The Captive Luna 22.
On the outskirts of the forest, Roberto slammed the car door and got behind the wheel, his face tense and angry. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Olga sitting next to him, holding a gun in her lap. In the back seat, Rita and Sam were unconscious, their heads slumped against the windows. And in the middle, Gia was lying on the seat, covered with a blanket. "Damn it, Olga, this is your fault!" Roberto snapped. "You were supposed to be careful, not let that dumb bitch sneak up on us!"Olga rolled her eyes and sighed. "How was I supposed to know she would be there? She popped out of nowhere. Besides, you were the one who shot her. You could have killed her!"Roberto clenched his jaw and gripped the steering wheel. "I had no choice. She saw too much. We had to get out of there fast. And now we have an extra passenger we don't need."Olga shrugged and checked her phone. "Maybe we can use her as leverage. Maddox could use a delta wolf."Roberto snorted and shook his head. "You're d

Instead of going straight to the office, Natalia locked herself in the bathroom, deciding to ger rid of the stickiness on her skin first. She refused to appear weak in front of Vitale or his goons. Turning on the faucet, she splashed cold water on her face, trying to wash off the tomato juice and the dirt from her skin. She grabbed a towel and dried herself, then looked at herself in the mirror.She saw a woman with long red hair and dark green eyes, with a slender and athletic body and a pale and smooth complexion stared back at her. A woman who was beautiful and strong, who had trained hard and fought hard, who had survived and endured.She saw a woman who was hated and rejected, who had been framed and betrayed, who had been hurt and broken.She saw herself.Natalia felt a mix of emotions in her chest. But she clenched her jaw and straightened her posture, trying to look confident and proud as she walked towards the door with a steady pace.Sje arrived at the office not long. The o

He looked at the guards and gave them an order."Bring Lena here. She'll prove you're lying." .The guards nodded and left the room, returning shortly after with Lena in tow.They pushed her towards the table where Natalia was standing and swiftly left, and when Natalia locked eyes with her, she avoided her gaze, looking scared and nervous.Natalia felt a pang of worry and doubt in her stomach.She wondered what Olga had done to Lena like this, what she had promised or threatened her with to make Lena testify against her.Alessio looked at Lena and spoke for the first time ever, his voice gentle and calm. He didn't even bother trying to defend her even once. Natalia felt... betrayed. "Lena, you were on patrol last night with Natalia, right?" He asked."Yes, alpha." Lena nodded, her eyes glued to the floor."Can you tell us what happened during your patrol? Where did you go and what did you see?"Lena hesitated, she glanced at Natalia briefly with a guilty and fearful expression."I'

Vitale watched as Natalia was dragged out from the office in silence. He listened to the council members making up lies on how Natalia had orchested the kidnapping of all the missing omegas all those years in silence. He watched as they pile out of his office one after the other, their faces a mix of smugness and victory. Never had it dawned on Vitale that he was surrounded by traitors until now. All these years, his search for the kidnapper led to a deadend, and he was forced to close the cases as rogue attacks. Little did he know, that it was orchested by his own very pack members.He had seen and heard it all today. Enough to know that they were lying to him. He had seen with Natalia last night, she had also been with him when the last kidnapping happened, so there was no way she could have done it.His eyes moved to Alessio, who seemed deep in thought, he had not said a word to defend his mate of the accusations. That was all he needed to know something was not right. Alessio had

And by the Vitale woke up, the sun was up, his head was pounding and his mouth dry. He groaned and reached for his phone, checking the time. It was almost time for the execution. "Fuck " He cursed and got out of bed, feeling dizzy and nauseous. He had drunk too much last night, trying to forget the mess he was in. He had a traitor in his ranks, someone who had betrayed him to his enemies and kidnapped the omegas. He had no idea who it was or why they did it, but he was determined to find out and make them pay.He stumbled to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, then took some painkillers from the cabinet. He looked at himself in the mirror and grimaced. He looked like hell. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and his stubble was growing. He needed a shower, but he didn't have time for that. He had to see Natalia.Hastily throwing on some clothes, he headed to the basement where she was locked up in a cell. He opened the door with his fingerprint and walked dow

In the cosy library Kat, Al, Olga and Roberto met up before the big event. Wearing their robes that signify their ranks, they sat on a plush sofa near the fireplace, surrounded by shelves of books and magazines. They chatted cheerfully, anticipating the show about to unfold in less than an hour."I can't believe the plan worked out so smoothly. After today, V would have no choice but to give up on Natalia for good." Kat said, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "Gosh, I've been on edge ever since she returned.""I know, right?" Olga agreed, her short brown hair falling over her eyes. "She's always acting like she's better than everyone else, so rude and bossy.""Come on, she's not that bad. You just didn't get to spend time with her," Al disagreed, defending his mate. "She's the best mate I could ever hope to have.""Yeah, right" Roberto scoffed. " You're just blinded by your mate bond and obsession. She's nothing but a bitch. I bet she doesn't even love you back despite the bond

"As you can see," Vitale said, turning to Anton and the audience. "Natalia didn't kidnap the omegas. She was framed by someone else. Someone who wanted to get rid of her."He looked around the hall, his eyes accusing and challenging."Someone who is here among us."The hall was silent, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeats. Everyone looked at each other, wondering who Vitale was talking about. Who could have such a motive and opportunity to frame Natalia?Anton looked at Vitale and Lena, then at Natalia. He saw the smirk and ridicule in her eyes, and he felt a pang of doubt in his chest. What is Vitale up to?He cleared his throat and said, "This is a very serious accusation, Alpha Vitale. Do you have any proof to back it up?""Yes, I do," Vitale said, nodding. "But for the sake of the pack's unity, I'll keep it secret for the time being.""Well...err..in that case,""It's alright Anton, you tried your best. Whoever wanted to frame Natalia used Alice's memory loss to their

Kat stormed out of the hall, her eyes burning with anger and frustration. Vitale's declaration had blindsided her, shattering her carefully crafted plan. How could things have gone so wrong? She had expected this revelation to be the final blow to his relationship with Natalia, to drive them apart once and for all. But instead, it seemed to have brought them closer.She had worked so hard, so long, to sabotage their love. She had used every trick in the book, every weapon at her disposal. She had manipulated, lied, schemed, and even poisoned. She had enlisted the help of Roberto, Olga and Alessio's help, who shared her hatred and jealousy. Together, they had concocted a plan to expose Natalia's crimes and ruin her reputation.But their plan had backfired. Vitale had turned the tables on them, revealing that he knew about their plot and that he had a secret of his own. He had announced the presence of a traitor in the pack, and looked pointedly at them when he said so.Kat couldn't bel

Kat grinned as she looked over her shoulder at the line of omegas trailing behind her, their heads lowered submissively. Ten omegas to bring back to the pack, more than she had hoped for. She would have more than enough to pay Maddox and even request more drugs if the need arises. The forest was quiet as they made their way through the dense trees, the only sounds being the crunch of leaves under their feet and the occasional bird call overhead. Kat's ears swiveled, alert for any signs of danger, but all seemed peaceful.Too peaceful, she realized with a start. The woods were never this quiet unless..."Ambush!" Kat yelled, whirling around, but it was too late. The enemy warriors dropped down from the trees, landing lightly on their feet to surround Kat's small group. She counted at least twelve of them, all heavily armed and staring at her with hatred in their eyes."Well, well," one of them drawled, flipping a knife casually in his hand. "Look what we have here. Poaching our omegas

Vitale crept through the dense forest, ears pricked and senses on high alert. He did not know if this mysterious lead would yield answers or simply danger, but he was prepared either way.Behind him, his four most trusted guards kept pace, watchful for any signs of deception. But the path ahead remained undisturbed. Perhaps this would be nothing but a fruitless detour. Yet something deep within compelled Vitale onward. He had to know if truth awaited at the end of this trail.As the trees thinned ahead, the brush giving way to a rocky clearing, Vitale felt the fine hairs on his neck stand on end. He slowed, holding up a hand to halt his guards. The space appeared empty, but his instincts screamed that eyes were watching them even now. It was an ideal spot for an ambush.Vitale turned sharply to retreat back under the trees' protective cover. But too late. The faint hiss reached his ears seconds before the canisters hit the ground around them, spewing forth cloying white smoke. Vitale

Leo strode purposefully through the dense forest outside the Sanguinari wolf pack's borders, Vincent trailing at his back. The flickering leaves and branches prevent the rays from reaching the forest grounds . But Leo did not slow. He had tread this path enough times lately to know its twists and turns by heart.At the final iron-barred door, Leo cleared his throat. "Remind me again why we waste our time down here with this mad doctor and his monsters?"Vincent glanced back, lips quirking wryly. "Come now, Alpha. Where's your curiosity? Maddox is clearly on the brink of a breakthrough with his experiments on the wolves. One that could aid our pack greatly.""Or doom us all," Leo muttered under his breath. But he stood guard obediently as Vincent unlocked the door and entered the sprawling laboratory beyond. As always, the cavernous room unsettled Vincent on some primal level. Cages and glass cells lined the walls, housing Maddox's less than willing test subjects in various states of

Vitale paced restlessly around the makeshift camp, his mind churning with questions. It had been two days since discovering the ominous clues at the abandoned office site, but they were no closer to uncovering the truth. Marco had extracted some data from the cryptic flashdrive, but it was all heavily encrypted. He was still working to break through the protections and access the files. In the meantime, Vitale had dispatched trusted allies to dig deeper into the shadowy rental company's records and affiliations. But so far, they had turned up nothing useful.Whoever was behind this had covered their tracks exceptionally well. But Vitale knew there had to be some thread they could follow, some mistake the culprits had made. And he had no intention of leaving until he found it. For now, the team remained camped a cautious distance from the derelict office park, maintaining a discreet watch over the site. The shred of clothing with Natalia's scent tied her to this place somehow, Vitale

Pale dawn light filtered weakly through the dense forest surrounding the sprawling Krovavyy Krest pack grounds. Nestled deep within the remote Siberian wilderness, it was the largest and most formidable werewolf clan in Russia.In the training grounds, Alessio crouched across from Vincent, eyes narrowed in concentration. His muscles coiled tightly as he watched his mentor circle slowly. Vincent's scarred face gave nothing away, completely unreadable. They had been sparring since dawn, neither gaining advantage over the other for more than a moment. But Alessio could feel his strength starting to flag. The grueling daily training here at the Krovavyy Krest pack sanctuary was taking its toll.Vincent lunged without warning, aiming a vicious kick at Alessio's midsection. With reflexes honed over weeks of practice, Alessio spun away, using his opponent's momentum against him to flip Vincent over onto his back.Before he could press his counterattack, Vincent had rolled swiftly back to hi

Dawn's first light filtered weakly through the dense forest canopy as Natalia and Olga set out on patrol together. Since extending her offer of friendship, Olga had made a point of volunteering for duties alongside Natalia as often as possible. To Natalia, the she-wolf's presence now felt less like camaraderie and more like the smothering watch of a prison guard. "What a lovely morning!" Olga exclaimed, breaking the tense silence between them. "Don't you just adore the springtime, Natalia? Everything feels so alive and renewed.""I suppose so," Natalia replied halfheartedly, scanning their surroundings. She was anxious to finish this patrol and pursue a new anonymous tip regarding the omegas' whereabouts. The scrap of paper had contained only an address and dire warning - "Cabin east of canyon, leave now. Evidence inside."Natalia wasn't foolish enough to fully trust such a conveniently timed message. More likely it was a trap set by the kidnappers to lure her out alone where she wou

Natalia sank into the steaming water of the women's bath with a contented sigh, letting the heat relax her sore muscles. It had been an exhausting day of leading martial training for the pack's youth. As much as she loved passing on her skills, keeping up with the pups' boundless energy left her drained. She leaned back and closed her eyes, appreciating this chance to unwind in solitude.Her blissful soak was interrupted by the creak of the door and murmured voices. Natalia opened her eyes to see Olga entering with two other pack women, laughing brightly at something one said. Natalia suppressed a frown. Since the trial two weeks ago, Olga had been nothing but a nuisance, following Natalia around and ALWAYS showing up wherever she happened to be. Natalia did her best to remain civil, but Olga's overly familiar attitude grated on her.Oblivious to her irritation, Olga waved cheerfully. "Natalia! What a happy coincidence running into you here." The other women greeted Natalia politely

Kat met her squad of hand-picked warriors just outside her territory's border as the moon rose high overhead. Only her most savage and unquestioningly loyal fighters had been recruited for this distasteful but necessary task. They stood restlessly in the shadows of the trees, awaiting her signal.Kat stepped into their midst, her expression grim. "You know our purpose. This is not a sanctioned raid, so speak of it to no one upon our return." Her eyes glinted dangerously in the moonlight. "Am I clear?"The warriors rumbled their assent. They cared not about the whys, only the promise of a good fight their Alpha provided. Kat curled her lip slightly. Foolish brutes. But they would serve her aims well enough tonight. "Then let's be off. We've a two day's hard journey ahead." She inclined her head toward the border. "Time and secrecy are of the essence." Without another word, she leaped forward, shifting mid-air into her wolf form. Powerful limbs ate up the distance as she surged into t

Kat stalked through the dense forest, anger simmering in her veins. Those useless idiots had failed to kill Natalia, again. Just how long would it take to wipe out a single wolf?A twig snapped, jerking Kat from her brooding. She whirled, a snarl on her lips, only to find herself seized from behind by multiple assailants. She thrashed and bit down hard, tasting blood, but their grip was like iron. Within moments they had dragged her past the border markers and dropped her roughly at the feet of a smirking figure leaning against a tree. Kat leaped up and shifted into an attack crouch, lips curled back to expose her fangs. But she faltered at the sight of the man casually cleaning blood from beneath his nails with a knife. Dr. Maddox."Now now, that's no way to greet an old friend," the rogue scientist purred, poisonous gaze locking onto hers. "But given how you've ignored my messages of late, I thought an...intervention...was required."Kat forced her wolf down, though her muscles rem
