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
Killian's POV She was the one. I saw her. I knew it. That daughter of Jezebel had found her way out of the pack’s cell again. How did she do it? I instructed my Beta to secure the pack’s cell with capable warriors, most especially the room where she was locked up. I didn't expect to see her but these ladies were more than satisfying me, so I wasn't too stressed to think about her. An hour flew by, and I knew it was high time I acted. I needed to do something real quick. She could start exposing my secrets now that she's free. My wolf was trying to convince me she was not the one who stood by my doorstep and watched me. Though I wasn't a hundred percent certain, I still needed to confirm my doubts. "Enough, enough," I said to the ladies but they continued. I kicked the one riding me to the ground while I pushed the one sitting on my chest to the bed. I angrily fumed at them as I got up, and walked towards my wardrobe to get dressed. Both of them stood by the door, waiting for me to
Brielle's POV He suddenly pulled me out, flinging me at the walls as I collided with my back on the ground, my head aching severely as a result. He furiously came towards me again, pulling me up and pinning me to the wall. My breaths choked and I yearned for release but his gaze was burning and the expression on his face wasn't smiling. "Why did you escape? How did you?" He asked and began to laugh hysterically. "You have exposed the secret to people, have you not?" He asked, gently closing in on me as he sniffed the breaths coming from my nose. "I didn't. I promise." I struggled to say but he smirked and shot me a deadly glare. This time around, his gaze remained fixed on me as I felt like I was going to be burned anytime from now. "On your knees!" He ordered and released his grip on my neck. As I slowly crashed to my knees, I began to cough loudly, trying to clear my throat. "Silence." He ordered and stooped as he roughly adjusted my jaw, commanding me to stare at him in the
Hades' POV It was almost noon, yet I was still in my room. Today wasn't a bright one for me. After murdering the dude, I'd been moody though that wasn't the specific cause of the moodiness. Brielle's absence gave me a headache every time as different ideas of getting her back flooded into my memory but I didn't know how to tackle them. I contemplated discussing it with my Beta but he might leak the secrets, wouldn't he? My son was right beside me in bed, his eyes shut, his palms still placed on his eyes so I wouldn't get mad and remove them as I had threatened. "Hey boy, come on," I said and nudged him but he didn't respond. As I scrutinized his face, I realized that he had slept off. I sighed deeply and turned to the other direction of the room, trying to pen down my ideas of getting Brielle back. I had sneaked, I had risked my life, and I had sent warriors as spies, just to get her back. I had gotten her back but still, she sneaked out of the room and still tried to confirm who
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
