When I looked at the woman sitting on the throne, she was a proud woman with menacing eyes, something I didn’t recognize when she first talked to me. Her shoulders were slender, filled with golds and gems that couldn’t be found in this world. Her aura oozed with power. She was too beautiful and if she was like me, alphas from all over the world would come and ask for her hand. I expected that she was a woman with a wisdom and a loving mother but she’s not.A judge with fur looked at the man in front of him, chained just like me. He was looking Caspian in familiarity with a sympathetic look. "Can you confirm that you were the old Caspian who the other Judge described?" He questioned. "Yes I am." He said."How would you describe your relationship with the Goddess?" He questioned again.Caspian's face showed a proud smile. "I had served her with all my heart. But I lost hope when she decided to start something that was long buried in our memories. I respected her, yes, but she’s no
“Remember, don’t you ever try to take this ring off of you. The master told us that it’ll help you conceal your power amd your wolf. Walk straight do not enter any pack or they’ll treat you a feral,” Kiba told me as she was bleeding u stop. Roka told me Sabrina attacked them with a claw laced with poison. As their master’s last request from them was to help me escape. Both of them were bleeding furiously. I wanted to help them but declined my offer. “Use your strength to go back to the Rogue King as soon as possible before they find you,” Roka told me. “Now hurry, leave us. The wolves might have smelled our blood. You need to leave before they arrive,” Kiba added. “Remember, do not come back to Axel’s pack. The only one who can save you is the Rogue King.” That was a few days ago. I’m not sure if they survive but I wish the enemies didn’t find them. I didn’t have any choice but to leave or I'd die and their sacrifice would be in vain. Even though I used to have a compa
The grey wolf’s chest was moving at a rapid pace as he stared down at the dead body. The way he was looking at it made my own body tremble. It wasn’t the look of surprise or horror like a new pup would have, but one of someone that had killed before. He looked proud. He turned his cold yellow eyes to me and I froze. Why had I insisted on watching this fight? Why hadn’t I ran when I had the chance? The air around us grew dense until it became hard for me to breathe. Was it my turn to die?He stared at me for a moment longer as if he was secretively throwing the fact that he had just killed in my face. Just when I thought he was finally going to snap and turn on me he did something completely unexpected. He turned around and walked away.At first all I could do was stare mindlessly back at his retreating hide thinking that maybe it was just a trick, that there was no way a killer wolf like him would leave an easy kill like me to just live! Then the grey wolf disappeared into the brush t
Kayah’s Point of ViewNo, there’s something wrong. Seven should recognize me but why does he act like he never knew me and even knew me?“That’s because the power of the ring hasn’t worn off yet. He couldn’t recognize us yet,” told me warily. Hesitantly, I rubbed my muzzle under his chin. The feeling of his skin touching my fur made me feel all tingly inside and when he lightly touched his hand to the side of my head the feeling spread. He pushed me away forcefully and stared sternly into my eyes.“Will you stop that?” His eyes flickered into something heated. Was he angry? “Just because I protected you from that other wolf doesn’t mean that I need to be thanked, so you can just take your cuddling to someone else.”Embarrassed by his comment I averted my eyes and looked down at the ground. Truthfully the thought of thanking him hadn’t even crossed my mind and now that he mentioned it I felt slightly ashamed. How rude I must seem to not have thanked him for saving my life. Instead I h
Kayah’s Point of viewMy blood was pounding in my ears and my legs sprung out in every direction jerking me to a stop on the hard black ground. The sounds and quick moving objects were so paralyzing that I didn’t even see the car heading straight for me. An ear cracking honk blasted over on my side and I whipped my head in its direction. I had to move. I knew I did but my body was too frozen in fear to do anything. Everything inside of me was screaming for me to do something…anything but all I could do was wait for the car to hit.At the last possible second however someone yanked me off of the road. I yelped at the pain of being grabbed by the fur but the sound didn’t even get the chance to escape my mouth. Strong arms wrapped themselves tightly around me as we fell back onto the sidewalk. Through a small gap I was able to watch as the red metal beast honked again before it sped away.My breathing was so labored that it made my entire body quake with each painful breath. My heart was
Kayah’s Point of ViewThe door creaked in an eerie way as it opened. His Majesty, Seven didn’t even look at me as he walked in and felt his hand around against the wall. He hit a switch and some of the lights flickered on while others stayed dead. The lights revealed a relatively small room with flaky white paint covering the walls and a large staircase.He turned and shut the door before he made his way up the stairs. I followed hesitantly behind him with my ears perked down at the change of scene. I had never been to a human den before and now I know the reason why. We went up a couple of levels before he put his keys into another door. He opened the door to reveal a large room with more bad lighting but unlike the other one it had stuff in it. The same flaky white paint still covered the walls but on that were some photos and shelves. The room had two worn green couches and a large square shiny box that was tucked away in the corner.“Stay here.”I twisted my head and watched as he
Kayah’s Point of View Seven’s face hardened. “Why do you know Seven? Seven died a long time ago. At least died inside. So I’d like you to call me Six. Died inside? What does he mean? “O-okay, Six. I’m sorry,” I said and gave him a gentle smile. Something in his eyes flickered and instinctively I took a step back. A growl worked its way up in his throat before he shot up off of the couch. I yelped as he pushed me down into a sitting position with his teeth bared. “Stop doing that!” My body was trembling under him so badly that his arms were shaking. “Doing what?” I asked innocently. His face instantly turned into a mask of pure rage and I suddenly found two very strong hands gripping onto my upper arms. “Acting all sweet and innocent one minute and then being scared and frightened the next!” I felt my eyes go wide. The grip he held on my arms tightened. I held back a whimper by biting the inside of my cheek. I don’t understand, I thought. If he didn’t want me
Suddenly Six was up off of the couch and walking over to the door that we had both used to come in. Before I could even ask him what was going on he had left slamming the door behind him. I could feel my back stiffen as the herd of footstep ran up the stairs. It was obvious that he didn’t want me around when he confronted those people and I knew that if they were a threat he would have no problem taking care of them but for some reason I couldn’t shake being worried. Slowly the feet stopped moving one by one and I was able to estimate just how many there were. Six. The hair on my neck stood up. Six to one, I didn’t like those odds one bit. I scooted over to the edge of the couch that he had occupied moments ago and stared intently at the door listening carefully for any signs of movement or conversation. Besides the creaking floorboards, loud footsteps, and my own heavy breathing I heard nothing. There was no immediate arguing or words exchanged, just an eerily silence. The more ti
“Hmm,” I heard a voice. “She’s in a state that my client wouldn’t like it, Luis,” I heard a voice. It was a male. I couldn’t see him because I was blindfolded. I sniffed him but he didn’t smell like a wolf. The scent was-“Stop sniffing, girl,” I heard the voice said, annoyed. “We were all wearing some perfume to mask our scent so stop doing it. It’s annoying.”And then I heard a laugh. “Oh, don’t mind her, Jim. Let’s just get down to business,” I heard Luis. “Alright. Three million dollars for her as we agreed upon.”“Yep,” Luis said.”“My client has deposited the exact amount now and I’m taking the merchandise to him. Kindly fill up this agreement to avoid unseen problem in the future,” “Alright.”I heard some scratching of pens. “There you go,” Luis said and probably looked at Brian who was holding me. “Take her to our client’s car.”Brian started to guide me. I tried to fight but he was too strong for me given he was an Alpha bloodline. “Don’t make this hard enough, Kayah. Ju
“Oh, you’ve been a bad bad girl, Kayah,” Luis smirked and then he signaled the three men to show me what would happen if I disobeyed him again. My bruised body now slumped, shackled to a chair. After they caught me trying to escape, the trio of men beat me senseless and tossed me into this room to waste away. I could still feel the sting of Brian’s fist smashing into my cheek and the blow of Luis’ boot driving into my gut. Clumps of brown hair had been ripped from my aching scalp, Bob was responsible for that. These men, these tormentors, did far worse than just hurt me. They claimed it was to teach me obedience. To crush my spirit. And they nearly did.“What happened to fresh, not scratched and in a good condition, Boss?” Nate asked when he entered the room again. “She’s a wolf. She can heal,” Luis rolled his eyes. “You really hate this woman a lot?” Nate asked. “Not her but her damn mate,” Luis replied. “Is it also tied to her?” “Whatever their problems were, I’m out of it. I’
The man with tousled brown hair and piercing forest-green eyes spoke from across the room. Though he didn’t raise his voice, his imposing presence made it feel like he was right beside me, shouting.“What did I say about talking back?” he growled, beginning to close the distance between us. Before he could get far, the second man extended an arm, halting him with a sharp, warning glance. He muttered something too quiet to catch, then slowly started toward me instead. His long black hair framed a pale, severe face, and his deep blue eyes locked onto mine with unsettling calm.“I suggest you listen to him, Kayah.” I winced hearing my name leave his lips. “You should understand something, we’ve planned this carefully. Your little help is gone, and no one will help you, let alone save you from your impending doom. No one’s coming for you. Which makes this very convenient for us. She told us that no one will care enough to look at you.”Now kneeling in front of me, he leaned in, grabbed m
As soon as the scream escaped my lips I knew that all hope was lost. “I heard her! This way!” With no other choice I stood up and ran out of the horrible room and I didn’t stop to look where I was going. I only looked up long enough to see the front door I had come through a foot away when strong and rough arms snatched my waist. I screamed once again as the arms took me away from my escape and hauled me to the room at the end of the hall. I fought and kicked with all my strength, grabbing and clawing whatever I could get my hands on. With each futile attempt the arms only grew tighter around me. A door was opened and I was shoved into the room I once heard the voices arguing from.With a gasp I took in the gruesome and horrifying scene in front of me.I landed head first after being thrown into the room. I gawked at the scene of terrors that lay in front of me. In front of me was a still and lifeless body. The last of the body's blood puddled around the girl as it leaked from the m
I woke up and felt everything was odd. The room was unusually quiet, so eerie.“Rache?” I called her name but no one was answering. Where the hell is she? I asked myself. I got up, made myself a coffee when I stopped my mug mid-air. Amidst the scent of coffee hitting my nose, I smell something but a scent. It was so strong that it actually overpowered the coffee’s scent. It was them. Damn it. “Rachel!” I screamed but no one answered. I didn't wait for her to answer. I grabbed my phone and ran through the door, looking for a fire exit. Even if the scent was still a mile away, I knew they would eventually catch up with me. So I better run and call Rachel when I think I’m safe. My lungs ached with the force I was putting on them. I never really ran. I wasn't out of shape, but I definitely wasn't athletic. Okay, I’m used to running, but not as urgent as this. I ran when I needed to chase a prey but not the other way around. The closer I drew to my destination the more I couldn't hel
Defeated, I started the journey back to our apartment. I knew she would show up eventually, just like every other time she left.Letting my mind wander, I turned the corners while walking back to our rented house. I passed street sign after street sign, worn down building after worn down building. The town was old and dusty to say the least. As I walked, I planned out what I would do for the rest of the day. The only thing that kept me going now was that I had to find my son and take him back with me. Time seemed to fly while I thought about the reason why I was away from my pack and to Seven, and after about twenty minutes of breathing in smoke and dirt-filled air, I arrived at the door to the apartment building.The apartment buildings we lived in strongly represented a motel and were the cheapest housing options around. I didn't particularly like it, but it was all we needed so no one would suspect me.Sighing, I walked up the concrete steps and opened the wooden door, only to rev
My pack has decided to end everything and take back what they used to own, their dignity, they castle. Seven his real reclaimed the name and that the Moon Goddess has crossed the line. “I know it’ll be dangerous, but this is for our son. I want him and neither would I give you to her,” I said when I’m done telling him Hailey was actually Lunar and that she tricked him. Seven was speechless when he heard it but it didn’t change the fact that she has our child. Seven took the alpha position and talked to the pack mate, the rogues who had been in the human settlement howl, ready to reclaim the throne and their home. “Are you sure about this Red?” I asked her to utter a spell, a spell that would prevent Lunar from tricking Seven again. Now that Red has become apparent, he told us he was actually ex-deity and used to side with Lunar back then. He admitted Lunar was delusional and told us about her tale, about her falling in love with Fenrir only to break her heart in the process. He
“Babe listen we-”“Kellan!’ I screamed.I searched the area. Nothing. No more scent trail. No sounds. Just that burning circle and silence.“Kellan!” I shouted again into the night. My voice echoed, bouncing back empty.I fell to my knees.My baby was gone. And not even the wind could tell me where.I pressed my hand to the grass where he’d been taken. It was still warm.My fingers tingle..Then, I heard something.A whisper. Soft. Like a breeze.“Kayah…”I looked up. The trees shifted slightly.Then it stopped.Six didn’t hear it. Only me.“Bitch,” I said and she just laughed. “You couldn’t have that’s you took me son?”No answer.I heard a chuckle like the bitch was amused. “You so Hailey,” Lunar said. “I don’t care about whatever image you took,” I said. “Seven and I had a history.”I swallowed hard. “Maybe it’s time for you to tell him about her.”“Shut up!” I screamed. “Ayah,” Six whispered. “Let's go back.”We returned to Maryan’s.Red was still breathing. Barely. His chest
I groaned. My arm reached out, fumbling across the floor until my fingers found the buzzing phone.The screen glowed in the dark.Maryan.I sat up straight. My heart was already racing.No one called at this hour unless it was bad.I answered. “Hello?”Her voice cracked. “Kayah… he’s gone.”“What?” My voice came out sharp, shaking. “Who?”“Kellan. They—they took him. I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop them. Red tried, he’s..he’s bleeding, bad.”My chest went tight. My hands started shaking.“Where are you?”“At my house. Hurry.”I didn’t waste a second.“Six! Get up!” I shouted, already pulling on pants and boots.He groaned. “Wh—what?”“They took our son.”That woke him up.He didn’t ask anything else. He was up, dressed, and running after me into the night.We drove to Maryan’s house. We needed to stay calm. Think. But I could feel the wolf under my skin. Angry. Pacing. Ready to rip the world apart.The night air was cold. Stars blinked above. The moon hid behind clouds.My feet hit the
