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

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

"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

...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

...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

...Darius POV...I could tell that Wynter was in the midst of a panic attack. I had tried to calm her down by letting her know we were safe, but it was like her mind couldn't comprehend what I was saying to her, which is when I realized that I needed to act fast. If I didn't do something now, then she may pass out from the stress. Her mind was trying to put up a guard. It was trying to warn her of danger, but little did she know she was actually safe. I knew a bit about panic attacks, which is why I did the only thing I could think of. I launched myself at her and kissed her with every fibre of my being. I could feel my need for her coming out in this kiss. The kiss was unlike any others we've shared. It was filled with urgency and desperation. At first, she didn't respond to my kiss. But once she did, I knew she'd be ok. Her response showed that her mind had no idea what to do with how I reacted and instead released its hold over her. I leaned away from her shortly after. I looked i

...Wynter POV...I could feel my mind spinning from all the new information. Is everything he said true? Did I really do that? Did I really kill all those people? Perhaps Alpha Xander was right all along. I am the monster. Darius had wrapped his arm firmly around me, but I couldn't stay there any longer. It felt like the room was closing in on me. I couldn't breathe, but worst of all. It felt like all of this was my fault. Before Darius could figure out what was happening, I stood up and ran from his embrace. I ran out of the room and into the hall. Both Darius and Kenji were quick on my heels, which only encouraged me to go faster. I could hear alarms going off, but I paid no attention to it. I needed to find my way out of here. I continued to run down the halls, searching for any sign of an exit. Finally, a stairway came into view. I entered the stairway and jumped down the middle, landing on my feet. I had crouched down just before hitting the ground and jumped up and continued to

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
