CamilaAlpha Zedex paced impatiently around the room, his fingers grasped behind his back shaking. One could tell he was trying to keep his anger under control, given that Tyla refused to utter a word. Tyla was covered in sweat and was speechless, unable to find her voice to speak while her gaze remained glued in my direction. Everyone could feel the tension thickening, as the atmosphere was electrifying in the room, and the scent of fear lingered in the air.The pain overwhelming my body was instantly replaced with fear. Even I was scared of what response Tyla would give, as I didn't know what was going on in her mind."Don't make me repeat myself, Tyla!" His voice growled with rage as he veered in our direction, sending us a murderous glare.Alpha Zedex was not one to joke with, and Tyla knew better than not to make him repeat himself. Immediately, she began hitting her forehead on the floor repeatedly. "Forgive me, forgive me, Alpha. I deserve death." She kept pleading, even tho
Alpha ZedexZov my wolf, sneered in rage within me, as I tilted my head to the side to see who dared interrupt my order. At this point, he was the one taking control, as my brownish eyes color glowed brightly like a ring of fury fire. Anger was surging through my veins as I clenched and unclenched my fist. Zov isn't planning to take it slightly with whosoever it may be. It always baffled me why he always took control of my mind whenever it concerned Camila.The mate bond is unexpectedly getting stronger by the day. He could sense anything about her, most especially her pains; he felt it down to his bone marrow. However, whenever I inflict pain on her and when he can't control me, he withdraws back deep into my soul whimpering sadly.A few hours ago, I was shocked at how he was pushed to the edge just by the mere sight of an omega laying hands on Camila, Zov almost lost his mind, and wouldn’t want to hear any other thing apart from punishing the maid who dare touched his mate several
CamilaThe moment I saw him collecting the whip from the guards, my face turned pale, like blood was drained out of my body. My body began shivering as I shook my head in refusal, more tears streaming down my face and I began ambling backward. Suddenly the once-sober crowd began roaring out in laughter, as they all pointed their fingers at me while I kept ambling backward, with fear crippling my chest.“Yes! The human girl deserves to be punished!”“Loved how the table is turned around!”“Now our Alpha is making the right decision!”I kept hearing words from different directions, as they all made a mockery of me. I couldn’t even look at anyone's face, because their taunting voice felt like a whirlwind of hatred surrounding me, as their murderous glance pierced through my skin.‘I’m the enemy here after all. They all wanted me dead!’ My heart kept racing.“Strip and tie her down!” The Alpha’s voice growled loudly, and instantly every other voice snapped shut.The moment his order hit
Camila"Everyone leave!" he yelled, and everyone hastily ran away, murmuring among themselves. I didn't miss noticing the excitement lingering in their eyes, especially the men who seemed to think the report was the most amazing news they'd heard for ages. 'Why would they wish me death?' My heart shattered as tears clouded my eyes. I gazed at the older men and women who stayed behind after Zedex's order.Suddenly, an elderly woman stepped forward, her hair white and lengthy. "Alpha, we need to discuss this immediately," she said, her nervousness evident as she slightly bowed. Without a word, Zedex began storming away, and the elders quickly trailed behind him.The guards hastily ran to me and untied me. They raised me, and I limply fell into their arms. However, they dragged me away. Along the way, my mind reeled in despair. Why was I so hated by these werewolves? What wrong had I done to deserve all this pain and suffering? Had I committed some terrible sin in my past life to dese
CamilaThe air in my lungs dried up, as I clung to Pa Billie’s leg. My hope precariously hung in the air. And with each passing minute, the anxiety spreading through out my body became intensified as Pa Billie stared down at me. His expression calm, yet unreadable, I fought to steady my racing heart and I grasped on a single thread of hope that he would believe my lies.He was silent for what seemed like forever, slowly I muttered, “Grandpa…”“Where did you get this scar from?” He questioned, staring at my back intensively.His words throwing me off guard, as I stared at him with a furrowed brows. “Which scar?” “The thin line at the middle of your back.” He pointed.My mouth curved into a “O” as my gaze blinked rapidly, “Its a birth mark.” I responded, sitting up straight on the ground.He nodded his head, thoughtfully. “Can I touch it?” He asked politely. I shrugged my shoulder before nodding In acceptance. I turned my back very well to face him, then I lowered my neck to give him
Alpha ZedexMy gaze remained glued to the ground. Her voice which was filled with despair and anguish echoed in my head, resounding like a raging wave as she spoke up in defense. Yet, I remained calm, watching her lay motionless on the ground, my fist clenching and unclenching in restraint.The council member’s reaction to her outburst was predictable. I already knew the anger surging in their vein the moment I sent for her, impatiently waiting to be unleashed. Zov, my wolf wasn’t having it either. Just the sight of them insisting on killing her, made him struggle from within me, Yet I still got my fist clenched to control him. I know the stakes are high, and a single misstep of words or actions might cause a heavy disaster. I maintained my calm demeanor as the guards rushed in, and began dragging her away. Their lips curled up in a triumphant grin, and they nodded their words at my decision to stand by them.I sat upright, looking at everyone’s faces as they stared back at me, ant
Alpha ZedexI was thunderstruck at Grandpa's words. The fury in my eyes died down, and my eyelashes blinked rapidly as confusion washed over me.'Is Grandpa also trying to rebel?' My mind jumbled with thoughts. He knew better than anyone that choosing the human over his people was a grave offense without forgiveness.My shoulder slumped as I tried to steady my racing heart. "Why?" I whispered, loud enough for him to hear me.A soft chuckle escaped his lips, and he turned his back against me. "I won't let you hand over your only surviving mate to Troy," he responded, his voice dripping with venom.I stumbled back, my eyes widening in shock. For the first time in years, I heard Grandpa use such a tone, which made my heart sink into my stomach.I hastily ran and stood in front of him, my chest heaving in rapid breaths. "Why?" I asked again, staring at him intensively.'Does this human have the power of bewitching people into risking everything for her? Even Grandpa is standing up for her
CamilaMy eyes were still wide open, shining brightly like the early rise of the sun, even in the darkness of night. They were red and swollen due to my endless crying, and my throat was so sore that I could barely hear my own voice.Ever since I was brought back to this awful room from the meeting chamber, I woke up to find myself soaked in water. My mind flashed back to what had happened in the meeting chamber, and I recalled how I was so scared that I had peed on myself and fainted afterward.Fear trickled down my skin at the thought of the forthcoming danger of being strangled by those impatient wolves who wanted me dead and out of their pack.Now I understood the anxiety that came with knowing the exact day you would die. It was better not to know when death would come. I preferred it when I was asleep, which would result in less pain and less torture.Even when I received my doctor's report back home about my health condition, he only stated that I had three years to live withou
Zedex "Three... I—" I couldn't finish what I had to say, suddenly Emery and Madison slumped to the ground. 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
