As Patrick went to prepare coffee in the kitchen, Amethysta and Eira settled on the couch in the living room. Amethysta, unable to contain her worry and relief at seeing Eira safe, sighed big. "Eira, You know what, I was really worried about you today. You didn't come to college, and I couldn't reach you on the phone. I thought something might have happened. Thinking about it gives me a chill."Eira listened to Amethysta's words. She knew how sensitive her friend was. It would be a lie if she said she couldn't smile at her words. Eira's lips pulled out a warm smile seeing her friend's Amethyst eyes showing emotions right now. "I'm sorry, girl. I didn't mean to worry you. You know this is my heat period, and Mateo brought me here and I didn't bring my mobile since I wasn't in the sense at all." Eira said remembering last night. She smiled painfully. Why did she have to go through this? Wasn't she a carefree girl? When did she start to care about someone's attention? Amethysta nodded
After freshening up, Mateo joined the others in the hall and apologized to Patrick for his rush, explaining, "I just needed a quick refresh. Work today was overwhelming, and I felt a bit suffocated."Patrick just nodded, saying, "No problem, Mateo. We understand. Work can be quite demanding sometimes. No need to apologize."Curiosity got the best of Mateo, and he couldn't help but inquire, "So, what brings you all here suddenly?"Patrick smiled half-heartedly and explained, "Well, Amethysta here was worried about Eira and wanted to check up on her, so we decided to pay a visit."It was a simple and heartfelt reason, highlighting the close bond between Amethysta and Eira. They may not be blood-related, but they were certainly family in their own unique way. Patrick and Amethysta got up as Patrick signaled that it was time to leave. Eira and Mateo tried to convince them to stay a bit longer, but Patrick, mindful of the time, declined."Are you sure you have to go? It's getting late." E
Icarus's light chuckle on the other end of the phone made Amethysta's cheeks flush a deep shade of red. The sound of his amusement was enough to elicit such a reaction, even from a distance."Why are you so embarrassed, Angel? Wasn't it normal for you Omegas?" Icarus stated. She became silent. Since she didn't experience those feelings, how could she know? For the first time, a weird thought lingered in her heart, wanting to become an omega for him. "That..." her words stuttered. "Princess, You don't have to feel embarrassed. Not everyone a perverted alpha." his words made her feel the butterflies in her stomach. After a brief moment of silence, Amethysta decided to break it and asked Icarus a rather intriguing question. "Hmm... Icarus, what's it like to have a temporary mark and then a permanent one from an Alpha?" Icarus was momentarily taken aback by the question not only Icarus but also Isaias who was beside Icarus. They exchanged a glance but composed themselves and Icarus ca
Luther sat in his study, his face tensed with the missing trio who were partners in crime throughout the years. The hushed silence spread over the study as he pressed his secretary for updates on the investigation into Jonathan, David, and Samuel, who had been missing for months by now. "Any progress on those three?" Luther's voice was low and authoritative, breaking through the silence of the room.The secretary nodded and assured Luther, "We're digging deep, sir. Gathering every bit of intel we can on their activities."Luther leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes fixed on the secretary. "The Dempsey may be involved in this, Keep a close eye on them. I wanted my three men to be safe and alive." The secretary replied calmly, "Rest assured, Apart from the business activity they are staying low. It seems that they weren't involved in the kidnapping but don't worry, I'm keeping it under my eyes, sir." A small smirk rested across the secretary's lips which was unnoticed by Luther.
The hum of the car engine accompanied Jacob's contemplative thoughts as he drove away from Luther's house, And dialled the certain number waiting for the person to pick it up.And he was preoccupied with the thoughts of how Luther behaved today, totally a strange one. It should be his responsibility to protect the people who trust him but today, he made an obvious move that he didn't care about the pack people at all. the silence was interrupted by the hoarse voice through his phone. He glanced at the screen, it seemed Icarus picked it up. "Icarus? What's up?" Jacob answered, the confusion evident in his voice.Icarus' voice crackled through the phone, raspy and worn, "Hey, Jacob, It's been a while buddy. We're holding up. How about you?"Jacob replied calmly, "I'm good, just dealing with pack stuff. How's Dad? And Isaias."There was a hesitation in Icarus' response, "As always, Just spending his time here and there holding mom's memories.""It must be hard for him, right." Jacob pre
"Luther is targeting Dad now." Icarus's serious tone was clear evidence of how much rage he was holding against the pack leader. "How did you know?" Isaias gritted his teeth, not liking the fact that the old hag was plotting again. "Jacob called me and informed me. We should be careful in the future. He will do anything to hide his crimes." Isaias clenched his fist harshly, his muscles tightened with the contraction. "Seems like, he wanted his old friends to be treated better." Isaias chuckled. The light, low-pitched chuckle in his raspy manly voice, was dangerous yet sexy. "Seems so," Icarus shrugged his shoulder off, swirling the steering. "We should get ready, a little before going to meet her. What do you say?" Icarus added. "Nice idea. But I will choose the outfit." Isaias demanded, Icarus nodded. Icarus swirled the steering and drove the car to the shop. Amethysta swirled the glass of her mocktail, eyes fixed on the bubbles rising to the surface. The bar, once a lively envi
Mateo pulled Eira into his arms, and as soon as she recognised the person, she pushed him away harshly with a yelp, his fingers scratched her forearm. "Don't you fucking get close to me? I... I will sue you for harassment." here goes another drama. The manager pops onto the scene, quite late though. "Mister, you are disturbing the others, please can you leave?" He politely asked but received a dead glare from the younger. Mateo inhaled before forcibly taking Eira out of the bar. He throws the younger in the car who yelped again but this time, a small yelp turns out to be a loud whimper. Mateo got inside the car and only received a hard punch from the younger. "Stop it, Eira. Don't be bratty." Mateo held her both wrists together, causing her to quiver. "Bratty, you say. Do you know the old Eira? You didn't. I was loyal to you, until the moment you left me after the heat. So what, you helped me but after that day, things changed. What do you take me for, a slut or a whore to get laid
"I... I will freshen up first." Amethysta stuttered. She wasn't used to staying alone with a stranger, an alpha, to be precise. She wasn't scared but kinda nervous. Amethysta, a bit flustered, headed to freshen up, leaving Isaias to chuckle at her nervousness. After a brief moment, she returned, settling across from Isaias. The earthy scent of the alpha eased her tension, creating a comforting environment around her. Isaias handed over soup to him. "Here you go" Sharing hangover soup, they broke the silence with Isaias playfully teasing her about the night she got wasted. "You know what, You were about to make a scene if we... I... If I didn't come there to stop you."Amethysta blushed, Being embarrassed in front of the man she liked, it was worse for her right now. "I... Eira was asked to meet me." "That's what I'm saying, you called me but got wasted before I could join you. That's so rude of you, Princess." Isaias's low-pitched voice definitely did something to the latter. Isai
"The final exams are coming, we should focus on our studies." Isabella leaned on the bench with a loud huff. Just a few minutes ago only, the professor informed the students of the students. Amethysta's fingers flee across the mobile, texting someone. "And we are going to finish the college already." She murmured. "After exams, I'm gonna go out with Mateo on his business trip." Eira was thinking of the plan already since Mateo had told her about the new business proposal from East Land, even though it was unusual since no one ever made any collaboration with East Land. Since they were named for how cruelty. Eira was unaware of the latter information. She was just happy about a journey with Mateo. Meanwhile, Amethysta couldn't shake off the feeling that something really bad was going to happen. "I'm really jealous of you." Isabella pouted. The duo chuckled at how dramatic the college belle was. "Isabella, Professor Zephyr is calling you." One of the classmate shouted from the class
The twins' expressions changed into something they couldn't explain. It was true that they had a hunch that their mother was alive somewhere. But Samuel's words gave a small spark in their hope. "Are you sure about it?" Isaias grabbed Samuel's collar, bringing him to his feet. "Open your damn mouth, Bastard.""I'm... I'm not sure, but that day she escaped from us, and we couldn't find her. Moreover, the direction she escaped, Patrick's lab is located in that direction. We tried to break in, but he didn't let us. And all these years, we couldn't enter his lab even though we did all the dirty things," Isaias's grip slipped, and Samuel fell on the floor with a loud thud. The twins thought Patrick had an important role in their mother's death, but it was the most crucial clue they had got. Their mother might be alive and the scientist might be researching her. Millions of unwanted thoughts fogged their mind. Icarus gave a small squeeze on his brother's shoulder and whispered. "We will
"David was dead, Master." The man in black informed, hung his head down, facing the satisfied twins in front of them. "So, explain me, how was he when he was dying?" Isaias slightly leaned his head on the wall, overlapping his hand on his firm chest. "He was starved....," The man's explanation was stopped by Icarus. The man's body wasn't trembling as he was started to explain what he had been witnessing. The man continued. "He was strong at first. He fought against it. But no one can fight hunger for long." He paused, fixing his eyes on Icarus, The latter's lips formed a mischievous smile as the man's eyes met him. "I did a job of giving him a scraps—small bits of bread, a spoonful of watery soup, and just enough water to stop him from dying of thirst. He ate it Slowly. Desperately."Again, the satisfied expression plastered on the twins' face. Even though they weren't here to witness David's slow dying, one of the people who framed their innocent mother. "At first," the man said,
"Drag that witch out!"The command rang out in the silent night as Dareen opened the door by the sound of continuous. A group of people barged into his home, grabbing his wife and claiming it was under the pack leader's orders."Luther, what are you doing?" Dareen shouted, trying to run after them.Before he could take another step, someone kicked his knees, forcing him to fall. Rough hands pinned him to the ground."Let me go, you bastards!" he yelled, struggling, but it was no use.His eyes frantically searched the group until they landed on a face he knew all too well. Betrayal hit him like a blow."Jonathan," he said, his voice breaking. "How could you do this to me? I'm your brother, and she's your sister-in-law!"Tears filled Dareen's eyes as pain and disbelief consumed him. His own family had turned against him.A scream broke through the chaos-his wife's voice, full of fear and agony, as the pack dragged her away."Dareen, help me!" Hannah cried out. "Get your filthy hands of
"You shouldn't be here and Shouldn't talk to her." A hoarse voice echoed behind Icarus causing him frown. His bright smile faded away, annoyance reflected well on his face. Icarus turned to face the owner of the voice, There he was, Mateo Nicolas. "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Why should I hear you? She is my woman and I've all right on her." Icarus proudly spoke. "Your woman? Aren't your dream going out of hands, Icarus Dempsey?" "What do you want?" Rubbing his temples, Icarus made an attempt to leave the place. "Does she know about why you are here? There are hushed whispers of some words, the Dempsey twins are back for revenge. Isn't it true? So why don't you just focus on your shits rather than chasing our pack's omega."Icarus scoffed, eyes flaring the hate. "Or you might be taking advantage of an innocent girl" Icarus grabbed Mateo's collar, blood rushing to his head. "Temptation of the fresh omega, Are you that much eager to let her laid? Or planning to share her with your twin." Icarus wa
"It was a close call, you know. I thought she heard my conversation with Joseph." Isaias pulled up his hair, groaning hardly at the person in front of him. Icarus calmly replied, "Be happy that she didn't hear anything. I don't want her to get suspicious about us, and we had to deal with the Patrick thing as well." "Yeah! You are right." Isaias flopped on the couch, eyes closing tiredly. --------------------------Amethysta sat on the edge of her bed, her heart sinking into the pit of darkness. Patrick had just told her something she never thought she would hear."Luther proposed a marriage," he said, his voice gruff but laced with concern. "He wants you to marry Laurent."The room had fallen silent after that. Amethysta stared at her father, speechless for a moment, her mind racing. Her heart couldn't cope with what she had heard, almost staggered. "I didn’t agree to it right away," he continued after a pause, rubbing the back of his neck, fully frustrated by the sudden proposal.
Isaias leaned against the wall of the mall, a smirk tugging at his lips as he thanked Joseph over the phone. “Dropping those bodies in front of Luther’s house was genius. You did an amazing work, Joseph.”He chuckled, satisfied with the chaos he had helped to create. But just as he was about to say more, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. His smirk vanished as he turned, his eyes widening in surprise.It was Amethysta, standing right in front of him. She stood there, an innocent look on her face, clearly unaware of the conversation she had just interrupted. Isaias immediately hung up the phone, slipping it into his pocket as fast as he could.“Princess,” he greeted her with a forced smile, his voice warm but slightly tight. “What are you doing here?”She tilted her head. “I was just shopping with my friends. What about you? I was surprised when I saw you here.” Even though Amethysta didn't hear the conversation Isaias had, his voice drew her towards him, And the solicitude famil
Icarus dropped the curtain and stepped away from the window, running a hand through his hair. His eyes flicked toward the mess outside, the bloodstains on the ground, and the mangled body of the feral alpha lying lifeless. He sighed, pulling out his phone and scrolling to Joseph’s contact. This was the last thing he wanted to deal with tonight, but there was no choice. His father couldn’t see this.After a few rings, Joseph picked up.“Icarus? Do you need something? At this hour?” Joseph’s voice was groggy as if he'd been woken up.“There’s been... an incident outside the house,” Icarus said, with an edge of frustration. “A feral alpha showed up. It's dead now, but there's a mess, and I need someone to clean it up before morning. My father can’t see this when he steps outside.”There was a pause on the other end, and Icarus could almost hear Joseph processing the situation and the rustling sound as if he got up from the bed abruptly. "What the hell? Was that Luther's work? If that is
It had been more than a week since the police department had called back the regular patrols around the city. The streets felt different now, heavier with fear. The feral alpha wolves were multiplying at an alarming rate, feeding the fear in the neighbourhood. The once-safe streets were now dangerous, especially at night, and everyone was on edge about this matter. People were scared, too scared to leave their homes after sunset.Luther hadn’t said a word about the growing threat as he was the one who withdrew the police from the patrolling. It was odd. And the twins knew what he was up to, sending the ferals for them, to kill them, maybe more than that. That evening, the street was quieter than usual. An eerie silence had settled over the place, the kind that prickled the skin and sent shivers down your spine. The streets were empty, the occasional stray dogs barking in the distance. There was a growling sound, low and deep, barely audible but unmistakable to anyone who knew what
