Callan POV I shifted into my wolf form, allowing Archer to take the lead in finding my any scents that didn’t belong to our pack. I needed his sharp senses if we were going to be successful in our mission. We were walking the border between the Shadow Pack and Night Walker Pack. Behind me, Drake and Rodney had shifted into their wolves and readied themselves for whatever may come our way. I trusted these men with my life and knew they would be perfect for this mission. They were the only two that knew about my true intentions with this mission. Successfully find the missing pack members that were on our borders and be rewarded with a lead for my mom and sister whereabouts. My mind went to the other day after Seraphina had left the room, Elner explained that in order to get the location of my mother and sister, I needed to check out the last whereabouts for wolves that had gone missing. Typical Allister. Making everything about him and his needs. Fucking weasel. We had been away fro
Seraphina POV I spent the first day watching the first season of Wednesday on Netflix. I couldn’t help but laugh at the parallels between Maeve and Enid and Wednesday and I. As a joke I couldn’t help myself but call Maeve, Enid after Maeve came into the room wearing a pink sweater, jeans, and fuzzy pink slippers. Me on the other hand, in stark contrast to my friend, was wearing black leggings, with a evergreen long sleeve shirt that I had borrowed, and my hair in two braids. For some reason when I woke today, a feeling of unease began to crawl through me. I tried to shake it off but a little sliver remained. Surprisingly enough, life at the packhouse seemed to be eerily quiet with their Alpha gone. It had been nice the first day not having to do any stupid tasks or errands for Callan; however today I felt restless and itching to do something. The quiet was finally getting to me. As I was pacing in front of the Callan’s bed, Maeve burst into the room with her arms full and threw do
Callan POV ‘Cal where are you?!’ Drake called through the mind-link. ‘Room…..near fron—t…girl…alive..’ I choked out before my vision when black. The sounds of a woman’s high pitched screams with the snarls of wolves seemed to echo in my ears as a searing hot pain radiated throughout my entire abdomen before it began to work its way to my limbs. I felt Archer try to fight whatever was attacking us, but falling short. I heard the sound of a woman cry out and the sound of breaking bone before a silence took over the room. I growled as I felt the searing pain move up my chest and to my neck. Before I could mind link Drake again, I fell back into oblivion.I wasn’t sure how much time past when I opened my eyes for the first time. But when they did I was laying on the ground with tall pine trees surrounding me. Not even the dawn’s light could penetrate through the canopy made of pine needles. Out of the corner of my eye I saw rodney ripping some fabric into a strip. “We need to stop the
Seraphina POV I woke up looking through the eyes of my wolf with the outside edges cloudy with a murky gray color. It took me a moment to remember why I was laying in my wolf form. Then the memory of the past 24 hours came rushing back. 24 HOURS PRIOR:“Move out of the way!” I heard down the hallway accompanied by the sounds of thunderous footsteps. The sounds of panicked voices in the hall grew louder and closer as I tried to figure out what was going on from Maeve. “There’s been an accident,” She said in a daze before looking into my eyes. “Cal…Callan was hurt—” Before she could finish a dirt-covered and blood-splattered Drake walked into the room cradling an unconscious Callan in his arms. A gasp left my lips as I stood off to the side and watched as Drake placed Callan on the bed before five medical staff ran into the room with medical equipment. I felt like I was in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy as the medical staff worked quickly to attach tubes and wires to the Alpha. I now
SERAPHINA POVMine.’ One word changed everything. I wrapped my arms around myself.“What did you just say?” I croaked out. I felt Alya stir beneath my skin.His eyes turned to that of his wolf. “You are mine.” Callan’s tone sounded more profound and filled with emotion. I knew that it was his wolf talking to me.Nervous, I took a step back towards the bathroom, unsure how his wolf would react to anything when Callan was hurt badly.“I…uh... I am not yours,” I stammered. Staring into Callan’s wolf’s eyes was like looking into a black hole. You could get lost in the abyss with no way out.I could tell that my defiance was making his wolf riled up; however, due to the severity of Callan’s injuries, there was only so much movement that he could do.Callan’s head tilted as if he were trying to analyze something about me. He attempted to move, but only was successful in ripping his IV out of his arm. He let out a curse and winced from the pain before passing out. I ran to the hallway and ca
Allister POV***trigger warning: some content deals with consent or lack there of. Reader discretion is advised ***“What do you mean that he got away?!” I screamed at my men who stood before me with their tail in between their legs.“And where the fuck is Claire?” I had sent Claire to the warehouse to act as if she were one of the missing pack members. She had a nack for the theatrics. I knew she wouldn’t let me down.Aaron, one of my new members, avoided my eyes and looked down at the ground. “One of his men was able to get him out before we could get to Claire.”I ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated by my pack members’ incompetence.“That didn’t answer my question. Where the fuck is Claire?!” I bellowed.The three men cowered at my fury. “She……she didn’t…make it, sir.” Leon, one of the new member’s said. “By the time we got to her she was….dismembered.”I looked up to the ceiling and let out a curse. I should have known better than to send rogues to handle Alpha Callan. “You
Callan POV I felt the moment that Sera wasn’t next to me. It was if a string were attached from her to myself. When she moved away my soul felt like it was being pulled in her direction. With my eyes still closed, I heard the faint sound of her footsteps retreating towards her old room. I wasn’t sure why she would need to go in there, then again there were so many moments of time that were blank, making me wonder how long I had been out of it. I slowly opened my eyes to see I was under a sheet and the soft duvet. Attached to my arms and chest were wires and tubes connected to the various monitoring machines that stood next to the bed. I needed out of this bed. I needed to slowly torture and drain Allister of his insignificant life from him. My anger was the fuel I needed to sit up. Everything in my body screamed at me to lie back down. But I needed to get out of this bed. I needed to be closer to Seraphina. I used my hands to help move my legs to the edge of the bed before graspin
POV Seraphina After I took off Callan’s socks and made sure that he was stable sitting on the ledge of the tub, I grabbed eucalyptus Epsom salt and a lavender bubble bath that was sitting in a decorative basket on top of the vanity. I was impressed that for the Alpha that he was that he would have such items in his bathroom. As if reading my mind Callan spoke up, “I had Maeve get me that stuff for you.” I didn’t respond. What could I say to that. It was thoughtful yet confusing my mind. This was the man that killed my mother. This was also a man who made a deal with me that furthered his own agenda. I couldn’t allow myself to look into his actions as anything other than a way to manipulate me into submission. At the same time, I refused to be someone I was not. I wasn’t a monster and it was clear that Callan needed help. A part of me that I didn’t understand needed to help take away Callan’s aches and pains. However I refused to let myself think why that was. Callan watched as I s
