By the time Alexander and Vanessa got to the white phoenix pack, night had fallen already. Alexander was very weak and barely conscious. Vanessa pulled over infront of the mansion. The guards outside gave her a weird look as she stepped out of the car. She opened the other door of the car and helped Alexander out, when the guards saw their Alpha, they quickly walked over to him. "Alpha," the guards said in unison, and bowed. They didn't bother to ask any questions, instead they helped him.Vanessa walked behind them. They entered the mansion and the mansion was quite different to Lynx's mansion, it was twice as big as Lynx's mansion. The interior was majestic with magnificent designs.Alexander's appearance triggered different types of reactions. Vanessa could tell that the guards and the maids were confused and curious, but they could only keep their confusion and curiosity to themselves.Alexander was placed on the bed in his chamber, Vanessa moved quickly to his side. She could s
Elliott was pacing back and forth in the cell where he was locked up. He looked very disturbed, he kept thinking back at the conversation he had with Zoey."If it's true that our pack will soon be attacked by Lynx, then I have to do something now," he muttered to himself.Just then, Zoey entered the dungeon. "I can help you with that," she said. Elliott turned to face her immediately. "How?" he asked urgently.Zoey took out her cell phone. "With this," she replied."However, you have to be very fast in sending the message because the guards will be here soon," Zoey said.Elliott quickly collected the cell phone from Zoey, and sent a message to the white phoenix pack's council hotline, the hotline is where they receive important messages regarding the affairs of the pack.He got notifications from the cell phone that the message has been sent successfully, and he handed the cell phone back to Zoey.Zoey collected the cell phone and she left the dungeon immediately.Elliott let out a s
The hallway then became silent all of a sudden, with everyone of them staring at Vanessa. Vanessa had her eyes fixed on Zedicus , trying not to allow her fears to get over her. Her mind was filled with the question: "What if they say I am lying?""Excuse me young lady, what did you just say?" Zedicus questioned."I said I am carrying a baby. Alpha Alexander's baby," she said again, her voice firmer.Other members of the pack's council wanted a chance to speak. Anything concerning the child of an Alpha is a serious matter. An issue that should not be taken lightly."How can we believe her? This could be a deceit. All her answers have been shady since she came here," Someone said from the back. Vanessa's eyes drifted to him and she shot him a small glare. Zedicus thought for a while before talking, "You said you are carrying the child of our Alpha but we don't know you, you are a stranger to us," he paused for a moment and then continued, "There is a possibility that you are lying and
Lynx's eyes twinkled with hope. "The curse can be broken?" He asked.Genevieve nodded. "However, you have to do something," she said.Lynx narrowed his gaze at her. "What's that?, I can give anything to break the curse," Lynx said."You have to apologize to the girl's family," Genevieve said. "What?" I, Alpha Lynx, should apologize to a refugee? No, that's not possible," Lynx retorted."That's the tradition to lift a curse like that, and you should gladly do that" Genevieve replied. "You are not the one to tell me about any f*cking," Lynx said."You failed to listen to me that day when I told you not to be reckless in your actions, but you went ahead to kill the girl and her mate," Genevieve said. She wanted to continue her statement when Lynx suddenly banged the table."That's enough!" Lynx said angrily."I appreciate you for coming here to tell me how the curse can be broken. However, I will decide whether to apologize or not. You can leave now," Lynx said, dismissing Genevieve an
Alexander let out a heavy breath, this was not the time to get emotional, it was time to move out of where he found himself. Her mother's last words resonated in his mind; "Think of what matters most to you." Alexander thought of his pack, he was thinking about how big it was, how they were accorded respect by other packs, and all the good times he had in his pack. However, he was not able get out of where he found himself trapped.Alexander groaned in frustration. "Where am I!" I need to leave this place!" He growled, his voice echoing through the path."My pack, my child, my mate. I need to see Vanessa," he uttered in frustration. His mind drifted to the first time they met, and the passionate moment they had together.All he wanted was Vanessa, her mate. He had made a vow to her in Lynx's dungeon to protect and be with her no matter what. He didn't mind loosing the billion-euro contract he had with Lynx. As long as he have Vanessa, he was ready to give up anything.Suddenly, every
Elliott stared at Lynx, his face expressionless. Lynx raised a brow to remind him that he was waiting for an answer.Suddenly, Elliott lets out a mockery laughter which resonates throughout the entire dungeon.Lynx became confused, he wondered if he said anything funny or if he had something funny on his face. "That's what you want?" Elliott asked after he stopped laughing."Yes, join hands with me, and freedom will be yours," Lynx replied."That's one of the most stupid joke I have ever heard to be honest. What made you think I will accept?" Elliott asked.Lynx could sense the irritation in his voice. Elliott didn't allow him to reply to his question. "With all due respect, you sound dumb, Alpha Lynx. Keep your f*cking proposal to yourself. I can never join you," Elliott said, shaking his head.Lynx's anger flared up, he could no longer control it, rejecting his offer is one thing to him. However, going on to insult him is another thing he would never overlook.Lynx moved into the c
Vanessa bit his lips, she thought within herself that this is what she should have told him before having the other conversations with him because the safety of the pack is very paramount."Lynx's resolve is to launch an attack on the pack," Vanessa said. She paused to allow him to take in what she had just uttered. After a second, she continued, "While you were unconscious, Elliott sent a message, informing us of the imminent attack," Vanessa said."Where is Elliott?" Alexander asked."He couldn't make it out of the dungeon the other day, and he has been held hostage by Lynx," Vanessa replied.The report didn't sit well with Alexander. The atmosphere in the chamber had quickly changed to something serious."And Lynx is at the border with his men?" Alexander asked again, and Vanessa nodded.Alexander dug his fist into his palm."I'm really sorry," Vanessa said, feeling guilty."Why are you sorry?" Alexander asked."Because I am the cause of everything. If you had not met me at the pub
"Because, Vanessa here is.. " Alexander's eyes fell on Vanessa as she looked at him nervously for a few moments before looking down on her fidgeting hands."Vanessa is my true mate," Alexander said firmly. The members of the council exchanged gazes, and the hall was subsequently filled with indistinct chatter. However, they were not as shocked as one would expect them to be. They have been thinking of the possibility that Vanessa was Alexander's true mate ever since Vanessa said she was carrying Alexander's child.Vanessa was very shocked upon hearing what Alexander had just revealed. She had thought that Alexander wouldn't reveal it to the pack yet, which was partly true. Alexander only wanted to show the council the tip of the iceberg first, and then reveal the rest after the war comes to an end."But, Alpha Alexander…" As one would expect, Cameron was the first to talk. Alexander shifeted his eyes to where Cameron was, ready to hear his already predictable utterance."What about V
Lynx immediately tore the weak rope that had been used to tie him, and headed for the nearest soldier to him. He instantly grabbed his throat and pulled out his windpipe from his neck, causing blood to fly all around him. He then went for the next soldier, slicing his head clean off with a clean sweep of his claws.He was about to turn to kill another of Uncle Toni's men when he looked and saw that Uncle Toni and Elliott were sorting themselves. He wanted to continue with his killing, but the anger that he had felt within him the moment his eyes landed on his uncle took hold of him.“UNCLE TONI!!!” He screamed loudly as he rushed towards him. Uncle Toni looked over, and after seeing that Lynx was coming, he hit Elliott hard on the chest. The hit was so strong that it sent Elliott flying across the place.“Come here,” Uncle Toni mumbled with his crooked smile as he stood in a fighting stance.Lynx growled loudly and launched himself into the air towards Uncle Toni. It was halfway that
“Does he have to come with you?” Lynx overheard Vanessa ask Alexander as she stared at him. “I don't think you should trust him.”“He has a score to settle with his uncle,” Alexander replied to Vanessa. “This war is happening because of him, so I think it's reasonable that he goes with us.”“But what if–”“No what ifs Vanessa,” Alexander said softly as he placed his hands under Vanessa's chin. He lifted her face to meet his, and planted a kiss on her lips. “We will go and come back victorious.”Vanessa nodded, “I trust you, love.”After Alexander was done talking with Vanessa, he turned and began leading Lynx and the army out of the pack's barrack which was just beside the pack house mansion.They headed towards the battlefield where Uncle Toni had gathered with his warriors. Lynx had caught sight of Zoey on the way out, but he turned his face away just when she was about to meet his eyes.As they drove towards the battlefield, Lynx noticed Elliott kept on moving his car closer to his
Lynx expected Elliott to show up in the cell, but he didn't. He thought Elliott was probably busy with Zoey, too busy to come take his share of payback. He couldn't decide if he could take that as a good or bad thing.He brought his head in between his legs and sighed slowly. Some of his wounds had healed, but his face still hurt. The parts of his face that were swollen had still not gone down, and his head pounded hard. He leaned to one side and closed his eyes, trying his best to summon sleep so that he could take a temporary escape from the pain that he was feeling.Just as his eyes were about to close, he heard the loud creaking sound of the gate of the dungeon. He shot his eyes open and groaned loudly. He thought Elliott had finally come to take his share.With a grunt, he placed his hands on the ground and slowly lifted himself up to a sitting position. He then remained that way as the door swung open. He looked up with his one good eye and was a bit surprised to see that it was
Blackwood Pack…Uncle Toni sat in his chamber wondering what to do next. He had seen the decayed corpse, and it wasn't Lynx's. He could tell because the body structure didn't match that of Lynx, and did not have the aura of an Alpha.He sat there in deep thought when a guard knocked at his door. “What is it?” Uncle Toni asked blankly. “One of the commanders under the former Alpha's rule says he has information on Lynx's whereabouts,” the guard announced from the outside.Uncle Toni immediately got up to his feet upon hearing that. He rushed to the door and pushed it open. “Where is he?” He asked immediately.“He is currently in the receiving room with Beta George,” the guard reported.Uncle Toni hurried through the hallway as he headed to the grand meeting room.The two guards standing on each side of the grand meeting room doors opened it as Uncle Toni approached. Uncle Toni walked in to find one of the former commanders standing there, hopefully looking at him. When Uncle Toni got
Alexander collected the rag from one of the dungeon guards and cleaned his bloody hands. After cleaning every single trail of blood off, he handed the rag back to the guard and headed for his chamber.He knew Vanessa would have still been waiting for him. The thought of that caused a smile to form on his lips– there would be some good for today.When he finally arrived at his chamber, he paused at the door after hearing some sounds coming from within. He placed his ears on the door and smiled softly after hearing that it was Vanessa crying.He pushed open the door and walked in, he met Vanessa on the bed, her face filled with tears. Alexander walked over to her and knelt down beside her as she cried harder.“Why are you crying, darling?” Alexander asked as he ran his fingers through her soft, silky hair. “What is the matter?”“Zoey,” Vanessa replied with a small sniff. “I heard Lynx has got her, he's killed her, hasn't he?”“No, my love,” Alexander said as he wrapped his hands around
Upon getting back to the white phoenix pack house mansion, Alexander immediately got down from the car and went inside the mansion. Lynx's eyes fluttered open as the sounds of footsteps shuffling around reached his ears. He turned to his side with a growl but stopped sharply after he felt a sharp pain at his side. He paused for a few seconds before laying back.“Where in the hell am I?” He asked no one in particular as he coughed loudly. He moved to his side to try standing up again, ignoring the pain that was stabbing at him, and after many trials and errors, he was finally able to sit up straight. He placed his back against the wall behind him and hissed loudly as his aching side came into contact with the moist wall. Closing his eyes, he let out a loud sigh.Slowly, he opened his eyes again, and steadily this time. He turned his head to take a look at his new and strange environment.The only door in the room stood a few feet away from him, but he knew that it would be a real str
Scholes moved Zoey away and looked at Lynx as though scrutinizing every feature of his body. Lynx tightened his fist into a ball, ready to attack Scholes, so that when he was distracted, Zoey could escape.“Next!” Scholes voiced out. Lynx looked up, confused as Scholes stared at him a little longer before quickly moving forward.Lynx and Zoey moved along, and just when they were a bit far from the checkpoint, a few guards hurried towards them. “Alpha Lynx, commander Scholes has ordered us to escort you through a shortcut so you wouldn't get caught by your uncle's men.”Lynx looked up at the one who spoke and searched his gaze in curiosity. “You have to trust us, Alpha Lynx. Since your disappearance, we've been treated nothing less than wrong by the new vicious Alpha. We are ready to help you return to your position,” one of the guards explained.Lynx saw a million and one questions in Zoey's eyes, but the guard gave her a reassuring smile. Lynx could understand why they chose to he
It's been two weeks since Lynx disappeared into the world, and Uncle Toni declared him wanted and ordered the Blackwood force to kill him on sight.Zoey hadn't been a quiet one for the past week where Lynx abducted Zoey to. She had been yelling, and trying to convince Lynx to go and apologize to Sophia's parents for his atrocity.Lynx thought Zoey was only doing all of that so she could get out of there and be with Elliott. He got so mad at her last night when she began yelling at him again that it took all of him not to slap her right across the face.He instead got up in anger and impaled her against a chair inside the hut. He found a few things he could use as a rope and binders, and even a seal tape. He used the binder to cage her hands and legs to the chair, then he went back to her mouth with the tape. Zoey was trying her best to move away and even caught the tape in her hair a few times.Lynx grabbed her head, holding her still, and placed the tape over her talkative mouth. He
Zoey sat down on the small stony bench next to Lynx as Lynx told her about his first love, Sophia. “Why did you kill her if you truly love her then?” Zoey asked.“I felt betrayed, she once professed so much love to me. We didn't start out as lovers, we were just friends. Finally, I agreed to be with her to make her happy because I genuinely cared for her,” Lynx replied.This was the first time Zoey could actually see that much genuineness and care in Lynx's eyes. She could see the sadness and regret, but there was also pain.“After she found that guy, she let go of me; I was no longer a lover or friend. And that's only because that mate of hers told her how insecure he is that we are still friends. One day, I heard they were mated, and I got mad and violent. That might have been the first time Aunt Genevieve and Uncle Toni had seen me so mad and fierce,” Lynx said and his eyes turned darker as he spoke of his uncle.“Well, I got to their shared home with a gun loaded with silver bulle
