Diane's POV(…rival pack)Melissa was a stone throw from where she laid when the terrible storm began. She'd gone out to fetch for large branches to shield Diane temporarily from the heavy downpour. A few omegas that usually spent the night outside with her, had gone in, to seek shelter. At first she saw a pair of red glowing eyes, deep in the forest, from where she sat, but assumed it to be one of the hunters who arrived late. She clapsed her arms with opposite palms, shievering from the wind. She felt a soreness on her neck—the rain intensified the injury made by the neck shackles. Then there were two pairs of flaming gaze and then three. Their doubling up was like the fission of cancerous cells. Daine choked in her fright as the group drew closer. She had no mindlink to inform Melissa and other pack members, whom she cared less about. Unlike regular rogues, they weren't dashing through the forest. They were sure to be a rival pack that probably heard of the presence of special wolv
Diane’s pov(…mate bond)The feeling was getting intense. Her mate was around but who was it? Anxiety filled her heart as she wondered if it was Melissa, who was standing at a distance opposite her. It became more intense and then a rugged face stood before. He had so much contempt in his bloodshot eyes. It was not just cold. It was gruesome, coupled with the irritating scar across his face. That’s impossible. It couldn’t be him.“The day we’ve all been waiting for, innit?” He walked slowly towards her, as he ordered for her shackles to be taken off first, and replaced with a rusted bronze before he went close to her.Diane ached in bitterness as he drew closer. There has to be a mistake somewhere. Maybe it was Melissa. It had to be Melissa. It burned harder and fiercely, like an inferno in a dry forest. “You think; this can stop me from wiping out your entire family? Do you think this can stop me from emerging as the greatest Alpha to live? Do you think I will ever accept such filth
Diane's POV(…special wolf)Once more, it was her rejected mate. She was aware of it within. Her wounded heart had started to ache from the anguish she had been trying to numb with Melissa. Melissa trembled, and they hastily drew away from the hug. “What do you think you’re doing? Trying to ease her pain or what?” Melissa’s gaze fell as Xavier questioned.“Look how jealous he is over you. Show him, Diane. Spite him.” Trix urged angrily. “Where did you go? Why do you keep leaving?” Diane queried her wolf as Xavier continued to question Melissa, who had suddenly lost her voice."I warned you. You're too frail for me. I'll be obliged to slay that bloody monster if I stay with you any longer. I can't bear seeing you in anguish. I'm at a fork in the road. It hurts you to kill Xavier. Allowing him to live also harms you. I will leave the decision to you. But only when you're ready. I'll always be prepared. For the time being, defy him and make his heart suffer for rejecting you. Do it right
Diane’s POV(…another escape)He had defiled her, but this time at the cost of her virginity. He was rough with her and she felt a soreness underneath. She looked at the body by her side with so much loathing, as tears escaped the corners of her eyes. He had passed out. If she could just strangle him this very moment, but she could only think of it. She hadn’t the courage. She managed to crawl away from him, cursing her body for consent. There were traces of blood on the floor as she reached out for her cloth, wrapping it around her when Melissa sneaked in with frightened eyes.She placed her index finger on her lips, gesturing for her to be quiet as she unlocked the handcuff, careful enough not to make any noise, as Xavier kept snoring on the floor. Melissa mouthed, with pitiful eyes, “I’m sorry,” after noticing the blood stain. She was about to pull her up when they perceived Derrick’s scent. They both exchanged horrified glances at each other, as Melissa slipped under the bed, and
Alex’s POV(…the return)He'd been keeping himself up in Diane's room since she went missing, finding it impossible to cope with the loss. He'd looked all hours of the day and night. Weeks became years, and years began to morph into a decade. Her body was never discovered. Because she was wolfless before going away, it was hard to track her smell. Alex has become more sullen and harsh since then. He was dreaded by most people, including his beta. He once killed a guard instantly when he found out how a rogue escaped under his watch. He’d visit the borders every night and day and rarely relies solely on the reports of the hunters, till he gave up searching. The thought of how his pack will eventually be released to his enemy, ate him up daily, till he deteriorated into an emotionless Alpha.“We have captured another of Pablo’s men. It’s a woman this time,” one of the warriors, mind linked him while he was in his study.“And you don’t know what to do? Should I take on the duties of an A
Diane's POV(…reunion)“Father?” Diane asked weakly, as she turned to look at Williams by her side. She wailed heartily as the three embraced. “How did it happen?” Williams asked as they broke apart. The sight of her family made her ache. “I don’t think it’s the best time to have an inquiry session. She isn’t strong enough for that. The best we can do for her-” The doctor backed away when her father shot him a dreadful gaze.“He tortured me so much,” Diane stuttered as she leaned back on the pillow heap behind her. The doctor took a bow and left, thereafter.“Is it Pablo?” Alex asked. “No. He’s my half-brother. Xavier…”Alex turned to his beta, who seemed horrorstruck at the new development. They all listened to her recount, from the night of her capture till her arrival at the borders. They all gasped at intervals at the kind of torture she endured. Retelling the story made her relive the memories again. She knew it would take years to get over the trauma, if she ever did. “I just kn
Diane’s POV(…revenge at last)One cool afternoon, Williams came in with a gleeful countenance, while she was packaging the new portrait of Melissa she drew—in hopes that her wish of being hung on the hall of fame would be fulfilled whenever she eventually passes on. Her bowels had begun to inflate as she was placed solely on liquid meal and chemotherapy, to extend her life span. “I’ve missed your presence.”“I miss myself too. This body is a lot of work. Waking up daily to this reality is tiring. You hardly visit in the afternoon. What brings you here wearing such a smile? You have a potion for me?” Diane asked.“Not so. Although, I wish I had. None of my attempts brought positive results. I’ve also tried using my blood, but the mixtures will be harmful to your cells. It has been a major challenge making the one for only the cancer cells. I came to check on my beloved twin, along with good tidings”“Don’t make me wait too long for it. I’m no friends with suspense” she announced eager
Alex’s POV(…the last call)A stable region and an assurance of a reliable heir with a mate, were enough reasons for him to be happy that morning. They experienced peace from their enemy in the pack and his daughter was still alive. He was grateful for this sudden period of his life. Nothing could be more satisfying than seeing all one has worked for in good hands, at old age. So was the case of Alex. He was still basking in the mood of celebration, preparing to visit his daughter, when Mike rushed up to him. The persistence in his knock wasn’t a good omen as he permitted his entry. “The hospital reported that Diane was missing again. No one claims to know when she left, including her guard. I’m afraid she might have gone at will, because I met a few paper mess and a change of robe”Alex heart pounded as he spoke. “Are you suggesting she ran away on her accord? The borders are still inaccessible to our enemy. How long as she been missing?” Alex asked, choosing to stay calm. After all
A peaceful reign, a peaceful pack with the strongest of its kind. Meagan's father, Williams passed on happily after witnessing his daughter's ceremony. Congratulatory letters flew in daily from all parts of the region. The Alpha had gotten tired of reading through as she stumbled on a random note. “Congratulations Alpha. I'm glad you picked him over me but, I hope you don't regret your decisions soon. Cheers. Ray.”She smiled at the paper and squeezed it happily into the thrash. She had never regretted her decision. Her mate loved her even more than herself. “It still surprises me how you walked straight to me and said those words. I must have had a great resemblance with a simp. I couldn't hold back my tears,” Jason remarked as they held hands towards the pool. “I couldn't get over your mysterious eyes,”she replied with a chuckle. “What would have happened if I had rejected you instead?““I would be happy for you either ways. I didn't pass as the right mate for you after all my Fat
Meagan's POV(…the final battle)Larry continued to laugh hysterically until he emptied the keg. He climbed up the ladder as Meagan continued to hit her body against the glass until she transformed into her wolf form. “Rot in hades!“ Larry yelled from above the ladder as an lgnited lighter hit the ground. The fire traced the diesel so fast that the room was soon covered in a burning smoke. Meagan had mindlinked the pack and the warriors about Larry as she ordered for a rescue team. She kept on the attempt on the glass that was covered in flames as her body began to feel the intense heat. Her newly found father was lying helpless, holding on to his chest as he coughed vigorously. “The fire is alot. We can't get in, Alpha,” the leader of the rescue team mindlinked her as she hoped for the glass to give way to her hit. Finally, the glass began to crack as she increased her force. A massive fire extinguisher filled the room. The wolf that had come to their rescue joined in breaking down t
Meagan's POV(the first female Alpha)It was one night away from her enthronement. She had been receiving dignitaries from neighbouring packs as she helped in restoring their peace. Her life was more than perfect, or at least, better than what it used to be. She got an apartment for Ray pending the day of her enthronement as she thought to mark her mate the same night she became the Alpha.“We need to prepare the pyramid grounds and wash it clean. I will be away for a while, Alpha,” Larry announced to her one evening and left. She entered her room and prepared for a good rest. The thoughts of her enthronement has consumed her mind. What if she failed her mission? What If the moon goddess doesn't grant her the title? There was one person she could ring to feel better. She reached out for her phone and dialed Ray's number. They spoke for hours long until it encroached into her sleeping time. There was never a dull moment with Ray. A sharp movement from the outside of her windows distrac
Meagan's POV(…fated to two mates)She tried to retain her stern look but his sheepish look wasn't helping. How can she be heating for a monster like him? If you have nothing to say then, I'll pass my judgement” she announced again, in a bid to trigger a reaction but he kept on smiling at her as one who was at the verge of suffering a terrible mental relapse. “Don't kill him. Send him to the dungeon instead,” Arya remarked as she contemplated what verdict she was to pass. Trix had been away for a while, so Arya had been in control of her all along. She made up her mind and commanded, “Chain in down in the dungeons until he dies a natural death.“ The guards, whom she was yet to familiarize with, bowed before her and took out Xavier. She didn't know what to do with Jason yet, so she instructed him to be locked up with his father, until she had decided on what to do. “Congratulations, Meagan. Your mother must be beaming with pride from above,” Arya encouraged as she stared mistly at the
Jason's POV(…the last heir)“What do you think you're doing, son?“ the Alpha mindlinked him as they ceased normal communication. “Do you know how hard I've worked to get the throne? Do you know how powerful I've become amidst other neighboring packs? You must be out of your mind.““I'm out of my mind. I love her, father and I love you too. I can't leave anyone of you. It's the only way to avoid a heated war.““There would be no war if we kill her before her abilities return back and we both know it would be twice her previous power. It's a stupid idea to keep such a threat.““You asked for a mate—”The alpha interrupted, “Yes. I wanted a mate for you, not an Omega. This would never happen. I would rather die of my illness that watch her become the Alpha of the pack.““But, If she becomes my mate, we can both lead the pack. She would be a strong woman. Please, father. She has agreed. This is my one chance to lead a peaceful life like you always wanted. I'll never find a mate in anothe
Meagan's POV(…unexpected accomplice)“Who are you?“ Meagan asked, regretting why she was too weak to find out herself as the now human stranger refused to cease from patting her hair. “I wouldn't reveal my identity until you grant my request. You would want nothing from me if you ever find out but, my wish is that you don't see me as you used to.“Meagan was sure it wasn't Ray but it had a close resemblance to Larry's voice, only with a touch youthfulness and pain. “I'll tell a short story and therafter you can do whatever you want with me, and the baby. Shall I proceed?“Meagan, who knew her choices were limited, agreed, “Yes.““A girl child was raised by a single mother and grew up to hate males, after assuming all men were alike. She treated every man she knew with contempt until she met a man whom she loved so dearly. But, the man she loved was an enemy to her mother. But soon, she realized her mother was the enemy. Not to forget that this man was severely tortured by her mother
Meagan's POV(…under the full moon)“I've just two questions for you. Firstly, how did you find out about my weakness to human blood? Secondly, how did you find your way into my room that night? You've two minutes to respond,” Jason raged as red spark flew across his watery eyes Meagan was confused. She had no idea of what he accused her of. “Don't give me that innocent look. It's the same crime you're been punished for. I want to know the others involved. You couldn't have done it alone and I'll make sure everyone involved is brought to book. So, start talking.““I was never in your room and I know nothing of your weakness.”“The CCTV coverage found you on the corridor that night. It's pointless to lie to cover up for anyone or do you want to suffer alone? Speak!“Meagan realized she was framed for a different offense she never committed. “I didn't enter your room that night. It was the kitchen. I don't know anything about it.“Jason gave her a long stare as though realizing a conn
Meagan's POV (…childhood crush turns mate) He paused abruptly on hearing her voice. “How did you know that?“ “I had a best friend when I was in the human community. We attended the same school until…” Meagan's words turned into a bitter wail as she remembered how much she had suffered for years. “It's nothing. Life has never been fair to my family,” she concluded as she gulped down the few drops of water she had for the day. “Meagan?“ the man called out as he wore a confused look approaching her slowly. They both held their gaze on eachother as they realized the truth. “Is this really you?“ He squatted in front of her as they both gaped at each other. “How did you get here? How long have you worked with the Alpha?“ She asked as they collapsed into a hug. “Goodness! Meagan. It's hard to believe. You disappeared for a long time without notice only to find you in this condition? How did it happen?" "it's a long sad story, Ray. I don't wanna talk about it" "I can't watch you
Meagan's POV(…Trix reacts)She instinctively looked around her. Jason was truly nowhere to be found. How did the Alpha find out? she asked herself as she made sure there were no traces on the night of her escapade. At first, Meagan tried to comfort herself as she knew it had been impossible for the Alpha to terminate her life because of her powers which Larry attested to. “I kept you alive to breed my pack but you don't deserve to live. You're just like your kind. I should have known better then to keep you alive.“ “Are you just going to sit there without taking actions? If Jason is Ill then the potion Larry talked about is working,” Trix remarked violently as Meagan bowed still, dreading the Alpha's next move. “He can't hurt you, remember? This might be your only chance to get him out of the way and allow the kingdom bow to a new alpha. Do it, Meagan,” Trix ordered as she began to stir her up while the Alpha continued a show of emotional outburst. “Remember Larry said the action de
