BradEven though I tried not to, I was still wondering about the declaration Conan had made the previous night. My heart burned with jealousy and unease when I remembered the look on his face as he made the declaration. His face had been hard and rigid with determination and possessiveness. And I knew the look in his eyes had been for me. He knew about my fascination with Jade, and he was intent on subtly letting me know that she was his and no one else's. It spoke of his absolute belief in the fact that Jade had only eyes for him and for no one else.Jade was an extremely beautiful woman, added to the fact that she had a naturally submissive wolf, which all dominant werewolves want, if we're being truthful to ourselves.Jade's beauty transcended the ordinary. It was as though every feature of hers had been sculpted with precision.Her eyes, pools of a warm summer sky, drew me in and made me feel helpless. There was a certain enchantment in the way her gaze could command attention, d
Brad“Jade asked me to come to her office if she doesn't call me in the next five or ten minutes," he said.“Do you think something is going on?” I asked him.“I don’t know," he said, looking worried for her.“Why don’t you be on your way to see if she is okay?”“Sure," he said as he bowed and he exited my room. I was worried and as I stared at the closed door, I wanted to ask him to stay back while I went in his stead.No.I shook my head and focused on my desk and the massive amount of paperwork I had to do.Conan's POV I strode down the large expansive hallway adorned with several ceramic vases and priceless artworks that spoke of mismanaged wealth. I nodded absentmindedly as several maids walked past me, bowing as I walked past them. I was not ignorant of the way they giggled and gossiped to themselves.As I headed out to the palace's underground parking lot, I heard someone calling out my name. I turned back to see that it was Luna Trina.She was walking speedily toward me on t
Conan'"Your pack?"Is that all this piece of shit got from what I said?"Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Brad the Alpha of this pack? So who the hell are you?" He asked, placing emphasis on Brad's name to prove that he knew him."I'm the Beta of this pack," I replied."Really?" He asked, his gaze flickering to Jade who was still trying to peep around me. "And you're her boyfriend.""I'm her man. And neither I nor her appreciate you cornering her against a wall.""Really? Did she tell you so? Cos from my perspective, she didn't seem to mind."Is this guy for real?In my distraction, Jade was finally able to escape my arm that had been holding her back, and stepped forward, standing beside me with her arms crossed."She is right here, and doesn't appreciate you talking about her as though she isn't," she said, her lips pursed into an adorable pout that she probably thought was stern.Alpha Bowen turned his gaze to her, running his eyes over her and lingering on her mouth.I growled
ConanI immediately stepped away from Jade as she asked me to stop. She looked unsure and bit her lip, as I have noticed she usually did whenever she was confused or in inner turmoil about something."Is something wrong?" I asked, my breathing a little bit too fast for my liking.She wrapped her arms around herself, looking tiny and fragile seated on the table, half-naked. It made me want to go to her and take her in my arms… to comfort her, but I wasn't certain how she would react…Her gaze flickered back down to the phone. "Who's calling?" I gestured towards the persistently ringing phone on the desk, not wanting to move closer to get it and hoping to divert the focus from the palpable tension between us.Jade glanced at the phone, her expression shifting from uncertainty to resignation. "It's Brad."Instantaneously, a wave of understanding crashed over me. The name echoed in the charged air, bringing with it the cold reality of our choices."We shouldn't have done this, and… and w
Conan"Deal, Sparrow," I said, watching a subtle smile play on her lips. It seemed I had successfully diverted her attention, at least momentarily, from the weighty matters at hand."Now, about that dream of yours," she prodded, her eyes searching mine for an explanation.I sighed, deciding it was time to share a part of my past with her. "It wasn't just any dream. It was a memory."Her eyes softened as she absorbed the revelation. "Who was she to you?""She was someone important. But that's a story for another time."Jade nodded, understanding the need for discretion. The air hung heavy with unspoken words, our bodies still tingling from the interrupted moment of intimacy."Let's focus on us, Sparrow," I suggested, my gaze meeting hers. "What made you stop us back there?""Brad.""Because he called or because he called?" I asked, hiding the look that had probably crossed her face, by making a pretense of walking over to one of the plush chairs she had in her office.I plopped down on
JadeI did not look up from my desk, until after Conan had left. A sniffle had escaped me before he left and I had held my breath, hoping he would not use that as an excuse to stay or try to comfort me.I hurriedly wiped off the single tear that had escaped as I heard the dark murmur of his voice, still outside my office. I briefly answered who he was talking to and chastened myself for being curious and for being hurt when he was not able to answer my question about our relationship. I gave a derisive snort.I began to wonder again why Conan was helping me with my revenge. He claimed it was for me to get my closure and he wanted to help me, but after seeing the strange dynamic that existed between him and Brad, I was beginning to think he had another reason, one that could be much more worse than I thought.My mind went back to the formal dinner party that Luna Trina had thrown. Conan had burst into the restroom, catching Brad as he had pinned me against my will against the wall. H
JadeI raised a bemused eyebrow. "I can have him?" She shrugged, leaning back against her chair and now looking like a carefree teenager, but I didn't miss how her eyebrows drew together in a slight wince. "I had planned to marry Beta Conan once I was old enough. But, you can have him, I give you my blessings."I let out a small laugh. "Oh really, thank you, Olivia. I appreciate your kind gesture of letting me have the love of your life for myself."She waved her dainty hand in the air like she was a princess. "Oh, you're welcome."I allowed my laugh to flow out of me freely as the tension in the room eased. It was a strange, almost surreal moment, shifting from the weighty discussion about her bruise to this lighthearted banter about Conan."Alright then, I'll make sure to let him know about your generous offer," I said with a playful smile.She grinned, her youthful energy shining through. "Great! Now, about this bruise..."I focused back on the seriousness of the situation. "Firs
ConanMeet me by the edge of the huge tree that stands at the north territory of your pack in the next thirty minutes. Come alone, or you won't get the answers you are looking for.-The Rogue AlphaThat was the message I got as soon as I stepped out of the pack's infirmary after my encounter with Jade. I put my phone back in my pocket and continued walking towards the car that I had haphazardly parked in front of the front doors of the building. Probably recognizing my car, the security guard had placed orange cones around it. I nodded in appreciation and motioned for him to come closer. He did and I tipped him handsomely, making sure to both apologize for my wrongful parking and thank him for what he did.I got into the car and put on my seat belt, but before I could start the ignition, my phone buzzed again.I looked down at it to see that it was a message from Alpha Brad; Is Jade alright?I ignored the message and started the ignition.Another message came in.Conan, call me.He
ConanI had won the fight between Brad and I. The fight which had spanned over years and decades and finally came up victorious.He returned to his human self as I did the same. I looked around to see the grounds which had been broken and filled with blood and machines.“All of this just to take me down,” I chuckled as he slowly healed and sat up, but he was too tired to do anything.“Don’t flatter yourself,” he coughed up a tooth. “It was for an entire country.”“And yet I took down your entire army single-handedly.”He growled at me. “Who are you? What kind of monster are you?”“The monster that you created, Brad!” I yelled in anger. “I used to have a home, a family, a mother and a father who loved me. I used to have a brother I thought was my better half but he turned out to be a monster.”Suddenly he got the hint of what I was saying as his eyes widened. “Yes Brad, we are both siblings. You were supposed to be my brother, my friend and the one who would watch my back. Instead you
ConanI stared at the robots before me that had halted, before looking at Brad, Trina and a strange lady in a snowy pack uniform.She had to be the one controlling these beasts.She stepped forward with a devious smile on her face.“You were the one who put my sister in a body bag,” she laughed. “You beat her so much she could not survive, so she succumbed to her wounds. That was my younger sister. I am going to make sure these machines deal so much damage to you, you wouldn’t even feel your jaw by the time they dislocate your body parts with punches.”I yawned. “You show up at my doorstep intending to have a war with me. I think we should start this war before arguing over who is stronger and who is not.”She laughed. “A feisty man I see. Very well. Let’s see how feisty you will be by the time they are done with you.”She pushed a button as the robots all turned to me.I counted at least twenty robots. The last
JadeI had not seen this coming. Now I knew we were really screwed. Conan has struggled against one of these creatures before being jumped by multiple. None of us could stand against this creature. It was too powerful for us to fight. We had to run out of here and give up the pack.“What is that thing?” a general gasped with the other warriors on the field watching this strange creature walk towards us.It seemed to have a few minor upgrades. Its arms were now made of iron, it wasn’t seven or eight foot tall like the last time. It had a sleek design but this was made to rival alpha’s and I was sure all of these new designs made it lighter and faster.“We need to get back to the pack and get everyone to safety,” I noted. “If we stay here we are going to die and lose everything. We need to get the people in the pack to safety first.”But the generals were still fascinated by what they were seeing.“General!
Jade“Good luck,” she hugged me. “And make sure you don’t die or I will kill you myself.”I wasn’t going to argue with her on how ridiculous that was but instead I would leave her to her thoughts.I headed out with the generals and the elders all wearing their armors.Our army had gone ahead of us to halt them ahead of time before they would get into the pack. If they got in, it was over. They would destroy our pack and kill our civilians too.We had nowhere to run or hide, this pack was all we had going for us.“So… have we sent word to our allies?” I asked while we rode in the battle van to the battlefield.“No one responded so it’s either they haven’t seen the message yet or they don’t want help. Either way we are on our own,” an elder responded.That was a strange thing. Every alpha was supposed to respond to a distress call from another alpha. It was an unwritten rule, unless the two packs had a silent war going on between them.We got to the field and I found how deadly it was.
Brad“That’s because you might be extremely cheap with the way you were banging her throughout. But you should know this,” she threatened. “The next time you sleep with someone else is the day I leave you for someone better and take all my forces with me. Do you hear me?”I could easily push her away but Trina had one of the best land forces who could fight even dangerous rogues without breaking a sweat and I needed them by my side. I had no choice but to accept her decision.“Yes,” I said. A knock came on the door as I opened it to find a maid there.“What is it?” I asked.“There is a call for you on line three.”I slammed the door on her face, zipping to take up the call.“Hello,” I said.“Conan is out of the game,” the voice said. “He’s been in a coma in the hospital for days now. I don’t think he’s going to make it out alive.”This gave me hope for my invasion. With Conan out of the equation, I would kill off his pack without difficulty. He was the greatest asset his pack had.*
Brad“Well,” I smiled, spreading my arms. “There goes my element of surprise.”“Oh please,” she stood up, zipping to stand before me. “I wasn’t expecting anyone to show up.”She brought her face too close to mine and her cold breath hit my hot face. The tension between us climbed to greater heights before she grabbed my hand and zipped me to a room where I tore her clothes and she removed mine.I was inside her within minutes while she moaned and we broke the bed with our combined force.When we were done, we laid in the mess we had created, fascinated by each other's strengths.“Does your wife give you sex the way I give you?” she smirked naughtily which had me kissing her breast before sitting up.“She’s not to be in this conversation,” I said. I hated having intimate discussions with those I slept with. They were not to know about my immediate family. That was something I should keep away from us. “I see you don’t want to talk about her. Very well then, why are you in my pack?“I c
BradI paced around the bedroom, wondering why my men weren’t picking up their calls.“Do you think they panicked and chewed the pill?” Trina asked.“That’s their own business.”“You held their wives and children captive and told them to track and take back your children or you would kill them. They could take the pill just to save their children.”I didn’t care about the dead. What I wanted now was a way to get back my children. If that was not going to be possible then there was only one thing to do. I would have to get back to the snow pack and make an alliance with them. I was sure they would want to know who had almost killed their queen.“I’ll be back,” I said, leaving her in the room as I headed for the garage to get into my car and drive off.The desert wolves were about to learn the meaning of what surrender looked like.I would first take back my back from the hands of my conquerors and then tear down their packs. After that, I would head for Conan’s pack and kill him and J
JadeShe cleaned a tear which fell off her eye, trailing a line down to her cheek.This must have been a very painful experience for her but I was still wondering why she was telling me this story.“I left him and headed out of town to come here,” she sighed. “The last time I checked on him, he was married to a fellow werewolf with four children and leading his pack as a warrior and the most feared one in his pack. I have wondered over the years if maybe if I had stayed with him, would I have brought him peace or agony?”“The only way to have known anything about that would have been you trying to get back with him and working your differences,” I smiled, now knowing what she was bringing the story for.“Exactly,” she smiled. “Now that’s the same thing for you and Conan. Instead of leaving him where he is in the hospital and running off in the model of the night like I did, not knowing if you were meant for him or not, you can work out your differences with him. “I recently found out
JadeI told her everything about what had happened and throughout my entire story, she didn’t interrupt me or say anything that distracted me.She was the only human friend I had made who actually listened to me. She was different from most of the people I had met.Even werewolves were not as good as she was. When I was done, she smiled at me, dragging me in for a hug while placing my head on her shoulder.“I’m very sure he wouldn’t listen to my pleas,” I sighed. “He probably hates me right now. I’m sure of it.”“No he doesn’t,” she sighed. “You have to talk to someone to know their true intentions.”“I don’t know about that. I’m sure he hates me. I betrayed him, Helena. I brought him to his knees. That’s not how a mate should behave. I should help him and not destroy him. I destroyed him.”My voice cracked while I let her go, standing to my feet to pace around the room.“And do you want to know the worst part of all of this?” I asked as she shook her head. “It’s the part where when
