VictoriaThe palace rumbled under the fights between the witches and the wolves.I was sure if this fight went on with this intensity, the palace would be brought down.I was impressed by the power of the witches, being able to match a wolf like Damian. He was one of those witches who combined the genius of a mad scientist with that of a rogue wolf.He loved to tamper with drugs which enhanced his strength by a hundred if not a thousand fold. It wasn’t enough to match a true Lycan like Sinclair but it was enough to cause significant damage.“We need to make sure the windows are closed,” noted Gail who zipped to look out of the window before closing it.She was going to be the problem I would have right now. I needed those children for my next plan to work. With her alive and kicking, it would make things harder for me.“You need to relax,” I sighed. “I don’t think anyone would be coming in here. Let’s be honest, that spell out there is hard enough to repel damages.”I looked at the do
IndigoThe beast was just as good as Sinclair. Whatever liquid he had taken had increased his already massive strength to a level I had not expected from him.He had the skills and the stamina to rival me. He was definitely on drugs. He had boosted his strength to a level which I could not imagine. When he moved like a blur towards me to smack me away, Martha came between us to protect me as she blasted him away with lightning which destroyed the land we stood on.The shockwave from that blast had me flying backwards in surprise as I had not been expecting that kind of attack, while the beast fell to the ground, his body melting from the blast.I got back up, ready to get back into the fight as Martha fell to the ground exhausted.She had used up every ounce of energy she had in her body.“Stop holding back,” she muttered to me. “Take that bastard out and do it quickly.”I nodded, watching the man stand to his feet, his body completely healed as his clothes were burnt off.“Did you t
MarthaI could see us losing this match. There was no way we could take on these wolves alone no matter how powerful we were.We were tired and my body was failing to keep me awake for much longer.“Let’s let them go,” I whispered to indigo. “We have other problems to worry about.”“You should listen to your friend,” the man chuckled. “You don’t want to end up in my bad radar and end up dying.”“I could end you where you stand,” she growled, which had the man chuckling.“You could, but you won’t do that. My warriors would kill you before you go anywhere. I would advise you to be careful how you do things so you wouldn’t end up dead. Trust me, you don’t want my warriors to tear you to pieces.”Who was he to threaten us? I wanted so badly to stop his heart from beating but that would take a lot of strength out of me and I already had my powers brimming around me as a protective shield.“It’s either I walk out of here with my men or my men kill you and your friend there,” he threatened.
MarthaI knew she would fall to the ground if she used her powers past her body limits.She tried using her powers even more but this only made it worse.Using my speed, I rushed into her, stopping her from powers as I found her eyes closed. She had passed out.This was my cue to take her into the palace to keep her safe while leading the pack.Guards approached us as I gave the orders for them to go after the criminals while the rest of them I have the orders to clean up the palace of the dead wolves.Because she wanted information she had not killed the wolf, she had toyed with him while showing her amazing powers, but that had only done so much as backfired. Now she had to pay the cost with her life.The guards helped me carry her into a palace room before I used the remainder of my powers to heal her up.When her aura was up and running, I left her in the room, stepping out to see the elders staring at me confused.“What is it?” one of them asked after seeing me in a crude way. “Y
JaneThat was a random question I had not expected from him but since it was out there, I thought up my reply quickly, ready to tell him what I had in mind.“She approached me a few months ago while I was still pregnant and she wanted peace,” I said. “I wasn’t going to turn her down. I was tired of fighting anyway.”He nodded. “I gave her a piece of my mind a few months ago. I’m sure she isn’t going to see you as an enemy anytime soon.”I laughed when he said that.We kissed some more before leaning back in the baths.“So… what’s this meeting about?” I asked. “You are to meet with the alpha of this pack?”“It’s our pack,” he said, shaking his head from side to side like he was thinking of what to say. “Well, a subordinate pack to be honest.”“And we are here…”“The alpha called us here to celebrate with him over his daughter's wedding as well as engage in war with his neighbors.”“His neighbors?” I asked. “Come on Sinclair. We aren’t here for war and you know that. We shouldn’t be thi
JaneNo, I shook my head. I was confident that if he went that route, Sinclair would be more than a match for him.Sullivan had so much to lose. He had his family and his pack. I didn’t want to be a villain but he would be wise to not start a war in his backyard as he would be the one hurt.Surely my people would suffer and many would die, but they would also be liberated at the end.Would I have the gods to kill him if I had the sword to his throat and he was on his knees with his family begging for a second chance?That was a tricky one. Before I had known that he was the one who killed my parents, I had been nonchalant about the pack and there were no thoughts to return to fight for it.Now, however, it was different. He had brought pain upon me and nothing but misery. With Martha telling me the history I didn’t know, I was sure if I entered the pack I would be a force to be reckoned with.I might not be as strong as Sinclair even with an amplification spell but I was strong enough
Sinclair’s POVI had fought with a couple of them in the past and I preferred fighting with witches than fighting against these science monsters who would amp up their strength to be as strong as alphas.I hated dealing with them.I suddenly remembered crossing paths with such a group that used science vials to ramp up their abilities. They were harder to put down seeing as they would drink the vial before every fight and we would go at it for several hours without them dropping down in exhaustion.Of course this would be me during a fight while I would be holding back, but it didn’t mean that I could not destroy them if I wanted to.“What about the children?” I asked but didn’t get any reply. I suddenly got worried and feared the worst. “Indigo, what about the children?”It was so silent I could tell the answer already. The children… something terrible had happened to them.“They got abducted by the rogues,” Martha took over. I growled in anger, holding the balcony with my right han
Sinclair’s POVIf I settled for war seeing as I wanted to knock some heads after the news I had received, I would be happy with the results later on. But right now, I had to deal with Jane.This was not going to be easy. It would be better dealing with arrows in the battlefields than telling a mother that her children had been kidnapped.Inhaling deeply, I entered the room to meet with the woman who smiled after seeing me.“Good morning sunshine,” I faked a smile. “Did you sleep well?”“Yes I did,” she smiled, noticing that something was wrong. “Wait, did something happen?”I hesitated, wondering if this was a good idea, but I knew it was not a good idea. “We need to talk,” I sighed. “The pack was under attack last night.”Her eyes widened in shock.“Did anyone get hurt?!” she asked.“Well, a lot of people died so I think the answer is yes.”“Sinclair this isn’t the time to be a wise ass. You really need to tell me what happened. People died and you’re making jokes with this.”“I’m s
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,
