The moon casted a silver, ethereal glow upon the pathway that led to the mansion's exit. Stars scattered across the sky like diamonds on a black silk, their illumination twinkling like ancient tales. Crickets chirped in a soothing symphony, their song a lullaby for the nocturnal creatures that stirred. A gentle breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of blooming jasmine as Vanessa and Alexander strolled hand in hand through the park. "I can't believe we will soon be parents, Alexander," Vanessa said, her voice filled with awe and enthrallment. "It was a dream, and I am here living it."Alexander squeezed her hand affectionately, a smile grimacing his lips. "If it's a dream, then I don't want to wake up from it," Alexander replied, and they locked gazes for a while, both of them unwilling to let go of each other as they felt hooked at a corner.Vanessa cleared her throat, and turned away from him shyly. Alexander could see just how red her cheeks had become, and he cou
TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT "Where are we going?" Vanessa asked, her voice laced with curiosity."Somewhere so beautiful just like you," Alexander replied, and Vanessa couldn't help but giggle a bit.And with that, they set off. Alexander didn't have to slow down, knowing that Vanessa could easily tag along without much stress. Knowing that gave him a sense of ease as they ran through the trees and grasses.Finally, they reached there. They stood before the lake, and Vanessa felt awestruck by the beauty in front of her. The clear water sparkled like diamonds, enchanting her with its beauty.Alexander moved closer to her, his wolf form majestic and radiating power. His eyes shimmered with a mix of excitement and nostalgia."Vanessa," he called, his voice a low rumble in the middle of the night. "This area holds a special significance for me."His words piqued Vanessa's curiosity. "It's a really wonderful place. How did you get to know about this place?" She asked.Alexa
Vanessa woke up to see a couple of strong arms wrapped around her from behind. She instantly knew it was Alexander, and she didn't bother to move an inch so as not to wake him up.In some way, she was able to get out of Alexander's embrace, but he woke up as soon as she tried to leave the bed.She felt him grab onto her hand and pulled her back to the bed."What are you doing?" Vanessa asked."Good morning, pretty," Alexander said, planting kisses on Vanessa's lips and smirking mischievously."Hey man, I am yet to brush. You literally kissed off a dead skin," Vanessa complained."Dosen't matter, Vanessa. Every part of you is fresh to me," Alexander replied, and Vanessa chuckled a bit. "Don't try to startle me this morning," she said, smiling lightly."Hope you are not hurt last night?" Alexander asked."No, I am not. Alexander, I'm just pregnant, not a fragile egg rolling off a table. Can't you see how fit I am? I am strong, so is our baby; we are stronger than you think," Vanessa rep
With a gentle smile, the moon goddess moved closer, her sapphire eyes sparkling with grace. "Can you still remember what I told you the first time we met?" The moon goddess asked.Vanessa's brow furrowed, trying to remember the details of that mysterious night.It had felt so clear, yet fragments of it slipped out of her mind. "I… I can remember your appearance, but the memory is kind of hazy. You said quite a lot of things, so I'm unable to guess which one," Vanessa admitted, a tinge of disappointment lacing her voice.The moon goddess reached out with her hand, her touch as gentle as moonbeam. "Look back in retrospect, Vanessa. The memory will come in time," the moon goddess said. And with that, Vanessa flashed back to the meeting of that night a week ago. She had slept earlier than usual because of how weak she felt. However, in the early hours of the morning, she felt a sudden chilly air envelope her and she could hear a faint whisper of her name in the air, so faint that she mis
Blackwood pack…Lynx sat alone in his chamber, surrounded by the ambient light of the room. He felt lost thoughts as his eyes zeroed in on a particular space in his chamber. Weeks had passed since he last made a move against the white phoenix pack.Alexander had remained vigilant, refusing to let down his guard. However, Lynx had set a new plan in motion to wipe out the entire white phoenix pack. "Zoey was right all along, there was no need for brute force. Alexander, this time I will outsmart you," Lynx uttered. A wicked grin crept upon his face as he imagined his moment of triumph– the satisfaction of crushing the white phoenix pack with his plan. The mere thought of it sent a chilling sensation down his spine.Just as he revelled in his plan, the door squeaked open and Zoey stepped into the chamber. Lynx could see guilt in her face, and he knew she wanted to apologize for what she had done."Zoey, trying to help Vanessa is simply going against me, and you wouldn't want to go again
"Alexander, are you not the one that came in earlier? You even walked to the washroom and came to the bed," Vanessa explained in shock."I was walking down the hallway when I noticed a strange shadow moving into the chamber," Alexander replied.Alexander quickly dashed out of the chamber to search for whoever that person was. Jasper, Vanessa's guard, and Sharon, her personal maid, kept trying all they could to calm Vanessa down and reassure her that Alexander will most definitely catch the intruder.Upon exiting the mansion, Alexander shifted into his wolf form and climbed a huge rock to have a good view of the surroundings. He knew there were a lot of shady things going on within the pack, and a rumor of a rogue being among them was flying around, but he barely paid attention to it.The intruder's scent still lingered around the chamber even after he left, and Alexander had registered that scent in his sixth sense. He knew it was the scent of a rogue, and that was the reason Vanessa
It was getting harder and harder for Alexander to find out who that strange man was as he never did any harm to Vanessa, but his aura oozes danger. He could perceive it from his scent, so who could it be? He wondered.He already has Elliott and a few of his undercover agents investigating the matter.According to the information they had gathered, Lynx was in his pack last night partying. So, he definitely didn't leave the comfort of his home to even come close to the white phoenix pack's borders.Alexander brought out his phone and began sending a text to Elliott when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the dining room.He slowly gazed up to see Vanessa slowly walking down the stairs, looking so pretty and all dressed up and remarkably beautiful in just a simple, plain house wear."Vanessa, you are awake. Good morning dear," Alexander said."Good morning, love. I want to have breakfast with you here," she said with a bright smile on her face, and Alexander smiled at her back
"I… I'm sorry, Alpha Alexander. I couldn't protect Vanessa. They… They… took them…away," Jasper managed to speak, coughing out blood in the process."Who took them away?" Alexander yelled in frustration."They… They… were masked wolves," Jasper replied, and Alexander immediately knew it was the rogues.Then it became clear to him that the sudden attack at the borders was a trap to lure everybody away from the mansion. However, he couldn't understand two things. Firstly, why is it that it was when Lynx troops attacked the borders that the rogues attacked the mansion? Was it a coincidence or a carefully thought out plan? Secondly, how did the rogues have such access to the mansion? Apart from being heavily guarded, the mansion was surrounded by traps.A sudden call then interrupted his trail of thoughts. He walked over to the telephone placed on the wall to answer the call."Hello, Alpha Alexander," he heard a familiar, irritating voice say through the call in a mocking tone."Who is on
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
