Noa glanced over his shoulder as he sprinted down the hall, watching out for his pursuer. His lungs clenched for air as his brown hair tousled over his eyes.
He rounded the corner dodging a table when the scent of his enemy was behind him. His head was in a whirlwind to think of a plan. He felt so close, but where, was not behind him. He couldn't allow himself to be caught, not now.
A taller figure crossed the path. Noa stopped short and tensed his muscles. He had to escape, he had to ...
-Noa, you bastard, when I catch you you'll see what I'll do to you-
An annoyed laugh came from the mouth of his older brother who was still wearing his shirt stained by some viscous liquid resulting from some joke.
-That's if you catch me-
Alan frowned knowing that no matter how fast he ran he would never catch his brother, but admit it, never that.
A guard standing in the way turned to one side, leaving the path clear for the two princes, who resumed their customary weekly chase. Whoever saw the scene would laugh. For their age they were still puppies. Alan was 45 years old but barely looked 25 or 26 in human terms while his brother, 38 and could pass for a teenager. And it was logical, the wolves reached their maturity around 50 years.
Noa turned through several corridors without slowing down. He was a small but agile wolf like few others and although the oldest was not far behind, he lacked the necessary neurons to overcome it.
Maybe they were like this for another hour, they didn't know. They dropped their exhausted, cramped bodies from the intense physical exertion and their flat, hard bellies roaring for a good chunk of food. They were sure they would be scolded by their father for the ruckus inside the pack's main mansion, but they cared just as much. Their father did not pay enough attention to them as to know that they were alive, sometimes he did not remember their names. And Catalina and Nicolás did not escape from that pattern either.
Nicolás was the second brother, after Rodrigo, the alpha's first-born and favorite. He was the calmest of the five and he was always taking care of Cat, his little sister and their love, and although he did not look anything like his father, he had traits in common with them such as chocolate hair, and their two large purplish eyes, when those of the males of the family remained between hazel and green. Even the alpha had suspected her origin but the smell gave away, no matter her physique.
The five of them had a distinctive odor that anyone outside the family would know was blood related. As well as whose mother and father they were children. Now the question of the century and the taboo topic in the pack. Who was the mother? No one knew and his father would cut out the tongue of anyone who dared to mention the subject.
It was only known that Rodrigo was granted for the womb of the late queen, but that story had degraded over time. Now nothing was left about the strange wolf. As if it had never existed. There were rumors that she was alive because all the siblings smelled the same, but the alpha denied over and over again, claiming that they belonged to different mothers, and no one was able to reply.
Noa got up off the floor, adjusting his clothes and held out his hand to Alan.-Let's go back, it's almost lunchtime and we have to change. Father will not like our looks-
-Not that he was so aware of us-
-Alan- he chided, with them the roles were reversed- And you smell horrible, and more so now that you're sweaty-
-What? You like? Do you want a hug? -
He opened his arms but his brother ducked avoiding him and moved away.
-No more games for today, peace between brothers-
-I don't want to hear that from the person who ruined my favorite shirt-
Alan adored the boy no matter how much he did things to him. They were always together in the care of Nicolás. Now the older wolf did not have much time to be with them, he had to make holes in his agenda as a surrogate mother and housewife to attend to them. They did not blame him for anything, it is thanks to him that they stayed within those cold walls.
They walked back when they heard, in the distance, their father's high-pitched cry and a loud bang on the table.
-What did what? -
The brothers knelt in a secluded corner thinking it had been about them. At their distance they could hear everything through his well-developed ear and with Alan's scent it would be impossible for them to be detected. They slowed their breathing to hide their presence. If their father was going to scold or punish them, it was better to know what it would be like.
-Sorry alpha, but apparently she can't keep it inside any longer-
Another person accompanied him. She sounded anguished and fearful.
-I don't care about the method, you can't lose it-
-That could put her life in danger-
They felt footsteps on the floor, their father had gotten up from where he was.
-I pay you very well to keep her alive and giving me puppies to consume her blood when they are adults. Give her medicine, operate her, sew her legs, but the puppy cannot die-
Noa clung to her brother with a slight tremor. That couldn't be. His ears were deceiving him. He knew that his father was cruel, but that exceeded expectations, how was it possible that he would do something like that to someone, even be an enemy.
-At least I could send her to a better place. The dungeons are not the best for her belly and it conditions them ...-
-Shut up. Your job is to treat her as a doctor, I decide where she has to be. And remember- her father's voice lowered so much that it was hard for them to hear- No one can know that the former queen of this pack is alive. Did you understand-
Alan looked at Noa with the same expression of terror. This was getting out of hand. He had mentioned the queen, the only wolf who had led the pack without having alpha genes. The wife of the current leader. If their words were true, everything they had been told was a vile lie.
They both nodded their heads. They had to find out what was going on in that mansion. They walked back cautiously without making noise, if their father found out that they had that information he would surely kill them. They walked away, but before turning to go back to their rooms a hand fell on Alan's shoulder.
-What are you doing here?-Related chapters
Alpha's hostage Don't lie
The cubs swallowed when discovered and a light layer of sweat covered their bodies, but they were reassured by smelling, behind their back, the scent of their older brother. -Nico- Alan turned and showed an uncomfortable grin- We were just taking a walk. We already go back to our rooms to change for dinner- The brown-haired wolf, like them, who wore it in a long braid along his broad back looked down the hallway that led at the end of his father's office. -Did you hear what he said?- He asked with a frown. Noa raised her hands in surrender and doubt. -I don't know what you're talking about- if there was something that Nicolas never did, it was get upset, but poor that he was around when it happened. The older wolf paid attention to them again, his tone of voice dry and serious. -You two. Come with me- There was no reply to his words. The two puppies followed their brother, who after usting them into his room and
Alpha's hostage I want her
*** Alan and Noa were running as fast as their legs would allow. Alan dragged his brother through the forest, dodging the trees with difficulty on the swampy ground after the rain. They had made the worst mistake of their entire life. They had thought that all the brothers were together in this cause, in saving their mother from the clutches of the alpha, but how deluded they had been. The betrayal hurt and more when it was the first time. They had not yet come out of the shock of seeing the condition the former queen was in when returning to her room they had seen her older brother and the first-born of the five. Rodrigo. Like his father he ignored them and if he could humiliate them he did it, so he had been taught. He was so faithful to his father that it was disgusting to see him, but he was still her brother and that woman's son. That night things had gotten out of control, telling the wolf that they knew where their mother was looking for their support
Alpha's hostage A past without a future
The door opened, letting in a faint flash of light that vanished with the same speed. She raised her head with such effort that opening her eyes was quite a feat. The image before her sickened her so much that she felt nauseous even more intense than she had. Its claws began to break through the skin of the fingers as its fangs grew larger. She let out a roar using all his strength to reach the person to rip their throat out. Her body beginning to transform, but the rusty shackles around her wrists and ankles cut off her circulation and skin. Pain ran through his body like fathoms of fire falling to her knees and gasping without strength. A triumphant smile crossed the alpha's lips as he knelt and brushed the dirty hair from the woman's haggard face. -How many times have we repeated this event, my beautiful queen?- He wiped a drop of blood that stained his cheek and then raised her hand and hit it with a dry noise. The woman's head hit the uneven grou
Alpha's hostage More than perfect
Leoxi was reading the letter that had come into his hands. As the alpha's twin brother and Pack Commander, he had more responsibilities than he wanted in his life. His brother had less time than he, so he had no right to complain, even now he knew that he was planning well the blow they would deliver to the gray pack. He ran his hand through his hair, ruffling it. He was somewhat overwhelmed with the new events. What the hell were those wolves thinking of doing that to an omega? And a pure one to conclude. Did they not know that they were as strange as albino wolves. With the ability to reproduce in large numbers, their bodies were tough enough to withstand giving birth three times as many times as a normal wolf, which only obtained its heat every 100 years. What wolf did not want multiple cubs with his wife, was his greatest longing. He read the letter again, concentrating on the most important item on his itinerary. He recognized the handwriting of that wolf prince
Alpha's hostage Betting everything
Years ago Nicolas left Alan and Noa in their respective rooms after spending hours trying to get them to behave like decent puppies. His father had given explicit orders that he did not want anyone inside the mansion that night and, unable to get them out, had confined them to his room before the sun went down. His younger siblings loved to rile him up and have him scold them, drawing his attention at all times. He couldn't deny that they were adorable when they did that and he always ended up smiling and giving them a kiss on the top of the head. He was a tremendous babysitter, in the absence of a mother and almost a father, he was the only person to give them affection. He left the room of the youngest of them and went to his. He was exhausted. Dealing with the problems of his pack, which were overlooked by his older brother, with whom he barely exchanged words, his father and the upbringing of his brothers had brought out more than one gray in his chocolat
Alpha's hostage Just trust
Hades rose to his full height, reverting to his human image. He looked at the five wolves before him and nodded for the leader of these to copy his very action. Nicolas hesitated a bit and transformed more slowly, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. Looking into the eyes of an alpha that was not of the pack was considered a fatal offense and Hades could rip his throat out just thinking about it. -Are the conditions ready? – -Yes alpha, all those who could be evacuated are hidden in a safe place, the former beta of the queen and current commander, awaits orders to start the revolt- -You have thought carefully about all this, maybe you want to be the alpha and you are using me as an excuse to achieve your plans- the growls of the other wolves of the silver pack were heard in the air and the muscles of Nicolas's back tensed , sweating slightly. -I never had the intention of being alpha, I just want my pack to be as normal as anyone, that there is
Alpha's hostage Son's tears
Hades gave a loud gasp. That fight had become intense. Maybe not enough to meet his expectations, but to enough to take the breath away. The gray pack alpha was not weak despite his looks, he was very well trained and his strength was not to be overrated. That did not mean that he had the advantage. He had attacked the neck several times, managing to snatch the chain from it, dropping it on the legs of Nicolas, who now took care of it with his life, although in the process he had earned several wounds on his chest and front legs. Now both of them returned as at the beginning, facing each other showing their fangs covered with bubbling saliva. Nicolas went back to where the beta was, felt the tension in the environment and the pressure made it difficult to breathe. When two male alphas challenged each other, the weaker wolves could feel their power. The fight resumed. Both beasts rolled on the ground until Hades managed to bury his teeth into Rudoc's neck and
Alpha's hostage On the verge of death
Caesar, the head doctor of the silver pack, checked his patient in the painfully furrowed brow as he uttered silent curses from time to time. -How is she? - Hades was keeping a distance somewhat anxious without news for a long time. -Not alpha now, let me finish my work- he blurted out more abruptly than he wanted, discarding his pent-up anger -Please come out- Hades just nodded and left the room to meet the bitter face of Nicolas and Liam who despite the bandages on his body had insisted on being there. He was not bothered by Caesar's tone. The wolf was almost 300 years above him, he had even helped bring him to this world and he knew that for him to react in that way, the situation was beyond his understanding. He groaned internally feeling the rage creeping through his being. He still remembered the feeling of the bones on the woman's skin as he carried her in his arms, her uneven breathing, he had barely seen her face under the mat of dirt

Alpha's hostage Epilogue
-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
Alpha's hostage My mighty omega
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
Alpha's hostage I have something to tell you
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
Alpha's hostage Wounded yes, but alive
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
Alpha's hostage You won't lose me
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
Alpha's hostage Daughter of Ma
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
Alpha's hostage I found you
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
Alpha's hostage Decisions
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
Alpha's hostage I will protect you
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
