~Xyana~After finishing our lunch, we drive back to the pack house. On our way, Dion gives me a detailed explanation about the pack, how most of its lands were acquired, and how the pack was borne through his ancestors.Their lineage is a pure Alpha lineage with no adulteration of any sort.He keeps showing me various paths that lead to prominent facilities in the pack, like the hospital, library, fire station, train station, airport, etc. The Gurreo-Valley pack was indeed a sight for sore eyes. Everything is super cute. I listen to him intently as he goes on reciting more and more historical facts as we drive along. He also gives me a little intel about the pack members and how every one of them comes together to form a solid pack that is like a big family because they all have each other's back. This is one of the reasons people from other packs have no idea of what really happens within the walls of their pack.At a point, he stops and chuckles. "Now that you've made your first o

~Xyana~I wake up to a sudden brightness in my room. This is unlike what I'm used to. Usually, I wake up before Adina gets in. On rare occasions, she comes in while I'm still asleep and helps wake me calmly after running me a bath. She has never opened the curtains, letting so much brightness into my room before I get off the bed?I blink into the light streaming into the room as an unfamiliar figure stands right in front of me. More blinks and eye rubs, I finally get a clearer view of the person standing there; she's indeed unfamiliar.Once she notices that my eyes are open, she starts blabbering at the top of her voice, almost getting me scared with her high-pitched tone.Turning in my bed, I finally succeed in blinking sleep out of my eyes. I can’t see Adina or anyone else in the room. Just the unfamiliar lady. When I turn back to look at her, she's smiling and stretching out a hand to help me up.Well, I'd thought I was hallucinating and wouldn't se

~Xyana~"Ah, here you are," Declan calls me, flashing a fat smile as I join him in the dining room. "You missed Oona, she just left for school. And she asked about you.""Aww, I've been missing breakfasts with her for a while now," I replied, making a face."Yeah," Declan replies. "How are you, Pretty?" I shrug, "I'm perfect, Bones."The sound of the door behind us announced the presence of the other Howling men."Alpha." Declan greets rising to his feet. I did the same and when Gaston takes his seat, we all follow suit.Clifton is wearing an icy mask today. A mask I'm now officially used to; 'Fire and Ice' a perfect description of Clifton Howling. You just never know the version of him you'll meet today or the day after."Keeping her all to yourself, eh, Bones?" Dion teases."Ah, look at kettle calling dark names. Who spent twenty years with her yesterday." Declan asks. "Did you have fun with Diony, my Love?" He turns to me."Yes," I wh

~Xyana~Once we get into Gaston's SUV. I shut my eyes and let out a breath I had no idea I was holding back all along.When I reopen it, I lean back into my seat and settle my eyes over the beautiful landscapes that I find slightly familiar after yesterday's outing with Dion.Gaston is absorbed with his phone again. Whatever it is he's doing with his phone these days must be quite important and inevitable. Suddenly, he rubs his forehead and sighs deeply like he's completely exhausted. “Are you alright, Xyana?”I turn to him with a smile. "Oh, I'm so eager to meet the pack members. I've been looking forward to this day for a while now. Thank you so much for this opportunity."Lifting his gaze to me, he frowns. “That’s not what I'm asking. Is there something you want to tell me?”I shake my head instantly, feigning ignorance, but I guess my shaky fingers blow my cover. “I don’t know what you mean, Alpha.”He shot me a very serious glare that made

~Xyana~We walk back leisurely, and I listen to Mona attentively as she explains the organization of the square to me. She went through the sitting arrangements, and we had to halt at a point to get a clear understanding of her explanations with the help of the illustrated plan on her tablet.An hour later, I was completely exhausted. Adina had arrived with my breakfast earlier and insisted on waiting on the meal until I was ready to eat.After eating, I listened to Mona go on and on about the preparations, and when she was done, I got to understand where it might have gone wrong. The focus of her plan is on the seating arrangement and lighting, which isn't bad, but It could be adjusted. Reducing the lightening and instead, introducing soft lights. Since it's a marking ceremony, soft light will offer mates some privacy. Besides, we are werewolves, so it's okay to mark and maybe fuck our mates during the mating ceremony, which would be a full moon night too

~Xyana~When we get home, Dion leads me to my room on Gaston's floor as he gives me the top gist about a couple of the pack members. We arrive at my room; he stops at the door, a sad smile on his face. "It feels so good to see you happy, Sunshine." He says, touching my cheeks gently. "I hope you have a lovely evening with Bones."I clear my throat, "thank you." I say, kissing his finger on my cheek.We just stand there staring lovingly at each other while I enjoy the hell out of his scent. After a few seconds or minutes, I can't be too sure. He shakes his head, grinning. "Oh, looks like you want to eat me up with those eyes." He jokes, laughing lowly. He plants a kiss on my forehead and says; "I want to stay right here with you, but I have to really go. The Alpha gave me a couple of assignments to carry out. But I took out time to check on you since it was your first time going to the construction site.""Thank you for always caring about me. See you l

~Xyana~Stepping out of my room, I head straight downstairs and run into an Omega along the hallway.She directs me to Clifton's office and I head outside the pack house. Shielding my eyes from the fading rays of the evening sun, I turn the curve to the same complex building where Gaston's office is located.I pass the large living room and take the stairs to the first floor which brings me to a door with the tag; 'Beta Clifton.' My heart beats into my throat and I gulp down before knocking.He calls me in from behind the door and when I step inside, it is obvious that he isn't expecting to see me. But he immediately wipes the shocked expression from his face and clears his throat."What are you doing here?" He asks."Umm... The Alpha sent me."He stares at me, a deep scowl on his face. But I continue speaking. "He says you should reply to his mails immediately, and I should treat the message as urgent.""I just replied to his mail," Clifton tell

~Xyana~“I'll tell my mates, I'll start with Declan, tonight," I tell Clifton. "And for your information, if they reject me, get ready to be rejected by me too,” I whisper and start heading to the door."Never!" Clifton yells. "You can never reject me."Inhaling sharply, I wipe my eyes before the tears can fall and turn around to see Clifton standing right beside me. 'How did he do that?' A frown has replaced his arrogant expression as he looks at me.“What?” I ask, my voice shaking embarrassingly.He adjusts his weight onto his other leg as he clicks his tongue. “I'm not asking you to tell them because I want to punish you, I'm asking you to tell them because they deserve to know the truth. And even though I might be praying that they take it so badly and it ends with rejection, it doesn't make me evil or a villain.”“Ha,” I breathe out, letting my arms slump to my sides. “Go fuck yourself, Clifton!”He smiles, "I like it when you try to act me

~Xyana~Days rolled by. I had access to the television where I kept checking all the news channels. Nothing about my disappearance was being mentioned and none of my mates came for me.Maybe I should wonder why they would come for me when it's obvious they don't know where I'm being held currently.But I'm out here without my phone, and I'm unable to reach out to any of them. All I have access to is the television, where I keep skimming through channels every day in the hope that I'll see something that could convince me that my mates are out there, looking for me.But there's nothing. By the third day, I'd already given up. Maybe they've all moved on without me. Maybe I think too highly of myself.Is it possible that they don't want me as their mate? Even if others don't, what about my Dion? Surely he will want me as much as I want him.I'm still in deep thought when a hand touches my arm so gently."Hi," I greeted Zegulf with a sad smile. "Bea

~Declan~It's been three days, yet we haven't made any headway. All the attempts we've made to get information on Xyana's whereabouts have been futile.Even the informants we sent out to gather information from the Crimson pack came back with absolutely nothing. Rhen was clueless as well. Even with Gaston's help, both of them are still no match for Kadila who is by far the cruelest witch I've ever had a personal encounter with.The fact that Kadila played a major role in the death of my parents still leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and I want so hard to rip her apart. But even I know that I can't do that so easily when she is everything diabolical.Maybe if Gaston had embraced his gift of wizardry earlier and not pushed it away only to use it when he deemed fit which is rarely by the way. Maybe, just maybe, he would have gained more power over time.Being from a rare bloodline of witches is a good thing. But practicing continuously would have helped hi

~Xyana~"That doesn't make sense." I refused to accept that the video I just watched was real. "Is that video doctored, Alpha Zegulf?" The man's right eyebrow shot up. Then his mouth curved in a smile. "Your defence is that the video was probably doctored?" He asks, pinning me with his gaze."So what do you want me to believe? You suddenly found a hidden camera, and luckily, the camera caught everything that happened. Are you kidding me?"Alpha Zegulf shakes his head, "you look so cute when you try to make your point known.""You've not answered any of my questions yet." I remind him, and he takes a deep calming breath before he replies in his usual jovial tone."The video is not doctored, Firefly. And it didn't miraculously fly into my hands. I sought for it. I needed the proof too."I slide him a cautious glare and he reciprocates with a sweet smile. "So what are you trying to prove with all of this then? That Gideon wanted to have me killed?"

~Xyana~Nobody came to my room again after Alpha Zegulf left. Within that brief moment of being alone, I checked for the possibility of escaping the room, and as I'd suspected, it was nil.The windows are barricaded with protective bars, the door was locked from outside and even the bathroom window was barricaded.I'm so confused and speechless. Juno's absence makes it worse. Why in the goddess's name can't I feel her? What's wrong?I'm still battling internally when a knock comes on the door and a few seconds later, Alpha Zegulf pushes the door open. His presence makes me feel unsettled.I quickly adjust and sink into the bed more. He waves his hands, shaking his head. "Don't do that, Xyana. I would never hurt you." He tells me. "Don't run away from me."I simply stare blankly at him while still squeezing my frame away from him. He brings a tablet forward. "Can I sit?" He asks, pointing to the space on the bed.I shrug, "this is your house.""An

~Gaston~It's stupid to leave my pack in pursuit of my brothers' mate. But a lot of things aren't adding up and I seriously wish to get to the root of everything as soon as possible. So Rhen, Clifton, and I left the pack in pursuit of the vision Rhen and I saw of Xyana. A vision I can feel its faintness within me, one that doesn't feel like Xyana was there anymore.But that is not something I think I should share with anyone just yet. Not until I'm certain of what exactly is happening. The vision Rhenat and I had pointed us to Xyana's location which was in the outskirts of Gurreo-Valley. I let Clifton drive us while typing out messages to one of my most trusted allies. Getting to my pack's border is a long journey of its own unless the individual shifts to their wolf form and runs the distance.Most times I wonder why werewolves stress themselves so much with cars and motorbikes when an average werewolf can run faster than both.I guess civilizat

~Xyana~The next morning or afternoon, 'I've lost track of time,' but the next time I wake, it is already bright. I'm greeted by an influx of maids who explain that they're here to literally help me settle in. 'Settle in, how?' Shouldn't the Alpha be talking about sending words to Gurreo-Valley? At least he knows the pack I come from. So why is he sending Maids to help me settle in?I don't miss the fact that my wounds are barely painful anymore and the one on my arm looks dried up. The doctor must have done a lot with all the Intravenous injections from yesterday.And that reminds me that the healer didn't come again. I try to feel Juno again, but still nothing. Now I'm extremely worried. But I'm not sure it's wise to bring up my worries with Alpha Zegulf. It's bad enough that my wounds aren't healing as they ought out considering the fact that I'm a werewolf.So complaining about my wolf will only make my savior question my existence. Firstly, t

~Clifton~Rhenat the witch got smuggled into the pack house by my brothers and me, while Gaston made sure to create enough distraction to keep the guards occupied.Rhen was the last witch to leave our pack after our parents' death. There was a great war between the vampires and the witches while we were still babies. The witches were killed and slaughtered. A few of them who managed to seek help from our pack were kept safe and hidden away until the war came to an end.Lots of them left after showing great gratitude to my parents by helping them around the pack. But Rhenat stayed back. She made friends with my mother while she was still hiding away, and she was the only witch amongst the others who found out what my mother was, and the fact that Gaston had gotten my mother's rare gift, as we chose to call it back then.However, things later went south after our parents' death. The battle of the supernatural is a never-ending one. Each day, various supe

~Zegulf~I made sure Xyana was properly covered before inviting the Witch and the Alpha's Cabal into my room.I'm certain she won't wake up until the Witch is done because of the sleeping spell that would be cast on her. Ezra, Roldolf, and Thaddeus are standing close to the door while Kadila, the Witch, sits on the floor, and I take a seat on the bed beside Xyana, my fingers entwined with hers as we wait to hear from Kadila.She takes her time to attend to Xyana's wounds first as I ordered, before starting on the other reasons she came. It takes a couple of minutes before she smiles. "Her Wolf is simply hiding away. She doesn't want to take part in any of this." Kadila tells us."Her wolf is a coward?" Ezra asks from his position close to the entrance."Shh," Roldolf scolds him. "Don't speak about the Moon-made like that. Her wolf must have a reason for hiding away."Thaddeus is about to join in their conversation when I lift my hand and s

~Xyana~"You're an Alpha?" I ask the Alpha as he steps into the car."Yes."His expression softens, and then he grabs my face and shifts closer like he's studying a particular spot on my face. "I'll help you clean up when we get home." He says simply, his gaze pinned on me."You mean your pack house?" I croak out."Yes." "I can clean up by myself."His mouth curves into a smile as he leans back onto the car seat. "You and I know that's not even possible. You're hurt, I'll help you. I'm only offering help. Nothing out of the ordinary." I dart my eyes around, determined to look at anyone but him. Settling my gaze on my hospital gown, I nod at him. "As long as you'll help with just my hands, face, and legs.""Oh, I'll help with everywhere." He tells me and I freeze, slipping him a curious glare as well. He laughs tenderly, "Just kidding." He says. "I'll take your cue, always."There is something about the way he stressed the last word that
