Thank you, my lovely readers, for reading this chapter.
“Viktor, go and inform Alpha Tyler that she's awake. Grab something for her to eat from the dinner table while you're at it. I'll take her back to the sick bay, call Kaylee and Katida so that we can run a final checkup on her.”“Okay.”Viktor turned east while Kamala proceeded to lead Lana back to the sick bay. Her shivering stopped, and she eased her tensed body into the comfort of Kamala's touch. Kamala respected the fact that Lana was exhausted and didn't turn to make small talk. She kept silent, supporting her slow pace until they arrived.“Thank you,” Lana uttered. Kamala has been the first to show her kindness and patience. That was to her knowledge.“You are welcome. You are welcome and safe here. No one will hurt you again. I promise you that.”Yeah. Those were the familiar recitation of her best friend every day before he struck that dagger of betrayal into her heart. It would take more than words for her to trust another as blindly as she did with Scott. Nevertheless, she wa
Lana did nothing but tremble while assimilating the series of Katida’s questions. She hated how vulnerable she was. If she wasn’t betrayed, this mere healer of a rogue pack wouldn’t have stood the chance of standing and talking before her. Katida wasn’t a match for her, but all that belonged to the past.The once delicious taste that lingered on her taste bud turned sour. Katida’s venomous voice stung her ears. If only she could stop, she would appreciate that.Thankfully, Kaylee took matters into her hands and shunned her. “Katida, are you crazy? How can you scare her like that? She has been through a lot in one day. Leave the questioning to be done by the Alpha. If you don’t want to help, you can go back to the room. There’s no need of rubbing salt on her--”“I will answer her question,” Lana's sudden low voice caught their attention. “I'm better now thanks to the three of you. The least I can do is answer her question.” Lana's mind was made up. If she kept acting avoiding the situa
“Damn! We knew this moment was unavoidable. Viktor, is that wine remaining? She needs to knock herself up before facing him,” Kaylee suggested.“I don't think so. They have matching energy, and he has been defending her even before she wakes up. He rescued her and made sure we healed her. Tyler wouldn't be harsh. You have nothing to worry about,” Kamala comforted.“You are right. Don't stress. You will live,” Viktor added.Lana felt like she was exposed. Everyone already knew a piece of her. She also read in the atmosphere that they knew she and the Alpha were mates but was careful of that topic. Taking steady breaths, “please, take me to him. It's inappropriate to keep the Alpha waiting.”“And, she has manners,” Kaylee smiled.“Come,” Viktor beckoned.“Before you go, have this.” Kamala handed Lana an extra sweater. “Wear it. The night will be freezing.”“Thank you.” Lana slid the thick fabric over her head, covering her t-shirt with it. She felt warmer and surprisingly more confident
Even the Heavens felt his anger as a bolt of lightning struck across the unsuspecting sky. It was dry, and the weather was mostly windy. Tyler's temper changed that. Rain took over and the wind increased five folds, almost sending the pegs that held the tent away. The flickering light turned off, and the tent became pitch black.It was not an issue for Tyler, as he could see with his wolf eyes. Lana fumbled with her steps because her eyes were ordinary as that of a human. Another reason she hated herself the more. Weak. Powerless and a plaything for anyone who wields even the lowest rank in a pack. That would be the Omega.Lana stepped back until the droplets of rain coming in through the opening of the tent wet her clothes. She didn't mind if that got her away from the closeness of Tyler's glare. The last thing she wanted was to be ripped apart by his fury.“Don't fucking lie to me. Who are you?”“I…me… I have told you,” she whispered. “My name is Lana and that is all that I remember
When she left, Tyler let out a gush of air. The rain had subsided and was only drizzling, but he feared that she will get soaked and catch a cold. Unfortunately, he lost his train of thought and forgot to give her one of his thick jackets. Well, if she caught a cold, there were healers to take care of her.He couldn't believe that he had to fight with his wolf by running his hand over the length of her hair. Her curves were simple yet feminine. Her scent irresistible and her beauty, unique. The more she saw her, he felt it would take less confusion before he gave in and made her his mate.Tyler tucked himself in after placing his gun under his pillow as he stretched his body. Something he did out of habit to fall asleep. Her image filled his head and he was already overriding everyone else's say to keep her. Things didn't work that way for his pack. He had to consult the elders first and get their unanimous agreement. Even though he could single-handedly make all decisions, that would
Lana felt embarrassed at the sound her stomach was making, and she grabbed it, pressing on her stomach with both palms before turning away to look out the window. The area was quiet and lonely. Only dirt and bushes covered its path. An entirely different view than what she was used to. She couldn't complain because it was what she was used to that killed her.She kept staring left and right, taking in the view of tall, scanty trees and rocks. Her mind wanted to try to make a small conversation with Tyler to brighten up the mood, but she lacked courage. What could she possibly say that this handsome man would pick interest in except seeing her as a nuisance? The good thing was that her injuries were rapidly healing and she felt almost nothing. Not even the presence of the stitches. She had noted that too. Fast healing speed since it was her first time being brutally hurt. Other times, her injuries came from knife cuts, scratches, and little things like that. She paid no attention to t
Free Town as the name implies was free. Lana hadn't been to one but heard stories about them in pieces. First hand, she was experiencing it. After the parking area, the second thing to see was a fighting arena, which was a broad slab of concrete about long and just as wide. Probably an old building or an event area of some kind, looking abandoned due to its bad state.Rings were outlined by concrete blocks, and the outside accepted and rejected Shifters having fun and working off steam; those not fighting were cheering, drinking beer, or finding either the weak to taunt or the strong to show off their powers to. Others also smooched and openly made out, reserving the larger show for later.Elijah walked ahead, keeping his focus straight. Tyler followed, holding Lana, but her eyes kept wandering around until they fell on a displeased wolf, who practically undressed her with his eyes. He couldn't do much, smelling Tyler all over her. Inside wasn't any different from outside. Only havi
Tyler didn’t know who the hell the wolf was. Not that he had much of a chance of identification as the Omega landed on Tyler again since he has become the obstacle between him and Lana. The wolf went for Tyler’s throat, and Tyler’s hands turned to that of a wolf, his eyes flashing red with fury. His paws raked across the wolf’s face. The wolf took the blow, landed on his feet, shook himself, and sprang again. Tyler was tired of the game. He didn't want to kill a wolf in Free Town, and that was why he wasn't using all of his power. But, this wolf acted like it wanted death, not to live. He was too violent and reeked of hatred.It was tough to hold himself together, even though he was trying to hold this wolf from killing himself. Unexpected attacks happened once in a while, but between a wolf that knew or had a grudge against the other. Why was this one attacking Lana in the open when she wasn't even a wolf? That question enraged Tyler.He whacked the wolf aside again, spinning aroun
The soft rays of the morning sun painted the room in a warm golden hue as Lana cradled her newborn daughter, Kaylida, in her arms. She was a replica of her father, Tyler but had gotten her mother's hair. She was the best gift to the United pack, loved by all.The little one cooed gently, her tiny fingers grasping at the air. Tyler stood beside Lana, his eyes filled with awe and love for the precious gift they had been blessed with.Nine months had passed since Kaylida's arrival, and the family decided to celebrate by going on a picnic. They invited Kamala, to join them. The tranquility of the pack's garden provided the perfect setting for a relaxing day under the azure sky.As they set up their picnic spot, Lana saw the memorial stand nearby. It bore the names of fallen loved ones: Elijah, Kaylee, Katida, and many others. A wave of bittersweet memories washed over her, and she felt compelled to honor their memory.Lana turned to Tyler, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm glad we decid
Several months later...Months have passed with Tyler and his community doing nothing but rebuilding. He had Kamala brought over to join them. The land has brought together several packs focused on making the King's pack unmatchable.Lana agreed to have everything attributed to her past buried as it was a long time. A few times, she heard from Jack and Alpha Raven.Amid the reimagined Pure Crescent pack, a vibrant tapestry of unity and diversity unfolded. The once desolate lands had transformed into a breathtaking haven of life and serenity. As Tyler and Lana strolled together, their footsteps accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves and the sweet scent of blooming flowers, their eyes beheld the beauty that surrounded them.Fields of wildflowers stretched as far as the eye could see, their colors blending harmoniously, painting the landscape with hues of crimson, gold, and azure. The air was alive with the melodic chorus of birdsong, and the delicate whispers of the wind through t
Afterward, he clasped her against him so tightly, it was to the point of pain. She needed it and wanted him to squeeze her even harder.They had no idea how long they remained like that, hearts thundering together, his hips softly rocking. Hours might have passed. When the now aggressive air began to flog their skin through the open window. "Is there a bathroom here?" Tyler questioned.Lana nodded pointing to the closed door on the left.Tyler didn't pull out. He carried her, with him buried deep in her straight to the bathroom. It was a simple one with a shower head, bathtub, and toilet area which was demarcated by a transparent glass. There was a cabinet with toiletries and towels and a bug full-length mirror.Tyler carried Lana under the showerhead, switching in the water with a free hand. The water from the showerhead began sputtering. Nonchalantly, he gave both of them a rinse without pulling away.Lana giggled, her breathing hoarse. "You do know that we need a proper bath after
Like an addict yearning for her drugs, Lana shuddered as Tyler teased.Once she managed to reach the heavy weight of his cock, he rasped, “Use it.”She rocked her hips up as she pulled his shaft to her. When the head made contact with her pussy, he bit out a curse, his length jerking in her hand. Panting, she ran the crown up and down between her swollen, flaring lips.“So slick,” he growled. “So ready for me.”As she petted her clit with the bulbous tip, his towering body shuddered with need. “Enough teasing. Wanted this too long.”He covered her hand with his own, fitting the crown against her entrance, pressing forward just a fraction. As soon as she knew without any doubt that she was about to have the best moment of her life that has been denied for months, she relaxed.He pulled their hands away, then began easing deeper, wedging the broad head inside. Her gasp was cut off by his lips, hungry and insistent as he sank his cock farther. Each inch forced her to stretch more and mo
The whole place was still in a frenzy as the dead and injured were being carried out. As Lana swayed her hips ahead of Tyler trying to help in whatever way she could, Tyler pulled her aside.Cupping her face with both of his hands, he brushed his thumbs over her cheekbones. “I need you," he whispered against her ears, and his breathing quickened."I need you too," Lana replied. "However, the pack needs us more. We need to put things in place. We have to decide where everyone would settle before we can have our moment," Lana reminded him as she ran her slender fingers through his now lengthy hair.The last thing as having a haircut and trimming his beard has been at the far corner of Tyler's head due to the whole commotion.He burrowed his stare into Lana's eyes, smiling proudly at her. He couldn't believe that he had almost given up such a wonderful soul due to anger. He was beyond glad that they found their way back to each other.With a calm face, he wrapped his hand around Lana's w
As the smoke cleared and the victorious warriors gathered, Lana and Tyler stood on the grand balcony overlooking the battlefield, the weight of their recent triumph heavy on their shoulders. Annik knelt by their side, his eyes reflecting a mix of embarrassment and anger. The gathered wolves, both from the Pure Crescent pack and other clans that had come to their aid, watched with bated breath, their attention fixed on the trio who had emerged triumphant. The wounds of the battle were evident on their bodies, but their spirits burned with newfound hope. With a commanding voice that resonated across the assembled wolves, Tyler spoke, his words carrying the weight of authority and compassion. "Today, we have emerged victorious, not just as separate packs, but as one united force. We have proven that when we stand together, there is no darkness we cannot overcome." A chorus of howls echoed in response, a symbol of unity and agreement from the wolves who had fought valiantly side by side
As Lana and Ryler joined forces to combat Annik, trying to save the fate of their world that teetered on a fragile edge, the strength of the other packs that had joined hands with them increased too. Lana kept striking blows until Annik shoved her hand on the chest, causing her to swerve back. Her gaze locked with Alpha Annik's hauntingly possessed eyes. She clutched her knuckles so right that they turned white. "You ruined the lives of the innocent, and changed fates, so you could have power. Until your head has been fed to the crocodiles, I will not rest!" she promised.Alpha Annik's possessed voice resonated with a sinister undertone, distorted and chilling. "Foolish girl! You cannot comprehend the power that flows through me. Prepare to face your demise!" With a swift motion, Annik unleashed a wave of dark energy, causing the ground to tremble beneath their feet.Tyler, his eyes burning with determination, stepped in front of Lana, shielding her from the brunt of the attack. He g
"Do something!" he roared at the witches.Before they were able to take another step, with agile grace, Tyler launched himself into the fray, his movements calculated and precise. He evaded Annik's frenzied attacks, his keen instincts guiding him through the chaos. Each clash of their fangs and clash of their claws echoed with the weight of their shared history, their former brotherhood.Amidst the battle, Tyler's voice rang out, laced with sorrow and urgency. "I can't believe you did this to me. To our family"Lana who had managed to invade from the east side showed no mercy as her talons dug into the neck of her enemies. With Jack and his sister by her sister, they were in the Sapohore room in no time.With a full blast of wind, "sisters!" Alpha Raven yelled at the three witches, who hissed in disgust."If it isn't our father's favorite daughter, I wonder who it would be?" the witches sneered, turning into a gigantic python.Tyler was invested in his attack on Annik, that he paid li
"Who are we?" The couple burst out laughing.Giving him a gentle push, "Don't be silly, son. Go join your siblings to play. We have an important occasion to attend shortly," his father informed.Tyler couldn't believe his eyes. "I won't take a walk," he announced to his parents who absentmindedly gave him a nod. Whatever they were discussing was more important than their son who wasn't in the mood to play with his siblings.At once, Tyler's spirit in his trance left his body so that he could see the whole of where he was. He remembered the place from his constant nightmare about the fire.In the heart of the countryside, nestled amidst rolling green hills, stood a breathtaking mansion. Its exterior was a vision of elegance, boasting a harmonious blend of classic architecture and vibrant nature. Surrounding the mansion was a meticulously landscaped garden, ablaze with a riot of colors. Blooming flowers of all kinds, their petals delicate and vibrant, adorned the grounds, filling the ai
