ALPHA RYAN."Besides he's an old man already. We have two generals and I'm sure both of you can take care of that. Am i right?" I asked, glaring at him."Of course your grace, the both of us can take care of the boys." He said, which made me smile. He would have made the biggest stake of its life by saying no.Turning around, I began to walk back towards the Packhouse, my strength utterly drained. I do not understand why things were going on this way but one thing I knew for sure was that it was happening for a good reason. I couldn't get myself to understand why my father was taking the decision he had already made.It came out of nowhere and it was drastically going to change everything but there was no problem with it since everything was happening a day before they would leave, so I'm guessing they had already received the training they needed and he must have thought them everything everything everything needed to now about the Pack we were going to besiege tomorrow.If things go
ALPHA RYAN.The blare of my alarm had be jumping up from the bed. I looked around frantically as I wondered what was going on. Despite the blare from my alarm, there was still another blare downstairs.Something that sounded like the trumpet of war. I tried understand what was happening but I couldn't see anything. I wondered if we had been attacked by Alpha Asher, has the war already began?Had my men been killed? I thought as I frantically wedged myself out of the bed. I shut my alarm immediately before I walked towards the window side to see what was happening. I looked down only to discover that the men were already lined up on the terrain, and they were doing their final training.I smiled, before turning around to walk inside the room. I was very impressed with the way things were going on, my father would be utterly disappointed when they did what he thought they couldn't. Only till dawn and all this would be over, and Alpha Asher’s case would be treated once and for all.I w
ASHER'S POV.The soft light at the end of her bed was gradually burning out. And the winds of dawn were gradually blowing across the Packhouse. I shuddered before rubbing my palms intensely, warming my cheeks before looking back across the room for any signs of my Beta. He wasn't there, I guessed he was somewhere in the camps, gathering the warriors and having them do the final preparations so we could go to the boundary. We had already removed word from our spies that they left last evening, and were on their way. I sighed, wondering what the outcome of the war would be. This was my first great war, and I wasn't going to lose it.As I sit across from Lia, I can feel the mate bond between us growing stronger with each passing moment. It's almost overwhelming, this intense desire to be with her, to touch her, to feel her soft skin against mine. I try to push these thoughts to the back of my mind, knowing that I have a duty to fulfil.But it's so hard. Every fibre of my being wants to
ALPHA ASHER’S POVI moved through the enemy camp with stealth and precision, my senses heightened as I searched for Alpha Ryan and Alpha Lance. These were the leaders of the enemy Pack, and I knew that if I could take them out, the rest of their group would fall like dominoes.I came across three guards and without hesitation, I took them out with quick and efficient strikes. Their bodies hit the ground with a thud, and I moved on, my heart racing with adrenaline. After that I continued to trudge on, making sure I watched my sides as I creeped towards the men upfront. Some of them were running in all directions the moment they saw me. They were very scared and couldn't help but run. I guess these were bought warriors. Wolves who belonged to the Pack would fight until they died, they never surrendered. The camp where they had been was in a state of disarray and there were dead bodies littered everywhere. Some tents were already ravaged by fire and in the backdrop was the whining on wou
ALPHA ASHER’S POVI stand on a rise, overlooking the valley below. The sun is setting, casting a golden glow over the landscape. I raise my hand, cupping it around my mouth to amplify my voice, and call out to my men."Warriors of the Pack," I shout, my voice carrying on the wind. "Come forth and gather. Our mission is complete, and it's time for us to return home."I hear a rustling in the bushes and the snapping of twigs as my men emerge from the surrounding forest. They come from all directions, their faces dirty and their clothes torn from the battles we've fought. They had dispersed to see if there were any survivors but it looked like there weren't any more survivors. The ones we found had already been taken to be treated immediately while Ryan's survivors were killed immediately. We couldn't afford to keep them alive or things would get out of hand. Especially as they were bought soldiers, they were capable of anything. And that's why I couldn't afford to trust any of them.The
ALPHA ASHER POVI stood at the boulder in the camp, my eyes scanning the faces of my warriors as they eagerly gather their fighting tools and prepare to head back to our Pack. The war is over and we have emerged victorious, but my heart is heavy with the memory of my mate, Lai, and the way she was treated by Ryan and Lance, the Alphas of the rival Pack.I remember how they took her from me, using her as a laboratory experiment, subjecting her to unspeakable atrocities.I made a mental note of what I would do the day I would match for their Pack and deal with them.***The rage boils within me, and I let out a fierce howl, signaling to my Pack that it is time for vengeance.My warriors respond with a chorus of howls, the sound sending shivers down my spine. I can see the determination and loyalty in their eyes, and it fills me with pride to lead such a fierce and united Pack.We move out, our strides purposeful as we head towards Ryan and Lance's territory. The wind carries the scent o
Ryan's Pov.I stood at the window of my Packhouse, looking out over the daily activities of my Pack. The hustle and bustle of the Pack members going about their day is a familiar sight, but one that has taken on a different meaning in the wake of the recent war.The smell of smoke and ashes still linger in the air, a reminder of the destruction we faced. The once proud banners of my Pack lay in tatters, the once-vibrant colors now dull and singed by the war. The ground is littered with the bodies of fallen warriors, their weapons discarded by their side. The sight of the devastation is a painful reminder of the cost of our defeat.The Pack members move about with a sense of resignation, their faces showing signs of exhaustion and grief. Many are injured, their wounds bandaged and their steps slow and unsteady. The few warriors left in our pack stand guard, their weapons at the ready, but their eyes are haunted by the memory of the battle.The once-thriving Pack I once led is now a sh
Ryan's Pov.I feel my heart heavy with dread and my stomach twisted with guilt as I hear the news that we have lost the war. My mind is racing with thoughts of all the things that I could have done differently, all the mistakes I made that led to this outcome.I can feel the anger rising within me, a white-hot fury that threatens to consume me. I can't help but feel like a failure, like I have let my Pack down. I had failed to protect them, and now they are facing the consequences of my failures.In my anger, I lash out, scattering everything in my room. I can hear the sound of breaking glass and splintering wood as I destroy everything in my path. My chest is heaving with the force of my anger, my hands shaking with the intensity of my emotions.I can feel the tears streaming down my face, a mix of anger and despair. I had let my Pack down, and now they are facing the consequences of my failures. I can only hope that somehow, someway, I will be able to make amends for my mistakes an
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
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
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
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
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
ASHER'S POV.As I walked into the quarters where the warriors Raya had brought were staying, I was immediately struck by the flurry of activity. There were people everywhere, rushing around and preparing for the mission ahead. Weapons were being sharpened and polished, gear was being packed and checked, and there was a general sense of excitement and anticipation in the air.I walked through the crowds, taking in the scenery and the way the warriors were scattered in groups, talking and laughing and preparing for battle. It was clear that these were experienced fighters, each one ready and willing to do whatever it took to ensure the success of our mission.As I made my way through the bustling crowds, I eventually found myself outside of Raya's room. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should interrupt her, but ultimately decided that it was important to talk to her.As I opened the door, I was surprised to see Raya engaged in a passionate embrace with a man I didn't recognize. The
ASHER'S POV.As I stood on my balcony, overlooking the courtyard below, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in Raya. She had just returned from a meeting with the Alpha King, and she had brought back a large group of warriors with her. They were all gathered in the courtyard, discussing their plans to destroy the lab where Alpha Lance was breeding anomalies.I watched as Raya moved among them, her hair streaming behind her in the breeze. She looked fierce and determined, and I couldn't help but feel a swell of admiration for her. She had always been strong-willed and independent, and seeing her take charge like this was a sight to behold.The last mission was not any different from this one because Lance could be restructuring and regathering new warriors. It had been a dangerous mission, but we had succeeded in getting Lia back safely.Now, we were going back to Lance's Pack to destroy the lab where Lia's gene could have been used to perfect the anomalies. It was a risky plan,
ASHER'S POV.I wake up to the sound of Lia's breathing. Her eyes are still closed, but her lips are curled up in a small smile, making my heart skip a beat. I gently brush her hair away from her face and place a soft kiss on her forehead. She stirs slightly, but doesn't wake up. I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.The warm water from the shower is soothing as it cascades down my body, washing away the sweat and dirt from last night's battle and lovemaking. My mind wanders to Lia and the way she moaned my name as we made love. The thought alone makes me hard again. I quickly finish my shower and wrap a towel around my waist before heading back to the bedroom.Lia is still asleep, but her breathing is more peaceful. I kiss her forehead again before getting dressed. As I walk out of the room, I feel a sense of excitement in my chest. I know what I want to do, and I'm eager to do it. I head down to the packhouse and meet with William, my beta, who greets me with a smile."Good morn
ASHER'S POV.As I leaned in for a kiss, I could feel the passion and desire burning inside of me. My lips met hers and the world disappeared around us. Lia kissed me back with an intensity that I had never felt before. Her lips were soft and warm, and I couldn't get enough of them.Our tongues entwined, exploring each other's mouths. I pulled her closer to me, my hands roaming over her body. Lia moaned softly, her hands gripping my shoulders. I could feel the electricity sparking between us, the chemistry palpable.As we kissed, I felt like I was finally home. Lia was my mate, my soulmate, and being with her was everything I had ever wanted. We pulled away from each other, panting and breathless.As I leaned in for the kiss, I felt a surge of electricity between us. Lia's lips were soft and warm, and her tongue danced around mine. I couldn't get enough of her. My hands roamed her body, feeling the curves and contours that I knew so well.Her body was mine, and I wanted to explore ever
