Alpha Hercule kept tossing and turning in his bed. He wanted to take a quick nap before heading back to his office.

But sleep seemed to evade him.

Soon his relentlessness paid off and he slowly drifted to nothingness.

But his tranquility was soon disturbed. He began having a nightmare. The voice of the woman kept repeating in his head.

“Come to me. Hercule”

He frowned and cold sweats began to form on his forehead.

He couldn't move his body. He felt something pinning him down.

Unconsciously, his fangs started to grow, and his claws began to show up.

The wolf inside him can sense the danger, and it wants to get out.

The Alpha's heart is pounding loudly like a drum in a metal band.

In a minute, his fangs dug into his lip and the pain jolted him back to his senses.

He could taste his own blood and when he saw his pillow his eyes enlarged. Claw marks everywhere.

“What's happening to me?” He asks in concern.

He panted heavily and instinctively drank water from the pitcher near his bedside.

    Vesper continued running away even after the scent of Qillalon and the other wolves had vanished from her tail.She wanted to make sure no wolf would get close enough to get her full scent as it would be a dead giveaway and would disrupt the investigation.“Not now. We are near to solving this.” She said as her frizzy hair brushed the tree branches.When she was about to reach the Flatlands she stopped in one of the trees. She breathes heavily as she leans on the old oak tree.“Dark magic,” she uttered while looking at her ashen trembling hand. The same hand that yanked Alpha Hercule from the edge of being possessed.Then she noticed the bracelet Gertrude gave her. It slowly lost its color.Soon the bracelet rotted and maggots began to show up.She cringes in disgust, removes it, and throws it away with haste.“What the fuck?” She yelled in confusion. She started sniffing, and she could smell the scent of the trees, leaves, and Alpha Hercule on her clothes.“Shit! I need to return to

    Alpha Qillalon entered the room and when he got inside Vesper was nowhere to be found.“Vesper?” He called out to her.“Here!” She answered, her voice coming from the restroom. She just has enough time to wash all the dirt and remove the scent from her body.She even lit all the scented candles on display in the restroom to ensure that Qillalon wouldn’t smell anything unusual.Alpha Qillalon entered the restroom. The scent of roses from the scented candles entered his nostrils.He soon met her gray eyes. She was in the bathtub having a bubble bath.She blushed as she came up with another lie to throw him off her track, “I… I saw the bubble baths and bath bombs were near expiry, so I used them… And… And the candles seem a nice touch to feel luxurious.” She lowered her head in shame, “I hope you don’t mind.” She said in a low voice.He shook his head, “Of course not. I told you, you should experience things that I have. As… you are my mate. I will indulge you in luxury and care,” he rema

    Gertrude slowly opened her eyes. The light in the infirmary was reflected in her beautiful blue eyes. She breathed rapidly, like a fish running out of water.She's a bit disoriented about where she was.She glanced around the room and saw Alpha Hercule sleeping on the chair near her.She slowly regained her composure and calmed down.“Little pup.” She muttered in a weak voice.The Alpha woke up immediately and held her cold hand. “How do you feel?” he asked without any delay. She smiled faintly. Her face is still pallid, but she feels better. “I’m fine. How about you?” she asks in concern.“Good. Whatever it was you scared it out of me… Thank you.” He muttered in gratitude.She slowly sat on the bed, “Where’s Velmont?” She asked. She wants to contact him via a mental link but her mind is as blurry as a foggy mirror.He shrugged. “He left and never returned. I could ask one of the Omegas to call him.”She nods.Soon, an Omega hurriedly searched for Velmont. Who, at that time, delivers

Her hands were filled with callus, rashes, and wounds, showing that life had not been good to her. The doctor could see that she was on the brink of death. He checked the name on the bed to make sure he was looking at the right patient. "Vesper Marie Miles." He read the name casually.Without any hesitation, he took a syringe out of his lab coat. He is planning to end her misery. He’d inject her with morphine till she fell deep asleep and never woke up. “The best way to go,” he said as he filled his syringe with drugs.When he is about to inject it into the patient, she slowly opens her gray eyes. “No, I don’t want to die…”“Not yet…”“Not yet…”She said in a weak voice. She stared at his nameplate ~Dr. Lazarus Lunaris~The doctor smiled. “Die, why are you going to die? I’m giving you a medicine.” He explains while giving her an assuring smile.“Lies… I… I s

Sander giggles, “Don’t be dispirited. Emily and the others will decorate tables tomorrow morning. It's still a win for us since we don’t need to wake up too early,” he explained.Sebastian sighed and felt a bit better. “If you say so.” Evie chuckles, “You are always optimistic Sander, I wish I was as cool as you.” She voices out while sweeping the floor.“Well, what can you expect from a future Alpha…” Sebastian suddenly blurted out.Sander’s eyes widened in horror. “Sebastian!” He yelled in annoyance.Sander’s father was the Alpha of their pack and he was the rightful heir to the next Alpha, but before he could start his proper Alpha training, their pack was annihilated by hunters, and he was stripped from his ranks and his aura rema

    “What's the urgent matter you want to talk to me about?” Qillalon asked as they reached Mercimer's room.“About your mate…” Mercimer paused and let his words sink into him, when he noticed he got all of Qillalon’s attention he continued speaking, “I think something is not right with her.” Qillalon raised his eyebrows in curiosity, “What do you mean?” he questioned defensively. Mercimer shrugged, “I don't know yet.” He says and then shows Vesper's talisman. “Looks familiar?” He teased. Qillalon nods, “It's Vesper’s…”Mercimer nods, “Right. I borrowed it from her and sent it to a shaman, and they found mental link magic in it.” He explains.Qillalon's eyes widened in disbelief. “She's talking to someone using this?” He says as he holds the talisman. “She’s probably talking to Tony.” He said to himself.“Yes,” Mercimer confirmed.“Do you know who?” He asks, confirming his theory.He shook his head. “At first I thought it was the detectives. The design of the talisman is a bit similar t

    In the barracks, the Omegas are preparing for their event and they wear the best clothes they have in their possession.Emily squinted her eyes when she saw Vesper was wearing her usual work clothes, “Don’t you have a dress?” She asked in concern while applying makeup to her face. Vesper shook her head.“Alpha Qillalon didn’t even buy a dress for you?” Evie asks.Vesper’s eyes dilated and then blushed, “No, he is busy with all the crimes and attacks… and I think that would be weird." She muttered while brushing her frizzy hair.She frowns, “I fucking hate this… I miss my long bouncy black hair.” She said to herself.Emily giggles, “You are the weird one. It's normal for him to buy you things, you're his mate. Also, you bought all of us gifts. Like this expensive makeup palette that I’m using right now, but you didn’t purchase anything for yourself.” She remarks.“Well…” She let her statement linger but failed to continue her sentence. It's also a mystery to her why she’s nice to them.

    Pennsylvania…Jacques wanted to keep the incident that happened to Eleanor a secret from the headmaster, but before he could even come up with a lie, the headmaster saw through him.“What’s the issue this time?” He said, his voice was weak. Despite that, there was a menacing tone to it that Jacques understood immediately that he must tell the truth.Hearing no response from Jacques, the headmaster got angry, “Didn’t you hear me, boy?” He said with an annoyed voice.Cold sweat formed on Jacques's forehead, and he swallowed slowly, “It’s our pawn, Eleanor. She went inside Alpha Qillalon’s rooms to create a ruckus between him and his mate.”The headmaster’s brows furrowed. “The wolf from the rare bloodline. Because of this illness, I almost forgot about him.” He said to himself.“Make sure to keep the pawns aligned. Our main goal is to enter the digital room and get a copy of their research. Once I’m healed, we’ll take over everything they have.” He exclaimed raspily.The idea got him so

They are so preoccupied with their lustful encounter that they never notice there’s another person in the dimly lit room.Qillalon and Vesper slowly moved to the bed and their eyes widened in surprise when they saw Eleanor lying naked on the bed.“What are you doing? How could you cheat on me, Qilli? After all, I’ve sacrificed to convince Zane to let me go.” Eleanor yelled in disdain, acting as if she'd been wronged. She started crying, “Didn’t you like our intercourse earlier? That you need to take this poor excuse of a human.” She clamored deliriously, trying her best to sow discord between Vesper and Qillalon.Clueless that the two were together almost 100% of the time.Qillalon’s lips quivered in confusion and an undeniable tension was in the air.“What the fuck?” These were the only words Vesper could utter as her eyes moved around Eleanor’s body and saw marks on he

    “So Adrian?” A familiar voice muttered. Vesper spun around. Her eyes widened in shock, she didn't notice him approaching, “Hey, huh? You’re awake.” She uttered in surprise. He nodded with a grin on his lips.Soon, he handed her the ring back and began talking via a mental link.“How did you find me?” She asks curiously.“I have a mate radar.” He commented playfully.She smiled, seeing that he was as happy as before and the color on his face was back to normal."I tried calling you via mental link only to hear my father on the other line.” He said.She laughs, “That’s awkward.”“It is,” he replied merrily.“Gertrude gave my ring to him while we were asleep,” she explains.He glanced away and asked her again awkwardly, “Sooo… Adrian is your first love?”She shrugged, “I guess. He is this really nice boy. The first time I laid eyes on him. I felt that I could do good. The innocence he brought is just—”She hasn't finished his sentence when he suddenly silences her with kisses out of jea

    Eleanor knocks on Qillalon’s door multiple times but no one answers. “Where are you?” She asks herself as she switches on her wolf senses, trying to locate him but to no avail. His scent had already scattered in the air. She soon opens a mental link to speak to Alpha Mercimer, who tells her that Qillalon was sent on a mission. She heaves a sigh of relief thinking that Vesper is not with him. She swiveled around the hallway when she was sure no one was watching. She pried open Qillalon’s door and entered it. She inhaled his scent in his room and lay on his bed. She hugged his pillows and nestled herself in his blanket, savoring every aroma he had left. Imagine the old days when she slept in his arms. His warm body touched her skin and his contagious smile with his perfect white teeth. She smiled from ear to ear, but her happiness soon ended when she caught another scent in the room. Her face slowly contorted in an unusual way. Her face was disfigured with a conflicting distortion

    Delta Selene was tossing and turning in the bed. The black shadow she saw looming around Eleanor was keeping her wide awake. “What I saw was real, right?” She asks herself as she stares blankly at the ceiling. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest. Nervous for a reason she couldn't explain. She starts biting her nails in unease as cold sweats form on her forehead. The nagging feeling is howling inside her waiting to be let out.She was so immersed in her thoughts that she got up from bed and started pacing in the room when suddenly the nightstand lampshade was switched on, startling her immediately that she almost stumbled onto the floor. She'd been thinking too much, forgetting that her mate was inside the room with her, and she had just disturbed his slumber.“Selene, it's one in the morning. Go back to sleep.” Alpha Cain suggested. His voice is dry and raspy, and he is obviously half asleep. She sighed deeply and sat on the bed, hands clenched in puzzlement. Alpha Cain no

"We annihilated the council of Vampires and all the old blood. We only need to kill the Elders and the Mafia lord," he said to himself while staring at the photo on his nightstand showing a group of young men and women in military uniform holding high-caliber guns while a white wolf was lying dead in front of them.The beeping and buzzing sound of the machines chimes with syncing glee, “Finally, good news after all the failed attempts you tried.” The headmaster says with a faint smile on his face.Jacques couldn't help bu

    In a distant facility in the heart of Pennsylvania.Jacques, a young high-level wizard, hastily ran to the headmaster's quarters with a jovial, menacing grin on his lips. “In your face Gertrude Fallis,” he mumbled to himself.The tussle of his long black robe dances in sync with his movements. His mid-length black hair was braided in a French style, making him appear relaxed and friendly, but deep inside his blue eyes, he couldn't hide the pressure, the sleepless nights, and the uneasiness he'd been feeling recently.But not today—today is different. His magic finally possessed someone useful.After months of failed attempts to shake the Citadel manor, he finally has a break.He knocked on the headmaster’s door, and he was soon permitted to enter.Inside the chamber is a well-equipped medical room filled with machines that are usually present in the hospital.The buzzing apparatus, IV drips, and monitor all surround the lavish bed in the middle of the room.“What brings you here at thi
