Chapter 58

Antonio's pov

The wind was a playful whisper amongst the towering pines as it carried the scent of damp earth and pine needles. It was a smell I knew intimately, a smell that had become synonymous with my mine.

I was already seated at the entrance of storm pack when I heard whispers and hushed murmurs in the wind. Tales of a hidden path, a ritual, a chance for a rogue to return to the fold. It was a dangerous path, fraught with trials, tests designed to weed out the unworthy. But I was determined, fuelled by a burning desire to reclaim my rightful place. That throne, the one on my mind must be taken.

I stood at the edge of the clearing, the sunlight filtering through the dense canopy, casting mottled shadows on the forest floor. Before me, a winding path snaked its way into the heart of the woods, disappearing into a thick veil of emerald green. It was a path unseen by ordinary eyes, revealed only by the whispers of the ancient trees themselves. I took a deep breath, the sc

    Chapter 59Antonio's povThe air around us crackled with tension in the dimly lit tavern. A dozen figures huddled around a table, our faces dimmed by shadows cast by flashing candlelight. I leaned forward, my voice a low growl."We’ve been watching them for some time," I rasped, my words punctuated by the clinking of mugs. "Their patrols are not predictable neither are their defenses weak. The pack alpha, that pompous fool, looks really focused on his newest prize. I just hope we get a good chance."My men around the table stirred, a low murmur rippling through their ranks.My warriors were outcasts, rejected and cast from their packs for various offenses only to become a rogue pack with a reputation for audacity and ruthlessness. Their leader was none other than me. I was the highest in having a cunning mind and a thirst for vengeance against the Pack that had exiled me."But how do we get past the perimeter?" someone asked, his voice hesitant. "Their sentries are vigilant." another

    Chapter 60Antonio's povI couldn't be more upset and insulted. This was one of the worst I have ever had to deal with in my whole existence.The air crackled with tension, the scent of war heavy in the air. The moon hung low in the sky, casting long, distorted shadows across the battlefield. I stood defiant, my silhouette against the moon's pale light. I was angry and burning with a fire hoping it would crush my enemies behind me. I had chosen this path, this desperate fight against the storm pack. It's either they gave in this time or I would ensure a lot would go down. I thought, not caring about the guards that disappeared as I prepared to mind link more to come.I sent a message and soon, hundreds of rogue cane to fight with me. I couldn't feel any more supported. I loved the rogue world and just how loyal they get to be to the strongest in the forest. Seeing as I couldn’t have access to the pack, I had chosen to fight, to take what I believed was rightfully mine. I then mindli

    Chapter 61Antonio's povIt was still the middle of the night after I managed to escape Alpha Cross' wrath.I was still feeling so insulted and I thought it would be great to channel my anger in the source I thought would be cool.With my teeth bared and a snarl contorting my face, I walked towards the can't where I kept Leila and slammed my fist against the oak door of the prison, the wood groaning under the force I gave it. The stench of damp stone and fear clung to the air, a constant reminder of his failure to conquer Storm Pack. The pack, the very pack I had attempted to conquer, had held me back, their claws and teeth stronger than I had ever anticipated.My gaze fell upon the iron bars of the cell, the only barrier separating me from the one hoe responsible for my humiliation. Leila with her vibrant red hair tangled, lay curled on a straw pallet, her face pale, her forest green eyes closed.Leila, the girl I intended to use as a pawn in my swift games, the girl who, even in her

She cheated on both you and my father with women! Women like her. So you see no one put her in that situation. You aren't saying anything. Of course, you know I am telling the truth." she said as she banged the cage very weakly hoping she would get my attention."We have scores to settle. Where are you going you monster? You are evil! Stop let's speak. Tell me why you want my father dead. All your plans will fail. It won't work. Stop hurting people who have done absolutely nothing wrong to you. You fucked with his wife now you want his life. Don't touch him. Let him be so the next enemy would spare your daughter!!!" she screamed with all her might and when I turned to look at her, I couldn't help but laugh seeing her in so much pain. She had this face that spelled terror. I bet She couldn't believe

    Chapter 63Xander's povStanding in my office window and just staring into space had been one of my favorite things lately. Ever since she went missing things had never been the same. I had arrested a lot of people hoping to get one or more information but no matter how much I tortured, these folks were not willing to say a thing. This made me wonder what was so special about the person they were visibly trying to protect.Then I heard a knock on my door."come in," I said and then my delta walked in with his head low."Speak," I said. I was out of patience."the high priestess is here. I think she wants to see you," he said to me and my eyes brightened a bit.The high priestess? I thought.What could she possibly be doing in my palace today? I hope all was alright. I thought because the priestess I knew didn't walk without a mission or a message from the moon goddess."I will see her at the chamber," I said to my delta and dismissed him. Then I walked to my table and put down some

    Chapter 64Xander's povI stood in my chamber, simmering with the unspoken worry that gnawed at my heart. The fire crackled merrily, but its warmth couldn’t penetrate the chilling emptiness that had taken root in my chest since Leila had vanished. It had been moons, excruciatingly long moons since she’d slipped away, leaving behind only a trail of confusion and the memories of her eyes that still haunted my dreams.I paced, the soft thud of my boots against the stone floor the only sound breaking the suffocating silence. My eyes, usually blazing with an untamed fire, were now dull and hollow, reflecting the pain that threatened to consume me. I had a lot going on in my mind at that moment."alpha Xander," a deep voice boomed from the shadows, breaking the silence. It belonged to Romero, my delta, who was more like my brother in all but blood. I turned my gaze meeting Romero's worried one."Romero," I sighed, a wave of exhaustion washing over me. "Have you heard anything?" I asked my

    Chapter 65Xander's povI summoned all my most trusted warriors to my grand field close to my chamber. With a heavy heart and a stern gaze, I had to address them, my voice resonating with both sorrow and determination."My warriors of the black pool pack," I began, my words carrying the weight of my concern, "as you all know, a grave misfortune has befallen our pack. Our beloved Leila had disappeared on the night of the triumph procession and since then, there has been no travel of her. So we must act swiftly to find her."A collective gasp of horror rippled through the assembled warriors. They had known about this for a while and even though they didn't cherish her when she was here, I didn't care.Her eyes kept showing in my trance wherever I stood just like right now. All I can see is her forest-green eyes. Mysterious but innocent. The thought of her being in danger-filled me with a mix of fear and clinch."I have gathered you here today to prepare for a search that will leave no s

I don't need you to say anything anymore.c I said and turned, walking out with my delta as though I had never stepped in.Leaving and going back to my chamber, I had to deal with the oppressive silence broken only by the rustle of leaves underfoot and the frantic beating of my heart. Later the next day, I moved towards the border of the black pool pack, behind me was a line of determined-looking warriors moving with the same silent and driven purpose, their eyes filled with a fierce determination born from worry and fear. They were my warriors, the elite warriors of the black pool Pack, and they were on a mission: to find Leila like we had discussed and trained.The pack’s fourth in command had joined in, hoping to lead the warriors. It was a task I had never expected him to shoulder, not at this risky stage, not with his own youthful dreams still flickering within him. But duty, and the

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

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.

"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
