In the Hermit Pack, the atmosphere was very grim in this already dreadful pack. All for one reason.It was not because the members there were already pretty much dying out, barely having anything to provide or even be able to provide, as it was more because of their Alpha. She who was suddenly hit by what may be the most abnormal condition any werewolf has ever seen... and has become bedridden from it."You... still don't know anything... about this...?" Maddie asked, panting in pain.The Alpha was in her room with her parents, Steve, and a female werewolf in a white coat. The latter who is none other than the healer of the Hermit Pack."Alpha, I promise you as the Hermit Pack's best healer, I don't know what is wrong with you at all," the healer said. "You say you're feeling nothing but pain everywhere, and yet there is not a single bruise on you. You also did not react as anyone would when I touch the supposed infected body parts, so-""So you dare accuse me of lying?!" Maddie shout
After a brief reunion with the familiar face, Aiden and Lila dismissed the hunter werewolves and hastily brought Albus into their home, where the pair had the gypsy check on their daughter. It felt as though the Moon Goddess has answered their prayers, for him to be here when they needed him most, analyzing Maddie's condition."Hmm... Interesting..." Albus muttered, getting a pained reaction from Maddie as he pressed a gentle hand down on her core."This is far from 'interesting'," Maddie retorted with a low growl, trying hard to endure the pain. "If anything, it would be lovely if you can get rid of this stupid curse already."Maddie was not the only one who was unamused by the scene. Though for a different reason. "Maddie! Albus is here to help you and is currently the only person who can help! Show some respect!" Aiden demanded.Maddie scoffed and turned away at the demand, in no state to even argue, even though she so wanted to.Albus, on the other hand, found the exchange a bit e
More days passed in the Devorare Pack. In the time that passed, ever since Ellie began to hear her wolf's voice, while she had been acting as she usual would in the day, at night, she stayed up to converse with Eliza. Sure, there hadn't been anything interesting to talk about, but considering she just heard her wolf's voice fairly recently, she wanted to make the most of it. She didn't know how much longer she was going to live, when William was going to order for her execution. Besides, the two were also making plans for their big escape from the Devorare Pack.Ever since Ellie started to hear Eliza's voice, learning that Molly was now gone from her, she had been feeling her strength return to her, more than before. She tried to not show it, not at the risk of anyone in the pack finding out- be they Peter or whoever delivers their meal- but it really made her happy to hear that her strength was returning. So much so, she decided to spend her days doing whatever exercises she could do
Night has come for the Devorare Pack, though not late enough to let sleeping wolves lie. On this evening, in the dungeon, one certain werewolf is being met with a certain guest, and was told quite the interesting news."The Alpha... wants to see me?" Ellie asked, baffled by what Jengo told her."I believe I did not stutter. Now was I speaking in a different language," the Beta said. He with a pair of guards by his side. "It's in regards to your punishment. Be grateful, you damn mutt. The Alpha is feeling a little merciful towards you, since your pack has gone and died on you. Leaving you hopelessly homeless and helpless for what is to come for you."Ellie was completely confused by what Jengo was saying. The Hermit Pack died? How? More importantly... why would she be bothered by what happens to them? And what did he mean that she was homeless? She was practically already homeless after that pack was done with her.It wasn't until she saw the guy wink at her that she realized... he was
William sat in his office, staring at the water in the glass in his hand, waiting for Jengo to return with Ellie in tow. He hadn't taken a sip of the liquid contents, as it was more that he was simply looking at his own reflection in the water, his thoughts occupied on one simple matter.'How do I explain the situation to Ellie...?'How indeed... How was William supposed to tell the poor she wolf of the lie he had told to the pack? About her. About her false affiliation to the Liberal Pack. The punishment she would be receiving- Nay, the reason for the punishment. How was he supposed to tell her of them all?'Someone seems worried about something trivial,' Liam scoffed in his head.'Liam... Haven't heard your voice since I rejected Ellie. What brings you back?' William questioned.'Now look here, I may despise you for rejecting our mate the way you did, but that doesn't mean I will be staying silent for long. Especially not when you're thinking about our mate.'William instantly becam
Jengo had thought it was strange how William just trailed off in his words the way he did. Was he getting tired? That doesn't sound possible... At least not coming from him of all people. William doesn't even look tired. So why...?The longer he stared at his boyfriend's face, the sooner he noticed it... The change in expression in his boyfriend's eyes. A look that brought nothing but bad vibes down his every being."Will-""Mate!" Next thing anyone knew, William jumped over the desk and lunged at Ellie. Ellie was most especially baffled by the action- by the word he shouted- she didn't have time to react. Not as she felt arms wrapped around her figure, holding her tight. Not as she felt a face cuddled against her neck."What the-?! Hey!" Before she could get out a word of protest, she felt something surge through her, as she took in William's scent. A feeling so familiar, she could not believe what she was experiencing.'What is...? The mate bond?! But how... How can I feel...?' she
Now calmed down as best as possible after that unexpected surprise, William and Ellie sat on opposite sides of the Alpha's now-broken desk. Jengo, on the other hand, was standing on the sidelines, more paying attention to his boyfriend than to the discussion that will be taking place."Okay. You have my attention. If the punishment isn't... Doesn't have anything to do with what happened just now, then what is it?" Ellie asked."Before I get to that, I need to explain myself about one thing. It sort of has to do with your judgement," William said first.Ellie became confused by that little confession. Explain himself about the punishment? How does he mean? It wasn't as though it would be anything out of line, was it? At least, it shouldn't be to him, she supposed."About that... the reason for the punishment you will be receiving is not just because of the false mate bond."Ellie grew even more puzzled by those words. "What are you talking about? Isn't it because you thought I fooled y
Jengo tried hard to not be bothered by what happened earlier. In the end, however, he couldn’t forget it. How was he supposed to forget it? When it was his boyfriend who acted that way, his boyfriend who cried out ‘mate’ at Ellie. Not only that, but the guy called her that after he had rejected her! What was that supposed to mean for him?!‘Are those two truly mates after all?’That was the only viable explanation he could think of. Why else would William act that way towards Ellie? Normally when mates undergo a rejection, they shouldn’t be able to retain that sort of closeness towards one another. Jengo would know; he was Ellie’s mate as well, and rejected her first. He knows what should’ve happened after a rejection occurred between fated mates. And yet, unlike him who was filled with disgust towards her when he saw her after the event, for William? He just jumped on her. Glomped onto her and held her tightly, even cuddling her.No matter how he looked back to that, there was no way
