The Alpha's Desire For His Abused Mate CHAPTER 66
The first thing I did when I woke up with the worst jerk of my life, and with my body shuddering, was trying to contact Ace through the mind-link. I just had the most horrifying nightmare of my life. It was a nightmare of Ace being tortured to death. Ryker and Derek stood side by side with smirks on their faces as their henchmen whipped Ace with strong cords. His hands and feet were bounded with strong chains and his lips were strapped shut with duct tape that had already broken off. Ace looked half-dead but they wouldn't stop hitting him. He was burned with red hot iron and most of his skin was missing its outer layer. The sizzling sound of his ripping flesh rang in my head as they burnt him but not once did Ace express pain by crying. His teeth were tightly clenched and his gaze, filled with hatred and pain, was plastered on both Ryker and Derek. With how hard his face was, I knew he must have bled from the clinch. I watched with tears in my eyes as his face first loosened up an

***I gripped my chest, taking quick breaths as I crashed to the floor. I blinked rapidly, fighting back the tears while struggling to ease my aching head. I fetched a glass of water and chugged down the liquid but the pain in my chest wouldn't cease, it felt like my heart had been pulled into a knot and both ends of the rope were being tugged in opposite directions. It gave a painful twist but I refused to cry because crying only meant that I had accepted their reality. I lifted myself from the floor and walked to the bed. It would only be a matter of time before Ace's absence gets noticed by everyone else and questions would be asked. It would be unusual to not have any news of him flying around so I was sure that pretty soon, everyone would know what had happened. "Luna.." a knock sounded on my door. "A letter arrived from the council.""Bring it in," I ushered and the messenger walked in. He stood in front of me and curtsied, making me wonder why the werewolf council was sudde

***I paced outside the ward, my cladded feet slapping against the tiled floor. Henry and Georgia were seated but one could see how worried they were. A strong stench of hope hung in the atmosphere as we awaited the doctor's call. A few hours ago, the crew that was on the lookout for Ace returned with a body. They had found it at the shore, washed out by the sea. It was in an unrecognizable state as it had stayed in the sea for what seemed to be many weeks. Ace had been missing for three days now and this was the first clue we had since the incident. I had sniffed the body and there was no trace of Ace but I insisted the doctor run it through some machines to confirm the identity, and now we awaited the result. I was in a frenzy just being in that space knowing that Ace could be dead or still missing, and both options scared me. A part of me hoped the body would be someone else's, but another part felt that it was better to have his body at hand and perform a proper burial rite th

***"Georgia.." I drawled, trying to get her to unwrap her arms around me. "It's okay now.""Oh, child," she rested her palms on my face, blinking back tears, "I'm going to miss you. Here is not going to be the same without you.""It's not the same without Ace either, that is why I'm doing this. Please don't cry, I'll be back." I assured."Of course," she nodded, pulling on a smile. "I'll try to make sure things are fine around here.""Sure," I nodded, returning her smile. I gave Henry a look and he immediately lowered his gaze, but his emotions were translucent. "I'll see you guys soon."I stepped into the plane and the journey to the Crescent Spring began. In a day, we had managed to complete the plan and gather as many weapons as we could, Henry read the map to me and explained the process to reach Ryker's camp. The atmosphere in the flight was dull, as though serving as a sign that this wouldn't end in my favor. Amy was quiet, I didn't know if she had an intention to stop me f

***His face started to lower towards my neck and Amy began resisting but before I could act, the door was pushed open and Ryker was shoved away from me. I first moved away and fixed my cloth before turning to see Derek holding Ryker against a wall and glaring at him. "What the hell do you think you are doing?!" He screamed in his face. "What?" Ryker grinned, still locked in Derek's grip. "I was just having a little chat with her.""That didn't look like you were talking. How dare you try to mark her? We had a fucking deal! If you violate the contract, I will not sit back and watch you." Derek fumed. "Get your hands off me," Ryker pushed Derek off, adjusting himself. "I'm not following the rules anymore. I have enough to help me get to wherever I want. Not only do I now own the eastern border of the Ocean Howls Pack, your pack is starting to crumble because I am now in possession of your major asset. The two most powerful packs are at the brink of crumbling to the ground. Do you t
The Alpha's Desire For His Abused Mate CHAPTER 71
***Just as I envisioned, Derek didn't back down without a fight. After being kicked out of the Rogue's camp with his henchmen, he returned the next day to battle for possession of me. It was an intense war and Ryker, who expected this attack, prepared with his armies. I wasn't sure if it was the huge difference in the amount of men on both sides, but the Crimson Pack seemed to be losing to the Rogues. Derek didn't have enough armies and from what I heard, his father wouldn't send out anymore to him. It seemed like he had lost faith in his 'precious' son and wouldn't risk the lives of his warriors anymore. The guards at my door, watching me, would talk about the war now and then. That way I was updated about the battle. I also learned that Derek had personally trained the Rogue warriors that Ryker purchased, he taught the tactics and skills of the Crimson Pack and made them as powerful as they became. He probably didn't expect it to come back at him, and he was thrown off guard by

***"You have five minutes," the guard informed me before opening the gate that led to the dungeon. I walked in. "Luna," the warriors from the Ocean Howls Pack rose the moment I stepped in. "Thank goodness you're okay!" The gamma was the first to exclaim. "I thought Ryker did something to you."I turned away for a moment to fight back the tears before turning back to them. It was sad because I couldn't say the same for them. They all looked so unkempt. It had only been a few days since we left the Ocean Howls Pack but they were already looking like shadows of their former selves. I could not begin to imagine the amount of torture they must have gone through to get to this stage and it filled me up with guilt. With so much pain in my heart, I invited them in for a group hug and once again fought back the tears. "What about the Alpha?" One of the warriors' questions, "Did you find out where he is?"I sighed, "Not yet. But I'm still looking.""I heard there is a video," the gamma st

~Ace's POV~***Dumped in a large body of water. Tied hands and feet. Lifeless. My ears caught the faint sound of running water as I sank, unable to help myself. It got louder and louder, and louder. The water ran into my body, every single hole, and the sound got heavier as it happened. My hearing was still sharp and despite my situation, what troubled me most was the sound of running water. I twitched my face, trying to block the sound from my ear. It was disturbing. With every try, the sound got louder and when I felt I couldn't take it anymore, my eyes went open. The blurry sight of a white ceiling first greeted me and I blinked rapidly to clear my vision. Squinting, I gradually grabbed the view and I rolled my eyes to take in my surrounding. Where was I? I felt something heavy resting on my face but for some reason, I couldn't move my body to check what it was. The memories poured into my head, every single detail that led to this moment but their faces were unclear. I hea

-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?"
The Alpha's Desire For His Abused Mate CHAPTER 109
-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
