The air around the dungeon tightened and everyone knew the men who stepped in were not game players.“Wayne,” Olive called.“Come here,” he beckoned on her. She tore through the distance between them and ran into his arms. A groan was heard behind them and gasps echoed around.“Damn, what sort of fire is this? Ugh!” President Kim groaned and tried to extinguish the fire latched unto his expensive suit.“There's a dragon here?” Prince Dakar asked with a raised eyebrow. Alpha Knight turned immediately and placed his hand over President Kim's arm. His shoulder had a thick orange flame licking away his suit and palm as he tried to extinguish it. Ice crept up to his shoulder from where Alpha Knight touched him and swallowed the little fire, freezing then melting away to reveal burnt suit and flesh within.“Let me...” Olive offered and brought over her hand. His face which was hard with unspoken pain relaxed. He was healed.“Are you sure you both haven't sealed your matehood? Damn, the enti
The Alphas waiting by the road jerked in surprise and alertness at the sudden change of climate. It began with a slow rumble of thunder in the sky, then the temperature dropped really low in one instant. An angry rod of white, fiery lightening struck the forest somewhere and a tree fell violently. Then the snow began falling rapidly like the gates withholding them in the sky was beginning to open.The most frightening of all was the sudden burst of flaming heat like a detonated bomb which emerged from the forest, falling trees as it flung out and putting incessant flame on whatever was in its way.“Goddammit!” one of the Alphas screamed as the force threw them several feet away. The van rocked on its wheels but luckily, it didn't get knocked off. However, the side that met the impact was visibly dented.“Someone go tell those two to stop whatever it is they're doing before they destroy their entire pack!” one of the Alphas yelled from where he was crouched down.“Yeah someone go! But
Cynthia prowled angrily and restlessly in the small room of the makeshift tent. An hour had long passed, and the call she put across was not going through. Was the life of the second Alpha of the pack not important? Was he not the BBA's brother?Except... Except if the BBA wanted him dead so no one could contend his position with him. If the BBA died, this young man would be the next Alpha automatically.Could it be they have a rivalry between them and she, Cynthia, was helping to eliminate one of them?“No. That's foolish. He was a part of the BBA's men when I was with him and they didn't seem like they had any tension between them,” she answered her inner thoughts.Shem groaned and moved his neck. He was tied to a chair, unconscious as he was. He was regaining consciousness and Cynthia did not want that.He opened his eyes, his vision blurry and thin.“What's...”“Sleep,” Cynthia ordered darkly. Shem shook his head violently, as if trying to refuse the order. But slowly, the sleep c
“Do you like my mark? Do you still wish it was yours?”Cynthia huffed and looked raggedly at the Alpha.Olive hurried over to Shem and touched him to make sure he was okay. His skin was cold and clammy, and he was deeply unconscious. What had these guys done to him?She willed herself to fix whatever was wrong in his system and a second later, his eyes opened with a gasp. Jonas gripped his riffle cautiously.“Damn, I can breathe fresh air again. That entire tent smells like a rotting bo-dy. Especially that fisheye girl. God forbid,” he blurted out and spat on the ground.“Yep, that's my Shem,” Olive exclaimed and patted him on the shoulder. He looked up in surprise but before he could say a word to Olive, Jonas began to wheel him away.Alpha Knight exhaled, the first sound he had made since they arrived.“Big brother! You came for me,” Shem exclaimed and smiled so brightly at his brother. Alpha Knight scoffed.Jonas untied him and Shem sprang up, kicking the air to flex his muscles.“
Dolly was back in her room, carefully tucked into her bed by Terry who had not left her side since he found her lying in a pool of blood. Alpha Knight had already returned with the others, and they brought back Shem and two captives. But he wouldn't join them in the interrogation, not when Dolly still hadn't woken up.“What if she sleeps until tomorrow, Terry?” Vanessa asked as she walked to him with two cups of coffee. She handed him one and he received it calmly.“I guess you'll have to find me an extra blanket then,” he answered and gulped the coffee down, feeling instantly energized as the bittersweet flavour spread into his system.“Oh wow, you're serious.”Vanessa sat on the sofa across from the bed.Terry tucked Dolly's stray strands behind her ear and clutched her warm hand in his. His heart was still beating rapidly. He was hopeful she'd be fine since her wound was healed. But, what if the damage had already been done before Olive healed her? What if she didn't recover from i
The entire underground hall became eerily quiet as everyone gazed at the empty chair in surprise. Then Olive spoke up.“What just happened?” Alpha Knight grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him protectively.“Well, I'm guessing the one who sent her has rescued her from your clutches. It takes a lot of power to get her away from this place. Can you guess how powerful her master is now? Do you know what is after you, Big Bad Alpha?” Lord Lina jested and smirked.“Secure the pack borders now! Every single border whether in use or not should be sealed and tally the Anti—” Alpha Knight began to bark out an order to his men but Lord Lina cut him short.“Oh please, chill, Alpha Knight. That lady is already outside this pack. Surely, her master will be drained now but whisking her is worth it.”Alpha Knight growled at Lord Lina for interrupting him. But Olive patted his arm to calm him.“Why should we believe anything you say? You're an enemy. Why should we accept your words that I have n
Cynthia's breath caught in her lungs as she felt herself being sucked into a tight tube, squeezing and draining the life out of her. She tried to breathe, tried to shout, tried to even more but her body failed.Then air rushed back into her lungs as she was pulled out of the pipe. She fell to the floor, heaving heavily and panting like she was pursued by death.What had happened all of a sudden? Did the Big Bad Alpha do that to her?She turned on the floor, her entire body in pain. But as she tried to stand, a cold, pointed edge of a metal was placed directly on her head. She froze immediately.“Once again, you fail,” The Baron's pipe-like voice spoke. Cynthia shivered, definitely not from cold that accompanied The Baron's presence.“Master...p-please...I—”The cold tip of the sword pierced the layer of skin, and she gave a pained shout.“Shut up!”She whimpered but sealed her mouth. Gently, the sword was lifted and The Baron retreated a few feet from her.Fresh blood streaked down he
Mufasa stared at Wayne like he was a child. Wayne frowned deeply.“I know you're trying to say something that'll make me look like I was a fool for not learning diligently about the prophecy,” he said.Mufasa moved to a nearby shelf and pulled out a book.“I remember you outrightly threatening to electrify me when I made this book for you. You said you didn't give two damns about a stupid story with a woman you didn't care about.”Wayne eyed the small, black leather bound book in Mufasa's hands. He remembered it vividly.“Well, clearly I care about this woman now so give me the book.” He stretched forth his hand but Mufasa didn't stretch it out. Instead, he was looking at him with an unreadable expression.“How do you feel about this whole thing?” he asked after seconds.“I and going mad and I feel like destroying everything. I want to destroy the prophecy and all the fools who are using it as an excuse to trouble my life. My mate has not had one day of rest since she met me. In fact,
