Elliott saw that Veronica had slept off, so he gently got off the bed, not wanting to wake her up, and then headed for the door.He exhaled a long, slow breath, finally being able to relax now that he was away from Veronica.He still couldn't come to terms with what had happened. He had never felt so trapped and helpless in his life. He wished he wasn't drunk that night, and now he had to deal with Veronica for eight whole months, trapped in the same room with her until she gives birth.He looked around the hallway, his eyes adjusting to the lights. He couldn't see anyone as everybody has retired to their rooms. The air was still and quiet as he stood in the hallway. He took another deep breath, trying to calm his racing mind.He wanted to stay outside, as he couldn't go in to stay with Veronica. He had always considered himself a patient person, but the situation at hand was pushing him to his limits. He had to find a way to make it work before he lose his mind completely.As he stoo
The noise of them making love made Veronica stop. Tears welled up in her eyes as she heard them. She knew Elliott never liked her, but the fact that he left her for Zoey when she needed him beside her made her so upset.She knew there was nothing she could do at the moment, even if she open the door right now, that wouldn't make Elliott love her, so she just left.As she walked away, she felt a mix of emotions stirring inside of her. She was so angry and devastated at the same time. Elliott had refused to touch her, but there he was making love with Zoey.She made up her mind that no matter what; she would never leave, and she would do everything possible to use her baby to get the upper hand, and achieve her desires.**********************Alpha Xerxes and twenty-three others arrived at the white phoenix pack. They were the only survivors of their pack, as Lynx and Uncle Toni had come to destroy their pack. They had no choice but to seek help from the head pack.It was a long journey
It's been one week of Xerxes living in the white phoenix pack house mansion. It was a nice morning and the view was awesome. He had been spying and giving Lynx information about what was going on in the white phoenix pack.Lynx had told him that he had something for him to do, but he had been waiting for him to say what it was. Just then, his phone started ringing, and when he looked at his phone, it was Lynx."Good morning," Xerxes greeted, trying his best not to be heard. "I want to show the white phoenix pack a tip of the iceberg today," Lynx said over the phone."What do you mean by a tip of the iceberg?" Xerxes asked."I want a fire attack to happen," Lynx replied."What? That's kind of extreme at the moment," Xerxes said.However, Lynx wasn't having it. He wanted it to happen, no matter what."When do you plan to do that?" Xerxes asked."Tonight!" Lynx said immediately."I will give you more information on how to proceed with it in an hour's time. I have made the preparations,"
"Ahhh," Vanessa winced in pain. "I can't take this anymore, Zoey. Please go get Alexander. I need him right now.""Alpha Alexander!" Alexander heard someone called his name from behind; it was Zeoy, and she looked a bit too worried. "Vanessa's water broke, and she is in labour. She needs you right now." Zoey said.Alexander didn't know what to make of what he just heard from Zoey. "Vanessa must be in so much pain right now." He thought to himself."You can go, Alexander. I will handle everything from here," Elliott said, urging him to go with Zoey.With that, Alexander rushed to the vault where Vanessa was and his heart broke seeing her in so much pain."Al… Alexander," Vanessa called his name, crying. "I don't feel good."Getting closer to her, Vanessa held him so tight that he wished he could take her pains away totally. "Call the doctor, please," Vanessa pleaded, hitting her fist on the wall multiple times. "It hurt so much, Alexander," Vanessa sobbed, tears rolling down her cheek
Alexander rushed out to meet the doctors. He told them what was happening, and they had to rush in with him. He held on to Vanessa's hands."Alpha Alexander, Miss Vanessa is in labour, I think you will have to excuse us," one of the doctors said.But Vanessa squeezed Alexander's hands tight. "Please, don't leave me, Alexander," she cried.Even though, Alexander didn't want to leave Vanessa's side. He had to do what the doctors said. "I'm not leaving you, Vanessa. I'm just going to wait outside for a while," he said.Vanessa's grip on his hand tightened, and her eyes was filled with panic. "Please don't go," she begged, her voice trembling. "I want you here with me."Alexander's heart broke at the sight of her, and he knew he couldn't leave her like that. "But that's what the doctors want," he said."Fine, you can stay, Alpha Alexander," the doctor said. "But many men tend to faint when watching their wives give birth.""That can't be me," Alexander said boastfully.Alexander stood by
Doctor Margaret gently placed the baby on Vanessa's chest, and to her surprise, it was a boy. Vanessa's breath was caught in her throat as he looked at him. Her little pup was perfect with tiny fingers and toes, and a head full of soft hair. She couldn't take her eyes away from him."Where is Alexander?" She asked and looked around. "Well, Alpha Alexander fainted earlier after seeing the baby covered in blood, but he's stable now," Doctor Margaret said.Just then, Alexander walked into the room. Vanessa looked up at him, her eyes filled with joy. "We did it, Alexander. We brought our pup into the world."Alexander leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I'm so proud of you, my love. I trust you, you are incredible." He knew the war was far from over, but at least he was happy that they had something to look at and smile about.Alexander then took the baby from Vanessa's hand and held him close to his chest. "Welcome to the world, little one," he whispered.Finally, all t
"What happened?" Alexander asked in frustration."The f*ck just happened here," Elliott uttered.Elliott's thought drifted to the way he fought the man; he knew he wouldn't be that strong enough to escape the cell. But he was speechless to see that he had escaped.They left the cell and headed back to the convocation hall, where the pack elders were already waiting for them."Welcome, Alpha Alexander," They all stood up to greet him before taking their seats.Alexander could tell that they had already made a decision and were just waiting for someone to reveal it. "It looks like y'all have something to say, judging from the way you are," Alexander said out loudly. "Go on and say it.""We could deduce that the Blackwood pack was involved in this fire incident. We think we should also send a warning to them," one of the elders said. "We can't just sit down and watch the Blackwood pack threaten us from time to time."Alexander knew that what the elders said were true, but he had his rese
"Veronica…" Vanessa sighed, taking her hand in hers. "I don't want you to feel like you are alone. You can always reach out to me for support, I promise I will always be here for you," Vanessa assured her, and Veronica gave her a small, heartwarming smile. Vanessa had no idea she would ever be this way with Veronica. She initially saw her as some spoil brat who only wanted to be the Luna.But now, she thought that she had misjudged her. Looking at her, she could easily tell that Veronica was falling into a depressive state."Vanessa, I know you are kind and understanding. You are a mother now, and I believe you would understand me best. I don't want to hide this from you. I acknowledge the fact that Elliott is in love with Zoey," Veronica began.Vanessa wished Veronica didn't bring this up; she really didn't want to talk about it with her."I know that if he was given the opportunity, he would most definitely reverse time and change the situation. But we can't, so it's best to just a
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
