AZRIEL’S POV
We returned to Zadok’s office, leaving Aaron half-dead in the dungeons.
“What happened?” I asked for the nth time, while Zadok paced in the office.
“I should have finished him up! I should have killed him with my bare hands.”
Athaliah stepped into the office, sporting a worried look
“You want to know what happened?” He finally said, taking a seat. “I met my mate at the ceremony!” He announced with an evil smile.
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.
“Athaliah,” He called, “Please tell Azriel what happened at the ceremony tonight.” He said with a deranged expression, “Tell him how I watched my mate get mated to another, how my mate was stolen away before my eyes.”
“Alpha...” Athaliah began but he shut her up.
“Listen.” Zadok chuckled, “I
CALLA’S POVI followed Scarlett to the field where we had our practice.Having stayed up all night, the last thing I wanted was to do this but I didn’t quite have a choice.It was a crime to miss any day of practice and I’d be damned if I let another wolf suffer for another one of my misbehaviours.Hopefully, today’s training will be a walk in the park.I stood in the middle of the field and Scarlett clasped her hands, “Today, we are going to be practising how to make a piece of land barren.” She announced with excitement.I was wrong. There was no breezing through for me. At this rate, Scarlet was after my life.“You look so weak,” She noted, observing me with a raised eyebrow. “Had too much fun with the Alpha last night?” Her tone was suggestive.“I didn’t sleep,” I said, but she seemed to get the wrong impr
CALLA’S POVMy body froze, and I smelt him before I saw him.“I see my Calla has grown much stronger than the last time I was here?” He stated more than asked.“Welcome, Alpha,” Scarlett said from beside me, giving him a slight bow. “Our Luna has grown in leaps and bounds.” She added.I remained silent.Cole clasped his hands, “I can tell from what I see.” He noted, seeming pleased. “Don’t let me stop you. Ignore my presence and go on with what you have planned, I’ll watch from a distance.” He said, stepping into my front, “But first, I need to ensure she is alright.”Cole said to no one in particular, and Scarlett stepped away, giving us privacy.“You don’t look too good my love.” He said, pushing my face to meet his eyes. “Did you have a good night's rest?”I shook my head, &ldq
AZRIEL’S POVToday would be interesting.I could tell as I came out of my room, headed for the Alpha’s chambers. We had a mission and I was determined to see that my plan was fruitful - by any means necessary.However, I needed to confirm something before we began our Journey to the MoonLight pack. I saw Athaliah’s door open and she came out just in time.I pushed her into her room without a word and shut the door behind us.“What-” I covered her mouth with my palm, preventing her from screaming while she took me in.When she was settled, I slowly let down my hand, and pulled her to the wall of the dark room, placing a hand by her side.Athaliah swallowed, and the sight of it drove something beastly within me. Now was not the time. I needed to be sure of something.“What’s this about?” She finally asked, jolting me from my thoughts.
AZRIEL’S POVWe ended up on the bed. Half naked and under the dark glow of the room.I sucked on Athaliah’s nipples like my life depended on it. If I was being honest, I thought it did.Sparks ignited between us and my member throbbed to be inside her, but I needed to know first. I needed to be sure before I gave in to my unhinged desire to take her in every possible way - to ruin her for everyone else.My hands fingers continued their assault, edging her to no end. “Azriel...” She moaned and gathered the bedsheet with both fists. “Please..”As much as I loved to see her like this, I couldn’t afford to lose my shit. “Tell me,” I purred, biting her earlobe, as I tortured her, digging dip into her with every thrust of my finger. Her wetness dripped down her thighs, and I felt proud. “Did he see her?” I began, “Did Aaron really see her or was it a lie?”&nbs
AZRIEL’S POVWe were surrounded when we stepped foot in the Moon Light pack.I heard the unfriendly growl from Zadok, and the MoonLight wolves, bared their claws each ready to attack.“We mean no harm.” I announced to the wolves, “Take us to the alpha.” I requested, hoping they were smart enough to see we were here on a peace offering.“And who do you think you are, coming here unannounced?” One of the wolves asked, baring his canines and eyeing us warily. “The ceremony is over. Didn’t get the memo?”“Tell Alpha Cole that we are here for goodness sake!” That was Athaliah. She had been in a terrible mood since this morning.I didn’t give a fuck.“Identify yourselves.” A wolf came up, with an air of confidence.My eyes narrowed, “Are you the beta of this pack?”“I don’t see h
AZRIEL’S POVWe followed Alpha Cole to a large field, walking past several guards.For some reason, there was a sordid smell in the air and the lands seemed...dead. The grass was dead and the atmosphere was odd - like a disaster was waiting to happen.Cole led us, ushering us in while we followed in silence. The Atmosphere around Zadok suddenly tensed and I knew something was wrong. I looked around and that was when I saw her.Short Red hair, curvy and strong. Standing agile beside a lady I didn’t know. Zadok stilled beside me and I knew he’d seen her too. There was no way in hell it wasn’t Ithra.Even her presence was familiar. I could feel it despite standing metres away from her. Her back stiffened as soon as Cole spoke.“Forgive me, my Calla!” He said, slowing his steps as he approached her and carelessly hung an arm around her. “We had guests and I had to play host for a minute.”Uh
CALLA’S POVI felt his eyes on me - Zadok’s.Or should I say, Alpha Zadok’s? I couldn’t be distracted by him though. I didn’t have time to think about how his hands fit so perfectly around mine, or how much I wanted to return his gaze that had been on me all this while.“I know you are tired, love.” Cole’s voice brought goosebumps in my arms. “Make it snappy and you’ll be off to rest.”Since when did I hate his guts this much? My eyes found the bloodied men placed before me. The men I was supposed to kill for Cole’s amusement.Sparing them wasn’t an option. I knew that from my three years of experience with Cole. If there was even the slightest chance of me trying to change his mind - it was thrown out of the window by the appearance of the guests.I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry about it.“Channel that power you sp
ZADOK’S POVI couldn’t stop looking at her - My Amore, my Ithra, my mate.I knew it was stupid to agree with Azriel’s plan to pay her a visit without a concrete plan to recover her but I couldn’t resist the temptation of even a chance of seeing her again.I needed to see her again, to be sure I wasn’t crazy. I needed to see her and touch her. To feel the little sparks between us to know that I was indeed living a life where my Ithra was still alive.Nothing prepared me for the sight of her, standing under the sun while she forced herself to kill against her will. It took a miracle to prevent me from blowing up at Cole, who was having difficulty reading the room.I got angry at how many other things he was forcing her to do against her will. We were leaving the field after Ithra blatantly confronted Cole, declaring she was unable to kill.At that moment, I felt my member harden
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
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
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
