Everybody turned their heads toward Steven simultaneously.

“Follow me.” Instead of saying anything else, Steven simply asked them to follow him.

Others, though curious, wordlessly followed him. The party went in a particular direction. Steven had walked this path countless times. He could even walk with his eyes closed. All because this path led to Amelia’s room.

Liam narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw the familiar door in front of him. What was Steven thinking? Though Amelia and Keith had been together, it was almost three months ago! And the recent encounter was too bloody! Amelia had bled and given birth, it was next to impossible for her to have his scent!

Steven’s steps did not falter. He entered Amelia’s room and found the healers and Zion patiently sitting inside.

Zion turned and saw the unexpected people and smiled slightly when he saw his father. Steven walked ahead and raised his hand in a particular direction.

    Everybody became still as if somebody had used a pause button.Lucas looked like he had more to say, but before he could open his mouth, a surprised, weak, and hoarse voice interrupted him from behind.“You…can hear my thoughts?” The woman who was perfectly still for more than a week, finally opened her eyes.Everybody turned their faces in the direction of the sudden voice. It had come from Amelia. Steven, Liam, and Theo looked at the wide awake Amelia in a trance. Amelia was awake at last! The healer was the first to react. She dashed towards Amelia and checked her vitals. Thankfully, everything was under the range of normal.Lucinda, who was unaware of the subtle emotions flashing through the eyes of her followers, considerately offered a glass of water to the Female Alpha.The trio blinked and finally reacted! It wasn’t their illusion! Amelia was really awake! Steven was the first one to go near Amelia’s bed while Liam and T

    Steven who had finally relaxed, tensed up again at her question.What was he to say? What about Kieth? He himself had not figured out that yet!Was Kieth really the human CEO they met in the human realm? Or was he the powerful entity Lucas had sensed? Or was he the blessing to break Scarlett Witch’s curse? Or was he the black wolf?What about Kieth? Where was he? How was he? Steven really did not have any answer to Amelia’s innocent question.“He…should still be alive.” Steven pursed his lips and spoke hoarsely.‘At least till the moonless night.’ Steven silently thought.Amelia’s eyes widened at the incomprehensible answer. He should be alive. That meant they were not sure! Amelia felt a painful throbbing in her chest. Where was Kieth?“Tell me what happened.” Amelia took a deep sigh and asked determinedly.Steven walked her to the bed while recounting everything that had happened as she was asleep.

    Steven blanked out after listening to Amelia. He knew what she wanted to express, but he did not want to believe it. When he heard Emma’s theory and Lucas’s words, he still had a chance to deny the truth.They were not sure. Emma was not sure if Kieth was the same black wolf or not. Lucas was not certain if Kieth really had a powerful entity caged inside him. So, he still had a glimmer of hope. He still believed that Kieth could be a normal human and that somebody close to him might be the one they were actually looking for.He was in denial because he did not want Amelia’s mate to be dragged into the mess. He wanted Amelia to lead a simple and uneventful life, away from the chaos that their parents had to face.But Amelia’s words were like a hammer, forcefully striking and breaking his glass fantasy. He could no longer deny that Kieth was indeed involved. He could be the wolf. He could be a powerful entity. There could be more to Kieth than what met

    Both Lucan and Lucinda were surprisingly fast on foot. By the end of the day, their party had crossed five different territories without any trouble.When the night came, they decided to settle down and wait for the dawn. Though the forest was not dangerous to them at night, but the pair of non shifters really needed some time to catch their breath.The next morning, they again began to walk.“The trees have become longer now, and they have a few leaves. We should be getting closer.” Lucinda nonchalantly remarked. The rest of the party remained silent. They could not see anything. They just took her word for it.“I really do not understand. If he was taken away by teleportation, how come we can still find his scent?” Theo, who had become good friends with Lucinda and Lucas, could not help but ask.“There are two types of teleportation.” Instead of Lucinda, Lucas answered.“One is the legendary disappearing from one place and appearing

    “Nobody comes here, making it an ideal place for keeping someone,” Amelia added slowly.Death Pack?The land of the dead?“So, this place is not a myth? It really exists!” Lucinda had an incredulous expression while Lucas turned pale.No wonder he could feel emotions leaking from the trees! These were no ordinary trees! They fed on the bodies and were watered with blood!Lucas hurriedly shielded Lucinda and asked her not to touch any tree. Others remained alert. They stopped where the trail of sandalwood trees stopped. Amelia tried to catch the scent but there was nothing in the air.Lucas tried to sense any strong emotion, but he too, only sensed the emotions from the tree and nothing else. Liam observed the surroundings quickly while Theo tried looking for any living person nearby.The land had long become a home to dead bodies. The territory was huge, but nobody dared to claim it because of the gruesome death this

    “Huh? But aren’t they dead? How can they still be revived? And it has been years since that incident. Even if they are revived, won’t they become old and die of old age? Then, what’s the point of reviving them?” Lucinda knitted her brows and asked innocently.“Nobody knows if the legend is true or not. It is said that among the witches and Seers, there was a witch who excelled in puppetry. She controlled a few members, made them accept the mission of killing their Alpha and then, they died. Nobody really knows if they managed to break free from the puppetry or not.” Theo answered honestly.“So, if someone knew the puppet master, they could take over the reins and still revive the dead pack members? But can that really happen?” Lucas found it absurd.“That’s not so simple. In their death, the pack was protected by the Moon Goddess. So, it would take more than just knowing puppetry. Perhaps if someone is powerful enough or has a relation with the Moon Goddes

    Lucinda opened her eyes in horror as soon as she saw the bloodied dead bodies.When she looked again, the land was clean, without any dead bodies. But as she stimulated her sense of scent, the dead bodies reappeared. They were giving off a rotten stench and were covered in blood! She once again opened her eyes in alarm!What kind of scent was this? Could anyone really have the scent of corpses or blood?Like Lucinda, everyone else had complex emotions. What dead bodies is she seeing? Could it be the dead bodies of the Death Pack members? They involuntarily looked around warily but found no such dead bodies.Amelia felt alarmed as well. Such peculiar scent…who could it belong to?“Follow the trail of the dead bodies.” She resolutely said.Lucinda tried to swallow the bile juice, suppressing her uneasiness, and followed the dead bodies. The ground was littered with blood and rotten bodies. She looked around and found that dead bodies stopped w

    “Oh right! I absolutely forgot about that!” Liam mumbled as he started looking around for things to break the silver chains.Zenia observed the silver chains minutely. The forelegs were tied with a single silver chain, allowing little movement. The hind legs were tied to a tree for support.Zenia jumped resolutely and hit the tree. A loud thud stopped Liam in his tracks. When he turned back, he saw both the black and white wolf hitting the tree constantly. He cussed inside his mind and ran back to help them.No matter how impractical it looked, this was the only method. There was nothing else that could help break the chain.“How much longer?” Zenia saw the sturdy tree shaking and mind linked Theo.“The water will not hold on any longer. Hurry up, are you in the safe zone now?” Came Theo’s response.The brutal attacks continued. Liam and Zenia increased their focus and power.“Thirty seconds max! Are you in the safe zone n

    Before Amelia could register anything, Kieth broke free from her grip and bent down in pain. Guttural groans croaked out of his throat. He bit his lips hard to stop the scream threatening to break free.Sweat covered his forehead. Sickly pallor colored his face and all the blood rushed to his eyes, making them blood red. His legs buckled and his hands trembled.Amelia saw it with panic, pain, and anxiety. She too, followed his footsteps and kneeled, reholding his hands in a tighter grip. The moment she touched his hands, the unbearable pain assaulted her senses.It was Kieth’s pain. Thanks to Mate Mark, she could share his pain. Everything was happening very fast. She did not have time to think. It was her instinctive reaction.Moments before, she was dissatisfied with the forced Mate Mark, but now, she thanked her stars! She quickly held him tightly and shared his agony. Kieth’s legs trembled and he kneeled on the ground, making it easier for

    Under the moonless night, the silence and darkness covered them from head to toe. Amelia waited and waited but received no response from the other side.It wasn’t exactly easy for her either. She wasn’t one to drag things. She wanted a clean cut instead of this mess of a relationship.“Amelia, did you get me wrong? Do you think you can leave me twice, and I will watch it happen?” Kieth’s slow and rough voice hit Amelia unhurriedly.Her eyes started twitching. She could feel that something was wrong. Kieth had begun leaking his Alpha pressure. Was it intentional or not she didn’t know.Kieth started taking leisurely steps toward her. His eyes never left her, even for a second. She unwittingly took a step back, wanting to create some distance between them. But much to her disappointment, the Alpha pressure increased and made her halt.She looked at Kieth in alarm and surprise. This Alpha pressure…it was like a rope around her waist, with its ot

    ‘On a vacation. Don’t bother me. Switch to Plan B.’ Under it was his powerful and flawless signature. Steven pursed his lips as he took the paper. He didn’t know who leaked this information! Even Amelia didn’t know that he planned to look into Kieth’s background once again!There were three main points worth investigating. First, how did Kieth end up in the human realm? Second, what exactly was the training Kieth had to undergo in order to become the heir of the Williams’ Empire and third, what happened to his engagement?“What’s Plan B?” Steven couldn’t hide his curiosity.“Details on how to run the company and who will manage what if I am not there.” Kieth lowered his eyes and focused on the Art of Duel.“But why would you prepare something like that in advance?” Steven put the paper inside an envelope as he asked.“My doctor once told me that I couldn’t live past this month. So, Plan B was a contingency plan.” Kieth turned th

    What? Was that even possible? Steven did not know how to react! All his admiration and hope had turned to shock!He had seen people struggling to change into a wolf, but he had never seen a wolf struggling to change into a human! This was unforeseen!‘Um, Amelia, we have a minor situation here.’ Steven haphazardly mind linked Amelia.Damn! As Amelia heard his distress call, she felt annoyed. She still has not figured out what to do with Kieth.She walked to the training grounds and saw a black wolf and a surprised Steven at a glance.“He cannot change back!” Steven pointed to the black wolf and could not mask his astonishment.Amelia stopped in her tracks and mechanically looked at the black wolf, who stood there at a loss. She could not hide her smile at the situation.Unlike the stoic and expressionless Kieth, this black wolf was more vivid. She could see the annoyance, irritation, frustration, an

    Amelia’s smile disappeared while Kieth became shocked at his sudden words.“We can’t.”“Forget it.”Both Amelia and Keith spoke at the same time, making them stunned again.Meanwhile, the cub yawned and released a satisfied purr, successfully disturbing the awkward silence between his parents.Amelia quickly took the cub from his arms and busied herself in putting him in the cradle.Kieth felt aggrieved. He knew what he spoke was just in the spur of a moment. He also knew that it was the most unromantic confession, but that didn’t mean that Amelia’s sudden denial didn’t hurt him!‘Why?’ Unable to take his mind off the straight rejection, Kieth asked Amelia through the mind link.The sudden voice in her head made Amelia stop for a second and then she resumed covering the cub with the blanket.‘Because I am an Alpha, the rituals are complicated. Also, one can only get married on a full moon night. It’s almost a fortnight a

    Shit! He knew everything! No wonder he was so calm! Because he had already understood the situation from listening to the thoughts of everyone.Thinking back at their collective mind link and unbridled words, Amelia felt dazed.No wonder he claimed that he had his own way of knowing the truth! Damn!“Still acting dumb? Don’t have anything to share?” Kieth tried his best to remain calm, but his eyes had already betrayed him.Alarm bells started going off in Amelia’s head. Her survival instinct kicked in.“No. I don’t have anything to tell!” Amelia hurriedly spoke.An icy layer coated Kieth’s eyes. Amelia could feel the Alpha pressure leaking from him. Before he could burst or snap, she quickly held his hand and smiled brightly.Taken aback, Kieth froze for a moment. Her bright smile was blinding. How long had it been since he saw her genuine smile?She expertly grabbed his attention and when he looked dazed, Amelia took th

    “4 went out with the stepbrother and we killed the rest,” Kieth added calmly.“Wait, were they supposed to come back? I mean your stepbrother and the other 4 mercenaries?” Steven asked hurriedly.“I do not know. The mercenaries barely talked and the stepbrother was always busy.” Keith thought deeply and responded.“Busy with what?” Amelia narrowed her eyes and asked.“I do not know, I was usually very sleepy back then.” Kieth shrugged his shoulders.“What exactly did they do to you?” Amelia didn’t notice the anxiety and panic painting her voice.“Nothing much, he just took my blood. As for what purpose, he never revealed.” Kieth waved his hands and said casually.Amelia and Steven stiffened. Damn! Was the Murphy’s Law at work? Why did everything they feared start becoming a reality?“Why don't you trust your stepbrother?” Liam, who had been quietly observing everything, asked abruptly.“Who said I do not trust him?” Kiet

    “And what do you think?” Amelia boldly faced him.She was not panicking. She had killed plenty of people, directly and indirectly. But she was sure of one thing. Whoever she had killed, surely deserved it.So, Kieth telling her that she might have killed his father only cemented the fact that his father was a bad person. She was more interested in knowing what Kieth thought. Would he blame her? Would he avenge his father?Kieth remained quiet. Calmly taking in her expressions. She had no guilt, panic, surprise, or shock in her eyes.Unlike both of them, the others were not so calm.‘What did he just say? We killed his father? Who in the world was his father?’ Steven spat in the collective mind link.‘He said he met his stepbrother. Shouldn’t that be our lead?’ Theo’s mind was turning fast. Having a stepbrother can make things easier. Why don’t they simply catch and grab this unnamed stepbrother and ask him strai

    The temperature rose suddenly. Slick sweat coated their bodies. Amelia knew this was not the time, yet she could not pull herself away from his embrace.Passion glazed their eyes and movements. He was too hard, and she was too wet. Things moved in a certain direction. Both of them had no shred of restraint or intention of stopping.“Alpha Amelia, the cub needs to be fed.”A sudden voice broke in like a ray of clarity. Somebody mind linked Amelia, interrupting their rendevous. As if a pause button clicked, Amelia became still.Kieth soon became aware of the changes and looked at her with dazzled and confused eyes. Amelia looked at the mess of a situation, and only one word roamed in her mind: Damn!She patted his chain like hand and he loosened his grip. Streaks of rationality started coloring her vision. She involuntarily pressed her breasts and noticed the fullness. She was about to leak!She hurrie
