Ximena

I ran nonstop for hours, Xena my wolf wasn’t weary as she ran and it was a big shock to me because I had never ran for up to an hour without being weak.

After crossing the borders of the Shadow pack, I was filled with fear. Lots of vile things lurked in the shadows and where I was heading to was unknown to me but Xena knew the way by heart. She was heading to grandmother. 

“Grandmother— I—“ I whispered as I shifted in front of a house where my beautiful and young grandmother stood.

She looked like an angel and it was no secret that she never aged because of the strange powers she had.

The Shadow pack was a pack known for its ruthlessness, insane and deadly wolves. Most rogues come from the shadow pack and not everyone can enter the pack without turning feral.

“Ximena.” Her angelic voice made me feel warmth like no other and I nodded, tears of joy streaming down my face as I walked towards her, naked.

The house had an eerie feeling around it, it was bright, yet dark. She smiled at me as she opened her arms, welcoming me.

“Grandmother.” I whispered, biting my lips softly as the tears streamed down. This was our first encounter and how she managed to recognize me was nothing short of supernatural.

“I— I—“

“Shh, you don’t need to speak, child, I know why you’re here. Come with me.” She whispered and I felt my heart grow bigger, I was perplexed but my joy knew no bounds. I felt series of emotions

She led me into the large house where there were few staff working around and I was bothered. How could my grandmother be so rich yet my family was living on peanuts in the Armstrong Pack?

What happened between mother and grandmother that made mother hate her so much and warn us about her.

Mother said grandmother was a witch of a wolf and we never entertained conversation about her at home but why my wolf brought me to her gave me concern and I was afraid but happy to see her.

“This is your room, I prepared it before your arrival.” My mouth dropped. This room was bigger than our house but how did she know I was coming?

“How did you—“ 

“We are connected.” Grandmother replied and I raised a brow. 

“What do you mean?” I asked. 

“Go in and get dressed, you must be stressed. You should rest too.” She replied and walked away with a smile. With shaky legs, I walked inside.

I gasped with shock. “Xena, why did you bring me here? Grandmother is dangerous— She’s strange too—“ I whispered to Xena.

“She can help you, I didn’t bring you here, she called you here because you were hurt.” Xena replied and I gasped with shock.

Now mother’s words made sense, grandmother was a powerful witch and I was gripped with fear. “She would never hurt you. Don’t be scared.” Xena advised and I nodded because her words had never been wrong, except for when we got mated—

I pushed that thought out of my head, my heart was still in shreds but coming here must be to forget him and I’ll try my best to do just that.

I opened the bathroom and was shocked to see all sorts of soaps, this was the luxurious life I always prayed for and it gave me concern that I would be here alone while mother and father suffered in the Armstrong pack.

I needed to know why mother and grandmother are enemies, I must know why I was here too— Grandmother had answers to lots of things, maybe she could also answer why I was rejected by a man who swore to love me.

I sighed heavily as I grabbed the towel, heading into the bathroom. This was my first time in a bathtub, the feeling was crazy, it was filled with water and I had the most refreshing and relaxed bath ever in my life.

A long time passed before I got out and headed to the room. I saw a nice dress placed on the bed, it was brand new and a tear slipped out of my eyes, this was my first time wearing a new cloth.

All of my clothes were thrifted or hand-me-downs from the rich. I wore the dress and smiled at myself in the mirror.

I looked different, more beautiful, my eyes were different, they were empty,  without sparks and I sighed heavily.

I wore slippers and walked out, staring around the house as I tried to find grandmother. I kept walking around, too intimidated and scared to ask anyone for help and my mouth dropped when I saw a portrait.

It was mother, she was smiling at grandmother, her eyes were sparkling, they were filled with joy, she looked young and beautiful, she had no wrinkles on her face.

“She was a very beautiful and cheerful soul.” Grandmother whispered and I almost jumped out of fright.

“I— I have a few questions.” I whispered softly. “Come with me, child.” Grandmother replied and I turned, following her to the place which seemed like the living room.

I saw countless portraits of mom and she looked gorgeous, young and very beautiful, it was almost hard for me to believe.

“Sit.”

“Grandmother— I— I want to know what happened between you and mother.” I whispered carefully. “Your mother left because she didn’t want me the powers I had to offer.” It seemed like there was more to it but she wasn’t ready to talk and I decided it was best to let it go.

“I— I—“ I broke into tears before I could say any word and she moved closer. 

“Shhh.” She cajoled as she placed my head on her shoulder, my heart swelled with warmth.

“Why? Why did he reject me— He vowed to love his mate— Why would he just reject me? He rejected me in front of everyone at the market—lI whispered, desperately wanting answers as the rejection echoed in my head.

“It doesn’t matter why anymore, what matters now is you. What do you want? Say all you want, child and it’ll be done.” She muttered softly and I frowned, wondering what she was talking about.

“All you need to do is say the word, do you want him to love you? Do you want revenge? Do you want him to suffer? Should I make him go feral? Should he go crazy? Should I kill him?” She asked and I gasped.

“You— You can do that?” I asked, a part of me trying to figure out which option would be best as I weighed both the good and bad.

“And more child. Just name it, I can kill, manipulate, destroy and make him feral, it takes nothing to do it child.” She replied softly and I gasped, understanding why mother said grandmother was dangerous, she was more than just dangerous.

“No, don’t do it Ximena— Let the goddess fight for you, she will repay him for what he did.” Xena pleaded and a small smile appeared on my face.

“Vengeance is mine to decide, Xena.”

“Kill him, grandmother.” I whispered nervously, trying to balance my raging emotions.

Grandmother stared at me without a word, leaving me to make the decision myself and I nodded firmly.

“Yes, kill the Alpha grandmother.” I replied sternly as bitterness spread across my heart, turning my fragile pure heart into a dark huge rock.

He’d be crazy to think I wouldn’t go in there.I was fretting badly and her agonised sounds made my heart ache.Dhruv held my hand tightly, refusing to let me inside and when I managed to push Dhruv away, the guards at the entrance stopped me from entering.“Dhruv, I need to be there! She’s in there, suffering.” I muttered, feeling very scared and Dhruv sighed heavily, holding me tightly.“Get a grip of yourself, Alpha. It’s wrong for you to be in there, I’m sure the Luna would be fine, please get yourself together.” Dhruv pleaded and the midwife dashed out.“The Luna has refused to push until she sees the Alpha!” The midwife announced, sweating profusely as she glanced around for

    Ximena Six years later.Walking out of the pack house, I smiled softly as I made my way to the house. I was now one of the most respected female warriors and I owed it to grandmother.She had groomed me so well, it felt like I had killed my old self just to bring out this new person. The good in me had saved the Alpha eventually because I couldn’t stand seeing Xena in pain. He should forever be grateful for that.Although I still regretted not killing him.I wouldn’t be a monster like him and cause pain to Xena. Walking down the isolated path, I scented a different blood.It was fresh, vibrant and completely different from the dark ones that lurked around in the pack and I stopped.I turned around slowly, trying to figure out who was following me but I saw nothing and I turned around again. I took a few steps and concluded that something or someone was following me.“Who are you— Show yourself before I kill you!” I barked harshly and to my shock, a little boy walked ou

    XimenaThe slap could’ve made the old me stagger in shock but I stood my ground, my teeth gritted with my hands fisted as I stared at Eloise with fury.“How dare you stare at the Alpha like that? Have some respect! He’s a fucking Alpha and you’re nothing but a guard, you should never look at him!” Eloise scolded and I scoffed with anger.She was the Alpha’s only sister and she behaved like she was the owner of the world. Everything about her reeked of pride and it was fucking disgusting to be around her. Her aura made my skin crawl with disdain.“Why did you come back? I’m sure you heard the Alpha was around that was why you rushed back.” She accused me and I scoffed, too bothered to even think of the Alpha who had already left.“I have nothing to say to you.” I replied as I turned around to leave but she held me back, making my anger triple.“Where are you running to? Are you going to run after him? Is this how desperate you are? You know nobody in this pack is going to be with you b

That pack is very dangerous— They have a bipolar Alpha—“ Dhruv’s voice was filled with concern and I sighed heavily.“There’s nothing I can do! My pack is in danger— My pack members have lived in fear for the past three years, they can’t live their lives in fear— I need to do something. I don’t care if they have a feral Alpha, as long as he can help!” I replied sternly, feeling angered that he was trying to dissuade me from choosing the most effective but dangerous way to save the pack.“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have crossed the line.” He whispered, bowing slightly and I nodded. He walked out and I slumped on the chair, using my hands to crease the worries out of my forehead.Going to the Shadow pack had been a very dangerous decision but just like I did what I had to do for my pack six years ago by rejecting my mate and getting mated to a woman of powerful background, I was going to give all it takes

That was the best way he could convince me? By lying and making me crazy with worry?” I retorted with anger.“You’ve ignored their words for six years, Ximena. They were desperate, they love us so much to lie just to get us back—“ She tried to explain but no explanation was justifiable for what had happened.“No. That was too extreme and I meant every word I said to them. I’m never returning back to the pack and I mean it.” I replied vehemently and I heard Xena whimper sadly.Not even her sad cries would make me go back, my mind is made up already. “Why? It’s been six years and not once have you felt anything after the rejection. The bond has been severed and even if you see

I know you have to go, it’s your destiny and not even a few years of hiding can stop it.” She replied and I furrowed my brows, wondering why she was speaking in parables now.“What do you mean?”“When the time is ripe, you will know. Take good care of yourself, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me, I have lots of people here with me. Focus on helping the pack.” She replied and I nodded, hugging her tightly while the guard announced his arrival with the honking of the car.“I love you so much, Grandmother. Thank you so much for making me the warrior I am.” I whispered softly, my heart melting into one big puddle of sadness as I let go of her reluctantly.Sluggishly, I made my way to the car but I couldn’t stop turning around to stare at her while she waved at me with a big

I stared at mother for an answer but she was too emotional to speak and I turned to my brothers.“He was attacked when he followed you that night— The rogues attacked him.” Kushim whispered softly and my tears intensified.It was all my fault. I was being a big fool and now Dad’s life is in danger— I’m a bad daughter, I don’t deserve them.“Argh!” I yelled as hot tears gushed out of my eyes, the more, Xena was whimpering with agony but we both knew this was all my fault.“Dad, please— it’s all my fault, I was a fool— I should never have— Why didn’t anyone tell me!” I yelled painfully.“He warned us not to tell you— He didn’t want to bother you.” This only brought more sadness to me.

I also realized that he was from this pack, I hadn’t asked which pack he was from and his family had visited the Shadow pack to strike the deal.“Wh— What are you talking about?” I asked, sniffing and he released my legs, moving to my favorite spot and patted it for me to sit.I was too stunned to say a word so I had to sit. “What are you doing here? How did you know I’d be here?” I stared at him intently and he smiled softly.“I don’t know, I just had a hunch, I told you previously that my instincts are always right.” He replied and I stared at him intently, this has got to be some crazy kid because why the heck would he be hovering around me and call it instincts?There was a strange thing about him, this kid felt like a part of me for odd reasons and the connection was insane even though I tried to ignore

    XimenaI was facing alpha Alvaro in his office with a frown. I looked terrible because my hair was scattered, my eyes were red and I had dark spots underneath.I couldn’t sleep throughout the night because I couldn’t stop thinking about the Rogue king. “Ximena…”“I need answers, I want to know why Alpha Gonzalo and the Rogue king are after me. I need to know.” I replied, staring at him intently and he exhaled.“I’m equally confused. I don’t know what to think…”“I need a reason…” My voice softened. “The Rogue king has been terrorizing packs long before I was born but never for once has there been rumors of him trying to capture any wolf so he could mark her. What is it? Why am I suddenly wanted by multiple powerful men?” I was in utter confusion and he walked towards me, placing his hands on me.“I’m equally confused, Ximena. Nobody knows what the rogue king is thinking, he’s not telling his followers enough information and all we can do is try to catch him but that is proving to be

    XimenaI was returning from the Shadow pack, driving through the empty road when I sniffed a different scent in the air.I had paid grandmother a visit and although I'd have loved to spend a full day with her, I couldn’t. Everything felt different, I knew it was outside of the packs but the air here was always clean, pure and nice but today it seemed polluted in a way.I couldn’t explain but there was a lot, countless things had changed. It bothered me more than it was supposed to.Maybe I was being overly cautious. “Xena… I don’t feel safe…” I whispered softly as I stepped on the pedals, increasing my speed.“Let’s try our best to reach the pack. Seems like something dark is lurking around but don’t stop!” She replied and I nodded, driving crazily.I was so close to the border when I saw a figure crossing the road. I slammed my legs on the brakes, my car screeching to a halt.The sudden halt made me jerk out of my seat but with the seatbelt holding me down, it was only my hair that

    Ximena I couldn’t stop thinking about Alvaro, everything in the house reminded me of him. I decided to take the day off because I felt like a fool.Remembering the words I had said to him, my cheeks heated up, I was about to die of embarrassment on my bed.“Why the fuck would you say such words to him, Ximena.” I questioned myself.“Because you’re in love.” Xena replied and I rolled my eyes.“Oh please, not everything is love. Can you remember the sex I had with Mark, why didn’t you call it love?” I demanded.“Because it wasn’t love, it was because of your heat and it wasn’t good enough but Alvaro… Alvaro, girl you’re about to have the fucking best time of your life.” She exaggerated and I just shook my head slowly.“Ximena, stop trying to complicate things. This isn’t love, it’s more like attraction because we are always in compromising situations. I can assure you it’s anything but love.” I replied and Xena giggled.“It’s more than just attraction. You know it deep down but you pre

    Alvaro I couldn’t stop staring at Ximena as she read a book to Juan who was slowly drifting to sleep. He looked happy, his eyes were glowing and for the first time in his life, he felt something so close to maternal love. I was so pleased. This was what a family was like and it fueled my resolve to make Juan experience family. I would stop at nothing until I made Ximena my wife and I knew it’d take nothing to him to start acknowledging her as his mother. I wanted to give him a mother so desperately, he deserved a big family. “Good night son.” I whispered softly as I placed a small kiss on his head while Ximena closed the book. She placed it on his small table and rose slowly, her face was flushed and I could tell that she was emotional. It was evident that this was her first time reading a book to a kid but she was so perfect at it. Motherhood was a lot but for her, it seemed like she was born to be a mother, to have kids and love them unconditionally. There was a lot of tensi

Her son is lying on a sick bed, battling for his life and you’re here in the arms of your lowlife mate! What am I saying! All these are adding up! My sister was poisoned and now her son is facing the same thing. I think we all know who the culprit is here but you’ve been blinded already! Ever since she came into this pack, she began misleading you!” Emiliano yelled and I felt Alvaro’s muscle tense for a moment.“Emiliano, watch your words!” He announced lowly, a warning tone in h

I stayed at the reception and watched as everyone went by their business.I wished I could see Dhruv or any doctor who I could speak with before entering inside. I was trembling with worry and Emiliano’s words echoed in my ears.“Oh please, stop pretending. They’ve visited that restaurant numerous times but the very first time they go with you, Juan gets attacked. Do you want to tell me you have nothing to do with this?”“Are you really going to listen to Emiliano Of all people?” Xena demanded and I exhaled.“I’m trying not to but there’s nothing I can do. Since I came to the pack Juan had always been fine… Someone knew we were at the restaurant together and I’m sure the person is behind this. Someone is trying to make me take the blame for all these. And now I don’t know what the Alpha might be thinking…”“Alpha Alvaro isn’t like that. He won’t accuse you of something you know nothing about. If

    Ximena I avoided eye contact with everyone immediately I entered the house, Alpha Alvaro had ended up walking with me to the house and everyone stared at me.I could feel their inquisitive gaze prickle my skin as I headed towards my room. “Goodnight mom.” I mumbled and they all burst into laughter.“All secrets will be revealed eventually, it’s just a matter of time.” I heard Aarav mumble, I almost scowled at him but decided to go to bed.“Let's give it time, how about a month or three weeks.” Kushim added as they both burst into laughter.I paused for a moment but continued walking.I locked the door immediately I entered the room and threw myself on the bed, exhaling deeply as I tried to calm my racing heart.My palms covered my face as my cheeks burned, I needed no one to tell me I was blushing.“What the heck is wrong with me? Family dinners now, what’s next?” I asked myself even though I knew the answer.I hit my cheeks softly, I tried to get alpha Alvaro out of my head but it w

    Alvaro“Are you still worried about the rogue king?” Dhruv asked and I nodded. We were both in my office, trying to settle the ledger but I kept getting distracted.I couldn’t stop thinking about Ximena. She was in danger, she needed protection. “She’s in danger. I don’t know why but I can’t shake off the feeling, why do you think the Rogue king wants her? What about Gonzalo? Why does he want her? Everything is just too suspicious.” I replied as I stood up and walked towards the window.I searched for her among the guards and a smile appeared on my face when my gaze rested on her. She stood out in the crowd and my smile broadened.“Maybe because she’s beautiful… This is the only reason I can think of. She’s beautiful and she’s a skilled warrior, they want her to fight for them. I’m sure Alpha Gonzalo has tried to poach her.” I clenched my fists in anger.That bastard, he was too greedy and it infuriated me.“I don’t think it’s because she’s beautiful… She’s beautiful but there must be

If they weren’t trying to kill me then they were torturing me before killing me.I found myself getting surrounded and as I tried to fight back, It felt like I was getting pulled away from the rest of the pack.Something was wrong, I could feel it and Xena was worried too. This wasn’t normal. No rogue would spare a wolf, except they had ulterior motives.I was slowly getting cut out of the pack and I began to holler, alerting the others and it was only a matter of time before everyone came to my rescue.They slayed the rogues and while the rest retreated, they were able to capture one who was filled with f
