The tall woman walked up to me and my eyes were still widened because she looked way too familiar. She had beige blonde hair, crustacean eyes and was surprisingly very beautiful. For some reason, I had thought the person in the cloak would be a man, so I was in awe to know it was a woman. “What? Do you remember me?” Her voice was like an angel's voice, very soothing to my ears.I shook my head; she had kidnapped me, her innocent looks weren’t going to deceive me. “Why am I here? I asked who you are?” I frowned this time. She approached me, the sole of her boots clinking against the floor as she shoved her hands in her pants pocket, glancing at the door. It felt very strange and I wondered what the hell was going on. After a while, three men strolled in with a table that had four tires, rolling it in my direction. The smell of food from the table was glorious and made my stomach scrunch, calling my attention to my hunger. “You haven’t eaten for over a day now, have something to ea
“You. Why are you here?” The guard asked me, scanning around. “Where are you coming from?” He wondered. “Do you realize how they’re searching for you so much?” “Can you please escort me to the pack house? I’m scared to walk alone.” I begged him , expecting him to frown and spit at me to get out and find my way. “Sure, why not? I’ll inform someone else to guard my spot.” He scurried to another guard a few feet away from me and returned. “Let’s go.” The fact that he wasn’t being grumpy was strange. I followed quietly behind him, ignoring how my legs ached from the long walk when we arrived at the pack house. “Please don’t inform anyone about my presence yet. I just need to go to bed.” I requested, remembering that they could mind link one another. “Okay…” he trailed off like he wasn’t certain. “Thank you for the escort.” I bowed my head. “It’s fine. Go inside. I have to get going now.” He waved at me and scuttled out of my presence. I got into the house and shambled all the way
My phone began to chime from the nightstand. I dried my hand with a towel and tossed the towel aside before walking over to it and answered the video call from Chloe, sitting on the bed. “Hey girl!” She chimed, wiggling her fingers at me. “How are you?”“I’m really good. It’s nice to speak with you again. How are you as well?” “Yes. I’ve just been a bit busy lately and it’s been affecting my schedule so I’ve been unable to talk to you.”“Me too,” I lied, not wanting to let her know that I had been missing to avoid drawing suspicions. “So how’s everything at your pack?” I leaned back in one of Alpha’s Keegan’s pillows and the way his forest and lavender mixed scent filled my nostrils was both discomforting and satisfying. “I’ve been really fine and great. I’m currently working really hard and with excessive training with masters in the journey, I’m really improving. Remember last time you were here and I had spoken about me practicing so I can be promoted to a higher level?” she as
‘It’s alright. I’m by the door already.’ I mind linked Mason who kept bugging me that Mom wanted a meeting with us. “Okay, great.” He ended the link. I twisted the door knob and opened the door. When I realized that the only people in the meeting room were Shane, Mom, Mrs. Bea, Scarlett, and Mason, it dawned on me what the discussion of the meeting was going to be about and that made me feel a heavy weight in my chest. With slow steps, I walked up to the meeting table and had a seat. “Good evening everyone.” I greeted and turned to Luna, “what’s the point of the meeting?”“You should already know that it’s because of the Ardolfs. They aren’t such easy people that we’ll just keep quiet about when we know that they could probably hop on us anytime soon.” Mom said, though her tone was a bit cold and she was trying to hide her worry, the fear still rang in her voice. ‘The Ardolfs are stronger than we think, you all know that, right?”“I’ve also been thinking about them. I’ve been havi
~ JANE ~I wanted to learn something new today because I was extremely bored and the perfect app for learning something new turned out to be YouTube. I wanted to learn about more modern ways of making some dishes or unique baking styles but it made my life feel very caged to being an omega and working in the kitchen, so I fought the urge to not learn anything related to working for these people. I was pondering so hard, trying to think of the perfect new thing to learn but nothing was coming forth. The room door suddenly opened and a down-looking Alpha Keegan walked on. The way his eyebrows were twisted and curved made it obvious that he was worried and that kicked a strange type of nervousness in me, like I could feel the sadness from his worry. “What’s wrong?” I asked, genuinely concerned. Alpha Keegan had never seemed worried about anything, so it was definitely strange now. He didn’t say a word but walked up to me, got rid of his shoes then laid on the bed beside me, placing hi
~ JANE ~I was extremely bored and remembering that Mae was around, I decided to look for her. I checked everywhere for her and even checked the secretary's office, but she wasn’t there.When she was nowhere to be found, I decided to check Crystal and Mason's room, assuming she'd be there since there were sisters. I knocked on the door to Crystal's room and realized that it wasn’t really making any sense, so I stopped and when I decided to turn back, the door was opened and Crystal walked out of the room with a smile on her face. “Oh, hey, Jane. How are you? What brings you here?”“I’m so sorry for disturbing you. I was just searching for Mae everywhere and I couldn’t find her, so I assumed she would be with you.” I said with a grin.“Oh, Mae. I think she had gone out with a guard. I don’t remember his name… uhm.. I don’t know. Oh yeah, it was Casper; she had gone out with Casper and I can’t believe I forgot that. Am I getting old and stupid?” She chuckled and I chuckled as well. I
Alpha Keegan and I returned to the pack house, our fingers were intertwined, neither of us was ready to let go of the other yet. At least no one was going to notice, I thought to myself. My thoughts were still reeling around what his surprise could be. There was no point in asking him again, because he was certainly going to ignore the question like he had been doing since we walked here. When we opened the door, I was startled to see Kate and a few other people around so I quickly pulled my hand from his. My eyes loomed over Kate's side and I only noticed Vladimir and Chloe’s presence. I screamed and hurried to them, pulling Chloe into a really tight hug, grinning from ear to ear. “I didn’t know you were coming as well. Oh my gosh, it’s so good to see you in person again!” I glanced at Alpha Keegan and he flashed a millisecond smile at me. This was definitely a surprise I loved. Chloe was chuckling as I still hugged her really tight and gently pushed me back, holding my shoulders.
~ MAE ~I’ve been trying to speak to Casper again but have been unable to. I had no idea about where he lived or how to reach out to him, a very frustrating feeling. Plus, due to lack of proper experience and practice, my mind linking abilities was really poor. I could only properly mind-link the Alpha — not like I was ever going to— my sister, Mason, and Ava, and I could also be mind linked by someone else, but for others, it was terrible.I heaved a sigh and turned the door knob to Crystal's room open, forgetting to knock again. “Seriously, Mae? You don’t know what knocking means?” Crystal scoffed. “Sorry,” I sheepishly apologized and sauntered to her on the bed. “Where’s Mason?” I wondered, taking a seat beside her. “He’s in the bathroom.” She said and added, “washing his hands.” “Oh, okay.” “I bet you’re bored again?” she asked and pointed at a box. “Pass it to me.”“Yes, I’m very bored.” “You’re always bored.” Mason said as he walked out of the bathroom, drying his hands wi
~ JANE ~ (11 YEARS LATER) “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SWEETHEART!” Keegan said the moment I woke up, wrapping his arms around me and captured my lips into a kiss. I was startled since of course, I just woke up, but I shook it off and returned his kiss. “Happy anniversary.” I said when I pulled away, stretching. We had arrived at the beach house with our friends and family two days ago. Since it was where our love developed, it held a special place in our heart, so we decided to celebrate our Eleventh wedding anniversary here. “Guess what I found?” he asked and he had a really bright smile that made me have a good feeling about today already. “What is it?” You know how much I hate guesses.” He arched his back to pick up something from the floor then placed a box on my lap. “What is it?” I asked again. “Just open it.” He rolled his eyes at me. I chuckled and opened the box. There were two more more boxes in it and I took out the first box, it had so many swimsui
The preparations for the ceremony happened sooner than I could imagine. We decided that the venue was going to be towards the lake so the moon’s reflection could be even more perfect in the water. Chloe had done my makeup, and of course, she made me look like a goddess. My wedding dress was a dark wine velvet gown that was floor sweeping and had spaghetti straps with a wine corset on my waistline. I didn’t know how Choice had managed to get it on such short notice, but it was my perfect size and I loved it. It was only a few minutes till 12AM, so Dad had come to pick me up.“You look extremely beautiful. I never thought I’d see this day, but I’m glad I’m privileged to see my daughter’s wedding ceremony.” He had a proud smile on and hugged me, planting a fatherly kiss on my forehead. “I love you and I’m glad we got to see the real light before it was too late.” I was grinning from ear to ear, also glad that my parents and grandmother were present at my wedding. Dad led me to the v
We were all fully-prepared and determined to find Keegan today and return home with him. Chloe switched to her wolf form and started leading the way while we all followed behind her. She was way slower than I’d have wanted to run, but I had to bear with it. The run lasted for really long minutes till we finally stopped in front of a small building surrounded by so many men, judging from their musty scent, clearly rogues. ‘Be careful and attack them at once.’ I ordered and after a count, we charged at them. They were so confused to even do anything so we were able to kill or knock them out in accordance. “According to Vladimir, there might still be more guards in and we’ll have to be even more careful.” Chloe said in a bark. “And according to him, we’ll be better in our human form. “Really?”“Yes. Please switch quickly.”Good thing we had planned for a few wolves to carry clothes for us in bags. We received clothes from the bags then we had to quickly switch to our human form an
~ KEEGAN ~ I had tried my best to be free from this bondage and try to escape but it was all to no avail. Dad was planning a really terrible attack on my pack and I was scared that they weren’t going to be able to handle it since they wouldn’t be expecting it. I had overheard that Jane had gotten her gift and I was so proud of her but I hoped she was able to secure the pack in place. I wondered if she was back at Dark Stone or still stuck with those Ardolfs. I had no idea on what to do. I was at the weakest point of my life and it didn’t seem like help could come to me. One of the men walked into the room in their completely protected outfit then extended a glass to me. Water! I could finally have water?!I desperately let him pour the water down my throat and it made me feel so refreshed. He stepped back then stared at me. I wondered what the hell was going on till I started feeling knots in my stomach. I was too weak to let out a groan so my cry of pain was muffled internal
~ VLADIMIR ~ It was another day to just torture Keegan and watch him die slowly. The pleasure I derived from rubbing it in his face that he was so weak right now and I was just a step closer from dominating and being the new strongest Alpha again. “What exactly would you gain?” He asked, his voice was extremely low with his head hung low as well. “Revenge and power.” “I don’t know what you might’ve been fed with, but I just realized that there had been no reason for you to have started hating me when we were younger. We were so close with Scarlett and….” He trailed off and started coughing. The fact that he was playing dumb was really pissing me off. He had been the cause of my mother’s death and had always been against my success. I had been raised to hate him, so of course, I couldn’t let him try to convince me with his words when I was really close to achieving my desire. *** Where the hell was Dad? I had been trying to reach out to him towards our final attack against Dark
(Please ignore any grammatical errors or nicely point them out.) When I arrived at dark stone, my heart dropped to the ground as I saw so many people lying on the ground, looking so lifeless.If their chests weren’t still rising and falling, I’d have thought they were dead. What the heck happened? I nudged Mae’s wolf, no movement, I also tried to move Scarlett and Mason’s wolf but neither of them were responding to me.I searched around those in either their wolf form or human form lying on the ground, but there was no sign of Keegan around them and that made my heart start beating really fast. ‘Where the hell are my parents?’ I asked Vera. ‘Let’s just search around.’ She responded.I decided to search the entire town for my parents or Vladimir or at least a sign of Keegan. As I went around the entire pack, it was dead silent, confirming that no one was conscious. I even returned to the pack house and the members in the pack house were also lying unconscious, other people’s hou
~ JANE ~ “Please let me go!” I cried to the guards that were watching over me but they turned deaf ears to my pleas. I tried to struggle free from the plant but it was still too tight against me. My mind kept racing through what could possibly be their actual attack and my heart raced so much at the thought of the current state of the pack. What if Keegan wasn’t able to handle it? Darion suddenly walked towards me with blood stains on his body as he checked them out. “Darion,” I called, excited to at least see him. He lifted his gaze to me. “Please, save me from these people and plants. I can’t deal with this any longer.”He dismissed the guards then walked a few more steps till he stopped in front of me with a sly smile. “Oh, sweetheart,” he said in a very deep and husky voice, running his hand over my face then chortled. “You thought I was so stupid?” “The moment I started to doubt you was when I started to doubt you was when I asked if your love for me was washing off and you
~ KEEGAN ~.The pack members had undergone intense training for the upcoming attack, so we were more than prepared for what was coming our way. We had all maintained our positions close to the border they were going to be attacking from and the guards standing by to launch the traps to capture them were all also in position. ‘Be at alert. This has to be the last time we’ll experience an attack from them so we’ll stop at nothing to capture everyone of them.’ I said in a general link. ‘And ensure to protect your Luna at all cost.’ We still remained in position for a while till we started hearing screaming noises quite far away. ‘What the heck is that?’ Drex wondered. I started running towards the direction of the screaming with the guards, Mason, Scarlett, Shane, and other pack members and we noticed so many people lying unconscious on the ground as we ran. We came to a halt when we noticed the Ardolfs and multiple of their companions. There were so many rogues with them this time
~ KATE ~ I couldn’t believe I was doing this and meeting the moron again, but here I was waiting for Stefan, my long-gone mate. He walked out of a corner and stopped in front of me, maintaining a bold stance. His stubble was perfectly trimmed and his hair, as styled as ever. He never missed a chance to try to show off his good looks but I cared less about that today. “So what do you want that you had to call for my assistance?” He asked, his cold yet mocking demeanor made me have mixed feelings about him again. “Jane. I know you’ve finally found out about her.” I tucked my hand into my coat pockets, slipping out Jane’s picture from my pocket and handed it over to him. “What do I do with her?” “Don’t try to play dumb here. I’m the best person that can be of help to you. Why do you need her? I know how much you’ve been trying to find her after obviously knowing about her gifts.” He lifted his gaze from the picture with a smirk. “Still a smart woman, uh?” “There’s no time for j
