Edith's POV

I woke up feeling sore everywhere and thirsty.

I blinked a few times before calming down and looking to my left side.

Talic was sleeping on a comfy chair, leaning his head against the edge of the bed. The room I was in was the very room he had given me, and that made me feel relieved. The spell had worked perfectly; I was so sure about it because I was still alive.

I slowly sat upright and looked at him with a smile.

It must have been horrifying for him to watch me take red Otis and lose my life right after that. But how did he know that the spell was complete? Did he cry a lot for me? Just that thought made me want to comfort him.

I moved my hand and brushed his hair softly as the beautiful tingles spread throughout my body.

No, I had to distance myself to make it easier for the rejection. Although my heart was getting in my way, my mind was still telling me otherwise. I needed to escape before he could talk me into staying.

He shifted a bit and groaned softly. When he bl

    Maila's POVI slowly walked to the open balcony, ignoring the pain I felt throughout my body, and stood there looking at the sky. My throat was painfully dry, and my body was sweaty.So, I was back to the hellhole Lillian and I hated? It really was funny.When I looked at my pale hands, I sighed softly. On my wrist, there was a diamond bracelet that I had never seen."Witch, hand me a mirror," I said huskily while I moved my hands to my ears to touch the earrings there."I have a name, Lillian. I'm called Edith," she answered."I am not Lillian," I whispered.She was still calling me by that name when she already knew I wasn't her. Lillian was quiet and trying to accept our harsh fate. She couldn't believe how we were drowned just like that because we were weak, but what troubled me was how I felt now.I felt power and strength I had never felt before back then when we were still alive.I tensed when I heard light footsteps approaching me and the disgusting scent that made me nauseous

    Maila's POV"Get out!" Was what I said to the Beta after I had asked him to send a capable she-wolf that would take care of everything.I walked into the bathroom and took off my clothes, stepping into the shower with a heavy sigh.I wasn't shocked over the Beta's obedience because it wasn't Harvey present. But I was very surprised when he and Edith teamed up to carry Jace."He's still an asshole, Harvey or not," I whispered as the cold water poured on my body, making me look down on myself with a low sigh.What was so undesirable about us? I gritted my teeth and then moved my hands to my hips sadly. Even after dying, I was still fat; the only difference was that the chubby stomach was no longer there.I slowly slid my hands to my full breast then touched my lips lightly."No kiss, no touch, and unloved," I whispered as tears filled my eyes."Lonely," I mumbled while I dropped my hands with tears running down my cheeks.Because of his harsh words, we couldn't even touch ourselves in

    Las POV"Talk," the Luna commanded.I had a bitter taste in my mouth and a splitting headache. My body was slightly trembling, and I felt like I was choking.Never had there been a day I had felt like this, even when I was facing Alpha Ridge in his angry state. What the hell was she? Her aura was unbearable."I am not feeling well," I forced out the words."Mm, very well, you can excuse yourself," she said with a creepy smirk on her face.I could tell how much she was enjoying it. Was this payback for how my human had treated her in the past?I stood up with wobbly legs and gave a low bow before exiting the room.I was slowly beginning to feel better the further I got away from the room.When Talic told me how she was stronger than anyone he had encountered in our pack, I took it as bluffing and chose to approach her to see for myself. But after today, I wanted nothing to do with her, not even to cross her path. Whatever she was, it was bad, Alpha or not."Delta," Leah called out in f

    Jace's POVI was speechless, angry, and I felt powerless after hearing everything. There was nothing I could say, and Ridge, too, was silent.I could remember everything before her death, but after that, it was all a blur."Alpha, we are ready to accept any punishment you choose to give us because it was our fault that our humans were out of control," Talic said as I brushed my hand through my hair.They weren't the only ones at fault; we all were, and by how they described Lillian, she was nothing like the mate I knew. What was I to do? Kneel down and beg for mercy or take my own life? Why was I even saved? A bastard like me had no right to live.I stood up and swallowed hard, feeling my muscles tense in pain."I am going to see her, right now," I said as they both looked at me with fear in their faces."Alpha, you can't," Las screamed out."I have to kno....""Jace, you can't!" Talic yelled, startling me.I looked at him and then moved closer, patting his shoulder.Harvey was my chi

    Maila's POVI looked at the bastard who was unconscious on the ground in tears, then took a deep breath.This was what we both wanted, yet why was she now stopping me?"He doesn't deserve us!" I yelled angrily."I know, but don't kill him!" Lillian screamed back."Are you kidding me! Weren't you mute hours ago and refused to talk to me or respond to anyone? Why now! Do you have strong feelings for this trash!" I yelled."No," came her sad response.Who did she think I was? I was a part of her; that's why I knew how she felt about him. She was angry as I was, yet a part of us still wanted him."Then don't get in my way to do what I want, Lillian. He has never liked us in any way, and he never will. Him going down on his knees is a show because he has now realized what we are capable of doing. We are now of higher rank," I said furiously.When a minute went by without her response, I walked to the door and opened it roughly, looking at the two fools who immediately bowed low.They were

    Jace's POVI sat at the edge of the bed, looking at my chest in silence.Her grip was strong, and her force was brutal, yet she couldn't kill us? Why? Did she want to first watch us suffer, or was it out of pity?Either way, it didn't matter because I was going back to her side. When she was lying dead by my side, I vowed to stay by her side no matter what.I stood up and walked to the wardrobe, pulling it open and grabbing a simple gray shirt."Alpha, what are you doing?" Las asked."Can't you see? I am dressing up," I answered while I put on the shirt and buttoned it."I can see that, but that's not why I'm asking," he said seriously.I turned and faced him coldly."I'm going to check up on my mate," I answered."No, you can't," Talic said seriously."I can and I will. I expect none of you to get in my way because I really need to be by her side," I answered."Are you fucking insane?" Talic growled as his eyes switched to Harvey's. Finally, he was letting him take over; perhaps he w

    Maila's POVHaving power felt so unreal to us. It also felt good and almost addictive having everyone look at us differently and with a hint of fear."I'm glad you are accepting what we are capable of doing," I said to Lillian and then threw myself on the bed as memories of our mate began invading our mind.I wanted to know if he was back on his feet or not. A tiny part of me badly wanted to check up on him."You are worried," Lillian whispered as I groaned softly and then sat upright."I am not," I lied, then got to my feet and walked to the door, stepping out of the room.What we needed was a walk to take our minds off things again.Although things were different, it still felt nice to just walk around nature. I was about to go downstairs when I heard Jace's voice coming from downstairs.I looked ahead and saw him talking to Talic. He looked very concerned."Don't let her go," he told Talic as he frowned deeply."I wish I could do more, Alpha, but I feel like her decision is already

    Maila's POV"Lillian," he called as I glared at him."Do you think that will make us happy? Your little act of defending us? And I am not Lillian! You don't even know my name, do you?" I asked coldly.He looked at me apologetically and then shook his head."I figured, like how could you even attempt to know my name when you don't want us," I said as he quickly moved and grabbed my hands.Instantly, I felt calmer."That's not true," he answered loudly."I know what you are trying to do, Alpha, but it won't work," I said angrily."What is your name?" He asked softly."Is this a joke? Why are you asking me right now? Is it because of what I said?" I asked back and then swallowed hard.It was taking everything in me not to smile at him and just tell him."Look, I know I messed up big time. But I swear it's the truth that I want both of you. Me and Ridge are willing to do anything to make you happy," he answered.Before I could respond, he moved my hand and pressed it against his chest."I

    Glen's POV"Any luck?" Sky asked seriously in my bedroom."It will take a few more days, brother. I have already contacted a few investors and friends who might know about the information that we need," I answered and then took a seat on my bed."I also contacted Ian. He might be intimidating and cold, but because of Jace, he might help us. I heard he is friends with Alpha Damon, whose pack is known as the library of all information," I said."Yeah, I have also heard about him. You did good," he answered.Yesterday, we did everything in our power to make our mate feel better. We called Molly and asked her to invite everyone because we wanted to chat with them all. The chat went well, and after she disconnected the call, Harley still looked a little sad.I knew I had to get to work immediately, so I started calling people who could help. For hours, I was locked up in my office, where I only had a few hours of rest.Sky was with her most of the time, and that was a relief because it see

    Harley's POVI was surprised by the sudden news and departure of Clyde and Berta. But because of how happy they looked, I was okay with it."Now that they are gone, that leaves only two of us women in the pack house," Sophie said with a smile."I have never seen you this happy, manager... oh, I mean Sophie. Sorry, it's out of habit calling you that," I said seriously."It's fine, Luna," she answered as I frowned."You know, I might have been your superior at work in human territory. But here, you are my leader," she said and then took a few steps forward."Forgive me for asking you this, but are you alright?" she asked as I smiled and nodded."You look a bit absent-minded," she said and then grabbed my hands."We started off on the wrong track, but now we are friends, right? So if there is anything that is bothering you, you can confide in me," she said seriously.I kept quiet for a few minutes, then decided to open up to her.How does it feel to have parents?" I asked, and that seeme

    Glen's POV A few days had gone by, and everything was going well.Riff was around but spent a lot of his time in his room with Sophie. My parents were always together as well, helping around the pack, and the pack members had accepted what couldn't be changed and what had happened with grace.The only thing that didn't sit well with me was how Harley acted a bit distant.She was there for me and my brother, but there were times she kept to herself and talked less than she did back in the company.It was like the talkative, cheerful woman I fell in love with was replaced by a mature, quiet, distant one."Son, where is Sky?" Dad asked behind me when he walked into the living room.I turned in my seat and looked at him with a smile."Probably in his office," I answered simply. "He isn't there; I checked," he said calmly."Did you mind-link him?" I asked seriously."Not really; I figured he would be here with you or Riff since he isn't in his office," he answered."Try mind-linking with

    Sky'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.

    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

  • THE ALPHA'S REKINDLED BOND    Chapter 165

    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
