2024-10-29 19:42:56Ellie’s POV
Many things were going on in the pack that were starting to get on my nerves. At first, I had put it to the responsibility Aiden owed to the pack to ensure this plague was curbed, but after a couple of weeks, I started to see that it was beyond work.
Before any of these started, I knew how responsive Aiden was to all my needs — physical, emotional, financial, and sexual.
However, aside from the money I received from him, he was absent in all the other areas, much to my frustration, and I hated it.
No one in the pack could reach Aiden in the manner that I wanted, so I had to turn to my father.
He would do anything to keep me happy, and I

Aubrey’s POVIt was becoming increasingly difficult to come up with a remedy despite all of my best efforts and I was losing my mind slowly. I decided that I had to come up with a new solution and a new pattern that would aid me in finding a remedy before things got a lot worse — more than it already was at this point. But the problem was that I started a little bit too late and I didn’t know who to blame for it. Hayden was adept in carrying out his duties but I felt that we were missing something vital that would help us to get to the root of this problem once and for all. “You’ve been staring at the microscope for a long time now, Aubrey. If there’s something you want to say, this is the time.” Hayden’s voice cut through my thinking. He was equally as frustrated as I was but his frustration wasn’t directed at me despite the annoyance in his voice. The tension in the pack was becoming more intense and the agitation was spreading round, faster than we had anticipated. Aiden and D

Aubrey’s POVHayden took my hand and led me out of the warehouse that served as the laboratory.It was a full moon tonight, and I could hear the wolves howling in the distance. They were on a hunt, and it was a ritual passed down from generation to generation. “Does it always get this loud?” Hayden asked as we approached the car. “You have no idea how loud it gets,” I chuckled, opening my side of the door. “It gets worse?” Hayden looked stunned. “The plague has greatly reduced a lot of things happening in the pack, and that’s why few wolves are going on the hunt tonight,” I explained. “It’s difficult for me to understand all your werewolf stories; I get confused more often than not.” Hayden shrugged, turning on the car's ignition. “There’s a library where you can read up on our history and become familiar with questions you have no answer for,” I said as the car sped away from the laboratory.“Do you think Aiden and Damon will ever ease up on hating me?” Hayden asked. His eyes w

Aubrey’s POVThe latest news spurred me to work twice as hard as I had ever been before. My son’s health was deteriorating every day and I wasn’t going to let him die. I barely left the laboratory anymore. I ate, slept, and woke up within these walls as I struggled to come up with something. The virus was spreading even faster now that it had gotten into the water and a lot of people were falling sick and the rate had gone up.I had several visitors every day who came to encourage me and remind me that I held the fate of everyone in my hands, adding to the pressure that was on my shoulders already. Sometimes, I wished that they would stop but I knew that they needed a way to cope. Revolting wasn’t going to solve anything so believing in the prophecy was the next best option for them and that prophecy came in the form of myself. “Do you want me to send them away next time?” Hayden asked as he shut the door. I had received a batch of visitors who came to tell me about their sufferi

Aubrey’s POVAre you going to tell Hayden about what the witch revealed to you? Aiden’s words kept ringing in my head as I fiddled with my pen nervously. I hadn’t seen Hayden since last night because we returned late from the mountains and I decided to head home instead of going back to the laboratory before going home together like we usually did. I didn’t know why I was reluctant to tell him about what had happened. Was it because I was starting to see things from Damon’s perspective when he said that there were things Hayden wouldn’t understand because he was human or was it because of something else entirely?The truth was that I couldn’t place my finger on any particular assumption, everything felt right in my head but it made me feel bad about the whole thing as well. Maybe it would be best to follow my instincts and keep what happened in the mountains between myself and Aiden. If I need to tell Hayden, I would be sure to do that but not now. I heard a knock on the door and

Aubrey’s POVThe entire situation was starting to get me pissed off and Hayden was getting on my nerves as well. It was clear to everyone that he was sick and he ought to rest but he was hell-bent on proving a point for whatever reasons I couldn’t comprehend. It was borderline crazy. There were a lot of things going on and I wasn’t going to be able to handle taking care of multiple sick persons while working at the laboratory at the same time, I was going to break down. After a lengthy discussion with the doctors, we came to an agreement that it would be best if I decided to quarantine Lucien for the moment. His brothers were becoming antsy and if they got in contact with him, they would be affected as well and that would lead to more complications that I didn’t want. “When are we going to see Lucien again, mummy?” Liam asked as he pulled at my shirt. I was tired and emotional at the same time, so I swallowed my words. Deciding to remain silent. “You’re not telling us anything, n

Aubrey’s POVI found it difficult to fully concentrate on what I was supposed to be working on, it was nearly impossible and I didn’t know what to do about the discovery that I had just made. I owed the past five years of my life to how I had managed to hide my past while I had been in the human world. My liberty, my status, my life, everything. And like any cautious person, I was ready to do anything to protect my privacy. Because I had a lot to lose and I could not let that happen again.The protection I relied on for so long was based on just two things. It was the same two things for anybody trying to avoid danger. It was the same way a nation protects itself against an enemy nation, the same way a boxer guards a potential knockout blow, the same way a security guard protects an office against a burglar. It was based on two things. Detection and response. Step one, step two. First, you find the threat, then you eliminate the threat.Step one was the warning system. I had managed

Ellie’s POVIt’s been a long time since I saw Aiden since I had the chance to speak to Aiden and it was genuinely starting to piss me off.There was nothing that I hadn’t tried to make him come back to me, to make him return to the same man that I had once married but nothing seemed to be working much to my frustration.I hated cooking but I had spent the past one week cooking his favorite meals every single day and he didn’t bother to take a bite out of any of those meals until I forced him to.He always had some ready-made excuse waiting for me every time I confronted him about his actions.I already ate at the dinner.

Ellie’s POVGuilt had never eaten me up this deep before. Sometimes, I could barely breathe properly for a few seconds only managing to gain a hold of myself when I was about to pass out. The first time I ever felt this way was when my ex-boyfriend, who’s now dead as a result of my stubbornness, would constantly remind me how I was a cursed child from birth, he would boldly tell me to my face that I was the cause of my mother’s death and his eternal heartbreak.My mother had died giving birth to me and I was often ridiculed because of that. But my father had sentenced everyone who did that to death.It’s been three months since Aiden snapped the bonds of our marriage, killing it in front of me, it’s also been three months since I was left alone in

Mark’s POV“Utter woke nonsense! I will not support this foolishness and I want to warn all of you here to desist from raising this issue with our Alpha!” I slammed my fist on the table, making the men sitting around it flinch.They were making no sense with this idea of theirs and I wasn’t going to let it stand. I’d been quite silent on pack matters because I’d been busy with several things but after clearing my schedule to be present here today, everything felt foreign, much to my disgust.“You’re overreacting, Mark. There’s nothing foolish about this decision and you know it.” Elder John said, wagging his finger in my face. “Humor me, John. Tell me why you think this decision that you’ve all decided to go with isn’t a stupid one. I’ll wait for you to give me one credible reason.” I said, leaning into my chair and waiting for him to speak. “The only reason you’re against this idea is because of the rift your daughter has with the person in question.

Aiden’s POVI may not like Hayden but at that point, we needed every available wolf or man, in his case. I shared a nod with Damon and he backed down from being aggressive with Hayden. “You’ll listen to me at all times. Do not do anything without my permission, do you understand me, Hayden?” I asked. “Yes,” Hayden nodded. That was all I needed as we all hurried out of the room and rushed downstairs. “Is everyone ready to leave?” I asked Damon as I made my way into the car, held open by one of the guards. “Yes, our best fighters are ready and waiting for your command, Aiden,” Damon answered as he joined me in the car. Hayden decided to join a couple of my wolves at the back of the truck and I urged them to keep an eye on him. I hit the roof of the car twice and the engine roared to life, the driver stepped on the accelerator and the car raced out of the parking lot. My fears hadn’t toned down yet but for the first time, I was optimistic about finding Aubrey and bringing her ho

Aiden’s POV I got into my car and stepped on the accelerator as hard as I could. My ears weren’t deceiving me and I knew I heard Aubrey call out my name but I had to be certain that I wasn’t hallucinating and if there was one person who could prove that I’d heard correctly, it was Damon.I tried calling him earlier but it went straight to voicemail. He often put his phone on airplane mode wherever he was busy or engaged in something serious. As soon as I parked in front of the mansion, I jumped out of the car and scaled the stairs, two at a time, yelling and pushing everyone out of my way as they all shot me a bemused look but I didn’t.Aubrey’s life hung in the balance and that was all that mattered to me at this point. I pushed the door to our study open and found Damon staring intently at the screen in front of him. He shot me a look that demanded an explanation. I closed the door behind me and sat on the empty seat opposite him. “I heard her calling my name, Damon,” I said. “It

Aiden’s POVIt had been confirmed. Aubrey was officially declared missing and the news threw the pack into disarray as everyone wondered who could be behind this kidnapping.I’d been asking questions on how this could’ve happened and I finally had a lead. I sat behind the screen, waiting for the suspect as he walked across the street without any care in the world. I wondered how he had gotten past the security at the front door. Sam's Kitchen was one of the best food restaurants in the pack and it was exclusively for the rich and successful. A meal here cost more than what some people earned in a month and I had dinner here anytime I needed to put in a night shift at the office. From my observation, men like him weren't welcomed here, it was bad for business. And knowing how strict the employees were, there was no way he would have gotten past the security guards. Except, if he had gotten in through the back door.Someone had tipped him off about where I would be. There was no need t

Hayden’s POVI wasn’t on the best terms with Aubrey right now but I still cared about her because we’d been through a lot together and I knew that once we left this hellish place, we were going to come back to what we once were. It’s been 24 hours since I saw her last and I knew that she was fond of locking herself in the laboratory for days to remain focused on her desire to find a cure but I’d managed to hear Aiden and Damon discussing Aubrey’s success in creating a vaccine that can mutate the virus. It wasn’t the cure they hoped she’d create but the vaccine would go a long way in ensuring that people in the pack don’t fall sick and lose their lives in the process altogether. I’d just come out of her son’s room. They were extremely worried and albeit very upset with her, she’d promised to spend the whole day with them and she was nowhere to be found. Aubrey was a lot of things but one thing I could swear on my life that she wouldn’t do was break her promise to her sons, she loved

Aubrey’s POVMy mind was racing with different possibilities about who could be behind my kidnap. I’d crossed Ellie off my list so there had to be someone else behind this. My head was pounding, I could feel the migraine threatening to split my skull open.Suddenly, it hit me. There was only reason why I would be kept here and if there was anyone who could’ve engineered this whole thing, it was Aiden and his twin, Damon. I felt betrayed and hurt. They’d said they wanted me to leave of my own volition and they went behind my back to do this to me. I looked around the room. It was made of metal and it had a horrible smell. The man had been nice enough to remove the blindfold and the gag before leaving me here. The door opened and I turned around to see the man that left me here walking towards me with a menacing look on his face. “Did he put you up to this?” I asked fearfully as I scurried away. The man remained silent as he walked towards me. I took a close look at him as he app

Mark’s POVI drummed my fingers on the table as I waited for the call to come in. This was going to be the call that would change everything and tilt the balance in my favor. Aiden had openly disrespected me and he had forgotten how much I helped him when he wanted to assume control of the pack. I spared no expenses and no wolf under my employ during the internal war that lasted for months before we were victorious. I willingly let him get married to my daughter after he promised to treat me in the same manner as I’ve done since she was born and as soon as Aubrey came back into the pack, Ellie was treated as trash. She was now being gossiped and ridiculed by everyone in the pack—and by extension, I was also being dragged in the mud as well. My phone rang and glanced at the caller ID before picking up the call. “She’s been spotted.” A voice said. I nodded. “Is everyone in position? We have only one chance to make this work and I don’t want it to be botched or else, I’m going to l

Aubrey’s POVI decided to make my way back to the laboratory to produce more vaccines that would be sufficient for the entire pack before leaving the pack. I was still sad about the whole episode and I didn’t see the car tailing us at first. “We’re being followed, ma’am.” My driver, Mr. Gerald said, forcing me to break out of my train of thought. “What did you say?” I asked.“Look behind, ma’am.” I did as he instructed and that was when I saw it. The black car, a sleek and powerful machine accelerated towards us, darting past the unsuspecting drivers, leaving a number of them startled as the car drove past them. “Hold on, ma’am.” Mr. Gerald said, gripping the steering with his white knuckles, as his face squeezed with determination focused on the road ahead. He stepped down hard on the accelerator, the engine roaring to life as he weaved through the cars ahead, eager to outrun the predator chasing them. The chase entered a whole new dimension as they raced into the Ss, both d
