WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN VOLITION.CLOVERAfter Phoenix woke up, the whole pack was relaxed again. We even had a feast that very night. Everything felt so right once more. That night, when everybody had retired to their respective homes, Phoenix and I laid awake in bed, cuddling and talking about everything and anything, “ That’s not true, I wasn’t worried about your safety, I was worried about the rogues you might have come across” Phoenix said and I scoffed, “ Don’t overestimate me. I’m not that strong, you’re the only thing that kept me going” I joked.He grimaced, “ That was so fucking cheesy, I almost barfed” “ You love me cheesy” I replied, while wiggling my brows at him, and he laughed, “ The hell?! That was even worse”.I smiled at him, “ You really scared me though” I said, “ I was asleep” he said with an eye roll. I bit his chest, “ Well I think I’m now traumatized by you just going to sleep. You’re not allowed to close your eyes ever again” I j
PrologueI stood with my head down, glaring at the soil beneath my feet. " Clover Doharty, you are aware of what you did"" of course I know what I did, I killed for justice" I snapped at the man." No! you fought selfishly and broke the law!"" I wasn't selfish I did this for everyone!" I yelled, the wolves growled at me." Clover ca-"" Don't tell me to calm down!" I snapped at my brother who stood some feet away from me. I turned back to face the elder, " you all don't know what it feels like to watch the people you love die in front of you!"" You're not the only one who lost someone, brat!" A woman yelled." Shut-"" enough!" Another elder yelled. I kept quiet but my glare never faltered, " you have broken a law, you disobeyed your father's law, you went against the rules and killed now you have to face to punishment" he pauses." Clover Doharty, you are h
Crack...crack...crack...crack... The sound of the whip meeting my skin was the only sound that bounced against the walls of the cell. This was the fifth day of my capture. I groaned in pain as the whip met my back, my wolf whimpered not because of the whipping but because of the silver chains. She had grown weaker than the first day so it's made it hard for my wounds to heal.Landon signalled Dakota to stop just when I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn't move, my body was on fire and my head felt heavy. My blood rolled down my back and face to the floor. " You brought this on yourself...after all this you'll never cross another pack without permission...if you make it out alive" he said.The cell door opened and someone entered the cell. I couldn't look up from the floor, " still not saying anything?" I recognized the voice as the Beta's, " a stubborn one" Landon grumbled. There was silence after that, I wondered what they're t
I'm cold...I'm weak...and I'm in alot of pain. I'd been in the same position they left me, laying on the cold hard floor. I could feel my wolf slipping away slowly and it brought tears to my eyes.The promise I made still stood. I wasn't going to give up. I wasn't going to let them kill me. I was going to continue fighting no matter how hard it was for me. I was going to escape.The moon light shone through the tiny window above me and I could imagine the moon goddess laughing at me...it's all she'd ever done... sometimes I wondered why I didn't just die with my parents on that cursed day.A lone tear fell down the side of my face. I hated crying...but it's not something I could hold in forever. My mom used to tell me and my brother that... when people cry it doesn't mean they are weak, it only means that they had been strong for a very long time."I'm sorry...
***WARNING: ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND SELF HARM BELOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED********Time seemed to freeze alongside me beneath an unsettling pair of green eyes fixed intensely on me. Everything faded into nothingness as my eyes roamed fleetingly over a fine specimen of wolf, solidly corded muscles and chiseled roughness.The proximity and size of him robbed me of any air that dared to escape from my lungs. His jaw was so rigid and his chest broader than the average Alpha. He stood tall and towering before me.A dominance so undeniable, there was an air of authority that prompted me to flee far from this menacing, formidable man.I felt the heat of his muscled frame as it oozed off of him and wrapped around my senses. His green eyes stayed fastened on meas he examined me unnervingly.My wolf wouldn't stop clawing at me to claim him but I refrained from doing so and blocke
My eyes were shut and my body numb but I could tell that I was lying down on something hard, like a floor or table. My hands and legs were tied down as well. The smell of something strange filled my nostrils, it made me want to gag. I felt drowsy and decided to give in to the sleep but just then I caught his scent and heard his voice.I struggled to open my eyes but failed. It was as if my mind was awake but my body had shut down. My eyes opened after much struggling and the first thing I saw was a worn out looking sofa and a coffee table at the corner of the room. I looked up and saw a smoke pot hovering over my body. Not just that but a hand was connected to the mysterious pot. I traced it to a woman who looked like she could be between the age range of sixty to seventy.She smiled at me, " Ah Luna you're awake"" uh..who are you?" I tried to sit up but wasn't able to. My wrists and ankles were bound with ropes. I also n
The next day came so quickly like magic or something. One minute I was in dreamland and the next I was blinded by the harsh rays of the sun peeking through my curtains.I checked the time on the digital clock and to my surprise, "It's almost noon?" I asked myself. Dragging my ass out of bed, I stretched my limbs out making them pop, I sighed and smiled.Entering the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and bathed then I went to look for that dearest mate of mine.I could hear his heart beat and also the heartbeat of another, I frowned and went down to the kitchen.As I got closer, I could hear the laughter of a lady. My heart started beating fast.Are you scared?No..I opened the door and found him sitting with a woman that looked liked she could be his mother by the counter. They both turned to look
Clover"What the fudge is that?" I stared at the brown blob inside the pot. Apparently I'm not good at trying out new things.'I told you...'My wolf said.I groaned, "But I followed the instructions in the book" I opened the cookbook again and read through the recipe. " So...where's the food?" I jumped again in shock and turned around to tell him off. But then I came face to face with his clothed chest. The mixture of coconut body wash and his scent had my knees feeling like jelly.'How did I not notice him standing behind me?!''I did but failed to tell you cause I was enjoying the closeness...'I gasped...'you evil little thing'." Uhh..." I'm speechless! Why am I speechless?! I bet I looked like a fish due to the amount of opening and closing my mouth did. He looked into the pot over my shoulder and scoffed.

CLOVERAs soon as we got to the pack hospital, Phoenix was placed on a pre-prepared stretcher and taken to the ER. Danny sat quietly in the hallway while I paced back and forth, “ Sit down Clover. You’re making me nauseous” He mumbled.The sound of approaching footsteps made me stop. Aunt Renee and Doe crushed me in a warm hug, “I’m so glad you’re safe” Aunt Ree said, but then her eyes fell on my neck, “ Oh my-you’re bleeding! Doctor!-“ “ Forget it. She won’t go with them” Danny said from his seat and all eyes fell on him. “ Hello, you must be Clover’s brother. I’m Doe” Doe smiled and stretched her hand to him, which he shook to my surprise, “ Daniel” he said and smiled back. I raised my brow at him, “ Wow, look at you being all polite” I mocked, “ Well she’s pretty” he answered and winked at Doe. An arm circled Doe’s waist, “ And taken” Tobias said with a warning look. He had bandages running from over his left shoulder to his torso, but he was fine. Danny smiled in amusement, “ Ju
CLOVER Danny was right. Moping was not going to solve our problems. Those things had already happened, and there was nothing I could do about it. After crying for a while, I wiped my tears and said, “ You’re right. I’m sorry…I was just….”, Danny sighed,“ I get it. We just have to get out of here fast” he said. That being said, I looked around the cell and suddenly had a sense of de ja vu, “ These walls look like they’ve been standing for decades, maybe there’s a weak spot” I mumbled. I felt around the wall for something, anything. When I felt around the walls near Danny, some stones crumbled under my finger. Danny came to stand beside me and eyed the spot too. As I was about to tell him the next plan, someone knocked on our cell bar. We froze in place, “ Shit…” Danny cursed under his breath and we turned around, only to find that it was the weird guard from before. He was looking everywhere, as if to check of anyone was coming, before he opened the door and walked straight to me.
MILLICENT Something strange is happening up above us. Ever since this morning there had been a lot of howling. Sad, mournful howls. Like something bad had happened. When wolves howl like that, it usually signifies the death of a ruler.I’ve also been having this bad feeling in my gut. I haven’t been able to sit still, and I don’t know how to calm the others with me. I know Clover isn’t dead, because if she was, we would have felt it. I just feel like she’s in grave danger.“ When is Alpha Phoenix gonna get here?”, One of them asked, “ I don’t know”,I replied anxiously. This has been the question for the past two-three days? I’m not even sure how long we’ve been here. “ I don’t think that girl got to the pack” “ How do you know that?”“ If she had reached the pack, we wouldn’t be here by now!” “ Can you just wait? I’m sure Alpha Phoenix is on his way……right?”“ He has abandoned us! We’re doomed”“ How can you say that about your own Alpha?!”“ If we weren’t abandoned, then why have
WARNING: MENTIONS OF MURDER AND SUICIDE. PHOENIX“ What are we going to do?” Tobias asked after Landon relayed the information to him, “ Prepare the warriors, we’re going to snowfall pack…” I simply said. Tobias frowned, “ Warriors? Are you planning to start a war?” He asked. I leaned back in my chair, trying to keep my wolf calm, “ If need be” I replied. Landon nodded and went for the door, “…I think you’re being a bit too rash? I mean, we can just try to talk it out first before taking any actions, right?” He asked.LANDONAs soon as Tobias spat those words out, the air in the office grew cold. My whole body went completely still. A feeling I haven’t had in a while. My wolf shrank to the farthest part of my mind and I involuntarily bowed my head. “ I’m being rash?” Phoenix asked coldly, not even hiding the bloodlust seeping out of him. He got up and walked towards Tobias, “ You think I’m being rash…You’re acting like you don’t know what’ll happen to Clover if she spends another t
ALEXIAWhen I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the white ceiling of the pack hospital, and the smell of antiseptic. My throat felt dry, “ Water” I choked out. Someone immediately rushed to my side and a cup was pressed against my lips. I greedily gulped down the whole cup. “How are you feeling?” Someone asked on my left. I looked up and realized it was Alpha Phoenix, and the person who gave me water was Gamma Landon. I blinked several times, “ I-I’m fine. Alpha Phoenix…” I paused as my brain did a full reset, “Luna Clover…” “ Hey. You must be hungry. Eat first, then you can talk” he said and passed a bowl of food to me.It took me seconds before the bowl was empty. I drank some water and began talking, “ Luna followed her brother to another pack. I heard some guards saying that, that was were their mother is” “ Okay. What about the remaining pack members?” Alpha Phoenix asked. “ They’re fine, at least. We planned to escape together, but they got caught. Those rogues won’t hurt them,
ALEXIAI don’t know how long I’d been running. I think two nights passed before I got to the border of our pack. The joy that filled my soul was unexplainable. But my legs gave out from fatigue. My body ached from running non-stop. The guards at the border quickly ran to me. My vision blurred, “ Gamma! One of the pack warriors just arrived at the border”someone shouted. Someone grabbed my hand, “ Hey what happened? Where are the others?” His voice was desperate. I held his hand, “ Help…East…Luna…Trouble” I gasped out before it went completely dark.*******PHOENIX I was in my office doing some paperwork when my door flew open and one of the warriors barged in, “ What the hell?-“ “ One of the park members has returned, alpha!” He announced. From the tone of his voice, something was off. My heart began to race as I rushed to the pack hospital.Goddess, what happened to Clover? Please let her be okay. Please.On getting to the hospital, I rushed to the ward. Landon was already there,
We walked for almost eight hours before Danny told us to rest. We were a total of seven including my brother, elder Simon, four guards and myself.Danny and elder Simon went aside to talk about goddess knows what while the guards set up two tents. I knew I wasn’t going to have a tent, so I found a comfortable tree to rest up on. My mind wandered off as I stared up at the branches and trees swaying gently with wind. I wondered what Phoenix was doing at the moment. Was he busy tending to the pack matters? Of course he was, certainly. Did he miss me as well?….I suddenly felt restless. In my chest there was an uncomfortable feeling and I pat on it to ease myself. ‘ It’s because we’re far away from him…Don’t worry it’s just for a while’ My wolf said, trying to comfort me.Barely had time to answer before something landed on my lap. I winced and looked in the direction it was thrown from. The guards were sitting on a log not far from me, snickering and throwing mocking glances my way. I
Third person’s POVA man’s silhouette stood behind a tree. His features were not prominent because the moon light was blocked by the trees. Elder Simon treaded quietly towards the man, “ Sorry for the wait, that lad wouldn’t let me leave” He said and lowered his head to the man.The man in the shadows scoffed, “ Its because of your suspicious behavior that he now has his eyes on you. Anyway, why did you send for me?” He asked. Elder Simon looked around before saying, “ That murderer has returned. And they’ve found the whereabouts of their mother. He plans to leave tomorrow at dawn. Tell Alpha Charles our plan is falling into place” he told the other man who bowed and vanished immediately after.*******CLOVERIt was almost dawn when I was awoken by hushed mumbling and shuffling above me. They were having a furious debate between themselves. Before I could listen in on their conversation, they both became quiet. I slowly sat back on the ground and pretended to be asleep.There was a lo
