JAYDEN'S POV
They were torturing her. We could feel her pain and agony. Every day felt like hell. If we could feel this level of pain here, I could only imagine the pain she was going through.Yet our father forbade us from leaving the pack house. I didn't know how to convince. I didn't even think anything we said could change his mind.Not even the fact that they could kill our mate.He insisted that we wait for their Alpha to confront us.I didn't know what made him think the weak Alpha would have the balls to challenge him but I hoped he was right.I would never forgive him if anything happened to Lorraine. I didn't even know if she would want anything to do with us after everything that happened.We killed her friend and forcefully tried to mark her.“We can't stay in here hoping,” Jordan spoke up. “They could kill her before their so-called Alpha shows us as our father claims. We have to saveLORRAINE'S POVI clutched my cheeks in shock. If anyone had told me that the twins were this evil, I would never have believed, but here I was, experiencing it firsthand.The feeling of heartbreak and betrayal was the worst ever.“How dare you tell such an audacious lie?! Do you think we have the liberty to entertain such expensive jokes?” Jordan snapped at me. “You got yourself a bold liar here. Fearlessly accusing my sons in our presence. In any case, I like to be fair so I will ask her to prove her claims,” Alpha Gordon said. My jaw hung in the air. Proof? Where was I supposed to get proof in the face of danger?Even if I said we were all friends, no one would believe me. Even at that, I would be asked why they would kill their friend. Tears poured down my cheeks as I called on my wolf to tell me what to do. Admit you killed her.“What?” I blurted and all attention focused on me. I lowered m
LORRAINE'S POVOnce upon a time, the idea of sleeping in a cell terrified me, but now, going back to my cell was an utmost relief. My stomach grumbled but my mind was more focused on the physical state of my body now. My once milky skin was gone. It was now replaced with burned chalk black skin. I knew it would recover but it was going to take a while. My stomach grumbled again but I curled on the floor, shutting my eyes in hopes of sleeping. I was no longer kept underground due to the stress of bringing me back up so they put me in a normal cell and appointed a guard to watch. “You, guard the prisoner and make sure no one gives her food or water. If she escapes, be rest assured that the Alpha will have your head.” “Okay.”The familiarity of that made my head shoot up. Just as I suspected, it was Hector. My eyes watered. It felt so good to see him but I was skeptical about talking to hi
LORRAINE'S POVI already gave up. The thought of losing my virginity to a random stranger made my heart ache but there was nothing I could do about it. I was weak and defenseless against him.“That's right. Spread those legs that a good girl that you are,” he drawled and my chest twisted in disgust. I wanted nothing to do with this imbecile.“Hey!” I heard Hector's voice immediately and relief washed through me. He yanked the guard and shoved him to the floor.“What the hell do you think you're doing?” He growled at the guard. “Calm down, man. I just wanted to do a quick one with her. We can take turns, alright,” he offered and Hector's fists clenched.The rage he felt was visible on him and happy tears poured down my cheeks. It was good to see someone willing to fight for me. “Get out of here before I report you to the Alpha. She was brought here to confess her crime not to pleasure your stupid dick!” He barked and the guard raised his hand in surrender.“I'm going alright. There
JAYDEN'S POV“This is not what we agreed, father. You said as soon as the Alpha showed up, we would get her from him so what's the reason we're still here doing nothing while our mate struggles to survive?” I demanded. He didn't even act like I was talking to him. He continued with his laptop like he was alone in the room. “Father, I am talking to you!” I growled. “And the engagement you promised would be called off. Why haven't you done anything about it yet?” He said nothing to that once again and I was beyond pissed. Why was he playing games with us? We did exactly what he asked, and now it was his turn to do his own part of the bargain; he was ignoring us.“Father, I am talking to you!” I shut his laptop in annoyance. I was this close to smashing it against the wall. “You hear when the Alpha said that he would hand her over once he extracts the truth from her so why are you still bothering me?” He snapped. I couldn't believe him. He was waiting for Alpha Taylor to finish wit
HECTOR'S POV“You've killed him!” she exclaimed. I placed my head on his chest, hoping to hear his heartbeat but there was none either. I straightened up immediately, thinking of the course in line to take. This was bad. Very bad. “He's dead, Hector! Why are you just standing here? Do something!” she cried, but what could I do? I killed a man and there was no way to bring him back to life. I wasn't even supposed to be here!What would be my excuse? That I heard her screaming and rushed in here to kill him?The only thing I could do at this moment was hide the body. But before I could make a move, I heard multiple footsteps.“There he is!” They exclaimed. They were going to see the body. There was no way to hide it. They marched into the cell and as expected, paused at the sight of the body. One of them went down to check his pulse and his face went pale immediately. Their accusing gazes immediately landed on Lorraine.“You killed him?!” The Chief guard thundered. “No, she di
While the Nightwalkers were focusing on punishing Hector and Lorraine, the Lycan their next move. Alpha Gordon had secretly arranged a war with allies to wipe out the Nightwalkers. In his defense, they had accused his sons of murder and chose to hide the real culprit. He didn't want to inform the twins until the plans had been finalized. He wanted everything to go perfectly as planned. Now it was all in place, he could give them the news they had been waiting to hear. Jayden and Jordan sat during breakfast, with their own plans of breaking in to free that mate since their father was being oddly suspicious. “Boys, I have good news for you,” he announced but he was met with cold shoulders. He wasn't surprised, considering how he'd constantly ignored their pleas to rescue their mate. They continued eating like he hadn't spoken. “I expected some positive reactions since it was clearly about your mate,” he chuckled and all movements paused. “It is?” Jayden asked suspiciously. “Why
LORRAINE'S POV“We missed you.” The disgust I felt as soon as those words made it to my ears was inexplicable. They were the ones who put me in this situation, to begin with, so why did they assume I would be grateful that they showed up? Jordan walked in and lifted me off the floor. I didn't even have the strength to fight him. My resolve was long gone. They could do whatever they wanted with me. I didn't care anymore. As they walked out of the cell, my stomach twisted at the sight of dead bodies. They were just everywhere. I assumed this was a rescue mission but as we walked past the pile of bodies, I knew it wasn't. I wasn't even sure this had anything to do with me anymore. The twins didn't look bothered in the least that they had wasted so many lives. When I saw the Alpha and Luna's body, my whole being went weak. Even though they had been nothing but cruel to me, I never wished for them to be s
LORRAINE'S POV“I am going to reject you both.” I meant every single word of it. Right from the minute I found out they were my mates, I always had an odd feeling about them but I played it off because I didn't think anything of it. If the moon Goddess gave them to me, it only meant they were mine, right? I forgot that sometimes, the moon Goddess pairs us with the wrong people. “You wouldn't dare,” his grip around me tightened, disregarding the wounds on my body. “You belong to us whether you like it or not, you hear that?” He growled. I let out a wince and he released his grip. “I don't care what you say, Jayden, but K wants you to know this. I decide who I belong to and if I were to choose, it would be Hector!” I hissed. He let out a mocking laugh.“Hector? You mean the one whose head I personally chopped off?” My chest tightened so hard that I felt like I was having a seizu
