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
The Alpha’s Scorned 75. Ferir
...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

...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
The Alpha’s Scorned 79. Inner Strength
...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
The Alpha’s Scorned 80. Agony
...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 81. No Turning Back
...Darius POV...The moment Kenji told us that she had killed the men that had taken her, I knew something was going to happen. I just wasn't prepared for what. When I felt Wynter pull away from me, I knew I had to try to find a way to stop her. Without knowing what she was thinking, I had a feeling I knew what was running through her mind. She had just connected the dots between the prophecy and her role within it. Up until now, none of us truly believed in the prophecy. While I'm not saying I do now, I also can't say that it's not a possibility.What she did back there only proves that she really does have the ability to become the monster that my dad believes her to be. The one thing running through my mind on repeat is that what had happened was a result of her body trying to protect her. Kenji specifically said that it was self-defence. She had truly been pushed far beyond her limits. To the point that she's only living right now because of her tribrid nature. If she was just a w
