Killian's POVAs I sat down in my room, the thoughts of my loss sinking in and the brutal injuries I had sustained from trying to get to Brielle, a thought dropped to my mind and that was about mainly tracing the reasons of why I wasn't able to get Brielle in the first place.My wolf informed me about several reasons but I wasn't patient enough to outline his suggestions. I rather chose my belief and assumed it was true.I called to my Beta now that he had been freed and he slowly bowed as he got in. He stood right in front of me while I rose to my feet and sat on my bed."What do you think is the real cause for being weak, compared to Hades?" I asked, concern etched on my face."You're not weak, Alpha." He retorted and forced a smile to his chin. I knew he was trying to make me feel better and feel more of myself but I wasn't feeling motivated at this point."Then what am I? I've not been able to catch up with Hades since the last time he escaped. I've pursued him well in times past
Killian's POVI almost drew my signature in one of those boxes provided when I reread the terms and cifmidions. I beckoned to my Beta who came over, and shook his head in disapproval at the statement written there.It was about him being the Alpha of our pack when we unite, and me being the second Beta while his own Beta would be the first Beta. Actually, two drivers wouldn't drive a car, so there can't be two Alphas ruling a pack. Why did I consent to this in the first place?I heaved a deep sigh as I called his attention to the statement and there was guilt written all over his face. He also knew I wouldn't agree with that term and condition but he could have assumed that I would skip and just sign in all the spaces provided."I can't do this, I'm sorry," I said and canceled all the signatures drawn with the pen. I returned it to him as his guards blazed with fury, trying to control themselves. They felt I could have left the already drawn signature as-is. But it was better to cance
Hades' POVToday made it a month ago that I was able to save Brielle from the deadly hands of Killian. Even the first four letters of his name suggested his disposition.We were in bed and I slowly opened my eyes as I saw her sneak out, not heading out of the room but walking towards my private kitchen. She needed to make some cool breakfast for me in bed.My cheeks flushed as I awaited her actions this morning. I shut my eyes again and snapped them open when she nudged me. There was a tray containing glass cups of tea and many other beverages. She told me to sit up and take them in as they would boost my energy for the day.I wondered what was especial about this day, but I maintained composure and downed the content before I remembered that I was supposed to ask her to drink with me."Today is the day I'll reclaim you as my Luna," I informed her, making my decision instantly. While we pulled ourselves into a light hug, I sank into my Beta's mind link, informing him about the update.
Killian's POVAs we entered the building, I realized it was a well furnished one. But a burning question dropped in my mind - why was this great building in the middle of the woods? Who built them? Did the builders have to walk miles before doing their daily job?But the rumination was short-lived as Jade nudged me and I came back to reverie. I sighted the magician and he had all these chains bound to his neck with some big books on the shelves and across the living room, and the rest of his rooms.I saw lanterns and some olden equipments places at the corridor and the hallway. The fact remained true - he was trying to hide his identity from any nearby person. The front of his house wasn't painted or furnished well but the inside spoke volumes.Certainly, he didn't want any rogue to locate the building but rogues weren't the ones to mind a great building or a dilapidated one. I wasn't the only one thinking this way, as Jade nudged me again and spoke a few words to my ears."You can se
Killian's POVI could see the fury in his eyes. He rose to his feet, brimming with anger as he slowly lifted the body of his guard, taking him out of the room as blood stained the floor. It seemed like something he expected."Why'd you do that?" The Alpha asked, his voice shaking with fear."Why'd I do what? Let's go." I whispered and got to my feet. As I pushed the door open, the magician returned to the room and blocked my way. He came in with many more guards. I knew they would be right outside.Didn't he care so much about the death of his guard that he couldn't shed a tear? All he just did was show the anger in his eyes, lift the body to dump it."Seize them," the magician said, "beat them mercilessly." And then he ascended his regal seat. As I realized that three guards were coming towards me and the door was on the latch, I pushed them all away, grabbing the doorknob as the magician stretched forth his hands towards me. I could feel a retard in my wolf, as I relented from tryin
Killian's POV"I understand that you're mad at me for killing the guard but I can always offer you a soul in return," I said, feeling the pain all over my body as my wolf refused to heal me up."I don't want anyone else." He said, his voice shaking with emotion. I was brought aback by the emotional tone in his voice as I focused better on the words he'd speak further."Do you know who the guard is, to me?" He asked."I-I don't know...I mean, how am I to know?" I asked, trying to lock gazes with him with my swollen eyes."Are you asking me that damn question?!" He yelled angrily at me, sighing deeply while he ordered his warriors to push me to my knees.I remained on my knees, bowing to him as he narrated who the guard was, to him, and the havoc I had caused by murdering him."What if I tell you that I suspected that you were going to do that?" He asked, his eyes blazing with fury."Since you know that, why didn't..." I asked but he shouted me down."Ensure the wolf bane is right with
Killian's POVI initially assumed the guards were dumb - couldn't speak. They had never responded to any of my words. We're they trying to neglect me or they didn't even have the ability to speak?When they responded this time around, I was very shocked. I continued with my question and they continued to answer them all."I don't even understand how some people can be so stupid to beat up an Alpha like myself. Why can't some people consider the future?" I asked, though not directing the questions at them."Since the future isn't now, it's not to be considered. And again, we don't believe in anyone coming back to successfully exert his revenge on us. We are more than strong and capable to take down anyone that gets in here." He replied with a chuckle as the rest of the guards burst into laughter.Their laughter was infectious but at this time around, nothing was funny to me. I badly wanted to be released. Since they were responding to my questions, I assumed they were done with the flo
Killian's POV"I understand. Thank you." I said and made to leave when I remembered that Jade was still chained and we wouldn't leave together. If I acted like I earlier died, denying him and placing him in the hands of his enemies, I would still be justified.But I wasn't that kind of person. I slowly sat back and questioned the magician what Jade had done to remain tied when I, who killed, had been released."What did he do to you?" I asked, my tone etched with concern."Be on your way," he said, his eyes glinting with dominance, "and don't let me repeat myself.""Do you know him earlier? At least give me some answers. Let me know if his sins would make him stay back here while I bask in my glory. Can I get a response please?""I said, leave! Do you want to join him?" He furiously asked.I walked over to Jade and sat right beside him, asking while I blinked my eyes repeatedly, like though I was doing something I had to do, not that I wanted to do."What did you do?" I asked."He ask
Hades' POVWe had returned to our room even before the party was rounded off. I appointed several maids to cater for her while they helped her move her luggage towards her private district for the pack which was now termed as the Luna district.She was over the moon for the development, moving into her district that was more than a chamber. She pulled me into a tight hug and each night, I would go visit her to see how she's faring, and how her new district was treating her.One sunny afternoon, our paths crossed in the field but one of her maids requested for her attention."Attend to your maid first," I told her and a smile appeared across her chin.Before I could turn back, Dylan walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged him compassionately, grateful to have crossed his path in my journey of saving Brielle, and claiming her - fighting for my love, my mate."How has been the rule - the wolves under you?" I asked as he forced a smile across his chin before he retorted,
Brielle's POVIt was the dead of the night and Hades was asleep already. The pack was peaceful as expected. I slowly sat up in bed, yawning to remain conscious.I sat on the chair and pulled out the book I was earlier studying. I flipped the pages open until I felt some hands wrapping around me. I shifted my gaze and turned back. It was Hades."You scared me," I said, pouting my lips.His eyes were still red from lack of sleep as he said, "come to bed. Let's sleep. We'll wake up tomorrow and continue our work.""I'll join you soon." I said, "don't worry about me. Just reading a few pages, promise.""No." He retorted and pulled me towards himself. He collected the book from me and flung it back to the box.I had to sleep in bed till dawn as he rested his head below my chest while my legs were wrapped around his.It was morning and I suddenly noticed I was the only one in bed. The restroom door suddenly opened and he showed up."Brielle. You're up!" He screamed excitedly, scooting his f
Hades' POVIt was time for me to return to my pack again. I had spent two days in the forest already. The moon goddess had called me to the hunt trip to face her for some redemption for the sins I've committed, the blood on my hands and some other atrocities.She said many things about Brielle but there was a part she didn't mention yet, claiming Brielle would reveal it to me anytime later, but I shouldn't be the one to ask.The pack cheered with applause and the Beta rushed to greet me as soon as I arrived.He helped me with the luggage with me, as I almost ran into the security men. I wanted to walk so quickly so no one would stop me for any reason. For today, I was treated like a celebrity, a nice one."The wolves want to throw up a party to welcome you back to the pack. Shall..." He asked, but I interrupted, "let them throw the party."He happily left me after dropping the luggage in my room. I could see how Brielle rolled her eyes at him, but I guessed she wasn't just in the mood
Brielle's POVHades had left for the hunting trip he claimed he was going to. I was in the room alone now, meditating on some certain books when the door creaked open. It reminded me that I had left it slightly ajar.I turned back to check who was there. I was shocked to see his Beta, what did he want from me? He knew Hades had gone but what did he want?"How may I help you?" I asked, as he glared at me, then he shut the door and leaned against it."I'm the acting Alpha of the pack for a few days now. Regard me as that." He said and walked towards the kitchen. He grabbed some fruits from the fridge and took some other diets, then came to the room to devour them."What are you doing?" I asked."If you're not blind," he replied, "I am eating and once I am done eating, I'll eat another thing.""Not from the fridge or the kitchen!" I yelled."Certainly not." He retorted.My gaze reduced as I asked, "how do you mean then?""When I'm done eating, just wait and watch me do my stuff. I am the
Hades' POVSince I had informed Brielle about my departure from the pack for a day or two or at most, three, I deemed it fit to announce it to the pack as well.I contacted my wolf to connect to my Beta's, as I needed him to be in my room very soon. Like though my Beta had preplanned to be in my room, he rang the doorbell quickly. I rushed to get it open, welcoming him in while instructing Brielle to cover her body with the duvet."Alpha, you called me." He said."Yes." I replied and we moved to the kitchen to discuss so Brielle wouldn't hear us out or have an inkling about what our discussion was about. I also needed to ask him a few questions different from the announcement to the pack about my departure."What about Killian? Have you guys buried him?" I asked."We threw his body in the dungeon," he replied, "but he really died. He was brutalized. I stabbed him in the heart thrice before dumping his body in the dungeon, to be certain he really died."I heaved a deep sigh of relief
Hades' POVThe time had come already. I had had several chances to slit his throat and end his life right there but I considering beating him to death as the best option. It was the best revenge ever - served cold."What'd you wanna do now?" He asked as I pinned him to the ground. I directed the knife towards his eyes as he shivered slightly, trying to maintain composure."If you tempt me..." I stuttered. Thinking he would endear me to go ahead, I waited for his response."I am not tempting you, Hades." He said and breathed heavily as I dropped the knife to the ground.Brielle was standing at a close distance to us, shivering slightly as tears pricked around the corners of her eyes. She could no longer withstand him being tortured, and again, there was nothing she could do to it.If she didn't escape from my pack to seek shelter from him, she wouldn't have met him in the first place. Why should she be emotional now?"I thought you're going to be too stubborn to endear me to gouge out
Hades' POVI had just completed a serious session of sex with Brielle and she was looking a bit pale, I had to leave her for sometime.She rushed to the restroom and locked the door before I could get in. She knew I could be aroused, merely by how hee ass wiggled when she moved.I laid in bed, having some rest from the tasks I had undergone earlier, when a message got to my mind. My wolf informed me about another wolf trying to access my mind link to convey an important message.When I connected with the message, it was one of the rogues that was torturing Killian. They had been redeemed and I shouldn't call them rogues anymore but for the fact that I wanted everyone to point to rogues as the killer of Killian, I would keep calling them rogues."I'm sorry. We're sorry in general," he started as I could guess what had happened already."He slipped from your hands?" I asked, waiting to get the expected response."No," he replied and I heaved a deep sigh of relief, "someone broke through
Hades' POVI had sensed he was awake while we yet spoke. I deliberately refrained myself from speaking with the pack doctor outside his chamber. I wanted him to know everything that would be done to him and the main reason why he was brought to the pack healer. Fine, I didn't ask the rogues to bring him to the pack healer but they knew what I wanted.They had heard of he has made me go through, how unfairly he had treated Brielle and wanted him to suffer before closing his eyes slowly and giving up the ghost. I wasn't going to change my mind, not for the murder of Killian."Let me go. Now." He furiously said as he pushed me to the ground while I fell with a big thud. He ran towards the rear direction of the pack, hoping to escape by climbing the fence but my wolf eyes for enraged as my wolf speedily ran after him, catching up with him before he could run away.The rogues soon joined me and the knife was with them. I retrieved it and stabbed his feet with it. I wanted to see how he wa
Killian's POVI had been captured by them. The charm didn't work out eventually. If only I knew, I could have killed the magician. He claimed to be an expert at black magic, yet his experiment didn't even work out at all."I won't touch you," Hades said as he walked into the torture room again where I had been chained to a pole, "but I'll ensure they beat the hell out of you.""Haven't they done enough?" I asked, my voice barely audible."You can ask such question?" He asked, laughing hard as possible, mocking me to the bones."I am not sorry. If you are not cowardice enough, come here and kill me yourself. Don't ask anyone to do that, stupid coward." I said, not relenting. He needed to be dealt with. Whether I was bound or not, I would always defend my rights."And if you're not going to kill me, then fucking unchain me and let me get the hell out of your stupid pack!" I yelled at him.Why was he being so brutal? Since I wouldn't ever get to kiss Brielle or be her best friend and mat
