Callan POVChaos. Utter Chaos happened before my eyes as all of the men jumped up from the table and began to shift into their wolves. I however took in the scene. Something didn’t sit right with me. This is what Allister wanted. This was how he wanted everyone to react. Drake stood in a defensive stance ready to attack at a moment’s notice. I watched as if in slow motion Allister partially shift. His nails turning into sharp claws that were as sharp as knives accompanied by razor sharp canines. And those eyes. Black bottomless pit eyes. They sent a shiver down my spine. Alpha Allari was the first to attack, which didn’t surprise me. He had always been a hot head and Alpha John had been a friend of his. Allari’s wolf leaped into the air towards Allister but with a swipe of Allister’s claws, Allari was down on the ground unmoving with a gaping wound that was bleeding out from his neck. ‘Get Sera and Maeve in the panic room now!’ I boomed through the mindlink to Rodney. I knew whatev
Seraphina POVI ran as fast as I could up the stairs into my bedroom to grab something I could defend myself with since I was too far into my pregnancy to shift. I knew Lyla or Allister wouldn’t be far behind. I needed to act fast. Rodney and Hank stayed back stopping anything that may get by, Maeve had already started running towards the panic room before I had started ascending the stairs. I burst into my room. The door making a loud bang on the wall as it crashed onto it. Just as I grabbed what I needed and tucked it into my pocket I heard a girlish chuckle behind me. “Well, look who’s cornered,” the undeniable sound of Lyla’s voice, said through a sneer. I turned to see Lyla partially shifted into her wolf with extended claws and elongated canines. Her eyes were wild with anger. I knew why she was here. She was here to kill me. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. I took a defensive stance, one that partially protected my growing stomach from my enemy. Lyl
Seraphina POV I gasped for air while my limbs hand tingles shooting up them. I used all the strengh within me to get up just as Lyla was about to stomp on my face. “Ugh, stay on the fucking ground!” Lyla yelled. It was comical how awful at fighting Lyla was at fighting. No wonder why the pack hadn’t taken her seriously as Luna material. She didn’t have what was needed in a Luna. I felt my stomach begin to cramp, a warning to signal that I needed to stop what I was doing. But I needed to survive. Not only for myself, but for my mate, my baby, and our pack. I wouldn’t die at the hands of someone who was so entranced by power that they lacked the general respect for others. Instead I was dealing with a sociopathatic, narrsasist who only wanted to see themselves at the top at the expense of anyone in their way. I grabbed the wolfsbane infused blade and tucked it into my sleeve before going into a defensive stance. This time I was the one who charged and threw a punch hitting Lyla in
Callan POVI stormed through the gaping hole that was once the front door of the packhouse. My chest heaving from exertion. In front of me was a blood bath. At the base of the stairs Rodney had his hands placed on Hank’s stomach. Upon closer inspection, I noticed Hank’s intestines seeping out between their fingers. Staff lay bloodied, some deceased on the floor in the foyer. It was a bloody mess. I was one of the few people that knew that Rodney and Hank were mates. The pain in Rodney’s eyes as he met mine, were devastating. These were two of the strongest men that I knew besides Drake. Seeing one of them down was one of the hardest things. But I had a more important matter. My mate.‘Made it to the panic room. Maeve is here safe. Shaken up but safe. No Luna.’ His words pierced me through the heart. As I tried to send a mind link our connection had some sort of interference. Somehow I knew she was still alive. It were as if I could still feel the tether that bonded us together, howe
Seraphina POVBEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. I woke up to the sounds of a beeping sound in the distance and the smell of antiseptic. Murmurs and whispers could be heard all around me. But for some reason my eyes couldn’t focus. The damn lght above me was too damn bright. As if someone was reading my mind, the light turned off, allowing a sigh of relief escape me. For moment I had forgotten what had happened. I had forgotten why I would be smelling the distinct smell of a hospital, blood, and death.As my eyes got used to the darkness I was able to see I was in a large medical room that was defifinetly not in my pack. The walls had faded wall paper that was ripped in areas and the equipment in the room looked to be at least 20 years old. Certainly over due for some upgrades. “Where am I?” I croaked out? My hands instinctively went to my stomach, checking on my baby girl. My thoughts then went to my Liam. He had been at friend’s house for the weekend. Thank the Goddess he hadn’t been home w
Seraphina POV I tried to move, but every time I did the stabbing pain in my spine only got worse. That’s when I realized that I couldn’t feel my legs. My hand trembled as I reached behind me to feel a plastic tube that led to my back which was attached to something that was covered by medical tape on my back. Realization dawned on me, and the shiver that ran down my spine shocked me that it didn’t hurt as it traveled through my body. That fucker had them put an epidural in me so I couldn’t move. He was keeping me drugged and lucid so I wouldn’t be able to fight him off. Rage burned through my veins. On one hand, I was truly thankful that my baby girl was okay, but on the other hand, I was fuming that this was my life. We couldn’t catch a break. Especially during this pregnancy. Was it too much to ask to just be a stereotypical werewolf momma-to-be who was spending their days looking on Pinterest, designing her dream nursery that had 17 boards with all different aesthetics? Then ig
Seraphina POVI needed to think quickly. Especially now that I knew Allister was aware that I knew that he had blocked my bond and he was playing some sick game. I tried my damndest to move my body but realized that all my efforts were just exhausting me more and putting me in a more vulnerable position. Then an idea came to me and I knew what I had to do. As if I flipped a switch, I looked at Allister adoringly and said, “Allister, baby, can you please tell them to take this needle out of my back? It’s really hurting. I promise I will listen to the doctors instructions.” I gave him the a slight pout and widened my eyes like dogs did when they were sad. Allister bounced off the wall and came over to me with a sly smile, as if he were in on a secret that no one else in the room knew. Thats when I noticed it, a small trickle of a black substance coming out of his nose. The doctor cleared his throat, noticing the black substance. “Your grace, I’ll go get Dr. Clark for you,” he handed
Callan POV I paced the auditorium stage where we held the pack meetings and felt my rage begin to overwhelm me. Archer was itching to get out and was clawing at the wall that separated us. I ran my fingers through my hair for the umteenth time. I was going crazy without my mate. It had been three days now since she had been gone. Allister had done an excellent job at covering his tracks. We always seemed to be one step behind him. How the fuck he was managing that, I had no fucking idea. I had some of the best trackers in the region on Andrew, Rodney, a nearly healed Hank, and Drake all sat at the chairs before the stage waiting for the next order. “Alpha, you know what packs are calling Allister right?”I had heard the murmurs. They were calling him the Lycan King. Which only would cause problems. I nodded my head. “You know what that means, Alpha.” Hank added. I nodded once more. “But if memory serves me correct from our lore, in order to be deemed king, he would need to have a
