They let out a raspy, guttural sound, as they clung to their chests, with blood gushing from their mouths and noses.'Even the cake was poisoned?' My gaze was fixed on Madison, as he was already struggling to breathe, his chest rising and falling in rapid breaths.My gaze averted to the variety of food on my table. 'That means everything here was poisoned.'Troy rushed to Elder Emery and held him in his arms while screaming his name. "Elder Emery! You can't just die... hold on, I will get the pack physician this minute."His voice was breaking down, as a few drops of tears flipped out of his eyes. Elder Emery shook his head, struggling to say a word; however, he uttered a harsh, hacking sound, coughing out more blood."Guards! Bring in the Pack Physician this instant!" His voice raged out in fear and desperation.It was said that Elder Emery was the beta of Troy's father, back d
Zedex POV“Hayaah…” I exhaled softly and tapped on the tip of the cup, requesting more tea. Mogan stared at me, hesitating again, pleading with his eyes for me not to take any more tea. I nodded, smiling, staring at the guests' faces, which looked like their eyes would pop out from their sockets."Mogan, more tea," I voiced out, urging him with my eyes to do as he was told."Alpha, please don't hurt yourself by taking the poisoned tea," Sally and the rest of my guards pleaded behind me.Mogan sighed as his shoulders dropped; however, this time, he bent the kettle sideways, like the first time, and filled my small cup again. I picked it up and gulped it down again.The Alphas couldn't believe their eyes, like what was unfolding in front of them. Their once shocked expression was now replaced with confusion as they stared at each other.Troy quickly regained his composure, as he seethed, "Alpha Zedex! Are we a joke to you? How dare you accuse my Pack of poisoning your tea?" he yelled.“
ZedexMy lips curved into a soft smirk, as I scoffed loudly, rolling my eyes. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the rage bubbling within me, as I seethed, almost regretting why I had come to Full Mountain Pack myself. I could have asked Mogan to handle the transfer, hence Max wouldn't have had this chance to provoke me.However, I shoved it off, like always. As long as he doesn’t involve my Grandpa, I’m cool.Ever since he had left Vermilion Pack after he rebelled, I hadn't seen or heard from him. But who cared? He was no longer my brother because he ceased to be the moment he plotted against me and the Pack. Right now, I only saw him as my enemy, because he was also a friend to Troy, which made them both my enemies.All the Alphas present had their jaws dropped in shock, while the guests' faces flushed, as the tension in the room charged."I can't believe brothers can hold such hostility towards each other.""The courage Max has to challenge his brother needs to be studied.""I
Zedex POVThey all stood up and walked behind me. However, Mogan hastened up and caught up with me as we walked side to side deep into Full Mountain Pack.Mogan was silent but kept stealing glances at me, trying so hard to suppress what he had in mind to say. I tilted my head at him, “Speak.” I muttered, increasing my walking pace. Everything was already getting dark, and we needed to get to the heart of the Pack before night fell. There was no sign of birds chirping or the Owls who-whooping on trees.However, it wasn't surprising since the Pack was more careful and well-organized because of the wolf hunter. And about birds and other bush animals, this pack wasn't even a conductive habitat for them because of the Miasma hovering around, which was likewise harmful to their health.“No doubt, Piro was the one that pushed Camila off the cliff, however—“ “You finally joined the missing pieces, goddess right?” I glanced at him and asked. No wonder, I got no reaction from him when I threw
Zedex POVStrangely, my heart missed a beat as I snapped my neck, turning around. I felt a hard string pulled deep down my soul when I couldn't catch a glimpse of her.I haven't paid much attention to her, ever since we left Vermilion Pack. All through the ride, Grandpa and Mogan’s words kept clashing through my mind constantly, as I tried as hard to suppress them, not let them get to me.Unexpectedly, "Camila." Her name rolled out of my lips, as my eyes widened in terror, darting back and forth in search of her. My heart began beating rapidly, my breath almost choking me.I hastily turned around and began walking back, amidst the guards."Where is she?" My voice came out in a low groan.Instantly, Piro knelt to the ground, bowing. "She-she mistakenly slipped off the cliff and fell." He sputtered, avoiding my gaze.His words were like a dagger stabbing my heart, as my chest tightened. Zov, my wolf, let out a roar deep within, and my eyes flickered colors - amber, gold, and green. He w
CamilaI felt a sharp, stabbing pain pierced through my chest, and my breath choked in my throat. His words hit me like a crushing blow, leaving my heart reeling. Was he really adamant about sending me to Troy to suffer? Did he really hate me that much, wanting me out of his sight as soon as possible?No doubt, he was truly fulfilling the promise he had made to me on our second encounter. 'It's not so simple to seek death,' he had said coldly. 'Living will be a torment that I will grant you for the rest of your life.' His words sounded loud and fresh in my head as if it were yesterday.Little tears tickled at the corner of my eyes, and I tilted my head away from all gazes, blinking them away. I sniffed in and wiped my face with the back of my hands. At this moment I had to let go of the clingy part of me that desperately wished he would save me like he always did, and take my fate into my own hands.Suddenly, Beta Mogan emerged from behind Alpha Zedex's carriage. I never knew he had
Camila I opened the curtain again. I stole one last glance outside. My gaze swayed around the small crowd, hoping to see him one last time. Then, I saw him—Alpha Zedex’s Grandfather, standing behind the big pillar. He was away from the rest of the crowd, leaning on his walking stick. Our gaze met, and I felt a throb in my heart.His eyes drooped, his eyebrows furrowed in compassion and sadness as his lips curled downward in a sympathetic smile.He must have been feeling guilty, knowing he couldn't change Zedex’s mind despite his objection. But I wasn't angry, because I understood Zedex’s stubborn nature. His words were rules, and not even his Grandpa could change his mind.As my gaze wandered around the crowd, I felt a pang in my heart as sadness washed over me. Leaving behind the people that genuinely love and care for me was heart-wrenching. My long stay here had been hellish, from one pain to another, but the few people who had comforted me—even when they had no power to change
CamilaMy heartbeat fastened as I began to feel restless. No doubt one part of me was ready to face any outcome, yet another part of me was scared. I mean, why wouldn't I be? When they were going to drag me to another wolf's den, how would I survive or fight my way out?Thoughts were still flooding in my mind when Madam Gabby and Bianca rushed into the room. Surprisingly, Dixie wasn't with them this time around, and I wondered why. I felt a little sad because I didn't even know when I would see them again or receive their care, which really broke my heart. Because at this point, it felt like my life was hanging on a thread."Holy Goddess!" Bianca exclaimed, her mouth dropped in shock. She squatted in front of me and face-palmed my swollen face. "What the hell happened to your face? Did you fight with a beast?" she asked.Madam Gabby slightly hit her shoulder. "No jokes.""I'm serious," Bianca clarified. "Who did this to her?" She pointed at my face, her face squeezed into a hard fro
Camila The five guards stood in rows, blocking the entrance of the room. Their gaze landed on me, then averted to Madam Gabby's direction. Instantly, their jaws dropped, and they quickly bowed their heads."Sorry, Madam Gabby. I never knew it was you," one of the guards muttered, slightly raising his head. No doubt, she was highly respected. Who wouldn't? I mean, she was Alpha Zedex's babysitter when he was younger, and the pack must have acknowledged her for that, commanding such respect.These memories made me recall the first time I met her. I could still remember how those fiercely wolves who wanted to attack me the night I attempted to escape quickly withdrew the moment she intervened."Ahem!" Madam Gabby cleared her throat with a low, raspy sound and quickly composed herself to shake off her anxiety; it was clearly written all over her."What are you guards doing here?" she asked, trying to make her voice firm. One of them shook his head."We heard voices inside and ran in to
Camila While I was making a customer's coffee at the coffee shop, my coworker Lyra silently handed me a brown envelope and then left. I tilted my head, trying to recall who could have sent it. The name "Hallward" on the envelope provided a clue. ‘He should've called me over. I wonder what’s inside.’ I dropped the envelope in front of me, feeling a strange knot in my stomach. Sia entered the kitchen, her brow furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong, Mila?" she asked, nudging my shoulder. I sighed, my shoulders sagging under the weight of unspoken fears. "I don't know, Sia." Sia crouched down, lifting my chin. "Talk to me, what's bothering you?" I remained silent, my gaze shifting to the envelope. Being the perceptive person she was, she noticed and quickly picked it up. "Wait! Did the boss already pay you?" Her eyes widened in shock, teasingly wiggling her eyebrows in her usual playful manner, trying to make me laugh. I scoffed, rolling my eyes. ‘Was she going to cl...
