Arielle’s POV:This was a turn I never expected my week to take.“I’ll come by later to check that arm of yours,” I told the young man who could not be older than 18, and who stared at mestonily.I ignored it and simply packed up mymedical kit to move on to the next patient. I was in a house full of Rogues after all. It wasnot surprising that I would not be trusted. If a Rogue was suddenly in my pack, I certainly would not trust them either, even if they were helpful tome.I was still deep in thought as I began to unwrap the bandages of the next injured Rogue - a dark haired woman.I had not expected to see Leon. I don’t know why I had not - he was a Rogue, after all, and we were in this mission specifically to rescue and treat our injured members who were attacked by Rogues.But I really had not expected to see him. This occurrence had now welled up some feelings inside me. The feeling at the forefront for me was confusion.Why was I confused?It was because of Leon. I still reme
Chapter 18: Leon’s Ultimatum Leon’s POV: I had not expected things to be this difficult with her. It was somehow shocking to me, and her actions were one that I could simply not understand, for the life of me. Perhaps it was because we had not seen each other in so long, but i found myself wondering if i had made a bad first impression after so many years apart. This was simply due to the fact that Arielle somehow had managed to evade me for a full day and I was then getting antsy by the time that I found her returning to her room that afternoon. I could not stop thinking about her- her enchanting blue eyes, her copper red locks that framed her face so perfectly and flowed like a halo whenever the sun hit it just right, her pouty pink lips. How could i stop thinking about this girl? It was impossible, and i knew it, and i found myself being carried along by the current of her aura, of who she was to me - my mate. I had numerous memories flying though my head and invading my thought
Arielle’s POV:I woke up from the short nap I had taken, and now, the sun had finally set. Day one had passed, I thought with a relieved sigh. I could not wait to be out of here, and I never thought I would miss my pack so much.Before I even left the bed, I sat up, deep in thought. I was still reeling from the events of the entire day, ever since I had gone with the Rogues to treat their injured members. And Leon. I was still in shock over everything it seemed, because why else would I feel this way about Leon?I did not love him anymore. I was sure of it now, more than ever. I had no idea how it happened, or what was the tipping point for me. I looked down on my hand, right where I had gotten the scratch as he had been violent with me when we met at the hallway.I was beginning to regret ever agreeing to come here. Despite everything though, I knew that I would make the decision all over again if it meant that Beta Darren could take the rescued pack members home. At least, they were
Esme Talks Sense Into RichardRichard’s POV:I shut the last file on my desk, and then brought my hand up to rub my eyes. The sun had already gone down. It had been a long time since I had this much time to work in peace - Darren’s absence could be like that sometimes. Now that he was on the mission - this was the second day now - I had no one to talk to, so I was able to focus more on my work and get everything done. The upside of this was that I would probably manage to get a full night’s sleep.Slowly standing up, I felt blood rush to my legs, and I raised my hands above my head. The sound of my joints popping as I stretched, brought a wave of relief to my body. I had been sitting down almost the entire day, and had not even gotten up since 12pm.I had forgotten to even eat, as I was so busy with the work leftover from the previous day. It had been a busy day for me, which I could not be so upset by.Shaking my head at the
The Rescue Team ReturnsRichard’s POV:It was a new day, and the sun was just rising when I finally got up from bed. Since I had gotten up at a ‘healthy time’ as Darren would call it, I decided to go for a run through the forest, to clear my head and as my usual form of exercise.Therefore, I put on my sweatpants and hoodie, and my most used pair of trainers, to go outside. The scent of the outside at the peak of dawn was always the most interesting, and I took in a deep breath before beginning my morning run outside.The run through the forest was exhilarating, and I deeply enjoyed it. My senses were alert as I rushed through with a speed most people would not be able to match, past the large and tall trees, deeper and deeper into the forest where most people would not be. I did not want to be seen that very moment, only to see where the run would take me. When I stopped, I was able to take in deep breaths to calm my racing hear
Leon Confronts Ethan (Day 2 begins)Leon’s POV:What in the hell had I just done?I looked down at my naked body with the unmistakable feeling of disgust running through me. I had just woken up, right as the dawn broke. Today was day 2 of Arielle’s permitted stay here, and what was I doing, but making a waste out of everything?Meera breathed deeply in her sleep, and I scoffed at her, shaking my head and willing myself to not go and wake her up roughly. I took in deep breaths to calm her, and looked away, prowling to my bathroom in the dim light of the sun just rising through my windows. I needed to wash up quickly and get Meera’s filth off of me.Without any further delays, I entered the bathroom, hopping right under the shower. I turned the water up to a high heat until it was scalding and felt like it was bruning my flesh, before I picked up my soap and body sponge to wish myself of the events of the previous night.As I did
Arielle's DecisionArielle’s POV:I did not want to hear whatever he had just said to Ethan, but it was hard not to listen in.Being a doctor has taught me many things, after all. And in my few years of practice, I have been able to find that it was a common way for doctors and nurses to keep their senses alert in order to be aware of what their patients might be doing in the next room or something. Unfortunately, while I had developed my senses as a wolf to serve my medical responsibilities to my patients, it also left me with a strange inability to stop myself from picking out certain things, like private conversions held within a radius of where I was.So, when I heard Ethan leave, my mind was wandering as I thought.What had Leon told Ethan to do that he had disobeyed? Or is it that Leon was simply acting out as usual? I did not know what to think, but to me, one thing was definitely certain and that was that Leon had overreac
Arielle’s POV:The silence stretched on for more than I could bear to understand, and when I found that Leon still was not speaking, I decided to call it, and turned away to walk back to my allocated room.But then, Leon stopped me in my tracks.“Where are you going?” he asked me, and i heard his footsteps behind me.Stopping my movements and sighing under my breath, I turned to look at him over my shoulder.“I’m going to rest. It’s been a day, and my work here is almost finished,” pausing to gauge his still stony expression, i then continued, “Besides, I do have to pack my things since I will be leaving after tomorrow.”Immediately after I said that, he shot back, “Not yet, Arielle. Not until after we talk this out.”Oh great moon goddess. I threw my hands up in frustration, because now I certainly had it with Leon.Now I was not willing to believe that this infuriating man was that dumb as to not understand every word of what I had just said. No, instead of addressing it like a norm
KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he
Hello everyone; I hope this meets us well. Just wanted to say my new book would be out tomorrow and the title is; Two Alphas, One Mate! but I'll be posting the peak of the chapter one here, please read it, support it.

Thank you so much for always being there for me. It might be slow, not fast paced like any other books but I assure you, it's very good. CHAPTER ONE A knock on the door disrupted her sleep, causing her brows to crease as she rolled to the other side of the bed. She scrunched her eyes up, trying to get back to her sleep when another series of knocking came after. “Hmm.” She groaned out, her hand fumbling on the bed as she reached for the blanket, throwing it over herself and acting cozy inside of it. “You have to open the door princess,” she heard her maid say from the door, causing the frown on her face to deepen.
Richard’s POV:This is how it ends.I transformed back to my human form, my chest bare.I looked around me, watching the Rogues being tied down around me. The death of Leon had caused an immediate and drastic drop in morale. The Rogues didn’t fight anymore, allowing themselves to be chained.Among them, were the Evans family too. They had been brought out by the warriors as per my orders.The night was still as I stood in the center of such chaos.I never knew silence could be quite this deafening.“The battle is over,” I said, looking around me with steely eyes to my tired warriors, but still victorious. I felt satisfaction in seeing all the familiar faces around me. Not many of them fell, to my joy. “We will dispose of the traitors today and rebuild our pack. This victory isn’t anything but a symbol of our strength, and our unity. For in our unity,” I rolled my shoulders back and raised my voice even louder. “We will never fall.”The cheers of my warriors were enough to dare me, and
“No! No! Father, you can’t do this to me! You can’t do this!” A tiny voice cried out, her voice echoing through the four corners of the room.“Stand up!” A loud voice boomed through her ears and ran through her body, causing her to hold her tears.He stood up from his throne, all tall and authoritative. The royal staff in his hand touched the ground and silenced everyone in the room. He studied his steps casually, walking towards her and sending streams of shivers down her spine.“Stand up!” He ordered.She didn’t need to be told twice. She scrambled up immediately, balancing her feet and lowering her head to the ground. He raised his hand to her, and she recoiled at the thought of him hitting her head, “Stacey, you’re nothing but a weak wolf. And your presence in this pack is not needed. I regret the day I gave birth to you. And today is one of my happiest days in this pack, to finally see that you have a use for me.” He said without mercy.She clenched her fist so hard her nails pie

Arielle’s POV:I felt so helpless, slowly walking towards the nearest safe house and holding a slowly bleeding Darren.The unconscious Beta groaned out loud and i bit my lip, looking down at him and adjusting my sweaty grip on him.“Don’t worry, Darren,” I said, feeling somewhat crazy to be speaking to an unconscious man. “I’ll get you help. You’re going to be fine,” my voice broke.Tears came to my eyes as I continued to step forward. Just one step forward I told myself.Oh great goddess, please help me. A tear slipped down my cheek as I thought of what Lilian would say to me if she saw her mate like this. I couldn’t do this to her. Please Darren be alright, i pleaded in my mind.“Arielle?” It was Ethan@/ voice that made me look up. Our eyes met and I felt small as he ran over to me, his own eyes wide with shock. “What happened to him?”“What do you think?” My voice sounded bitter and rough as I responded. Guilt and remorse filled my body all of a sudden as I saw Ethan look down. “I’
Richard’s POV:I was running with fury at the forefront of my mind.I was such an idiot. I had made so much mistakes in the past few days.Now I had made the worst mistake.I had left my pack alone, at such an important time. Now they were being attacked.“Two of you go to the west gate and see what’s happening,” I ordered two of the swiftest warriors in my team.They nodded in unison and were off. We kept on going on our journey, and I began to feel dizzy for a second.At once I felt a burning sensation in my throat, as well as a sting on my arm. Then, a slash at my throat. My hands flew to check my Throat and found it unblemished.I was feeling the pain from my pack members.‘and it was a lot. I know fact, it was too much.I groaned out loud, trying to not let my sounds of pain get heard by anyone. I needed to get to the pack immediately.I could only hope that Darren had managed to stave off the worst of the attack I now knew that Leon was behind.Saying a small prayer to the moon g
Arielle’s POV:My heart was pounding as I said those words to my mate. In my mind it was like the world had come down on me. The alarm bells blares in my ears like a war gong, and I was left feeling helpless and lost.In reality, I was still in my office, with Meera looking meekly away from the glares of either myself or Ethan.Richard’s words came through the mind link that we shared.‘What’s going on, love? And I’m on my way. It was a trap,’ he sounded regretful, and there was a tinge of disgust punctuating his words. What had happened to make him sound like that?‘A trap?’ So this had all been planned.‘Elise and Hunter are working with the Rogues. They’re working with Leon. I think he may be on his way there now,’ he sounded like he was running while he spoke.I swallowed, the anxiety coming back in droves. Oh great goddess.In a shaky tone I replied to my mate, ‘I think he’s here right now. The alarm bells have been going off for nearly thirty minutes now.’ I paused. ‘What should
Richard’s POV:We made our way through the shortcut that Falcon had proposed.Darren and I had quickly met with him when the team was put together, and we had decided that we would be taking that route. I didn’t think that it was certainly a trap or anything but it didn’t hurt to be prepared and use the element of surprise on our side.However much I wanted to believe that things would go smoothly with Elise and Hunter, some part of me knew that it was somehow doomed from the start. Of course I couldn’t just come out and say thy to everyone, so I kept silent. I think it was my serious expression that gave away that I was brooding, for none of my men spoke to me or questioned me at any point in time.Luckily for us that was what saved us. We were near the presumed location of Elise and Hunter and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.I heard a twig snap and my ears picked up at the sound of it. Someone was in front of us.“Stop,” I called out. Everyone of my warriors fell silent imm
