Anne sat behind her computer at her office, pounding at it, she occasionally rubbed the back of her neck with her palm as she tried to relief the pounding ache that violently thumped at a certain part of her brain. As she got deeply engrossed in her work, Ryan walked in.
"Director, i think-"
" i told you, do not call me "Director" when it's just me and you.
You can drop the formalities. "
she said, with a slight tenderness in her voice. She had always had a tender spot for Ryan. No one knew she had that part to her, she knew how every one of them saw her–as the devil's incarnate. She wasn't bothered by that. She was a being designed to instill fear in others, and she greatly enjoyed it occasionally.
"I'm sorry direc- Anne .
I checked through all the available files, and I think it's time to bring her in.. she's highly skilled. and in case anything goes wrong, like it did yesterday, she'd know how to handle it. " he could never get too informal with Anne. She was the director and he was used to giving her a certain amount of respect.
"You think so? Are you sure she's ready? "She replied after giving it a little more thought.
"I'm sure." He said with assurance in his tone.
" Well, if you're sure about it then, send her in. how's the other subjects responding? Any improvement?"
"not yet."
she hummed a sigh of disappointment
"we can't risk not getting any results. it's been three years already. make sure she's here by tomorrow. in two weeks, it'll be the full moon..l and I think he's growing more resistant towards the drugs. if he woke up yesterday, who knows what might happen, on the full moon.. he's our core subject, we can't lose him. "
"okay Director."

Like they'd discussed, Olivia was brought in and taken to the guest quarters in the center (research lab). Anne had waited for her arrival, and when she'd arrived, she made her way to meet her.
"Hi. Miss Anne Weasley. Read all your works on bio–genetics . you inspired me " she smiled, beaming with excitement.
Anne smiled smugly, "Welcome, you must be tired. get some rest. when you're fully rested, Ryan would brief you on what to do."
"I don't need to rest, would get to work right away."
What Olivia Williams hated most about travels was the jet lags, but she was never the type to rest when there was work to do, like Anne, she was also one of the best bio-geneticist, who had done a great deal of works which had yielded several noticeable results, that was the reason Anne had wanted her here. And she had been willing, not aware of the unpleasant surprise that was about to crop out.
"are you sure you don't need rest?" She was surprised Olivia wouldn't rest, even after traveling a great distance. But she also loved the fact that she took the work seriously. She'd always wanted to work with someone just like her, restless, ready to work at anytime and in any circumstances, and was devoted to the cause.
"I am. let's take a look at the subject." She replied.
"okay. Ryan, Take her. and show her the previous reports."
After Anne had left, Ryan took Olivia to Lucas's room, signalled the guards to leave, then they entered the room
"that's him!? the subject!." Olivia was shocked and startled to see the subject was a human. Who'd agreed on experimenting on a human? That was against everything they stood for. And with the way he'd been strapped and locked up, she'd doubted if he'd agreed to it.
" yes. like you were told, he's special. his Gene is unique.
We tried to make more of his kind.
We tried Gene mutation, recombination, and replication.
But, we got zero match. one way, we always get loopholes. "
"his Gene isn't working with the others.
We've tried for years to understand his genes, and what they work with.
We brought you here to find and fix those loopholes.
I'll be sending you his previous reports, but for now, make sure to keep him highly sedated.
Double the dose if you notice any movement."
"isn't it going to be too harmful for him if the dose is increased?, Nobody told me you were experimenting on humans.
And how unique and special is he? To be this sedated? Is this even legal? I thought we were supposed to be legal practitioners." She asked. This didn't make sense. None of it did.
"you do as you're told! no questions. you signed up for this, and make sure to always keep an eye on him. you only leave this room for an hour, and you should always have him sedated !." He said, with a stern voice.
"I'll be sending the reviews to you."
"I'd like to see The Director." She needed some explanation and if Ryan wasn't going to give her, at least the Director was.
"that'll be when you're having your one -hour break."
He walked out of the room and the guards came back to guarding. she went over to where Lucas was lying down. all strapped and tied down.
Olivia found herself admiring the man tied down, he was like a Greek god, maybe if he was really a god, he would have been the god of sleep, she thought. He looked beautiful even while asleep, he had nose too straight, shoulders too broad, he sported a tough guy jaw, though his brown hair was much longer than necessary, they'd looked like shampoo and a comb hadn't touched them in years, but he still managed to give off a dreamy fantasy look. He was too damn perfect, she wondered how he could be asleep and still looked beautiful.
" what is so special about you? To make you end up here." She asked as she stared at him awestruck, amused and surprised. How could a human be far too perfect even while asleep?.
Ryan came back in, an hour later."it's time for your one hour break. come with me."Ryan had always been loyal to Anne, he always looked out for her. Protecting her with his life, if needed. So she had always trusted him to help handle important matters. they'd both walked out and he took her to some sections."what makes his Gene different from others?" She asked, if anything was different, it was the fact that he was too perfect.. She thought. Perhaps, they also thought he was a god."when you start studying and working on him, you'd find that out.You're restricted from going to the building below, he's the only core subject for now, he is your priority. there are just four doctors in these building, two are in charge of the building below, and are never allowed to come up here, no matter what. While the director is in charge of the other sectors here, making you the fourth. Don't worry, you might
Two weeks later, it was almost the full moon. Olivia was in Lucas's room in the research center, it was almost time for the lights to go off. And she was preparing to sedate him.Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, an unknown woman sat down in a room filled with candles, she chanted some spells repeatedly, and as she did, the flames on the candle lit up higher."Reuniți-vă cu trupul și sufletul vostru.lăsați-vă sufletul și spiritul să curgă înapoi în corpul vostru. lasă-ți esența vieții să fie restaurată"She chanted the spells continously, Her eyes turned white, and her body became pale.Then I heard her, while I was still unconscious. I felt her in my head, But he wasn't seeing her, he was in the dark, and a white light shone a little bit far away from him." Lucas,
I really don't know what to do. How do i help him get out? Anne would kill me if she ever finds out. I need to go see Anne, what if someone finds out I didn't sedate him?." She thought about Lucas and how to get him out. She was restless, she started to pace back and forth, in her room,then she heard a Knock on her door."open up." Anne said.She opened the door."Hey....um, what are you doing here?"Olivia knew Anne wasn't the type to come visit her for nothing, she was starting to think she had found out about Lucas being awake, and he'd told her she tried to help him escape, the thoughts flooded her entire body with fear. "Ryan said he thinks something is bothering you, so, I decided to drop by. Is anything wrong? Is there anything you'd like to tell me? Or ask?.. "She asked. sensing the uneasiness in her voice."oh.... no!..

"Mollie? ""Luca ? ".Mollie had thought the portal spell wouldn't work, she had exhausted almost all her magic when she tried waking him.At that moment, I felt drained and dizzy . I was tired, I was weak, but I was happy i was home."I- am- "My words began to fade." hurry! Lyle take the girl from him.". She ordered.Lyle rushed in and as he took Olivia From me, my eyes shut themselves and I fell. ★★★★††★★★★††★★★★I gasped. Then I'd remembered I was back home, but I had to be sure, the rays of sunlight seeped into the room, it was morning already."Mollie! Mollie!!" I called out.
Three years ago, before Lucas was taken. †***†****‡★★★★★‡****†****†At the Manor. Lucas and his pack was having a discussion. They all sat down on the sofa. Lucas wore ripped jean and a black t-shirt, Lyle wore dark Capri with a sleeveless grey top, Jesse wore Navy blue pants, and a sleeved white top, and Byron wore patterned vintage shirt, and dark pants.I'd been happy we'd quit bounty hunting, I'd finally done what Freya wanted." now we can quit bounty hunting, and do something more productive. "" well, I wouldn't say opening a bar is quite productive." Lyle said, he loved bounty hunting, and working in a bar was never his thing.Byron chuckled."The Alpha wanted a bar. ""it's the best to help us keep a low profile, and we can also keep an eye on the supernaturals from there."Jessie had always b
Just then, Lucas and Lyle's old friend, came in, her soft baby blue eyes gleamed brightly, her blonde hair was twisted up into a pony-tail. She had beautiful curves, and she wore a black ruffle v-neck dress that complementedher beige skin, with hot red platform high heel boots.She saw Lucas.I got up and hugged her, she kissed me on both cheeks, Then I broke off the hug."Lucas, I heard you guys put up this place, no more bounty hunting? I just got back from spring mount. It's been a year already." She was so happy to see him."no.We quit. We can't always be bounty hunters. So nice to see you again. Still in the business?"Arlene had been an old friend who'd helped me most times, when I'd felt i needed a partner, before I met Lyle, But, we were never that close, and I knew she had her sly ways, so, I'd tried not to get too friendly with her.."no, I quit. We cannot be bounty hunters forev
Arlene and Lyle talked in his room, it had been long they saw each other. She sat on his bed, Beside him.His room was well furnished, the wallpapers were black and white, it was well decorated, and it gave off a sleek modern look. He had a big King's sized bed, a couch, and a huge bedside lamp, and desk."they do not know you're Carlyle?"He nodded " They don't. Only Lucas knows. "" I didn't know you were one of his pack. After you were forcefully taken to join the gamma pack, I had to leave, joined some bounty hunters club, then I met Lucas. ""he saved me, he is a good alpha, I knew I had to be part of his pack.".They heard a knock on the door, outside.A weak smile flickered across her face," looks like they're here.""yeah. Let's join the others, downstairs."they went downstairs.Freya
She'd seen my wolf, and he'd tried to test his link to her, he'd ordered her to sit. Her eyes had widened when his order echoed in her mind."You spoke just now! I could swear I heard you speak!" She said, perplexed."I did." I replied."How on earth is that possible!?" She asked."You're my my mate, so, I can mind link you, the link is partially open when you and I are this close. When you're close to my wolf. But, it's not a stable connection. I can only fully mind link you when I've marked you, then, I can do so much more. " Now, I couldn't see what was going on in her head, but, once I've marked her, I would gain full access."So much more?" She asked."Do not worry about that." I sighed in my wolf's head. I had a lot of things I'd wanted to show her, wanted to share with her, wanted to tell her, but, I couldn't. Not when she still wanted to
Lucas's P.O.VShe gasped as she woke, I didn't want her body away from mine yet, and I didn't want to startle her by waking up yet. She could try to run away from me. I pulled her closer towards me and her heartbeat increased, suddenly it became normal, beating with a steady rhythm I understood perfectly. Something was running wild in her head.She tried to get up and this time, I let her go. She creeped out of the room, Lyle saw her and mind linked me, but I told him to stay put, I'd wanted to see what she'd planned on doing. Then she did it! She tried to escape.Lyle stopped her before she got out, and I couldn't help but laugh while they talked. She felt more comfortable with him, than she was with me. I tried to push away the jealousy that pricked the back of my mind.I heard her coming back up, and pretended to be asleep. She creeped back in, trying to quietly go back into bed an
Olivia's P.O.VI gasped, as my eyes flicked open. It was morning and the sunlight seeped in through the window. I felt my body being crushed under an heavy weight, and a hand clutched my waist tighter.Then, old memories rushed through my mind and I gasped, clasping a hand on my mouth. Free Ride?! What the hell did I mean by that!?His hot breath fanned my neck and as I tried to get up, he pulled me more closely to him. Could he really be asleep? Or was he pretending to be?I kind of liked his hand on me, his body close to mine, my body fits perfectly in the curve of his. I felt calm and relaxed anytime he touched me. Wait! What has gotten into me! This is absurd. I should be planning my escape! Not cuddling or drooling over my captor.When he'd talked last night, I couldn't help but feel guilty. From what I'd seen, Lucas wasn't a masochist, or w
Liv. You have to put on your seat belts okay?" Her mom said, tucking her in properly at the back of the car. While her mom did her hair in two cute ponytails."Okay mom. But, where are we going?" She asked curiously. Her mom settled herself in the front seat, while her dad turned on the car engine. "We're going to Wonderland" he replied. She gasped, "wonderland? The amusement park?""Yes dear. You've always wanted to go there. So, daddy wants to take you" her dad said."Oh! Thank you so much!" She replied happily, planting kisses on their cheeks. As they journeyed on, she played mindlessly with her bunny, Mrs cuddles. Her mom and dad chattered on in the front seat. Suddenly she heard the car horns blare and the car swiveled side by side as her father struggled to keep
"Every myth is real darling. And here in Brookedale, we have everything supernatural. From centaurs to demons, to fairies and dryads. And flagaes are magical demon beings living in a kind of special glass." Mollie said."So, Vampires, werewolves, sorcerers and witches are normal around here?" "Not really. We all keep our identities a secret. Only a supernatural knows another supernatural. We wouldn't want to scare the humans." I said."Since you guys are a pack of werewolves, why isn't she with a pack of witches, or whatever it is they call it?" She asked again.Mollie isn't a werewolf, but, she's part of the pack, she's family. That's how deep our bond goes. " Clyde replied."We also have another non–werewolf amongst us. Though, she runs the bar. You will definitely love her. Besides, most packs need a witch, and since I'm a first order, it makes this pack more powerful. The
When I'd gotten home, I pulled the door open and found Mollie sitting on the couch, tapping away at her phone. When she saw me, she walked towards me, then her eyes zeroed in on the cut, she gasped as she pulled me towards the couch. I sat and she lifted up my shirt and I eased myself out of it."What happened? How did this happen?" She asked, concerned."It's nothing.""It's nothing?! You're hurt. Let me take a look at it" she tried to touch the cut but I shrugged her hands off. I pushed her away and got up."Why didn't you tell me?" I shouted. The rest of the guys rushed downstairs."Alpha!" They all said, when they'd noticed the cut."Tell you what?" Mollie asked, confused."Why didn't you tell me you were now a first order?" I asked calmly this time. I wasn't angry at her, I was only angry she left out a detail such as important as that.
Before he could run towards the door, I grabbed his neck pulling him back towards the window. I pulled it open with a hand, and pulled his neck underneath it, pulling the window down a little to pin his neck between it. I couldn't care about the blood that dripped from the wound his knife had caused."Lucas! What do you want from me?" He shouted as I pushed a claw into the side of his neck."I have questions and I need answers. And you better answer as honest as you can." I threatened."What the– what are you talking about?" He groaned as I pushed another claw in."To every wrong answers you give, I would rip off a body part. I hope I've made myself clear?" I growled."Okay! Okay!!""You said we killed the wind banes every last one of them. But then, three years ago, a wind bane attacked me and my pack in my woods, my territory! How come?" I asked."I don't– I
As I made my way downstairs, I spotted Freya's room. I walked towards it and my heart clenched hard in pain. How could I forget I had something else important to focus on, than taking a mate.I walked in, sitting on her bed as I remembered the last time we'd talked in her room. The time she told me our parents were the reason stopping her from taking a mate. I didn't know where to start looking. But I had to start somewhere.A part of me couldn't help but warn me my mate could be deadly. She could be a trap. Finding my mate in the same place I was being locked up couldn't be a coincidence.Even though I couldn't help the feeling of going back into that room and taking her in my arms, I had to put my wild emotions under control. I wasn't a teen Wolf. I was an adult, and here I was behaving like a teen with hormones running wild at the sight of a woman. I had to regain control. I was an alpha.I changed my
Mollie stood up and strolled towards her, she helped her fill a plate with the food."Go easy on her Luca, you're going to frighten her to death, at this rate, and that's no way to treat a lady." She glared at him furiously"Do not be bothered by his behavior darling, eat." She said, with a smile, and a calm voice. Then she went back to sit.Lucas cleared his throat," these are my pack, That's Byron, Jessie, Clyde, And Julian."he said, pointing at the direction of each one of them." Byron and Jessie are Betas. Clyde and Julian are omegas. Lyle is a gamma, by he isn't here yet, soon you'd meet him."He was probably sure she knew nothing about whatever he'd just said, but, he was introducing them, and he could as well as explain each of their roles and positions in the pack to her, after all, she'd soon be their Luna. But, he would explain better, later. Now, she just needed to know the basics.
