Xiao's POV: I sat next to Mika, observing the warriors who were happily drinking and chatting, while some she-wolves were serving the men snacks and food. Some were busy dancing and singing to lighten up the mood. The whole place was lively, and it felt so good to be a part of it. "The alpha is kind of late," Alec said, then looked at his wristwatch seriously. Most she-wolves were looking at him indecently, yet he seemed to pay no attention to them, although I was sure he could feel it. "Speak of the devil," one warrior said when the door to the pack hall opened and he walked in with Luna Sherry by his side. The room instantly went quiet as our gaze fixed on him. Every warrior and she-wolf had a shocked expression on their faces, and I couldn't understand why, even the Beta. Was it because he was late? I asked myself thoughtfully. "Sorry I'm late," he apologized, then stood in front of us with a smile. "What, did I kill the fun?" he asked calmly. "No, it's just that we are al
August's POV: "Is it okay to leave the house locked?" I asked seriously as Felix drove to the club. "Of course, they all have a spare key," she answered. I had thought it was a joke when she said I only needed to rest for two hours before going out with her. It turned out it wasn't because I only rested for two hours, and there she was at my bedroom door knocking. "Oh, I forgot to ask. Is the pay okay with you?" She asked as I chuckled softly. "It's more than okay. $200 per hour sounds like magic to me," I answered happily. "I'm glad to know, but before we reach, I would like you to learn about a few rules of my club," she said. "Okay," I answered. "My club has both humans and supernatural beings as customers and clients. Only rich clients and customers get to walk into my place. The building is divided into three parts. At the top of the building is where the humans usually chill, party, and drink. The bartender and DJ are vampires. Not to brag, but my kind does have killer b
Damon's POV: I looked at Bevin, then at Mika, angrily. "Start talking," I ordered, seriously. "Damon...." "Hush, Sherry," I warned, cutting her off. "Well, Alpha, as you know, I have been very grateful for your kindness and..." "Get to the point, damn it!" I growled loudly. "My name is Xiao, not Bevin, and I lied about a few things," he said in a cracked voice. He was scared and slightly trembling, as he should be. "And what are those things?" I asked. "Mika is my first mate, and that child is our own biological daughter. When my Alpha imprisoned my mate, I had to go against his command and rescue her. I left my pack, but that only angered him. He sent some warriors after us, and for a long time, they chased after us until we stumbled upon your pack," he answered. "You little lying piece of shit. You come clean now after all the chances our Alpha gave you!" Alec yelled. "He told me the truth," Sherry said, as I frowned in shock. "He did?" I asked in a low tone. "Yes, and
Damon's POV: I stood at the pack's border, looking at the alpha who was approaching us. He had a tall, huge man with him on his left side, who I could tell was a beta, and on his right was a slim, tall guy with a small scar on his chin, who was Gamma. Behind him was a she-wolf who had a cloak on, and her gaze was fixed to the ground. Something about her scent made me feel nauseated, but I chose not to show it. "Alpha Damon, I presume," the Alpha said when he stood in front of me and extended his hand. Unlike the Beta and the Gamma, his presence held some dominance, although he wasn't intimidating in any way. He was tall, just like his Beta, and his build was okay, but something about him ticked me off. He talked with pride and moved with it. He wasn't that bad-looking, but he was acting like he was the most handsome man out there. With each minute that passed by, he brushed his free hand through his hair while looking at Sherry, as if to lure her in. "Let's kill him," my wolf gro
Damon's POV: I walked into the pack house and went straight into the living room, where everyone's scent was coming from. Immediately, as I walked in, they all looked at me. Maggie and Alec had a weird expression on their faces, and the woman who stood behind them had her back towards me, while Sherry was looking at everyone with a blank expression. "What? I just waited for half an hour to see if that bastard was going to follow me or not. I'm sorry I took a long time," I said. "It's not like that, Damon. She... um, this woman, I think she was badly abused. She has a lot of scars, marks, and bruises on her arms and legs. She also has a dark eye on her left side that shows that someone must have hit her a few hours ago, and the side of her lip is busted," Sherry answered softly. "Well, Alec, take her to the pack clinic," I ordered seriously. "That's not it, Alpha," Maggie whispered in a cracked voice. In her voice, I could detect fear, and that surprised me because Maggie was li
Damon's POV: I lay in bed with my arms wrapped around Sherry. After the little talk our wolves had, they gave us back control, and I took that chance to be with my mate. I lifted her up and went with her to our bedroom, laying down and holding her in my arms. There were no more words shared between us, just warmth. I shifted and pulled away from her when a knock sounded at the door. She sat upright and rubbed my back gently. Since knowing and understanding why I had acted that way, she was giving me supportive gestures without a word, and that made me feel so much better. "Come in," I answered. Maggie walked in with Xiao by his side. "What now?" I asked coldly. "Alpha, I don't really know how bad your situation was with my past Luna, but I can vouch for her that she's not in a good place," he said, then continued. "When Luna Debby first came into our pack, she was one of pride and happiness. The Alpha met her on his hunt and instantly knew that she was his mate. He wasted no
Debby's POV: "All you need is rest so that the medicine can kick in and work. The unborn pup is fine, and you will recover in no time," a healer said, then walked out of the ward room. I looked at the ceiling as tears rolled down. I was back at the same old pack I had destroyed with my own two hands. How things fall apart. The same Alpha and his pack I hated with my very life and breath were the ones helping me out. Was this my punishment? If it was, then it was very painful. How was I going to face a mate I rejected and wanted dead? Would he look at me or even give me a second chance? No, he promised to take my life if we ever crossed paths, so definitely, my death was just around the corner. I quickly sat upright when Damon walked in with his woman. Behind him were Alec and Maggie. I was scared of him, but not as scared as I was of that monster. Maggie quickly went to my side and touched my shoulder. "Calm down and stop moving around too much. You might hurt your wrist. Th
Johnson's POV: Is she fucking him right now? Perhaps begging him to take her back? Those thoughts invaded my mind as my wolf grew impatient with each passing minute. The only reason I had sent her with him was because I wanted her to study the place and report back to me on time. If I was going to take Damon down, I needed to know how big his pack house was, how many warriors were guarding it, and how many of them lived in it. I also needed to know how many high ranks were with him or if he had some other supernatural beings serving him. Our plan was simple: send the bitch in and have her give us the needed information. Since she was his first mate, he definitely had a soft spot for her. "Was it a wrong move to send the whore over there?" I asked my Beta angrily. "I told you, didn't I? You should have chained her to a tree. What if she gets his sympathy and help?" My wolf growled. "Relax, Alpha. I'm sure she knows her place and who she serves. I believe and trust she will be back
