LUCY The weight of secrets and loyalty tugged in my heart and the memory of Nathan's words echoed in my mind. Nathan had expressed his thoughts and concerns about the path I was treading, reminding me of the consequences I would bring upon myself.I paced outside my hut in the woods as I pondered on what to do next. My gaze shifted to the woods where the rustling sound of leaves caught my attention. Two figures emerged from behind the bushes, Cade's special guards. I knew they had been watching me for days and had followed me wherever I went. My jaws clenched, my frustration simmering just below the surface. "What do you want from me?" I questioned. "You tell me, you slimy bitch!" one of them said, charging forward toward me.I scoffed. "I bet Cade didn't tell you what happened to the other guards he sent to trail me. You should go and ask him before you do anything you might regret," I said."We are only following orders, Lucy. Cade wants to ensure the safety of the pack." the sec
LUCYChris' encouragement made me feel a little bit more at ease. I took another half inch of his dick into my mouth, then pulled up to its tip. I started to get into a bobbing motion, able to take a little bit more of Chris’ cock into my mouth each time, until I maxed out at a little more than half of his length. I blew him slowly, drawing out my motions as my lips slid along all sides of his cock as I bobbed up and down."I'm about to cum..." Chris groaned.I momentarily popped his dick out of my mouth to ask, “Which is better for you? Do you want me to jack you off as you cum or do you want me to leave it in so you can cum in my mouth?”“Leave it in,” Chris answered immediately.I resumed the blowjob with a new sense of purpose. I was about to make him cum. I had to make this good. She looked up at Chris and made eye contact as I sucked him. His face was scrunching up a bit, and his mouth was hanging open. He rested his hand on the back of my head and loosely grabbed my hair.“Alri
CHRIS Days turned into weeks, and I found solace in Lucy's presence. The moments we shared gave me peace from the weight of my impending fate, a reminder that amidst the darkness, there was light to be found. My relationship with Lucy had grown into something profound, a love that knew no bounds and a source of stability that strengthened my determination.The moonlight found us in secluded corners of my pack's territory, our conversations intimate and our bond unbreakable. I admired Lucy a lot, her determination and loyalty to her course were immeasurable despite the challenges she faced. I had come to rely on her inspiration, a reminder that love and unity could conquer even the most threatening circumstances.As we lay together in bed one evening, the rustling of leaves in the air, her gaze held a mixture of curiosity and concern. "Chris, what about the investigation into my father's allegations? You said you would find the truth about it, Any progress?" she asked.I sighed, the w
LUCY I stood at the entrance of my hut, watching the moon cast its ethereal glow over the territory, my thoughts a storm of conflicting emotions. Ever since I returned from my meeting with Chris, my mother had insisted on meeting him. According to her, he was the one who had ignited a fire within my heart and had sent ripples of uncertainty through me. She wasn't far from the truth, I felt butterflies in my belly whenever I was with Chris and whenever the thought of him crossed my mind.Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a familiar voice behind me which broke through the stillness. "Lucy."I turned to see my mother behind, her expression filled with concern. The light from the moon illuminated the worry lines on her face."Mother," I greeted, my voice tinged with uncertainty. Her gaze held a soft understanding as she placed a hand on my shoulder. "I know you're hesitant about what we discussed earlier. But meeting Chris is important to me, you can't keep him hidden forever."My
CHRIS Days had gone by and the relentless rhythm of training consume me. Each day came with its own challenges, a new skill to master and the urge to become more stronger if I wanted to protect myself, my pack and those I love. This determination fueled my every move, pushing me forward in pursuit of strength.During this moments, I found solitude in the ambiance of my treehouse where I shared sweet moments with my mate, Lucy. But of recent, this place with held our good memories had become as quiet as a graveyard. Lucy's sudden absence weighed heavily on me, a shadow of uncertainty that refused to fade. I knew something had chanwged between us, I couldn't shake this feeling off. He distance left me with a gnawing worry, unanswered questions echoing in my mind like a haunting chorus. I understood that the situations surrounding her pack needed urgent attention, but a part of me longer for her warmth, her presence and her beautiful smile that gave me all the assurance I needed.As th
LUCY After I had written that letter to Chris, my heart weighed heavily for days. Tears had been my companion for days, the uncertainty of my father's actions, and the consequences of my emotions consuming me. The conflict within my soul echoed in the solitude of my hut, each moment feeling like a battle. Days went by, determination took hold of me. I couldn't bear the weight if my doubts any longer, I needed answers even if it would shatter the bond I had with Chris. I set out early one morning to Cade's chambers ..As I sought Cade, I heart welled up in determination as I approached him with a sense of resolve. "Cade," I called out, my voice steady and my gaze unflinching. "I need to know about my father and his involvement is Alpha Chris' father's death.""Lucy, it's not a simple matter," he said, his gaze meeting mine, his eyes held something that I couldn't decipher. My jaw tightened in anxiousness, but my resolve unwavering. "Cade, tell me what I need to know. I need to know
CHRIS Restless days turned into anxious nights as Lucy's absence continued to gnaw at my mind. My thoughts were filled with worry and I found it difficult to focus on anything else than the haunting question of where she could be. The weight of uncertainty pressed upon me with each passing moment. And I knew I had to take action. Determined to find her, I sought out my Beta, Glen, to help me. He was the only one who could help me without creating any suspicion within the pack. My voice was firm as I issued the command. "Glen, I need your help. I need you to find Lucy, she's been absent for too long and I'm worried about her safety." Glen's expression mirrored my concerns. "When was the last time you saw her?""A few days now. It's unlike her to be absent for this long, I'm worried that something must have happened to her," I said, my voice laced with emotions. "You have nothing to worry about, I'll do everything I can to find her," he said with a reassuring smile. Hours turned i
CHRIS The days had stretched into an agonizing expanse of time, each day marked with the absence of Lucy. I had followed Kayla’s advice on letting her seek the truth she desired while I channeled my worries into my responsibilities as the pack’s leader. Yet, the anxious feeling of concern for Lucy’s safety remained a constant presence in my mind.I went on with my daily training to get her off my mind, I took up major responsibilities around the pack but they weren’t helpful. No matter what I did, she remained in my mind.One sunny afternoon, as the sun bathed the pack in a warm glow, I found myself wandering the pack’s territory. The rustle of leaves and distant sounds of nature offered a momentary peace from my thoughts. But my solitude was interrupted by the voice of my Beta, Glen, breaking through the stillness.“Alpha,” Glen called out to me, his voice held a note of urgency. “Lucy is outside the pack’s territory. She’s been waiting for you.”“Did you say, Lucy?” I said, my hear
LUCYFew days had passed since Lothar was killed. Normalcy returned in the pack and everything seemed to be going peacefully. With Lothar's tyranny finally vanquished, the pack could begin to heal from the wounds of betrayal and deceit. My mother had returned to the pack after much persuasion from I and Chris. Though she preferred to be away from the pack considering how they had treated her and my father in the past. Her eyes filled up with tears as she recalled the past events. "You did it, Lucy. You brought us back home," my mother said, her tears flowing freely down her cheek."No, mother. We did. Without you, I wouldn't have had the courage to fight back," I said, my voice shaky as I fought the tears. Chris' mother approached us, her expression pained as she apologised for the sins of her family. "I'm greatly sorry, Lucy, for all that my family put you through. We should have done better in finding the truth.""None of this is your fault, anyone would do the same if they wer
CHRISI, Chris Parker, the vibrant leader and alpha of the hallowed manes pack was now subjected to a life of misery. My guards who were once my loyal subordinates were now against me, torturing the hell out of me.I endured the torment of the dungeon with only one motive in mind, vengeance. The pain of the wolfsbane coursing my veins only served as fuel to my determination. I gritted my teeth in agony as the wolfsbane began to take its toll on me. But I refused to give my captors the satisfaction of seeing my falter.After much torture, Lothar decided to pay me a visit. The scorn on his face infuriated me, causing me to curse under my breath. "You look a mess, Chris. I didn't reckon that my boys would be this harsh to their Alpha," he mocked."You bloody traitor. I should give it to you. You played your game so well, betraying both father and son," I said."Oh please don't flatter me. I was just one step ahead of you folks in everything. You know, I wasn't originally from here. Yo
CHRISAs I got close to Lothar's quarters, I had my doubts about telling him what Cade had told me. It was top secret and should remain the same until I was sure of who to trust. Not that I didn't trust Lothar in any way, as a matter of fact, I did. I trusted Lothar not because he had stood by me but because he was my father's beta and best friend. But things at the pack were getting overboard and I didn't know what to do.Since Lucy had suggested that I told him, why shouldn't I? I arrived at his door and found it unusually open. So unlike Lothar, I must say, he kept to himself most times and kept his door shut at all times. I peeped into the dark room and found a shirtless figure standing in the room, his chest was bare and his muscles were taut in tension. At first, I couldn't tell if it was Lothar or someone else."Lothar," I said, my voice filled with uncertainty.The shirtless man turned and it turned out to be Lothar as I expected. "You're finally here," he said. I didn't u
LUCY"Cade," I muttered. My body was covered in his blood as I tried to stop the bleeding. Cade whimpered and pleaded for forgiveness, but it was too late for that. All I needed was the name of whoever did this. Cade tried to speak but I couldn't figure out what he was saying. "He's here," that was all I heard. His bloodied hand pointed to something ahead of us. I raised my head to see who it was but his face wasn't clear enough. "Looking for me?" the man sneered. Before I could say anything or do anything, he struck me with his sword.My eyes fluttered open, the remnant of the nightmare still clinging in my head like a cobweb. I glanced around the dimly lit chamber, my heart pounding heavily against my ribs as I tried to shake off the fear. "Chris," I called out after I realized that he wasn't beside me. There was no answer and my unease deepened. Where could he be? I recalled that he had gone to see Lothar to further discuss ways of catching the murderer, but I didn't realize
CHRISFrom the moment Cade's lifeless body was found in the dungeon, I had a deep suspicion that one of the elders was involved in this mischief. "Get me Orvyn," I demanded.I sat in the courtroom, grappling with the weight of the recent events, my mind churned with suspicion and great uncertainty. "Are you sure of what you're doing?" Lucy asked. "Are you sure Orvyn is the killer?""I'm certain he's responsible for all that has happened so far," I said.I recalled the night, the pack had been attacked under Cade's lead, how the guards at the gate had been rendered unconscious. One of the guards had informed me that Orvyn had offered them drinks before they had succumbed to unconsciousness. It was a revelation that had fueled my suspicions.The guards securing the dungeon had also been poisoned which made me believe that he had a hand in Cade's death. He probably was hiding something and feared that Cade would reveal the truth.Orvyn was led to the courtroom, bound with hands and fee
CADEMy stay in the dungeon had taught me a lot of lessons I wished I had known long ago. My envy and greed had made me lose the people I valued most, friends and family. "I know you hate me because of the throne, but I need you to know that I wouldn't be taking your place if it hadn't been assigned to me to do so," my younger brother said.I scoffed. "Save me the details, I know you are more than glad to be stealing my position as alpha of this pack. I knew Father had always chosen you over me but that will never happen. The throne is mine and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it."On the day of his coronation, I watched in envy as my brother took my place as alpha. I wished I could strangle him where he stood with the rest of the elders. I hated my father and brother so much that I rarely spent time in the palace. Rather, I built another pack of my own far from the pack, a rogue pack in my name where I could be alpha. I recruited many rogues and formed an army of my
CHRIS "Your father's killer is somewhere in this palace, waiting for the right time to strike."Who was the killer? I spent most of my time convincing Cade to spill the truth to me but he kept beating around the bush. I was beginning to doubt that he knew anything about my father's death. Maybe he could be the killer like Lucy said and was trying to trick me into believing him." I know you have your doubts, Chris, but I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill your father," Cade had said."If you didn't then why did you elope from the palace after his death?" I asked."I had to else I would be blamed for his death. As for Lucy's father, he was set up by the killer. He walked into your father's chambers right in time to be caught by the guards. He was framed by the killer who was close to both your father and Lucy's father," Cade explained."Why should I believe you? You tried to kill me before," "You don't have to believe me and yes, I did try to kill you. The throne had always been my p
LUCYThe thought that Chris could be in danger bothered me for days. After my encounter with the old lady in the woods, I couldn't keep her warnings off my head. How could I return to a place where I wasn’t welcomed? I could be in danger if I returned to the hallowed manes pack and Chris too could lose his position as alpha if I showed up again at the pack. But his life was in danger and going back was the only option I had. “What seems to bother you, Lucy? You’ve been lost in thought for a while now,” my mother said in a worried tone.I didn’t want to bother her with my issues. I had promised her that I would stay away from the hallowed manes until it was right for me to return there. “Nothing is wrong, mother. I just miss the good old days at the rogue pack,” I lied.My mother sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I miss those days too, I miss those happy days. But it’s good we are here, we get to forget all of the sad memories and create happy memories for ourselves.”I nodded.
CHRISI couldn’t get Cade’s words out of my head, the more I thought of it, the more it sent hot chills down my spine. Could what he had said be the truth? Could it be that Cade, the man I had always seen as my enemy, actually be innocent of my father’s murder?I stood before Cade in the dungeon not knowing what to do, my heart pounding heavily on my chest as I sought answers from him. “What do you know about the man that killed my father?” I demanded.“I already told you all that you need to know,” Cade said, his words leaving me in a state of confusion. “You haven’t said anything to salvage the situation. Who is responsible for my father’s death?” I asked. “That’s for you to find out, Chris. I have done my part,” Cade insisted. I pondered on his words. Why was he keeping the truth from me? Was it one of the elders?Cade sighed. “I know you suspect the elders 'cause they are in league with me. Yes, they have always supported my course from the get-go but they are not smart enough
