Chapter 42: “Don't ignore me, Annatoria!”Unfortunately, Radolf met the worst he never expected. He'd known he was going to eventually find a secret about Loreen but he never expected that secret to be this dreadful. As he heard the man speak, his heart raced as he felt a pang in his chest. Goosebumps appeared on his skin as his wolf fumed from within. Why was he suddenly feeling guilty? He'd never felt guilty about losing Annatoria but, why now?His eyes anger-red and his jaws clevhed, he pronounced “I'll kill that bastard!" The wizard smiled widely, as though he was mocking Radolf.Not even the person Radolf’s most respected was ever going to save her from him. “I, Garcia, was the wizard who conducted the charm activation. I had one of our old relics become a duplicate of Annatoria's appearance so that Loreen could use it. I did it because you didn't deserve Annatoria, not because of Loreen!" His mind drifted back to the time the man confessed, unbothered.“You bastard!," The m
Chapter 43: Escaping Vengeance. “Where's Loreen?!" Radolf yelled angrily as soon as he got to the pack house. His hair looking unkempt, his trousers dirty, and he was looking all drained. He was heading to the chamber room and when he was there, he barged in.“What's the problem?" Loreen’s eyes met his while she spoke softly, fear dominating her mind as she watched him burn in anger. Radolf had left the pack for days and when he finally returned, it was with an angry expression. “You demon!" Radolf fumed, his stare piercing right through her soul. On his face, was hatred and resentment boldly written. “You thought I wouldn't find out, right?’ Radolf scoffed, his eyes glued to Loreen's. At that rate, he could strangle her. "Find what?” She questioned, but before Radolf could speak, an urgent call interrupted him. The tension broke, leaving Loreen's eyes bulged out of their sockets, her veins appearing more evident on her forehead. “Has he found out?" Her wolf whispered from wi
Chapter 44: The Hidden Scheme.It turned out after Asher and Annatoria's thorough reason, that Manga was the one behind the anonymous letters. They'd confirmed through Gremory who was ready to do anything just for blood that he needed.“We also have to eliminate Gremory after using him. He's of danger to the humans in this city and someone like Radolf must not meet him." Annatoria said to Asher. “How do we catch him?" Asher mind-linked Annatoria even when she was beside him. Asher had become so obsessed with her that even when she was beside him, he felt like he was missing her and needed more of her. “We’ll use Gremory. We know Manga is such a dirty beast who'd do anything for power and revenge" Annatoria responded but soon stopped when she caught Asher staring so hard at her. “While Gremory seems to be a cunning creature. He's the perfect fit” Asher completed it, smiling at her. “Stop it, Asher" Annatoria playfully responded, rolling her eyes. Their plan seemed to be perfect
Chapter 45: Unwanted truth. Radolf had been on flames since Loreen escaped the pack, since she escaped his wrath. He badly craved to punish her for her sins. A sudden hatred for her was implanted in his heart since her secret was exposed. He hated himself more for letting her go. “Sir, we couldn't find her. There were no traces at the place you asked us to stand by and search" His head of guards reported. Radolf, in anger, thrusted his claws into the guard's chest.The guard instantly felt on his knees, his eyes almost falling out as he gasped for breath. When Radolf finally pulled his hand and heart out, blood rushed out through the lifeless soldier’s mouth. He dropped dead on the floor, and then, the tension become palpable. The other soldiers were scared to death as they watched Radolf's heartless and merciless act. “Bring her to me!" Radolf roared, then, they all bowed their heads and ran out. Radolf screamed his frustration and fury, his voice echoed through the whole co
Chapter 46: Her Long-Lost Brother. Radolf's POVAs I watched Ernoulf shed tears whilst he made his birthday wish, I had to look strong and fight the tears from falling off my face. I felt so guilty for depriving such a young boy of his motherly love but, the deed had been done.My eyes shone in surprise when I heard Mario was back already. He was back earlier than I expected but, that wasn't the main point. “What did you wish for your birthday?" I overheard Isabella asking Ernoulf. The two had become so close within the space or time frame of three years that one would think Isabella was his Mother and saying Isabella and Annatoria weren't friends sounded more absurd. Isabella had finally stepped down as my Gammer and she took over as my boy's nanny. The two were best friends. “Do you really want to know?" Ernoulf smiled innocently. As long as he's happy, I'm okay with everything. I felt like a traitor watching him cry over a reason that everyone knew.I got up and made my way
Chapter 47: Secrets, Lust, Lies, and Bonding. The next day….“Ernoulf, you're all grown" Mario smiled, running his fingers through the little boys hair. “What were you expecting?" Radolf scoffed playfully. "What's your take on the matter now? I heard Loreen escaped” Mario said casually, his words empty of emotions. "I've let her be but, nothing will ever succeed in changing my mind” He answered. "She deserves to die and I support it!” Mario pretended to be concerned. “I can perceive Aunt Loreen's scent on you," Ernoulf spoke, as soon as Mario's hand crossed his- Ernoulf's nose)“What? What do you mean?" Mario stammered, blinking as he was caught off guard.“I perceive her scent. Daddy, can't you perceive it?" Ernoulf asked his Father. “Y…you can perceive scents?" Radolf slowly asked the boy who remained adamant. "Yes Father. I unlocked three of my abilities yesterday”Ernoulf replied his Father seriously…A shiver of unease gripped Mario as he was about to be exposed. “I…I tou
Chapter 48: Reunion of Lies. Annatoria kept running deeper into the woods, until her mind suddenly travelled back to when she secretly watched her Father cough out blood while Radolf backed away from the scene. Her speed increased as she felt she was going nuts. It was a feeling of guilt, pain and the worst she couldn't explain. It was a moment she never opened her mouth to share with anyone. She left it inside her to rot but, it wasn't rotting. It was only haunting her every now and then that she recalled that scene. She always felt her mind suddenly drawn back to that scene. Her head was aching as different whispers collided in her world. She sat on the ground, her head buried between her knees as she tried to calm her brain, her hands shaking as she grabbed her head.… the sounds and whispers terrified her as she kept panting. “Annatoria," Asher called her name as he abruptly touched her shoulder. Instantly, she jolted out of the temporary madness that was gradually taking
Chapter 49: Thing of the Past. “Have I become so invisible?" Candace muttered as soon as Radolf went out of his room and headed straight to the dining room for breakfast. She'd waited for hours outside the door since he brought the new rule of no one except the cleaners going into his room. She had to stand outside, holding his breakfast tea. Ever since Loreen escaped, he no longer spared a glance at her. No matter how seductive and sexy she dressed, he passed like she was some mere commodity. He behaved like a blind man whenever she was around him…..even though her cleavage was fully exposed. Her cleavage was the part that always made him crazy but, it was no longer enticing him. “It's Espresso, Alpha" She smiled, stretching forward the tea tray to him while she bowed her head as low as she could, just to make sure she revealed her cleavage. “I don't want it," Radolf scoffed, then, made his way to the dining room. What exactly didn't he want? Was it her or the tea? On a norm
Chapter 67: The Future Is Coming. “I order you to be mute!” He commanded furiously. His voice had already changed and he was sounding like the Beta he truly was. Katherine's eyes shone in shock as she heard his thunderous voice for the very first time. She was shocked that she shrunk in fear, forgetting she ever liked him. "Leave and never come back to fool yourself before me” He said in the same tone. It was casual yet, authority-filled. ***Manga stood before his mirror, examining every single feature of his face. His well-carved jaw and the terrible scar left on his face by his wicked Uncle who he once loved—the one who had left him holding onto a thin line of life. Things were no longer working the way he planned. He once used to be the most feared and powerful Manga but now, no one even remembered his name. He'd become as useless as a rag no one regarded. He couldn't go out in broad daylight just to avoid being attacked. As a wolf, he was powerless and even as a human,
Chapter 66: I Love You. Finally! It's been 2 weeks since the whole commotion about Mario's death happened. Something wasn't clear to Radolf. How did they get his body?! He was killed outside the city but, how did his body reach his family at Russia? It was a question he couldn't ask Madam Elise. This matter gave Radolf many sleepless nights as he tried to believe his son's revelation but,“What if she really killed him? How could they have met?" He murmured as he stared into nothingness. His eyes gazed into the void as his fingers tapped the table rhythmically and then, he exhaled sharply as he tried to sit upright. "Alpha,”Nicholas said as soon as she walked into the room. Apparently, she'd taken over Candace's position and she was free to go into his room at anytime. She felt like the new boss lady of the house and hearing the other maids gossip about her, only made her happier. “Oh!" Radolf cleared his throat, his gaze not leaving the ground as she walked in. What's both
Chapter 65: Appearance Of What Is.“We meet again, Alpha Z’ev,” one of the visitors said in a sly and knowing tone as soon as Radolf stepped out.Radolf’s heart skipped. He forced a weak smile, masking the discomfort already building in his chest.“Come in, Alpha Garret,” Radolf said with a kind gesture, his voice slightly husky. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead despite the evening chill. Beta Garret avoided eye contact, pretending to focus on the floor tiles beneath his boots.“Oh, there’s no need for that,” came a voice that stopped him cold.It was her.Radolf looked up, and there she was—Mario’s mother, Elise Gonzalez. She stepped out of the sleek black car with an air of quiet command. She pulled off her eyeglasses slowly, her stern gaze locking directly onto his.Her expression was unreadable, but not cold—just… heavy. Like a storm holding itself back.Radolf swallowed hard.Alpha Garret walked beside her. His presence was quieter but no less powerful. His silver hair was
**Chapter 64: The Sudden Appearance. Heartbroken, Radolf returned to his pack in Bavaria. What exactly was he supposed to say? That the Beta was torn apart??“You perceived the Sable Smoke, didn't you, Alpha?” Nyx asked as soon as she parked the car in front of the pack house. The Sable Smoke was the dark, and dangerous smell that followed witches and wizards around. They'd driven for hours in silence—the silence of longing to find out he didn't die. "I did. I have no idea how it all transpired." Radolf responded, getting out of the car. “H..how could a witch get access into that place?" Radolf stuttered. Heartbroken, Radolf walked through the grand hall of the pack house, the weight of his failure and grief pressing down on his shoulders—he’d failed as a husband, as an Alpha too. Every step felt heavy, like the loss of his Beta had drained the very strength from his body.What exactly was he going to say to the Elders?The scent of Sable Smoke still lingered in his nostrils,
Chapter 63: Voice Of The Unseen “I'm here to show my gratitude to the one who saved my life," Manga said, a trickery smile appearing on his lips. A disgusting look appeared on her face as she stared at Manga—despite being related to him, he annoyed her with how he behaved.“Gratitude, huh?" Asher scoffed but before he could process another sentence to leave his lips, Annatoria gently touched his hand—a signal to make him pause. “What else?" Annatoria asked. This time, no emotion was evident in her voice, she spoke as the Alpha she was. Manga stood, without a word escaping his lips as he watched Annatoria and Asher sitting on their throne-like chairs. What exactly was he there for?Something different……in the name of gratitude.“I know your mission and why you are here, so leave before I order you to," Annatoria instructed, her eye color turning brown. Asher had already suspected something about her emotions. Besides, he already knew about her eye colors and he'd always wished to
Chapter 61: Unveiling Desires, Unmasking Truths.I'd underestimated this girl, but I was stunned. I'd reached the highest of what I could take….my moans filled the air, as I murmured “more". I wanted her to stop or maybe,go easy but I loved how she sucked me—how she worked on me. She trailed my chest to my torso with her tongue, sending an uncommon but thrilling sensation running through my skin. It was rare! I thought that was all she could give until she pushed me to the bed……That was it! Even if I had, it was nothing compared to what she was doing to me. My soul was feeling it. She climbed to my laps after pushing me to the bed. “Here's the main game," She smiled, as though she was high on something. Oh!! I didn't mind her audacity— Holy Selena! She was so good that I wanted her touch..I fucking wanted her. I helplessly watched her undress, leaving her bare before me.Oh wait! That face rang a bell but before I could spare another glance, her fingers covered my eyes as s
Chapter 61: A Replacement?? **Since the New Member Acceptance Program night ended, the pack hd settled down for it's normal activities. Everyone was now back to normal activities and mingling with the new members. It was a yearly thing for them already because they were definitely meeting new people. “Hi, Beta" A blonde-haired, average-height lady called from behind as soon as Axel waked past her. She was an Alpha wolf and she had gotten somehow close to Axel— forcing the connection, actually.“Um..Hi, um…" Axel stopped to respond but realized he'd forgotten her name so, he smiled awkwardly."Katherine. Tanner Katherine" She reminded him. “Oh! I forget things easily," Axel smiled.“Were you going somewhere?" She asked him, observing the file in his hands. “Technically, I was." “Great! Can I come with you?" She hastily asked, as if she'd been waiting for that moment.“Uh…”"Please, don't say no” She grabbed his hand, acting all ‘cute’."Alright,” Axel muttered after seconds of
Chapter 60: A Link To The Past. 2 weeks later!Finally! It was the normal New Member Acceptance Period again—the yearly program where new members were always accepted into the pack. Back in Asher's pack, everyone was everywhere. It was busy, lousy and everyone was occupied. It was the 11th grand New Members Acceptance Program of The Moon Crest Pack. .The golden, exquisite decoration of the banquet hall was heavenly.The chandeliers and lighting was posh—extremely beautiful and well-arrayed. Each table was occupied by dignitaries who were Alphas and Lunas of other packs. The grand setting of the hall was fire and lit. All it conveyed was WEALTH, POWER, ELEGANCE—nothing less. Asher and Annatoria held each other on the dance floor, staring into the very deep of each other's eyes. Asher placed one hand on her waist and the other hand had her palm gently massaged as they did the slow dance thing. “You actually misheard, didn't I tell you?" Asher said to her, trying to introduce a
Chapter 59: “Mine to be Claimed”Nyx's eyes were shut as sweat beads formed on her face, her wolf cried within. She was having a dream— dreaming was a normal thing for strong wolves. She saw a woman who looked almost like her, she and that woman were so identical and in that dream, the woman and another old woman muttered words. As she could remember was that her Mother looked exactly like the woman who stood before her. Her own Mother died four years after she—Nyx was born.Their words were like loud whispers and echoes, she couldn't hear what they said but her sense were aware of the two women and she was hearing voices that sounded like slurred words. The more she walked towards them, the more they became distant from her. “Mother!" Nyx panted, running towards the woman she recognized. Panting and running after them, they suddenly disappeared. Then, everything became quiet and she suddenly opened her eyes. “It was a dream!” She exhaled as she remained calm but was still p
