Chapter 86.*.*The look on Bryan's face made Lucas know it was something confidential. So he just nodded and patted Bryan on the shoulder, nodding in the direction he wanted them to follow.Bryan understood and began to walk with Lucas without saying a word. They walked until they got to Lucas's chamber, where he locked the door after them.Then he turned to look at Bryan, who was staring at the floor."You want a drink, Bryan?" Lucas asked and started striding to the wine cabinet."Oh no, Gamma Lucas," he said nervously when Lucas was halfway through to the wine cabinet.Lucas paused and turned to look at Bryan, who was still staring at the floor. He didn't know how to feel. Having a drink with the pack commander was way too much for him to take."All right, Bryan. Sit down," Lucas said and pointed to a wooden chair.With a nod, Bryan walked hastily and occupied the seat while Lucas took the one next to him.There was a brief silence between them while Bryan kept his brow creased.
Chapter 87.*.*"Well," Azura began."For a start, it went well," she added and looked elsewhere while her sisters fixed their gazes on her. They were not satisfied with her explanation."They've agreed to make me the pack's beta and the date for the initiation would be fixed and they would notify us," she said and Nora took in a deep breath and nodded.But Hazel was not interested in Azura's achievement."And what about the second choice? What did they say about removing the law of banishment of the witches from Mountain Howl?" She questioned."They refused, Hazel. They wouldn't remove the banishment but__""What? That is because they had granted the first stupid request you made already!" Hazel barked without thinking."Would you just let me finish what I was saying?" Azura returned with raised brows."Here we go again," Nora sighed, not ready to separate another fight."And the request I made was for the benefit of the coven. Not just for my selfish interest. And if everything goes
Chapter 88.*.*TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT CONTAINS A SEX SCENE. She lay face up on the bed with all eagerness, waiting and anticipating his touch while he hovered over her.He placed his hands on the bed, next to her head to raise his weight with his knees pinned to her bed as he began to kiss her lips softly.She wrapped her arms around his neck and grabbed his waist with her legs."Careful! The cubs," Cole had to say because of the swift movement of Cora."They are fine, Cole," she giggled and held on to him tightly as he kissed her cheeks before kissing her lips.He knelt erect and helped her take off her shirt, leaving just her pair of pants. She stared at his face as he took his time to take in her beautiful glistening white skin with round, full b***sts, and erected nipples."Oh my gosh, Cora! You are so beautiful!" He looked at her body lustfully while she smiled at him.He had always pictured this moment when he would have her again. Day and Night, he was always thinking about
Chapter 89.*.*It was past midnight and the fortress was quiet. Bryan had tried severally to drift to sleep, but the image of whom he had seen, going Into that hall that Cora had just walked out from kept clouding his memory.The window was narrowly open, but enough for him to see the tall trees and the black sky from where he laid face up on the bed with his hands on his bare chest.A small lamp dimly illuminated the room and two wooden chairs could be seen standing next to each other with a small situated at their front.Letting out a sigh, he frowned and sat up on his bed, grabbed his shirt from the pillow side, and wore it.He stood up and began pacing up and down the room when his ear began to twitch.He halted instantly and waited if he could hear the sound he had heard before. Then the sound became clear when he focused and concentrated.He could hear light footfalls from a distance. Whoever the person was, he or she was moving as quietly as they could because he could faintl
Chapter 90.*.*If Bryan had looked out of the window carefully, he would have seen Arcade, tearing deep into the woods as he rushed to take cover before Bryan would spot him running in the dark.When Arcade was sure he was out of sight from the window, he stopped running and rested his back on the tree, breathing heavily and panting.He dropped to the ground and spread his legs apart. Taking off his hoodie, he sighed and reflected on how he had been quick enough to use Bryan's room as an escape route.After a few moments of rest, he stood up, knowing it was late and time was against him.He is going to visit Nile in the cave. Tonight was the day he found the most difficult to leave the fortress. He concluded he had to be extra careful as the pack was not as loose as it was when the alpha was absent.After the long reflection, he stood up from his crouching position and placed the hoodie back on his head. He made sure the silver dagger and the wolf weapon were still in their position
Chapter 91.*.*He didn't know what made her change her countenance, but he didn't like it.He vowed to make her fall for him and be happy always, not to make her sad as she was feeling right now."Is anything the matter, Cora?" He asked as she shifted her gaze from him and looked elsewhere while he just stood there, staring at her."Cole" she called softly as his ears twitched."I know I told you Creed always call me Cory" she paused and turned to look at him and saw he was just staring at her, with his face expressionless and she could tell his thoughts were in chaos."But could you please call me what you wish to call me without minding what I said earlier?" She questioned as he sighed.His blank expression changed to that of worry and pure affection for her. He walked up to her on the bed and sat next to her, shifting inside so he could touch her.He removed the strand of tangled hair from her face while locking his gaze on her."I think calling you Cory is fine by me. I like it.
Chapter 92.*.*"Alpha Creed" Kira mumbled with her head bowed.Cole had forgotten her name again, so he didn't bother to address her by her name or anything, he just pretended to be in a hurry."Rise" He stated while she rose her head and let it fall on his chest, not wanting to look him in the face.He nodded and walked away, placing his both hands behind his back as he sauntered through the hallway.Kira turned to look at him as he strolled away until he was finally out of sight. That was when she sighed and turned to face the door.She pushed through the slightly opened door and walked into the room. Then she swiftly turned to close it back.Cora was watching her all this while with a big smile spread across her face.When Kira finally turned to face the bed, she froze at the spot with the towels, dropping from her grip.Cora sitting on the bed smiled at her and beckoned her to come closer. Kira blinked her eyes and tried to bat her lashes and pull out of the shock she just met. T
Chapter 93.*.*Cora had finished taking her bath and was walking down the passageway with Gamma Lucas at her side.They nodded and greeted the servants that stopped to bow at them now and then as they continued strolling down the hallway."How are the preparations coming?" She asked the heavily built bearded man who said nothing, neither did he spare her a look but just continued walking with both hands behind his back.She knew Lucas as a man who always takes his time before speaking. That is after analyzing what he had to say in his thoughts and whenever he spoke, he spoke with wisdom."It's coming on good. And quite fast too" his baritone voice boomed in her ears as they both came to a halt. Then he turned to look at her while she looked right back at him."Azura's initiation ceremony is fast approaching. And after that, a feast would be made on her behalf" he said with a tight chin as she frowned."On her behalf? That would only make the news spread beyond the woods of Mountian H
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
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
Chapter 150.*.*Boston sighed and took in a deep breath and by this time, tears were all over Cora's face."That was how I found out the figure that had visited me was the moon goddess herself" he went on to explain."What about the pregnancy, what did you both do about it?" Cole asked."Nala told me the moon goddess has already told Alpha Rex about the pregnancy and he was to keep shut about it. But Nala was scared she might give birth to a human baby" Cora blinked her eyes when she heard that as she was in the same shoes. But she didn't allow the men to see the look of uneasiness on her face."But the moon goddess was ready for anything" Boston continued."No one was to know the pregnancy does not belong to Alpha Rex and it was a secret between me, Alpha Rex, Nala, and the moon goddess" "And the moon goddess didn't wipe off my memory about the wolfdom because she was prepared for anything. She wanted the baby to be returned to me if it turns out to be human. And the Pack was to b
Chapter 149*.*The trio finished having breakfast and lunch in the sitting room. Cole was clearing the table right now while Boston was wiping his mouth with a tablecloth."The food is satisfying, even if it isn't__""What? Delicious?" Cole asked and Boston grinned."I didn't say that, you did" he replied and Cora couldn't help laughing.When the table was cleared, they sat around the table and waited for Boston to finish picking his teeth so he could continue the story. And when he eventually stopped, he took in a long deep breath and rested his back on the chair, then continued the narrative."Sorry... Being old is something tough. When you get to my age, you would understand what I am talking about" he chuckled."If you are going to ask where you left off in the story, then it's where you said the moon goddess visited you" Cole said, resting his elbows on the table."Thank you, Cole" he returned."Do you mean you saw the moon goddess? I don't think anyone has ever seen her" Cora h
Chapter 148.*.*Boston shrugged and turned to face elsewhere while Cora and Cole remained speechless for a while."Okay... I would have felt the same way she felt" Cora nodded her head repeatedly."Why didn't you tell her what you were?" Cole questioned his father."I didn't know I would fall in love with her that deeply!" "The plan was not to fall in love. It was to stay with her until she finish taking care of my injured leg while feeding me so I wouldn't die of starvation" he stopped to catch his breath."But you know the heart, it does stupid things even if you try to tame it" he finished with a bleak expression on his face.He was about to open his mouth and speak again when his stomach grumbled for food, making Cora and Cole's stomachs grumble too."I guess I have been talking for way too long" he breathed out."I'll make hazelnut soup and potatoes" Cole stood up."I'll help you out" Cora slowly stood up too.Cole handed the locket pendant to his father who took it from his gr
Chapter 147*.*"Wait... Hold on a second" Cole interrupted him as they turned to look at him."How were you able to have sex with her with the necklace around your neck? Didn't it by any chance...""Burn her?" Boston completed the sentence for him and he nodded, recalling how he had had to toss the necklace away when he was about to have sex with Cora at the fortress."Well, Cole" he began."I never take off my clothes anytime we are doing it" he shrugged."Funny""Why? You were scared of the necklace touching her or her finding out?" Cora asked this time."Not really. I was scared of her seeing my tattoo of the armory and making her ask questions I couldn't explain" he said."That would have been awkward. Didn't she ask questions?" Cole asked."She did"FLASHBACKBoston and Nala were on the bed, kissing, smooching, and in a heated romance while she unlocked their lips and peered deeply into his eyes."What is it?" He asked when she had looked at him far too long."I don't know... Bu
Chapter 146.*.*She continued to yell at him while he stared at her frightened."This is my place and whatever I say, stands! I don't care to know if you are some sort of runaway alpha, beta, gamma, delta, omega, or even rogue! You just have to listen to me!" "I could have left you there to die with that injury on your leg but I didn't. I saved you and brought you in here, but you don't trust me?" She rolled her eyes and gave a hysterical laugh while he didn't understand what was wrong with her that was getting her suddenly heated up."I should be scared of you and take precautions because I do not know if you were some sort of assassin or not! But I wasn't! I saw you needed help and helped you, but what did you do in return?!" She frowned."You're ignoring my questions as if I am some sort of dangerous wolf when I am nothing but a harmless sweet girl!" Her eyes glowed instantly and he felt he saw his life, flashing before his eyes.He saw furs growing on her skin while her fangs sp
Chapter 145.*.*She kept an awkward look on her face as she looked down at the man laying flat, face up in the hole."Hello?" She called but was greeted by silence."Can you hear me? Are you okay down there?" She called again but he was too weak to speak.All he wanted to do was ask her to go get help or anything. It would be better if she could find her way to the cottage and get the guys. But he was too weak to speak, so he just lay there, looking up and feeling dizzy with the sun dancing on his skin and tormenting his eyes."Hold on!! I am coming down to get you!" She said and stood erect, then she looked down carefully and figured where she was going to land, and to his dismay, she jumped right into the hole close to him, on her back."Ohh!" She grunted and remained that way while she waited for the pain to subside."Stupid girl! You should have gone to get help instead of jumping in! Who's gonna help us now" he said in his head as his visions began to get blurry and his hearing
Chapter 144.*.*The story kept on developing and becoming more captivating that Cora was gradually getting the answers to why most of the things happened which she had no explanation for."Before Anastasia left, she told Ethan they would find a way to stall the wolves so they wouldn't have to attack when we weren't ready" "Ethan related to us all she had discussed with her and how she would be our greatest ally if things go according to plan" Boston grinned."Did she come through?" Cora asked."She did" "After three days, she returned to the cottage at night with something she called 'Wolfsbane' that she was not sure if it would work but we could give it a trial" Boston mumbled."To build our trust for her. She asked us not to give her our secret weapon until we have tasted and made sure the wolfsbane does work" he exhaled sharply."And what happened when you tasted the wolfsbane?" Cole asked."It worked, but it wears off after a while."FLASHBACKEthan and Anastasia stood right ou
