~Gale~
It was early morning when I got back in the pack. Instead of heading to the mansion, I ditched the car right outside the village and went into the woods. I should get myself a car, one for personal use. These SUVs were getting tiring to drive around.
This was forbidden grounds. Only the Alpha, the Head Gamma, and I could come here freely until the Red Point Unit was authorized.
Not long after, the building came into view. Its walls fifteen three meters of concrete and steel, the windows barred and set at the top. The high glass ceiling was the only way out, but they were tied down to ensure an escape wouldn’t happen. It’d be too dangerous to let any prisoner out, not for the pack, but for the escapee. The Red Point was
~Anna~I smiled at the children playing on the training grounds and they waved back to me.“I told them not to play around here,” said Alpha Emery. “Children never listen.”“I find that adults are more hard-headed,” I replied, and he chuckled.On a picnic blanket laid down on the soft grass, shaded by overlapped branches of trees, we watched them play catch. Back at the White Lake Pack, children of their age were already placed into training. In the Red Claw Pack, the children were given days to train and a rest day for playing. Here, the children weren’t being trained. They were free to run around all day and play to their heart's content as if they were innocent of the dangers the world held for th
~Flynn~My throat felt dry as I stood outside the door. I put up a wall to get some quiet in my head for the pack wouldn’t stop talking about him. I understood their confusion, concern, and anger, but I needed to think for myself.“How is he?” I asked as the pack healer went out.She smiled softly then replied, “He needs to rest, Alpha. Wherever he was, he wasn’t treated kindly.” Her smile dropped into a frown. She looked like she wanted to ask something but hesitated.“Thank you,” I said before she could ask me a question, I didn’t know the answer to. I felt the bond break then and so did the rest of the pack.“Is he awake?”“He’s asleep. It’s good
~Rigel~Gale should be back at the White Lake Pack by now. I could’ve started earlier but I had to make sure he wasn’t going to come back. It’d ruin the plan. My friend had been waiting for months – what were a few more hours?“Rigel!” shouted Mom from downstairs. “Come have dinner!”I went down and joined her in the kitchen. She already had it ready for me on a hot plate – roasted beef and mashed potatoes. My mouth watered. No one cooked like Mom. I sneaked behind her then gave her a hug.“Thanks, Mom!” I exclaimed then kissed her cheek.She laughed as she put the plate down. “Grow up, will you?”“I am grown,” I replied, motioning to my body. She rolled her eyes and took off her apron.“What are you doing back here? Are you escaping work again?” she questioned with her hand on her hip.I stuffed my mouth with the mashed potatoes. “Mmm… so good, Mom. Your cooking’s t
~Liam~I played with the Head Gamma’s ring on my hand, my thumb rubbing over the center stone, an oval-shaped star ruby. A star-like pattern appeared as the light hit it.He finally did it. I expected it to happen but hoped it wouldn’t since the slight change in him when Anna was around. He cared for her in the same way he cared for Sarina. However, it wouldn’t have been enough to make him do this. It was something else, or more accurately, someone… who meant the world to him – Maya.“He’s going after him,” said Luca.“He’s not our concern now,” I replied. “He’s a rogue.”“Rigel and Rain are our brothers!” he shouted, growling.I drank the last of the bourbon then set the glass down. “If he was really our brother, he wouldn’t cut the bond. Face it, Luca, he hated me for it.”He growled. “It’s suicide! We have to go after him. I’m not losing my brother.”“That was his choice t
~Anna~“Please talk to me,” said Alpha Emery. For the last thirty minutes or so, he’d been begging me to talk to him. Why couldn’t he understand that I didn’t want to talk to anyone, especially him! I pulled the covers up to my neck and didn’t reply. He could keep talking for all I care.“I’m really sorry, Bella,” he repeated. For what – for lying, for kidnapping me, for killing my father? Why did I even stay in the first place? I was free to go. Why didn’t I just up and leave?Why do I keep getting myself stuck in messed-up situations!He sighed. “I’m sorry. I’ll leave you alone.”“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, Bella. I’m sorry couldn’t tell you. How cou
~Anna~My heart skipped a beat as he came closer, stepping into the moonlight coming from the glass wall behind the wide stairs.How did he get in?His eyes fixated on me, a slight pull on the corner of his lips. I opened my mouth to utter his name, but his lips suddenly crashed onto mine as his hand went to the back of my head, and his other arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him. His tongue licked my lips, asking for entrance, and a soft grip on my side made me gasp, giving him what he asked for.My lips parted for him and he plunged his tongue inside, dominating me as he always did. Hungry and urgent, his kiss sparked a fire in me that could only be extinguished by his touch
~Rigel~“You stink,” said Andrix as he covered his nose with a hand. He’d been constantly complaining about my scent that I was entertaining the thought of going ahead of him or using him as bait. The latter sounded more reasonable if I didn’t need him to get in.“Did you take at least take a shower?” he asked, making a gagging sound.I spun around and gave him a death glare. I couldn’t smell myself. I knew going rogue would make me stink, but he didn’t have to rub it in my face! I didn’t need a constant reminder that I was now alone.He put his arms up in surrender and gr
~Gale~“I’m sleepy,” said Jaymer as he let out a loud yawn, the sleeve of his robe pulling back as he brought up a hand in the air. “Why do you need me, again?”I rolled my eyes before answering, “We’re rescuing our brother. We need you, Jaymer.”Waking him up was difficult enough with the additional traps he set this time around that we almost lost one of ours from a blast of fire. Dealing with his attitude was more of a pain. We were almost close to the borders of the Blue Moon Pack and we needed him to focus.“He’s rogue…,” he whined.“He’s still our brother. Now shut up and follow along,” I replied, getting annoyed.For a witch who lived across

A shrill scream cut through the otherwise silent mansion of the Rose family. Liam awoke, startled, and in a speed that the human eye couldn’t follow, he opened Alia’s bedroom door with a bang.The light switched on, illuminating the little girl shaking in her bed. Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill. She breathed harshly, raising her arms to ask for her Daddy’s comfort.Liam’s gaze shifted momentarily to the windows, which were, much to his relief closed, the curtains exactly the way they were when he left her.The boys’ bedroom door opened as Liam stalked to Alia. He raised the girl by her waist and let her down on his lap.“Daddy,” she cried, burying her face in his chest.Liam stroked her hair and gently leaned forward and back. “It’s only a nightmare, baby. Daddy’s here.”“You can put those down,” he said to the boys. Aylan carefully put down the bag of wolfsbane powder.“No bad guys?” asked Amiry.“N
“I’m thinking of adopting,” said Gale as he ran a hand though his hair. “I haven’t talked to Andrix about it yet, but he won’t be averse at the idea, would he?”Rigel calmly drank his glass of bourbon, which was from Liam’s not-so-secret personal collection.“A human kid?” he asked.“No, you fucking dumbass. Do you want the kid to die?” Gale said, scowling.Liam muttered under his breath, something about not having a moment of quiet time for himself as he scanned and signed through a stack of documents. Gray streaks dyed his hair, and lines had begun to show on his face. He had a stubble from having forgotten to shave that morning. It was because of the children jumping up on him before daybreak.Sighing, he signed the last o
~Liam~“AAAHHH!!!” Anna’s screams filled the entire room as our babies pushed their way out. In a few more hours or minutes, we were going to be parents!“AAAHHH!!! Ughm!”I clenched my jaw as she crushed my hands in a death grip. She was sweating profusely, her breathing heavy. Lexy and Helia and nurses were constantly checking on her.I didn’t know what else to do. If I could share the pain with her, I would. The only plan my mind came up with was to talk to her like it would help.“You’re doing great, babe!” I encouraged.I can’t feel my hands.“Breathe… breathe… you’re alright… you’re doing great!”
~Liam~I’d been squeezing a stress ball since morning – Gale’s recommendation. As ridiculous as it looked, it was helping.“Did you hear back from Helia?” I asked as soon as Lexy entered my office.“She’ll be here by tomorrow morning,” she replied, dropping on the sofa like a bag of potatoes. “Are you sure you want to me to handle this, bro? We can ask the humans – they’ve more experience and frankly, I’ve only ever delivered one baby.”We owned hospitals and leaving her in the hands of an expert would maybe lower the risks, but she was a special case.Her blood, her race – if something hocus pocus happened while a human was around, the safest measure would be to kill that human. It would upset her. Then again, she didn’t have to know. Still…“I’m leaving you in charge of preparations,” I said firmly. “If something… starts happening, do whatever you have to save her.”“I want her to make it
~Liam~“Babe, I’m sorry. You told me I can have it.”I ate the last brownie on the fridge and forgot to bake more since I spent the day in the office. For the mean time, I was handling two packs because I didn’t want her to stress herself over pack matters. She was on board with the idea. It gave her more time to read books and nap – she’d been napping at almost after every hour.When she was in the mood for boring paperwork, she’d join me. I enjoyed her company – things finish faster, and her mood would lighten up at the Black Mist Pack’s reports which were usually on their progress on the numerous programs implemented to help stabilize their position.I didn’t get yelled at or pushed away for being
~Rigel~“The little fucker’s asleep.”I grinned in triumph. My carbon copy had been crying for hours, keeping everyone wide awake at twenty minutes past twelve on a Friday night! Sabri was lying in bed, her eyes closed, tired from the sleepless nights and early mornings.I wouldn’t let Mom take care of my kid while I slept. She needed to rest, too, after a long day of feeding the pack.I could train for hours, spar with every warrior willing to get bruises, but holding a kid and dancing him around for hours… every muscle in my arms screamed at me to let them down on my sides. Funny thing was that he didn’t even weigh much.A settled man. None of the guys would’ve expected that I’d be the first one. My bachelor days were over, and yet despite the added responsibilities, I was… happier?I had a beautiful queen in bed, and a little prince in my arms. What more could I ask for?Mom was ov
~Anna~“You look so beautiful, Anna,” said Lexy, dabbing at her eyes.“Thank you, Lexy… for everything,” I said and gave her a tight hug.“Won’t you at least tell me what happens after? I heard Aunty J stressing over the menu for tonight.”I didn’t know how the ceremony would proceed, and they’d been keeping their mouths sealed.“Well… we, your loyal subjects, enjoy a night of feasting and drinking and some alone time with our mates…”I sniggered, surprised that she could be so bold when it came to Carson.“… while you and bro copulate somewhere else.”Oh, Goddess…
