“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
“Am I not clear?” The black wolf looked at Liam and asked slowly.These were plain words, but Liam felt his hair rising in alarm. He could not afford to offend this Alpha!He quickly got up, mind linked Theo who was shivering lightly, and carried Lucinda. Theo hesitatingly came forward and carried Lucas on his back, and then Liam ran as if his life was on line!The Black wolf followed him effortlessly and Theo was the last, with the distance between them widening. Theo was nimble and fast, but he intentionally slowed down. Liam knew that the Alpha pressure of the Supreme Alpha was a bit taxing on the Omega.So Liam did not mind. Theo knew the way. His utmost priority was to take Zenia to a healer.They could not go to a random pack because Zenia’s existence was special. A lot of Male Alpha’s targeted her. Some wanted to crush her, others wanted to make her theirs. Some wanted the Silver Crescent Pack and others wanted money.
A veil of silence covered the entire area. Theo and Lucas were in shock, while others were more composed.Liam did not show much expression. Amelia pursed her lips and was in a contemplative mood while Steven looked disappointed. He had a faint guess but still hoped that his brother in law was a simpleton. But Lucinda’s words were like a concentrated ray of light, piercing his hopes and burning his thoughts of a normal future.He could only sigh and digest it, there was no other way.“Sense his emotions. Is he the powerful existence you mentioned earlier?” Steven turned to the absent minded Lucas and asked him.“What? He is the one I sensed back then?” Lucas’s eyes became wider with surprise!“That’s what I am asking you!” Steven felt annoyed and snapped.“Oh, okay.” Lucas reigned in his leaking emotions and tried to concentrate. The black wolf was still unconsciou
Zenia shortly fell asleep, burrowing her head in his warm chest.Without hearing from Amelia, Steven became restless. He was concerned about Amelia, so he decided to take a bold step and walked toward Kieth’s ward. The door was wide open, As Steven stepped inside, he was met with fierce pressure. He abruptly stopped and looked ahead.On the bed, Zenia was sleeping quietly in the black wolf’s embrace while the black wolf was wide awake. And the black wolf looked at him with vigilance and repulsion. Steven instinctively took a step back. He was smart and considerate enough to close the door, leaving both of them in their world of two.Steven’s concern for Amelia was soon swallowed by hurt. Hah! Kieth has not been around for more than a day, has not recovered, they have not yet sorted out the details and yet, they have started hurting single people!He walked absent mindedly to the dining area and saw Lucas feeding Lucinda. He lost his appetite and wan
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
“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
“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
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
