VictoriaCounting the minutes until the dinner announcement would be made, I paced around the room, hoping the alpha would be back before anything would happen to her.I wanted him to look at me dying while also looking at her and that would make him know who to save.Of course it didn’t matter who he went after, I would still live and she would die.I walked to the window to see the setting sun had set the skies orange and knew very soon it would be dinner time.Almost immediately, a knock came on the door as I turned to see a maid enter.“It’s dinner time ma’am,” she said and I nodded.I followed her to the dining table to find the woman already sitting down at the table.She had evaded my plans long enough but this was going to be the last straw. She would not evade this one.She was going to die for what she had done. She had no idea how long I had been waiting for this moment to arrive. She was nothing before me. She had no idea who I was or what I was capable of.I settled in my
JaneI watched her maids take over as the door was closed on my face.I didn’t want to stand around and look stupid so I walked away.I headed for the kitchen to see the guards carrying out a dead body of a maid with the entire kitchen staff working tirelessly to discard all cooked foods from the kitchen.“That’s a lot of food to waste,” I thought.Gail walked to me with a bow. “It is needed. We don’t know who might have done this deed and what the person was trying to achieve. “Since you were not poisoned, I’ll say you weren’t affected, but the food meant for you was switched and eaten by that dead maid while Victoria was given the same poison. The entire kitchen staff would work tirelessly until order is restored.”I nodded, walking to my bedroom. I changed into my nightgown, walking to the balcony to stand and catch my breath. I had almost died from that attack.“Are you okay?” I heard him say behind me as I turned to see the alpha. He had a concerned look on his face. I hadn’t ev
JaneI watched him move and all I could think of was that night. It had to be him. He was the one I had slept with that night.“Alright, we’re all set,” he said after brushing his teeth as he joined me in the shower.I smiled at him but could not take off the resemblance to his figure, the tattoos and how he had handled me during sex. It felt like the sex I had had at the bar that night.It was too soon, but I knew I could bring up something.“Did you ever go to another pack recently?” I asked.“What do you mean?”“Maybe you visited a bar and you slept with a lady?”“What are you talking about?” his narrowed eyes told me all I needed to know. He didn’t know what I was talking about and he was not about to fall into my question asking mood.With a sigh, I dropped the topic.“Are you okay?” he asked as he played with my feet while massaging it from the other side of the bathtub.“Yeah,” I smiled, enjoying the moment. Staring at the man before me I could not believe he was capable of ca
JaneThe handsome man before me in his tank top and black shorts had the build of someone who had been exercising regularly for the past few months just to show up to a modeling gig.He was not as muscular as Sinclair but his body showed that he had put a lot of dedication to achieving his body shape.He looked like a younger and smaller version of his brother. The smile, the dangerous eyes, everything had me feeling like I was in some kind of deja vu between the brothers.He looked at me before winking as I grimaced at how weird he looked doing that to me.“Ethan,” called Sinclair with a stern voice. “Please refrain from winking at my mate.”“She must be lovely to be with you,” smiled the man. “And where is Victoria? I don’t see her anywhere.”I knew what he was doing. He was trying to make me feel like I didn’t belong but he was doing that to the wrong person. I knew who I was and I was not going to be called out by this man no matter who he was.A maid appeared beside Sinclair as t
Jane“Are you okay?” He asked me as I shook my head getting back to the present.I wanted to ask him about his tattoos as a guard joined us notifying him of registering which he excused himself to do.“What have I done?” I muttered to myself as I walked to the gate to see the two brothers talking.“No, you are not joining the tournament,” said Sinclair who walked into the palace with his brother trudging stubbornly behind him.“It’s not your business what I do, you cannot revoke my right to join,” said Ethan, mad at his brother's decision.I watched them get into the palace arguing as I looked through the gates to see people working on the banners.“Do you have plans of going into the pack?” Gail asked me as I shook my head. “Why not?”I couldn’t answer. I did not want to get on the nerves of the alpha. He had his rules and I was to stay put in the palace.If he found out about my exit from the grounds, I would be reprimanded for it. Besides, the last time had not ended well for me.
EthanIt was my turn to fight my opponent and I flexed my muscles before cracking my neck.I huffed around and looked to the stands to see the women there fawning over me. It was nice to know that I was still the favorite for the ladies amongst my brother and I.He was always brooding and he wasn’t fun to be around. He was stronger and faster than I was but it didn’t mean I couldn’t take him on in a fight.I just needed to practice a little more and I would be able to take out my opponents.“The ring is open for you two to get into,” someone said to me as I nodded, jumping from foot to foot to get myself ready for the fight.I walked into the ring to hear more cheers from the ladies around. They were about to witness greatness from me.Turning to a part of the crowd, I found Jane sitting at the top of the row, staring at me with wide eyes.I was going to give her a show that she would not forget.I waved my arms around, jumping around the field until the cheers got so much I was sure
EthanI walked up to her to see that she was talking about the decoration of the place and how it was going to be.She noticed my presence and suddenly felt self conscious.The maid bowed before me as she left us alone.“I never got to apologize for this morning,” I said as she nodded.“It’s fine,” she smiled. Her smile was enough to melt the hardest of hearts.Her skin gave off a color which I knew was only from people coming from rich homes. She had beautiful eyes and I could see why Sinclair had gone for her. Victoria was not like the woman before me. She was pretty but the comparison was not even close. “I saw the fight,” she smiled. “You did well.”“Thank you,” I said. “You didn’t stay till the end.”“You had him bleeding all over the floor. I couldn't watch you finish him off.”“I’m a warrior not a monster,” I laughed. “I had been holding back from hurting him but it didn’t work out like that. He wasn’t pulling his punches either.”“So you had to almost kill him?”“Well, he’s
Jane“Again!” Gail yelled as I punched the bag. “Again!”Waking up that morning, I was determined to find out my strength. Everyone had something they were good at. I was done being useless.Now I knew I was not just a breeder, I had to focus on my job as a Luna.Lunas were not meant to be weak but strong. If I was going to have Sinclair as my alpha then I would have to be as strong as him.It would be a disgrace to have Sinclair save me all the time.Those men in the fields didn’t look trained. Sure they looked like they could cause some damage but not as much as a trained werewolf would cause.I could even take on one or even two although they had the numbers advantage that was why my chances of losing to them was higher.I sighed looking around the room thinking hard on what I wanted to do.A knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts as Gail entered with a trolley of food which had me smiling.“Good morning my Luna,” she greeted when she was by my side.“I am not the Luna yet,
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,
