I wondered if there was some kind of event going on in the Pack when we arrived. As expected, Ryan had doubled the security of the Pack border but my men were more than prepared for the assault that followed. My Beta, who had been hankering on being beside me in any place I went, came long, and his contribution at the border was quite substantial.The dark, night sky was graced with a half grown moon and a few stars, so the world was basically as black as charcoal. But our perfect werewolf eyesight was able to let us see our enemies as though it was daylight.They were stationed at every nook and cranny of the border, so they already knew we were coming and stood at the fringes of the line that separated the Pack from another territory, patiently waiting for their kill.There were no negotiations since I wanted to save my woman and take her back home. I knew she was still alive but I had this feeling that she was terribly hurt, and the thought alone drove me crazy. I wondered what Rya
The fact that she was crying, the fact that she must have been hurt and that she was in pains drove me nuts, making me go wild with rage. As I neared the location, I could get a whiff of Ryan's scent was well. He was with her! He was torturing her, doing to her whatever he pleased.Only the Goddess knew what I would do to him once I caught hold of his neck. His dead guards were not enough to pacify me at the moment. The celebration outside didn't seem to be going on any longer after they had seen me come into the Pack in such a furious manner.I guess everyone had scampered for safety, and had run for dear life. But nevertheless, the music was still bouncing off the numb edges of my brain. I slowly walked towards the room after I had decided to calm down, not wanting to fall into any kind of trap.I had to be calm to think straight or else I would allow my anger get the better of me and that consequences would be very dire, meaning my struggle would amount to nothing. From the distanc
I knew it was up for me the moment I heard something stir in the background. Glancing out of the window, I could see the Pack members who had been partying outside scampering for safety. I did not give it much thought that he had been able to get through the border but I was struck. I couldn't see how he must have passed through the tight security that was stationed at the boundary, even though he had come with all his men.I didn't want to think about it but the thought kept forcing its way back to my kind. Leaving me a bit startled as I wondered what would become of me if he was able to scale through the guards in the Palace door just in case he miraculously got into the Pack. If he was alone, and he managed to kill the number of Warriors at the Border, then I was in for somedeep, deep trouble. How was that even possible? I said as I strained my ear to hear and note where he was at the moment. I could hear his feet thudding and his wolf drawing in sharp breaths as he searched for h
My skin was already heated and I broke out into a cold sweat as I heard his quiet, almost silent, footsteps thud on the floor as he walked into the Conference room/Palace. I turned around and walked up to the b*tch who was still cradling her bleeding face on the corner of the bed.I felt like inflicting more injuries on her before Asher would come here, since the guards would definitely be no match for him. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was captured. That would even be the best thing that had happened in years. If that happened by any chance, I would make sure I turned him into his worst nightmare.My mind was already making up the evil that would proceed his capture, but I didn't have to be too sure. I still had to wait to see how things would turn out. I could still hear his every move and every harsh sniff he made to catch the scent of his mate.Wolfsbane had been used on her, so it would take some doing before he would be able to find her using her scent. "Ryan, stop!" She mut
LIA.I did not believe it but here it was. Happening before my very eyes. She ran into the arms of her mate whose eyes were transfixed on me, he refused to stop staring at me and I didn't stop staring back. A taunting smirk was spread across my face as I watched him move about restlessly, obviously pained by the whole thing he was seeing. No sane man wouldn't be pained by that kind of thing though. I decided to keep my cool and see what he would do. He turned to look at his mate again and his heart sank. I knew it from the way he looked. He wasn't pleased a bit and I guessed he was looking for the perfect way to retaliate. I couldn't stop wishing for my father, perhaps things wouldn't have been this hard if he was here. They seemed to be equally matched as none of them were able to defeat the other. It always ended with both sides receiving the same amount of injuries. But the present situation was a whole thing altogether. Breaking into a cold sweat when I saw his chest rise in
LIA.He looked down at me murderously before turning towards her. He grabbed her hands and they walked out of the room together, hand in hand. But he soon carried her up and began to rush out of the Packhouse. I was sprawled in my room, still recovering from his strangle. My senses were slowly returning but I still felt dazed. There was an immediate rush of blood down my throat the moment he left me. I closed my eyes and took in large gulps of air while I heard their footsteps retreating from the Packhouse. I slowly opened my eyes, still noting the pulsating feeling in my forehead. The vein in the center of my head was beating very loudly so that I wondered what I was really going through within the few minutes Alpha Asher grabbed my neck like I was a criminal. I stayed in that position for a while and nobody came to attend to me, since I didn't want them to come help me. Perhaps Alpha Asher had warned me not to, or I'd be forced to face a bigger problem if I did. Thankfully I'd l
ASHER’S POVThe both of us left immediately after I had given him the lesson of his life. In that way he and his father would think twice about doing anything to attack my woman or something of that sort. Perhaps that would keep them away for a while but there was every possibility that they would attack or send warriors tomorrow, so the best thing was to make sure we were equipped.The best thing was to make sure that everyone didn't rest until it was over. Alpha Lance was a very Unforgiving and radical person, and anyone could know what he intended to do next. If we hadn't done it that way with his son, he wouldn't still have any respect for me and would jump at every chance to hurt and steal Lia from me whenever he got the chance.Alpha Lance could have been given a good lesson on that as well but he wasn't in the Pack when the whole thing was going on, so I guessed he would be back soon. I was pretty sure that the news had already reached him that we attacked the Pack, killed plen
ASHER’S POVThat was when my eyes caught something from a distance. A figure jumped down from one of the trees and began to come towards me. I wondered if something had gone wrong and they all had been taken captive. I hoped not, because they were the strongest warriors I had.William's scent continued to get closer and stronger than ever, and the fact that he hadn't responded to me through the mind link pissed me and scared me at the same time. It scared me because they might have been attacked, which was perhaps the trap Alpha Ryan was talking about when I met him in his room.I turned around impatiently, waiting to catch his aura that was now fading slowly. My eyes began to flit and observe every part of the woods. I remained in my position, my confidence unwavering. Shutting off every source of panic I continued to scan the area in anticipation of my Beta who seemed to be playing tricks on me.The figure continued to approach me, making me grow more and more confused. Then he sudd
