I open my eyes and I’m in the middle field. Everything around it is engulfed in flames, bodies scattered around me. The sound of women and children screaming in the background rings through the air. I try to make my way to my feet, but a shooting pain shoots through my leg, and I fall back to the ground. I look around to see him and my father both fighting with large males, both seem to be having a tough time fighting them. The black silhouette of a large man comes through the flames and makes his way towards me. Kneeling beside me he begins tying my feet together, I begin punching and kicking at him, but he seems to be unfazed as he grabs my ankle and ties my feet together.“You’re mine, you have belonged to me since the day you were born. You were never anything other than a pawn in the Moon Goddesses plan to try and destroy me.” he snaps as he grabs hold of my wrists and ties them. He looks over at Xavier and my father and smirks as he lifts me off the ground and throws me over his
As I finish using the washroom all the lights go out leaving everything in complete darkness. I hear the door slowly open and close as footsteps approach each stall looking in it with a flashlight. The footsteps get closer and finally, they stop outside my stall, the person tries to push open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. Suddenly the person began kicking at the door and it flew open and before me stood a dark figure.Guys help! I send through a mind link as the person grabs me, I try fighting but I feel the sharp sting of something piercing my skin as a burning sensation rush through my veins. I feel Nala disappear as I fall into complete darkness.I feel Rhian's body go limp in my arms as I inject the wolfsbane into the side of her neck. I have to move quickly if I don’t want to get caught. Looking out in the empty hallway I notice an emergency exit at the very end. Picking up Rhian's body I quickly make my way outside of the mall, making my way to my car I hear my Omega and the
“You have got to be the laziest sack of shit I have ever had for a henchman. Nonetheless, did you at least send the rogues to the cabin to stand guard?” I look down at him as begins to stutter.“Ye..yes sir sorry sir. I did, they should be there now.”“Excellent, grab my things now, and let’s go.”The drive along the highway was quiet, no one dared to speak a word, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife and served on a sandwich. The only sound was the voice on the GPS telling us where to go and even that was annoying. With each second that passed by that Rhian wasn’t safely in my arms the tighter the knot grew that was slowly forming in the pit of my stomach.Finally, after a six-hour drive the GPS finally spoke music to our ears, we finally reached the area Rhian is located. We pulled around the back of an old, abandoned building and parked where the chief and three others were waiting for us. One by one everyone jumped out of the cars with looks of anger and ready to fig
“March 13th,” I say as I let out a long sigh. Nine years ago, the Withers Moon pack snuck into our territory and cleaned out my entire pack, I was the only one to survive thanks to my mother. From what I’ve heard what once beautiful busy pack grounds was all reclaimed by nature and the only thing left standing was the stone foundation my pack house once sat. When the Alpha of the pack of murderers found me, he spared my life, but it wasn’t out of remorse or sympathy. It was because there was because people were around, and he wanted a slave. My father was stabbed in the back by someone who was supposed to be his close friend. I said I was an orphan taken in by the Silver Lake Beta, and they continue to believe the same story nine years later. I always have the feeling they would kill me if they knew I was the daughter of the Alpha they killed. There is no reason for them to know who I am. I check the time hurried to my feet and quickly threw on yesterday’s clothes. As I open my door,
“Wow,” I said aloud as the packhouse members were walking in. I look up from the papers I had laid out on the counter and quickly gather them before heading back to my room where I remained for the rest of the day.It’s the day I have been waiting nine long years to come my 18th birthday, the day I gain my wolf and the help from her to make a plan to leave this place. In the days leading up to my birthday, I’ve started to plan my escape but without the help of my wolf, I wouldn’t be able to fulfill anything. I need her wolf abilities to have both the speed and strength to run and jump over the wall that was holding me captive in this territory.Good morning, Rhian happy birthday! I am Nala. I’m your wolf, while you’re not officially eighteen until today the Goddess feels that you need me a bit earlier than that.I am grateful for that I really need your help…. Nala do you smell that? I didn’t really have the brain capacity to finish what I wanted to say to Nala before the smell of fr
“I’m not sure she’s covered in blood and her head was being held underwater when I found her.” I couldn’t get another word out before the nurses started placing a tube down her throat to assist in her breathing. In the quick drive from the packhouse to the hospital, her breathing has become extremely faint. I can feel the pain of the bond slowly dissipating before it even had a chance to completely form. I grab hold of her hand as she’s poked and prodded with needles. There are lines in her arm to replace the blood their taking and what she’s lost, lines giving and taking fluids. Her face is sunken, her rib cage exposed underneath her skin. A line of scars across her chest from what I can only expect was a whip made of silver. When everyone was gone, and all the tests were complete I look at my mate whose body looks like it is ready to just give up.“Please hang on My Love I can’t lose you too.” I kiss the back of her hand as a lone tear slowly begins to fall from the corner of my eye
"My first mate abused me and rejected me and that hurt me. Not much but the feeling of the bond breaking it really hurt. I can’t go thru that again. Can you promise me I won’t be rejected?” I bury my face in my hands. Nala is in the back of my mind bagging me to accept Thellues as our mate, even though I know him he is very much a stranger to me. He is also the Alpha of one of the largest packs in the North I have no idea what he would see in a weak mate like me. This could just all be a ploy to get laid while he’s visiting Blood Moon. His scent continues to dance its way through my nose, and it is making it extremely hard to concentrate. I can feel Thellues softly rubbing my back gently pulling my head into my chest while I’m talking to Nala. I feel myself instantly begin to calm down. Something about being in his arms made me feel safe like they were made to hold me. He saved me from being beaten to death the very least I could do is give him a chance to prove himself. I nuzzle my
I could tell Rhian was getting tired as we walked out of the third clothing shop with a handful of bags, which is the reason I suggested we turn and head back to Withers Moon. She didn’t want to go shopping but I insisted so she could feel spoiled like she deserved to be. I walk around to my door to see Rhian laying across the back seat sleeping soundly. I softly shut the back door and climbed into the front passenger seat.“Drive carefully. I don’t want to disturb her; she did a lot today.” I tell my Beta as he pulls out of our parking place. “Oh, and Beta, don't scratch my car,” I say jokingly. I own the car and let my Beta drive it when we are out on pack business even though our little spree today is not technically pack business. He was the better driver out of the two of us and I didn’t want to take any chances with Rhian l especially with her in her frail state. I turn myself around in my seat and look at Rhian , reaching back and tucking the strand of hair that had fallen ac
