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
Chapter 94.*.*"I knew it would result in this" he kept on that grim look on his face""The witches have always been spiteful and vengeful creatures since they were banished from Mountain Howl.""I have dealt with them for ages and know how cunny they could be. That was why I was hell-bent on not lifting their banishment from our lands" he stopped right in front of her and scowled."Even as we are letting" just three sisters" as you referred to it, into our lands, we can never be more careful" he spoke."One vengeful witch is as deadly as a coven of them. But it would be easier to watch just three sisters, rather than monitoring a hive of them" he added and lifted his weight from where he stood, moving away from her while she kept her gaze fixed on him."Letting Azura into our pack is likened to letting the enemies that we built a fortress against, right into the fortress, inviting them to wine and dine with us."Cora needed no one to explain Lucas's words of wisdom to her because th
Chapter 95.*.*She took a few long but slow slides into the library and walked to where he was standing, looking at her and rubbing her palms against each other to keep warm."Don't worry. What I am deciphering is not an urgent task" he adjusted his glasses again and Kira felt they were too big for his eyes."Would you like to have a seat?" He questioned."Oh, no. That wouldn't be necessary" she faked a smile as he nodded."So, what would you like to know then?" He asked, looking seriously at her while she studied him.He hesitated, as if thinking over what she wanted to ask, but all she wanted was to get Gregor piqued. "It has to do with Blue Haven pack," she said, avoiding looking at the short man. She felt pity for him as he always had to look up at her as she was way taller. She wondered if his back doesn't ache him at all.As if he was reading her thought, he sighed and walked to the tall stool. Then he climbed on the mini staircase that was attached to it and sat down.He look
Chapter 96.*.*Claudia sat still in the back passenger's seat, scrolling through some stuff on her phone when the cabby drove and stopped, then he turned off the engine of the car.Claudia looked up at him and wondered what was wrong, so she leaned forward in the cab, while the driver say motionless."Why did you stop right here? Are you out of petrol?" She questioned, looking at the place.There was no sign of life and all she could see were tall trees and dry land."This is the outskirts of the town. If you want to locate where you are going, you have to use foot from here. Cars don't go more than this from here" he said while she watched him from the mirror as he spoke."Seriously?" She frowned and dipped her right hand into her leather jacket pocket and brought out a wallet.Looking past the almost dead wound she acquired at Cole's apartment, she dipped her fingers into the wallet and came out with some cash which she handed to the driver who took them from her grip."Keep the ch
Chapter 97.*.*He frowned instantly while she stepped into the room, looking at the machine guns, and various bullets, darts, and weapons she had never seen in her entire life.Her eyes moved to the masks, armors, and different boots that were hung on the wall and she wondered if she was dreaming.There were chains, and shackles of various kinds, and sizes hanging on the wall. And the walls of the room had that same tattoo she had just seen on his body, with some blood stains, smeared on the wall.Then her eyes shifted to the tattoos on his body and when he saw she was staring at his tattoo, he quickly wore his clothes and walked up to her."Come on, we have to leave. You are not supposed to see this" he said and walked up to her, grabbing her left arm with such great strength. Which made her wonder where he got the strength from because he was way too strong for his age."What is that? Is that an armory?" She questioned swiftly. But he ignored her and just dragged her outside the ro
Chapter 98.*.*She kept gaping at him in bewilderment while he stared back at her. She closed her mouth and bat her lashes when she realized she was staring too much at him."Oh well, you seem to know much about the wolves indeed," she said, blinking her eyes and looking at the floor, then she rose her head to look up at him. He was washing the chopped potatoes and placing them in a pot.She said nothing as silence transpired between them and the only sound that could be heard was the sound he made as he washed the potatoes in the bowl of water and the chirping birds outside."Those weapons in that room..." She began and stopped when he continued what he was doing."Were they some sort of__" he turned to look at her with a frown on his face."Are you a hunter?" He questioned."Isn't it obvious that I hunt games?" He shrugged."No..." She creased her brows at him."Not just games..." She added."But wolves" he sharply looked up at her."You are being delusional" he stopped washing the
Chapter 99.*.*"I will walk Azura and discuss the process of the initiation with her. And in that process, I will show her her chamber" Lucas said sternly, looking at Azura who just smiled at him."That is so nice of you, Lucas" she smirked and spread her arms to him which he took in his and they started walking out of the hall with the rest watching them leave."Aden and Bryan, please show the sisters to their room" Cohen spoke."Oh no, that wouldn't be necessary," Hazel spoke quickly as they averted their gazes at her.By this time, Cole had let go of Cora as his hands are behind his back now while Core kept giving Hazel hateful looks."I would rather have a tour of this mighty and beautiful fortress." She added with a smile."If my sister is shown our room, it would be a lot easier for me to locate it" she finished, with her gaze fixed on Cole who was looking at Cora."Very well, then" Cora spoke with her head held high and Nora still couldn't understand what was wrong with her si
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
