Neil's POVThe rogues keep coming, one by one until I'm surrounded. And I do not want to shift, not in this condition; when the Arkans are struggling to eliminate all the wolves - I might be perceived as a rogue. Yet I feel my wolf power rising within me with Sphinx barking dangerously within me at the omegas. But rogues does not know an alpha, they attack whoever they perceive as an enemy aggressively. So, trying to control them using my alpha power will result to nothing.Sphinx tries to push out; my face momentarily shifts to his but I suppress him. Instantly, I will my canines out and I feel my teeth elongate and sharpen. I extend my claws and crouch, ready to pounce on the wolves circling me. The first wolf attacks, impatiently. I duck its attack, crouching under it as it is in midair. I slash its abdomen rapidly, and pounce to the other side before its gore splattered on the floor. A snarl escapes my lips as I bare my canines at the remaining wolves. All of them comes at me at
Amelia's POVI stand weakly in the centre of the wolves. My knees give in to fear as I drop to the floor. The wolves circling me barks viciously with snarls as one of the them pounces next towards me. I shut my eyes, accepting my fate as a snack to the wolves. I can't remember if I'm still breathing.I open my eyes at the right time to find a large muscular dark wolf, counter-attacking the first wolf. The second wolf splits the first wolf into two and it drops to the floor as its thick gore splatters even across my face.I hold my breath as the wolf that had just emerged roars — growling loudly at the other three wolves. Confused, I try to understand if this second wolf is actually protecting me or trying to claim me as his own snack. The thought of it sends my breath racing as the second wolf which is the largest of all the wolves cuts and rips the other three wolves almost in a blur... before I could blink. I could barely recover my breath as the three wolves finally drops to the fl
Neil's POVI have to stop Amelia in any way possible; but for some reason, I couldn't move. I watch her step away from me. I feel my heart shatter into a thousand pieces... it feels almost like rejection. Am I being rejected the second time? I can't be rejected again! No. I have to speak to Amelia one more time; to tell her what being a werewolf entails. I am not an animal. I am only a supernatural and I'll promise her... she'll love my world. She won't get hurt around me. I'll assure her of her safety. Just the way there are bad and ruthless humans, and good humans as well; so are there in the wolf world. The only difference is ability and motives. Karl had succeeded in giving her a bad impression about wolves... All thanks to him, Amelia has left me.My heart beats rapidly as I make after Amelia, hoping to find her. I run after her, still in my human form. My eyes scour the forest for any sign of Amelia as the dark night slowly gives way to a cold, misty morning. Yet, not even Ameli
Lorenzo's POVIt's been two days and yet, no sign of Amelia or her fucking boss. I stand at the pier with my hands tucked into my pockets as I sight the incoming ship with my ammunition from a distance. I've been waiting here with my men at strategic places, ready to hit whatever wants to ambush the ship, the Farem group precisely — like they do before."Capo," someone calls from behind. I do not need to turn back to recognize who owns the voice, as I could tell the names of my men by their voice."Any lead on her?" From what I know of, Amelia is no longer in Arkans. That bastard let her go alone, leaving her to danger. I clench my teeth at the thought. Now, no one knows where Amelia has disappeared to, likewise Logan."No. She was last seen after the attack and before we could get to her, she was gone."Since Amelia is not with her boss anymore, even after eloping with him, then something must have happened. Amelia must have had an issue with her boss or she has finally escaped, usin
Neil's POV"I know that there are some people after your spirits and as a result, after your life. Do you know about them?" Mr Onex asks as I steer the car into the road. The only threat to my life I know of is Karl and that threat has been eliminated. If there are others, then they are still operating in the dark."Karl has been eliminated and I have formally become the alpha of the pack," I reply plainly with my eyes still on the road. Thoughts of Amelia clouds my mind. When she is not here with me, I feel so empty and so weak."There are more and they are the real threats. And they're even closer to you than you think.""If you know who they are, why don't you just go ahead and say it. Stop keeping me in the dark," I blurt out. Mr Onex always has this way of being too serious. Every alpha should expect threats and problems of course; he is in charge of a whole pack. Some are envious while some are loyal to him. My case isn't different either."And I think they have your mate..."At
Amelia's POVI was wide awake when that monster chopped off my pinky. My hands are shaking violently from the exploding pains and the wound hasn't stopped bleeding. Beads of sweat roll down my face as I try to absorb the pains. I can't talk or scream as I have a hand-sized towel inside my mouth and I can't even spit it out.At first, I thought it was going to end in him being a monster, a non-human. But no, I was wrong. He is a flirt, a demon and the king of all evil.He has me tied up here to meet his selfish aims.I struggle with the ropes binding me to the chair but it won't budge. Just then, the door creaks open and the monster returns. The dimly lit room lightens up the more as the door opens wide and shuts once again. He steps into the tiny light at the centre as I finally register his monster sized face."Hello, his little trapped mate," Logan says in his usual adenoidal voice that makes me want to puke.I want to scream 'you'll pay for this' at him, but my intended screams com
Lorenzo's POVLogan might have made way with my money and goods, and attacked me in return, but that is not the end of it. I've sent some men to wipe out his family; parents and sister. The others must find him and shoot him with silver bullets on sight . All werewolves are creepy, dirty and greedy. I've learnt never to have anything to do with werewolves ever again. But as for these ones, I'll make sure to rip them into pieces at once."Pull the chains!" I order. Two of my made men pulls the chains from different angles along the wheels on opposite sides to hang the petite old hag upside down; chains on both her hands and her feet. When I'm satisfied with the height, I order them to stop."Get the knife."At once, I am handed a silver knife which I carefully toss around before the woman who momentarily shifts to her wolf form in anger. She struggles with the chains and pulls, making a loud noise in otherwise empty room. But it's of no use. This trap was built especially for werewolv
Neil's POVSeeing Amelia tied up like a bandit annoys the animal in me. Sphinx temporarily surfaces in rage. I try talking to her through the mind link and fortunately, it worked.'Are you okay'? I ask through the link and she replies with a nod. But before I could speak to her again, Mirabel's wolf surfaces and pounces towards me on all fours.***I had first met the bitch outside the house under the dark night, where she was patiently strolling — as if waiting for someone, probably me. She grinned and crossed he arms over her chest."I gave you a choice, remember?" She asked. "But you chose Lorenzo's woman instead.""Where is she?" I asked impatiently."An alpha ready to die for a mere human. Weak!" Tsk. Mirabel tutted."I asked where is she?" I growled but I held myself from rushing to her and ripping her apart. I don't want to hurt her for old times sake. But not when she'll stand in my way of finding Amelia."Well, since you want her. You can get her if you want. But you have to
Neil's POVIt's almost a week now and I've been mourning him, loathing myself for his demise.I felt empty, weak and powerless as he was cremated six feet into the ground. I will bear this scar, this burden all my life, as the one who killed his brother. I can't come to accept any other truth, knowing this would not have happened if I had given thought to what mother said few weeks ago about my brother's disappearance. I should have gone in search of my brother and maybe I would have saved him earlier.But now, there seems to be more to this than just losing him to the monster I am yet to know. A monster that operates with shadow and is as dangerous as hell, capable of possessing the soul of a werewolf.I have to dig into this.Who are the 'they' that are coming? And why do they want to wipe all werewolves? His voice is still in my head.A thin line of tear rushed down my face as I stared at his grave; every werewolf in Castros pack had come to pay him their last respects, including m
Neil's POV"Scythe!!!" I screamed in fury with everything in me. The hairs on my body rose in anger. My blood was boiling and the only way to stop this is to have Scythe down and have him pay for everything he put the werewolves of Castros pack through."Scythe!!" I roared again. Heira was pacing angrily within me and any moment from now, he will push out.The air suddenly went still and an ominous silence fell among the ruins of the pack. Cold air suddenly rushed in from all sides and strange shadows began to take shape all around me. Scythe's power has increased judging from the last time. There are more larger and thicker lumps of shadow penetrating the air now. It was cloning itself... more than one Scythe stood before me, ready to attack."You called me." His voice was unusually deep and menacing, resounding like thunder in the environment. But I cared less, he can display an array of powers as much as he wants, but he is going down today.With gritted teeth, I pounced forward on
Neil's POVOne blissful, amazing night with my mate and we are both crawled into each other's arms. Her head rested on my chest while she slept. She is my mate, my Luna with a wolf spirit; a healer. Not only is she a werewolf now, she is also a healer. At once, I wished I had turned her earlier and Cole wouldn't have had to go through all of those things in Europe to save me from silver.I am proud of her; first she awakened her wolf successfully after one bite which was very rare, she was also blessed by the moon with such rare power. And I think that is only a tip of the power of blue wolves.As I mesmerized myself with the thought of what it would feel like finally presenting my mate to Castros pack, a voice suddenly screams into my head through the mind-link.Alpha! Where are you? The pack is in chaos! It was my beta, beta Damien.What's wrong? What's happening?It's the shadow assassin! The pack members are disbanding in fear. So many werewolves have been killed. We only managed
Amelia's POVShe was very focused and carefully navigated the woods like she had been here before. Also, she is very fast, I could tell by the amount of wind brushing past her fur. Neil was behind us... wait, not Neil. It's his wolf!I chuckled in excitement. It's getting interesting.Lydia is beautiful, I heard Neil in my head as our wolves sprinted through the wood's undergrowth.She's charming and very interesting. I love her already, I reply as I laughed. We were beating Neil and his wolf in the race. They can't keep up with us; Lydia is extremely fast.And she's unusually fast! Damn! Heira is struggling to match up to her speed! Neil complained and I took the honor to be proud. I heard his wolf purr as he increased his speed.Catch me if you can, Lydia screamed in excitement.We pounced ahead. But Lydia suddenly paused and turned to Heira.Ok, I think we have arrived the end of the game.I stretched my eyes and saw it's a dead end - a cliff. Heira swiftly transformed back to Neil
Amelia's POVMy whole body quaked even while Neil was licking the wound. His hot tongue flapped the bite marks but that didn't stop the storm I felt within. He pulled away and looked into my face. I thought he was going to let go, because he doesn't know when my wolf will arrive but instead his lips found mine.My lips quivered in his mouth as he kissed me, lips first until our tongues were almost set on fire. I could feel my thigh getting slicker as our mouths continued dancing with each other. Yet, my whole body was on fire; starting from the mark Neil has just placed on my neck to the very pit of my stomach. I began to feel so strange, so alien to my body. I gasped into Neil's mouth while he kissed me because the pains were almost choking me, but Neil's powerful arms held me steadily against his chest as he tried to ease the pains.My fingers dug into his back as it felt as if I could merge in with his body. The pains were throbbing my head and pounding in my chest, like my body wo
Amelia's POVI know my name is Amelia. I remember that face; the face I wake up with every morning, right on my mind. I remember his name; he is Neil Morreti. All the memories we ever shared all rushed into my mind; including the sex in the pool at Arkans. I remember he had saved me but I can't remember what happened that he needed to save me in Arkans. I remember that monster, Logan; he cut off my pinky and promised he would send it to Neil, which he did.One distinct thing I also remember is that Neil is not an ordinary human. He has a wolf; a dark haired wolf that is so strong.I couldn't stop myself from imagining what it felt like having a wolf that you could call on, even when you are in danger. I would speak to her, hear her thoughts and opinions and not a soul will know what we are discussing. I would make her my gist mate. I would smell things from afar, hear any little sound like I wish to, become terribly fast and my punch will be strong enough to break enough bones.That f

Neil's POVI was shocked to the bone marrow. Not once did Amelia stir as her eyes continued piercing mine inquisitively."Is he the bad guy who cut my finger with a knife and laughed while I cried?" She raised her stubby pinky to me and pouted her lips, ready to tear up.I was short of words. She remembered Logan, Karl, me and every other thing except Lorenzo. She doesn't remember the man who was ruthless and cruel to her in the name of marriage. She doesn't remember how he killed her parents or how he led her to the altar and proceeded with the marriage vows with her. She doesn't remember the mafia boss of Chicago, the one who married her for an heir and made life hard for her. She doesn't remember any of it.But seeing this situation, I am going to seize it. I will make sure she never remembers those horrible nightmares with Lorenzo. She will never remember that Lorenzo ever existed, that he ever lived in her life. And that he was her husband. I will make sure those nightmares are f
Neil's POVThe first thing I did was to get Amelia out of that hospital and take her with me back to America. Cole booked us a room in a hotel to stay and watch out for the time being. The situation in America about being the miscreant who took the lives of hundreds of workers in a refinery explosion hasn't been laid to rest yet. But I am not that bothered about it; now I have all that I want, an undisturbed life with my mate.It was late by the time we arrived America. Amelia was sleeping on my shoulder all through the flight. And she looked so weak and sick. The kind that moves me to pity, but it's not pity speaking. I am not pitying my mate. I am deeply concerned about her condition and if Neil Morreti will survive if he loses her. I'll become a shadow of myself and I may not be what you expect me to be anymore but; a loner who has lost control of his emotions and his whole self. I let her freshen up alone and treat herself to a nice meal.I took Amelia to watch the view around the
