I was forced back into the duties I thought I’d escaped. Yes, forced. A warrior dragged me back to the kitchen and I got a good scolding from Maria. She did not know I ran away. All she cared about was the perfect execution of the hand-over ceremony. Nothing else mattered but her reputation as a diligent and dutiful event planner for the Silver Moon pack. The warrior hung around the kitchen. Every time I came out with a tray, he was there, keeping an eye on me and trailing behind me to make sure I didn’t escape.

This was Kade’s way of ensuring I did what he asked, that I continued to stay back in this wretched pack, acting as his slave for the rest of my life. The thought of how long I would continue like this made my shoulders sag as I carried a stack of plates to the large hall that would soon be open to guests.

Today, I was part of the cooking and catering service so I put on a white shirt and black skirt like all the other omegas working alongside me. It would be a long day. The o

    I felt the fear in the sudden stillness in the room, the breathlessness and the tension that made the hair on my arms rise. The fear was thick enough to slice causing my heart to leap to my throat, choking me. Despite the silencing fear, I could not hold back my groan at the sharp, burning pain that accompanied the pot of boiling water dumped on my head.“We are on another’s territory,” I heard a strained voice close to me. “Calm yourself.” Three pairs of feet stood close to me while I struggled to sit upright through the pain of a scalded face and shoulders.If there was such a thing as hell, I imagined it could not feel worse than this. The skin on the left side of my face and my forehead peeled from the hot water treatment. I swallowed a groan, terrified of the man standing a few feet away from me. Nothing would make me move an inch for fear of aggravating the man whose anger made the whole room freeze.“Step aside.” A cool voice. Calm and deadly. It carried the force of an Alpha,

    “What is your name?” A thick finger grazed my face as I sat up.I shivered but my reaction stemmed more from the feeling of his voice caressing me than the weather. He spoke in a quiet resonant voice that wrapped around me like a warm and heavy blanket. If his presence felt like home, his low, distinct voice felt like a hug.Still, I could not shake off the effect of his presence. He had a forbidden aura and sharp eyes that watched me like a hawk. I trembled inside me with fear yet he had done nothing to me. If I ever angered this man –His steely gaze narrowed on me as I took my time supplying my name. It was not that I did not want to tell him – it was just – His presence unnerved me. I felt a suffocating urge to hide or cower out of sight but I forced my voice to come out.“Sihana Asena.” My voice came out as a subdued whisper while I fought back a shiver.“Sihana Asena,” he tested the name on his tongue and a shiver raced down my spine. His deep baritone warmed something deep insi

    “What do you mean your mate?” Kade was the first to speak after the deafening silence that followed Cahir’s words. He took an involuntary step towards me and I stepped back.Nervousness made my heart pound a fast rhythm that made my heart ache in no time. Everyone was looking at me now and unused to attention, I wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole and hide.A frown contorted Kade’s features, the doctor and Aristo had matching looks of surprise while Warren – The former Alpha looked calculating. Cahir growled as Kade took another step towards me.“Alpha Kade, one more inch –“ He left the threat open, crossing his arms in a false laidback display. His corded muscles bulged through his shirt as he crossed his arms tight, glaring at Kade.I felt a storm brewing in the room and by the look of things, I was not the only one feeling the incoming eruption between the two incumbent Alphas in the room.“Why do we have to deal with all these people now,” Asena sighed, annoyed with the

    *KADE*Sihana had a nice body, no man would deny this. Her full chest and round hips complete with a cinched waist and straight legs enticed many men in the pack. Her full pouty lips and doe eyes were enough to weaken even the toughest man so I had my work cut out for me. Every time a man looked at her with lust in his eyes, I made sure he had too many problems to distract him from her after that.I earned myself a reputation in high school for being a tyrant and a bully as there were rooms full of men to be dealt with there. When the time to leave for college came, I made sure to apply to a college close to home. Who knew what would happen if I left for four years? I may come back to see some idiot took her away.Even while doing all these, while making sure she never had a boyfriend, or that a boy even dared come close to her, I knew I could not have her. As an Alpha, I needed a strong mate to lead beside me, a woman who could give me strong children to take over from me and lead th

    “I want to know how she is doing.” Despite being a healer as he knew, Alpha Cahir still brought me back to the doctor for a checkup. “Run some tests, do your thing. I want to know the extent of the damage done to her by this pack,” he declared.“I am fine, really,” I muttered but my mouth snapped shut when he gave me a wilting glare. A chill passed through me at that look.“Get into the bed.” The way he spoke reminded me so much of Kade, except with much more power.With Kade, I could try to resist or ignore his command until he used his Alpha voice, but when Cahir spoke, I obeyed without first thinking. My back hit the bed a second after his command and the doctor approached me. This was a new doctor, unlike the first one who Cahir now despised.“I will need you to take your shirt off for me,” the doctor said, laying things down on a table beside me. A nurse stood beside him, ready to work when called upon. “There are no scars on your face but it’s awfully red. I’d like to see how yo

    “Beta Aristo!” The three girls turned to the man taking up a large part of the doorway. Avalon’s tight grip on my hair loosened before she finally let go, taking a step away from me.“What are you doing here?” It was Felicity that spoke this time. She took a step towards him, pushing out her chest and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Were you looking for me?” She turned with a small triumphant look to the other girls before she focused her full attention on the Beta.“Why would I be looking for you?” He turned away from her after a fleeting look of disgust crossed his face. “You –“ He brushed past Felicity who was reaching for him to turn to Avalon. “You have a lot of audacity.” He reached out and wrapped a hand around her throat. “Do you know who you have carelessly put your hands on?” His voice dropped low and I realized then why he was Cahir’s Beta.Cahir and Aristo looked and acted like polar opposites. While my mate was dark both in looks and temperament, Aristo had

    “Oh, hi,” Aristo said, a grin taking up a huge part of his face as Beta Maria scrambled to find something to cover herself. “There’s no need for that now.” Aristo chuckled as she grabbed two throw pillows, holding them against her front.“What are you doing here?” She demanded of me, pretending not to see the Beta checking her out.“I should be asking you that.” My voice was cold when I spoke.I wanted to assume she came here for Beta Aristo, after all, it was no secret that the Beta was a lover of women. However, this was the Alpha’s room. She cleaned it herself so there was no way for her to pretend she was in the wrong room.“You dare talk like this –“ She walked backwards and got a blanket, wrapping it around herself. “You disappeared, leaving behind all that work –““Lady, I don’t know who you are but you’re in Cahir’s room,” Aristo cut her off. “You’ve missed your way, haven’t you?” He asked with a condescending smile. “My room is the one next to this.” He motioned to the left.

    Aristo kept me company in Cahir’s suite but then night arrived and he had to prepare for the night party since he missed the official one. The initiation would start in thirty minutes and all pack members were required to attend but I didn’t feel like it and I couldn’t be damned to attend a ceremony for Kade.“When will – When will he be back?” I asked Aristo as he made to take his leave.For the last two hours, I waited for Cahir’s return but there was no sign of him anywhere. My wolf felt his absence and it made her go silent. The dread of what would happen with him was enough to tire her out with worry.“He is using this visit to settle some things with the Alpha of Blue Blood pack. Don’t worry, he will be back.”The Blue Blood pack were the closest to us here. It irked me that while I was waiting with bated breath for him, he was out conducting business. Did he not want me or what? If he was going to reject me, the least he could do was spare me the anxiety of waiting for his verd

    “You smell fantastic,” Cahir burrowed his nose into my side. “I love this smell.”“You’re saying that because I smell like you.” And I did. He’d thoroughly covered me with his scent and he’d enjoyed every minute of it – I had too, there was no denying it but at this point, I was too tired to speak. My eyes drooped as he kissed my skin, his body heat telling me he wanted to go for a third round. My stamina could never match up with Cahir’s but now, I was heavily pregnant so I didn’t even try. In my second trimester, I’d become a horny wreck but these days, I found myself wanting to do nothing but sleep and sleep and then sleep some more. “I’m so tired,” I mumbled in a sleepy voice. “And my back aches.” “Do you want a massage?” His innocent words were tinged with heat that added an extra layer of meaning to his offer. “No, thank you.” I pushed up in bed. “Uggh, being pregnant is the worst,” I grumbled but then the baby kicked and I winced. “She heard that,” Cahir said with a chuck

    We stayed at the hotel for a week while the Alpha Castle was renovated. That week, Cahir did not let me step out of the room. My temperature was high most of the time and we ended up pleading with the priestess to send the holy necklace to us rather than going to pick it up.It took a lot to convince the high priestess to entrust something so valuable to someone other than I, the recipient, but she finally relented and gave it to Laura accompanied by Sebastian. “Just touching this makes me feel so much better.” I sighed, rubbing a hand on the necklace. The other one I used to wear was sent back to the high priestess. “I’m glad,” Cahir said in a tired voice. There was a lot that needed to be done now that the battle was over. The number of casualties on our side was high. Corpses littered the streets, parents crying and mass funerals having to be held. There was also the matter of the sanction for the Greyson family. Their head had sponsored war on the pack so it wasn’t unfair to ha

    Melanie led us out of the hideout after the shootout and my fire incident. We’d been discovered so we had to find another shelter. “The Alpha is unreachable. The only hideout similar to this which I know is east so we are going east.” Melanie informed us. “Here,” she threw clothes at me. I gulped when she mentioned Cahir being unreachable even though I didn’t want to think the worst. I changed as fast as possible into the black clothes Melanie handed to me and donned the baseball cap. “What’s the situation?” I asked when we got into the car. “Aristo is still on the loose. Five of the twelve packs under Alpha Blood have betrayed Alpha Cahir but the others have mobilized into action. Two borders have fallen but the Alpha has sent back up and they’ll be strengthened soon,” Melanie spoke in a businesslike tone. “Are you comfortable?” She glanced at my stomach. “Y – Yeah.” My heart pounded nonstop so I knew my blood pressure had risen. Catching on fire left my skin dry but the baby wa

    *CAHIR*I was leaving my mate behind for the second time since this ordeal started. Unease pricked my skin and my wolf paced restlessly, more concerned for the safety of our mate than the safety of the millions of wolves in Alpha Blood. 'Are you sure she'll be fine?' Perseus asked, continuing to pace. 'Aristo, that bastard, you're sure he doesn't know that particular hideout?' 'I'm about sixty percent sure,' I responded truthfully, aggravating my wolf. 'He is the beta of this pack and he grew up roaming these grounds so there's every possibility that he knows the grounds better than me.' There was no shame in admitting that my beta was more familiar with my lands than I was – it was his duty to survey the pack and report to me, after all. 'Will Sihana be safe?' Perseus wanted reassurance but it was something I couldn't give him because I too had my doubts. It did not show on my face but I was terrified of leaving Sihana and the baby for a second, knowing my beta could find them and

    “What’s happening?” I asked, twiddling my thumbs as I heard the stampede getting louder and louder. “Alpha, the dungeons have been opened!” Someone opened a mind link and forgot to channel it to only the Alpha so the whole pack heard it. “We’re going into lockdown,” Cahir said. His eyes unfocused for a minute as he mind linked the heads of various brigades. “Let’s go, Sia.” He outstretched his hand to me and I took it with a puzzled expression.“Where are we going?” I asked. “You’re going to join them in the hideout closest to us. I’m sending you with a couple of warriors so don’t be scared.”“Oh.” I swallowed. Unlike him, I was already scared, terrified out of my mind. “You’re crushing my hand,” he muttered and I got back to my senses. “Sorry,” I muttered with a blush. “I’m just a bit nervous.” As if my body wanted to show just how nervous, flames rose on my hand and then flickered out. “This happens when I’m nervous.” I giggled in a high-pitched tone. “Don’t be nervous.” Cahir

    “What the –“ I gasped as the place went up in flames. “He’s quite meticulous,” Cahir said with a laugh, starting up his car. He had a carefree expression on his face, not like someone who just heard his best friend betrayed him and his pack would soon be under siege from more traitors. “You’re taking this rather well,” I commented. “It’s a bit funny. I never thought Aristo would betray me so I’m pleasantly surprised.” He chuckled. “And Alpha Blood which will go to shit without me yet they want to go against me,” he snorted. “It’s a funny scenario.” No, it wasn’t but I didn’t say anything. I fell asleep sometime during the long ride back to the pack and woke up once to drink water, my throat parched and aching. When we got to the Alpha Castle, Cahir was bundling me into his arms when I woke up. “Sleep. I’ve got you.” I snuggled up into his chest and went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up till late afternoon the next day and it was Cahir that woke me up, “We have to find a time to t

    “Cahir.” I touched his arm when he got closer, my lips trembling. He wouldn’t hurt me – I tried to convince myself of that but it didn’t stop my heart from shaking when he got closer with a weird look in his golden eyes. I wanted to look away but I forced myself to maintain eye contact. Beneath this wolf coated with blood and with feral eyes was my mate, the love of my life and the father of my child. “Cahir – do you –“ I wanted to ask if he recognized me but I couldn’t. What was I doing talking to a wolf that was stalking me? What was I doing reaching out to a feral wolf? But that feral wolf was my mate and I couldn’t let him go. Never. How many people had he killed for his fur to be coated in so much blood? What had he done before he entered this room? Could I still get my mate back from the abyss of bloodlust that seemed to have wrapped vice-like grips around him? The wolf got to me and buried its cold snot into my neck. I went as stiff as a board. There was no single scent of

    *CAHIR*“I don’t feel good about this,” Perseus mumbled after we bid our mate goodbye. Not only did I not feel good about sending my mate away when I wanted to have her in my sight every second of every day, I actually felt terrible. …I hate you! Those words she screamed at me haunted me till now. I knew she didn’t mean them, that she had uttered them in the heat of the moment, feeling hurt and betrayed that I went behind her back to plan this after I promised to never hide things from her. I knew all this but the words still stung. ‘Cahir, are you sure this is the best choice?’ Perseus asked, a gloomy cloud hanging around him as our mate went away. ‘It would be unwise to keep her shackled to our side at this point.’ I mumbled. ‘Greyson will attack in a few days and it's best she isn’t caught in the crossfire because I selfishly held on to her.’ It would be good to get things done and over with as soon as possible so I could have a peaceful life with my mate and baby.

    “You’re not going to get away with this,” I added to my vow.“That’s a bit cliché, don’t you think?” Aristo chuckled. “You don’t love me yet but you like me so I can make you love me.” He sounded so confident, so assured that I would come to love a person like him. I went over our past conversations to see if I had somehow led him on, if I’d ever behaved as if I saw him as more than a friend and my mate’s best friend. I knew I’d never flirted with him so I didn’t need to think hard. Then why was he so delusional? “I’ll dress her. Leave.” He barked at Sebastian. The other man looked at me for a brief second before he nodded and left the room. “So many disgusting men coveting what’s mine,” he hissed, shaking his head. It was easy to reconcile the present Aristo with the Aristo I knew. I thought it was difficult, felt it was difficult at first, but it actually wasn’t. He behaved the same but what I had chalked off as overt friendliness and disrespect that stemmed from his overfamiliar
