*DREX*I know that Lain doesn't want my help but deep down he's still my best friend and I'm not abandoning him anytime soon.I decided to keep an eye on Velvet's family. Something about her release was fishy.It looks like the brainwashed elders of the pack were brainwashed or something.I remained in the shadows and one day I saw Velvet giggling like a banshee with one of the elders.What was up with them?I took out my phone and began taking a video of them as Velvet shamelessly leaned in and kissed the old man passionately on the lips.I gagged inwardly as she pulled and the old geyser had the audacity to spank her butt cheek as they went inside.I decided to take a closer look as I watched the windows searching for them. Luckily for me the door was left open and I slipped inside unnoticed.My ears perked up at the mere sound of groans and I followed the sound trying to be as silent as possible.I reached the hallway and slowly opened the door as my eyes widened in shock when I s
*EMBER*I stood before the Axel, my fiery aura casting a warm glow around us. Axel's fur bristled with excitement as he gazed into my mesmerizing eyes, filled with flickering flames."You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on," Axel whispered, his voice filled with awe and admiration.I was thrilled and smiled, my lips curling into a playful grin. "And you, my dear werewolf, are the most intriguing being I have ever encountered. Your wild spirit calls to me in ways I never thought possible."As we stood there, the crackling of the flames mingling with the Axel's low growls, a sense of longing filled the air. I stretched out my hand, my fingers trailing along Axel's fur, sending shivers down his spine.I love how he submits to me."I have never felt this way before," Axel confessed, his eyes locked on mine. "I feel like I could burn for eternity in your presence and never tire of it."I leaned in closer, my lips brushing against his fur as I whispered, "Then let us
*LAIN*The signs were all there along and this time I wasn't going to wait for anyone to ruin my happiness.I was back in pack and this time I was the Alpha and the elders of the pack apologized to me for the ill treatment I had received during the trial.But I've definitely learnt something in this life that only a few people who have your back will stick around and offer you the support that you need otherwise the rest of them are just vultures.I have a mate now.I have a daughter.What more could I ever want?"I want us to settle down, Lain," Axel muttered quietly.He had just mated to Ember and they had become one just like me and Freya Allan.A part of me was still recovering from the shock."You want us to get married?" I asked curiously.Good thing I was alone in my office.He nodded quietly."Yes, let's marry our mates."He had a point.Because Rogue and Freya Allan were still living in Alpha Dax's pack and I had a feeling that he still didn't approve of me as Freya's mate.L
*MISTRESS*I chuckled to myself.It seems that these clowns were planning a fucking wedding and it's the perfect time to attack and show them who's in charge.Galen kept pacing around the room and it seems that his son was only getting worse now that Freya Allan was out of reach.The blood supply he had extracted from her was also finished as well and by the looks of it his son was on the verge of meeting the grim reaper.The doctors can't keep him longer but Galen was too stubborn to even see the truth.He was still in denial.It was a risky move but I decided to approach him in an attempt of offering him some piece of closure even though it was out of my comfort zone.I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder.He looked up meeting my gaze and he looked pissed off.I withdraw my hand."What do you want?" He snarled angrily.I fought the urge to roll my eyes at him.I forced a smile and pouted my lips."Galen darling, I have a simple solution to all your problems."He na
*LAIN*My head was still reeling from the shock and when I tried to call that number again the line wouldn't even go through.I groaned deeply, running my fingers through my hair.Freya Allan was always right about these people and they'll never leave us alone and now that Rogue is in the picture her life is in danger as well.A few days earlier Freya Allan had insisted that I do another DNA test secretly and I was against the idea but eventually I had to give in and when the results finally came back they were positive.Rogue is my flesh and blood and nothing will ever change that.But the revelation of the first DNA test only means that someone tampered with the first test and I have a strong feeling that Velvet had something to do with it.I sat in my office chair debating my next move because I wasn't letting the dark tide ruin my happiness. They did it years ago and I won't let history repeat itself.There was a knock on the door and I snapped out of my thoughts.I had to get ba
*HEROD*Just as expected Lain had fallen into our trap and went ahead to plan the wedding despite what the mistress had left him behind.What happened to that kid was too cruel and her death still hangs over my head because I am filled with guilt."You didn't have to kill that little girl, we could have murdered someone else or even one of her parents."Her screams still filled my ears and on top of that I couldn't get that gruesome scene out of my head.It kept replaying in my head over and over again and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something dark was always lurking in the darkness.Missy put on her bra and I have a strong feeling that Galen is going to give her an earful because she's been avoiding his calls and she hasn't gone back to his house since we left the hospital.It's been two fucking days.When I say fucking days I actually mean that bedroom shit.She pouted her lips."Come on, Herod , it was necessary to kill a little girl so that Lain doesn't get too comfortab
*FREYA*Today was the day of my wedding but I felt more nervous than ever and it wasn't because I was getting cold feet it was rather because of Lain's plan.I couldn't shake off this feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong and we would only endanger many people if we went on with this plan.Aniko had only given birth a few days ago and the pack doctor advised her to get plenty of rest but here she was helping me do my hair and makeup because she couldn't bear the thought of missing my big day.Brandon was stuck babysitting their newborn Hunter.If she only knew the truth.We decided to keep the wedding real and only Lain, Drex and I knew about the plan to lure out the dark tide.I looked in the mirror and couldn't even find the urge to smile and Aniko noticed that something was up.She crossed her arms over her chest."I feel like you're hiding something from me so spill the tea, what is it?" I forced a smile and made it look as natural as possible."I'm just nervous b
*ROGUE*I stayed close to my grandmother Hestia when a lot of pack members surrounded my parents. I guess they were pretty happy that my parents finally ended up together.But I wanted to give them a hug too.Someone tapped me on the shoulder and when I spun around I was stunned to find Tate staring at me.A big smile curved my lips and I wrapped my arms around us.He pulled away and gave me a small smile."I thought you hated me. '' I muttered quietly and crossed my arms over my chest.He had given me the cold shoulder.My grandmother looked between us."A friend of yours honey?" She asked curiously with a mischievous smirk on her face.I shrugged carelessly."I don't know about that grandma Hestia, someone told me that we weren't friends anymore and yet he came looking for me."Tate looked at my grandmother nervously."I'm sorry but can I talk to Rogue alone?" He asked.I turned to look at my grandmother."You guys can talk, just don't go anywhere far because your mom and dad we'll
