Hugo and Briella's bodies intertwined, they stood on the balcony overlooking the street in the arena. The thumping bass of the music filled their ears, but they were in their world, lost in the passion of the moment."The bathroom wasn't enough eh?" Hugo asked, smiling down at her.Briella's soft, husky voice broke the silence. "I love you, Hugo," she whispered, running her fingers through his thick, dark hair.Hugo's eyes sparkled in the dim light as he looked up at her. "I love you too, Briella," he replied, his voice deep and sincere.Suddenly, the door to the coat closet burst open, and a figure stumbled in. Briella gasped and sat up, her eyes wide with shock."Briella? Hugo?" the figure slurred, stumbling forward. It was Brittany, clutching a glass of wine in her left hand, and she was clearly tipsy.Hugo stood up quickly, pulling Briella to her feet with him. "Brittany, what are you doing here?" he demanded.Brittany's eyes widened as she took in the scene before her. "I...I don
Jude had been watching Hugo and Briella from afar, his heart aching with jealousy. He had been in love with Briella for years, but she had always been out of his reach. He had watched as she fell for Hugo, and it had torn him apart.But now, he saw an opportunity. Brittany was drunk and vulnerable, and he knew that he could use her to destroy Hugo and Briella's relationship. He approached her, his heart racing with anticipation. The next few minutes were crucial. He had to convince her to get on his side."Well, that was rough." He said leaning against the rail overlooking the street next to her. He had overheard the entire altercation standing just outside the door. Had hidden himself as Briella and Hugo walked past, fighting the urge to punch Hugo's face as he heard them talk. Now was his chance."Go away." Brittany replied, taking another swig from her glass. Hugo had to act fast, he didn't want to be too wasted while he laid out his plan to her."Brittany," he said, his voice low
Jude walked down the stairs and stepped into the bustling street filled with vibrant colors and sounds. The show was over, but he didn't care. The bounce in his step is a clear indicator of his good mood.With Brittany in his pocket, his plan was finally coming to life. All this time he spent, scheming and planning, all his efforts were finally paying off. Soon enough, the Prince of Rogues would have his Queen, beautiful, beautiful Briella, next to him.Jude couldn't help but smile in amused satisfaction, it was all coming together.A sleek black Porsche pulled up next to him, interrupting his thoughts. He turned to see who it was. The tinted windows rolled down slowly, and Jude had to peer in to see Jessica's smiling face."Fancy running into you here." She said, flashing her pearly white teeth at him.Jude rolled his eyes, in exasperation."How long have you been following me?" He asked. It was exactly like Jessica to pull this kind of stunt."Get in." She said, her smile disappeari
Zane pushed through the crowd making their way out of the concert venue. The show was over, a resounding success for the two packs that ensured that their influence among the elite of the city grew stronger. In terms of accomplishing that, he couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. But there was something else he had to do tonight, something he should have done a long time ago.Walking up the stairs and approaching the backstage, he took a deep breath steeling himself for the discussion he was about to have. He wished there was a better time, she couldn't possibly be in a good mood after what happened at the fashion show earlier that day, but he was tired of putting it off, he had to fix things with Bianca now.He could smell her behind the door, the heady scent that immediately made him feel calmer. It was that scent, that aura that swept him off his feet when they first met, he knew instantly that she was his mate then. Standing close to the door, he hesitated a moment before knoc
Jessica and Jude stood in the middle of the living room, neither of them willing to budge an inch. Jessica's fists were clenched at her side, her face a mask of anger and frustration. Jude was the picture of cool indifference, but his eyes betrayed the same emotion that Jessica was feeling - fear."You can't do this," Jessica said, her voice trembling with emotion. "You can't manipulate Brittany like this. It's wrong.""Oh, so now you're an expert on morality?" Jude sneered. "Where were you when I agreed to help Hugo and Briella in their plan to take over the company? It's not like you tried to stop me.""I was worried about you," Jessica said, her voice rising. "And I was also worried about Brittany. She's not like the rest of us. She isn't as strong. You have no right to force her into something like this.""I'm not forcing her," Jude said, his voice low and deadly. "I'm offering her a deal - one that she should take. If you don't want to help, then that's fine. But don't stand in m
Brittany looked at them like stupid, "Don't play dumb. You both left the fashion show after the first few models and went straight to Hugo, I saw you Briella and Bianca, I didn't miss the office romance either. I saw it." She admittedBriella looked embarrassed, "Okay, okay...so maybe we did do that. But that doesn't excuse you from what you did!" She insisted"Yeah, you were way out of line!" Bianca supported.Brittany sighed, "I know. I'm sorry. I just want to make sure you both realize that you're not perfect either.""Alright. We accept your apology. But from now on, you need to be more responsible and respectful when it comes to attending events like these." Briella said and moved to hug her sister."And you need to make sure you don't drink too much, or you could end up in a lot of trouble." Bianca joined the hug."I understand. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." Brittany said what she needed to say to get out of there, she could not bear to look at Briella's face any long
"Come in tell us." Jessica urged Brittany to speak, while Jude maintained his cool and simply watched, ready for the right moment to step in.They needed that important information.It was like something snapped inside of Brittany."No!" She said firmly"No? What do you mean no?" Jessica asked impatiently"I mean no, I know how important a mate bond is, even if I am yet to find mine, but I know it would shatter both Zane and Bianca if something like that were to happen to them, so no, I am not going to be a part of it, the only thing I am in for is to help break up Hugo and Briella, no other thing." She rambled until she was out of breath.Jessica gripped her hair in a frustrating manner, she looked to Jude for support."Okay, but you know you want to." Jude agreed and taunted."No, I don't want to." Brittany disagreed."Oh, trust me you do, remember how they flaunt their relationship in front of you, reminding you how you could not get your own mate, it wouldn't hurt to break them ap
Bianca and Zane decided to meet up to decide on how to merge the two packs, but the council members were not having it."No, you can't merge the packs." An old man said he was one of those that oppose the idea of bringing new faces to the SunVille pack.Bianca needed safety for her people in the SunVille pack, and so did Zane in the moonshine pack, so they spoke with the council members as best as they could. They argued their case, detailing the benefits of a merged pack. Zane spoke of how the Moonshine pack had skilled hunters, while Bianca talked about how the SunVille pack had healers and farmers who could help feed and care for the larger pack. But the old council members remained obstinate."We have been a self-sufficient pack for generations. We don't need outsiders," the old man said, his voice laced with bitterness.Bianca could sense the tension in the room, and she knew they had to act fast before the situation escalated. She stood up and faced the council members, her voic
The sound of Zane's voice in her ear pushed her over the edge. She cried out his name, her body quaking from the intense orgasm that rippled through her."Yes, Bianca, that's it." Zane gasped as her inner walls clenched around him, milking him for his release."Let go, Zane." Bianca breathed, urging him to finish."Mate, Bianca." Zane gasped her name as he found his release.The release took him over like a tidal wave, washing over him as his hips continued to thrust. "I can feel it."Bianca's breathing slowed as her body relaxed beneath him. "I can feel you."They lay together for a moment, both breathing hard. Zane's head was spinning from the intensity."I love you, Zane." Bianca whispered, repeating the same words over and over again."I love you so much, Bianca." Zane replied, using his mind link, the one they newly generated with their mating.The next day, the newly mated couple couldn't keep their hands off of each other, not that either of them minded.But, eventually, they t
"I will accept you with the condition that we mate and complete the whole mating under a full moon with our pack elders present." Those were the words Bianca uttered when she laid eyes on Zane.After several attempts from Zane to get Bianca to forgive him, eventually, she sent for him."I accept all the conditions, I accept." He agreed without missing a beat."Tonight." Bianca finalized, not wanting to waste any more time."Tonight?!" Zane was shocked, but who was he to decline? He accepted right away, with the condition that he had to go back to moonshine to make plans before the moon rises.His pack members were all happy for him, finally, he was going to be with his mate and be a complete Alpha.For Bianca, she wanted a hot steamy night where she'll indulge in every one of her desires with Zane as they mate under the moonlight. Her body was feeling hot as it was.Night came quicker than imagined, the moon was high up in the sky, and a tent was made for the two mates to perform thei
Before Zane woke up the next day, Bianca had taken every one of her pack members back home to SunVille."She left?" Zane asked, seeking confirmation from Ivan."Yes alpha, she left early this morning." Ivan nodded."She must have been exhausted, why would she leave early? Is it because of me?" Zane questioned, mostly at himself.After all the heartbreak Zane let her go through, it was no surprise Bianca would leave just to avoid talking to Zane.But, even at that, Zane knew he had to get dressed and go to the SunVille pack house to see Bianca, and if she allowed it, he would beg for her forgiveness.Zane quickly got dressed, jumped into his car, and drove as fast as possible to the SunVille pack house.When he arrived, he could feel the tense atmosphere that surrounded the pack house. Everyone seemed to be on edge, and he knew it was because of him. He took a deep breath and walked towards the pack house.As he walked towards the door, he could hear the sound of snarls and growls com
In the end, both the moonshine pack and SunVille pack decided it was best to march upon the rogues unsuspectingly.With all their warriors trained to fight both in human and wolf form, both Alpha Zane and Bianca were ready to conquer the rogues in their rogue Kingdom.The moon shone brightly upon the clearing where the two packs met, its light casting long shadows across the ground.The air was thick with tension as the two packs prepared themselves for battle.Alpha Zane stood at the front of his pack, his dark fur bristling with anticipation.He scanned the clearing, his sharp eyes searching for any sign of movement. Beside him, Bianca stood tall and resolute, her fur a brilliant shade of white in the moonlight."Are you ready?" Zane asked, turning to his pack.A chorus of growls and barks answered him, and Zane felt a surge of pride in his chest. These were his warriors, his pack, and they were ready to fight.With a nod, Zane signaled for his pack to move forward. They advanced sl
Alpha Zane was lost in thoughts before the war slowly approached."Now that it is all settled, we are going to use my mom's way the next morning.""I could finally rest a little and keep calm with a feeling that everything would be okay even deep down I knew it might not go that well.""I just needed to try what my mom said and then hope for the very best and nothing more.""I won't let her down, I will show her that I am her true son and my years of practice won't go just like that.""I won't let all her words and help be useless.""We would fight this war and win it. I am sure nothing could go wrong.""We would ambush them and fight them.""If they seem to be too stubborn for my liking, we would tear them into pieces one after the other.""This time we start with violence and then advocate peace later on.""And if they decide at that point not to go for peace, I can't blame Myself for ending their lives.""And I will use the death of my mother to push up how they killed my mother, a
"Honestly Zane, this might not work. These rogues can be trusted for one minute.""They might use this as an advantage and then turn against us at the last minute. We lost both of your mothers to this.""Are you sure you really still want to go with the same option which killed your mother?""This isn't smart of you. We can't lose guard. We can't just afford to risk the safety of the pack just because you want to give something a trial.""And I am ninety percent sure this won't work out. And we just can't risk this; we have a lot at stake." Bianca said with a cold look.She was really uncertain about his idea because even he wasn't sure he was doing the right thing.But she was right about it that if this plan backfires and the rogues turn against them, they would have lost guard.And won't have any hope of winning which will mean the fall of the entire pack.But Zane just felt it was better for them to try this method that would stop all these fighting and Killing once.And for all b
Jessica paced in the cabin that Jude owned, it was empty.Kit that there was nothing on there, but it felt like someone had not been in since the last week, like an abandoned home.After Zane saw Jessica prove herself, she was on the way to redemption and since the first phase of their plan was over, he let her leave with the right supervision.The moment she got her freedom, she went looking for her brother, who for unknown reasons had abandoned her.After searching up and down for him inside the cabin, she decided to look for some of his minions in one of the hideouts in the forest.With a determined look on her face, Jessica stepped out of the cabin and into the thick forest. She had a hunch that her brother's minions would know where he was hiding, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to find him.As she walked deeper into the forest, she could hear the sounds of nature all around her.The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the occasional snap of a twig.She ke
Before Kaden could make another move, a group of moonshine pack warriors emerged from the trees, surrounding Kaden. They tackled him to the ground, binding his hands and feet with heavy iron chains.Kaden struggled against his restraints, but it was no use. His eyes flashed with anger and a hint of fear as he looked up at the moonshine warriors."Don't hurt her," he growled, his eyes flicking to Jessica."As if we would," Zane said in amusement. "We need her alive to lure the other rogues to us."Jessica felt a knot tightening in her stomach. She had never been so nervous her entire life. "What...what do you mean?" She stuttered.Zane's eyes flashed with anger. "Isn't it obvious? You're going to lure the other rogues here so we can capture them." He snarled, his fangs flashing in the moonlight."But how?" She whispered, horrified."Don't worry, we'll think of something," he said, a cruel smile spreading across his lips."No! You don't understand, if they find out they'll kill me!"
"Today is the day Jessica, are you ready?" Zane asked her.It was finally time for them to lure out the rogues one by one, they were starting with Kaden, the rogue King's right-hand man.Kaden was a father figure to Jessica, so she knew it would not take much for her to convince him to walk straight into the moonshine pack trap."Yes, I am ready." She nodded in agreement."You know what to do?" He asked again and she nodded.She was supposed to go to the rogue kingdom to conjure a plan to lure Kaden out.As Jessica made her way toward the rogue kingdom, she couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. Kaden had always been there for her, had always protected her, and now she was about to hand him over to the enemy.But she couldn't let her emotions get in the way. The safety of the moonshine pack was at stake. And besides, Kaden had made his bed, he had chosen to betray himself by siding with the rogue King.Jessica squared her shoulders and approached the gates of the rogue kingdom.
