Layan kept the smile on his face despite the clawed hand clenching his wrist and the menacing scent of the alpha before him. Nobody but his person knew the reaction of touching something that was his. The scene was funny to him. As annoying as either of them were, they couldn't fight, that would be a fatal crime.
Hades growled, pulling out his fangs and frowning. He circled Nebraska's waist and held her as he felt the small body tremble beside him.
-Treat-
-Let go of me- the red-haired alpha told him calmly but with a demanding tone.
-What if I didn't, what?- He growled. His faded from his face leaving his eyes with a threatening glint- Would you endanger the safety of your pack for a she-wolf? I don't recognize you-
Another grunt of response.
-Oh, I see- he approached Hades -Your zeal is scratching- He raised his eyebrows and then relaxed her with a smile again.
He shook his arm loose and took a
Nebraska took a step back to stop, shaking violently.The image of the alpha before her terrified her as much as it could captivate her. The loose, tousled dark hair that framed his pearly face in tiny beads of sweat.The unbuttoned shirt that clung to the skin exposing the defined muscles of an adult wolf in its prime.The baggy pants that barely made the effort to hide her shapely legs and the complete absence of shoes made him look wilder than what he normally displayed.Although, Nebraska was more attentive to the menacing glint in his silver eyes than she could define even with his impaired eyesight. She took another step back only to receive an answering growl from him and her throat went dry.Her entire body was withdrawing, wanting to run away and go to him in equal parts.His mind dictated that she had to get out of there, but the animal nature was strong and dictated that she should join this alpha. She did not wa
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
