Raphael Stars...I looked down at the bloody mess left at boarder of the woods behind the main pack house.Anger rushed through me at the sight of one of my warriors brutally murdered."Who do you think did this?" Silver asked, looking better than I thought he would be after what had happened with Luca last night."Isn't it obvious?" Maxwell replied. "It's clearly payback from Alpha Landor."Crossing my arms across my chest, I roamed my eyes through the woods to see if there were anymore rouges around here.If it were any other day, there would have been a few running around in their wolf forms, hunting small animals and ignoring our existence.But now, I couldn't hear a thing.There were no paws drumming against the ground, no pants or growls of wolves and certainly no other hunting movements.The rouges were gone and it was obvious that the rouge Alpha Landor had pulled them back before he attacked one of my men and butchered him like a pig and left him for me to find.Th
Mina Wolf...I glanced up at the small window at the top corner of the cell and saw that it was close to sun down.Today, no one came to get me. Beatrice didn't show up like she always does to come get me so I could assist the omegas with their works. I guess it was because I tried to run away and they didn't want to risk it again. I get it.Pulling the blanket up to my chin, I wrapped it around myself and looked out of the cell through the bars of the door.Last night, after Beta Silver had brought me the best meal I've had since I was kidnapped before he left, I had tried to go back to sleep but it wasn't easy. I'd struggled to go to sleep and when I had finally succeeded on falling asleep, I was woken up with that horrible pain once more.Mika was really not stopping himself from hurting me. And the rest of the night, I was left to drown in my own dispair, tears and pain.When the pain finally stopped, I was left on the ground a whimpering mess and
Okla and I walked beside each other silently, a safe distance between us.She knew the way to the two silver poles better that I do. I could try to find it myself by following the direction Raphael took the day he chained me to the silver poles, but that day was too blurry that I'm certain I won't be able to find it."I'm sorry about last time." Okla whispered and I chanced a glance at her.She was looking straight ahead but I could tell that she was feeling really bad about something."What are you talking about?" I asked, keeping my voice low so I wouldn't alert that large man following behind us.Okla looked over her shoulder at the warrior before she returned her eyes to me. "If I knew about the rouges, I would have stopped you. I swear, I didn't know about the arrangements with the rouges because I don't go out for a run. I only found out yesterday." I looked at Okla and I could tell that her words were genuine."It's okay." I whispered but Okla shook her head."It's not okay.
Raphael Stars...My mind was traveling a million miles per second. Too much has been going on and I don't know which one I should give my attention to.After we found one of my warriors corpse, I took a few hours to think my next move and the only thing I could come up with was sending words out for Alpha Landor. It was an invitation to come to my pack so we could have a conversation like adults and not kill each other's wolves as sport.Because if I was to retaliate by hunting rouges down the it would mean an active war between our two packs.I had a lot on my mind.Haden's daughter, Silver's attraction to her, Luca's disgusting behaviour, my father's attitude towards Beatrice and now the rouge Alpha.I already knew that if he accepts the invitation, the next few days are going to be difficult.I did what I do best and kept to myself in my study, looking through the packs finances and other none member related issues.The send off ceremony worried me. I knew that I
Mina Wolf...I stepped backwards until my back hits the surface of the door.The large man standing in front of me tilted his head to the side as he assessed me, running his dark eyes up and down my entire body.His tongue peeked out to wet the corner of his lips."What's your name, sweetness?" He asked as he reached for his shirt and pulled it over his head, revealing scarred and heavily inked skin.I turned around and tried the door nob, aggressively twisting at it to open the door. But it didn't work.Gamma Luca had locked it from the out side.Turning back to the room, I stayed frozen in my spot with my back firmly pressed to the door.My panicked moves caused the man to bark out a hideous laugh."Nowhere to run?" He mockingly asked with another following laugh.Once he was done laughing, he trained his eyes on me and lifted his index finger to gesture me to come closer to him.I stayed by the door, wishing I could sink through it."Come here." The man ordered, his vo
Raphael Stars...Anger was boiling my body as I sat in my study, my elbows leaned against the edge of the desk.Waking up this morning to find the rouge Alpha Landor in my home was one thing. To have him sit around my dining table and suggest a night with Haden's daughter was another.As soon as he'd asked the question, my answer was no and it continued to be no through out the horrible breakfast. Landor did not back down from asking a night with her.'I will break her good for you.' He said.'She won't be the same after I'm done with her.' He said.Each time he spoke about her, my anger rose. The feral wolf in me stirred uncomfortably in my chest, adding more to my irritation.'You killed three of my wolves for Haden's daughter. I deserve to have my way with her.' He had tried to argue. 'I won't kill her. I'll make sure she lives to tell the tale of how it was to spend the night under a rouge.'That had been the last straw.I'd slammed my fist in to the dining table, lea
Mina Wolf...My eyes hurt at the intensity of my tears that refused to stop.Hours. I cried, sobbed, hated my existence for hours.I stayed rolled up in the two blankets without moving for those hours.Even when my tears finally dried up, I couldn't get myself to move.My muscles were aching at being balled up for hours and my entire body was screaming at me.The side of my face was throbbing and I could still taste blood in my mouth. The spots where the man had grabbed me were stinging. I was certain bruises have already formed on my pale skin.No one came to my cell but at some part of the day, maybe a little while after Raphael left me, I did hear the dungeon door opening and a few footsteps entering.But the footsteps echoed away from my cell until I couldn't hear them any longer.A few footsteps returned before they walked up the stairs and left.I briefly wondered what was going on. Last I checked, no one was in this dungeon other than me.Throughout the entire day,
I stood under the warm water as it sprayed down on me.With my head tilted back and my eyes closed, I tried to let the water wash away all my worries and stresses.The small splatters of the water caused discomfort to one side of my face, the one that was badly bruised.It was close to Lunch hour when Beatrice came to check on me again and she'd found me in the same spot, curled up in to a ball, shivering under the two blankets.This time, she didn't ask me to get up. She looked at the plastic bag and when she realized that I hadn't touched it, she grew angry.I didn't get to protest as she walked over to me and grabbed me by the arm to drag me out of the cell.My strength was no match to hers. She pulled me out of the dungeons as if I was a child caught doing something naughty.I tried to shake her grip away from my arm but she was not having any of it. I'd held on to the two blankets while Beatrice pulled me towards the main pack house. I'd kept my head low the whole way there, m
Mina Wolf...I looked outside of the window, hoping to catch the sight of the moon. My heart was thundering in my chest.I reached up and pressed my hands against my chest, feeling how wild my heart was drumming.Today is the day.Dropping my hands, I looked towards the mirror.Dressed in a floor length, sleeveless green dress and my hair falling around me, I looked ready for my mating ceremony.This scenario felt quite familiar. But the difference is that the nerves I was feeling wasn't from fear, it was from excitement.It's been two years since the first time I met Raph, which was not in the best situation. And now, two years later, with our twins recently turning one, we were going to officially take each other as mates.Even though everyone knew we were mates, we wanted to keep the tradition.Havoc came to get me and the two of us made our way out of the main pack house and walked over to the large field where the ceremony will take place in the open.When we got there, I saw that
Raphael Stars...They kicked me out. They freaking kicked me out of the front room. I paced outside of the pack hospital, wanting to barge in to the front room and be by Zi's side. But angering Monika even more is probably not an option.It's been four hours and the sun was slowly coming up. Every single time Zinnia screamed, I could hear pain in her voice. Sweat was covering my entire body."Relax man, she'll be fine." Havoc commented and I couldn't stop myself from glaring at him.Havoc stood with his arm around Okla, looking all cozy when I'm about to lose my mind.Zi screamed again and I was close to marching myself back to the door when I heard a baby cry.My heart skipped a beat at the sound."Come in." Bear called out and I quickly ran in to the front room to see Monica holding a little bundle."Cut the cord." She ordered, seeming a little bit calmer than she was when she kicked me out.Bear offered me the medical scissor and I slowly cut the cord."Congratulations, Alph
We stood outside of the main pack house, about to say goodbye to my brothers.Last night had been one of the best nights of my life. Everyone had a blast, including my brothers.But now, it was time for them to go back.Their car was prepared and ready to go, I just had to say goodbye to them, which I didn't want to.Atlas looked at me, that same old robotic expression on his face. "Stay safe, Mina." He commented before he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I watched his climb in to the drivers seat of the car and close the door.I wish he would have at least given me a hug. We might not see each other again."Let him be, Mina. Atlas is allergic to his emotions." Blaze commented as he opened his arms and wrapped them around me.I hugged him back, taking in his brotherly love."Now, make sure you're safe, Okay Mina. Constantly worrying about your whereabouts is getting exhausting." He chuckled before he pulled away."You too , Havoc. Stay safe brother." He added as he gave
I woke up when someone placed their hand on my shoulder. Slowly pealing my tired eyes open, I looked at Raphael, who was smiling down at me.What a great thing to wake up to."Wake up, Zi." He whispered before I saw him leaning in to press his lips against mine and gave me a quick kiss.He pulled away a bit and offered me his hand.With a soft groan, I took his hands and he helped me sit up on the bed.The new room we were in, which was Raphael's old room before he and I started sharing a bed, was lit up.Not by actual lights but by his aura. Raphael felt light and that gloomy cloud that always followed him around no longer bothered him. I was happy to see that my Luna powers workedEven though it was exhausting, the training I had with the elders finally paid off.I looked towards the window and finally realized that it was night time. I let out a startled gasp before I returned my eyes to Raph."I slept the entire day?" I asked, to which Raphael nodded his head."You should have wok
I leaned against the head board of Raphael's old bed as Monika looked at the cut on the side of my swollen belly.Raphael sat down next to my feet, looking at the bloody X mark with a glare. I felt a bit uncomfortable with all the stares. Not Raphael's but the rest of my brothers.I glanced towards the window of the room and looked at my five brothers standing with their arms crossed over their chests and their back leaned against the window."You guys don't have to be here, you know." I commented. "You should get some rest. I'm sure you're tired.""We're fine." The reply came in a collective mumble, bringing a small smile to my lips."I know we're making you uncomfortable." Blaze smiled at me. "But it comes with the package of having too many older brothers. Deal with it." I gave him a playful glare before I looked at all of them."I'm fine, if that's what you guys are worried about." I commented, the smile still stretching my lips."We'll leave once we make sure you're okay." Atlas
Raphael walked around Haden's body and started walking over to me. He took off his shirt and wiped the blood off of his hands as much as he could before he reached for me.Sliding his hands around my waist, he slowly pulled my up to my feet and hugged me close. My knees were a bit weak so I leaned on Raphael, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him back. "Are you okay?" Raphael asked, leaning his chin against the top of my head."I'm fine." I replied, nodding my head a bit.Raphael pressed a kiss against the top of my head before he pulled away a bit and pressed his right hand in my belly.He avoided touching the X mark as he caressed my baby bump. I watched as he closed his eyes and focused on the baby, trying to listen to the heart beat.At the very moment, our baby kicked against his hand and Raphael opened his eyes to look down at the spot.It felt like our little one was telling us he was fine as well.Raphael leaned down to press his lips against mine, giving me a short ki
Mina Wolf...My head was pounding and my vision was getting blurry.The X mark my very own father carved in to the side of my stomach was burning. The second he'd pushed the blade against the side of my baby bump, I'd screamed bloody murder, begging him to stop.With what Haden did to Selin, I knew he would do it to me too.His mad laughter continued as he drew the X, saying that would be the spot he'll start at when he finally cuts my baby out of me.What a horrible and terrifying thing to hear?Everything still felt like one horrible dream. One second, Raphael was walking out of our room to get me my sandwiches. The next second, Luca was barging through the door.I didn't have enough time or speed to react when he marched over to the bed and slammed a lamp on my head.I was too busy maneuvering my body and trying to move away from him with my large belly dragging me back when he'd launched himself at me.I don't really remember much from there, other than the fact that th
I looked down at the map stretched in the dining room. We'd moved here because my study wasn't bug enough to hold all of my people who wanted to help.The bandage on my shoulder was getting soaked with blood but I couldn't care less. Monika and Bear had advised me to rest and not move my shoulder as much as possible but of course, their words were met with ignorance.Rest? No, that will not be possible, not until I find out how they managed to get in without getting detected and how they manged to get out with Zinnia."Maybe they took her to Landor's territory." One of the warriors commented but I shook my head."Landor's territory is locked in." Silver commented, looking at the map with fire in his eyes.They also took Megan and Silver was the first to speak against Monika and Bear's advise. Raphael can rest when he dies, he said. We need to get them back.Silver is right.We've been locking Landor in his pack, preventing anything and anyone from going in and out. I wasn't willing t
Raphael Stars...I walked out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a small towel.Zinnia was sitting on the bed with her back pressed against the headboard, her legs stretched out above the covers and her hands rubbing at her large belly.I couldn't stop my lips from stretching in to a soft smile as I looked at her."Barely six months and I look like I'm about to burst." Zinnia commented with a small pout.She's been saying that almost every night and every morning this past three weeks.Zinnia is right though. Her belly is growing at an alarming rate.Bear joked that she might give birth to a bear. Zi didn't think it was funny. With how small she is, it kind of scared her. Which was why she's been a bit annoyed too easily lately.But, no matter how scared she claimed to be, I always catch her caressing her baby bump with such loving and tender touch.I walked over to the bed, dropped the towel on the nightstand and sat down next to her.Reaching out, I gently caressed her belly
