It was supposed to be a day of extravaganza for Black Fur Pack. Gwen was sure everything was precise, she and everyone were sure everything was going to end well, nevertheless, she had no idea how everything took off south.The tremendous main hall of the pack house was beautifully decorated, crammed with different packs who were there to witness and join in the spree.Gwen recalled standing beside the pillars and beside her were Onyx and Phoebe. They gazed as Oswald took over from his father, he declared his pledges and bonds and next was Ruel and the third in command-Paul. Everyone eyed with mirth as the three new leaders of Black Fur Pack stood in front of the crowd. It was adequate, everything was good, then it ensued.The vibration underneath their feet had everyone diverted, murmuring and reeling their heads in havoc. Gwen almost looked away from the stage, however, she saw the glint in Oswald's eyes and the way his lips slanted into a malignant smirk as he footed back and pulle
At this point, Gwen didn't think things could get any worse than sitting in the dark dungeons and having their packs be ruled by Oswald and his crazy mother, and his equally crazy mate. They were a bunch of knuckleheads."Did you get hurt?" Syrin looked at Gwen and the she-wolf shook her head."I'm fine," She sported a tiny smile for her brother and scanned around the still shocked faces of everyone, the incident five hours ago was still fresh on their minds and strike their bones whenever they think of the horror.They, Gwen, Onyx, Seth, Syrin, Ruel, and Logan were locked together in the same space of the smelly, dirty, wet, and rayless cell, having the slightest idea of what happened to the others the minute they were separated.They let the deafening silence own their midst, each person arranging their thoughts and putting things in order, however, the silence was soon intruded on at the sound of boots railing against the floor came to their hearing and grabbed their attention and
"Let go of me!" Gwen blurted as Oswald heaved her into his bedroom, hurling her form on the bed. Gwen instantly bared her teeth at him, her hand lifted to strick if he got closer."What makes you think your little mastery is going to do anything to me, there's nothing more powerful than dark magic," He smirked, holding his hand up and Gwen saw the familiar ball of dark energy on his palm. "Now, it's either you lay back down and let me fuck you or we do this hard way, I don't mind,"Gwen scowled. "Over my dead body!"Oswald's eyes were obscured. "That can be arranged," He got closer to her on the bed while Gwen got ready to strick.His aura shifted, and so did Gwen as an abrupt wind spiraled around her as a shield but suddenly, her body went flabby and a stampede of pain surged through her. Gwen screamed at the nappy pain."I told you we should do this the easy way, you wouldn't listen," Oswald jeered, slipping his shirt over his head and flinging it to the corner of the room. He got o
"Are you okay?" Onyx inquired, crawling over to Ruel's side, her gaze instantly landing on his rib where he was injured, "Shouldn't you have healed already?" Her eyes slightly magnified in realization, reached out to press her palm on his forehead and hissed at the heat. "Fuck, you have a fever!" Ruel took her hand off his forehead. "I'm fine, no need to worry, I will heal soon enough,"Onyx felt her heart break as Ruel moved away from her, resting his back against the wall, and suddenly, she felt guilt surging through her, knowing it was her fault he was shifting away. It doesn't matter, she told herself. It was better this way but she couldn't bare to watch him be in pain. She grabbed the hem of his shirt and lifted it to his chest, examining the injury, and her breath hitched at the three claw wounds at the left side of his stomach. "Why isn't it healing?"Seth left his place and approached his friend, squatting beside him and eyeing the injury, he reached out to brush a finger on
"So, have you decided yet?"Onyx sneered at the question, struggling with the hands that held her back from ripping out Oswald's throat, wanting badly to get rid of the smug smirk on his stupid face. "You should try again, bastard. You are in the wrong cell!" she growled at him, baring her teeth.Oswald swiveled and sauntered toward her, he leaned down to her height. He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Have you gotten prettier, Onyx? You don't look your age, your mate is one lucky man," He enunciated, trailing the pad of his finger on her jaw.Again, Onyx snarled. "What have you done with Gwen?" She mandated. Onyx always knew there was something off about Oswald, yet she never glid far, brushing it as nothing, now, she wished she had dug further, she would have found what she wanted but right now, it was pointless beating at a dead horse because Onyx was going to put the bastard in his place.Oswald sneered, patting her hair. "You will probably never see her again
"You should eat?" Tatiana peered expectantly, placing a little tray of food in front of Seth while squatting in front of him.Seth tilted his head, giving the redhead an expressionless look. "What are you doing here Tatiana?""I came to give you food, you were injured and must have lost a lot of blood," She retorted, keeping her tone feathery and almost innocent.Onyx derided from the corner of the wall. "You've lost your way soldier,"Hastily, Tatiana's jaw strengthened and she dashingly gawked at Onyx. "I don't think so, I did what I did to save myself and my family and if you quit being stubborn, Alpha Oswald might let you out of here," Only fools would go after Oswald, Tatiana had chosen to exclude herself from that list."Really?" Onyx tsked. "You are something else, Tatiana. You chose a man who ruined your home. What are you, his bed warmer?"Tatiana's pheromones spiked. "He didn't ruin anything, Alpha Zahir and Luna Yaletha deserve what happened to them. He only wishes to aveng
Seth scrutinized the guard standing outside the dungeons, then his dark gaze flickered over to the keys resting at the top of his pants, Seth gazed at them intensively. Seth needed to get out of here, his wolf crawled at the back of his head, irking him to get them the fuck out of the cell, he felt trapped, bounded and Seth realized his instincts had gotten strong since he acknowledged the fact that he might be an Alpha, he could feel the presence of his wolf getting stronger, especially knowing his mate was in the arms of a bastard like Oswald, he needed to get her out.Seth averted his gaze, flickering them towards his cellmates, searching their sleeping faces till Seth found a pair of cold eyes staring back at him across the dirty floor "What?" He uttered in a blank tone."I know what you're thinking and it's not a bright idea," Ruel shook his head disapprovingly."Do you have a better idea Ruel, I can't stay here knowing my mate is in danger, I swear to the goddess, I will kill Os
He didn't know where he was, the more he stared, the more the surroundings around him were foreign. He was known for his skills in the woods as the pack hunter but right now, Seth couldn't live up to that reputation. He was lost and he knew it and it was dark, not that he needed light to guard his way, the full moon was a reminder that he was a supernatural creature.It had been more than twenty minutes since he woke up with his face buried in a pile of dirt in the forest and it had been fifteen minutes since he started walking without a sense of direction while trying to figure out what Oswald was thinking tossing him in the forest like some manure. For how long had he been inanimate?One thing Seth scorned was not knowing where he was. He made him feel clueless, it made him feel almost frightened and the growl at his head said his wolf did not like it too. Unexpectedly, Seth's nostrils were graced with a familiar scent and he paused for a moment, his eyes widening and his legs movi

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
