We were waiting patiently for both Alan and Denver to just make the damn call so we can get this over with. I really don’t have the time for this.Their Lunas were sitting in a dark room but they weren’t tied up or anything. We let them be free. I don’t have time to torture people or fight a goddamn war. The werewolf society might have rules about this sort of thing but this is the time to change their goddamn rule and give us all a chance to live even after competing.Fine, I am not saying this because I am a good person. I am just saying this because I want to take the cowardly way out and I don’t want to have to kill anyone because I wouldn’t want to have any casualties on my neck or anything like that so it’s only wise that I do it this way. Kidnapping both their Lunas and getting them to withdraw from the competition. They aren’t really withdrawing per day just submitting to me.It wouldn’t be really hard with Denver because he is obsessed with his Luna. A tiny looking woman with
My eyelashes fluttered, as I opened my eyes to the sweet singing of birds and the sunlight which illuminated in my bedroom. Yawning, I turned over and rubbed my eyes sleepily, then stretched out my muscles, and yawned once more. I had been having a beautiful dream where I didn’t have to flee from Marcel McClain, and I smiled, knowing that it wasn’t actually a dream. It was reality, as in this town, ruthless werewolves like Marcel could not show up their ugly faces, trying to stir up trouble.At first, it had been hard to settle down, and even though I didn’t show it, I was terribly scared of what would happen to me should Marcel ever find out of our whereabouts, and it was even more scary when I learnt that he had become the Alpha of all Alphas. Now, he had control over every pack that existed, and it would be easy for him to find Liam and myself as a means to get revenge on me for rejecting him as my mate in public, but so far, life had practically been so good to us.I was even begi
Daphne Jennings.On the whole, I thought he was going to mention something about loving me even when I get round. His words made me emotional and comfortable.I was not, perhaps, very comfortable lying on the hard got bed. My throat gets scratchy and dry no matter how much I drink water. I repressed the urge to throw up my dinner with difficulty. I knew perfectly well what could be the cause of my problems. I dreaded it. It can't be… no, not yet. Marcel was coming and this will only slow me down. I meant us. Liam and I.The opening notes of the music that heralded the nine o'clock news reached my ears and my stomach turned over. Liam must be in the sitting room watching the news. Perhaps tonight.. after a month of waiting.. would be the night…Just yesterday, I got unnecessarily angry at what he said. I know he meant well but his answer only made me anxious as to how he would feel when I broke the news to him."Are you alright?" His loud voice interrupted my musings.I raised my head
Daphne Jennings."I am not going to drag that with you. The only question I have to ask is.." I pulled away to stare into his piercing eyes. His hands were still wrapped around my face and his expression was unreadable. "Are you excited?"Liam gave me a baffled look. "What do you mean?! I am excited." Then he frowned. "I can't promise you a smooth journey. But we are in this together." He finished with a grand smile. It was one of the things I loved about him. He was too optimistic just for my good.I nodded in agreement. I wasn't expecting the ride to be smooth. I shouldn't have asked him such a question. "What should we call him?" I allowed him to guide me to a seat. My feet were getting heavy already."Look at you. I can't wait to see you waddle about with him in you." He gently placed me on the sofa. I nearly cringed at the way he put it. One would think he was talking about something else. "I don't want to get fat and you have a role to play in that. Don't cook fatty food for me
Marcel MclainI dropped a bouquet of chrysanthemums on the cold, engraved stone unceremoniously. I have done what he wanted, and now it is time to play the part he helped me with. Being the Alpha of AlphasThe last time, I said being the Alpha of Alphas was more of a title than a function. Well, I lied because I am going to be the first Alpha to change that. I grabbed Gina's left hand in mine. She had a grim look on her face, and I wasn't sure if it was from sadness or guilt. She was never close to Dylan in anyway, so why the fuck is she acting all sorry?My chest tightened a bit as I saw Alicia at the back, dabbing her eyes. What is all this mushy nonsense? I dropped Gina's hand to her dismay, making my way out of the cemetery. not before muttering how ridiculous she looked in her black gown and dark shades. I was in a three-piece black suit with dark shades to go for it.Shit. "You have fifteen minutes. "I have more important things to do than hover over a man who was glad to have
True to Liam's words I couldn't remember anyone who I could invite for the party. I raised my hands in surrender. "Go ahead Jules."She saluted, skipping out of our house in ecstasy while Liam and I watched. Then he gave a concerned stare. "I know I said it's up to you but will it be really okay to throw this party and make a public announcement?"I tilted my head to the side. He was acting so cool right now that I didn't know what to say to him. "Honey, you are really the best!" I gave him thumbs up, watching his Adam's apple bob up and down in excitement. "I am certain. You know it doesn't end well for us whenever we try to hide something. They will eventually find out. This party is not just for us, it is for you and I. We need to fully integrate ourselves to the ways of this town. We need to meet people too,"Liam had a contemplative look on his face as he considered my words. "But you know it will attract a lot of attention right?" He sighed, walking closer to me. "You know what?
Marcel Mclain"What kind of doom?" I asked, not in the least bothered about his vision. I can change it if given the right tools. I am the Alpha of Alphas. I don't think anything can bother me.Jaleel was a bit taken aback at the way I was unconcerned. "Really? "You want me to tell you the details of my vision?"I waved my hands to dismiss him. "If it isn't anything of importance, we can move on to the next agenda."Someone else raised their hands. Alpha, what if it relates to the pack?" What if it is in a week's time? Shouldn't we ask how to avert such doom?" I reached into my Alpha powers, allowing them to slip a little as I reprimanded the he-wolf. It was unnecessary, but "Hunter Vale, you will know your place." This isn't a gathering where people of low ranks like you are allowed to speak." Of course, he is allowed to speak whenever she wants, but he only bruised my ego by telling me what to do. He is right. I should ask Jaleel how to avert it instead of feeding my ego. I will d
"Daphne,"Liam whispered, and I almost jumped out of my skin. I think we both need to see the town's therapist.He placed his hands on my shoulders with worry etched on his face. "Are you okay?""I have told you to stop doing that!" I snapped. Why doesn't he ever listen? I don't think Liam is at fault here. I am just paranoid.He snatched his hands like he touched something hot.I sighed. "I am sorry."He patted my back in understanding. I just can't get over it. The feeling that someone is watching me... It was not a good feeling. "I understand why you are jumpy."I froze, and my neck sharply turned toward him. He does? "You do?"He gave a nod. "You are worried about your boss." Don't worry. Just take someone with you. Everything will be fine."He knows how much I hate staying home and doing nothing. I hid my trembling hands. How do I tell him that I just encountered a rogue wolf. Or am I just being paranoid for nothing?He quickly pulled me into a hug. One I was grateful for. "Rela
wolf: epilogueA year after the war with he black wolves…The forest exuded an ethereal beauty in the aftermath of a torrential downpour. The raindrops, like glistening jewels, adorned the leaves and flowers, sparkling in the gentle rays of the morning sun. The air was crisp and infused with the scent of wet earth and rejuvenation. Each blade of grass and every petal seemed to tremble with newfound life, as if celebrating the cleansing touch of the rain.Early in the morning, as the first rays of light pierced through the canopy, Daphne ventured into the heart of the forest. She moved with a graceful purpose, her footsteps light and deliberate. By her side was Mason in his wolf form. For no reason at all, the little monster chose to accompany her to the pack hospital. Maybe he wanted to protect her… Daphne wasn't sure of her son's motive."Dad refused to come. Does he hate pups?" Mason asked through his wolf Eli. Rio was thrilled to have him speak to her in his wolf form. Things worke
When Daphne heard the devastating news that her baby, Mason, had been abducted right under the nose of her maid, Pilpo, a wave of intense emotions crashed over her. Initially, shock and disbelief gripped her, rendering her momentarily speechless. As the reality sunk in, Daphne was consumed by a whirlwind of emotions, the foremost being a deep and overwhelming sense of fear. The thought of her precious child being taken away from her by the black wolves sent shivers down her spine and pierced her heart with an unimaginable pain."What did you say?" Daphne asked Pilpo to repeat her statement. She didn't allow her to finish before Daphne turned to Liam. "We shouldn't have left him behind. It was all a trap. They knew that I wouldn't be with my baby and so they took him. You know that if they can't have me, my baby will be the sacrifice." "Tell me what happened." Daphne chose not to get angry at pil. She too has made a lot of mistakes but this was unforgivable. It would be unforgivable i
"Daphne and… Liam?" Inspector Hayes tried to feign ignorance of Liam's name. It was obvious he was doing that on purpose. He had gotten up with his arms outstretched in fake joy."Yes, Liam. We would like to talk to you about our missing property."Inspector Hayes did not understand where the question was coming from. "I do not understand what you are talking about. If I remember correctly, I gave you a piece of land out of the goodness of my heart."Daphne folded her hands across her chest. "And we accepted it. Imagine the shock of finding the grave empty this morning. Do not test my patience Hayes.""Are we on a first name basis then?" Inspector Hayes' jaws grinded against each other. He was getting pissed with the direction of the conversation as they were implying something. That he did something.Daphne allowed a bit of her alpha aura to slip through her mind and all over her body. She towered him. "Cut the bullshit, Hayes. You know what we are and have chosen to take what belong
Daphne's heart raced as she and Liam stood before Marcel's grave in the desolate cemetery. They had come here, driven by an unsettling dream that haunted her—a dream that Anna had shared with her. Her eyes widened, disbelief etching deep lines on her face as she took in the sight before her. The earth around Marcel's grave had been disturbed, the once neatly arranged soil now a chaotic mess. Panic swelled within her chest as she noticed the cut ropes that had once bound Marcel's corpse.Daphne's voice trembled as she turned to Liam, her voice filled with a mixture of shock and fear. "Liam, look! Marcel's grave... It's been desecrated! The ropes... they're broken. Anna's dream... it was true! Marcel... he's the leader of the Black Wolves. Someone took him from here."Liam's face contorted in disbelief, his eyes scanning the scene, searching for any possible explanation that could quell the rising tide of horror within them. "But how? Was anyone watching the both of you when you came
Bayview.Bayview wasn't spared from the wrath of the black wolves. So was the rest of the kingdoms of fairies and shapeshifters. It was as if everything was happening at once.Bayview was a peaceful community where wolves, shapeshifters, and vampires are allowed to live together in harmony. There were also people who were cast out from their families but had the knowledge of the supernatural realm. They were allowed to live together.However, everything changed when the rogues were let into the land by Julian six months ago. Thanks to Daphne and her resilience, they managed to stop the attack and annihilated the rogues.The peace didn't last as the black wolves had suddenly woken up from their slumber. They must have noticed the threat with Daphne in their midst that they chose to rise and annihilate her and her pack. Although that was what Anna and Gabriel thought as they tried to heal themselves of the poison in their systems. They shouldn't have accepted to sniff the rose flower a
With a sense of satisfaction, Hayes finally pressed the record button. The camera whirred to life, capturing the last moments of their clandestine burial. He knew that the evidence he gathered tonight would be a powerful weapon in his fight against the supernaturals, and he relished the thought of the justice it would bring.As the camera rolled, Hayes allowed himself a smug smile. "Your secret is no longer safe, vampires. The world will see what you truly are, and you'll finally face the consequences of your monstrous acts."He wasn't surprised when they got into the black car and drove off. He was tempted to follow them to wherever they were going but he knew that would be suicide. For now, he has caught them on camera and that is enough. Their names will be brought before the meeting tonight.Presently, While Daphne and Liam prepared to confront inspector Hayes, another meeting was going on.Deep within the heart of an ancient, desolate forest, a gathering of the malevolent Black
As the demons continued their message, their voices interweaved with a sense of cruel triumph. "This one led a pathetic pack. look at him. His head lies decapitated at our feet," the first one sneered. The second one had his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. "Witness the fate that awaits those who dare to fight us." The third demon's voice thundered, shaking the very ground beneath them. "Resistance is futile, Daphne. Your pack is shattered, and your fate is sealed. Surrender now, or face a destiny far worse than death."Daphne's breath caught in her throat, and her legs wavered beneath her, but a flicker of determination ignited within her eyes. She refused to succumb to the terror and despair that threatened to consume her. Her voice quivered, but her resolve remained unyielding. "I will never surrender to the likes of you," she managed to utter, her voice trembling but filled with unwavering defiance. "My pack isn't broken yet and we will fight until our last breath." With the
The night came quickly and Daphne's eyelids grew heavy. The moon gently illuminated her room as she nestled into her warm bed. Drifting off to sleep, her mind wandered into a vivid dream realm, where she found herself standing in a vast, ancient forest. The scent of damp earth and the rustle of leaves filled the air, as if nature itself was whispering secrets.In the distance, Daphne could hear the low, haunting howl of wolves. As she followed the sound, her heart pounding with anticipation, she soon found herself standing in a clearing bathed in moonlight. A pack of black wolves emerged from the shadows, their sleek, ebony fur glistening under the pale glow. These wolves seemed different, their aura carrying an enigmatic power.Just as Daphne's eyes fixed upon the magnificent creatures, a figure stepped out from the surrounding darkness. It was Anna, clad in a flowing emerald gown and with her hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall of ebony."Daphne," Anna's voice rang ou
A few minutes later, Daphne was seen removing her clothes. The heat was unbearable. She couldn't bear to see Liam's eyes trace her body sensually."That was beautiful."Daphne paused. "Huh?" She didn't understand where the words were coming from all of a sudden.Liam gestured down the hall. "I meant the speech you gave. Who knew you were this hot?"Daphne felt her cheeks grow hotter than the rest of her body. The blush rose up to her ears, stopping just at the tip. "Are you serious right now? We are working together. I didn't command them or something. I have a role to play. We have to find my connection to all these. We have to go back to the outside city.""You should lead the way," Liam said sadly.Daphne rolled her eyes. "How many times have I apologized? I am sorry for going alone. Actually, I went with Vale, but that isn't the point. I am sorry for going all alone.""You said it yourself that they make you isolated. Stuff like that. Look at that Asian guy who lost his wife to th
