Hades' POVBrielle's mother opened the conversation: "Alpha, what would you like to take?"I cleared my thought slightly, "nothing. I am here on behalf of Brielle."At first, they looked stunned but her father intervened since they all fell silent. I could feel the irration her sisters felt when I mentioned her name."What happened to her?" He asked, and took his seat, right in front of me."Nothing bad," I said, cleared my throat and stared at each of them, "you don't look surprised. I expected more than this from you.""We've never met you, have we?" Her father suddenly said which sounded like an insult to me."You've never met me but," I said with aow gruff tone but I suddenly rise to my feet, growling lowly, "you must have heard about me. Didn't you release your daughter to be with me?""Didn't she plead with you to stay here and not come close to me?" I asked again and now, the shock on their faces satisfied me. They were scared to realize how I knew that."She could have informe
Hades' POVThey were confident about resisting the urge to lunge an attack at I and my subjects. Why were they so quiet now? I thought they were the rulers of the pack."We aren't here with guns. Why surrender?" I asked, laughing derisively at them."I beg your pardon." The father said, "here are the details of Brielle. She's in her early twenties, fair and a beautiful damself. She went to Oakland high school and lived in Texas for..." He began to say but I interrupted suddenly."I didn't ask for that, dumbass," I said and faced the guards who were holding chains that have been soaked in silver already, "chain them if they don't respond on time.""Just state what exactly you want and we'll surely provide the details." Her father said with a trembling voice. It made so much sense to me to threaten them this way. I was willing to make their lives a living hell, even if they revealed Brielle's information to my taste. They had trespassed by raising their voices at me initially. They had
Hades' POV"Her story read that you guys should always know her location as you've been together with a while and you certainly killed her parents. You did that to inherit their properties and send her out of the house. Isn't that true?" I asked again, starting to feel bad for Brielle. She never knew all these secrets and I was going to inform her after I dealt with these people and got out of here.My forehead creased when the two wolves grunted once more. The two rude sisters of Brielle. I turned to the guard and said loudly, "if those wolves growl again, you have the rights to attack them. Ensure you kill both of them!""Calm down, Hades. This is a threat. Do you know who these wolves are? No, you don't. And, you don't need to. An Alpha shouldn't be, without a security wolf with him." The father said.The two wolves began to growl seriously and loudly as my guards began to shake terribly, even with the chains soaked in silver with them. I suddenly felt disappointed as my eyes switc
Hades' POVThe guards were in a rush to get in the car which got me pissed off the more."Can you just stop being a coward?" I asked, but the expression on their faces was disapproving."They might break off and pursue us immediately," one of them said, "I can go and check them again, right?""Sure." I said and they both returned to the room to peep through the door and check how unable or able they were able to move. As soon as they couldn't stare back and see me, I walked out of the living room and locked the door from outside. I could see the rest of the guards taking a lot of pictures with my car. I fumed at that but stood by the door, so the guards would understand I deliberately locked them in. Why would they doubt the power of the silver chains?The door began to budge suddenly as they muttered within themselves, "why the hell would he lock the door? Doesn't he know we are still in?"Another muttered, "he must be nuts. How can we break this door?"I didn't react to those words
Hades' POVThe tires of the car screeched as I got down quickly. My heart continued to pant harder as I tried to help the little boy up. I kept blaming myself for having to think about the low lives that should be chasing my vehicle behind and pleading to convey them to the pack."Are you hurt?" I asked, and gulped as I helped him up but he looked totally fine. I had to confirm if he didn't start bleeding internally so I wouldn't assume he wasn't hurt whereas he's badly hurt.He didn't lift his face till I led him to the pack. I began to think he had gotten bruises all over his face and didn't want to show it. As he sat beside me, I gave him a mirror to check if he's truly hurt. I was done with checking already, but probably my eyes weren't clear enough or I was only being anxious."I'm fine," he muttered as I pulled him in for a hug. I felt relaxed by the response as I retrieved the mirror from him and returned it to the original position, in the car."Let's get to you to the nearest
Hades' POVWhy did I suddenly feel like I was in the wrong pack? I felt I had stepped into an enemy's territory. There was no proof to verify my statement but my wolf could feel the absurdity of this pack."She's currently busy," the little boy came out of the room and said, "what about we walk to the field? Like, take a stroll?""Would anyone ask who I am?" I asked."Only if they know you. They might call you the masked Alpha. I had heard something like that before. Eliminating The Masked Alpha. It was a plan set up by the pack but I am only telling you now because it has been terminated since a long while now." He said and I shivered a bit but I maintained composure.I lowered my head as I walked. I didn't want anyone to be unduly attracted to me. I thought being introduced to the Alpha of the pack and my purpose for being here could be clearer. I would have stopped the boy from pushing me forward to the field or to take some stroll and just drove back home, but there was an inner u
Hades' POVI remain seated on the comfortable sofa in the living room. The fact that she knew there was a figure in the living room but she didn't care to confirm who it was, angered me more. I kept staring at the door of the room she came from, and also at the door of the living room should Killian decide to come in. He though I'd left already. But I badly wanted to meet with Brielle.The little boy came out of the room after a few minutes but when he decided to play with me like he earlier did, I creased my forehead and wore a disapproving look."What's wrong?" The innocent kid asked, staring deeply into my eyes. I had impregnated Brielle and she gave birth already? She could have sent a letter that she did already. Even if she wanted to remain away from the pack, I would visit her wherever she said she was."Nothing, little boy," I said and ran my fingers through his hair."Definitely a lie," he said and began to laugh, "is it because I didn't serve you any drink, as I promised?" T
Hades' POV"I-I apologize for how I treated you..." I said and shut my eyes. She might not know my eyes have been shut, afterall, I was masked. I encouraged myself as an Alpha who I was and opened my eyes widely as I realized she wasn't in front of me anymore. The little kid wasn't anywhere to be found as well.I felt like duplicating her that moment. I would manipulate her actions and make her want me if only I could duplicate her but my thoughts were just random imaginations that couldn't come to pass. I suddenly hid behind the three seater when Killian suddenly turned the door knob and walked in. He seemed furious and called for the little kid immediately."Where is he?!" He yelled. I wished he'd mention his name, so I would make more research on whom the father of the kid was likely to be. The little kid ran out of the room and Killian pulled him into a hug. He lifted him and pecked his forehead, "don't get into argument with any wolf in this pack. Do you understand? Always mainta
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
