CAYDEN

A cold silence washed over us in the room at the mention of my guest. Of all people, he was the last person I expected to show up unannounced.

I have been married to his daughter for about five years now and he has never made a visit like this or ever visited if it wasn't business related. I know we don't have any business to discuss at the moment so I can only think of one possible reason why he is here.

"Bella, that bitch," I mumbled as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

She must have told him about her fight with Lily.

I looked up as I felt the bloodlust pouring out of Jace who stood frozen to the spot since he heard the news. His fists were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white and his nails drew blood. His teeth was also gritted so hard, I could see the veins at his temple.

This was another reason I never wanted him visiting without informing me. Considering his history with Jace, my Beta would usually get so livid with anger that he could barely control his blood

    MARCYAnother uneventful week passed and quite sincerely, I was becoming bored im the Blue Heart Pack. I had Hannah and Helena but I also felt like a privileged prisoner. I set boundaries to prevented me from exploring the rest of the Alpha's mansion, not that anything has changed anyways. I also have very limited freedom within the pack and these days I can feel the presence of stealth specialists as they trail me and watch my every move on what I assume to be Cayden's orders."I miss the Nightwalker Pack," I sighed as I sat in my office."Then, go visit it," Beatrice said absentmindedly as she was seated opposite from me, helping me organise some of the documents I needed to peruse and sign."What?" I asked. "You know I can't go back when the threat of that bastard lurks.""You can make your departure discreet," she suggested. "Make it the most guarded secret. Also, with the crystal heart and your blood in it, here they wouldn't be able to invade the mansion. "But the crystal does

  • The Omega's True Mate    Regrets

    CAYDEN My message has been relayed to Marcy and the plan has been set in motion. I sent delegates to the packs sharing our borders and informed them of my desire to ally with them in the fight against this formidable adversary.Three out of four replies I got here favourable a s the last one was... one could say hostile. I can guess why but they at least allowed for a negotiation in person. One that gave me just once chance to prove the need for an alliance. I was given a week to prepare and that week is over. Today is the day.I stared at the figure standing beside me, elegant and poised in her posture. A posture that exuded regal opulence and resident confidence. She stood to the full extent of her height, boosted by the heels on her feet. Her tailored black pants hugged her curves perfectly, sparing no effort to accentuate her hourglass figure. She paired it with a simple white, long-sleeved shirt. Even as simple as it was, the outfit seemed even better on her. Her flowing black

    CAYDENThe rest of the journey went by in awkward silence as Marcy never spared me a single glance after that.The air in the car slowly grew more suffocating and uncomfortable as my wolf wouldn't stop claiming his mate and setting my loins on fire.Every time I stared at her, I resisted the primal urge to make her mine.I wanted to disregard all of it. The tension between us, the importance of this trip and the fact that she could kill me at will. I wanted to let go of it all as long as I claimed her.My wolf wasn't helping either as he slowly drove me to the brink of insanity in its lust.I regretted riding in the same car with her.Despite her strength, she looked so delicate as she sat beside me with a straight face and her eyes glued to the window. I wanted to possess and protect her.The car soon stopped, an indication that we had arrived at our destination.Marcy got out immediately, still not bothering to spare me a quick glance.I watched her leave and sat in the silence and

    MARCYAn awkward silence settled in the room at Rafael's request. Cayden sat motionless as he stared stiffly at Rafael. So stiff that one would think he was a statue."What did you say?" he finally asked, his voice carrying a dangerous undertone."You heard me, Will," Rafael smiled. "Think of it. I'm sure a woman of her caliber would be high maintenance. I also know you would never agree to become her subordinate so there is only one option for you. You're paying her a shit ton of money for her time."Cayden clenched his fists."And?" "You know I'm a lot more richer than you, Will," Rafael shrugged. "Give her to me and I'll pay her whatever you both agreed and more. Of course, I'll make sure she helps you as well. It's a favourable situation for you. You don't have to pay the hefty sum you owe her and you still get her help.""And what's in it for you?"Rafael smiled and looked at me."That I cannot say, Will.""Then this negotiation is over," Cayden said as he stood up. "Let's go, y

    CAYDENI resisted the urge to trash my table once I was back in my office but made sure to bring my fist down heavy at it, leaving a net of cracks on its surface.Rafael, that bastard.He outsmarted me and has undermined my position by giving Marcy the power to command our collective army instead of me. Even as a mature man, I never thought that bastard would still hold on to childish notions and rivalries. Being the heirs to neighbouring but also rival packs, both me and Rafael have been at the forefront of the most petty battles or egocentric boasts by our parents who were both friends and enemies at the same time.Over time, their rivalry got to us too and we competed over almost everything. He's always had the edge over me in terms of charisma and strategical thinking, but I was superior to him in terms of practicality. Our mini rivalry that seemed like a means to pass the time only intensified as we grew up. Even though we remained closed, we never stopped competing and would e

    MARCYPanic, anger, hatred, vengeance and a plethora of negative emotions swarmed within me as I sat in the car with a frown and tears rolling down my cheeks. Cayden was seated beside me. I could feel his eyes on me but I was in no mood to scold or indulge him at the moment. He seemed to understand that as well as he simply kept mute and watched me."Um..." he spoke like he had something to say, but I didn't bother to look at him to find out.We spent the next few minutes in tense silence before he spoke up again."I suck at consoling people so I don't know what to say to you, but-""I don't need your consolation," I retorted. "Just take me to Bella's father.""You can't be violent with him, Marcy," he said, correcting himself immediately."I can and I will if they don't produce my children," I replied coldly. My mind was set on what I intended to do and it was pretty straightforward."You're going to regret fighting an Alpha in his pack, Marcy," he insisted."It won't be a fight," I

    CAYDENThe atmosphere was tense as the sight of his easy defeat burned itself into Alpha Grey's memory. The ease at which she defeated him scared me as well. Just like the feeling I had when we sparred, both I and Grey could tell. If this was a fight to the death, he'd be dead."What are you? An assassin?" Grey said with a slight tremor to his voice. He was too scared to even move a muscle. "No Alpha fights like this.""I was trained to kill my enemies, not fight them," Marcy replied. "Are you my enemy, Alpha Grey?" "No," he replied immediately. "Let's talk about this.""Where are my children?" she asked once again, her voice cold and demanding."If you find them, will you leave my daughter alone?" he asked. "If she agrees to spar with Beatrice in a one on one fight, then I will," she replied. "I wanna see my children first.""Where is Bella, Grey?" I sighed as I walked towards them and stopped beside them. I wasn't foolish enough to try pacifying Marcy. That might anger her even m

  • The Omega's True Mate    A Miracle

    MARCYI woke up with a blinding headache and the feeling of the cold hard floor on my back. I could feel my head throbbing and even hear voices as I tried coming to my senses.For a second, I was confused. Overwhelmed by the unfamiliarity of my surroundings and almost scared. And then it all came back to me. The memories of the betrayal from Bella's father and the memory of my promise to him. Painfully also, the memory of my kids who I still haven't found.Tears rolled down the sides of my face as I curled up into a ball on the cold floor and sobbed. I was scared.Scared that my children might have been hurt by Bella. Scared that they would be scared right now and calling for me. I was scared that I could lose them."Marcy, are you awake?" Cayden's familiar voice asked. It seemed... concerned."That's no business of yours," I replied coldly as I hugged myself even more. "Thank the goddess that you're awake," he sighed. "I was worried they hit you too hard. Your wound is mostly h

    CAYDENI gave them a puzzled look as the all stares at me. "What?" I asked. "How do you expect me to lure him out? The guy hates my guts. He's basically starting this whole war simply to ruin me.""That's exactly the reason why you are the best person to lure him out," Marcy replied. "He seems to be holding a deep and terrible grudge for you. All you have to do is tug on that grudge.""What?" I asked, confused. "I don't understand.""I'll be straightforward with it then," she said. "We can't win against that guy when his brain and mind are functioning properly. He is incredibly smart, cunning and overly cautious. He might make a mistake in battle but not one that we can exploit. He might also have a vast army by now considering all of the deaths he's caused. He's even had time to turn them into his minions. There's no telling the amount of abominations he can unleash on us.""I still don't understand what any of that has to do with me and how it helps me anger him," I replied, lookin

    CAYDENI stared at Marcy, at her beautiful eyes as they stare back at me."You're right," I nodded. "He must going around and talking to anyone he believes would be strong enough to be a threat to him.""He won't be simply convincing them either," Rafael added. "He threated me with death when I refused. I believe the others would be getting the same offer I got, both the good and bad aspects of it. He gave up on killing me for reasons I wouldn't disclose but I don't think the others will get that luxury."We pondered it for a bit and Marcy started to speak."What do yo-""Switch," Raphael suddenly said, looking beside him. It took me a while to figure out that he was talking to one of the women he was sleeping with. "Oh, and pass the gag as well. I'm still having a meeting.""Oh, so you remember you are in a meeting," I hissed. "Couldn't you do this at a more convenient time?""You know me, Cayden," Rafael smiled. "I'm actually showing a bit of decorum here. At least give me some cred

    MARCYFor goddess' sake, these two would never stop bickering. I couldn't help but sigh at Cayden's blatant response to her name, obviously angering Beatrice who stared back at him with resolute indignation."And I couldn't be bothered that this bastard is an Alpha," she retorted."Okay, that's it," I said. "Beatrice, you would have to excuse us for this conversation.""The Beta too," he added as Alex silently perused the documents, choosing not to involve himself in their conflict.Ever since Cayden accepted Bella back for the sake of my children, Alex had developed a form of respect for him. He still hates him with a passion but just like me, he has learned to tolerate him as well."I don't think it would be a good idea for Alex to not be present," I replied. "If this is about nobody, that is. He's been doing a lot of research on him and the kind of creature he is. I believe he would have some important information to share."Cayden seemed... displeased?It might just be my imagina

    CAYDEN"What was I thinking?" I chastised myself under my breath, mentally facepalming at my impulsiveness. "This is all Jace's fault. That bastard."Jace's words had plagued me after he said them. He wasn't wrong. All I needed to do hear from Marcy was call her. It was as easy as that.But that was incredibly tough for me. I don't think I've spoken to Marcy since we started walking together. In fact, we've never talked on the phone from the day I knew her. Calling her now would not only put of character, but it'll be awkward as well.I couldn't bring myself to do it.I also couldn't deny the fact that I missed her presence in the pack. Hateful as she may be of me, she brightened up my mood when I saw her. This only increased after our imprisonment in the Bloodless Pack. She had grown to tolerate me and at least give me a chance to talk to her without it divulging into an argument about my horribly stupid past mistakes. She even allowed me interact with her children who strangely ca

    MARCYHectic.That's the only word that best describes my return to the pack.It turns out having a competent Beta cam only make your work harder when you leave for a long time. Alex handled everything and being the man that he is, decided that there are some decisions that require my exclusive input and they were too sensitive to be discussed while I was in the Blue Heart Pack because of the possibility that we were being watched.That has only served to complicate my life more now that I'm back as I had a plethora of meetings, hours of perusing documents and even more hours of signing such that my wrists hurt.Knowing I would be going back, Alex was making sure I did all that could be done before leaving.I groaned audibly as I read through yet another document. Alex is in the chair opposite me as he silently read and sorted out other documents. We've been at this for five hours now and I am both exhausted and bored.A knock on the door attracts our attention and I hope against all

    CAYDEN"Jace!" I yelled as I rummaged through my office in search of a particular document. "Jace!"Jace calmly walked in on my second call with his usual expressionless face. "You know, you could easily call me through the mind link. You didn't have to yell.""I do what I want," I retorted as I continued to rummage through my shelves while Jace stood there calmly, watching me.After a few minutes of fruitless effort, I turned to look at him. "Well?" I said with annoyance in my eyes. "Help me out, will you?!""You still haven't told me what you are searching for, Alpha?" He replied calmly. "I can't find it if I don't know it.""The contract we drew up with the Nightwalker Pack. I want that contract," I replied as I continued to check through numerous files and documents."May I ask why?" I looked up at him again, this time my annoyance turning into anger."No, you may not! Just fucking find it!""That's why I said you could have just asked me through the mind link instead of going

    CAYDENJace's words bit deep. All I could do was stare at my Beta as he quite calmly admonished me for my foolish mistakes. I had no words for him as I stared at my table, unable to even look at his face."Well, who am I to chastise you," he shrugged. "I don't know what it's like to be Alpha and I've never ruled a pack. You probably were desperate at the time and I can understand that desperate times call for desperate solutions.""Jace," I sighed after a few seconds of silence between us. "What do I do to get out of this mess?"He didn't reply for a few minutes before taking a deep breath."Solve it."I finally got the courage to look up at him."What?" "First of all, get that weird sorry look off your face," he said. "An Alpha must never falter. You know that better than I do."I continued to stare at him, puzzled."I've never been in your situation before because I've never had to kill a woman I impregnated, so I don't have a set path I could advise you to follow," he continued.

    yCAYDENI tapped my fingers restlessly on my table as I sat at on my office. The atmosphere is quite relaxing with rays of sunlight illuminating the office through the window and a tranquil silence that would easily put anyone to sleep.Yet, I was restless.The door opened and Alex walked in distractedly as he eyes were glued to a few papers in his hand."Good day, Alpha," he greeted, still distracted. "You called for me.""Yeah," I nodded. "Take a seat."He promptly obeyed but still didn't look up from his papers. They seem to have him entranced."Eyes up ahead, Jace," I said as I tapped louder on the table to get his attention.He finally looked up at me with a question in his eyes, obviously displeased for having to look up from whatever he is reading."What do you have there?" I asked out of curiosity."Documents of our expenditure and a few other observations the scouts and administrators reported about the pack. Apparently, we might have neglected quite a bit in the past year."

    MARCYThe atmosphere was tense in my office. I was on high alert and I scanned my surroundings carefully for any sign of his invisible minions. He knew they couldn't escape my eye so he brought none. Even still, I wasn't exactly at peace around him.There was something inherently wrong about his entire presence. Except for the obvious scent of death surrounding him, I can feel there was something else but can't quite place my hand on it.I don't want to admit it but he gives me the chills."A warning, huh?" I asked coldly as I tapped my fingers on my desk. "Are you gonna threaten me in my own pack?""I wouldn't be dumb enough to do that, would I?" He chuckled. "I'm hoping not," I replied."So, if I do warn or threaten you," he said as he leaned forward. "It's because I am confident that I can."I stared at him for a few minutes and leaned forward as well."Then you must be the most foolish being on earth, whatever you are."He chuckled for a bit and then leaned back."I like you, Al
