The Alpha’s Scorned 11. True Love Prevails
When I wake up, it's as if I've had the most horrible nightmare I've ever had. I begin to remember fragments of it. My pack being slaughtered, losing myself to the dark side, as I killed Alpha Xander's soldier. As I choked the breath out of Darius. The last part makes my eyes shoot out wide. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" I shout. I search around frantically for Darius. I see him lying on the ground next to me."NO!" I scream out in sheer horror. I can't believe I did this. I killed him—the only one to ever show me what true love was like. I killed him. And all he tried to do was stop me. I fall to the ground, placing my head in between my knees."NO!" I shout once more, in complete despair."This can't be happening! What have I done?" I question."Wynter?" I hear a faint sound behind me but take no notice of it. I begin to sob. Not only have I lost my friends and family, but Darius as well.I don't know how I can go on after this."Wynter?" I hear someone call to me once more.I look up
The Alpha’s Scorned 12. Shattered
"You heard me. I said, have you ever tried?" He repeats.I frown my brows at him. What the hell is he on about."Who the hell would? Do you even hear yourself right now? Why would I drink blood? I'm not a vampire!" I shout out."Prove it." He spits at me."How? How the hell do you want me to prove that I'm not a vampire." I question.Alpha Xander reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small vial."What is that?" I question."Nothing to be concerned about unless you're a vampire." He states.He holds the vial out towards me."What do you want me to do with that?" I ask."If I'm correct, and you're in fact, a tribrid, then the very liquid within this vial would burn your skin upon contact. However, if you truly are just a hybrid, like you say you are, then nothing will happen." He calmly states.Curiosity gets the better of me as I find myself reaching over to grab the vial with my empty hand."How do I know this isn't a trick?" I ask."You have your reasons to mistrust me, but conside
The Alpha’s Scorned 13. Inner Turmoil
... Four Years Later......Darius POV...I was growing restless. I'm turning sixteen in less than a month, and I could already feel my wolf getting anxious. I was looking forward to being able to shift for the first time. My sixteenth birthday was going to be amazing. It would be the first time to meet my wolf, but it was also the day in which I could begin to learn who my mate was. I found myself conflicted over the last part. The strange thing was, I had no idea why. I have an inner desire to meet her, but I also had this need to move on without her. I didn't know why I was like this. I had always thought that I would be one of those love-sick wolves that desperately searched for their true mate. I had grown up being told by the elders how special our mates really were. So why did I not want to meet her? I was so confused. It was as if part of me was telling me to choose my own mate, while a small part of me fought against the very idea of it. I wish that once I have my wolf, that
The Alpha’s Scorned 14. Countdown
In just two minutes, my life will forever change. 'One minute and forty-eight seconds...' I think to myself as I look at the watch on my wrist.'One minute and twenty-six seconds..' I say in my mind, counting the time down.I strip out of the remainder of my clothes and place them in a bag at the base of the tree. I take my watch off and place it on top of my clothes.I can feel the cool air breeze over my body, sending chills throughout. However, with my wolf genes, I don't get irritated by the cold. Rather the cool air is simply refreshing. Wolves typically run hot, much hotter than a normal human anyways. So the cool air was much appreciated.I could tell the time had finally come, as I felt every bone in my body come to attention. It was as if my entire body had gone on high alert. I could feel everything inside me burn. It was as if acid was running through my veins. I collapsed to the ground, my knees on the ground as my face bent down. As I tried to compose myself. I focused o
The Alpha’s Scorned 15. Blind Faith
It's been two months since my sixteenth birthday. I wish I could say that my restlessness died once I met my wolf; however, that never happened. If anything, it almost made things worse.Ever since my wolf revealed that I had already found my mate, my thoughts soon became flooded, wanting to know where she was. She looked younger than me by about four years, which would mean that she wouldn't know about the mate bond. However, one thing plagued my mind. The necklace. It was a gesture that a lover would do. Not just a good friend.I'm friends with many of the pack wolves. However, there isn't anyone that I would ever go to the extent of making such a special gift for. That doesn't make me a cold person. Rather, I would get my friends something simple. A toy or item that they had desired, perhaps a dinner out, or hosting a party. Not once would I get them a gift that came directly from my heart.Which would only mean one thing. She must know who we are.'But how's that possible?' I ask
The Alpha’s Scorned 16. Put a Spell on You
"Bleh!" I shout as the foreign liquid begins to burn my throat. Sticking my tongue out in disgust. It was so strong that I'm sure my face resembled someone that took a shot of screech for the first time. "What the hell was that?" I ask."Does it even matter?" He asks.Honestly, probably not. If anything, I don't think I even want to know what exactly that was. "Whatever. But I don't feel any different." I say."I thought you said that it should help recover some of my memories." I said.He looks at me curiously. It also seems that he's just as confused as me as to why this didn't work."Hmm." The man suddenly turns away from me and grabs a large book from under the counter. My eyes continue to follow his every move, not sure what to expect next."Mhmm... Hmm... Huh..." The man says, mumbling to himself. I see an expression of surprise cross his brows. However, he carefully switches his face to appear as if nothing's wrong. Making me curious as to what he was thinking then.After a
The Alpha’s Scorned 17. Champion
...Wynter POV...It's been four years since I last saw Darius. Each second away from him has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. My heart constantly felt like it was on fire. I knew it was because of the mate bond. There was no denying it. I felt my heart constantly pulling me to go back to him. Regardless of how bad the pain got, I knew I couldn't do that. If I went back, it would only be putting Darius' life at risk. Something I couldn't and wouldn't do. I would much rather take a bullet than ever see Darius hurt because of me.After my encounter with Alpha Xander, I ran back to my pack, and together we packed everything up and moved that night. My pack and I relocated to Europe directly after everything happened. Calista had connections near the Black Sword pack in England. She said it used to be her pack before she had gone rogue. I don't know why she never returned to them, instead of staying rogue, but I guess it was just a pride thing. Calista was a very pridef
The Alpha’s Scorned 18. Schooled
...Darius POV...Just as Asher had anticipated, the spell worked. We found out that she was now in the UK. I had told Kenji about this, and we both looked to find a way to go there. Since we were still in the middle of high school, I knew my parents would forbid me from going. I had considered appealing to them by explaining that I wanted to go to find my mate. But at the last second, I had thought against it. My mom would say just whatever my Dad said, and my Dad would be the last one to let me go, especially if concerned, my mate. I don't think it's because he's against me finding a mate, but rather he feels that a pack is stronger if an Alpha chooses a mate instead. He believes that mates only weaken us. Should we come under attack, I would be more concerned over the safety of my mate and put the safety of the pack at risk. I understood his beliefs. However, I tried to stay positive about the mate bond. I won't lie and say it was easy. Whoever had compelled me had done a good job

The Alpha’s Scorned 144. Epilogue
...BONUS CHAPTER......10 Years Later......Wynter POV...A lot has happened in such a short amount of time. Not long after the merger of our two packs, did more requests come. Alphas far and wide were coming to us in hopes of merging our packs. What had begun as an alliance designed to help strengthen the packs, soon became to act as a Peace Treaty. Each pack we aligned with, were given the same conditions as Crescent Moon. The ranking members would remain in power, so long as they came to myself or Darius for any critical decisions. We had merged with so many packs, that we were no longer separate packs, but one happy kingdom. One of my more recent projects was to create a city devoted to the rehabilitation of rogues. Those that had been rogue would now have the opportunity to reenter pack life once they were deemed to not be a threat. Many of which had already successfully made the transition. Given our extensive reach, we were more easily able to help those in need. We now had en

...Wynter POV...After a lengthy discussion we all came to the unanimous decision to merge with the Crescent Moon Pack. Everyone had very valid concerns for not merging with them, however, I knew Alpha Landon's pleas were genuine. He was only coming to us as it was his only option. Without a merge, his pack could be killed. A fate no Alpha would ever want for their pack. The five of us decided to go over a sort of job description if you will, for Alpha Landon. He would be a valuable resource, but at the same time we couldn't afford to give him too much power. In order to successfully merge the two packs, there had to be one concise leadership. If others felt that they could turn to Alpha Landon for their problems, it could risk a mutiny.So while Alpha Landon would have power, he would have to go through either myself or Darius to make critical decisions. It was the only safe way to merge the packs, while also allowing Alpha Landon a position as well.Before informing Alpha Landon of
The Alpha’s Scorned 142. Merger
...Darius POV...After Wynter and I had finished, we quickly showered and got ourselves ready to meet with Alpha Landon. I was confused as to why he suddenly showed up. But decided not to look too much into it until I had a chance to hear him out.Wynter stayed by my side as we entered my office. Alpha Landon was seated in the chair in front of my desk. However, he stood as Wynter and I entered my office. "Alpha. Luna." Alpha Landon addressed us, bowing slightly.I had walked over to my chair behind my desk. Wynter dutifully followed, and planned on standing behind me. However, Wynter was my Luna and my equal. Whatever Alpha Landon had planned on talking to me about, now involved Wynter. She had just as much say as what happened in this pack as I did. Which meant that I wanted her to be treated as an equal. I reached over to her, and guided her to sit on my lap. I smiled as Wynter quickly obliged my unasked command, and sat on my lap. I kissed the side of her cheek before turning to
The Alpha’s Scorned 141. Confidence
...Darius POV...I awoke to the sounds of birds chirping. I could hear a faint heartbeat nearby and felt an incredible warmth. I opened my eyes to see Wynter lying on top of me. Memories of early this morning began to swim in my mind. I kissed the top of Wynter's head, careful not to move her. She's been running at full tilt ever since she woke up from the hospital. We had nothing pressing that needed to be taken care of, so I decided to just lay here and watch her sleep. I smiled as I remembered our lovemaking from earlier. The feeling was so euphoric. We had both longed for this moment in so long, that it felt like we would never get it. Now that we had the chance, I never wanted this moment to end. Without even trying, Wynter made me the happiest man in the world last night. I began to daydream of our future together. Of Wynter chasing around our pups, as I watched from behind. I pictured myself training our son to fight and to become the next alpha. I pictured Wynter running to t
The Alpha’s Scorned 140. Chameleon
...Wynter POV...As Darius and I continued to run through the woods, I could feel Caedance grow stronger. It was almost as if we were feeding off of our surroundings. The rush was making us stronger. For the first time, I felt truly in control. I had the sudden urge to test my abilities. So far, Darius had managed to not only keep up with me, but he even managed to run past me. I was both stunned and proud. I wanted to perform a few tests of my own. Caedance had given me some suggestions, and I had wanted to see if they would work. Caedance had suggested we try to hide from Asher to see if he would be able to find us. Much to my surprise, he managed to find me each time. Typically when I would try to hide, I would attempt to cloak myself using a mixture of camouflage, similar to a chameleon. I would focus on my surroundings and soon found myself becoming invisible. I had to hide my scent from him as well, which was probably the most difficult task. Each time I had done it, Darius had
The Alpha’s Scorned 139. Carpe Diem
...Darius POV...The air in the room had gone serious as Wynter announced her suspicions. While Wynter and I hadn't had the chance to properly discuss what had happened, we were both suspicious of the outcome. People don't just come back to the dead without being changed. I also can't deny the change I felt inside of me. I had long suspected that I'd been changed, I just wasn't sure exactly how. I already felt far stronger than I already had been. To the point that I often found myself having to dial back my strength. I also felt far faster than I had been. It was as if all of my senses had been heightened. I could now see far better along with smell things from a large distance. I had gone for a run the night I had first woken up after the battle. I had a strong sense of restlessness. The urge to get out quickly became the only thing I could focus on. It was as if my entire body had been electrocuted. Every fibre in my being needed me to go on a run. To get out.I began to have flas
The Alpha’s Scorned 138. No Longer Alone
I felt uneasy as we made our way back to Darius' office. I could tell that Darius sensed that something was bothering me, but refrained from asking me. There was just one thing that I couldn't seem to forget. Once we made it back to the office, we all quickly resumed our positions. Darius sitting beside me, placing a hand on my knee as a sign of comfort. I found myself biting my lip as I continued to chew over the thoughts plaguing my mind.I looked over towards Kenji, waiting for him to restart the meeting. Kenji stood up, but didn't start the meeting right away. My anxiety started to run full-course. Before I knew it, I found myself speaking out."What does this mean for us?" I watched as all heads turned to me. Waiting for me to continue."What do you mean my child?" The oracle asks.I find myself nervously biting my lip. I look at Darius for support. I watch as Darius nods his head for me to continue."Xander had told me that if Darius and I completed our mate bond, that it wo
The Alpha’s Scorned 137. The Truth Comes Out
...Wynter POV..."Upon the seven daughters of the seven daughters, the completed ritual shall activate the rise of the true king. While lightning strikes twice, a proposal shall mark the age of love and become the fall of unholy ones. It shall be when fire burns red, the forgotten princesses face, will trigger the return of the resistance. Once the green sea swallows towns, a challenge shall mark the start of war and witness the return of the fallen. Those in power will bend to one knee, bowing before the lost queen.""So what does that actually mean?" Darius asks."It basically means that one the descendent of the Kazakh wolves finds her true mate. The true king will come about. A moment in time, born out of love, will result in the downfall of the ones unloyal to the couple.""But what about the princess triggering the return of existence?" I ask."Wasn't that when Xander first realized or at least suspected your origins? He constantly tried to keep you away from me." Darius remarks
The Alpha’s Scorned 136. History Lesson
...Darius POV...I was quite possibly the happiest man on earth. The love of my life just said yes to marrying me. She may have already said yes to me once before. But I didn't think it really counted. The first time I hadn't planned on asking her, but I thought there was no better time to do it. I had just shown her how I truly felt about her. No other moment would ever be as special. Even though we were mates, I didn't know for certain if she was going to say yes or not. A proposal isn't ruly a proposal if there isn't a ring. Something I had kicked myself for not having at the time. But it was just so spur-of-the-moment, that I had even surprised myself. While this may not have been the ideal proposal, at least I had a ring for her. I know it would never make a difference to her, but I felt she deserved the best. I wanted to show her how special she was to me. I would make up for my sporadic proposal later this evening. When Wynter was in the hospital, I was continuously plagued by
