According to Wyatt, the secret passage we walked in was the back part of the pack. He planned it since it would throw Rijel's pack away from us and give us enough time to provide them with a good amount of distance. If I was right, we only had about four or five more days until we found the base camp of the Erix's allied wolves. Hopefully, Erix would be there waiting on me and risking his life for me and our pup. The pain became unbearable, but I tried to shake it off. What if Erix won't take me again? What if he only wanted our son? What if he'll throw me away? I must have looked concerned because Wyatt reached over and grabbed my hand to reassure me. "Erix is not that kind of an Alpha, Rain. He knows what you have been through. Don't worry, and he'll kill Killian and claim you again," he said, smiling at me. I gave him an exhausted smile. "Don't worry, Rain; I'm sorry I'll try my best to go to our mate. Hold on a bit, and when our dearest frees us, we will be free from this pai
In my wolf form, I scanned a perimeter of about half a mile in each direction surrounding us. There was no sign of Killian or Rijel, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of being followed. I could have smelled them if we were followed. I tried to sniff the air but nothing. I couldn't pick any scent, excluding the scent of the forest. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. I expected Killian to come after me since he would suffer the effect of pull, but to no avail; he didn't show up. A thought passed through my mind almost as quickly as it had appeared; it was gone. If Killian hasn't found us yet, that could only mean one thing. He's planning something big. Or maybe he knew about our escape plan? Topaz wouldn't sell us out, right? No. That's impossible. Killian doesn't want me gone by his side. But still, what if he knew about Wyatt and I's plan? What if he already knew about it? He wouldn't remain silent otherwise. Killian is a whole new level of a smart wolf. I knew because his
Erix's POV"Erix, calm down!" Quintin said, trying to stop me from attacking Wyatt when he returned and told me Killian marked Rain. "How the hell will I calm down when you learn that your mate has been claimed by someone who rejected her? How do you expect me to calm down!?" I screamed at him, trying to vent my frustration. Why? Did Rain want to get back with Killian? No. I know she won't do that. "Rain protected your son, Alpha," Wyatt said, the wound on his torso was healed, and he stood up to explain himself. "She had a premature delivery when I appeared at the Blood pack. And Killian threatened to kill her baby if Rain refused to be mark him. At that point, she knew that she and the baby's life was at Killian's hands. She did it not because she wanted it but because she has no choice, Alpha."I know that Wyatt was trying to explain himself. "I promised to take her and the baby out of the pack ground. She expected me to return soon," Wyatt added. "What? That would be suicide.
ERix's POVI woke up with Clay wailing beside me. "Hey buddy, are you hungry?" I asked him. His big brown eyes stared at me as if he wanted to say to me. "Wait for a bit, okay? Daddy's going to mix your formula. It'll be ready in a minute," I told him before grabbing a bottle and putting in some lukewarm water. It's been a month. I'm used to waking up around three in the morning to feed Clay and change his diaper. Sometimes when he cries, I must carry him and hum a song. And sometimes, when he missed Rain, he would cry so hard that I had to take him to my aunt. Being a father was hard for me. Maybe if Rain was by my side, it would be easier. Killian took her away again from me, and this time he took her somewhere; he knew I couldn't find them. When we finally defeated the blood pack and raided their base, Killian and Rain were nowhere to be found, but I didn't stop looking for a lead to where Killian had taken her. I will find her no matter what. And I was determined to kill Ki
Celine/ Rain's point of view I could hear shouts from all over the place. The clouds slightly covered the moon, hindering any light source from penetrating the deep dark dungeon I called my home. The other she-wolves lay down on this hell hole's cold concrete floor, waiting for their demise. We were all slaves in this place: women, children, and everyone who sold to them. I don't have any memories of how I came here or even know my name. I was told that my name was Celine. The old woman in charge of us told me I was on the brink of death when I arrived here years ago. She also told me that I was rejected. The bite mark on my collarbone was proof of rejection. According to her, I was probably claimed, but then my mate didn't like me anymore, so he rejected me and bit off the mark. The old lady, Martha, said I was lucky enough to survive. No one had ever survived such rejection during her time. "You know, Celine, you probably had a life before you were rejected," Martha told me wh
I'm running through a dark hallway with a door at the end. "Mama?" I heard a voice. "Open the door, Mama," I heard a child's voice behind the door. When I reached the door, I pushed it open, and I saw a child with a blurred face there. "Mama!" The child screamed in excitement and ran towards me. His little fingers wrapped around my legs. I don't know who this child was. "There you are," a man from behind me suddenly appeared. "We have been looking for you, baby. Where have you been?" The man hugged me from behind and kissed me on my head. "When are you going home, Mama? Please go home. I want to be with you again," the child said. The man took my hand."Let's go, baby," he said, walking ahead of me while holding my hand so tightly. Suddenly the man's blurred face slowly became clear. I stopped for a bit and watched as his back hair showed.The man felt I had stopped, and when he turned around to look at me, I almost screamed when I saw it was Killian! "Do you think you can c
The woman assisted us, took us inside the cabin, and told us not to make any sounds before she left and joined the man. I peeped into the gap between the wood walls of the cabin and saw what was happening. I saw Killian and his men arrive at the edge of the cabin where the man, the woman, and a few men joined them, coming from the woods.Killian shifted and walked near the man who let us in his cabin. "What brought you here, wolf?" The man questioned him. "I'm looking for my pets. Did they come here?" Killian said, asking him. "You know very well that wolves aren't allowed here, are you not?" the man replied. "I have been chasing these pets of mine for the last week now, Arthur; you have to give them back to me."Arthur chuckled. "Your pets won't run away unless you treat them wrong, Killian. Knowing you, you must have done something that caused them to run away," Arthur said. "It's none of your business, bear. Surrender them to me, and we won't have any misunderstanding," Kill
The only option left for me was to survive and avoid Killian. Camilla told me that Killain would never step on a human settlement because some hunters were still roaming around. I believed her. She was sincere when she bit me goodbye and the other girls to begin our life separately. "Mama! Where are you? Dad and I wanted to see you. Please, find us, Mama. We need you. We missed you so much."I wake up to the same dream of a child and a man waving at me. My whole body tensed, and I couldn't seem to breathe. That dream has been torturing me for years, and I was eager to know who they were. I knew they belonged to my past. I knew despite their faces being blurred. The child called me Mama, and the man called me Baby. Even if I try hard to think, making my head throb, I always find black memories as an answer. I sat up and looked around the room I was in. I grabbed my head in my arms. I don't know who I am or why I was with Killian. I closed my eyes and tried to remember anything from
“Will you marry me?” The first words came from Erix’s mouth when I woke up. I was about to yawn and prepare myself for a whole day of Luna and Mother duty. I looked at Erix and then at the white and gold ring with a diamond and some bluish precious stones circling the largest diamond. “Uhm, Erix?” I asked him, confused. “We already became mates, a werewolf wedding, plus we already had four children. I think it’s too late for this,” I added. “It’s never been too late for us to get married, baby,” Erix said as he held my left hand. “It’s my dream to marry a woman I love like my Dad did to Mom.”I smiled at him. What he said warmed my heart, and who am I to say no to him? “Will you marry me, Luna?” He asked again. I nodded at him. “Yes, Erix. I’ll marry you,” I said. “So when are you going to marry me?” I added, teasing him after he slid the ring to my finger and kissed it.“As soon as possible,” he replied. “I want an extravagant wedding, something we can never forget. I think we
I dipped my fingers inside his boxers and rubbed the pad of my thumb over the tip of him, ghosting my hand over the length of him.It's my turn to feel his body tremble from what I'm doing to him. It had been a while, and I knew Erix was excited, just like me. I have the power to do what I want to do because this male was mine, not by fate but by love. This mine, he's all mine. I watched Erix take a deep breath and groan out, closing his eyes. I start to pick up the pace as his hips begin to move back and forth into my fingers that have wrapped tightly around his length.His strong thighs trembled from my touch, and his eyes fluttered open, looking at me. Up and down using slow, strong strokes; I love watching this, watching him gasped quietly through slightly parted lips. I'm glad because I am the only one who can bring this side of him. I love this man so much that I will sacrifice for him. I moved faster, and my grip tightened on him, with a destination that I was going to brin
"The kids had already slept?" Erix asked me as soon as I entered our room. "Yeah. The twins finally settled down," I said, sighing before I climbed on the bed. My original plan was to sleep early, but Erix had something in his mind as soon as he put the book he was reading and started kissing me."You have no idea how long I waited, Rain," Erix said in between little nips of my skin, not enough to cause real pain, just enough to entice a rush of endorphins to be released into my bloodstream, causing excessive pleasure to rage throughout my body. He's playing to my compulsions, riling them up for what's to come...he needed them in his corner.I squirm underneath him, his hands running along my body, over my clothes, feeling my body, his fingers firm...so demanding.He began to kiss my neck, his wet tongue flicking against my sensitive flesh. He's inciting a riot within me and knows what he's doing."Let me."His voice was toned in silk, caressing my compulsions with its softness.He
With the blood infusion, Rain was saved. Diesel had hurt her so badly to the point he killed his son and endangered Rain's life. I wish I had finished him, but Zander had to do it to take what belonged to him. After Diesel's defeat, Zander took the position of Alpha and led the largest pack back to its former self before Diesel's family took it in. The doctor who did everything to save Rain was their actual Aunt. She poured all her knowledge into helping Rain and assisted Zander when he claimed the title of an Alpha.When Rain gained consciousness, her heart broke when she learned her baby didn't make it. Although the baby was not mine, I wasn't that heartless to wish him death. With Rain's fatal internal wounds, Luna Sonia said, it might take her chance to get pregnant again. Everything is back to normal now. Rijel and Diesel's death ended our suffering, and we live freely now."Mom! Come on, you got to see my friend," Clay said as he was pulling his mother's hand. "Yes, yes, Cla
I growled so loud. It was the only way for the black wolf to distract what he was doing with my Rain. The wolf stopped from biting her. Rain collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Pregnant she-wolves were prohibited from shifting since the baby might crash. But why on earth was Rain in her wolf form despite being pregnant? The answer lies in the bastard, who had a cocky smirk, even in his wolf form. Suddenly, ten wolves tried to tackle me on the ground. I was too careless; my whole attention was with Rain, and I forgot I was in a battleground. The wolves pinned me down, ensuring I could see what was happening with Rain. Rain looked at me, still panting. She was forced to stand up but failed miserably. There was another wolf behind her who was covered in blood, and I doubt if it's still breathing. Rain's wolf huffed, trying to crawl to me, but the Black wolf stepped on her back. Rain whispered as I growled at the black wolf, warning him not to dare. The black wolf looked at
Erix's point of viewWhat Jordan told me was like a bomb exploding in my face. Rain is pregnant, not mine, but with someone else's baby! My wolf was in a rage; it wanted to rip this man's head before me, but I tried to calm him down. But what enraged me more was the man who had her was none other than Diesel Saavedra, Zander's best friend. "Starting from your parent's death to Rain's pregnancy, it was all planned," Jordan told me as he was driving. "The Blood Pack was just a distraction that Diesel had created and secretly pulled the string without anyone noticing it," he added. "Is there any particular reason why that bastard decided to ruin mine and Rain's life?" I said, trying to calm down. "For power," he said. "And for Rain. He has been wanting her since she was just a little girl; hence, he impregnated her because he wanted Rain to be his mate, and getting her pregnant through threat was just a bonus.""Threatening her?""Yes, like he'll kill you and your pack, which we know
"Erix," I breathe, stepping through the front door. He clenched his jaw and looked at me. "Rain?" His voice was shaky. "Erix, I'm home," I smiled and ran to him. He pulled me into a tight hug. Tears form in my eyes. I'm relieved to finally go home. "I thought you were dead," Eris whispered in my hair. I fell silent for a while. "Rain, you have to leave," he croaked. I pulled away from him and furrowed my eyebrows."What? Why?" "There's someone else, Rain. You were gone so long that I couldn't help but fall in love with someone else," he said.A look of regret crossed his face. My lips parted, and I started to say something."What about Clay? Amira? Where are they?""They're fine. They have a new mom now. You left them, and it's all your fault," Erix growled. It's all my fault."B-but I can explain why I was gone," I begged him to just listen to me, but Erix didn't show any sympathy. "I don't need someone like you anymore. Hence, I should have let you die when you decided to kil
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my territory?"A man in his late forties appeared behind a large tree. Five more wolves joined him and bore their canines to us. "P-please," Alice begged them. "We don't mean any harm. We only crossed this land because we were being chased. We're sorry for trespassing, sir."The white wolf who tackled Alice let her go and shifted into a man. He looked intently at Alice as if fighting something within him. "Where did you come from, and who was chasing you?" the older man asked. "We're from Greyhound Pack," Alice replied. Suddenly, a loud growl erupted from the man who shifted recently. "That bastard's pack!?" he growled. "Calm down, Jean. We need to know how they came here and stuff. Take them to the pack for interrogation," the older man said. He was probably the Alpha. Some of the wolves carried our bags and shifted into their human form as we walked to a path cleared of snow.We walked for about half an hour before a beautiful and mode
"Rain, do you think you can walk?" Alice asked me out of nowhere. "Yes, I can. Why?" "I feel uneasy. Let's get out here. Something bad would happen when I feel like this," she added. "Come, let's go," she said, bringing out the bags full of baby's clothing and some of our clothes.Without questioning and believing her, I helped her pack. "It's snowing. The scent of snow blocks any scent of potential intruders. With Diesel's connection, I can' assure us we're still safe here. It's better than sorry."Alice shifted into her wolf form and told me to ride on her back. I did what she wanted, and as soon as I tapped her gently, saying I was good to go, she sprinted at her top speed without particular direction. Despite the thick snow slowing us down, we made it far until we heard a loud howl. It was so loud that it made me and Alice tremble. Alice and I reached a wide river that was partially covered with eyes. We could not go to the other side without crossing that river. Alice looked
