ZADOK

Kir has been a lot more agitated lately. For some reason, my wolf became harder to control, which caused me to be in a poor mood.

Just yesterday, my wolf went batshit crazy on some rogues that thought it best to cross my territory. Safe to say they sorely regretted it, as they currently burned in the deepest part of hell.

Today however was going to be interesting. I sat on my throne with Azriel behind me as we awaited the presence of Ithra, or should I say, the neutral one.

The doors flung open and she was dragged in by some guards, her hands tightly secured by heavy chains.

She was a prisoner. My prisoner.

With a wave of hand, the guards left my presence, leaving her on the floor, head bowed and alone with me and my beta.

“I suppose you have an answer for me, Ithra.” I said, looking forward to seeing her beautiful face.

“I do.” She answered, and my heart might have skipped a beat.

“Good.” I purred, liking the fact she was responsive to me, perhaps her stay at the prison sobered her up to the reality of things. “Let's hear you.”

“I can never be a part of your pack.” She spat. “I'd rather die than be a part of this cursed pack, so unless you have something else planned, I suggest you kill me now.”

Azriel advanced towards her, no doubt ready to teach her a lesson but I held him back. This was my fight.

Getting up from my throne, I circled her like a prey, intentionally sending waves of my alpha aura around the room.

“I see you are determined to lose your life, witch.” I held her red hair and squeezed tightly, “Unfortunately, you are more valuable to me alive than dead.” I let go of her hair, and continued. “The moment you crossed into my territory, like every other beast, you lost your right to decide what happens with your life and what not.”

“Just kill me Alpha, kill me like you've killed others because I assure that you'll never get value out of me alive!” Ithra spewed but I didn't care.

I held her face up and she struggled to look away but failed to escape my iron grip and continued like she didn't openly defy me.

“What that means is that, whether or not you like it, you must be loyal to me. And if you are having a hard time learning to accept the easy way, then you will learn the hard way.”

My words were a promise. One she would realize soon enough.

“Take her to my quarters.” I ordered, and with a curt bow, Azriel executed my command. Dragging her away with just as much distaste as expected.

By the time he returned, his face was a lot more questioning than anything.

“Say it.” I ordered after some moments of silence.

“What do you intend to do with her? Why is she in your quarters? What's the plan?” He fired his questions without as much breathing space.

I could understand his confusion. If there was anyone that hated the witches more than myself, it was him. I also knew that the thought of having one anywhere other than the prison or six feet under left a bitter taste in his mouth.

“I need to win her over.” I ended up saying.

Azriel gave me a look that said he couldn't understand what the hell it had to do with the case at hand.

“Listen, if I am going to get her on my side, then she needs to be close.” I explained, “Fighting her every single time wouldn't get her to do shit for us, and we're running out of time. The earlier I get her on board with us, the better for us all.”

“What makes you think she will bend her beliefs just because you gave her a room in your quarters? Beautiful room or not, she is still a prisoner, that much is clear to her. Doesn't matter if it's the dungeons or a fancy one with a bow on it.”

I felt exasperated, most of it stemmed from the fact that he was making sense. Surely Ithra wouldn't turn a new leaf and decide to help us just because I gave her a fancy new prison room.

What the hell was I thinking? Surely there had to be a more realistic approach to it.

“What do you suggest I do?” I finally asked, having hit a dead end.

“We need to find something that will make her want to help us. Whether she likes it or not.” Azriel said and I looked as lost as he did a few moments ago.

“What do you mean?”

“Shilhi says the neutral one must be willing to do it, she needs to genuinely be on our side, else it won't work.”

“Tell me something I don't know..”

At this rate, I was getting impatient. If he had a plan, then he might as well speak up and keep the long talk.

“We need to make her want to do this. At this point, she doesn't care about her life so it's useless threatening to kill her. But if we used something else..”

“Something she actually cared about, then she would be willing to do anything for us.” I finished for him, loving the idea as seconds passed. “Now all we have to do is find out what she actually cares about, something strong enough to get her to do what we want. That's a brilliant idea!”

“Thank you, Alpha.” He replied humbly.

“Great, let's get to it immediately! I need every single detail about her on my table by nightfall. Who she is, where she came from, her mission, goals, parents, every single thing you can find. Get Shilhi to work with you on that, and report to me before nightfall.” I ordered, already seeing everything come together.

“Yes sir.”

With that, Azriel left my presence with a task, knowing him well, I knew it was only a matter of time before I found out everything about my little witch.

    ITHRA Azriel didn't like me. “Here's your new room,” he said with gritted teeth. “Gatria over there will oversee your… stay here.” He cleared his throat. “You mean I get a female guard now?” I gasped dramatically, “But I loved my guards rough and dirty, why don't I get you for a guard instead?” I knew I was biting more than I could chew, but I didn't care. I meant it when I said I'd rather be dead than be here. “Don’t test me, witch.” He spoke in a dangerously low tone, then turned to Gatria. “Keep in touch.”With that, he left me in the hands of a woman I knew nothing about. Just great. “Hello…” she said, expecting me to say my name but I feigned stupid.“My name is Gatria and I am the head mistress of the blood moon pack,” she introduced with a smile. I looked her up and down, wondering why on earth she was being tolerant of my existence. When she saw I had no plans to introduce myself, she demanded it.“May I know your name, child?” Child?! This woman did not just call me

    ITHRAI stared daggers at Zadok who went on eating his food like he didn't just insult me. The nerve of him to think I wouldn't get back at him baffled me. Thwack! I threw down the plate of food placed in front of me. “Oops!” I shrugged, and got up. “I believe I'm done here, alpha.” I made to leave the table but got held back by a tight hold on my wrist. “Let me go.” I said, accentuating every word.Without letting go of me, Zadok dropped his fork and got up his feet. I could feel his blazing gaze and the anger that sizzled through him. “Sit.” He ordered, I didn't care if he was angry, neither did I care if I was taking a gamble with my life by not obeying him. But I remained standing. “Let me go, Zadok.” I dared to speak, venom laced in my tone. I feel his hand loose around my wrist and I am shocked that he let me go. He sits down on his chair and just when I was about to leave his presence, his voice stopped me. “Ithra Couldron. Daughter of the Celts Coven enchantress. Did

    ITHRA“Tell me, what is it like back at your coven? Was it that bad, you had to run away?” Zadok asked while I ate silently. “I didn't run away.” I gritted, “If you're going to intrude on my personal life at least get your facts straight.”I don't know why the thought of him knowing how I was treated made me furious. Everything about the man in front of me infuriated me and the baffling thing about it was that he knew. He knew but didn't give a damn about how I felt. “Watch your tone.” He cautioned with a hard voice, “As much as I have everything I need to know about you at the tip of my fingertips, nothing beats hearing from the culprit, don't you think?” He says, slicing through his meat. I hated that I was so hungry. If not, I would have gotten up from this table and headed back to my room. Cough, prison. Since I couldn't leave, I decided it was best to make this breakfast as unbearable to him as it was for me.“Tell me,” I began, “Do you prefer cooked meat as opposed to raw

    ITHRA“For someone who is at the mercy of the alpha, you speak out of turn too often.” Azriel said as we trudged the hallways. So he could speak? Maybe I needed to do things like this with Zadok more often, anything to get his moody beta to speak more often than growl. Unable to hold my tongue, I fired back, “For someone who doesn't like me, you are speaking to me a lot more than usual.”“And why would you say I don't like you?” He spoke like it was the most bizarre thing he's heard in a while.“You didn't deny it.” I pointed out,He gave me a look I couldn't quite understand, “You are still alive and you are not in chains.”“Yeah, but no thanks to you.” I said, and he rolled his eyes, knowing there was no winning with me.When he didn't say anything, I continued. “Are you always like this or is this just me?”“It's just you.” I didn't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. And it did sound offensive. “Care to explain what I did to warrant you treating me like dirt? Not tha

    ITHRAApparently, my identity as a witch didn't phase Althea, because in the next few minutes, she talked my ears off till I nearly regretted talking to her in the first place.“When I didn't get my wolf six years ago, the pack changed towards me and I think with time, they just decided to ignore my existence.”Althea was telling me how she became the lowest ranking wolf in the bloodMoon pack. And of course, it was giving me more ammunition and reasons why this pack was the worst. “You mean to tell me that you were reduced to the position of an omega just because you don't have a werewolf?” I asked, the ridiculousness of it all eating at me.Althea wiped a plate clean and dropped it by the side. “I can't really blame them because there's only so little I can do without my wolf. Despite having accelerated healing and claws, I can't compete with a fully transformed wolf.”I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her words, “It's not your fault that your beast refused to show up at the time

    ZADOK“Are you just going to stand there and watch all day?” Azriel said a few meters away from me. We were on training grounds. The air reeked with sweat, determination and blood. Just the way I liked it. “You are doing a good job,” I commented, examining the wolves as they sparred. “However, there is room for improvement. I taught you better than this.” “This is just the first round, Alpha. I promise it gets rough with time.” Azriel said, now standing beside me. “All I hear is excuses.” I tutted, “take a look at the female wolf's end. Athaliah is doing a better job. Perhaps I should watch them instead?” Athaliah was the strongest female wolf in the bloodMoon pack, she was capable of training other females. Ths was as a result of the alpha blood that flowed through her veins, and the impressive skills she's built over the years.I hear excited screams from the other end where the females trained and I realize they were all listening in on our conversation.

    ZADOKThe lot was drawn and the fight began! This time around, Azriel was calm and calculated, successfully hiding his next moves, and catching me unaware more often than not. “I see you know what you are doing,” I complimented after getting into a draw with him. One would think that with how weak he was, he'll be a bit easier to finish off, but Azriel always put that fact to shame. Despite being badly wounded by yours truly, he was still brimming with strength as though we just started. A worthy opponent indeed. “I told you, Alpha. There's a first time for everything.” He started, spitting out blood. Again, I went at him, determined to force him to submission. We closed in a headlock and I rammed my fist ceaselessly into his stomach while he did the same. By now, the entire training ground was engulfed in silence, everyone watching with rapt attention to see who would give up. With a spin kick, and uppercut, Azriel fell to his knees, barely able to stand. “You should know yo

    ZADOKPick her up! Pick her up! My mind yelled at me, and like a possessed person, I walked towards Ithra with that goal in mind. Probably scared by what happened, she leans into her person but I wasn't deterred. I picked her up like a pack of cards and immediately made my way out, leaving behind a pack of bowed wolves in my wake. As I stepped through the people, carrying her bridal style, my eyes caught an unconscious wolf by the corner with a knife to the chest. My blood boiled, knowing exactly who had perpetuated that act. My eyes connected with Ithra's and my hold around her tightened. With clenched jaws, I walked past the body, sending a note to Azriel to take the impaled wolf to the pack doctor while I led Ithra to the prison till I knew exactly what to do with her. We got to the prison and I dumped her on the floor. “Lock her up. No food or water until I say otherwise.” I ordered one of the guards who immediately dragged her away with a snarl. I watched Ithra struggle to

  • The Alpha Can't Sense His Mate!   CHAPTER 130 - Epilogue.

    ITHRA’S POV I woke up with a moan. Zadok was between my legs. This has been the case since I was declared ready and fit to go home. I couldn’t believe I survived. And that with Logan intact - my little fighter. When I woke up, I was unable to use my body or legs properly, I remembered the relief I felt when the news broke that my baby had survived the poison given to me by Cole. They said he had a will to fight and three months down the line, he was still kicking and ready to come out - our hybrid baby. Zadok licked me and I let out a soft moan, “Baby...” “Good morning, Amore.” He said with his face between my legs. His breath caused a vibrating feeling down my cooch and I bit my lips in ecstasy. “Zadok,” I muttered, and his finger slipped into my core. A shiver passed through my body and I felt my baby kick. “I want you.” He said, “I want you in all the way possible.” I closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his hands on my body. His fingers went in and out of me, increa

    ZADOK’S POV I held Ithra’s hand while they attended to her. “How is she? And my baby?” I stuttered, unable to swallow. She looked too thin. Our baby bump was showing but she was yet to wake up. It’s been three days already. “Her body is weak, and the baby has been poisoned. We are trying to save their lives but the odds are not in our favour.” I got on my feet and held the shirt of the doctor. “You will save both their lives!” I roared in his face and he looked scared out of his wits. “You will save them both or I will have your head.” Azriel stepped in front of me, holding me back. “Alpha. You need to let them do their job. Staying here and scaring them out of their wits will only hinder the smooth operation and speed recovery of the Luna.” “What am I supposed to do?” I asked, breathing heavily. “What am I supposed to do when my mate is lying lifeless and I risk losing her and my baby?!” Azriel maintained silence. He knew I was at my wit's end and was capable of doing a

  • The Alpha Can't Sense His Mate!   CHAPTER 128 - Is that you?

    AZRIEL’S POV I figured out the best way to rescue the Luna that night. You can imagine my shock when I came to share my progress with the Alpha and found him gone with a note that he was taking a head-start. My shock grew when my spies in the Moon Light pack informed me of Zadok’s arrest and his close execution. I was already on my way with the warriors when Athaliah’s message of Zadok’s impending death was delivered. We got to the pack at midnight, and according to my three-month-old plan, we infiltrated the borders, clearing the guards while keeping a low profile. The heavens must have smiled at us because the entire pack was gathered for an announcement, making our entrance, swift and painless. By the time they were done crowning Athaliah Luna, we were mixed in the crowd, and brushing the dungeons for signs of the Alpha and Luna. Soon enough, news of our arrival spread and warriors were dispatched to the dungeons, seeking us out. It soon became a warzone, and I killed ever

  • The Alpha Can't Sense His Mate!   CHAPTER 127 - Are you for me or are you against me?

    ATHALIAH’S POV I was one step closer to my goal. I walked down the aisle with a faux smile, while Cole stood in the portal with an impatient look on his face. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on the prisoners and I could understand that. A sudden assembly had been called to welcome me as the new Luna of the Moon Light pack. I heard the whispers. They couldn’t believe that I had climbed my way up to snagging the position of Luna. Thanks to Ithra’s sudden pregnancy, Cole decided she had been tainted and could not serve as his luna. However, he had every intention of making her his slave after killing the bastard that grew in her stomach. But of course, his crazy obsessive mind couldn’t deal with the thought of killing Ithra with her baby, so he sought ways to kill the growing child while keeping its mother’s life. Hence, her imprisonment in the dungeons, coupled with the timely administration of abortive potions. Live long enough and you will see a lot of things. In the thic

    ZADOK’S POV “This is useless!” I banged my fist on my office desk. “I need to leave. I need to get her out.” Azriel, the ever voice of reason spoke first. “I understand your reasons. But we need to cover all bases before we rescue her from Cole’s hold. It’s one thing to sneak you into the pack, but It’s another to take her out in one clean try.” “I don’t care! I don’t care anymore.” I said, getting up on my feet. “If it will take a war to get her out, then rally the warriors. Because I’m done with this shit!” “We can’t go to war.” Azriel's tone was levelled. “That would be us sending people to their deaths with the risk of coming up empty.” “I don’t care what you think. I need to go back and retrieve her. If you are unable to come up with a plan, then rally up the warriors, we move in three days.” “We can’t go to war.” He said and I saw red. “And why the hell not?!” “Athaliah.” He said and my anger rose to an all-time high. “She is the new beta of the Moon Light pack and

    ITHRA’S POV It’s been three months. Three months since he visited me, promising to return and save me from this insanity. Every day I woke up with hope, waiting for him to save me like he promised - only to be disappointed when night fell and there was no appearance of him in my room or the Moonlight pack. A lot happened this past few months. After my sizzling night with him, I decided to prepare. I woke up that morning, wore my clothes and pretended I couldn’t feel the ache or hollow between my legs that yearned to be filled by him. I went about my life like a docile bride, doing everything within reason to convince Cole I had submitted to him. The first few weeks were tricky, seeing he didn’t believe my act and thought I had something planned. However, as we approached the third month, Cole was convinced of my acts and took every opportunity to show me off as one whom he managed to bend to his standards. Kissing up to Cole had its ups and downs. For starters, I was no long

    ITHRA’S POV I returned to my room from dinner with Cole, escorted by two guards. Dinner with Cole was painful. Listening to him yap about how I needed to be good to enjoy more of these ‘privileges’ with him made my stomach churn. I sat there like a moron while he fussed over me like he didn’t beat me a while ago. I could feel my sanity dwindling the more I remained here. Much more than anything, I craved freedom. Freedom that Cole has vowed never to give me. I was trapped in an insane nightmare that was my life. One would think I have suffered enough to experience peace but whoever wrote my story thought otherwise. We arrived in front of my door and they opened it, silently urging me inside the dark room. I walked in and the door was shut and locked. I sighed and felt the walls around me, looking for a light switch. Soon enough, light flooded my room, or should I say - my prison and the first thing I saw was a dark shadow standing by my window. Startled, I blinked, grabbing

    AZRIEL’S POVThis madness ends today.I thought as I marched to Zadok’s office with proof of why we must rescue Ithra.Yes, I was beyond convinced she was the one. My instinct had once again been proved right and if the Alpha refused to take action this time, I would do so myself.She was my half-sister after all.I knocked on the door and Zadok ordered me in. His face was a wreck as always. I didn’t care. I was done doing things on his terms. If there would be any further proceeding with us, then he needed to get out of that self-depreciating slum or I would yank him out myself.Damn the consequences.

    ITHRA’S POVThe sound of the metal door opening stirred me awake.“Rise and shine, Luna,” Athaliah said with a smile.I felt weak. Too weak to say a word to her.“Thankfully, your mate is better and he has ordered to have you out of here.” She said with a clasp and some men entered my cell. “Seeing you can’t help yourself, I thought to bring some guards to speed the transfer.” She added with a smirk and the guards picked me up roughly.I felt pathetic. I couldn’t even fight back as they roughly dragged me through the concrete floor, leaving me with bruises and scratches.By the time I returned to my room
