It hurts. She couldn't tell where but everywhere felt like it was on fire.Odessa had never felt this much anguish in her life before. It was like she was being stewed in igneous boiling oil as she dripped and panted hellaciously.Again, she let out an earsplitting outcry as something shifted inside of her. She knew she was pregnant but the baby wasn't evolved yet, it was something else, something Addanc had been nurturing almost every day.Odessa was fatigued of crying, she had disposed of every tear in her body. She was tired of seeking help from those who just watched her, who she thought would be her biggest ally now that Oswald, her mate was gone and for the hundredth time, Odessa realized she was all alone. Alone in this pain and misery, she had put herself. Unaccompanied in this fight she didn't ask for.Lying on the bed with both her ankles and wrist shackled, Odessa gazed up at the ceiling with nothing in her eyes, once in a few minutes, she let out riots of agony but she did
Kristion, the mate of Isolde who in this life was Gwen who was Seth's mate. Seth tried not to gape after arranging everything together and tried not to reveal the awe and alarm ringing in his head as he realized this man before him was more than 10 hundred years old. "You are immortal," he finally spoke after hours of deafening silence."Yes, I am. I can't die and I can't be killed. It was the curse laid upon me the moment I decided to be the next successor of the Crystal Beads,"Seth's eyes dilated at the mention of the beads. "You have the beads?" He inquired, trying not to sound optimistic but the emotion was conspicuous.Kristion nodded. "I do but they aren't what you need to bring your mate back to life. The beads lost their most essential powers over the years. You could say, they had been rendered almost sterile,"And just like that, Seth's hope rumbled and he was lounging against the tough walls of the cave. Kristion tilted his head, probing the younger Alpha before a slight
A few days have passed since Addanc had taken over their world as the supreme ruler he once claimed to be. Those who opposed his decree paid an extreme price and Ruel couldn't take off his gaze away from where he stood at the side, among the slaves in camouflage, watching those who refused Addanc's authority get lambasted with sliver.Ruel staved off his gaze to where Addanc stood, a look of ecstasy in his eyes equally watching his opposers getting punished. Ruel's hand fisted at his side as he fought everything revolting inside of him to hop up there and rive the heart out from that scoundrel and before he could do anything rash, a hand dropped on his wrist and he whirled nattily to find Syrin giving him a cautioning look while grasping his wrist tightly."It's time to leave," Syrin notified but Ruel didn't want to. How could he leave when his people were agonizing, how could he leave when that aberration was still there, smirking as if he possessed the sphere which at the moment he
Not again! Not again!Odessa clamored in grisliness and broaden her eyes at the content she evacuated from her stomach to the toilet and felt her heart plummet at the sight of blood.She was retching blood and it wasn't the first time.Suddenly, Odessa felt vertiginous and she was fumbling on the wall of the bathroom while her hand supported her bulging stomach. She gasped for air as she felt breathless and garroted and the walls in front of her began to spin.No! Odessa internally shrieked. This couldn't be happening to her, she couldn't afford to lose her baby like this, the child in her womb was all she had of Oswald. Odessa shook her head. She couldn't afford to let this happen to her."Odessa, it's time to come out!"The voice Odessa scorned the most shouted from the other side and Odessa scowled at the door and she staggered over to the sink where she clutched it tightly till her fingers ached.With a whirling vision, Odessa presided towards the door and opened it to find a sne
Yarkona thought she had finally cut the mustard and had one less problem to deal with but she was wrong, she was dead wrong and abhorred every minute of her time being squandered. "Why do you keep fighting it? No matter what you do, it will one day ingurgitate you," Odessa didn't retaliate, looking apathetic at where she was crouching on the bed, back rested on the wall, the back of her knees were lifted off the bed while her wrist and ankle were shackled with chains. She remained immobile and played deaf to Yarkona's words as her gaze remained on only one spot in particular. Yarkona scoffed coming to sit on the bed with a bowl of greenish liquid and bringing it to Odessa's lips and the she-wolf didn't oppose and sluggishly swallowed the content but didn't look away from the spot she found more absorbing than her present situation. Yarkona grinned in contentment. "I'm glad you've finally seen how fruitless it is to protest, I'm glad you've decided to accept your fate and you can't b
Yarkona smirked at the three girls shackled in front of her. She stared at their baffled and frightened faces. "Aren't you girls just feather brain but I will use your idiocy to my advantage, that's the best part,""You won't get anything from us. We will never tell you where the others are!" Roxanne blurted and Yarkona laughed and lifted her hand where an orb of shady energy circled, the girl's breath hitched in fear and they began striving with their bonds."You were so intrepid earlier, why so skittish now?" She heckled with a smirk. "I will give you a choice, Addanc expects me to bring input on the bearing of the others, and believe me that's my life-consecrated job. I will make this simpler if you tell me where they are,""Over our dead bodies!" Phoebe spatted.Yarkona grinned. "That can be arranged, we can always do this over your corpses," she got closer to Roxanne with the dark orb. "You seem braver, I will start with you first and let your friends watch,"Roxanne strived to d
The reverberate of a battle cry made Onyx's head jolt up and she peered at Xenia and Nordika who mirrored her expression. "They are here," she enunciated. She stood up and scaled to the bars and clutched them, trying to chirp through the darkness.Xenia approached Onyx. "Since they are here, it's time you leave. Nordika and I will watch Gwen just in case,"Just in case they thwart Addanc and the redhead wakes. Onyx nodded. "Remember, the heart is the mark, the same goes for Addanc," Xenia proceeded, then she faced the bars, and with a flash of her eyes, the iron doors blast opened and Onyx didn't waste any time and scampered down the foyer of the pack vaults, passing cell after cell filled with prisoners that unfurled their hands towards her for help, finally, she arrived at her destination and hastily broke into the cell."Roxanne!" Onyx blat, rushing toward the mindless form of the three girls shackled and back rested against the wall. She hunched and placed her fingers on Roxanne'
The sky over their heads blackened, nothing could be seen no matter how much one peeped, it was like staring into a deep and shallow void, black and enigmatical, followed by the clap of thunder and lightening that flashed and graced the sky with its beauty and amid this chaos was Seth and Addanc, baring teeth and were at each other's throats, each wanting to scrape the other and rip out their hearts.With a detonate of energy, Addanc had struck Seth, sending him across the hall, spurting through the doors and into the night. Seth fell to a knee and held his balance with his sharp claws.Seth smirked, his eyes no longer a midnight blue but a pair of caliginous and malignant silver, and his aura that was once suffocating and vast was now vindictive and afflictive when one get closer.Still mashed to the ground, Onyx's eyes looked like they were about to fall out of her socket and her mouth hanged opened as she watched the uncanny smirk that sprawled on Seth's lips. If Onyx didn't know b

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
