Third person's POV. " We found them in the Freeway pack, Alpha, but we couldn't get them," Xander dropped on his knees, under Alpha Rico as he reported the attack on the Freeway pack. Alpha Rico who was having a nice moment with his mate, Eva, stood up immediately and suspended what he was doing, oblivion to Eva's presence. " You saw them?" Rico asked, his voice loud, and audible. Xander nodded downward, not sparing Rico a glance. " How pathetic!! Xander, I trusted you, and your men. How come you failed to bring me a slim girl?" Rico asked disappointment in his eyes. " I'm sorry, Alpha. We were outnumbered by some hidden members, and the member's skills were so incredible than before. Jeremy seemed to have taught them our to defend themselves," Xander added, not looking up. Eva stood up from behind and chipped in. " No, it's not possible. Randelle and Jeremy are dead. How come you find them in the Freeway pack?" " They are alive, my Luna. Stronger than before," Xander said. Eva
Randelle's POV. " Rico?" I asked barely whispering as I saw Rico from afar. I was stunned by his appearance. His coming was unprecedented. He must have chosen to come after Xander told him that I and Jeremy were here. I didn't know why, but I was so scared of him. Not really because he could fight me but because anytime I see him, my heart gets pierced by my poignant past life. " That son of a bitch is here. Stay close to me, Randelle," Jeremy said to me. I nodded in response. " Alpha Sagittarius?" Jeremy asked in surprise as he sighted the mentioned Alpha. Alpha Sagittarius almost attained the position of the Alpha King a few years ago. He was a top and renowned figure in the territory. It baffled Jeremy as he saw him among the bad eggs in the territory. I was baffled too. Blade picked his bow set three sharp arrows in it, and positioned it in Rico's direction. " I'd make sure I take his life for taking everything that belongs to me," As soon as they entered the underground pathw
Third person's POV. Alpha Sagittarius and Rico were receiving treatment over the attack at the Freeway pack. They have been sick since the attack. The liquid wolfsbane Jeremy and Randelle used on them had made their wolf numb. " How are you feeling now?" The pack doctor asked As he was pressing he served them an herb. " I'm feeling better, but my wolf is still numb," Rico said and collected the herb from him. He downed it, squeezing his face as a result of the bitterness in the herb. " You'd be fine, Alpha. You need time to get healed," The pack doctor said and picked up all his medical equipment as he walked out. " The bastards are yet to report to us yet, Rico. Are you sure they aren't dead?" Sagittarius asked Rico. Rico nodded in disagreement. " No, Sagittarius. Those bastards can't be dead. Maybe they are just being too careful not to be caught,". Beta Xander rushed in, snatching the attention of Rico, and the other. " My Alpha, the spies are dead, and Jeremy and Randelle ha
I furrowed my brows and opened my ears to hear what else Eva had to tell me about Alpha Rico that I wasn't aware of. " Alpha Rico wasn't the next Alpha of the Dark wand pack. He fought his way for the title," Eva revealed, barely a whisper. I sighed and rolled my eyes as if that was new to me whereas it wasn't. It was in my past life that I failed to know that the Alpha position doesn't belong to Rico. However, in this life, I knew he wasn't entitled to be the Alpha of the Dark Wand pack, and that was part of the reason why I had picked up on justice. " You know this and you're with him, wallowing in injustice?" I asked and crinkled my nose" I know I have chosen the wrong path, and that's why I'm here," Eva added. Even as I guessed Eva was disguising for a reason I didn't know, I still felt part of herself that was real. Has she changed? Even if she has I'd still revenge my death on her, and Rico. But then, I'd take her revelations and use them against her. " It's fine, Eva. I've
Randelle "Again!" Kieran barked, his gravelly voice echoing through the misty dawn forest. I staggered to my feet, legs shaking, and bent to grab the heavy pack I had just finished sprinting with. My lungs burned as I gasped down air. Through the sweat dripping into my eyes, I saw Kieran frowning, arms crossed over his broad chest."No rest yet, recruit! Give me five more sprints up that hill with full pack!" I bit back a groan. My thighs screamed from the repeated hill charges already this morning. But Kieran's flinty stare brooked no argument.Jaw set, I turned and began lumbering up the steep trail once more. My boots slipped on loose pebbles as I forced leaden legs into a run. At the crest of the hill I pivoted, chest heaving, and started back down.Kieran's voice trailed me on each agonizing repeat. "Drive those legs! Put some fury in that stride!"At last I stumbled across the makeshift finish line on my fifth climb. My pack hit the ground an instant before I crumpled too, wh
Randelle "You'll never pin me to the dirt like a lame elk at this rate!" Kieran's mocking voice cut through my concentration as I circled the grass sparring ring, sweat dripping down my spine. I gritted my teeth, centering my focus. Don't let him rile you up. Across from me, Kieran prowled like a wolf sizing up prey. His sharp eyes missed nothing as he studied my stance, waiting for an opening to strike. "Feet light as a dancer! Know where my next blow will land before I throw it!" he barked, words punctuated by a sudden flurry of jabs that had me dancing and twisting to evade. The repetitive mantra played in my head as I pivoted and ducked Kieran's probing attacks. Stay loose as a reed in the wind. Sway and weave, anticipating his moves. Avoid damage as much as dealing it. But fatigue weighted my limbs after our hour already sparring. I moved one beat too slow, and Kieran's open palm cracked hard across my cheekbone. Pain exploded across my face, dazing me. "Pay attention, gi
Jeremy"Rise and shine, sleepy wolf," Randelle's amused voice filtered through my drowsy consciousness, followed by the warmth of her lips grazing my temple. I grunted, burying my face deeper into the pillow with a grumble. "Too early...wanna hold you longer." I muttered.A throaty chuckle answered me as Randelle snuggled closer, trailing ticklish kisses along my stubbled jaw. "Come on now, the sun waits for no one. We can continue this later." Her clever fingers danced down my side, finding each sensitive spot that made me squirm."Hey now, fightin' dirty!" I protested through laughter, catching her teasing hands in mine. Blinking fully awake at last, I rolled onto my back and lifted my head to peer at my grinning mate. This moment I crave in the past live. But now giving another chance by the goddess I'll relive it without regrets.Golden sunlight streaming through the windows glinted off her snowy braid and turned her eyes to quicksilver. "Using your feminine wiles to torment a p
JeremyI startled awake to the insistent rap of knuckles against wood. Blinking gritty eyes, I lifted my head from the pillow, senses still fogged by sleep. Odd...who'd come bangin' at this early hour? Beside me Randelle mumbled incoherently, burrowing deeper under the quilts. I chuckled softly, brushing a kiss over her tousled braid before rolling out of bed. Shivering as cold floorboards leached warmth from my bare soles, I crossed the darkened room. Pale predawn light edged the drawn curtains as I unlatched the door cautiously. Jake's familiar visage greeted me, cheeks ruddy from the chill morning. I cocked a questioning brow as he shouldered past me."Apologies for the rude awakening, brother." Jake made straight for our tiny kitchen, stirring the banked fireplace embers back to life. "But Ezra requests your presence at the longhall once you've broken fast. Urgent pack business."I yawned, scratching fingers through my tousled hair as comprehension filtered through my sleepy brai
