CHASE.I really didn't buy Axel's idea of not letting her back. In fact, he was being a pussy. Letting his emotions dictate what needed to be done wasn't the best idea right now.We needed her back very soon, and if she wasn't here when we needed her, there would be a very good chance we would keep getting attacked and our guards killed.But I feared they weren't going to buy my idea. We needed her back since we had no idea what the hell we were supposed to take care of in this situation, there wasn't any other way. So I thought we should find a way to bring her back and banish her once we were done with her.The tension continued to mount and over time, none of us came up with anything. The way he had said it shook me from within and I wished there was an easier way we could get all this done.I took a good look at Axel who's stony expression was still intact, even after mentioning Aria. They looked in my direction immediately."Brothers," I began. "All I want to say is that we canno
DAMON.We quickly bolted through the door and hurried down the stairs, worried as f*ck. When we got to the front of the Packhouse, there were figures running towards us. We all soon figured out the figures were guards. A huge smoke was coming from the boundary and the skies were filled with smoke."Shit!" Axel thundered,"What happened?!" He asked rhetorically. Even the guards we saw didn't stop to tell us what was wrong. They all hurried off, scared for their lives. Something evil had happened. The three of us quickly hurried off to the boundary. The sight that awaited us there was nothing short of a nightmare. My heart broke at what I saw.The nausea took over me immediately and I turned away, a very bitter feeling filling my mouth instantly. More than ten of our boundary guards were on the floor, their bodies savagely torn apart like animals at an abattoir. I could not hold back the revulsion that took hold of me instantly.My body convulsed as I hurried off to a corner, retching
ARIA.Recuperating once again felt like a welcome reprieve. It was a slow but satisfying process. I kept getting better everyday but the poison wasn't a mild one. I believed whoever had poisoned the food was intending to kill Alpha Damian but who would ever think of doing that? I asked myself rhetorically, shaking my head.The stomach pains were persistent but they were slowly receding as well. I felt so happy with what was happening. I was very lucky to have people who actually cared about how I was doing and would do anything to make me feel better. The nurses were an example.They were always there when I was alone to comfort me and ask me if there was anything I wanted. At times they would tell me the things that were going on in the Pack. At first, I thought they were being fake and had an intent to finish me off since the poison couldn't do its job properly.I was more alert and would sometimes scare them away with my groans, but after some time, I found out that they were all in
THEO."Don't stop!" I yelled, looking back angrily at my men. Nightfall was approaching and I needed to get there before it was night. I needed to teach them something in front of the Pack members.The simultaneous marching continued and soon we were nearing the gate of the White Blood Pack. We had managed to disarm the guards at the boundary and deal with them immediately.None of them were able to send out an alarm that they had been attacked, and judging from the way the gates were open, I could tell that we had succeeded in doing that.Anger filled me as I saw the Pwck gates, I couldn't wait to get in there and deal with the bastards that called themselves Alphas. I couldn't let them get away with this one.Not this time. And despite the small number of guards i had compared to theirs, I knew we were going to have them completely defeated. My guards were unusually fierce and that was enough to get them begging on thеir knees. Swiftly, we quickly ran towards the Pack gates.The guar
DAMIAN.My heart raced frantically as I followed the guard out of the room. I couldn't just wait to know who had done this and deal with him.The news had brought a flicker of hope to my heart. My mind raced with the things I could do, whoever it was to get my revenge, the revenge that I desperately sought. A lot of things crossed my mind.Decapitation and cutting their fingers bit by but, one by one, or having their bowels pulled out of their ass while going through another form of excruciating torture. The thought made me delighted and I couldn't wait to exert them as soon as the sessions began. From where I was, I could hear shouts coming from the Packhouse.The scream was followed by sounds of blows. I guessed the guards had caught up with him and were doing everything to make him calm down. A smile crossed my lips as we both turned into the corner and approached the Packhouse. We both got to the Packhouse and what I saw made my heart miss a beat.My chief cook, Leo, was surrounde
CHASE.I was getting more and more frustrated as we continued with the journey of finding Aria. Damian was as well frustrated and the look on his face said it all. We walked through the unfamiliar surroundings, making sure that we looked back at instances to know if we were being followed or if there was any sort of trouble we had to avoid.The journey was a very exacting one because every single search that we had carried always ended up in some sort of cul-de-sac and it was weighing me down so much.I wished that there was an easy way of just getting to know where she was hiding and bring her back to where she was supposed to be. Every single local that we questioned always ended up telling us that they had no idea who she was and that they had never seen anybody according to our description.We continued, however, to seek answers despite the disheartening replies from people, but soon enough we were starting to get more and more worried of never finding her while our people were in
My man and I got closer to the boundaries of the white blood Pack. My nerves were on the edge, not because I feared the Alpha or that I was anxious about the kind of guards or Warriors that he had. I was only worried about anything happening to my sister. I had no idea how I was going to feel or what I was going to do if I came here and my mission proved unsuccessful. A lot of thoughts ran in and out of my mind as I thought- What if something bad had happened to her and there was nothing I could do to help her? What if she was not even here and what if the whole thing turned into a sort of disagreement between the Alpha and I. Well,it was just best to hope and see how things would would out. We were approaching in our normal formation. I led the group and made sure to have some of our trackers move forward at times to alert us if there was anything on the way. The trackers had just returned
ALPHA DAMIAN."There is an Alpha at the boundary with his guards and he has stated he isn't going anywhere without seeing you."The guard said, his breath hitched as he tried to explain himself."Are they rogues?" I asked him, my brows drawn together."No, Alpha. But he behaves like one. He nearly got into a fight with us but the situation is OK now. I'd advise you to come talk to him and give us further directions. He seems a bit impatient and I wouldn't want any of our guards dying because of a fight with him." The guard said, his eyes filled with worry as he spoke to me.I could tell from the way he spoke to me that he didn't want to tell me how strong the Alpha was, and was only speaking so I could help avert the onslaught that was on its way.I thought about the situation for a while and finally decided to go see what was wrong. But I clearly didn't like distractions like this, things that took my mind off when there were very important things that I needed to attend to.The catc
After the tumultuous battle with Caesar, it took Aria several weeks to recover from her physical and emotional wounds. Axle, Chase and Damon were there to look after her and offer comfort as she got better.As her strength returned, they began to rebuild the Pack, together. Caesar's men, despite their atrocities, were forgiven and allowed to return to their former Pack's and families, but were sworn to an oath that they would forever owe their allegiance to the Pack.Eventually as the wounds of the battle faded and everything gradually came back to normal, Aria and Axle came together. She chose him and they consummate their love, sealing their commitment to one another for eternity. Axle marked her, which ended up making her even more powerful.Damon and Chase, meanwhile, pledged their allegiance to the couple without hesitating, having been brought back from the brink of death by their fated love.
AXLE.Intense fear seized me the moment I understood what was going on. I watched as the witches raised their wands towards and began to cast the ancient spell. I knew what they were doing.They were bending her to their own will, and were turning her into nothing more than a puppet to do whatever they wanted. Caesar was right when he told her that he didn't need her intention to do what he wanted and I had only doubted him until I saw what his real intentions were.I tried to yell at Aria to resist what they were doing, or even cry out in protest, but my voice caught in my throat. I couldn't say a single word, the witches had done something to us and glancing back at my brothers who were still chained, I could tell from the sombre look in their eyes that they were also trying to yell at her to resist them but it wasn't just happening. I was utterly downcast seeing her go through so much pain without being able to help her.I wished I had helped her when I had the chance, none of this
ARIA.As my consciousness slowly returned to me, I felt like I was enveloped in a fog of pain and exhaustion. At first I couldn't move a single muscle and my body felt so sore. My vision was also blurry as I tried to make a sense of where I was. I blinked repeatedly and frantically before the hazy view finally disappeared and that's when I realised the reality of things.I was chained to a wall, with iron links that dug into my skin so tight that they held me in place and didn't allow me to make a single movement. My heart jumped in fear as I thought about it. What must have happened, I hoped this wasn't what I had in mind. If it was then we were in very deep trouble.I tried to speak, but all that escaped my lips was a ragged cough which burned my throat. My throat also felt sore, which added to the pain. I groaned before trying to work on the chains again, summoning my powers but it was so useless. Nothing happened, in fact the chains didn't shake a bit. I immediately got desperate t
ARIA.The sun was slowly starting to rise and so were our hopes. The tension in the air was so thick that you could feel it. Axle quickly took his sword, and moved out of the way for the others to take theirs. Some of us had chosen to be foot soldiers during the battle, but there was still a great chance that we were going to fight in our wolf forms if the worse came to the worse. Three days had passed since we received word of the enemy's approach, and just as the man had put it, they were arriving today. Spies had already brought news that they were very near to the borders and might be here anytime. That's when the door burst open. A Pack guard ran in breathlessly, it was very clear from the way he looked that he had a very big news, the one we had been expecting since we discussed the battle strategies again this morning. They were partitioned to lead different troops and make sure that there weren't a lot of casualties. "Alpha. " He called out, breathless as he bowed towards A
AXLE."What are you doing here? I asked you not to come back anymore." I asked, staring down at her with utter disgust. She smiled as if taunting me. "Really? Is this it? You're going to throw me out because of that wretched, sniveling piece of shit that-" I smacked her across the face so hard that her face turned red instantly. But it didn't seem to hurt her because the next second she was smiling and shaking her head slowly. "Tell me what I did to deserve this, Axle. Give me one reason." She said. "You disrespected my mate. And I don't want you anymore. I made it clear to you when we first met that you could be going anytime. And that time is now. She's now the one in my heart, not you." I growled at her but she scoffed in response as the tears started to fall from her eyes. "Yeah... you did." She said, between sobs. "But I fucking loved you. You gave me a reason to love again, and is this what you're going to do to me after all we've been through? I was there for you, I was the
ARIAONE WEEK LATER"Are you sure about this?" Chase whispered to Axle before looking up, our eyes met. I still felt guilty every time I looked into his eyes or he looked into mine because of the things I did to him, to the three of them. I couldn't believe I had gone feral that night, and it took me some time before I had had to accept the fact that I nearly killed the three brothers. Today, we had gathered to talk about the news that was coming, which was also part of the reason I was attacked. News had been sent to us that one of the spies was returning to the Pack and would be here anytime soon, with great news. We, therefore, had to gather immediately and talk about it before sending him out again to join the others and inform us if he got other information. I smiled at Chase, even though I felt so horrible right now. He smiled back before he went back to discussing it with his brothers. I knew they were also struggling to make sense of the tangled mess we found ourselves in, ju
DAMON. It took half an hour or thereabout before Chase finally recovered and was able to move about. The guards were already standing outside the door as soon as Axle informed them that things had gotten out of hand and she could be out any moment to destroy and kill anybody in sight. Thankfully, none of that had happened as we were all cramped in the same room, still breathing heavily from what had happened.Everyone was still huffing from the events that had preceeded the moment. Aria wasn't awake yet, and was lying on the bed. Nobody knew if she had passed out, or if it was more than that. But we could all agree on the fact that she was alive. We watched over her the whole night and got her to her chambers the next morning so that maids would clean the mess that had been made in the room. Nobody had an idea if she was also going to behave that way again soon, we all had to hope that nothing bad was going to happen. After that, we all retired to our rooms, making sure that Aria'
AXLE. "Yes, your Grace!" The guard yelled as he quickly scurried through the door. As soon as the room was free of the doctors and the guards, and it was only Aria and I, I turned to glance back at her. She was still lying down on the bed and the convulsions were still minor. I could only wonder how bad it could get. It looked as if she was battling so hard against invisible restraints. And despite the poison that was wrecking her system right now, her eyes remained distant, staring into the void as if lost in some sort of internal torment beyond my reach. Summoning the courage I had left despite the warnings of the doctors, I walked to her bedside and brushed a hand through her face, pushing stray hair aside and staring into her dark, black eyes. Then I spoke to her. "It's okay, Aria." I muttered, my voice was strained with worry. I couldn't imagine how all this was going to turn out. I just hoped it all went well in the end, but at the same time I had to be very prepared becau
TITLE: AXLE. "What do you mean by that?" I yelled at the doctor before quickly running to her side. I was breathing heavily yet again and my face was filled at sweat from the exertion of force all this while. I knew knew I was still going care of a lot of things before the whole thing ended by the way I wondered how a happy night had just turned into a. Very sad one. I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, and immediately got off her to allow the doctors to continue their job, but I was sorely mistaken thinking that that was going to do anything. She didn't didn't seem to take note of my presence. She had stopped struggling now and was instead staring into the ceiling. Her eyes were bloodshot a s the veins in her neck were very visible. It seemed as though we could see the contamination work its way up and down her body without being able to stop it, it felt like we were being taunted."Don't ignore me doctor!" I growled at him, before looking at Aria
