Richard's POVThe meeting room was silent. There were few murmurs of conversation within the elders but in a very low voice. The recent rogue attack had shaken everyone, and with the deaths of several elders, the pack was more vulnerable than it had been in years. Two rogue attacks in just a few months. I sat close to Elder Joseph close to the door and watched as Beta Conor, Zeta Jamie, and Gamma Hilliard came in and took their seats at the large, oval table. We all knew we had to name a new Alpha as soon as possible. The council knows the pack can't survive without a new Alpha with the threat of more rogue attacks. Rogues and rival packs like targeting packs that were vulnerable like ours. Especially knowing the fact that our pack, Shadow Pack, was one of the wealthiest packs around. The land was fertile, we had Precious stones and the pack business that has been built for generations. I and Julia had been making plans for a long while to make Alex the Alpha of this Pack but he was
Alex's POVThe basement walls seemed to close in around me as I was punching hard at the punching bag. The hitting of my fists echoed in the room, the result of the relentless thoughts that had been keeping me awake for days. Every hit was fueled by the image of Alexis, taken forcefully by Alpha Kane. The thought of her alone, scared, and in danger made my blood boil. I hadn’t slept properly since that day, the day he took her from me. Sweat dripped down my brow, stinging my eyes, but I didn’t care. I felt the burn in my muscles, the ache in my bones. It was working at distracting me from the fear that I might lose her forever. The punching bag swayed at every hit, its chains rattling, but I kept going. This was the only way I could channel the anger, the frustration that had been building up inside me, threatening to explode.The sound of my fist hitting the bag was still echoing through the room, sharp and clear, like the ringing of a bell. It didn't help me much because my thought
Richard's POV I always knew Alex could be bossy, sensitive and impatient when things weren't going his way, but I never knew he was this stupid. Acting up like a kid whose candy was taken. Barging into the council meeting just like that was an idiotic move. He keeps sniffling around trying to uncover secrets of the past. He was going to ruin a plan that had been in motion for years now. I left him and walked back to the Meeting room.I pushed open the door to the meeting room, the familiar creak of the old wood somehow more irritating than usual. The meeting was still going on, and the tension in the air was pretty obvious. I could feel the eyes of the elders' gazes on me as I stepped back inside, the door closing behind me with a dull thud. Elder Joseph was in the middle of a sentence. “...but the question remains: who is best suited to lead our pack through this crisis? We can’t afford to make the wrong decision.”I took my seat, nodding at Joseph to acknowledge his point. But int
Alexis's POV The morning rays of light came through the small window in the room. The walls around me were cold and a constant reminder that I was still locked up. I hadn’t had a decent night's sleep since Alpha Kane had taken me. My body ached from the bad bed I was forced to sleep on, and my mind was all jumbled up. Days went by and I couldn't even keep track of it. The routine never changed. The maid still brought me breakfast, lunch and dinner and still never spoke a word to me. I felt filthy. No one spoke to me. No one acknowledged my presence. They only brought me food and water like that was all that mattered. When the door creaked open that morning, I almost didn’t look up. I assumed it was the maid bringing in food, I was used to it and I had grown tired of the routine. But something about the way the door opened, the maid stepped in without carrying a tray of food and that caught my attention. I raised my head, and to my surprise, the maid stepped into the room. For the f
Alpha Kane's POV After leaving Alexis’s room, a strange sense of satisfaction lingered in me. The girl had spirit; I had to give her that. Her boldness, and her attempts at standing up to me, only amused me. I wasn’t surprised when she tried to kick me before, but the fire in her eyes was something I had never expected. It made her all the more interesting, all the more desirable. She reminds me of Amy. Every move of hers reminds me of Amy. While I made my way to my study, I couldn’t help but think of the possibilities. Alexis was strong-willed, yes, but that fire could be tamed. Or, better yet, it could be harnessed. She would make an excellent mate—my Luna If she shares the same goals with me. She might not end up like Amy. The thought brought a smile to my lips. In time, she would see things my way. Pushing open the door to my study, I walked over to the large, dark mahogany desk that was in the room. The scent of polished wood and leather filled the air. I sank into the high-b
Alpha Kane's POV Days have gone by with no news from Richard and no update from our informant. Running the pack has been smooth these days and peaceful. The Nightwolf Pack was smaller compared to the Shadow Pack. I had sent business proposals to Alpha Kent before he died but he rejected it all. He said he wanted nothing to do with our pack and he didn't say why. I knew it was rumours about how I came to be the Alpha of the Nightwolf Pack.All these would change once Alex becomes the Alpha of Shadow Pack. He will be a puppet and just a show face to the pack members. Richard would be doing most of it in the background and he has promised me a lot of deals once Alex becomes the Alpha. Part of the reason I accepted Alexis was when Richard proposed to her being mated to me.Oh Damn! I have been avoiding thinking about her. I'm obsessing and lusting over her. I closed my eyes and pictured things. My dick was getting hard.Fuck!Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I was in the living room
Alpha Kane’s POVI grabbed her hips and lifted her onto the table. I pulled her closer so her pussy was closed at the edge, and so I went back to my knees. I’m in the perfect position to devour her.I hooked her knees over my shoulders, wasting no time as I set my mouth on her pussy. She fell back, her fingers running through my hair as I ate her pussy. “Fuck,” I growl against her swollen flesh. “You taste good.” I lick up her clitoris.She pulled me, my face closer to hers and grabbed my lips. Tasting herself. I smiled at her need for me as hungry as mine is for her, and unleashed myself on her.“Kane!” she gasped as I fucked her pussy with my tongue again. I drew back only slightly, sliding two fingers again inside her and thrusting in and out as I sucked her clitoris with my mouth. Her thighs tightened around me as her breathing went wild. A tremor racks her body as she comes apart with my name on her lips.When I was satisfied with that, I planted a gentle kiss on her pussy, and p
Alexis's POV The soft rustling sound of curtains being drawn aside, letting in the early morning light woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly, my heart sinking as I looked around hoping I was back to my parent's house. This room was different from my room back at home. The room felt suffocating. The ceiling was high, the furniture too fancy and the tapestries too elaborate. I have been here for what felt like forever. I still couldn't leave the room. Every day felt the same, except for when my personal maid, Elara, came and went. She wasn't really saying much, probably feeling Alpha Kane might find out. Elara was like a puzzle to me. She was kind and reserved. Also very polite and gentle. She doesn't talk much and won't go deep when asked questions. I can't help but wonder why and if she chose to be here or forced to be here.“Good morning, Miss Alexis,” Elara said, as she opened the windows. The sunlight streamed into the room, casting a long shadow on the polished floor. “It’s a be
