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?" h

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 52: Nameless

    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 fa

    Alpha Zedex Mogan turned and glanced at me. I nodded at him as approval to go on and speak up. He turned around and faced the hall members, whose gaze was fixed on him with rapid attention. He grasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in front of my table. "The moment we stepped into this hall... we found everything odd but chose to ignore and watch how things unfold," Mogan began, while staring at everyone's face as he spoke. Alpha Alphine strode closer to Mogan. "It was quite impressive to know how wary you were." He chimed in, while the other members nodded in support, except for the Full Mountain Pack members, who were feeling sobered. Mogan flashed them a dry smile before he continued. "We all know that Nameless has only two colors in the world: white and grey... and the white kills faster, which was the one added in the cupcakes." He turned to face me. "My Alpha's tea wasn't poisoned." He dropped a bombshell, as he stared into my eyes. "What?!" The

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 54: Immune to Poison

    Camila I felt a rough, strong hand resting on my wrist, and like a flash, I sprang up to my feet and stumbled backward until my back hit against a gigantic tree behind me. My eyes fluttered open and the darkness of the night enveloped me. I narrowed my eyes to adjust, as the thick smoke wavered in the air like a living creature. For a few seconds, I thought I’d reunited with Miss Abigail and Sis in the Afterlife-–but the throbbing pain I was feeling in my head made me see otherwise. I instinctively raised my hand to my head, and a painful moan escaped my lips as a sharp pain shot through my whole body. I removed my hand to see it was sticky with blood and I took a deep breath to shake off the dizziness while ignoring the dull ache in my arms, and knees. After a while, I tried to recall how I got here. ‘I felt a hand push me down the mountain… who could that be?’ My mind reeled, thinking who would be my potential suspect, instantly it clicked in my mind… “Piro! Yes, it was Piro.” I

    Camila I grasped my voice, barely above a whisper. “I…can’t breathe. The Miasma is cho…..” I trailed off, pretending that my chest was heaving as I struggled to speak. Without hesitation, he opened the bag hanging loosely on his neck and began searching thoroughly, and soon he brought out something molded like a ball in a black form. He used his hands and forced my mouth open inserted the black molded ball into my mouth and shut it. “Don't talk, chew on it slowly.” He instructed and quickly helped me raise my upper body. I sat down on the floor and chewed on the molded ball softly like he said. It tasted salty and bitter. I almost regretted why I had to lie, hence, could’ve escaped these, however, this was the only way to prevent further trouble, so I had to endure the bitterness. He leaned closer and examined my head, “Your head is bleeding, let me stop it for you” He muttered and reached out to his bag again and brought out an anointment. He slowly applied it for me while I

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 56; At the blink is death

    Camila My hand clung onto my head tightly, as painful grunts escaped my lips. The memories of Sia and the prisoner’s death kept surging, threatening to burst my head. This was exactly how they lay on the bare ground, covered in blood. I slowly opened my eyes, staring at him. His face was emotionless, cold, and lifeless. The emptiness in his eyes was palpable, and a mischievous smirk of satisfaction danced in his eyes and on his lower lip. " Did he really kill these people?" I stared at him, tears freely streaming down my chin. I looked at this man, whom strangely I have come to care about, and no matter how much I tried to understand his past and how much it has impacted his present actions, I couldn't look away from the monster he is becoming now. Zedex never uttered a word to me. Instead, he raised his bloody hands to his face and kept staring at them, his shoulders swelling boastfully, feeling pride. " Next!" His voice growled loudly, vibrating throughout the building due

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 57: KILL HER!

    Camila My face paled, fear and shock draining the color from my cheeks. ‘So he was Alpha Troy, Madam Gabby warned me to avoid at all costs?’ My heart raced. He is the Alpha of the Full Mountain Pack. The man who requested that I should be brought here to be killed? Panic rose inside me as I struggled to breathe. “Alpha Zedex!!” Alpha Troy’s Voice growled loudly as if he had won a grand prize by holding me captive. Despite my fear, I was still struggling under his grip to let me go. " You protected her, back then in the Vermilion pack!" He said, pulling me closer to him. ‘What was he talking about? What protection?’ “You even fought your half-brother because of her!" He said again, “You were even ready to fight the whole pack for her, even when you clearly knew humans is our blood-rooted enemy.” In a flash, Alpha Zedex snapped to face us. For the first time, his eyes flashed an emotion that couldn't be described. Was it fear? Or daring? I don't know. However, he had hi

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 58: CAMILA IS MINE!

    CamilaAlpha Troy stepped forward, using his hand to smooth my hair and move a string out of my face. He leaned forward, rubbing my chin with the back of his index finger. "Flawless and soft," he complimented, then moved my face sideways in disgust.I turned my gaze to that one guard, who had helped me cross the bridge, and at the same time, he raised his gaze to me. Our gazes met, and I noticed how he slightly shook his head, as if he was trying to communicate with me through his eyes. I raised my eyebrows, trying to understand his unspoken words, but only ended up feeling more confused. My gaze quickly shifted to Mogan, and our eyes locked.My eyes then trailed down to his lips, and I noticed that he was trying to communicate with me without speaking. I followed the movement of his lips to try and understand what he was saying."Camila, fight back!" Those were Mogan's words. Were these the same words the guard was trying to convey to me? But how could I fight such powerful wolves?S

All the while, when Max and Troy were taunting her and making fun of her vulnerability, I decided not to interfere because I was enjoying how far they were pushing her to her limit.Zov couldn't bear the sight of his mate in trouble because he sensed her fear and pain. However, I had to push him to the back of my mind.

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 67: Zedex, Trust me!

    Camila POV My eyelashes fluttered open as my gaze landed on the ceiling. The faint scent of Zedex’s sandalwood cologne lingered in the air, grounding me in his space. It was familiar, and I slowly raised my upper body to sit upright on the bed. My eyes wandered around the room, and I instantly recognized Zedex’s chambers. I stretched my arms and twisted slightly, surprised to feel no pain in my body or joints—not even a headache. The usual ache in my ribs from past beatings was gone, replaced by an unnatural vigor. I felt renewed and strong as if energized from within. ‘When did we return to the Vermillion Pack?’ My thoughts raced, scrambling to recall what had happened. In a flash, memories flooded my mind: Max and Troy harassing me, Zedex intervening by severing their hands. Their snarls echoed in my skull, followed by the metallic tang of blood. My face fell with sadness. The rivalry between the brothers showed no sign of ending, and it pained me to know it was all because o

    Alpha Zedex.I turned around and walked further into my room, sitting at my dining table. I then untied my mask from my face, showing my scar, before pouring myself a cup of tea. After some time, Mogan didn’t hear a word from me, which made him lift his head. At that moment, I turned and our eyes met. I waved my hand, inviting him to come closer. “Come, sit,” I said softly, sipping my tea. The warmth of the drink going down my throat couldn’t compare to the sorrow in my heart. Mogan stood up and walked over to me, sitting across from where I sat. I picked up the small kettle and poured tea into both of our cups. “Zedex…” he hesitated, studying my face as I looked at him calmly. He expected me to be upset for him using my name, but my steady gaze encouraged him to continue. “I know Grandpa took it out on you,” he said quietly, understanding my pain. I would say Mogan is the only one who truly gets me. He sees right through my attempts to hide my feelings. He has witnessed me at my

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 65; Secret unrevealed.

    Alpha Zedex.The intense pain on my bare chin made me look at him, feeling as if I had been punched in the stomach. The hurt glimmered in my eyes, making them shiny with tears. The shock and pain from Grandpa’s slap crashed over me like a wave, and my mouth fell open because I couldn’t understand why he was defending Max, even though he had planned to hurt me. “Grandpa!” I shouted, my voice trembling. The anger and frustration I held back spilled out like a dam breaking. Tears welled in my eyes, and I felt my face flush with rage. I balled my hands into fists to keep my emotions in check. “Enough, Zedex!” he responded, his eyes filled with disappointment and sadness as he looked into mine. “Why did you hurt your brother?” His expression suddenly softened, and he began to cry. “Hmph!” I scoffed, unable to stop a hurtful laugh from escaping as I stood up from the floor. I wasn't surprised by what he said; it was always the first question he asked whenever Max and I fought. But what

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 64: Hot Slap

    Alpha Zedex Lan kept a steady smile on his face, but his clenched fist revealed his inner turmoil. The sadness in his eyes was unmistakable, though he did his best to hide his sorrow. “Just tell me, did you see Max? How is he?” Lan pressed again, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. No matter what had transpired, as I mentioned earlier, family ties run deep, but betrayal leaves wounds that no relationship can mend. I turned to Grandpa, who stepped closer, his intense gaze fixed on me. I could tell he was anxious—eager for any news about his grandson. There was no escaping this moment; it would come out eventually. Mogan noticed the tension between us and moved forward. The sound of his boots echoed in the quiet hall as he clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly, drawing everyone’s attention. “The Full Mountain Pack deceived us,” he declared loudly. “It was all a lie. There was no human attack. There were no killings. Alpha Troy and Max lured our Alpha there t

    Alpha ZedexAmore pulled his finger away from her pulse and let out a sharp breath, rubbing his temple. "If I'm right, I've only heard of one bloodline like this—the—" "I forbid you, Amore," I interrupted, my eyes darkening. This was a forbidden topic because the name was a curse. It was part of old horror stories that scare pops and young wolves. The Oswaldo Howlers had vanished long before my father was born; they were eliminated during the blood purge due to their terrifying abilities. They were the most powerful with the strongest gifts, which made them seen as evil. If Camila had even a trace of their cursed bloodline… “Give her more poison.” My voice was dangerously calm as I moved closer to get a better look. Amore was taken aback by my command, his body tensing. “B-but Alpha, the poison didn’t—” “Then use silver.” I interrupted sharply. At this point, I needed proof, and I was willing to go to any lengths. Amore’s fingers trembled slightly as he took a deep breath. “Alph

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 62: Camila, who are you?

    Alpha Zedex"Alpha Zedex!" Beta Mogan's voice cut through the air.I couldn't respond because my mouth was still locked with Camila's. Mogan, being the sharp-minded wolf, dismounted from his horse and approached our carriage."Shit! He can't see me like this," my mind pounded. Immediately, I struck the pressure point on her neck with my hand. Her body went limp as she weakly released me and collapsed, her back hitting against the wooden carriage bed.At that instant, I pulled away, and Mogan yanked open my carriage curtain, his eyes darting inside. Mogan's gaze swayed from Camila's unconscious body form back to me. His lips curved into a small smirk, but his expression hardened immediately and he cleared his throat, blinking away."Alpha, we're about to cross the bridge," he informed, and I gave a sharp nod and flicked my wrist, dismissing him.With a knowing grin, he let the curtain fall closed. But before the curtain fell, I caught the faintest curve of his smile. I knew he must be

    Alpha ZedexThe other carriage was taken away while Mogan and the rest of the guards hopped on their horses and began riding away.After a long-distance ride, I opened the animal skin curtain and stared outside. It was still early hours, as everywhere was dark, and the chilly breeze blew up leaves from the ground. Mogan kept hitting the horse to hasten up without delay.I closed the curtain and sat upright facing her, yet my mind was clouded with the events that happened back at Full Mountain Palace Hall. The way I brutally hurt them kept replaying fresh in my head, followed by the image of Grandpa and Lan.'How do I explain this to them?' My mind reeled. ‘Grandpa and Lan, how would they react to knowing about Max losing his hand? I just hope Grandpa's health doesn't worsen and Lan doesn't hate me for what I did to his brother because, above all, blood is thicker than water.’“Save me. Don't leave me, please,” A faint, barely audible whisper snapped me out of my thoughts, as my gaze t

    Alpha ZedexThe woman ran out and bowed before me with her head glued to the ground. “My Alpha Zedex, human hunters indeed attacked the pack, however, most of their men died the moment they stepped into the mountain because of the heavy Miasma. That way, they never had the chance to attack us and quickly retreated.” She disclosed what actually happened.Sally sprang to his feet and ran to the woman, standing by her side. “There was no bloodshed, no kidnapping?“ He asked, refusing to believe Troy would dare lie to me.Another man rushed forward and bowed, “Alpha Zedex, Sarah was telling the truth. Indeed, the human hunters came to attack, but they never succeeded, so they quickly retreated.” The man supported the woman’s words.My shoulder lightly slumped in disappointment as I gazed at Max. I wondered what he saw in Troy that made him align with him. When it came to age, Troy was far older than him with almost seventeen years gap, and also more experienced. I wondered what he was gain
