Please be reminded this is just a guide, and I’m allowed to tweak them as I see fit, especially if inspiration doesn’t strike. However, I will do my best to follow this schedule as much as possible. 💛✨ Thank you for reading! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! 💛
BETA ARLO. ‘Alpha Riley!’ He was in, and that meant the others, too. ‘Motherfucker! You got in!’ He exclaimed back, and I could sense the relief in his tone. ‘I told you I would.’ I answered proudly. ‘I know, son.’ ‘Where is Kenzo?’ I asked. ‘He’s with Tyler. They went to the other side. Jace took him in his pack so he could link him for now, and he removed that asshole’s command from him. But we don’t know what’s happening inside. Do you know where Nadine is?’‘Where are you first?’ I asked first instead of answering. I listened as he described the landmark he was seeing. I told him that a hundred meters to the right of where he was was where I was supposed to meet Mindy.I told him what he needed to know about Mindy and me, as well as where Nadine was and why the fuck I ended up running.‘If you can get Mindy to safety, I will lead these wolves there. Because I need help. They were too many. And then we can go back to Nadine.’‘Got it. Lead them here. It’d been too long since
FORMER ALPHA MAXIMUS (Xander and Maddox's Grandfather). When Maddox told me he was set to put his action into motion today, I mocked him and said that he had finally grown a backbone. I couldn’t understand why he waited so long to kill the female in the cell. If it were me, she was dead in the first twenty-four hours of captivity. She might look like Teresa, which was a valid reason for me to like her. But it didn’t happen. Because, in reality, she was a reminder that even in the face of death, Teresa chose Carlos Montrell over me.I was nine years old when I realized I was smitten by her. She was beautiful, and she would let me be around her. Everything was perfect, but then she met her mate, Carlos Montrell, and broke my young heart in the process.I moved on with my life until I found myself with nothing.Everything I worked hard for turned to dust. I was removed as a warrior and outcast from my own pack because of one single mistake—letting the Alpha’s son commit crimes with me
XANDER. As soon as Maddox roared for his men to find Arlo, I sprung into action. His attention was directed toward Arlo that he didn’t see me launching at him. I was able to ram my elbow into his arm, making it easier to grab his weapon from him. Before he could react, I was already pointing the gun at his head. The crowd fell silent, and all I could hear was Maddox and Nadine’s heartbeats. “Give me your phone,” I told him.“You’ve got a gun, and all you want is my phone? Are you terrified that someone…” He was not able to finish his words because I pushed the gun more into his temple, and his eyes immediately shot closed.“Your fucking phone, Maddox,” I repeated, and he slid his hand into his back pocket before giving it to me. I operated the phone without taking my eyes off him, occasionally glancing at it until I found Nadine’s video. I deleted it and scrolled down his messages. He sent the video to Alpha Jace. My jaw tightened, but I kept my expression stoic. Nadine didn’t n
XANDER.“You cannot command an Alpha heir. I am one, even if the title is not mine.” I told Maddox in a low voice, just enough that only he could hear — unless someone was really paying attention. “So all this time you were asking me to do something, I just pretend to be doing it. I can defy you, even from day one.” I continued as I lowered the gun, but I was still watching his movement. I could hear the rumbling in his chest, and for some reason, it was satisfying to hear. “By the way, so that this one is out between the two of us. It was me who let Catherine out of the territory. I told her which way her father’s car had taken so they were able to find her right away. And you were right. I let Kenzo run away, so I’m sure when he comes back, he has forces with him. And lastly, I never raped Nadine. My mate knew I was playing the part, and she allowed me to touch her.”His breathing hitched as we continued walking. So, I added more salt to his injury. “No one also gave me any order
NADINE. I watched as Maddox moved to the center of the grounds, standing ten meters away from me. My breath hitched as a strong aura swirled around me, and a wicked smile crossed his face.I saw scratches on his neck earlier, but it was gone already. His wolf healed him, and he was making his presence known. I shouldn’t be terrified, as I had combat with Alphas before, but this strong aura he was letting out only meant one thing: he had never shown his full aura before, and he was definitely using it tonight. My eyes followed Maddox’s line of sight as he was drawn to something. My gaze darted to the crowd as they paved the way for someone. In no time, Anica came out and stepped toward the fighting ground. She had her hair down, something I had never seen her do before. She probably rushed there and was not able to tie them up. She stopped between me and Maddox. She turned to him and bowed her head in respect before facing the crowd. “Good evening, Dark Forest Pack. As the former Ga
ALPHA JAKE.(Former Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack — Alpha Jace’s Father) I slowed down as we approached the border of the Dark Forest Pack. I took the same route I had taken when I came here months ago to take my daughter Catherine back.I didn’t want to return. This place was a blatant reminder of Catherine's suffering and my failure to protect her as her father. But I had no choice. Aside from wanting to make sure Nadine would be saved, my Luna, Clair, wanted to follow the rest of her family here. The convoy that traveled here was our friends and families, together with our most trusted Elite warriors. Only Austin and Lexi were not here, as they are the ones protecting our territory. Nevertheless, for everyone here, I wanted to make sure all of us would come out alive. I held my breath as I stopped in front of where I knew a barricade line was, even if I couldn’t see anything at the moment. We remained inside the car, waiting for someone to come out and tell us we couldn’t get
THEODORE.My whole being knew him. Maximus was inside the car, sitting in the passenger seat. He only had one man with him. If they didn’t have any weapons, I could take my chance. There was no way I would let him go. I waited four decades for this moment, for the two of us to finally come face to face. I sprang as fast as I could, then leaped into the air as I shifted into my wolf, Vindictus, in midair.I might be too old to be a warrior or an Alpha, but the pain in my heart never got older. It stayed the same as if everything had just happened yesterday.With me on my paws, I ran faster than their car. When I knew I already had a great distance from them, I made a huge U-turn and rang along the lane that they were driving.In no time, I saw their car approaching, and if they or I didn’t stop, we would collide. That was what I was waiting for. In a blur of an eye, I leaped into the air as the sound of screeching tires echoed all around the forest, and my paws landed exactly on i
THEODORE.I moved away from him and turned around, ready to attack the newcomer, until I saw who it was. David. My brother found us. Our eyes met before he tilted his head to look at Maximus. “You’ve got him.”I didn’t say anything, and David continued to walk toward us. “I heard the growls, and I knew it was you.” He added. “You shouldn’t have come.” Maximus coughed before letting out a chuckle. “Because here comes, David. The happy-go-lucky, useless brother.”“Fuck you!” I roared one more time and swung my coiled fist onto his jaw. His body rolled over, but he didn’t stop laughing. “I pissed off the Alpha without a pack. But what I say is true. Because, like always, he’s still useless to you. His showing up here means I have a witness that I surrender.” His voice became firm at the last part before he raised his hands up in the air.My chest heaved, suppressing myself from letting out a growl because he was right. David could be ordered to tell the truth using an Alpha command,
