Sheila’s POVI knew what the headlines on the news stations would be as I woke up. Sounds from the television blared through the pathways as I made my way to the living room.“Good morning.” A familiar voice called to me as I stepped into the living room. She sat on the middle couch. More like a favorite for her since Alfredo took over as Alpha."Good morning," I replied and took a seat next to her.“Mind a cup of coffee?” She asked, throwing me a smile that begged not to be refused. There was no point refusing as they were two cups on the table waiting for whomever she offered them to.Traces of white hair now dotted her hair, giving her another aesthetic of beauty to her added age that I could not refute. She was pretty now, and must have been way prettier in her youthful days, I admitted.“Yes,” I said, taking a cup of coffee from the saucer she placed it on.“I know you like sugar. I added as much as could comfortably sit in a cup of coffee,” she said, smiling with her eyes disapp
Alfredo’s Pov News from the front lines sounded better. Alpha Brian was at an all-time high as he boasted about how easy it was for him to rip through the patrol he had encountered on the first day.I laughed at the thought of it. That was exactly the plan. First, he sneaked into place, killing as many patrols as they could until they were in the territory proper.We had agreed with what Claire chose, sending more than half of my men with Alpha Brian while some remained at my home just in case Alpha Farrell had other thoughts.My face was also necessary for him to think all of us were present in that position, as multiple breaches would mean there was a rat, and that was not what we wanted.“Aren’t you joining the battle?” Mr Peter said as he moved into my tent. He was the only elder present because some were either too old or the younger ones were already on the battlefield, aiming to create a name for themselves.“I will join you soon,” I said as I pushed myself to my feet. The sm
Alpha Brian’s POV“Never thought you would want to join in a battle of these sorts,” I said to Peter as Alfredo walked away with his Beta. Claire had let us know what we had to do with us closing on Alpha Farrell in a pincer. I attacked from the front while Alfredo took over the pack from behind, sticking from the back of our opponent and leaving them no chance to escape, but here I was, sitting with another graying man.“We either go in a blaze of glory or we live long enough to see the need to go in a blaze of glory,” Peter said, pulling out a cigar from God knows where.He stooped to my fire, picking a lump of red coal to his mouth. A red glow spurned from the butt of his cigar, pouring out white fume.“It does not matter what the reasons are. We do everything for our pack,” I said, grabbing another part of the roast chicken. Much of home food seemed to be the reason I’ve softened to the men. I could feel it within myself.“The pack does matter when it is the overall. In individu
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “We have intel about the attackers,” Aiden said as he walked towards me, holding a tablet in his hands. His hands continued their work, typing things I could not see.The enemies, we knew them already. It would not be a different person.“Alpha Brian is the one leading the charge,” Aiden said as he raised his head to look at me.I could feel Ora’s indignation even before he spoke. “Let’s go to end this fight before it gets worse.”It was going to get worse for the enemies, but I had promised myself something and I wanted to keep to that promise. “We would try to face him in the fight and end all of this as peacefully as we can.”“I don’t think he'll want to do the same,” Aiden said. “He inherited the hatred from Alfredo, and we know the type of person alpha Brian is,” he pointed out.He was right in some kind of way. We kept tabs of every Alpha in the six known packs of our werewolf community, and his name stood out. Although not as my predecessors. His coming i
Alpha Farrell’s Pov.“Do it,” alpha Brian said, flashing me a grin with teeth stained with blood.I closed my eyes for a second, reminiscing about the things I had said. “I will never be like my father or his father before him,” I said, opening my eyes to the man kneeling in front of me.“What is your option now, alpha? You only have the option of killing me.”“No. I have others,” I said, knocking him senseless with a huge knockout blow to the side of his head. He dropped like a sack of rice to the ground. “It is enough!”My scream rang through the forest as I raised the fallen alpha to the air. Members of the opposition fighting stopped, seeing their leader in that state, starting from the ones closer to me.“Your alpha is defeated,” I said as I moved towards the site where the fighting was heaviest, watching the opposition kneel when they saw their alpha in that state.It was enough for me; I thought as I walked the length of the battlefield. My men's chants rose into the sky with v
Claire’s PovI held my hand to my forehead as I paced the room. It was obvious as I turned on the television. Every report was on the ongoing war with Lockhart pack. Alpha Brian had promised us a victory, assured us with the strength of his pack, but it looked like they were on the losing end.Alpha Farrell had taken the opportunity, moving towards his pack after destroying him and his men first, tearing through him like someone would tear through paper.“Calm down,” Anya said, as she noticed I was hyperventilating.“How do you expect me to calm down when everything we planned is going down the drain?” I retorted as I pointed to the television. "Every fucking thing!"The war was over like the supposed combined might of Lockhart pack and Silver rose never existed.There was no way she was going to remain one day in this pack. I blew hot as I picked up my phone, setting it to privacy mode before dialing the only number on the phone.“What’s happening? This is not what we intended,” my v
Alfredo’s PovA scream woke me up in the morning. I was up on my feet, readying against any attack. It was more than enough that I was losing a war in barely a week, losing almost half of my men to Nightshade pack.Sheila was up also, a frightened look on her face. With my finger on my lips, I gestured for her to keep quiet while I made my way to the front of the house.Some of my men had returned, but my mother stood in front of them. She was the one that had screamed.My gaze went to the cause of her scream as I knew she’d not scream for nothing. It stood in front of me. Like a warning, a threat, and yet, none of my plans yet accomplished. Mr Peter’s head was on a stake, held in the arms of a forbearer.It took me nothing to walk up to him; the bearer of bad news. He was on his knees with my claws pointing up into his face while I held on to the stake hoisting Mr. Peter’s head. I let go of the messenger, letting him gurgle and choke on his blood.“Go home,” I said to the remaining m
Melissa’s POVI sat down in the living room listening to the good news and more updates about the war. The joy in my heart knew no bounds and I've never felt more at peace like I do right now.My phone rang, and I glanced over to see it was from an unknown caller. Not many people have my phone number, and the few who did, I have their contacts saved."Hello?" I answered gingerly."Hey babe," I heard the familiar voice I hadn't heard in a long time."Alfredo?" I asked in disbelief."Yes baby, missed me?" He asked smugly.I hissed. "Shouldn't you be hiding your head in shame, you lost, remember?" I mocked. "You just got humiliated, and still have the guts to call me? How shameless can you be?"Alfredo chuckled darkly. "I may have lost the battle, but I definitely won the war.""You're delusional, Alfredo," I told him. "A little piece of advice, run and never look back," I said flatly and ended the call.The phone rang again in less than two seconds.I sighed and shook my head before de
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
