ReeneI stood outside the door to Ethan's chambers, sighing at intervals. I was clad in a brown silk dress, which did next to nothing to cover my nakedness.It was already days since Ethan tried to have his way with me. Days since I bit his hands forcefully, drawing blood. Days since he punched my face, leaving a dark circle around my eye.I had gone for days without food, after that. All I endured was pure torture. It had already become a norm, that I escorted him to the meeting hall whenever he wanted to have a discussion with his father.It wasn't long before I discovered that here at the Wolf call pack, they didn't have council, nor anything of sort. Here, the Alpha ruled.The Alpha's toy, as the female partner of the Alpha was called, lived in a different section of the mansion. Since I was abducted, I hadn't seen her.The door swung open, and Ethan walked out, with a murderous look on his face. "Let's go!" He growled. I blinked as I followed him. I was s
KadenThe dining hall was silent, none of the people around the large dining table venturing to speak.Amber's mother had moved into the castle under the guise of helping to search for her daughter. Since I didn't have a choice, I let her stay. She was quite pensive, as she ate.Next to her was her daughter, Kathy who had an odd expression on her face.Brandon was seated to me, at the head of the table."Excuse us," I ordered both women to leave, when I noticed Brandon consecutive fidgeting on the chair."But we just started eating." Kathy protested. Her mother looked up at me with a strange look."Yes, Alpha Kaden, why do we have to leave?" She asked, making me sneer."Do I have to explain my every actions to the both of you?" I asked emotionlessly."No, no, that's not it, Alpha. Let's leave." Harley stood up, and dragged her unyielding daughter out of the hall."What's wrong?" I asked Brandon, once they were left."I just received a mail from the Greenwoo
Reene"You'll be good when your mate comes around. Don't worry, you won't be going anywhere." Alpha Frederick smirked as he led the way outside.I stiffened, my movements lifeless. Guards walked behind us, with stern looks on their faces.Today was the day set for the challenge, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.I scoffed, but I said nothing. As we walked, I mused over my new findings at the pack. There was a certain part of the mansion, where no one, even the maids were allowed to go to.Day and night, an SUV always came to the pack. I couldn't tell what they were up to. However, from my snoops, and the maids conversations the other time, I knew something was definitely going on.As we moved outside, my heart thudded against my chest. Gathered outside were different men whom oozed strong auras. I had been trying to suppress my fear about the challenge, however, seeing these men outside, I wished I could call Kaden at that moment, just to dissuade him.I co
KadenThe moment I alighted from the plane, at the airport, and drove down to the Wolf call pack with Brandon, uneasiness filled my being.I remembered what Gaius had said when I told him about the challenge. "You have to save her, but don't get killed. Your mate would rather die, in your place." And then, he held my hands for minutes after that with complete solemnity.The council hadn't agreed to the challenge, especially Cassius. "Why endanger yourself for a woman?" He had said. None of them believed that we were true mates.Oddly enough, the only one who had agreed, was Mateo.I knew I was taking a big risk, but I had no choice. I had to get Amber back today or never."Thanks for inviting me over for a challenge. I can see the members of your pack are here," I said sarcastically, referring to the Alphas whom were watching from the sidelines.I hoped to the goddess, that there wouldn't be any foul play. But I knew it was a futile attempt.. Alpha Frederick alway
ReeneVoices... More voices... Darkness..."Say goodbye to your parents for me," Then, a loud cackle. I knew that voice. It was my father's. I tried running away, but my mind was muddled.And then, another voice tugged at my consciousness. "Amber, wake up. Please don't leave me." Sobs. I wondered why the voice hurt me so much.After a while, it all faded...When I woke up, a figure was seated close to me, on a chair. "Hey," I croaked.He steered."You are awake?" He sat up, and grabbed at my hands with twinkling eyes.Before I could say a word, Kaden engulfed me in his embrace. "Thank the goddess." We remained in that position for a while, and then he pulled away."How do you feel?" He asked, looking me over."Well...normal?" I said it in a questioning manner. "What happened? I need a glass of water." I forced the words out with difficulty. "She's awake!" A voice said, as he walked in, with as much excitement as Kaden had. "Brandon." I nodded stiffly, and sh
ReeneIt was quite chilly, and I rubbed on my arms, trying to draw some warmth, as I doubled my pace towards the forest.The sun would set soon, and then nightfall. It was yet another time to try reaching out to my wolf. After my escape from the Wolf call pack, it seemed as if she had disappeared.Worse still, Kaden was acting like everything was fine. Like I couldn't see Kathy's advances at him, during dinner. Like I couldn't tell he was hiding what had happened at the Wolf call pack.And no one was willing to tell me. I felt alone, just like my past life at Redwood pack.I soon got to my favorite spot, and decided against going naked. For one, I wasn't exactly alone, and someone could interrupt at any time.I sat down on the floor, in a cross-legged style, and closed my eyes. First and second trials weren't successful.Prepared to give it another go, I was interrupted by the crunchy sounds of dried leaves. My ears became alert, my eyes focused on the entranc
KadenI delved into the deliciousness her mouth had to offer, groping her butt cheeks as I did. And then, that familiar feeling kicked in. That urge to kill.I moved away from her, so fast, that she almost fell back. "What's wrong?" She asked with those mesmerizing blue eyes of hers. Gone was the fierceness that had reflected in her eyes before the kiss. Present now, was the sensuality I had never seen before."I have to go." I said calmly, surprising myself. I didn't want to act calm. I couldn't. I didn't want to risk hurting her. And I knew was hell that the only way to do that was to act cold."Oh, I had forgotten. You'd rather reject me as your mate, than accept me, right?" Her tone was soft, but I read the hurt beneath. I suppressed the urge to pull her into my arms, and reassure her that all was fine.But I knew all would never be fine. Not after what had happened at the Wolf call pack. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that she had murdered someone.
ReeneMy room suddenly felt big, as I lay on my queen-sized bed, staring at the ceiling. The gnawing feeling that I was alone once more tugged at my heart.My phone suddenly rang, and I frowned. Ever since I took control of this body, I hadn't given my contact details to anyone.One glance at the screen, and seeing the clearly displayed words on it, made me blink.Alpha Kaden.My heart thudded against my chest, as I wondered why he was suddenly calling me. Did he want to finally reject me?"Hello?" I said, softly, as I placed the phone on the table, putting it on the handsfree mode."Meet me at the study." That was it, and he hung up, without waiting for my response. I almost threw my phone on the floor, in anger.I scrambled off bed, and grabbed a shawl. My movements were calm and calculated, almost controlled, as I moved out of my room.The guard stationed outside bowed, and I nodded in acknowledgment, hurrying to Kaden's study....."What's all this about?"
