Davina Keith had no idea this wasn’t a race. It was a way for me to get away from him and find Jason. He said he didn’t come with his intolerable beta, but I know his scent well. I knew he was somewhere around the cottage and I was dying to know who was lying to me between the two of them. Why would Keith lie about Jason? Did he? I went off the tracks of the race to find Jason. He was close, even as we were racing through the woods, I could still pick up his scent which meant he was following us or me. I had to know. It totally makes sense that Keith would ask Jason to tail him since he was coming here alone which would mean that Jason already knows what happened between Keith and me, and they are keeping it from everyone as I expect of the shady duo. Keith has no idea I know the woods like the back of my hand. Evans and I played around the hills when we were kids a lot of times against the wish of our mom who, at that time, because of the fight between us and the Antarti, didn’t w
Davina I am seated on Keith's bed, overly sensitive to his pungent scent, staring and smiling at him as he undressed and walked to the bathroom without really looking at him while making runs at different theories about what I had just discovered. I am in danger, and If I was wary of Jason before, now I have to be extra careful and avoid him totally while trying to figure out what his deal is in this subtle chaos. I didn’t know Jason had any family. He never talked about it. No one does. I never knew he even existed until Keith showed up from nowhere. Apparently, he has been lurking around the park from place to place ever since I started coming to Antarti to get acquainted with Cullum, occasionally slipping out to hang out with Keith. It’s all coming back to me now. I have to find out everything I can about him from anyone who knows anything, of course discreetly. Does Keith know Jason has a brother? They’re close, but I have seen enough to know Jason is the face of cunning and ev
Chapter 21 Keith “Who are you, and what have you done to the lordly bitch that won’t surrender to my whims and prominence as the alpha?” I squinted as I looked over at Davina. She was lying motionless, calm, and peaceful. I almost can’t believe it, especially after invading my privacy and brutally fighting me for it; that on top of all the other fights, quarrels, and unending disagreements—the very definition of beauty only; nothing more. What are you doing?I walked to the bed slowly so as not to startle her. I tripped and almost fell because my eyes were on her and I forgot about the stair-like elevation I have to climb to reach my bed. Really, dude? A wave of relief washed over me when I looked up after regaining my stance to see that she was still lying still like a sleeping lake. “Hmm,” I shrugged. People always said that Davina is beautiful, but I hadn’t really seen what they were talking about. I probably never looked at her—not until then, on my bed, with her fingers in
Chapter 22Davina“What took you so long? You have gotten slower. Maybe it’s all that Luna special treatment you are getting nowadays,” Evans teased, crossing his hands on his chest as he stood at the entrance of the cave. I rolled my eyes. “I came here as soon as I can, and…” I dashed toward him and picked out a strand of his curly blonde hair and zoomed back to where I stood, holding up the strand between my thumb and index, and wearing a smug expression. “As slow as you think I am now, you will still never be able to catch me.”“What the hell was that?” Evans’s eyes bulged out and he took a few staggered steps backward, pointing a finger at me.“What is what?”“How did you d-do that?” he stuttered with a hollow voice from his sudden breathlessness. “You were there and then you weren’t, and then you reappeared just now.”“What do you mean? Have your senses dulled? When last did you wolf out under the moon? Are you alright?” I blurted, worried he might not be healthy. The Evans I kno
Davina“This doesn’t make any sense? The color of my eyes means everything. It’s my very nature. I don’t understand,” I blurted, pacing around the spot I stood. “Is it bad or good, or…”“Calm down. You seem to be alright. Actually, better than alright,” a muscle in Evans’s jaw twitched. “We will figure this out,” he nodded. “We have to understand it.”“How?” I threw my hands in the air and let them fall loosely at my side as I feel overwhelmed. Am I sick or something? Was it the wound? I am totally healed, so what is wrong with me?I observe my hands like I would find the answers I need in them.“Veena, calm down,” Evans paused for a bit. “Has anybody else noticed any of these things about you—your eyes and enhanced speed?” “I don’t know. I haven’t wolfed out in a while now,” I mutter, looking away. I know he would be alarmed that I have transformed. Every wolf is supposed to transform out under the moon frequently to maintain a state of balance between both the human and wolf forms
Chapter 24DavinaI wiped my hands on my face as I was feeling quite tensed and sweaty. My hands on my face did nothing to ease the droplets running down my face so I rubbed them on my forehead again. As I dropped my hands, I caught a glimpse of blood smeared on my palm and it set my heart pounding faster than I think it has ever beaten.What’s this?I glanced down at myself and saw that I was covered in blood like I had a blood bath and I stepped back, falling to my knees as I splayed my hands in front of me.“This is not how I remembered it,” I cried to Evans. “You know me. I wouldn’t…” I looked over at the girl and tears rolled down my eyes. The gory sight terrified me. I have seen worse because I hunt, but she was just a little girl, and didn’t know if I killed her myself. It seemed so. There was no other explanation.“I’m I dreaming? I better be dreaming. I don’t know what is real right now. I helped her. He,” I pointed at the wolf taking its last breaths. “…and some other wolf we
Chapter 25KeithMy door busted open and I raise my head, gritting my teeth in contempt for the fool that had the guts to fling my door open without a knock knowing that I am the Alpha.I will have your head on a stake.I jerked off my bed as Jackson’s maid come to view, breathlessly waving her hands in the air, looking mortified like she had just seen a ghost. Her petrification dampened my anger as tears rolled down her chin. She clasp her hand together and stuttered, “It’s Jason—he’s dying.”“What the hell do you mean by that?” I feel a chin run down my spine. Is this some kind of Joke? “He is outside, bleeding out and barely breathing. Nothing the doctor is doing is helping. Please do something. He can’t die,” she cried and fell to her knees.My thoughts ran amok as I realized she is not joking and indeed as I focused my hearing on the chattering voices outside, I heard people talking in panicked tones about Jason.“No!” I yell and run towards my door. The maid got out of the way
Chapter 26Davina“Where am I? Evans!” I yelled looking around me without recognizing where I was—everything was blurry. “Evans, where are you?”“Calm down, Veena. You should stay down,” I Evans say and I relax a bit. “Stay.”“I can’t see anything now,” I blinked numerous in an attempt to clear my vision, but nothing happen. “What is happening to me?” Panicking, I managed to hurl myself up. I threw my leg forward, but something pulls me back I feel a sting of pain on my ankle and I immediately bent down to feel my leg. My hands clashed with as shackled which drove a familiar discomfort waging through my body.You didn’t dare!“You chained me up?” I yell.“I had to,” Evans said and I follow the direction of his voice with my head. “I freaked and it is the only way to keep you from going anywhere or doing any other weird stuff. I don’t know for sure what is happening to you so this is the best bet. You should sit down and try to calm down.”“Calm down? Are you serious? This of all things
Chapter 120 KeithThe sun had risen, casting its warm rays upon the camp, but my heart remained shrouded in darkness. The one month I had given Evans to peacefully hand over power to Daniel had come to an end, and he had not complied. The time for diplomacy had passed, and now, I was left with no choice but to assert my authority with an iron fist.I gathered my most trusted advisors and strategists, outlining our next course of action. The tension in the air was palpable as we discussed the escalating situation. It was clear that Evans was not willing to relinquish his power peacefully, and his defiance would have severe consequences."Summon Jason," I commanded, my voice firm and resolute. "We need to prepare the recruits for action. This betrayal cannot go unanswered."As the orders were relayed, my mind raced with a mix of anger and disappointment. Jason, the hypocrite, had cunningly used my trust to sow the seeds of rebellion within the camp. He had manipulated the recruits, mol
Chapter 119JasonThe night was dark and moonless as I stood at the edge of the camp, watching Alpha Keith's departing figure fade into the distance. A mix of triumph and trepidation coursed through my veins. I had been patient, biding my time, and now the moment had come to set my plans in motion.Taking a deep breath, I turned my attention to the recruits. The time for secrecy was over. They had proven their loyalty to me, and now they would become the foundation of a new order. One that would reshape the destiny of our pack."Illustrious recruits," I called out, my voice carrying across the camp with an air of authority. "Gather round, for the time has come to reveal our true purpose."Curiosity and anticipation filled the air as the recruits formed a tight circle around me. Their eyes gleamed with fervor, their trust in me unyielding. I had molded them, shaped them into a force that would help me achieve my vision."I know you've all wondered about the secrecy, the hidden conversa
Chapter 118KeithThe night air was thick with anticipation as I made my way towards the recruitment camp. Davina's words lingered in my mind, her concerns gnawing at my resolve. I trusted Jason implicitly, but her persistent doubts had planted a seed of uncertainty within me. I had to see for myself, to ensure that everything was indeed under control.As I approached the camp, I could sense a shift in the atmosphere. The tension hung in the air, like a storm brewing on the horizon. The recruits moved about with an air of unease, their gazes darting around, avoiding my penetrating stare. It was as if they knew they were being watched.Jason, standing tall and commanding at the center of the camp, greeted me with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Alpha Keith, what brings you here tonight? We're in the midst of preparations."I returned his smile, though a flicker of doubt danced within me. "Just wanted to ensure everything is proceeding smoothly, Jason. The unity of our pack i
Chapter 117DavinaThe chilling wind cut through the air as I approached the recruitment camp. The distant sounds of hushed conversations and muffled laughter reached my ears, but there was an undertone of tension that made my heart skip a beat. Something was amiss, and I needed to find out what it was.As the Luna and wife of Alpha Keith, I had a responsibility to support him and protect our pack. Jason's recent behavior had raised my suspicions, and my instincts told me to investigate further. I had to ensure that our pack remained united and secure.As I entered the camp, the atmosphere grew tense. Whispers filled the air, and the recruits eyed me with suspicion. Their loyalty to Keith was evident, and my presence seemed to unsettle them. It was clear that Jason had successfully influenced their opinions, but I couldn't let that deter me from my mission.I approached a group of recruits, hoping to gather information discreetly. Their glances shifted nervously, their guarded express
Chapter 116Jason The study door swung open, and I entered with a slight smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. Keith stood at his desk, his face etched with concern as he carefully penned his letter to Evans. This was my chance, my opportunity to help the true alpha retain his power and put an end to Keith's reign of hypocrisy.I observed Keith as he wrote, his quill gliding across the parchment, his words carrying the weight of his impending storm. His arrogance had always been his downfall, and I intended to exploit it to my advantage.While Keith paused to allow the ink to dry, I studied the letter from the corner of my eye, scanning the carefully chosen words. His determination to assert his authority was evident, but it would crumble under the weight of his own ego.Keith sealed the letter and turned his attention to me, a mixture of weariness and determination in his voice. "Jason, I need you to gather our forces immediately. Begin the process of recruiting new members and re
Chapter 115Keith I stood in my study, my face etched with concern as I penned the letter to Evans, the usurper. The ink flowed from my quill, forming words that carried the weight of an imminent storm. The fate of Davina's park hung in the balance, and I needed to assert my authority as the alpha of the neighboring park."My dearest Evans," I began, choosing my words carefully. "I write to you today with a heavy heart, but also with a steadfast determination to restore order and justice in the parklands. Your actions have disrupted the delicate balance we have striven to maintain for generations."I paused, allowing the ink to dry before continuing. It was important to convey my message clearly and assertively, leaving no room for misinterpretation."You have taken advantage of a tragic event to further your own ambitions, disregarding the wishes of the elders and the rightful successor, Daniel. Your attempt to seize power through force and manipulation is a grave offense."The quil
Chapter 114Davina I laid in bed, my body still tingling from the pleasure Keith and I had shared. Mating with him was undoubtedly one of the most pleasurable experiences I had ever had. But our joy was short-lived as new problems began to arise, threatening to overshadow our newfound happiness.It all started with a phone call that Keith received. I watched as his face paled, his grip tightening around the phone. The news he received was devastating. The chief priest, the one person who held the key to proving Keith's innocence in his parents' murder, had been killed. The amulet, the one piece of evidence that could have set him free, was now lost. Anger swelled within me, and I could see the pain and frustration etched on Keith's face."How could this happen?" I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and anger. "We were so close to uncovering the truth, to proving your innocence."Keith sighed heavily, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and determination. "I don't
Chapter 113Keith. I was lost in the depths of passion, reveling in the blissful embrace of my mate, Davina. It had been a long and arduous journey for us, but we had finally found solace in each other's arms. As the Alpha of Antarti Park, my responsibilities were vast, but in that moment, all that mattered was the love that flowed between us.However, our tranquility was abruptly shattered when a distress call reached me. The urgency in the voice on the other end of the line cut through the air like a knife. The priest, the one who held the key to proving my innocence in my parents' murder, had been brutally slain. The amulet we had recently discovered, the one that would serve as evidence, was now rendered useless.A surge of anger and grief swelled within me, threatening to consume everything I held dear. I knew I had to act swiftly, to find those responsible for this heinous act. The scent of the hit werewolves lingered in the air, their presence like a foul stench, but their ide
Chapter 112Davina I stood beneath the canopy of the ancient forest, my heart pounding in anticipation. The moment I had longed for had finally arrived. The amulet had been found, the Alpha and Luna rite completed, and now, it was time for Keith and me to fulfill our deepest desires. It was time to mate.The full moon shimmered above, casting its ethereal light upon us as if granting its blessing to our union. I could feel the magic in the air, a palpable energy that resonated with every beat of my heart. Keith, the Alpha, emerged from the shadows, his obsidian-black fur glistening with power and grace. His eyes, a mesmerizing shade of amber, locked with mine, and I felt an electric current pass between us."Are you ready, my Luna?" Keith's voice, deep and velvety, sent shivers down my spine. His words held a promise of untold pleasures and a love that would transcend all boundaries.I nodded, my voice barely a whisper. "Yes, Keith. I'm ready."He approached me, his footsteps deliber
