Chapter 96

Unknown POV

The gates creaked open as Asher drove off. It was barely dawn and the faster he gets this done, the better.

He needed to form alliances and as much as packs always have rivals, no pack will be stupid enough to fight against Night Reapers.

Begrudgingly, Asher admitted that Axel had built up quite the reputation in the years of being Alpha.

Some feared him, others respected him.

So, if he was looking for alliances, then he would only find it amongst werewolves who are too foolish or simply too courageous to entertain fear.

The rogues.

Asher parked his car at a secluded corner, the green blending well with the expanse of looming trees and knee high grasses. He began the short trek.

His private investigator had flagged this region as suspicious. There were truckloads of food and building supplies parking at this exact area every last Saturday of the month and when the

After the incident with Asher, he had lingered long by my side. I sighed, my smile vanishing as I recalled the incident. "Asher's different", I frowned, searching for a better word. "He is spiteful and I am certain he'll try to do something...stupid."Axel nodded. "I know.""You do?""I've known Asher for years now. He is capable of anything and knowing that we were fooling around right under his nose...", he shook his head as though the thought didn't settle well. "He'll do something stupid to show his superiority."I raised a brow, watching his calm expression. "Aren't you worried? Because I am. He may try to hurt Orion or Zephyr and if anything happens to them...""No", Axel stated firmly. "He's stupid but not that stupid. He won't try to harm the kids, I'm c

There must be something you need. Come on, spill."Elsa and stepmother exchanged a confused look. "Don't be silly. Our only worry concerns your health", she sighed, quite dramatically if I may add. "When we heard you ran away, all of us were completely shattered and heartbroken.""Okay...", I let out. "And I'm so sorry for everything I did to you, Selena", Elsa piped in. "I was a terrible sister but now, you can count on me. I'll visit you every single day and we'll be able to mend our relationship as a family."All of them agreed in unison. "We visited

But I think the kids miss me more, right?", he chuckled into my hair.After spending three years with him, I had grown more attached than I expected, hence the reason I'm currently dangling on his body like a monkey while Axel glared at a corner. "I don't think your mate appreciates you hogging me like some tree branch", he whispered in my hair. Reluctantly, I let him go, smirking at Axel's down turned lips. "The kids are asleep and I could've sworn Zephyr grew an inch every day."The growth patterns of werewolves are a bit different than the normal. Instead of nine months in my stomach, they stay for up to eleven months or a whole year. After turning two, they experience the greatest part of their growth spurt and then

There was no way, right? I didn't really hold my stepparents in high regard, but the stab of an emotion very similar to betrayal stabbed deep. Axel sighs but remains silent as he regards me. "Turns out...", I began, Axel's attention pinned on me. "...Blake is Lily's mate", a small smile appeared on my lips. I'm happy for Lily. There were times when I feared she might never meet her mate or someone to see just how amazing she is. "I never knew that", he frowns. "Yes. It happened just before I ran off", I shrugged. "They've been taking care of the kids together for such a long time and they didn't even make one physical contact?", I chuckled. "It baffles me."Axel threw me a sympathetic and knowing loo

    Chapter 101Selena's POV "I can't believe we're actually doing this."We were in front of a looming mansion, specifically, the mansion I grew up in. Reynold and I looked up at it, varying expressions of dread on my face and curiosity in Reynold's. Axel was busy on a phone call, his brows furrowed as he listed off orders to whoever was on the other end. "All good?", I questioned when he came to stand by my side."Yes. I just needed to take care of a few things", he waved off my concerns. "Are you ready?""Can I truly be ready?", I asked rhetorically. From the shock on their faces, I knew they believed we were the last people they were expecting. Stepmother was gazing into the mirror, observing her face closely in case she catches wind of a wrinkle. Elsa was busy filing her nails, airpods in her ear and her legs propped against a glass table, the same one I wipe almost everyday.

This was going smoothly. "They never asked you to adopt me, did they?", I narrowed my eyes, paying careful attention to them. My stepmother's eye twitched before she shook her head. "They asked us to take care of you. Adoption is unavoidable.""Wrong. Try again", I smirked. "That's the truth", she folded her arms. I glanced at Axel, before facing her again. "We need to make this conversation as smooth sailing as possible, don't you agree?"My only answer was a sneer but I continued. "Now. I'll give you three strikes. But you've used up the first. So, you have two left", I held up two fingers for emphasis. "After you've used all your strikes, I can't be held responsible for what will happen. G

    Chapter 103Selena's POV "What do you want to do?", the question Axel had asked rang continuously in my head. I was still indecisive. As much as I knew that my parents were killed by them, hurting my stepparents in return would never bring them back. And maybe some part of me wanted to believe that I had a good part in me, one that could actually forgive. Except, I couldn't. Over the past week, I had been too occupied with thoughts of my dead parents and stepparents that the important things, like Orion and Zephyr and Lily suddenly finding her mate was at the very back of my mind. After Lily had stormed off upset, the opportunity never presented itself for a one on one talk. And I felt like a terrible friend. Which was the reason why I'm currently searching the pack house for her. So far, I'd asked at least ten servants about Lily's whereabouts but none seemed to know.

    Chapter 104Selena's POV There were five guards, Axel, Reynold and I marching towards the mansion. Reynold clutched the land documents, a bounce to his step. "You're certain about this?", Axel asked again. He was probably not ready to put me in a state of confusion especially after my sudden decision to lock them up. "Yes. Positive."The house was empty when we arrived, save for my stepsister. Elsa was sitting alone at a corner, her head bowed as she looked at a particular spot, unmoving. "They're not here", a guard reported. Axel crouched in front of a sniffing Elsa. "Where are your parents?", he asked simply. I was certain Elsa wouldn't answer but in less than a heartbeat, she looked up at Axel. "They left", she began. "Five minutes ago. They were headed to the train station and if you hurry, you'll meet them."Reynold threw me a confused look. "How can we be certain she's te

    Chapter 140 Axel's POV I walked out of the pack house and into the expanse of land now littered with my pack members. They were in little groups, talking amongst themselves in hushed whispers. When they noticed my presence, they immediately fell silent, looking up at me with expectant faces. The last time I stood before them, we were on the verge of making the most important decision of the pack. I've never felt so much appreciation for that day than at this point. More and more werewolves gathered and I leapt onto the elevated stage, facing them. "Night Reapers, it has come to my notice that the pack, Blood Red, has fallen." The whispers rose once more and with a lift of my hand, they were silenced. "You've seen the commotion outside the gates. Those are from the survivors of the pack. They've come to us for help", I paused, surprised that no one said a word. "Now, I bring the decision to your table. What do we do?" The question spurred them into action, some yelled that

    Chapter 139 Selena's POV It took two months and five days before we heard any news about the packs. Technically, we heard news of progression and the added advantages the alliance offered to those packs, virtually every Alpha was involved except ours. As far as I was concerned, we were officially cut off. The strategy put in place by Axel worked. We had food, water and basically everything we needed within the pack. It made things considerably easier. No one complained and as days passed, more werewolves came forward as volunteers. Soon, we extended our little plan in agriculture to other aspects, like furniture making, fabric design and then, no distant time I was setting we were making waves. Orion and Zephyr were growing up quickly. Werewolves always had a weird aging style. We grow up quickly, then remain almost dormant before we begin aging slowly. Lily's presence was difficult to come by. She was mostly invested in Blake and I'd be honest when I say that their relati

Today was the day we were expecting the Alphas and to say the atmosphere was more than tense was an understatement. Axel had come clean to the pack, revealing the details of the visit to every member. He also told them about his decision and gave everyone the chance to either counter his decision or agree with him.Most of them agreed, the few that thought it was reckless were soon convinced that Axel was making the right choice. He gave them his reasons. Then, the topic of how we were going to generate incomes for ourselves even after we cut ourselves off from the other packs arose and Axel gave them the stellar idea on agriculture. The farmers came forward, pledging to give their all while some volunteered to help. By the time dawn broke, we were prepared. As prepared as we could be. "You ready?"

It was a miracle it hadn't leaped out of his hand and to an unlucky person's face. "Can you let it go, honey?", I coaxed. Orion stared at me with a sad look. "But why?", he whined. "It can be my pet."Except, werewolves don't keep pets. Our wolves were like pets, but on a way deeper level. It was part of us. "No. It can't."We were in a staring contest for at least thirty seconds before he finally gave in. "Whatever", he tossed the frog aside and it landed right on Lily's lap. Before I could react, Lily let out a loud scream. It echoed throughout the clearing and was just about to tear my sensitive eardrums.

    Chapter 136Selena's POV For the next few days, we ignored everything. Axel and I focused on nothing else but ourselves and the kids. We had a family day out, of course Blake and Lily decided to tag along and we held a little picnic just for ourselves. Truth was, it was inevitable that Axel would have to give his reply concerning the alliance bug for now, it felt much better to simply live in our own bubble. Orion and Zephyr were bickering on the color of the sky while I lay on the blanket, my eyes shut as I basked in the warm sun. "I can't believe you", Lily was speaking, throwing a punch at Blake. I could tell when he muttered a low 'ouch'."It's serious though", Blake was trying to say. I had tuned out of most of the conversation and the one I had managed to catch snippets of didn't make any sense. I pried my eyelids open, scanning for Axel as he had been awfully quiet. His back was turned to

    Chapter 135 Selena's POV "What?", I echoed, the sound loud enough that it bounced off all the walls. "An alliance?" Axel expected my reaction as he barely even reacted to my shrill. I'm certain I had alerted at least half of the staff members. "I thought so too", Axel stated blandly. I rifled through my head, searching for anything that made sense. An alliance between werewolves is nearly impossible, if not completely. That's the reason why it didn't happen, ever. It was way too risky and if not careful could cause war between packs. If Alpha Boris was proposing an alliance and the rest of the Alphas agreed with him, he was either very stupid or desperate. But, what for? "An alliance is...impossible." "I thought so too", he echoed, and I threw him a glare. "Are you even listening?", I asked. "Yes." But I co

Their eyes scanned the crowd for a few seconds before they resumed their walk, soon standing in front of Axel and I.If Axel felt nervous, he didn't show it. His face was set in a stiff position as he watched them in return."What a pleasant surprise", he stated, his voice anything but pleasant or surprised. One of the Alphas chuckled, his eyes twinkling in amusement. "Thank you, Alpha Axel", he bowed, a motion which can barely be considered a bow but sufficient enough to pass as one. "What brings you here?", Axel asked, his brows creased as he stared at them all. "I wasn't aware of your visit.""And yet...", the werewolf gestured around him. "There's an entire group waiting.""Information tends to reach us quickly."The werewolf seemed more amused than offended as

I was just being silly. Before Blake could answer, we heard the shuffling of feet outside the door but the thing is, there was more to it than just the occasional movement. They seemed more than panicked. Lily, Blake and I exchanged confused looks before we hopped up, rushing towards the door. My mind drifted to the kids first, knowing Axel would be able to take care of himself. "What's happening?"Blake asked a maid rushing away but she seemed to be too much in her panicked state to realize who was

And I hope you'll suffer for as long as possible for the penance of your wickedness.
