I quickly rushed ahead and saw her lying near the edge where the huge cut tree had fallen a few days ago. Half of her body was resting in water while the other half was resting on the side of the tree. "No," I whispered as I ran ahead, instantly jumping into the river and grabbing her body, pulling it into my arms. I was sniffling and trying to hold back my tears while I swam back to land. Once she was placed on the ground, I looked at her helplessly, tears running down my cheeks. My body was trembling, and my wolf was whimpering loudly. I felt nauseous, and my head was throbbing badly. "She's fine," I said to myself in a cracked voice as I raised my hand and placed it on her chest. "Alpha!" Harvey called when he reached where I was. I looked at him with blurry vision, then back at my mate. "Why?" I whispered in a cracked voice. "Why can't I feel her heartbeat, Harvey?" I asked with a heavy heart, then moved my hand to my chest as I felt like I was suffocating.
View MoreSky's POV"Brother, you shouldn't do this to yourself," Glen said softly in my office.He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded."Do what?" I asked while I read an email on my laptop."Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?" he asked."No," I answered simply."Then you should, brother; you don't look too well," he said sadly.Of course, I wasn't well, and that's because I had not slept in two days!I was very concerned and worried about how Riff was holding up. Yes, he was with his mate, but that didn't mean he was okay. At least that's what I thought. Also, I was wondering why his sister was quiet.Although she was in town, she must have heard the news. Was she crying somewhere, or did she now despise me?"I am very fine, Glen," I answered coldly."Did you even sleep?" he asked, making me sigh heavily."Where are you going with these questions?" I asked back.He shrugged and then kept quiet.I was about to tell him to leave if he had nothing more to say when the door
Sophie's POV "What do you think?" he asked as he walked into a cottage after unlocking the door with a key that was hidden beneath a rock close to the entrance.I huffed in my wolf form and then trotted in, ignoring the fact that he was walking nude confidently."Wait here," he said, and then walked into a room and came back dressed in a robe, with a spare one in his hand.He put the robe on the sofa and adjusted the one he was wearing."When we shifted back, we didn't look at each other like that," he said as he turned and faced the other side, giving me his back."Not that I didn't want to admire you; it's just that the situation we were in was... different," he said as I shifted back to my human form and took the robe from the sofa, putting it on."I have shifted a few times in front of different people, so even if you didn't turn, I would have been okay with it," I answered simply.He instantly turned back and glared at me."I'm kidding," I lied, then laughed nervously.Me shifti
Lorin's POV"Mother, do you think sending Sophie to follow Riff was a good idea?" Glen asked in a low tone.I was glad to see him in control but also a little sad that he was still uncomfortable around me."She is his mate, so she will make sure he feels calmer. If my guess is right, they won't be coming back today," I answered simply.It was obvious that Riff wouldn't come back in a day. He needed all the time he could get to think through everything before deciding to forgive or let go and heal."Jace wanted to come here, but Dominic stopped him," Glen said as I smiled at him."He did well," I answered and then looked at Clyde, who sat on a sofa with his legs crossed, looking at me with a smile.When we kissed a few hours ago, I had to pull back from the kiss despite not wanting to because it wasn't the right time or place.I was happy to have him welcome me when I took over, and now that I realized who was behind his change of heart, I really wanted us to make up and be together. B
Riff's POVI couldn't stop dashing ahead, even when I had crossed the pack's border. My wolf was in pain, and not the pain that one would usually feel when things went bad. The pain I felt was from losing a father, a friend, and a guardian. It was so unbearable, and I wanted to be very far from the pack and the pack members that resided in it.I let out a loud growl of warning when I was tackled to the ground by a she-wolf with brutal force. I was about to get up when I was pinned down by the she-wolf's weight. She was strong, which was something I was certain of.When instantly tingles went throughout my body and an amazing scent I loved so much filled my nose, I knew right then who it was.I glanced at the wolf on top of me and let out a soft purr. It was Sophie in her wolf form.I was so distracted and angry that I didn't even notice her close by or following me.Her wolf was amazing and unlike anything I had ever seen. She was huge, and her coat was brown with black on top. Seeing
Clyde's POVI couldn't believe the sight in front of me, and the chill that went down my spine wasn't helping at all.When one of the warriors called Sky through the pack's mind link, we decided to stay behind, knowing how he could have handled it all. But this was not what I thought, expected, or imagined would happen!"Son, what have you done?" I asked powerlessly.His hands were covered in blood, and Marshall lay in a pool of his own blood, dead.A loud female scream made me turn instantly. It was Berta, standing next to Riff, who looked pale and in shock. They were behind me when I chose to rush here after getting an uneasy feeling."Anyone call a healer, please!" she screamed at the top of her voice as she ran forward, kneeling next to Marshall and holding his hands.“Marshall, Marshall,” she sobbed as I stood frozen in one place. It was obvious he was already dead. Even if we called a healer, there was nothing he or she could do about it."Clyde, his hands are cold," she sobbed
Sky's POV I was surprised by the warrior's panicked voice that came through the mind-link, telling me to come out of the pack house as it was urgent.I thought about how the pack could be under attack, but that seemed rather unlikely because I could detect any intrusion at my own pack's border."Please, Alpha, hurry," the warrior mind-linked me.I lazily got up and went outside of the pack house, brushing my hand through my hair. I could hear yells and loud screams coming from the training field."Obviously, it's our warriors fighting again," I whispered to my wolf."It has been a long time since such a thing happened," he said.Well, he was right, but if it wasn't a fight, then what was happening? Something was definitely wrong because this was the first time I was hearing such an uproar the closer I got.I quickly picked up my pace and rushed there. When I reached the training field, I was shocked to see Glen hitting Beta Marshall with his back towards me.Marshall was trying to b
Jace's POV "What the fuck did you just say to me?" I asked at the top of my voice."It is as I said, Alpha," Harvey answered and then looked at Edith, who had her gaze lowered to the floor."No way, that's impossible," I whispered in disbelief.Betas were usually so loyal to their Alphas. Hearing of a Beta that would go so far as to harm his own Luna or Alpha was unheard of in my years of being an Alpha. It was next to impossible."No, that can't be right," I muttered."I wish it were impossible, but that wasn't the case. He called me out to do him that wicked favor," Edith spoke up as I felt a shiver go throughout my body."I am so shocked, to be honest, and I feel very upset over this. Beta Marshall was who Aunt Berta looked up to, according to my late parents," I said seriously."He is kind and good; that's what I know. I can't believe he could be this wicked!" I said loudly."Alpha, I don't know what you will do, but I told you this because I want you to know the truth before it
Harvey's POVThe pack was still happily celebrating the news of our Luna being pregnant.But I noticed one thing I wanted to pretend not to notice, and that was how Edith looked.My mate appeared bothered and unhappy. As much as she smiled and laughed, I knew it was all a front she was putting on.I didn't want to ask or force her to tell me what was bothering her. I wanted her to open up to me on her own. I wanted her to completely rely on me as her partner and mate."What can be a perfect gift to give Lillian?" she asked in our bedroom.She was looking at a few pieces of jewelry on the bed that she had bought yesterday."Is jewelry lame? Should I give her an expensive car or mansion?" she asked softly.I moved closer, standing behind her. Before she could turn to look at me, I wrapped my arms around her waist."Lillian isn't one who is drawn to jewelry and expensive things. Just you wishing her well and giving her a simple gift would be enough," I answered honestly.She sighed heavi
Marshall's POV Sickening. What was happening in front of me was very sickening.After that talk with that stupid witch, I had to stay home for a few days, thinking about my next move.I couldn't believe how she had walked out on me and said such terrible words to me!Who exactly did she think I was? I was the best Beta there was in all werewolf territories! Not only that, I loved Berta with all my heart, yet she made it sound like I was obsessed with her when I wasn't.I loved her more than life itself!I looked at Berta, then at Clyde, who was talking further ahead with a low sigh.They were both smiling, and that, to me, was a very bad scene to witness. Not only that, it made my stomach churn."I feel very upset," I whispered silently to my wolf."We can't let the witch or Clyde get to us," he growled."You are right; they shouldn't get to us. No, they can't get to us. Just because she has refused to help us doesn't mean we should give up, and just because Clyde is smiling at her
Lillian's POV"Pathetic," I muttered to myself as I picked up a dirty plate from the table and carefully put it in the sink, which was next to it.Brenda and her silly friend Sylvia were at it again, gossiping about our Alpha.It was tiring to hear them, yet I still couldn't stop myself from listening to their conversation."How on earth does he still look like he is in his twenties?" Brenda asked in a whisper."I know, right! Gosh, he doesn't age at all! He's in his late thirties, yet he still looks like a hunky teenager. Is that what it means to be an Alpha?" Sylvia answered as I rolled my eyes in annoyance.Luckily, they couldn't see me because I had my back towards them, but that didn't mean I liked how they were talking about him.And who was dumb enough to think that our Alpha wasn't aging because of his rank? It was clear that it was because of what we were!Werewolves were different from humans in most ways. Not only did we age slowly, we had heightened abilities and impressiv...
