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 19. Liftoff
After I left my dad's office, I ran down the hallway and directly to my room, mind linking Kenji along the way.'We did it, Ken! My father agreed to let us go!' 'Sweet! So when do we leave.' He asks.'Within the hour.' I state, rummaging through my closet, for things that I'll need during the trip.'What? Are you nuts? Genesis will have my balls if I tell her I'm leaving with such short notice.' He remarks, sounding pissed.'Hey. You were the one that volunteered to come. You had more than enough notice. It's not my fault you didn't tell her earlier.' I state, showing no compassion. Why would I? He knows how important this is to me. He also knows that I'll go with or without him, so he doesn't have time to doddle.'Come on, man..' Kenji says, attempting to make me sympathize with him.'Sorry, but it won't work. You know how important this is to me. You can either come or stay. I won't mind either way. But I'm going, and I'll be leaving at 5 pm sharp.' I say, cutting the mind link.I
The Alpha’s Scorned 20. Let's Get Ready to Rumble
...Wynter POV...For some reason, I could feel my wolf on edge for the past couple of days. She was so anxious that I couldn't stay in one place. I felt like a dog that spins around in a circle trying to catch its tail. My mind was continually spinning. I felt the urge to go to random parts of town, and I had no idea why. I decided to visit the underground fight club later in the evening in hopes of wearing off some steam. I didn't frequent the club that often, typically only when Caedance my wolf was on edge. I knew going to the club was dangerous; however, I became addicted to the adrenaline rush. It was the only thing that really helped prevent feeling the loss of Darius. In the meantime, I walked aimlessly around town, not knowing where my wolf was taking me. It was as though she had a destination in mind but wasn't sure how to find it. I didn't mind too much, as it was a beautiful sunny day out. It was absolutely gorgeous out. The type of weather that encourages you to stay out
The Alpha’s Scorned 21. Pricier Side
...Darius POV..."So, where do you want to start?" Kenji asks me, just as the plane is landing. "Well, I thought that we could go to the apartment first, and get settled, then I was going to work on searching some of the nearby packs." I say."Wait.. apartment?" Kenji asks."Yes, an apartment. Did you really think that I would come all the way here to stay in a hotel for who knows how long?" I ask sarcastically."Well... most people do." He says, making it seem like I'm the weird one."I guess I'm just realistic." I say, sounding slightly defeated."What do you mean?" Kenji asks."Well, as much as I would love to find her and take her back to the pack with us, we both know that isn't an option. Her parents would definitely come after us for kidnapping. Plus, how do I explain to both her and her parents that I'm her mate in the first place? They would think I'm crazy. Since she hasn't shifted yet, she won't be able to acknowledge the bond between us. So until she turns sixteen, it wou
The Alpha’s Scorned 22. Instincts
We had only been in the apartment for a few hours, and already I felt my wolf on edge.'Asher! Calm down. Can you just relax already?' I ask him.'Mate! I can feel, mate!' He said in my mind.'What do you mean you can feel her?' I ask.'I don't know. I don't know where she is, but I can feel her presence.' He says.I don't even know where to begin with that.'So what do you want me to do? Would it help if we went for a run?' I ask him.'Perhaps. It's worth a shot anyway.' He replies to me.'I'm letting you know right now that I'll only give us one hour for a run. I'm not running across the entire country just because you can feel her.' I state.'Whatever. Just go already.' He says to me.I quickly end the mind link before he attempts to make any further snarky remarks. I grab a pair of loose-fitting jogging shorts and a black t-shirt from my bag and quickly get changed. I send a quick mind link to Kenji, letting him know that I'm going for a run. I need him to stay here so that way he
The Alpha’s Scorned 23. Fight
After explaining everything that had happened to Kenji, we both sat in silence, wondering what to do next. Asher had been whimpering in my head the moment I decided to head back. He wanted us to stay by her side, but I knew I couldn't do that. I need to respect her privacy and give her space. I would wait a lifetime if it meant that I would get to have her in my arms. I find myself growling all of a sudden. I began to pace the floor. Kenji stood up, looking at me."What's wrong?" He asked."I don't know. I think Asher's trying to take control. He wants to go back to our mate." I say as I find myself fighting with Asher for control of my own body."Asher! Stop! You don't need to do this!" Kenji calls to my wolf, making me spin to look at him.Kenji took a step back from me, and I can only guess why. My gaze locks onto the mirror behind him, where I see a distorted mix of both human and wolf. My face is human, with wolf eyes and teeth. My claws have even come out. So I can understand K
The Alpha’s Scorned 24. Panic
...Wynter POV..."What's going on? Where am I?" I ask, not remembering what happened.I don't know where I am, but I feel incredibly comfortable. Almost as if I was relaxing on a cloud. A warm cloud, more specifically. I felt myself snuggle closer to the warmth. I felt a light and gentle caress on my forehead that made me purr. I couldn't believe that I was actually purring. But I couldn't deny how good I felt right now. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe.I so badly wanted to become lost to this feeling. If I was dreaming, I definitely didn't want to wake up from this dream. I was in sheer bliss.I slowly opened my eyes to find a beautiful pair of azure blue eyes staring back at me. I felt my heart quicken the moment our eyes found each other."Mate!" I heard someone call out.I looked around, trying to figure out where that voice had come from. As I sat up, I felt myself become dizzy and quickly laid back down."Where am I?" I ask, palming my forehead as I close my eyes,

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
The Alpha’s Scorned 143. The Alpha's Luna
...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
