Jace gazed at me as if I was the last person he expected to see, which honestly, I didn't blame him for. But what's done is done, and right now, we had other problems to take care of. I was able to free Jace, but I was quick to dodge as Curtis charged at me with a metal rod and tried to swing it at my head. I snarled, but he swung again, nearly hitting my flank. Ruby was doing her best, keeping us sharp and light on our feet, but even she had her limits and we wouldn't be able to keep this pace very long.
JACE! I NEED HELP! I called over the link, but he seemed to be in too much pain, as I noticed he was struggling to stand and couldn't respond.
Desperate, I kept dodging Curtis' attacks until he accidentally lodged his weapon into a nearby tree. I took the opportunity and quickly ran back to Jace and transformed, forcing myself to ignore my embarrassing lack of clothes as I helped him onto his feet. Just by the smell of his wound, I could

After an attack on their home territory, the Selene pack was forced to seek shelter into foreign lands. Jace, in the journey to retrieve his title, struggles to control his Wolf after a mysterious outburst, only to lose all control at an elf village, reeking havoc on his path. Ava, former Omega, fights for the respect of her mate, but finds it difficult to live up to everyone's expectations at a time she is needed most. Now separated, Jace and Ava must reunite with their packmates as a mysterious group of hunters track them down, and uncover secrets of their past. -*- HELLO READERS! WELCOME to part 2 of TAO:Cursed Souls and Lost Heirs.
An hour had passed since the girl left in a storm to hunt and I still couldn't shake her words out of my mind. Either the burn on my side was really getting to my head or I had gotten soft... But I felt pity for her. Out of all people, I, Jace Weston, Alpha of the... well, you get it, but... I was actually pitying the Omega. I just couldn't help it. Even my Wolf, who had finally decided to show up, was whimpering at the thought of his mate getting hurt. Well, seeing her sad. I never thought she had it THAT rough. I was told they were purposely promiscuous, since it was their way of feeling alive, equal to others. But this girl had to hide and listen to her mother getting... I can't even think of it. On top of that, they were robbed almost weekly of their goods? If that's how the Omega lives, no wonder she's been so scared of everything! She's... she's never learned to live like a Wolf. She never learnt how to be part of a Pack. I scoffed. At least now
I scurried over to the bathroom, and closed the door behind me. I was going to look for some medical supplies but I first needed to calm down. My heart was racing through my chest and I was almost out of breath from the heat of the moment. I could feel Ruby yearn for her mate, calling out to him and asking for more. I on the other hand, I was trying to stay in control and fight the sudden urge to rip his clothes off and... uhm... yeah. No need to explain any further. Honestly, it kind of scared me. I never had any desire towards any guys before and... I don't even wanna think about it. Besides, there's no way he'd allow me to do anything like that, even if I wasn't the Omega... well, former Omega. A guy like him surely wouldn't want to be with a girl like me. That and I'm sure he has lots of experience in that regard; he must've had all the ladies after him before this whole shit show started. I pushed the thought aside and kneeled at the cabine
I pulled the beast out of the water, smiling smugly as I showed her my catch. To my surprise, the girl burst into a fit of laughter, to the point she folded in two. What the hell's so funny? I turned to look at my catch. "You've got to be fucking kidding me..." A log. I caught afuckinglog. What kind of a joke is this!? I thought this thing catches fish not logs! Irritated, I tried to pull the hook out but the dam thing wouldn't let go. Come on, piece of crap, work with me! I gave a good yank and finally, the hook was released from the wood, but the line had snapped; I was left with nothing more than a broken string and still no fish. I scowled. "Dam thing broke..." She brought a hand to her mouth, holding back another laugh. "You have to be gentle with these, they aren't made for Wolves. - Yeah, I noticed." I sighed, frustrated I made a fool out of myself and ended up soaking wet. Now I'll have to dry up at the cottage and
I hobbled behind, trying my best to keep everything together. I don't know what came over me... I don't know why I did it but, when I saw him crying, I couldn't just walk away. I wanted to be there for him, comfort him... Ruby longed to be at his side as well, but in a much more intimate way so I had to convince her this wasn't the time. Nonetheless, I don't think I regret the gesture. He needed comfort and there wasn't anyone else around so it wasn't awkward... who am I kidding, I don't know what I was doing. I wasn't thinking, I just... I just did it. Somehow, I expected it to feel awkward and he'd push me away, but, it felt, right. Maybe I'm just overreacting, it was just a hug anyways. I'm sure anyone would've done the same. With that in mind, I continued to hobble my way through the thicket, slowly but surely reaching the cottage. Once inside, I was quite to gut out the fish and clean the insides, leaving it ready to cook. I cut out the side, careful to leave as
I was lost in the depths of my thoughts long before I realized the girl had left to her room without a word. Or maybe she did say goodnight but I simply didn't notice. My finger kept absentmindedly fiddling around with the bottle cap and I soon came to realize I was doing just what my dad use to do on so many faithful nights. Thing is, my dad might of been a hero to the eyes of many, but no one knew the real coward hiding behind that mask. In fact, it almost feels like I was the only one capable of seeing how much damage he's done. Yeah, he's made his redemption ark over the years, but I still held a grudge against him for ruining my childhood. The days I spent sobbing in my room... I sighed, pressing my palms against my temples. The booze must be getting to me... I shooed the nasty thoughts away, well aware I'd loose it if I didn't think of something else. For the first time in a while, I let my mind wander on it's own, let it guide me towards something comforting.
Tears brimmed in my eyes. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as the gentle hand of my mate cupped my cheek, whipping away a my tear. His arm was but skin and bones, a fragile twig struggling to hold its own weight as he caressed my face. I joined my han to hold his, kissing the tender skin of his palm. "Trevor..." My voice quivered with emotion, fueled by rage and grief at the sight of his weakened condition. "What have they done to you?!"His lips lifted into a smile, the same one I've known for many years. "What took you so long?" He teased, ginger locks falling into a tangled mess over his eyes. "I was beginning to believe you've forgotten me. - Never! Never in a million moons." A choked laugh leaped out of my throat, mixed with sobs and sighs of relief. I quickly fondled into the set of keys Zak had given me, rushing you find the right key to Trevor's cell. The distinct sound of click followed as I inserted the fourth key and the metal door open with a creak. Trevor rose from
My gaze averted to the nearest window of the kitchen, dreams of the past coming back to haunt me. That look she gave me...it stung my very core. If only I could've seen her again, explain everything! No... No. You're a fucking coward Zed. You've always been and that's what you'll always be. My fathers words echoed at my temples like a ghost from my past whispering to my ear. He's right... My wolf tugged at our bond, whimpering silently as I sunk further into my mind, wishing nothing else but to be swallowed whole and forgotten. I wanted to be erased from the earth, left behind for the beasts to devour and clense my sins. "You're such a dumbass!" That laugh... Fuck, I love that laugh. His laugh. I miss it... I miss everything about him. The ring rolled between my fingers, ice cold compared the damp heat of my skin. I stared intently at the jewelry, a beautiful rainforest green topaze- his favorite. I swallowed bitterly, stuffing my prized possession in the deepest crevace of my poc
Minutes felt like hours left trapped in this dam room. So many questions were left unanswered. How did he appease Jace? Why lock up Jace? Did they see him as a threat? I struggled to ease my mind and caught myself walking in circles. I couldn't even find any clue as to where I was as every thing was completely foreign to me, from the trees, to the smells, even the furniture within the hut were unlike anything I've ever seen before. "... Strangers into the grove." I perked my head to the sound of a muffled voice followed by heavy foot steps. "Do you have the slightest idea what you brought to camp? You may have a kind heart Sebastien, but your judgement is still greatly flawed. - I understand, i-it was a misjudgment Sir, I will not do it again. If I may ask however, what will you do?" A silence followed as both were posted right by the door of the room."Join Alya with the trainees. Leave the rest to me." The door knob turned swiftly then the door swung open to the shape of the hoode
Anxious, she continued to pace back and forth by their usual rendezvous point, a million questions buzzing through her mind.It's almost sunrise and if she doesn't head back soon, the others would begin to worry. She couldn't leave without at least telling him... who knows when they'll get another opportunity like this? All the while gazing at the sun from time to time, she continued to pace around, fiddling her pendant in her fingers.Suddenly, a large hand covered her mouth followed by llea, muscular arms that pulled her back and into a tall man's chest. She gave out a muffled scream, startled and terrified until a voice whispered softly into her ear."Missed me?" Enraged, the women rolled her eyes and pushed herself away from the man's grip, fuming with anger as he gave her a smug smile."Sv'Ak, Aaron! You know I hate it when you sneak up on me like that!" She hissed between her teeth, careful as to not raise her voice to high. "And you know it isn't good for the baby..." she blush
A metallic hiss bounced between the cobbled walls, replacing the heavy silence that had settled amongst the prisoners. Frustrated growls harmonized with rattling bars as a red manned man gripped the cold metal with powerful fists. "FUCK!" Frustration boiled the blood in his veins, anger emanating from his skin in waves of heat. "When I get my hands on that bastard, I'll fucking KILL HIM! - Quit your yapping, I've known day old pups with better anger management than you." Croaked an old voice from the corner of the cell. Turning her focus back to her occupation, Kyra rummaged through the contents of her satchel, brows furrowed in concentration. Leaned against the wall of the cell, Angel stared helplessly towards the end of the hall, forcing herself to swallow the knot of bile rising within her throat."Any idea where they might've taken them? - I'm more worried about what they're going to do to us!" Groaned a dark haired male, blue eyes glaring at the girl, the smell of fear and swe

Once again, I can't thank y'all enough for all the wonderful support y'all have given me for this series. I never thought such an experimental work would become one of my main series (if you can call it that lmao). Y'all rock,
My heart sank. I could feel the rumble of Ruby's snarl shake through my body, causing my limbs to tremble with rage. Although the heart breaking truth lingered since I woke up, part of me refused to believe it. Yet here we were, face to face as enemies. Anger boiled my blood. I clenched my fists until my knuckles turned white, unable to hide the despair and rage burning within me.Zed's ice blue gaze reflected nothing but guilt, silently pleading for my forgiveness. "Ava...- Don't." I sneered, unable to hide the emotions that cracked my voice. I gazed down, forcing myself to break eye contact in an attempt to calm my urge to claw his face off. I took a sharp breath, swallowing my anger. Insults filled my mind, fuelled by emotion and grief only to die at the tip of my tongue, refusing to come out. "Why...?" Is the only word I brought myself to mutter lifting my gaze to meet his. Once again, our eyes met, desperate and grief-stricken. I could feel Ruby's anger for the former Scout ris
Hello readers! First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for the sudden silence on TAO's updates; some IRL events occurred and left us unable to update the series for much longer than we initially planned.We're incredibly happy to return and see the book has managed to gain such a huge number of readers, more than ANY of our works have gained prior to this one! With that in mind, we are incredibly excited to announce a sequel is currently in the works and will be released as a second half to this story with the hopes of eventually creating a third and final installment within the far future.In the meantime, we will be reviewing the current released chapters as they are outdated and have been published in their "draft" form. It is then highly recommended to re-read the story as a refresher to the story's events and as of means to update yourself on the lore. TAO final 3 chapters will be released this weekend, alongside the beginning of book 2: Cursed Souls and Lost Heirs. Thank yo
"Katara?"The stone ceiling of a cold room greeted my sight, my eyes slowly adjusting to my poorly lit surroundings. My entire body was numb from the cold floor, it's icy touch freezing my skin and muscles. My eyes darted around, unable to figure out where I was.By then, an agonizing pain bloomed in my head, temples screaming at every heart beat. I gave out but a small groan, unable to feel or move my body. A voice reached my ears, but it was drowned and muffled by the sound of my own heartbeat thrumming against my temples.Slowly, the voice cleared into coherent words. "Ava? Can you hear me dear? Ava!"My eyes adjusted to the darkness, distinguishing the distinct face of an old women. My heart jumped, tears building at the sight of the old Healer."Kira..." My voice was harsh, broken by my parchment dry throat. I struggled to swallow, feeling an urgent need for water. As though she could read my thoughts, Kira's bony head steadily lifted a wooden bowl to my lips, the distinguished sm
