The Captive Luna 29.
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

Natalia finally arrived, looking flustered and nervous. She wore a simple dress and a cardigan, her long hair tied in a ponytail. She looked lovely, but also out of place in the bustling cafeteria. She scanned the room, searching for Vitale, and when she spotted him, her eyes widened in shock.He was dressed in a way that made her breath catch in her throat. His suit fit him like a glove, highlighting his muscular physique and commanding presence. His white shirt contrasted with his tan skin and dark hair, making him look even more handsome than usual. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and his lips curved into a faint smile that made her heart skip a beat."Is this a date?" She wondered.She felt a surge of attraction towards him, as well as a pang of confusion and fear. Why was he dressed like this? What did he want from her? What was he planning to do?She walked towards him, feeling the weight of dozens of eyes on her. She heard the whispers and murmurs of the pack members, wonderin

A limousine glided smoothly on the highway, leaving behind the city lights and heading towards the forest. Inside the spacious vehicle, two men sat opposite each other, both radiating a powerful aura of authority and dominance. They were alphas, leaders of their pack, and they had a lot on their minds.The older one, Vincent, had grey hair and sharp features that gave him a distinguished look. He wore a tailored suit and a gold watch, showing his wealth and status. He was calm and composed, but his eyes betrayed a hint of worry.The younger one, Leo, had black hair and piercing blue eyes that contrasted with his tan skin. He wore a leather jacket and jeans, giving him a rebellious and casual vibe. He was restless and impatient, but his voice was confident and assertive."Kai's faction is growing," Leo said suddenly, breaking the silence. "We need to do something about it."Vincent nodded slowly. "I know. I've underestimated him."Leo clenched his fists. "He's nothing but a coward! A w

She picked up her plate and led Lila to her room. She invited her in and offered her some food.“No thanks, I already ate.” Lila said politely.“Alright then.” Natalia said, sitting on her bed and eating her breakfast.She listened to Lila as she told her more about her situation. Apparently, she had never been able to fully shift into her wolf form since she got it when she turned thirteen. She could only manage partial shifts, like changing her eyes or claws or teeth.She also had trouble controlling her emotions and impulses when she was around other wolves, especially during the full moon or when they were in heat.She felt like an outsider among her peers, who all seemed to have mastered their wolf side with ease.Natalia felt sorry for Lila. She knew how hard it was to be different in a pack that valued conformity and strength above all else.She decided to take Lila to the woods and see for herself what was going on. She finished her food and cleaned up, then grabbed her jacket

Alessio slammed the door of his car and stepped on the gas, leaving a trail of dust behind him. He was heading to the city, the place where the humans lived and thrived, oblivious to the existence of his kind.He needed a distraction, a way to forget the horrors he had witnessed at the trial. He had tried to run away from his pain, literally, by shifting into his wolf form and roaming the woods for hours. But it was useless. The image of Vitale, standing over his mate with a smirk on his face, haunted him relentlessly.How could he let this happen? How could he fail to protect the one person who meant everything to him? He clenched his jaw and gripped the steering wheel, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. He was weak, he knew it. He had always been weaker than Vitale, who was the alpha of their pack and had the power to do whatever he pleased. Alessio could not challenge him, not without risking his own life and the lives of those who followed him. He cursed under his breath, w

"No, sir, we're not. We have witnesses and CCTV footage to prove it. Now, if you don't pay us right now, we'll have to call the police and press charges against you."Alessio felt a surge of panic and anger. He knew he was in trouble. He had no money, no ID, no car. He was stranded in a foreign city with no way out. He had been set up by Bob, who had sent that woman to seduce him and rob him, knowing that Alessio would fall for her charms. It was a trap, and he had walked right into it.He looked around the lobby, hoping to find a way to escape. But he saw only hostile faces staring at him. The hotel staff, the guests, the security guards. They all looked at him with contempt and disgust. They treated him like a criminal, like a lowlife. They didn't know who he was. They didn't know what he was capable of.He felt a wave of humiliation wash over him. He was used to getting what he wanted without any resistance. He was used to being on top of the food chain.But now, he was reduced to

Roberto felt the cold wind bite his fur as he stood on the boulder, surveying the border patrol. His amber eyes scanned the faces of the wolves below him, looking for signs of fatigue, fear or doubt. He knew they were all weary of this duty, this endless vigil that kept them away from their families and their normal lives. He felt it too, the ache in his bones, the longing in his heart, the frustration in his mind.But he also felt something else, something that drove him to keep going, to keep leading, to keep fighting. To prove his worth.He clenched his jaws, feeling the scars on his muzzle throb with old pain. He had fought many battles in his life, but none like this. The humiliation cut deep into his heart.With or without Vitale's protection, he would get his revenge on Natalia.Roberto cleared his throat and raised his voice, hoping to declare his position within the pack. “Listen up, all of you!” he barked.“I know you’re tired. I know you’re scared. I know you’re angry. But

Roberto groaned as he saw another truck pull up to the pack’s headquarters. He recognized the logo on the side, a stylized paw print with the words “Wolf Tech” underneath. It was the company that supplied the pack with advanced security measures, such as cameras, sensors, and alarms. They had been hired by Vitale to fortify the borders after the omegas kidnap.Roberto hated dealing with them. They were arrogant, nosy, and clueless about the pack’s culture and traditions. They treated the wolves like primitive savages, constantly lecturing them about the benefits of technology and modernization. They also asked too many questions, prying into the pack’s affairs and secrets.But Roberto had no choice but to cooperate. As the beta, he was in charge of overseeing the installation and maintenance of the security devices. He had to escort the technicians to the more secluded corners of the territory, where they would set up their equipment and test it. He had to endure their snide remarks a

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
