I hadn't thought about it for long before more twigs snapped close to me.
My nose picked up a scent I didn't know existed, and I immediately closed my nose to prevent me from inhaling more pungent odors that accompanied the scent.I immediately stepped back and wanted to move in a direction I knew nothing about when a shadow emerged from nowhere.I stumbled back to where I was coming from, my eyes getting more and more used to the blue marks that were heavily marked into the trees that surrounded me.How had I not seen it before?How had I not smelled the dangers that lurked and now moved towards me in this forest?I was a long way away from the blood moon pack; I was in the stolen lands.land owned by a ruthless being, one that was never seen, only heard, and felt.The same being that had my parents killedEvery ounce of me rejected this place, but I didn't have much of a choice since I was still the same person within the area.I turned, wanting to take another route to escape the man as he staggered towards me, and I saw not one but two men well spread on every exit my mind could take."Hey there! Stranger!" His voice bellowed, and from where I was, I could smell the cheap whiskey on him.The others snickered and hooted as he made his greeting and finally stood a good distance from me."She's even more beautiful than that heat smell!" he shouted, and I froze in shock.Heat smell?What did he mean by"I need some of that," another man ventured forward, and before I knew it, I had been cornered like a rat.I shook in fear as I realized that my heat was still pulsing, that I had had my juices run down my thighs earlier in the night, and that I had run a good distance, mixing those juices with sweat."You look lost anyway. How about we show you the way?" One of the men said this, stretching a hand towards my face.Panic rose, and I hit his hand away, disgust filling me up to the brink.The men looked shocked at the fact that I knew exactly what they meant by circling me like vultures and trying to act nice at the same time. I knew what was up.Like speed, the man who had his hand stretched towards me earlier gave a frown and made to grab me.My reflexes were stronger, and I moved quicker on my toes, evading his attack.The other two took it as a sign to attack me at the same time that they jumped on me.My reflexes were only fast enough to evade one man at a time, but two?I managed to escape their clothes, but as I turned my back, willing my legs to carry me as far as I could muster, one of the men flung himself at me and held me by the legs.I kicked ferociously,letting out screams of violence, but I only managed to catch one of the men on the face with my knees while I struggled out of his grip; the other two held me down, pinning me immediately.I saw the look of satisfaction and pure evil that radiates off of each of them equally."You bitch!" The man whom I had kicked with my knee to his face and eye held his left eye as it pulsed even from the tight groans he was letting out.He moved towards me, and the same hand that held his eye in place stretched out high above my head and brought it down to my face.I groaned in pain as my face stung, and the man chuckled in delight."You're so going to pay for that," the man said, and his breath stank even worse as he placed his face against mine.Anger welled up inside me, but not as high as the instinct to survive."Look, I have money. I could get you more money," I said desperately as I struggled in the hands of the other two men who held me down.I didn't come with any riches, and I currently have no riches, but the fact that I mentioned money was supposed to bring a reaction, but the men all looked at themselves and gave a laugh.This was the nth time that I was getting laughed at; my face contorted in pain, and misery engulfed me."Please," I begged.But the men only snickered.From where I lay, struggling to get free. I caught a glimpse of a shadow in the bushes; his growl was low but there.Somehow I feared his presence, but I welcomed it."Help!" I screamed, and my scream was directed at him."Any of you lay a single finger on her head, and you're all going to die tonight in the most brutal manner with your pants leaking disgusting fluids and your stomachs ripped apart," the man in the shadows said calmly.The men looked at one another and burst into laughter.That was the last thing I heard before blood splattered across my face.Avalor's POVWhy do I think something is wrong with my woman? I frowned."My king, is everything okay?" I nodded but still felt uneasy.I ignored the way I felt and continued with my discussion with the councils.I felt a sharp pen in my chest and sniffed a bad aura."Excuse me, my elders. Please, I need to go check up on something. I will be back to us in a jiffy. I rushed out of the throne room and rushed to my chambers.The bad aura suffocated my nose as I came closer to my room."Leave me alone. Avalor! Avalor!" Hilda's voice echoed."Noooooooo!" I pushed the door open and found a woman who pressed a pillow on Hilda's face.I changed immediately into my beast form and jumped on the woman. Hilda fell on the bed, and I snapped; she was unconscious. It got me more enraged.I grabbed the woman, removing all she had on, and to my surprise, this woman was Alex."How the hell did you get into the palace? How did you creep in?I began to hit his head against the wall. His blood splattered

Hilda5 days later.Avalor took me to the Pack Kids supermarket to shop for our pups."How do you feel about today's soltice party, my love?" He kissed my forehead. I snapped at the girls stealing looks and smiled at them.They must probably be imagining my man in their heads. I raised Avalor's wrist and kissed it, and the girls harrumphed aloud. My plan worked. I wanted them to just have a little taste of jealousy."Good day, my king! One of the girls greeted us and bowed."I am so excited about the way things are turning out, my love. Your delivery is tomorrow, and we are having another solstice party today. I can't wait to let the entire kingdom know about the only woman I see." I hit his hand off me."That lady that just greeted you—you mean you did not see her?" I frowned."Of course I did not. You are my eyes, and I saw her through your eyes."He cupped my cheek, and I smiled.Avalor is so sweet."My love, you want to buy the whole supermarket? Please, let's go back to the kingd
Hilda."I am over here, my Avi! I mind-linked with Avalor, and he snapped around.I sat down behind the car packed across the main building. Feeling very tired.Thank you, moon goddess, for saving Avalor and me from Lucas and Alex and their escapades."Where are you? Avalor's voice echoed in my head.I tried to stand up to see if I could see him, but I couldn't. I took a deep breath, trying so hard to sustain myself."I am so weak, girlfriend. But you can't give up. Our mate Avi and the pups on the way need us. Hang on for them". My wolf comforted me. My sight became blurry, and my head spun.I sniffed, and my nose caught up with Avalor's scent. I instantly knew he was near, and that made me better."I am here, my love! Avalor hugged me and helped me up."I can't work; I think we may need an ambulance. I am hurting." He brought out his cell phone and began to call the pack hospital."This is King Avalor, the Lycan King of the Red Storm Pack. I need the best doctor to join the ambulan
Avalor"You did what? I snapped at Nancy. She felt no remorse for cheating on me with my stepbrother."Alex, go ahead and kill me and let Hilda go!" I groaned."Hahahahahahaha!" Alex laughed loudly."Please, I beg you to show mercy on her and her pups. No one would drag the kingship with you. Please, she is innocent and doesn’t deserve all that she is going through." I begged ,Alex."Shut up! Avalor," she did everything to me. Because of these bitch's parents, you are still alive. You were supposed to die in that fire that very day. She will pay for that." He pointed his gun at Hilda."Be calm, my love. We are getting out here alive. Trust me!" I mind-linked with Hilda.Alex went back to where Nancy was seated, trying to find out why she remained calm. I snapped them both, and Nancy doesn’t look okay. I think she overstressed her body."We will be out of this place soon, my love," Alex said to Nancy.Lucas inched closer to Hilda, and I got even more enraged as he tried to kiss her.
Avalor's POV."Lucas,stay away and don't lay a finger on Hilda again.""And who the hell do you think you are to order me around and tell me how and when to touch my mate?" He returned his gaze to me."Show your damn face, boss!" I shrieked as the familiar aura suffocated my nose.He twisted his face above his shoulders, moved around, raised his hands, and removed the mask from his face."My goddess! Alex!" I blinked and bit my lips."Yes, it is me, bro! He clutched both his hands in his pocket."What are you doing here? I questioned him. Everything looked blurry, and I gulped."I am the boss. He began to smile. "You are what? I groaned aloud."Alex!" Hilda snapped and called out his name."You have been the boss all along. She questioned him in disbelief."You are evil! I suspected your altitudes each passing day at the palace. I knew that you had something behind those sleeves of yours, but I had no evidence for my suspicions." Hilda began to cry."It is me, Alex, bro. I know you ar
