Steven stood there looking at these people, he still could not believe that he did all those things to Nathan, after everything he and his father did for him. Thinking about it made him hate Layla but he hated himself even more. “What do we do gamma Steven, how do we get our alpha back?” they asked him. “We run in our wolf form to Alpha Anita’s pack, we must get there before they wake up. I will tell you the rest as we go along, right now we have to leave if we want to make it in time.” Told them,
They did not waste time going outside, the cracking of bones could be heard as they shifted into their wolf forms and they all ran to the woods. It was like they were going out for battle, young and old running towards alpha Anita’s men
“Why did you not go back with them?” Asked Anita after being quiet for s while. “Because you are not ready to be their Luna yet and I am not ready to be their alpha yet.” Answered Nathan without a care in the world. “Nate, I understand that you want to be with me but I don’t want to keep you from your pack, now that they have come and humbled themselves before you, its only right that you forgive them.” She told him knowing very well what his answer will be.“I can't just forget what they did to us, look at your neck, you have a scar that will never go away because of them, how can you ask me to just forget all that when it’s a constant reminder each the time I
Anita stood there looking at where Nathan disappeared to, she was worried about what he will do when he got there. “I need to call my mother.” She told her gamma James and he nodded. They ran back to where the car was, when they got there, she shifted then took the phone the car and dialled her mother. “My baby how are you doing?” asked Laura as soon as she answered the phone.“Mom, where is Jackson?” Laura was shocked by the urgency in her voice. “Is everything okay?” asked Laura concerned. “Mom, please, I need to talk to Jackson, where is he?” asked Anita impatiently. “He is right here, let me put you on speaker.” There was shuffling before Laura spoke again. “You can talk now.” Laura told her. “Jackson, am sorry to do this but you have to come back home, Nathan has gone feral and…”Jackson cut her short before she could finish. “What do you mean he had gone f
Nathan dropped the body of the warrior on the ground, pack member who saw what he did ran for their lives, they did not want to sit and wait to see who will be next. They mind linked each other and soon the whole pack knew what had happened. They started mink linking Steven but there was silence, those who were close to each other looked at their pups worried for them and their safety.At this point no one knew what the alpha was thinking or why he was killing his own pack members, but they were too scared to find out, things in their pack never got this bad, this was the first time such ever happened in the history of Silver Sands, the only incident was when the former Luna worked with the rogues to kill the alpha and take over the pack. That was years ago though and the alpha was Jackson’s father.They tried mind linking Layla but she had blocked everyone out, still spooked by what happened not so long ago, they tried the warriors on the border to find out wher
Nathan spent the whole day and night searching for those warriors. They hid themselves well that he could not find them, they wanted to run to Rosewood or at least the rogue pack and seek help but they were not sure if they will be welcomed. Other packs were far from them only those two were close, they had to disguise their scents in order to avoid getting caught by Nathan. The man was a good hunter generally and if it was not for them disguising their scents, he would have long found them and killed them.Nathan spent the night in the woods and hunted to eat like the savage he was. Early that morning when Jackson and Divan arrived at the pack. They were met by exhausted warriors and silence. There were no pups running around and no other people walking around going about their business. It was quiet like they were at a wrong place, they looked at each other and assumed the worst.When one of the warriors spotted then he literally ran to them then fell on his knees in
Divan went to each and every one of their hideouts in the woods but could not find Nathan. He went to the last one, the one in between the thickest trees in the forest, none of them came to this place alone, they had to accompany each other when coming here growing up because the place was just scary. He kept looking around as he walked further into the forest, h picked up Nathan’s scent and knew that he was there.He sighed in relief and walked further. “So you finally came alone huh.” Divan stated when he came to view him, Nathan’s eyes were dark as night, they sent cold shivers down Divan’s spine and he swallowed hard. “mm” he said, Divan walked and sat beside him. “So, what have you been up to since I left?” Divan asked cautiously. “Am tired, am going back.” Nathan stood up and so did Divan.When he faced him that was when Divan saw the blood on his shirt, it looked fresh. “You went hunting?&rd
After talking to her mother, Anita went back to the room and found her mate standing in front of the French window. She sighed not knowing what to do. ‘what do we do now?’ she asked her wolf. ‘don’t you worry, mate is going to come back to us, I have been talking to his wolf reminding him of the good times we had and telling her him that we love them.’ Answered her wolf. ‘thank you.’ She thanked her. ‘we are one Nita, when you hurt, I hurt as well.’ She told her.Anita walked up to her mate and hugged him from behind. He tensed at the contact but soon relaxed, she laid her head on his back and sighed. “When are you having a Luna ceremony for me?” asked Anita, the man could not understand what she was saying, did that mean that she wanted to be his Luna? ‘Good move Nita’ her wolf complimented. “Why do you want one?” asked Nathan.Anita let go of him and went to stand in front of hi
Nico happened to be on duty this night and he was grumpy that as well. He was one of the lead warriors and was he duty to go around to all borders checking with the warriors if everything was okay. Lead warrior’s duties were to check all borders during patrol to make sure that everything was still alright. He would have to drive from the Rosewood borders all the way to the rogue pack borders checking on things.He was doing that at this moment, coming from the north border going to check on the south. Layla had been sitting there hiding for hours now, she was looking for an opening to go in unnoticed, but the warriors of Rosewood were very vigilant and they did not even look sleepy. Which frustrated Layla, but still waited with hope that sooner or later he was going to get an opening.She did not know why she was not leaving but her wolf kept on insisting they waited and so they did, few more hours of waiting her wolf got agitated and started jumping around. She
Nico and Layla went back to Rosewood pack. She was feeling depressed now, the feeling she was getting from Nico was so good, she wanted to be with him, everything in her wanted him but there was one problem, Nico is not in a position of power and she wanted power. She cursed the Mood Goddess for giving her such a mate when she deserved more, the more she thought about it the more depressed she felt.“Sweetheart, what is going on, don’t you want to be here?” seeing her like that hurt Nico, he felt like he was failing her already, it hurt as much as it made him angry for being so useless now. “Am okay.” Answered Layla forcing a smile, Nico saw through that and his heart broke. “Layla, I may be nothing now and have no position to offer you but you have my heart sweetheart, please trust that I will do anything to make you happy, I would destroy the world if it calmed you.”Layla sniffed for real this time, her heart tightened at his
“Luka, stop playing with sand, you know mama wont like it when you get into the house full of sand.” Nova said to her brother, but Luka stood up and continued to throw sand around giggling. “Luka no!” Nova stood up attempting to stop him, but Luka ran to the packhouse with Nova right behind him. He was giggling as he ran and almost falling.He got in and ran to the kitchen where their mother was. “No running!” Anita reprimanded and Luka stopped then turned to look at his sister. “Mama!” called Nova coming into the kitchen. “Yes, princess?” answered Anita busy making cookie dough. “Look at your son, he was at it again just now.” Anita stiffened her laugh then looked at Luka, little Luka had sand all over his face and even on his hair.“You were playing with sand again Luka.” Said Anita looking at him.“No” said Luka shaking his head. “He was mama, look at him.&rd
As the pain tore through him Nico clutched at his chest feeling like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. The pain was unbearable and excruciating. He felt like he was going to die right there and then. “Aaaaah!!” he cried out painfully clutching his chest. As the pain intensified, he shifted into his wolf form then he looked up in the sky and howled, other werewolves close by heard the painful howl and joined in.He was close to the border of Rosewood when this happened and the werewolves that heard him were the warriors on patrol. After the howl, they went looking for him and found him in his wolf form curled up on the ground looking helpless. They surrounded him as the other warrior mind linked Marco to come quickly. As the other beta, Marco could sense the urgency in the warrior’s voice and came running to see what was happening.When he got there, he saw Nico curled up on the ground looking like an injured dog. ‘What happened,
Nathan’s heart ached seeing his mate like that, he closed his eyes to fight the tears from falling. ‘Goddess, did you bring my mate to me only for me to keep hurting her like this? Did you not maybe make a mistake giving her to me? I am not good enough for this angel, she is pure and had a heart of gold.’ Nathan said a silent prayer before taking slow steps towards his mate. His feel felt heavy to lift and his heart hurt painfully in his chest.They say that the hardest wounds to heal are those on the inside for they do not get air to heal naturally. Nathan feared what the pain he has been causing his mate must be doing to her inside, she might forgive him and take him back. But does that mean the wounds have healed? He feared not. He stopped close to her and extended his hand then gently.“My love, please say something, whatever you are feeling right now please don’t keep it in, tell me, doesn’t matter how hurtful it m
Months passed and still no sign of Layla. Nico looked like a walking zombie, he missed his mate so much and longed to be with her but he could not find her. He looked everywhere he thought she might be but she was not there, he never found her. he spent these months searching for her with no luck. Nathan as well has been looking for her but with no luck, not even a clue of where she could be, it's like she vanished. Which made him more paranoid thinking that she was planning something again.The good news is that he found Steven and brought him back to the pack. He came back a changed man, stricter than he was and more focused. Nathan liked the new version of him and so did Divan. The three of them have been helping each other in the search for Layla, they had teams made up of members from the rogue pack, rosewood and silver sands. So far, none of them had luck in finding Layla.Nathan and Anita have been working on their relationship. It was not hard doing so as the m
Nathan wakes up inhaling a deep breath like he has been drowning, this startled Laura as she was not expecting it, her hand was on her chest with her eyes popped looking at him. Nathan finally noticed her and he gave her a small smile. “Am sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He apologized to her and Laura calmed down a bit. “Am glad to see you back and your father will be happy too,” Laura told him getting up from where she was seating.Nathan wanted to ask about Anita but was afraid of the answer he was going to get from Laura. “I have mind-linked your father and told him that you are awake. Anita is okay.” She told him without looking at him and left. Nathan sighed feeling defeated and wondering what it will take for him to fix things with everyone. ‘Why is she angry with you?’ asked Brice making Nathan sigh once again.‘She is angry because of what I did to our mate, she is her daughter remember?’ B
Three days have passed, and Nathan has not woken up. Jackson has been with him all this time, he got a tent and sleeping bags for the both and stayed there with him. Divan and Laura have been running the pack together while Jackson and Nathan are not available. Jackson was worried about his son, not only that but the way he had been acting towards him.He has made mistakes that he admits but he too did not make life easy for him after everything that has happened. He was angry but now he regrets not giving his son a chance. Laura comes to him as he was sitting outside the tent watching the pack member’s train. “My love, please go and show then have something to eat.” She has been coming to bring him food every day because he refused to leave Nathan alone.But he has not been showering. “I can’t leave him alone, just bring me something to eat like you have been doing.” He told him, he looked like he aged a few years due to the level o
Nathan walked to the training grounds, upon arrival he looked around, there were a few warriors training there, but his mind was not there at all or on them, while he was standing there, he thought of the day he first shifted years ago. There were a lot of them that shifted that day, Divan was there as well as Steven. They were standing next to the big tree that is close to the training grounds.He remembered the three of them discussing about how they wished their wolves to look like, each one saying how awesome their wolf would be compared to the other. He remembered saying. ‘my wolf will be there best out of yours and you know why?’ he had asked his friends that day and Divan was the one who asked. ‘Why?’ Divan had asked. ‘Because I am the future alpha, so my wolf is going to be the best!’ he had bragged to them.‘But mine will be the best than yours Steven because I am a beta’s son, I have beta blood running through m
Nathan spent the whole week training hard hoping that Brice will come back but there was no sign of his wolf, now he was frustrated by this and the fact that he's been avoiding his father because he did not know what he will say to him when he sees him. He was disappointed in himself for being weak and letting Layla manipulate him like that. Speaking of Layla, when they got back from the rogue pack with Divan Layla was nowhere to be seen.They thought that she was going to come back the following day but she has not, they went to Rosewood on the third day of her not coming back but did not find her, they threatened Nico and told him that he was going to die in her place if he did not present her in the next week. Nico, unfortunately, did not know where his mate was, when Layla left the pack she did not go to her mate. She was worried about what he was going to say when she tells him that she broke the spell by sleeping with Nathan.The only thing Nico ever asked of her
When Nathan was done showering, he got dressed then looked around his room, he found a lot of things that did not belong to him or Anita. He figured that they belong to Layla, rage rose from the pit of his stomach, he tried mind linking an omega to come and clear them up but then when there was no response of any sign of a connection, he remembered that Brice was not with him. He sighed ‘Brice, please come back to me, I am incomplete without you.’ He said then left the room.He went to the kitchen and found an omega. He told her to remove everything that belongs to Layla in his room and do spring cleaning on it. The omega had questions but would not dare ask them, their alpha had changed, from killing those warriors to rejecting his true mate and taking Layla as his chosen one. He was not the alpha they once knew, he was different and she was not about to put herself in the firing line just to know the reason behind his actions.Nathan went out and found Di
