The private lobby is a restricted area in the hospital, I had been there only once and that was when I had to deliver a message to my father who gave me a scolding afterward.

It was a large room but smaller than the general lobby, it was for the executive wolves who needed a place to relax while waiting for their loved one who was probably hospitalized or on quick medication.

Emergency meetings were also held here; say, for instance, a gamma is hospitalized for some reason and her mate comes to look after her. Being a high-ranked wolf; he would be allowed into the private lobby and matters of concern might be brought to him while he remains in the hospital to look after his mate.

Sometimes he is also allowed the chance to work from the hospital through the internet.

Ace helped me to a seat, not giving me a chance to protest, and firmly fixed our intertwined palms that were falling. He flashed me a smile before the door was thrown open and Derek's father, Jeffery Stones walked into t

    Ace took me back to the ward and requested that the doctor run a thorough check on me as he wanted to be sure I was completely fine, and that the burns hadn't left any underlying effect. He stepped away for the doctor to examine me, his eyes glued to me. The doctor ran his tool through the areas that were once smeared with burns, I watched his expression slowly switch to awe as he withdrew the equipment."She is perfectly fine, Alpha Ace," he revealed. Ace nodded before dismissing him, "I have to go conclude the event, Henry will be around in case of an emergency, he will attend to all of your needs in my absence. Don't hesitate to call on him for anything." I nodded, "I will." He stroked my cheeks for a while, his eyes filled with smiles and desires for me. "I'll be back," he pecked me and his huge figure slowly retreated towards the door. Once he was out, I stood up and walked to the bathroom to clean up, my cloth still had soup stains and my hair had bits of processed condimen

    ...Mira was grabbed by the throat and in a second she was held against the wall, being choked by Henry. His eyes were blazing with rage and in a few moments, Mira's face became red as a tomato as she gradually lost her breath. Brittany speechlessly watched in shock. Her lips shook as she struggled to speak, her feet fixated on the floor in evident awe. Mira kept struggling with him, her life slowly seeping away by the second. As soon as I regained my strength enough to walk, I immediately began pulling Henry back, not willing to cause more trouble. "Please let her go, it'll be more trouble if you hurt her!" I begged but Henry paid me no heed.Of course, the abused dejected me wouldn't bother pleading on her behalf but enjoy the sight of her being choked to death, but the current me only wanted to avoid trouble. I didn't want another reason to remain in the Crimson Pack. Mira's punishment was enough to pacify me for everything she did. "Henry please.." I continuously begged, pouri

    Paula yelled in horror the moment she sighted me, and immediately Henry came running toward me. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked, staring at me with fear and concern. I strolled my gaze from him to Paula who was still naked and frozen in shock. Henry's eyes dilated in shock and a panicking Paula immediately scampered around for a cover, she grabbed a blanket and quickly wrapped it around herself. Henry suddenly burst into a peal of muffled laughter, causing Paula to glare at him. "What the hell Paula, what is this?" He asked within giggles. "I thought the ceremony was over, why are you here instead of Alpha Ace?" She huffed at him. "If it was Ace, you wouldn't have your tongue anymore, Paula." Paula scoffed, "that's not true." "You know my room is just before this one, right? You must have mistaken it and come here instead," he teased, still laughing. "Unlike Ace, I wouldn't be mean to you." Paula glared at him, a flash of embarrassment in her eyes before turning to me

    ...Just before I could open my eyes, his body was on me and his arms pinned mine to the bed. I open my eyes and struggled to wriggle free from Derek's hold. His lips came on mine and I forced my mouth shut, shaking my head violently, but his force was too powerful for me. His lips kept moving on mine as he raised my hands above my head and pinned them both with one arm while the other began roaming my body. My scream and yell all fell into his mouth like forced moans, his body trapping mine from moving. I moved my eyes to the dial but I couldn't reach it. Under him, I was helpless. His hand reached underneath my dress and began going into my underwear. Amy struggled with me and with a few more trials, she unleashed; tearing Derek off me. As soon as he released me a little, I quickly crawled away from him and slapped him hard across the face, reflexively. He didn't touch the spot but he paused for a minute out of petrification. When he regained himself, I moved to the edge of the b

    ...I woke up hours later into the night, the first thing my gaze landed on was the alarm and it read nine P.M. Derek's after-crowning party was to hold an hour from now, and all pack members were to attend. I sat up on the bed, feeling lightheaded as I searched around the room for any sign of Ace's return. I pressed a dial and waited for a response, wondering why Ace was yet to return. Ace didn't mark me yet so I wasn't officially his and still a member of the Crimson Pack, but I had no intention of attending Derek's party, all I could think of was all the things that could go wrong. If Ace was present too, I would feel more at ease. There was a knock on the door and I ushered whoever it was in, Henry stepped inside. "You pressed a dial." "Is Alpha Ace back?" I asked, a pang of worry suddenly enveloping me. "He sent words that he'll delay a little longer. Other important matters came up after the event," Henry answered. "Is something wrong? Do you want to speak to him?" "No, n

    The next morning, I woke up feeling a delicious tingle between my legs as a flash of last night's memory visited my head. I felt the blanket directly contacting my skin and I look around for my clothes, realizing Ace wasn't in bed with me. Just then, the bathroom door went open and Ace walked out of the shower. His hair was wet and his body was clad in only a short towel, while another was on his shoulder. A blush stained my cheeks on sighting him and I instinctively grabbed the sheet to cover my bare body, trying to avoid his gaze.I heard him chuckle and his step draw closer to the bed, "hey," he sat on the bed and raised my face to stare at his. "Hi," I forced a smile. Dragging my gaze at anywhere but his slick chest that was dangerously attractive. It was my first time seeing him shirtless and I couldn't deny how good he looked. His hand remained on my chin as he tilted my face forward and crashed his lips on mine, kissing me for a few seconds. I pursed my wet lips when he with

    "I have every right to want her cos she was my mate, I can't help it. I rejected her but I want her back, and I will not let her go, Ace. She is mine!" Derek defiantly revealed. His gaze moved to me and there was a flash in his eyes that brought a wave of discomfort to my system, a dribble in my stomach pit. There was something about the way he stared at me that almost made his words believable but I knew better. He was a monster! I wasted no time tearing my gaze off, looking everywhere but at him. He could fool everyone but not me. I'd hurt him in every way if I had the chance, for everything he did to me. Every single scar and tear and forced out of me. I would hurt him without any regret. Ace sneered, "Now I'm convinced that she's a priceless asset to you and every member of this pack. Tell me, Derek, what are you willing to offer to keep her?" The question sent my eyes catapulting to Ace and I felt him slip his hands off mine and getting to his feet, a wave of fear surrounded m

    Tears streamed down my face as I stared at my father, the spite in his gaze was inevitable."I told you you can't leave," he said stoically, "why do you always disobey me, you beat?" I shook my head, refusing the utter the weak words of apology he wanted to get out of me. "Leave her alone, Pete," Derek's voice diverted his attention and he bowed, before walking out of the hall in stomps. Derek left his seat to mine, "come with me, Ellen," he opened his palm, waiting for me to accept it. I stared from the palm to his face. Already sensing the repercussion if I disobeyed, I placed my palm on his and allowed him to help me up from my seat and lead me out of the hall. The feel of his skin on mine resurrected bitter memories in my head, not a single one was fun or promising. The fact that he murdered the one person who truly cared about me, toppled the list. Natalie would definitely have done everything within her power to lighten my mood even though she couldn't save me. She would ha

    -My fingers ran through the gemstones, a grin resting on my face. "This is forever beautiful," I cried, letting him twirl me around gently until I was facing him. "You sure you don't want this one instead?" He asked, referring to the expensive gold necklace on his palm, seated in a jewelry box. "That one is a bit old.""I'm sure," I beamed. "It was through this necklace that I was able to know that you were alive. I was ready to give up to Ryker. I had prepared to die after he killed the warriors, but this gave me a reason to live."As I spoke, I remembered the Rogue maid who had lost her life for revealing Ace's situation to me. Bless her soul. I was alive because of her too. "To me, this is the most beautiful jewelry in the world, and it is important to me because it is important to you, too."Ace nodded, his eyes lighting up. I could sense that he had briefly recalled a part of his past. It was the day of the coronation for Ace's new position and we were in our room after get

    -My thumping heartbeat decelerated as I stared at Derek's lifeless body, my eyes filling up with tears of relief and gratefulness. Ace dug his claws into Derek's chest, uprooting his heart and signifying the end of the war. Like a whiff, all the memories and history I had with Derek raced through my mind. "It's finally over," I heard Acantha sigh, and the tears dropped from my eyes. It was really over. Derek was dead! It was over for good. My nose crinkled in disbelief, my eyes furrowing as the reality settled within me. My gaze shifted to Ace and despite the loud chants and celebration, I could hear the beating of my heart clearly. Despite the amount of people around, my eyes could somehow only see Ace. Amongst the crowd hovering around him, his gaze found me, too, and before I could burst, I swooped into his arms. He caught me easily and I buried my face into his chest, releasing my emotions shamelessly. Two of our greatest enemies were now gone for good!Ace nuzzled his face

    -Ace held my hand, stopping me from getting any closer to Derek. "This is not over, I promise you," he gritted, his eyes sending daggers at me.We watched quietly as he contested with the pain, trying to subdue it. He attempted to get up several times, cussing violently every time he failed; his eyes were filled with rage and determination as he continuously tried to move. After a final hectic attempt, he crashed to the ground and burst into laughter. "It's funny how easily fooled you can be, Ace," he cackled, blood dripping slightly from the side of his lip.I figured he was trying to buy time and gather his strength again so he could take us unaware but before I could act, Ace charged at him. "No, it's funny how you think you can stall me while you buy some fuckin time," Ace grabbed him up roughly. "Why?" Derek scoffed, feigning strength even though he was limping. "You're scared I'd beat your ass up if I wasn't in this situation?""We both know what the truth is-"Then why d

    -Ace glared at Derek, making sure his body obstructed mine."You will have to go through me first to have her!"Derek's steps faltered, and he seemed even more angry. "If that is what you want then I shall do as you please and get rid of you.""You seem to use your mouth a lot, don't you?" Ace scoffed. "I use it better, too; you can ask your little mate to tell you what I mean."I put my palm in Ace's, ensuring he held me, and preventing him from rashly going at Derek. Derek was trying hard to provoke him and it made me wonder what he was up to. "We had a little fun while you were out there in the wilderness, struggling to survive."I opened my mouth to speak and vehemently curse at Derek for lying but Ace beat me to it. "She must not have liked it as much as you think seeing how she still tricked and escaped from you. She came back to me, that should tell you a lot of things.""Still she betrayed you!""Oh Derek," Ace breathed out, "you don't get it, do you? What matters is whos

    -We stood in the open, ensuring that the passage to our secret safehouse was out of sight. Everyone took their position, mine was beside Ace, as we heard the enemy's footsteps approaching. I held my breath, trying not to squirm under Ace's hold. I knew he would at once detect my discomfort and send me back in. I didn't want that; I wanted to face Derek; I burned to see him fall with my own eyes. Derek showed up first, leading the warriors of his pack; he growled and roared as they approached us, arrogantly announcing his presence. Ace moved me to stand behind him and I stayed without arguing. I took the chance to fix my discomfort, ensuring that I showed no weakness in front of Derek. "What a surprise, it is indeed true that you survived. Fuckin luck," Derek mocked, scoffing at Ace. "Well, it's too bad because this time, you're going to the land of the dead, and there is no escaping it.""If I were you, I'd do more fighting and less talking. Did you forget you're in my territory?"

    -With Henry's suggestion, we swiftly gathered around. He had already drawn out a quick plan on how we were going to face Derek and his goons, and he discussed it with Ace. Inputting Acantha's suggestion, we came to a conclusion on how to face our attackers. Ace stepped out and dished the instructions and everyone immediately set to work. Leaving out the pups, younger and ailing wolves aside, the rest of us came together to be grouped in smaller forms. There were many hidden parts of the Ocean Howls pack that the Crimson pack or any other pack was not aware of. Ace had reconstructed the country after his father's defeat in a way that we would mostly have the upper hand against the enemy. That was a big advantage for us. Ace regrouped the warriors into ten smaller groups and individually gave them a goal, coordinating each group separately. Some groups were focused on studying maps of the Ocean Howls Pack territory and securing strategic locations for refuge in case our attackers

    Ellen-"Our only way in now is through the emergency back gate; hopefully, through it, we can arrive at the pack house in time before Derek's men reach it," Ace revealed. He was a lot calmer now. "Who else is aware of this entrance?" Acantha asked, being cautious. "Only Henry and I know about it. Out of safety, we didn't reveal it to the pack members yet. I constructed it as an emergency exit for situations like this, there is also a safe house behind it. I believe Henry must have evacuated the members to the safe house," Ace spoke. From the tensity of his breathing, one could tell how furious he was. The situation had gotten chronic. If Acantha hadn't stopped him at the time she did, from running after the warriors, things could have taken a drastic twist. I didn't want to imagine what could have happened. Ace led us to the emergency exit, and we walked as quickly as we could. If we could arrive before Derek's men, we would be able to prepare ourselves beforehand.

    "Your bravery reminds me of your father," Acantha voiced after being quiet for a while. "No matter how hard I try to overlook it, I see his face when I look at you. How did he die?"I lowered my gaze, talking about my parents had always been a sensitive topic for me. It was something I didn't fancy discussing with anyone. It was the only topic that could break an Alpha like me. Georgia was the only one who had successfully managed to get a word out of me concerning it, and it was probably because she experienced the torture with me. "I'm sorry for bringing that up, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it," Acantha apologized. "No, it's okay," I bit my lower lip, making my expression stoic. I needed to get over it, and also build my relationship with Acantha. For Ellen's sake, I wanted to do this. "I was twelve when he was murdered, he died trying to protect me after we were attacked unaware. My mother was killed on the same day, she was raped to death, and I was made to watc

    -"Ace, I-I can't. My powers are gone," Ellen vibrated, her hands shaking out of fear, her eyes teary. I glanced at the beasts who had already reached us and I pushed Ellen to my side so my body was facing them.She started to shake her head, trying to stop me from my thoughtless decision but I was hell-bent on protecting her. With her powers gone, it was even more dangerous for her to be close to these beasts. I would rather die than watch her face that fate. In despair, I prepared for whatever was coming, determined to fight even to death. Just as they growled, attempting to jump at us, I felt a familiar presence and her voice echoed through the cave when she spoke. "Acantha!" I heard Ellen exclaim in excitement. I turned to find Acantha emerging towards us, holding a staff in her hand that radiated a great amount of power. The strength that exuded out of her alone was enough to cease the beasts' steps. Calmly analyzing the situation, she stepped in front of me, facing the bea
