Abigail's pov"Alpha Mark, noooo!" Cara wailed.It happened within the blink of an eye. One second, Mark's large wolf was lunging at this Iñari bitch and the next, he was sent flying backwards and crashing into a couple trees...in human form.Silence! That was what came next. She literally just pushed a raging Alpha Supreme back into his human form... without much effort. I would be lying if I said I wasn't impressed. Never seen anything like it.Cara, Bruno, Claire and some random werewolf kid, Alpha Killian and the other Deltas all stood frozen on a spot."You bastard!" Cara spat, slowly walking towards Iñari. I stopped her. Whatever we're doing, we still need to remember that Iñari's not physically present here. Athena is."She knocked out his wolf." Bruno said, coming to stand behind Cara once again, shock still on his face.Mark wearily pushed away some broken tree trunks that had fallen on him. He grunted in obvious pain as he forced himself to his feet, holding onto his side. S
Mark's POVOne minute I was kneeling down on the snowy forest ground, desperately trying to shift into my wolf and the next minute I was right in the middle of...my pack?!Fear suddenly engulfed me as I looked around, sighting numerous burning buildings and trees. The skies were bright, burning red and screams of terror and agony filled the air but I saw no one. Not a single person was outside, running to safety. It puzzled me.I quickly stood up from the ground where I had been kneeling. Looking around frantically for some explanation to what the hell was going on? How am I here? Why is my pack suddenly on fire? Where are the members of my pack.I started tracing the noises to various burning buildings. I walked up to a building that was literally burning down, screams and calls for help coming from within. I called out and even quickly got in to check on whoever was crying for help, only to be met with nothing, no one. I continued like this, from one building to another."Anybody the
Mark's POV"Quick! To the borders. Let's get out of here." Killian shouted as he and some Deltas ran towards a portion of the woods that marks the beginning of the Pack's outskirts. I followed closely behind everyone as I looked over my shoulders at the vicious rogue wolves that were after us. They were gradually gaining on us, as they were all basically in wolf forms.Truly, this has to be some sort of illusion like Cara said; rogues dare not wander anyway near our territory, talk more of having the effrontery to attack us. However, the fact that we've lost connections to our wolf side would really give them some advantage."Alpha Mark, lookout! " The Omega kid, Leona called out as she ran, looking at some thing behind me.I looked back just in time to see a large wolf, leaping towards me with some really murderous glint in its eyes. I ducked, making the creature miss me on the air and fall with it's face to the ground."Keep running, you guys! I'll buy us some time." I shouted at Ca
Mark's POVI turned around just in time to see Bruno, hitting a rogue behind me with a big stick. It must have been trying to sneak up on me."Uh oh!" Bruno exclaimed as the rogue let out a low, ferocious growl at him. Cara grabbed its neck and twisted it in an instant, making me sigh in releif because I literally had another rogue biting hard on my right arm. Killian and seven other Deltas were all busy fighting off rogues, even Claire and the Omega kid had already armed themselves with sticks and iron bars, swinging them around wildly. The rouges kept on coming at us from all directions. We were now basically surrounded by vicious, blood thirsty rogues, making us back up against each other as we fought them off. No claws, no fangs, no wolf ; just pure aggression and the strong determination to survive.I was finally able to shake off the rogue from my arm, hurling it right into a nearby flame. My arm was badly injured and I had claw marks all over my body. Cara was also in a pret
Abigail's pov"I'm really starting to think we made a mistake by bringing this sword." Fernando whined, as he looked down at the katana that had been used to impale him yet again. This time, the katana was all the way into his midsection, coming out from behind him and pinning him to a nearby tree. He coughed out some blood, holding onto the weapon."That's a katana....and, bringing it was totally your idea." I told Fernando, as I dodged a few, frantic attacks from Iñari. The plan was to get her to keep coming at us, till she finally becomes fatigued enough for Athena to take over. That is when we'll strike."Also, didn't you suggest that stabbing you might jog her memory?" I reminded my brother as he yanked out the katana from his body, unpinning himself to the tree."I get it.. I do make a lot of bad decision." He rolled his eyes dramatically, tossing the katana aside."Why won't you just die?!" Iñari yelled out in rage, as she swipe her daggers at me for like the thousandth time. S
Abigail's povI caught Cara's fist, just a few inches away from my face."Damn it!" She swore below her breath."Don't feel bad, that was really close." I smirked, before delivering a quick palm strike to her solar plexus. It sent her falling backwards on the floor of the gym. Good thing other wolves weren't around to watch one of their Alphas casually getting her ass kicked."Ugh! What's that for?" Cara groaned, clutching her torso and curling into a fetal position."My bad! I thought an Alpha would be able to see that one coming." I tutted, earning a glare from her.We had been sparring at one of the pack gyms for hours, working on various attack and defense techniques. Cara felt like after all that has happened for the past few days, being a much better fighter should be her utmost priority. I couldn't agree more.It's been a couple days since the battle against Iñari and her vixens. We were able to save Athena, free her from Iñari's mind possession. The process was a very exhausti
Abigail's pov"Abby? I swear if you don't come out here this instant!" Cara yelled out to me from the living room. I was currently in front of a sink in our bathroom, puking my guts out. Turns out you can't have too many ale without repercussions.I gave my self one final look, after I rinsed my face with warm water from the faucet. I hung a towel around my neck as I went out of the bathroom to meet the impatient she wolf.I saw her helping Athena with the zip of her dress, both of them looking so elegantly dressed in black. I whined internally, not really ready to play "dress up"."Are these really necessary?" I asked Cara, silently dreading her answer."Hell yeah! You can't be going to your first bonfire ever, looking like that." Cara turned around to glare at me, as I stood in front of my bed, eyeing the black, shiny dress on it."What do you mean by that?" I frowned in curiosity at Cara's earlier statement."Your hair's terrible." Athena bluntly replied, making me gasp and place m
Abigail's povSilence, and an overwhelming aura of sobriety washed over the crowd of werewolves, as Mark set the corpses ablaze. There were seven wrapped bodies in total, including that of Elder Moriah.Chilly, winter wind hit the open parts of my body, making me shiver lightly and clench my teeth. I really should have worn pyjamas...how could I not have considered the damn snow? It was still snowing pretty lightly, even when the cold was nothing light. I literally had goosebumps all over and I had to fold my arms awkwardly. Athena, who didn't seemed to be even slightly bothered by the cold, looked at me in question. She smiled when she finally figured out what was going on. Now that I observed, none of the wolves seemed to be bothered by the cold. Hell! Even Mark and the other Alphas were shirtless.Cara suddenly grabbed me in an embrace, wailing and sniffing loudly ... again with the overt display of emotions. I tried to shake her off me, but she only wailed louder, making me roll
You deceived me!" Benard snarled at the approaching warlock, Okiro. He was bound in heavy, enchanted chains, his arms spread out on the wall."Don't be ridiculous, Benard! You wanted power and that's what I'm giving you." Okiro casually said to the seething Benard."Power? I barely escaped with my life. The White wolf could have ended me right then and there." Benard hissed again."But he didn't." Okiro deadpanned.Benard looked down at his wounds that were slowly healing. Deep gashes and cuts that were seeping out dark blood. His organs would have easily been ripped out. He began to realize just how strong his opponent was...not like he didn't know before, it just became clearer."I want to be able to kill him." He said with gritted teeth."Patience, Alpha boy! The White wolf is not just any wolf. He taps power from a long, ancestral chain. Eventually, you'll defeat him but you must be patient." Okiro informed him."You were able to get some venom into his system, right?" He asked,
Abigail's povMy vision was blurred with tears and the noises of commotion around me seemed to be fading away, as I knelt down behind White's badly injured body. His wounds didn't seem to be healing and he looked to be in severe pain. His heartbeat was very weak, due to all the blood loss and there was nothing I could do to help him. Benard somehow got away, badly injured too and some of the North claw wolves went in pursuit of him. He was working for my father, that scumbag. They always want to take away anything or anyone that matters to me. He was sent here to probably kill White and capture me. I seethed.I took in a shaky breath, standing up to my full height. I knew what I had to do. I'll end this nonsense, once and for all. I'll find my way to my monster of a father and kill him myself. He has put everyone through enough already and I wasn't going to hide from him anymore."Hey! Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Athena came to stand on front of me, stopping me from going
Mark's POVI marched alongside fifty of my best Deltas. We were heading towards the Burning woods to get some answers. White wolf or not, there's no way she'd take on all of us that easily.I had three of my Alphas with me, Athena included. Cara wanted to come along, but I gave her a strong disapproval. She was expecting pups and was in no shape to be out on the fighting ground. I would have gone to ask Niolba to tag along, but the dragon hasn't really been himself since his last encounter with Hazel. The last thing I wanted to do was to make him face her again. Not after all those things she said to him."How's she doing?" I asked Athena as she came to walk beside me. I was asking about Cara." Very pissed. She's giving Bruno hell." She said, looking ahead at the direction we were going."We've got bigger things to worry about though." She said, a worried look on her face. I gave her a curious look."You don't think we can take her?" I raised an eyebrow at my sister, earning a scoff
Abigail's povI decided that I've had enough turning and rolling around on my bed, and that's when I decided to get up.I wasn't supposed to be this restless, especially after all the activities that went on today. My muscles were a bit sore and took some of Hazel's pain relieving tea to help me heal. I should be fast asleep by now.I was met with a pair of concerned, glowing red eyes, shining down at my soul in the darkness of the room. White. He was probably feeling my restlessness. I reached out for a small lamp beside my bed, turning it on to get a clearer view of my surroundings...since I don't have glowing eyes like a werewolf. White squinted his eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness and I chuckled at his funny facial expression. His ears perked up at the sound of my laughter and he bent down to lick my face."Eeeww! Stop it, you slobbering creature." I giggled as he attacked me with more licks. A few hours ago, this same creature was in tearing demon wolves apart with his ba
Abigail's povI bit back a groan as I did one final push up, before standing up and wiping the sweat from my forehead. I've spent a couple days here in the Burning woods and I think I was already starting to adapt to the changes.I usually come out here to an open clearing at the back of the cabin, to train and condition my body. I felt like there's just so much to be done and I had to be prepared. The gentle flowing of the little, clear stream nearby seemed to offer a soothing feeling to burdened soul. The rays of the early morning sun, shone down on my skin and I breathed in the fresh scent of flowers. I had been training here all morning...been doing that for the past few days. Although, I wasn't still sure if I wanted to use my scream again just yet. I couldn't explain my reluctance.I was doing some light stretches, when I paused to let out an exasperated sigh. "The both of you can come out now!" I called out to Hazel and White, who had been spying on me from the nearby bushe
Abigail's povThis was my third escape attempt today and Hazel was having some real fun watching me try. She never really did much to stop me, only watching me get more frustrated after every attempt.I gritted my teeth as ran past numerous trees, stumps and boulders. They didn't call this place the Burning woods for nothing; most of the trees were literally burnt.I've always felt like a confrontation with the White wolf wouldn't do me any harm. However in the light of recent events, I don't think I'd even be able to survive his stare. I even just found out it's a male! I know that's not supposed to matter but what if it does? What if he was just keeping me here, so he can kill me himself when I wake up? I mean he really has no reason to want me alive.I finally saw it, the border. The end of my captivity. I quickened my pace, feeling my chest constrict and my breathing get labored. I ignored those discomforts, pushing myself further towards the border. The familiar feeling of my ins
Abigail's povThe tweeting and chirping of forest birds filled my ears. Cool breeze blew against my skin, making me want to sigh in bliss. The soft matress I was resting on offered me so much comfort and I hesitated to open my eyes for a while.The distant sound of falling kitchen utensils suddenly made my eyes fly wide open. I frowned at the unfamiliar surrounding. I was surrounded totally by white colored furnitures, which made me panic at first. I soon realized I was in a gazebo-like structure that was attached to another wooden cabin. No wonder I felt so much air on my skin earlier.The smell of fresh grass filled the air and I greedily took in a deep breath, while admiring the scenery. From the white interiors of the gazebo, to the beautiful trees and flowers surrounding it. My stomach suddenly let out a rumbling sound and I decided to get down from the bed. Where's this place? Why is no one around? Am I dead or something? How did I even get here? All these thoughts attacked my
Abigail's pov"No... please..leave...him alone." I desperately tried to call out to Benard, who was beating the absolute shit out of Mark. He was throwing the Alpha Supreme around like a rag doll, while the latter desperately tried to release himself from Benard's grip. It was a very horrible sight."This certainly didn't go the way you expected." Benard chuckled as he held Mark up by his hair. Mark was in a badly injured state, with broken bones all over. His shoulder also seemed to have been dislocated and he was wincing in pain."Let him go, you bastard." I shouted, feeling hot tears fall down from my eyes. This was a very difficult situation for me. I should have used my scream earlier, even if it would make this whole cave collapse and kill us both. That would have been better than just sitting here and watching Benard kill Mark slowly. I could barely even move. Everything hurt."I'm the one you want. I'm your mate." I cried out to Benard as he leisurely tore through Mark's skin
Abigail's povA look of shock and utter disbelief appeared on Benard's face, as I pushed him towards the entrance of the cave with my scream. He didn't see that coming, none of them did. I smirked at him.Earlier, I had taken care of two, random wolves and the other male, Joe. I knocked Bianca out, deciding it would be best to let Cara handle that bitch herself. It would be such a sight to behold."Now that's what I call a shocker!" Benard let out a dark chuckle, cleaning blood from his ears with his trembling hand. I frowned, expecting him to fall down or something.Another rogue suddenly emerged from nowhere, charging at me. I was too slow to have noticed it earlier, as my full attention was on Benard. He however, seemed to be way ahead of me.In the blink of an eye, he was in front of me, grabbing the wolf and hurling the creature out of the cave. I heard the commotion and fights stop for a while and I looked at Benard with a puzzled expression. He just killed off another of his...
