Dwight left what he was doing and ran out of the study. “Tory, are you there?” he asked via mind link but there was no response. “Shit”, he said and ran out following her scent.
“Amanda, Tory”, he called when he got to the kid’s room.
“Daddy”, Austin called and he turned towards him.
“Where’s your mum?”
He pointed to the window. “Some bad guys took Amanda so she followed them.”
He looked at the window too and back to Austin. “Go to your auntie’s room”, he said and mind linked Angela. “What are you doing?”
“About to sleep”, came the reply.
“Amanda has been kidnapped by some rogues and Tory already followed them”, he said and jumped out of the window to following Tory’s scent.
“What?!” she exclaimed. “Wait, I’m coming with you.”
“No. Just take care of Austin. I’ll be back with Tory and Amanda.”
She sighed. “Be careful”, she said.
“I will”, he said and shifted as he ran further into the woods.
<Tory woke up with a grave headache as well as hunger. She hasn’t eaten for days and she was weak. The room was a little bit dark and she felt her head spinning. She tried calling out to her wolf but she felt her wolf’s presence very faintly. Her wolf was leaving her. Since her wolf took almost all the pain of the bonds breaking, it was weak. She also hasn’t hunted any animal. Even the wolfs bane was affecting her a lot.She looked around again and noticed she was no longer in the cell. Rather, she was in a room with two beds. On the second bed was a small figure which back was to her. The figure is a girl and she has the same hair color as Amanda.“Amanda”, Tory called and tried moving from her bed. But her bones are extremely weak and she couldn’t move easily. She struggled and got out of bed to move to the other bed in which the girl slept. She got to the bed and turned the girl and it was indeed her daugh
Tory seated in the cell she was placed and paced around. She wondered what they are doing to her daughter and she blames no one but herself. She shouldn’t have trusted someone she met within just 24 hours. She sighed and sat on the floor as she hugged her knees close to her chest.“Oh goddess, let Amanda be safe”, she prayed to the moon goddess.She suddenly heard footsteps and she stood up. Just few seconds later. She saw Patrick standing outside her door with a man she doesn’t recognize.“Take her”, Patrick ordered the man and the men opened the door and stepped inside.He moved closer to Tory and dragged her by the arm roughly.“Where are you taking me to?” she asked but was met with deaf ears. She shrugged to remove her arm from the man’s grasps but he was stronger than her.The man dragged her away while Patrick followed them silently. She still struggled to free
Chapter 11: the painThree years later…The pain of losing his mate still hasn’t left Dwight but he still wants to move on with his life for his son, sister and his pack members. He still mourns his wife any chance he gets but he doesn’t let it affect his activities. He changed a lot since then but they’ve all accepted that he will forever be like this.He still tries to look for Amanda. He hasn’t lost the hope of finding his daughter and he knows the moon goddess will lead him to her home one day.He recently sent Evan, his Beta out when he was given an information about some lost wolves. He had to check if Amanda was among but it was negative. He felt shattered when he was told she is not among the wolves but he didn’t stop looking for her.He was also training Austin on how to take care of himself and be a good Alpha.The door opened and Austin entered the study with a file in his hands. He is already six and he looks tall for his a
Dwight took another glass of wolf’s venom and his friends watched with keen interest. Among them all, Ryder was the one known to drink a lot of alcohol but right now, it seems they got themselves a new champion when it comes to drinking.He was about to fill his cup again when Ryder held his hand. He was already looking tipsy.“That’s enough”, Ryder said. “You might kill yourself.”Dwight chuckled and gulped. “That would be better. Better than living like this.”Maxwell sighed and packed the table. Getting rid of the drink and glasses. “You are drunk”, he said and turned to leave with the tray but Dwight held him.He had tears in his eyes as he talked. “Please. Let me drink some more.” Gulp. “That’s the only solution to my problems.” Another gulp. “That’s the only thing that understand what I am going through.” Gulp again.
Dwight woke up with a throbbing headache and he feels like vomiting. He jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to empty the contents in his stomach. He drank a lot last night and now he is facing the consequences of his action.“Ah”, he groaned as he vomited yet again. “Ugh! I hate this”, he said.“If you hate it, why did you drink so much?” he heard his sister say from outside the door. “Be fast with whatever you are doing in there and come outside to wish your son a happy birthday”, she said.He heard footsteps which means she already left and he stood up. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought about what Maxwell told him at the bar the night before. All Maxwell said is the truth. He really needs to move on and forget the past. He lost his mate but that’s not the end of the world.He sighed and took his shaving stick. “First, let’s get rid of these beards.” He said and get to work.¶¶¶Ryder and his mate, Brenda and Maxwell and his ma
9 years later…Amanda laughed again as she and Laura tied a rope across the hallway. She enjoyed doing it a lot. She will tie the rope across the hallway and make the guards trip and fall.“Are they coming?” Laura asked her.She looked and indeed saw three guards coming. “They are coming. Hide. Quick”, she said and took Laura’s hand so they could hide.They stood in a corner and waited for the guards to come closer to the rope they tied. Laura put her hand on her mouth so her laugh will not be heard. “One…two…now”, she counted.“Ahh”, the guards shouted as they tripped and fell on each other.Amanda smiled and turned to give and high five to Laura.“Who is there?” they heard a guard say.“Oops”, Amanda said. “Run!” she ordered and took the right while Laura ran through the left. She ran all the way to her mother’s room still laughing. “Serves them right”, she said and opened the door. Her mother was on the bed when she ente
Tory was pacing around and thinking of what those guys were doing to her daughter. She already looked for her even though she was feeling weak and she didn’t see her. She came back to her room now and started pacing in worry.The door opened and her eye went wide when she saw Patrick carrying her daughter in his arms. She moved closer to them.“What happened?” she asked while Patrick placed Amanda on the bed. “What happened to you?”, he asked Amanda.Amanda only cried and pulled her mother closer. “Mummy. I want to leave this place.”Patrick left the room without saying a word but he looked sad for her.Tory doesn’t know why she is crying but she cried too. “Tell me what happened. Amanda talk to me.”Amanda pulled her mother closer and cried. “Let’s go home, mummy. Where it is safe just like you said. I want to leave this place.”Tory kissed her head while crying too. “What happened? Did those guys hurt you? Tell me.”“Yes,
Chapter 14: the spoilt and the calmLuna Brenda walked into her daughter’s room and she growled in anger. Mackenzie was asleep on her bed and her room was in a mess. Clothes everywhere, make up littered all over the floor. Even her shoes and bags were all over the place.It’s true Mackenzie is a fashion freak but she is also untidy when it comes to her room. She wants the maid to always arrange her room for her but Brenda is totally against it.Brenda moved closer to her with fury and hit her open thigh really hard.“Shit”, Mackenzie shouted and jumped out of bed. “Mum! What was that for?”Brenda crossed her arms around her chest. “Do you know what time it is?” she asked.Mackenzie shrugged. “Eight?”Brenda scoffed. “It’s noon already.”Her eyes went wide. “Oh my God”, she exclaimed and stood up from her bed. “I can’t believe I woke up late. I need to be at Wendy’s place by 2. And I haven’t done my makeup yet”, she said and started pic
“Actually you don’t have to”, they heard a voice and their head turned towards the voice at the door.At the door, stood Austin, Derek, Anna and a woman Dwight recognizes to be Sita. The evil and most dangerous witch.Angela sighed in relief and moved closer to Austin. She checked his body for any form of injury. His clothes were covered in dirt but other than that, he appeared to be fine. “Are you okay?” she asked as she took a good look at him.He nodded. “I’m fine”, he said and looked at his father. He saw that anger was evident in his father’s eyes but other than that, his face showed a sign of relief. He moved closer to his father.Dwight was indeed annoyed that he went to Sita alone but he pulled him closer into a hug to show that he was relieved he came back safe. “Why did you go without enough guards?”Austin hugged back. “I just thought it will be better th
“I accept”, Austin told the witch and she chuckled.“What?!” Anna and Derek shouted at the same time.“This is crazy”, Anna added. “Do you think you can win a fight with her? She is a witch. Also with dark magic. You could die.”Austin turned to face her. “I will do anything. So far Amanda will be okay.”Anna sighed and rolled her eyes. “We can find another way to save Amanda.”He chuckled. “Can we?” he asked her but she couldn’t give any response. “This is the only way I can save her and I’m going to do anything possible. I won’t even think of the consequences.”Derek sighed. He knew at that moment that Austin’s mind was made up. No one will be able to convince him.Austin faced Sita again. “I’m ready.”She chuckled. “You are brave. I’ll give you that but tell your people not to interrupt”, she said as she pointed a finger towards Derek and Anna.He turned to them and gave them a look which clearly told them that the
Austin almost chocked on his spit as he saw who the girl was or who he thought she was. “Amanda?” he called with his eyes wide open.Angela looked at his face to confirm if she heard the right thing then she looked back at the girl who already stopped screaming. The girl indeed looked familiar but she still wasn’t sure it was Amanda. She faced Austin. “How do you know she’s Amanda?”“I can feel the bond”, he said and faced Amanda again. “Amanda?”“Who are you?” Amanda said and her eyes closed before she fell limp in Austin’s arms.“Get the pack doctor. Quick!” he said and carried her bridal style out of the cell with Angela hot on his heels. “Amanda”, he called again but her eyes were still closed and her breathing was a bit ragged. “Oh goddess”, he muttered under his breath as he walked towards the pack hospital.‘Is this really happening?’ he questioned within himself as he opened the door with force almost ripping it off its hinges.“And
Alpha Dwight shook hands with King Anthony’s son, Prince Kai at the airport.“Hope your journey was stress-free, Alpha”, he said with a really cute smile.“It was. Thanks for receiving me.”“Oh. It’s nothing. You are a special guest so you should be treated specially”, he said and turned to the car. “This way. My father has been waiting for your arrival.”“Okay”, Dwight said and entered the car.After some minutes of driving, they arrived at the palace. It was very beautiful and colorful. Just like something out of a fairytale book.They got down and he was immediately led to the king’s hall.King Anthony is a very tall man, taller than Dwight himself and he was a very good looking man. According to what Dwight had heard, the faes are very good looking creatures and look better with their wings out. They are said to be the most beautiful super naturals. There is one word the faes are recognized with and that word is ‘beauti
The three Alphas sat in a restaurant as they discussed the meeting they just had with their friend.“Do you think he is being sincere?” Dwight asked.“No”, Ryder said the same time Maxwell said, “I’m not sure.”Dwight nodded. “We shouldn’t stay long here. You know we are on human land and the hunters will have sensed us.”“That’s true”, Maxwell said. “We should get going.”“You guys can go ahead. I have to meet with the leader of the faes.”“You think he might have an idea about the kidnaps happening?” Ryder asked.He nodded and stood up. “I’ll be sure to tell you of the details when I get back.”“Okay. Be careful”, his friends said and they went their separate ways.As soon as Dwight got to his car and his driver drove off, he picked up his phone and called Austin but his son didn’t pick up the call. After trying his son’s number for a few more times and it wasn’t picked, he came to the conclusion that he might
Amanda woke up and realized it was morning already. She was very sore from all the walk since she left the den. She didn’t even have an idea where she should go. She’s been walking in the woods and there has been nobody in sight to help her.She got up and adjusted her cloth. Her stomach growled loudly and she checked her bag for the remnant of the meat she stole the night before. She tore the meat aggressively and devoured it in just a few minutes.She felt something wrong with her system, something she has never felt before. Her bones were weak as she tried to get up and start her journey. She felt tears sprang up to her eyes as she remembered her mother. She didn’t know if she was still alive or not. And that gave her a reason to ignore the pain she was feeling and get up so as to locate her pack just like Laura said and get help.She held on to the tree she had her back to and pushed herself to her feet.“I’m coming to save you, mum. I w
Amanda opened her eyes and she was in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t even know when she passed out while walking. All she could see around her were nothing but thick and tall trees. It wasn’t dark any longer and she wanted to go back to her mum but she has no idea whuch way to go. Is it right? Or left? Or front? Or is it back? She has no idea whuch way it is she was coming from and she has no idea which way it is she should go to look for this pack of hers laura talked about last night. She was tired, hungry and angry too.She’s lost and she has no idea what her mum is facing in the hands of that cruel animal in human’s clothing. She looked around and saw her bad lying on the floor. She tried to stand up but her leg was to weak to do so. And so she crawled and moved closer to the bag. She should get some answers there because sje was still trying to understand what laura said abiut her being a werewolf and belonging to a pack. What the hell d
Amanda, Tory, Laura and Charlotte were already at the door but they are having troubles opening it. They have tried everything they could to make the door open but it’s just not possible to do.Amanda was still not feeling okay. All she could see what the knife in Carl’s chest, the pool of blood on the floor and the look on his face as he breathe his last. She felt guilty for killing him but she was scared he was going to hurt her.She took the knife just to scare him away from her but she ended up burying the knife in his chest.“We need to get out of here fast”, Laura said. “I can here footsteps. I think they already found out.”“Is there no other way other than this place?” Tory asked.Charlotte shook her head. “This is the only way I was able to find. The front door is heavily guarded.”“Ohh. We really need to open the door fast and get out”, Laura said and held Amanda’s hand. “We’ll get out soon”, she told her.They were sti
Angela felt something call out to her from her sleep and she got up immediately. She looked around and realized she fell asleep on the couch in her sitting room.“Was I that tired?” she said and looked at her wrist watch. It was just 9pm and she was already asleep. She yawned again and stood up. But what was that voice that woke her up? She looked around and she was the only one in the room.She rubbed her face and went to check on the kids. She knew Austin will probably be working right now. He is always working.She knocked on his door and he told her to enter. She entered and he was indeed working. She sighed and shook her head.“Hey, aunt”, he said and gave her a small smile.She moved closer to him with a smile and ruffled his hair. “What are you working on this late at night?”He sighed and dropped his pen. “Dad gave me some things to work on. We are trying to find the werewolves that has been missing for some time now. Including
