The Alpha's Revenge Chapter 25
I gulped. Took one step back. He took one closer. One more, then another. My back hit the desk behind, and I felt the colors draining from my face. I was in no state to take another punishment, not in a million times wished it upon me. "The fuck were you doing here?" he spat, his eyebrows drawn together in a threatening way. "I... I-I..." I looked around for a clue on what to use as my excuse for my own breathing was too loud for my thoughts to process properly. My hands were shaking worse now. The weight of the book inside my shirt slowly slipping added to the feeling of pure, raw terror. The consequence of breaking his rules were never as soft as the spanking I got from my papa when younger. No. They came down upon me like a thunder, leaving marks for future lessons. And right now, the way his silver eyes were darkening, and jaw clenching, it was all the warning I needed to try harder for myself. From the corner of my eyes, I spotted the duster brush on the floor by the door

Before I could stop her, Tera snatched the paper from my hand. "No-no. Wait!" I tried to reach for it, but I was no match to her height, and the glare she was directing my way froze me in my ground. My heart didn't beat inside me, it pounded like a madman getting all his anger out on a door. The word caught echoed in my head. I was dead. So dead. She'd tell him; he'd know. He'd know about my papa. He would go after him and...Uncrumpling the paper, she stared at it, her brows furrowing angrily. I gulped. I had the urge to hit her in the head, finish her, stop her from going to Hades. I urged violence to save my loved one. I might have even acted on it had she not turned the paper over, her eyes blinking in confusion. She turned it back, then raised it before my eyes. "What is it? What were you trying to do?" I stared at the blank paper, not being able to fathom a thing. There was no single word message on it anymore. It looked like not even a scratch from a pen graced it ever.
The Alpha's Revenge Chapter 27
Blood drained from my system at his words, and I whipped around, my eyes wide with a dread so chilling it one upped the cold on the outside. "No..." I shook my head. "No, you can't." "You have been a pain in the arse." Clink.The tears built up inside me once again. "I have taught you enough lessons, but you never learn, do you?" "I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to do it..." I trailed, feeling my cheeks dampen. Taking a step towards me, he loomed closer to my height. His index finger traced along the skin under my eye, collecting a single drop of tear, and he eyed it. "This crocodile tears you and your father shed-" his eyes found mines back, and he flicked the teardrop back on my face, making me wince, "means nothing to me." I shook my head, my sobs turning into hiccups now. The mere thought of staying in this oubliette made something snap within my heart. Maybe a nerve or the heart itself. He straightened back up and circled me. "You think you can do whatever you want. Ruin som
The Alpha's Revenge Chapter 28
Hades's POV~ Darkness; a prime part of me if not the whole. I functioned better in its cloak, almost like the devil feeding off of its sinister energy. It took me under its wing the day I became an orphan, promising me the agonies of my enemies in return. I heeded, and now I ruled it. It never disappointed me either, rather welcomed me with an open arm. That's how I felt when I entered my favorite part of the penitentiary. The smell of blood filled my nostrils, and I sucked it in like a sniff of drug. The smell of my enemy's blood. There is a difference in the smell of the blood regarding its holder. Some smelled sweet and pure while the others acrid and acerbic. It's true when they say your blood rots with the amount of corruption you feed your soul with. Rogues; they had the foulest of blood, so putrefied it stung the lungs when sucked in, poisoned the flesh. Yet they were my favorite type. It was the type belonging to my enemies. Stopping in front of a body on the cobbled

Gisella's POV~Bare feet. A dark hallway. The feeling of being watched. I gasped for air as I frantically whirled around looking for an exit. Thinking of a protector who could save me. I opened my mouth to call for him and instead of my father's name all that came out was, "Hades!" No. No, I didn't wanna call for him. If anything, I was running from him. He was the biggest threat to me, and my papa's existence. He was the one hunting for our blood. Yet, why was I calling for him? Then I felt it, a presence as eerie and bone-chilling as the dead of night behind me. I stilled, my breathing following suit. On curled toes, I pivoted around slowly. Two red eyes stared back. They were approaching me. My senses told me to run, but my feet seemed to glue to the ground. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. It launched at me. My eyes shot open, and I jumped up to a sitting position, heaving like I had been running for hours. My frantic gaze steered around, taking in my surroundings. I

I was running again, the world gliding past. The trees were a blur, the ground a fast-paced reel. We were jumping over fallen branches, tackling bushes and crossing river streams. No time to spare a moment and look back or fuss over the thorns splitting through our skin. It had been an hour or two I supposed. Maybe more, maybe less. My lungs were burning, and my legs felt painfully numb. Every time I thought about stopping, I could picture those angry silver orbs, and it only fueled my pace. So many thoughts swirled in my head; some sanguine, some adverse. So many feelings bloated my chest; some overwhelming, some nerve-racking. I was going to see my papa finally after so long. I wanted to ask him where he had been all this time. How he had been. Why he committed such a sinful crime like murdering two souls who had a little bundle of joy to take care of.He had a reason that I knew for sure, but I wanted to know how severe the reason had been for him to stoop this low. Then there

I jerked upright to a sitting position, breathing in pants. Looking around and taking in the bright spring morning, a shaky yet relived exhale escaped me. It was all a dream. A bad dream. Fairy tale didn't exist. Hades was normal. Yeah... I convinced myself. Yet there was a part deep within that refused to swallow those words of cajole. It coaxed me, persistent to make me believe. Yet I shook my head. "It's not real," I told myself. "It can't be. See my necklace is still here..." My hand went to my neck, groping for the crystal and came back empty-handed. My breathing shallowed again. Jumping out of the bed, I ran to the mirror, glancing at my injury in the head. It was newly bandaged. Then I glanced at my clothes. They were changed as well. My heart started beating like drums. I dashed to the washroom and looked into the laundry basket. The dress I had been wearing before was torn from the shoulder."Oh God..." I gasped, holding onto the wall beside as the events from yest
The Alpha's Revenge Chapter 32
Hades' POV~The ring groaned under my weight as I leaned against a post in the corner. The crowd cheered, yelled and whistled from behind the control barricades while the ref called for someone gutted enough to face me. Human fighters steered clear of me. Not because they knew my identity but because I had knocked out several dozens of them in the very first round. Werewolves, however, did so because they knew better than to cross me. They knew clashing with me would land them into a unnecessary bloodshed on a fair day let alone when I was pissed. And I was goddamn apoplectic today. I already tore down three training halls, dismantled fifty punching bags and sent my half-breed manager at Vilkas Corp. to the ER. Underground fight club was my ultimate choice. Nothing beat the pleasure of releasing aggression on raw flesh and self-healing bones, and I had enough rushing through my veins like rough vesicular lava ready to overflow and massacre the whole world down to ashes.

Eight years later~ "Elizah?" I stared at the empty room, my brows furrowing. He was supposed to be in his table studying. "Elizah," I called again in a low voice afraid the twins might wake back up.I and Nola spent three hours trying to get them to sleep, and then I dozed off, completely forgetting that I had promised my elder son to help with his homework. Walking down the hall, I checked in the other rooms, even the twins' just in case he decided to visit them like he did sometimes, yet no sign of him. My stomach knotted with unease. Normally, he'd come running to me on my first call, occasionally the second no matter where he was in the house. He was such a sweet kid. But today as I ran around looking for him, I knew something wasn't right. Not working myself up as the doc suggested because of the heart problems I developed over the years as heirloom, I decided to check his hiding spots. There were several throughout the house, the most used one being behind his bookshelves in
The Alpha's Revenge Epilogue
One month later~ I sat before the huge mirror like a mannequin princess being coddled by a dozen women. A soft, warm air blew on my hair as someone blow-dried it. Two painted my nails, and another ran several brushes on my face applying make-up. This was the big day. My wedding. Yet as I looked up searching for familiar faces among the people surrounding me I missed the ones I called family. Some more than the others. Some I hated that I ever loved. They took things from me. Significant things. Parts of my heart that I can never get back. But it was a relief knowing the ominous time was over. The evil lurking in the dark waiting to pounce and feed on our happiness was gone forever. And if someone new decided to test their luck, I knew Hades would be right there, protecting his family, and his pack like the feared blood alpha he was. And with him beside me, I too could tackle any storm, swallow any pain and vanquish any enemy that dared to wedge their evil ploys between us. "The d

"No!" I screamed, my chest constricting so painfully I could be sure I was having a heart attack. But it turned out to be fruitful because Gordon's head shot my way, and Hades took that opportunity to slam his forearm on his elbow pit, making a crack echo through the trees. He didn't stop there because the next moment he headbutted the elder sending him flying across. Hades was bloody all over, but he was okay. However, there was no relief as I knelt beside Tera, my head spinning, and a strange pressure building in my belly. Shaking my head, I glanced at the huge broken branch sticking out of her torso. "Tera," I cried out. "Why did you do it?""Don't... get your knickers... in a twist, woman. I'm not... dying for you," she spoke between coughs, her eyes squeezing shut as she clutched the wood and tugged at it. But it didn't budge. She tried again, a gritting scream leaving her lips, but once again, the wood piece refused to come out. It was stuck to something inside. Falling b

The blood in my veins went still as I stared at the man before me. Silver rooted hair and grey eyes. He had the proudest smile plastered on his face as he closed the gap between him and Iris into a loud, sloppy kiss. "Mhm, I missed you, babe," Iris cooed. "I'm here now, my love," he cooed back, and they both turned to me with matching looks of pure mockery. The nerves!Those two? Together? All this time? Shock and disgust combined with each other struck me frozen for a moment. My gut feelings had always been right. Of course it had to be him. Every single of those evidences denoted so. I should've known. I should've fought harder with Hades to prove my reasonings. But then the shock got buried under the weight of the brazen revelation of his dirty game.Every ounce of blood in my veins started to downright scorch. "The fuck you just said?" I snarled. "Manners, girl," uncle Gordon spoke, but then his lips curved into a wicked smirk. "Oh wait, I forgot you didn't have a mother to

Once Garett called off the celebration, the guests started departing with confusion and disappointment washing off the earlier enjoyment from their faces. Some even looked annoyed, but of course they knew better than to complain. I, on the other hand, felt like there was a stress attack swirling deep inside me, but I couldn't freak out now. I had to think about my child. I had to keep it from any kind of harm's way. And when Nola and Iris ran my way, the panic somewhat alleviated from my core. "What happened?" Iris asked. "Are you feeling alright, darling?" Nola followed. "I'm fine," I replied, taking deep breaths to calm my nerves. "I think they caught Alpha Ryan." Nola gasped while Iris sent me a baffled look. "Who's that?" "An alpha who attacked our pack a while back. He even tried to hurt Gisella," Nola explained.Iris' eyes rounded, and she looked around, her gaze alert. "Luna," Wyett and the two other bodyguards stepped closer, "We should go. Alpha asked to take you back

"Why are we here?" I asked, looking around at the fancy shopping mall Hades brought me first thing in the morning. His arms wrapped around my torso and whirled me around. I frowned, staring at the shop before me, but then the name and the long white fluffy gown on display of the shop quenched all my curiosity, and I gasped, my eyes widening. I whipped around too fast, felling a dizziness follow. But I shook it off, my heart pounding in my chest. "Are you going to buy me a wedding dress?" "You're not planning on marrying me in one of your pink sundresses, are you?" I giggled, my insides bubbling with excitement. "No, but a pink bridal gown wouldn't be bad, don't you think?" "Nothing on you looks bad. Drill that into your head, pet." I smiled, feeling a silly swooning moment pass me at the nickname. I missed hearing it from him. It might sound crazy, but I might even prefer this over love, or weird enough, my own name.Hades did as per my wish though. Because the next thing I kne

I sat at the hospital bed anxiously watching Hades and the pack doctor talking between themselves. I couldn't fathom what gotten into Hades all of a sudden. The whole way back home he had been so paranoid even the smallest sounds or movements around got him unduly worked up, and so overly protective even the smallest of road bumps made his free hand shot out to shield me. I had asked him, but he refused to answer before the doctor checked. I told him I was fine. It was only the weakness from not eating enough, but he wouldn't budge. He even made sure half of the nurses from the hospital come aid me like I was some patient with serious illness. My perturbation palliated a little when Bree barged into the private chamber. "Bree," I relieved. Greeting the Alpha, she rushed to me. "Luna, I heard what happened. Are you hurt?" I shook my head. "No, I'm not. But Hades is acting weird I don't understand why. Do you know anything?" She sent me an apologetic smile. "I'm having my hunches,

Sneaking Sam's car keys wasn't the easiest thing, but I did it. I took his car and slipped out of the Church ground. I left my scarf in the shade just so Hades wouldn't lose my scent completely and go berserk. I knew it was the stupidest thing to do right now, but I also knew Hades wouldn't believe me. Not without proof. Whichever uncle Gordon was talking about. And at this point, I was desperate. Something in my guts told me he was speaking about my papa's apartment. Something inside suspected he was behind this murder. I only needed to prove it to Hades and the world. But what I didn't understand was why he would do that. As Papa said the one who started it steered Papa and the other hunters looking for the culprit to the Vilkas spouses. He framed them to get out of the hook. But would Gordon really do that? He had been raising Hades since their death, and sometimes it even felt like he was angry at me for being the daughter of the one who took his brother's life. Then... Could
The Alpha's Revenge Chapter 86
"Gisele, let me handle this." "So you can let him off the hook?" "I'd never do that," Hades clipped. I stared at him. Maybe he wouldn't because as I had always heard, Hades took justice to a whole new level. He didn't even spare a rare hybrid for wronging one of his allies. Didn't care what the council had to say. "If he's guilty," he added. My teeth gritted. Maybe it was because he never punished a family member before cause when it came to family, even the great rulers fell weak. Turning away from him, I barged through the office door uncle Gordon worked in now. He had been staying in the pack since we arrived from Alaska and helping Hades operate the pack business while he had been recovering and spending more time with me. It felt like a blessing until now. I couldn't keep control of my anger as I stormed right to his desk and slammed my hands on it. "You. You killed my father." He looked up, eyes widening for a brief moment, then they hardened. "Gisella," Hades appeare
