Along the usually dark wintry lane shone hundreds of paper lanterns; illuminating with their flickering candles.
Men were wearing black velvet jackets with silver embroideries and long leather boots. Women were glowing under their white silk dresses, and pink lace-up ballerina flats and children were carrying a lantern of their own making, each in a different colour. It was the Lantern Festival.
The alphas and betas united to face the hunters, and the leaders stood in front of their packs, waiting for the right moment to give them the signal.Alexander recognized the hunters, Bill and Spencer, who attacked him a few weeks ago and the ones who wanted to hurt Levi.
Elijah's eyes grew wider as he stared at the corpse. The way they killed the hunter was similar to how Alexander found his mother two years ago."Does it mean that her killer was with us tonight?"Alexander nodded. "I think so," he answered in a quiet voice, almost like a whisper.
Alexander's POV:Right after I got in the car, I felt my stomach knot and my legs tremble with nervousness. I didn't know what I was most afraid of, not finding my mother's killer or finding him sooner than expected. In both cases, my mind won't be quiet.
Alexander's POV:My hands couldn't stop trembling during the entire ride. I couldn't stop thinking about the zigzagging scars, the Five Brothers' nervousness, and the necklace.
"Can we go inside?" Alexander asked, looking at the white wooden door."Sure," Elijah smiled. "It's your home now."They walked to the door, and Elijah took the key from his pocket before he opened the door.
"Welcome back!" Alexander waited for Leo in front of the mansion. He helped him walk inside and sit on the couch. "How do you feel?" he sat next to him."Very good now that I'm back home," Leo smiled. "Where is the master? I should thank him for paying the hospital fees.""Oh, please," Alexander rolled his eyes. "You are a member of his pack. It's his pleasure to take care of it."
Alexander had to close his eyes and open the car window to smell the fresh air in order not to throw up again. He was feeling uneasy and tired, and he just wanted to lie down and rest."How are you feeling, love?" Elijah squeezed his thigh."I feel sick," Alexander mumbled. "I'm dizzy."Elijah stared at him with a worried face, "We're here, love. Justin will give you medication." He helped his mate walk inside the hospital. The nurse asked them to sit in the waiting room as the doctor had another patient.Elijah stared at Alexander whose face got paler, and his eyes were half-closed because of sleep. He put his arm around him, "Rest your head on my shoulder." he whispered to him.Alexander did as told, and he closed his eyes to sleep for a little while the doctor was still busy. Elijah kissed his head and kept observing the people around them. He saw some mothers carrying their little pups who were crying, and he saw how patient they we
Alexander's POV:The ray of sunshine woke me up, and I caught a strong scent. It wasn't only Elijah's, but it was also a scent of roses. I sat and realized that red roses surrounded me.Elijah?They were on the bedsides, the nightstands, on the desk, and the floor. The red colour looked amazing, shining under the sunlight and surrounded by the beautiful scenery outside."
The hunter looked scared as Elijah approached him. He was alone and surrounded by a hundred wolves, so he thought he shouldn't mess around."Good evening," Elijah offered his hand."Good evening," the hunter shook it. "I'm Bill."
"I don't know what I'm feeling anymore."Alexander and Elijah were lying on the couch, and the beta was resting his head on his fiance's thigh.They just came back from the centre of the village, where they executed the Five Brothers earlier.
Elijah kissed Alexander's skin as gently as he could. He unzipped his jeans and pulled them off. Alexander moaned when Elijah's warm breath brushed his hard member. He closed his eyes and let him pleasure him. Elijah took the length between his hand and pumped it, making his mate groan. He smirked and took a bottle of lube from the drawer. He put the raspberry scented liquid on his hand and rubbed it onto Alexander's hard member. Up and down, he massaged it with all delicacy, knowing how and what made Alexander give him the sweet melody of his moans which he loved a lot."Elijah, I'm going to..
"You're home." Matthew stopped the car. He was the one who brought Alexander from the hospital after he got discharged. He borrowed Levi's car and left the mansion as soon as he could because he didn't want his brother to spend any more time surrounded by medical devices."You're coming in, right?" Alexander asked. "Let's have dinner together.""No, I'm going home." Matthew shook his head."Why? Elijah just sent me a text earlier. He said that Rose is sleeping. Let's have dinner, Matt.""Exactly," Matthew nodded. "Rose is sleeping." he stared at his brother's eyes and smirked.Alexander realized what he meant and slammed his head, "Shut up you dirty ass."Matthew burst out laughing, "I know you love my dirty ass, brother. I know you do."Alexander smiled and kept looking at his younger brother. He was happy to see him in a good mood. It was one of his biggest wishes to see Matthew smiling after their mother's death. He would always lo
Matthew and Levi ran as fast as they could until they reached the mansion.Nathaniel welcomed them with a big hug and cried with them. He insisted on cooking something for them before they go to Elijah. They were too sad and tired to eat, but the chef was good at convincing.They ate in silence and headed upstairs to the leader's room. Levi gently knocked and entered to find his brother lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling."Elijah," he whispered.Elijah turned his head and widened his eyes when he saw them. "You're here! You're safe." he sighed from relief."Thank you for sending Samuel and Leo." Levi smiled."Leo?" Elijah raised an eyebrow. "He went there?"Both nodded."I swear, this guy..." Elijah shook his head. He stared at Matthew and his brother to see if they didn't get hurt. "You look well.""We are," Levi said. "Don't worry about us.""Elijah, please tell me that Alexander is alright." Matthew appro
Levi was sitting on the floor, surrounded by injured wolves. He managed to kill all of them, and he was still surprised about it.He might not have been well trained, but his love for Matthew, Elijah, and Alexander made him stronger.He was now facing the Five Brothers, who prohibited from seeing his mate. They threatened to kill Matthew if he tried to touch any of them.
Elijah left the baby in the nursery and headed to the reception hall where Leo was waiting. He looked as tired as him as they spent hours in the hospital without resting or eating."Hello," Elijah approached the receptionist. "Can I see Alexander-Walker now?" he asked with a weak voice."A moment please," the woman searched in the computer. "He's in the ICU. You can see him. I will send a nurse with you." she said before calling her colleague. "Please accompany him to the ICU."The nurse smiled at Elijah, "Will you follow me, please?""I'd like to go too," Leo joined them. "I want to see Alexander." he looked at Elijah with sad and desperate eyes."You both can go, but you'll need to wear a mask and a gown for hygiene matters."Elijah and Leo followed the nurse in the hospital corridors.They saw families waiting for their loved ones, hoping the surgery would go well. They saw pregnant women caressing their belly, and others crying fr
No, I didn't like this. I didn't like the way he was talking."A-Alexander, why are you saying this?" I looked at him with horrified eyes. It looked like he wanted to say something, but he suddenly lost consciousness."Alexander!"
Hours ago...Matthew followed Henry and Jace to the mansion, and they called their brothers. The three alphas appeared in the main hall and raised their eyebrow, wondering what beta was doing in their house. "You're a part of the Walker pack now, right?" Eliott asked. "What are you doing here?""He's our new prisoner," Henry smirked.
