"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
Swiftly, Seth had omitted his blood-stained shirt to the floor, staring down at his stomach where he had been scuffed earlier at the fight. He glowered at the claw mark on the left side of his stomach, pulling taut lower to his abdomen.He swung at the space, looking around the ample and neat bedchamber he was steered to as soon as Xenia brought them to what was a deserted castle behind mountains, inhabited by thousands of rogues stuck in their human or wolf form.He and Ruel had been segregated and Seth didn't divulge in these rogues one bit. What if they had maimed his friend? Seth chose not to think of it, Ruel was a Beta, he would be able to take care of himself till they find each other and get the fuck out of here."That looks nasty,"He looked up at the voice to find Xenia lounging against the wall beside the door with her arms pleated on her chest. "Do you need help?" She nudged herself off the wall and approached him, coming to stand before him, her hand reached out to his de
Gwen's body jerked to a sitting position on the bed at the sound of the door opening. She heard the railed of heel boots and the whiff of something eerie before Odessa came to view. Gwen never thought there would come a day when her best friend would smell ominous and it made her gut whirl knowing Odessa was not who she was anymore. Gwen cowered to the wall, not from panic but she didn't want to get anywhere close to Odessa who ambled into the room with a plate of food, placed it on top of the bed, and gently nudged it toward Gwen. "You should eat," Gwen scoffed and rolled her hazel eyes. "Wouldn't you like it if I were to starve to death, wouldn't it give you a sense of fulfillment," Odessa shrieked. "Stop being so tenacious and eat before I lose my forbearance and jostle the damn food down your throat!" She blurted, losing her composure and Gwen nearly shivered at the shift in Odessa's scent. It was fatal and gothic. "What did you do to yourself, Odessa? Why did you let Oswald a
Gwen disdained her present situation but she told herself she could tolerate it, nothing lasted, she believed there would come a time she would be out of these chambers but what she despised the most and couldn't stand the sight of was the revolting look of ardor Oswald always gave whenever he shuffled into the room.It made her squeamish, it caused aversion that such a person existed and the prick was Odessa's mate.Oswald smirked at the sick look on Gwen's face. "What's with the face?""I want you out of my sight, that's the face. Fuck off!" She screeched, sneering at him."For a prisoner, you have a lot of brasses but you know what, that's what I like about you, it's intriguing," he tsked and crossed his arms over his chest. "I didn't want to break the news to you like this but Seth-" he waited and took pleasure in the look of horridness on her face. "..is dead,""I don't believe you," she looked away. She would never believe him. Seth couldn't be dead, she would have felt it. "If
Xenia's lips lunged into a smile as she looked at the incompetent form of Alpha Vaughan, held in his knees and his wrists bound behind him. "We meet again, Alpha Vaughan," She jeered and laughed at his irked expression. "You didn't think we wouldn't meet again, did you, Alpha Vaughan? I did promise to make you pay for your crimes, what makes you think I wouldn't keep to my words and believe me, I never break my promises,""I'm going to make you pay for this!" The Alpha spat, gritting his teeth and toiling with the sliver binds on his wrists that mercilessly cut through his flesh.Xenia cackled like it was the absurdist sentence she had heard in her lifetime. "Make me pay? Perhaps you still haven't grasped the current situation, Alpha Vaughan, how about I fill you in? Your people are dead, the ones you trusted have all betrayed you, they left you to die by my hands and for the first time, Yarkona did something right," She grabbed his mouth with her fingers and made sure they dug into h

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
