“Alpha Liam.” Ember’s voice reverberated inside the infirmary. She had to call him several times in an even louder voice just to get his attention.She noticed that the alpha was not himself. He was just staring blankly at the patient lying unconscious on the bed.Ember waved her hand in front of Liam’s face, trying to get the attention back to her. Liam blinked his eyes. Confusion was written all over his handsome face, as if he had just gotten out of a trance. “Liam? Are you all right?” Ember was worried. She had not seen the Alpha this bothered, and he was really spaced out.Ember glanced at Aron. He just shrugged his shoulder. The Beta didn’t know what happened, either. Inching closer to the alpha, he tapped his shoulders hard, awakening him from his trance-like state.“What?” Liam asked, confused. His eyebrows frowned.He turned and looked around. Everyone was on him, curiosity written on their faces. They were like expectators of a show, waiting for his next move.“You looked li
It’s been weeks since they found Veronica in the woods. She’s now recovering from her wounds since Liam had been hands-on in assisting and taking care of her.Whispers and gossip had spread through Bresmont because of the changes in the Alpha’s behavior. Even his parents, the former Alpha and Luna, had reprimanded him, but he just shrugged the issues away.Liam knew that there were talks about him and Veronica and that almost all the pack members sympathized with Ember since they feel that she has been cheated on, and they hated Veronica for suddenly showing up. It pissed Liam to the brink that he almost impost a law to not talk something bad behind Veronica. Had Kean didn’t stop him, he should have implemented that new law.Liam had to admit that his relationship with Ember has been shaky these past few days. The Luna of the pack has been avoiding him, and he didn’t even do anything to talk to her. It felt exhausting just thinking that he was going to explain everything to her.How w
Ember was just staring at Liam’s soulless dark blue eyes. She had never seen him with those eyes. Werewolves often have different colors in their eyes, and that depends on the emotions they were feeling at the moment. Pitch-black eyes often appeared when they were in the pit of rage and golden yellow appears if they were happy or aroused or feeling good. But she had never heard about dark blue eyes, it was the first time she saw those.“Liam, you are hurting me!” Ember tried her best not to fight Liam. She doesn’t want to fight him for the sole reason that she was protecting the growing child in her womb.Brynn had reminded her not to stress herself. Fighting the Alpha will likely become the cause of her body to strain and it will not be good for her condition.“You should have thought about that when you spoke vile words against the woman I love.” Liam tightened his hold on her neck, blocking the air passage.At the corner of her eyes, she saw Veronica standing there. She had a wide
Ember had spent most of her time in the camp. She focused on training the young soldiers to keep her mind from thinking about Liam and his betrayal. In fact, she was not staying in the mansion anymore. Solona had convinced her that she can stay in the camp with the Delta warriors, and after giving her some time to think, Ember brought all her things there. It’s been a week and she it was an effective way to Liam out of her mind.She trusted Aron could dig for some information regarding Veronica, and it was almost a month now and he still couldn’t get any. It was like she has no records at all. With every passing day, Ember grew more and more suspicious of her.“Did you cock all of these?” Solana appeared in the kitchen with her disheveled hair, she just woke up.Ember volunteered to cook for today so she got up early and cooked all kinds of foods her mind could think of.“Yeah, I was bored and I want to be useful.”Solana smiled at her pitifully. “You know you don’t have to stay here,
It had all been a lie. She was such a fool to believe that the king wanted to talk to her. She was not taken to Devonlaire, instead, she was taken somewhere she was not familiar with. She was changed and injected with Rosemarie extract making her lose consciousness while they transported her.When Ember finally regained her senses, she was locked in an underground prison with only several lights to illuminate the place. Guards with masks guarded the entrance and her cell.She lost count of how many days she was inside that prison. Her body is getting weaker since they were not giving her enough food. Apart from that, Ember doesn’t trust the food they served her. She knew very well that it was laced with toxic herbs that would render her powerless and weak.What she’s really afraid was the life that’s growing inside her. She needed to have an escape plan, she can’t stay in there and rot to death.No one ever visited her. She was just locked up there, and the guards never spoke to her n
“I am so glad that she’s not here anymore, my love. You really did fulfill your promise to me.” Veronica caressed Liam’s chest as they lay naked under the sheets.It was their first lovemaking and Veronica was beyond happy that Liam finally claimed her. But there’s one thing that she still aims for. She wanted to be marked by the Alpha and reign as Luna of the Pack. Veronica believed that everything will happen at its perfect time, she just needs to wait until that Ember will die. Only then can Liam give her his mark.“I will gladly do everything for you, my mate. Everything that you ever wish for, I want to make it happen.” Liam turned to Veronica and captured her lips for a searing kiss.Liam was glad that Veronica came into his life. If not for her, he wouldn’t have the secret that Ember has been hiding.That bitch was knocked off by the hunter. She has been sneaking into the wall of Bresmont to meet her lover until he got her pregnant.Anger and pure hatred rose from the pit of hi
The Delta warriors were dissolved. All the members of the special force were accused of treason. The only member who was not accused was Tanya. She became Veronica’s personal assistant.Aron had no choice but to watch his friends run for their lives as they were chased by the soldiers Veronica had brought in. All Aron could ever do was clench his fist and grit his teeth to suppress his rage. He couldn't do anything for them, and it pissed him big time, for he couldn't risk exposing himself. He knew he was the only hope his friends had, and he was not going to ruin it.Solana and Tracy were able to escape before they were arrested and the boys got their way out of Bresmont as well.Aron stood at the center of the training field, his eyes were vigilant, roaming around to see if there was unusual behavior from the new recruits.He couldn’t quite figure out why Liam was so easy to accuse his most loyal soldiers with just one whisper from Veronica.Many people were in protest ever since Em
A loud and ear-breaking scream echoed through the cave as the dark witch burst in pure anger.Her face was so red she could pass as a ripe tomato.“Damn that bastard! I should have known that he was going to betray me and our deal!”Her face was now clean, and that was because of the recent ritual that she had. Thanks to the lovely people who offered their lives for the fulfillment to her plans.Everything should have been planned out well, if not for the traitor Robert Kingston, the leader of the werewolf hunters who were best known for their cruelty.“That deal was a fucking mistake, you stupid bitch!” She cursed her won self. “I never should have trusted that bastard!” Again, she let out an ear-blowing scream.Madonna dropped to the ground and tried her best to cover her own ears. The screaming didn’t stop and Madonna felt a war liquid flow from the side of her face.She was terrified when she saw that it was blood, from her ears.Fear enveloped her as she stared at the red liquid.
Bresmont has been very peaceful ever since Ember came back. Together with the other districts, the center of Devonlaire had also celebrated her comeback.There were no sightings of evil witches or even the remnant werewolf hunters who survived the hunt.Ember couldn’t be more happy now that she’s finally back and she finally met her daughter, Hope. Her heart was filled with joy as she watched her sleeping peacefully in her crib. She resembles her so much in the physical aspect, and she hope she will inherit Liam’s courage and determination.After all, she’s the next ruler of Bresmont, it should only be fitting that she will take from her father.Liam, on the other hand had been so clingy. He was a little bit paranoid when he wouldn’t find her in their bed in the morning and he’s always concern for her safety.“There you are! God, I was looking or you all over the mansion!” Liam exclaimed behind her.Ember couldn’t help but chuckled. She wasn’t expecting Liam to be this clingy. For a b
Asher just stood there, his body unmoving while his mind was still processing what he just saw.“I will explain later. We need to hold the gates, it’s been breached and there are more coming.” Ember uttered, she was frantic. She can feel that there were more bandits coming.But before Asher could even utter a single word, they heard a howl that made everyone stop, including Ember.Ember’s eyes widened in realization. Liam was calling her. Ember could feel his wolf calling into her soul, it was like a pull that she cannot deny.“Liam…” she whispered.And, she saw him. In the sea of crowds, she saw him in his glorious transformed body.When their eyes met, Ember knew that she’s home. She finally found her way home, or home find its way to bring her back.Tears stung her eyes and her throat hurt as she tried to swallow her cries of joy. It’s not time to rejoice but she couldn’t help it.In one swift motion, she ran toward his direction. She cared less about the bandits this time. Call he
Liam and his company were frantic. According to Ursula and Erin, Crumbush was being attacked by the bandits who wanted Ember’s head.His heart hammered inside his chest as he thought of his Luna being surrounded by those thugs. It brought him back to the war that happened a year ago, where Ember sacrificed her life just so their enemies would be defeated.A different kind of pain rushed through his entire being. He will not allow that to happen once again, not when he’s this strong and capable.Air rushed in his lungs as he lunged and avoided trees. He has never run this fast in his entire life. It’s only a matter of time, and one single second that he’s late, it will change anything.They can already see the fire up in the sky a few kilometers away from them. Liam instantly knew what it was.“It has begun,” he murmured as he halted from his tracks and stared at the black smoke that dominated the blue sky.“Alpha, we should continue now.” Liam heard Solana speak into their mind.Liam
Liam put Hope in her crib. She was fast asleep, and though he didn’t want to wake her up he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms before he left Bresmont to find Ember.Hope was a spitting image of her mother. Just by looking at Hope, his urge to find his wife got even stronger. He will do anything to find her and bring her back to their daughter.“I promise you, my little angel. I will bring Mommy back. And you will grow into a fine lady with your mother beside you. We will be whole again, Hope. I promise you that.”He caressed her chubby cheeks and planted one last kiss before he exited her room.Yesterday, Yvette suddenly showed up at their doorstep and told them that she was able to detect Ember’s power.She was able to retrieve her magic sphere from the Lycan King and now, she can locate Ember.When he asked her why she was doing this, she answered that she just wanted to help.“I just want to do something right, at least that’s what I can help for Devonlaire. The whole Devonlai
Asher heard hushed conversation when he neared the kitchen. He slowed down and tried to listen to the topic.It was about Emerald and the other night’s event.He grimaced thinking that it was not a secret anymore. More and more people every day gain knowledge of that incident, and it will not be good for them.“Do you think she’s not human?” One of the servants of the house whispered to the other.“I can’t say that. But given the fact that she killed those six burly men, it’s scary having her around the house. We can’t tell when she’ll attack.”“You’re right, Marishka told me to stay away from her.”“But we really can’t do that since we have jobs to do here in the house.”“I just wished she’ll vanish for good.”“I think she’s a werewolf. According to those who witness, those dead men have huge wounds from a claw. If that’s the case, the Chief should cast her out.”Asher balled his fist. For some reason, he hated hearing those kinds of accusations that were thrown at Emerald. He felt t
Emerald tossed and turned in her bed as blood and cries of agony erupted through the dead of the night.She sobbed while her eyes were closed. She saw it all, the death of these people who became dear to her.She had seen this scenario before. She knew this scene would end up as the worst dream of her life.“No, please….” she moaned in pain and she clasped her palm tightly into the sheets like her survival depended on it. Tears trek down her beautiful face although her eyes were closed and sweat invaded her whole body.She saw everything, Marana was struck with a huge axe on her neck causing her to die in that instant. Asher took a bullet for her and he was hit in different parts of his body. Erin, the poor child cried for help as she witnessed her mother being violated in front of her.“Don’t do this…”Emerald tried to help, but she couldn't touch a thing. This dream was so similar to the one she had a long time ago. And the worst part is, that dream came true, many died and she coul
Kreigstone is a town located outside the walls of Devonlaire. Its inhabitants were all human, and any supernatural beings were forbidden to settle down or even enter the town.People talked in hushed voices, afraid that they might be arrested for talking about the girl in the woods.It’s not a secret that some supernatural activities were happening in their town.Their politicians were furious, the people scared and the outlaws were enraged.At least six people from the other side of the law were killed in that single night, and they were screaming for retaliation.Gasper, one of the outlaws, was drinking his liquor in a torn bar in the most isolated part of the town. He heard people talk and he’s picking up any information that their boss might need.Who was that woman in the woods?His grip on the bottle of beer resting in his hands tightened. He was enraged. One of the victims was his older brother, and he was desperately in need of blood. Red, cold, dirty blood in his hands. And h
The cold water from the shower cascaded Asher’s naked body. He lost count of how long he’s been inside the bathroom. His thoughts flew out of the house and back to what happened in the forest part last night.He closed his eyes and immediately flashes of the scene came to his memory.Gruesome. The smell of metal flew in the air and the stench of death made it even worse.A total of six dead bodies of huge men were scattered everywhere, some were on the ground and others were hung on the tree. Their blood pooled on the forest floor, fertilizing the earth.They arrived at the scene late. Everything happened so fast that when they got there, they didn’t witness how those men died.But based on Marana’s opinion, they all die from blood loss due to the huge wounds they incurred. A wound that only a monster was capable of inflicting.Was it Emerald?He can hardly tell it since he didn’t see the whole thing.The cold water sipped through his body and his bones shivered from the cold.Cursing
It’s the carnival night and Emerald couldn’t get any excited to go there.A huge smile appeared on her beautiful face as she examined how she looked in the mirror.Marana gave her a dress to wear there. It’s a pretty dress with a simple design. It fitted nicely in her body and he smile widened. She can’t wait to go in the carnival. She believed she hasn’t been on one.Marana and her family had been so good to her. Despite the fact that she’s a stranger and they didn’t know where she came from, they still welcome her and treated her like family.She swirl in front of the mirror and her smile widened.“I’m ready.” She left her room and went to find Marana and the rest of the people who wanted to see the carnivval too.Carnival nigths happens every once a month. They travel from town to town. She’s excited to see what’s in there. She has not regain her memory yet and there were a lot of things that confused her, but she’s not giving up.Emerald believed that one day, she will be able to
