Isabelle breathed heavily. She had finally crossed her pack's border without anyone noticing. Now, she wants any rogue to see her and bring her to his master, Dane. She had walked for almost thirty minutes but she didn't see any rogue. A smell assaulted her nostril and she knew she was getting closer to a rogue. She walked faster. She wanted to get this done once and for all. She heard the scrunch of a leaf not too far off. Gnarling follows. There were a total of three rogues. They came and circled her like the prey. "Take me to your Alpha. I want to see him." She said."Who do you think you are to demand our Alpha?" The tallest of them said. He wore dark-coloured clothing which made him blend with the darkness.Isabelle didn't say anything further as she looked at him with a smirk. Seeing that she wasn't talking, they moved towards her with caution and bound her arms, putting a dark cloth to her eye to hinder her eyesight. She felt a dirty cloth on her mouth as they gagged her
Isabelle lies across Dane's chest, stroking the hairs on his chest. Sometimes, she would give it a little tug which made Dane frown his face in displeasure. But that displeasure soon turned into a smile.He gazed at his beautiful mate. She had come willingly to him and given herself to him. He never thought she'd do considering how proud she was. He knew the request she asked of him would be no simple one because she would have sent a note or a maid but she chose to come herself which shows the gravity of the situation.Who dares hurt or threatens his mate will lose an eye or a limb he swore in his heart.She looked up at him as he accessed her features closely. She was a beautiful woman who knew how to get what she wanted. And this time she needed his help. He'd go miles to help her. His worry right now was she hadn't said anything about accepting him or not. He did not want to push it. But it was killing him inside to know if she would.Her words jolted him out of his thoughts."W
Claire got up from her sleep-long position which was not a sleeping position. She massaged her aching neck and stretched her limbs to get the blood flowing back into it again. She had slept off while reading the book. She sneezed as she caught a chill. The night sky was dark outside which meant she slept off for some hours. She stood up and walked into the library, closing the balcony doors behind her. She didn't know how or when she had slept. She was normally a light sleeper. But she guessed she had expected nothing to happen to her and had become comfortable in this place.A splitting headache overcame her as she dropped the book to the floor which made a loud thud in the silent library. She clutched her head in her hands as memories she had no recollection of started appearing before her eyes. She fell to the ground as she breathed heavily, the pain slowly subsiding. What was that? She thought. She didn't know where those memories came from. Is it from the present or the past?
Alpha Alexander looked at the files which were stacked up against one another on his office table. His mind hadn't stopped drifting to his mate. He has been gone for a day avoiding her like a plague.He knew she was insane but he couldn't bring himself to show weakness like his father. And what did that earn his father? Heartbreak and agony.He missed her, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and rub his scent all over her to ward off unmated males in his territory. Not like anyone would dare convert what belongs to him.He wasn't able to concentrate for more than five minutes before his mind went back to her. His wolf had stopped talking to him because of what he was doing to their mates. He knew he was cruel and she probably thought so. He had no way to let her in on his most traumatizing childhood experience on why he became dark-hearted. He checked the time and found out he hadn't had a wink in the past twenty-four hours. He had to see his mate. To make sure she was okay. And
"What do you mean you've never seen something like this?" Alexander asked with a hint of irritation and tiredness in his voice."I don't know sir. But she's supposed to be up for days now. Her temperature is down and all her vitals are in good condition." Another voice said. But Claire couldn't recognize the voice.One thing was sure. It belonged to a male. Who is he talking about? She opened her eyes softly and was met with a white ceiling. She blinked once, twice, and the white ceiling was still staring at her.Where was she? She was suddenly hit with the smell of disinfectant and she noticed a small beeping sound by her right. What happened to her? Why was she in the hospital? The last thing she remembered was that she had caught a small chill but that wasn't serious enough for her to be in the hospital.She tried to move her hand but found out they weighed tons like she was held down by lead. "She's awake!" She heard a female voice exclaim. She looked toward the sound of the vo
Isabelle lay on her bed, her body felt like it was on fire. Her dick head of a mate had used her to satisfy his needs without thinking about her.He had thought she enjoyed it because of the moans she faked at intervals. She wanted to satisfy him so he would not think twice about handing over the poison to her. With great difficulty, she stood up and went to the bathroom. Reaching there, she found the tub empty. She forgot she was now without a maid as she hissed in anger. Everything had turned sour for her the moment Claire stepped into the pack house. She rang for a maid in the kitchen who came up hurriedly after she barked a few orders at her.She washed up and got dressed. She wasn't in the mood to fill herself up like she usually does. Now wasn't the time to try to get Alexander's attention.She needed a maid badly. Someone who would help her carry out her evil plans, someone like her who wouldn't hesitate to kill someone. She noticed a particular maid throwing daggers in Cla
Claire and Alexander walked hand in hand, pack members stopping momentarily to greet them with lingering looks on Claire.She saw the confused looks on their faces. She couldn't blame them. Alpha Alexander hadn't introduced her as their Luna yet.But they could guess as much because his scent was all over her. She bent her head to the forest, ignoring all the piercing eyes on her. Some of them have her warm smiles but most of the females gave her a dagger look."They don't bite. Take up your head. You're their Luna and are above them in rank." Alexander said as he reassuringly squeezed her hands.She did as she was told, raising her head and meeting their gaze head-on. She realized it was hard as she expected. Her mind was only making a mountain out of a molehill.They finally reached the woods which were filled with dense trees.Alexander led her to a small clearing. She followed closely behind, sidestepping branches and twigs that could have given her a bruise."Show me your wolf."
"I'll get you checked up later. The doctor will know what to do. He said earlier he could not explain the reason you woke up late. Now that I think about it, it's because of your wolf. Don't worry, we'll get it sorted out." He said, playing with her hair which fell in graceful waves.Her heart soared when she heard the word 'we.' It means he's putting her into consideration. Although she knew nothing about him, she knew they were moving forward in their relationship. "Thank you." She said, which came from the deepest part of her heart. And she meant every word she said.It was nice having someone to share your problems and burdens with since she was used to handling her problems.Although she wouldn't want to bother Alexander about her wolf's condition, she couldn't refuse his help either.He took her up, standing up and stretching his aching muscles. He pulled off his shirt in one swift motion, without warning, showing off his tanned aba and chest."Ahhhhhh!" Claire screamed as she
"No" Claire shouted as light burst forth from her. The chains on her hands broke away. And she stood up from the slab in a whirl of light and wind.A look of shock was plastered on Kendrick's face. The room was enveloped in darkness. But Kendrick soon came out from his shock.His lips moved, changing spells, the crystals brought out a warm orange hue. He walked over to them, placing a hand on each of them. They shone with so much brightness, driving out the darkness. It combined together, a bright light bursting forth.Kendrick directed the light at Claire, who was above the ground with eyes, glowing red. The light came at her with full force. It hit her directly in her chest and she fell to the ground unconscious. "Now, I can do what I have in peace." An eerie smile covered Kendrick's face.********"What took you so long?" Nicklaus asked Aiden as he emerged from the door, holding a slumped Isabelle in his hands. Some guards were patrolling outside, looking for a hint that gave aw
"We have her sir." A soldier reported through the mind link. Aiden clenched his fists as anger radiated off his eyes. He was in kill mode. The thought of being dead by Alexander because of Isabelle made him want to rip her to shreds.He said through clenched teeth. "Coming over. Is anything with her?""Apparently not sir." Aiden furrowed his eyebrows as all eyes turned to him in the car. He had not followed them in the pack run through the forest. His role was to stay back. And go with other guards.He told Alexander of his finding through the link. He had not said all of it, before he was cut short. He gulped in fear. The waves of anger that were directed at him, made him so. The link was flowing with so much negativity, he feared he would be dead, before he knew what hit him.He got to the clearing where Isabelle was being held. She was blindfolded. She felt his presence and began to squirm, soaking the cloth around her eyes with her tears."Where is your lover boy?" Aiden asked w
Mia stormed into Alexander's office. Her eyes canned the room, before it landed on Alexander. He was seated on his chair, facing the window."Abigail called." She said once she entered the room.He swiveled in his chair. "Called?" A furrow came between his brows. "Yes, she called and got it me." She said, as she sat on the chair.Alexander's brows deepened. "I don't understand. How did she get to you?"Mia waved her hands in the air. She didn't know how to explain. "It has got something to do with magic."Alexander stood up at once. "Is Claire with them? Is she okay?" The look on Mia's face made him stop. He began pacing in the room. "Say something!" The silence was killing him.A look crossed Mia's face. It was a look of bewilderment. The day before, Alexander had stopped all search for Claire. Why was he so worked up again?"She…they are in the junction." She said.Alexander raised a brow at her. She sighed. How was she to tell him? But she did anyway. "Claire isn't with them."Fu
Claire watched. She could hardly contain her breathing as they came out in rapid breaths. She could not understand what was going on. She followed the masked man deeper into the forest. More than once, she tried to use her powers but something was blocking her off. And whenever she turned to do so, she felt a searing pain at the base of her neck."Stay here. I will be back." The man said, leaving her alone in the middle of nowhere.Now was the chance to do what she wanted to do. She tried calling Mia one more time but it did not go through.Before she went to the village, she had a conversation with Mia. The conversation was about how to reach her in case something like this happened. And she was right to think something like that.Abigail had taught her something like that. And as she looked at the dense trees around her, she was grateful for that.Scrunching footsteps could be heard and the man was back once again. She wondered why he had not blindfolded her again. Perhaps it was b
Isabella has to talk to Kendrick soon so she made up an excuse so she would be able to travel.Alexander didn’t really care where she went anymore so that was her opportunity. Kendrick would not be able to come in because of the force that would deny her entrance so Isabella has to travel out.She took no escorts or guards and went by herself,it was something she regarded to be very important to her so she wasn’t going to let it just slip.Soon she arrived at the outskirts where she could finally be able to see Kendrick,where the forces would have no effect on him.“Long time no see, I still don’t see what you want to see me about. You must be really brave to walk into my territory,I must say you have a lot of bravery but go on speak.” Kendrick said upon seeing her walk towards her.His eyes were as cold as the winter, and to include they were not welcoming at all.Isabella who was really terrified as the sky was pitch black here and she has never seen anything like that before.She g
Two men walked towards Claire and untied her.She felt so relieved to be free from such pain, the ropes already dubbed into her skin and it was quite painful.Still she shows no emotions on her face as her face was as cold as a shell.She stared at the masked man with a very infuriated look and an intimidating look got to him but when she saw what he had installed for her she would then change her perspective.She was finally taken out of the room and wondered what he was planning to do with her.“So what are you going to do with me now?” She inquired again.Her Motive was to taunt the hell out of the masked man. If only he knew who he was messing with.“I told you I would be the one asking the questions here and not you,I don’t think you value your head because if you do you won’t be messing with me in such a manner.” He said already getting annoyed at her.To her own pleasure,she smiled all the way as she was finally taken out of the room.“Why exactly are you happy?” He asked, alre
It has been quite a while since Claire has been tied down, she didn’t try to free herself through forgetting so she doesn’t hurt herself.She still could not do anything because she didn't know which people took her.She had to be very careful and lately she has been very insecure about her powers and she started feeling she was not strong until she got all the crystals she needed.Till then before she thought she would be as strong as her potentials could take her. She knew once she was done with hee quest she would be extremely powerful and be able to do all she ever wanted.Claire looked around and sighed.She wondered what her group mates would be doing by now. She hoped Benard was smart enough to know that coming back to save her was not a right option.It would just delay them, all she wants is for them to continue looking for the crystal and the person who took it.“I wonder how he is going to deal with Khloe and Abigail but I just wish him good luck. And I know they should kno
“Both of you should just give yourself some time to cool off, especially now. You both are angry and frustrated but you don’t need to take it out on one another." Bernard said, looking at both women.Khloe huffed off, clearly frustrated. And Abigail pretended like she didn't hear a thing. She couldn't believe this. That she could behave this way. But her anger had risen up a notch, towards Khloe."Just stay away from each other for some time and that should help. If you want me to intervene in this at all you are going to have to listen." Bernard said agan, when he received no response. "I hate dealing with women." He muttered under his breath.He said In a very plain tone but his face was still as cold as ever.He was not showing a single expression on his face, he looked so calm but also tired and annoyed no matter how much he tried to hide it.I just don’t know why we got into this in the first place .” Benald said in frustration.“Like we don’t know who brought such misery upon us
It has been five days since the last meeting Alexander held with the council members.Everyone had been on their toes ever since the last incident because they knew the type of person Alexander could be whenever he was angry and upset.And it was very obvious he was very upset about the Luna missing.Alexander was not satisfied with the turn ups, so he decided to stop the whole thing because it was not going to head anywhere anyways.Alexander called for Nicklaus, his Gamma and also his soon to be brother in law. Gamma woke up some days ago and was back to his feet.Alexander had been very busy these past few days because he had a lot of things you had to do because of the disappearance so he was the one that was kept in charge of sending out the soldiers to look for Claire.“Yes, you called for me.” Nicklaus said walking into the garden to meet Alexander who looked really disturbed.“Does anything matter? You look so disturbed and have a lot on your mind.” He asked Alexander who had
