"Like seriously?" But Sterling was forced to cover his brother's mouth when Kyler spoke louder than he should have. " Are you talking about escaping?""Yes," he said, keeping a close eye on the room's entrance. "He leaves the door open anytime he comes in. I'm going to bite him hard when he gets inside and not let go, so you guys have to run."Sterling, how about you?" Lucas let out a whine. "We're not going to leave you here.""I'll be behind you guys," the approaching footsteps said. "Run as fast as you can and do as I say."The room's door opened and they nodded. The scent he was giving off told Sterling it would be the same man from the morning before. He walked in, leaving the door ajar, and fixed his gaze on the boys. As he set the tray down, Sterling knew that that was the best moment. As he met the man's gaze and looked down, he saw that his legs were bare and that he was dressed in shorts. He lunged at the man, grabbed his shin, and bit it without thinking. Since Sterling ha
I was taken aback when I heard what he said. I turned to him, intrigued, and wondered how he managed to keep it a secret for so long. Although, I had a feeling that Caiden had noticed it earlier. However, I decided not to reveal anything and changed the topic."How did you find out?" I asked, furrowing my brow.He kept walking swiftly, avoiding the trees, and replied, "I can detect it, even in your human form. I learned about bloodlines in a specialized course. Your characteristics confirm that you are an omega." He continued towards a large cliff.I sadly added, "Other werewolves say my scent is like that of humans.""It's because their inner vision is limited," he said caressing my cheeks with his thumb. "Within you lies a sleeping wolf."However, it had been so long since I sensed that presence that I thought my wolf had vanished for good. It was no longer a possibility.With confidence, he remarked, "Kamara, she'll wake up when the time is right. Your wolf will awaken when you nee
Nate answered, "Everyone in this city is aware that Enzo is your beta."Caiden remarked, "Well, no matter what everyone knows, I'm beginning to have doubts about him. Bruno won't mind if you come to work for me, either."With gleaming eyes, Nate turned to face Caiden, still not quite believing that this was happening.He said, "You have no idea who I am, Alpha," and Caiden narrowed his eyes at him. "Why me?"Nate shrank back as Caiden grasped his shoulder, saying, "You seem like someone I can trust, you also seem like a respectful person. You wouldn't dare betray me, would you?With a smile, the man appeared to consider Caiden's words carefully.In the end, he remarked, "Tell me, Nate: are you willing to work with me on a challenging and dangerous mission?"He answered without hesitation, "I accept, Alpha. Where do we begin?."Caiden smiled and said, "Good. We'll begin with a short and private induction ceremony."******A long-kept mystery that was unknown to werewolves and humans al
Louis's behavior caused shivers down my spine for some reason. But if I was going to find my kids, I was going to have to put my trust in him.I thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Alpha. I'm not going to stay long."Alpha Stourin simply glanced at me before quietly withdrawing. Everywhere I went, I felt like I was drawing problems like a magnet. My entire life has been one of being unwanted by everyone. I left where I was, and Louis quickly followed."You were aware that he wouldn't welcome me here," I remarked, looking annoyed. "And why the hell did you tell him you would go with me?"He met my gaze and saw the expression on my face, saying, "I know you feel like you're alone in this, Kamara, but you're not. You'll need to have faith in me as I help you in finding your kids."****Making sure no one would overhear them, Caiden and Nate chatted in the car as they left the police station together. He was aware that the choice he was going to make would cause his marriage to Jessie and hi
Enzo was stunned. It felt as though a nuclear bomb had just landed in front of him and was about to detonate. It took long for him to actually take it in and process it. Caiden had to be kidding.He angrily remarked, "You can't fucking do this. Caiden, our friendship dates back to our early years. My dad used to work for your dad, and I currently work for you. I can make amends and we can start afresh."He turned his back on his best friend and stated icily, "Yes I can do it and I have done it. Nate will be ruling the pack alongside me as the beta from now on. You no longer work with me."Enzo looked at the clerk, who was unable to look him in the eyes, and lowered his head. Enzo was aware that Caiden's choice was the biggest source of embarrassment for him.He wouldn't give up lightly, though."Are you putting an office clerk in my place now?" It was clear from his expression that he was offended. "You're replacing me with a fucking stranger?""I will no longer debate over this, Enzo
"Jessie, what you're asking me to do is ridiculous," he said angrily. "How could you suggest that?""Enzo my reputation and position are on the line. Do you know what the pack will say or do upon learning that someone else took your place?""I don't give a fuck about all that," he declared, detonating everything in his path like an atomic bomb. "When will you care more about how I'm feeling and less about what other people think?"She recoiled and even made an attempt to go close to her brother before giving up. It was obvious that someone had to be reasonable there, and Enzo was no longer acting rationally.Enzo finally came to a conclusion. Jessie tried to stop him by running toward him as he moved back toward the exit."Where are you going, Enzo?" He was forced to look into her eyes as she stopped him by pulling his arm.He bared his fangs and said, "I'm going to find Kamara. And I'll complete the task I began seven years ago once I get her. I swear she's going to pay for everythin
One of the men got out of the van and moved to the back. This time, before removing the kids from the van, he blindfolded them with four pieces of fabric. Sterling could smell the area as soon as he stepped inside. Trees rustling in the wind. He knew they were still in the forest, but it was now colder and moist than it had been before. There were no nearby waterways, and the bird songs were different here.The blindfolds came off as they were tossed to the ground and heard the lock being locked. There was no mattress for them to lie on, and the room was twice as small as the last one. The smell was awful, and there was a dead rat in the corner of the wall that was starting to decompose.Lucas approached Sterling and touched his lips, looking at him in amazement."Is something wrong?" With a start, Sterling inquired, observing that Noah and Kyler were wearing identical looks of amazement."The wound is healed," he uttered in a shaky voice. "It vanished as though it had never been."Whe
Louis, who was amused by my conclusion, chose to remain silent. Louis realized that by taking this route, we would not be able to arrive at our destination for more than two days as we strolled through the forest's northern flank, avoiding every area we could possibly invade. It was nearly daybreak when we spotted the cottage.With optimistic eyes, I surveyed the area.I wished my kids were still there. As I hurried to the spot, I discovered the door ripped off and darkness had descended upon the area, contrary to my hope that I would find them as soon as I passed through the door. On top of that, when I yelled my boys' names, all that could be heard was the echo of my voice. There were just a few rooms in the tiny cottage, but when I walked into the fourth one, my heart stopped. Hundreds of other smells filled the room, yet I could still smell my kids. A piece of cloth rested on the tattered old mattress. As I hurried over, I realized it was a piece of Lucas's cloth. I sobbed whil
When Kamara finally made it to the pack, she was taken aback by how much was going on. Caiden was welcomed with open arms by all, and she was no different. She refused to let another second pass before resolving their differences since she had been waiting too many days for this. The children were holding on to her skirt as she walked there. In addition, she had trouble getting through the front door, but security let her in right away."Miss Kamara, the Alpha is meeting with Alpha Stourin from the Mystic Moon pack," Oscar said with a big smile.She sighed in frustration and said, "Okay, I'll wait.""I will be defying an edict from Alpha Caiden if I permit this." He took Kamara by surprise. "You may go in; he gave the order for you and the children to be permitted to enter the main room whenever you please.""Oscar, are you sure?" He nodded, and she gave him a wide, eager look. "If that's the case, I'll ask you to watch the kids while I talk with Caiden. Are you cool with that?"Oscar
Caiden did not want to discuss what had transpired with Jessie. Caiden had not been inside the old house since the day the complete truth about her was uncovered, and he slept in the main building. He would occasionally catch himself thinking about it, the anxiety he experienced about staying there, all by himself, and full of memories.Before long, word of his split from Jessie reached every other pack of wolves. All the young ladies in the several packs, who came from strong families, were eager to mate the alpha who was single at the moment.Something wasn't right when Lisa walked into the room that morning and noticed Caiden sitting on the couch with large dark bags under his eyes."You haven't left this place since Jessie was put in jail."She looked about the room, noting that it wasn't quite as disorganized as it had been that day. "Caiden, what's going on?"After giving Lisa a quick glance and finishing the last swallow of brandy, he got up."I'm not this way because of Jessie,
Caiden did nothing but watch as Nate carried Kamara off. They had a lot on their minds, but Caiden had other things on his mind that needed to be addressed, and one of them was in front of him."Did the Alpha stay to hear my final word?" Enzo gave him a sad, indifferent look. He had clearly been confronted by Kamara's statements.He said, "You are banished from the Moon Howlers pack," but Enzo wasn't shocked. "And I'll make sure no pack on the planet welcomes you into their ranks if, by some chance, you ever manage to escape from prison."While Jessie whimpered once again, unable to even protect herself, Enzo swallowed hard. Matt was waiting for this moment with great anticipation when he emerged from the prison area.He leaned against the car and watched Caiden do the same, saying, "What occured in there was a tough one. Your town's residents don't seem to think good of me.""Your scent draws them in. Besides, the pack is not accustomed to human visitors, and none of them know you as
The modest police station was suddenly filled with a heavy quiet. Trying to see how Kamara would respond to Enzo's account, Caiden watched her closely, but she remained silent.Jessie looked at Enzo within the cell, stunned. How far would he go in his quest for vengeance to the point where he would openly lie to Kamara about their own history?"Enzo, what kind of madness is this?" Jessie asked, but her brother seemed dead serious from the look on his face. "Is Kamara really our sister?""I did say she was our sister," he said, clenching his teeth in a vile manner. "She is my sister. Indeed, I have been dealing with this psychosis ever since I learned of our father's adultery."Kamara found it hard to accept this as reality. Her legs began to weaken as well."You're saying this only to cause me pain," Kamara's heart burned in her chest as tears filled her eyes. "My parents loved each other, they would never do such a thing.""Kamara, you were only a child when they passed away." Enzo s
Jessie, for one, had obviously not come to that realization yet. Alone with herself in a damp, cold confinement like an animal, she had no company except herself. They just allowed Caiden to occupy her mind. Her wolf would not stop howling, and she knew one thing for sure: she could not go on without the greatest love of her life.She heard footsteps hurrying toward her. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought that it might be a remorseful Caiden coming to her aid, but her shocked expression proved she was wrong.When Enzo was pushed inside, he yelled out in agony. Jessie showed contempt for her own brother and did nothing to assist him. She secretly thought that he was the only one to blame for her horrible misfortune. If Jessie hadn't given in to his insanity, all of this could have been prevented.Enzo held back, leaning against the wall and feigning not to be in pain when he saw Jessie there. He said, "You're not surprised to see me, are you?" without irony or derision this time.
In the dark jungle, the wolves howled. Nearly all visibility was obscured by a dense mist within a meter's radius. The only thing that Enzo could see clearly was what the moon was shining through the cracks in the trees. He was directed by the sounds and noises of the forest to avoid the impending peril.Following Jessie's capture and humiliation in front of the pack, Enzo was relentlessly pursued. A sizable payment had been offered by Caiden to the hunter who caught his ex-partner's brother. Hunters from all over began looking for the precious fugitive as soon as word got out.Enzo was aware that he wouldn't be able to go very far, especially without somebody to protect or assist him in getting away. When he made the decision to flee, abandoning Jessie in pursuit of his irrational retribution, he had sealed his doom.There would be no mercy or revenge now.He hurried through the dark woodland, desperate to get away, and stumbled into a trap. Enzo broke his femur because the fall was
Caiden had no time to be sorry. Lisa was worried about him, but the alpha was preoccupied with distracting himself from the pain of realizing that his wife had deceived him. He still had thoughts and pleasant recollections of a life he had shared with Jessie, so it was obvious that it hurt. But he'd made up his mind not to feel bad. He prepared to leave for the Full Moon pack in order to see his kids, packing his little luggage. He had to go on because of the children. Only a few hours had passed since Alpha Cornelius' departure, and Caiden was already tracing his steps back."Are you sure you'll be fine?" Lisa was concerned. "Mom, I'm okay," he said, giving her a tender hug. "It's going to be a quick journey. I'll be back before morning." He cast a sorrowful glance into her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Caiden," she said, kissing his cheek. "You're not supposed to feel bad." He remarked, moving aside. "You were the only one who warned me that Jessie wasn't the best choice for me." He put
Had Jessie come to terms with the fact that it was a result of her troubled background, maybe her heart would not have hurt so deeply. Tears filled her eyes as she gazed at Caiden, wishing it was all a nightmare. She had never anticipated being in this kind of moment. Jessie was being rejected by the alpha man she loved.She slid to his feet and gripped him, pleading with him, "Caiden, please don't do this. I can redeem myself, but I beg you not to leave me."Jessie was humiliated, and Alpha Caiden loudly and forcefully reacted, making her let go and ignoring her cries for forgiveness. She held his kid within her, yet there was no way he could forgive her."You will face the most severe punishment imaginable for what you have done." His words, "and I wish never to see or hear from you again," caused Jessie's eyes to widen in terror. They also left her thoughts troubled.She was still in disbelief after hearing his words, which kept repeating in her head and did not let her sleep: "I c
Jessie gave the man in front of her a nod. He smelled so strong it was nearly too much for her to bear. But even though she was sick to her stomach, she forced a smile and walked up to the man.He gave a cold shoulder in return. Wearing combat boots caked in dry mud that tracked filth everywhere it went, he sported a checkered shirt. She studied the human for a moment, whose name escaped her, then turned to pretend not to be overwhelmed and smiled at Caiden."Caiden, why is this man here?" Within the pack, a rule stated that unless the Alpha himself disclosed it, no human visitor could be aware that the city was home to werewolves. Everyone had to pretend to be normal as a result.Caiden suppressed a deep impulse to punish Jessie at that moment. His thoughts was still troubled by the accused's remarks. The mastermind behind the quadruplets kidnapping was Jessie. "Matt is a detective in the city and a very good friend of Nate's." Then he had to close his eyes and take a deep breath. "H
