted her to see more of my aura and ask what path I should take now. The past heart-to-heart talk with Alpha Kamilah helped me so much and it made me realize all my emotions bottled up inside. “It’s good to see you.” Kira’s face brightened up as soon as she saw me, “I am glad you thought of visiting me.” “I wanted clarification…and some guide too, since you said something about my aura last time.” I started, and she sat me down as we had a cup of tea. Creed disappeared and looked for Lycan King Ace somewhere so we were left alone now. “I see, so you want me to tap inside your soul?” She said. I nodded. She stretched her hands, starting to get to work, and gently placed mine on the pillow. She closed her eyes and she hummed for a few seconds, frown
Alpha Magnus is the funnier and livelier one. However, he becomes serious when it comes to his mate Alpha Queen Kamilah.Among us females, the tallest was Alpha Queen Kamilah. And just merely standing there, she gives off a very commanding aura. Like one look you’ll be willing to offer your lie for her. However, despite her great leadership, she has this motherly and comforting aura that you just want to lay on her knees and say all your problems. Kira, the only human among us, and half-witch, also the Queen of the Witch realm, was also standing out. Her delicate beauty took my breath away and my eyes were glued on her for the whole night, making her shy.The most confident among us is Irina. She stood strong and fearless with all the battle scars on her arms. Like me, she had experienced the She had the sharpest tongue amongst us. Now, I realize we are like peas in a pond. Birds of a feather. I feel like looking up to them with how established they are. All of us are so different
Soon, the three of us were added to Alpha Kamilah. She appeared by the bushes with her glamorous long hazel hair. Her tanned skin shone through the moonlight and her body accentuated all her curves. She had a deep set of enchanting ocean-blue eyes, matching with plump lips and glowing cheeks. “We apologize for running late to the party, we had to finish some matters..” Her beautiful voice spoke, but I felt like I never understood a word she uttered as I was focused on her walking figure as she approached us. Alpha Magnus stood beside her, looking paler than her and had raven hair. He looked intimidating until he broke into a smile. “Don’t worry guys, I am finally here to lighten up the Alpha Kamilah rolled her eyes at her mate and greeted the alphas first. Her eyes caught mine and she slowly walked to our group. “You must be Nyra.”I nodded, pursing my lips and gulping now that she was finally nearer. She noticed my distraught and frowned, “Forgive me, did I scare you? I have thi
‘Come here, they wanted to meet you.’Minutes after staying in Creed’s room, I heard his mind linking me. I instantly got up, dressed up, and panicked. I am getting anxious about meeting new creatures, especially knowing that they are‘I need your support.’Creed added after a few minutes, and I felt his tense voice and nerves trembling a bit. I think I need to get there soon before he melts. As he’s mentioned, it is one of his weakest points, meeting new creatures and having to talk to them. He was used to attacking everyone ruthlessly because that was his way before. As the Ravager.But this time it is different. He needs to be mindful of his actions or the pack that he’s planning to rebuild from ruins is going to end up crumbling. I opened the door and could hear them talking from the outside. “My dear…”I greeted, catching Creed’s attention and offering a little squeeze on his arms. He squeezed back and smiled at me. The eyes of two men standing in front darted their eyes on m
We decided to stay and help build the ruined packhouse back to its place. It was only three of us, and it took us a week to work with it. We also added a better barrier around the territory that would help us be on alert if any rogues are within the area. The elders of the realm had noticed this movement so they kept on sending one of their men and invited Creed to pay respect to them. Creed, hating the elders ever since, would only send back the men with bruised eyes. I wanted him to stop this and convince him to just do as they say but he wouldn’t listen. The elders were getting anxious now that the “Ravager” that they had always wanted to catch him. I admit that being the past “Ravager” had its disadvantages as he had no alpha friends. He had no alliances that he could ask for help when he was in need. But thank goodness for that reputation too that no other pack would dare to cross our territory, fearing for their life. “They’ll only use me as their weapon in their plays.” Tha
