Dear readers,finally a new chapter.What do you think of this new turn?Who owns the mysterious pendant?
Tamsyn's povSeven years agoI sat on the ground a few walks away from our pack as I observed my cousins: Lily and Rose who were our beta's children,novalia, and then Cruz playing all in their white wolf forms.As usual, we came here after our warrior training to have fun for a while. The Sun was high in the sky and it was my usual day of fun but I felt worried.As the daughter of the alpha, I trained from four a.m. to nine a.m.But today Mom had asked me to stop training by seven. Weirdly, she asked me to go play.My intuition told me something was wrong and my heart couldn't stop racing.My doubt was confirmed when my bestie and cousin: Arden came running our way all sweaty. His blond hair stocked to his face and his bare foot was dirty.“Tamsyn, the Luna asked you to come back as soon as possible."“What happened?"I heard Novalia asking. I turned to see them naked and sweaty since they had just shifted to their human form.“No time for questions. Come back to the pack" he said firmly
CASPIAN'S POV«Caspian?I will never forgive nor forget the fact that you were present but you didn't save me."my brother Atticus said standing in front of me in his younger version. His pale lip twisted evilly.“But what If I couldn't Atti? What if I tried but I couldn't?"My younger version pleaded.“It doesn't matter anymore. It's in the past" he roared and I shivered.“But if it is all in the past then why can't you forget?" my younger self asked worried.“Someone else could have done it and I will have forgotten but you Caspian, you are my blood. For to that reason, I can't forget, and believe me brother you have to pay"he finished in a cold voice.Before his laughter reverberated while he disappeared.A chill traveled down my spine and I opened my eyes only to realize, I was having my usual nightmare. It was just a nightmare less scary than others.My name is Caspian di Luca, Alpha of the Rising Stars pack. My parents Ashton and Katana di Luca are known for their unique skills with
TAMSYN'S POVI tied my soft brown hair into a ponytail as I stood in the small wooden room we had constructed before. I filled my black jean's pockets with chewing gum for my work. Looking around there was nothing that I hadn't packed. My phone rang at that moment: I saw the council's name and immediately answered the call.“Tamsyn, the alpha is aware of your visit. Now do you need anything?"“I need a packet of chewing gum still sealed. We need earbuds. We will all sleep in the same bedroom. Prepare for six beds. We need one laptop in our room. Then Alpha, tell him that we don't need Omega's to clean our rooms, we can do it by ourselves,"Anderson chuckled softly:“Anything else?"“We need at least 3 notebooks and I think that is all,"“Then I will call him to let him know. I wish you all the best Tamsyn,"“Thanks, Anderson, "I whispered.I turned to find my group members looking at me. Novalia then placed the map we have been using for our nomad life on my bamboo bed:“So, the risin
CASPIAN'S POVI paced my office, with my hands deep in my pocket. My wolf has been restless for a while now and I still didn't know the reason. To be truthful, the beast had refused to talk to me.Finally tired of pacing, I stopped in front of the glass walls to have a good view of my pack.Our guest had finally arrived and it took everything I had not to go welcome the famous leader of the Blue eye rogues. Feeling how restless my wolf was, I feared losing control and shifting if I went out to meet them.“They just settled in alpha, "Aslan mind-linked me.“What are they like? Do you think they are capable of handling this case?"I asked eager to know his answer.He was silent and then said:“Their leader is pretty much young for someone who solved the “katanga" case. But when I see how fast she was in taking down our most trained and trusted warriors, then I think she shouldn't be underestimated,"Why did I feel the sudden need to meet her? No one had fascinated me this way before.“OK
CASPIAN'S POVI had just finished my work and was about to go home when a knock stopped me on my track.I lifted my head to see Aslan behind the transparent glass doors.Throwing my pen on the table I lean on my desk and mind link him to enter.With a smile on his face, he pushed the door open and moved towards me with a yellow file in his hands.“Alpha, the leader of the blue-eyed rogues asked for a meeting with you tonight. I just confirmed with your new PA that you are free as from four pm. Should I tell her to get ready by 3?"I smirked hearing that my mate had finally decided to meet me after ignoring me for two days. She must have finished nursing her wounds from the agreement to ignore each other.When she left my office two days ago with a large smile on her face, I thought she was different from all the other women. Turns out I was wrong because she ignored me for the next two days and I realized she wasn't as strong as she claimed.Today I was going to see if she will be that
TAMSYN POVAfter training for the last six hours, I felt like giving everything else up and going for a nap but I had a meeting with Alpha Caspian so I gave up the idea and instead headed for the bathroom.I winced at how sore my body was and after much hesitation, I sank into the hot tub and then closed my eyes trying to enjoy myself.“Tamsyn, we have an hour before the meeting, so I will go for a run."Arden's mind linked me.“I don't think it's a good idea. That Alpha has been looking for the slightest mistake to make a fuss. I will advise you to go after the meeting,"There was silence for a moment before he finally answered:“Don't worry about Alpha Caspian. I will be at that meeting before him. So am I allowed to leave now?"Arden has never been this insistent. Believing that something was wrong with him, I answered:“You can go. Take care of yourself,"“I will see you," he replied.I was still wondering where the others had gone when the door to our room was banged open and my co
CASPIAN POVMy mate was serious when she said they would go back to their room and I understood that I had to give up on our futile fight for our collaboration to work.When I agreed to her terms and conditions, her group members were back and in less than two hours we had set up a perfect plan on how to operate. Her group members were serious and very precise in their way of collecting data. The twins were certainly very annoying with their comments and snarky remarks, but they were also very productive in their work.They had a remarkable way of thinking and that sped up the research and data collection process.I admit that I was a bit reluctant when she proposed being my PA because I felt like it was a trap but then I realized that it was the only way out of this mess. Also the earlier I submit to all her demands, the earlier will she leave my pack. Novalia was given a job in the kitchen, Arden whom I didn't like much became my army general, and Lily and her twin became maids ar
TAMSYN'S POVMy feet meeting his midway in the air, I smirked at him and gave him an unexpected kick in the middle and watched as he stumbled, then fell on his knees while clutching his middle.I thought we were done and I was about to turn and leave but to my surprise, he didn't give up but instead attacked again, and this time I dodged him swiftly.Then he came back with a second, strong kick, taking me by surprise as I stumbled and fell to the ground. The pain I felt when my butt hit the ground was nothing compared to the ache and fury in my heart.It was unexpected since this was the first time I had been defeated by a stranger. Arden, my cousin had defeated me before but that was family. I would have given up if it was a stranger but it was the arrogant Alpha Caspian; the reason why I wasn't going to give up so easily.Before I stood up, he approached and stared at me with a smirk on his beautiful face, and that only increased my anger.Taking him by surprise, I tackled him to the
TAMSYN'S POVOnce Caspian was carried to his chambers, I tried my best to calm down but it wasn't working. Tired of passing around in the pack house gym, I finally went out to look for Aslan or Nolan to hear from them as to what could have possibly happened to my mate.I didn't have to far before meeting Aslan who headed my way with a smile;"What is wrong with your Alpha? Why did he suddenly faint?"I asked as soon as I stood before him."I don't know what to say. He is not feeling well," he replied hesitantly his eyes never meeting mine.Silence enveloped us as I tried to calm down my erratic breathing. My heart was racing faster than ever. Was it Capian's situation or something else was wrong?"Are you ok Miss Tamsyn? You are pale," Alan asked his voice full of concern. How to explain to him that his alpha's situation was terrifying me?"Can I see your Alpha?"I asked avoiding his question."I don't think it would be possible because he is not well and I doubt he would be able to talk
CASPIAN'S POV Walking to the dungeon with my mate in front of me, I felt happier than I could ever be. Her hair dangled to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. I felt the need to keep my fingers in those beautiful brown tangles. "Why is it that every time we walk around no one wants to stare at you? Everybody seems so afraid of you," she asked stopping to stare at me as I joined her. "I am their alpha and of course, they have to respect me, "I replied ignoring the dark stare she gave me. "Are you sure about that?" she queried and I nodded positively. A moment of silence went by before she finally told me what was on her mind: "I heard you killed many of your assistants just because they didn't do the work well or if you wanted them and they refused, then you killed them," "Luna! Tamsyn !"I groaned hearing what rumors about me. If someone else had said it, I wouldn't have protested but in the case of Tamsyn, it didn't sit well with me. I could feel anger rising in my veins.
TAMSYN'S POV I went to sleep as soon as the door to our bedroom was closed. My cousins were all sleeping, and I wondered where they could have been when I was leaving this room for the gym. I didn't immediately fall asleep as my heart was still racing. Caspian's declaration had put me in all my states. Was he really serious about giving us a chance to bond? What about my mission? "but he said you could only achieve your objectives if you work together right? Which means that you are not the only one the bond has been affecting but him too."my wolf inserted. 'Girl, what are you saying? I cannot tell him about my family and my pack remember, "I asked and it was a long moment before she finally spoke to me. 'Tamsyn, this is your mate we are talking about here. Which means your destinies are intertwined. You want to avenge our parent's death, and I am happy to help but remember that one day when you have confidence enough in him, you have no choice but to tell him. He is a part of
CASPIAN'S POV I couldn't just stop tasting and discovering my mate and neither was she resisting. If months ago someone had told me that one day I would be standing in the gym kissing the mate I thought would be my weakness, I would have eventually killed that person. But today, I don't know if I can let this woman in my arms go. Tamsyn, Leader of the blue-eyed rogues. I went from hating her presence to yearning for her touch. How did I come here? I couldn't explain it. Feeling that I wouldn't be able to hold on longer if I continued with this ravaging kiss, I broke the contact. Ignoring her whimpering, I placed my nose at the base of her slender neck breathing in as much of her scent as I could before hugging her as if my life currently depended on that. She didn't push me away. Instead, her arms tightened around me and we stood there savoring the moment. What could be more beautiful than this? I felt satisfied and complete. I was wrong and the goddess was right to have paired
TAMSYN'S POV Being knocked to the ground by that huge wolf came unexpectedly.WE were cautious, and we thought that organizing the party in the pack house would help attract him to strike again but little did we know that he lived with us. How was he able to make his way to these abandoned parts of the pack house? Who helped him access the pack house? I stood there glued to the ground. What would have happened to me if I was all alone and my mate wasn't around? He took me by surprise, and I had no time to shift. Although his species of wolf is one I had never seen before, I would have been able to do something to defend myself. 'FOR ONCE, WON'T YOU ACCEPT THAT OUR MATE SAVED US?' my wolf interrupted my thoughts. Yeah! He saved us and I had to be thankful. Rosa was simply knocked out and from how peaceful she was, there was no doubt that she would be fine. "Are you ok Tamsyn ?"Arden came to hug me. I didn't hug him back but instead stood there unable to say anything. "Tamsy
CASPIAN'S POV Releasing a short breath, I sat down after the last couple came to bow to me as their Alpha. I might have been the Alpha who did everything for them to be happy but I was never the type to sit down and listen to their complaints or be there during their sad and happy moment. As an alpha, I gave orders and they obeyed and I thought that was being a ruler until today when I took part in this ceremony and blessed the young mate's union. Even though some adults still feared approaching me because of my history of "wolves' throat rip", the pups didn't hesitate and that gave me a weird sense of warmth. The mating rituals had just ended and we were all trying to enjoy ourselves when Tamsyn walked up to me in all her glory wearing a blue floor-length gown that perfectly stick to her body exposing her perfectly rounded ass: "Alpha I would like to talk to you for a moment" she whispered to me, keeping her mesmerizing gaze on mine. Nodding at her, I followed her in silence tryi
TAMSYN'S POV The two new omegas were killed a few minutes apart and I could see my mate's wolf getting restless. His eyes were constantly changing to red and his fist remained tied in a knot. His reaction made my wolf restless. The murderer seemed to be playing with us. Each time he killed, he made sure to leave the corpses exposed. The worst is he left no indices and that was what got me worried because with no indices, we couldn't do much. Another thing was that the absence of clues made it difficult to determine whether the case was related to our original case. Was it just a psycho wolf or a vampire who felt pleasure in killing beings from the supernatural world? Or was it a being sent by our enemies to confuse us and distract us from our original purpose? After inspecting the corps and letting Arden do all the required procedures, I decided to organize a small meeting that could help us decide on our next step. I made sure to keep all the information obtained from our obser
CASPIANS POVSitting at my desk, I tried hard to focus on my work, but it seemed impossible. I was unable to stop myself from thinking of Tamsyn.She was so young yet very intelligent. I was supposed to be thinking about the mission, but all I thought of was her. She haunted my dreams and made my wolf restless.She created sensations in my body, and I couldn't help but wonder if she was aware of how much she affected me.The recent murder in my pack made me realize that making peace and working with her was the best solution both for the pack and myself. Having her by my side made me focus, and my wolf was always calm whenever she was around.The only thing I felt like doing next was bringing her into my home, and just like that, my need to see her gone vanished. What I wanted to do next was to make her change her mind slowly, and one day she would realize how strong our bond is and what a blessing the Luna gave us.I was still thinking of a new way to escape all that when a knock sou
TAMSYN'S POV Checking the bodies, I could not see any bite or injury that may have led to their death.All three bodies were pale as if they were drained of their blood, and for a moment I wondered if vampires were our murderers but I quickly canceled that alternative since there was no bite. "I have an impression that our victims were poisoned,'' I revealed turning to face Caspian who had been staring at me silently.“What makes you say that? I mean, how will you know that?"Aslan asked frowning. I searched with my gaze behind him to check if my cousins were already present.They chose that moment to enter and I could only refocus on Aslan's questions."A Few years ago, we had a similar case. The bodies drained of their blood and their eyes were widely opened just like these bodies," I replied as my co-members made themselves comfortable. ''Aslan, please brief them on the case while I check a few things with your Alpha,'' I ordered and he nodded, turning to them while I turned
