HAYDEN
I feel it. I felt the coming of the storm that Sir Benhur mentioned before, and I had to prepare the pack for it. To do that, I have to return to being the ruthless alpha to keep my pack safe as much as possible, and since my wife’s thorns have been helping us around the security, I have to make sure my pack can fight to the death.
“AGAIN!” I heard Harriett’s firm and commanding voice echo throughout the training field, where I saw a tired but determined pack doing drills with her.
“You're giving them a hard time.” With an amused smirk, I coldly commented to my sister.
“Salute,” Harriett told them and made them all greet me with respect.
“At ease and continue.” With firmn
ROXANNE“You know my connection to Sonia’s fallen rogue, right?” I quickly asked Frizabelle as soon as we got out of the mansion.“Yes, that’s another reason why my wife agreed to help you. You’re the last bloodline of the Escoffier and the only talented vaewolf in your family.” With a grin, she admitted and hopped on the horse that I created in this subspace through the peaceful memory of the land. It looked like we were back to how this small town was built before I was even born.“You knew?” I was shocked as I rode the horse, and we went on our stroll.“Ceres, she had our mate’s soul residing inside her.” She winked, making me nod since she was clarifying what I had sensed to Lady Ceres before even just mentioning her name. I could feel a strong power, which was not from her alone.
ROXANNE“Moon Rose Dance—Ventura…” I thought carefully when I saw what was engraved on the sword’s blade.“I SAID GIVE IT BACK!” Marvin roared at me as if his life depended on the sword, which was disturbing.With confusion running inside my head, I remained composed and quiet as I didn’t retaliate to his hot-headed and baseless attempt. His punches and kicks might have contained heaviness and power; however, I managed to either block or deflect them, which annoyed him more. He doubled up his attempt, making him lose his patience, and despite his attempt coming from my blind spot, he couldn’t land a perfect critical hit on me. All his attacks go in vain, which fuels his anger, and the more he loses his cool, the more he b
HAYDENBetween the five of us in the mansion within my wife’s subspace, tension was building up, and nobody was agreeing with each other. Maybe that’s because of Lady Celestial Ceres Aspire-Marshall’s presence. She might not be saying much regarding the deal, but her presence was enough to pressure the three nobles with us. They started firing their opinions and disagreement, which I fueled more. We were arguing to the point that it became nonsense and off-topic, making me glance over at the spectator, Lady Ceres, and on cue, she interjected.“As much as I loved to see you argue, it's better to rest, or else you’ll take more than a day to settle the agreement.” With an amused smirk, Lady Ceres reminded us to calm down before we ended up not getting what we wanted from each other.“You’
HAYDEN“Jean, back to the pack.” I quickly told Jean, who had been waiting by my wife’s car.“Understood, Alpha.” With a hurried voice, Jean politely answered and opened the car door for us.“Sonia, drive my car,” I told her, but before we could even move, we heard the immortal blood couple’s voice.“Shut it, wifey.”“What?”“Are they arguing?” Jean whispered, making us shake our heads since we were unsure if they were arguing or just being themselves.“Who knows.” I shrugged my shoulders as I responded.
Shaking. I’m shaking too much to something I wasn’t prepared to dream of.‘Kill them all. Make sure no one escapes.’In the deepest abyss of the darkest side of night creatures’ realm, an amused voice spread out a command that forced lower creatures to obey. I can’t bear to witness what was about to unfold before my sight. But the slaughtering and mass murdering erupted terror at the once peaceful small rural village. I know nobody survived there. There was no sign of life left and the murderers were gone. I thought the nightmare was done and I was going to wake up but when the heavy rain started to wipe out the flames engulfing the entire area. But something caught my feet and followed the trail of blood on the ground where I found one survivor.‘Help…me…’
HAYDEN“It’s been so long since that dream kept recurring in my sleep…” I thought as I jumped from my bed from the sudden knock echoing around my room.‘Hayden, wake up we need to talk.’I know what they were after and won’t be able to dodge it. I have to face it if they won’t be persistent pests. But I speak too soon since as soon as I head downstairs to chat with the family, I don’t like what I hear.“Find your Luna as soon as possible.” I glared at my number one persistent pack elder, grandfather.Hearing him uttered those words, I was starting to get grumpy right after I woke up from my rest and weird dream but due to his words that I’m not ready to face, I’m starting to lose control. An
“HAYDEN ENOUGH!” A firm and intimidating voice from the previous alpha and my father, Venic shouted at me. I didn’t care.“ALPHA HAYDEN, STOP!” Then another voice shouted at me but it held a worried tone and it came from only a down-to-earth brother and a pack doctor, Henry but I didn’t listen.I kept slaughtering rogues by ripping them with my bare hands although they were lifeless already. I kept shredding them as if they were just a piece of paper and I didn’t care if I was already bathing with their stinking blood. This is who I am now; a ruthless-heartless monster and I can’t stop. I already had sunk this deep.“HAYDEN!” but someone still could reach out to my sanity, Harriett, my sister, and pack gamma called out to me with her firm
HAYDEN“Alpha Hayden…” My ears perked up upon hearing Sue, my omega who was serving in the pack house enter after a knock.I was usually at my alpha office to deal with the paperwork and make some deals with neighboring packs. It was tiring but it kept my mind off from my sensitive past that I don’t want to touch or recall at the moment since I have to be the alpha that everyone should fear and not belittle like they once did.“What is it?” I coldly responded without looking and let me do my work since it had been piled up, again.“Dr. Henry told me to give it to you since it needed your approval.” The omega handed me an envelope and left after I received it.“My approval?” I wondered since my siblings usually bragged i

ROXANNEIt has been three days ever since our travel to the city and making a deal with Sonia in person. Luckily, when we arrived at the pack, nothing bad disturbed the pack while we were away. Everything was smooth sailing, but our deal with Sonia was on the move, and Hayden could not come with me to make it down. I decided to travel again back to the city with Jean since RJ could not come or Hayden wouldn't let me travel alone, which we ended up arguing about until Jean suggested coming with me. So, here we are. I brought her with me not only because we didn't have a choice but also because Jean grew up mostly around the city and to keep myself safe from Sonny's radar while I was here."I didn't expect you to have a house in this prestigious private village." Jean was like a kid who received a Christmas gift. Her eyes twinkled as soon as we entered the house.
HAYDENA peek. It was a quick sight, but it was undeniably there. Something struck a nerve in Sonia, sparking a reaction that I was hoping to see. A confirmation of what she desired most—vengeance—and we are eager to assist her only to gain what we want from her. With a devilish grin, I know how this game will end—in bloodshed."If you thought I was indicating something, you were mistaken. My wife and I had planned to develop a commercial town, which, of course, had a secret Intel goal." I was playing along to get her to agree and add. "We also wanted to be the center of information of all creatures since having that privilege had power that couldn't be destroyed.""And where would you like to build them?" She inquired in a curious tone. Bingo! That was what I hoped to hear from her. I
HAYDEN“Right on the point.” Saya grinned as she agreed to my wife’s guess.“We already know that she was the cause of the imbalance around our kind. She became a bad, manipulative vampire noble for something, and I think you know the root of her fall.” Nathaniel elaborated on what they knew about Sonia’s case.“And you’re not doing anything because there’s no concrete evidence pointing to it being surely her doing, am I, right?” I shared my thoughts, and they agreed by nodding to my guess. “I see. How about you send a letter on our behalf?”“Meaning?” Nathaniel wondered what I was up to.“We’re going to use Sonia’s connection against her, and I know we can’t do that without getting in her circle. We have to get inside and use it against her. We n
HAYDEN"Hope after all of these, we could start a family." I sighed hopefully as soon as my father cut off the link, but I suddenly felt a cold vibe coming from my right.I glanced at my wife, where I noticed her cold facade written on her face. She looked serious, and her aura shifted from relaxed to dangerous. My eyes narrowed at what made her mood shift, making me place my hand on her thigh as I confidently calmed her down. Luckily, it did its effect and caught her deep in thought at a halt, but she gave me a tight smile. I could pry into her thoughts, but I'd rather not for this moment. It's better to hear them than read between the lines, which I might interpret wrong."What is it?" I asked, calmly, wondering what had caused her to be in deep thought. But since my wi
