AZRIEL’S POV
Today 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
ZADOK’S POV“She made me lie! I had to do it to survive the dark forest.” He said, “She saved me from dying and gave me the assignment saying it was for the good of the pack!”“I didn’t mean to lie! Please! Spare my life!” Aaron lamented while I stood immobile, gaze focused on Athaliah.For the first time, I felt at a loss for words. My brain was blank and I could bring myself to understand why she would do such evil against me.I couldn’t understand what I did to her to warrant such an act of betrayal. My blood boiled as I looked at her, waiting for some explanation.Something that told me Aaron was lying, and his entire story was a scheme to save his head. But nothing came forward, forcing me to ask.“Athaliah.” I breathed, “I will only ask you this once.” Athaliah stiffened and for the first time in a long time, the air reeked of Athaliah
ZADOK’S POV“Why didn’t you tell me?!” I roared as soon as Azriel shut the doors of my office. “Why on earth would you keep something so important from me?!”“Nothing,” Azriel answered, his tone calm.“What do you mean nothing? You mean to tell me that this entire time, Athaliah, who is YOUR mate has been pining to be Luna and you didn’t deem it fit to tell me? Are you kidding me?!”“It wasn’t necessary.” He answered and that only increased my anger.“It wasn’t necessary?” I laughed and threw over my table the next second - causing a loud crash in my office. “It wasn’t necessary?!” I roared. “Tell me, how many more things have you hidden from me? How many more things did you deem unnecessary to tell me?”Azriel bowed his head, biting his lips. Did he think I was joking?
AZRIEL’S POV“If for some insane reason, you make it out alive today, do us all a favour and leave this pack,” I said to Athaliah, who walked with a limp, around her prison room.“How is Zadok? Why isn’t he here? I need to thank him for sparing my life.” Athaliah said with an eagerness that made me want to slap her silly.“Is that all you can think?” I asked in bewilderment. “You are on a death roll and you still can’t shut off the thoughts of Zadok?”Frustration was evident in my tone but she didn’t care. What was I thinking? She never cared.“Don’t dramatise it.” She said in a taut tone. “You know how I know I would survive this? Because If Zadok wanted me dead, I would be dead by now.”“No shit.” I rolled my eyes. “Right now, the Alpha is out of the waters, and as much as I think you deserve death
