CHAPTER 72 - AWAKEN

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-16 04:19:22
*CURTIS POV*

Floating around a dark space for months had my mind frazzled. I awaken in an unknown setting, staring at the perforated metal ceiling tiles of white-painted galvanized steel. The same ones that met my vision each time I regained consciousness. I surveyed my room and slipped right back into the darkness. My body was not able to maintain being awake for an extended period.

My healing progress has been extremely slow. I am quite sure that days have passed, maybe weeks. Time was something that I could not keep up with. Not until I was fully recovered to maintain my consciousness and get out of this bed. I prayed that today was that day.

The beeping of the monitor and the equipment in the modular ward indicated that I was in a hospital. I swore that I had died and gone to werewolf heaven as the fuzzy recollections began to come together in my head. Gradually, I try to comprehend, but it will take time.

My name is Curtis Black, so at least I know who I am. I think about my p

    -VANCE’S POV* The big day had arrived. The white clouds drifted lazily in the soft breeze at midday, dabbing the azure sky and blazing with the fire of the lucent sun to commemorate the day's auspiciousness. Today, one hundred and twenty-eight people will join our pack after multiple postponements. Everyone except Sianna was present for the ceremony, which was scheduled to begin in half an hour. At my side, standing to receive our newest members is where she should be, yet she was avoiding me still. Threatening to cut all ties with me. Living at the pack house was absurd and miserable. In my opinion, her attitude was overdramatized. Every day, my thoughts sank me into the quicksand of our rifted relationship. But today compelled me to focus on this momentous occasion. Cleopatra had sent messengers to the rest of the rogues in the Regant Mountains to come to the territory. They stood here before me in our temple. The Elders and I were dressed in our ceremonial robes at the Ritual

    *VANCE’S POV* This was just fucking ridiculous! It’s been three months and I can’t go home yet. Sianna is being hard-headed and point-blank unreasonable. I did not have sex with anyone. I have been faithful to her since I found her to be my fated one. I drove my fist through the television screen and kicked the half-broken couch through the window, breaking the glass panes. This was the last thing in my room at the pack house that was not damaged. Winter had come and gone. Even so, my fill was unsatisfied. At this rate, I was certain to completely wreck the entire pack house. Searching in the room for something else to smash, but everything was already demolished. Can I blow up something? Or can I simply end this damnable world? My rage will not subdue and it was rotating within me to develop into a full-fledged tropical cyclone. I was overworked and drinking like a damn alcoholic. This was bringing me to a breaking point where I just want to storm over there, tie her to the bedpos

    *VANCE’S POV* She was startled to see me standing directly in front of her and immediately recovered, "Shhhh!" The brazenness caused my eyes to widen. Should I consent to this? The infant clung to her breast, sucking it. Those same smooth, soft, and busty breasts that I missed. What did she mean by, shhh? Stiffening my muscles and clenching my hands into fists, I held them to my mouth to muffle and suffocate the outrage brooding inside my gut. "Sianna, what the hell?" I could not just stand there and be quiet. "Be quiet, Vance." She whisper yelled through gritted teeth. With austere eyes shooting invisible bullets at my resolve. “Be quiet you say? Why the hell should I be quiet when you are sharing what’s mine?!” The unraveling began on the frail strand of my control. Why was she suckling this child? Where did this baby come from? It was preposterous to come home after all the time we had spent apart and discover her with this child. This was a matter for us to discuss and deci

    *VANCE’S POV* Looking at me through her lashes, she released her mouth but instantly grabs my cock with a firm hand. Blood trickles down, my dick goes flaccid from the pain. This vicious woman! Blinking away the tears, my eyes flutter while glaring at her. “Why?” I mouthed, but no sound followed. “You think that you could just run off to fuck another woman and then come back waltzing in like you don’t have the sin to pay for?” She spat out, venting her built-up rage. Tonight I faced my biggest persecutor. Unable to retaliate for fear of hurting her, and damaging the chance to reconcile our relationship. It's valid that she felt this way, but surely I deserved a lesser judgment. My wolf and I felt ganged up. “What are you talking about?” Incoherent thoughts forced me to blank my mind as I was clueless about her allegations. Claws extended from the hand that was squeezing the life out of my cock. She slightly coils her claws so that her nail scrapes on my shaft. I clenched my teet

    *SIANNA’S POV* Between taking care of the baby and yesterday night's banging from Vance, I was exhausted. I had missed my mate's touch and being in his cozy embrace. It was thirteen minutes past ten in the morning when I awakened. Without a doubt, Vance had relocated me when I suddenly found myself in the master bedroom. I jolted up thinking about Valen, it was past his first feeding for the morning besides his bath. I am elated with the swoony sensation that Vance is home. It took him long enough. It was a devious scheme. Knowing how crazy he had become as a result of being away from me all those months, I chuckled. They say absence makes the heart grows fonder, and it needed to hit him hard so that he will never hurt us again. Inevitably, I predicted that he would have stormed his way into his home, and by that time, he would have learned the valuable lesson. When Sammy informed me that Vance had been tearing the pack house apart and snapping at everyone, I knew it was a matter o

    *CURTIS POV* “We all know of your mate’s crime.” Devyn would not shut up and kept running her mouth, “She is dead now.” She emptied the contents of her pouch, “Also the witch, Zelda.” My wolf was lamenting Jazmine's death. He's upset with me, and that's an understatement. To stop him from seeking retribution at the hands of Dark Wolverson, I spent the majority of the time fighting him off. I knew better than to charge into their territory and try to get that. Without effective plans in place, revenge was a sheer failure. And only one's cleverness can defeat an adversary who is more powerful and agile. I'm compared to the mouse going up against a dragon. If the dragon is intelligent, then the mouse will have to outwit him through the cracks and holes, but where the dragon was foolish, a coy mouse can easily maneuver and outsmart him. Vance was a smart, powerful, and ruthless dragon. ‘Kill them all,’ My wolf snarls around the clock. I ignore the feral wolf as I’m sitting deep in th

It’s been eight days since I traveled in my wolf form, trespassing and prowling through territories to make it here. I'm in another state and could lie low here. Having to skip two other towns so that I'm not easily reached, in case they send troops to scout for me. Satisfaction and gloat are at the base of my emotions because I eluded a grudgeful Alpha Virgil and a vindictive Beta Astrol. I trudge through the arid open land vetting the emptiness of this region. Houses appear to be far distant from little businesses of boxlike buildings. The rain had made itself a rare visitor as the land cries out for saturation. The cashmere scarf covered my nose and mouth as I scoped for abode through the dusty wind. More importantly, I got the vial and dagger from Devyn, who hates my guts now. Who cares about what she feels towards me? My heed was more devo

    *CURTIS POV* The bleak truth was revealed by her words. Because I did not need another blasted mate, I pushed my damn wolf back when I felt him speaking with me. Needless to say, one that was human and exiled from the werewolf kingdom. Resisting the sparks and the tug of the mate bond, I pushed her off gently. Taking the hint, she stepped back with scrutiny. “We are nothing,” I spat out, thinking that she was nothing special. “Do not expect anything of me.” Damn if I was going to let this feline divert me from my already-planned actions or hinder me from carrying them out. She scoffed with a godawful chuckle, “It’s not like I expected a mate either, but here……we…….are.” The emphasis on her words could not hide the contempt. The brunette returned with a bagged order and handed it to Gail, “Thanks, Gloria.” She hands over the money and pays for the meal. As I finished my meal, Gloria cleared my soiled plate and winked at me. She puts the dish into the sink behind her and wipes her

She raised a brow at me and sashayed her sexy body towards me.The conference was still going on and I couldn’t let them see her in that incredibly salacious lingerie, but I couldn’t take my heated eyes off her.“I came to join the meeting.” She teased in such a sexy way that made a growl slip from me.The soft lines of her hips and thighs had my cock stiffening in my pants. Her hips swayed in that sheer lingerie set in black lace with a crotchless G-string. The rosy nipples of her round breasts peeked through the matching bralette and a choker adorned her neck.The culmination of all my impulses was the need to latch onto those nipples with my lips, suck on them, and bite them down until she released that startled, demanding moan. My cock desired mainly one thing.Her.My addiction. I need to touc

A sigh of relief left me as I looked at my daughter who was back to her old self after receiving the antidote. A lot of love flowed through the room.It’s been two weeks since she has been comatose. Can you imagine how thrilled I was when my mate told me about the antidote to get all of the kripling’s blood out of her system? We arranged everything for the next day.Just the sight of my daughter was enough to clog my throat with tears. Mom’s slender hand was warmly in mine as Marlena and Miriam helped Venus awaken from her coma. Vance held my shoulders, standing behind me. Hailey chewed her nails, ruining her manicured fingers.“We’re almost done, princess,” Vance stated, nonc

Contrarily, I preferred to fix the rift between me and my Luna. There was no anger or burning sensation in the link of the mate bond, but it did not mean that she was not still upset with me.“No.” I finally answered him. “We killed their king and generals. The Supernatural Triad Council’s gatekeepers are searching for Squiggles.” I deciphered. “The werelions will be humbled by their loss and the drastic reduction in their population. It will take years before they wage war against us. It is at that time that my generation will eliminate them.”“All planned out, huh?” Blayne scowled with disappointment. Even with his limp, he managed to keep up with me.“Yep.” I dictated as we made it to the top and sniffed the air. My eyes narrowed slightly as my face wrinkled up. “You smell cheesy, Blayne.

Awe-inspiring scenery can be seen here thanks to the panoramic view of the horizon and the thundering waterfall to the right which plummets directly into the ocean.Given its natural beauty and the absence of unpleasant recollections of bloodshed, it would be a pity to tarnish the region's unblemished history today.It was the Black Ops Patrol Station at the end of Beacanview Forest that alerted Raj of our visitors. Undoubtedly, he must have gotten the word to Blayne, or maybe Blayne beat it out of him. Either way, he was not supposed to be working.“Oh damn!” I inspected my battered Gamma up and down before we went down the granite cliffside trail. “You look worse than Freddy Krueger.”My heart went out to him and, oh boy, I was thrilled that he was alive. Although, he was disobeying my orders.Blayne was in black gym shorts with his blistered top shi

Turns out that the kriplings only attacked us. The vampires and witches were not attacked.” Venus highlighted with her harlequin-green eyes fastened to the paper.“Who cares? Dad’s dealing with it.” Vaheed shrugged, finding his phone more entertaining.Venus was disturbed by his uncaring attitude. “Those things were pretty powerful and they hurt me. How can you say that?”Understanding that his words hurt his twin sister’s feelings, Vaheed put his phone on the table and patted her on the shoulder. “Vee, you are safe now. Dad will make sure that they don’t hurt us again.”Venus sighed, gulped down her dose of halo-moon serum from the vial on the table, and went back to flipping th

I turned around and picked up a magazine from the center table, blindly flipping over pages.“Well, aren’t you going to give it to me tonight?” Valen pressed with hands in his jeans pockets.“Why are you so eager?” I continued scrolling the page with brewing agitation. “Do you think we’ll go easy on you?”“It’s not that, Mom.” Valen approached the couch, sheepishly. “I just wanted to start it right now.”“Why?” I flipped my head around and turned my body on the couch to scrutinize his face properly.“My punishment will end on Friday and there’s a party at Benji’s house on Saturday,” Valen dared to mention, battling an inner monologue.I glared at him. “You have the gall to tell me that you intend to go to a party when your father has just brought you back from an unapproved outing.”“Go

He did not let me lash out at him for his recklessness.Automatically, I placed my hand over my heart. My entire body slumped in relief as I exhaled heavily. Still, he was going to get the hot seat.I sat in the living room on the long U-shape black leather couch with my head turned in his direction. “Valen, I can’t accept that apology until you explain to me what the hell was going through your head.”Vance stood by the Faux Marble White console table with a gold base, allowing me to handle our son's latest escapade. He would also feel the scourge of my tongue later.It was a little before sunset that Vance and the team went back to the aircraft carrier ship. The journey to Dark Wolverson was long from Oscianever Loch of the Pacific Ocean and so it was the next day in the afternoon when they arrived home.

    -VANCE’S POV-My razor-sharp teeth flashed through the cold smile that I sent to Assad when Raj kneed Tygart into his crotch. Tygart’s eyes went as round as saucers as he dropped his knife, protectively clutched both hands before his family jewels, and fell to his knees. He was as vulnerable as a newly hatched chick coming out of its shell.In a rapid dash, Raj picked up the weapon and slit his neck. Tygart fell on his side and clutched his blood-leaking throat as his life slipped away right before his king and brother.Assad wrestled like crazy to be freed from my grip to no avail. He was powerless and helpless. The defeat eliminated any spark in his orange eyes. “We surrender,” his voice was a hoarse croak.“It doesn’t work like that, trog.” I gritted to Assad as fury rose, burning through my veins.In the meantime, muscles bulged in Kodjo's pallid neck as he ground his teeth in frustration, refusing to relent. As the tenuous seconds ticked by, his breathing labored during the kickb
