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
The mystery man put on his mask, and looked directly into Vanessa's eyes. Suddenly, Vanessa began looking quite pale as the mystery man's eyes glowed brightly, and everybody could realize that he was doing something to Vanessa.Vanessa tried hard to keep her eyes open but couldn't even stand straight on her two feet, she was feeling weaker and weaker with each passing second. Her eyelids were forcefully trying to shut tight on their own, and she knew her legs would soon give out.The mystery man released her and she came crashing down on the floor. Alexander, who banged the entrance door open, quickly ran over to her side and held her in his hand, and Vanessa could feel a sense of security as she noticed a muscular arm holding her. She slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.The mystery man slowly moved away from them and walked to the old woman by the corner. He bent down to her level and looked her directly in the eyes. "Shall we," he said to her, and she trembled lightl
Alexander opened his eyes with a gasp and found out that he was all alone in the old, abandoned building. He was tied up to the chair he had sat on. There was not a single soul around, and it seemed everyone had left since, with Vanessa. He looked towards the corner and found his phone close to the wall. The phone was ringing, and he stretched himself to look closer and he found that it was Elliott calling. He shifted into his wolf form, ripping off his clothes and the rope tied around him.He shifted back to his human form, and stumbled on his feet as he tried to reach out to his phone, he stood up back and picked up his phone. He answered the call and placed the phone on his ear."Come to the old, abandoned building in the woods, at the outskirts of the pack. Bring clothes and water along with you," Alexander said. His breath was shaky, and Elliott was about to say something, but Alexander was not interested in hearing it and cut the call.Alexander stood there, running his fingers
Alexander sat alone in the living room, his head bowed low and his fingers clenched when a familiar scent filled his nostrils. He looked up in confusion and followed the scent, trying to find where it was coming from. He could never mistake that scent– the scent of his beloved.He quickly got out of the living room and then to the courtyard outside. He tracked the scent out to the side of the mansion and found Zoey. She looked quite disheveled and out of breath as she kept panting uncontrollably. Alexander wondered what she was doing in his pack, but that's not what caught his attention. Standing next to Zoey was Vanessa. She was also panting, as though they had run for way too long."Alexander," Vanessa quickly rushed over to his side and hugged him lovingly. "I've missed you so much," she said, whining like a little child."I missed you too, but how did you come back? Why is Zoey here too?" Alexander asked as he got out of her embrace."Well, I found out that Lynx had captured Vanes
Vanessa lay motionless on the bed, her face pale and her breath fading away. Alexander sat down beside her and held her hand, it was cold, way too cold and he rubbed it in an attempt to generate some heat.Zoey watched them from the doorway, her face a mask of fret. She fidgeted with her hand and her phone, and would occasionally glance at Alexander's direction.It felt like forever before Alexander heard the sound of a car pulling up outside the mansion. He rushed to the window, and saw an older woman in doctor's attire getting out of the car. Margaret was here.He let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little bit of tension leave his body. He turned to Zoey still standing on the doorway waiting for the next thing to do."Go usher her in," Alexander said quickly.Zoey nodded and quickly ran down the stairs. Alexander moved back to Vanessa, squeezing her hand gently. "Help is here, Vanessa. Just hang on a little bit," he whispered, hoping she could hear him. As he waited for Zoey to esc
Alexander turned back to Margaret, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Why didn't we shift? What's happening?"Margaret's expression was grave as she spoke. "Alpha Alexander, when you called me, I was on my way to the altar where everybody was awaiting your presence. I found out that all wolves are in their human form, and I wasn't the only one who didn't shift," she explained.Alexander then realized that that was the reason why there were no guards and no maids around. "Are they still there," he asked."Yes. But, Alpha Alexander, there are way too many mysteries surrounding your unborn pup. I've had my doubts, but after thinking carefully, I'm sure this has a connection to the pup," Margaret said.Alexander tried to understand the gravity of Margaret's words. The idea that his pup was the only wolf to shift even inside the womb on the night of the full moon in the pack was both thrilling and confusing to him.Alexander leaned in closer to Margaret, his voice barely above a whisper. "What d
"Nooo!" In the midst of her torment, Vanessa jolted awake, drenched in sweat, her heart racing and pounding in her chest. Alexander was there, kneeling beside her on the bed, his face filled with worry. He had been shaking her, calling out her name, and trying to bring her back to reality."Vanessa, I'm here," he said urgently, his voice etched with concern. "Wake up, please. It was just a nightmare."Tears streamed down Vanessa's face as she clung to Alexander, her body trembling. "I didn't sin, Alexander. I didn't betray anybody," she sobbed, her voice filled with anguish. "He's wrong. I'm not a whore."Alexander held her tightly, his hand providing solace and reassurance. "It's okay, Vanessa. It was just a nightmare," he said under his breath. "You didn't sin, and you didn't betray anyone. I'm right here with you," he said, his voice soothing.As Vanessa gradually calm down. Alexander's concern shifted to her physical well-being. He touched her forehead gently, and his eyes showed
