Smell of sandalwood, honey and something else. The overly sweet mixture cloyed the conscience of Nebraska struggling to wake up or come out of unconsciousness.
-How long do you intend to continue sleeping? - The low voice of the alpha who did not feel very good made her put his feet on the ground and open her eyes to find herself in a room even more luxurious than where she currently slept. In contrast, this place did not know him, nor did it seem to have the elegant style of Hades.
She sat up off the cold floor and the usual unpleasant noise, plus the weight of the shackles around one of her ankles, made her shudder so much that she had to use all her willpower not to vomit.
-You look like a puppy on the verge of collapse- she heard him laugh at her and looked at him sticking out her claws ready to defend herself.
Unfortunately for her, the shackle that held her was heavier than those that had held her in the past, and they were
Nebraska stared blankly from Layan to the wolf and back with an incredulous face. -Are you playing with me? - The wolf raised an eyebrow at the high volume of her voice- If they told me that she had disappeared- Layan snorted and shrugged his shoulders disinterestedly. -How do you think my reputation would be if the news that my sister went crazy came to light- -You're not being sincere- Nebraska felt that something else was hiding behind those words. Behind that armor that he had built, that wolf harbored a truth that he did not want to reveal.Still, he didn't think he would be able to help her at this point. The wolves when they reached madness had only one option, to be annihilated by someone stronger, it was almost always the alpha who was assigned this task.The only ones who could both come back from madness or help others were the omegas, one as strong as her. The wolf growled again and began to advance towards them.
Nebraska was very calm.Too calm for Layan's concern.She had not touched the food that had been brought into her room and there were no signs of leakage.The alpha tapped his finger on the table looking at his beta. -And?- He asked his beta who was standing on the other side with his hands behind his back. -She hasn't spoken, she remains sitting on her bed with nothing more than to stare into space- Staring into space was something she was surely doing, Layan thought, the difficulty in her eyes was public knowledge.But something more, he needed something more.He is sure that she would not stay with her arms crossed while he borrowed her, as he said. He rose from his seat with such momentum that he knocked him over.Nor could he delay the reason why he had it there.It had been two days since he had brought her in and they had surely noticed in the Silver Pack her and his absence. At the moment, he wa
Nebraska moved down the hall.She was grateful for her good memory, something that had developed, even more for her lack of sight, so finding the place where she was going was a matter of time.Behind her she heard the footsteps of Layan and shortly after Hades, who apparently had dressed because the sound of the cloth on his skin was in force. She was still amazed at herself being able to deal with two alphas, and not just two alphas, two that were so many years older that she dared not remember them.When she had joined Rudoc the situation had been able to control her to a point, but the peak of the summit had been due to being closed for so long.So many years in captivity had changed her so much that she scared herself.Now she no longer had the fear and indecision that she hid behind his serious face.Now she had a family to care for and for whom hse would not hesitate to put her hands on the fire. She stopped in front of the
He heard voices and didn't know from where.The darkness enveloped him and his entire body refused to listen to it.But it didn't hurt.Only exhaustion was what was present.He didn't like not knowing what was happening or what had happened, he didn't like not being in control of the situation.He barely remembered the events after his heat began. First the heat, then the need and the shuddering of his body to claim a female and knowing that he had one waiting for him had been worse the torture to the point of almost losing control.Then that sweet aroma that prompted him to run and catch it, to devour it whole. A pain in his arm followed after that and the scars from his own bite would not disappear, as did not any mark that was intended for the link, even if it lost its effect by not being on the nape of the neck.As the searing heat of desire that devoured him lessened, news that made him run away regardless of what he left
Layan was smiling at the other alpha sitting across from him.After almost half an hour telling him the hidden story of his sister, despite the growls and bad faces from Hades, he was satisfied. -You are sure you can deal with this, do you have any idea what the rest of the Council will say when they find out that your sister was always under their noses- -If you don't say a word, they don't have to find out what really happened- he rested her chin against her hand- I have several things up my sleeve and I don't think anyone will refute anything, unless you turn against me and betray me- -I should- Layan looked at him with a frown- You took someone of mine and put him in danger, perhaps that is not reason enough, and that I am not touching the small detail that you sentenced her to death- The redhead's smile had completely vanished from his face. -Maybe I had another option, you know our laws above all else, you more than anyone should ha
Nebraska walked several steps ahead of Hades. By the way she moved her shoulders and head to each side, she indicated to the alpha that she rather than study the passage around her, rather kept portraits of the places where they walked as if she were once again losing her sight and will need to depend on the other senses.Although she was not smiling, her scent told her that she was more than happy, grateful and pleased to be able to clearly appreciate her surroundings again. Instead, he was nowhere near being mildly happy.The drop of doubt about what Layan had done to Nebraska still stung and hurt his pride and more when she dragged him avoiding the conversation.Knowing him, the red-haired wolf hadn't done something according to protocol because of their reaction. -Nebraska- he called her, his voice full of authority and grave. But the omega simply ignored him and continued walking this time with her back straight and tense, she had
There was a phrase that said: Cupid struck me and that's what Nebraska believed when they heard Hades.She turned her face to the other side with a slight floss.That had taken her by surprise and with her defenses down. -Nebraska- he called her upon noticing her change in behavior. -Nothing- she waved her hand to dismiss it but the blush didn't go down and he noticed it, he didn't say anything. Sure she thought that he would only accept her, and her children as well, but agreeing to adopt them was a totally different thing. -Can I ask you some questions? - This time it was the wolf who wanted to do the interrogation -Maybe I wasn't the only one who could do them- the weird mocking tone in her filled him with joy. -Did you love Rudoc? - The idea of murdering him was out of the question, only if she asked him, he would give in, he had done the unimaginable to her, but he was still the wolf that once occupied her side.
-More- It was the only word Nebraska could hear from Hades before her lips were sealed again by the wolf's in a kiss as wild as it was passionate.Despite how abrupt it might seem, it was not painful at all.The older man's tongue was in charge of touching the specific points and entangling himself in hers only seeking not his own satisfaction, but that of his partner. Nebraska had never believed the phrase to loosen her legs, but she felt it firsthand.Inadvertently her knees buckled out of balance, but without her mouth losing attention, a thick arm hugged her waist and held her against the more solid and strong body. Nebraska squeezed his forearms in an attempt to keep her sanity.She was literally being eaten, in the best sense of the word.Her skin was bristling with the sea of sensations that ran through her as her lips were kissed, bitten, caressed by the alpha's. She wasn't familiar with being kissed, Rudoc had done
-AHHHHHHHH- a cry echoed throughout the mansion, making the hair of all the wolves inside stand on end. Nebraska had done everything possible to hold back the screams in her mouth, but the latter was impossible, causing her to lose all her strength and fall on the bed with her body bathed in sweat. Panting heavily as a cry reached her ears. Sara ran over and wiped a dry cloth over her forehead and neck in an attempt to cool him down. The omega had had five deliveries before and one miscarriage but none as difficult as this one.The pregnancy hadn't had a bad time.The months had passed quietly as she watched her belly grow, she heard her husband fight because she wanted to do things and he would not let her and her children fought with their father to make a schedule to share with their mother, claiming that he hoarded it for him alone, which was not true. The mansion had literally become a battlefield and there were moments when to have a quiet tim
Hades felt her knees go unsteady and his body trembled violently as his palm was on Nebraska's belly.Invisible threads of power twined between his fingers causing them to sting.His face went so pale Nebraska thought he was going to faint.She put her arms around him and held him quickly.Seeing him collapse twice would be too much for her, she'd been through the scare before.The great wolf looked like jelly and its tremors were very noticeable.Hades's head fell heavily forward and hot tears stained his wife's small shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her again and pulled her against him.He wanted to verify that it was true, that what was inside his wolf was true.That he was not dreaming.It was barely perceptible but the power emanating from within had connected with him, filling him with a comforting warmth that drove away all his fears.It was as if the puppy that was forming was telling him that he would be fine and
For the first time in years, Nebraska felt like sleeping in a bubble.Everything around her was irrelevant.She didn't feel anything, she didn't think about anything, there was only tranquility and it was a gratifying feeling.If she could stay like this for longer it would be wonderful but she realized that this was going on for a long time and she wanted to see familiar faces.So with more effort than she thought she slowly opened her eyes. Quickly the recognizable ceiling of her room with Hades came into focus.Ah, she was back.How long had she been sleeping?It must have been a lot because her body was completely numb and it hurt from everything.Despite the fact that she had been sleeping, she felt tired, very tired, to the point that her eyelids were weighing again and threatening to close and she couldn't help it.A large, warm hand moved over her head, tangling itself between her hair and giving her a massage that had her
There was only one thing she could do.And that was winning.For the pack, for all the people who trusted her, for her children, for Layan, for the daughter who had in her belly and for the wolf who had made her see the world in a different way.So no matter what happened, she must destroy Liam and more essential, stay alive. With those thoughts in his mind she lunged at the enemy.This time she focused all his senses and strength to give the necessary bites.She knew that the longer she lingered, the more likely Layan and Hades were in danger.But Liam moved very fast and his teeth landed on top of his shoulder blade.These trembled when they came into contact with the surface with little muscle.Still he squeezed and yanked the skin off trying to do as much damage as possible. Liam grunted in pain and moved his head to bite her when one of Layan's paws fell on his eye, burying himself in it.The bigger wolf shook his hea
Nebraska's teeth clenched around meat and hot liquid filled its snout.A heartrending howl invaded the expanse of the area so that everyone froze with their tails between their legs and their ears down. Liam shook himself trying to remove the smaller she-wolf on top and turned his head, grabbing her paw, burying his fangs into the thin skin, smashing the thin bones and throwing her aside.Nebraska landed a few feet from him and sat up spitting in disgust at a piece of meat she had brought with her.The leg that had been bitten was rebuilt with incredible speed.Layan's blood had given him the ability to regenerate and the strength in his body accelerated this process. For his part, the wound he had left on Liam's neck did not close as the ones caused by Hades or Layan had.Blood was spilled on the ground in great quantities.The wolf growled loudly in outrage. -Damn- he almost screamed in his mind but the voi
Hearing that voice, Nebraska tried to back off without success.Her surroundings turned totally gray and all the connections she had created with her pack were broken.Everything vanished, only her consciousness remaining in an empty place.She narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.Footsteps were heard behind her and she turned slowly knowing who was there. -My beautiful wolf- Liam stopped a few meters from her with a strange smile on his lips. -Liam- Nebraska's voice came out calm despite the situation -Apparently eating Rudoc's heart drove you crazier than you already were- -Crazy?- He laughed louder. -I've never been saner in all my life, my precious jewel-- That he called her with all those words only made her feel disgusted.If it came from her husband, it wouldn't be like that, when Hades said beautiful things to her ear, when they made love or just being by his side, it made her legs shake. -Don't think of a
Nebraska put her hand to her chest.Even though her face remained calm as she had been taught, even if the world fell on him, she had an anguish that taked her breath away.When she had been queen, this attitude had been masterfully reformed -What's wrong my queen?- Hades's voice reached his head and she cursed herself, that was what she wanted to avoid. -Nothing- she answered suppressing her emotions. -I can feel you trough our bond, you are worried- -Hades, I'm fine- she tried to smile mentally but it was impossible, she was nervous, she had never had so many important people for her with their lives in danger -It is normal that I am is somewhat uneasy given our situation, but I can deal with that- Hades was slow to answer but when he did his voice was filled with warmth. -Quiet my queen, I will return to your
Nebraska had decided many things in the moments that she could take for herself to think about.First, she couldn't tell her husband about the creature in her womb yet.She would know that he would be overjoyed but that would only make his worries more.As queen and her half, her job was to take the weight off her shoulders, not put more. Hades had suffered the loss of several attempts of cubs, if she told him, at first he would not let her participate in the coming war and that was a luxury that they could not afford or they would not have given her their bloods.Second, he would be thinking all the time that his puppy might die and she did not want to see him in anguish.Now was a defining moment.All energies and focused minds were needed.The alpha had to lead many wolves and she could not be a burden. She nuzzled her stomach lovingly and smiled.At least she was glad that she would be the one who could give him what he lon
Saisen walked with his arm on the shoulders of one of his twins, Leoxi.The wolf looked more like his mother than him.Rather, her two sons had the character of the mother.Neither had brought out their playful tempers.Maybe it was because their first five years had been raised alone with her, until he found them by chance.If that day had not passed, he would not have his beloved blessings with him. His wife Celesia, was the strongest wolf he had ever met, had trained and taught him almost 90% of everything he knew.In times of war they had even ended up and both were enemies of different factions.But she was able to protect her cubs from harm.He loved her and respected her for it, more than the wolf imagined. The two of them met their mother and brother talking in front of their room door.From the appearance of the alpha's healed skin, especially on the neck, they realized that he had had too intense a moment.T
