ASHER'S POV.We were met with resistance, but we fought back with all our might. The sound of shattering glass and the smell of smoke filled the air as we made our way deeper into the facility.I saw Raya's deadly accuracy with her throwing knives as she took down an enemy guard. Raya's fighting skills were impressive as she dodged a punch and kicked her opponent in the gut. The rest of our warriors were equally skilled, and it was clear that we were a formidable force.I led the charge, taking down any guard that came in our way. We made our way to the center of the lab, where Lance had kept his most powerful anomalies. They were kept in cages, and it was clear that they had been mistreated and abused.I felt my anger and disgust boil inside of me. These creatures were innocent, and they had been used as weapons by Lance. We had to put an end to it. Without hesitation, we destroyed the cages, freeing the anomalies from their captivity.As we made our way out of the lab, I could hear
RAYA'S POV.As I walked through the ruins of Lance's Pack, my heart felt heavy with satisfaction and anger of still dealing with Lance. The destruction was palpable, and it seemed to seep into every pore of my being. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and ash, and the ground beneath my feet was littered with debris.The once-beautiful buildings were now nothing but a pile of rubble and broken concrete. The walls that had once stood tall and proud were now crumbled, like a stack of cards that had been knocked down by a gust of wind. The roofs that had once protected the inhabitants of the pack were now gone, leaving only the sky above.The silence was deafening. The only sound was the gentle rustling of the leaves as the wind blew through the trees. It was as if the Pack had been frozen in time, and I was the only one left to bear witness to the destruction.I walked through the ruins, my eyes scanning the scene in front of me. The buildings that were once the center of life in
RAYA'S POV.I walked towards my Packhouse, my senses heightened and my heart beating with excitement. The guards all parted ways for me, as if they knew I was coming. I could sense the air of respect around me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.As I walked through the Packhouse, I saw the Alpha King seated on his throne. He looked up at me, a sly smile on her face. "Well, well, well," he said. "If it isn't the prodigal daughter returning home."I walked up to him, trying my best to maintain my composure. "Hello, Your Majesty," I said. "It's good to be back."The Alpha King raised an eyebrow. "Is it?" he said. "You've been gone a very long time, Raya. Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"I felt a shiver go down my spine. I knew that the he was just teasing me, but there was always a hint of truth to his jokes. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty," I said. "I had to take care of some things."He leaned forward. "Well, now that you're back, you'll have to make it up to us," she
ASHER'S POV.I feel like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. The exhaustion of the past few weeks has finally caught up with me, leaving me feeling like a shadow of my former self. My mind is foggy and my thoughts are jumbled, making even the simplest tasks feel like a Herculean effort.I used to enjoy the simple things in life - a good meal, a warm shower, a book by the fire. But now, even these small pleasures have lost their appeal. My taste buds have dulled, and I can barely distinguish between flavors. The warmth of the water in the shower does little to soothe my aching muscles, and I find myself wanting to crawl back into bed instead.The world seems to be moving in slow motion, while I am stuck in quicksand. My mind is constantly racing, yet I feel like I am not making any progress. I can barely remember the last time I felt truly rested, truly at peace.I try to shake off these feelings and focus on the task at hand - the rebuilding of our Pack. But th
LIA'S POV.I was lying on my bed, reading a book when I heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. My heart began to race as I sat up and tried to listen for any other sounds. As I stood up to leave the room, I felt something strange in my throat. It was like a lump that wouldn't go away, and it made me feel sick.I stumbled towards the door, but my legs were shaking so much that I couldn't walk properly. I knew that something was wrong, and I needed to get downstairs to find out what was happening. As I made my way down the stairs, the feeling in my throat intensified, and I began to feel dizzy.Suddenly, I knew that I was going to throw up. I tried to hold it back, but it was too late. I ran towards the restroom and barely made it in time to throw up into the toilet. The taste in my mouth was disgusting, and I felt like I was going to be sick again.After a few minutes, I managed to compose myself and rinse my mouth with water. I knew that I had to get back downstairs to find out w
LIA."Lia!" My aunt yells. Her high-pitched voice was startling. I wake up abruptly from the cold storage ground that has my entire body aching. My mind is scattered and my head is throbbing badly. I have a migraine but I'll be damned if I say anything about it so I suck it up like the courageous girl I was. Who I was kidding anyways?I darted my eyes to the little window inside to store room, only to see that the sun has already risen which indicates that it was morning already.The birds outside were chirping loudly and quite beautifully. They sounded a lot happier than I ever would be unlike me who wakes up every day looking like a worthless piece of shit.I force myself to stand up from the hard surface. My whole body is sore and the injuries that were inflicted on me by my uncle haven't healed completely yet. This is what happens when you're nothing but a cursed wolfless omega. If I had my wolf, I would've healed at a very fast rate but there's nothing I can do. This has always
LIA.Halfway through my walk home, I decided to take the narrow path that led to my pack. It was lonely and quiet which helped me to think and process my thoughts clearly plus it was the fastest route home if I ever wanted to make it back home in time and escape some serious backlash from my uncle.I was about to make a turn when I spotted an unmoving figure up ahead. I couldn't see who it was but somehow I was pulled toward that person. It was almost as if whatever lying down there was calling out to me. This feeling was all so very strange to me and I couldn't comprehend what was going on at the moment. My legs seem to have a mind of their own because they started walking involuntarily toward the person.When I got closer, I noticed that it was a man and that he was injured and bruised, and battered. Crouching down next to him, I slowly raised my hands and ran my fingers over his face, making sure to push the bloodied tendrils on his face to the side. His eyes were snapped shut
ASHER.I fluttered my eyes open to take in my surroundings. The room was dimly lit up so I could barely make out anything from the shadows.Soon enough, the door flew open and someone walked in. My senses were flustered so I couldn't pick up any scent at that particular moment."Asher" He called out. I recognized him from his voice. It was Williams."You're okay." He blurted out with a smile on his face. I nodded my head slowly to to his outburst. "What happened out there?"I forced myself to sit, sucking in the pain so that it doesn't show. "Wolf hunters." I voiced out "I spotted them trying to come after me so I attacked them.""And...?" He trailed off expectantly."I killed them all.""And how is it that you were bruised and injured if you killed them?""They fought with Morgan Silver and you know how that stuff weakens me. It was brutal." I responded, holding to that side of my chest where the wounds were inflicted on me."You could've at least called. I was very worried. The e
