CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO | BABY DADDYNATHAN “Who the hell are you and why the fuck are you calling my Boyfriend your love?" Alena yells, emphasizing the word boyfriend. “You just scolded me for cursing but you just did the same thing." Carson points out. Alena rolls her eyes, blatantly ignoring him. She watches Clementina like a Lion ready to pounce on its prey. Clementina comes into the room and moves towards me, ignoring Alena's question. “Baby, you didn't come back to bed last night. I missed you." She says, looking directly at me. Confused, I turn to my back, then my left and my right, trying to find who she is talking to. Had she finally gone crazy and is now talking to ghosts? “Who the hell is she talking to?" I whisper to Carson. “I don't know, but something tells me that you and your mate will not like the answer to that." He whispers back. “Stop ignoring me, baby. What you did yesterday really hurt me. I know what I told you must have been a shock to you, but you didn't h
CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE | BROKEN TRUST NATHAN“I don't know what he was talking about," I respond. “But...but he just asked how my head is, and you also asked the same question earlier." “Half of the things that spill out of Carson's mouth are shit, and I only asked you how your head was because you asked me first. I don't know why I can't stop myself from telling her more lies. It is like I am being controlled by some supernatural force or some shit like that. “Oh, okay." She nods. “How did I get here?" Alena asks. “Do you mean to the hospital or the pack?" I ask back. “Both," She replies. “Well, as for how you got to my pack, your parents brought you here themselves. And as for how you got admitted, you fainted." “Funny thing, I can't remember my parents bringing me here." Her face scrunches up as she tries to recall when she was brought her. Panicking that she may remember something...or everything, I quickly grab her hand, stopping all her actions. “You said I fainted? Wha
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR | WEREWOLF HUNTERSNATHAN The sound of shattering glass and screams filled with pain make me jump into action. I immediately take Alena's hand and drag her off the bed. We both hide on the other side of the bed, away from the door. I watch the door cautiously, anxiously waiting for what will happen next. More screams are heard, and then it is suspiciously quiet. I stay still for a few seconds before getting up and walking towards the door to check what the hell is going on. Alena's grip on my hand stops me from moving. “Please, don't leave me." She pleads. “I am not leaving you, baby, I just want to check what is going on. Just stay here for now, you will be fine." I tell her. I advance towards the door and attempt to open it, but to my shock, it is locked. Who the fuck locked us in. I try to forcefully push it open, but it doesn't bulge. The only option left is to break the damn door down. The sound of multiple feet running stops me from breaking down
FIFTY-FIVE | SAFE HOUSE NATHANWe land on the floor softly. I thought we did, but when I tried running again, the sound of Alena's whimper stops me. I was so caught up in making sure we escape safely that I forgot about Alena. Turning back to her, I crouch down. “Are you hurt?" I ask her softly. She glares at me. “I told you I couldn't jump. I clearly said that I would die if I jump, but you forced me to do so you fucking selfish bastard." She yells, groaning in pain. I wince at her words. “You are not dead are you?" Her eyes turn to slit, and I get scared that the fire in her eyes would burn me to death. “I have a broken leg, a broken rib, and a headache. I can't move, which means that I will definitely be caught and maybe killed or turned into an experiment. So I am dead." She dramatically responds. “Stop fucking exaggerating, we were not so far up for you to get injured that much," I say, rolling my eyes. Her mouth opens, ready to retort, but a gunshot makes her stop. Sh
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX | DISAPPEAREDNATHAN Alena is no longer in the same place I kept her. I look around, wondering if she moved until I remember that she hurt her leg and can't walk. I immediately start panicking. “Alena, where the hell are you?" I dumbly call out. “Where the hell is she," Lucinda asks from behind me. “I can't find her, and I placed her here... right here," I reply, pointing to the chair I placed her in. “Maybe she left and joined the others in the safe house," Carson suggested. I want to tell them that she can't walk because she hurt herself, but I don't. Instead, I let myself believe that she could walk but was pretending just because she wanted me to carry her. “Let us go check then." We all head to the safe house. To my surprise, we go underground. “An underground safe house?" I ask, raising my eyes brows in surprise. “How the hell did you find this place, Carson?" “What can I say, I was a really curious kid... too curious if you ask me." He replies, gri
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN | SUSPECTSNATHAN“What do you fucking mean? How the hell did they disappear?" Carson asks. “We searched every single corner, they are nowhere to be found," Lucinda replies, still panting. “Let me get this straight, Alena, Cara, and Clementina went missing on the same day and at the same time?" Carson asks. “Fuck! How the hell are we going to find my mate? Where do we even start searching from." Caleb covers his face with his hands. Honestly, I feel very sorry for him. He just found his mate and now she is gone. But, I feel even more sorry for myself, I can feel Alena's emotions, and I don't know what to think about what I am feeling. If only I had stayed when she asked me not to leave her, then we would have avoided all this shit.“I don't think the werewolf hunters kidnapped them, I think someone else did," I speak for the first time since the news of the three missing. “Why would you think that?" Caleb desperately asks. I would love to tell them that I ca
CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT | DEAD BODYNATHAN “Stop it! Stop it, Nathan, you are going to kill him." Someone yells. I don't listen to the voice, I am far too gone to stop. Something inside of me snapped when he talked about me cheating on Alena. He knows that it is not his words that are making me beat him up. It is the anger of failing Alena for the second time. The moon goddess gave me another chance to make things right when my mate lost her memories, and once again I fuck everything up. I was only attempting to keep my anger at bay, but Caleb's words broke my self-control. I don't stop punching him until someone pushes us apart. Carson looks at me in disappointment. “You guys are fucking grownups, start acting like one. You don't have to be petty, and neither do you have to use your fist to express yourself. What do you think your subjects would think or say if they were here right now, watching their Beta disrespecting their Alpha, and their Alpha who is supposed to be the bigge
CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE | COMFORTINGNATHAN“We are going to give her a befitting burial. Even though she was a bitch, she was still a member of our pack, and she didn't deserve a death like that." Carson says, staring at all of our faces. As usual, he acts maturely and takes over everything. Lucinda has been crying since the moment the corpse was revealed. Even though she was not close to her, and didn't like her, she still watched her grow up. It must be hard for her too. As for me, I just keep staring into nothing. Honestly, I don't know how to act, or what to say. Growing up, I have always had a problem with expressing my emotions. I bottled them up, and at the end of the day, I end up taking out all my pent-up aggression on someone. I know I should probably not feel this broken up about her death, but I can't help it. Whether I like it or not, the truth is that Clementina made a big impact On my life. We did almost everything together while growing up. She was my best friend an
CHAPTER NINETY | MISSING PIECE ALENAI am so glad that everything is finally over. At one point, I was scared Caleb King would kill Lila before we can stop him. We knew we would defeat him and his followers, but the fear of him hurting Lila and the rest of the pack members held us back. Even though Caleb King is dead, I still feel uneasy. I feel like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. Everything went so smoothly and easily...too smooth if you ask me. It was as if Caleb was willing to let us kill him. It shouldn't have been so easy to kill him. I asked Nathan to give me some time to think because one thing kept bothering my mind. Ben said someone already bought me before I was born, and the same person also bought Lila. Has the person given up on having us? The words Caleb King said to me while I was brutally stabbing him kept replaying in my head. He said, “Your enemies are always closer than you think." This means that whoever was helping him is a member of this pack.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE | HAPPY ENDING? NATHANWe all watch Carson try to stab Caleb King with a needle I'm guessing is already drugged. Somehow, Caleb turns at the right time and holds Carson's hands. Shit, we are all so screwed. Carson quickly recovers from his shock and hits Caleb King in the face. “We need to help him," Lucinda screams, already running towards them. To our surprise, most of the rogues don't try to stop us they pave the way for us. I see we all have a common enemy. Caleb King shoots Carson in the leg. Fuck! We didn't even know the psycho has a fucking gun. He points the gun towards us, swinging it left and right. “Don't come closer. Don't you dare, it takes me nothing to kill every one of you within seconds." “Where are my guards? Does fucking traitors. I should have sold you bastards." He screams at the rogues who cower in fear. I see what is going on. They are not willingly working for him, he has something on them. He roughly picks Lila's body off the
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT | THE PLAN ALENAWe have been waiting for the guys to come back for almost five minutes. They were never supposed to take this long. I don't know why they were not back yet. If I hadn't destroyed my and Nathan's mate's bond with humans drug, then I would have been able to tell if he is in danger or not. “Don't you guys think the boys are taking too long? They were only supposed to check if Fallssy is alive and find information from him." I ask Queen Tess and Lucinda. “They will be fine, Alena. Just calm down." Lucinda assures me. “But...what if, I don't know. What if this is a sort of setup or something?" “They will be fine princess." Queen Tess says. I nod my head at her, not knowing how to respond. I have been feeling weird around them since the moment I discovered that they are my real parents. I just can't seem to stomach the fact that I have been living a life built on lies. All my life, I thought I was Alena King, and then suddenly, I am told I am s
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN | TRACKED NATHAN“Have you found anything yet?" I desperately ask Carson. “If I had found something, I would have fucking told you. Get the fuck off my back you piece of shit." Carson hisses. I don't blame him for talking to me that way, neither am I angry. If I were in his situation, I would have probably killed someone in frustration. We have been trying to track the bracelet down since yesterday afternoon. We haven't found anything. Since Carson is the only one that can handle a computer well enough to track something down, he had to stay up all night, while the others went to sleep. Of course, I stayed up with him...for about one hour. I got tired of watching him type meaningless shit and stare at kids' doodles, so I fell asleep. Carson was not one bit impressed with our attitude. He has been cranky and giving us an attitude since we joined him today. It isn't helping that I keep asking him if he has found anything every ten minutes. “I don't get this
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX | FURIOUS...SAD...VIOLATED NATHAN Alena was also a fucking victim. Only the goddess knows what she went through in Caleb King's hands. This news can break her. “How am I fucking sure that everything you just told me is the fucking truth?" I whisper. “Have I ever lied to you? What would I or the leaders of the Black Shadow Pack gain from deceiving you? We both know that the resemblance between Alena and Queen Tess can't be ignored." I nod my head and silently leave the office, not saying anything. The only thing I am able to think about is the pain Alena must have gone through. She was never the bad guy, Caleb King was only using her, right from the fucking beginning. It is then that I remember Alena telling me something about her mother teaching her how to please men. Was that why they taught her that? So that she would be sold when she gets older. I am headed back to the pack hall to call my mate when I run into my mate. “Hey. The party was getting bori
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE | THE TRUTH ABOUT ALENA KINGNATHAN “Leave," I order them. “Please, Nathan, hear us out." Queen Tess begs, her eyes watering. “You want me to hear you out? After how many years? You accused my father of kidnapping a daughter that never existed in the first place. Then, you helped Caleb King in kidnapping my mother and younger sister, raided our pack, and cut all fucking ties with us. You want me to hear you out, did you listen to what my dad had to say?" I whisper-yell. “We never helped Caleb King in kidnapping your Mother or Sister." Alpha Kade frowns. “You said you will do something we all will regret if we don't release your daughter in three days. Three days later, my mother and sister were nowhere to be found. That could not have been a fucking coincidence." Ben gives me a look that screams, ‘Stop acting like a petty bitch and let them talk.' In response, I give him the middle finger. “Look, I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, I had nothing to d
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR | THE BLACK SHADOW PACKNATHANI invited some people over, there is someone you have to meet. “You said you just found out who my mate really is. I am not interested in meeting anyone, I just want to know the information you got about my mate." I respond. “It will make a lot more sense when they get here, just calm down. Alena is not who we think she is." Ben replies, slowly walking away from us. Oh, my goddess! What the fuck has Alena done again? If she killed someone else or has been lying to me about cutting off all the ties she has with her father, then I will have no choice but to kill her. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking. Nervously, I wait for Ben and the so-called guests, while Carson goes off to get properly dressed. Apparently, the new guests might come with his mate or even be his mate, he wants her to fall in love with him immediately. After waiting for half an hour, I become tired and bored. Seems like the guests are running fucking late.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE | THE RETURN OF DELTA BENJAMINNATHAN“I can't believe you made them kick us out." Alena hisses, hitting me on the shoulder. “It was fucking worth it. The look of embarrassment on your face made me ignore the anger of the Doctor disrespecting his Alpha." I laugh. Alena looks around, and unintentionally starts fidgeting. The stares she is getting are making her uncomfortable. After our...umm...adventure in the hospital room yesterday, the Doctor kicked us out of the hospital and promised not to let us in unless it is very urgent. I would have been furious if not for Alena's reaction. We went back to our room after and continued with no interruptions. We spent the rest of the day in there and didn't come out till the evening of the next day. I think I have forgiven her, but my subjects hate her. I got a call from Gamma Ralph first thing this morning, informing me of Lucinda and Delta Benjamin's arrival. We decided to hold a welcome-back party for the Delta
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO | POURING EVERYTHING OUTALENAMy pulse hammers against my skin as Nathan moves to the door and closes it while staring at me with his piercing eyes. “Tell me, babe, how do you feel after everything you have done?" He inquires. I know my answer should be that I feel guilty and horrible, but the only thing I am feeling right now is extremely turned on. “I asked you a fucking question." Fuck! If I thought I was wet before, I am definitely drenched now. I don't think the panties I'm wearing would ever dry after this. “I...I...don't fucking know." I barely manage to get my words out. Nathan scoffs and shakes his head, walking closer to me. Nervously and excitedly, I get off the hospital bed, standing a few steps away from him. “You have been helping your dad right? Do you know how many werewolves lost their family members for something they know nothing about? Do you know how many he and she wolves lost their mate? All because of being a daddy girl?" He mocks ag
