Valda and the other finalists strode back to the field, the Keepers having completed their preparations. This time, each participant had thirty arrows, and the dartboards were farther than the last.

However, Sheera was nowhere to be seen.

They waited a little longer, hoping she'd return. But she didn't.

"How much longer must we wait?" Valda demanded, her voice laced with impatience.

"We just sent someone to search for her, Mistress..."

"And for what reason are we expected to wait?" She cast her intimidating glare at them. "Look around, should you be confused. We have Alphas here. Lunas. Mistresses. And noble members of the Pack. Yet, you think a mere participant can waste our time? Isn't she aware she's supposed to get back here without keeping us waiting? Perhaps, she's lost her bravodo and decided to forfeit the competition."

The Keepers exchanged glances.

Releasing a deep breath, the Beta stepped forward, addressing the crowd.

    Air abandoned her lungs. Her body jerked like it was about to ascend to Elysium - the paradise for wolves - again.It was as tho, she'd been buried into a mountain of ice. Keegan's lips claimed hers, kissing her in the slowest way he's ever kissed anyone. They were the softest lips he's ever tasted, his inner beast growled at him, wondering why he's never thought of it. Sheera shivered under his possession. His kiss was a taste of citrus on her lips, pushing her to the edge of sweet oblivion. She felt drunk instantly, unable to restrict the hungry moan that ripped from her throat.She was completely naive to matters of intimacy, but following pure instinct, she kissed him back. Suckled a bit on his tongue like it was a source of energy. Then, as quickly as it began, the kiss ended. She let out a tiny whimper when Keegan pulled his lips away. Hers was wet and sore from the small action, and she feared she'd collapse when he hooked her bottom lip between his thumb and index finger.

    Sheera fought with every fiber of her being, her body thrashing against the restraints. The chain dug into her wrists, but she ignored the pain, focusing solely on escaping Gareth's clutches. He legs kicked out wildly, aiming for any vulnerable spot. Despite how hard she tried, he was much powerful than her, and the chains bounding her hands weren't doing her much good. She was completely at his mercy. When one of her kicks connected to o his chest, he groaned and struck her hard in the face. She yelped, the force sending her head to the side. Her hair scattered all over her face in the process. "You can chose to make this difficult, Sheera. Trust me, I shall enjoy hurting you," Gareth spoke harshly, his eyes holding a promise to truly hurt her. Sheera resolved to the only solution she could. She screamed for help. Gareth laughed and delivered another blow, this time to he ribs, the sharp pain taking her breath away. Before she could gain composure, he struck her in the ribs agai

    A sharp rap against her door startled Sheera from her reverie. She jerked and recoiled back, her mind believing it was Gareth. He's come to finish what he started. When she'd returned from the cellar, she had taken a bath, scrubbing her body vigorously like she could still feel Gareth's hands on her. Then, she'd changed into something else and stayed huddled in bed. But her peace was about to be disrupted by whoever was on the other side of the door. Fear gripped her heart as she remained motionless. The knock came again and again, until finally, it was forcefully opened. A small yelp slipped Sheera's throat. But her panic subsided when she found Kalaril standing in the doorway. It wasn't Gareth. Kalaril eyed her auspiciously."I was knocking," his words came out clipped. Sheera rose to her feet, dipping her head. "I... I apologize."Silence stretched between them. "The Alpha summons you. Let's go," he tilted his head. Gulping tersely, Sheera forced herself to follow him fr

    Sheera had witnessed Keegan's anger before, but never like this. It wasn't the kind of anger where you go around, throwing things and laying curses. It was the kind where you are so cold, but a storm brews from within. His grip on her throat loosened, but the glow in his eyes didn't go away."He...He forced me," she added, not knowing how much time she had left before Keegan finally kills her, thinking she did cheat on him. "He attacked me with a Faelian wood, had me chained in a cellar and... and abused me. But he didn't finish. His mother came in and stopped him. I swear, that was all that happened."Seconds bled into minutes. Keegan's gaze was cold on her. His calm demeanor frightened Sheera to the bones because she knew in such situations, the worst would be going through his mind. I'm sorry, Wema. But I had to save me. Slowly, he released her. The upper part of her body was lowered as she coughed and touched her neck. "Get out," his voice was low and dangerous.She hesitate

    Wema hurried to Gareth's room and relayed Sheera's information to him. In a frenzy, she began packing up his things. "Hold on, mother. What are you doing!? Why do we have to flee like some cowards?" Gareth asked with irritation. Wema did not stop. "You seem to have lost your mind, have you not? I just told you that Keegan is aware of your foolishness, and you dare to ask stupid questions?""I...I doubt that," Gareth said with a huff. "It is impossible for the scent of a wolf to get noticed in that manner. Clearly, the lady is bluffing.""You really want to stick around and know if she's bluffing? Problem is, you will not live to regret it because Keegan will have your head!" Wema paused to glare at him. "Do you truly desire to lose your life, Gareth? Are you so tired of living? You never should have touched that lady in the first place."Resignation burnt brighter than shame in his eyes. "Well, I didn't finish!" He took a deep breath. "Fine. I shall gather the rest of my things. Y

    Keegan straightened up, his claws and clothes stained with Gareth's blood. There was a satisfied look in his cold face, yet there was an urge for more .Wema crawled to her son's body and wailed upon confirming he was indeed lifeless. Gone. The other Alphas and people around watched in astonishment. Sheera's mouth hung open in disbelief, unaware her face had begun hosting tears.Her whole life, she had never been a violent wolf. The wolves were simply supernatural beings who were more superior than humans. Not all of them were bad and aggressive. And Sheera had grown up in a family that taught her not to be a predator. She was one of those who believed in good and only using their heightened powers in the face of threats. At young, they were often told stories and taught lessons never to associate with the bad wolves. The wolves that have fully accepted their predatory nature and shut their hearts not to feel. The wolves that only craved blood. Sheera had grown to see a few of th

    Kalaril led them to the cavern where he had Cleon tied up. Getting to defeat him during the duel had been a little tasky as Cleon was a trained man. But in the end, Kalaril was stronger and had been able to knock him out. Then, he bound his unconscious body and proceeded to get Keegan and the rest. As expected, Keegan was through with Gareth by the time he arrived and was ready to leave with him. During Kalaril's duel with Cleon, he'd kept insisting that he knew nothing about the missing wolves. Kalaril wasn't sure if it was all a coincidence, or not. But he concluded that a little torture might do the trick. However, they were in for a very big shock when they reached the cavern.Cleon had regained consciousness. But to their dismay, he was foaming and bleeding from the mouth."What in Hades!?" Wulfric grimaced as Kalaril ran to him. Grabbing Cleon's chin, he looked into his mouth and released a series of curses."He swallowed something!"Cleon, with blood and foam still drippi

    Keegan leaned closer, his nose brushing against the skin of her neck. He was a true predator. A merciless one. "I can smell your fear," his voice was low and dangerous. "You fear me, yet chose to disobey me. Your audacity is intriguing."A terrified tear came trickling down Sheera's cheek. She struggled to keep breathing as she looked at him like he had her life in his hands. Maybe he did. Then, it happened swiftly. The sound of clothes being ripped off filled the air and any sound Sheera would've made was trapped in her throat.With what seemed to be very little effort, Keegan ripped her clothes from her chest. He ripped through her undergarments as well, providing enough freedom to her breasts. He released her neck, while Sheera gasped hungrily for air. But before she could get enough of it, his hand dipped into the back of her hair, yanking a handful.She winced, her hands reflexively going to his in a bid to stop him. But of course, it was fruitless. "Please..." She bit out.

    Sheera never expected a visit from Kalaril the following day.When he appeared at her door, she assumed he was there to summon her to Keegan's chambers, not until he requested to come in."Is there something you need, Beta?" She asked, clearing the table of her books, trying to make the room look less clustered.Kalaril was strikingly similar to Keegan - Sheera thought. Broad-shouldered, strong, handsome, and cold, with a gaze that could pierce through steel.He took his time, scanning the room, as though searching for something hidden before fixing his eyes on her."I only have a question," he leaned casually against the table. "I am aware you're fated mates with the Alpha. What I do not understand is why you're rejecting him."Sheera's heart stuttered, her gaze falling to the floor. Had the Alpha confided in him?"He didn't need to say it directly for me to know you rejected him," he said the words like he could read her mind.He picked up a small figurine from the table, turning it

    Coating her hand with his, he gently lowered it from his shoulder. "You should get some sleep."Just as he released her hand the door burst open. His scent wafted through her nose even before she laid eyes on him, and her throat ran dry in an instant.Her hands instinctively moved behind her back as she stepped away, her heart begining to hammer in her chest.Keegan took his time entering the room, his eyes fixed on Ulric. He wore no heavy regalia, appearing as he often did when preparing for bed. It was a simpler look, and in truth, it was the one Sheera loved most on him."Alpha," Ulric dipped his head.Keegan was silent, his demeanor more guarded than usual. Sheera noticed he didn't just look cold, but quiet. He seemed different tonight.Praying he stays quiet, Ulric nodded at Sheera before leaving.As the door closed behind Ulric, Sheera's heart sank into the pit of her stomach. She kept her gaze glued to the floor, until she heard him walk toward her.A small gasp slipped from he

    Sheera never thought it was possible to feel her heart seize beating, but in that moment, she did. The world around her seemed to stop.For a full minute, she couldn't breath, couldn't think, and simply stared at Keegan like he held her very life in his hands.Her freedom...It was the one thing she's always craved. If he could truly free her, she and her family could go away to a place where her kind was accepted. She could finally live the life she's always wanted.Yet...why did it hurt so much thinking about it? How could she leave him now?But how could she also stay? He couldn't be serious about wanting to accept her. Gods, no...Tears welled up in her eyes.Oh, if only it wasn't so complicated! She'd have said yes to him without blinking. But how could she now, when she was different? When he'd kill her if he

    Keegan's words came as a shock to Sheera. The thought of walking with him, side by side, was something she'd never dared to imagine. Keegan, one he other hand, felt a twinge of pain. He'd promised to reject her after the Peace Festival. And he didn't know if that was the reason he had kept his distance, avoiding her for the past two days. Keegan was not one to go back on his words. And now that she was before him, the time had come. he was going to do it. He was going to reject her. They walked out of the Fortress. The path they took wound down to the outskirts, where the wilderness stretched out in a vast, untamed expanse. Eamon and Wulfric tailed behind them, keeping a long distance. Sheera's heart fluttered nervously within her chest, thumping in an unsteady rhythm. She was walking with Keegan! Like she was someone.... important. The whole experience felt surreal, almost dreamlike, but also undeniably lovely. For the first time, she didn't see him as the cold-hearted monster w

    Malkar and Ulric reached the woods a day after they set out on the journey. While Ulric was completely disturbed by Malkar's plan, he didn't have a choice. And neither did his brother care.He blew the rhythmic whistle, but she didn't step out. Ulric knew she was around but was still in hiding after seeing Malkar."She won't come out. Not when she's seen you," he turned to Malkar and said, frustration lining his voice.Malkar grinned. He knew he needed to be careful around her. It was just one of him, so it'd be easier for her to harm him if she wanted."Hello, witch. You can come out, I mean no harm. I simply want us to talk." He announced.Suddenly, the ground stirred beneath his feet. It took him by surprise, making him frown. But it only lasted for some seconds."Okay... message received," he lifted his hand in mock surrender. "I know you are angry. But h

    Keegan rubbed his brow. Zandov wasn't giving him what he'd hoped for. Nothing was working to his advantage. "Do you think it's possible to miss a scent?" Kalaril asked, his eyes trained on Zandov. A frown marred the witch hunter's face. "Do you think it's possible you can walk past a corpse and not smell its rot? Would you fail to sense death when it stands before you? There - you have your answer." His voice was laced with scorn, as if insulted by the mere suggestion of failure. "Recall the last time I spoke to you," he continued, turning to Keegan. "I told you I had caught a whiff, but it vanished as quickly as it came. This time, I sensed nothing. So, if this witch possesses something that shields her from me, she didn't need to rid herself of it to use her powers."Keegan's jaw tightened. "Now, how is it possible? Is there something strong enough to render a witch completely invisible to you, Zandov?""I wish I had answers. But something serious is at work here.""Do you think

Where laughters had danced on the breeze, only howling echoes remained.They were gathered in Bara's room where his corpse laid, already ashen and stenchy. His mother rolled and wailed on him, willing him to come back. His father, tho not shedding a tear, boiled with grief and rage.Keegan's heart ached from the sight before him. It was the first time in decades that something had truly shaken him to the core."Who did this!?" Alpha Sebastian turned on Keegan, his eyes blazing with fury.

    When Ulric returned to his room that night - after spending some time with Sheera - he was caught off guard to find Malkar already inside.Although, his brother paying him visits wasn't entirely strange, it was peculiar for him to wait around in his absence. Stranger still, Malkar stood right in front of Ulric's dresser, his back turned."Brother?" Ulric called, trying to mask his surprise. Malkar didn't move."Do you need..." his words faltered as Malkar finally turned around, revealing what he was holding.Ulric's eyes dilated when he recognized what Malkar held. No... By the good moon, it couldn't be.Calmly, Malkar looked at the bracelet in his hand, the one Ulric had foolishly left on his dresser before leaving."What is this?" Malkar questioned, his voice thick and stern.Ulric forced himself to maintain composure. No one knew it was gifted to him by Zytha. And no one had to know. To everyone else, it was just a simple bracelet, nothing more.He plastered on a smile. "It's a bra

The Festival was happening the next day, and the air was already thick with the spirit of celebration.Keegan thought it'd be nice exploring the woods with them. And they did have fun.By the time they returned to the Fortress at midday, they'd amassed a bounty of six games in total.It was noon by the time they returned to the Fortress. They'd been able to get over six games in total. The Alphas of the West chatted blissfully about it."The woods surrounding my Pack have nearly withered away. I might have to move in here with you, Keegan," Sebastian jested."Do not be such a betrayer, Sebastian. I already have that plan in mind," Cyrus added with a grin, adjusting hjs leather braces.Keegan was a man that was hardly humoured by others, but he allowed himself the briefest of smiles at their remarks, his us
