Victorias POVHe was right. If he was here, no rogue would be stupid enough to attack us. I was glad he had been absent for that had made my plans work.Seeing Jane cry made my insides tickle. If I was not claiming to be injured, I would have cackled out loud and let them hear me laugh. However, I didn’t want to let them know my plans.I wasn’t done with them yet. The children were safe for now, but that would only last until I got my demands.“Can you excuse me?” I asked the alpha who nodded. “I need to leave the palace to stretch for a while. It would help me heal faster.”“Of course,” he said, standing out of my way as I walked past him.I was heading for the rogue pack but I would follow my own path.No one would know I was gone.I had a path through an underground bar even the spies didn’t know about. This was how I left the pack and returned at will whenever I wanted.When I had gone into the bar, I nodded to my guard who opened the cave door for me to walk through. Using my sp
Jane’s POV“How did this happen?” I asked with tears in my eyes. I needed my children safe and sound but having to deal with these women who were not giving me what I wanted had me crying.Those children were my everything. I had gone through hell and back for them.Coming to the realization of losing them was something I did not get.I had been gone for a few hours and the people had struck the night of my absence.I should have stayed.I had a bad feeling before I left the pack. Maybe it was the fact that I had not been away from the children before but I should have stayed.“We were ambushed,” Martha sighed. “We tried our best to hold back the threat and gave the children to Victoria and Gail. Indigo created spells for the door as did I before we left. We wanted them to be safe while we dealt with the enemy.“However, we didn’t know the enemies would climb up the window and attack from behind. By the time we were done dealing with the threats, we rushed into the room to see Victori
Indigo’s POVWhile dealing with the situation of the missing children, I got a message that I had a lead. It was about the children.Without checking back with my team, I packed my bags and rushed out to get to the lead.I put Martha in charge of the coven and the investigation but she refused to handle anything if I wasn’t going to be there. She wanted me to be present.“I finally have a lead to make up for the mistake I made and I am taking it,” I said at the gate while she held me back. “Don’t stop me from going. You already know what my answer is going to be.”“Come on,” she said. “We still have to do internal investigations first. We don’t really have to go that far. Besides, the lead you have wants you in the woods, not in towns. How would you get the children there? I doubt that it’s possible the children were taken there.”“We have to try,” I sighed. “And I am going. End of discussion. You should lead the coven while I’m gone.”“Wait, you’re going alone?”I raised a bag I had
Martha’s POVI stayed calm with Jane as I had dealt with men like these before.I could tell from their stance that they had not been in a formal battle before.“You all look like children,” I sighed. “Why don’t you six go back to your seats and leave us girls alone?”They turned to me and laughed.“We don’t even want your silly ass, but for that stuff you said, we’ll deal with you specially,” one of them said.I stood up with Jane calling for me to let her handle it.“No,” I smiled. “I can handle these guys without using my powers.”They didn’t know what I was talking about as they saw me as another wolf.One of them rushed into me with his knife which I knocked out of his hand, punching his nose which broke before I jumped into the air, kicking him backwards.The others stared at me in shock.I knew they would come with force so I fused my body with a little magic which would be enough to hurt them but not kill them.They all rushed into me giving me the chance to let loose a little
Jane’s POV“What’s the difference?” I asked. From the tone of her voice I could tell that she was going to start preaching to me but I was beyond that. I didn’t want to hear her preachings. “Nothing,” she shrugged while folding her arms. “Magic is not some cool power you can use for an upgrade. It’s more than that. Magic is a lifestyle. With magic you can create and destroy. With magic you can build and take down. Magic can be beautiful and it can be ugly. You don’t want to have magic with an ugly soul. Take it from me, it is never a good sign.”“But right now I need all the powers I can muster,” I retorted. “You faced off against this monster who could handle you and indigo at the same time. Do you think I’ll have a chance against such a beast when I fare against him?”She thought about it before leaning back in her chair. “Yes, I do agree that in this case you could do much better with magic than with any other power, but you shouldn’t forget that magic comes with a lot of other r
Indigo’s POVI walked around the forest. I had parked close to a cabin so it would be easier to locate my bike if I needed a fast getaway. My tracker led me to this desolate forest which looked like it was haunted by ghosts with the fog getting thicker and thicker.I slowly walked into the forest, creating an invisible shield around me just in case I got attacked.I looked at the tracker in my hand which led me to an empty piece of land.The dirt before me looked like it had been tampered with. Something was buried within. I used my powers to uncover the dirt which brought up a few traps around while also bringing out one of the spies I had sent on this mission.The tracker was on his belt.Whoever had done this was somewhere here monitoring me.“You can come out now!” I yelled, tossing the tracker to the ground. “You kind of win after killing my tracker. A stupid move but I’ll respect you for your ingenuity.”The trees around me rustled as I readied myself for a battle just as a man
Victoria’s POVA maid entered the room with haste about her. She looked worried.“We have trouble ma’am,” she said.“What is it?” I asked.“The alpha and Luna have gotten word about the location of the children.”Shit! I thought. How did it get to this?“Where are they now?” I hurried to my feet, ripping off the bandage from my eye to look into the mirror and found out it had healed completely.Even my legs were fine.“They are on their way to the pack.”I zipped to the window to see the convoy leaving the pack.“My phone,” I said as she handed me the phone which I used in calling Damian.“Hello,” he said with a lazy laugh. “Why call me now? I told you not to bother me with any of your frivolous…”“This isn’t time to dally around. Sinclair and Jane are on their way right now.”I heard him yell to his men to start plan b.“I’ll meet you at the docks. We’ll sell the children off there,” I sighed, about to cut the call as he stopped me.“This is going to cost you extra, I hope you know t
SinclairHe moved faster than a blur which was surprising seeing as no one could move that fast to me.His attacks were predictable. It was very simple seeing as he had no formal training on fight with anyone.I blocked his attacks with ease, weaving and dodging.When I got tired of his stupidity, I gave him a punch squarely in the chest which sent him flying hundreds feet away from me.On a normal day, that punch would have gone through him, killing him instantly, but it seemed like the drug he had taken was enough to harden his body giving him extra stability alongside ramping up his strength and speed.I zipped around to meet up with him while he stood to his feet.He moved around the dock as everyone soon knew that a battle was imminent and started to run for safety.I started everyone on the field while chasing after the creature.He was fast enough to evade me but for how long before the effects of the drug would wear off.I had fought with one of his lackeys before. They maxed
Jane’s POV“I’m coming for you Sinclair,” I muttered before running out of the pack at high speed.With each step I took I could feel my speed and strength coming back as I zipped through the pack leaving the pack to the mercy of a rampaging Sinclair.I ran for minutes, passing a wreck site before meeting Martha and the rest of the pack on the road heading for Sullivan’s pack.“Are you okay?” she asked with indigo floating to me as I nodded.“I am.”“Where is the alpha?”“He lost control and right now he’s destroying the entire pack.”“Good for those bastards,” I heard Indigo mutter with some of the witches muttering in agreement.“Those people didn’t do anything wrong to him. The one who did was Sullivan and I’m sure he’s dead right now. Same thing goes for Ethan. He’s probably dead. Sinclair has so much anger and rage in his body that he would do anything to break through the world if possible.”“It’s the magic. He’s lost his humanity,” said Martha. “I’m guessing you used the hex.”
Sinclair’s POVShe nodded looking at the hex. She concentrated on it, using her magic to infuse into the hex.“Are you thinking of how to put it on?” I asked her as she nodded.“Just give me a moment.”I would give her the amount of time she needed. So long as I would get my super strength at the end of the day. I would rather die an alpha's death than escape a coward.She closed her eyes, putting her thumb to her mouth as she bit it and poured some blood on the hex which turned to a phone-like device with a lever.She pushed it down with two holes appearing on its side. Soon enough the holes released a lot of smoke in my direction before going out into the open.I felt my strength returning slowly.“The smoke is getting heavier,” she said to her feet.I casually stood up, breaking the chains holding me down. I was at full strength now and I could still feel my powers growing.I grabbed hold of her chains, breaking them off.“I don’t feel so bad. I mean, I can still feel my powers gro
Jane’s POVHe sighed, looking to his knees. “I even had a fight with the witches before leaving. She was trying to explain something to me and I pushed her aside in anger. I wanted to understand why you would cheat on me so I decided to come here on my own and see what was going on.”I couldn’t blame him. Ethan was a snake. Ethan had made me leave the pack anyway.“Ethan was behind this all along,” he blurted as I stared at him in shock.“He what?!”“He did so much to you that you don’t even know it’s from him. Ethan needs to be stopped permanently.”I agreed with him.I told him about the hex Martha had created for me which would amplify my powers and he was fascinated by it.“So how does this work? Do we say some magic word or do we just use it alongside your powers?”“Magic words are fine. We’ll use the magic hex like a smoke screen to escape but we have to be very careful as the hex has different sides to them.”He tilted his head. “What do you mean?”I could see his wounds were n
Sinclair’s POVNow I had to deal with my stubbornness. It had brought me to the end.The door opened again with two hefty guards getting in.They looked at me and opened my cell, dragging me by the chains out of the cell.I didn’t expect them to treat me nicely since I was going to die anyway and I couldn’t pretend how much it hurt, leaving everything in the care of my brother.He was a wrecking ball. The pack would crash in a few days.He lacked the leadership skills I had. He was impatient, unkind and crude to people. There was no way he was capable of leading the pack.I was dragged out of the building with the crowd screaming for my head to roll.The guards took me to a podium to tie me down to a ledge. There I would stay and wait for my execution to arrive.***Jane’s POVI was dragged out by one of the guards as they said the alpha was about to be killed off so I needed to see him.He dragged me out of the room like I was a child and we were out of the room soon enough, walking
Martha’s POVNow this man’s words were the last straw for me. I stood up with a frown.“Those who will ride with me to take out Ethan should follow me,” I walked to the door. “Those who choose to stay have sided with Ethan. You don’t know how dangerous you are until you have tried fighting the beasts you fear.”Walking out of the throne room made me feel weak. What if no one followed me? I thought to myself. What if I walked out and looked back only to find no one but myself? That would hurt. Everything I had given to this pack would be taken for granted. No one would see me and Indigo as leader material and I would not be chosen to lead alongside indigo again.When I reached the gate, I heaved a heavy breath, turning to see everyone from the throne room before me. Even the ones who had refused to follow were present.“You all showed up,” I smiled.One of the wolves stepped forward. “I figured since we were going to die anyway, we might as well make it mean something. The people in t
Martha’s POVMy eyes darted from big to small, taking in their sights. Anyone who moved carelessly would take in my wrath which I was glad to give off.“Anyone who has something to say would say it when the time is right. For now, I would advise you all to sit down and let her finish with the story.”Everyone settled down as I waved for the girl to continue but she told me she was done.The story was unbelievable. Sinclair, defeated? That was not possible. Even I found that hard to believe. It was Sinclair we were talking about. There was no way he would be beaten by anyone. I could not even fight with him on even grounds without taking a beating. How had he lost?Yes, she had said he was taken down by three alphas and a lot of wolves, plus he had been shot by archers who had wolfsbane infused poisoned arrows but it wasn’t a concrete story I would believe so blindly.“Are you sure of what you’re saying or you’re making stuff up?” I asked the wolves on my side for a change. “Because le
Jane’s POV“Do you even see how ridiculous you sound?” the old alpha growled. “You would die for him? You would prefer dying with him? I wasn’t even going to kill you yet but imprison you until you die but if that is the route you want to go through then so be it. I will take off your head alongside his! Is that you last wish?”“That is my last wish,” I confirmed. “I want to die alongside my alpha. I would rather go with him than be in this world without my mate.”Damien stepped forward putting his phone into his pocket. He was visibly worried by what I had said.“Are you mad?” he growled. “You seriously want to do this? You want to let everything you’ve created go just like that because of him? You would rather die for him than live? What about your children I kidnapped the last time? They don’t mean anything to you?”“Stay out of this rogue,” I growled. “It’s not like you care about me. When you chose to kidnap my children you don’t care. I suggest you sit this one out.”Sullivan fe
Jane’s POVWas this all my fault? Why had he not seen this attack? This was so unlike him.“Don’t blame yourself for it,” he laughed louder this time. “He was bound to fall someday. It was only going to take some time.”When he was done, he walked to the television, disconnected his phone and left.I was left alone for hours as the guilt penetrated my soul. I had single handedly killed the alpha and destroyed the pack.If I had actually talked with him and let him know of my plans this would not have happened.Now I had destroyed everything he had built from the ground up. I had embarrassed him and killed him. This was all my fault.Why didn’t he go to Martha and indigo? I had given him the hint to go to them. Or had Martha not told him anything?I had been captured, he was supposed to know that I would be here after talking with the witches.Now I felt really guilty and my heart sank with unhappiness. Watching those videos and seeing him in that awful state made me shed tears of sad
Jane’s POV“Ethan?!” I gasped. This was a surprise as he laughed.“Surprise.”“Are you here to rescue me?” I laughed. “I knew Sinclair wouldn’t trust that I was in the pack. These guys…”“Kidnapped you, yes, I know,” he completed with a cold smile.“Yes, and they held me back. The guy on red there is Sullivan, the other one is Damien and the…”He turned to the men and spoke to them in hushed tones as they nodded, leaving with the guard.Now we were alone, behind closed doors.“What is going on?” I asked. “What did they say? Are they going to release me? Did they say anything about releasing me?”“Jane,” he said as I looked at him. “Yeah.”“Shut up. Just shut the fuck up!”I was taken aback by his sudden outburst. I had not expected that. What was going on?“Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?”“You don’t seem to care about my feelings for you,” he sighed.“Please stop and help me.”“I seem to forget which one of us is in chains and which one is free. Because last time I checked,
