William lied in bed in relief, having just finished the last of the paperwork he had to do. A few minutes passed since Jen left to see their prisoner, and the Alpha could not help feeling a little restless for some reason. It couldn’t be that he missed Jen; there were times when he and his Beta had to do their own work, especially in William’s case, and thus could not be with one another. This? This restless feeling was not that…

‘Liam… Are you the one feeling restless?’ he mentally asked his wolf.

‘How did you figure?’ Liam indirectly confirmed.

‘So it was you… Don’t tell me you’re feeling restless because of what happened to that girl. Even though you know she is not our mate?’

Liam gave no immediate answer at the question, causing the werewolf to raise a confused brow. ‘… I know she may not be our real mate, but that does not mean I cannot worry about her. Rather… I can’t help but worry about her regardless,’ the wolf said at last.

‘Seriously? You would worry this much for a strang

    It hurts… Everywhere Ellie feels, it was just nothing but excruciating pain… From her chest, to her torso, her legs and arms, even to the tips of her fingers and toes. Heck, it even hurts to just breath, whether it was through her nose or mouth.‘I didn’t feel this much pain… back when Steve rejected me…’ she thought. ‘My wolf is not in me… Maddie’s wolf is… So why… does it hurt so much…?!’ Amidst the agony she was going through, Ellie could’ve sworn she was hearing a voice call out to her.“…-ey… -re you o-… Hey!”‘A voice…? Who’s… calling for me…?’ she wondered then, catching whiff of a familiar scent. The moment she caught the smell, to her surprise, the pain was starting to subside. It was not as though the pain was fading away, as it was more that another feeling was starting to well up in her once more. One that was making her head feel fuzzy, and her vision blur. ‘A-… Again…? What the hell is wrong with me…? What did that stupid rite do to me…?! Someone… help…’******“Hey! Are

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Night Between Mates

    As Jengo exited out the dungeon, William did not pay his boyfriend any mind at all, as he only kept his attention on Ellie, who seemed to be doing somewhat better than before. Well… Rather than say that he did not pay Jen any mind, it was more that he couldn’t focus on anything other than the female werewolf in the room with him. Not only did his senses feel dulled with every passing second, but his mind… All he could think about was Ellie. Particularly… About taking her.The pain Ellie had been experiencing got completely suppressed by the other feeling that sprouted by Jen’s presence. Why that feeling returned when the Beta had completely rejected her, she did not know why, but she could not find herself hating nor rejecting the feeling. No… It would be more accurate to say that she was not able to do either. Not with how close William was to her.For some reason, just his presence alone was helping her recover from the pain. That is, if she could call it a ‘recovery’, when really i

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Rekindling Between Boyfriends

    Jen could not sleep at all last night. How could he after everything that happened? What happened with Ellie was one thing, but right after that? With William? … He tried to sleep it off at first, hoping that it was nothing more than a bad dream, only to end up with an even worse dream. One that had William leave Jen for that female. And the horrible part of it? William reciting the words of rejection to Jen… with the Beta experiencing the mate rejection…After having a nightmare like that, Jen did not dare return to slumber. He much rather not has any more negative thoughts about the circumstance. Just the possibility of his boyfriend succumbing to the mate bond was worrying enough; he did not want the thought to become a reality, much less see it in a dream. And so, instead of returning to slumber, Jen spent the night training. He had to keep his mind occupied so he wouldn’t at least remember how William pushed him away. Despite his best effort, though, the training only did so much

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Speculation

    William was puzzled by what Jen just revealed to him. Did he hear his boyfriend right? He and that stray… They’re mates?!“Well, ‘was’ is more appropriate, since I rejected her,” Jen corrected. “But, regardless of that, just the fact that my wolf got attracted to her’s, when she already has you- her mate… Not only that, but when I used the words of rejection, she seemed to be in real pain from that. For her to react that way… Something is definitely suspicious about her.”“Is that so…” William could only say, unsure how he should feel about the news.On one hand, he was glad to hear this, for it meant that his suspicions about Ellie were true. That the girl could not possibly be his true mate, if she was able to attract another werewolf, and be attracted to him. He did not know what pack she came from, but if they were planning on what Jen assumed they would, those people must be quite desperate to get rid of competition. Either that or they may want to simply rule over these woods. R

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Strange Feeling

    It was the middle of the afternoon when Ellie woke, feeling quite sore all over. Her mind was hazy for a moment, but then she recalled it… Everything that happened last night. Her attempted escape from the Devorare Pack, the discovery that Jengo was her- well, Maddie’s- fated mate, her second experience of the mate rejection, and… what she did with William…Her face heat up at the memory, her eyes and mind now wide awake. What the hell did she do?! Did she… actually spend the night with William… in that sense?! Moreover, it was her first time! Her first time! Even back with Steve, not once did she ever get in heat! And yet… And yet she did it so passionately with him…Was she out of her mind or something?! Even if she was in heat, for her to do it with William- he who not only was not her mate, but also did not think of anything good or decent about her!- right after getting that second helping of the mate rejection?! … Even if she knew that rejection may not be directed to her, but M

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   The Visit to the Healer

    When Ellie was told that the two patrolling werewolves- whom she learned were called Morgan and Ashina- were ‘assigned’ to her, she was more than convinced that they were tasked to either torture or kill her. Given their first impression to one another, she could’ve sworn William allowed them to deliver some additional pain to her, especially after she somehow got the guy to have sex with her last night. Forced him to be with her instead of his boyfriend, whom he truly loved more. “Hmm… Looks like the injuries you came in with are all healed up,” Samantha said, looking over Ellie’s bare body in her office. She did not think the pair of patrols- now her wardens- meant it in a harmless way, as they brought her to the healer’s place. All so she could get proper recovery from the beating they gave her from her escape attempt. At first, she didn’t even know where they were going to take her, as they led her out the dungeon- without even bothering to bind her like they did to their traito

    Ellie ran as fast as she could in the woods, ducking and jumping over various tree branches, boulders, and logs in her path. She had to run… to get to her destination; her goal! Before they can… It did not take long for her to hear howls behind her, prompting her to push herself into running faster. Not long after the howl, rustling and footsteps were then heard. Ellie didn’t need to turn to see who was behind her. Not when she had to keep her focus on the obstacles in front of her. Soon enough, she finally got out of the woods, arriving at a meadow. She stopped for a moment to look around, noticing a flag in the middle of the area. The moment she had her eyes on it, Ellie rushed towards the object. Sadly, not long after that, she got tackled down. From the sound of the additional rustling around her, her pursuers had her surrounded. She tried to get up, to at least attempt to fight back, only to feel an additional weight pile itself on top of her, as well as a paw push her head dow

    After lunch, as Teach had suggested them to do, Ashina and Morgan took Ellie around for the girl to get used to her ‘new home’. Even though Ellie knew she may not actually be staying as long as they assumed, with how eager they were- at least, Ashina was- she didn’t have it in her to deny their tour. Besides, even if she wasn’t staying permanently, she also wasn’t going to leave at any time soon, despite how much she wanted to. She may as well make note of the places she was allowed to go during her time here.While Ashina was showing their new pack member around, Morgan was just silently following behind the girls, keeping an eye on them in case of any sort of happening. Mainly, if Ellie tries to do anything.Despite the Alpha’s orders to pretend last night never happened- rather, because of the order- Morgan became extremely dubious of Ellie after her little stunt. Ashina may be willing to let bygones be bygones, and be friendly towards her, but him? As a werewolf completely loyal t

    “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.Since slavery was a practice that was rarely

    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

  • Alpha's Double-Scent Mate   Prisoner Once More

    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 Sheera here…? Why does she have their son- her own boy- in her arms in that condition? 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. Who’d have thought blood from a victim would taste so different compared to animal blood?”“Same with attacking a kill target. It really is different from doing hunts.”“And yet our superiors have been wasting our time away, making
