"I don't get it. How is it that Freya has three alphas as her mates, and none of them has ever tried to mark her?" Landon asked as Steele pulled into a driveway."There's one of them in front of you. Ask him," Nebra spat out and alighted from the car."You refused to let me end my story, so you have no idea why he didn't make a move on her. I, on the other hand, know exactly why. So I guess I'm just going to wait for the other two," he shrugged and alighted from the car as well."I find it unfair werewolves and vampires get chased around by humans while witches live amongst them with no worries," Nebra scoffed as she stared at the duplex in front of her.Landon was about to take a step forward when he frowned and looked around. "Is this a friend of yours or a foe?""Neither," Steele replied.Nebra also frowned, smelling something in the air. "Say, would he try to kill you or anyone in general for trespassing?"Their ears caught the sound of something, and they quickly moved out of the
Nebra subconsciously stepped backward and frowned. "Oh, damn it!""I did anticipate your next move. I just didn't know Steele Lockwood would visit the man whose parents he killed. So I apologize for not getting here sooner." Hazel apologized blandly. She left her bloodshot eyes open as she stared at them."And I thought I should let you live a few more hours. How sad you came looking for your death." Nebra scoffed, her eyes downcast.She was an alpha, which meant she was used to sending chills down the spine of others. She rarely felt fear from other alphas except a selected few. But even when she did, it never made her want to run away like the way she was feeling now.Pike was right. Hazel became stronger. She even had the whole room engulfed in a suppressing cold aura. Fighting her was suicide."Is that fear I see in your eyes? Who would've thought Nebra Vause, the rogue alpha, would be afraid of me." Hazel laughed mockingly, covering half of her face with her palm."Afraid of you?
"What do you mean by that?" Cheyenne didn't delay in blocking Hazel's path.Hazel slipped a hand out of her pocket and towards Cheyenne. "Get out of my way!""I'm not in any position to ask you why you plan to kill the girl, but I really need you to tell me what's going on." Jerome butted in with a tight frown."What is going on is that I need Nebra Vause to come to me. To take me seriously! I spent hours searching for them, and when I finally found them, someone snatched them right from under my nose." Hazel replied, her hand still outstretched towards Cheyenne."I don't know what you're talking about, or what this Nebra did to you, but she's clearly the one you should be facing right now, not Freya!" Cheyenne refuted adamantly.Hazel pressed her lips together tightly. "Jerome, get your daughter out of my way before I kill her."Jerome glanced at one of his men who was the closest to Cheyenne. Before she could grasp what was going on, the man carried her out of the way."I understand
"How do you know so much and have such a good eye?" Knight raised a questioning brow."My mother's tribe had eyes for identifying anything magic. Because of that, they spent months trying to learn about anything abnormal," Nebra responded, her eyes still pinned on the house more than a hundred meters away."In other words, they are adventurous. Nebra got that trait too. The main reason why she couldn't sit still in the Council and chose to become a rogue instead," Landon added, walking up to them."Can we please talk about the important matter here?" Hunter frowned, and everyone turned around to look at him."Knight and I have spent the last few months trying to keep rogues from attacking weaker packs, securing the forests for fellow werewolves, and most importantly, trying to track down the new menace who's taking packs by force and merging it into his own. We never once encountered any heartstealer. So how the hell do we have three in this estate?""I think what Hunter is trying to
"A freaking alpha. Meaning you must be very strong. Let's fight," Jason cackled, halting his movement.But the smile on his face faded upon seeing four other alphas emerge behind her."Five alphas Vs. two heart stealers. We're outnumbered," Daniel frowned.Steele's eyes settled on the familiar figure on Daniel's shoulder, and his anger surged. "What did you do to her?""Such concern. I take it you're one of her alpha mates," Daniel raised a brow and stepped backward.After more than thirty minutes of exchanging spells with Hazel, he knew he didn't have enough magic to engage in a fight with an alpha."Let's get out of here, Jason!" He turned and bolted towards the door.Hunter, Steele, and Knight gave chase while Nebra and Landon walked towards Hazel."How surprising. Being saved by the person I've been meaning to kill. Are you sure you won't regret this?" Hazel wheezed, locking eyes with Nebra."I'm going to nurse you back to health, then I'll kill you myself. Don't think I'm being k
"That can't happen. Rose will go berserk if anything happens to her mate," Nebra stepped forward."I'm sorry, but Cheyenne isn't dying either. Besides, if Sarah Bennett accepted to kill someone else, then she should be ready to die too," Landon stated and turned his attention to her."Didn't you hear him, or are you trying to say you're stupid? She only accepted to kill Cheyenne because that was the only option Lance Nichols offered her in exchange for her freedom." A deep frown settled on Nebra's face as she met his eyes."I know, that's why I said she should be ready to die since she accepted to kill someone else. Or don't you think that's just natural karma?" Landon raised a provocative brow as well.Knight rubbed the space in-between his brows awkwardly."It's embarrassing to see two alphas squabbling over who should die and who shouldn't while they do nothing to prevent it. So can you two snap out of it?""Who would've thought the rumors were true?" Knight chuckled.Steele just l
19 Years Ago Young Hazel opened the door to the house to see the house full. It was buzzing with familiar faces which all belonged to her relatives. Surprisingly, no one seemed to notice her presence as she walked around. She found her way to the living room where she found her father and twin brother seated next to each other, all smiles. "Today will be a memorable day for our family. All thanks to my son and, of course, my daughter." Finn Hunt cheered, raising his glass of champagne and clinking it with Hezell's. "It's all thanks to you, father. If you hadn't found a way to contact Braeden Vause and talk him into doing this, none of this would've been possible. It's all thanks to you, dad." Hezell replied humbly and drowned his champagne. Finn Hunt smiled proudly and drowned his glass as well. As he dropped the empty glass on the table, his eyes happened to meet that of his daughter's. "Hazel, I didn't know you were back." He called out, causing everyone's attention to dart to
Cheyenne paced to and fro worriedly in her room.Her father left a few minutes ago after locking her in this room. It was a room with high windows, making it impossible for her to escape through them.But even if she did get to the window, from where she stood, she could see the steel bars fastened to the window. There was no way she could push that down.She got tired of walking around and slumped on her bed with a sullen face."Ma'am, your food." A maid's voice sounded outside the door.Cheyenne's eyes lit up, seeing it as an opportunity to escape. So she got up and quickly turned her back to the door."Take the food away," she said, tilting her head to the side, enabling her to see the maid's every move.However, as the maid turned around to leave, she suddenly fell to the side to reveal someone else standing in front of her.Cheyenne turned and staggered backward, seeing an unfamiliar face."Cheyenne Nichols, was it? You're beautiful, and I have nothing against you. But for my fre
