My arms flailed wildly in the air as the person pulled me behind the trees. My screams were reduced to nothing by the fabric that covered my mouth. The person's strength was greater than mine so my effort was meaningless. When the person came to a halt, he appeared in front of me to stop me from running away and handed over a small envelope to me. Behind the envelope, it said, ‘I mean no harm. Be calm. Just open the envelope.’ in the same handwriting as last time.

How could I trust this person? What if a bomb or something that could harm me that was inside the envelope?

Out of curiosity, I opened the envelope and slipped out a photograph. There was a child in the picture who was facing backwards and was running into the arms of two people whose faces were cropped out. The photograph looked old, like it was taken many years ago.

I lifted a confused brow at the person who nodded for me to continue. Lifting the photo up, there was a different note. 'Lift the paper up. And goodbye.’

A bomb in an envelope? That’s just dumb

I figured Keegan didn't tell Shane to do all that to her. Hopefully now they will start getting along or let her go

    I squealed and jumped out of the couch to grab the blanket on the bed and wrapped it around my body. Crystal still had her eyes widened in awe, her feet were glued to the floor as she fixed her focus on Alpha Keegan. Alpha Keegan trudged to the bed and sat beside me, getting rid of his wrist watch and shoes. “Mason is back.” He said to Crystal without looking at her and started unbuttoning his shirt. “Uh… o-okay.” She let out a sharp breath, fidgeting with her fingers. “Jane— Omega, you can use these ointments. I’ll leave them here. Meet up with me for proper and complete treatments later.” She quickly dropped two packs of what I assumed were ointments and closed her box before running out of the room and shut the door. I was still trying to catch my breath from the way I had screamed, while Alpha Keegan got rid of his shirt, not minding my presence. He rose from the bed and walked up to the table. His shirtless body drained my anxiety, the way his biceps moved around as he grabb

    Scarlett had requested for me to bring her breakfast to her room. I knew it meant she had something to say. I headed to her bedroom and walked in after she permitted me to, serving her dinner on the table. “So, I’m confused again. I feel like I sounded stupid for mentioning the anniversary to Keegan and asking him to act like my boyfriend, at the sane time. It didn’t make any sense, right?” Of course it didn’t! But there was no way I was saying that to her. “I ought to have said it in a more playful manner.” Her eyebrows were curled upwards in worry. “The party is soon and I don’t know what to do. How am I supposed to go there without him? My parents would think I’m crazy for deceiving them.” she rumbled. “I’m sure it’ll be fine.” I had no idea on how I was supposed to help her, but I was glad she could confide in me. “No way! I want Keegan to come with me.” She groaned, burying her head in a pillow. “Gosh, I’m so frustrated!”“If he doesn’t—”“If he doesn’t come with me, my parent

    I woke up from the not beautiful sleep of my life, the satisfaction could be felt from deep in my bones as I stretched my arms and legs out till I bumped into something a bit hard and also soft. I didn’t care to check and wrapped my arms around it, also placing my leg over the figure. “If you’re fully awake, you have to realize that I’m a living creature too.” Alpha Keegan's deep voice made me jerk awake and realize that his body was the figure. I quickly pulled away from him and sat up straight, my cheeks flushed with an embarrassed blush. “I'm so sorry.”“You have the worst sleeping habit ever.” He gruffed with a roll of his eyes, laying his head on the pillow properly. “Please forgive me. How am I even—” I remembered that he had asked me to sleep on his bed. It wasn’t my fault he insisted that I sleep on his bed. “I’m sorry.” I still added. He tilted his head, squinting his eyes at me like he was trying to derive information from the depth of my eyes. “Is there any problem?” I

    ~ JANE ~“I can’t believe he actually agreed!” Scarlett squeaked, throwing a dress into her suitcase. “What sort of magic do you possess?”“Magic? No, it’s just Chloe’s advice.” I waved a hand over my face.“Chloe? Who’s Chloe?”“An omega, from Night Shadow pack.”“Oh. That's new.”“She's such a great friend and I miss her so damn much.” I smiled.“I used to be your only friend. Shouldn’t I be jealous now?” She chuckled.“Why would you be?”“Anyway, I don’t know what magic Chloe possesses, but I’m very grateful to her. I can’t believe grumpy Keegan would agree. I&r

    “…It’s so glad to finally see your face and speak to you again. The pack house has been very different without you around and to worsen it, Kim isn’t here anymore.” Chloe said and heaved a sigh. Hearing about Kim's death made memories of her murder flash in my head and weighed my livened mood down. “It’s fine, it’s fine. None of this is your fault.” She probably noticed the gloominess in my look since it was a video call. “I can’t help—”“Let's change the topic of discussion.” She cut me off. “Concerning seducing your Alpha, how is that turning out?” “I won't continue with that. There’s no point anymore.” “What do you mean?” “I’m no longer undergoing any punishments. Alpha Keegan has freed me from all my punishments.” “That’s great! My seduction tips definitely worked on him. There’s no way you’re stopping it now.” A proud grin spread her lips apart. I couldn’t tell her it wasn't because of her seduction tips but because the mate bond was affecting him. Telling her could cau

    I continued searching everywhere for the omega, but there was still no sign of her. What the hell? Where could she be? I headed to Mrs. Bea’s chamber and burst the door open without thinking twice. “Mrs. Bea! Where is the omega?” Her eyes were widened by my barging in. She had a bunch of money in her hand that she quickly hid behind her. “Al-Alpha, you’re… here…”“I asked where the fuck is my omega?” she flinched at the loudness of my voice. “I have no idea where Jane is.”“Aren’t you in charge of assigning her to duties?” I asked with clenched fists and jaws. “Ye-yes, but I haven't seen her today. I was searching for her everywhere but couldn’t find her. I was mad that it had passed the time for her to make breakfast for the pack house, but she wasn’t doing that.”“Why didn’t you inform me about that?”“I had no idea… I mean, I was going to, I didn’t think she was missing or something, I only thought… I thought… I didn’t know, Luna mind-linked me while I was still searching for h

    ~ JANE ~ A bright light shone on my face , bright enough to pierce through my eyelids and literally feel like it was burning my eyes. I rolled around, hugging the soft blanket to my chest. It felt very relaxing and most importantly, I was way too comfortable which was very strange. My eyes snapped open, scanning around like a lost puppy. I was in Alpha Keegan’s room, on his bed, again— that explained the out of the world comfort, but why? I didn’t even remember going to bed last night. With a yawn, I rolled off the bed and sneaked into Alpha Keegan’s bathroom. It was way bigger than I had imagined, definitely bigger than my bedroom; the gold-theme of the bathroom made its luxury glisten, the bathtub had a classy glass slide, the toilet bowl looked way too exorbitant and neat, like something I could lick and still remain healthy, that was crazy, I know. I quickly washed my mouth and slipped in to take a shower, the fastest shower I had ever taken, before quickly slipping back to m

    I was re-reading the address Casper had sent. There was no way I could miss this chance to experience something that sounded so fun. My gaze met the fury-laced gaze of the petite woman; her brown eyes felt like they were shooting daggers at me. She hadn’t taken her eyes off me for even a moment since she got here. She had even called someone else to return the tray to the kitchen. Of course, the lady had also glared at me like I was a piece of shit. “I don’t know whatever stupid thing you’re trying to do, but I won’t disobey Alpha’s order and I’ll watch you till you fall asleep.” She gruffed. “Can’t you at least—”“It’s not like I’m interested in watching over you, so just remain quiet to avoid pissing me off even more.” She rolled her eyes and finally sat on the couch. I internally groaned, this frustration was becoming unbearable. Being in the same room with her made me feel like I was choking. I knew Alpha Keegan was going to make me resume my punishments, but this was way too

    ~ 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
