KARENTwo days since Rhoda left, no one has seen her or smelled of her presence, which was beginning to make me feel worried and sick.I should have gone to check on her but assumed that she needed her space, solitude, and that quiet time for herself."Greeting Alpha," Rhoda's parents greeted and bowed as they approached me in the garden where I was busy and focused on watering my plants as the caretaker was ill.“I came to know if Rhoda was staying with you after being rejected by your cohort?” Her father asked me, curiously waiting for a reply.“I don’t understand what you mean if she was staying with me. I should be the one asking you that question, exempting the last thought?” He was once a gamma and also my father's good friend. I wouldn't want to show disrespect but I bet I will keep that if he isn't careful.He was about to give a reply when his wife butted in.“May your words be unspoken, Rhoda came back to the family house, heartbroken, she talked to herself, her cries were l
KARENThe dinner went on in the fashion of most dinners at the clan, commencing with arctic stiffness and formality, thawing slightly towards the middle course, and attaining to just a pleasant warmth of mutual understanding, when ices and dessert give warning of its approaching close. Conversation at first flagged unaccountably, but afterward brightened under Scarlett's influence to a certain gaiety.We were doing our best to find out any route she had passed when leaving the pack, I have even sent words around to other packs except that of Lucas and Scarlett, knowing Rhoda will never go there because of the great hatred I shared with them both.I hate Greg not because Scarlett does but because there are some past scores we needed to settle. One reason why I got interested in Scarlett was that I felt we both have the same goals and that we want to end Greg, though I am still holding back because I didn't want to hurt Scarlett's feelings.The story should be for another day. The memb
LUCASOn my way to hunt, in the hot summer, I heard a sound below the cliff, which made me walk faster in the direction I heard it from, hoping it might be an animal since I was searching for an animal used for the pack sacrifice. I ran happily to where I heard the sound and searched through the trees and woods, but nothing was found to my misfortune.I stood still, already exhausted, I am now becoming vulnerable and my wound also stopped healing. I have been sending my blood to the witches of darkness, in exchange for protecting my pack from attack.I have been notified that Scarlett would make her move on us all soon, I learned she won't let my pack be and might attack it also. A branch fell to the ground, startling me. I looked up at the tree and blood dripped on my face. I could smell she was a human, she was hanging on a tree unconsciously making me wonder what happened.I climbed to the tree and looked at her, she was a lady who was bruised. Her head was soaked with blood and
The whole pack has been in coarse ever since the defeat of Addison, I wanted him to receive a good punishment but I didn’t know that Karen would hurt him this bad.Addison groaned on the mattress in pain as the pack doctor tried treating him, “How is he and why is he taking that long to get back to himself?” Nathan asked worriedly.“Don’t get too worried about me now, I thought you are now a very close friend of hers so you both need to do what she wants,” Addison replied in so much discomfort.“Addison?” Nathan called telling him to control his tongue while Karen didn’t bother showing he was referring to him.“Alpha attack was too strong for him,” The doctor replied, bowing before Karen. Come to think of it as Karen purposely acted too weak before me because I was his mate? Though he is the strongest Alpha, I have never for once gotten that feeling for him.Nathan glared at Karen, “sorry for the disrespect though, you shouldn’t have used your powers in fighting him to the point that
SCARLETT I had been walking for hours non-stop, the night was so dark that without a lantern you can hardly see anything.My heart still bleeds from the hurt of leaving my mate, Zyra kept blaming me but also still couldn't criticize me much for the fear of dying again if we don't act on time.I felt something or someone strange following me from behind, so I decided to act as if I didn't notice, I wasn't frightened of anything. Ever since that night, I had fought with rogues. I stopped having anxieties.For almost thirty minutes it kept tagging along, if I swerved back to see what it was, it would disappear."Show yourself before finding you, myself!" I let out not wanting to take chances.The whole woods were uncommunicative, I shut my eyes, trying to listen for breath of who the person was.I smiled when I got the direction, "This is your last chance to show yourself," I said again, bringing out my dagger.Just then I heard a ruffling sound and the culprit came out, my eyes almost
I had been walking for hours to an unknown destination, my mind full of thoughts and emotions. I stopped in my tracks as I heard a familiar voice call my name. I looked around and saw Karen, standing in the clearing. He was tall and muscular, and his eyes were full of warmth.I felt my heart skip a beat as I walked closer to him. I miss him a lot, I miss when he gives me those warm looks, and I miss how he would get jealous seeing me with Nathan.I had been thinking about all that happened all day, but now that he was here, I felt a surge of excitement.Without a word, I stepped into his arms and we embraced tightly. I felt his strong arms around me and the warmth of his body against mine.I tilted my head up and our lips met in a passionate kiss. His lips were soft yet firm, and I felt as if he could kiss me forever. Our tongues explored each other hungrily, and I felt as if I was melting in his arms.The kiss ended all too soon, but it left me feeling breathless and alive. I look
"My lady, were you able to retrieve the seal?" Nancy asked, sitting closer to me, I was outside waiting for the sun to set so I could find a way to communicate with the ghost tribe."I need to get into the pack, so what about the 'they' Lucas was talking about?" I asked not bothering to answer her question."I threatened them already, so they postponed the ritual because they couldn't bear to annoy Lucas and also can't say no to me." I eyed her.She was very weird compared to when we both grew up, it was more like she became someone else and strong. I kept having some sort of bad energy from her."I wasn't able to retrieve the seal," I lied, not trusting her. If there is someone I trust most in my avenge, it's only Nathan.Nancy smiled and didn't push it any further which I was grateful for. "Do you know who got your mother killed?" I rolled my eyes not displeasing myself with those."My mother got herself killed, enough of reminding me how my mum was unfilial." I was beginning to ge
"Gosh, so exhausted," I muttered as I finished the last tent we could make for the day, though I don't know how many members there were, it was the best. We prepared many tents for now."Nancy, what have you been doing just squatting with your eyes closed?" I asked annoyed, noticing she wasn't doing anything. She had withdrawn saying she was tired and has done that for hours now.She didn't give a reply and just continued what she was doing. I shook my head and decided to go get ready since it was almost sunset.A few minutes later I felt Nancy also come inside, "Do you think that Jason of a guy won't betray us?" She asked biting into an Apple."The only person I still don't trust is…" "My lady watch out!" I looked back surprised, only to see a dagger being flung my way, I quickly swerved, but another was flung. I resolute backward and before I could emerge, a punch made me scoot back.I quickly regained myself seeing as she surged toward me and ducked under her arms, and managed to
WARNING ❗❗❗TORTURE AHEAD NEXT DAYThe morning was bright and more peaceful than other days, but the glooming environment could be felt all over the pack.Rhoda, already lost her life before she was brought out of the well, and for some reasons I felt sorry for her, though I didn't like her but never wished for her to have that ending. It was said that the death of her parent came to her as a shock, and couldn't bear and decided to commit suicide.Karen came out of the hall, with a bundle of sticks and an igniter. While I approached him."I want to burn her, but her body is still soaked in water," Karen said already knowing my question.I didn't want to push the issue knowing Rhoda's death also hurt him, he lost three important people in his life in a role and I could understand his gloominess.“She needs to be dried up before burning her into ashes, that I understand,” I said as I opened the cover slightly.Rhoda’s body was already swollen and having a pungent odor . “But What ab
SCARLETT"Hey Scarlett! Open your eyes.." I felt someone shaking me seriously pleading for me to open my eyes."Stop smiling and open your eyes damn it!" I heard the familiar voice called again.I fluttered my eyes open and loomed around to see I was on the ground and in the arms of a familiar warmth I can never forget."Karen?" I called to be sure I wasn't already with thank goodness."Thank goodness you are fine, didn't I want to be careful and not let any harm come to you or the park member?" I kept fluttering my eyes still in the state of shock not knowing what to say."You are alive?" I asked and pulled him in for a tight embrace, I didn't know how to thank the moon goddess for sending him back to me, I was so delighted being in his warm hold again."Thanks a lot for being alive! I promise not to misuse this opportunity again," I cried out as he pulled me more tightly.Then I pushed him away, "Then you shouldn't have made me believe you were dead." I hit his chest recalling how h
SCARLET"Nancy, stay with me please," I cried as I held her almost cold body." I can't lose another important soul."Nancy, please.. Please…" I continued shaking her, "We need to take her to the pack, before she give.." Nathan stopped talking when he recalled what we were currently go through.Nancy face was paled and I could see how Nathan struggled to stand well, I lost Karen and doesn't even know how to break the news and here is Nancy also dying.Nancy suddenly gripped me pulling me to her so she could talk, "Yo… you.. your blood can save me." She struggles to breathe and of which I was quick to catch on."I picked up her dagger and sliced my palm, dropping my blood into her wound, she groaned painfully, making tears almost dropping out of my eyes.It was just like Karen had groaned painfully, and I couldn't even do anything… "Go save them, I am entrusting them on you." Continuously wiping my tears as my blood kept dripping into her wound. I sliced m uhh palm again, but Nathan st
Nathan pov"Aww.,," I groaned as I felt something hit my head, fluttering my eyes open. I was met with Nancy before me, glaring at me badly."That's hurt." I grumbled, but she just rolled her eyes. "This is no time for you to take a nap." She retorted and sat on the ground innocently like she didn't just hurt me."Hey, that's not fair, I was negotiating, " I murmured and looked ahead to see some warriors coming out of the way.If we had known on time that we already have a traitor, Alpha wouldn't have gone to save Scarlett that way. The moment we got to the pack, we were shocked to see, my pack already turned to that filled with slaves. It was too late to turn backa and save Scarlett pack members, we had no choice but to surrender so we didn't lose more lives. I still hope my one would still be able to hold on, I lost my brother already. I don't know how I would feel if I also lost her."Still can't believe the King had been behind all this." Nancy whispered with a crack voice. I th
I waited for a few more minutes but still didn’t feel any sort of pain or pleasure like have thought, I then opened my eyes hoping because I went numb was the reason whyOnly to see Karen behind me, and Henry bitting deep into his hands, “ What the fuck dude!’ Henry yelled and released Karen.Karen choked him on his neck and was punching him continuously, his eyes were no longer the way it always seems. You need no soothsayer to tell he was more than furious.Henry warriors rushed toward them trying to pull but Karen was way too stronger than them. When Karen was exhausted He stopped throwing him far away and rushed to where I squatted.“Scarlett, get a grip of yourself.” I felt him shaking me, who was still in shock of being marked by the bastard.Here Karen comes again to save me, even though it caused him a lot of pain, he is always the one giving without me even returning his help for once. Still he doesn’t care but always made me his priority. I felt too guilty to even look up t
“What?” I asked to be sure of what he just said, was he not the one who rejected me? Now what?You heard me right, you will be mine soon,” he said and moved closer to me.“Stay away from you bastard!” Just on cue, I felt a silver blade beside my neck the moment I abused him. I looked toward my right side to see It was his Beta, I didn’t notice he was also in his room.“Seethe your sword! She is your future Queen” he roared, of which the Beta did instantly. That was the reason why he had felt familiar the moment I saw him, in my pack we had had our encounter in the past.And he apologized for being too late to me in my pack then because he wanted to have me back.“News flash! Karen is my one and true mate, there is no way I will be your queen so stop dreaming,” I retorted and stood from the bed.“The likes of the so-called mate you want, his pack members, and yours are in my hands…” he pushed me back with a finger and traced his hands till it got under my shin and raised my head up.“
SCARLETTI find myself walking into the familiar woods I always played when I was still a kid, "how did I get here?" I asked no one in particular.I kept walking and walking until I was deep in the wood, I wanted to stop but it was like a force was the one controlling me.I only stopped walking when I found my favorite play spot."You can't catch me!" I heard an angelic little girl's voice, I looked behind me to see a small version of me running around with a grown boy. I couldn't help but wonder who the boy was.Hi, I could tell it wasn't Lucas, but why the hell didn't I recall this exact scene? My head was only filled with me playing with Zoe, Lucas and Nancy."Ahhh!" The little me giggled and from on the ground as the boy tickled me."I told you to run fast," the boy said and continued tickling me.“Sto… stop it.. Hen.. Henry,” my little me managed to breathe out but Henry didn’t stop.“It’s a punishment dear I won’t stop,” I cracked up my brain trying to recall if I ever recall a
ROLS 99“Make sure to take good care of them,” I told Nancy and Nathan. I was on my way to the palace to take Scarlett and it was very dangerous leaving just her members there.I also needed to get Addison buried and some ceremony for him, Nathan was devastated hearing the news of his twin brother’s death, he hasn’t been in a good mood since he heard it.I haven’t been able to have a good conversation with Rhoda because of the issues. She kept acting like she didn’t care but I could see the hurt in her eyes when she was told about the baby’s father’s death.“Make sure to keep an eye on Zoe, she mustn’t escape from your grasp,” I warned dangerously as they both nodded again.“I trust you both on this,” with that, I and my gamma started our journey to the palace.My wolf hasn’t been in a good mood after losing a friend and also his mate being unconscious.I climbed onto my horse which was among the horses brought by my men to help transport some of the weak members and left.A few hours
KAREN“Lucas!” I growled as I and my warriors stormed into his pack, some members rushed out all looking weak and tired, I could see fear in their eyes as they knew who I was and dared not do anything daring at me.“Look who is here,” I heard the lady who has been following what Lucas does and is now an enemy of mine even though I could see clearly that she isn't treated well by lucas.“Grab her,” I ordered and immediately Zoe was pulled by one of my warriors and a dagger was placed on her throat.“Let me go you bastard haven’t you all done enough.?” She asked with fear evident in her voice.“Take me to your mate and I will let you go,” I ordered.“There will be no need for that,” Lucas came out also doing the same thing I saws doing to hisi wa to Rhoda.Rhoda face was filled with bruises and the robe she was putting on was torn showing her pultruding tommy. One could tell that her baby was going to come at any time. In anger I pulled Zoe toward me and broke her right arm. The sound
