Hades' POV Killian was still on his knees, chained as a thought dropped to my mind. What if he didn't mind linking his warriors to attack mine here to save him and capture Brielle? What if he sent his warriors to my pack, maybe to disguise as guards, to capture my son? He knew I would save my son at any cost. "I am suspecting him. I swear." I told Brielle as both of us were a bit distant from where Killian my beta and my guard were. "I think I have to send my Beta back to the pack to guard the warriors to locate my son. He must not be killed. I'll kill this dude called Killian, I swear to the moon goddess." I said and Brielle rolled her eyes suggestively at me, imploring me to be calm. "I'll inform him about it. You don't need to say it in front of Killian. He'll feel confident that his plans have worked out." She said. I bulged my eyes as I retorted, "Oh, you also think that way? You also think that he's behind this?" "Sure," she said, slowly nodding her head as she caressed m
Dominic's POV "We're so sorry. We didn't know..." The guards apologized as I sent them back to their spots. They had shone the light towards where we were. "Is there anyone lurking around?" I asked one of them before they all left. He stared at Brielle, stared at the guard, then at Killian before staring back at me. I was becoming pissed off by the attitude he gave but I remained quiet and didn't want to exercise aggression on him. "No one lurking." He said but for some minutes, I assumed he was being forced to say that as though he was under duress by Brielle or the guard or Killian because it certainly wouldn't be me. "I care about your safety. Tell me if anything is going on and you have no power to defeat such," I said and he nodded his head, bowed, and walked out. I turned to face Killian and others and hardly had it been a minute he left then I began to hear blades swishing outside. I heard the groans of my warriors as I quickly hurried to check what was happening. I remi
Hades' POV My eyes scanned around and I knew I had been captured indeed. Each wolf had the silver sprinkle in hand. If I tried to make a move, they would strike me with it. My guard was still right beside me and when I saw one of the wolves coming for him, I tried to defend him but they threatened me with silver while all the rogues grunted which blared this whole place. They seized my guard and he was crushed to his feet as I shifted back to human and tried to save him. Now that I had shifted back to my human, I assumed they would think I was now vulnerable and wouldn't even be able to attack them effectively. Killian came close to the guy after he had been pinned down as some of the rogues quickly crushed me to the ground, matching their feet on me. I couldn't even turn as they were too many on me. They were overpowering me. Blood began to ooze from my arms and it splattered to my face as my gaze connected with Brielle's who was held behind by the guards so she wouldn't come clos
Hades' POV I had removed my mask for a long time now and though I had been advised to put it on again so the aura would return to wherever I was present, I didn't listen. I thought it well to take that action now but what if the moon goddess got angry and decided to strike me with eternal ugliness once more? I didn't want that to be my lot moving forward, so I maintained composure and implored my wolf to do something on time before something would be done to me. I was weak. I was powerless. It was unusual. I rolled down this place and hid behind a tree. I could be there till my wolf would complete my healing. I hadn't died or lost my wolf's energy eternally because I was an Alpha, a strong one. If a regular wolf had attacked the way I was, I was certain such would have lost the wolf completely. I was an Alpha - the masked one, the one even the Alpha King recognized. I had everything in place except for Brielle whom Killian kept claiming and fighting me over with. I began to blame
Brielle's POV I tried my possible best to save Hades but all my efforts were futile. Anyone who saw the scene being displayed would think Killian loved me to have gone that length, including but not limited to losing soldiers, losing his strength, being humiliated, and having to fight rogues so the road to his pack would be clear. But as we got to his pack, he shot me a deadly glare and ordered for the whip. I thought he was joking with me but his warrior quickly got the whip and he collected it. He whipped me suddenly as I began to run away. I escaped from the guards trying to catch me as I ran into his room since that was the only way I could hide from getting whipped. At least, we could do some rough play in the room without getting whipped. He entered the room now and locked the door behind him. He dropped the whip and asked me to come closer but I didn't. He ensured the door was tight as he opened the door and it didn't budge. He removed the keys and dropped them in his pocket
Brielle's POV It was the middle of the night. I had been dragged to a small, stuffy, and smelly room. I peeped through the little window that brought little to no ventilation. I could see the dilapidated restroom there. Why did I have to live in the room close to it? Probably where I was put now was meant to be a restroom, but it collapsed. I contemplated leaving here to find some better place to lay my head, even if I would have to sleep on the field. It was much more convenient than sleeping in this tight room. And then I remembered the last word Killian said to me, about revealing my unfaithfulness to him and the pack in general. His threat seemed valid as he had promised to announce it to the pack by dawn. He didn't want to see me; I had assumed that he would get angry each time he set his eyes on me. He had placed me in this room, far away from his and tight with security outside so I wouldn't come near his room to plead with him not to reveal the secret. If that secret was
Killian's POV My guard had just left. I needed to choose a few ladies to satisfy my pleasure. I wasn't losing interest in Brielle but I needed to teach her a lesson not to ever leave her helper in the lurch. She had been taken to the packed cell. I didn't want her to reveal my secrets as she had threatened. I ensured she remained in the room while I mind-linked the other guards to get down to my room. "The ladies will soon be at the hall," my guard informed now after mind-linking his fellows who were preparing the ladies for the dancing party, "we can start going now." "Don't you think everything has to be ready before I take my leave?" I asked, and he slowly nodded his head, shifting his gaze away from me. "Inform me when everything is set," I instructed and he left. I shut the door and prepared myself for some nice outfit. I didn't need to impress the ladies. They were to impress me. Even if I wore rags, they would still pursue me. I wasn't chasing ladies. Anyone I picked would
Hades' POV Not so long after I was informed about my kid coming towards the hideout, I sighted him at a distance. I waved at him and he waved back. I was glad he could see me effortlessly. I hurried off to meet him lest any rogue stop him from getting to me. As I got to where he was, I lifted him to my hands but his heart was beating fast. I didn't say any words yet. I didn't ask him how he got here but I knew something wasn't right. I chuckled softly to ease the tension but his heart raced faster with terror. "They're coming. Hurry." He finally spoke up as I shifted to my wolf, throwing my head back while my fingers grew into claws. He hunched to my back as I sped off from there. It looked like vampires were around that corner or probably I didn't see them well. All that was paramount at the moment was my son's safety. I eventually got to my pack and shifted back. My son slowly dropped from my back as I held his hands and we marched towards the pack. We got in now as every wolf
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
