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
"Beta Elliott said he has been trying to send an information to the pack's hotline but it's not going through. He contacted me to inform you not to face Alpha Lynx just yet," Anastasia said."Why?" Alexander asked immediately."Alpha Lynx has got a secret shipment of silver bullets which are very scarce, one shot is enough to end a wolf," She said."Lynx has got a really big game on his hand. Silver bullet! …" Alexander exclaimed."Any other information?" Alexander asked."He also told me that a lady called Zoey is on our side now, and she is the one providing the information to him," Anastasia said.Alexander shifted his eyes to Vanessa upon hearing what Anastasia had just said. Vanessa was shocked, and Alexander was also surprised to hear that."He asked not to worry about him as he needs to get more information from Zoey, and he implore you to find a way to deal with Lynx apart from going one-on-one with him," Anastasia continued.********************Prior Events at Blackwood Pack
Lynx walked out of his chamber to address his soldiers to get prepared as they will soon move to attack the white phoenix pack. After addressing his soldiers, he had a little chat with Edward before moving back to his chamber. He met Zoey on the bed waiting for him. She seductively winked at him. Lynx smiled and approached her for another round of sex. They have had sex the previous night, yet they never seem to get tired of each other. After another round of passion between the two. Zoey laid on the bed with her eyes shut, pretending to be in a sleeping state. Her heart was pounding hard and fast in her chest. She opened one eye to check whether Lynx was awake, but he was not.The illumination in the chamber casted an ethereal glow across all the nooks and crannies, highlighting Lynx's chiseled frame as he quietly slept at the other side of the bed, his arms wrapped around Zoey.Her mind was filled with conflicting thoughts and feelings. She knew that what she was about to do was d
"I'm sorry, Elliott," Zoey bagan. "Lynx has started hiding things from me. For some time now, he has been secretive in his plans. All I know is that he is hell bent on destroying Vanessa and Alexander. I just feel like something is not right with him with how he is moving lately," Zoey said."Why do you think he is hiding things from you?" Elliott asked."I don't know yet. But, he is definitely suspecting something, because his instructions to the guards outside is not to let anybody go inside the dungeon," Zoey replied.Zoey kept staring at Elliott as they conversed, watching as he kept his head down. A dangerous aura was seeping through his entire body; he seemed to be really pissed off."That means there will be no more information," he said and hissed, his eyes filled with disdain."You can't give up just yet, Elliott. We can look for another way," Zoey said.A deafening silence filled the dungeon after that. That's when Zoey had the chance to carefully look at Elliott. His whole
Vanessa stood at the same spot for some moments. She said a little prayer to the moon goddess to guard and protect Alexander. She was having a bad feeling about the impending war, especially when Zoey is now on their side. Vanessa once trusted her, but after finding out about her affair with her first mate, Zoey had become a total stranger to her, and she no longer had an iota of trust left within her. Zoey had frustrated her to the extent of speaking ill of her right to her face without feeling remorseful.She wondered why Zoey had to do all that because she had always been a good friend to Zoey. She then chose not to bother about that because what matters most now is the safety of Alexander and the entire white phoenix pack. She turned around and walked back into the mansion. She had barely walked a few meters into the mansion when she noticed the impacting sound of a high-heeled shoe approaching her from behind as they made a striking sound with the well-tiled floor. Vanessa wonde
