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
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
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
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
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
“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 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
Vanessa came out of the bathroom very excited, her hair neatly combed. It was her eighteenth birthday, and she couldn’t wait to celebrate with her family and friends.Vanessa was like any other youthful werewolf, eagerly anticipating the moment she would meet her fated mate. Her parents, Craig and Yvette, had told her that it was customary among werewolves to meet their fated mate upon reaching eighteen.All of a sudden, Vanessa could hear loud growls and howls from outside. She got afraid immediately. She could sense a looming danger. Before she could understand what exactly was going on, her mother barged into her room.Vanessa hastily asked her mother, “Mum, what’s going on out there?”“We need to leave now; it’s unsafe here currently,” Yvette, her mother, replied immediately. “Hurry up, Vanessa! We need to look for a place to hide for now,” Yvette stressed.Vanessa and her mother ran through the growing chaos. Snarling and howling grew louder as smoke rose in the distance, a resul
