Ten days had passed by the time she opened her eyes to find a distorted image of the sky above her, better and more visible than before, but still undefined. Her eyesight was still badly damaged, although better than before.
There were murmurs around her, she couldn't identify what they were saying and that smell.
Rather, those smells, it wasn't just one. She sat bolt upright feeling every bone in her body crunch and a wave of pain run through her that made her lose her strength. Arms encircled her waist and someone sat behind her thus leaning her back on the male chest.
The sweet scent that she had felt that time reached her nose and she raised her head in a futile attempt to see who it was.
-Quiet ma, do not make an effort- Nicolas caressed the arms of the little woman and kissed the crown of the head. An innate happiness invaded him and the fragrance it gave off made him want to be by his side for as long as he could.
-Ma, are you oka
He already knew the she-wolf's name. Weird, strange, uncommon, but strong, worthy of the position she had been in. Nebraska, a name given to those who would not bow. He could feel her body tremble under his fingers, although his countenance did not change. Her serious expression, with those beautiful totally neutral violet eyes. She had learned well. A pack leader could never show his emotions even if he was destroying himself inside. They were the support of the pack, if they fell apart, they were all doomed. -Rudoc made a good choice in marrying you, too bad he didn't know how to take advantage of you -Nebraska swallowed when she heard her husband's name -Don't worry about him. We have him confined in one of our cells until the Council decides his future- -And ... and the pack- she said with difficulty. Once she knew her children were safe, her second priority came. Her other family. Hades frowned remembering not the state of the wolves.
-Your children made a deal with me- that caught her attention, it was good to know when something bad was coming- It is surprising what despair can do- The omega breathed heavily. -The liberation of you and your pack, in exchange for you- Nebraska shook her head. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Hades tried to be tactful, something that did not agree with him, saying things up front was easier for him. -In summary. You are mine now- Nebraska didn't move a muscle. She knew that all this could not be so easy. Her herd frees, his children safe, with nothing in return? She was young, but not delusional to know that everything is paid for. -What do you want from me?- Fighting him was not an option when his children were a few doors away under the tutelage of that wolf. He also knew how strong and imposing he could be. He had vague memories of when he let his wild side fly. The powerful weight on her still stung her back.
Nebraska felt the beta approach her, and she reflexively backed away, just barely, as her aching legs would allow. The silhouette was not as large as that of the alpha but more than that of any of his children. Siran watched the woman laid guard on the ground. He had to admit that there were few wolves that faced him. His beta position hadn't come overnight and it wasn't solidified for fun. He knew their reaction to others and was scold by Hades for it. He approached the omega and leaned around her with one arm and the other passed under her legs, carrying her. Nebraska stood still and stiff. Up close now, the dominant wolf scent was pervasive and did nothing to hide it, claiming her body to submit to him. To her impression, the beta didn't say anything, didn't even look at her. With them in his arms, he turned and walked to a door that he kicked open. The uniform white color of the place plus the steam that shook her skin told her that she was
Nebraska tried to focus the outline of the plate with very appetizing pieces of meat and fruit, with distrust. If she had learned anything in her years in prison, it was that she shouldn't accept food unless she knew where it came from. It wouldn't have been one, the times her dinner had been drugged to make her go into heat and force her to have children. As they say, the third time was the charm and after the second time he had refused to eat. There came the injections so painful that they had left marks on his neck. When Rudoc wanted something, it was difficult for him not to get it. -We will have to cut it- Sara's voice behind her brought her out of her thoughts -What?- -That will have to be cut, your hair is very tangled, there is no way to comb it- -Do what you want- she said without caring. He had always worn it long, not because it was cut she was going to depress, he had more important things in mind. She felt the girl leave t
Hades brought his wrist to his mouth and licked the blood from his own bite that was already closing. He smiled at the sensation that ran through every muscle fiber. The small body that fitted him perfectly, drinking from his being, directly from the frantic throbbing vein was more than he imagined. He ran down the white back, massaging each knot he found, as well as small scars that still refused to fade. With the other he caressed her knee and moved up the length of her thigh to rest it on the smooth skin of her gluteus and pressed her closer against him, in an attempt to ease the raw desire that was beginning to emanate. He heard her growl at the act, though the wolf ignored her. Leaving the caress behind her, he kept pressing her face down when she was about to separate. He still had to take a little more blood. Nebraska shuddered and gasped. Her head was a mess and now that she felt stronger she wanted to move away, but the hand on her neck prevented her
Siran put on his shirt, aware that the day was young and that he still had things to do, but he was satisfied leaving his wife with a radiant smile in the bed wrapped between the sheets and who was delighted with her half-dressed figure. -Don't worry about rushing, Hades is well entertained with his new acquisition. It had been a long time since I saw him so motivated- The beta combed his blonde hair back in the beautiful, immaculate waterfall down to the nape of his neck, which Sara loved to ruffle just to annoy him. -You could not mention that wolf to me, I still remember when she attacked him- -As spiteful as ever. She had no control over herself- -Sara, let's not talk about it, I don't want to spend the rest of the day in a bad mood-Siran had to stop the pillow that was directed at him. -But what...- The she-wolf had risen up in bed and was calling him with her finger. He sighed and approached, l
Nebraska was taking small steps and being able to stand on her knees without them bending on the spot, it still hurt, but she was hiding it from Noa and Alan who were doing their best to help her recover as quickly as possible. At the other end of the room, Nicolas was sitting with some papers that he reviewed from top to bottom, with data from his old pack and now belonging to Hades, staying aside was not in his personality and he had asked the alpha to at least let him organize his family records. -Ma, be careful, don't rush, you're doing fine- Noa held her with an arm around her waist, taking care of her every move. -Anyone would say that I am your little daughter if you keep talking like that- joked the she-wolf for the first time in many years. The instinctive connection between mother and cub was stronger than any separation that could exist, and proof of that was their children's acceptance of the fact that she had just appeared in
-I have to admit that you are tougher than a stone- Hades walked slowly, with his hands in the pockets of his pants, a few meters in front of the she-wolf. Nebraska had insisted on walking alone. She had told him, letting go of his arms, that if they continued to help her in everything, she would not be able to get up on her own, that she was grateful for her help, but that she needed to. Determined woman, with a strong spirit, she realized more and more that she met the requirements. It was still early days and he could not be captivated, after more than 600 years of firm conviction. The reign of the silver pack was not, nor would it be, of anyone. The omega stepped ahead of the other, measuring strength, distance, her breathing. Too many years had raged, she needed to train again and regain her strength as soon as possible. She was following Hades, who kept a decent distance, though still keeping an eye on her. The wall was her best support but when
-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
