Killian's POV It was another day and my Beta was around the corners of my room, sensing I had something up my sleeve. I needed to prepare at least five hundred warriors from my pack to attack Hades' pack. That was about seventy percent of my pack but I didn't mind. As long as I get Brielle, I don't mind losing warriors. Maybe not anymore. "What are you trying to do?" My Beta stopped to ask, his arms folded across his chest. For some minutes, I didn't say a word as I thought about what would serve him well for trying to monitor the Alpha of the pack. "Back off, so you won't regret it," I said and walked away. As I entered a mb empty room to think about how I was going to go about the attack and the preparation, I saw him seated there, waiting for me. I didn't need to ask if he was a vampire or a Spirit. There were many ways to get inside the room. He could have run and entered here through other doors. That must be the case. "Don't get in my way. You will be punished for it. I've t
Killian's POV I needed a lot of ideas on how I was going to intrude into Hades' pack and seize Brielle. Even if I wouldn't be able to seize Brielle, I would work for the pack till I'd have a great relationship with her. Kidnapping her by then wouldn't be as difficult as it was, now. My warriors seemed concerned about my expression as they questioned me to know what was wrong with me. They pulled me to themselves and I sat on the mere ground in the center of them all while we brainstormed ideas on how to intrude on his pack Eventually, I was the one that suggested the idea we were going to harness. That's why I didn't want them to think of an idea for me at first. "What about I dress like those rogues, join them, and get into the pack to help with the cement being used to construct the bridge?" I asked. "That's a nice idea. I'm wowed," one said and gulped before resuming the speech, "but how do we get the same garment as theirs." "One of you must be wearing something that looks
Killian's POV I maintained composure as I stood right in front of Hades, my sworn enemy. I could see the desire burning in his heart, to destroy me immediately. His me were right behind him, waiting for permission before striking. "Come on. Do it. Coward." I puffed, knowing fully well he'd be very foolish to spare my life again. "When next I see you close to my pack," he said, his tone as menacingly silent as ever, "I'll kill you with my bare hands. Now leave." Using his Alpha tone, he ordered again, "Leave. Now!" The Alpha tone wasn't working on me but since my men had fled for their lives and must have returned to my pack, I deemed it fit to leave as well but it would be humiliating to do so. "I have one request to make." I plainly said as he sighed deeply and responded, "Go ahead and do quick. No time should be wasted on a scumbag." "Just kill me. Murder me right here and let's end it all. We both know I'm looking for Brielle and she's right there with you. You won't let me
Brielle's POV The moon goddess had shown me great favor by retracing my steps back to Hades' pack. He had made many arrangements already, including but not limited to organizing a room that was close to his, where many maids resided to work for me. He had locked me up with chains bound to the bed for many hours now and my fingers hurt. Though I wanted to complain, but I knew it was for the best. If I didn't explore what was lurking around the pack dungeon many days back, he wouldn't have undergone those series of torture by Killian. I could still sniff Killian's scent around this pack and just when I assumed he'd come with his warriors to fight his way into this pack, Hades creaked the door and entered, locking it behind. He leaned on it, and heaved a deep sigh of relief like someone who just escaped from a tough battle. "How's the construction going? Are you guys done now?" My weak voice sounded in the room. "Killian was found again," he said, as he came towards the bed. He sat
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
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
