“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 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
Vanessa came out of the bathroom very excited, her hair neatly combed. It was her eighteenth birthday, and she couldn’t wait to celebrate with her family and friends.Vanessa was like any other youthful werewolf, eagerly anticipating the moment she would meet her fated mate. Her parents, Craig and Yvette, had told her that it was customary among werewolves to meet their fated mate upon reaching eighteen.All of a sudden, Vanessa could hear loud growls and howls from outside. She got afraid immediately. She could sense a looming danger. Before she could understand what exactly was going on, her mother barged into her room.Vanessa hastily asked her mother, “Mum, what’s going on out there?”“We need to leave now; it’s unsafe here currently,” Yvette, her mother, replied immediately. “Hurry up, Vanessa! We need to look for a place to hide for now,” Yvette stressed.Vanessa and her mother ran through the growing chaos. Snarling and howling grew louder as smoke rose in the distance, a resul
“Kai, please stop. I don’t want anybody to die again. I can’t bear it. I will go with Lynx,” Vanessa said.“No, this cannot happen,” Yvette said as she pulled Vanessa closer to her. Seeing her daughter cry so much was quite distressing for her.Vanessa’s best day ever became her worst nightmare. The only way to stop the war between Lynx and her pack was to go with her mate. Lynx walked up to Vanessa, grabbed her hand, and took her out of the vault. A car was waiting for them outside the vault. Lynx forcefully pushed Vanessa into the car.Her parents watched as the vicious Alpha Lynx took their cherished daughter away. Vanessa waved at her parents and brothers as the car accelerated.Vanessa was not comfortable sitting with Lynx in the car. Silence filled the space as she kept looking outside through the window, avoiding eye contact with Lynx. Despite her efforts, tears streamed down her cheeks. Even her wolf remained silent, offering no solace.Breaking the silence, Lynx remarked, “It
Vanessa was trembling, waiting for the next thing Lynx would say."You are here just as a breeder. Since you are my mate, you can give me an heir so that the future of my pack will be secured. Don't be too forward; I don't have any intention of treating you as my wife," Lynx declared.Vanessa couldn't believe her ears; her heart broke into a million pieces upon hearing what Lynx said."Now get out of here, I am quite busy at the moment," Lynx yelled at Vanessa.Vanessa wanted to cry out, but she tried to remain silent, clenching her fist furiously at her side. She felt betrayed as she left Lynx's office, making her way out into the night. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she ran out of the house. She just wanted to escape the agonizing scene she had just witnessed.Her wolf, Vany, remained silent throughout, just as hurt as Vanessa. Vanessa wanted to talk to her wolf, but Vany was not one to talk much.After walking a long distance, crying and sobbing, she saw glowing neon lights a
Vanessa had never been hit with such force in her eighteen years of existence. Lynx held her by the neck and pushed her until her head hit the wall. "You dare leave this place without my consent, huh?" Lynx thundered.Zoey, Vanessa's best friend, stood there smiling and chuckling. Everybody was watching, including the maids and the guards."I… I'm… sorry," Vanessa tried to speak, the words coming out like a wheeze of air. Lynx eventually let go of her neck and pushed her to the ground. Vanessa thought it was over, but soon after, Lynx began to beat her again, hitting every part of her body.Lynx was hitting her so hard, all she could do was scream as everybody else looked on. Lynx pulled her up by her hair to face him. "If you try to defy me again, I will make your life miserable as hell," Lynx angrily said.The pain and contusions throbbed all over her body. Her body ached so much that she had to close her eyes firmly. She tried her hardest to stand up slowly, cautiously making her w
As Lynx drove back home, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. He couldn't believe that someone had tried to kill Vanessa and his unborn child. He held the steering wheel firmly, his knuckles turning red; he was so angry that he could hardly see straight. "Whoever it was that tried to kill Vanessa and my baby will pay for it," he said through his gritted teeth. "They will pay dearly for this, I promise."Vanessa looked at Lynx, her eyes widened with fear. "Please, Lynx, don't overreact when we get home," she said. "I just want to rest when we get home."Vanessa's mind was racing as she sat down in the car. "Who wants me dead?" she wondered. "Everybody seems to be nice to me, and I haven't fought with anybody since I got to the Blackwood pack," she kept pondering. She looked at Lynx, anger still visible on his face. "But I'm so scared, Lynx," she said, her voice shaking."Don't worry, Vanessa. I will keep you and the baby safe, I promise," Lynx said.Lynx's grip tightened
Lynx froze upon hearing the voice of the figure, his hand hanging in the air. Two guards were standing beside the figure with neutral expressions on their faces.The figure looked at Lynx. "What do you think you are doing, Lynx?" he asked, his voice calm but firm.The unexpected appearance of the man broke the tension in the hall, and everybody turned to look at him. He was tall and commanding, and his eyes were filled with rage.Lynx went blank as the man asked him the question. He put down his hand, his heart racing in his chest. He turned to face the man, and he was shocked. He wasn't expecting him at all."I am looking for the person who tried to poison my Luna," Lynx managed to speak.The commanding man is Uncle Toni, Lynx's uncle. He walked to Isabella, who was lying down helplessly on the floor, and gently helped her to stand up. He looked at her with concern. "Are you alright?" he asked in a gentle tone.Isabella nodded while still shaking. Uncle Toni turned to Lynx with a cha
