Alice - After meeting Rossi girls and convincing them to join the training, I returned with Katherine. Lucian and I needed to talk. If Gregory's brother had escaped, he could be a potential threat. "You seem upset," Katherine said while I drove back to the packhouse. "I am feeling bad about the humiliation and fear those girls went through. I haven't tried reaching out to the new pack members. Things were so busy in the last year that they slipped off my mind. I feel like a failure." I lamented. "Don't say that, Alice. You have been the perfect, Luna. There has always been, and will always be such packs. When the Alphas turn out to be crazy, the pack suffers. My parents belonged to such a pack. " "I thought you always lived here!" I exclaimed, turning to face Katherine. "I was born here, but my parents were from the now decimated Blue-star pack. Their Alpha was weird. They had many rules around ranking. Mating with humans was forbidden. If any higher-ranking female had a lower r
Lucian -It was early morning when Alice and I headed out to Azure beach, our chosen destination. It was the latter portion of March. I could sense her feeling a bit guilty about taking me away from the pack. I smiled."Don't worry, they can live without us for a few days, they are in good hands," I assured her, hearing her thoughts."That's good to know, have you been away from the pack before?" She asked while leaning back in her seat, arching her back a little. She looked a bit odd."Several times, I keep taking business trips. Daniel and my friend Garrett even went backpacking through Europe right after college. So, it's not like the pack has never been on its own before. Alice, what the fuck are you doing?" I asked as Alice moved her hands seductively on my jeans.My muscles bunched and jumped as she lovingly rubbed my thigh. Up and down she went, sometimes barely skimming over my pants, sometimes kneading the muscle underneath. I cast a sidelong glance at her. Her mischievous sm
Alice - By afternoon, we had made it to the spot he wanted us to be in. It was a typical shack on a beach, just at the edge of a forest. "What is this place?" I asked, staring at the crashing waves. "Do you like it?" He grinned at me. The wind blew against his hair, messing it up. He looked cute. I didn't see anyone else around. "Is this a private beach?" I asked. "Kind of. This is the former pack land on the Black Stone pack. I was going to sell it off as the pack has already shifted to our area, then I came across this! Now, I don't know what to do? It's beautiful," he said, enthralled. The beach was indeed beautiful. The sand was softly golden with just the right comforting warmth, like a cosy hug, one only matched by the sunshine-filled sky. Lucian stretched out both arms and legs to look like a boy-starfish, his grin growing slowly into a broad smile. The waves washed the sands in white lace. "It's too beautiful to be sold," I exclaimed. "Yes, but I don't know what to do
Alice -Our time ended much too quickly. I loved every minute of it. We hunted, explored, and fucked to our heart's content. I was sad when it was time to leave.I realized that this was the most amount of time Lucian and I had ever spent together, alone. We blended so well it surprised me. We didn't have anything like a honeymoon or even much of a real date. Our relationship just materialized into existence out of thin air, but it did feel solid.As we drove back towards home. I contemplated our relationship and life. Lucian seemed lost in his thoughts. It was a comfortable silence between us.We reached the pack land in the late evening. I yawned and stretched my body, I badly needed some rest."Go in and get some rest? I have some work to catch up on." Lucian spoke while taking out our luggage."I am not tired. Let's meet the pack. Katherine and I need to talk." I pressed my lips in a grimace.Lucian chuckled."Come on! I am sure she gave you that drug in a good faith. Don't be hard
Olivia - The agonising screams woke me up. Panic and terror momentarily paralysed me as the memories of rape and brutal beatings overwhelmed me. I tried to move my arms, but a sharp pain shot through my body. One of my eyes was too swollen to shut, so I had to make do with one eye. Peering in the dark, I saw one of those monstrous shapes moving. I shivered in a cold cell and pulled myself into a sitting position on the damp earthen floor. I was locked in a nightmare, and there was no escape. Fear has been my constant companion in the last week. In the murky darkness of the prison, I craned my neck to hear the dull slap of flesh against flesh and the shrieks that echoed. They were doing it again. The smell of blood and death overlaid the dank smell of decay. The shrieks had now been reduced to a whimper. I wished to die; it was preferable to the monster I had turned into. I had become a monster, just like them. I was on my way home from my waitressing job when two men grabbed me an
Alice - I felt Lucian sink into the bed next to me. I was already in bed and turned to face him. "Hey," I said, placing my hand on his cheek. "Sorry, I was delayed." He replied, smiling. "It's ok, I heard about those bodies being found. Is it something to worry about?" He seemed to be contemplating something. "Nothing to worry about, they were unfortunate human victims. They will be handed over to the cops. Probably, murdered by someone crazy. They were dumped in our shipyard." "That's so terrible, poor humans." "Evil exists! You know it. Don't ponder on it." He said while tracing my face with his knuckles. Lucian scented my neck deeply and once he calmed down he leaned back to look deep into my eyes which were fluttering open and shut as I struggled to stay awake. His hand gently tucked stray strands of hair before moving down to caress my cheek as he whispered, "I love you." "You should, I'm fabulous," I whispered as I fell asleep with a smile on my face. ***************
Alice"Can you please explain what is going on ?" I asked Lucian, as soon as he arrived in the Jade moon. Packs are generally very protective of their territories, it's unusual for another Alpha to get inside the pack boundaries without prior notice and security clearance. There are enough ambitious Alphas ready to attack and conquer other packs. But, Lucian was always welcome at Jade moon and the Reds pack. They were family."Where is Rick?" He asked quickly."Infirmary I guess." He was suddenly calm and gently patted my cheeks. "It's nothing serious.""Wait! You are here because of the bodies, isn't it? ""Yes, but all this could be just a coincidence. You don't have to stress yourself, dear.""Hey, Lucian. When did you arrive?" We were interrupted by Linda, who arrived, chasing after the twins."Aunty!" Clara squealed and grabbed my leg, wrapping herself around it. She had become my number 1 fan ever since our ordeal. I was glad she was doing well. One of the rare true-born witches
Warning: The chapter contains violenceOlivia My captors were merciless beasts, and there was only one way to survive. Cooperate with them, search for an opportunity and make a run.I was doing exactly that! Besides using my body, sometimes they used me as a serving maid. I bid my time. Watched and carefully observed my captor's routines and activities. Last week, they were agitated for some reason. A bunch of them passed by my cell, talking quietly about a raid they were planning.We were barely fed, perhaps, deliberately. Probably to control us, or my captors were simply sadists, who enjoyed starving us to death. Despite little food, I noticed that my strength had increased, my eyesight had improved immensely as well. I could see clearly in a dark cell, and my hearing was so sensitive that I could hear all the conversation. Not that my captors ever tried to maintain secrecy. They were confident of the fact that we could never leave.Maybe it was because of the abominable experimenta
Six years later - Alice ********************** Emma and I were sitting outside in the garden watching our little ones tussle. We often visited each other. "How you keep up with the three of them, I'll never know. I'm having a hard enough time with Arya." She said. "It's difficult sometimes, but it's also fun," I said looking at my 6-year-old Aiden and 2 -year-old twins. Rose and Leo. It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered I was carrying twins, few years after we had Aiden. The kids looked up at us and yelped, they were cute little pups. Both Aiden and Rose had inherited Lucian's green eyes and dark hair. Leo was more like me with his hazel eyes and brown hair. Arya had caught Aiden by the ear while Rose and Leo tussled in the mud. "Aiden, sweetie, Mama's not going to come to your rescue every time the girls pick on you." I laughed. "I can't believe he lets her get away with that. He outweighs her by quite a bit." Emma said. "He is a little gentleman, he just plays along"
AliceAs I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself. The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room."I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile."Maybe later," I winked at him."Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed."I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max."You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league."
AliceI knew about Doppler monitors, which are used to hear the fetal heartbeat. The idea both thrilled and terrified me."Just lie back," Dr Armand said, lifting my gown to reveal my bare belly. He squirted some liquid on my skin. "Just a bit of gel. It'll help pick up the sound."A crackling sound like an old transistor radio broke out in the room. Lucian looked at me, bewildered."We'll hear the baby's heartbeat?" I asked.The doctor nodded, moving the instrument over my stomach."The heart forms and starts beating from a very early stage."More static came from the small speaker the doctor held in his hand. A rapid, watery sound rang out, like waves at the beach on fast-forward.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.A smile spread across Dr Armand's face. "There's your baby."I held my breath. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Lucian's face was like a mask. I had never seen him so shocked and happy, both at the same time. The miracle of the moment began to sink in. We had created a life. The baby we had creat
Alice *************'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen carefully. When I say run, just run !' Lucian spoke in my mind.'But Max...''We'll save him too, don't worry. They don't know we are here as the wind is in another direction, but they will soon know. So just do as I say, babe, please.''I will dear.' I replied.Jordan gave me a suspicious look, I ignored him and kept my head down. I wasn't certain if I could shift, pregnant wolves can't. But my wolf assured me that she could take over anytime.'Run' Lucian said in my mind. My wolf took over. Breaking the restraints, I ran into the forest. The sound of gunshots rang through the forest. I looked up to see Lucian's choppers hovering over the trees. They were shooting at Stuart and his men. I stopped running, Max could get caught in the crossfire. I returned towards the group I had just escaped.**********************Lucian -I felt Alice's pain run through me, the rest of the pack felt the same. I immediately turned and started
Olivia -I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had."Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body."I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there."Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVs in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid."I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door."Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly."I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."Before the guard could react. The door burst open."You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A
I tried to keep my eyes open, as Stuart droned on and on about his scientific advancements. I had lost track of what he had been rambling long back, but just nodded and smiled at certain intervals to look interested.'Come on, Lucian,' I said into the void."So, these human women failed to get pregnant, it's not because my experiment failed. They were just weak. Weak and useless. Even my army of men was not the breakthrough I had been hoping for. So, I started seeking alternatives. The best approach was to go natural. Create my hybrid children. " He crossed his legs and folded his hands, placing his chin on his knuckles."So, that's why you attacked the mated Alpha females?""Yeah, lost quite a few of my men. I don't care about them, though. They were lab rats.....totally disposable." He shrugged."And I am your next big experiment?" I was feeling squeamish."You are special, Alice." I winced, my name rolling off his tongue made me sick."I am sorry, I need to use the bathroom." I su
Lucian 'This is crazy! I should have never listened to her.' I chided myself, but it was of no use. She was gone. "Alpha, we lost the chopper," Damon said somberly. I could feel my nails digging into my palms, I was gripping my hands so tightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Do whatever you can. Follow all the clues and find her." I managed to mutter. "Alpha, we have a request." I raised my head to find Kyle and the guards bowing their heads in submission. My wolf growled. He wanted to rip their heads off, for failing to protect my mate. "What is it?" I asked impatiently. "We....we....don't deserve to live. Please forfeit our lives." Kyle fumbled.I wanted to do that, but these were some of the best betas and warriors. Killing them now would achieve nothing."I don't have time for dramatics. Get out!""Alpha..." They whimpered."GET OUT! " I yelled, that sent them running out of my office.My wolf went into a rage and destroyed the table in seconds. I then went
Olivia I was heading for the trees before I realized what was happening. 'No, turn back,' I thought to myself, and then realized I wasn't in charge. The wolf was in charge.My wolf was showing herself. I could feel her stretching out as I ran. Trees sped by me in a blur, and I sucked in a lung-full of fresh air. I felt powerful.The rational human part of me still panicked and tried to get through to the wolf. I ran for miles, trying to check out my territory.I looked down at my feet, and they were still human, with a small spattering of white wolf fur. I had claws on my hands, but they still looked mostly human. It struck me that I was partially shifted into the hybrid wolf woman. And it felt great. I couldn't wait to turn fully.'Olivia,' Zaiden's voice boomed in my head. My mate was close on my heels, and suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an intense desire. He was supposed to claim me. Why was he late?Without further delay, my face started to change, and a snout started to grow. It
Alice -"How long is she going to be out?" Zaiden asked anxiously.We had all settled down to eat when he had appeared carrying Olivia. She seemed to be sleeping blissfully, a contented smile adorned her face."She is changing. She will wake up in a few days. How long did rain sleep when you had turned her ?" I asked Damon."A week," he sighed. "Though later I came to know she had woken up hours ago, but she was just enjoying the attention, hence pretended to be asleep."I stifled a laugh while Rain gave him a look."What was I supposed to do, you bit me so hard !" She retorted.I shook my head at their banter."She will wake up in about 24 hours. Might be quicker, as she is genetically tampered already." Lucian said while checking on Olivia."Too bad she'll miss the celebrations," Rain said sympathetically."Is she ok? Did I bite too hard? She will wake up, right?" Zaiden asked anxiously."Don't worry, you did well. You can return to the packhouse if you wish. Keep her comfortable. I
