"Are you okay?" Onyx inquired as soon as Gwen sauntered into her room.Gwen shook her head, moving toward Onyx who was settling on her bed, flipping through pages of a book. Gwen crouched on the mattress.Onyx glowered at the she-wolf's pessimistic mood. "What's going on?""A lot is going on, Onyx. First I had an encounter with Oswald, then Odessa who impeached me for stealing her mate, we had a fight and then I met Seth and he said he won't claim me until I've sorted out my feelings," Gwen responded, keeping her head downcast.Onyx's frown deepened. "Sort out your feelings, did something happen?"Gwen bobbed. She opened her mouth to speak but shut it, feeling a little ashamed, she was thinking about another man when her mate was around. She felt like she was cheating. "I-I met this guy, Logan. He's extremely handsome and caring toward me since I got here an-d-" she paused, not knowing how to continue the word."You nurtured feelings for him?" Onyx completed and Gwen nodded."I think
Syrin has been poisoned!His face was white as snow, and his lips were purple, slowly losing their color. Gwen deliberately took hold of his hand, twitching at how frigid it was. "I'm fine," Syrin took a sharp intake of breath, letting out a dry cough and a clod of blood, spitting it out on the floor."You are not fine," Gwen whispered, looking over at her parents who mirrored the same expression of worry. "What are we going to do?""May I see, I know a few things about poisons" Luna Yaletha stepped forward, slowly taking hold of Syrin's hand, gawking at the black vein on his wrist that stretched up to his arm. She stared at it closely, instantly recognizing the dark magic as she trailed her finger on the black vein. "This is done by a witch," She disclosed and everyone gasped. "A powerful one that knows the essence of dark magic,""How can you be so sure?" Alpha Lannis grilled unsurely. They knew nothing about witches and he didn't know how a witch was able to poison his son. It took
In outrage, she hurled the tonic bottle on the table to the floor. She nattily whirled her gaze over to Oswald who was eating from a bowl of soup, without care as his mother threw a fit."Syrin is still alive?" The words passed her lips and they were obnoxious, she almost bit off her tongue."Hmmm," Oswald retorted without looking up at his mother, savoring his soup and humming at how delicious it tasted. "This is really good, Mother. I might come back soon to have some," He beamed, fueling the enthusiasm in her chest as she stormed over to him and snatched his bowl of soup, and crashed it on the floor. Oswald felt his heart plunge and he looked up at his mother with a shrieking pout. "Mother!"Yarkona scowled. "We have bigger problems than your stupid soup!"The pout on Oswald's face remained and he struck the spoon into his mouth and sucked on it and crossed his arms over his chest and threw his face away childishly."Like seriously Oswald!?" She clamored.Oswald sighed and removed
Syrin survived!The more he thought about it, the more lividity billowed in his being and he felt like exploding as his hand grasped the hand of his throne tightly till he felt it nearly crack at his mighty grip. He knew he shouldn't have trusted that bitch. She failed him once and she had failed him again but this time, the blow hit hard, his last tiniest bit of patience finally running out as he gawked at the witch standing at the front of his alter. "Do you have a death wish?" The question passed his lips, holding everything in him wishing to gallop off his throne and rip her to shreds. "How dare you show yourself to me?""Because I came with a new plan," Yarkona asserted and in a flash, Alpha Vaughan was before her, his fingers wrapped around her neck and her back being slammed on the wall."You do have a death wish, I can make it come true," The Alpha's eyes were as malignant as his words. They pierced through her skull while his grip pulled taut around her neck, cutting off her
(A Year & Few Months Later)"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GUINEVERE!!!"Gwen shrieked as a weight fell on top of her. Her eyes snap open and her mind regained consciousness instantly and she nudged Phoebe off her to the other side of the bed and threw the covers over her head but it was soon yanked off and Gwen grunted in displeasure, wanting more of her beauty sleep."Phoebe, go away. I need sleep!" She grumbled while the other she-wolf clambered on top of her."You are twenty today, why are you still in bed? It's time to celebrate!" Phoebe clamored, toying with Gwen's red hair till she was once again shoved off."We are not celebrating, Phoebe, and go away. My beauty sleep is vital. Go disturb Roxanne, it's her birthday too,"Roxanne was Syrin's mate, they met a few months ago and had kicked off. Though she and Gwen were not the same age, their birthdays fell on the same date."Roxanne has her mate, you don't have anymore except me," "I have a mate, Phoebe," Phoebe rolled her eyes. "One you ha
The journey to Black Fur Pack was one Gwen looked forward to. It had been more than a year since she saw those she left behind and excitement spurted at the thought of seeing them again.They reached Black Fur Pack at sunset. Gwen leaped in enthusiasm and ambled into the massive pack house, instantly spotting Onyx among others and darted straight into her arms, nearly sending both of them flying into the couch behind them."Onyx!" Gwen clamored.Onyx snickered, flicking her forehead. "Ain't you twenty now, Soldier. Happy birthday,""Thank you, I missed you so much," When the excitement died, Gwen finally acknowledged the others in the luxurious living room. Luna Yaletha beamed at her. "We heard it's your birthday today. We prepared a little party for you since you couldn't celebrate back in your pack,""That's not necessary but thank you, Luna Yaletha," Gwen returned the smile with a little duck of her head."Call me aunt, you would have become part of our family if you and Oswald h
"Seth," She gulped after the name departed her lips.Seth stood there, wearing only tight black jeans and leaving his upper body bare for eyes to feed and letting it drip with sweat. Gwen noticed his hair had gotten longer, the tips were brushing on his shoulders, and strands of hair on his forehead, and she could now finally make out the tattoos and know where they ended or were located. She noticed his toned stomach, and his abs that made her hands itchy to gild her palm down and feel them as she pleased, but she held back her urge and stayed gazing into his eyes that somehow reflected the night over her head.And finally, she noticed his scent. It hit her hard and made her insides pool with warmth and desire. His arousal was so thick and Gwen also felt herself leaking. She nearly clenched her legs. "Are you really going through a rut?" she tested the words and realized how absurd they were. Seth wasn't an Alpha, how could he be going through a rut?Seth took a quick breath and Gwe
Waking up in Seth's arms like this felt right and Gwen felt exhilarated as she snuggled closer in his arms, however, the grumbling sound of his stomach reminded her of the hunger she had been suppressing. With a sigh, she tore herself from his arm without waking him up.Gwen grimaced as soon as she stood on her feet, grunting at the ache on her joins. She sauntered over to Seth's wardrobe and got herself a shirt that fell to her lower thigh.Inhaling the scent, she unhurriedly walked out of the bedroom and entered the living soon after, and dragged her legs to the kitchen. Gwen grabbed herself an apple, sat on the stool beside the counter, and happily ate. However, she froze at the fourth bite at the sound of the front door opening. Gwen stood up and headed towards the front door but halted at the familiar face staring back at her with shock. Tatiana gaped widely, scanning Gwen over. "Y-you-,"Gwen tilted her head. Equally scanning Tatiana over. The last time she saw her was in the a

Odessa let out a content sigh as she looked down at the dazzling pack on a high cliff. A smile graced her lips at how tiny it was from up here. It had been years yet it felt like days. Days since she and Gwen lost their first home, days since they started a new journey in Black Fur Pack, days since everything fell apart and they fell crumbled as well. Quilt? Odessa had learned to live with it because she knew it would never go away. It would always be there, lingering in her heart, reminding her of the mistake she made that cost the life of her best friend and the man she loved. Odessa had learned to live with that burden.Now she could only think back with a sad smile and wished she could turn back time but what was done was done and there was nothing she or anyone could do about it. Odessa sighed heavily with her shoulders dropping.She could only thank the goddess for giving her a new chance."Mom,"Odessa's shoulders tensed up and she looked behind her and there he stood, the o
Yarkona ran with all her might but she didn't go far as a wolf abruptly obstructed her path on the pack training ground. With a flip of her hand, the wolf soar across the field. "Filthy wolves!" She spat and galloped toward the forest but again, she hung back on her feet as Reuben and Evelyn came out from the woods."You have nowhere to run to witch!" Evelyn feud with a smirk as she cracked her knuckles.Yarkona jeered, lifting her palm that had a ball of shady energy. "I can take you out with ease,""Not on our watch!"Dashingly, Yarkona veered and there they were, Seth, Gwen, Ruel, Onyx, and their men, and lastly, Yarkona's eyes leveled on Raphael, the unrewarded child she raised. If it hadn't been her, he would have succumbed alongside his mother. Yarkona's eyes solidified and darkness enclosed her. They were all ungrateful and now, she would show them, suddenly, Yarkona was bored of running. Why not finish this once and for all? If she was going down, she would bring them with her
Odessa knew she'd be free of this monster inside of her soon, as well as the shackles around her wrist and ankle, and she knew she'd see her kid soon. It was only a matter of time, but she had no idea it would be this soon.Odessa cocked her head, peering at the kid who had just entered the little hut where she had been living for as long as she could remember. She slowly rose from the bed, and the chains made a loud noise on the floor. She noted the boy's familiar green eyes, how they boiled with tears, how his shoulders stiffened and his hands balled in tight fists.Odessa stood a foot away and didn't realize when the name slipped past her lips. "Raphael,"Raphael sobbed and wrapped his arms around Odessa, who remained still, trying to determine whether this was real or one of her numerous fantasies."Mom," Raphael sobbed on her shoulder.Odessa recovered from her fright and reached out to embrace her son. Her child! Odessa found herself wanting to scream with joy. Her kid was alive
"So, what do we have here?" Alpha Gallon grinned as he entered the dungeons, his gaze fixed on the victims. "It looks like your Alpha has abandoned you to your fate," he sneered. "You know it's so pleasant to watch you people like this, and soon, your alpha would join you or you'd join him in your graves," he grinned, then his gaze fell on Eloise and he looked in admiration. "So gorgeous like your mother," he said, stooping down to her level. He got ahead of himself and didn't realize the death daggers he was receiving as he reached out to touch her, but his wrist was snatched and he was hurled across the cell.Reuben surged to his feet, nearing the idiot Alpha who had deigned to touch his little sister in his presence, but before he could get any closer, he felt hands holding him back to find Alpha Gallon's men, he shook them off as if they were ants, but they were soon back on him, combating him to the floor."Get the hell away from him!" The girls leapt to their feet, but Alpha Gal
Two days letter, Raphael found himself back in the vaults, opening the cell his mate was kept in and trudging inside with a tray of food. Instantly, their heads jerked up to meet his, especially his mate who looked like she had seen an apparition.Raphael took his chances to get closer as he noticed Reuben was fast asleep. He squatted and hoisted the tray towards her."What are you doing??" Evelyn snarled and her aghast gaze swerved into a glare. "Aren't you hungry, you haven't eaten in a while," Raphael's tone came out meekly as he set his eyes only on his mate. It was like there was no one there except her.Evelyn sneered. "I rather starved to death than accept anything from you!"Hurt flashed in Raphael's eyes. "Why?"Evelyn gaped. Of all the idiots in the world, she was paired with the dumbest one! "You've got to be kidding me. Are you fucking blind, look what you freaking did to us and my home, you nearly killed my brother! go away now while Reuben is asleep!"Raphael looked ove
Onyx couldn't believe she was back in these shady and shitty dungeons. She couldn't believe she was back in the place she detested the most.Sitting there on the reformatory floor, Onyx held Daniel to her chest, making sure he was rehabilitating properly, Evelyn was clutching her arm and her head lounged on her mom's shoulder while Reuben sat at the corner, ogling at the floor with a vacuum gaze and Onyx didn't blame the boy. It was their fault for letting their guard down when they knew Yarkona was still out there and would strike anything.And just when Onyx thought it couldn't get any worst, the cell suddenly opened and Everleigh and Eloise were hurled inside.Eloise trotted to her brother's side while Everleigh came to her Mother and siblings.Onyx peered in apprehension. "What are you girls doing here? I thought I told you not to return, where is everyone else?!""We couldn't leave knowing you guys are here, we sent everyone to the hideout and returned," Everleigh retorted, reach
The loud hammering on Onyx's bedroom door made her scream. She rolled onto her back and nearly dismissed it, but the loud, terrified overflowing voices jolted him out of bed and he went to answer the door, only to discover Eloise with terror in her eyes."What's the matter, Eloise?" She seemed perplexed."WE ARE ATTACKED!" The girl wailed in terror, and Onyx became aware of the cries, loud echoes, and rushing footfall.Shit! How could she have missed this?"Let's go!" She grabbed Eloise's wrist and they hurried through the mansion's corridor and out of the home, and Onyx abruptly froze at the smoldering sight of houses and bodies.Onyx looked up in terror. "Not this time!" She screamed. "Quick! To the pack house!" She snarled, transforming into a wolf, and Eloise immediately followed, shifting into a white fur wolf and racing after her aunt toward the pack home, where the true commotion was.When Onyx arrived at the pack home, she saw it was under attack and immediate
"Another rogue attack, this is more critical than the last one. They are propagating in numbers," Seth sighed laying his back on his chair inside his office. He gazed up at Ruel who owned the chair at the other side of the table. "Rose Pack has always been an associate, since they are calling for assistance, we can't rescind them," Ruel indicated and Seth nodded."You are right, we can't abandon them, we should go to their pack right away,""But Dad, if you, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt Onyx are gone, who's going to look after the pack?" Reuben who has been standing at the side voiced out his thoughts.Seth grinned. "There's you,"The boy's eyes magnified for a brisk second. He cackled nervously. "But Dad, I-I-I don't think I can," being one of the future leaders, Reuben had always been pressured since the future Beta and Gamma were both 15 and hadn't even shifted yet and now, he was being given the responsibility of taking care of the pack alone. What if they abruptly get ambushed?"You sti
