Jane
Something jumped out of the water behind me, getting me to shudder as I swam towards it.
The creature smiled at me but soon it noticed why I was coming to it and started to swim against the current.
We were werewolves but not gods or flying aliens. There was no way we were strong enough to move against hundreds of tons of force.
‘Keep pushing!’ I heard my wolf groan within me. ‘We are going to die if you don’t keep pushing!’
‘I’m trying,’ I grunted back, using everything I had in me but it was futile.
I didn’t have a solid ground to hold onto. All I had was my strength which was failing the more I fought against the water.
The beast tired out before me, falling backward as I heard it growl before falling to the bottom which was accompanied by a yelp.
JaneSomething churned in my stomach as I awoke and ran to my feet to throw up.I did it over and over again until I could not feel anything in my stomach.It was morning, the scent of coming rain and vomit being the scent which greeted me.I cleaned my mouth with the back of my hand, seeing that the reason for my unusual behavior had to be from the rat I had eaten the other night.I felt my stomach was full as I walked to the little stream which had fishes in it.Why didn’t I think of catching one of these? Instead I had to go for rats.I caught a fish but just then I found a brown bear growing towards me.Shit! This was the first thing that greeted me this morning. Was it always like this in the wild?It seemed like everything was trying to kill me. I couldn’t find any peace in this place.
JaneThis was going to be another tough fight, one I didn’t know if I would win.I raised my hand to show that I didn’t mean any harm as I got out of the cave.My clothes had already torn from too much wear and tear so I had turned it into an underwear to cover my private parts, however my stomach protruded with a bulge I didn’t like.With this stomach, I felt heavy and slower. With this amount of rogues, I was sure I would lose whatever fight I would have with them.“You killed our people and used their heads as guard keeps,” a male rogue stepped forward and spoke with a strange thick accent like he was struggling to talk. “We do not accept that and we will kill you.”I sighed. I was going to break my no speaking rule since this was something which could save my life.“Please,”
JaneI pushed my body up just in time to evade his slash but not without having a little tear in the base of my throat.It was only skin deep and nothing serious so I didn’t bother myself with fighting back. I was trying to get away from him.“Now you die!” he yelled, raising his sword to the skies and bringing it down, but it shattered to pieces.I looked behind him and found the witch still lying on the ground bleeding but using her powers to reform the shattered sword pieces into a sword outside his grip.With a flick of her wrist, she sent the sword flying through the rogue’s head as he dropped to the ground dead.She fell back to the ground exhausted and I did the same too, hearing the sheep bleating on the field.I stood up to slowly walk to the woman as I bled profusely from my privates.
Jane“Forgive me,” I said. “But I’ve had a very rough couple of months and I don’t think trust is what I can give out right now.”“I understand,” she sighed. Pulling up a chair to the edge of the tub, she sat and crossed her legs while I drank in her features.Her hair was white complimenting her narrow eyes and thin lips. She wasn’t wrinkled as old women were but she was graceful in the way she aged.Her fingers had around four rings spread out evenly on each hand.There was not much to look at seeing as her clothes consisted of a grey robe and a scarf on her neck.“I knew your parents,” she caught me off guard with that as I looked at her in shock.“What?” was all I could muster.“Yes,” she smiled. “Your par
JaneShe stood to her feet, walking around the bathroom with her hands wringing together.She looked worried and angry at the same time.“Your uncle hated us for what the Luna did to him, rejecting his advances and he deemed us all to be terrible creatures. Personally I knew the reason for our banishment but people didn’t.“Instead he tried to brainwash the pack by saying that werewolves and witches were not allowed to be together. The pack surprisingly believed his story. I was appalled but there was nothing I could do. So I packed up with my people and we left for the woods and the valleys.“We were banished and any of us seen defying the laws of the land were killed or tortured to death.”“Why didn’t you take me with you?”“By law he’s the one to care for you
JaneShe still had a confused look on her face. She didn’t understand me one bit but who could blame her? I was using a movie example to make sure I was not being brought out into the fields to be trained like some kind of shaolin monk.“So is this what it’s like? Is that what’s going to happen here?” I asked again just as the woman shrugged.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. And no, I can’t magically help you gain magical powers, I am not God. All I can do for you is help you train with it but right now, you don’t have those powers.”“So why are we here then?”“It’s getting late and it might rain. I just need help herding the sheep into the pen, that’s it.”“Oh,” was all I could say before helping her herd the creatures into
SinclairI had vowed never to love anyone no matter who the person was until Jane arrived and changed my mind.I met her and my cold heart suddenly started to feel things again. I fought against it so hard that I could feel my insides bleeding but I finally lost to my emotions seeing as I was not strong enough to go against what I had inside.I tried again and again to squash the growing feelings for the woman and kept the relationship between us to be purely business since she was only in my pack to give me a child.I even ignored the bond I could feel and distanced myself when the rumors started to circulate about her hoping it would stop my feelings for her from growing but it only got worse.At meetings while I would be having this internal struggle and strife on what I would do next, I would feel the elders and the judges knowing that something was wrong.
SinclairI got back home after failing to find her and I vowed to find her and treat her right.I sent out more and more scouts to scatter through the lands and the hilly areas, valleys included to find her and return her to me.They always came back with negative reports and each time they returned without news, my wolf would get mad and angry itching to kill something.During this period, Victoria tried to be in my good graces but I didn’t want her, I had who I wanted and she was who I was craving.“Baby, you shouldn’t bother about her. She’s gone. Shouldn’t you focus on your mate?” she told me that night while we ate dinner and I instantly lost my appetite.My anger got the better of me causing me to flip the large table before blitzing into her with my hands gripping her throat.“Brother, stop
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,
