I stood up to leave for my room but I was suddenly forced to a halt by his growl.“Where do you think you are going?” He questioned, angrily. I let out a sigh as I crossed my arms.“To my room” I shrugged but then, he suddenly began to approach me. I was scared as I remembered what had happened that night. I tried to run but he was quick to hold me and refrain me from running.“More trouble!” Nala complained.He pinned me against the wall and stared at me with so much rage burning in his eyes.“What have you done to me?” He questioned, his voice sounding thicker than ever and the color of his pupils suddenly changing.I tried to talk but I was paralyzed with fear. I was scared of saying a word as he looked like he was going to kill me that very minute. “Haven’t you ruined my life enough? You and your vicious father took everything that matters from me. Is that not enough? Now, you have successfully broken the long-time bond I have with my friends all because of your actions!” He gro
Although his words bruised my heart, I was glad nothing had happened between us.Not worthy to grace his bed? I scoffed as I shook my head in disbelief.What could they have possibly been discussing? I wondered but I shrugged as I decided to let it be. it was none of my business anyway. His words however kept ringing in my ear over and over again. What could Father had done to him? I wondered as he really seemed hurt. Had Father killed any of his loved ones?Had he killed his parents just like he had killed Salvador’s? No. I shook my head. I refused to believe it and instead, decided to eat my meal. Nala on the other had was quiet and although her choice of words wasn’t always what I liked; I didn’t like her silence in discussions like that.“What do you think? What could Father have done to him?” I asked her. For a moment, she was silent. Was she upset with me? I let out a sigh and continued to eat. My day had started on a rough note and I was certain the day was going to end like th
Antonella looked so innocent and it made me feel like she was being sincere. I knew however that it was all a game. She was trying so hard to get me to believe her lies but it was not going to work. My wolf however had other ideas as he continued to defend her even when the truth was glaring. “She is innocent!” My wolf grunted. I was not interested in listening to him however. I could not trust a descendant of the bastard that had killed my parents when I was just a little boy. I could not take any chances.“Freya came to your pack yesterday” She repeated.I was shocked to say the least as that was not what I had expected her to say.“What do you mean?” I questioned as I wanted to be sure I had heard her right.“Freya came. She came to your pack” She repeated, confirming her initial claim. I took few steps away from her. I let out a loud laughter as I could not believe what she had said. It could be in her head.“I believe you are not in your proper state of mind. Perhaps, you need
DEMONTES' POV"Do not touch me woman!"Freya must have been shocked by my growl because her hand didn't go below my waist anymore."You don't need to be so grumpy," she muttered. "I have already promised you that I would find your daughter."I turned and glared at her. Did she think I was joking? My last living heir had been missing and the only thing she could think about was sex?"I mean it," Freya muttered. "I would find her."I sighed and turned to face the other side of the bed. I had always known Antonella was a rebel. She hated me and my lover, Freya, but I had never expected that she would be bold enough to run away from my pack. What if she got into trouble with the enemy?As the thought flew into my head, I jumped from the bed and walked to the drawer."Are you okay, my king?" Freya asked, her eyes fixed on me.I ignored her and rummaged through the drawer in search of something to wear. I was done with sitting down and waiting for my guards to bring me the same old news th
DEMONTES' POVIt was not everyday that the Alpha of one of the most respected packs in the world got kidnapped by a sixteen year old.I could see the looks of uncertainty in the eyes of the guards as the boy dragged me into the dark alley and I barely smiled in a bid to ease their nerves.I could have snapped his neck without him even knowing what was happening if I wanted to, but for some reason, I didn't. I wanted to hear him out. I wanted to know what he had to say.Under the cover of darkness, he led me on, making sure to keep the sharp blade close to my neck to dissuade any attempt of running away from my mind.We had covered a great distance in the alley and I was getting bored playing the abduction game with him, so I broke free from his grip."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I growled.The only light in the alley was the one coming from my glowing red eyes and even in the darkness, he didn't back away."Don't bother running," I warned. "I would tear you apart faster
DEMONTES' POVThe pack square was filled to the brim with werewolves of the pack waiting to hear my announcement.As I walked in, I caught sight of my chief guard, Diego, with two other guards. They were having an intense conversation and immediately they saw me, they ended their little meeting. Diego grunted some inaudible commands at them and they nodded and started off, while he walked up to me."Alpha Demontes," He said and bowed slightly.I nodded in acknowledgement of his greeting and led him away from the watchful eyes of the rest of the pack. Once we were out of hearing distance, I asked him the question that had been bothering me for a long time."Any news about my daughter yet?" Diego heaved a deep breath before shaking his head in the negative. "My men have not yet been able to pick up her scent," He replied. "She must have gone very far." I gritted my teeth, annoyed by the news and Diego waited on for my next command."How did you let this happen?" I asked, taking him b
DEMONTES' POVI stared at the witch as her words resounded over and over again in my ears."I know where your daughter is..."She had to be joking. And the very fact that she still had time for jokes when I was in such a critical situation irked me. Why was she being so difficult?I ignored her and started walking away from the pack square but she held me back and dragged me closer to herself."I said I know where Antonella is!" She repeated.This time, she didn't sound like she was joking. Her voice was cool, yet unsettling. Her eyes burned bright as they stared into mine and something within me told me that she actually meant the words she said this time."Freya," I started. "We do not have the time to keep going back and forth. You know how crucial times are now, especially after I have plundered other packs. My daughter would be in a lot of trouble if some other Alpha gets to her so if you know anything, please tell me now.""That is what I have been trying to tell you all along,"
12 HOURS EARLIER...SALVADOR'S POVMartinez didn't seem to be happy about my plan to send a letter to the rogues and the frown on his face said it."You have a problem with my decision?" I asked."Not at all," He muttered and turned around, ready to leave."So I thought." I nodded and dismissed him at once and he walked out while my Beta, Dan strolled in.He stared at the piece of paper on the table before me and our eyes met briefly."I've decided to call a meeting with all the Alphas in the West," I explained to him. "I'm drafting the letters I want to send them now.""A meeting?" He stared at me. "Why are we calling a meeting with them?""I want everyone to be present," I replied, standing up. "I want all the Alphas in the West to be present when I kill the bastard.""The bastard?" Dan stared at me. "Who are we killing this time, my Alpha? Fill me in on what I've missed."I frowned at his ignorance of the situation."Alpha Demontes of course," I grunted finally. "He would be at the
