There were a lot of emotions cramped in the room. From shock, to and and disbelief. Lucas and Liam sat in the dimly lit room. The curtains were closed and every opening of the basement room was locked to prevent anybody from hearing or knowing that they were even there. They were dealing with a very fragile situation, one that required total silence, concentration being away from the world. They were in the basement the Packhouse, looking at the letter which had arrived some days ago. And the words in the letter just told them what exactly they needed to hear. Elara's involvement in the whole thing just told him how blind they had been the whole time. He wondered why they hadn't even arrested her at first. But he knew that things were already OK. There were no more killings or strange events for two days now and he was very happy about it. They knew, however, that they still had to watch the Pack for some time before concluding that everything was really ok. In the meantime they h
Blood gushed out of Orfilia's abdomen as she ran through the alleyways. Her hand tightly clasped on the wound in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding. The pain was excruciating, but she kept running, not wanting to slow down, fearing her pursuers were closing in on her.As she ran, she could feel her blood soaking her clothes, her fingers slipping on the slippery warm liquid. The world around her started to spin, and her vision blurred. She staggered, her steps faltering as she tried to regain her balance, but the pain was too much. Her breaths were shallow, and her heart was beating fast, and she knew she was losing a lot of blood.The sound of her frantic footsteps echoing loudly against the brick walls. She could hear the heavy thud of footsteps behind her, getting closer with each passing second. The sound of their boots hitting the ground in unison was a steady rhythm that sent chills down her spine.Their voices filled with a mix of anger and frustration. Their words were muffl
The idea of marrying them, let alone werewolves, was ridiculous to her. She felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest as she stood up abruptly, her eyes wide with panic. She lunged for the door, but her attempt to escape was in vain as Lucien quickly caught her and pulled her back. She screamed and thrashed about, not caring that her already bandaged wound had started bleeding again.She wanted nothing more than to get away from the triplets, and her desperation only grew as they held her tighter.Orfilia's hands grasped for anything that could help her escape, and she threw whatever she could lay her hands on, hoping that she could create enough chaos to make a run for it. Her movements were frantic, and her breathing was ragged as she fought against the triplets, but they were too strong for her.She kept struggling, not even caring that she was hurting herself in the process, but Lucien held on to her tighter and immobilized her with the help of his brothers.Her
Orfilia’s eyes scanned the contract that was placed before her, taking note of every word on the paper. She would glance up from time to time to look at the triplets sitting across from her, who all seemed calm and collected.Her eyes would drift over to the triplets, who were still watching her intently. She felt their eyes on her, which only made her feel more nervous.As Orfilia clicked the pen on the table, the sound echoed through the room. It was a sharp, staccato sound that seemed to punctuate each sentence of the contract she was reading. The clicking was persistent and rhythmic, almost like a metronome, creating a sense of tension in the room.Her eyes drifted back to the contract, and she read it again, taking in every detail. She knew that she was making a deal with the devil, but she had no other choice. She couldn’t back out now, even if she wanted to.Orfilia took a deep breath and placed the contract on the table in front of her, adjusting her grip on the pen. She hesit
A phone call interrupted their conversation. Liam picked it up and motioned for his brothers to be quiet. He frowned when he saw the caller's identity. It was Mark, their right hand man. Mark was tested and trusted, after working with them for years. Actually, he had worked for their parents and now, he was at the service of the triplets. Liam was confused as to what Mark was calling. They had already spoken earlier in the day and they had given him the instructions to carry out. “What is it, Mark? I'm actually really busy-"“Boss, there's a problem." Color drained from Liam's face and he sat upright in his chair.“What is it, Mark? What's going on?" His brothers noted the urgency in his voice and became alerted. “What is it?" Lucien asked him. Liam signaled for him to wait. He then put the phone on the loudspeaker. “Mark, talk to me! " “Boss, the warehouse has been attacked. All the goods have been destroyed and someone tried to set it on fire but luckily, we put it out on ti
“Don’t you think we should confront her to know what she heard?” Lucien asked after a few minutes of silence, running his hand through his wavy blond hair. “Do we need to?” Lucas was feeling irritated already. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re becoming attached to our dear Ms. Orfilia, Lucien.” “Lucien is right, Lucas.” We need to make sure she doesn’t feel hurt or feel unwanted enough to run away.” Liam pointed out.Lucas groaned. “Why would she? She’s going to get paid for her troubles, I don’t think she’s going to give that up.” “If we don’t make her feel comfortable, she’s going to leave. We need her, not the other way round.” Lucien added, slightly irritated at his brother. Liam straightened his suit as he sat down on the couch. “While we don’t know anything about her yet, if we want to gain her trust, we need to give her something in return. We can start by telling her what the doctor said about our condition and—“Lucas growled in a low menacing tone, cutting Lia
The moon hung high in the night sky, there was a full moon tonight and it cast an ethereal glow over the high-rise building next to the mildly dense forest surrounded by several mountains. Three werewolves emerged from below, making their way to the top of the mountain, their eyes blazing with fury and a fierce desire for revenge. Lucien, Liam, and Lucas were the leaders of the Fuller Pack with Lucien as the outright Alpha, their territory encompassing nearly half of the state’s land mass. The distress call from one of their subsidiaries had come in a little too late, by the time reinforcements had gotten there, there was nothing left. Every building had either been torn down or burnt. Dead bodies of different wolves littered every corner, the few who managed to survive wouldn’t survive the night. Lucien was beside himself with anger, he couldn’t believe the Dundalk Pack had declared war on the Fuller Pack and their allies. He had always ignored their advances, they were a small pa
“Fasten your seatbelt, miss.”Orfilia took a quick glance Mr. Gerald before doing as ordered. He sounded different from the jovial butler she had come to know him as. If the Fuller brothers had placed her in his care, it could only mean he was capable of protecting her. The black car, a sleek and powerful machine accelerated towards them, darting past the unsuspecting drivers, leaving a number of them startled as the car drove past them. “Hold on, miss.” Mr. Gerald said, gripping the steering with his white knuckles, as his face squeezed with determination focused on the road ahead. He stepped down hard on the accelerator, the engine roaring to life as he weaved through the cars ahead, eager to outrun the predator chasing them. The chase entered a whole new dimension as they raced into the city, both drivers shifting gears and taking their cars to the limit. Tires screeched on asphalt, as Mr. Gerald skillfully maneuvered his way through the populated streets, dodging cars and uns

Thr sun was starting to rise from the horizon when Lucien woke up. He was very tired but he knew he couldn’t not waste any more time. He had things to do and wasting wasn't one of them. Thankfully he had found the potion the previous day. He wondered how he had forgotten about it when it was the most important thing in the mission besides the map. He felt so stupid and berated himself mentally after finding out that that was the only thing holding back their mission. He had seen how vexed his guard was over what was going on but he didn't say anything. The guard looked quite frustrated and Lucien could tell that the guard was gradually getting tired of the mission.It was almost a week that they had been in the wild, travelling to get to the location. Well, he hoped that this would change a lot of things and they wouldkl be able to find the abductor and release Orphillia. He wanted to go for a run in the woods but he said no, not when the potion was around. He didn't trust anybody,
Lucien woke the next day with a very happy look on his face. He knew that their mission was going to come to an end soon but he was also aware that this was even the hardest part of the journey, defeating the abductor and taking Orphillia back. He remembered every signal advice he had gotten before he began to make his way here. He didn't forget any of them and had lived by the word since then. They had served him well though. He was also proud of himself that he had thought outfield thr bo in one of those occasions and spotted that the first guard was different. That was how he had been able to defeat the enemy that was sent to kill him but the other guard helped him as well. He slowly roused from the floor where he had passed out last night and looked around. He saw the guard in the distance. He was hunched over a fire, not moving at all. The morning was still very cold and a sbti dark also. The guard turned around, seeing that he was awake. "How is it going?" The guard greeted h
Without wasting more time, Alaric immediately held her and moved her towards the chair that was already waiting at the side of the room. He immediately placed her on the chair and began to tie her with the ropes he had gotten. He made sure to tie her so tightly that she wouldn't be able to shift at all if she tried to. The chair was connected to a very strong platform that would guarantee she could not move or fall if she wanted to. He wanted to keep her immobile and if it required killing her, then he wouldn't have much headache getting it done quickly. At the same time he wondered how he had become evil all of a sudden. But he knew it wasn't his fault. It was the case he was after. He wanted her all to himself but things didn't go the way he wanted, so he was going to make sure everyone else felt the same pain he had been going through and the ones he would go through if he lost everything. He walked out of the room and locked it immediately, shutting off the emotions and the sen
Orphillia knew damn well that Alaric had lost his senses the moment she woke up to hearing some sounds in the living room. She left her room immediately and began to walk towards the direction of the sound, her heart beat getting more and more louder as she neared the sound. That's when she peeked, hiding by the other side of the wall and hoping he wouldn't see her. He was walking around the living room with a very bad look that suggested he was in some sort of trouble. She thought about the evil Alphas he had told her about and wondered if they were the reason he couldn't even get a good night's rest. He was always walking around looking so worried and getting pissed by the smallest things. She had no idea what was happening to him and hoped that he would recover from whatever it was he was going through at the moment. But at the same time she knew that he couldn't recover from it all alone. Maybe he needed some help, she thought. But when she thought about that, she remembered ti
A few Pack members were walking down the mansion mansion they heard a thud. Wanting to know what it was, they rushed towards the scene immediately, curious to know what had fallen and what they saw shocked them.They began to scream when they realised that someone had fallen on the ground and it had culminated in a very bloody and gory scene. She looked so broken so various parts of her body stuck out in unnatural and awkward angles. Her neck was twisted and it hung loose from the rest of her body. Hearing the screams, one of the guards immediately rushed towards the screen with a very worried look on his face and as soon as he saw the body, the other guards around were alerted to the scene immediately. The guards were very shocked as they saw the scene. They immediately altered the two Alphas who were in the living room, discussing. "Alpha," the guard rasped as he ran into the room, his voice shaking. They immediately stopped what they were doing and listened to the guard. "It's
"So nobody knows the name of this man, not even his workers? Must be quite mysterious indeed" Liam asked, looking worried as he tried to remember anything like that. He felt as if he had been told about it before but he remembered nothing. He simply gave up, looking very worried."And that reminds me, Lucas." They communicated through the mindlink now, wanting to keep some of the things they said secret."I remember the general had gone with some guards to the inn on that day, do you remember him saying anything that must give us a clue as to what this man's name is?" He asked his brother. But Lucas said no. "I mean if the general said anything you should have even recorded it right?" Lucas replied after shaking his head.They continued to stand there, each of them thinking about the things that were happening before them. He was happy that they were getting somewhere at least. Lucas knew that the Inn was a place where a lot of people gathered everyday, and he also knew that connectio
The reality of the situation soon spread among the guards there. They were quite shocked at what was happening and wondered if there was any way things could be resolved quickly. Lance, who had caught the courier, was the first person who seemed to suggest something about it. The other few guards who were with him seemed to be confused about what to do. He strictly informed his fellow guards to say nothing about what had happened to anybody until it was resolved. After that he decided that the best action would be to take the matter up to the Alphas and see what they were going to do about it. "So what is it going to be?" The other guards asked, as soon as each and everyone of them noticed what was happening. "I am taking both to the Alpha as proof. And once he confesses, we will see what the Alphas will do about it. I think that's all we need to do now." He said, sounding very tense. "Don't you think you might be disturbing? It's late already. You wouldn't want to-" one of the gu
Alaric was deeply worried as he stared in the living room, his head buried in thoughts as he thought about the things that had been going on lately. He was very worried about a lot of things and wished he could just get his kind off them but it seemed impossible. He couldn't understand why things were happening this way but he knew he had to endure every moment of it and look for answers. But the strange thing was that he had been looking for answers for days now and he had not yet found any. The death of the Seer couldn't be explained till this moment. He wondered what might have brought about that, if he had been attacked or something relating to it, but he still got no answers. Every now and then, he sensed Orphillia's presence behind him. He knew she was probably wondering why he was feeling that way, why he was moody all the time. He had already gotten over her behavior which he found quite annoying. He wished she could just chill and stop proving him with her worried looks an
