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
The forest was dark and earthy and the smell of it was damp."Stop! Stop! Stop!" Odessa shrieked, falling against a tree, and letting out a pained sob as she supported her heavy stomach. "I can't go any further,"Yarkona grimaced, "No, we can't stop, we need to keep going,""Keep going?!" Odessa squealed, panting heavily. "We have been walking for hours, I can't go anymore," she shook her head violently, sliding to the wet ground and letting out another pain-filled cry. Yarkona did a quick scan of their surrounding before squatting to Odessa's level. She placed her hand on her stomach. "Do you think you can give birth?" Odessa gaped. "What, no!""Then we just have to make you give birth," Odessa tightly held Yarkona's hand, pulling it away from her stomach, and shoved the witch back, and bared her teeth. "I won't let you hurt my child!"Yarkona sneered. "If I want to hurt anyone, it would be you, I need that baby alive and if you want to stay alive, you better shut your mouth and d
A whole month had passed since the chaos and Gwen could say every pack was slowly picking up its broken pieces and starting anew.Syrin and the others had gone back to White Claw Pack while Gwen chose to remain in Black Fur Pack because that was her real home and the people needed her more since they had no Alpha and they looked up to her as their new Luna.It had been a month since Seth had been unconscious. Gwen would have been troubled hadn't been for Kristion's warning before the man left.Seth would only wake up on his own time, only when the power of the beads had settled. Gwen marveled at how long that would take but as long as Seth would wake up one day, she was content waiting. After all, she had once been in his position. "At this point, we can only expand the pack, yes it's the largest but since we have more population over the few weeks and loses, we have to make use of more lands, especially for growing crops," Gwen suggested, pointing at the geographical map laid out on
Seth was awake!Excitement seeped through Gwen at the news and was whisking down the pack house hallway heading toward Seth's bedroom. She didn't bother knocking as she nudged her way inside to find her mate sitting on the bed with his feet on the floor while slipping into a shirt."Seth!" Gwen shrieked in enthusiasm and darted toward her mate, enveloping him in a hug that threw him back on the bed with her on top of him. "I missed you so much!" She screeched on his shoulder while Seth's arms deliberately went around his waist, holding her as if making sure she was real.Gwen withdrew and peered into his blue eyes and cupped his face in his palms. "I'm so glad you are awake, I was so afraid,"Seth didn't say a word. He stared as if he was hypnotized, he stared as if she was nothing but a fabric of his imagination, and once he blinks she would vanish from his eyes as she usually did. "Y-you are here," he managed out and Gwen eagerly nodded, leaning down to press her lips against his in
She glared at the baby on the arduous floor of a grotto she had taken haven, sheathed in thin sheets, and was barely a week old.Oswald and Odessa's son.Yarkona ogled with a definite gaze as the baby compressed the space with his tiny voice, shrieking so garishly and annoyingly, Yarkona almost slapped him shut but not wanting to lure attention, she hesitantly picked up the baby but he continued screeching. She hissed in irritation. She despised children and that was a fact. It was only fortunate that she didn't get to get raised Oswald by herself.Oswald…Tears were suddenly streaming down her face at the thought of her son.He was gone, slain by those who annihilated her mate and again, Yarkona realized she was all deserted now. Her plans of retaliation had languished one after the other.But did they think it was over? Yarkona's eyes were grimier than any night and her jaws were locked tightly, brutal and determined because it wasn't over until she say it was over.Her gaze avert
Gwen walked into Odessa's room."Odessa?" Gwen frowned, unable to see the she-wolf on the bed, and her eyes was led to the left side of the room, where Odessa cowered in the corner, her hair all over her face, squeezed against the wall.Gwen approached her but was stopped by a snake-like hiss from Odessa, who had not moved from her stance. Gwen's feet were hesitant, but she didn't let that stop her as she grew closer. "I brought you food; please eat,"Gwen was gently setting the dish on the floor and slowly pushing it toward Odessa when she suddenly seized the platter and slammed the food down herthroat like she had been Starving for years.Gwen dropped herself to the ground, sat with her knees folded, and kept a tight eye on her friend because her heart ached.Gwen never imagined she'd see Odessa in such a plight.The Odessa she knew used to be dark and vibrant in a fascinating way. The Odessa she knew would never go to such lengths. When a tear flowed down Gwen's face, she was taken
(NINE MONTHS LATER)The pack was in upheaval once more, but this time it was a good kind of mayhem as virtually everyone in the Black Fur pack waited outside the pack home where they knew Luna was giving birth inside, while Seth walked from one corner to the other, concerned by the loud cries from Gwen on the other side of the door Seth was standing in front of.Ruel urged Seth to "relax," but Seth didn't believe he could since his veins were being torn apart by queasiness. Although she-wolves had fewer complications during childbirth than humans since they were werewolves, the persistent conviction in his brain that something would go awry was comparatively higher. "I'm eager to see my nephew". Alpha Syrin spoke from the corner, where he was positioned with one leg against the wall and his hands folded over his chest.In a rush, thirty minutes had passed, and the Luna's cries had finally stopped, and everyone held their breath and stiffened their shoulders as they waited, patiently,

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
