AlexThe special interrogation technique of the Dark Fur Pck is Mind Reading. I had used it earlier to draw out information from Lucian enemies a few weeks ago, and it would really work well in this situation. The only downside of using it was the immense mental strain it had on the exhibitor. Not only does it consume a lot of mental strength, but it also takes a toll on them if not used properly or if executed too long. I’ve seen a lot of colleagues of mine go crazy because they performed it wrong, so all precautions had to be taken.The problem now is my current mental state. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind at the moment. It feels like both my brain and mind has been shattered into bits, seeing that I haven’t been able to tell what was going on with Martha. My senses were tingling and had been going haywire all day. I don’t know why, but it wasn’t a good sign, I could tell.But I couldn’t dwell on that right now. That wasn’t the plan. Slowly, I began to corner Jasmine from whe
MarthaI was filled with embarrassment when Star played the video of me admitting that Alex was my mate, but I couldn't hate Alex or our connection. I hadn't done anything wrong with him, so why should I feel guilty? After all, he was my mate.“You disgusting woman! Are you so hungry for affection that you’d degrade yourself and accept anyone as your mate?” Lucian yelled at me before his Council officers but I refused to reply to him. “Alex can never be your mate. That little rat isn't worthy of you. How can my own Luna have such a nauseating standard?” He growled.Filled with frustration, I stood up, slowly walking toward him with intense resentment. When I reached him, I locked eyes with Lucian. “You are the nauseating standard in my life,” I spat at him. “Do you really think you can dictate who is worthy of me, Lucian? Your words reek of insecurity and control. Alex may not meet your standards, but he has shown me more love and loyalty than you ever have. Don't underestimate the po
Alex“No. I can’t, there’s no way I can leave without Martha,” I said with an air of finality, succumbing to my fate.Geri’s face screwed up into an irritated frown, and before I knew it, he slammed his fist into my gut, just right where my healing wound was.“Ahh,” I groaned, my eyes widened in shock and pain, as his punch sent my body reeling and quaking with agony. Blood slowly dribbled down my mouth, as well as my stomach, where the wound opened up once again.I could barely see Geri’s shocked expression from my blurry vision, but I managed to notice his confusion through it all. I took a few minutes to recover, thanks to my regenerative powers. But I knew I had some explaining to do. Geri must have sensed that something was off, given my reaction and the amount of bleeding. His punch shouldn't have caused that much damage.Thankfully, he didn’t choose to comment or ask what was going on. Instead, he dashed past me and went straight to my room, with quick, determined steps.I fol
MarthaAs Star entered with a tray of food, my heart felt lighter. Seeing her filled me with happiness and I was so glad she was there.I couldn't help but watch as she made her way toward my cell, her face betraying a mysterious and unreadable expression. It was quite perplexing, considering how animated and expressive she usually is.She stopped right in front of the cell. Just when I was about to say something to her, to tell her how glad I was to see her, she beat me to it.“You are such a failed Luna,” those were the first words that left her lips and it stunned me. Her stony expression and intense glare rendered me completely speechless. I was unable to utter a single word in response.“How could you keep the truth from me? No, how could you keep the truth from the whole pack? You were hiding something life-changing, keeping quiet like it was all a game!”“I hid it because I am Luna! Because I’m married and have responsibilities! What did you expect me to do in that situation?!”
AlexRight after Lucian left, the guards immediately made a barrier right in front of my cell, with wicked grins on their faces. I paid them no mind though, instead, I looked at Martha from my vantage point through the cell and managed to catch a glimpse of her.“Are you really a member of the Dark Fur Pack? You don’t look all that to me,” one of the guards commented, eyeing me up and down cockily.“Exactly, him being part of the faction is bullshit. People from the Dark Fur are beasts. He looks more like a cub to me,” another one said, and I spared him a quick glance before looking away. He was very scrawny and weak for a guard. It made me want to snort.“Nah, I can tell that he’s one of them, he has that outlandish look in his eyes. Besides, I don't think he will be crazy enough to impersonate a Dark Fur when one of them just died here, right?” Another guard quipped. “My main question is; how did a fucker like you get a mate?”The rest of them snickered as if what he said was remot
Martha“Since you know such a technique? Why haven’t you tried it on yourself and escaped?” I asked curiously.“Well, my powers aren’t sufficient enough for a job like that,” Morgan replied, with a hint of sadness in his voice.“What do you mean?” I inquired, feeling puzzled.“After Lucian killed her and imprisoned me here, my powers grew dormant over the years in this cold cell. Having abilities doesn’t mean that you harness them on your own. You can train and train until you’re weak and weary, but the major impact in how you build your abilities, all depends on your mate. The stronger your mate bond grows, the more powerful you become,”I blinked, trying to process his words. That made a lot of sense. I got my ability after I recognized Alex as my mate, so it would make a whole lot of sense that they were attached to him. It reminded me of Val as well. Her powers have also been passive after she lost her mate, which explains a lot now.“There is one condition attached though, if yo
“See you…whenever,” I waved at Geri with a smile.He rolled his eyes and gave me a three-finger salute, before driving off, back to the Red Moon Pack. I was worried about him, but I knew that I cannot force him to leave Star behind. “So, where's the location now?” Morgan asked in his deep, gruff voice.“River Bed. That’s the safest place to lay low for now. It's one of the Packs that majored in commercial rather than brood, so It’s the perfect place to hide for now before we think of another plan,” I explained.“Good call. Well, I can find you when I want. I wish you both the best of luck. Don’t get caught,” Morgan smiled.“Wait, what? You’re not coming with us?” Martha frowned, mirroring the same feelings I had. “Unfortunately, I can’t.”“Why not? Isn’t it dangerous to go back to where you came from? Why don’t you just follow us and hide until the heat dies down?” She insisted."That's so kind of you. I'm grateful that I could finally break free from that dreaded dungeon. And Marth
MarthaBy the time we finally made the decision to depart, the sun had already risen. Alex and I had indulged in waves of blissful ecstasy throughout the night, making it impossible for us to have embarked on our journey. Moreover, we needed a few hours of rest to catch our breath and regain our strength, which further influenced our decision to delay our departure."Hey, are you alright?" Alex leaned down and whispered. He was ready to shift, but I could hardly budge. "Do you think you can manage to walk?"I groaned and struggled to sit up, uncertain if my legs would obey my commands. "I don't know, they feel numb and unresponsive," I honestly replied.With his support, I managed to get on my feet and take a few steps, but I felt completely drained. It was as if he had drained all my energy. I didn't even have enough strength left to shift, which was a major issue since we needed to leave urgently.“I don’t think I have it in me to move,” I groaned aloud."Alright, we can't just stay
