Antoine’s POV The sunlight streaked into the armory room. It was morning and everywhere was already bright. I was feeling so exhausted. I had asked Carson to stay with me and have a duel, in which I beat him to a stupor. He had to stagger out when he was leaving. I knew he loves it that way though. He always enjoys our duel. To him, my hurting him is like giving him more training. He is a very good fighter, especially good at calculating movements. He had put up a very good stance against me, which should have been a draw or thereabout, between me and him on a normal day. Just that I had been so distracted that I didn't even know I was wounding him, hitting him and even tearing up his flesh, which had put him in a very bad position of even fighting back. Stacie's face kept popping up into my head, my mind. She had that arrogant scowl on her face. I don't know why, but I was regretting my actions right now. I shouldn't have given her the dumbbells just like that, without even
Stacie's POV I woke up on my bed, feeling very weak and exhausted. I was feeling a very severe ache in my head. Wait a minute. How am I in my bed? That's surprising though. How did I get here? Last I could remember, I was on the field, training. Then I had some visions. Then after the visions, I still went ahead and trained a little more, lifting the dumbells. I had felt the bones and muscles in my arms twisting and contracting against each other. The process had been painfully sweet. But I hadn't stopped lifting. Maybe I had felt sleepy, and dizzy at some point but I hadn't stopped training. How then did I get inside my room? I can't seem to remember. It was as if my memory has been erased. Possibly, someone must have brought me here. Maybe I fainted while training and hit my head on something, maybe that's why I couldn't remember. Or maybe I had been too exhausted after training and hadn't noticed because I hadn't felt it when I walked down to the slaves' quarters, and into m
Damien's POV I had just woken up from sleep to go and take my bath, when a loud voice called my name from outside, banging heavily on the door. I opened the door and saw no one. I cautiously moved out to the porch, then outside. A few minutes later, I heard some heavy thudding of feet, but I couldn't see anyone. Then I looked closely and saw that there was chaos in the main pack house and everyone was running around crazily in different directions. I moved closer to inspect what was happening and ask some of them questions. When I got closer, I realized that there was noise coming from different directions and people were running helter-skelter not knowing where they were going. I stopped some people to ask them what was happening, but none of them waited to even answer me. I looked around, but couldn't see anything chasing them. I looked deep into the woods, I still didn't see anything. "So what could be causing all the chaos and uproar in the pack house?" I wondered "Was th
Damien's POV An aggressive and savage wind began to blow. The trees bent under the fierce wind, and the leaves were rustling, giving off an eerie feeling. I had an ominous hunch that something very bad was going to happen today. Bloodshed! I didn't see Antoine but I knew he was close to me. And I could feel the demon wolves close too. They had come out of their hiding, just that I couldn't see them, but I could smell them. I smelt about thirty of them around me. They would be more than that because the ferocious wind blowing was carrying away some of their scents. The wind became so harsh and I knew we would not last in this human form as the abrasive winds scoured my exposed flesh, which my clothes were not covering. As if reading my mind, Antoine mind linked me. "Shift into your wolf form immediately" he commanded. I did so immediately. Then suddenly, there was a thunderclap, followed by a flash of lightning that began to suck the darkness away, slowly. I could see Antoine,
Antoine's POV Holy shit! These mother-fucking demon wolves aren't dying. "Are they immortal or what?" I wondered. The leader of the demon wolf pack laughed uncontrollably. "So you think you can actually kill us so easily?" "That can only happen in your dream" He scoffed, as he shifted into his wolf form, looking so huge even than the first one that shifted earlier. He scanned the body of his dead pack members again. "First, you must suffer for killing some members of my pack" He beckoned and signaled to his pack members to shift into their wolf form, and they did so almost immediately. I was already in my wolf form, so I signaled to my pack warriors to quickly shift to their wolf forms, which they did with breaking of bones sounds everywhere. "Go to hell!" He shouted as he took a menacing step toward me. I braced myself, standing ready, as if I thought he was going to knock me down with his huge body. But surprisingly enough, he ran past me, his pack members running closely
Antoine's POV "Stand down!" I shouted to my pack warriors. They started retreating, still in their wolf form. "Code three! Code three!" I repeated, raising three fingers up. Maybe it was the panic and fear in them or the fire that was burning them on their furs, I don't know. But they didn't seem to understand what I was saying, or perhaps, they weren't even listening to me at all. "Dark moon pack warriors!" I shouted at the highest my voice could go. And that got their attention. They stopped running. "Shift into your human form immediately!" I commanded, breaking down the pack's code. With snapping and breaking of bones, groaning, and shouts of pain, all of them shifted at once. In our wolf form, we're much stronger than when in human form, but the only problem was fire. Our furs catch fire very fast, and the fire quickly spreads to the entire body, burning the skin and making us jerk around senselessly, then drop dead. I knew those that already had their furs on fire were n
Antoine's POV A thought popped into my head. I started laughing uncontrollably. He looked at me in disgust, glaring hard. He must be expecting me to cower under his hard and bloodthirsty gaze, but I refused. That would only give him the satisfaction he wanted, and he would hit me too. I lifted my chin and straightened my back against the tree, and refused to buckle, still laughing. He gave me an angry look, he seemed like he didn't like to be laughed at. And with that, he released his grip on my neck, and I fell down to the ground, flat on my back, cracking my ribs for the second time again. "Ouch!" I groaned in pain. And in the next instant, the man was towering over me again, ready to draw out blood. I quickly held up my palms, as if to surrender. He paused. I wasn't going to surrender, never! Not against such a cruel monster like this. I quickly rolled and slid from under him and got up to my feet, surprising him. I was feeling very weak, and I felt pain all over my body,
Carson's POV Antoine shouted to us to take cover, and almost immediately the demon wolves started spitting fire at us. We can't change to our wolf form, as the fire would burn our fur, through to our skin. But then again, being in human form isn't that effective, since we wouldn't be as strong as being in wolf form. I took cover behind a tree, resting my back on the tree so that the demon wolves wouldn't be able to get to me. The rest of the pack warriors also maintained the same position, hiding behind different trees. The demon wolves were approaching us, fire burning from their eyes and nostrils, but there wasn't anything we could do. I racked my brain about what we could do to defeat them, but I couldn't get any idea. If only I had brought ammunition or any other weapon apart from only knives. But then, I wasn't expecting the battle to be this fierce. Although I've heard stories about these demon wolves, about how they had black powers, how they could set people on fire with th
ANTOINE'S POV"Sophia and Ethan are dead? Are you sure of that?". I asked Nolan. He nodded his head. "yes. From now on, we don't have to worry about them. They won't be bothering you anymore. Now we just have to focus on you and Stacie. You know that she's pregnant right now and she can't be agitated for any reason at all" Nolan told me. I nodded my head. "Yes. But now is not the time to relax. We need to completely get rid of Daniel before I can be rest assured that it's completely over. Beta Daniel will definitely not let it go since I have killed his son. He will want to get revenge on me but I have to beat him at his game and make sure that he's dead before I can enjoy myself with Stacie " I said to Nolan. "Do you know who you are going to make the Alpha if Daniel is dead? It's not like we can leave the pack unattended right? We need to place someone there so that the pack won't be thrown into chaos " Nolan told me. I nodded my head because I know that he is right. We need to
DANIEL'S POVI paced up and down in the throne room. Ethan has been gone for a few days and I haven't heard anything from him yet. I was really worried about him. I know that he won't be able to defeat Alpha Antoine. All that I wanted was for my son to come back here in one piece. That is the only thing that I need from him. One of the guards walked inside and bowed in front of me. I waved my hands. I don't need him to bow to me. All that I need is for them to find my son and bring him back to me. That is the only thing that I want right now. "What is going on? Did you find out anything about Ethan?. Do you know where he could be right now?" I immediately started to question him. "We have no news from Ethan just yet but someone told us that the Alpha had already completed his mating ceremony a few days ago. Stacie is now the Luna of the pack" the guard told me. My heart sank to my chest when I heard this. The plan was for Ethan to kill them at the ceremony. The fact that the cere
ETHAN'S POVDo you think that you'll get away with it again?" He asked me. "What are you going to do to me?"."What do you think? Of course, I'll kill you!" I was so scared that I wanted to throw up. I don't want to die. I don't want to die just yet. I want to live. At that moment, I saw my life flash past my eyes. I had a good life before I met Stacie. Even if I did not like what my father did to me, at least I was safe. There was no threat to my life. But ever since I met Stacie, it's as if things went downhill for me. All that I want is to stay alive right now. I regret a lot of things. I should not have kidnapped her. I should not have taken her against her will and brought her to my pack. I should not have come back here just because I found out that she lied to me and I want to kill her. I should not have done all of those things. I suddenly glared at Stacie. It was as if I lost all of the love that I felt for her immediately. The only thing that I could feel for her was
Ethan's POVI need to show her what it means to mess with me! "I am not the one who's going to die Stacie. You are the one who's going to die! What do you think I came here for? Do you think that I will still be so blindly in love with you that I won't be able to tell you that you're a horrible person who deserves to die?" I asked her.She laughed in my face. "You want to kill me? Ethan, you really think that you can kill me?" She asked me in a mocking manner. Where did she get all of this confidence from? What the heck is going on with her? I decided not to waste words with her. I am done talking to her. I took out the dagger I hid in my body and rushed to stab her with it. I was just inches away from her body when I felt as if there was an invincible power pushing me away from her. No matter how hard I tried, I could not move...I was stuck there. "What....what is going on?" I caught sight of the smug smile that Stacie had on her face. "I told you. You can't touch me!" She sai
ETHAN'S POV"What do you mean by that? Aren't you happy to see me?" I asked her with a smile on my face. "I said what are you doing here and how did you even get in here without anyone seeing you?" Stacie asked me..she was looking at me as if I am her worst enemy in the whole wide world. She wasn't like this before I took her away from me. At least then she was still nice to me. When did it all change? When did I become someone that she can't even stand? "The same way I took you away from here without anyone finding out. Back then, they didn't care about you so I took you away easily. Now, they still don't care about you and I am going to do whatever it is that I want with you! Why are you like this Stacie? If only you had come with me... if only you had stayed put then this won't have been happening right now! You know that I love you and that I am willing to do anything and everything for you! So why did you betray me?! Why did you throw away all of my feelings?! I was willing to
ETHAN'S POVI haven't heard of the Alpha going against the elders of the pack like this before. Do you think it's okay for me to come with you?" The bartender gave me a weary look. I know that he doesn't trust me completely. After all, he doesn't know me and he doesn't know who I am so it's understandable that he doesn't trust me at all. But I am going to convince him to take me into the palace with him. "Come on. I really haven't seen something like this in my life before. An Alpha going against all of his elders just to make the she-wolf that he likes his Luna? It must be fascinating!" I said to him. The bartender nodded his head. "Yes. You are right. It's fascinating. That is why all of us are going to see it. " He told me. "So please let me tag along with you. Don't worry. I'll be sure not to get you in trouble. As soon as I take a look at her face, I'll leave the palace. Do this for me okay?" I asked him He still seemed a bit hesitant. I suddenly had an idea. I took out some
ETHAN'S POV I was sitting in a bar. I had spent the entire day, walking through the pack and trying to figure out a way to enter the palace without getting caught by the Alpha. The security measures in the palace have increased since the last time that I was here. But I already expected this. After all, I did kidnap Stacie and take her away under everyone's noses. It's clear that the Alpha is going to want to protect her even more. I'd be suspicious if the palace wasn't guarded. I would think that they are setting up a trap for me. But as it is, there's no way they can know that I am here. I did a good job disguising myself when I came here after all. I was still lost in the thoughts of how I am going to torture Alpha Antoine and Stacie when the bartender walked over to me. "Hello, Sir. I am really sorry but you'll have to leave. We are closing up now " he said to me. I turned to glare at him it's not even twelve yet so why the heck are there closing up so soon? "What
SOPHIA'S POV The next morning, I immediately got dressed and left the palace. Alpha Daniel did not even ask me where I was going when I left. I think that he was all too happy to see me go. As he said, I am one of the reasons why his son decided to put his life in danger and go back to Alpha Antoine's pack just to get revenge. I know that I had indeed manipulated him into doing back because I want him to take revenge on Stacie for me but he won't have done it if he didn't want revenge too. He wanted to get back at her for the so-called humiliation that she gave to him so even if I didn't say anything, he still would have done something. Anyway, it no longer has anything to do with me. If he can really kill Stacie, that will be best for me because it will mean that although I didn't get the Alpha, she can't get him either. But if he doesn't manage to kill her then, he'd be the one to die and I seriously don't care at all. It's none of my business. All that I care about i
CIARA'S POV I was really worried when Sophia ended the call and told me that she was going to think about it. I thought that she had figured out that I had sold her off to the Alpha and that she was not going to show up. Sophia has always been very smart anyway so it won't be extremely hard for her to figure it out. In fact, the only thing I am counting on now is the friendship that we have with each other. If she really sees me as a friend then she won't suspect me so easily right? I was still worried about this when my phone rang again. I picked it up and saw that it was Sophia. I answered it immediately. "Fine. Ciara. Let's leave. where do you want to meet me? You are right. I need to get out of this place. And you need to get out too or else the Alpha is going to come for you sooner or later" Sophia said. I was so happy that she bought my explanation. Everything is going as planned soon, I'd be far away from this pack. As for Sophia....well, I guess that she'd be de
