Chapter 71

Xander's pov

I acknowledged them and told them to drink. After that, we calmly continued our journey back to the pack.

When we got to a distance, I started getting uncomfortable. At first, I thought we were in danger and that rogues were close again ready to strike but when I looked closely, it wasn't that.

"There's something off," I said to my deltas out of nowhere.

Romero nodded. "that's right Alpha. The air feels…tense. Like a storm brewing." he replied to me

My wolf, a magnificent black beast with its blue eyes shifted inside of me, an uneasy tremor running through its own core. The air was unnaturally still to me, the usual chirping of birds replaced by an eerie silence but I chose to dismiss it, attributing it to the waning light.

We had been on a mission so tight, doing our best to bring back my mate so it could be that my wolf was trying to warn us to be faster.

I raised my hand, a silent signal to continue our trek back home. But the moment my hand dropped, a wave

    Chapter 72Xander's povI couldn't be more happy about it. That was the reason I loved him so much. He was one of the reasons I never gave up."how about we shift to be faster," Aaron suggested."That's a good idea," Romero said and looked at me.I nodded and instructed everyone. In that instant, we shifted and continued our journey.*******************Carlson's povOn the last floor of the strongest beta's building and on the soft bed laid me, Carlson, the strongest beta in the black pool pack, and I was in a deep sleep trying to make up for the nights I had stayed without any rest. The gentle ripples that lapped against the muddy banks lulled me into a more profound sleep, my massive form enveloped in a comforting blanket of darkness.I then saw myself in a very tight situation in the middle of what seemed like war. I saw kids running, building, and in my confused state, I tried to ask what the problem was but no matter how I tried to find out, I kept on getting pushed until I got

    Chapter 73Carlson's povStanding in my window, I experienced firsthand horror with both of my eyes.I watched rogues rush into the pack, scattered everywhere.The roar of the rogues echoed all over the pack, daring everyone to show up. Their eyes were burning with cruel hunger as I watched them start sweeping down buildings and burning them at the same time.The smoke curling towards the sky is a testament to their handiwork. They had promised destruction and were delivering, all their howls dripping with malice I had no idea where it came from. "This is what happens when you defy us. This is what happens when you dare to live in peace." some of the rogues said and I froze.This had never happened before in this pack and I couldn't be more shocked.The once sturdy buildings now lay in shambles, their wooden frames reduced to splintered debris. The communal kitchen, where laughter and the scent of fresh bread used to fill the air, was now a smoldering ruin. The training grounds, whe

    Chapter 74Carlson's povI monitored the pack with a heavy heart. My pack, once a cohesive unit, was now scattered and disorganized. The rogues, emboldened by their numbers, pressed their advantage mercilessly. Wolves started falling on all sides with their cries that of pain and desperation mingling with the clash of steel and the snapping of teeth.A surge of fury coursed through my veins. I would definitely not stand idly by as my pack was demolished before my very eyes. With this determination, I let out a howl that echoed through my room. The sound sent shivers down my own spine as I did my best to ensure no one saw me coming From the distance in my room, I spotted a group of rogues targeting the most vulnerable members which were the kids and without hesitation, I seized several arrows from my bed and notched them onto my bow at once. With practiced precision, I took aim and released the first arrow. It soared through the air, finding its mark in the chest of a charging rogue.

    Chapter 75Carlson's pov"Show me you are on this pack's side. Show me you’re not just playing another trick."Bob then nodded, his eyes shining with desperation. He drew a small blade from the inside of his cloak, a blade that gleamed with a wickedly sharp edge."I will stop him, Carlson. I swear it. I will fight alongside you, even if it means death."He thrust the blade into the palm of his hand, drawing a crimson line across his flesh. The pain was evident in his face as a sharp hiss escaped his lips, but his gaze never wavered. He looked dead serious to show how committed he was.I watched, my mind racing as I tried to understand the situation. I had known Bob for years and had seen him strategize, seen him manipulate just to rise to power through tricks and ruthlessness. But this... this was different. This was a Bob stripped bare, a Bob who seemed to have found something he was willing to die for.A decision was made, and I took a deep breath. I held out my hand, offering a si

    Chapter 76Carlson's povI didn't want him to come out of the situation he was in and I didn't care if he died. He was too wicked to be among the living werewolves."Can you let me go?" he commanded me."no, I won't. You walked in here yourself.""of course, I know that. You don't have to remind me." he refuted and I scoffed."Why?" I asked him, my voice rough with the residual anger, but laced with a curiosity that surprised me. I didn't want to understand the rogue, not really. But the question hung between them, unspoken yet undeniable. I needed to know why he had chosen today of all days to attack. Antonio acted like he had not heard what I said."I'm asking you a question. I demand an answer." I said and pushed him to fall at the wall. He stared at me and for some reason, I spotted a smirk. One that irked my very being and forced me to lash out at him. I sent kicks to his face causing him to repeatedly spit off blood. "you… you wouldn't understand." he managed to say as he tu

    Chapter 77Carlson's pov"There is nothing I would never be able to understand you dick. Just go ahead and say it." I said in anger."well I don't think I feel like saying it out," he said and tried to stand up.I had expected answers, explanations, and a roadmap of the invasion. Instead, I was being met with an impenetrable wall of silence in the next minutes that followed. Antonio's face was a mask of coldness, his dark eyes were unreadable behind the veil of his hood. Every attempt to pry information from him was met with a stoic shrug or a cryptic, "You really want to know?" he asked but I knew he was trying to toy with me."There’s a reason you are here Antonio." my voice was low, a rumble that shook the rogue slightly. "I need to understand the "I won't understand" you speak of. I need to hear it, to know what I would face.""And you will," Antonio said, his voice a low growl that echoed across my room, "well in due time. Patience, my friend. The answers will reveal themselves

    Chapter 78Carlson's povBut the fight was never between me and him. I had only watched Alpha Xander defeat him and chose not to kill him. Was he still holding in that beef and how was that related to Sonia and Amelia?I was going to hear everything I needed else we would be stuck in there for life. I thought to myself."Why are you doing this?" I rasped the words in a choked whisper. I had seen the rogue’s face, the look of despair that had flickered across his features, and he knew it wasn't just about the disaster that was being caused in the pack. There was something deeper, something that gnawed at the rogue's soul.Antonio shifted a tinge of mockery in his eyes. He coughed, a dry, rasping sound that echoed in the silence of my room. "It was... a mistake...at first," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper.I leaned closer. "A mistake? You risked your life, risked the lives of everyone in this pack, for a mistake?" I felt a surge of anger, a hot, volatile force that threatened to

One we had taken a time we went to the garden.The weight of this betrayal bore down upon me with an intensity that threatened to suffocate me. The realization of my mate's infidelity had shattered my world, tearing apart the very fabric of my existence. The bitter sting of betrayal coursed through my veins, paralyzing my mind and body.

The once-solid foundation of our relationship had crumbled into dust, replaced by a chasm of shattered trust.As the seconds turned into restless minutes, my thoughts spiraled into a whirl of self-reproach.

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. 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
