[Kian](Past)I pulled out the flag along with the fish’s teeth from its jaw that I had cracked open.Over twenty dead fishes floated lifelessly around me. I was killing them, dodging their attacks, collecting the flags, but my mind was occupied by Carys’ thoughts.Ever since we entered the Autumn pack, Carys was avoiding me. Initially, I thought she was busy with organizing hunts, but I soon realized that she was purposefully avoiding me.But why? Did I do something wrong? Was she angry, or did I do something to hurt her feelings?And she wasn’t the only one trying to distance me from her. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but strangely, every time she was supposed to guide the group I was in to a hunt, Joshua took over her duties.Could it be that Joshua suspected something might be going on between us? Was she avoiding me because of him?Whatever it was, it was driving me insane.Hunts were a good outlet for my frustration. But today, the more I hunted, the more pissed
[Carys] (Past) Kian got the first prize, Levi got the second, and Joshua won the third prize by the end of the hunting games. I miraculously made it into the top ten. I couldn’t get enough flags, but maybe helping Christian had secured me more points. I couldn’t get Christian’s and Levi’s face out of my mind when they saw Kian wipe off Christian’s blood from my cleavage. It was clear both of them now suspected us. Of course, they did. But what bothered me more was Este and Ara talking about that incident to almost every female camper. Kian was as big of a deal among the female campers as Christian and Levi. Most campers were daunted by him because of the silence and distance he maintained with the others most of the time. So Kian openly talking to me and touching me had become the popular gossip in the camp. Kian drew attention towards himself right when he shouldn’t have. I could feel the eyes of the female campers on me as I passed through the corridors. They whispered behin
[Joshua] (Past) I shut the laptop, taking a deep breath as I stared at the ceiling. I let out a wry chuckle. My chuckles turned into laughter until there was nothing but deafening silence in my room. I ran my tongue over my upper teeth, swinging on the hind legs of my chair but somehow not falling. I scratched the skin around at the base of my thumb until it tore and I could see the bright red flesh. Licking the blood off my thumb, I covered my mouth with the bleeding hand. “Carys…” I groaned. I shut my eyes and the video that was playing on my laptop moments ago played with the same resolution and detail in my mind. Clenching my jaws, I picked up the laptop and threw it across the room. It crashed against the wall, shattering as it fell on the floor. Carys’ muffled moans as he pounded into her pussy filled into my ears as inexplicably as the rush to my cock. It was like watching porn, just that it wasn’t porn. She was having sex with her mate. I broke into laughter again.
[Kian](Past)One by one, all the campers entered the forests.In the end Carys, Christian, Levi, Joshua and I were left.“Let’s go together,” Levi suggested.“You think I am scared of this stupid place?” Christian scoffed. “Stupid people have haunted me enough throughout the hunt. I am so glad this stupidity is finally ending!” He landed a swift glare at Carys and entered the forest.“Don’t mind him, please,” Levi chuckled nervously, looking at Carys and her dad.“Of course not! Don’t worry, it’s fine,” Carys said, waving her hand. “He is just being himself. Isn’t it, dad?”“That friend of yours is a unique young man, isn’t he?” Her father looked at Levi and Levi’s nervous chuckles turned into coughs.Levi cleared his throat, “well… he is, I guess. That’s the beauty of life, right? Uniqueness.” He bowed at beta Logan. “I will be off now. It was nice meeting you, sir.”Levi hurried into the forest.Beta Logan stroked Carys’ frivolous strands back in their place. “It’s a Wild hunt. The
[Carys](Present)“Seriously? Are you really going to do this again? Repeat everything all over again? All these years of hard work and medication, for what? Don’t make things worse, Alpha.” Jackson’s fury was clear from his words to his glare that bore into Kian. Kian had lit up a cigarette. Or something that looked like a cigarette, but it clearly wasn’t just tobacco if Jackson was reacting so aggressively. I didn’t have to double guess on what it could be.I don’t know why, but I had followed Kian to the parking lot. Maybe it was Alpha King’s words, but I didn’t even know what to say to him.I was hiding behind one of the concrete pillars, watching them. For the time being, it was just us. Others would be here shortly.“Where in the world did you even get it?” Jackson held Kian’s wrist, preventing him from inhaling whatever that was. “I know how you’re feeling and I understand—”“No, you don’t. Jackson, you can never understand.” Kian’s voice was hoarse and a little shaky.“Fine. I
[Carys]He just stood there, listening with his head held low, his eyes dead.I leaned against his car because if I didn’t; I knew I would fall. My legs felt too weak to carry all the burden I had been shouldering within myself. I had told him everything I was holding back, yet my heart felt heavier with every silent second we shared.My occasional whimpers and both our erratic heartbeats were the only sound echoing in the parking lot.I grabbed his wrist, “seriously Kian! The first thing you thought of was drugs? Do I not matter to you even a little? Am I so worthless to you now? That you seek an escape from reality before me? Was it that easy for you to choose a fucking drug over me? It didn’t even occur to you that I might be waiting…” I bit back my words as he looked into my eyes.I shook my head.“It’s not your fault. I expect too much. You know what? Now, I am glad the poor soul didn’t come into this world. What would I tell them about their father? That he is a fucking drug ad
[Carys]I was back in the Autumn pack.It took almost a week to complete all the formalities of retiring from the beta’s position of the Autumn packs. Meetings, oaths and contracts to maintain confidentiality, gathering and handing over all the exclusive benefits and information I had as the beta to the new beta who was yet to be chosen, and so on.It was a long, complicated and tiresome job to get rid of my only job, but finally I was jobless and I had no idea what I’d do once I ran out of the money I had. But I’d see about that once that happened. For now, I was rich, and I used the wealth to pay off the debt of a 100 million that I owed Kian. Thankfully, Verity was in contact with Jackson, and Jackson helped me in transferring the funds to Kian’s account.All my investments along with my father’s investments were returned to me because as a rogue I wasn’t allowed to hold stocks or estates in the Autumn pack or any other pack.Joshua tried to convince me time and time again to re-e
[Joshua] “Make sure everything is perfect. I can’t afford a single mistake tonight,” I talked through the phone. My steps faltered as I neared my office. Pocketing my phone, I hid my presence and gingerly got near the ajar door. The security of my office had been compromised several times ever since Carys stopped being my beta. Her absence from my life just kept getting louder every day, but that would change after tonight. And I wouldn’t let anyone interfere with my plans of making her mine again. I peeped through the ajar door. My office was dimly lit with a figure sitting on my chair behind the desk. I entered my office and stood before the invader as she flipped through the photo albums I always kept locked in my desk. I strode to the desk and snatched the album from her hand. “Don’t touch my things!” I glared at her. She smiled, “sorry for looking at your precious obsession.” “What are you doing here?” I asked. She took out another album and kept flipping through Carys’
