BETA DANIEL cocked his head to one side, unfazed by his Alpha's threat because he had heard it all before. "Hahaha! Your father is on the council," Beta Daniel hissed in agony, "How do you think he is going to vote when he hears that his only son has fallen for a rogue?" His upper lip curled into a sinister snarl. "My father ought to know better than to reign with a corrupt heart. Mira will have the support of my pack because they can see that she has a kind heart and was only a rogue. After all, her father took additional care to protect his only daughter. Once he discovers her ancestry -" "He won't care!" Beta Daniel cut him off, "He will see this as his moment and use it to his advantage to cause you heartache, just like you have done him all these years... and I can not wait to see the look on that little bitches face when she learns her fate." Beta Daniel had a strong intuition that the trial would end in death, and if Mira is indeed Alpha Bastion's mate, he was looking forwa
Mira lurched forward as the Alpha King stumbled back from the steel-rodded door with the syringe still embedded in the crook of his neck. He collapsed to the ground, yanking the syringe out as he examined the odd-looking object before he tossed it onto the cold ground beside him. "What did you stick him with?!" Mira cried out as she lowered herself onto her knees and tried to help Zeb stay awake. "Just a tranquillizer," Lennox hummed as he watched the Alpha King fall to the ground with great enthusiasm. "Why would you do such a thing?!" She yelled at him with wide eyes. "Because my pack has suffered enough from the second he arrived. Death, confusion, despair. It's all there swirling in the back of their minds as they continue to mourn from last night's blood bath." Mira rose to her feet and she glared at Lennox through the thin slits of her eyes, "He is to stand trial... You did this so he won't be coherent enough to answer the council's questions, didn't you?" She hissed as
As Mira and the Alpha King walked through Maves front door and into the living room. They were greeted by Mave, Clohe and to her surprise, Alpha Bastion. "Bastion?" She whispered as his gaze met hers. He nodded his head with a lopsided smirk on his face and approached her closing the distance between them like a wildfire losing control. "Did they cause you any harm?" He asked her as he cupped her face in his hands. She shook her head, "No, not to me anyway."His brows furrowed as he waited for her to explain."We had the pleasure of meeting your father, Lennox, and he stuck Zeb with a tranquillizer."Alpha Bastion looked at the Alpha King, "My father is known to be a cruel bastard and will stoop to any level to get what he wants." He growled as he lowered his hands to his sides."It barely lasted a whole minute before I bounced back up." The Alpha King replied in a deep voice that had Clohe nibbling on her lower lip. "I'm just glad that you both made it out alive," Clohe said in a
Mira stepped forward and placed a gentle hand on Alpha Bastions' shoulder as a gesture of comfort.She too found the truth hard to digest as Mave explained her prior actions. She found it hard to believe that the fragile-looking woman standing before her, killed her own brother; her twin and a former Alpha."You mean to tell me that my father, Lennox, is not my biological father? He is my brother?" As the words left his mouth, he felt sick to his stomach.He was barely keeping it together as he desired nothing more than to tear Maves' head off in retaliation.He was the product of rape and his mother's suicide had everything to do with him.Not his father as he had predicted. His body became painfully rigid as he pondered his mother, considering how ill he must have made her feel every time she looked at him, and he questioned whether she had ever genuinely loved him."My dear child..." Mave whispered with much distress. "I can not tell you that Lennox is not your father because I
"Can we rest here for the night?" Clohe whined as she rubbed her left temple. "I still feel fatigued like there is a dark cloud hovering over me." She confessed with apprehension as her blood thrummed through her veins.Mira stopped in her tracks, she spun around and approached Clohe with a concerned look on her face.As she reached Clohes' side, she tilted her head back and marvelled at the beautiful colours splashed across the horizon. She sucked in a lungful of fresh air as the light breeze whipped around them."We will camp here for the night," She said as she lowered her head and looked at Clohe. Mira knew it would take them at least three days to walk to Snow Valley Pack. But she, too, became exhausted as she discreetly drew from her source of energy to conceal their scent in the hopes of preventing the councils' tracking wolves from locating them."I will stand guard for the first half of the night," The Alpha King suggested. "You're not tired?' Mira asked as she knew he hadn
The sun had already set, and dusk settled upon the woods. A small bonfire was dancing in front of Mira and Clohe as they huddled together. The air was warm but for some odd reason, they both could not stop the shiver that was creeping up their spines. "I wonder where Alpha Bastion has taken off to. It has been a little over three hours now." Clohe hummed through the night. Mira turned her head to look back in the direction that Alpha Bastion had taken off in. She too was wondering where he had taken off to and if he was okay. She also couldn't shake the feeling that she was being called to venture through the woods. "I just hope that he is truly okay and has not gotten himself into any difficulty. After Maves' revelation about his family, he has a lot to sort through." Mira answered as she turned back around to look at Clohe. Clohe stretched her arms above her head as she let out a big yawn. "I'm going to hit the hay." She muttered tiredly as she got to her feet and peered down
Mira laced her fingers with Alpha Bastion when the coast was clear.She peered up at him."Thank you for coming to my aid," She said feeling a tad bit weak. Alpha Bastion tilted his head, he rested his chin on his shoulder as he stared down at her with his chest rising and falling vigorously."I was about, oh..." Mira cried out as Alpha Bastion bent down and picked her up bridal style. "You should not have wandered into the woods on your own," He growled at her as he started to walk back toward their campsite."I could hear a voice calling out to me and I got curious.""Have you not heard the term; curiosity killed the cat?" His words felt like silk stroking her delicate skin as he murmured them.Her breath hitched in her throat as she rubbed the side of her face across his bare chest, and she quickly found herself drowning in his delectable scent.Slowly tracing the curves and dips of his chest with her fingers, she locked them around his neck. She could feel her temperature rising
"I love the way you say my name as you come, squeezing my dick tighter than a goddamn vice," Alpha Bastion grumbled against the soft, heated flesh of Miras' neck. Sweat glistened their bodies and he stuck his tongue out, lapping the sweat perspire that tasted sweet with a hint of saltiness. "I can't believe I lost my virginity to you. My father...""Is gone, my love. It is just us now, and I promise to help you find out the truth behind his death." "I never got the chance to give him a proper send-off. He wanted to be burned and because I let my emotions get the better of me, I torched his body. Siren and the council..." She began to confide in him knowing that she was able to trust him with her darkest, deepest secrets and desires. The line between them was no longer blurred. He soothed the scorching flames in her belly which no longer burned and he coaxed feelings out of her that she didnt know existed. She was young and gullible, but she most certainly wasn't stupid. "They wi
I closed the door to the kids' room after making sure that they were sound asleep. It didn't take very long for them to dose off as it had been a long day in the sun, and an even longer night with the activities that had been organised. I slowly crept away from their room and went to find Bastion in his makeshift office.I entered without knocking knowing that he could sense me before he saw me. He was staring out the window with his hands tucked inside his pockets, he turned around to face me as I locked the door with a soft click sweeping through the office, and I made my way to the sofa. "Have you come for a tour?" He asked acidly as he arched his brows and I started to laugh. "I'm glad you find it fucking funny!" He walked towards me. "You know what Elsa says: Let it go," I say referring to the Frozen movie as I roll my eyes heavenward and stand up.Our gazes collided, mine was full of laughter, his was blazing with anger, and his gaze stripped me bare as his scent assaulted my
MIRAS POINT OF VIEW...The moon shone brilliantly casting its silver rays on the sea as its waves crashed against the shoreline. My gaze trailed up to the horizon to see a flock of seagulls flying in the air above us. I didn't need to see them in my dreams to realise how rich I am at heart. Their violent caws resonated through the atmosphere, making their presence known.I felt the light air dance upon my skin and sweep through my hair as I dug my toes into the cool sand, feeling the grains beneath my feet. It was almost therapeutic in an odd way.Tonight wasn't particularly quiet as there was a bonfire at the beach resort we had hired out for our pack getaway. It was an avenue for everyone to socialize and get away for a bit to simply relax and enjoy the sun. "You know, I told Zeb that I thought it would be a great idea if you all come to Morzovia during the xmas break," Clohe said as she sat next to me and rubbed her ballooning belly. "Earth is great, but it is nothing like Morzovi
It has been five weeks since the war that happened with Midnight Pack, Cloves sacrifice and the sudden birth of Alpha Bastion and Alpha Miras' pup. Mira had spent the first week locked up in their room grieving. She would only come out to eat after Alpha Bastion insisted that she join their combining packs for dinner. She needed to eat so she could breastfeed their pup.At one point, she thought she was slipping into a state of depression, everytime she looked at her daughter whom they named, Emara, she felt absolutely nothing towards her. Not an ounce of love or disdain caressed her heart and she started to question herself if she was broken inside. In less than a year, she had lost both of her parents and found herself along the way and establish a family that she loved to bits. One day three weeks ago, she got out of bed early, had a shower, bathed Emara, wrapped her little bundle of joy up in a blanket, and took her sightseeing around their territory. The spring breeze swept a
After Mira had pushed out the placenta, Clove took the liberty to cut the umbilical cord herself. She looked at both Mira and Alpha Bastion.They were both distraught, dealing with their emotions differently. Mira sat on the bed, covered in sweat and she stared straight ahead with a blank look on her face. Alpha Bastion, stared at his lifeless pup in utter shock, his eyes glowed with glassy crimson rings. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it as he couldn't find the right words to say how he was feeling. But he did know that a large part of his heart shrivelled up and died. What was supposed to be a joyous moment, wasn't. He felt lost and blamed himself for not making sure the river was guarded every night since Daniel was exiled. But he wasn't to know that Daniel would become allies with Siren and her pack of bloodthirsty leeches, who then would cross the river and turn his life upside down! The smell of death hung heavy not only in the room but within Pack M
She watched as he ran as fast as he could through the wet meadow with her daughter and granddaughter in his arms. Those who rushed toward them, she flung across the meadow with a flick of her wrist. "Siren is dead." She hummed in a sing-song voice as she targeted her voice toward the Midnight Pack Warriors who refused to surrender. "The Corbette twins are dead too. If you want to live, I suggest you leave Pack Moon Stone immediately without a second glance or you will suffer miserably," She warned them in a foreboding tone that felt like a dozen needles piercing their eardrums.Almost abruptly, those that had shifted into their wolf form waited for the ones that were still in their human form to jump on their backs, and they ran through the wall of trees that led them back to the river they crossed. In the distance, she could hear her daughter writhing, panting and groaning in agony. She placed a trembling hand over her chest and looked up at the heavens where the Moon still sat hig
"NO!!!!" Jagger growled as he rushed toward Mira and he stepped in front of her.He used his body to shield hers and by doing so, Tober drove the blade of the sword through his back where it pierced his lung.Mira watched in shock as Tober withdrew the sword, blood splattered across her face and she caught Jagger in her arms, slowly collapsing onto the grass with him. "Why?" She asked him in a hushed tone that was filled with uncertainty. Jagger coughed, he lifted his hand to wipe the specks of blood that stained her brow away, and he managed to form a smile on one corner of his mouth."Because you don't deserve to die," he gasped for air. "You and your father... me and Tober... bad blood, innocence... I didn't know... You deserve to be happy," he breathed out erratically.Tears welled up in Miras' eyes. She knew there was a reason why she liked him, his soul was gentle but it was the kindness in his eyes every time they collided with hers that allowed her to let her guard down aro
Mira had intended to run to her mother's aid first. But as she saw Tober rushing toward her, she decided to stare death in the eye and she charged at him with the whip sword raised high above her head. A forbidding laugh departed her lips as he shifted into his wolf. If he thought that she would retreat, he was dead wrong. She had something to prove to him and his mother Siren. The timid rogue they once knew, no longer lives inside her like the intruder that it was. She screamed, bringing the sword down, Tober's wolf, Ink, leapt to the side, and he started to run circles around her. Mira stood tall, she widened her stance and kept her head facing forward. The tip of the sword was buried in the moist soil that was flooded with blood and rain. "I know you and your horrid mother sent a bounty after me. It must have pissed you both off to know that even a trained assassin failed to take my life." She breathed out as she closed her eyes and focused on his footsteps. "You failed. How
Mira groaned as pain dispersed across her cheek. She shook her head, gasping for air as Daniel wrapped his fingers around her neck and he started to squeeze them; cutting off her air supply.In a state of panic, she swung her arm, hitting him across the head with the handle of the whip sword. "Argh, fuck!" He groaned, releasing her as he touched the back of his head. She raised her leg in the air, twisted her body to the side and she pushed him off her before she got to her feet.Shaking her head, she staggered back a few steps and she saw Daniel rushing toward her once again, with a dangerous glint of murder pooling in his eyes. She swung the sword above her head, pressing the button on the leather-cladded handle which unleashed the whip, and she wrapped it around his neck. She pressed the button on the handle once again and the whip started to twist, it tightened around his neck until his head fell off. Blood spurted from his neck as his head rolled across the meadow. Dry reachi
Five months later...It had been five months since Beta Daniel had been stripped of his status and exiled from Pack Moon Stone.Gamma Marcus had carried out Alpha Bastions' orders, he had kept Daniel tied to the pole in the middle of the town for three days and out of spite, Mave made it rain with hail stones.They were the same-sized rocks she had seen in her vision of him striking Jenson with, and when they hit the ground next to him, they shattered like glass shards, slicing his flesh wide open. Each night, the Alpha King would heal him just so Mave could make him suffer again. Once the three days and nights were over, Gamma Marcus took it upon himself to recruit his five largest warriors, and they chased him out of Pack Moon Stone to the river that led to Midnight Packs territory.He was their problem now, and whatever they decided to do with him had nothing to do with Pack Moon Stone.So they had thought...Mira had rolled over onto her side, she reached for Bastion but was met
