TANGLED TAILS AND HEARTS 11
“Fortunately, no one was dead,” Sadie said, and everyone took a huge breath of relief. “But a lot were injured. The amount of major injuries alone was fifty-seven.” Sadie replied without mincing words. Easton came to stand beside Aurora and held her hands in his for comfort while Alec came to Maverick's side.“There were minor injuries?” Layla asked, and Hilda nodded.“A lot of that,” Hilda said.“But all of them needed treatment,” she glanced at the ruined clinic. “As soon as possible.”Kael and a man came out of the pack house. Maverick guessed that they must have gone to check the level of damage.“The situation was worse inside. The only place miraculously untouched was the main office. All the files were safe, but not the rooms. It couldn't be managed for the time being,” Kael informed, and Aurora sucked in a breath. They must have wanted to keep the members of the pack there for a bit until they tried to find a way, but they weren’t seeing anything.“The fire wasn't natural, righ

“You should absolutely not do that, Alpha!” Dan exclaimed in exasperation as soon as they were out of view of the others. Only the representatives from the Moonlight Pack were present now, apart from Sadie and Hilda, who were still tending to the injured in the field.Maverick merely glanced at him before turning his attention to the burnt buildings in the distance. The injured had been gathered under a tent in the middle of the field since the clinic had completely collapsed. Sadie worked diligently, moving from one person to the next. Maverick doubted she would have stayed back even if he had told her to. Her instincts as a doctor wouldn’t have allowed it. But he also knew it had more to do with the kind of person she was—so much like her father, the former pack doctor.“Have you thought this through?” Jared asked, his brows furrowed. Maverick glanced at him and nodded. He understood the outburst he had made earlier was just a flash of anger that would eventually simmer down.“It wou

“Thanks a lot for the protection, Aurora. I’m sorry that some bitch set your place on fire. Don’t forget to call me when you need help from my side,” a woman, the epitome of a lone rogue, said. Aurora nodded while the rest stood back and let them talk.“Why don’t you join us, Cali? It would be better if we moved together,” Aurora suggested, but the woman shook her head.“Nope. I prefer solitude. Don’t worry about me. How about this? When I think it’s time to settle in a place, you’ll be the first person I seek out,” Cali replied, and Aurora nodded again.“But you must tell us if you’re in danger or need our help too. It works both ways!” Layla hollered from the passenger seat as she sat beside Floyd. Cali chuckled before nodding.“Alright. I can do that. I’ll be on my way now,” she said before she shapeshifted into a brown wolf and darted into the forest.Vans had been sent from Moonlight Pack to help them get to their destination quickly. How they managed to organize such resources we

Aurora tensed against her will the moment they stepped inside the Moonlight Pack territory the next day. The images of her and Easton crossing the territory line years ago, battered, tattered, and bleeding profusely, flashed vividly in her mind. Their throats had been parched, their eyes drooping, and their bodies weak from exhaustion.The men had managed to fix the car and get it running again that morning, thankfully avoiding any rogue encounters along the way. It seemed the proximity to Moonlight Pack’s territory provided a lot of safety.She felt someone slip their hand into hers and turned to see Easton nodding at her with reassurance, though his eyes remained unreadable. She nodded back, squeezing his hand tightly.Kael glanced at them briefly before focusing his attention back on the road ahead.In a blink, they passed faces Aurora recognized—some altered slightly, others unchanged, even though the pack itself had undergone significant transformation.The once-humble surrounding

"Why the hell would Crystalbelle be after you?" Zach had asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. "We know she's envious of you, but she wouldn’t go this far just out of envy." Aurora had simply shrugged in response."If she knew, would she be here devising strategies to capture that bitch with all of us?" Layla had chimed in, rolling her eyes at Zach. He had only shaken his head, choosing not to respond to her sarcasm."Hilton’s already on it," Aurora had informed the group. "I got a signal from the west, and he volunteered to check it out. He should be back in a week or so.""I’ll put together a list of all those nonsensical packs trying to oppose us," Easton had added. "We’ll track down whoever leaked information to Crystalbelle." Aurora had nodded approvingly."I’d like it if you also compiled a list of witch covens," Aurora had said firmly. "I’m not leaving them out of this. They’re still sore about me rejecting their stupid organization. They might’ve turned to her to use her as a

“Thanks, Jay. Come in, Aurora,” Maverick said, and the receptionist nodded with a smile before waltzing away.Aurora stepped inside and glanced around in awe. The room was nothing like she expected—it felt extraordinarily cozy and homely, a stark contrast to the image of the strict, commanding Alpha he projects.This was the kind of place that seemed to shut out the chaos of the Moonlight Pack, creating a sanctuary where one could almost pretend to be a normal human.“Your place is nice,” she said, her voice tinged with surprise.“Thanks,” Maverick replied, gesturing toward a matte comforter before walking away.Aurora wandered closer to the shelves, her fingers lightly brushing against the few books and the polished surface of a decorative figurine. It was strange to see this side of him—a man who seemed so much more grounded and human than the Maverick she remembered.He returned moments later, carrying two glasses of beer. Placing them on the table, he motioned for her to sit on the

Aurora crossed her arms as Jerry fixed her with a disappointed look.“You’re already biting the hand that fed you,” Jerry said, his tone sharp but calm. “I’ve heard about the way you’ve been acting, like a loose cannon. But I never thought you’d direct it at your own family. This is a new low, even for you. This woman” —he gestured at Alita— “raised the abomination that you are and endured everyone's criticism.”Aurora smirked, her expression cold. “Low, you say? If she didn’t want criticism, she should’ve made better decisions. I am sure that a process called abortion already existed when she got pregnant with this abomination and she wasn’t blind when she spread her legs for the man who gave her this ominous gift.”Alita’s face reddened with fury. “How dare you speak to me like that, Aurora?! Take that back right now!”“Oh? I can't? So now there are rules about who can say what?” Aurora sneered. “Since you were talking shits, I thought it was a matter of who had more trash about the

“Trust me, I wanted to kill those rude bitches all those years! If I’d had my witch powers back then, I would’ve brewed some evil potions. I’m sure they would’ve been potent! Maybe I would live up to the rumors about me then!” Aurora yelled, throwing her hands up as she downed another glass of beer.She stood in the middle of the VIP room they had rented at a bar in the heart of Earnest Valley.The dance floor outside was too crowded, and none of them felt like mingling with the members of the Moonlight Pack. Despite the truce, things were still uneasy between the groups and Aurora's reputation was a crucial reason too.“No, I wouldn’t. Those rumors clearly said ‘people,’ and those bitches are everything except that!” she added, draining another glass.“You’re drunk, Aurora,” Layla said with exasperation, though she made no move to take the drinks away. It would have been a pointless effort anyway.“What nonsense, Layla! What nonsense!” Aurora exclaimed, swaying to the loud music playi

In a very dark eerie room that had little to no ray of sunshine, Alpha Saxton sat on the chair in front of his desk, working on something on his laptop when there was a knock on the door.He gave a hum and the door opened, Rees entered the room and sighed when he was standing in front of him.“Are you supposed to be chilling now?”“I definitely know that I am not supposed to be brooding.”“Maverick already knows the Alphas that joined hands against them,” Rees informed and Saxton nodded.“I know that it was only about time before he found out about them and fished them out, that's not necessarily a bad thing.”“You said so now but I don't think that those Alpha thinks that,”“Not my problem.”“Do you want to see them all?”“Why should I? They are not my problem at the moment. They should pay the price for being stupid,”“Understood.”“Did Maverick see to the matter himself?” He asked as he continued typing on his laptop.“No, Aurora was the one they met,”“No wonder they thought they

Maverick and Aurora stood to the side after descending from the podium and watched everything with hawk eyes.Aurora, who was continuously greeted since her speech, had her hand crossed over her chest, calculating, in her head, the right time to go into the woods and set the plans in motion. “Aurora,” Layla said, approaching them with a glass of champagne in hand and a smile on her face. “You look so beautiful tonight.”Her eyes raked over her sleek, fitted, black mini gown. The velvet material that hung to her body was backless and shimmering, the hemline fell just above her knees, a pair of strappy stilettos on her feet and her face that had moderate makeup that accentuated her features before she gave a nod of approval.“Thanks Layla, but I think that you look more gorgeous,” Aurora replied, waving her away which caused her glittering bangle wraps to jingle.Layla was wearing a knee-length silver sequin gown that caught the light and clung to her body, pronouncing all her curves a

The mate awakening ceremony was an outdoor party in Moonlight Pack and it was usually held in the vast field in front of the pack’s hall because of the large number of werewolves that usually attends that occasion.It was the opportunity for mate less wolves from all across the globe to connect and find their soulmate. Those who get their mates among their pack members are extremely lucky and those who know them as soon as they turn eighteen were extremely rare.The decorations were fantastic and chic, the gold lights also gave the whole place an ethereal glow. The moon --bright and beautiful--was up in the sky and a cool breeze brushed across their werewolves’ skins.It was a night of a lot of things. Love, hatred, disgust, pride, money, authority were usually flaunted at this occasion.Some werewolves were happy, with bright shiny eyes at the prospect of finding their mate tonight while some had nervous smiles on their lips and kept checking their appearance every other minute. Some

“I don’t know that I have unknowingly got you a place near my pack where you could relax and come back to anytime,” Ferix heard Aurora’s voice behind her and he turned to raise a brow at her with a small smile, Aurora walked closer to him and sit down beside him and they both stared at the body of water that was in front of them.“It is peaceful and got this therapeutic feeling to it,”“I have to agree with that,” Aurora shrugged.“It has been a while,” Ferix said and Aurora nodded.Since the night that Ferix had confessed his feelings to her, both of them hardly ever saw each other since both Maverick and Aurora had been caught up with inviting their allies for the mate awakening ceremony, they both also had to make sure that the decorations and the event go smoothly, part of the reason was also the fact that he had been actively avoiding her too.He did not know if any of them noticed but while Aurora was helping with the preparation because she was the leader of rogue pack, orderin

Ferix had run into the man he had come to this side of the city for, and the man had delayed him with talks that Ferix had paid absolutely no attention to. He just wanted to get away.Telling Aurora how he felt hadn’t been a good idea, and he was aware of that, but he couldn’t help it.At that moment, with her eyes lightened up and the laugh he knew he had caused, he had just blurted it out. Nothing good was going to come from it, because even though they were not particularly lovers, it didn’t excuse the fact that they were still mates.“The look on your face tells me that you’ve done something stupid,” he heard and raised his head to see Carly standing off to the side, almost blending with the shadows.“I haven’t done anything stupid!” he snapped at her, and she scoffed.“You’ve definitely done something stupid, so tell me what it was that you did.”“I didn’t do anything. So what the fuck are you doing here?” Ferix asked, walking to where he had parked his car, and Carly tailed afte

“Then I would contact you later,” Maverick said into the phone before he disconnected the call.“Maverick?!” Someone called his name with a loud shrill, and he was forced to turn in the direction of the person who was screaming so loudly in the hospital.“OMG! It’s really you!” she exclaimed as she moved toward him. Maverick was surprised to see the receptionist from the hotel at Eastwood Pack in his pack, but he hid his surprise quite well.“Hi, Carly,” Maverick said, and her eyes brightened when she discovered that the man recognized her.“It’s so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed, and Maverick was almost forced to tell her to calm down, but he held it down.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“I’m here to visit my cousin and have been here for quite some time, but I didn’t have any hope of seeing you since you’re the Alpha and all, but here you are! In the fucking plain sight!” she continued in her shrill voice, already wrapping her arms around Maverick’s and pushing herself c

“I can take care of it here,” Aurora said, but Maverick didn’t pay any attention to her as he continued walking towards the car, her hand in his as he dragged her along.“Seriously, it’s nothing huge, just a bit of cotton, bandages, and a couple of pain relief pills would help,” Aurora insisted, but he just opened the car and sat her down.“You have to recognize the fact that I’m a werewolf too, I have healing abilities too!” she exclaimed.“Healing abilities that are very slow, you forget that part,” Maverick finally replied as he sat behind the wheel. “Just look at yourself in the mirror. Only heaven knows how many bones you’ve broken, your face is all bruised up, and I’m sure your arm is aching from the amount of shooting you’ve done today.”“It’s not as bad as it looks,”“I believe the decision is up to me,” he said. “Now, you’ll sit still like a good girl and let me drive you to the hospital so that Sadie can check you up. I don’t want to hear what you think.”Aurora glared at hi

“You weren’t nice,” Aurora commented, and the woman smirked.“I thought I told you, you were the one who wasn’t taking me seriously,” she replied nonchalantly, taking pride in Aurora’s busted lips.“Then, pardon me for being rude too,” Aurora replied as the woman moved towards her. This time, both of them were merciless. They hit each other fast and hard, barely giving the other a chance to recover before delivering the next blow, but Aurora seemed to be on the winning side, while the other woman was getting tired.Aurora delivered a blow to her jaw, adding another bruise to her already bruised face. She grabbed the woman, who was still sputtering, and flipped her over her shoulder, throwing her on the floor hard. The sound of bones breaking made some of the werewolves on the field cringe. They watched as Aurora cleaned the blood on her lips and face with the back of her hands before groaning when she remembered that she must have dirtied it more because her knuckles were all bruised

Aurora stared at the numerous werewolves scattered across the part of the field that had been designated as the training ground. Many of them were warming up, while others chatted amongst themselves. The Night Pack members stood apart from the members of the Moonlight Pack, none of them willing to familiarize themselves with the others just yet.The Night Pack wouldn’t make the first move, especially since the members of the other pack didn’t show the standard amount of respect for their leader. While they didn’t openly disrespect Aurora, they also didn’t hold her in high regard. Many of them believed that without her spells, she wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Her reliance on magic was something the men, whose pride lay in their strength, found hard to respect.“Good morning,” Maverick’s voice rang out across the field, commanding immediate attention. Even Aurora turned to glance at him.His tone was nothing like the one he used when speaking to her. This voice was authoritativ
