ALPHA DAMIAN.It was quite surprising when I received a request from Aria to make me a meal. And for some reason, despite the fact that I was still pissed at her and intent on making her pay if she was an enemy. That night after the table had been dressed with the food she had prepared, Aria walked into the dining room and requested we have a private moment. I couldn't still figure out where this was heading but a wave of my finger had the guards walking out of the room. As soon as they were gone, she walked towards me and just as she got close enough to where I was seated, my heartbeat spiked as I wondered what this was all about but I knew that I was going to kill her if she tried anything smart but her next action surprised me. She let go of herself and fell at my feet on her knees. Then she spoke with genuine remorse. "I came to beg for your forgiveness, Alpha, because you're a good man, and I believe I have hurt you. You gave me a home when I was chased out by my mates. You we
ARIASlowly my unconscious body began to become aware of the environment.I felt like I was coming out from a deep underground. My senses were muddled, and my head was met with so much migraine. The world around me was filled with blurry visions of indistinct shapes and hazy colors.I tried to look around my surroundings and understand where I was, but the disorientation was overwhelming. I began to panic the moment I realized that I could not remember how I had ended up here, wherever "here" was. I tried to move my body, but it felt heavy and unresponsive.I started hearing Voices echo around me, though they were distant and muffled at first, like people were whispering in my dream. Soon the voices started to grow louder and clear. I strained my ears in an attempt to hear and make out the words, the only thing I got was the urgency in the manner at which they spoke."She's waking up!" One of them shouted, she looked so excited.I finally realized where I was and was able to tell th
THEO."What do you mean by that?!" I yelled in anger, growling at the guard who stood below the steps that led to the throne. He looked terrified because of my outburst but there wasn't another way to tell him how pissed I was by what I just heard. This better not be true, because I would make sure he tasted my wrath."I'm sorry, Alpha, but that's what we heard. Nobody knows where exactly she is but from the information we gathered, a lot of people are speculating she was attacked by rogues, and somehow she got rescued by Alpha Damian of the white blood Pack. So we think she's there at the moment." "And why didn't you go to find out yourselves?" I asked, glaring at them. The guard hesitated for a while before he answered. "I'm sorry Alpha, but, the guards at the boundary wouldn't let us through and they also wouldn't deliver our message to their Alpha. So we had no other choice than to return right away. If that had not happened, Alpha, we were ready to see that the mission was car
AXEL."YOU TOOK THE BAIT!"I was in my chambers, staring out the window. The dark night had enveloped the whole Pack and I was worried about the situation at the boundary the day before. I was still worried about what we could be facing after that. I hoped the nightmare didn't return to the Pack once again.Two of my guards were reported dead and nobody had an idea what had happened to them. I sighed before falling back on the bed behind me.I just hoped this did not repeat itself again and we would live in peace like before. And even if it was going to happen, I hoped the perpetrators were reprimanded immediately. I was still thinking about how I would go to my office to attend to the letters that needed to be handled.I felt so weak and needed some sound rest, something that would take my mind off the things that had been happening lately. I was still heavily thinking when the tranquillity was immediately shattered by a very urgent sound that was filled with dread as well."Alpha!"
AXEL.The next day, I wasted no time before embarking on the journey to meet a Seer. I had already planned it out with one of my trusted men to get the name of a good Seer and the address.The information last night before I went to bed and I got everything ready so I could leave immediately once it was morning. Once it was light, I left the Packhiuse, moving through the dense woods and treacherous terrain until I got to the place.My worst fear was the Seer telling me they had no idea what was happening or if they spoke to me in a cryptic way was something I wasn't ready to hear. I Needed a straight shower, something that wouldn't have the gears spinning inside my head.I got to the location after some hours of nonstop travel. It was quite far, but if i could walk back with the same energy with which i had started, i was sure to return to the Pack before it was done. The Seer was an elderly woman and she had a kind of cheer around her.She welcomed me into her place. Something about
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
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
