2022-09-09 17:28:46Lana’s POV
I had heard him. He knew we were there. That same voice from before. It had made my body vibrate as he screamed into my head. We may have taken it too far this time. I think we have pissed off the wrong wolf.
How did he know it was me and why did he choose that moment to shout at me?
“Here!” Abby hands a glass of wine to me. The twins had been young, probably the youngest I had ever killed. I still hadn’t told her about the voice. I needed more information before I told her.
“Why don’t you stay here tonight? There are no wolves and we can plan the next step. Plus you seem a little bothered.” She tilts her head as she watches me.
“They were so young.” I mutter
“It’s another step closer to the Alpha!”
“It doesn’t bother you that they were practically children?”
She takes a huge swig of wine and doesn’t answer my question. So I decide not to push it. Abby was older than me and she quite often knew better.
“Can I at least shower?” I ask
“You know where it is.” She knocks back another glass of wine, topping it up before I even leave the room.
I place my glass down without even taking a sip and head towards the bathroom. Abby still kept some of my clothes here for occasions like this. Stripping off, I stare into the mirror. The mark on my neck had been playing up recently. Irritating in a way that I couldn’t explain.
Stepping into the hot water, I watch as the remnants of blood disappear down the plug hole.
The cries were always something that touched a nerve. They pleaded for their lives in a way that pulled on my heart but as Abby took their heads off, it had been different. Pain had spread from my mark towards my heart and I had felt something that I had never felt before. Guilt.
Turning the water off, I’m sure I hear Abby calling me and stick my head out the bathroom door.
“Did you call me?”
There was no answer. Grabbing a towel, I pull it tightly around me as I move into the living room. Abby was passed out on the sofa, her glass shattered on the floor, the red wine in a small puddle.
I roll my eyes, this was something that was happening more and more. Clearing up the mess, I pull a blanket over her, but as I stand I see something in the window.
It was late, she had said there was no one around here. Abby’s house was at least a mile away from her neighbour, but I could have sworn that purple eyes were staring back at me.
Sliding the window open, I was ready to stop whoever it was, but there was no one and again there is a twinge in my mark.
“You will pay for this!” His voice is low, a growl rumbles through his words as I wince. I hated how he could get in my head so easily. Was that an Alpha thing?
“You don’t understand!” I half mumble, not knowing if he would even hear me.
“That you are a murderer! Wait until I find you Lana. You will feel as much pain as my sisters!”
“No!” I shout back, but I am met with silence. He was so angry and I was shit scared.
My own reflection stares back at me, the purple eyes gone. He blamed me, it made sense, I was there but I didn’t do the killing, that was all on my sister.
I hardly slept. My body tossed and turned all night. His voice was on repeat in my head. He knew exactly who I was but we still didn’t know him. I had no idea what he looked like, or even if those purple eyes were true. Purple was not a normal colour for anyone!
“Hey, you getting up?”
For someone who drinks as much as Abby does, I was always surprised when she didn’t have a hangover.
Reluctantly pulling myself from the bed. I make my way to the kitchen. I had to tell her. She was my best friend, she had to know the truth.
“Abby, I heard him!”
She spins around to look at me, almost spilling her coffee.
“Him! As in your mate? I didn’t think it worked like that?”
“I don’t know how it works!” I snap at her. I didn’t mean to, I was stressed. We were supposed to be hunting the Alpha, not the other way around.
“What did he say?”
“He’s coming to find me!” I try to hide my face behind the mug. She could read me like a book.
“What else?”
“It’s not the first time I have heard him!”
“When?” she stares at me, her face almost emotionless.
“When you killed Dad!”
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me Lana?”
“I thought it was in my head. Abby I almost died, brains do weird shit when you are close to death.”
“But your mate. That means…”
“I know. He is a wolf too!” There was no way I was mentioning the twins or the likelihood that my mate was an Alpha.
Abby dropped me home. We had hardly spoken since my announcement. It was a lot for both of us to wrap our heads around.
As we pulled up in front of my building, I ask her if she has a plan for tonight but she just shakes her head at me.
“I will ring you if anything changes!”
Making my way inside, I groan, their scent was everywhere. Hurrying up to my apartment, I throw myself in through the door and slam it shut. Dropping to the floor, tears run down my face. I had been trying to hold it together in front of Abby, but now I was alone, all the emotions come at once.
It takes me a few minutes to pull myself together, suddenly realising something wasn’t right. The door to my closet was open and I could hear the television. Both things that I knew I would have turned off and closed.
Had I been burgled?
I couldn’t scent a wolf, and creep forward, pulling my blade from my bag. I’m not a killer, but I will defend myself!
“I have been looking for you!”

Logan’s POVDealing with the death of my sisters was the hardest thing that I had ever done. I had known about this hunter for some time and instead of standing up and taking charge. I listened to my parents. Believing that my father was right.Watching my parents mourn over their bodies was heartbreaking and yet I was so full of rage. I had warned Lana and when I find her, she will regret the day she tried to fuck my kind over. I didn’t care that she was my mate.

Lana’s POV “Mr Norman, what are you doing here?” I quickly slip the blade up my sleeve as I stared at him in surprise. Why had he broken into my home? What reason did he have to be here? “Please, call me Seth,” he stands with a smile and hands me a glass, it was full with a brown liquid. Whisky. I’m not stupid, I wasn’t going to touch a single drop. Placing the glass down, I see him suck in his cheeks, he had put something in it! “That still doesn’t tell me why you are in my home!” His hazel eyes run over me as I stand my ground. “Please sit. I wanted to make sure you were okay. You seemed a little out of sorts.” “I’m not the one who is out of sorts. I haven’t broken into someone’s home!” I feel like I have every right to be defensive. This was my home and I had not invited him in. “You’ve been crying, anything I can help you with?” He takes a long swig of the whisky in his glass. Ignoring his comment, I ask him again. “Why are you in my home?” my fingers sat tightly around the

Logan’s POV“Where are you?” I groan into the phone. Seth had called to say things hadn’t gone as planned. That Lana had become aggressive and attacked him.“The hospital down the street from the hotel.” “I’m on my way,” hanging up, I quickly put the green contact lenses in. What the hell had she done? I didn’t think she would attack a human. It was why I had sent him.Lana’s voice had scratched at my head earlier, but I wasn’t letting her in. Contact would be on my terms not hers!Calling Aunty Kendra, I ask her to come and watch mom. Mom hadn’t been the same since the twins' death. She didn’t speak, she barely ate, everyone was worried.As soon as Aunty Kendra arrives, I leave, not telling her where I was going, just that I would be back soon. She didn't need to know that her daughter was involved.Arriving at the hospital, I could already hear Seth causing a scene. Shouting at the nurses that were trying to help him. Following the shouts, I find him thrashing about on his bed. Blo

Lana’s POVEverything hurt. I hadn’t even opened my eyes, when I feel the throbbing of my bones pulling me out of my slumber.It takes a moment to get my bearings when Abby clears her throat.“I think you need to start talking.” Her foot is tapping impatiently next to the bed. I realise that I’m in the spare room of her house.“How did you get me here?”“It doesn’t matter. Lana, you need to start talking. I thought we were sisters. You have become so secretive recently. It wasn’t your blood on the floor, so who did it belong to?”She moves around my bed, pulling back the drapes and letting in the light, making me squint as I try to block the pain. Why were my eyes hurting?“Come on Lana, spill! I know you used the blade on someone.”“It was that guy from the hotel. You know, the ginger nut that I had to meet instead,” I push myself up, rubbing my temples. The last I had seen of him was when he ran out of my apartment, clutching at his side.“What was he doing in your place? Did you in

Logan’s POVTwo days, that's how long it took for Lana to finally hear me. Though I was a little impressed when she tried to defy an order. The only other person that has done that is Seth. The way she told me to piss off, put a smile on my face. It shouldn’t have done, not after what she did.Quickly pulling on a suit and styling my dark hair, I slip the green contacts in. Today was the day I would be finally meeting her. Today was the day that I would be putting her in her place for what she had done.Auntie Kendra catches me as I leave my room, her brow dipped into a v, worry written all over her face.“You have to go in?” she asks quietly. I nod my head, but something was off.“What is it?”“Your mom isn’t doing too well.”She takes me down the hallway to my parents bedroom. Father was pacing outside, his hands running through his greying hair. He stops to look at me, pain etched on his face.“You need to prepare yourself.”I knew what he was talking about. He had told me about i

Lana’s POVI buckled.I clearly wasn’t very good at keeping secrets, not from Abby. She saw through everything, eventually.I broke down, telling her everything. I couldn't contain it anymore. I had to let her know how Logan had threatened me, how he was going to come after me. But most importantly, I tell her that I am certain Logan sent the human after me.That last bit is what tipped her over the edge.She looked at me, in that way only worried mothers did. I guess she had taken on a more motherly role than I realised.“He wants me to meet him.” I groan, throwing myself down on the sofa.“Absolutely not. Not a chance!” she was walking around the lounge, her hands firmly on her hips, a scowl on her forehead.“I don’t think I can refuse,” I mutter quietly, feeling completely ashamed for hiding this secret.“You don’t belong to a pack, no Alpha can make you do anything.”“I heard the change Abby, like his voice was winding into my mind.” I shudder at the thought. It was far to easy fo

Logan’s POVI had no idea who this red headed bimbo was, but she certainly seemed to know me. Though her scent was off putting. She wasn’t a wolf, she wasn’t human.“Who are you?” I demand. I didn’t have time for this bitch, where was Lana? Where was my mate?She rises from the chair, standing nearly as tall as me. I couldn’t help but run my eyes over her. I may not know who she is but I do know a good looking woman when I see one.“Now, now Mr Lonecrown. You don’t need to know the smaller details. Stay away from Lana.”Her confidence was on par with my own. She knew full well what I was and yet she wasn’t afraid. Maybe it was because she didn’t know who I was.Leaning in close, I feel her body stiffen. Maybe she wasn’t that confident after all.“No one tells me what to do.”She looks at me from the corner of her eye, pressing her plump red lips into a thin line. She was doing everything to keep herself under control. “Now where is Lana?” A bead of sweat forms on the side of her fac

Lana’s POVSomething explodes in my chest the moment I look into his eyes. A fire erupts inside me, sending electric shocks through my body. His scent was different. He didn’t smell bad like other wolves, in fact it was quite the opposite. It was intoxicating, warm, rich and minty like the mint hot chocolate that Abby makes. He shifts from his black wolf, standing tall in front of me. Every part of him was defined, muscle after muscle. He even had those v lines by his hips. It was taking every bit of my self control to not look down.His hand clamped around my neck before I had time to say or do anything. Shoving me up against the wall by his dead mother.“Why?” he snarls at meTrying to pull at his fingers, they just squeeze more. So this was it, this was how I was going to die.Trying to push him off was useless. I had never had this problem, always managing to escape. But Abby and I fucked up. And then I fucked up Royaly by killing his mom.He stares at me with those bright purple

Hunting the Alpha Epilogue.
One year laterLana’s POVI never heard from Blake after that day. It was impossible for him to link me after I broke the bond between us. But it didn’t stop his wolves trying to locate me.For the first six months, it even made the news. That there was a new Alpha of Alpha’s. They gave my name and description, promising a reward if I was returned to them. But as time went on, my appearance on the news became less and less. The humans were losing interest. I was never spotted. I had had my hair permanently relaxed so I didn’t have to deal with the curls. I wore shades when it was sunny or brown contacts when the weather was rubbish. If I went out, I never went out alone. I was always with Dillon. A human.It had taken a couple of months before we officially became a couple. Though that didn’t stop us fooling around before then. Not once did I feel pressured with him. Not once did I feel like he was hiding something. He never hesitated to answer a question. He was different, he wasn’t
Hunting the Alpha Ninety Seven.
Lana’s POV“I already know that.”“No you don’t. Not entirely.”Switching off the car engine. I turn to look at him properly. “What do you mean?”“Blake controls what he wants to control.”“I don’t follow.”“You really are naive, Lana. They told me that you were hard to convince. That you didn’t understand pack life. But you really can’t see what is right in front of you.” He pulls open the jeeps door, grabbing my hand, he places it on his chest. Just like Blake, he had no heartbeat.“How?” I mutter“We are all the same. Anyone that is under Blakes leadership ends up like us.”“Why would you follow him?” “Because it’s always too late. By the time we realise, there is no turning back.”“I don’t get it?”“Holy shit, Lana.” He shakes his head at me. “Are you just not willing to see it, is that it?”“See what? Blake said he made a deal.”“And you didn’t think to question it. He is the reason you killed Logan. He is the reason you chose him. He is the reason for everything.”“Why?”“Becau

Lana’s POVLogan leans into me, gasping for breath. The Blade slips further into his heart. I couldn’t believe that I had done it. That I was the one to kill him. That I was the one to finally stop him.Xavier had told Blake that I was in the back of the car. Blake had talked me through the plan. He made it clear that I could not speak back to him. That if I were, it would give me away. That Logan would know.He told me that they were tracking me, that I would have to take a chance and throw myself from the car. I did exactly what I was told. The moment my feet hit the ground, I run into the forest. Logan had been steps behind me. If he had lunged forward, he probably would have got me. But Blake somehow pulls me away. Lifting my feet off the ground as he placed a hand over my mouth. He wasn’t alone. I could just make out Xavier and Abby hiding among the trees. Abby's eyes were looking in the direction I had just come from. Her lips moving.As Blake hands me the dagger. I felt the sa

Logan’s POVShe had given herself to him. I could smell his stench all over her as I held her close. But she would be mine again soon enough. She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t fight me, even when I pin her against the door. She doesn’t even try to link Blake. In fact she does everything that I ask. Pulling her out of the window, I drop us to the ground. Checking that we were entirely alone before heading into the forest.Blakes men were stupid. They were easy enough to get past undetected. It helped that Lana followed me like a sheep. That she did everything I asked.Pushing her into the back seats of my hidden jeep, she still remains quiet. There was no heavy breathing, there weren’t even any tears. She looks back over her shoulder as I drive away from the new pack that Blake had created.“Don’t you dare link him.” I warn her. If she had already done so, there would be no chance that I would get out of the pack grounds alive.Her head moves up and down. Her brown eyes wide as they lo

Lana’s POVHe was so angry. The grey of his eyes deepened as he snapped at me, pointing to the door. He must have seen the vision too. It was the only answer as to why he was so angry.“I don’t want to see Freya. I want to know what the vision means. I know you saw it too.”“It’s you.” He takes a step back. “It was never Logan. It was always you.”“I don’t know what you mean!” I did though. He had seen it as clearly as I had. The dead bodies piled up underneath me. The blood that was streaked across my face. How he and Logan were both looking up to me.“You know exactly what I mean Lana. Don’t try and play the fool now.”“I’m not… I…” I had no idea what to say and sit myself back down in his office chair. “I would never.”“Wouldn’t you? It’s not like you are sin free is it? You have killed wolves in your bid to find him. Your aim was to stop him.”“I didn’t, that was Abby. I was just… just there. I don’t want to do that. That isn’t me.”He lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me. “I

Blake’s POVIt was like we had never been apart. Everything came flooding back. Every inch of her body was just as I remembered.Hurrying up the stairs, I run into Freya. She frowns and then asks if I had seen Lana. She didn't normally speak to me unless Calvin or Lana were around.“Yes, I’m just retrieving some clothes for her.”Her frown deepens until her brows suddenly shoot upwards, a big smile on her face. “Could you just tell Lana that I need to speak to her, like urgently.”“Is there a problem?”“Not exactly. Maybe, I guess. Nothing to do with Logan or anything thats happening.”She spins around and I catch the extra scent on her. She was pregnant.“You want me to tell Lana that you’re pregnant?”She turns back to me. Her eyes wide. “How did you know?”“I’m not stupid, your scent has altered to accommodate the hormones.”“I know you don’t like me Alpha Blake, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Not now, not ever.”“Have you told Calvin?”She shakes her head at me.“Then maybe start

Lana’s POV“Logan is recreating the Blood Pack.” I mutter, casting my eyes in Blakes direction.“I warned you, Lana. I warned you about this shit. You should have stuck with the plan.”“The witch finally says something that I can agree with.” Blake sits on a bench against the furthest wall.I pull the collar of my tshirt down, “Can you get rid of this?”“It’s a mate bond, only rejection can.”“It’s not a true bond.”She gazes at me with her brown eyes, “He never confirmed it?”“No.”“He finally fucked up.” She mutters to herself. A smile spread across her face. “Lana, he screwed up.”“What do you mean, witch?” Blake spits on the ground. Clenching his teeth together.“That mark. He was supposed to confirm it. Kendra put it on you when she saw his mark. She used his blood to form a bond between you. Replicating his mark.”“Kendra? How do you know this?”I had had the mark for as long as I could remember.“Before she figured out the danger of what Logan could do. She thought connecting y

Lana’s POVThere were talks every day. Some that I was shielded from, others where they encouraged me to talk. But I never had anything to say. Other than feeling like my head was going to explode.Blake was growing more and more pissed off when no one could come up with a plan. What Blake wanted to do was use me. I had agreed to it. But so many of the pack hated the idea. They thought that I would turn on them, or that Logan would use me to get exactly what he wanted.It didn’t help that Logan continued to call to me. He seemed to think that he could talk to me whenever he wanted. It was impossible for me to block him. He would never ask me how I was. It was always questioning me about Blakes plans. When I didn’t answer, he would grow mad and cut me off. And for a moment, I would find relief. He was choosing the Blood Pack over me.I had stopped trying to fight it or trying to hide it. Blake would always know. He had already said that Logan was trying to break me down. I finally beli
Hunting the Alpha Ninety.
Blake’s POVFive days had passed and there had been no sign of him. It was like he had fallen off the Earth. I sent people out everyday. But there wasn’t even a single piece of evidence that suggested he had returned home or that he had come anywhere near my pack.Lana wasn’t herself either. She would wander the house. Often deep in thought. I tried to talk to her but it was like talking to a brick wall. Anything that I said just didn’t sink in. Sometimes I would find her in a corner, muttering to Freya. They would stop talking the moment they saw me.I didn’t like the witch being here, but I had very little choice in the matter. Calvin had already marked the witch. If I threw her out, then I would have problems with my brother and Lana. It was a shitty scenario that I was trying my hardest to ignore. Aiming to focus on the bigger problem of Logan.More and more of my pack from Europe turned up everyday. New homes were constantly being built on the land. It was expanding quickly, but
