Alexander grabbed two Blackwood warrior's head and pressed them together, growling in anger as their heads cracked and broke to pieces. He held the hand of another warrior and threw him up in the air before rushing to another and stabbing him in the chest with his claws.He grabbed his beating heart, pulled it out, and watched as he fell to the ground, never to wake again.He was about to face another one when he heard a loud growl behind him. He turned just in time as a dagger passed by his face, missing it by a hair's breadth. The dagger flew and got embedded into one of White Phoenix pack warriors, bringing him down instantly.With a loud growl, Alexander turned in the direction from which the dagger had come, and saw Lynx, his eyes cold and hostile.“Hello, old friend,” Lynx said as he shoved his claws into the chest of one of White Phoenix pack warrior. “I’ve come for another visit.”“One that will be your last,” Alexander said as he, without hesitating, rushed at Lynx. “Come on
Four days ago…“Veronica, would you calm down!” Vanessa exclaimed.“No, I can't calm down. I'm f*cking hyperventilating in here. Why do we have to be here anyway? They are at the pack borders,” Veronica complained.“Veronica, can you just shut up for a few minutes please?” Zoey begged, trying to hold on to her anger and frustration. Zoey thought of how calm she had become, otherwise she would have punched her right in the face.Suddenly, Jasper approached them. “What’s going on?” Vanessa was quick to ask, as though she was sensing some sort of danger.“I need Doctor Margaret. There was a bomb blast at the battlefield, and Alpha Alexander and the Beta of Northpack were amidst. And I heard that one of them…”“Oh, my goodness!” All of them blurted out immediately.Vanessa had tears in her eyes, but she immediately blinked them away. “I'm going to the pack borders with Doctor Margaret,” Vanessa said as she swiftly stood up.They all got out of the underground safehouse together, and Vane
Vanessa received a phone call from an unknown person. “Your pup is at the underground safehouse,” the person said through the phone. “If you value your pup's life, go there alone.” Before Vanessa could say anything, the person cut the call.Vanessa immediately rushed out of the chamber, and headed to the underground safehouse. She saw Jasper in the hallway.“Any problem?” Jasper asked as he noticed that Vanessa was looking tense.“No, not at all,” Vanessa replied, and hurried past Jasper.However, Jasper could sense that something was not right. He secretly followed Vanessa without Vanessa knowing.Vanessa arrived at the underground safehouse and immediately went in. The first thing she saw was Arthur on the floor of the safehouse. “Arthur,” she called as she immediately ran towards him and picked him up. She couldn't hold back the tears as she saw how pale and weak Arthur looked.Suddenly, Xerxes emerged from the shadows after noticing that Vanessa was alone. “I only took him to sav
Xerxes woke up with lots of aches in various parts of his body. Just then, there was a sound– the sound of the dungeon gates opening. He looked up to find Veronica's silhouette standing there. “You look terrible,” Veronica said as she entered the cell. Her steps echoed against the hard stone floor. Xerxes slowly turned his head to look at her, his eyes squinting in the low light. His vision was still blurry from sleep and the pain, and so everything looked fuzzy and out of focus to him.“My apologies for any pain or suffering my husband has caused you,” Veronica said, a hint of pride in her voice.Xerxes scoffed at her comment. “Your husband? You mean Elliott? Zoey's mate, whom you are trying to hold down with a pup that isn't his?”“What the hell are you talking about?” Veronica said, her tone heightening, and Xerxes could see panic in her eyes. Her hands trembled, and a smirk appeared on Xerxes' lips.“You know I work for Lynx to give him information on every single soul in this pa
After Xerxes had left with Arthur that day, Zoey waited for a little while before making her escape. She got to the door, but found it locked. She then chose to jump over the window, which she did, and she made her escape.She had just gotten to a hill in the middle of the forest when someone grabbed her from behind, and began dragging her away. She screamed and bit the abductor's hand with all the strength left in her, and she could taste blood. Just then, she felt the abductor hit something hard against her head, and she fell unconscious.Zoey's eyes flickered opened and she struggled to adjust to the blinding brightness that surrounded her. Slowly, she sat up, feeling the stiffness in her body. She felt like she had been asleep for over a decade.As she surveyed her surroundings, expecting to be back in the old shack, she realized that she was in some sort of a rundown building, resembling a small hurt.She pushed herself up from the worn-out mat she had been lying on, and made her
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
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
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
