Hades' POVThe hall was resounding with so much noise and I could see the Alpha King seated on his royal throne while some official members welcomed us into the hall. I saw Killian move inside the hall just before I did. I chuckled softly as I knew my man was in action in his pack already.I almost got in but I was stopped and asked to remove my mask which I blatantly refused to do."The masked Alpha." One of my men said and the one that stopped me asked, "The one that's greatly feared? Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. Do not rip out my bones." He said and we both chuckled as he let us in. I was seated comfortably on the seat provided as my gazes locked with Killian's but I didn't see Brielle. Some Alphas came with their Luna while some didn't. I also didn't. If Killian thought he had a stronger security, why not bring Brielle with him? I could hijack him on the way to Ohio and even kidnap him too, so he wouldn't bring up a plan to look for us. Stupid man.The King Alpha welcomed all of us as t
Hades' POV"I do not have a phone with me," he slowly said, "and I'm not sure if Papa would have returned. He should find me on time.""Oh, trying to play smart, ain't?" I asked and we all scoffed, except for the little boy."No. If you have a phone, we can call her and I'd speak with her." He said and I signaled to one of my men to bring his cell phone. If I called with my line, she'd know it's me since she saved my number already."The number is..." He said but I interrupted, "I know it offhand. Just stay put and speak to her. Ensure you convince her to come here. If not, you won't be leaving. I hope you're aware." I said and guffawed. Then, I typed her number from my phone to one of my men's, and it began to ring."Hi, mum," the little boy said."Cutie, where are you?! I've been searching for you. Where the hell are you?!" She screamed in angst."An hideout I think. But here's so secretive, you can't reach me. They required you to come over here before I am released.""Come over? I
Hades' POVI was becoming impatient. If she didn't appear within the next few minutes, I would kill the little boy. Lest they forget I was the masked Alpha that everyone feared. I was a no-go area Alpha. Anyone who tested my ability would go for it. I could see her coming towards us suddenly but she was with a guard."I'll go in now and you can attend to her. She's the one in a blue top and black jeans," informed my men and they held the little boy back as he almost screamed "Mum!"I got in and peeped through the slit on the wall to see how my men would treat Brielle and the guard. She finally got there and ran to her kid as she pulled him for a hug."Now that I'm here, can I go with my kid?" She rolled her eyes at the armed able-bodied men as her glances went straight to the eyes watching them through the slit. It seemed she saw me already."Who's your leader? I guess I'm correct. Come out!" She yelled and started coming in my direction. How could she scream at me to come out? What d
Hades' POVAs I got to my pack, I hurried to my room and brought Brielle in as well. I knew my wolves would be shocked to see that I brought her home. I didn't know what eventually happened to my men. They could have been killed. Life happens.I made her lay in bed before I could think properly. I ensured the door was tightly locked before I headed to the restroom. I turned on the shower after getting off my clothes. I cleaned myself up and checked around my waist where I was injured but I couldn't find any spot there anymore. My wolf had completed the healing quickly. I knew Brielle's wolf would have done that too.I could hear some knocks on the door but I wouldn't open it yet. Brielle needed some good rest as she just escaped from a little yet tough battle between who wanted her. I chuckled at Killian for wasting his energy to fight me. He didn't know I was the most feared Alpha and would get anything I wanted, no matter what it would cost me. Where was he when I became her bidder?
Hades' POVIt was late in the night. I called my beta and we discussed it in his room. He had soundproofs installed there while I even didn't."I think it'll be wiser to come up with a swift plan." He said."Like?" I asked and folded my arms across my chest."We can't just go right there and start to kill his wolves. There's no way the Alpha King wouldn't hear about it. We can ambush any of his wolves and kill them without revealing our faces. You're masked but you can put on more masks so you won't be noticed. Or you might just stay back and we would do the job." He said."Do you know how many wolves I've lost to this process?" I asked and he sighed deeply."I understand. But we can lose more wolves to gain what we want. We are the rulers. Oh, sorry, I mean you're the ruler." He said and I chuckled evilly.He suddenly drew my ears closer to himself as he whispered his plan. I nodded in the affirmative and commented, "It's such a good one. I can't wait for us to execute it successfull
Hades' POVWe finally got to the pack and cheered for executing the plan successfully."I knew it was time to leave. That's why I encouraged them to come with me!" One of the men yelled and I rolled my eyes in his direction, "What do you mean? Didn't my beta call for you instead?""He didn't. When we got downstairs, we met him waiting for us before we saw you. I just perceived it was high time we left. I didn't even know that cops were already in front of the shop. We narrowly escaped, master.""Mind your words and return to the field. You should be so thankful to him for being saved. If you were killed, no one would care. I hope you know." I said and he nodded his head."Hope you all are complete. No one answered my question while we sped away from the cops." I said and the beta shrugged, "I didn't count them, so I can't say but with the look of things, I'd say we are complete."I smiled and chuckled softly, "That's great. Cheers to more plans. Thanks for coming up with that anyway.
Killian's POVI just returned from the meeting the Alpha King called all packs for. I was informed Brielle had sneaked out of the pack. I wasn't instantly mad at her for not waiting patiently till I returned from the big hall. I was mad at the security wolves I entrusted her to.They were visibly shaking as some of them slit their throat since they felt they betrayed me and committed Brielle into the hands of the enemy already. I instructed them to stay safe and not kill themselves any further. They felt peaceful by those words and those about to die regretted they didn't wait to hear that. They fell to the ground and died as their colleagues packed them into the dungeon."Where's Brielle?! Which direction did she take?!" I screamed at them. One of them was trying to appease my anger, telling me to calm down and rest for a while as I just returned from a long journey, but he couldn't voice out. I understood his moves. Anyway, I wouldn't let him play his moves on me. They pointed in th
Hades' POVMy beta suddenly sneaked into my room when I least expected him. He said to had an urgent message for me but it was all lies. He needed to know what secret I had been keeping as I restricted everyone from getting into my room. First, I received the news that Killian had stopped the cops from acting further and had cooked up some reasonable lies so they would reason with him. I felt that was another successful plan executed. Let's see how he rebuilds another coffee shop in a month."Who the hell is this?" He pointed in the direction of the girl and I knew he meant the fake Brielle. Thanks to her for removing the mask earlier, I would have been mocked to stupor for bringing a fake object to the pack after so much effort and struggle."It's a girl I saved from the simple war," I said and he chuckled."Simple war?" He asked, stifling giggles, "Bro, no war is simple.""Bro?" I asked, cautioning him not to forget how to address me properly. He nodded in the affirmative and apolog
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
