Alpha Liam woke up to a peaceful morning. The sun had just risen, and the birds were chirping away. He stretched his arms and legs and yawned as he sat up on his bed. He looked around his room, and everything seemed to be in place. As he was about to get up and start his day, his Beta, Savio, barged into his room. Liam could tell from the look on his face that something was wrong. "Alpha Liam, I'm sorry to disturb you, but your mother has woken up with a fever. She needs your attention," Savio informed him. Liam's heart sank. He had been planning to meet Alpha Lance of the Blood Moon Pack that day so that they could travel together. But now, he couldn't leave his mother alone. "Thank you, Savio. Please tell the Pack physician to tend to her. I'll be there shortly," Liam replied, trying to sound as calm as possible. As soon as Savio left, Liam got out of bed and dressed quickly. He rushed to his mother's room, where he found her lying in bed, shivering. He sat beside her and held he
Inez slowly opened her eyes, feeling groggy from a night of restless sleep. Her mind immediately went to the book series that Alpha Dorian II had given her, and she began to search for it in the small room she had been given in Alpha Phineas's pack house. As she rummaged through her few belongings, she realized that the books were nowhere to be found. Panic started to set in as she thought of the possibility that Alpha Phineas's mother, who owned the books before, may have taken them away. After all, Alpha Dorian II had mentioned how much she loved the series.The thought that someone had taken it, perhaps even Alpha Phineas's mother who owned the book, made her blood boil. How could they take something that was so precious to her? How could they be so cruel?Inez's frustration grew into anger as she paced around the room, her mind racing with possibilities of who could have taken the book. She couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless to take something that meant so much to
Phineas was walking down the hallway with his usual air of authority when he suddenly stumbled upon an unexpected sight. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Nelly and Inez walking together, engaged in a conversation. It was not the sight of Inez that surprised him, but rather the presence of Nelly beside her.For some reason, Phineas had never been fond of Nelly. Perhaps it was her carefree nature, or the fact that she seemed to always be laughing and enjoying herself, while he was burdened with the weight of leading a pack. Whatever the reason, the mere sight of her caused a sharp pang of irritation to surge through him.But now, seeing her with Inez, the shock was palpable on his face. He couldn't quite fathom why the two of them would be talking, let alone walking together in the pack house. It seemed as if the universe was conspiring against him, for everything seemed to be going wrong lately.Phineas stood there for a few moments, just staring at the two girls, his mind racing wi
Alpha Lance’s POV.Four good days has passed and he hasn’t heard anything from his friend, Alpha Liam which confirms to his doubt. He was truly involved in what is currently happening at his pack but why would he do that? He would he snitch on him when they are meant to be each other’s keepers?Taking a swing from his cup, he chunked down the whiskey, the metallic taste burning his throat but he didn’t even care about it. He has never felt deceived like he felt. “Drowning yourself in alcohol won’t help you, you are man.” His wolf resurfaced.“Do something about this.” The wolf exclaimed.But what could he possibly do? He can’t declare war on a pack filled with Lycan ten times stronger than all. It will result in him losing his people and yet, he hasn’t even settled the matter he has at hand or rather, the two matters that he has at hand. Finding the person that is imposing an attack on his pack and also, dealing with the attack on Shadow pack issue.“What should I do?” alpha Lance fou
Inez’s POV.“Oh, she is slowly opening her eyes.” Inez heard a voice beside said in a whisper as she slowly opened her eyes.Squirting her eyes, Inez found herself staring at Nelly smiling at her. “We...” Nelly began, choking as she spoke out. That was when Inez noticed the tears falling out of her eyes. So after Agnes, someone really cares about her.“I had thought I have lost you.” Nelly ended, crying onto her palms.Inez could only look at her because no matter how hard she tries to speak out, she couldn’t find her voice. “Are you okay?” Nelly asked, wiping her tears when she saw how Inez was trying her best to voice something out.“Do you need water?” Nelly asked again and Inez nodded her head at her.Like a flash, Nelly rushed to get her a glass of water and she gladly gulped it down. “I will get the medical practitioner to check you.” With that, Nelly slipped out of the room.Alone, Inez began to recall about what had put her in a situation like that, this is literally the third
Phineas’s POVThrough the starry night, he stared the figure running away. He knew who it was, he knew what was of needed of him to do but he wasn’t going to do anything. He would love to see as it would lead.Feeling cold over standing by the balcony, he properly draped his cape on his shoulders before moving back in.A lot has been going on and the last thing he would want to do is follow Inez because she decided to run away.At least, whatever happens to her in the wood, he wouldn’t be held responsible because he didn’t send her away. She felt like leaving and she did, the only thing that he can do is help whosoever wants her back with any information he gets about her, but other than that, he won’t send any of his soldiers to get her.Putting Inez behind his mind, he once again found his heart crawling to think about Hailey and the relationship between his father. Just because of the incident that took place between him and Inez which also landed her in the bed for three days stra
Alpha Phineas’s POV.That night, he didn’t even blink an eye, due to how he sat down and pulled more dirt on his father.Now, the one thing he doesn’t understand is why his beta, Nick has something to with it.There is no way he would miss his name of course and since he doesn’t have more on him, he can’t pull him in.But what he has gotten would be enough to stop the wedding as he had wanted. As soon as the sun came out, he stood up, stretching his back until he felt so much better.The way he had sat down while digging the dirt was so unsettling for him yet, he wasn’t bothered since he got what he wanted.Then, Phineas decided to head over to his room and get ready for the day. If his father is going to get married, and he is going to stop the wedding, of course he has to make a far better appearance.He quickly took his bath, then walked back into his bedroom and got into a suit that brought his muscles. “Now, let’s see how the wedding will take place.” He smirked, looking at his r
Alpha Liam’s POVWhen his friend, Phineas came to him for help, he couldn’t say no straight forward and besides, it wasn’t a lie what they are accusing Hailey of.A year back or two years back rather, Hailey had gone to the Druid Peak pack, despite knowing that Alpha Liam and Alpha Phineas are best of friends.Hailey went there and exhorted from those living in the pack before running back to Dark Wood pack. When Alpha Liam found out about what pack she was from, it was too late.His friend was getting engrossed with her and her body. So he let her go, despite what he got from the council members.They almost cut off his ears, asking him to get Hailey or they do it themselves but he made sure they got the message. And now, the perfect opportunity and moment has come for her to repay what she has done. “Take her to the dungeon.” He ordered, backing his hands.It wasn’t long when they brought her back to the pack and he wasn’t going to waste time in punishing her. Alpha Phineas told hi
Words got to Liam about the danger Inez was in and he beat himself up for not believing her when she told him about what happened at Dragon pack.How could he have doubted her?He knew that Dragon pack was involved in this and he hurriedly made his way to Lance in a bid to help them and take Inez back to his palace.He got there and the sight of Zane having a knife on Inez’s throat got him angry. Staring directly at Zane, he ordered that he let her go but Zane proved to be stubborn.“Since you’re the strongest amongst them,” Zane started as he pushed Inez off of him without caring about the fact that she hit her head.Liam immediately sprung to her side and helped her up, “Are you Okay?” He asked and with one of her hands on her head she nodded positively even though it felt like her head had been split in half.“Fight me and let me see how strong they claim you are.” Zane finished as he charged towards Liam with his sword.Liam was fast enough to swerve so Zane would go beyond him and
The members were taken aback at how firm her disagreement was and a slight smirk played out on her face when she stared at the one who’d asked her to be on their side.“Seize her!” He ordered and once again she was held captive. Inez screamed when the whip touched her feet and the tears dropped from her face.They could do whatever they wanted, she’s not going to join them in whatever quest they had planned. She could feel all the strength she had draining when she was released.Falling to the ground, Inez laid there for a while with her eyes shut and the ability to move left her as her body quivered in pain.Her dress was already drenched in blood and there were bruises all over her body, she could feel the metallic taste of blood in her mouth from the side of her lips.“You have a choice and it really doesn’t have to be this way, join us and let us help you.” The man in charge of torturing her offered again but Inez stood her ground.The sound of her wails filled the air when the kn
Alpha Liam was happy to see her, he was glad about the fact that she came back to him but being a poor communicator and having a horrible way to express his emotions, he hid that fact from her. He wanted to hold her so close to him, he wanted to hug her and make sure that he feels every ounce of her but instead he’d turned deaf ears to her pleas of staying with him and sent her to Alpha Phineas instead.But now that she’s back to him he sent words to Apha Phineas to inform him that Inez was with him and so he shouldn’t bother looking for her since he’d come to pick her up himself which was a lie because Inez ran back to him.“Tell him I needed her help and she’ll be staying with me for a couple more days so he shouldn’t expect her.” He informed the guard that was supposed to relay the message to Alpha Phineas.Watching the guard leave the room, Inez heaved out a sigh of relief as she closed her eyes with her palm on her chest. She knew the person she felt the most drawn to was Alpha
“Ingrid, wait!” Alpha Lance chased after Ingrid breathlessly, he knew that there was nothing he could say to explain what the situation she saw in the chamber was.“How dare you!” She snapped as she turned to face him, her face red with rage and her eyes blazing with anger.“How dare you try to come out here and stop me from leaving!” She yelled as she raised her hand and her palm landed on Alpha Lance’s face. It was the second time he would be getting slapped but he understood Ingrid.“I’m sorry, he apologized,” his breathing paced as he tried to hold her but she inched away from him, “it’s not what you think, I really can explain.” He let out and Ingrid bursted out laughing.She thought her ears were playing tricks on her but it turns out that she’d really heard him right, he really just said that he could explain when she saw it all clearly with her own eyes.What could he possibly want to explain?“You can explain, Lance?” She asked rhetorically with one of her eyebrows raised, “w
Alpha Lance, who knew what he was doing thought about mating with her and also making her one of his fleets of concubines without the knowledge of her other mates.He began treating her nicely and hoped that she would fall for his antics and that he would finally get to have his way with her but none of his plans were working out.He had tried everything within his power to get her but the more he tried the more it seemed like she was drifting far away from him and with Inez’s stubbornness he knew that he couldn’t do much but forcefully have his way with her in order for him to get what he wants.“What else do you want?” He asked, his voice echoing and letting out all of the frustration he felt but tried to keep in because he wouldn’t want her thinking that the only thing he wanted her for was so she could become his mistress.“I have bought you flowers, I was there for you when you looked around and probably saw no one, I have tried to be nice and I became a completely different pers
Inez’s POVEver since she was taken away by Beta Henry, she had already made her plan. That she would run away, because staying with Alpha Lance and letting him have his way with her is going to kill her and she doesn’t want that. The night was still young, from the balcony Inez counted the guards there and they were twelve but as time passes, they remained five.It means that as the night goes on, the less the guards are by the gate so she decided to wait until they are around two or three, that would make her escape plans pretty much easier than anything. When she was brought to the room as Alpha Lance had asked, she was fed, given pain killers and also, some paste which Beta Henry claimed that the pack seer had sent it. Just had left it where she had her food, having so many thoughts about it. “If they really want to poison me, then they would used the food.” She thought. It has been quite a while since she has eaten and nothing has happened to her. So she picked up the paste,
Inez’s POVAfter three days, Inez was unconsciously moved to the Dark Moon pack, against. She wasn’t really unconscious that day, dhe just pretended to be. While on their way, she heard them saying that Alpha Phineas was going to give me his own part of punishment. And not for once was she scared. She was anticipating everything that would happen to her. Once again, she was threw into a cell but this time, it is bright. There is light in each of the cells and she was alone, no one to keep her company. Her hate the fact thather couldn’t come with Das with her, even though that is selfishness. Just the few days they had spent together, Inez have grown attached to Das and it is scrappy. Das was the one that told her about Agnes being punished also, she felt bad.When Inez had asked her how she had found out, she said it wasn’t something I should be worried about. That Inez should be happy because Agnes was getting a share of what she had done. But to be honest, but Inez really wasn’t.
Inez’s POVHer body has become numb, in the sense that she wasn’t feeling any more pain resonate through her.She pants harder as she was being unstrapped from the chair and her limp body fell with a thud. “Take her back to the dungeon and she shouldn’t be given any food yet.” She faintly heard Alpha Lance’s voice in the background ordered.She swallowed hard. It wasn’t as if she was expecting to be fed or anything. But at least, she will get to rest, and maybe, her body will heal faster.Where is Alpha Liam when she needs him? Or is he among them, joining hands to kill her? No, she dismissed the thoughts.That can never be true. Alpha Liam loves her, she believes that, and also, her heart yearns for him. She also loves him but declaring her love for him will only make her get more hatred from the world.She was lifted like a child and the guard hung her around his shoulders as they walked out. She was still stark naked, none of them had attempted to get something to close her up. Alp
Alpha Liam’s POVMarilyn held his hand, giving it a tight squeeze. It feels like she doesn’t enjoy the fact she is staying at the Blood Moon pack. “Are you sure you are okay?” Alpha Liam asked her.She gave him a faint smile, giving his hand a chaste kiss, a sibling kiss. “Of course, I am, why do you keep asking me?” She questioned.He could only nod his head at her because he can’t tell her the fact that he doesn't believe her words. She looks like someone that had been malnourished, well, except for the part where her legs were beginning to heal. “Alpha Lance might be a bastard, but he does take care of me.” She informed.“I am glad to hear that. Mother had no idea I was coming here, she would have.” He started but Marilyn finished off for him and they laughed together.“She would have followed you and made it a big deal if she sees me this way.” Marilyn laughed again.“Yes, and she would have dragged you back home. A typical thing mother can do.” He added.Marilyn heaved a sigh, sq
