My eyes popped open when I heard the door of my cell squeak open.I looked up to see Beatrice stepping in to my cell."Oh... I didn't mean to wake you up. I just came to check up on you." Beatrice awkwardly commented as she walked closer to the bed.I slowly pushed myself up to a sitting position and let the blanket fall down to my waist.Beatrice stopped in her track when she saw the dress I was wearing. I followed her gaze and looked down t the green fabric before I looked back at her."Where did you get that dress?" She asked, causing me to frown."I found it here last night. I thought you left it for me." I replied, to which Beatrice shook her head."No. It wasn't me." She replied before she walked over to the bed and sat down at the edge."I brought you breakfast." She commented."Oh, thanks... but I haven't finished yesterday's lunch box. It's still half full." I replied as I gestured over to the lunch box I'd placed beside the bed."Someone brought you food as well. How did the
Raphael Stars...I was fuming as I walked away from Zinnia's cell, barely able to control the violent shake of my hands.I climbed up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. When I reached the front door, Bear was the only one waiting for me, as I had asked him to."I'd changed her bandage last night but I still want you to do a check up on her, make sure she doesn't get an infection." I commented.Bear nodded his head before he disappeared down the stairs.I had already told him about Zinnia's wolf, which put his mind to rest as he has been looking for the reason as to why she got sick easily and her body refused to heal quickly.Bear took it well, but Silver didn't.My Beta seems to believe that there is something extra special about her. He told me that I needed to set her wolf free so we could figure it out.As much as I want to know what makes her so special, I couldn't risk her running away again. What if she decided to try another escape and I'm not there to rescue her?
I wiped the blood off of my hands using the shirt I had ripped off of my body a few hours ago. To say that I was furious would be an understatement.After Kalven had dragged Luca down to the basement, the beta twins and shortly joined him.My father was in the basement, trying to extract information from the rouge we had captured, the same rouge Luca tried to kill the previous night.When father saw Kalven tying Luca's unconscious body to a chair opposite from the rouge, he was very confused. But it didn't take him long to understand what was happening.Luca didn't take long to wake up, and when he did, he looked a lot more nervous than he did earlier when he was running his mouth.I had taken my time, thinking about what I was going to do to him, how I was going to end the bastard. I wanted to start with the rouge just to show Luca what was coming his way.We no longer had a need to keep the rouge in captivity. We only needed the feral wolf so that he would tell us who was working
Mina Wolf...A creaking noise woke me up from a deep sleep.I slowly sat up in bed and tried to crake my eyelids open to look around me.No one was there and the door of my cell was closed but I was sure that I heard a door open, or maybe even shut.I don't know.I let out a yawn after I tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes. Letting my hands fall to my lap, I widened my eyes a bit and looked around. There was a white plastic bag on the floor in front of my bed and I could tell that it was obviously a lunch box.The entire day, I had refused to eat because my stomach kept crunching at the thought of the promise Raphael made me. He said he would tell me everything, all of what my father had done.There was a lot of fear under the nerves I was feeling.But as of now, starvation was taking over and I was ready to devour the meal Beatrice or Beta Silver had brought for me.But just as I was leaning down, I heard calm and steady footsteps approaching my cell. I looked up to see Raph
Raphael Stars...I felt absolutely nothing more than confusion... pure confusion.As Zinnia wrapped her arms around my waist and planted her face in to my chest, the confusion grew.Zinnia sobbed in to my chest. I could feel her tears wetting my shirt.Her shoulders were uncontrollably shaking to the point that they started shaking me as well.I couldn't understand how I was not pushing her awayWhen we first got to the graveyard, I'd pulled away from the mad grip she had on my hand. I'd felt guilty for holding on to another woman's hand when I was standing in front of my mate's headstone.But as soon as I started talking about what Haden had taken from me, the guilt and all the pain had started fading away. The speed was kind of alarming.One moment, I was about to drown in self pity and pain but the next moment I was feeling absolutely nothing. That was of course until I saw my little green flower's reaction to what I had told her.She was torn up. She looked like she was i
Mina Wolf...It has been a few hours since I woke up from another deep sleep but I couldn't move a single muscle in my body.Everything Raphael told me the previous night was constantly playing in my head, putting images to all of his words so I'd first hand experience what it felt like to see all those horrible things.It was pure torture. Being chained to Silver cuffs would have been ten times more better than this.There was a dull ache in my head and a pounding headache in my... well, head. Yet, what heart most was my chest. And most importantly, the beating organ in my chest.I was torn up about finding out what my father did, along with my two older brothers Atlas and Fang.Their involvement pained me more than my father's. I should have expected horrible things from him, but my brothers? I would have never guessed.I guess now it makes sense.Atlas is a living robot and Fang never bothers to speak in people's presence unless it is required of him to do. The things they
Raphael Stars..."My brothers are talking about an attack, Raphael." My informant commented, forcing me to sigh. "You need to return me to is before they think to act on their words. If they decide to do this, I can not stop them." He added."How many times do we have to talk about this?" I asked, a bit frustrated that we're once again stuck on this matter.He's not willing to let it go and I'm not willing to let her go. "Raphael please, let me beg you. We need our sister back home before things get even more complicated. My brothers are starting to get riled up and father has more tricks up his sleeves. I tried to warn you about the rouge attack because father told all of us. But now, he's starting to go silent.""And why is that?" I asked, leaning back in to my seat."The guy father has inside your pack has gone silent. That added with the fact that none of the trucks made it to Landor's territory, father is starting to get suspecious. He barely speaks of his plan anymore,
I stood infront of the front door of the dungeon.My wolf was jumping up and down in my head, forcing a heavy headache to settle right between the split of my eyes.I tried to keep him calm, to get him to settle down, but he refused to calm down. All he wanted was his mate.His mate.How crazy is that?How is that even possible?Had she been my mate since the beginning?Probably no. She already has a mate... well, she had a mate until the idiot was dumb enough to break the bond he shared with her.What kind of a man would be mad enough to willingly break the bond he has with his mate, especially someone as precious as Zinnia?I ran my fingers through my fingers through my hair.If I go in there, then I might not stop myself from claiming her. I can't do that.She's still Haden's daughter.I felt my wolf growl, obviously upset that I'd refuse to step in to the dungeon for the most stupid reason.Does it matter she's my enemies daughter anymore?I let out a sigh and turned around, plann
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
