Xavier stared at the guards as they walked in and from the bleak expression on their faces he could tell that whatever they had come to tell him was not good news.“Hope you two have not come in here to spoil my already bad day with worse news?” Xavier grunted. “If it’s not about Rhea or Jimin, I don’t want want to hear it. Whatever it is you want to say to me can wait till we’ve found them.”“It’s about Rhea, my king,” the first guard replied. “Come with us. We have something to show you.”They walked ahead of Xavier, leading him all the way into Rhea’s room and Xavier paused at the door.“This is not the best time for a joke you know,” Xavier said. “So if this some sort of prank you’d better call it off now.”“It’s not a prank my king,” the guard replied. “Come on in.”Xavier walked into the room he had already been in earlier and looked around. The bed was still scattered as it was when he had come in but every other place was well arranged. Everything was in its place.The first g
“I want every single one of you searching for Rhea and Jimin now!” Xavier grunted. “The first person to get their scent would get a prize from me, and trust me, I’m far more generous than Ghost. I would never ever slay the person that gives me what I want when I want it.”“Yes Alpha,” they replied and bounded out immediately.Xavier grunted and walked out of the room. He was fuming in anger. That bastard, Cain had successfully turned the heart of over thirty of his best men against him and he didn’t even see it coming. If he had known, he would have never made Cain a commander in his army. He had seen him as a loyal and down to earth person and coupled with the facts that he had a few skills that many wolves couldn’t boast off, Xavier had quickly gone ahead to name him as his latest general.“Alpha Xavier,” a voice came from behind him and Xavier turned to see that it was Megan.He stared at Megan, a frown coming across his face. “Do you have any information that would make our search
Rhea looked over her shoulder at Xavier approaching them and frowned. One of the many perks of being the daughter of the lycan king was that your scent was so peculiar that even a day old pup could keep tabs on you.“Act normal,” Calistè grunted, noticing that Rhea’s hands were shaking.“How in heaven’s name do you want me to act normal!” Rhea muttered back. “Can’t you see that they’re here already.”Rhea turned around to see that Xavier was already standing behind her and she smiled at him.“Hey Xavier…”“Rhea,” Xavier stared her down. “What are you doing out here by this time in an abandoned vets office at St. Jacques?”Rhea would have lied but it was no use lying to him. It was all there - Calistè, Jimin, the dead body of her ex boyfriend that was struggling to get to his master again. She knew how it would sound if she told Xavier that she came to see her ex and for a split second, the part of her that dared to have a little fun with him, considered blurting it out.“Remember the
Calistè frowned at Layla and opened her mouth to say something but Layla quickly cut her short.“Come on, witch,” Layla grunted. “You of all people should know that I was joking. Of course we’re all smart. If we put our heads together, I believe we can solve the riddle, whatever it is in no time.”“I envy your pessimism,” Rhea smiled at her. “Although I’ve lived with Mork for the better part of my life and I still couldn’t get a finger on what that riddle was even talking about.”“Because you never paid any attention to him,” Layla smiled at her. “Maybe he even liked you. If you had asked nicely I’m sure he would have told you what you wanted to hear.”“Well guess who didn’t give me the chance to ask nicely,” Rhea frowned and turned to Calistè.“Hey!” Calistè protested. “You can’t blame me for his death. He was proving to be strong headed. He didn’t want to spill.”“Still,” Rhea murmured. “He would be more useful to us alive than dead. Now we have to spend hours solving a dumb riddle.
Ghost reclined on his royal chair without a care in the world. His mind was racing and he was excited. With the latest discovery from his top agent, Chloe, he was sure that it was only a matter of time before Xavier and his Black Wolf Pack came crumbling down. He turned around, looking for any of his guards and found one snoring away at the corner of the throne room.“Sylvester!” Ghost growled.The guard woke up with a start and looked around to see who had called him. He found Ghost staring straight at him and he sat up immediately at alert.“I didn’t know you needed me,” he stood up immediately. “I slept off.”“I can see that,” Ghost replied. “Is there any word from my adviser yet?”“Not any my king,” Sylvester replied. “Although I’ve heard rumors that he went out partying with a few of his friends.”Ghost stared at him for a while before turning back to face the throne.“What news do you have about the other bastard that refused to bow down before me?”“There is no new news about h
Chloe made her way gingerly across the woods. She walked, ran, hopped, anything at all to increase her speed and her chances of completing the assignment that Ghost had given to her before the clock struck twelve. That, as Ghost had agreed with her was the only condition in which he was going to allow her friend live. He had refused to follow her on the mission and Ghost was pissed to death. He had already sent his guards to behead him in the dungeons but Chloe had pleaded for his life. Ghost had told her that the only thing that was going to make Syke live was her. She had to bring in the daughter of Alpha Ferran from the custody of Xavier before the clock struck twelve and her friend would live.Chloe had agreed to the deal immediately and set off, with her knife and dagger stashed in a leather pouch hanging around her waist. Chloe would have never believed that she would spend an extra second thinking about Syke but their brief relationship after getting booted out by the Black Wol
"You want to take the princess on a stroll?" Sebastian frowned, staring at her."Yes," Chloe shrugged. "Anything wrong with that?""Not at all," Sebastian laughed. "Just that it's weird seeing a guard of the Black Wolf Pack trying to be friendly with Megan. Since I got here, all they've been talking about is how she's changed from the quiet and friendly Omega they used to know back in the pack. Apparently, no one likes her anymore. It's very strange to see that there's still someone in the pack who even wants to have something to do with Megan after all.""Maybe I'm different in my own way," Chloe smiled at him. "Or maybe I want to torment her too. You can never know if you don't let me have that stroll with her.""You're mysterious," Sebastian smiled at her. "I like them with a little touch of mystery, a bit unpredictable, just exactly the way you are."Chloe smiled at his remarks and waited, hoping he would hand over the key to the room where she was locked."I can't allow you go wi
Sebastian turned around, confused. Never in his life had he seen a crowd as much as that all running towards the same place and he knew immediately that a stampede was imminent. He got out of the way before they ran into him and screamed at the top of his voice.“What in heaven’s name is going on here!”They all stopped and began to murmur amongst themselves while a few of them who were at the back struggled to come forward.“Yes?” Sebastian stared at them waiting for an explanation that could give him some more insight on why they were running around like mad people.“Would any of you here care to explain to me why you’re running around?”The guard that Chloe had spoken to walked forward to meet Sebastian. He watched as she made her way to the front still panting and once she had gotten to where he was, she spoke up.“We got your message from the guard,” she said amidst heavy breathing. “You said that the Alpha wanted to have an emergency meeting with all of us and if we came late, o
