LORRAINE'S POV
I 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 mLORRAINE'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
LORRAINE'S POVI didn't know if it would work but I just had to try. I didn't want to be marked by them. I would rather go rogue, grow old without a mate than be with them. Jayden and Jordan let out painful howls all I did was stare at them. Sure I felt a slight pain from the snapping of the bond but my wolf was in no significant pain. Which was very strange. “What have you done?!” Alpha Gordon growled and when the dagger in his hand came in sight, I panicked. It had a red stone on it, just like the collar he made me wear. I was now certain that something beyond mating was going on here.“What are you doing with a dagger?” My voice cracked, betraying the turmoil I felt inside. He slapped me across the face. “You filthy thing! You have the audacity to reject my sons after all the trouble you caused,” he spat. I didn't know why the rejection affected the twins that much but I was pretty f
JAYDEN'S POV I didn't bother with waiting for them to snap into action, I was beyond confident that my demands would always be met so I turned on my heels and went in the opposite direction of the open doorway of the room. As expected, the footsteps of the two women escorted me down the stairs and all the way to our suite. When Jeremy came to me fuming that Jordan was beginning to act stupid I hadn't known how to react so I had done the only logical thing, go after my twin. "Jayden, I..." Gwen's annoying voice took over the space in my head as she tried to give me an excuse of some sort. "Can you do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut, Gwen? I would ask you to speak when I have absolutely no choice but to listen to your annoying voice." That shut her up pretty quickly. My face pulled up into a smile as silence stretched between us all the way to the suite. "What the fuck is she doing here, Jayden? I take it that you intend to punish her?" Jeremy still sounded terribl
GAZELLE'S POV I either didn't hear right or I heard completely wrong. Did Jordan just say he would have one of the Girlfriends bring dinner up to my room? My eyes moved up to meet his in obvious shock, and I noticed he wasn't even staring at me. He was too busy glaring at Sarah, who looked just about ready to have the earth swallow her up, to pay any attention other than the verbal acknowledgement that left me in shock. "What the hell, Jordan?! Are you fucking this pig? Is that why you care so much about her? I would've thought you had better taste than that, being Jayden's brother and all." Sarah's voice is high pitched and ringing with enough disbelief. Just as much as I felt up until het words registered in my skull. What? What was it with everyone and making disgusting assumptions today? Jordan's gaze finally landed on mine and his glare turned icier. I could totally see how he would be pissed off over the fact that people are now assuming he's having... eww with me.
JORDAN'S POV I was feeling a lot of different emotions, all of them in the negative. Gazelle's presence beside was doing a lot more than I expected it could to keep me calm and collected. The spoon in my hand lifted oh so slowly up into my mouth, carrying with it ice-cream that should be divine, but just tasted like sawdust. "What are you guys doing in here?" Jeremy's voice carried through the semi-open doorway. We both looked up at the sound of his voice, one of us frozen in her place. I glanced at her in a very brief way but she didn't even look back, her eyes were pinned on him as he strolled into the room. "Nothing that should concern you." My voice held a finality that would get anyone else to back off, but this was Jeremy I was speaking about. His face morphed into a huge smile. "Ah. You could've invited me to join in the fun." His eyes flickered between Gazelle and me, a knowing smile on his face. I almost gagged at the suggestion he was making. "Gross. Get your s
GAZELLE'S POV After what happened the previous night, I didn't think that I would want to attend another ball night. The plan was to remain in my bed and see Jenna later in the evening since she wasn't ready to see me this morning. But my little rest was caught short as I was sent a reminder of my punishment. I got off the bed dutifully and changed into a loose fitting outfit. I got my cleaning equipment and began my dirt. I cleaned up my dorm and thankfully, some cleaners had already cleaned the girlfriend's floor so I didn't have to deal with the obnoxious girls. The boys dorm was already cleaned so all I had to do was clean the surroundings and the boyfriend's suite. I took my time to clean because I didn't want them around when I was cleaning. By the time I was done with half of Wolverine, the ball had already begun and wolves were beginning to arrive. I spent one more hour cleaning before heading to the Boyfriends suite. There was no one at home which was a
GAZELLES’S POV When she was talking about two halls, I should have asked her how she knew they were two. The fact that I was in the hall with a crowd of anticipating people and a big projector was at the front. I could see an excited Jenna run into the hall only for it to be slammed immediately. On meeting the empty hall, I could see the confusion and panic on her face. The crowd already started chuckling but I was worried for her. She ran to the door, trying to get it open but it wasn’t working. My heart was drumming in my chest. What were they going to do to her? “Let me out!” She yelled and I decided I was done watching. I was going to go out there and help her but just as I stood, the next thing on the screen made me freeze. There were bees. Like actual bees. It was like they were released from their hive or something. I couldn’t bring myself to move. This was like the most evil thing I had ever seen. As expected, Jenna panicked and began banging heavily against
JEREMY She looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here, and confusion was drawn on her face like a tattoo. "This is a prank." She stated with a shake of her head. "Please, I promise to stay out of everything that relates with the Terrors or the Girlfriends." I almost laughed out loud at the panic in her voice, but I refrained and kept a straight face instead. "I would've thought you had more balls than that, but I guess I was wrong." There was no way I was going to try to make an ally out of someone who was walking, breathing cowardice. If she didn't want any bit of revenge then so be it. "Wait!" She called out to stop me as I walked away from her. I turned back to face her, my eyebrows arched in silent question. "What do you want?" "I already told you what I want, Gwen. You're either brave enough to be a part of it or you're not." My gaze trailed over her from head to toe. "And something tells me you're on the side of not." "How do I know that you're not mislead
JEREMY'S POV I was flipping pissed, my mood was raw on the voltages of anger I had been tapped high on. I was going to fucking kill Jordan. "You couldn't have fucking taken my side? You were okay with watching your psycho brother kill me?" I swore at Jayden. "Maybe if you stopped riling him up, you wouldn't even need saving in the first place." He threw back at me angrily. "I didn't freaking need saving. I just didn't want to take the killing blow." I defended myself. For whatever bullshit reason I really hadn't wanted to kill Jordan. I was hoping that he would come to his senses eventually and all of that would be over, but I guess I was wrong. That bastard is more animal than he is human. "What the hell even happened? I was out for all of ten minutes and next thing you're at each other's throats?" He pushed his hand through his hair in frustration and then turned to face me a second time. "What did you say to him?" "Of course it was me who started it. No way your pre
JEREMY'S POV I couldn't possibly be imagining this. This place was deserted to a very large extent. Something was most definitely up. Every single person that had walked past us or even peeked through their windows at us since we strolled by casually had been either female or child. It was Jayden that finally responded to my comment. "No, it's not just your mind. This is actually a space dominated by anything other than the male wolves." Jordan made a show of sniffing the air. "There's no single scent of a male wolf within a 50 mile radius of this place." "What do you think could be going on?" I asked. This was seriously crazy. There was no way in hell that all of the men in the pack had just decided to step out on the same day. Especially not after the number of traps we'd had to get past on our way here. "I think there was more than one trap left waiting for us." Jayden didn't sound too pleased by that possibility. Not that I could blame him, I wasn't pleased by it ei
JORDAN'S POV "It's quite easy to make demands like that when you're sitting safe behind an office desk, isn't it?" I spat out before I could stop myself. Something about the woman made me want to vomit. She irritated the fuck out of me and I was always fighting the urge to simply wring her throat with my bare hands. "Excuse you?" Her eyes were oozing fire as she trained them on me. "There's just three of us. And yet we're constantly being pitted against a full army of wolves by ourselves." "You're Alphas." She deadpanned like that could justify everything in the world. "Doesn't make us infallible." I bit back. "Maybe if the board could be a little bit more considerate about the kinds of missions we were sent on, we wouldn't have a revenge on our hands now." My tone was becoming a lot more disrespectful with each word that came out of my mouth and I noticed my brother stiffen beside me. One of his palms dropped on my thighs, calming me down without words. As expected,
