Liv’s POVI decided to leave school for my room. My transformation had spooked Frank enough that he had also left school early. I was also confused; I didn't know what had happened then. Well, I had worse problems back at the mansion. The triplets weren't waiting for me at the entrance of the school, it seemed like Frank had spoiled their mood too much for them to care about me. I took a cab and went back to the mansion. As I got down at the gate, a sickening aura enveloped me and I shivered. It was a sense of foreboding warning me about the dangers inside the mansion. It wasn't even the triplets I was most worried about. It was their mother, the Luna Rebecca. The threat still stuck in my head and I couldn’t shake off the fear even though I wanted to do.As usual, the guards didn't give two shits about me as I walked inside the mansion. I didn't bother looking at them as I walked in. I went straight upstairs to my room and I sighed in relief as I stood in front of the door.I twist
Liv's POV Max left my hands immediately and opened his eyes in shock. He held his hand in front of him and saw the dark red blood stain on his hand and he slowly backed away from me. His eyes had stopped glowing, he was back to his senses. He looked at Callum, and then to Ryder and he slowly turned to me. His mouth moved, but words didn't come out. There was no explanation, he had simply lost control. "And that's what happens each time you let your emotions get to your fucking head!" Callum gritted at Max. Max looked away and opened his closed fists. His lips parted in confusion and eyebrows furrowed remorsefully about what he had done. “I’m sorry” he said slowly. The look of desperation in his eyes read if i didnt accept his apology, he might pass out from the guilt. “I didn’t mean to. It was my wolf__” he shook his head. “No i shouldnt have, forgive me Liv, i dont know what the fuck came over me”I raised my hand and the sight was not pretty, my skin throbbed, where his claws ha
Liv's POV Ryder turned towards me and his facial expression softened. He understood that he had lost control a while ago. I clasped my hands together and swung my legs freely from the edge of the bed. My legs weren't long enough to touch the ground from the edge. It wasn’t as though I was too short, but the bed was massive.Ryder stood up and ran his hand across his hair. I figured he was racking his head about something. He seemed rather unease"Well, get some rest," Ryder smiled at me. "Wait," I stopped him before he left. "Tell me more about it," I pressured him even though I knew the reason he was unease was literally what I was asking him about.Ryder looked at me and puffed out a sigh. Walking back to where I was, he sat on the bed. "It all started when we got our wolf, several years ago," Ryder narrated, his eyes glued forward and not at me."Since we are triplets, it's normal for us to get the same type of wolf. Callum and I got a black wolf," he explained and then he presse
MAX'S POVI groaned as I stumbled out of the corridor. The voices in my head blocked my reasoning. The angry growls and murmurs from my wolf made me grit in anger. I clenched my fist in rage, shutting my eyes in exasperation. I wanted it to stop, but simple yelling ‘no’ wasnt working. I had already tried that. My wolf felt agitated, it was threatening to come out. I could sense the bloodlust, any experienced werewolf could sense the bloodlust. It wanted to—no, I wanted to rip my brothers apart. The wolf is another entity in me, but It also amplified my emotions. I was jealous, I didn't like the way they touched Liv. Liv. Her perfect face, her tiny lips, and those glamorous eyes. The way she looked at Callum with affection and how she enjoyed being touched by Callum more than any one else. No! My body has become distorted, shaking and drenched it sweat. It was only a matter of time before it let loose. But until then, I had to go somewhere, a place I couldn't harm anybody. "You
Callum's POV I pressed my lips together in annoyance, turning to look at Max who stared at Ryder like he just spoke gibberish.The situation was fucked. That was our lovely, most affectionate mother. She never changed. She had always been this self-centred, only concerned about matters concerning the pack and of course how she could get more powerful. I doubted if she even saw us as her sons, and not tools for extending the bloodline and power. "If this stands, we are fucked," I finally spoke after the silence, turning towards them. "I won’t take this” those words were accompanied by the rage and hatred that burned the inside of my chest.Ryder growled. "We won’t, fuck no”The look in Max's eyes said it all. He was determined to rebel against her. He was already having a hard time with his wolf. The news only made things worse."Then what are your asses waiting here for? Let's head to the fucking cause right now!" Max thundered suddenly like some sort of fire ignited inside of him. H
Liv's POV I caressed my lips with my fingers as I stared at the mirror, smiling at my reflection. I could still feel Ryder's touch on me. My cheeks were still flushed as they were when he had touched me there. There was a strange sensation in my stomach. It was present when I kissed Ryder, and it was still there even after he had left. My hands still shook in nervousness, while my heart still tugged from the excitementI got up from where I sat and walked towards the window. I convinced myself I was going to look at the view, but the ecstasy in my heart distracted me enough to bother about the moving cars, busy roads, or__The maids running around the mansion, not only maids but some other people. I narrowed my gaze on confusion, staring at the scene. That was the only thing that distracted my mind from thinking about RyderThere were suddenly a lot of guards positioned at every corner as though there was a gathering of top-ranking officials in the pack. I looked at the view for a w
Ryder's POV Bang, bang, bang. The sound was repetitive every five seconds. It filled the abandoned hall that had turned into our new prison. Bang. Bang. Max growled as he hit the door with his shoulder. There was no budging at all, no cracks or any sign that showed that the door was going to give way. "Come on Ryder, come here and help me," Max called out to me. His face was covered in sweat as he stood at the door. I turned to Callum for support, but he was far away, examining walls which I found strange. "Callum, come let's find a way to get out of here," I called out to him. He didn't answer me, as he continued touching the walls and muttering words I couldn't hear. He looked up at the ceilings and touched the walls. "Come help me here," Max hissed impatiently. He looked very worried. "The door won't budge, can't you see that?" I went to sit down. Max relaxed his muscles and looked at me. "Why do you say so? With our combined effort, we can be able to take down this door,
Liv's POV I ran as fast as my feeble legs could carry me through the woods. At that point, I didn't care if my bare feet were being torn by contact with the ground. The naked thorn and bush brushed against my clothes and tore some parts away. ‘Kill the Alpha.’I had witnessed a treasonous event. Any word of it that got out and it meant death. I knew that if I lingered there any longer, the Luna would have caught me. I knew she would have killed me on the spot so that her plans wouldn't be revealed. But either way, I wasn't planning on tattling either. I just wanted to get the fuck away from there. I was in a den full of wolves, and I was just a mere prey in their power struggles. The party was still in full bloom when I got to the Mansion. The guards didn't even care to give me a second look as I went into the maid's quarters. I used the entrance from the maid's quarters to branch into the mansion since they were connected and I ran straight to my room. I didn't have much money wi
Liv's POV Wake up, Liv! Wake up! Liv! I opened my eyes immediately and found myself lying on the floor of a room where I could barely see a thing. My wolf had been calling for hours. Although it was difficult to see in the room, I was strongly convinced that it wasn't my cell room. The floor was finished with slate unlike my cell room which was raw concrete. Moreover, if it was my cell room, I wouldn't be sleeping on the floor. I wouldn't even have rolled off to the floor because my bed was too big for that.. I tried to get up from the floor and a sharp ache hit the back of my neck. "Argh." I groaned, before carefully placing my palm on the spot and massaging it gently. And in that moment when I touched the spot where I felt the ache, a brief memory flashed through my head. I recalled being hit on that spot. And it happened in my cell room. Slowly, it all started coming back to me. Max! He had definitely sent that soldier back to my cell to knock me out. But what for? I folded
Callum's POV Max stood close to one of the glass walls of his penthouse. His back faced the door where I entered from and he didn't bother turning around to look at me. "Coming up here all alone, Callum, is a bold sign that you underestimate me so much," he said in a soft tone. "Cut the crap and tell me where you hid her," I ordered. He chuckled, throwing his head back. "Tell you where she is? Do you really want to know, Callum? Huh?" He shoved a feet backward in order to turn. "Don't dare it," I ordered. "Don't fucking move." "Huh? Don't tell me you're scared to look me in the face," he taunted. I gritted my teeth hard. "I promise you, Max, make another silly move and I will pull this fucking trigger. I swear on my life." "Bloody dare it," he taunted and finally turned around. I aimed the gun at his chest, carefully to shift it slightly from his heart. Then I pulled the trigger. What I expected to be a bang came out as a soft click sound. My orbs flew wide. When d
Callum's POVWhen I heard noises coming from the vent, I knew Ryder had arrived. But something baffled me. It had been more than thirty minutes now since the alarm went off, and yet, not a single man from Max's army had showed up.Climbing down from the vent, Ryder's brows lifted with surprise at the pile of enemy corpses heaped at a corner of the laundry room. "Quite some work you did here," he chuckled."Shut up," I mumbled, heightening my senses as the tip of my ears stood on edge.I went closer to the wall and placed my ear on it, listening carefully."They're coming," I blurted out immediately I started hearing footsteps approaching. "A lot of them. I think we're outnumbered.""That won't be a problem," Ryder said. "I came prepared."The moment he said that, I heard a heavy bang in the vent and two people murmuring and cussing at each other.Seeing a smile grow on Ryder's face, I raised a questioning brow."They're with us," he said, easing my nerves.Two soldiers came down from
Callum's POVThree trucks were ready to roll out, two loaded with arms and the last one with the tools for opening the tunnel.There were four men in each truck, except the last one which had just three of us.All the guns were muffled with silencers, and then, I instructed my men not to shift for any reason. We needed to do everything possible to avoid attracting attention to us as our group wasn't much of a force.As we drove closer to the location of the tunnel that led into the Darkmoon pack, we turned down our lights just in case some of Maxs guards were there. Luckily, there werent."Take your positions," I ordered the armed soldiers, tucking a pistol into the back of my trousers as I climbed down the truck.With a group of three soldiers who grabbed the equipment we had brought to cut the tunnel open, I went to the mouth of the tunnel.The foul stench of dead rodents hit my nose as we got to the entrance of the tunnel to inspect it. A channel that hadn't been used by our pack f
Callum's POVReturning to Dark sky pack with just a diary wasn't what I'd expected from my meeting with Samantha. Not after the risk we'd both taken to meet up in the woods of the Darkmoon.But the fact that Max kept a diary had me thinking and rethinking. If someone had told me he owned a diary, like a girl, I'd have doubted with every ounce of certainty.A sigh left me and I tucked the shitty diary into the pit of my arms.Ryder had a cup of hot coffee with him when I returned, his legs crossed as he rested them on the table while leaning back on his seat. He had never been a lover of coffee. Definitely, he was battling sleep. And yes, executing our plan had taken hell of time. But I'd rather bear that delay than a shameful defeat coming from advancing to fight Max without a proper plan."How did it go?" Ryder asked, dropping his coffee on the table."You mean the meeting with Samantha?" I purposely asked him."What else would I mean?" He queried. But I was pretty sure that if he p
Max's POVI smirked immediately I sighted Samantha’s figure emerge from the woods."Fucking bitch," I grinned. People who mistook silence for foolishness or weakness were the ones I despised the most.She froze in her tracks at the moment she saw me with my soldiers.With my senses heightened, I could hear her heartbeat throbbing fast, like a rat running out of its hole only to meet a cat waiting there for it."M-a-x," her lips quaked, ready to blurt a lie. But I didn't have the time for that.I had wasted much time already, all of which Callum had taken advantage of."It's not what you—" she tried to say, but I shushed her.Pointing at her, I ordered the soldiers who were with me, "arrest her!"A bitch like her deserved to rot in jail. Starved and punished without remorse."Please, Max. Don't do this!" She screamed as they dragged her away. She was the least of my problems. If she had some sense, she should have been able to tell from the start that I'd been following her with cauti
Callum's POVA beep on my phone. It was Samantha.My fingers became fast to touch the screen immediately I saw it was from her."Found something that could be helpful," the text said, "but you have to be careful so he doesn't notice something is off."I shot a gaze at Ryder who stood just beside me and had read the text along with me. "We need to get to her ASAP," I suggested. "We can't sleep on any slightest chance to push our plan further.""Definitely." Ryder nodded, his arms folded across his chest. "Now, what's a good location to meet up with her?""In the empty apartment of your brain—" Someone's voice intruded from the far end of the hall.My veins tense immediately I realized it was Frank. I gritted my teeth hard, fighting hard to suppress my irritation. I knew it was speak of the devil and he'd show up. But no one spoke about this bastard. Not even a single thought.He began to clap his hands as he approached. "Yeah, what a smart plan put together by two grown men at the di
Liv's POVAt the back of my head, I knew that going through someone's else's property without permission was a bad thing to do. At that moment I didn't want to think about what was wrong or right. There wasn't any time left to judge myself.I felt as though I could find something very important inside of this diary. I was curious to know, especially when I was aware of a diary being a person's first friend.It was hard for me though. For the fact that I wasn't used to taking people's stuffs without their permission but I might never get this chance again. I swiveled my head to Max's direction, he was still asleep.It looked as though he wasn't going to wake up at the soonest so I had enough time to my self. I flipped through some more pages but I was astonished at what I saw. Why was it blank? there was nothing written in it. Was this just to mislead me? did Max know about my plan before hand? No it wasn't possible and I knew for a fact I was right in thinking so.I almost slammed the
Liv's POVMy fingers slowly found the buttons of his shirt. I began to unbutton his shirt, my eyes were fixated on him. The way he stared at me was as though he had set his eyes on me for the first time.I walked behind him, removing the shirt off his body. I wrapped my arm around his neck, his back pressed against my bossoms. I began to caress his chest, I didn't fail to notice when his eyelids closed in the pleasure which consumed him.A sly smile beamed on the side of my lips. I thought it was a hard thing to do but it was so easy to pull him close to me.“I'm sorry" I leaned closer, whispering into his ears. I blew my breath on his earlobe as I dropped his shirt on the bed.“Why are you suddenly acting this way towards me?" he asked. His gaze pierced through my eyes, I stared back at him through the mirror.“What way is that? I really don't know what you're talking about” I said, acting completely ignorant. I turned my body away from him.He grabbed my wrist. I stopped right in tr
