Chapter 12

Xander's pov

Being engaged with her had brought her nothing but pain and somehow I felt guilty.

The sun hung heavy in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the clearing. It was still the morning of the Triumph procession a celebration of strength, unity, and the ancient bond that tied the Black Pool Pack together.

Outside of my building, the werewolves of the pack were furious because of the recent event. No one liked Leila anyway and there seemed to be rumors that it may be postponed again if she wasn't found.

A decision that was met with a chorus of disapproval.

Down at the fields;

"What’s the point of this charade?" growled Eldric, his fur bristling with annoyance. 'She’s just a pup. She’ll be back.'

"Or maybe she won't," countered Lyra, her silver eyes glinting with worry. "The forest is a dangerous place, even for a wolf."

"Dangerous? Come now, Lyra," sneered Eldric. "We’re not talking about some delicate human girl. Leila is a werewolf! She can handle herself."

    Chapter 13Xander's pov"only Leila can bring peace to this pack," I replied to him.****Romero's povBlack pool pack of werewolves yearned for a change of a representative. They had grown weary of the interminable waiting for a Leila to grace their presence. With determination coursing through their veins, they resolved to take matters into their own paws and compose a petition to convey their pressing concerns to my Alpha.The process of crafting the petition was going to be an arduous one. I thought the moment I found out. Under the guidance of Lycan, one of the wisest and most experienced members of the pack, they gathered in a secluded clearing beneath the watchful gleam of the cloud.Lycan, his silver fur glimmering under the daylight, addressed the assembled wolves with a solemn voice. "My fellow wolves, we have endured this interminable delay with patience, but our patience has reached its limit. We must now take a bolder step to assert our voices but this will only work if y

    Chapter 14Xander's pov"I need to see the high priestess," I ordered through the mind link.****The scent of pine and damp earth mingled with the sweet, heady aroma of incense, forming a heady cocktail that swirled around the High Priestess as she headed the sprawling palace grounds. Her bare feet, calloused from years of walking the forest paths, whispered against the cool stone of the ancient courtyard. A low hum, barely audible above the rustling of the leaves in the surrounding trees, emanated from her, a constant presence that resonated with the ancient magic she wielded. Her journey to the heart of my pack palace had been long, a journey across treacherous mountains and through dense, whispering forests. She’d carried with her not only the sacred tools of her craft but also the weight of responsibility – the wellbeing of the pack rested on her shoulders.I, her Alpha, a man of broad shoulders and fierce eyes, had made the unusual request. I believed his pack's prosperity was

    Chapter 15Xander's povShe was a mighty woman. If there was bad luck, she would be sure to evade it.I then thought of Carlson. The last time I visited, I could still sense the loyalty in him. I was then convinced that he had nothing to do with Leila's disappearance."Release him!" I said as I communicated through the mind link. I then made my way to the Red Den.On getting there, Romero and some special guards were at the gate already waiting for me. I opened it and they followed me in.****Carlson's povThe iron bars of the red cage rattled as my alpha pushed them open. The air outside was thick with the musk of the pack and the damp smell of the approaching storm. I stepped out, the sun warm against my fur, but the warmth was a poor substitute for the comfort I once felt in the pack's embrace. The cage, my prison for a fortnight, had been a constant reminder of my folly, my humiliation. I had been one of the pack's champions, one of the strongest, one of the most feared. Now, I w

    Chapter 16Carlson's povBeta Joe was a beta like me. He was second to me and was my best friend.He has been my best friend for as long as I could ever remember.Though I was shocked to see him. I expected him to desert me just like everyone else."hi Carlson," he said to me and I smiled happily before hugging him."hello Joe!""Good to have you back bro!" he hugged me.We got in, had a small discussion and soon he left for something very important.Sitting on my couch, I couldn't believe the gist Joe told me at first. My wife? I was speechless. So if she was in Red Den, what about Amelia?I wondered where Amelia wandered to. Why couldn't she at least wait for me? I thought, feeling tired already. Amelia was my favorite daughter. She could help me find her step-sister. I thought as I then decided to move around to find her first. ****The scent of woodsmoke and damp earth clung to my fur as I paced the whole pack and headed toward the forest. I was a wolf, my senses heightened, th

    The path ahead was long and dangerous, but I would face it. I would find Leila, and then, with a heart full of relief, I would finally turn my attention to Amelia, my wayward daughter. Amelia was the one who always found her way back home every single time. Only the moon goddess knows where she always came back from. I knew, deep down, that she would be alright, but the frustration and the gnawing worry would not leave me until I found her, until she was safely tucked in her bed, the scent of lavender soap filling the air around her.****Xander's povThe air hung heavy, thick with the humid scent of honeysuckle and the approaching dawn. I sat on the edge of the pool, my bare feet sinking into the cool, slick tiles. The water, still and reflective, mirrored the luminescent glow of the moon, a silver disc hanging low in the sky. Liela's father, the esteemed beta of my pack, was out there, prowling the moonlit woods, searching for Leila. But I knew he wouldn't find her by just moving ar

    Xander's povIt was already night but I still didn't think I wanted to leave the pool. Making up my mind, I jumped into the pool and made my way through the waters.The water, cool and refreshing, provided a welcome respite from the pressures of governing my sprawling pack territory. As I glided through the water, my mind was surprisingly at ease. A rare moment of peace in my otherwise demanding life.Suddenly, a blinding flash of white light erupted in my mind, jarring me from my tranquil moment. It was a vision, stark and vivid. I suddenly saw a group of strange, unfamiliar figures, their faces hidden in shadows, infiltrating the Red Den. Their movements were swift and calculated, their purpose clear - to break someone out of his strict custody. The vision was fleeting, gone as quickly as it had arrived, leaving me with a gnawing sense of unease.I surfaced from the water immediately, shaking the water from my hair and letting out a long exhale. It was unusual for visions to be so s

    Xander povMy voice, filled with honest anger, resonated with power, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard me. The pack, sensing my determination, responded with a resounding roar of agreement. They were ready to follow their leader, to fight for their territory, for their pack, for me, their alpha.The night air crackled with anticipation, the scent of danger mingling with the scent of the pack's collective determination.The rival pack, calling themselves The Shadow pack, had dared to challenge my dominion over the territory. Their message was simple: yield, or be defeated. For me, this wasn't just about territory. It was about respect, about proving my pack's strength, about reaffirming my role as Alpha. I wouldn't back down."The Shadow pack awaits," I barked, my voice a deep rumble that resonated through the forest. "they wait for us to fight on their terms. But we are the black pool. We do not succumb to intimidation.'A chorus of growls echoed back, each wolf's eye

    Xander povRomero, my delta, stood beside me, his eyes pleading."Alpha," Romero said, his voice heavy with concern. "We have a larger problem.""What do you mean?" I turned and asked, my anger subsiding.Romero pointed towards the edge of the clearing. There, emerging from the shadows, were more rogues, their numbers far exceeding those they had just subdued. They were armed, not just with claws and teeth, but with crude weapons fashioned from wood and bone. These were not the rogues of the Shadow pack. These were different. More dangerous."They weren't part of the plan," Romero whispered. "They had been waiting in the shadows, watching. They knew this was coming. They are here for us."My heart sank. This was a trap. The rogues had set a trap for his pack, a deadly game that they were caught in the middle of. I felt a coldness creep into my chest, a fear I hadn't felt in years. I really don't care about dying. My fear is not being able to save Leila before I die.My gaze swept over

She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose

    Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j

I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I

    Chapter 200Sonia's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Gosh! I understand that Damian is missing and he left with Leila but what has it changed? He is still the alpha. I would rather he prove to the people that he can protect them and solidify his position than this he was doing. He just killed a member and now the whole pack is in mourning. I didn't think he was right in this. We should only go after anyone who threatens our position and not innocent pack members. I turned and walked into the building after him, chasing after him."make me understand the reason for that Antonio. Do you realize you just killed someone?" I queried.He turned and faced me in the bedroom looking really scared. "Sonia I expect you to follow my lead and not ask me stupid questions. Do you realize what will happen if those two get their hands on any power and come after us again?"What the hell was he even talking about? "this is not even the point. You murdered someone you were obligated to protect. This nev

Arrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!I could not control my anger anymore as my warriors matched out of the black pool pack to find Damian and Leila. I was then wondering how long they had gone missing for as I knelt on the floor at the from of the palace building. On remembering Dennis, I decided to check him out but no matter how much I searched around, he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Dennis? He was here a few minutes ago." I asked one of the guards I had right there."he left long ago. Not too long from when he came." the guard responded and I got very pissed. How could he leave again without saying goodbye?My mind was messed up and I really needed someone to talk to."you are walking around like you have mental issues," Sonia said to me, fueling my anger. "why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me answer me?"I screamed at her.My anger was over the roof.

    Chapter 198Leila's povAntonio was a very desperate and greedy man. We had to listen to every single thing Damian had to say and though I was still angry at him deep within me, I still think it wasn't entirely his fault.Why hurt your fellow werewolf for revenge? It just doesn't add up to me at all.Damian was still with me and the alpha. He unexpectedly went down on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. "I want you to forgive me, Lily. I know you may never want to get back into a romantic relationship with me and I'm not expecting you to or feeling entitled to it. I just want you to forgive me. I was wrong. I admit it. I should have alerted you and if I knew my sister would have died, I would have risked my life so I wouldn't have to live to witness her absence. Please don't take me back but forgive me for all the pain and disappointment I have cost you."I didn't expect this apology but either way, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to cry it out. Yes I loved him and I wasn't jok

Two others then joined them, and all of a sudden they were three.I shifted back a little. I was disappointed because I never thought of fighting anyone. How was I supposed to fight more than one rogue? Seems like I would have to experience what it was like being beaten by a random rogue. I felt tired all of a sudden and then sat down on the floor. "Leila you can't do that." Damian's voice came through."I can't fight them either. I mean it's not like I am that strong. You should give up too. You aren't Alpha Xander." I told him and he realized what u was saying at that instant but still didn't want to let his guard down.The rogues looked mysterious. "Did you just say Alpha Xander?" one of them asked."yes, that's my alpha," Damian replied to them and they stood still, taking their hands like people giving up in a fight. Seeing their reactions. I

    Chapter 196Leila's povDid they get attacked? I couldn't believe my ears. I had lived in the cage with the mindset that I was nothing. I had no idea that the pack was in chaos due to my disappearance. I then started feeling this special gratitude for my Alpha."But Leila... Will you ever forgive me?" I heard Damian ask. I was already making peace with myself."I think you should give me time." I said to him and he didn't argue that as we walked, trying to find our way out of the forest. "if we find ourselves out of the forest? Do you think it will be wise to get into the black pool pack though?""that will be a terrible decision to make. I'm sure you want to be spared. We just have to find a good place to be able to stick to and lay our heads. I don't know if his people have recovered from the spell I cast on them though but I know we have gone far already and are safe from that angle. The only thing to be careful about right now is ensuring we never get to see Antonio or his wife ri

"Leila I know that I do not deserve to be around you right now but one thing is for sure. I am really sorry and I would do anything to prove it. I know you would never want to be with me again, at least not after everything you saw right there. I want to have you. Please give me a second chance to prove myself to you over and over again." I said to her and she was in pain. She put down her head, hoping to cover her face while she cried but I wasn't willing to let her happen and instead placed her head on my lap."Damian I have no choice but to forgive you. It's okay but we can no longer be partners or mates. I cherished all the time spent together but thank you. I will officially pause it here." I heard her after a while. I couldn't believe she said that to me as I was beyond shocked. Leila forgave me? I couldn't believe my eyes and ears."Leila you really forgave me
