Lucian"Here, put her in this bed." Dr Armand urged Damon, who was holding the unconscious girl.Damon gingerly laid her down on the pristine white sheets covering the narrow hospital bed. I looked down at her frail, battered body, she was barely out of her teens. She smelled off, similar to those rogues. My wolf Jake was on the edge.Dr Armand took his stethoscope and listened to her heart and lungs. "Where did you find her ?" I asked Damon.Armand nodded briefly at the nurse who slid next to him to assist with the girl. "We found her near the edge of the shipyard, we almost missed her. She was almost dead and, naked. She smelled odd. I thought she was also dead, like the other girl. But she was breathing and there was a weak pulse. I thought it was best to bring her here to get medical attention." Damon explained.Armand motioned for the nurse to take the girl's blood pressure while he inspected the bruises, cuts, and contusions covering her body. "She was badly beaten. I am surpr
Lucian-I was sitting in yet conference with the task force. Betas from several packs were giving out their reports regarding the rogues. "I ran background checks on those rogues, one of them was an escaped convict, another one was a local gang member. Most of them were human delinquents who disappeared a few months back. No one knows what happened to them, since they were criminals, the police didn't bother looking for them. However, they somehow turned and formed this rogue group." Damon said."So all of these were turned wolves?" I asked."No, a few were naturally born rogues wolves who joined them. However, they were also given some DNA altering drugs to increase their speed, agility etc."This was worrying, a genetically enhanced army of rogues would be hard to counter. This was worse than expected."Seems like someone is experimenting. Though it's failing." Daniel said with a smirk.All eyes turned towards him, expectantly."Explain," Rick asked."A few days ago, we captured som
Alice"If my questions are uncomfortable, you can choose not to answer. I said, trying to be pleasant."Zaiden smiled back at me, looking curious."I am not sure if you are aware, but I lost my dad about 15 years ago in the were war. A lot of people were involved in it. Most of them are dead now. But the war happened because of me. I never stopped blaming myself for it." I paused."I guess I am rambling, what I mean is, you dont feel a shred of resentment towards Lucian for executing your parents?" I said quickly in one breath."Some things can't be helped, they went against the pack. Got punished. I was lucky that I was spared. Not all Alphas are so benevolent to keep a traitor's son alive." he replied, with a loose roll of his shoulders."What do you expect me to do?"Take revenge, I thought but thought better of voicing it aloud. I couldn't even tell if Zaiden was being serious. Despite
Olivia I gazed at the window, having no idea what to make of the woman in the room. When I had opened my eyes in this strange room. I had realized that I had stumbled into a place inhabited by the same beings I had left. I had panicked initially, thinking I was in another experiment, I had later on concluded that these beings didn't seem to want to harm or hurt me. The fact that these creatures ran a hospital was baffling. Though nothing surprised me anymore. I still had a doubt, whether I should trust these people or not. This beautiful woman, who was just like them. Seemed happy and relaxed. She wasn't abused like me. She exuded a calming presence that silenced the horrors I had gone through. Talking to her felt nice. "I will tell you everything I know." The woman seemed to brighten up and sat back on her chair. She gently held my hand, "that's very brave of you. How old are you?" "I am 19," I replied. "So young! " She looked horrified. "I am so sorry you had to go through s
AliceI was looking at the disappointed faces of several juveniles after I had relayed the sad news that they could do none of the things they had planned."Will we at least have a pack run?" One of the girls asked, while coyly eying Zaiden."How about the pack barbecue? We can't cancel that?" Another one voiced.I rolled my eyes and silently cursed Eliza for leaving me with these hormonally charged teenagers."I am not sure about that. But I will confirm with the Alpha. Now, get back to your training." Once, the kids were busy. I had a choice. I could either visit Olivia and see how she was doing or check about the prophecy in the pack library. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but possibly, there would be something in the old archives.I decided to visit the library.************ It was a cool autumn day, and the leaves from the oak trees on the grounds littered the ground. It was one of those days when it just felt like the clouds could open up at any moment, and soak everythi
Lucian"We are getting reports from several packs, who were attacked. They had recently isolated themselves from the communities. " Rick said, with a grim face.Few packs were in the isolation for years. They had ceased all outside communications, including business exchanges, or the simple passing of information. Their Alphas didn't show up to council meetings and their lands were sealed against any wolf entering. We only came across them when they faced a severe rogue attack. Like the one, we had faced many months ago."How bad is it?" I asked, rubbing my temple."Not too bad, though they managed to get their hands on a few beta females." I clenched my grip, breaking the pen which I had been toying with."The rogues have realized that they cannot take over bigger packs or Alpha females, easily. So, they are targeting smaller packs now. " Rick added."We need to start raiding immediately!" I said."Without finding out the identity of the leader?" Daniel asked."We don't have the time
Lucian tugged and licked my breast while my body throbbed. He didn't leave the other nipple wanting, he quickly slid it in his mouth while gently plucking and twisting the other. "Look at me." His voice was husky with passion.I moved my eyes to his. His hand slipped down, between my lips, and began to rub my clit. The feeling itself was torturous, but as he circled and stroked my clit, my body imploded, every cell collapsing in on itself in pleasure. My body shook as he continued to stroke, I found myself falling again. I was screaming, which I was sure could be heard outside, but I didn't care.Finally, his strokes slowed, and he let me come down. I panted in his arms, spent and sated."Are you ready?" He whispered.I nodded. Without waiting, he entered me in one stroke. I gasped, clutching his shoulders. He rode me hard. The short strokes were driving me to distraction, and I didn't notice I had grown claws. The fabric tore beneath me as I gripped the sofa for balance." You are so
Olivia – "Hi!" The tall, blonde and devastatingly handsome guy said to me, as he sat opposite to me. "He won't hurt you," Alice consoled me. The green-eyed, handsome man was probably the Alpha, he exuded power, and the way Alice, and he looked at each other. It was obvious they were a couple. "Ok, the show is over, get back to work everyone!" Their alpha commanded, and almost immediately everyone dispersed. My heart was pounding hard, I couldn't stand the sight of men, but Zaiden wasn't scary. He seemed genuinely nice, just like the others here. 'What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I so nervous around this man?' I yelled at myself internally. "Hi" I answered back. "What is your name?" "Olivia Volpe," I replied softly. "Olivia....that's the loveliest name I have ever heard." He replied, still staring at me oddly. "Really? Statistically, it's the most common name in the US," I blurted out. Alice snorted. "Is it? Well, it's the most beautiful and unique name for me." Zai
Six years later -Alice**********************Emma and I were sitting outside in the garden watching our little ones tussle. We often visited each other."How you keep up with the three of them, I'll never know. I'm having a hard enough time with Arya." She said."It's difficult sometimes, but it's also fun," I said looking at my 6-year-old Aiden and 2 -year-old twins. Rose and Leo. It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered I was carrying twins, few years after we had Aiden.The kids looked up at us and yelped, they were cute little pups. Both Aiden and Rose had inherited Lucian's green eyes and dark hair. Leo was more like me with his hazel eyes and brown hair. Arya had caught Aiden by the ear while Rose and Leo tussled in the mud."Aiden, sweetie, Mama's not going to come to your rescue every time the girls pick on you." I laughed."I can't believe he lets her get away with that. He outweighs her by quite a bit." Emma said."He is a little gentleman, he just plays along" I smiled
AliceAs I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself. The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room."I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile."Maybe later," I winked at him."Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed."I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max."You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league."
AliceI knew about Doppler monitors, which are used to hear the fetal heartbeat. The idea both thrilled and terrified me."Just lie back," Dr Armand said, lifting my gown to reveal my bare belly. He squirted some liquid on my skin. "Just a bit of gel. It'll help pick up the sound."A crackling sound like an old transistor radio broke out in the room. Lucian looked at me, bewildered."We'll hear the baby's heartbeat?" I asked.The doctor nodded, moving the instrument over my stomach."The heart forms and starts beating from a very early stage."More static came from the small speaker the doctor held in his hand. A rapid, watery sound rang out, like waves at the beach on fast-forward.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.A smile spread across Dr Armand's face. "There's your baby."I held my breath. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Lucian's face was like a mask. I had never seen him so shocked and happy, both at the same time. The miracle of the moment began to sink in. We had created a life. The baby we had creat
Alice *************'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen carefully. When I say run, just run !' Lucian spoke in my mind.'But Max...''We'll save him too, don't worry. They don't know we are here as the wind is in another direction, but they will soon know. So just do as I say, babe, please.''I will dear.' I replied.Jordan gave me a suspicious look, I ignored him and kept my head down. I wasn't certain if I could shift, pregnant wolves can't. But my wolf assured me that she could take over anytime.'Run' Lucian said in my mind. My wolf took over. Breaking the restraints, I ran into the forest. The sound of gunshots rang through the forest. I looked up to see Lucian's choppers hovering over the trees. They were shooting at Stuart and his men. I stopped running, Max could get caught in the crossfire. I returned towards the group I had just escaped.**********************Lucian -I felt Alice's pain run through me, the rest of the pack felt the same. I immediately turned and started
Olivia -I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had."Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body."I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there."Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVs in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid."I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door."Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly."I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."Before the guard could react. The door burst open."You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A
I tried to keep my eyes open, as Stuart droned on and on about his scientific advancements. I had lost track of what he had been rambling long back, but just nodded and smiled at certain intervals to look interested.'Come on, Lucian,' I said into the void."So, these human women failed to get pregnant, it's not because my experiment failed. They were just weak. Weak and useless. Even my army of men was not the breakthrough I had been hoping for. So, I started seeking alternatives. The best approach was to go natural. Create my hybrid children. " He crossed his legs and folded his hands, placing his chin on his knuckles."So, that's why you attacked the mated Alpha females?""Yeah, lost quite a few of my men. I don't care about them, though. They were lab rats.....totally disposable." He shrugged."And I am your next big experiment?" I was feeling squeamish."You are special, Alice." I winced, my name rolling off his tongue made me sick."I am sorry, I need to use the bathroom." I su
Lucian 'This is crazy! I should have never listened to her.' I chided myself, but it was of no use. She was gone. "Alpha, we lost the chopper," Damon said somberly. I could feel my nails digging into my palms, I was gripping my hands so tightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Do whatever you can. Follow all the clues and find her." I managed to mutter. "Alpha, we have a request." I raised my head to find Kyle and the guards bowing their heads in submission. My wolf growled. He wanted to rip their heads off, for failing to protect my mate. "What is it?" I asked impatiently. "We....we....don't deserve to live. Please forfeit our lives." Kyle fumbled.I wanted to do that, but these were some of the best betas and warriors. Killing them now would achieve nothing."I don't have time for dramatics. Get out!""Alpha..." They whimpered."GET OUT! " I yelled, that sent them running out of my office.My wolf went into a rage and destroyed the table in seconds. I then went
Olivia I was heading for the trees before I realized what was happening. 'No, turn back,' I thought to myself, and then realized I wasn't in charge. The wolf was in charge.My wolf was showing herself. I could feel her stretching out as I ran. Trees sped by me in a blur, and I sucked in a lung-full of fresh air. I felt powerful.The rational human part of me still panicked and tried to get through to the wolf. I ran for miles, trying to check out my territory.I looked down at my feet, and they were still human, with a small spattering of white wolf fur. I had claws on my hands, but they still looked mostly human. It struck me that I was partially shifted into the hybrid wolf woman. And it felt great. I couldn't wait to turn fully.'Olivia,' Zaiden's voice boomed in my head. My mate was close on my heels, and suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an intense desire. He was supposed to claim me. Why was he late?Without further delay, my face started to change, and a snout started to grow. It
Alice -"How long is she going to be out?" Zaiden asked anxiously.We had all settled down to eat when he had appeared carrying Olivia. She seemed to be sleeping blissfully, a contented smile adorned her face."She is changing. She will wake up in a few days. How long did rain sleep when you had turned her ?" I asked Damon."A week," he sighed. "Though later I came to know she had woken up hours ago, but she was just enjoying the attention, hence pretended to be asleep."I stifled a laugh while Rain gave him a look."What was I supposed to do, you bit me so hard !" She retorted.I shook my head at their banter."She will wake up in about 24 hours. Might be quicker, as she is genetically tampered already." Lucian said while checking on Olivia."Too bad she'll miss the celebrations," Rain said sympathetically."Is she ok? Did I bite too hard? She will wake up, right?" Zaiden asked anxiously."Don't worry, you did well. You can return to the packhouse if you wish. Keep her comfortable. I
