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
Arielle’s POV:I gaped at him after he growled out those words. Immediately after astonishment, I felt more anger than I have ever felt in my life at his statement.Take it back? Take my words back because he doesn’t like to hear the truth? Take my words back because it suits him and not me?Because he thinks that he should get a second chance, he dares to threaten me like this?“Who the hell Do you think you are?” I fired back at him, my wolf tearing its head within me. I felt the urge to slap him, hard. “Who the hell gave you the right to talk to me that way? And what makes you think your words even matter to me?” I raised a finger at him, pointing at his face. “I swear to you, Leon. Don’t you even dare to try me, or-““Or what? You’ll leave?!” He snarled back at me, and I blinked at him in shock as he began to chuckle. “Spoiler alert, love. You’re not going anywhere.”I was about to ask him what he meant by that, when all of a sudden he grabbed my arm, firmly, and pulled me.“What?
Richard’s POV:I opened my eyes and sat up simultaneously with a jolt.I don’t know what shocked me awake. But now I was staring at the wall of my bedroom, wondering what had happened. I wondered who had called my name, which I heard clear as day.It was the next day after Darren returned to the pack with the rest of the rescue team, save for Arielle. I could not stop thinking about her, and I had been restless since he gave me the horrible news that the Rogues now had her in their custody.After all, how could we trust that the Rogues, the same ones who captured and injured some members of my pac, would not do the same thing to Arielle?I had no reason to trust them, especially not the one who Darren called the leader - the one who had insisted on Arielle leaving with them in the first place.So I had worked throughout the night, unable to sleep, unable to eat dinner.I had, without myself even knowing, effectively starved myself because I was unable to stop thinking about Arielle an
Arielle’s POV:Day 3 dawned on me with the feeling of pain blooming in my chest, deeper than I had experienced it before.I hissed, opening my blearily eyes to the room that was now filled with sunlight streaming in from the windows. The room was nowhere unwitting prison, and an accomplice in Leon’s acts.I had not been able to sleep well, and I knew without looking in the mirror that my eyes were likely swollen and that the whites of my eyes were very red. I sniffled helplessly, raising myself from the carpeted floor where I had curled up on a fetal position to rest.The pack bond was hurting now more than ever, and I placed my hand over my chest, wishing that I could somehow find a way to ease the pain.It was too much. Everything - from Leon locking me up in here in a guise to keep me, to the loss I felt from not being around my pack, and the pack bond that hurt so damn much. I felt like I was unable to do anything, and the feeling of hopelessness was welled up inside of me.I had
Arielle's POVTo my despair, he shook his head resolutely.“I can’t help you, or talk to you in any way, Dr Grey. Leon was very clear about that,” he responded, sounding hollow.It was obvious that Leon had done something to him, making him less receptive to my pleas.But I blocked Ethan’s path, shaking my head at him.“You have to help me leave, Ethan. I should be with my pack, not here.”“You should be with your mate,” he replied, “Leon told me that you have a mate bond with him. Why do you want to run away?”I gaped at him.“I don’t- I...” I began to stammer, feeling my ire rise as I processed his words. Leon, again! “I don’t have a mate bond with him!” I exploded at Ethan, who looked stunned at me. “We dated a long time ago, and we did have a mate bond then... but he rejected me. I have moved on, Ethan. I just want to leave and get back to my pack, where I belong.” I clasped my hands together in front of him. “Please Ethan. You are the only one that can help me out right now.” I p
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. I assure you, it's going to be better than the first, and all my errors I have duly noted. I need your support, vote, comment, and everything you can do. 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
