Writer's PovFew minutes after Peniel left Melissa and Loganto get more informations on how to stop Logan's bleeding. Logan fell back asleep weakly still bleeding profusely. Melissa herself stared into space as she wondered what she had done, she had actually tried to kill her mate without knowing. What if Peniel wasnt there to help?Her only hope now was if peniel could get anything that could nullify the wolfsbane that she had given to Logan.Heck!! She stared on and within few hours, her door bursted open like whoever came was Ina such a hurry to deliver some news."Oh peniel, I never knew it was you." Melissa said in a soft and sweet tone that she hadn't use in a while."Knowing if it's me is not actually the main drill now. I have a solution." Peniel reiterated and Melissa's eye widened.All she wanted to do was to cure her mate as fear enveloped her at the thought of loosing him before bonding with him."Okay, what is it? I'll do anything." Melissa whimpered as tears flowed
Petal's POV"They are the one's." I yelled and Logan gave them a hot chase.They weren't even up to 15 strides away from him when he caught up with them and circled them, stopping and blocking their way from going anywhere. "Just stop right there." He warned with an authoritative tone that made me adamire him once more.Trust me, it's just mere admiration and nothing more so don't look at me like that!"What the hell do you think you're doing?." He queried and i sighed while they mumbled something that would b quite inaudible to pure human ears but the thing they were forgetting was that everyone present here had wolf ears and would hear even the slightest whisper…..or maybe not everyone present here, but certainly me."Did you just say nothing he should know about?." I enquired and they stared at me with a strange look in their eyes.I could see confusion and what else….dread in their eyes!"No!." They answered in unison with gritted teeths."What were you doing at the Black Claw Pac
Writer's PovWhile all the chaos and Petals condition was still trending in the territory leaving everywhere in chaos, every other place in the whole supernatural community consisted of chaos. Back at the crescent moon pack, Alpha Xander stood at the parlour in the inside of his house relaxing after the days work. He felt really tired as he had a pack to rule or let's say control and also a job to handle. It was beginning to get windy out here and he was really feeling exhausted, so the next remedy he could think of was retiring to bed.But hold up a second as a thought flashed through his mind.We're there not supposed to be maids that would be regulating the air condition?He went inside the room to catch some sleep when his eyes caught glimpse of an image resting on his side table. That image. The image of the chosen one and her mum. What the fvck was this picture doing here. "I thought I had hid this picture frame in the basement." He thought to himself.As he was thinking of ho
Petals PovIt was the beaming of light rays from the cracks in the wall and the nearby window that hit my eyes, making me flutter my lashes trying to stable the illumination.I fluttered my eye lids till it got normalized with the light in the room, then I noticed that I was in a strange room that was filled with people……what's going on?I immediately sat up and also used the opportunity to survey the room, only to meet the very worried expression of Melissa, Logan and other pack members.Okay, what was going on?I shut my eyes tightly trying to recollect the incident that led me here but nothing was forthcoming.Everyone's head was bent like they were in some kind of ritual or they had all pulled am all nighter and we're now damn tired.Just then, recollections came flooding into my brain, I and Melissa were about to stroll out when I suddenly got dizzy and then everywhere turned into a heavy mist of darkness.Almost immediately I remembered, Melissa stired and then looked up only to
Ansel's Pov"Well then, let's take you back to history." Peniel started and i sat straight up in my chair because it was settled in my mind thay this game had only one way to end.It's either they agree or blood would shed here!!"But why is the beta not doing this? The black haired girl could sit back down." Their beta stressed again and I saw peniel toll her eyes in disgust."I understand you love to flaunt your accent but I assure you that the accent isn't needed in this discussion." Peniel responded with a wide devilish smile on her face.Roasted!!!!!!"Lest I remind you that you're at my pack so you have no right to insult me." The beta fired standing on her feet so she could be levelly with Peniel."You could sit back down now, don't stress your energy. You're not going to do more than a dogs bark. " Peniel shot and that made the beta lose it.She ran towards Peniel with speed and was about slapping her when Peniel stopped the slap by holding her hands."You might want to never t
Petals PovAs I finally acknowledged been the chosen one even if I had no idea what it meant, it felt a new found energy oozed through my bones.It was like another light was added to my eyes as it sparkled brightly and I could see the intruders pause pike they were under some kind of spell.Just then, I lifted my hands like someone about to worship and they began screaming in pain as they scampered away for their lives.This was the second time this was happening at a war and I could feel the eyes of the rogue wolves all on me as they stared at me in ecstasy.After the least person that was an intruder had fled, I felt like I was zapped out of breath and I feel to the floor like a log of wood.Logan, Melissa, Sven, and Skyler ran to my side as Melissa ran her fingers through my hair like a caring mother.My vision was getting hazy and blurry and I knew that it was seeping up all of my strength as I tried to keep my eyes open.Melissa finally led me to her room, where I freshened up an
PetalThere was no way in hell this was possible right?I... Petal? Alpha of this Territory!!! That was a shocker and a boomerang at the same time.I felt dazed and mortified, not until I heard Logan bellowing my name into the microphone beckoning on me to ascend to the podium.No way!! He must feel bad for this scenario because I'm sure he had wanted to be an Alpha so badly because he was closest to Elder Draco.If I go up there and I see hurt in his eyes, I'd give up the positionI was too weak to even react so Melissa grasped my hands, pulling me out of my sit as she dragged me to the podium.Everyone laughed, clapped and cheered and I wondered when everyone had loved me to the extent of wanting me as their Alpha.I got to the podium and Logan flashed me a warm bright smile. No way.... I thought he was going to be feeling sad or whatsoever as he wasn't picked, I would have gladly give up the position but he seemed really cool and pleased with the outcome.This Territory would just k
PetalFew weeks later, the scenario of me blanking out, fainting and throwing up had became a norm for me amidst been an Alpha but thank goodness, like I had said the day I was crowned Alpha.... I had chosen the right bet.Melissa was always there, filling up for me when health issues arose.But today as she entered my office to give a report she looked like someone that was worried and had something to say and just like I had assumed, I was right!"Alpha Petal, I have something to discuss with you." She said and I knew immediately that my instincts was never wrong."I understand that I haven't been a hardworking Alpha for the past few weeks but I assure you that once my health is back to normal, you wouldn't have to stress yourself out. " I assured and she just rolled her eyes."That's not even what I want to talk about." She reiterated and i had to tilt my head to hear what she had to say.She slumped into the chair opposite me and heaved a deep sigh."Just spit it out already, skip
PetalThe weight of Fraye’s threat still hung in the air, but the moment Ansel stepped into the clearing with Hansel by his side, a spark of hope ignited in my chest.I controlled shouting my lungs out.Their resemblance is however.... striking.My son. My beautiful boy was safe, though his wide, frightened eyes told me he had endured more than any child should. I rushed to Hansel, dropping to my knees as I pulled him into my arms. He clung to me tightly, his small body trembling against mine. “Mama,” he whispered, his voice cracking. I kissed the top of his head, silent tears streaming down my face. “Shh, it’s okay now,” I murmured, though I wasn’t entirely sure it was true. My heart ached, knowing he’d been used as a pawn in this vicious game. But I couldn’t let my emotions rule me. Not yet. Not when there was still so much at stake. I looked up at Ansel, his expression a mix of relief and fury. “Thank you,” I said softly. He nodded, but his jaw remained tight. “This isn’t o
FreyaI had always been good at reading people. It was a skill I prided myself on, one that had served me well over the years. But lately, it was impossible to ignore the way Ansel’s eyes lingered on Petal. The subtle shift in his tone when he spoke to her. The way he seemed to gravitate toward her without even realizing it. It made my stomach churn. He was my mate. My *second chance mate*. The one person who was supposed to be mine and mine alone. But instead of the love and devotion I deserved, he was giving it to *her*. Petal Brooks. The name itself was like poison on my tongue. She was a thorn in my side, a threat to everything I had fought so hard to secure. And now, as if her presence wasn’t already unbearable, I could see the cracks forming in Ansel’s loyalty to me. ---One evening, I found myself pacing in my tent, the fabric walls doing little to muffle the rising storm in my chest. The memories of the past few days played on repeat in my mind—Ansel laughing with Pe
PetalThe moment Ansel hit the ground, a sickening thud echoed through the battlefield. My breath hitched as I froze, my eyes locked on his crumpled form lying several feet away. For a second, everything around me—the snarls, the growls, the clash of claws—fade into silence. Then, the monstrous creature roared again, snapping me back to reality. Its blood-red eyes locked onto me, and it charged, its massive body barreling through everything in its path. “Petal, move!” Logan’s voice sliced through the chaos. Instinct took over. I dove to the side, the creature’s claws slicing through the air where I’d been just seconds before. My heart pounded as I scrambled to my feet, adrenaline coursing through me. ---I glanced toward Ansel. Melissa was already at his side, checking his pulse. “He’s alive!” she shouted, relief clear in her voice. “But barely!” That was enough for me. He wasn’t dead—yet. “Get him out of here!” I commanded. “Logan, cover them!” Logan nodded, rushing t
PetalThe forest was alive with tension. Every sound—the crunch of a leaf, the faint rustle of branches—felt louder, sharper, as if the night itself was holding its breath. We moved silently through the dense trees, the cool air wrapping around us like a cloak. I kept my warriors close, my senses heightened. Beside me, Ansel walked with a quiet confidence, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. For a moment, I glanced at him, watching the way his jaw tightened as we approached the clearing. He was focused, determined, and ready for the fight ahead. “Are your warriors in position?” I asked him in a hushed tone. “They’re ready,” he replied, his voice steady. “What about yours?” I turned my head slightly, meeting Melissa’s gaze. She gave me a firm nod, her hand resting on the hilt of her blade. “We’re always ready.” As we reached the edge of the clearing, I signaled for everyone to halt. We crouched low, the shadows of the trees blending with our figures. Across the clearin
Alpha AnselYes, we just experienced firsthand fight and it was nothing. We warded them off easily.I couldn’t stop staring at her as we walked back toward the camp. Petal—no, Alpha Rieka, as she now called herself—wasn’t the same person I remembered. The girl I once knew was quiet, timid, and unsure of herself. But the woman walking beside me now… she was fire and steel. Her steps were confident, her head held high. She barely spared me a glance, her sharp gaze scanning the woods around us. She didn’t trust me—of that I was certain. But then again, I wasn’t sure I trusted her either. “Why did you agree to help us?” I asked finally, breaking the silence. She didn’t slow down, didn’t even look at me. “An alliance benefits both our packs,” she said simply. “That’s the official reason,” I replied. “But what’s the real one?” This time, she stopped and turned to face me. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting silvery glow on her face. Her expression was unreadable, but
PetalAs Ansel walked up to me, every one of my warriors stood on alert. I didn’t need to say a word—they could sense the tension crackling in the air like a coming storm. Ansel stopped a few feet in front of me, his eyes searching mine. “Can we talk alone for a moment?” he asked. His voice was deep but laced with something softer—something that made me uneasy. I narrowed my eyes at him. Alone? Was he serious? Every instinct screamed at me not to trust him. My warriors shifted on their feet, ready to jump in at the slightest signal. Melissa stepped up beside me, her hand casually brushing against the dagger strapped to her belt. “You don’t have to go anywhere with him,” she muttered under her breath. “We can talk right here.” “I’ll be fine,” I said, though I wasn’t entirely sure I believed it myself. I turned back to Ansel. “Lead the way. But just so you know, if this is a trick, my warriors will turn your camp into dust before you can blink.” He didn’t respond to my thre
Petal After being interrogated by Melissa who's mood has been off and on, I was finally let off the hook and would soon head off to the Crimson pack. "Take care of Hansel." Patting Melissa's hand, meekly said to her. "Whatever." She rolled her eyes at me. "Petal, why do I feel you are excited about going to see that damned man again?" This time, her hands were akimbo. "Are you jealous?" I asked her because I honestly couldn't tell what was bothering her. "Of course not! I'm just concerned about you... This is an alliance treaty, you have to act strong. Don't let the past get into you." It's funny how she keeps repeating these words. I took a quick stroll around the pack house and when I was sure everything and everyone was in good shape, I assembled my gamma's once again to have a brief talk with them. Logan helped in disbursing some herbs for those who will get injured. "Attention warriors of the Black Blemish pack! Today we march to forge an alliance with the Crimson pack and a
Petal“Alpha, the rouges returning from the city got some news about Moonlight pack.” One of my pack members informed as he pushed the door ajar, and his words sent a smirk to my lips.“Firstly, I would rather not hear any member of my pack been referred to as a rogue because we are now a natural pack. I made it a natural pack because we have an Alpha now. Asides that, where been the people that would deliver such blissful news to me?” I queried, beaming with smiles while Melissa stared at me like I've completely lost it.The way she stares at me these days makes me feel cringe, she better be pregnant, else she might have to explain some of her actions.“Come in.” The man hollered and in the next minute, some of my pack members came in with their heads bowed in reverence.“Speak up.” I ordered, while I leaned in closer, so I wouldn't miss anything at all.“Out in the city, we heard some people whispering and decided to wave it off as there might be fake rumours around, but it was in th
PETAL"Gosh, shut up Petal. The baby is coming out through your vagina so you've gotta open your legs if you really want that baby to survive. Darn it, its just too bad that we don't have a female doctor that could do this. But I learned a few things from my pack so if you don't mind, I can takeover." Melissa admonished and a sly smile crept up on my lips."Thank goodness you're here, just take control because I can't stand another man staring into..dang, I don't want to think on it again." I grimaced and she smiled.Turning to the men, she dismissed them while setting up some as guards so no one passes through the hall way.So, I'm having my first child delivered by the hallway. Epic!Anyways, I was required to push out the baby some more and then all that needed to be cut was cut and I was taken back to my room with Melissa and my baby in her hands."Maybe you want to touch him?" Melissa asks the moment she bolted the door to my room."I don't know. I thought that the thought of tra
