"What in Hades?" Eamon mumbled from behind.

Silence like no other descended and was only broken when Jenger reached forward to welcome them.

"My joy is boundless, Alpha Myron! To think you could travel the long distance to honor my invitation leaves me speechless."

"Your father was more than a friend to me, Jenger. Anything to honor his Pack," Myron chuckled heartily. He was a man built like a bear with a voice to match.

His gaze swept across Keegan's group.

Sensing the curiosity, Jenger stepped in. "Please, meet Alpha Keegan - my long time... acquaintance, and..."

"The renowned Alpha of the North," Myron finished with a broad smile. "I've certainly heard the name. Just the face I hadn't seen. It's a pleasure meeting you."

It had taken Keegan a lot of effort to keep his eyes off the cousin.

"Pleasure to you as well...whoever you might be," Keegan responded, his underlying arrogance clear.

Jenger visibly stiffened.

"Uh... I trust your journey here was pleasant?" Jenger asked, d

    In his room, Kalaril waited impatiently until he heard someone knock. With a grunt, he reached for the door and discovered Mora smiling warmly on the other side. She was gorgeous by nature. Had the kind of face that would entice a man to go back for more. "Hello, Beta." Her eyes seemed to twinkle when she called him that. "You are here. Please, do come in." He moved aside to allow her entry. During dinner, while the Alphas had engaged in endless conversations, Mora had been more concerned with getting Kalaril's attention. She had refilled his plates and wine goblet when they were nearly empty. Kalaril had been irritated, of course, and thought to stop her. Then, he realized she could be a vital key in getting what he wanted. So, in spite of the difficulty, he had paid her attention. "Mora, is it?" He had enquired. Mora's cheeks crimsoned the instant he had spoken to her for the first time. "Yes, Beta." She'd replied. Kalaril noted with a flicker of surprise that she already

    "Wish I did! Father doesn't even care anymore. As long as he's out there not causing harm to the Pack, he can be gone for as long as he wants," Mora slurred.Kalaril threw more questions but unfortunately got nothing else. Mora and her father didn't care much for Cleon, which kept them oblivious to his hidden agenda - if he had any. If he was even the very one they suspected.When he had nothing else to ask, he let Mora have what she'd come for. He let her take pleasure from his body. ****†****†Sheera stood in the center of the room, the moonlight filtering through the high windows as she awaited Keegan's instructions. It was late at night. And despite her treacherous body longing for him, she desired rest. Yet, she has no choice when he sent for her. A shiver danced down her spine as Keegan emerged from the inner chamber, the silky black robe clinging to his broad frame.By the Rood, she hated him in his casual outfits. He looked too good in them. Too gorgeous. Charming. Similar

    Sheera, along with the seven other women, spread out in the center of the sun-drenched field. Ahead of them was a line of weathered wooden boards, matching their numbers. Keepers came up and handed each of them a bow and quiver filled with arrows. The crowd was bustling with excitement. It wasn't everyday a lot of them got to see something as unique as that. Coin purses clinked as wagers were laid, many of them presuming who would be the winner. A while later, when it was certain that each participant had everything they needed, Jenger's Beta came up to address them. He stated the rules for winning, which was them having to shoot as many arrows as possible on their board before the end of the given time. When the time is up and the drum rolls, they were to seize shooting. Then, the arrows on each person's dartboard would be counted and the participants with the highest amount will move to the next stage. In total, there would be three stages. "Best of luck, Sheera," Valda sudden

    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. "We will now commence the final round of the chal

    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

    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

    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
