Martha’s POVI was too angry to speak to anyone and since the leader was sick I had to represent her in the meeting with the alpha.I was about to leave when I heard someone call my name.I ignored it and kept wearing my clothes as I looked at the wall clock in my room. It was almost time for the morning meeting.A loud bang on my door had me shuddering to reality as I turned to see indigo standing there.If she was there to fight with me, I swore to give her the piece of me she wouldn’t like and I was sure I would make sure she regretted it.“What do you want?” I asked while looking into the mirror. I didn’t want to look at her. I was too mad to think straight.“I’m here to apologize.”“It’s too late. You shouldn’t be out of the healer's place until you’re done.”“Can we at least talk?” She entered my room without permission. She was the leader of the given anyway. She could do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted.“I’m kind of busy.”“Martha,” she called to me as I turned to look
Martha’s POVI listened to the complaints of most of the elders as they talked about the new drugs which had been raging through each town. It was said these new drugs had the ability to make people get stronger with each passing minute.This was called the miracle drug. I had to make sure to avoid getting hit by someone drinking this drug. It would hurt if that happened.They argued and talked and all I did was listen, but soon I spaced out.The rest of the day went by without a hitch before I found myself walking home.While passing through an alley, I found a couple of boys there, trying out the new drug.“This is going to be a long day,” I sighed before entering the alley to beat them up, threaten them to not try it again and be on my way to the coven after smashing the drug.I would have liked to call Jane out to see if she was okay but we had to stay away from each other for a while.She had her family to focus on. I on the other hand had my coven. On reaching the coven, indigo
Ethan’s POVI looked at the burning pack, its flames reaching into the skies. Very soon the closest pack which turned out to be my brothers would be here to investigate what had happened.We had to get out of here or risk fighting against my fathers elite army.They were strong enough to beat me in a fight, it was clear in aspect of numbers as well that they would destroy my army.“Let’s get back to our pack. We’ll hide there until this heat has gone low.”Taking my team back, we got back to our pack where they were making a ton of progress producing my fake drugs with low budget strength. I knew I wanted my brother to be taken down but if he would be removed then I had to make sure he had enough distraction before the killing blow.I still wanted the witches gone. It was because of them and that stupid bitch Jane that I had clearly gone out of my way to create this plan which was going successfully which I was glad about.Now it would only be a matter of time before I would strike a
Jane’s POV“Wait!” The man squealed, halting me from dropping the call. Who did he think he was?“What do you want, Sullivan? I’ve got things to do.”The man was taken aback by the way I called his name. I had never done that before and it was shocking him to his bones.“I don’t know why you’re mad at me but I haven’t done anything to deserve this,” he said. “I gave you a wonderful life. I even had you married to an alpha. You haven’t thanked me for that. How could you be so cruel to treat me this way after all I have done for you?”“I don’t care about you or your thoughts,” I said in anger. Was he guilt tripping me? Because if he was then it wasn’t going to work. “I’m a busy woman and I need my time for myself. So tell me what you want and let me know what I can help you with.”He cussed in the background before getting back to the phone. He was mad that I didn’t care about him or give a rat's ass about his well being. Good. Now he knew what it felt like when he was killing my paren
Jane’s POV“That’s the thing Jane,” he said. “The will is missing. Someone stole it or maybe it’s here and I can’t find it. They’re your parents. I was thinking you would know where it is. And besides, why don’t you trust me? The life you’re living now I gave it to you. I made you what you are.”“Okay, this is the part where I hang up.”“Okay!” he yelled. My threats were beginning to get to him. “I’m sorry. But I really need your help with this. If you can help me work through this that would be very helpful.”I also thought deeply about this. Maybe he was telling the truth, but he was still my parents' killer. Did I need to believe whatever he would say? That was very wrong to do considering what he had done.I remembered being small and going around with my nanny. They had shown me a couple of times where my parents kept their important files, but I knew that the bastard called Sullivan must have raided the safe to get the files out of there. But if he had gotten the files out of t
Jane’s POVI stood up to pace around the room. I noticed that my hands were shaking. This was odd seeing as I didn’t usually get scared from calls like this. But I was scared.Sullivan had tortured me while I grew up under his care. He had used the lies that he was my fathers replacement and my fathers brother to brainwash the entire pack into letting me stay at the pack under his own control.I hated him for everything he had done to me. He has treated me like a slave with the entire pack not even knowing.I had been let out during my mating period and he had made sure everyone saw that I was getting mated to an alpha even if he was a terrible one at the time due to rumors.Now if I were to attack him, the pack would call me ungrateful. That I was biting the hand which fed me. The truth here being that they had seen what Sullivan wanted them to see while I would suffer in silence because they could not see my past sufferings and I had been silent throughout my time in the pack.I hat
Jane’s POVHe slammed his sword into mine, shattering the wooden weapon I held up to protect myself with. I had not seen that coming as my hope had been that the sword would protect me from damage.Just in time, I jumped two paces back to avoid any future attacks from the alpha.“Sorry about that,” he straightened up looking at his own dented sword. “These swords are too old.”“Or maybe it’s because we are wolves and we are using wood to fight?” I laughed. “How about we use our claws and fists? I’m sure our bones can take the hits.”He tossed the weapon away and gestured for me to attack him.I would not use magic against him. I would attack him head on as he wasn’t a big threat to me. He might be the alpha but after what I had learned with the witches I was very sure I didn’t need to fear him anymore. He was just another opponent to me that I could take down without trouble.We clashed into each other, punching and kicking and I found myself kicking harder than usual while he chuckl
Jane’s POVI felt great. I was finally the Luna who had united the wolf and the witches in the pack. I was the glue uniting the two species.I could use both species' powers. I was powerful enough to spar with the alpha on even terms even though he was clearly holding back.My relationship with the pack wasn’t perfect but we were still working to make it a perfect reality.While the two women argued about who was right and wrong, I had the urge to tell them about the call I had made last night, but they would advise me to not listen to Sullivan. They already hated him. They didn’t trust him or his lies.The women would tell me how much they detested him and how they preferred if I would go with Sinclair. I could play out all they would say, so I held back my words.They would not be on my side in this.Watching them bicker had me smiling. They were my mothers. They had taken over the roles of being my parents as they helped me train, take care of my children and protected the pack whe
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,
