“So that’s what he’s decided…” Ellie could only say, after being told of the punishment William gave her by Raymond.

“Unfortunately, yeah…” the Alpha weakly said. “B-But hey. Look on the bright side. You’ll still live. You’re not going to die.”

“Not now, at least,” Ellie solemnly added. “William may not have decided to kill me, but making me into a slave? You know as well as I do that that’s even worse than being exiled. And here I thought I wouldn’t be used as a tool ever again…”

Slavery amongst werewolves… While it was not something common amongst any werewolf pack, it was still a well-known punishment amongst many. Usually done to werewolves who committed an unspeakable crime as irredeemable mutts, or members of a fallen pack’s Alpha’s family as trophies. Either way, once branded as a slave, no longer would that werewolf be seen as an equal. No longer would they be treated as a person. Instead… they will be treated as a tool they aren’t.

The author could have continued this story. I do appreciate the read and the effort on this story but I didn’t see it as a full story unless another book will continue this.

This book had potential but it was not a good ending. More like an unresolved ending that could have been expanded on and abrupt. I was disappointed.

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Three Years... For What?

    Ellie ran in the woods as fast as she could, away from what she had overheard back at her home.‘How could they…? After everything I did for them…? Even enduring that…’ she thought.Just a little earlier, instead of training or be out hunting like any other werewolf would, Ellie was at home, just got done with a certain rite she was to do in this pack. It was not something any werewolf could do, but it was more of less one that she- and only she- was required to, according to her parents.It was a rite, known as the Wolf Swap Rite; a painful weekly process that allows a werewolf unsatisfied with the wolf they were born with to exchange it for a new wolf more fitting for them. At least… That was what Ellie’s parents had told her, when they made her undergo this rite for the past two years. It was not because she was unsatisfied with her wolf, as it was just that they want her to be a better werewolf than any other. The only way to do that was to switch her wolf- her fate- for a new one

    It was silent in the woods, as Steve and Maddie stared at Ellie, puzzled to see the outsider here, when she should’ve gone hunting for food.“Ellie. To what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you here?” Maddie asked in a sickeningly sweet tone.“Don’t bother playing nice,” Ellie said with a light sneer. “I heard everything. Not just from you two, but mom and dad- No… Lila and Aiden, too! All this time, despite everything I did for you all, you guys just used me! I know you hate me, Maddie, but everyone else, too?! Even you, Steve?!”Maddie became livid by how this werewolf was acting, especially towards her lover. “Hey! He doesn’t have to take your attitude!”Ellie turned her attention to her ‘sister’ in rage. “On the contrary, after everything we’ve been through? Not to mention the fact that we are mates! I deserve answers! Do you have any idea how high a treason this is for a werewolf! Steve, how long have you been with Maddie behind my back?!”Rather than be flustered by the question

    A long time of running later, Ellie felt herself get tired and, upon seeing no one coming after her, stopped right by a large, thick tree.“Looks like I lost them,” she muttered. “But… now what do I do…?”Ellie knew it was only a matter of time until Maddie and her family gather up some werewolves to search for her, force her back home and complete the rite. Should that happen, her escape would be for nothing. She could try to fight back, but with how weakened she got because of the Wolf Swap Rite, if what Maddie said was true, there was no way she could hold them off like she used to.“Why is this happening…?” she wondered aloud. “What did I ever do to deserve this? Mom… Dad… Why did you abandon me in the woods if this was going to happen…?”Overwhelmed by the events leading to her situation, Ellie could only silently cry.Minutes into her crying, Ellie heard something from deeper into the forest, catching her attention, and ceasing her tears. “Hello? Is someone there?” she called.N

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Eve of the Final Rite

    Once Ellie was brought back to the pack… everything changed. For one thing, her pack mates- her friends- or whom she once viewed them to be, all turned on her. Called her traitor to her own kind. Some even tossed scraps and rotten fruits at her. To say she was baffled by the sudden treatment would be an understatement. She couldn’t believe the people she once got along with all turned on her so easily. Worse off, she heard claims and whispers about how it was expected of her… as a stray werewolf.It was not just their treatment towards her that changed; unlike before when they usually treat Maddie as though she did not exist, the pack treated her with a lot of respect. The very same respect… that they gave to Ellie. From the way Maddie accepted their sudden change, as though it was something extremely natural… Ellie could tell… Even the whole pack was in on this act. They never really cared about her; they only cared about Maddie! The thought and realization of that hurt so much… Elli

    The full moon shined throughout the darkness. On this supposed lovely night, a bound Ellie was getting dragged to the plaza for the last rite. Apparently, since it was such a big event to happen, Lila and Aiden decided to make this public, so everyone in the pack can formally welcome their future Alpha as the Alpha she was meant to be.It truly left a bitter taste in her mouth, though… All those looks of expectations, the joyful expressions she was seeing on these werewolves? Before the rite, before she found out the true intentions behind it, they used to be directed to her, making her feel proud to be a werewolf of this pack, and wanting to live up to many expectations.Tonight? Not even a glance came her way. No… All this attention was for none other than Maddie, who was especially giddy with what will happen next.‘I hope she gets what’s coming to her soon. Her, and everyone else,’ Ellie thought, as she got tossed onto a familiar circle next to Maddie.“Brothers and sisters of the

    “Maddie! Maddie, what happened to you?!” Steve was the first to act, as he rushed to Maddie’s side once more, holding the girl close to him. “S-… Something… hurts…” she spoke in a strained voice. “My chest… My heart…” As soon as those two words left her lips, a thought crossed her mind, as Maddie glanced at Ellie. Like her, she saw her now-worthless sister was also experiencing some kind of pain in her chest, only she was toughing it all out. Not that that mattered; what mattered most was the fact that the pair seemed to be experiencing the same pain, at the same time. ‘Don’t tell me…!’ Maddie grew enraged when another thought came to her mind. “It was you… wasn’t it…?” she began. “As some last ditch effort to get back at me for taking what was rightfully mine… You casted some kind of curse on me, didn’t you?!” Ellie- fighting through the pain still- was baffled by the accusations. “Excuse me…? What are you talking about? I don’t know any sort of witchcraft, unlike you,” she mana

    “That’s Alpha William!”Ellie- fighting against the wave of exhaustion the moment she was saved from her execution- widened her eyes when she heard who her savior was. He who was none other than that injured, delusional werewolf she found in the woods. Well… She wasn’t sure if she could call him her savior now. Not if he’s really that Alpha William of the Devorare Pack.The Devorare Pack is a pack consisting of the most vicious werewolves ever known. Any living being said to enter their sight will die in the most gruesome manner, be they prey, werewolf, or otherwise. Why, even the omega werewolves- normally incapable of combat and rather spend their days fooling around- can hold their own against other non-omegas, or so rumors say. And out of everyone in that pack, their Alpha is especially the most dangerous. He who is said to be most especially brutal and cruel to his enemies.While she knew exactly who Alpha William and his pack were, Maddie was purely clueless, if her confused exp

    With the greetings done, Jen brought his attention to Ellie. “Alpha. This werewolf…”“Call her our guest. For now,” William simply said, his tone stating no further talk about the topic. Though his tone brought more worries to Ellie about her situation, Jen bowed in respect.“Yes, Alpha. Ah. About the werewolf who brought that group of intruders into our home…”The moment the Beta changed the topic, Ellie could sense the air around William grow heavy, sending a horrible chill through her bones.“I assume you have them hostage?” the Alpha questioned.“Why yes, Alpha. In fact, because we had sensed you coming earlier…” Jen looked past the crowd behind him, where a pair of werewolves brought over a heavily injured, scrawny teenage werewolf towards them. The scrawny boy struggled to get out of his captor’s grip, only for his efforts to be in vain, for neither one of them budged an inch. One of the ‘guides’ tossed the captive werewolf down, before their leader.William knelt to the downed

    Meanwhile, at the Hermit Pack, days had passed since the encounter with the Nex Pack. After getting the time to personally grieve, it was now the day when the Hermit Pack was to move out and merge with the Devorare Pack. With news of Jengo’s passing already well known to all the werewolves in the Hermit Pack, the Devorare Wolves- well aware of their Alpha’s full feelings towards their late Beta- did not want to bother their leader with the preparations, and thus managed to get everything done in time.Of course, the preparations made were not just for the Hermit Wolves’ relocating, as one certain werewolf had just found out.“Alpha William… Tell me you are not serious about this!” Raymond requested.“I believe I made myself clear plenty of times these past few days, Alpha Raymond,” William said, looking over some documents. “Especially when I requested you to make such arrangements. You who is the only other person present at the time of Jengo’s death, in addition to being a fellow Al

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Nex Report

    It was a cold night at the Nex Pack, as Lyra, Hayden, and the other juvenile werewolves knelt before their Alpha. Most of them were quite frightened being in his presence. Specifically since they gave in their reports about the mission.“Let me see if I got this right,” Drake spoke after taking in a breath. “Not only did you kids find your target and let her go free, you told her everything about herself. In the presence of two other nobodies, no less. Did I get that right?”“Nobodies they may be, Alpha, they are also someone close to the target,” Lyra corrected. She being the only one not fazed by the menacing aura he was emitting.Her casual response only served to increase Drake’s rage, as he personally rushed down to his stepdaughter and slammed her face down to the floor. “Do you really think this is supposed to be funny in any way at all?” he questioned. “You don’t seem to understand how severe the situation is here. In this pack, it is one thing if our target manages to escape

    The next day, Ellie had regained consciousness and found herself in a very familiar room. One she could not believe she was in again. Only much worse than the last time.‘Again…? I’m in a cell again…’ she thought.She reached a hand out to the bars, hoping that the room she was in was not really what she thought it to be. Upon feeling her finger burn on contact, Ellie hastily recoiled and curled up in a ball.‘He… He really believed it all… He believed a bunch of strangers, who are also his enemies… over his own mate… Then again, when has he ever believed me in anything?’To say Ellie was in disbelief of her own situation- of the events that led to her current state now- would be an understatement. Regardless of how much William detests her, how could he easily believe in what other werewolves claim? More so when those very werewolves were part of the pack he insinuated to have a bad history with? She did not want to think what she went through last night was real, but here she was… S

Why was she even holding him in a way no mother would hold their child, but in a way a kidnapper or any sort of criminal would carry a kid?! More importantly… why was she standing with the Nex Pack like an ally rather than a hostage…?“Sheera… What’s going on here?” Killian dared ask.Sheera gave no answer, as she approached Clifford with the big werewolf behind her, and bowed to him loyally. “My many greetings, Sir Clifford,” she said.“You took a while to get here. I thought for sure you decided to back out at the last second,” Clifford said.“Nonsense. I just had a bit of difficulties trying to get this thing under control and Big here disposed of Private,” she simply said, tossing William on the ground, raising Killian and the other Devorares’ bafflement towards her and worries for the boy.“William!” the Alpha cried out, about to rush to his son, only to be knocked down to the ground by

    With Sheera and William, the pair made it to the gorge, where one of the guards stood waiting for them."Beta Sheera, Master William!" he greeted with a salute."At ease, Private," she greeted in return. "Is it only just you? Where are Alpha William and the others?""They went on ahead down the gorge. We should catch up to them. Best shift into your wolf form; the slope is steep enough, but it's probably because of the rain we had, it also looks really slippery," Private warned."So we're almost at the meeting?" William asked."Yeah. And you can meet a new friend."Sheera smiled at those last words. Only... something was off about it. "Well... Not exactly," she said."What was that?" Just as soon as Private asked that, a heavy thud was heard from directly behind him.He turned to see who or what was behind him... Only to see black.******Killian and his group carefully descended down into the gorge in their wolf form. Thankfully, even with the new moon out and weakening them, they ca

    With Raymond now gone with Ellie, William walked over to Jengo’s torn body. As he stared at it, images- memories- came flooding back into his head. All about a certain day in his childhood… when his mother betrayed their pack for the Nex Pack.*FLASHBACK*It was a peaceful night. One with clear skies and lots of stars shining down. The moon was in its New Moon Phase, a time when all werewolves would be at their weakest and most vulnerable. That said, it was also the perfect time for there to be a peaceful meeting between packs.“Alpha Killian, I really need to ask this again. But are you sure about this meeting?” Hugo asked his Alpha.“Hugo, be at ease. I understand well of your worries. But look up, will you? Tonight is the new moon. A time when our kind as werewolves are at their weakest. No matter how dangerous the Nex Pack are, even they cannot do us much harm at this time of the night,” Killian assured. “Their leader asked for this meeting at a time when neither side can do any s

    William could not believe what he was seeing before him… He wanted to think he was seeing someone else who looks like Jen lying in the pool of blood, practically torn to pieces. But no matter how he looks at the corpse in Ellie’s hands… No matter how he smelled this scent… There was no doubting it… Lying dead in his fated mate’s arms was…“JENGO!”All heads turned to his direction at his shout. While one Ellie paled at the sight of seeing the Alpha here, the other werewolves around them looked at him with confused expressions.“Huh? Who’s the new guy?” Hayden questioned.“Someone connected to the dead, maybe? He did cry out that guy’s name, after all,” Lyra guessed. “That being said, if he has connection to that dead wolf…” She trailed off there and looked down at Ellie, taking notice of the frightened expression on her face. One look at the expression she had, and an idea came to the juvenile’s mind. One she would have to wait on, as she would like to have one thing confirmed about w

    How could this have happened…? Where did he go wrong…? He tried his best to follow their movements, to defend himself against their attacks, and land a hit on them. And yet… They were too fast for him to follow, no matter what he did. Their strength broke past his defense easily. Worse off, not once did they give him a chance to do anything but defend. These juveniles did not even give him the chance to recover from any of their attacks.And now, because of the huge different in their strengths, there Jengo lied… In his own blood with an arm and leg missing from his person. His assailants all stood around him, looking down on him. Some had on mocking expressions, others were cleaning off his blood that got splattered on them during their attack fest.“Wow.

It really is different from doing hunts.”“And yet our superiors have been wasting our time away, making
