Chapter 18

She's not our mate

“Isn't that… Adrianna's…clothes?” Dianne asked with wide eyes when she entered the place.

She was disgusted by the sight of the place. Knowing that dead bodies were kept there, she just wanted to stay away from it, but she had to act concerned for Adrianna.

'You are a kind and sweet girl' she kept telling herself in her heart. She hated the fact that she was here all because of Adrianna, but she was glad that the girl was dead at last.

Roman had frozen on the spot. He couldn't move from where he stood as his eyes examined the dead girl on the table. His heart was beating so fast in his chest and he could hear cursing, but he was unable to figure if it was his wolf cursing him or if it was his mind at work.

The man taking care of the dead bodies came and began to speak to Roman, who wasn't even hearing what he was saying

“She looked badly damaged. Her face is disfigured, you won't be able to recognize her even if you see her. We have tried to get her ident

    Chapter 19“I'll go searching for Adrianne myself!” Roman announced.Dianne's eyes widened, 'What was he talking about? I want him to ignore the girl and the search, not to go himself!'“You don't have to cry anymore, Dianne. I know you must be angry at me that I treated your sister in that manner, but trust me, I didn't know she was your sister. Dianne, today I promise to get her back for you”When he didn't hear any reply from Dianne, he clenched his fist and decided to leave the room. But Dianne stopped him.“Roman…” her voice meek and soft, “Where are you going?” She asked.Roman turned back to her, “I'll go in search of Adrianna for you”“Can't the head guard and his people do it alone? I would rather not have you away from me for too long” she said, but Roman shook his head before sitting beside the bed to caress her hair.“It would be better that I go before they find another dead girl” he smiled and Dianne also forces a smile“I will go with you then” she sat up, ready to leav

    Adrianna just got out of the hospital after spending a night there. She never knew she had the strength to run that fast and that far. She had run all the way to the human world on foot.When she got deep into the forest, she came across a freshly dead body. She was disgusted by it and threw up immediately. The person had died a very horrible death because the face was beyond recognition?She wondered who could have done something like this to this poor human being, but then it clicked that she might not be a human. The girl was likely a werewolf like the rest of them, and it might just be normal here. After all, they feed on humans and themselves?She came back to observe the girl, her mind keeps telling her to change her clothes, but she would rather not touch such a thing“It's all you've got,” the voice told her. Adrianna looked around for where the voice was coming from, but there was no one there, so she concluded that it was just her head telling her to do so.She seized her br

    Roman was able to get the information that he needed. He has asked Mr. Chelsea not to mention his name to the werewolf princess. Lucy doesn't even know where Adrianna stays, so they had to call the boyfriend Dave.Dave kept asking why they were asking but when they offered him some amount of money, he began to blabber, saying he doesn't only know her house but also knows where she works, how annoying.Roman decided to wait until the next morning before going to her house. He was sure she wouldn't want to open up to anyone this late at night.Roman had to lodge in a hotel for the night. His thought was on the girl, he hoped she was alive and fine. Was she able to find her way back to the human world? If she did, how did she do it? What really happened in the prison cell?His mind was filled with so many thoughts that he was finding it hard to sleep. Roman knew that if Adrianna was telling the truth, then someone was lying and that has to be Dianne. But Dianne would never lie to him, sh

    Chapter 22Adrianna stepped into the hotel room before dropping her bags on the floor.“Thanks, babe, I really appreciate it,” she said to one of her friends and colleague, Rose.Rose shrugged, “What did I do? I only helped you open the door” she giggled and Adrianna smiled.“I'm so tired. I just want to sleep”“You still haven't told me why you haven't been coming to work for more than three weeks now”Adrianna yawned, “How about we discuss this later when I wake up?”“Okay… can you at least tell me why you want to rest in a hotel when you have a house?” She asked and Adrianna sighed.She was already lying on the bed, “I am avoiding someone”This caught Rose's attention, “Who?” She asked and Adrianna murmured with sleepy eyes.“Dave”“Dave? Your boyfriend?” She asked and Adrianna hummed.“We broke up. He is no longer my boyfriend” as she muttered this, she fell asleep.“But how did…” Rose paused when she saw that the girl had gone into dreamland.“Fine! When you wake up, you are givi

    Chapter 23“What the hell” Adrianna screamed mentally before pushing herself away from Roman. Because of the force she used in pushing him away, she fell right down to the ground.“Ouch!” She groaned in pain. Roman rushed to the other side of the bed and found Adrianna rubbing her aching butt.“I'm sorry” he tries to reach to her, but she slapped his hands away“Yet those hands away from me” she hissed in anger before standing up.Adrianna looked around her, she could see that she was still in her hotel room. Now she wondered what Roman was doing here in her hotel room.'How did he get here?' that was the question on her mind“Are you stalking me?” She asked and Roman frowned. Why would she stalk her? Who does she even think he is?“Why would I stalk you?” He asked and Adrianna rolled her eyes.“Of course, it's obvious that you were following me around. What do you want? I have told you I don't know anything about that crazy wife of yours”.“Don't you dare call my wife crazy!” Roman y

    When Adrianna woke up, she found herself in a strange room. She remained on the bed as she scanned the place with her eyes. She felt the pain at the side of her neck, and caressed the place as she tried to remember what had happened and why she was there in a strange room.She was supposed to be in a hotel room, that was the last thing she did before she slept off, but then everything began to replay in her memory and she hit her head hard“Shit!” She cussed before sitting upright,“Roman!” She called through gritted teeth.'So that werewolf has no shame, Really? He didn't just invade my privacy, he forcefully took me out of my room without my permission!'Her eyes widened when she thought of where she might be right now. One person she would never want to see in her entire life again is a carbon copy of herself. Did he bring her back to his home? She wondered as she got up.What would they do to her? Do they need some sacrifice and that happens to be her? Adrianne wondered. She was g

    “So you see my girl, we are only doing this for you,” Luna Brenda said to Adrianna who had a deep frown on her face.“If he really wanted to take me back. He would have just taken me there instead of bringing me to this place again. Do you know what they did to me back in the prison?” She asked.“Well I promise you this time, no one would have any reason to cause you harm. We would heavily protect you”“I don't care about their protection because the people who are planning to harm me are in this same house. There is no way they can guide me here. It is either Roman takes me back home or he takes me to my father today”“Don't worry. You will be fine” Luna Brenda reassured her.“Dianne isn't a bad person. She is just scared after what the Alpha of another pack did to her. Trust me, she can't hurt a fly”'Looks like Dianne has been perfect at playing her game well' Adrianna thought.Roman has said the same thing that Dianne could not harm a fly, and now his mother was saying the same t

    After Dianne left the living room for Roman, she went straight to Lisa's room because she thought Roman would go to the room, so she didn't want to be there plotting how to kill AdriannaWhen she got there, she began to destroy everything in the room in anger. She threw everything on the dressing table away before scattering the bed, throwing the pillow away.Lisa stepped in and couldn't recognize her room anymore.“What is wrong with you, Dianne!” She screamed in anger.“Your stupid brother is wrong with me!” Dianne screamed back at her.Lisa could not believe her ears, “I don't care whether you are angry at my brother or not. If you want to destroy something, do that in your room and not mine! Do you know how much this lipstick cost?”“I don't care about your damn lipstick!” She roared at Lisa, who roared back.“And I don't care about your damn anger!”“If you are so angry and want to destroy things, go to your room to do that!” She yelled.They both stood like they wanted to fight

    “You did what?”Asher sighed. His Beta’s jaws was currently hanging off the floor. He had known Victor would strongly oppose, known also that Elise was one of the few creatures on this earth that managed to unnerve the life out of him. The woman creeps Asher out too, and once, maybe he’d liked the dangerous and sexy type. But he was literally a married man now and the only reason Elise would be coming to the pack was so that she can help find Kihara.“You invited her here? Are you mad?” Victor continued loudly.“Keep your voice down okay,” Asher hushed. “You know Victor, that we’ve been doing this ourselves for a while and failing. We need help, and she’s the best help we can get.”Victor shook his head, the look of horror on his face still not clearing. “Of course she’s the best Asher, she’s a fucking bounty hunter, hired killer, assassin,” Victor counted on his fingers, his eyes seemingly widening each time he dropped a finger. “And a fucking were-snake Asher, let’s not forget about

    Twilight pack had gradually declined to a somber graveyard in the absence of it’s Luna. The halls bleak and lacking of color, every wolf felt the same bleakness inside of them, as though an emptiness had been carved in their hearts. More cruel was that they had no idea what to do. To mourn their Luna? For if she was dead, then that was the right thing to do. Or to hope? To dare look up to the moon and hope that she was still alive and that one day she would be returned? It did not seem likely, but it was a possibility they were willing to entertain. For their alpha, he needed it, needed that hope. That was all he ran on.Hunting down Sebastian had never become more primary than now. Asher has men combing every nook and cranny of this town. He was sure that one day, he would hit the jackpot and one of those searches would unlock the villains hiding place. He did not need to search for long however, it seemed that the villain was done hiding.It was early morning when it happened. Asher

    “Please,” The prisoner begged, “You don’t have to do this.”Asher’s eyes burned. Why could he not do this? His mate was stolen from him, why did he not deserve to at least transfer his rage to this man who had helped make it happen.“I’ll talk, anything you want, I promise.” The whimpered, his voice pitchy and breathy.Asher paused in his steps. “Then start talking, and fast.”The man nodded furiously, his body visibly deflating with relief. “Where is Sebastian?” Asher asked coolly, the hammer hanging casually by his side.The fear was back in the man’s eyes. He looked up at Asher, his gaze with utter defeat, as he shook his head,“No?” Asher’s eyebrows twitched with impatience.“I really don’t know. I swear.” The man whimpered, voice so shaky it was barely comprehensible.“If you don’t know, then you’re not at all useful to me.” Asher growled lowly.The man fell to his knees. “We were hired randomly. They promised to take care of our families if we died for this, kill them if we didn

    TRIGGER WARNING: Themes of torture mentioned below.)Brody found him first, in the thicket where he had chosen to bleed out his feelings. He felt like a broken man and no words needed saying as Brody looked over Asher. It was obvious that he’d not found Kihara, that he had failed in protecting his mate and now she was in the hands of a moon cursed wolf.“Come on Alpha, we’ll find her another day.” Brody said. Just not today, Asher thought. How was it acceptable that he came here with his mate and has to leave without her? How is it acceptable that she remains in that man’s lair, dead or alive for even a day?Brody helped Asher up and walked him back the way he’d come, until they broke out of the woods and unto the road. Asher’s leg was still bleeding but not as profusely as earlier and the pain of the wolf’s bane was also fading. Asher missed that pain, it was more merciful than the clenching and unclenching of his heart. This ache and this utter feeling of emptiness that was evading

    Asher felt it rather than saw, from the distance of a still forming mate bond, his mate’s distress. He looked up, and that was when he saw the man that had introduced himself as Ajax with his mate. He’d knocked Kihara out and now she lay cold and unconscious in his arms. A growl tore through the air and earth. Asher’s eyes shivered with emotion, fear and anger. Ajax looked over his shoulders at him, and for once, that unsmiling, unfeeling face dissolved with a smile. He’d won.Without time to waste, and with Kihara in his arms, Ajax ran off the roads and into the mountains. His mate weighed nothing in his arms, and was hardly an inconvenience, or deterrent to his speed. Asher screamed with fury, the panic traveling up his throat, clogging his airways. The men charged at him and he swiped and stabbed at every single one of them, not holding back his strengths. He needed to get to Kihara; the only thought that rang loud in his head. He couldn’t let Ajax have her, knowing where he was t

    Ajax’s men drew their weapons, axes and blades glinting in the air like the shine of cruel death. Leila turned to Kihara hastily. “Whatever you do, you’ll stay with me okay?” Kihara nodded, her hands tightening on her gun. I have this, she thought to herself, she ought to be fine. Asher from a few feet away glanced back at them quickly, he shared a look with Brody and Leila and they seemed to understand a they both nodded. To kihara, his eyes softened and seemed to tell, ‘be safe.’ Kihara nodded at him. She did not plan to let any of these men get close to her.And they were a lot of them. They were beyond outnumbered. The men were ordinary humans, and against a dozen well trained wolves were like an army of ants, but ants that they were, they crawled towards them from every angle, swarming in as if they could choke off the air. The men were way more than preoccupied in a few seconds, battling claws with blades and axes. The wailing sound of men broke through the peaceful mountainous

    Sebastian listened quietly the messenger, a drink in his hand illuminating the colorful swirl of candlelight it captured. The messengers words echoed softly through his ear drums. After the man was done, Sebastian nodded. “You’re dismissed.”The man backed out of the room, his legs were about to cross the threshold when Sebastian called. “Don’t go back to the woods Jerry. I doubt that our boy will be anymore useful after today.”***Everything was set for their journey to Ever-moon. Transportation and envoy and the gifts Kihara had prepared for ever-moon waited downstairs while the Alpha couples exchanged swift words with each other.“You know why I worry Kihara, it is dangerous.” Asher was saying, the veins in his temples bulging as he emphasized on the word dangerous. Kihara was having none of it as she stood glaring at him with her hands crossed above her chest. ‘I don’t see how that is an issue.” They had had this conversation last night, and the night before, still, Asher was in

    Kihara had never been to the pack dungeon. She was not even aware that a place like such existed, but as it turned out, the underground bunker was not the only thing underground. The dungeon was built a bit off ways from the pack, the only thing that lead to it was well like construction with stairs. The dungeon wasn’t well kept, unlike many areas of the pack, because it was hardly used. Asher told kihara the last time it had been opened, it was used by his father, and now him, to lock up Justin.Kihara climbed down the narrow stairs that led down to the dungeon with her heart feeling heavy and in her throat, Asher right behind her. At the bottom of the stairs, the dungeon opened up to9 a big musty space. The air was hot and drier around here. Directly in the middle of the room, two iron cages sat beside each other, and Justin sat in one, on a stool, his hands and knees bound. The cages looked ordinary to Kihara, there was no reason why they should be able to hold a werewolf, Kihara w

    Kihara’s honeymoon lasted three nights. Three good nights of no worries, three nights of forgetting that there was even anything to be worried about. It ended too quickly for her liking, but they needed to get back to their duties, and Kihara needed to start hers. The bodies they found in the woods had been buried properly. In the days Kihara and Asher remained completely indoors, the only time they opened their doors was to receive food, and in their absence, Victor had taken charge. He’d put off alerting human authorities about the bodies in the woods and for good reason. No human police would not believe that the work had been done by a pack of werewolves. It’d be like putting handcuffs on their own wrists and walking to the police station to be locked behind bars, not that any police bar or handcuff could hold a werewolf. Apart from burying the bodies, there were many other issues. The pack had grown hesitant of stepping outside pack house boundaries. Members who had human jobs
