AlexAfter revealing to Martha that it's been five years since I left Dark Fur, she didn't ask any more questions, and quickly slept off. I enveloped her body around me in a protective embrace. As I listened to her gentle snores, I watched the rise and fall of her sleeping form. She looked absolutely radiant, so incredibly beautiful.Suddenly, a wave of anguish washed over me, causing my chest to constrict and my grip on her to tighten. The weight of these hidden truths, this ever-growing collection of lies, was becoming unbearable. It was becoming too much for me to bear alone.I was holding Martha right now, but I was afraid that she would leave me eventually when she found out about my secrets. All that she said about mates tonight and the mate bonds, was that really valid in this scenario? How was I so sure that she’d still stay with me, even after learning the truth?That was the problem, I didn’t know. I had planned earlier to tell her the truth once and for all, to rip off the
Martha“Goddess, I’m so bored…” I groaned aloud, looking up at the blank ceiling drowsily.It’s been an hour since Alex had left for Kai’s house, and I’ve been bored out of my mind ever since. The lack of things to entertain me was quite tiresome and it made me restless.“What do I do…” I muttered to myself, turning face down on the bed. He said he’d be back before lunchtime, but this is just the early hours of the morning. Can I possibly wait for him to come back?I turned to look at the bags of clothes that sat neatly on the ground, next to the closet. Perhaps…“Alex wouldn’t mind, right? I mean, there’s no harm in it, right? I bet he’ll understand,” I said, my voice filled with determination as I stood up and grabbed the bags. I was planning on going out, to tour the River Bed city. It sounds like a really stupid and dangerous plan, but I couldn’t pass this opportunity. I have the right disguise and if I put on some simple clothing, I would look more conspicuous, so it really wasn
Alex“Alex, my man!” I was greeted by Kai as soon as I entered. His house was as luxurious as I had imagined.“Kai, it’s good to see you again,” I greeted back, shaking his hand firmly.“I’m not going to waste your time. We’re going straight into business. You said you wanted to discuss some conditions, right?” “Yes, actually. It’s not something I can easily discuss,” I smiled awkwardly. “And here isn’t really the best place to tell you,”He nodded in understanding, swiftly leading me deeper into his house. “Of course. Let’s go into my study, we can talk there,”“Thanks. By the way, where’s your mate? I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet,” I commented honestly, looking around at the various art and pieces in his house.He chuckled lightly. “She’s out, but I’m sure that you’ll see her soon,”He finally took me to a room with a thick mahogany door and I wasn’t shocked by the spacious room and the fancy decor. He was loaded.“My study is soundproof,” he assured me, sitting behin
Martha“Where could Alex possibly be?” I mutter to myself, wrapping my arms around my chest. I was currently in front of the hotel, in my pajamas with a shawl wrapped around my shoulders. I’ve been waiting for Alex for nearly two hours now, but he hasn’t showed up yet.I was really worried, and I knew it was risky being out here in the open like this, but I couldn’t stop being uneasy. The fact that I wasn’t able to communicate with him was the most frustrating.Though, after a few minutes, I saw him approaching from a distance and by the looks of it, he looked unhurt, much to my relief.“Martha? What are you doing out here?! Don’t you know it’s dangerous?! And you’re freezing!” He protested, rushing to my side as soon as he saw me.“Well, I could say the same about you! Do you know how worried I was?! You said that you were coming by lunch time, yet you didn’t make it! This is past twelve on the next day!” I nearly yelled. His look softened. “I’m sorry, okay?”“Sorry doesn’t cut it,
AlexI cracked my knuckles, feeling a little bit anxious about the whole thing. I was relieved that Kai is helping me, obviously, but I couldn’t help but be worried still.Maybe it’s my paranoia talking, or maybe because it’s been a while since I’ve trusted anyone other than Martha and Geri.“Alex, it’s good to see you again,” Kai greeted politely as I entered his house. “This is my son, Hunter,”He said, referring to the blue eyed blonde boy in front of him. He looked so much like Kai, but his hair color and some different features didn’t belong to him, which made me believe that it was shared with his mate.“Hey. Good to see you too. Hello, Hunter,” I greeted politely. As I’d imagined, the boy was little, around the age of seven or so. It would have been very grave if I had agreed to teach him the mind-reading technique.“Um…nice to meet you, sir,” Hunter replied quietly. He really didn’t look like the shy type, probably likes to keep to himself. “Let’s go to the training room. The
MarthaTears blurred my vision as I threw my clothes and little belongings blindly into my bag. These past hours have been like a nightmare to me. Everything I thought I believed in, came crashing down like a pack of cards.I still couldn’t believe that Alex was capable of all the claims that had been put on him, but it made perfect sense if I thought about it deeply. And that was what hurt me the most.He lied to me, kept such a huge secret from me, one that was so bad, I couldn’t ignore it. Everything he has said to me was based on a huge lie. A Wanderer? A Traveler? I can't believe I was that gullible.Well, it’s all over now. I’m going back home, consequences be damned. It might have been quite a rash decision to make, but what’s done has been done and it beats staying here.I hauled my little luggage out of the room. I made sure to leave the door unlocked in case he came in and I left the burner phone since I wouldn’t need it anyway. “May I help you, ma’am?” The receptionist ask
AlexI blinked, trying to bring my vision into focus. Everywhere was so blurry, and I felt so weak, I could barely use any of my limbs.It was a struggle. The more I tried to open my eyes, the more it was hard for me to keep staying conscious. But I forced myself to push through with it, and I opened my eyes, slowly, but surely, nearly blinded by the bright white light that unraveled, right in front of my eyes, nearly blinding me.I winced at the pain in my eyes, but once the pixels cleared, I could properly see that I was staring at a white ceiling.Looking around, the room was white in general, but what caught my eye was the IV stand right beside me, connected to my arm. And that’s when the memories came flooding back to me.“He’s up! Alex is up!” I could hear someone shout and when I turned to look, I saw that it was Martha. She looked so worried, yet so relieved, it made my heart swell.“Quick, call the doctor! Don’t just stand there!” I heard a woman scold. It was a pretty blond
Martha“Take it easy, don’t strain yourself,” I whispered, gently leading him into the house, even though he insisted that he doesn’t need help.Alex chuckled, kissing my forehead lightly. “I’m okay, Martha. I’ve told you for the millionth time already. I think I can survive walking into the house on my own,” he teased.I pursed my lips, mind filled with doubt, but I left him alone as he said, allowing him to walk without using me as support.The “house” in general, was Kai’s house, where he graciously invited us to stay, at least until Alex gets better. He insisted that we stay, because there was no certainty that Lucian might still be monitoring us, plus he wanted Alex to be taken good care of.“You’re welcome to our lovely home,” Lindsay greeted, with her ever-present smile dancing on her lips. “Please, feel free to explore and have whatever you like. If you need anything, just ask me or Kai,”“Thank you, Lindsay. It really means a lot, for you guys to offer your place to stay,” I
MarthaIt was like I was witnessing the most gruesome war I have ever seen in all my life. Even when we werewolves go out to hunt, even when we attack hunters who threaten our territory, it was never like this.The battlefield was bloody, smoke mixed with ashes with the putrid smell of blood filled the air and also my nose.Everywhere I looked, there was an unpleasant sight to see. I found comrades and enemies alike getting cut down and massacred with no mercy.It made my chest twist a little, but this fight was necessary. It was needed, if we wanted to get free from the clutches of both Alpha Fenrir and Lucian finally.“Don’t show the enemy any mercy! Fight and push your way through! For Nether Moon!” Alex shouted somewhere on the field and I had to look away as he plunged his hand through an unlucky man, ripping his heart out.“For Nether Moon!” They cried out in response and it seemed like that little boost was what they needed to build their confidence once more.I would say, I w
AlexAfter Star and Martha reconciled, we spent a day at Red Moon before coming back here, to Nether Moon.It was a very emotional moment for mother and daughter, as well as the people of Red Moon, but we couldn’t have stayed back there, without tackling the remaining issues still on ground.I put Geri in charge of supervision and he took the leadership role in place of Lucian since he was the perfect candidate to do so.Not only did he work under Lucian diligently, but he is very learned and informed about how Red Moon worked, more than I ever would, which was an added benefit.It also helped that he was well liked in the Pack, so I knew I made the right choice. Even Martha agreed with me on it.Right now, Martha and I were in the huge office of our Nether Moon mansion, going through the files and documents that Morgan had compiled earlier.“It’s not enough. All this evidence is not enough, Alpha Fenrir will still find a way to break through the case,” I groaned, tossing the papers i
MarthaAs Alex delivered the truth, there was pure and utter silence, one could even hear a pin drop. They all looked baffled and shocked by their Alpha’s evil deeds and even Star was in disbelief.“D-dad? Please say something. Tell them all their accusations aren’t true, please,” I heard her whisper and my heart completely shattered.The fact that she still had faith in Lucian, despite all the crumbs of disgusting things she herself has witnessed, but clinging on to the remaining hope she had left, was very…sad.Lucian gritted his teeth and stared down at the ground, but he didn’t say anything, confirming everyone else’s suspicions, if they had any.“There you have it,” Alex clapped drily. “This man has served you all for over eighteen years, doing all of these wicked deeds, for his selfish reasons!”This riled up the crowd as they began to yell and cry out expletives at Lucian, cursing him over and over again.“Kill him!”“We don’t need someone like him anymore!”“Off with his head!
AlexI found Lucian in his study, sifting through files with a frown on his face, oblivious to the attacks outside the house, like I had expected him to.“I knew you would be here,” I sneered at him, slowly walking into the study, revealing myself. He looked so startled to see me, it was laughable. I could see a bunch of emotions flicker through his face, but he settled on the one that was most familiar. Hate.“You,” he glowered. “What are you doing here? How did you bypass my security?”I snorted, opening the door to show the piles of men laying down on the cemented floor, unconscious. “These men?”He gritted his teeth, but he didn’t say anything.“Now, I’m sure that you know why I’m here. Surrender your Pack now, or otherwise, I will take it from you the hard way,” I simply told him, paving up and down the office.“And if I don’t?”I grinned. Oh, it would be so much fun to smash his face in without any more distractions.There was silence for a while, before a roar brought my atten
MarthaThe cool morning breeze attacked my skin like pins. I wanted nothing more than to go back home and curl into the king-sized bed, but this was it. Finally, the time for retaliation has come.Alex noticed my silence and intertwined his fingers with mine, squeezing my hand tightly. I managed a weak smile and stared down at the town in front of me.It was strange. The one place I thought to be my home, was the one keeping me restrained, was the one place where I couldn’t be who I wanted to be because I was afraid of the public view of me.Now that I’ve experienced a taste of freedom, a taste of peace and happiness, I’m ready to close that chapter of my life. Even if it means storming down and declaring war right at this moment.So, standing by the border of Red Moon Pack, with an army of over four hundred, I felt confident and more sure of myself than I’ve ever been in a while. I squeezed Alex’s hand back and stared deeply in his eyes.“I’m ready,” I simply told him and those two w
AlexAfter the news Kai came to drop, I made sure the training, as well as the defenses were high. There was barely any time for me or my men to rest, but it was needed. Lucian and Fenrir were threatening us, holding both Geri and Star hostage and using that to gain an advantage over us. I wasn’t going to take that lightly.“Argh! Gyah!” Grunts were heard from all angles on the training field. Instead of creating dummies to use as target practice, I made them all face each other, to improve their skills and abilities.It was quite stressful and frustrating at times since I had over four hundred men to supervise and train at the same time, but I managed in the best way I could.It also helped to have Savage and Kai helping as well, otherwise, I would have snapped and fucked them this up on several occasions.The training took a huge toll on both my body and mind. I was barely at home and the times when I was, I was worn out of my mind to give Martha my time.We found a way to make it
MarthaA couple of days passed after the conversation I had with Alex. We came to the decision that after the whole thing settles down, we’ll be able to buy the bookshop and turn it into a public library.But for now, we wait. And waiting was draining the soul out of me.Being pregnant again, to the love of my life, was one of the greatest things to happen to me. Just knowing that I was carrying my mate’s child, brings tears to my eyes every time. I'd only been able to dream of this all my life, but now I’m living in my fantasy world. Still, I couldn’t help but be mildly irritated by the way people around me treated me, especially Alex. Everyone was tiptoeing around me, treating me as if I were delicate and could shatter easily.I get it, their intentions were kind, but sometimes it felt overwhelming. I was just pregnant, not fragile.“Have you thought about buying the baby clothes yet? Your pup will pop out sooner than you expect,” I laid back in bed as Sara sat in front of me on th
AlexI looked up at the slowly rising sun, enjoying the cool breeze fanning against my skin like a gentle caress. I looked at my army of women and men alike, who were all standing at attention, waiting for what I would do.“To your positions!” I yelled out, splitting the silence.Without any hesitation, they all walked forward, standing in front of the positioned targets right in front of them that they would need for practice.“These are your enemies! I want to see how you’ll attack when you see them! Use all your might and force! As soon as you bring your target down to the ground, proceed to the next obstacle,” I explained.Grunts and cries filled the air as they attacked the dummy target in front of them with all their might. As easy as it sounded, I made sure that it was nearly impossible for them to take it down.I had discussed with a few of the most skilled craftsmen to create the dummies, so that I’ll be able to test their endurance.All these rogues, or should I call them sol
MarthaMatthew came back to the dining room alone, looking around. “Where’s Alpha Alex?” He asked.I shrugged and looked around as well. He left the room without telling me where he was going, so I didn’t know where he could possibly be in this big house.“I don’t know, he didn’t say,” I told him. “But I’m sure that he’ll be back soon,” “Okay. Can you tell him to come and meet me when he’s back. I’ll be in my study. It’s in the hallway to the right, on the third door,” He informed me, walking briskly.I nodded. After a while, I went to the living room and found Sara sitting on one of the couches dejectedly. I wondered why. I barely saw her at the coronation, so why was she in this mood?“Hey,” I greeted, sitting beside her on the cream colored couch.“Hey,” she responded without feeling. “What’s wrong? I didn’t even see you during the coronation and at the party. Did something happen?” I asked worriedly. It was odd seeing her this quiet.“More like, what didn’t happen,” she muttere
