Liam was fighting the rogues who were relentlessly attacking him one after another. Nobody bothered Adele, who was watching around her closely, being alert. Liam killed quite a few of the rogues, but they seemed to be increasing in numbers.
Adele was frustrated. " Why do these rogues always attack us? Where in the world do they find so many rogues? This situation seems similar to what Maria said. Do you think it's her?" she asks Alexa.
" I am sure it's her. We have to be prepared," says Alexa.
Suddenly, one of the rogues starts banging on the glass of the car's passenger door, trying to smash it while Adele feels a contraction coming and cries out in pain. " I can't shift now, but I need your help, Al."
" You don't have to ask," replies Alexa. Adele had closed her eyes, waiting for the contraction to pass. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist, trying to control her pain while the rogue had managed
It was celebration time for the members of the Blackwood Pack. For the first time in the past 15 years, Chris and Liam genuinely looked happy.A party was arranged for the newest members of the Blackwood Pack. Chris was so excited he decided to send an open invitation to every werewolf who wished to attend and bless his kids.Adele was skeptical about the idea as the recent attacks had convinced her that something was not right.She approached her mates and asked, " Do you think it is a good idea to invite everyone?"" Why not?" Chris asked." Are you not worried about the attacks?"" Our pack is well secured," Chris said confidently." But don't you think it's unusual being attacked so often?" Adele said, being careful about her words. She didn't want her mates to know that she knew about their past.Chris glanced at Liam, who looked worried and replied through mind-link, " It's happeni
" You have got competition," Archer said with a smirk." What do you mean?" asked Chris." I thought you were Liam's only love, but that's no longer the case," said Archer. He observed the change in Chris's expression and aggravated him even more. " He seems to be taken by his mate. It's true nobody can fight the pull of a mate bond.""No," said Chris, a bit offended. " Liam was just concerned about Adele."" Are you trying to convince me or yourself?" asked Archer.Chris clenched his fist in anger, and Archer continued, " You look jealous."" I am not jealous, " Chris said calmly, trying to control his anger." I can understand your jealousy, but I' am confused about something."" What?" asked Chris." Are you jealous for your lover or your mate?" mocked Archer." Are you looking for a beating?" spat Chris. Right then, Chris saw Liam argue with a guest. He rushed towards Liam, who was speaking to someone, " Why have you come n
For the next few days, Alpha Smith continuously pestered Liam to come to his pack for the training, and finally, Liam agreed to go for a week. Chris was not willing to let him go, but Liam convinced him, saying it was only for a week.Even Adele was unhappy as she had just developed a bond with Liam, and him leaving for a week did not sit well with her. Also, Chris seemed to be annoyed with Adele for the past few days, and she didn't know what she had done wrong for him to behave so cold towards her.After Liam left, Adele tried to approach Chris, but he either ignored or just replied in single words as if he was not interested in talking. Adele was so irritated by his arrogant personality; she didn't want to go near him, but Alexa always persisted in reconciling with her mate.In her frustration, Adele spats at Alexa, " Don't ask me to go again; he's so rude. What does he think of himself? "" Ahhh... Co
" The f**k did you say?" Chris asked, gritting his teeth." Exactly what you heard. I am not going anywhere," Adele said with determination." Can't you listen to me for once?" Chris asked, frustrated." Even I am asking the same from you. We must get back to the pack and discuss this matter calmly," Adele said.Chris growled a little and then faced Archer. " You tell me what happened here?"Archer pointed towards Sera and said, " This girl came here to harm you and your mate, so I was stopping her."" He's lying. It's him who is plotting against you," Sera, who was hiding behind Adele, now screamed, glaring at Archer." Don't trust her, Chris. She is worse than her mother and has an ulterior motive," Archer said to Chris as he knew very well how to manipulate him.Chris had no reason not to trust Archer, so he stared at Sera with hatred. " Why are you here? Who sent you?"" I-I came here for h-hel
"What the heck is going on with you? Why didn't you tell me earlier if something was bothering you?" Axel, Adele's brother, burst out as soon as Adele asked his help to rescue someone. Before Adele could say anything, Axel continued, " And why are you asking for my help? Did your mates refuse to help you? Is there any problem?"Adele's voice got stuck in her throat. She needed her brother's help, but she didn't want to tell him about her relationship with her mates. In her haste to call her brother, she didn't even think what she would say to him. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, " I will explain it to you when we meet. Can you meet me now near the intersection outside our pack?"Axel knew his sister wouldn't ask for help unless it was really important, so he agreed. " Don't forget to get a few warriors with you," Adele reminded him, to which Axel agreed and cut the call.Adele then faced Sera and asked, " Do you know the place where they have kept yo
Axel and the others were keenly observing the scene in front of them. The three rogue guards who were talking to each other were taken off guard when two wolves suddenly attacked them from either side. Before the rogues could react, Axel and the warriors attacked them from the front, and they were dead within seconds.They all slowly entered inside and saw the ground floor was completely empty. They sniffed around for any scent, and Axel said, " There's nobody on this floor."" I can smell something from downstairs," one of the warriors, Drew, said. " You all stay here. Let me check how many are present." Axel nodded and Drew slowly crept down the stairs. Once he reached the last step, he peeked inside, and at first glance, he could see around ten wolves. He observed their locations and went back to inform the others." I could see at least ten wolves, but they didn't look like rogues, " Drew observed." What do you mean?" another warrior, Lucia, asked.
Adele was stunned. She couldn't process what she had heard just now. After a moment of silence, she asked, " Took him? Where? Who?"" If I knew, that person would be dead by now, " Chris growled." But Liam was at his cousin's pack," Adele remarked." Alpha Smith told me Liam is missing now," Chris said sadly."Then why the f**k are you still here sulking. We should go to the Sunflower pack and check right now," Adele said in a matter-of-fact tone.Finally, Chris seemed to have come to his senses. When he had heard of Liam missing, his mind had gone numb. Chris was no longer a 25-year-old powerful Alpha; rather, he was back to the time when he was 10 and had lost his Mom. Now that Adele had told him, he realized he should be out there looking for Liam." Come on, let's go," Adele insisted, and they both got inside the car.Chris drove to the Sunflower Pack at record speed. They dashed into the Packhouse, where luckily Chris found Alpha Smith sittin
As soon as Alexa was out of the Sunflower Pack border, three rogue men stood in front of her path.One of the men smirked at her and said, " You are a hindrance to us, so we have been ordered to eliminate you. " He didn't waste any time and took out a gun from his pocket and fired at Alexa.Fortunately, Alexa was alert, so she dodged the bullet at the right moment and pounced on the guy making him fall down. Even the gun fell down, and Alexa quickly kicked it off under the bushes.Werewolves usually fought with knives and claws, not guns, so she knew these guys were serious; she didn't waste any time and bit the guy on his leg hard, taking out a chunk of his flesh so that he couldn't walk.The other two guys attacked Alexa simultaneously. One held a knife and struck from the front, while another grabbed her leg from behind. Alexa ducked to avoid the blade, but it slightly sliced her arm. She then freed her leg and
The Blackwood pack was filled with people running around taking care of the Wedding Arrangements. Their Alpha and Beta had warned everyone that the preparations should go smoothly, and their Luna couldn't be disappointed at any cost. After the witch's death, Adele and her kids returned to the Blackwood Pack. Chris and Liam had been wanting to propose to Adele ever since. After six months, during one of their dates at the beachside, Chris and Liam bent on their knees and proposed for marriage." Took you long enough," Adele signed." I was starting to think you two wanted to marry each other, leaving me at the side."" Of course not!!" Chris said." Don't you trust us?" Liam asked." I do. I know you two love me a lot.""Then why would you think we would not want to marry you?""Because when I came to Blackwood pack, there were rumors that you two would marry each other."" That was before," Liam agreed. " But now we know that you are the connecting link. If we marry you, our relation
Adele was so happy to see Chris alive and healthy that she instantly kissed him on his lips. For a moment, Chris was stunned and still as a stone, fearing the blissful moment would end. He then responded to the kiss with equal enthusiasm grabbing her hair to deepen the kiss. They parted only when they were out of breath, and Adele said in between her pants, " I...I love you."" What?" Chris asked, even more, shocked." I love you, Chris. I really do."Chris was so overwhelmed by Adele's confession he pulled her for another kiss which lasted for a few seconds, and said with a smile, " I love you too. Does that mean I am forgiven?"" I had forgiven you a long time ago, and I am so happy and relieved to see you are alright."" What about Alexa?" Chris asked, looking concerned." Al...?" Adele called for her wolf." Don't disturb me when I am having a romantic conversation with my mates," Alexa said irritatedly. " She's busy," Adele said, smiling at Chris, who gave her a knowing smile."
Adele felt dizzy as the pain was so immense she couldn't breathe properly. Liam held Adele and looked in the direction the spear came from and couldn't see anyone. He was confused about whether he should take care of Adele or go and look for Chris, who had fallen off the cliff. "I-I am a-alright. L-look for C-Chris," Adele stuttered in between her pain. Liam hurried towards the end of the cliff and called for Chris, but there was no response. He fell to the ground as he felt a sense of panic rising within him, thinking the worst. Why did Adele feel the pain in her heart? Was it because of losing her mate? Was Chris dead?Meanwhile, a thousand things were going on in Adele's mind too. Within a span of a few hours, she felt like she had lived a lifetime. Just a while back, Liam was on the brink of death, and now Chris. Why was this happening to her? Why was the Moon Goddess so evil to her and her mates? She hadn't even expressed her love for them yet. Chris and Liam had begged her for
" Whatever I said earlier was true," Chris said to Adele." What are you talking about?"" About loving you."Adele blushed at that. " W-We can discuss that l-later."" No, we can't," Chris said desperately." Why?""I-It's just that we have waited for a long time, and I have to tell you this." Chris suddenly held Adele's hands and looked into her eyes. " I am genuinely sorry for all my mistakes. If I could turn back time, I wish I could undo all those horrible things I did to you."" Chris, I understand. You don't have to..."" No, Adele. Please hear me out," Chris interrupted. " I have to say this not only to you but also to Alexa. She almost lost her life because of me. No day went by after that when I didn't regret not trusting you."" The past events of my life muddled my thoughts. I am not trying to justify myself here, but I just want you to know everything that led to the wrong judgments. My Mom's love for her family was not enough to fight over Samara's manipulations. Finally
Chris was on a role. Because of his inability to assist his mate, he was so enraged that he wouldn't let the tribal guards stand for more than a few seconds. The Queen was in distress as well as in awe of Chris's prowess. Meanwhile, Adele and Liam had a hard time dealing with the snakes. Liam had easily managed to break the cabin door, but the sight inside was hideous. The room was filled with poisonous snakes crawling on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling. Adele had managed to get hold of a stick to ward off the snakes. Liam reached Adele by stomping and kicking a few snakes out of his way." Out of all the creatures we could meet, why should it be snakes? I don't know how to fight them," Adele stated in distress." Let's just try to get out of this room," Liam said and held Adele's wrist. A snake fell on Liam's back, and Adele moved it away with the stick. They got rid of the few snakes and were almost at the door when a snake coiled itself around Adele's leg. She tried to ge
" I am glad you took my advice," The deep voice said in the Queen's head. " You were right," the Queen agreed. " Those strong and capable men don't deserve to be with that weakling." When the three people had unexpectedly shown up at her tribe, the Queen's first instinct was to get rid of them. Last time, a group of people had come up to them with gifts only to lure them into a trap. Half of their tribe had been destroyed as the vile people stole their precious stones and gems. She and her tribe had vowed not to trust anyone again, so she had ordered her men to execute the three people. Things took a turn when they saved her from the huge beast. The Queen was awed when she saw them turning into a wolf. She had never seen a werewolf before and had thought it was a myth. Though she hadn't seen them fight, the sheer size and the aura of the black wolf showed that he was strong. Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard a voice in her head. " He's good. Do you like him?"The Queen w
Adele, Chris, and Liam were taken to the lady who was sitting on the throne. The guards spoke to her in their language and skeptically stared at the three. Adele noticed the lady staring at Chris and Liam a bit too longer than required and felt annoyed. " I hate her already," Alexa scowled." Same here," Adele replied." Who are you?" the tribal woman asked in a deep voice, and they were surprised." You speak our language?" Chris asked, looking impressed." I know many languages," the lady said proudly. " Probably more than you."" That's wonderful," Liam chirped. " We were wondering how to communicate with you people. You will be of great help." Liam approached the altar, and Adele snorted at his eagerness.The guards came forward pointing their spears, thinking Liam was harmful to their Queen. " Woah!! Calm down. We mean no harm," Liam said, raising his hands." How can we trust you?" the Queen asked. " Last time, the people who came to this forest destroyed half of our tribe an
Adele was going through the dark tunnel with Chris and Liam. They walked for a few hours and found a wall with a few markings on it. " What language is this?" Liam asked." Nothing we know," Adele stated. " But these symbols look familiar; I saw them in the castle."" Do you think it is of any importance?"" I don't know," Adele said, staring at the circular symbol with three lines on it." Then let's keep moving," Liam said, and they walked away. After a few hours, they found a ray of light entering the tunnel through the wall of rocks." I think that's the way out," Chris remarked.He and Liam used their strength to move aside the rocks one by one, and finally, they had enough space to squeeze out.As soon as they were out of the tunnel, their jaws dropped in surprise." Did we step out of the forest?" Adele wondered, seeing the small-sized huts in front of her. Out of the blue, everything was blurred, and Adele felt darkness all around her. Suddenly she closed her eyes as a flas
" Why did you do that?" Liam cried out, almost in tears." I..."" We know you are mad at us," Chris stated. " But you didn't have to put out your anger on the poor puppy."" Listen to what I am saying..." Adele said when the puppy in her arms attempted to escape.Liam tried to grab the puppy from Adele, but she backed away." Give it back. He is in pain," Liam said, looking hurt." Didn't you observe something distinctive about the puppy?" Adele asked before they could interrupt her again." What?" Liam asked, confused." What's unusual?" Chris asked, gazing closely at the puppy. Suddenly he noticed a change. "Its eyes...?"" Exactly," Adele agreed. " Previously, the puppy's eyes were blackish-brown, but now it's golden like that of a cat."" It looks similar to that of Mr. Ugly. Does that mean it is...?"The puppy was desperately
