Claire’s Pov.I stood in sheer shock as I walked into his room. Aiden lay in his bed with the sheets wrapped to his neck, shivering and mumbling words I couldn’t understand. This was the first time I had seen him in bed till this time of the day.“I’ve been knocking for a while,” I said as I walked to the bed, dropping to his side. He moaned as I touched him, groaning in pain as I turned him to face him. His body burned with a fever, making me step back to monitor the situation. “Seen Alpha Farrell this morning?” He asked, wrapping the sheets tighter around his body.“I’m pretty sure I have seen no one since I got inside the house. Eerily quiet that I’d consider it a ghost house,” I answered him as I got closer to him. “You don’t look so well.”“I’m fine. I just need to get up from this bed and I’d be up and moving,” he said as he struggled to put his hands over the sheet, moaning from the pain just to turn around. Beads of sweat formed on his head from that little action and it tol
Melissa’s (Gabriella’s Pov) “How are the boys?” I raised my head to see Alpha Farrell with a coffee in his hand. I could feel the urge to have coffee rise again in my stomach from the reaction he built inside me.“They are doing well,” I said as I packed the pieces of paper on the couch, arranging them properly before I filled them.He nodded as he took a sip, moving around the living room like he had a specific thought in his head that he wanted to speak about, but could not. “Anything the matter?” I asked as I tried to clear the air.“It’s nothing, just feels weird,” he said as he took another sip, dropping the coffee on the table next to the chair he sat on.That was weird; him feeling weird was one thing out of the charts. “What’s the matter?” I asked as I dropped the filed papers on the couch before me, walking to meet him.“Have you seen Aiden this morning? I heard his sister’s voice,” he said, completely avoiding my question.That was an answer I never had, as I hadn’t seen A
Alpha Farrell’s Pov“This is bad,” I muttered to myself as I had spent my day here on the sick bed with Aiden. He wasn’t getting any better as he wrapped himself in a thick blanket. I doubted any air would get to him.A knock sounded on the door, jolting me from my thoughts as a man of mine stood at the door bearing the nightshade emblem.“What’s the matter?” I asked as I turned towards him, slightly angered that he disturbed me at the hour and would love to take his head if he did not give me a suitable response. “The doctor is here,” he said as he opened the door wider, ushering the doctor into the room. It was a different doctor this time, as our doctor seemed caught up in some issues. This was the first time this was happening. I let out a little curse word, promising myself to get back to him when everything was over.The doctor that appeared this time was lighter, with dark curly hair like mine, but with gray eyes. It felt like a bottomless pit as he stared at my beta.“You ne
Alfredo’s POV“I would not get a kiss before you leave?”I turned to see Sheila standing behind me. She wore a lacy dress that made her look like a goddess, sending sparkles around the room. “If you never got a kiss. Who do you think would moisten mine?” I asked as I walked next to her. Six months had run past like a smoke in the wind.She smiled as she walked next to me, wrapping her hands around my neck. It was a wonder we had no kids running around our house with the time we had spent around each other. “Well, these lips are waiting for yours,” she said as she lowered her head, dropping it on my lips so that it aroused me.My hands wrapped around her waist at that moment, pulling her closer to me as she sucked the air out of me. Our tongues wrapping and unwrapping in our mouths. Her nipples poked at me, urging me to do something to them. She moaned as my hands found their way through the spaces of her gown, stretching towards her breast.“I thought you were leaving for a meeting
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “I guess it’s time to leave,” Aiden said as I walked into his room. A jacket over a white shirt was my pick for the day. The suit would be worn better when we got to Stormhold pack by the morrow.“You refuse to get better and leave me no choice but to leave your sick ass behind,” I said as I sat next to his bed. I knew his sister would be here any moment and there was no need for me to waste any more time than I had to spend.He let out a chuckle as he pushed himself to a sitting position.“I know what you want to warn me about,” I said. My expression turning grim at the thought of what lay ahead.He sighed, raising his head to look at the ceiling. “It would have been me with you. This isn’t something that she can waltz in and out like it was some playground.”“Let’s hope for her sake there is no squabble or argument that could lead to one,” I said as I stood from his bed, tapping his hand as I did so. “I’m taking Frin with me to act as a driver and also a failsaf
Alpha Alfredo’s Pov I stepped out of the car as I stood in front of the castle, letting out a deep breath.“We are here now, aren’t we?” Dex asked as I placed my hand on my tie, setting it properly. Sarah came next to me with a tablet in her hand as she did at home.“What do we do next?” She asked as she shut down the screen, placing the lab on her chest. She went with the formal looks, a black skirt and dark high heels I could consider a weapon just in case a fight broke out as the heels were made of refined silver. A stab to the heart from the point of the heel was instant death.I looked at the castle once more. It was the only place we could head to, as every sign pointed in this direction. It seemed the three packs that organized this place a lot of planning into it. This meant two things which included the success of a well-organized meeting or the success of an organized assassination.“I hope we don’t end up as the only targets here,” I said as I took a step forward. If the a
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “This is one hell of a castle,” I said as I stepped out of the car with Frin holding out the door for me.“Are you sure I can’t follow you inside?” He asked as he stood, looking at the castle as I buttoned my suit. I had to change inside the car so as not to look too informal.“The rules on the invitation stated that only two persons can be in attendance and you know why she is here,” I said as I nudged my head towards Gabriella as she stepped out of the car.He nodded as he returned his gaze to the castle. Red and blue flags adorned the street with two crossed swords behind a wolf's head and a hurricane under.“But you know this could be a trap?” He asked as he helped me clean the top of my shoulders, standing behind me like the soldier he was.“All your thoughts have been placed into consideration and that is the reason you are standing here with me,” I said as I opened my hand, checking for anything out of the ordinary.He looked at me as if he didn’t understan
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov)“This is not the meeting I had in mind,” Lyra said as she could feel his presence. I was agitated as much as she was, unable to look at his face in fear that he could remember me if he hadn’t done that already.I could feel Alpha Farrell’s hand wrapped around my waist, walking in a way that I hid my face by his shoulder until we sat at the table before us. The Alphas talked amongst themselves.“This is bad,” I muttered to myself with the front view seat we had taken to view the face I hated the most. “Why couldn’t we have taken the seat next to alpha Drakken,” I thought, looking around to avoid eye contact with Alfredo.“Now that we’ve had our seats. I would like us to introduce ourselves to each other, and let us know what pack it is, even as we may know some of us. We do not know the others,” Alpha Drakken said as he raised his hand, standing to his feet. “I’ll begin, and we’ll take this counter-wise. As you already know. I brought about the idea for this m
Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment
Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c
Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s
Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out
Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this
Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q
Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
