"I heard a rumor about your blood and came looking for you here," She said, looking around afraid. My broad furrowed. Was she running away from someone? I noticed a small duffle bag on her shoulder and the condition of her clothes. She didn't look so good. "Where do you live?" I asked and she seemed scared by my question. Something sank inside me as I gently held her arm and pulled her shirt up. She has the same scars as mine. My heart stumbled into the deepest tunnel as I continued to stare at the scars. "Who?" I whispered. She was still looking around scared so I quickly let her in. I took her inside, closing the door. I made her sit in the lounge as I brought water for her. She thanked me quickly, chugging down the water. "Drink slowly, it's not going anywhere," I assured her and poured some more for her when she finished it. She thanked me after drinking. I sat beside her, still trying to wrap my head around reality. I remember that my father told me about my pack. He said w
April's pov. Jason had informed Connor not to let this information out as we have to keep Jenna safe. Jason and I had looked for an apartment for her. We rented it out for her. It's very close to our house. She didn't want us to pay the deposit so I assured her not to worry about it. She could return the favor by keeping herself safe and happy. Jenna was happy and looked so relieved. Seeing her like this made me happy as well. I bought some furniture for her and filled her kitchen. She was so thankful. On the other hand, Jason had called Ethan and they've been looking into this black market and the rogues that were running this business. I bought a few clothes for Jenna and she requested me to look for a job for her. I told her to rest for a couple of days but she persisted in working sooner so both of us looked for a job for her together. She told me she never got to continue her study after her mother died and her father lost all his money in debt. I asked her if she wants to
My brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" I asked worriedly. "Three of our pack members were found dead near the territory. The pack doctor said that the reason for their death is magic. The rumor that witches are attacking werewolves is spreading like wildfire," Lily said and my heart stuttered in an unknown fear. "But the last of their kind is dead. How is it possible that they are still alive?" I asked. "I don't know if it's true or not but these rumors are spreading like wildfire. I'm afraid things would take an ugly turn if we didn't take action against it soon," She said. She seemed genuinely worried. "Don't worry Lily, everything will get better. Jason had told me that Alpha King Logan had been looking into this matter, and a week back a dead body was found in Julie's pack as well," I informed her. "I'm just scared. I'm not even taking out Oliver in the park because of the fear of these witches," She said. We talked a bit more and I assured her not to worry too much.
The loud yelling and screaming from outside had me sitting upright rather abruptly. I hurried to the window in my sleepy state to see the commotion only for my eyes to widen in surprise when I found a crowd of people charging forward on our street. "April!" The door burst open as Jason hurried inside. "Are you alright?" He grabbed my arms pulling me to his chest making sure I was alright. "I'm fine. What's all this commotion outside?" I asked. "Dozens of our people were found dead at the back of the alley," Jason said and my heart dropped. "What?" I whispered shakily. "They all are killed in the same way as the other dead bodies earlier. At first, we were sure it was done by a serial killer but this time there was a note with the dead bodies. It was confirmed that witches are behind these murders," Jason explained. I felt like my head was spinning. Just when everything is getting better, evil has to come back into our lives. "Where... Where are these people going?" I asked. "
April's pov. "This zone is dangerous. All the medics and backups would not cross this line," King Logan said while pointing at the redline on the map. The war has already started. There was a humongous amount of pressure and tension on every single person. This war was a matter of life and death and their whole species was on the line. "What happened to the troops we sent out last night?" Leon asked, pointing to a spot on the map where they had sent the troops. "They were killed!" Alpha Antonio spat. "What?" Jason snarled. "Our plan was perfect and how is it possible that not even one of our troop members survived?" Ethan asked. "Mole!" Jason gritted. "This explains why we are being defeated on every step, they already know what we are about to do, it's like we are sending our men to get slaughtered," Leon spat. "The plan we discussed right now. If this got out. We would know that the mole is from one of us," Ethan said. "And I'll make sure to kill that bastard," Jason grate
"Shhh baby," He whispered, caressing my back as I sniffed trying to control my sobs. I was all strong and composed but hearing Jason talking to Connor about my safety if anything happened to him just constricted my heart in pain. This made me realize how dangerous the situation was and how it could badly harm us. I couldn't even think about losing Jason. The thought of it had my body shivering in fright. God forbid if anything happened to him I might not be able to survive the heartache. I didn't want to go down those lanes of thought. "April," Jason cupped my cheek as he pulled me back to look at my face. I lowered my head, the quivering of my chin wasn't in my control as more tears brimmed my eyes blurring my vision. He tucked my hair behind my ear, raising my face but I kept my eyes closed. I didn't want Jason to see me like this, all broken and scared because it might affect his mindset for the battle tomorrow but my emotions weren't in my control and Jason was all I had with w
The next morning I woke up alone in the bed at the alarm I'd set. The sheets beside me were cold. Jason has left. I faintly remembered him kissing my lips as he whispered I love you. I thought it was a dream but it was real. Jason has left. I got out of bed noticing a small sticky note on the side table. 'Angel, I'm leaving. Don't worry about me. Do your job well and save as many lives as you could but don't overdo yourself. I'm proud of you. Love you the most. Forever yours,Jason.'My lower lip puckered out and I felt like crying. Controlling my emotions I got to my feet. I had to do my part. Once this was over, Jason and I would start a new life. I quickly showered and wore the uniform that I prepared for myself and my team as I left home. I met Jenna and my team outside the pack house. Grabbing the weapons for our safety we took our bags and headed to our destination. As soon as we got there we found out that the battle was almost to its end and many of the warriors were com
I don't know for how long I stayed in the hospital helping the survivors. I was so tired. My eyes kept glancing outside hoping that Jason would show up somehow but no matter how much time passed he didn't show up. Ethan was badly injured as Susan and I were treating him. We bandaged him up and he also started to heal because I fed him some of my blood secretly when he was unconscious rather than the capsule for quick healing. Ethan was awake now. "April," He whispered as I glanced at him. "Before the battle, Jason gave me this. He wanted me to give it to you when the battle ends," He said slowly because of pain, handing me a crumpled piece of paper that I took from him. Despair shadowed his features. I took the paper from him with shaky hands. "April you should go home and rest," Susan said, rubbing my arm as I gave her a faint nod. I hobbled out of the hospital. My team members greeted me but I quietly walked past them. I took a cab home. Throughout the way, I kept staring
