“Alright, let's go wherever it is you can get your confidence,” Adrianna replied.She wanted to inform Luna Brenda first before she made such a decision to leave the pack house but since Dianne was going to apologize to her, she was happily looking forward to it“I have never really left the pack house before” she informed Dianne as they both walked out of the compound entirely.Her heart was beginning to pound in her rib cage as she remembered the last time she came out of this place. It was that same night she had escaped from jail.It was late at night, so she couldn't tell where she was going or which way was which. Adrianna looked at Dianne, who began to explain to her places around as they walked into the woods.Even though Dianne hasn't apologized yet, Adrianna was already creating a space in her heart for the girl. If her apologies are sincere, she doesn't see a reason to continue hating her. Besides, the nightmare might only have some psychological effects because Dianne had
Dianne rushed into the house with bruises all over her body and tears on her cheeks. She didn't find anyone in the living room as she cried. She called for help and that was when some servant rushed in."Luna Dianne" they called as they made their way to where she lay on the ground. They could all see the bruises and blood on her arms and neck"Luna Dianne, what happened to you?" One of them asked but Dianne didn't stop crying.She wondered why the idiots were only staring at her and not rushing to get Roman already."Where is my husband? Where is the Alpha?" She asked like a mad woman.She kept rolling and crawling on the ground. Her voice intensify as she screamed and wailed hoping that wherever Roman was, he would come out alreadyOne of the servants rushed to get alpha Roman since Dianne wasn't saying a thing to them. As he rushed to Roman's room, he barged in but couldn't find Roman there.The man hurried to get the Luna instead. Luna Brenda, who was taking a nap woke up in shock
"Adrianna!" Roman roared before rushing to her. The animal stood beside her, not leaving her for one second. Even when they got close, the animal was ready to fight them.The animal was like a wolf but bigger than any wolf Roman or Lucas has ever seen. Its eyes were red as he stood in front of Adrianna's body protectively, making them confused.His claws were longer and sharper than Romans knew that if they touched a person, they would leave large marks. He wondered where the thing came from or what it was. Did he kill Adrianna? His thoughts went wide but he couldn't open his mouth to speak as his head was blank thinking Adrianna was dead"Who are you and what do you want?" Lucas asked the animal who could only growl. His eyes were dark red and filled with rage"Why did you hurt her!" Roman roared at it as he spanned out of his daze. He was ready to fight it but instead, Adrianna groaned in pain.Everyone forgot about themselves to stare at her. She had bruises and a broken arm but sh
It didn't take long, Roman stepped in with the pack doctor. Luna Brenda turned to see that it was the doctor, so she gave way for him to check Adrianna.The doctor began treatment immediately, and even though he asked them to let him do his work, they only moved a bit farther from her but didn't leave the room.Roman and Luna Brenda remained there but didn't let anyone else in.*****“That bitch! How the hell did she survive!” Dianne screamed in anger.She had rushed into Lisa's room to vent her anger there, since she couldn't do it elsewhere. Lisa quickly followed her before she destroyed her room again. She immediately packed the things on the table away from sight.Dianne was so pissed, she kept destroying anything her hands reached. She was so confused as to how Adrianna could have escaped from those rogues, they were seven of them!Dianne was not there when the giant wolf had come to drop Adrianna, so she didn't know what had happened. She didn't ask either since she assumed it w
Adrianna turned around to see a big, gigantic beast behind her. The first thing she noticed about the animal was its big white teeth that it displayed for her to see. She slowly began to move backward while the animal kept coming towards her.The tears in Adrianna's eyes were already dropping down her cheeks as she wondered how she got herself into a world of worse creatures. Now she doesn't know whether this was just a wolf or some human who had changed into it.When she noticed that she had gotten to the end as her back hit the wall, she began to speak to the animal. Very funny but at that time, it wasn't so funny at all,“Listen, I know you are hungry, and you might have not eaten for the longest time now since you are here in this hole, but please do not eat me… I am a poor human who came to find her father…”The animal paused to stare at her, its eyes remained on her before he let his large tongue out and licked her face.Adrianna could not understand what was going on, but fear
As much as Adrianna was back home safe, Roman still was not happy with the way things turned out. He was angry at himself for letting any harm come to Adrianna in the first place. She was his guest, and no harm should come to the guest of the Alpha.Roman was seated alone in his study, deep in thought when Lucas stepped in. He had checked everywhere for him but couldn't find him, so he was confident that the man would be in his study.“Alpha,” he called before sitting opposite Roman. He was as always expecting Roman to scold him for calling him Alpha when they were all alone, but Roman didn't.Roman didn't speak to him as he was still deep in thought. He knew Lucas stepped in.“Roman” Lucas called again after a while. He noticed that the man wasn't going to reply. Roman faced him with a straight face.“Lucas”Lucas shifted on the chair before asking,“What did the doctor say? Will she be alright?” He asked.Lucas was still very worried, he didn't know that the blood on Adrianna's clot
Dianne's eyes shot daggers at Roman and Lucas. She could hear everything they were saying and wished to squeeze the nonsense out of Roman's mouth. It was just too obvious that he was in love with Adrianna. The mate bond was stronger than she thoughtDianne stood there silently listening to them before they finally left where she stood to listen.In anger, she turned around and left the pack house.Dianne had been calling the stupid Mark but he hasn't still picked up his calls. She was getting irritated. After all, he had promised her, he claimed they were the best when it came to killing. And this wasn't the first time she was using him for her jobs. She has done it time and again, what's surprising her, was how Adrianna was able to escape seven men without getting raped and killedShe decided to set in for the woods even if it was already so late at night already. She couldn't wait to find out what had really happened.Did Adrianna transform into a werewolf? Did Roman and Lucas get t
Dianne hissed at Lisa before she took a step, planning to walk out of the room in anger. She was going to do the work herself."Are you angry?" Lisa asked the angry Luna but Dianne ignored her.'What does she think? That she was happy that she asked for her help but the girl refused to the extent of even crying? Such a weakling'"Dianne, are you mad at me?" Lisa asked again and Dianne snapped at her,"Yes, so? Are you going to help me even if you find out that I'm angry?" She asked. Dianne paused before she continued with narrowed eyes"Listen, you, if I am caught, I would make sure I don't go down alone because I don't see why you can't help a friend when she is in need"Lisa gulped, "I'm so sorry. I just can't use a knife on her. The suggestion I gave was better. We would just poison her""How can we do that!" Dianne snapped.She was getting frustrated by Lisa's every word. How can they poison someone that's unconscious without a syringe that she couldn't get her hands on because sh
“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
