~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
~Anna~My ears rang as I regained consciousness, the sharp piercing sound splitting my head into two. My body felt sore and weak and heavy as I pushed myself off the ground. Screams sounded around me, a low echo amidst the ringing. And where the mansion had once been, a great fire that reached the heavens. The van burned, too, a blazing yellow and orange eating its interior.Father.I swayed to the sides when I stood, thoughts of his death consuming my mind.Father. Beta David. The Delta Unit.My legs like lead as I dragged my feet into the burning structure, warmth creeping down my cheeks. It couldn’t be. This had to be a nightmare – a very surreal nightma
~Liam~A silent groan escaped me as I blinked my eyes open. Moving my arms, I felt a sting around my wrists.“About time,” said Gale.Gale?I raised my aching head to see that my wrists were bound in silver chains. Gale was to the wall on my left in the same position. He tipped his jaw forward.To my right was Rigel, in exactly the same position as us.“You stink,” I commented.The stale air was filled with his repulsive scent. It didn’t help that my nose was sensitive.“Fuck you, Liam,” he spat, his head down.“Hey, Alpha,” said another voice.I looked down and saw the prisoner on the concrete floor, on his knees. Chains bound his arms to his back and his ankles were cuffed, connected to chains that were held securely to the same wall as I, just below me.“Now that you’re awake, how about figuring out a way to get us out of here?”I knew I smelt something famil
~Anna~In the early hours of morning, the car came to a stop. I had slept for a few hours, having been taken over by exhaustion and the adrenaline cooling down my system. I hadn’t met the warriors of the Red Claw Pack before, except for the Delta Unit.They weren’t bothered by Carson. In fact, he blended right in with them as if he belonged. The remaining members of the Delta Unit were quick to act.Apparently, the warriors were divided into teams, based on their positions and assigned duties, and under each bracket was an assigned leader. The patrols, the spies, medic, combatants, and as an addition, a special unit to rescue the Alpha, the Beta, and the Head Gamma.We were in a pinch. If Rigel was here, he’d say, “We
~Liam~Salina, along with Carson and the Delta Unit went to save the kid. They went to the left-wing and the rest of us, to the right-wing. The place was built like a castle, and surprisingly, there weren’t too many guards.Gale guarding our backs, with my girl on the right and the couple on my left, we made our way through the halls, then up the stairs.I was channeling Luca’s energy to sharpen my senses. I wasn’t taking any chances. My mate, my brothers, and my sister-in-law were all here.Walking through a wide hallway, the thick wooden double doors, reinforced with iron, ahead was the “safe room”. Scanning the top of the door to the bottom, it was either a trap or what Salina claimed it to be. There were no cameras in the corners of the walls.And yet, as if they knew we were present, the doors cracked slightly open and four young men stepped out. Each wore combat uniforms that were
~Anna~He should understand me out of everyone here! I lost everyone I loved because of the man behind those doors – it was proper that he pay for what he did. Even the Goddess would judge it to be just.The gun cool in my hand, and heavy; I positioned myself beside Nalia. Carson was beside Ethan. The rest had no other choice. Liam stood beside me, and the group divided between two sides.Nodding to Ethan, he and Nalia pushed open the doors. Quickly, they entered with their guns aimed. From where I was, I could see Ethan scanning the right side. I was about to follow when Liam squeezed my hand.“Wha-“I was interrupted by the ringing gunshots that shot through the entrance. Bullets pierced through the wooden door.Liam pulled me back into the safety of the concrete wall before I was full of holes.Ethan!I looked to where he was and saw him sprawled on the
~Flynn~I sighed. “Father, please take your meds.”He turned on his side with his back to me. After what happened in the Blue Moon Pack, I told him everything, and he hadn’t talked to me since.His wolf had weakened. He was dying, but he refused to take his medicines and he wouldn’t eat.The pack healer said he could die at any moment. It wasn’t helping that he was being stubborn. He even refused to look at me now. This must be what Anna felt like all those years. I was paying for what I did to her.“Father, if you take your meds, I’ll give the Red Claw Pack a call and ask for Anna.”I could tell he was thinking about it. The last time he spoke to a person was when Anna came to visit him. She left teary-eyed, and I didn’t dare ask her what they talked about. Hopefully, she at least forgave my father for hiding the truth from her.When they found out that Myron lied, they
~Anna~Liam squeezed my hand. I leaned into his chest and he hugged me to him. Beside me was Carson, and in the seats opposite us, Gale and Sabri. We were in the lobby, waiting for Lexy or any of her staff to inform us of the result of the operation.When I passed out, so did Rigel. The wound had closed, and he expelled the poison, but how he was still alive with a silver bullet inside him, was a mystery.In a way, my own gift scared me. If word about it spread, the pack might make more enemies than before and would suffer more attacks.Liam told me he had to keep it a secret even from the pack, so when Rigel’s wound closed, they somehow made it appear like I only expelled the wolfsbane.

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…
