Chapter 151.*.*It's been two days since Cora and Cole returned to the wolfdom, but Cora still wouldn't come out of her chamber or even eat, and it was getting Cole really worried.Cole walked down the hallway, heading toward Cora's room that morning. He was determined to break down the door and make her come out if that was what he needed to do to get her outHe hadn't moved far when he saw Max walking in the opposite direction, he stopped when he saw Max walking toward him."Hey" Max said to him to his astonishment."Hi" he responded with a nod. The atmosphere became awkward as they continued to look at each other without speaking then Cole decided to speak."I know it's an eyesore for you to see me hanging around. It's just a matter of time before I'll be out of here and you would be__""Shut up, silly" Max stopped him from speaking as he creased his brows."I know I haven't been a nice person, Cole. And I feel so guilty for the death of my brother, Creed" he lowered his head.Co
EPILOGUECORA CREED BOSTONNEXT DAYIt was a lovely morning that Cole and I decided to visit Hazel's gravestone in the black woods with flowers even if we knew we might face some opposition from the coven.The council had said they would give me and Cole feedback about their decision by noon and by that time, I believe we would be back.I still don't understand why Cole is so optimistic about the outcome of the council meeting, but I just wish I could be as positive as him because our offense was just too much.I've deceived the Pack for months and made a deal with the witches that also threatened the existence of the Pack. And in as much as what I did was for the greater good, it still points me to be a traitor and an enemy of the Pack.Still, I don't understand why Lucas had suggested we take some guards with us, but I had told them we were fine on our own and right now, I and Cole are on our way to the black woods without saying much to each other.Surprisingly, I could still remem
Episode 1*.*The room smelled of blood and sweat as Alpha Creed punched the back exit door twice but it still did not open. He repeated the same process until his fists bled."Easy, Creed. Please, easy!" Cora, his Luna tried to comfort him but he would not listen.Sweat was dripping down his hard, sweaty body, he was very much angry and exhausted as he tried to sink in what was happening to the pack as her words of comfort only sounded disgusting to him.Cora, holding the lantern to illuminate the dark escape room, and was holding it up for him to see what he was doing with the door, walked closer to him but he pushed her away instantly."Take it easy?" He laughed and frowned quickly."Rogues are taking over our pack and the least I could do is run away?!" "What type of alpha does that make me? Imagine what the next generation would think of Alpha Creed!" He barked and stopped when they heard howls and shouts from the fortress."You are bleeding, Creed! And you are not running away,
Episode 2.*.*They enclosed him immediately as he bent and picked a broken trunk on the ground which he used in wiping one rogue. He turned to the other and punched his fingers into its chest, drawing out its heart as another rogue hit him at his back with its paw.Before he could turn to hit it, another rogue clawed at his lap as he fell to the ground with his knees, he started breathing intensely as they circled him.He took a glance at them and saw they were left with just three; he had taken down two, and it seems other rogues were also running toward them.One rogue rose his great paw and was about to land it on his head as he dived and kicked another rogue who went flying against the trees, he turned to the rogue with rage and gave it a great blow, hitting it to the ground as it tested dust and went numb. He turned to the last wolf who started moving backward and he could see the other rogues almost on the battlefield.All he wanted to do was to fight till the last drop of his
Episode 3.*.*Cora was done crying as she separated her Alpha from the rest of the rogues, by yanking his lifeless body deep into the woods. The sky was clearing up and she could almost see in the dark. She huddled some arid logs which she arranged around and on top of Creed's frigid corpse. She walked back to where the deceased bodies of the rogues were, took three wooden fire torches, and withdrew to where Creed was. "Goodbye, Creed" she threw the fire on the logs and watched it burn up. In a few minutes, the entire body was on fire as a drop of tear rolled from her eyes but she was fast enough to dab it off.The corpse was still burning down as she covered her hoodie and dashed out into the woods.She had no motive for going back to Mountain Howl Pack as she knew not who the Traitor or Traitors were. Being very troubled, she started thinking quickly as time was ticking. Eventually, they would require the Alpha and if he does not show up, a new Alpha would be crowned, and it mi
Chapter 4.*.*Even if Max was her brother-in-law, both of them don't have a good rapport, and Creed has always been the middleman to settle disputes."The Alpha__" she hesitated and mulled over if she should go on with the scheme. She has already told them he was alive and can't go back anymore."She can't say. I doubt the alpha is truly alive, according to her, he was jabbed with a silver blade and I have not come across a wolf that survives the wrath of the silver" Max said."We have gone through a lot, Cora, stop messing with our minds and let us grieve my brother in peace""Creed is alive, and he is with the witches!" She eventually let the lie out as they all wheezed in shock."What?""The witches?""Impossible!""That's insane""I've always been skeptical about Cora, but taking the Alpha to the Black Forests which is strictly forbidden is the heights of it all!" Max howled."I had no choice!" Cora stood up from the seat and growled with a fragile voice. She was still languishi
Chapter 5.*.*Master Arcade waited until it was dark enough as he dashed out of the fortress, walking in the shadows, deep into the woods.The night was young, cold, and dark, the moon was nowhere to be seen as he stopped at regular intervals, dodging the pack members that were going into the fortress.After the invasion from the rogues, Max had suggested some members of the pack be under surveillance at the night.Master wore that same black cloak and gloves he wore the day he killed the alpha.His heart was heavy, he thought everything had fallen into place, but the presence of the Luna has ruined it all.He got to the hideout of the rogues which is a big cave. The rogues at the mouth of the cave observed him, when they saw it was just him, they let him in.He took a wooden fire torch from its stand and walked deep into the cave until he got to a clear opening where other rogues were."I expect good news, Master Arcade!" He heard a familiar voice at his back and turned to face him.
Chapter 6.*.*"Why should I trust you, Luna?" Azura's proclamation made Cora furrow her brows in astonishment."I just took an oath by the name of the moon goddess. Why would you think a wolf species would joke with her sacred name?" Cora questioned as Azura motioned her to stand up in her kneeling position and she did, dusting off the dust from her knees."Don't blame me, Cora. The wolves are sly creatures" "At least not at the expense of the moon goddess's name""Let's get back to business, Cora. You would really do what I want if I help you?" "That's correct. That is if you could help me" Cora affirmed."There is nothing Azura can not do. But the issue is that I have trust issues. I have gone through a lot in the past and wouldn't want history to repeat itself" She looked elsewhere as Cora sighed.If she really wanted the witches to help her, she has to earn their trust."I will give you a top secret that would put the entire wolfdom in chaos if let out. If I do not do my own s
