#CHAPTER66
TORTURED
ANNIE'S POV
"This will be fun," Justin smirked. I shuddered when three female guards walked in and took over from Justin and Drake.
"I heard you lost your memory." One of the ladies said and punched me in the face and I felt an eruption of pain as blood started to drip down from my face, lips, and onto my chest.
Another of the women aimed a blow right into my stomach "Are you ready to speak." She yelled at me and I heard the sound of three sinister laughs filling the room. Alpha Drake and Beta Justin had already vacated the room and I was left alone with the ladies. They all looked the same tall, red-haired, and athletic.
WHO AM IANNIE'S POVI woke up with a start when I felt cold water splash over me. I gasped as the sting of the icy cold water drenched my body."Finally, you are awake " Beta Justin sneered at me. I notice alpha Drake standing beside him but the three ladies that tortured me were nowhere around.I felt temporarily relieved because somehow I felt safer with the men than with the ladies."We heard you are ready to talk and it would be great if you don't make us wait." Alpha Drake saidI looked from the alpha to his beta, I had no choice but to give them the information they wanted.
MAKING MY PLANSANNIE'S POVFLASHBACKThe energy inside the club was at its peak and stiff with a sizable crowd. I noticed a young man and a woman at the corner of the club. She was dressed in a turquoise blue body-hugging dress with bold red lipstick plastered on her lips, she was petite and beautiful. I got to know that her name was Amber after some hours in the club.Amber was not too happy to be there from what I observed, she would rather be home in the hands of her boyfriend. The problem was that she came to the club with the said boyfriend and she had done this just to please him.I noticed that her boyfriend tried to do everything to make her more
SEDUCING CHRIS ANNIE'S POV I looked at the two men standing before me, they had not blinked since I started recounting my story, and judging by their stance, I knew that I still had their full attention. Without hesitating, I continued with my story. "I took some of the blood I had collected from Chris and injected it into my body. As soon as I did that I also lost consciousness." I smiled remembering what happened when I finally woke up. "What happened next?" Alpha Drake asked impatiently. I was not aware that I had taken too much time to speak. "We…I mean." I stuttered trying to regain composure, the alpha had a way of getting into someone's frightening skin.
DRAKE'S POVListening to Annie confess all the outlandish things she had done to Chris and Amber and the werewolves in general, I had to restrain myself from wrapping my hand around her neck and snapping out her life in one breath.But on better judgment, I knew it was better to keep her alive. Just like her father she could be useful to us someday and bearing in mind that we are being targeted by humans.I had hoped Annie knew more about Kates's sudden kidnapping but she seemed to be in the dark about that. It only meant one thing, other wolf hunters were trying to get their hands on us and destroy us. I hated war; it only left the stench of death and pain in its wake.Just as Justin and I were leaving the station after interrogating Annie, the pack guard
TRACKING DEVICEDRAKE'S POV"You don't look remorseful about your daughter's devious acts," I say to the prisoner"Why should I? I have trained her all her life to master skills that would enable her to conquer and survive the world, especially if I am not around." He smirked, "And she did just that."I could not resist the chuckle that built within me "I admire your courage, even though it is very foolish. You are a prisoner in wolf territory for a year now and your daughter just joined you. Yet you stand before us and praise your daughters foolhardy." I said"I reckon that you are either brave or grossly stupid." Justin barked at him.Our words seemed to arouse a sense of reasonin
WOLF HUNTERS DRAKE'S POV Going by what Annie's father told us, the wolf hunters knew where we were and this gave them an edge over us. Instead of allowing them to come to us, we decided to go to them instead. And we were going as soon as possible, no need to wait because it could cost us. Mark was asked to stay behind in the pack, we could not all leave the pack unguarded. Justin, myself, two patrol guards, and four combat warriors went into the woods to capture the wolf hunters. We wore clothing that would camouflage with the woods before embarking on our journey. We commenced our journey at midnight because humans loved their sleep and surprising them while they slept was the best deal we had. We combed the south part of the
JUST BECAUSE OF YOUZara'S POV********************I stood in shock as I watched what transpired before me, it was as if I was seeing a different Drake, the brutal side of him.I watched as he interrogated the humans, I gasped in shock as he broke the neck of one and he slumped and died. Then Justin used something that he was holding to search them, afterward Drake tore their skin with a knife, and even as they shouted out in pain he ignored them, and then he brought out something which he trampled under his feet.When he ordered them to be killed, I was shocked and could not hold it in any longer. I never imagined that Drake could be brutal and
IN THE WOODS Zara'S POV Things fell back to normal around the pack, there had been no attacks or perpetrators in the pack. Drake seemed relieved even though he still had an air of edginess around him. Being the alpha was a tough job and he had to look out for everyone's interests. After some days cooped up in the pack house, Drake invited me to the woods with him. He wanted us to have a quiet time alone away from the pack. As we entered the forest, the first thing that caught my attention was the heightened fences. I assumed it was a security precaution. We made our way to our favorite spot in the forest, located a few kilometers from the creek. To my surprise, I saw a ne
THE LIFE OF BLAKENARRATOR’S POVAs Blake grew up, he quickly realized that he was not like other children. He was stronger, faster, and more agile than anyone else in his class. He also had an unusual thirst for blood, which he struggled to keep under control.Despite his unique abilities, Blake tried his best to fit in with the other children in his pack. He attended school with them and played sports, but he always felt like an outsider.Blake's mother, Zara, did her best to help him navigate the challenges of being a werewolf with vampire blood. She taught him how to control his thirst and how to use his unique abilities to his advantage.His father, Drake, also played a significant role in Blake's life. He taught him how to hunt and how to fight, instilling in him a deep sense of loyalty to his pack and his family.As Blake grew older, he began to realize that he was not the only one with unique abilities. He discovered that there were other vampires and werewolves in the world,
A THREAT OF MISCARRIAGEZara lay in her bed, writhing in pain. She clutched her stomach, tears streaming down her face as she tried to fight off the pain that was tearing through her body. She knew what was happening - she was having a miscarriage.Drake sat by her side, holding her hand and whispering words of comfort. But he knew that there was nothing he could do to ease her pain. He had never felt so helpless in his life.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Drake stood up to answer it, and he was surprised to find the vampire king standing outside."Your highness," Drake said, bowing respectfully. "What brings you here?"The vampire king's face was grim as he stepped inside. "I have come to help your Luna," he said. "I sense that she is in great pain."Drake led the vampire king to Zara's side, where she was still moaning in agony. The vampire king knelt beside her, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly light."Let me help," he said, placing a hand on Zara's forehead. She fli
THE WOLF WITHINZara had always known that she was different. As a wolf, she had a grace and power that was unmatched by any other in the pack. But it wasn't until the scientists came that she realized just how special she really was.They had been watching her for weeks, tracking her movements and taking samples of her blood. Zara didn't know why they were doing it, but she could sense that something was off. She felt like a lab rat, and she didn't like it one bit.One day, when the scientists came to take her blood again, something inside Zara snapped. She felt a surge of energy flow through her body, and suddenly she was surrounded by a brilliant white light.The scientists were taken aback, staring at her in shock as her transformation continued. Her fur turned white as snow, and her eyes began to glow with an otherworldly power.Zara didn't know what was happening, but she knew that she had to get out of there. With a fierce growl, she lunged at the nearest scientist, her jaws sn
THE JOURNEY OF THE LONE WOLFNARRATOR'S POVDrake ran as fast as he could through the thick forest, the leaves crunching beneath his paws. He could feel the wind blowing through his fur as he dodged branches and trees in his way. He didn't stop until he was deep within the woods, far away from anyone who might be able to track him down.He let out a howl, a mournful cry that echoed through the trees. It was a cry of pain and loss, for his Luna Zara had been taken from him. He was not satisfied by his kills even though they had deserved death, their blood did not placate him. He remembered last night's event, he wondered how they took Zara away because there were no signs of a struggle, no clues as to where she had been taken. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.Drake had been devastated. Zara was his mate, his soulmate, and he had loved her deeply. They were just starting their journey, and he couldn't imagine life without her. He had searched for her tirelessly but to no ava

His memory of last night was still blurry and his head hurt like hell. As he called for his wife, he tried to make sense of what was happening and also recall what happened last night. He remembered having an informal dinner with his betas present, Zara was also there and he almost forgot he had invited those two men. A feeling of dread rushed over him, who really were William and Seth? "Where are they?" Drake nearly screamed off the pack house."Who?" Mark looked on in confusion, his head was throbbing and he could still not feel some part of his body."Our guests, William and Seth Alpha and of Shadow pack. Have you seen them?""No, I have not, oh my goodness. I hope that they don't have anything to do with this." Mark replied."I think they are the brains behind all this, they are gone, and so is my Zara." D
TAKENNARRATOR'S POVWilliam got hold of Drake's car keys, it was the only way they would be able to get out of the pack fast enough before the drugs starts to wear off. Even though the portion was very potent and lasted for hours, he could not take chances He ordered Seth to bring Zara along and he lifted her easily and placed her on his shoulders. The car was packed outside the pack house which made it easier for them, Seth Carefully placed Zara into the passenger seat, William took the wheels and Seth sat behind in the car.They drove off as soon as they were all seated, their only worry was how they will pass the gate that enclosed the community."What will you tell the guards," Seth murmured as they got closer to the gate."Nothing," William replied"We are good as dead then." Seth smacked his face"Stop being a drama queen. The illusions won't Wear off till for hours to come."As they got close to the gate and the guard came to them, Seth's heart beat faster, it was only when th
DECEPTIONNARRATOR'S POV**********************A FEW DAYS LATERZara decided to go for a small walk, she could not shift into a wolf at this stage of her pregnancy to avoid having a miscarriage. But she did not mind, her only concern was for the wellbeing of her unborn child. Her plan was to walk the short distance between the pack house and the cafe. She would branch into the cafe for her favorite chocolate milkshake then continue with her walk.However, she met one of the twins Jasmine and her mother Cecilia in the cafe. She was surprised when they stopped her and engaged in small talk. The rude young lady with a temper sounded more mature and accommodating, even her mother was not as condescending as before.Zara was not sure what brought about the change but whatever it was she was happy to see so much growth in Jasmine. When they finally parted ways Zara could not continue with her planned walk because it was almost noon.On her way back, Zara felt goosebumps run over her body,
HOW DO WE GO ABOUT ITNARRATOR'S POVDrake checked his phone and it had five missed calls all from Justine. "You would think I have stolen his mate or something," Drake mumbled"Is everything alright?" Zara turned to face him."Yes, don't worry, go back to sleep." He kissed her forehead, and Zara slept off almost immediately.Drake left the bed and went to the balcony. It had been ages since he ran and it was just some minutes to six. He could run if he wanted to, his wolf beckoned to the forest and it howled begging for release. The fresh air and the dews called out to his wolf. He was already naked because he loved sleeping naked and since Zara came into his life, it was easier and best to sleep skin-to-skin with her. From his balcony, he jumped out and stretched, shifting to his wolf form in the air and landing on his paws. He ran into the woods with so much gust, strength, and power. His nose flared from the early morning wind, his paws romanced the damp earth, and Drake was fulf
ARE THEY FOR REALNARRATOR'S POV"Why did you choose our pack?" Drake asked the visitors."We have heard a lot of good things about the Blackwood pack even before we were invaded and we thought of you guys first upon our escape," William replied, he made a point of meeting the eyes of each man in the room"For your own sake, I hope you are telling the truth." Drake replied "We don't like traitors and if you plan to deceive us you will wish the wolf hunters had dealt with you and not us." I understand sir, all I want is help to rescue my pack," William repeated."We will get back to you." Drake's mind linked a guard who took the two men away, he was to provide them food and shelter and they must be guarded at all times.As soon as William and Seth left the room, Drake and his betas went in for a private meeting just within them. "There seems to be trouble waiting on standby for us," Justine remarked"Why do you say that?" Mark asked, "We have been solving one case after another for
