The moonlight poured in through the large windows, casting an eerie glow over the luxurious bedroom. I stood near the window with my body tensed and my hand balled in a fist. I felt the weight of Smoke's presence in my mind battling to take control of my body. I hate how powerless i felt because the constant push and pull between me and Smoke is really exhausting and because he is the most powerful part of me, he would always win.I knew what Skylar was planning all evening and it made me want to jump out of my skin. If it was left to me, I could resist her but Soke's instinct were primal and hard to resistMy back was still facing her but i could feel her walking slowly over to my side."Why are you so distant, Alpha? You've be so cold all evening." Her voice dripped with sweetness which disgusts me but excites Smoke. She ran her finger down my arm and came to my face to show herself. She was putting on an extremely short revealing net nightdress that clung to her curves. The confide
I had reached my breaking point and the realization that I was being a prisoner in my on body had made me drowned in sadness. Smoke being under Skylar’s control pushed me to take drastic measures. I just couldn’t continue letting Skylar take advantage of my body. I needed a plan, a way to regain control of my mind, my body and my pack.“Lucas, we need fast solution if we want to be saved in this pack.” Desperation clear in my voice as I faced Lucas, who was sitting in front of me.“Alpha, we need to tame Smoke first, that’s the only way you can find solution.”“Do you have any idea of how I can do that?” I asked, hoping he has a solution for taming Smoke.“I have no idea but Smoke is the only one that can get in the way of getting solution” his response made Smoke growl and he released his aura which made Lucas jumped a bit.‘Buddy, you need to calm down, he is right after all.’ I tried to calm Smoke down.After several days of research, we discovered a risky but necessary solution to
Aiden's PovI stood in the training field enjoying the raw power rushing through my veins. It’s been a while since I felt such power. Today is a different day because I decided not to put Smoke to sleep with wolfsbane as usual. I knew I needed his full strength today. I was already growing tired of the subtle shift in the pack, the changes in hierarchy, and most of all, Skylar’s unchallenged ruling.Everyone knew Skylar was the one ruling the pack. I was just her puppet. She had me threw Shenaya’s father, the head Omega into the dungeon, Killed an omega for spilling her coffee, disrespected my family- Lucy, She fired all of my trusted executives and replaced them with total strangers I assumed are from her pack. The list of her doings is just endless.My pack that was the most feared and safest pack in Rome was crumbling right in front of my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it. Her tyranny is growing my warriors and other pack members resentful and I could see it in their ey
Skylar’s Pov.My plans had been running smoothly for months now. The Cresent pack believed it’s their Alpha that was still in control but deep down it was Mighty. Every order I gave was from Mighty. I gradually replaced Aiden most trusted executives with like the Gamma, the Delta and the stupid head Omega with Mighty’s Loyal warriors. I needed to know everything going on in the pack so Mighty’s attack on the pack can come smoothly. But something wasn’t right.The first problem was when I tried to connect to Smoke but I couldn’t reach him. I started to panic because his connection was weak and unstable. If something had happened to Aiden, I would have known but it felt like Aiden was okay and his wolf was not.I was extremely shock when Aiden finally made it known that he has been poisoning his wolf just to be in control of his body. I never thought he could go that far.I’ve been dizzy all day and by the time the afternoon sun began to dip, I noticed a subtle and undeniable change in
Aiden's PovI leaned back in my chair, I stared back into dark sky outside the window. The thought of Shenaya came to me. I couldn’t face her father since I was still trapped in my body and I haven’t even heard of anything from her. She would have given birth by now but she didn’t reach out to me to tell me anything about my pup.How could she? I accused her of carrying a bastard child even though I knew she had no one else but me. Talking about bastard child, I wasn’t sure if Skylar’s pup belonged to me. I had never caught her with someone else but I couldn’t help but feel it that she was seeing someone else. That was why I had Lucas and his men followed her every move ever since she announced the pregnancy to me.The main reason why I wanted them to follow her was majorly because I wanted her to slip up and reveal where she had hidden the concoction that bound Smoke to her but so far, they found nothing and it’s beginning to frustrate me.I raised turned my head to look in the direc
Aiden's PovI was lost in thought of what I just witnessed and I couldn’t help but wonder what Skylar wanted from me. One thing I know for sure is that the pregnancy she claimed was mine wasn’t mine but I’ll pretend pending the time I break free from this shackles. What could be that shadow?Just as I stood up from the edge of the bed, a sudden thought struck me like a lightning bolt. If Skylar was cunning enough to keep something hidden, where would she keep it? She would keep it somewhere I would never think to look, somewhere hidden, somewhere she knew I would never suspect. What if it’s in this room with room with me? I mean it’s an obvious and simple place. I would never think she would put something as powerful in the same room we shared.I scanned the room with fresh eyes. I started my search from the most obvious places like the closet, the bathroom, the bookshelves, my personal library, I even checked through the drawers because it’s been a while I used the library. I couldn’t
Shenaya/ Emily's PovI looked out the window of my small but cozy apartment near the Seine River in Paris. My family, and the entire pack, had been incredibly supportive ever since I arrived here. Ethan and Mother insisted I stay in the pack house with them, but I begged for my own space. The thought of living in the pack house triggered my PTSD, and I feared it would bring back painful flashbacks. Thankfully, they agreed, on the condition that I would have two Omegas stay with me and that they’d visit me in my new apartment in the human world every day. I accepted their terms.A soft cooing sound drew my attention, and I turned to see Hailey, one of the Omegas, holding my baby boy. The memory of his birth was still fresh. When the doctor told me it was a boy, I couldn’t help but shed tears. I remembered how Aiden once mentioned he wanted a baby girl who looked exactly like me, and I laughed at him then.I named him Aaron Leonardo Caesar, but I simply call him Leo. Ethan had offered me
Aiden’s Pov“How dare you, Skylar?” I snarled, my wolf teetering on the edge of control. My voice echoed off the cold stone walls of the dungeon. Skylar stood behind the bars, her head bowed, silent and unflinching, with part of her face hidden in the dim light.“Tell me who this shadow is, Skylar!” I ordered, authority lacing my voice as I stepped closer, struggling to contain my anger. But my Alpha command fell flat. Skylar remained mute. How was she managing to resist? She’s a Beta wolf, and my command should have worked on her. Then again, Skylar has always been full of surprises.The moment I broke free from Skylar’s mind shackles, I threw her in the dungeon—not just any dungeon, but one hidden deep within the pack’s territory.“You’re torturing a pregnant woman, Aiden,” she finally spoke, her voice trembling, eyes welling with tears. She tried to use her pregnancy as a shield, but it wasn’t going to work this time.“Did you think of Shenaya’s pregnancy when you threw her off the
