Lana came up with an idea to try her luck of avoiding an audience with Annik or her old pack. No matter how she disguised herself, two months and a few days was a short timeframe for them not to recognize her. At first glance, they would instantly know. She wasn't ready to face her past, and coming out now would ruin her plans.Pulling Tyler to the side, she rubbed her temple. “I don't feel so well. Due to the awful sight I took in, I feel sick to my stomach. Can I go back to the packhouse or stay elsewhere while you attend the meeting?”Tyler was already blinded with anger that her words made absolutely no sense. “Why the sudden sickness? Anyway, you do nothing and stay in the car when we get there. I can't let you out of my sight. You traveling separately is not happening.” His tone was harsh and unfavorable. More like, 'I can't deal with this now. Get your act together, woman!'Tyler gave her no room to speak further before storming to the van and taking his seat. Everyone else foll
Tyler signaled three of his men to go check out the source of the noise. Gallantly, they switched their torch flashes on, heading toward the woods. Elijah and others drew their guns. Tyler was unaffected, steady, but ready to snap whosoever dared to head in their direction.The guys shortly returned, shaking their heads negatively. “Just animals playing around. A squirrel is feeding on nuts surrounded by dried leaves,” they reported.Tyler nodded, getting back to what they were doing. Food and drinks were disturbed. “Elijah, have someone make a bonfire. We need to keep this place quiet but illuminated.”“Okay,” he answered, moving away with his plate of meal in his hand. Tyler made sure that everyone settled down before he went back to the car with his plate. “Here, baby,” he handed Lana a plate to hold while he got into the car with three others.Lana got to set the dishes, separating the appetizer from the main meal and dessert. Tyler was already eager to consume his meal. So, as s
“Alpha Herrick, nice of you to show yourself after what you did to my territory.” Tyler was way past pleasantries as he was filled with rage and an urge for retribution. Beside his leg on the floor, as he stepped forward to completely fave Alpha Herrick, one of the masked wolfs who was fighting for his life reached out to Tyler, grabbing his legs. Tyler growled at the weight. With one powerful kick, the wolf flew into the air, landing on the back of a tree. “Don't touch my boots!” he yelled, straightening his shirt in composure.“Oh, someone is angry,” Alpha Herrick mocked. He reached into the pocket of his jacket and retrieved a cigarette and lighter. “So, did you like my present?” He swung his arm to emphasize before lighting his cigarette, pudding the smoke into the air.All this while, Elder Anil and Elder Ryan have been in their van with Levi guiding them. It was a prerequisite ordeal for them not to reveal themselves or interfere, despite what the pack faced. They were to silen
Tilting his head, he ignored Tyler's words. Diverting his attention to the two Elders groaning in pain as his claws dug deeper into their necks. “What happened? Can't run your mouths anymore because a cat got your tongue?”“Let…us…go,” Elder Anil harshly whispered, more blood trickling down her body as the sharp claws of Herrick passed the veil into her neck.Before Tyler could dash for him, he clawed out their throats, tossing their bodies to the ground. Their skins with a little piece of their veins in his hand, Herrick brought his hand covered with blood to his mouth and licked the back, equally tossing what he had to the floor. “Oops. My hands got itching from holding them, so I had to let go. They should never have gotten too close to me.” He stepped backward, giving a little room to the two Elders who wriggled on the floor, holding on to their necks for their dear life. Both Elders clasped their hands around their necks in an attempt to stop the bleeding as they gagged in their
Lana took to her full height, stomping towards Herrick, who was still trying to find the source of her voice. From behind the trees and vans, she emerged, standing directly opposite Herrick.Herrick blinked twice, not believing his eyes. “So, it is true,” he simply said, tossing Tyler's real body to the side. “I will come back for your head,” he assured Tyler, moving to Lana. “The whore lives. It gets better. I have seen a better pussy and mouth to stuff my cock into for the night.” Circling her, he paused and whispered, “do you still remember what it feels like having my full-length inside you? How I mercilessly pounded that pussy, ramming into you until you begged me to stop. Yet, I didn't. I made sure to rip you apart.”Through gritted teeth, “how can I forget,” she responded. Lana wanted to throw a surprise punch at Herrick out of anger, but he caught her hand with ease as if he had anticipated her reaction.“I knew you would do that, whore. So, how did you get them to take you in
Tyler howled, slashing him over the chest. He grabbed his neck, pulling him closer, while Herrick cried out and shook in pain. He was torn between holding his neck and shoulder. “Good luck trying to get into my head. Doesn't work that way. I am way past bullshit like that. Now, shut it!”Spitting on the floor, “I see the same eyes as his. That of a killer. Oh, what would happen if he finds out you exist?” he groaned.His words weren't making sense to Tyler. Who would be surprised about his existence? Laughing, “I have to watch the war. Let me tell you, Tyler,” he slowed down and gagged a little in his blood. “Yes, your forefathers paid tribute to us for a long time before it got to the old Alpha's turn. What you don't know is that he doubled his to make me keep my mouth shut and my hands off you. I have an edge over you and your pack that even you don't know.”Tyler lost interest in his blabbing and pushed him to the floor. “Stay down,” he ordered. Nobody says so much bullshits to sa
Tyler was flying like an eagle hovering around its prey as he dived to strike Levi, who was still staggering to get up. Run? No, he couldn't do that. Taking off would only excite Tyler's hunting instinct to go after him and until he has had his fill, he won't rest about that.Lana angrily punched the tree she had landed on. How could they have left Herrick unattended? One moment he was lying on the floor, crawled out with his white shirt covered in blood, his jeans ruined and his body unconscious. And here she was, seeing that he was gone. This was so bad. Herrick knew her. Knew where she was and who she was with. Meaning that she had to step up her game, as he would definitely try using an exchange of this information about her to gain an ally with Annik.“Tyler, Herrick is gone!” Lana shouted. She did this to get his attention and also distract him.“What?” Tyler froze midway as he almost pierced Levi's heart with the branch. Sneering at him, he tossed the branch to the floor as he s
Her eyes felt betrayed, ringing at that information. How come no one ever told her anything on time?“Yeah, that's it,” Kaylee added.“If he's their child, why isn't he Alpha?” Even though Lana didn't truly understand the hierarchy for the selection of an Alpha in packs as its protocol differed depending on each pack, the most natural way was through birth. A child of the Alpha and Luna's occupies the throne when they're gone.“Because he was born an Omega,” Kaylee explained.“And because he killed his mum during childbearing,” Katida added.“How's that any of his fault? It should take away his heritage.”“It would be for our pack. His case was the first of its kind. Although our Alpha position wasn't restricted to the Alpha household but extended to as far as anyone who fit the requirement for the position, the Alpha household still had an advantage. It made it double easy if you're from the lineage, born as an Alpha, and met a bit of that requirement. Then, you would occupy that posi
