Ethan’s POVI doubted the man was telling the truth. There was no way Jane would have magic. What sort of lie was this?I had to believe his brain was scrambled because there was no way he would tell me that Jane had magic. She was a wolf. Wolves didn’t have the ability to use magic. This was wrong on so many levels. How was this possible?I immediately knew this was not going to work out. Killing Jane would take more than just sending rogues. I needed to be precise and stealthy about this. I would have called some of my men to poison her but when I looked back at the past times this had not worked, I gave up and moved on.The only solution to this problem would be using Sullivan to fight against Jane head on.That was the only way this would work.Almost immediately, I called Sullivan over the phone as he picked it to let me know that he was at dinner with his family.“Look, I don’t give a rat's ass where you are, get out of there and talk to me about the plan.”My threat got to hi
Martha’s POVI thought of all the times I had faced off against the man. He was a powerful foe. For him to face off against indigo and me multiple times not only showed how superior he was but how crafty he was to show up everytime, prepared to not die.He showed up this time with his drugs. With each time he would meet a near death experience he would fight his way back by using the drugs.I could only smile at his resilience but I wondered why he was still coming after us. We had done nothing wrong to him and we barely even knew who he was so why would he want revenge against the pack?“I don’t even know who he is,” she said with a sigh. “He kidnapped my children and also tried to kill my people. He crossed the line and he paid with his life.”I looked into the room before walking in to meet indigo who had come around.She was awake now. She was no longer sleeping.“Hey, how are you?” she asked which had me chuckling.“You know, for someone who let loose and still lost, I have nothi
Sinclair’s POVThe next day at the meeting I had a lot of elders from both the magical side and the wolf side telling me what they wanted from me as a leader. They were scared these drugs would infect the other packs and very soon the packs would come after us.“That is not going to be possible, I’m sure of it. Not everyone would want to take those drugs. The effects might be lethal in the long run,” I said to them but none of them trusted me.“I’m sorry alpha,” a witch stood up. “But I have to side with the wolf elders on this one. You don’t see what we saw on that field that day. The wolves were breaking apart mountains to toss at us. Mountains! Do you even know how much mountains weigh? These wolves were doing it casually like it didn’t mean a thing. We need to stop them. And we need to do it now before these drugs are in full swing.”“What do we do to stop them?” I asked. “You all live amongst the masses so you all should know. All I am is the leader and even I can’t tell how thes
Sinclair’s POVWe still needed answers for how we would deal with the problem. But like I had already said to them, I was not going to kill anyone. They should remove that thought from their head. The people already feared me. But ever since Jane entered my life and took over as a Luna, everything had changed.She had brought about peace and made the entire pack see me as a loving father. I was no longer seen as the villain in this story. I was seen as the hero. However, why would I go ahead to destroy what I had finally built because I was scared someone was selling drugs in my home.This was something I needed to sniff out and get rid of the root. But I would never go against the people I had vowed to protect.At that moment, a guard rushed in to tell me that there were wolves outside the pack, demanding to see me.I had no meeting with any pack so wolves wanting to meet with me was something I had not accounted for.“Who is it?” I asked.“We don’t know sire,” the guard said. “The l
Sinclair’s POVI expected them to listen to me and run but instead they stayed and tried to engage with me physically again. That was when I knew they would not give up until they were dead.The general returned with more vials in his hands as he injected himself with the drugs and zipped into me, however when he got into range he exploded.I was shocked at this development and so were his people.“What did you do?!” one of them yelled at me as I shrugged. Pointing at the mess before me, I told them what I had discovered. “That drug you’re all taking to be as strong as me is making you all monsters. It messes with your insides and then you die. A very painful death. Trust me, in the end it’s not worth it.”They all stared at the general with fear in their eyes before looking up to face me.Slowly, they advanced with their eyes glowing green. They refused to believe their master had died on his own and instead proceeded to blame me for his death.I had told myself I would not be respo
Sinclair’s POVAnyone found with the drugs would be tried and sentenced to be studied by the scientists of the pack for months. The witches would also help to make sure there was no drug in the pack. This would be a difficult thing to do but I trusted my people to be capable of handling things like this.When the meeting was done, I headed for the room to see Jane watching Television.She took one look at me and her face went blank with horror.“What the devil happened to you?!” she squealed, zipping into me to hold me close to her body.“I was engaged in a fight,” was my reply.“And I’m sure this fight meant that no one on the other side survived?”I sighed and told her everything I had gone through. It was a terrible thing to say with my mouth now as I was supposed to have given up the life of a warrior a long time ago. This time I was supposed to be a peacemaker. I didn’t need to be involved in all of this chaos but somehow I was involved in the chaos. By the time I was done, she
Jane’s POVZipping into the men, I engaged them with a precise movement to fend them off without giving them any chance to engage back.They tried to fight back but I was stronger. My main aim was to make sure they didn’t drink that thing here with me.If they drank it or injected it, I would have a very big problem to deal with.But just as I was worried about this, I didn’t see one of them climb in from the window and inject himself with it.All I felt was a slap which had me tumbling to the side. It disoriented me and when I got myself, I found my children had been taken from me.I shook my head, walked to the window with a clear head to see them running into the pack.Ahead of them was a car waiting to take them out of the pack. If they got out I was sure there was no way I would see them again.I jumped out of the window, landing on all fours as I zipped forward, moving like a blur into the night that even the guards hadn’t noticed me.When I got out of the palace, instead of zip
Sinclair’s POVWhile we placed the children to sleep, I got fears that the attack had come from my enemies from other packs who wanted me dead or wanted to torture me for being as powerful as I was.The drug now was a common commodity out there in the world and I needed to curb it.I could see that other alpha’s didn’t want to curb it, instead they had embraced it which made me frown at how they could allow such abomination to be in their possession.I decided to do it myself. If they were not going to do anything to stop the madness called the miracle drug, then I would do something about it. I would destroy it and there was nothing they could do about it.That would mean that I would make an enemy out of all alphas around me.“You are awake.” She sat up in bed to stare at me after she was done. “I’ve got a lot of thinking to do if I’m going to be able to protect my children. I can’t imagine something this terrible had happened to you and the children. What if it had been a bloody m
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,
