The Alpha’s Scorned 71. Vision
...Darius POV...I touched the ground around where Wynter was. I needed to figure out what had happened. I could tell from the strong scent in the air that she was here. Not only that, but she was afraid. I felt absolutely helpless. Almost as if my body was possessed, I could feel my hand go to the base of the tree. My eyes ran to the back of my head as images started to unfold in my mind. I could see Wynter running for her life. She'd been shot multiple times and had recently shifted out of her wolf form. Her perfect body was covered in blood and bullet holes. But from the looks of her injuries, these were basic bullets that she had been shot with. I could see black veins rung through her body which only happened from silver injuries. Her skin had paled significantly, and purple bruises could be seen throughout her body. Especially near the bullet wounds, which meant the bullets had to have been laced with wolfsbane.I was absolutely livid. Who could do something like this to her? S
The Alpha’s Scorned 72. Assault
...Wynter POV...When I woke up, my head was groggy. My vision was spinning, making it difficult to identify where I was. I tried to sit up but found it virtually impossible, which is when the events from earlier began to run through my mind. I remember the mercenaries tracking me down and shooting me. Then running me over with their car. I lift my head to examine my legs. The bleeding had stopped, at least. However, the bones were still fractured. I may have advanced werewolf healing, but no amount of healing could realign my bones and put the pieces back together. I would need surgery in hopes of resetting my legs. Then my healing would be able to take over to help speed up the process.I lean back down, knowing that I have no chance of getting out of here anytime soon."Ahh... look who's finally awake." I hear someone call out. I turned my head over to see that someone had entered the room. I have no idea where I am; nothing looks familiar. If I had to guess, I must be in a baseme
The Alpha’s Scorned 73. Lost & Found
...Darius POV...The trackers made it to us in record time. Kenji had thought ahead and made sure that we used the trackers from his sister's pack. By doing so, everything would remain discreet. I was happy that I had Kenji with me right now. He was my rock when it felt like my world was ending. He was keeping me grounded and doing everything possible to reunite me with my mate. I would have to thank you after this. Same with his sister. Her pack has become vital to my mate's safety, that I don't know what I would do without them. I would have to talk to Ayira's mate to discuss an alliance. But for now, my focus was on finding Wynter.Directly after the trackers arrived, we went in a few vehicles to track her scent. Trackers have a special ability to find even the weakest of smells. One of the trackers managed to lock onto Wynter's scent. We were driving along the highway, following her scent.For the first time in a while, I felt hopeful. If my dad were behind this, he definitely wou
The Alpha’s Scorned 74. Healer
We arrived at the Moon Stone pack in record time. Wynter was still unconscious, however, I was glad for that. She had been through hell and back. Her body needed time to heal itself. I was still amazed to find her in the condition that I had. I thought for sure that I had lost her. From the injuries I had seen, there's no way she should even be alive right now. However, I will take the miracle for all it's worth. I don't even want to begin thinking what would've happened to her had she not been able to heal the way she did. Or what would've happened if they had done anything else to her.My heart broke just thinking of it. I never realized I had longed for her until I thought I had almost lost her forever. She's my reason for living, the light in my darkness. I don't understand why my father seems hell-bent on thinking that Wynter is this monster that will become the human embodiment of death and destruction. I know Wynter's heart, and it's as pure as it can get. I think I need to ta

...Kenji POV...I was absolutely livid. I couldn't believe someone would do this to her. And for what? She's done nothing to incite this type of wrath from anyone. It was nothing more than a witch hunt.Just like Darius, I was also curious about this prophecy. None of us knew anything about it, other than what Wynter had told us. Even then, we both knew that she wasn't too sure about what it really meant either. It's difficult to be impartial to something you're being told.I left Darius in the guest room and headed to the Alpha's office. My sister had mind-linked me earlier that she wanted me to meet her and her husband there after I had gotten Darius settled. I wasn't sure what they wanted to meet about, but I was sure it was probably important.I knock on the door, before entering the office. Being a Beta means that I need to stay professional at all times, especially while on other pack grounds. Just the smallest misdoing or miscommunication could spark a war. No one wanted to fig
The Alpha’s Scorned 76. Blood Oath
"If she truly is a tribrid, that would explain so much." Vincent says."Like what?""Like why several mercenaries were hired to kill her.""Wait.. what? Mercenaries? How do you know for sure?""All mercenaries are either rogue-born or ex-pack warriors. They are rogues for hire that have no moral ground. They will accept any contract. The only thing they ever care about is money. We were able to identify them through their strong wild scent. It's a smell most rogues have, however, Mercenaries are typically more subtle, as it allows them to enter a pack without being detected."I nod my head in response. I never knew about that. I had heard about Mercenaries, but never knew that they had a specific smell that trackers would be able to identify."Who hired them?" Kayden asks. Without hearing their response, I have a feeling I know who."We haven't managed to identify that part yet. We managed to find communications between their client, and them that showed that whoever had hired them wa
The Alpha’s Scorned 77. Caged
...Darius POV...I took a shower and got changed after Kenji me in the room. I knew I should try to sleep and get something to eat, but I just couldn't. My entire being was on edge. Until Wynter was brought back to me, I would continue to be on edge. Both my wolf and I missed her. She's barely been in my life, and already I'm wrapped around her baby finger. I just hope there's more time for us down the line. It would completely devastate me if she didn't make it out of this. No matter what anyone would try to say to me, I would know it was my fault and my fault alone for what happened to her. I should've taken her fear more seriously. I knew Wynter was far stronger than words could even describe. I had just thought that she'd be safe with me.I walked over to the window when the beautiful smell of sandalwood and vanilla began to wash over me. There were subtle notes of Jasmine that my nose could detect as well, which told me one thing. She must be nearby. I spun around to head to the
The Alpha’s Scorned 78. Frenzy
...Wynter POV...When I woke up, I felt completely at ease. I wasn't sure where I was or how I even got here, but I felt safe. Something I hadn't felt for a really long time. I turned around to see that I was laying in Darius' embrace. He held me close to his chest as he slept. He looked so at peace that I didn't want to disturb him.I leaned my head against his chest, and just enjoyed this moment. I listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat and let his scent wash over me. I could hear Caedance purr in my mind from his smell. It was sheer bliss. A feeling I wish would never end.Slowly, Darius began to stir. I reached up, and placed my hand along his cheek, turning his gaze to meet my own. Neither of us said anything, rather we just let ourselves enjoy the moment.After a few moments, Darius leaned his head down, to place a gentle kiss on my lips. He pecked my lips several times until I felt my urge for him become overwhelming. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him clo
