Chapter 80Carlson's povThen suddenly, the rain started falling so heavily, thereby adding to my anguish.The rain hammered against the windowpanes, mirroring the pain inside me. I stared at the other window as I watched the rain wash the whole pack, its glow dancing across the walls of my building, a stark contrast to the hot pepper that had settled in my bones. I was already a man stripped bare, my carefully constructed facade crumbling around me, revealing the raw, wounded man beneath.My life, once brimming with ambition and purpose, lay in ruins. My legacy, his very identity was gone in the wind, all reduced to ashes by a single, insidious act of betrayal. It was a betrayal that had not come from a stranger, a competitor, or an enemy. It came from my soul nest. One I had nurtured, the people I had showered with love and affection, the ones I had foolishly believed loved me in return.I thought of my daughter, Amelia. Someone who I had invested my existence in. Whose every whim
Chapter 81Carlson's pov"You traitor. You are an animal." I said as I did all I could, trying my best to hurt him so badly. Dragging his neck in my bittered state, I hit his head numerous times on the wall, my mission, to break his skull."I didn't tell you to treat her bad! He screamed back at me."You failed in your responsibility as a father and husband. Your foolishness is the reason my lover is in the red den tight in this fucking pack and all you have to do about that is stand here and scream about how betrayed you feel? How about when you hurt her at the beginning of the relationship? After hurting me, you went ahead and hurt the woman of my life and expect me never to retaliate? Nah! This is the best time to get back to you. The best time to show you who is boss. Who told you and your alpha that you would get away from me? I hate you! I hate Xander and I will make every single one of you pay just like I let the other enemies die like chickens." he said, laughing maniacally.
Chapter 82Carlson's pov"So now you see I don't need to tell you just how cruel of a person you are. You made her life hell and think I would let you be around my daughter and call her yours? You know that's not true you bastard." Antonio said and attempted a successful kick on my face. I felt weak so I couldn't stop him. Without waiting for another one, he sent a chill punch at my spine, causing me to go back a little bit. I was wounded but noticed that despite the wound, I couldn't feel the real pain. It was just inches of it that felt like scratch."What now uh!" Antonio said and approached me. "are you regretting your actions? You shouldn't anymore. You should just leave the earth after all, you now know that no one wants you.""shut up you bastard," I screamed and ran to him, giving him punching in all parts of his body. But then he stood, looking at me with a wild grin on his face. The green sent needles straight to my heart and pierced it relentlessly. This feeling made me no
Chapter 83Carlson's pov"you can't be serious Antonio? Tell me the truth." I screamed at him, scared for my life."the truth, you already know," he said, approaching me."I don't know anything. Tell me what I need to know.""the truth is..." he said, completing his statement with a large punch on my face.My nose bled but that was not my issue.I was wondering if I would ever be able to live to correct my life mistakes. Even though I never get to correct it with Amelia and Sonia, I badly wish to correct it with Leila and I really hoped it wasn't what I was thinking."you will die!" he said to me and brought out a long rope.I couldn't stand to defend myself and couldn't shift because of the poison in my body system. The inky thing I could use was my hands but the sane hands were pressing my legs, trying to ensure that the poison did not get to a fragile part of my body. That was how helpless I was at that point. He tied me and lifted me, throwing me to the top of my bed.I was then l
Chapter 84Antonio's povI knew she would feel like dying when she finally hears that her father was gone just like her mother. It would be so pleasing to watch.Poor little thing is about to feel the greatest loss of her life. She would probably bag her head in the cage or even commit suicide if she ever gets to find out. The imagination in my head kept making me grin as I thought of what to do with the corpse.I had expected him to vanish but it seemed as though his blood was just too strong for that.Looking at the huge body lying lifelessly, I grinned as I gazed into the space.I then raised my hand like giving out a signal to one of my men who were hidden. Seemed as though these folks had no idea what I had in store for them. I thought, wishing they knew what was coming.One of my warriors came forward and handed me a lighter. Two more arrived and placed the wood on the ground of the field, after that, they then lifted Carlson's corpse and placed it in the woods, I couldn't help
Chapter 85Xander's povWe had been moving far away but that was until we got into this thick forest I had not necessarily crossed before. It was way too thick. Thicker than I thought it was when I was going or maybe I never really crossed this part of the forest.We were minding our business and moving when I heard a loud cry from the back. It was one of my men. Shocked, I stopped and it was the same with Romero and Aaron. "What could that be?" I asked."I think one of our men was attacked," Aaron said to me and I heard to stop to check what it was and when we got to the back, it turned out he was dead. Just like that, I had lost a strong warrior. Wondering what was going on, I thought it would be best to continue our journey and this time, be faster to avoid situations like this again. "be watchful. Ridge everything you need to dodge." I said and then headed to the floor to lead them with my deltas.This time, I and my warriors raced like never before and tirelessly as lives de
Chapter 86Xander's povMy warriors watched me feed the rogues their brothers' flesh to eat and after that, I thought it would be okay if we kept moving. But that didn't mean I wasn't expecting more. In fact, I urged for more within me. I wanted to see just how strong these rogues think they could be. My mind went back to the guys that were severely injured and I couldn't help but feel for them. I was quite unfortunate that such had to happen to them."Alpha!!!" one of my warriors screamed and I turned immediately. "They almost took my life. I had to dodge it or I would be dead by now." one of my warriors said and it struck a cord in me. Who are these people and why were they attacking? I thought to myself and decided to mind my business.We moved all the way and soon, we had crossed miles. This was a journey indeed. I thought. I wondered how far I would have gotten if I didn't really have to turn back. It took us days to get here, so of course, it would still take us days to go bac
Chapter 87Xander's povIt was either they die or they go home feeling different. Different to the point that they would have to ask moon goddess questions."Aren't you all that high and mighty? I just wanted to see."I said to them and lifted them up in the air. After that, I smashed them all on the floor, without being scared for them. I watched their skull break into tiny pieces.After that, I threw their bodies into the forests, hoping the wild animals could come feast on them. It's been a while since I had the pleasure to do as I liked in the forest. I do go into the forest to train but it had never been that way. Going into the forest to train was just me with my imaginary opponent or even the strongest trees and roots. But now, here I was, I was unleashing everything I had been training on for so long and I couldn't be more happier."come with me," I said to my men and we moved. "Attack!!" I heard from nowhere and I had to permit my people to be on alert.Suddenly, different wa
Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. 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
Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. 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
Chapter 199Antonio's pov"Search them! Fish them out right now!!!" I commanded my men as I watched them leave. 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
Chapter 197Leila's pov"You look ready." the rogue appeared in our presence well covered.We looked at each other and then at the rogue. 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
Chapter 195Damian's povI didn't need anyone to tell me. I knew I had not just lost my sister. I had lost Leila too. "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
