I screamed and was frozen in shock when a huge masculine figure in a cloak appeared in front of Kim and picked the paper that had fallen. I ran to the door of the passageway I had come from, surprised that it was now locked. I glanced back and noticed the man grab the bag from Kim before shooting her again in her head.I didn’t look back and started running in the direction of the normal route, running faster than I had ever run, not paying attention to anything else. It felt like it took forever till I finally arrived at the pack house, burst in through the gates and ran to the door, banging it really hard. “Hey!” the guard, who I only noticed had been running after me since I ran into the compound, said. “Why are you out here?”“Please open the door.” I continued banging the door till it was opened from the inside. I dropped to the floor, panting. “What's wrong?” The guard inside asked. “Kim! Kim, she was shot. Someone was shot right in front of me. Kim was shot. I witnessed m
I couldn’t sleep properly last night. Flashback of Kim being shot recurred in my head. It felt like I could’ve still saved her, but I left. I knew I had no power to do anything and the gunshot would've killed me too. If only I had gone earlier, If only I was a bit stronger as a werewolf to heal from a gunshot if I had saved her. As much as I felt guilty for Kim’s death, my curiosity was eating me up pretty badly. What did she have to tell me? Was our pack in danger? Why did she want to tell me and on one else? Why did her killer take her bag and paper? What was in it? “Stupid me. I could’ve picked the paper on the floor while she searched for whatever she was searching for. What did the dark heart behind the paper symbolize?” I questioned myself and groaned at my puzzled state. There was a knock on the room door, accompanied by Mason’s voice, “is the omega in here?”“yes, I am.” I replied and scuttled to the door to open it. “Good morning, Gamma.” I bowed my head.“Alpha is calling
~ JANE ~“I'm so glad Alpha Keegan agreed. This would be the first party I’ll ever attend as a guest and not a maid. I feel so great about it.” I squeaked again. “I feel great about it too. Now you know that my plan works out perfectly well? Just by batting those beautiful lashes, he agreed immediately. He wouldn’t dare to not agree to anything you ask him for when you finally steal his heart.” She chuckled. “You're being dramatic.” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’m certain he had intentions of waiting for the party, he only used my request as an excuse.”She scoffed and walked over to her wardrobe. “Whatever makes you sleep at night. I have this beautiful dress you’ll need to try on.”“A dress? Why?”“I can’t let you go to the party wearing whatever you call your best clothes. I’m sorry but sweetheart, you don’t have good clothes. I’ll make sure to stuff good clothes into your bag before you leave.”“Don’t do that. It’s against my pack rules to accept clothes from others, especially o
~ JANE ~ I shoved the last piece of my belongings into my plastic bag as well as the red dress, because Chloe insisted that I take it. “I can’t believe you were drunk last night.” She shook her head. “Me neither. I still feel tipsy.” “Girl, you’ll need to train and work on your strength.”“I wish I could, but I can’t. If I had known, I’d have spent more time training with your pack members. I probably got accustomed to being here and forgot that I was going to be returning.” I sighed. “Me too. I got so used to you, now I’ll miss you so fucking much.” She pulled me into a hug. “Please don’t forget me. Your stupid pack will make your life a living hell. Plus, they didn’t let you have a phone for me to call you.”“We might never see each other again.” I returned her hug, feeling water trickle at the corner of my eyes. “Don’t worry.” She pulled away. “I’ll make sure I get in touch with you no matter what. I'll definitely see you again. Plus, you’ll need to keep me updated about how
My fists clenched and my veins popped out underneath my burning skin. “How dare he?” I said through gritted teeth. I wanted to storm to the man and punch him till he fainted when someone held my shoulder. “Oh Alpha, you’re here. I was just about to come to you.” Shane said, smiling. The omega lifted her head to me, pleading with me through her dark blue eyes again. Her despondent face made my chest feel tight. “The elders, a few members of the town, the guards, and I had a meeting and agreed to whip the omega, out of our love for you. We love our Alpha very much and couldn’t let go of the fact that she embarrassed you. We’ll hit her with your permission.” He had a proud smile on. I felt like digging my fingernails into his face to get rid of his smile, but I held myself back, remembering that it wasn't his fault. My omega brought this upon herself and they were only doing this because they cared about me and it was acceptable according to my rules. If the omega hadn't been foolis
“Wh-What offer?” I stuttered.“Nah, it’s not a big deal.” He shrugged, “it’s not like it’s something you can’t offer. I’m the main person Alpha has assigned to be in charge of your punishment since Shane is busy, so as his friend, I’m dealing with you on his behalf. I can… maybe help reduce your punishment, feed you in secret, and many more advantages, just under one condition.” “What condition?” I balled my sweaty hands, locking them behind me as I moved backwards a bit. “I need you. Since the first day I set my eyes on you, there’s been a burning desire to have my way. Everything about you tastes good. I’m sure you’ll taste amazing down there as well.” His eyes ran over my body. I felt naked under his gaze and had to cover my chest with my arms. “No, Liam.”“Don’t just refuse me. Think about it. There are so many advantages. If I chose to remain your punisher, then Shane wouldn’t be able to bother you. As long as you fulfill my desires, I’ll drastically reduce your punishments ti
~ JANE ~My punishments continued. I could never tell if I was going to be whipped today or taken to the bench of shame. Was this how my life was going to continue till I died? Casper was only assigned to me once in a while, so that was the only time I could have anything to eat or drink clean water. Liam’s whippings had gotten worse, something I never knew could be possible. His frustration was growing as his desire to be in my pants burned. My refusal made him mad and increased the monster in him. I could at least have the right to my own virginity. Shane didn’t care to correct him, Casper never had time to listen, no other guard wanted to hear my voice, nobody was going to come to my rescue, Alpha Keegan ordered for my punishments to be increased daily. Knowing this made a burning hatred for Alpha Keegan grow in me. I definitely expected him to be cruel, but not this merciless towards me. Death was coming for me sooner. If Casper’s food hadn't been available, how did Alpha Keega
I arrived at the pack house with Mrs. Bea while Scarlett had to leave for training. It was obvious that she still had something to say, but Mrs. Bea's presence disturbed her from speaking to me. “Freshen up first. You stink.” Mrs. Bea scrunched her face at me. “When you’re done, there’s a whole lot of cleaning that needs to be done. You’ll begin with cleaning the kitchen then making a meal for everyone. Once you’re done with that, let me know.” She ordered. “Yes, Mrs. Bea.” I bowed my head at her then staggered up the stairs till I arrived at my room. The door was still shattered and the only thing in the room was my plastic bag of my belongings that I had left in Alpha Keegan’s car. I laid on the floor for a few minutes to take a short nap till I could feel my body again. Remembering Mrs. Bea was going to be expecting me and how she could get angry, I jerked up straight and left to have a long bath, hissing every second from the pain the water caused against my bruised skin and wel
~ 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
