ScarlettMy heart hammered under my ribcage while my mind rendered me helpless in my own skin. The organ pushed the scenes forward in fast agonizing bits, making me close my eyes tightly. My hands went straight to my belly, a reminder of how the life I harboured had been created. My legs buckled but the alpha held me tightly, saving me from a fall.'Hey. ' I could hear his deep but soft voice calling me from a far, but the ringing in my ears only intensified the more he talked to me. The memory gripped me, paralysed my thoughts, with it bringing a nauseating feeling that I couldn't shake off. I could feel alpha Silas hands roaming over my body, making the contents in my stomach stir. I shakily lifted my hand and grasped my tightening throat. I wanted to stop the burning feeling that bile was leaving behind as it erupted.'Alpha S-ilas. ' I bit the inside of my cheeks as his black eyes with nothingness flashed before my moisture filled ones. My vision tunnelled as if I was using a fish
Alpha Jaxon 'Absolutely not! ' My fists collided with the black oaken table in my office with a bang. Thiery my gamma visibly flinched while Jasper swore under his breath. My father raised his eyebrow, sipping on his scorch unperturbed . They had been trying to talk me out of going after Silas and his pack. They deemed it hasty and careless, unplanned and suicidal. I saw it as an opportunity to end his life and enlarge my packs' territory. 'But alph...' 'That fucker hurt my mate! ' I cut Jasper off, my hands itching to snap his neck. 'The same mate you tortured and refused to believe was yours? ' My father chimed in, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. 'Father. ' My jaw tightened, grinding my teeth together. 'Shit is about to hit the fun. ' Thiery mumbled, his eyes darting across the room. I pinned my glare on him, satisfied when he hang is head, casting his gaze on the floor. 'We are going to burn The Crane Power to the ground and that is final. ' I sank on the swivel chair,
ScarlettI turned on the soft mattress beneath me, biting my lip as pain shot up my spine. The cotton bedsheets were soft on my back but the discomfort was proving quite hard to ignore. I pulled myself up into a sitting position with the support of my elbows. I had to swallow down a wince as the claw marks on my chest burned.One look at the room, I knew I was all alone. My sensitive sense of smell picked up the woodsy scent of alpha Jaxon. It washed down my windpipe, awakening my wolf. She had been asleep, for some reason she felt so weak inside of me. The back of my head throbbed, it seemed to put a lot of tension on my neck.Before I could step out of the bed, the door was pushed open. Alpha Jaxon's eyes settled on me with my legs hanging over the side of bed. One look at him and every single memory came rushing back.The surprise attack by one of his women right inside his bedroom. I remembered the sickening sound of the back of my head, as it connected with the tiled floor after
Alpha Jaxon My heart clenched as she writhed in my arms, her mouth open, letting out indiscernible whimpers. The pack doctor was taking too long and I just couldn't sit there and wait. I raced down the circular wooden staircase, whispering sweet nothings to her. My wolf paced in my mind, he was panicking because he could sense her wolf was slowly slipping into comatose. The scent of her blood grew stronger and stronger, the more it seeped through her sweats. I was scared for her safety and life but on the other hand, I was relieved because she wouldn't end up giving birth to a child created in such a violent manner. Supporting her weight with one arm, I managed to place her on the backseat of my vehicle. My house was far from the rest of the pack estates, isolated and surrounded by woods. I quickly got into the driver's side, all while trying to keep my emotions in check. I was pissed with the doctor, scared for my mate's life, hungry for the blood of Silas and desperate to reach ou
ScarlettMy vision blurred faster than I could blink, with it a dull hammering pain behind my eyelids and forehead taking charge. One moment I could hear the alpha's gasp of disbelief, the next a loud continuous ringing filled my ears. I writhed on the bed, my chest contracting while my throat seemed to close in on me. My actions didn't feel like my own, I had no control over them. It felt as if a cyclone was stirring my thoughts and my feelings, scattering them and mixing them up at the same time.The ache in my heart surged from a dull throb to burning, harrowing pain – faster than greased lightning and as soon as the hurt reached its apex, it was gone, dissipating into nothingness. My wolf was left letting out whimpers, still calling for her companion. I couldn't understand, Jaxon remained still, unaffected by my utterance.'It didn't work. ' Jaxon's voice washed over me, making me snap my hazy eyes to his direction. His usual composed voice was nothing but shaky and broken.'W- wh
Alpha Jaxon'How far are you with the decloaking spell? ' The silence that followed after my question was a sufficient answer, one that I had grown accustomed to.'Nothing's changed. ' Astra sighed, rubbing her wrinkled forehead. The answer had been the same for the last ten years. I had enlisted Astra to look into the ring the moment I turned 18. She was the oldest in the pack, a descendant of powerful warlocks that had been a part of the Yellow Moon Pack since my great grandfather's reign.Years ago, there had been the deadliest war in the history of werewolf community. Packs fought against packs, scrambling for partitioning of land and expansion of territories. Our pack being the smallest one was facing the threat of annihilation. Warlocks remained a neutral party but that changed when the Beta of the pack caught a scent of his mate during training in the woods.Following his instincts, he came across a dying teenager, beaten within an inch of her life by a neighbouring packs' memb
Scarlett'It's the only way I can keep you safe Scarlett. ' Alpha Jaxon insisted. My wolf wagged her tail at the mere imagination of us carrying his mark. I on the other hand didn't like his insistence on marking me. It felt as if he was using the imminent assaults to get his way.'No. ' I shook my head, ignoring the hole that had began to form on my chest. His face dropped, a downward curve of his lips forming briefly. Then it was all gone faster as if I had just imagined it, replaced by a blank look. I placed my hands on his chest, trying to push him off me. The proximity was making it hard for me to think sagaciously. The heat that emanated from his muscular body made my nerves tingle.'My mark will cement our bond, it will be a symbol that you are mine. None of them will dare lay their hands on you.' He sat up, pleading eyes watching my every move.'Yours? ' I raised an eyebrow, leaning on the grey upholstered panel headboard. I was having a hard time keeping eyes off his defined
Alpha Jaxon Divine Intoxicating Mouth-watering The smell of her, hypnotic beyond reason pulled me in like magnet to steel. It induced salivation in my mouth, the need to have her writhing intensifying. Snaking my tongue out, I softly licked around her lower lips, groaning as my dick twitched in my pants. I moved my way around, teasing her, leaving kisses around her clitoral hood. My hand trailed along her thigh, until I cupped her butt cheek in my needy palm. I kneaded the soft flesh while I moved my tongue from her opening, all the way to her hood. A soft whine emanated deep from her throat when I avoided her pulsating clit yet again. There was something about sexually frustrating her that appealed to me. I pulled back, enjoying her flushed face and open mouth as she let out puffs of air. From my position, her clothed boobs appeared bigger everytime her chest rose while she erratically breathed in. 'Please.' She breathed out, leaned on the wall then pushed out her pelvis on the
Third POVTwo Years LaterDraven and Melody heaved consecutive sighs of relief after their twins finally fell asleep. They had tried everything for hours to get Astra Mae Fox and her brother Knox to sleep, including massage, swaying, and singing lullabies. Only when they contacted Scarlett did they get a complete guide, which worked within minutes. Now they had to tiptoe around and make little to no noise, so the twins couldn't wake up."Stubborn babies." Draven whined in a low voice, sleeping on his back on their bed, eyes tightly closed."I almost cried." Melody confessed, making Draven chuckle lightly, before he got a slap on his arm."Lower your voice. If you wake them up, I swear I will run out of this house and leave you alone with them." Melody sternly stated in a low voice, glaring at Draven as she lied beside him."I didn't think putting a baby to sleep would be so haard." Draven exaggerated the word 'hard' making Melody roll her eyes even though she knew so well what he was
Melody Reese"Mmh." Draven swallowed my low moan in the kiss, deepening it and making my heart beat fiercely. His lips were salty sweet, moving against my cold ones, warming them as the intensity increased. It felt like days since we had a true slow kiss without any worry of lurking enemies or evil plans being plotted against us. His fingers combed through my hair, his touch completely pulling me into a pool of desire."Goddess, you taste so good." He rasped against my lips when he pulled away, his eyes roaming over my face."And you look so inviting right now." He added in an evident rasp, using his other hand to swipe a thumb gently over my lower lip. I was at a loss for words, just drinking in his riveting features and wanting more of him."I would have loved to fuck you right here right now, but..." He trailed off."But?" I raised an eyebrow, almost challengingly, as I shifted on the hospital bed."We are in the infirmary, in one of the check-up rooms." He clarified, looking aroun
Draven FoxI couldn't count how many handshakes and condolences I received from my pack members after the ceremony. My mother had whisked Melody away the moment it was all over, leaving me to interact on their behalf, citing that stress wasn't good for Melody. There was still a part of me that didn't want to accept that nana was gone and that it could have been prevented. Had I listened to Melody from the start about not trusting Jones with Mercy, Astra would still be alive."You cannot blame yourself when fate happens." My father's voice invaded my mind, snapping me back to reality. It looked like I had greeted the last few pack members absentmindedly."I am not blaming myself." I replied in a harsh tone, pocketing my hands in my slacks."I know you, son; I can see it written on your face." He insisted.I sighed, "Fine. But can you judge me, though? I was supposed to know something wasn't right with Jones the moment he started conniving against us." I pulled out my hand from my pocke
Melody ReeseDespite every attempt to keep Draven off my mind, the state of his mom, and Jones all together, I still found myself pacing around in the sitting room. My eyes kept darting toward the front door, praying for my mate to push it open. As if the goddess had decided to respond to my prayers instantly, the door knob moved. I halted, folding my hands together as if saying thank you, and looked as the oaken door was pushed open."Draven!" I squealed, running toward him when he finally stepped in, a very large, telling smile gracing his handsome face. He spread his arms, but before I threw myself on him, a scent, even though weaker than his usual masculine one, hit my nostrils. I put on breaks, standing just a few steps from him as my eyes roamed around his body, inspecting him for any injuries."Melody?" His brows shot up, his shoulders rising up in question."Is he..." I trailed off after the realization that it wasn't his blood dawned on me. A relief washed over me as I exhale
Draven FoxAfter cutting the mind link with an overly excited Melody after hearing the news of where Jones was, we spread out. We planned to approach Mercy's home from different directions so that if Jones escaped, we would have extremely high chances of catching him. It was a solid plan, one that we kept just between the three of us, Holden, Mason, and me. I wasn't about to tell my warriors and risk Jones getting wind of it. At that moment, he was an enemy—a dangerous, traitorous one that needed to be tamed."How come Mercy's parents just let him stay there?" Mason asked via the mind link, positioned a few meters north of the two-story house."They are not there. They left the pack the moment they heard what their daughter had done," I answered, crouching low behind tall grass a few steps after the tree line on the back of the house. The lights were off, and except for sounds made by small animals, it was extremely silent. That meant that we had to be extra stealthy; otherwise, Jones
Melody ReeseI threw the covers off and sat up, putting my hands above my head. Time seemed to have stagnated; the howls subsided, and uncomfortable silence reigned. I didn't know how long I had slept, but there was still daylight streaming through the window. My heart was still heavy, and I could feel the puffiness around my eyes without even touching or looking. It was still surreal how so much chaos could take place in just one day.Throwing my legs over the edge of the bed, palms on the mattress, and forearm facing forward, I sat there for a few seconds, finding some bearing. The ache Draven had caused between my legs was still there. My clit was still throbbing, begging to be relieved, but I attempted to ignore that and let my feet finally touch the area rug on the floor."When will this be over?" I talked out loud, heaving a prolonged low sigh as I thought about going downstairs to the kitchen. I was craving cocoa since I hadn't taken it earlier. I couldn't feel Draven's emotion
Draven Fox"Any report?" I asked Holden when I joined him in the search minutes later. My heart constricted at the thought of leaving Melody alone, but it had to be done that way."None; it's like he disappeared into thin air." There must be somewhere he was hiding and something he was using to hide his scent. Without a scent, it was almost impossible to track and locate him."He knows this pack like the back of his hand. He must have a hideout; we just have to figure out where." Holden added when I remained silent. I was trying to come up with a way to smoke him out, but it was proving hard because my mind was a mess with nana's passing and Melody's state."He told me he did it for power." I suddenly said, trying to let my mind cool down."I know; he told me the same. You said I was your favorite, and that's why you chose me to be your beta when you demoted Nova." The tone of his voice didn't change. It remained even, barely depicting an emotion."You don't seem affected." I pressed.
Melody Reese"I can help you catch him." I blurted it out once we got inside the house, after Draven pulled me in while looking around."Absolutely not!" He replied instantly, looking at me as if I had become mad."He wants me; why don't you let him think he can get me?" I insisted, crossing my fingers that he would agree."You are nuts if you think I am letting you out of this compound. Nothing will make me break that spell unless it is Jone's headless body." He stated, throwing me over his shoulder, then began walking towards the stairs."What was that for?" I complained when he slapped my ass, sending shivers down my spine, but I wasn't about to admit that I loved it."For daring to risk your life and our babies." He nonchalantly answered before adding another one that stung but soon was replaced by sparks of pleasure when he began rubbing the spot."But it will work, I know." I argued, biting my lower lip, when he spanked me two times without any pause in between. They were fast a
Draven FoxI stood in nana's backyard, looking at her lifeless body, as my mother cradled her head in her lap. She wasn't crying; no, she was staring at space, rocking back and forth as if her mind was slowly processing everything. Then she began mumbling the healing spell; it was almost as if she was slowly losing her mind without knowing it."Let go, mom." I said in a broken voice, my Adam's apple forcefully bobbing up and down over the lump that had formed."No, no, no." She whispered, then threw her head backwards and, in human form, let out an extremely loud howl that carried with it the pain of losing someone so special to her. Almost after that, dad howled behind me, and the elders that he seemed to have gathered joined him too, and they howled to the moon goddess together.As I listened to them and looked at my nana, it almost felt like I was in a frozen state. My mind was still processing what my eyes were seeing and my ears were hearing. Then, with a slight push inside of me
