It had been half a year since that faithful day yet Jett felt more inert than alive. This wasn't the victory he endeavored,"How does it taste?" Xavier's voice abruptly reverberated in his head, mocking."It's bitter!" Jett finally answered six months later, locked up his office, sampling a red wine spiked with wolfbane, the only thing eligible for knocking the senses out from a werewolf, Jett made sure to cram his drink an overdose of it.Was Xavier dead?Jett drunkenly snickered, the question resounding in his head, circulating, reiterating itself another thousand times for the past six months, the question seeming to be deriding him now.Xavier has to be dead, it was the only explainable reason why he hadn't been spotted, not even once in the past six months. No one knew his whereabouts, it was like he had ceased from existence the moment he stepped out from Blood Pearl pack.Wasn't that what you wanted?An all too familiar voice rang over his ears, reminding him
Peering through his files of the pack, Jett didn't anticipate the person that waltzed into his office as if he owned it. Jett didn't acknowledge him, flipping through file after file.Arthur scoffed. The mettle of this little alpha, ignoring his presence.The tall alpha tilted his head, he gawked down at the white hair Alpha. It has been six months since he last saw him and he couldn't say nothing had changed because everything had changed, especially with a certain alpha with a permanent grimace on his forehead. "If you frown too much, you will look twice your age" he notified with an amused grin on his lips. Jett didn't lift his head as he uttered in a depleted tone. "If you are here for Kai, I told you already, I won't let you have him till he's of age"Arthur shook his head, feeling pitiful for the other male. "I'm not here for Kai, I'm here for something else""I'm not interested" Jett verbalized dismissively. Nothing would heave him from his seat. If possible, he wanted to sold
The Stone, which was called the Moonstone, passed from father to son, going through epochs after epoch, preserved, sheltered, yielded by one person each generation, and Jett was allowed to keep the moonstone safe before passing it to his son.He sighed, his shoulders plunging as his gaze remained cemented to the stone lounging on an altar, glistening free, cramming the space with a light brighter than the sun. A moonstone? It was declared to hold powers beyond the proficiency of men. It could erode, and at the same time, it could restore, bringing abundance to the land that's bared it. Was it true? Jett didn't know. The stone was vital, that was what his father told him, making him pledge his life to keep it protected, even at the cost of his life, the people believed the stone brought merits to their lands, they worshipped it because it had a connection with the goddess. Was Jett ready to lose it? For Xavier? Jett was ready to lose everything as long as he would have him in his ar
"NO!" His voice reverberated around the cave, the wind dragging it far and boisterous.Jett hew to his knees, watching as the light slowly withered till there was nothing left glittering, just a broken stone with no power.The mighty moonstone was no more!Ogling at the pieces, Jett felt a tear drop roll down his cheek, one turned into two, followed by many more, trailing down his cheeks continuously, staining the dry floor of the cave.Again, he had failed without trying. A tiny laugh decamped his lips, once again realizing how much of a blunder he was. He couldn't insulate the stone his father had passed unto him, he couldn't save Xavier and it was all because he was incompetent, reacting only when it was too late, coming to a realization when everything was already crashing before his eyes. Gray scoffed, his silver eyes holding travesty, gawking down at the defeated form of the white hair Alpha. "How disappointing, I was expecting something more challenging, not a pathetic Alpha,
Without knocking, he nudged on the door, opening it and strolling inside without an invite, his Plutonian eyes instantly landing on the person he seek, crouching on the bed, elbows rested on his knees, hands clenched together, body leaned forward and head downward. He took in the shabby form of the white hair Alpha. His clothes and body were smudged with parched blood that wasn't his.Stefan's presence in the room was excluded, he decided to make his presence known as he cleared his throat loudly. "Jett," he called and sluggishly, the white hair Alpha lifted his head and Stefan was met with a pair of bleak amber eyes. He sighed. "You are such a mess"Jett thwarted his gaze, peering back at the floor. "What are you doing here?" He queried tiredly.Stefan shrugged. "I learned what happened to the moonstone, it's gone" it wasn't a secret anyway, almost everyone was aware of the destroyed moonstone, putting most in havoc.Jett nodded. "It's gone" he retorted in a nonexistent tone, not mo
"This is going to sting, stay calm," Stefan advised, staring down at Ace's green eyes, the Gamma nodded while Stefan went back to what he was doing.Ace smiled, flinching when something cold brushed against his mark, his hand reaching out to grasp the hem of Stefan's shirt."When did this happen?" Stefan explored, wiping the putrid flesh clean with cotton and alcohol."Six months ago," Ace replied, biting his bottom lip."Silly pup, this could have killed you," Stefan tsked."I didn't think it was that serious" Ace responded but he did know it was serious. Mate marks didn't get rotten for no reason. He barely slept at night, screaming into his pillow when his skin felt like it wanted to rip off his body. "You should have told me,"I tried to but you pushed me away constantly. Ace answered over his head before uttering. "I'm sorry"Stefan didn't respond, putting a plaster over the mark. "It's not going to heal until I mark you again,"Ace stared up, blinking his eyelashes at his mate
After five days of trekking in the grove, Jett wasn't anticipating to be barraged the moment he rambled on an anonymous territory but there he was, enclosed by a pack of wolves, barking and yowling at him, baring their pointed fangs, getting ready on their claws to strike.Jett stood in the circle, evaluating their steps, refusing to be a prey. "Take me to your alpha!" He mandated, his eyes flaring, using his alpha tone but he was barked at. Fucking lunatics!If they weren't going to let him go or take him to their alpha, Jett would have to kill his way through. He got on a fighting stance. "You want to fight so bad, come on!" He exhorted but a voice unexpectedly interposed."Wait!"The wolves hung back, instantly retreating while Jett didn't change his position, his amber eyes peering as a man emerged from the trees, smirking when his faded blue eyes locked with Jett's."Well well well, what do we have here, isn't it Alpha Jett!"Jett straightened his posture, gawking at the other co
Silently, Jett followed behind Marie, watching her back disdainfully as she took the lead in an unknown direction. "I should warn you, he won't be happy to see you and he's going to be mad at me for bringing an unwanted and unexpected visitor,"Did he believe her? It was 50/50 chances, Jett was almost ready to slide her throat the minute she did anything stupid. She was once with Mahalia, now she was with Xavier? Who the fuck was she?"Why are you with Xavier, last time I checked, you were with Mahalia,"Marie grinned. "That's what she thinks, Alpha Xavier is my..."Jett instantly chimed in. "Please don't tell me he's your father also"Marie cackled, peeking back at Jett. "No but he's family, Mahalia and Alpha Xavier raised me when I was a pup, my pack was ambushed by rogues. You know those stories about Xavier conquering so many packs, those are lies. He did conquer packs but those were enemy packs, others joined his pack when they lost their packs and home, I was just lucky to be am

"I present to you, Your Alpha!"Jett watched the people applause, watched as Sam paved the way for the present Alpha of Blood Pearl pack after five years.Alpha Knox, finally taking the place of his father as he walked up the stage, in front of the people he was going to protect from now on. Jett beamed, equally clapping his hands for the young Alpha, unknown pride swelling in his heart."He's cute, isn't he?"Jett reeled his head, to the man standing beside him and smiled up at his mate. "Alphas aren't meant to be cute, Xavier,"Xavier instantly hissed. "That's debatable,"Jett pouted, now facing his mate. "Hey, I'm not cute,""I beg to differ," Xavier smirked as he equally swiveled to his mate, his arms went around his waist and pulled him closer "I liked your white hair better" he voiced, his hand reaching up to brush the strain of black hair on Jett's forehead."I know right, I dyed it as a dare, Ace is nothing but a bastard, Stefan has been nothing but a bad i
A pained grunt broke out from his throat while his eyes opened, immediately enlarging at who they saw squatting beside him.Ignoring the aches in his bones, Ace reached out, taking hold of his mate's hand, "Stefan..." He called. He stared at him unbelievingly, wondering if this was one of his many dreams of seeing his mate's face whenever he opened his eyes. "You are here?"Stefan nodded, watching as Ace strived to pull himself up from the bed but Stefan placed his hands on his shoulders, pushing him back. "You were badly injured, you shouldn't move too much, ""B-but..." Ace protested but was chimed in."I'm not going anywhere, I will always be here," Stefan expressed, his hand reaching out to cup the gamma on the cheek, caressing with his thumb, Ace immediately leaned into his touch, inhaling his mate's addicting scent, feeling protected in his presence."Does that mean you've forgiven me?" Ace ogled expectantly.Stefan chuckled, brushing his finger on the Gamma's nose. "You silly,
With his hands on his hips, he paced from one corner of the room to the other, thousands of thoughts circling in his head as he stopped and stared at the unconscious form of Xavier's body lying on the bed. He sharply turned to Juna who stood beside Riyan."I need an explanation?" He demanded.Alpha Arthur who equally stood at the corner signaled. "What do you need an explanation for, he's alive, isn't that what you wanted,"Jett scowled at the tall Alpha. "That's not it and you know it!" He snapped, looking back at the century-old witch in a teenager's body. "H-he was dead?" He stuttered, shuddering at the thought of Xavier's pale face flashing in his head."He was," Juna retorted."Then how the fuck is he alive?!"Juna gleamed. "Actually, the dagger wasn't meant to kill him. Rather, it was meant to break the curse, I lied," Her grin widened at the stupefied looks on their face.It was reserved for a moment, then..."H-h-HOW COULD YOU DO THAT, YOU THINK PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S FEELINGS
Anguish, he felt nothing but misery, his heart clamping badly beneath his chest as he held the icy body tighter, closely.A precarious sob left his lips, as his sniveling gaze averted to the person in his arms, and once again, everything around him ceased, the violent, cold wind that brushed through his hair and slapped his cheeks suddenly stopped, the damp moss whiff of the forest didn't seem to reach his nostrils anymore while the rumbling sound of thunder quietened, the pattering of rainfall continued to beat on his back, soaking both of them but that didn't matter as his gaze remained glued to the man's motionless face.Slowly, his left hand went up to cup the man's hardened jaw and touched nothing but frost, ice, and cold, and almost instantly, his breath got caught in his throat, the knot in his stomach seeming to be tightening with every passing second while his wet form trembled, his tears meaningless as the rain washed them away.How could he be so stupid?!He could have just
We found him, you have to kill him!You have to kill him!Again and again, those words reechoed in his head as he darted into the forest, Stefan, and Riyan behind him, heading in the same direction. They found him and now, Jett was struck between a rock and a hard place.Abruptly, they came to a stop in an open field, the sight before making them gasp loudly."ACE!!" Stefan shrieked, zipping toward his mate, imprisoned with Xavier's fingers fastened tightly around his neck, the Gamma's feet barely touching the ground while his face slowly lost traces of blood but before he could get near, an invisible force struck him on the chest, making him soar against a tree that fell over.Xavier...no, that wasn't Xavier, this was the demon that had been trapped inside of him for so many years. Jett peered in horror at the lifeless bodies that surrounded the demon on the forest floor."You have to save Ace" Riyan uttered over his shoulder, "There's a hurdle, Stefan can't get through"Jett's gaze
"Xavier!" Jett called as he rambled into the room, a fresh and clean set of clothes hung on his arm. His gaze went around the room, not finding his mate but could hear heartbeats from the bathroom. "Xavier?" He approached the door but right in time as Xavier unlocked it and stepped out. Jett's eyes expanded at the pair of rubicund eyes peering back at him, he stepped back. "Xavier,"Xavier squinted and his eyes returned to their familiar gold shade. "I'm sorry, I can't help it,""I know but just hold on for a little longer, Juna is going to be here and you will be fine," he stepped forward, stationing his palm on Xavier's face, rubbing his thumb over his cheek. "I promise,"Xavier's lips spanned into a tiny smile, his arms reaching out to drape themselves around Jett's narrow waist, hauling him close. "I thought you wanted me gone?"Jett shook his head, contrition wafting inside of him. "No, it was the dumbest decision of my life, I only realized after you were gone,"Xavier
Wiping a white towel over his newly shaved face, he strolled out from the bathroom, wearing a pair of loose pants and a naked upper body. He sauntered towards the mattress, crouching down while throwing the towel on the bed.He was home but was he?His lips twisted into a smirk, his eyes flickering between red and gold. "It's my turn now, Xavier, you can no longer fight me in there," He caressed his bare chest, feeling the pound of his heart. "You want to come out so badly, don't you, Xavier?" He tsked, laughing to himself as he placed his elbows on his knees and leaned his body forward. "Those fools, they think they can get rid of me, I am you Xavier and you are me, we are one till cessation comes between us," He clamored. He stood up, rambling over to the wardrobe, unlocking it but in a flash, he was slammed on the wall, fingers tightly wrapped around his neck, a pair of brown eyes glaring at him. Xavier smirked, "You don't seem too happy to see me, little sister," He grabbed her w
She paced from one corner to the other, anxiety devouring her insides.It had been hours, she didn't know what was going on inside the cave. Should she go in? What if things went wrong and both ended up dead. Marie instantly shook her head, shaking away every melancholy thought.She swiftly swiveled, heading towards the cave passageway but halted. What if something went wrong because she intruded?Marie bit her bottom lip, whatever that has been going on in there has been going on for too long. Marie didn't let any more thoughts hinder her as she matched into the cave, a lump jelling up in her throat, not knowing what to anticipate. She went further while uncertainty heightened higher but she did foresee what she saw. She wheezed loudly, abruptly ceasing while her gaze magnified at the naked bodies tangled up each other. A little clamor erupted from her throat and she twirled, turning her back to the oblivious alphas. So shameless, she thought, feeling blood scrambling speedily to h
