I ran away from the crowd's outburst, fleeing from their disappointment in me as their Alpha. I felt so weak and unworthy, I was not brave enough to face them again, and I mocked myself for being so weak.

I kept running until my knees begged me to stop, until my legs grew numb, and the soles of my feet arched in pain. I could have easily shifted into my wolf form to make the escape easier, but I did not, probably because I wanted to punish my human body.

Finally, I stopped in my tracks, gasping for breath. My body was drenched in sweat, and my cheeks were stained with tears. My eyes were swollen from crying, and the tears kept flowing uncontrollably. My legs felt like lead, and I collapsed to my knees, overwhelmed by exhaustion and despair.

"Why are you crying, child?" a voice suddenly said, breaking the silence around me.

Startled, I whipped around, searching for the source of the voice, as I had thought I was alone in this lonely place.

"Who are you?" I demanded, but there was no im

    "What is the matter? What are you looking at ?" Alex inquired."Nothing," I replied, still trying to recover from the shock."I apologize for that," Alex said. I looked at him, puzzled, wondering what he was referring to."Sorry for what?" I asked, genuinely confused."Sorry for what the pack member said to you," Alex clarified."Oh, right," I said, recalling the earlier incident."Are you sure you are okay, Blue?" Alex inquired."Of course, I am fine," I assured him."So, what are you going to do about it? " he asked.“I do not know yet, I am still trying to gather my thoughts” I answered.“Well, you should do it fast before the packs reject you as their Alpha and choose another person,” he warned.“What? They can do that. The position is rightfully mine by birth,” I protested“I know that, but the pack is also capable of rejecting you and giving your position to someone else,” Alex explained.“That is unfair, Troy is my mate and they will accept it sooner or later,” I said firmly.

    "Hey, dear," I greeted Troy as I entered his office. He appeared to be deeply engrossed in his work, but he looked up as soon as he heard me come in."Hi, Blue. I was not aware you were coming to see me," he said, setting aside the papers he had been holding on his desk."Well, I can go back if you are busy. We can catch up later when you come home," I offered, already turning towards the door."No, please stay," he insisted, his tone warm."Are you sure about that?" I asked concerned, not wanting to distract him from his work."Hundred percent, besides your presence is exactly what I need right now," Troy reassured me with a warm smile."Okay," I replied, a bit uncertain but willing to be there for him."Come, dear, come sit," he invited, patting his lap and gesturing for me to join him.I walked over to him and settled somewhat awkwardly on his lap, but he gently pulled me closer, wrapping his strong arms around my waist."Relax, Blue," he whispered, planting a soft kiss on my foreh

    I kept hearing tingling around my ears, and I shifted in my bed, but it was not going away. I opened my eyes to see two soft, tiny lights circling me, emitting soft sounds. Strangely, it felt familiar, and I was not scared. Maybe I was hallucinating, I told myself, and I tried to go back to sleep. However, the tingling feeling persisted. When I opened my eyes once more, the lights were still there, and it felt as though they were beckoning me to follow them. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to follow them.I removed the duvet from my body and climbed out of bed. The soft lights led me to the window, where they hovered as if urging me to join them. I approached the window, and when I looked outside, I saw a long trail of tiny lights flowing through the night air. The two lights that had been circling me now joined the others.I knew I should probably not go and just stay in my room, but curiosity got the better of me. Unable to resist, I climbed out of my window and began

    The birds were chirping beautifully as I found myself lying in the woods instead of waking up in the comfort of my bed. The sunrise bathed the surroundings in a warm glow, and I hoped that no one had noticed my absence. I opened my hand and found the crystal still there, confirming that I was not hallucinating.I hated my spirit guidance, Sabrina or Sapphire, or whatever her name was, I did not care anymore, She had become an unbearable presence, more of a nuisance than a guide. She was such a pain in the ass. What was the point of having a spirit guide if I had to do everything myself?In my irritation, I kicked a nearby rock, only to hurt my leg in the process."Ouch. Sabrina, whatever the hell your name is, that is your fucking fault," I yelled in anger, purposely mispronouncing her name in the hope that it would annoy her.I walked back to the pack house, fully expecting to find Troy waiting for me."Where have you been, Blue?" he asked as soon as I entered."I, um, went for a run

    TROY’S POV.I waited downstairs for Blue, who was taking longer than expected. It was already thirty minutes past seven, and she was supposed to be down by seven. Doubts crept in, had something gone wrong, or had she changed her mind about going out with me? I would not blame her, but I was desperately hoping she would come. I briefly considered going to her bedroom to check on her, but I resisted the urge. It turned out to be a good decision because, at that moment, Blue descended the stairs, looking incredibly beautiful. I was in awe, almost feeling like I needed to pinch myself to confirm that I was still awake because it felt as if I were staring at an actual angel.In that instant, I realized she was the woman I had been searching for, and I was determined never to part from her. I was ready to devote every second and every minute of my life to proving it. Her smile made my heart race, and it felt like my wolf and my very soul was calling out to her."Cat got your tongue?"

    WARNING❗WARNING❗WARNING❗MATURE CONTENT.I carried Blue in my arms, feeling the warmth of her body against mine as I led her to my bedroom. I made sure to lock the doors, I did not want anyone to interrupt us this time. I gently laid her on my bed."Are you sure you want this?" I asked softly, wanting to be certain that this was what she truly desired.She nodded, her eyes filled with desire and longing, and without another word, she pulled me in for a slow passionate kiss. I ran my hand from her shoulder to her full hips, feeling the curve of her breast, the dip of her waist, the firm swell of her ass. I let my hands drift down to the back of her gown. She drew in a breath as I zipped the gown and removed it from her body.I rested my palm on her cheek. “God, you are so beautiful,” I said as I planted my lips on her. It was slow at first, but then I kissed her deeply, and she liked itShe tilted her head back with a soft moan as I leaned down and kissed her neck. My hands wrapped ar

    I woke up feeling incredibly refreshed and content. The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, giving out a warm, golden glow in the room. I turned to find Troy lying beside me, his eyes filled with warmth and affection."Good morning, sunshine," he greeted me, his voice a soft, melodic whisper that sent shivers down my spine. Without a word, he pulled me closer and tried to kiss me."I have not brushed my teeth," I protested, attempting to pull away from him.He chuckled softly, not willing to let me go so easily. "It does not matter," he insisted, his lips curving into a mischievous smile. He pulled me back in for another kiss.I finally managed to free myself from his embrace and shared my plans for the day."I am hanging out with Mary today," I announced to Troy."What are you guys going to do today?" Troy asked.I shrugged. "I don't know yet. I will find out when I get there," I replied, standing up from the bed."I don't want you to go, stay with me," he sa

    I tried on all the dresses she had, and honestly, they were the most gorgeous and beautiful dresses I had ever seen. However, they were not practical for my lifestyle. I spend most of my time training and doing various activities that require freedom of movement, so these dresses felt too restrictive. I saw no point in getting any one but Mary practically forced me to wear one of the dresses."I don't know, Mary. All the dresses are beautiful, but I do not think I need them," I said softly, not wanting to hurt her feelings."Come on, Blue, this dress looks absolutely stunning on you," Mary insisted.I looked at myself in the mirror, turning side to side and admiring my appearance. She was right, the dress looked perfect on me."Mademoiselle, cette robe est parfaite. We can make any adjustments that you like," Josephine said."There will be no need for any adjustments. I like it. I just don't think I might need it," I told her."Cherrie, every dress will always have an occasion when yo

    Chapter 138 – Blue’s POVThe world outside felt eerily calm as we prepared to set out. Emily’s sobs echoed in my mind as I stood by the window, staring into the night. It was the calm before the storm—a silence that weighed heavily on all of us.Troy’s presence beside me was steadying. He placed a hand on my shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. “We’ll get him back, Blue. We’ll bring Nathan home.”I nodded, steeling myself. “And we’ll finally end this madness.”Emily sat nearby, her face pale and drawn, clutching the last remnants of hope she had. Her brother’s life hung in the balance, and we couldn’t fail.Troy stepped forward, the sword from his uncle’s chest now sheathed at his side. “This might be more than just saving Nathan. If Emily’s right, this man—the one behind all of this—could be tied to the secrets of the cult. He might even be the one who’s been orchestrating the attacks against our pack.”I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in.“You don’t think…?” I he

    TROY’S POV.I opened the door letting Blue inside. It was the room where my dad had kept some of his possessions before he died. I have not been inside here for a while and I felt nostalgic.“What are we doing here?” Blue asked, “You never wanted me in this room,” “Yep but I think it’s important now,” I said walking to where there was a pile of boxes, and underneath was an old wooden chest. I removed all the boxes out of my way and brought out a sword from it, carved by the finest blacksmith, and showed it to Blue. “What’s that got to do with anything,” Blue asked, placing both hands on her side.“It belongs to my uncle,” I said. “ Okay, and? Do you intend to use it to fight off the enemies? Because we have to know who they are before we can fight them.” “Look,” I said while showing Blue the fine craft design embedded on the swords. “You see what is written here?” Blue eyes widen in surprise as she reads the words “Deep in the assay,”“Exactly,” I answered proudly and carefully

    EMILY’S POV. Humming a turn mindlessly, I strolled along the lonely part leading to my house. It was a shortcut that I had not used in a while but today I decided to take that lane because I was exhausted and needed to rest.While walking I noticed an unusual sound and I turned around to see a man standing beside me. He was wearing all black and wore a mask too, so I could only see a part of his face. “Hey, “ I said trying to hide my fear, it was strange to see another person walking in the same lane because it's usually quiet and nobody uses it as much. He did not say anything, so I kept walking fast and trying to be on high alert.The man eventually caught up with him. At this point, the hair on the back of my neck was standing and I did not know if to run or pretend to be brave. So I choose the latter.“Are you sure you did not take anything from that room,” he asked.“What are you talking about?” I asked, walking faster, trying to get away from this creep. “You know exactly

    BLUE’S POV. I went upstairs to tend to my crying babies. I entered the room to find Troy was already there, gently rocking one of the babies side by side and whispering soothing words to both of our little ones. I placed my hands on his shoulder, thankful for his help before going to carry the other baby to breastfeed.I settled into the nearby rocking chair, cradling our second baby close, and chuckled softly. “They like having a lot of attention, don’t they?”He nodded, his gaze shifting between our babies. “They do,” he said, and then smiling softly, he continued ” They are just like their mama, always wanting all of my attention,”“What do you mean?” I pouted, “I definitely do not disturb like this kids,”“Whatever you say, darling, whatever you say,” he responded and kissed my forehead. “They took after their father, not me,” I protested. “I was a sweet little girl growing up and never cried over nothing,” I said proudly.“Even that statement sounds like a lie,” he said cockil

    BLUE’S POV.“Hi, what brought you here, this early? I hope you are okay,” I said to Emily as soon as I walked into the office where she was. I noticed she seemed uncomfortable and bothered about something.“Good morning, Blue,” she greeted, “I am sorry for disturbing you but there is something that I need you to see,” “What is that ?” I asked, curious.“It does not look like much at first sight but I think it holds the answers we have been looking for and hopefully it will help us trace the people who experimented on Alex,” Emily said, then unzipped her backpack and brought out some drawings with strange drawing and a green book which looked like something I have seen before. “Where did you get that book from?” I asked while pointing at it. “My brother gave it to me, he said Alex had lent it to him before his death,” she paused studying my reaction, and then continued, “At first glance, it looks like it has nothing to do with anything that has been happening lately and just any regu

    BLUE’S POV. “Sabrina, Sabrina,” I called out, turning around in the darkness, the place was void and empty and I had been calling her number for what felt like hours even though it was just a couple of minutes. “Sabrina,” I screamed. “Stop being a coward and fucking answer me, Sabrina,” The atmosphere changed and I immediately knew that Sabrina was nearby. “Stop shouting I can hear you quite alright, I am not deaf,” Sabrina said in a soft sing-song manner. “Then what took you so long to answer me? Cause I would have sworn you were going deaf,” I spat in anger.“Easy there now Child, your anger is too much and we don't like it when. People visit our arena with that much anger, it disrupts the balance of my realm,” she said calmly. The way she sounded calmly made me even more angry.“What do you want Child,” she asked softly, “I am guessing I already know why judging from your anger but I would like to hear you speak for yourself,” “Why did you not inform me earlier, you said you w

    EMILY’S POV. I walked up very early in the morning clutching tightly the bag which contained Alex’s drawing and potentially the evidence we needed. I heard the bag tightly throughout the time, afraid that it might disappear or someone would come to steal it from me. I needed to speak with Blue as soon as possible and I went into the shower for a long bath to calm my tired nerves. I got out of the shower and dried my hair when I noticed something was missing. I looked around and the bag was nowhere to be found. I started to panic. Had someone broken into my house when I was bathing? I quickly searched the entire house when I saw Nathan, my younger brother holding the paper in his hands and the other scattered on the ground.“Nathan, what are you doing ?” I shouted at him which startled him. He turned to look at me and immediately he saw my angry expression and said “I am so sorry Emily,” he asked. “What the hell is wrong with you,” I scolded, while arranging all the paper together

    EMILY’S POV. “Don’t even try to lie to me, Emily, I have known you long enough to know when something is bothering you,” Veronica replied, looking at me intensely.“Nothing is on my mind. I am fine,” I responded while wiping my hands dry. “Is it about Alex, because if it is, you know you can talk to me,” I responded. The mention of Alex, felt like she put a dagger through my heart and I could feel the intensity of the pain I had been trying so desperately to avoid and I started crying again. Veronica walked up to me and started hugging me and patting my back. “Is okay sweetie?” he whispered into my ears as I cried into her shoulders, “let it all out?” I sobbed uncontrollably into her arms for what felt like forever. “I don't know if I would ever stop to feel this pain?” I sniffed and I lifted myself from her warm hug to look at her. “I don't know if this pain would ever go away, Veronica. It hurt too much,”“I understand you,” she said as she tucked a loose strand of my hair be
