Avery was quietly searching for something in her bag in the slave’s quarter.But seconds later, her brow soon raised in alert, and She immediately felt her chest hammered in fear-something was missing in her bag - THE BEAD.“Of all the things in my bag, why does it have to be that” she poured the content of the bag onto the floor. Trying to believe what she was looking for must have been hidden in the bag.But Her fear increased and the thumping of her heart filled the small room after roaming her hand in every corner of the bag and the stuff on the floor, and it was still the same thing - it was missing!It has suddenly disappeared.Without bothering to arrange them properly, She shoved the stuff on the floor into her bag.Arranging her stuff wasn't her problem now as she prayed the bead fall around the room, but there was nothing that looked like what she was searching for, after searching through the corners of the small room.Acting oblivious to the burning glare from her roommates
“The bead, Quinn’s bead.”The one she was here looking for, The one she left her room on this cold night to look for, the one she kept in her bag but suddenly seemed to disappeared, was right there in Lincoln's hand!The alpha’s hand.The one person that isn't supposed to ever set his eyes on the bead, even if the whole world should.“But how possible was it? How did he get to know of the bead? When it was securely placed in my bagOr does he have the ability to notice such a thing has entered the pack?Was that now among the gifts of the moon goddess to every alpha?” Avery's head was hurting with the simultaneous questions popping up in her mind and she needed an answer else she might go insane. Trying to find an answer to all the questions buzzing through her mind, she darted her eyes around Lincoln.“Someone somewhere is responsible for Lincoln finding the bead, but who?” she asked in her heart.The boot stomping on the floor made her know someone was walking toward her.She tho
The room was in total Quietness as the trio awaited for Quinn to answer through the bead while Doris and Lincoln's gaze lingered on Avery to know when Quinn would answer.That was what they were waiting for and thinking about any other thing for even a second, they were aware, would make them miss out and that, they weren't ready for.Of course, they weren't ready for that.It was late into the night. They were supposed to be in their room, enjoying the warmth of their bed and mat, but here they are in the kitchen with the night cold driving into their body, and the reason for that, they were going to follow till the end.They didn't want her to tell them herself, knowing she wasn't going to tell them the truth, so hearing by themselves, was the only best option. By staring at her with the bead on her wrist, they could break into the conversation she was going to have with anybody through the mind link.But they wouldn't be able to read her thoughts unless she allowed it, or they wer
The next day, Lincoln sent out fighters as early as 5:50 pm, He wanted to make sure they get hold of her if she was actually with the bead.And bring her back to the pack house.After the fighters left, his heart was in two sections.With one part giving him some hope while the other part kept discouraging him.“Quinn would be found and brought back.She would be yours, remember you had marked her.You killed her father and brought so much pain to her, so she would never be yours” The two voices kept airing their view in his heart But he quickly shouted at the other voice “I know I and my father and brother caused her pain, but we didn't actually kill Alpha Jaxon remember?”“But everyone, including her, isn't aware. So don't expect her to come back with those fighters when she isn't aware” the voice yelled back, angering Lincoln.He just wished he could get hold of the person speaking through that voice, so he could give him his punishment, but he was also aware that was something
Aleric swallowed hard, with His throat moving up and down as it bulged out. He didn’t realize until Lincoln’s question that, his expression had suddenly changed He thought it was just in his head and heart with no one, ever noticing, but it seemed he was all wrong. It was obvious he had to say whatever he was thinking, else it wasn’t going to end up so well, considering Lincoln’s state at the moment.He had been drinking to a stupor and bringing in different girls for some time now, but today, of all day for a few days, he didn’t leave the pack house to continue his newfound routine.He didn't even see any girls come out of his room before he left this morning. But maybe after he leftAnd here he was seated on the couch in the sitting room patiently waiting for them before they came in, and he knew Lincoln wouldn’t rest until he had answered his question, to his perfect satisfaction.“Is there anything, that you are not telling me?” Lincoln asked again, but this time, he was standing
“Ahh, Ahh” Lincoln's groan, which was filled with pain and anguish, slipped from his mouth multiple times It was low at first, but soon, it erupted into a thunderous and deafening groan.Anyone who could hear it would feel that he was in deep pain as he waggled his body everywhere.Rolling around as he kept groaning.“A-ah ahh” he groaned more and moreFlinging his hands up and down trying to break free from the chain, but it was all in vain as the chain clamped his hands together His effort seemed to be not compare with what his hands were chained with.And the more frustrating thing about everything was that, no matter how hard he strained his eyes, everything was blank.He couldn't see anyone or where he was.Not even the chains used in clamping his hands together. Not even the clanging sound of the chains. But the only thing that seemed to be around was the pain he was feeling because of the chain, yet the chain seemed invisible but left him in pain. Making him groan more and mor
He was scared, since Lincoln being in possession of the chain wasn’t going to be good.When alpha maverick died, he had thought he was the only one who knew about the chains. He thought since he wouldn't use it for evil, the pack and everyone were safe since alpha maverick used it to handcuff any strong alpha.No one was aware why strong chains were used to bind those alphas in the cell but just himself and alpha maverick knew those alpha's wolves will arise and break out from those cells if it wasn't for those chains and to think they were many alphas......The chains were made from gold but covered with dark color in a bid to confuse anyone who knew about those three chains.It was the same chains used to chain the necks of Blue Moon pack menbers, making them weak that they acted like morons even when their alpha was been dragged out and killed.“Those kinds of powerful chains aren't supposed to be known by wicked alphas,” Liam murmured because to him, Lincoln was like his father an
“Oh my” a gasp escaped Lincoln’s lipOn seeing what just happened.He had been to the room millions of times.When he was growing, now that he had grown. When his father was alive and now that he was dead, but he had never noticed that there was something like that in the room.For twenty-one years of his life, a wide hole was in the wall of his own father’s room, yet he had no slight idea.Not even for once did he notice a crack in the wall. The wall had always been smooth that no one including the only two sons of alpha maverick ever noticed.“This man is not just cruel, but he is even secretive” Lincoln mumbled to himself. “What do you think? He had so many enemies due to his wickedness, so it was only normal that he is secretive else his power would be known and everyone would use it against him” a voice said in Lincoln’s head which Lincoln knew was himself trying to answer his question.He had stumbled on alpha maverick's secret a few years back too, but that, alpha maverick wasn
“She was attacked by a rogue. We were able to kill the wolf rogue, but she had already lost her life By then” Zayne explained “And the dead body?” he asked “Over there” Liam pointed beside the Bush while Lincoln followed his pointed finger.“The rogue is on its own Take her body, then bury in the wood as for that,” he points at the dead rogue, “Throw it away that's its punishment for killing the unharmed maid.The moon is coming out for the first time in this year this night and everyone should be out by 8:00 pm outside the pack house. I have something I am going to do” he said before walking into the pack house while the crowd, soon, disperse to their separate room.A few minutes past 8:00 pm, Lincoln walked out of his room He was dressed in purple rope and a black legging.“Is everything ready,” he asked on seeing Zayne at the door He had decided to forgive him since despite everything he had done, everyone forgave him and gave him another chance and that, he has extended to Za
Lincoln, alpha jaxon, and Quinn drove back to shadow pack.Lincoln made the guards release the alphas in cells and everyone held captive While everyone left to their pack.***Quinn was training in the field in Blue Moon pack when she noticed someone’s presence.“Who is there,” she asked, darting her eyes around.She was scared as she had been away from her pack for months now, and she wasn't aware of how the pack had been if it was now a den for evil creatures or bad wolves.They even had to do a whole lot of cleaning and weeding of grass before they were able to move into the pack houseBut she didn't show her fear just in case the person was an enemy so that, he or she, won't use it against her.She looked around trying to see if she could see of the guard, but none was around, so she decided to fight for her life all by herselfAs with her allowing her fear to take control of her, she might end up forgetting her wolf was a strong and powerful one.So taking a deep breath to cance
“Let me go,” Quinn said, but Lincoln refused. Instead, he pulled her closer and held her by the waist. “Quinn, I miss you,” he whispered in her ear. Their closeness caused a shiver to run down Quinn's back.She could feel her resolve breaking, and she bit her lips, not wanting to break her resolve. “Let me go,” she repeated.Lincoln pulled her closer to him as he knew that it was a matter of time before she gave in to him. He kissed the back of her ear and he felt how she shuddered in his arms.Her breathing became heavier, and he heard her heartbeat increase. “I’m truly sorry for all I have done,” Lincoln apologized softly, and Quinn felt her heart melt. Tears immediately formed, and she blinked as she didn’t want to cry. She didn’t want Lincoln to see her at her lowest again.She didn’t want him to know that he still affected her greatly; that she still loved him. Lincoln gently turned her to face him as he wanted to see her face. He cupped her cheeks and rested his head on her
Quinn tried her very best to hate the man, but she just was unable to do so. No matter how many mistakes he made, her stupid heart refused to let go of him.He was her mate, the man to whom she had unknowingly given a piece of her heart to. She would always love him regardless of how many mistakes he made, and now was one of those times which proved it.Despite her being his mate, he had the audacity to bring another girl into their home, knowing full well that she would be beyond hurt. Just how heartless was this mate of hers? And she knew she would still forgive him for this slap to her face. ‘Gosh, I’m such a fool for loving such a cruel man like him,’ she muttered to herself as she headed to his room to stop whatever was happening between her mate and that woman.On getting to Lincoln’s room, she didn’t even bother to knock as she barged into the room. “How dare you try to bring another woman into your bed while I’m still alive,” she yelled in anger.She was expecting to see Linc
“What do you think? That I will just forgive you?It doesn’t work that way Lincoln Maverick” She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then pushed Lincoln away with all the strength she could muster “I won’t have anything against you, I will gladly be your Luna and give you all that you deserve if you can turn back the hands of time and reverse killing my father,” she said.She pushed the door of her room, which was slightly opened aside, then walked into the room.She pushed the door locked that she had to check if the door was about to fall out due to the loud sound.On seeing that nothing had happened to the door, she locked the door from the inside, then slowly crouched on her knees.She kept sobbing quietly until she heard a door jammed close, signifying Lincoln had gone back to his room.“Dad, what would you want me to do at this moment? Am confused. One moment I have forgiven him, then the next moment, the whole memory keeps flooding back and making me change my mind abou
Quinn, stood at the door as she didn't know of what to do, she kept mumbling prayers for Liam or Zayne to come to her rescue.The most confusing thing was that she did not know if he was happy or angry“Is he angry that I marked him without his permission?Is he happy that we are mates now, ?” Her mind was in a daze but one thing she could not dare do, was to open the door when she wasn’t sure what her take on this whole thing was.“Quinn, I just need an explanation! Open this door, or I will break it down” Lincoln yelled at the top of his voice.His voice attracted the pack’s workers who hid to watch what was about to happen while some, decided to go call the beta and gamma to help sort out the situation.“You think locking yourself in that room, will save your ass,” his laughter echoed “No, darling it wouldn’t save you from me never.You did this to my body, I almost lost my life, and before I woke, you placed your sticking teeth on my flesh and marked me. You will pay dearly for th
“Look, I don't know what is running through your mind, but listen, there is nothing going on between the Luna and me. It's an abomination, besides she is an alpha’s daughter and now the Luna of this pack but me, am a nobody, just a fighter who has nothing to his name so whatever it is that what you saw has imprinted in your head, you better get it off!” Mark shouted in a deep voice filled with intense warning.Lincoln was the alpha, and alphas are jealous and so protective of their mate and considering the mating consequence that has been making him fight with his younger brother, he was sure he would do the same thing his father did to the guard he was suspecting was having an affair with his mother, so he wasn't ready to face Lincoln's wrath not now, not ever.“And you think I will just believe that after seeing the way she hugged you?” Andrea asked, walking closer to him. His mouth was curved in a smile, but Mark was too focused on explaining Quinn was never stooping low to him tha
The room was scattered beyond recognition as though there was a fight that took place in the room.But seeing her things still in the room, she took a few steps into the room. The wardrobe, has been pushed back, looking as though there was no hole, besides it.“This place needs cleaning.” she nodded, then walked out of the room. She instructed one of the guards at Lincoln's door to get the cleaners, which he rushed out to do instantly.Moments later, a few girls arrived with brooms, Dustpan, mops, and buckets that Quinn knew they were among the cleaners.“I need this room ready before nightfall, is that possible” She gazed at them “Yes, in less than two hours, we will be done” one of the cleaners, who Quinn assumed to be the leader or more experienced than the others, answered, gazing at the wall clock she said “It's a few minutes past noon so by three, you can be in the room” “Okay,” Quinn said before walking out, so they will do their work.She walked back to Lincoln's room, then
“Mark?Starved?” she asked with so much disbelief.“Yes, I was told, the alpha had ordered that no one in the cells should be giving food” the guard responded.He had been worried about his friend Mark, but since the order was from the alpha, he couldn't dare disobey or do anything to help Mark as that would give him a great punishment or an instant death so on seeing Quinn trying to walk out, he summoned the courage to tell her as she was officially the pack’s Luna and her orders, were as powerful as Lincoln beside, Mark found himself in the cell because of her, so he was sure she would do something about it.“Am sorry if I did wrong for saying it,” he quickly added when Quinn was silent for some time.“N- no” Quinn stuttered “You didn't do something wrong in fact, I really appreciate you for that,” Quinn said sincerely.As she was lost of what to say, that was why she kept quiet.“I need to see him, he is in there because of me, and it's my responsibility to make sure he is taken ou
