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
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
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.
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
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...
