Vladimir
When Alpha Max told the wolves chasing me to stop and take me to the office, all I could think about was to kill him for what he did to Mr. and Mrs. Radu. I try to get free from the males dragging me to the office, but they are stronger than me. I am thinking about freeing Derayu from the prison I built around him when I entered the office, my lungs filled with the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled—lilac and hyacinth. My blood roars in my ears, and I stop fighting. Derayu howls inside my head and slams against the invisible walls surrounding him.
I often wondered if the girl I loved with all my heart had been my soulmate. After that day, when I took her innocent life and became the slave of the Silver Pack, I accepted it because it was my punishment for what I did. Every time Ana would mention my soulmate, only the face of my princess—how I often called her—would come to my mind. But the Moon Goddess has another plan for me.
I turn my attention to the source of that mouth-watering scent—my mate. My eyes lock with the most incredibly gorgeous brown eyes I have ever seen. They are so dark they appear to be black. She stares at me, and I do the same. As a slave, I know I don't have the right to look into her eyes, but even if I want to, I can't tear my eyes away from her.
She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She is so petite I wonder if she eats only on Mondays and Fridays. If I were worthy of her, I would make sure she never goes hungry. Her raven hair reaches her waist, and I curious to know if it is as silky as it looks like. And her lips. Dear gods, her lips. So full and plump. I would spend hours kissing her. A pair of faded jeans hug her legs showing all her curves. On the upper part of her body, she wears a simple t-shirt and a leather jacket.
She orders the males to let go of me as if she were an Alpha, and I wonder why the hell I got paired with her? I feel Derayu is extremely pleased to have her as a mate, but I do my best to ignore him.
Ana calls my name, and it is only then that I notice a Godzilla of a male holding her in his arms as if she is a delicate flower. Next to him is another male, but he is shorter than the behemoth one. While he is young, his hair is entirely white, and his eyes are so blue they seem violet. I have never seen them before, and I assume they are here with my mate.
Godzilla helps Ana stand, and she runs to me. I catch her in my arms, and she buries her face into my chest. "It will be alright," I whisper into her ear as I rub her back.
The behemoth growls, but I ignore him because I know he is not Ana's soulmate.
My mate turns her back on me, and I don't blame her. She starts speaking with Alpha Max. When he informs her about my crime, I expect her to look at me with disgust, but instead, she tells him he will be punished for his crimes. When she mentions that he killed two pack members, Ana whimpers, and my mate turns her head in my direction.
Alpha Max takes something out of his pocket that looks like a spray can and points it at my mate. I let go of Ana, and I try to tell my mate to duck, but the words get stuck in my throat. The male with white hair warns her, but Alpha Max sprays whatever is in that container in her face. The smell of wolfsbane reaches my nose, and while it can be deadly for werewolves, it does not affect me. It never did. But I can tell my mate, Elena—that's what the male with the white hair called her—is struggling to breathe. Ana covers her face with her shirt, not wanting to inhale the poisonous air. The males that are with my mate seem to be a bit disoriented because of the wolfsbane, and Alpha Max and Beta Stefan take advantage of the situation and run out of the office. The males that chased me in the dark hallways of the dungeon follow them.
Derayu is so angry because Alpha Max hurt Elena, I am certain he will finally escape the prison I put around him. To my shock, he shares his strength with me so I can chase after him and kill him. But Alpha Max is not the center of my focus right now. Elena is.
Elena is gasping for air like a fish on land, and I catch her in my arms right when she is about to hit the floor. For once in my miserable existence, I am glad Derayu is helping me, otherwise, I don't think I would have the strength to hold my mate in my arms. Elena puts her palms on my chest, and I feel sparks all over my body. I know she will reject me as soon as possible, but the bond between us is like a spider web, and the more I look at her and smell her, the stronger the pull between us becomes.
Elena stares into my eyes. "Y-you wi-will b-be fi-f-fine," I say to her.
The male with white hair rushes to us and pulls something out of his pocket that looks like a small medical tube. Instructions are written on it.
While I wonder what the male plans to do with the medical tube, I am worried about my mate.
Elena almost stops breathing.
"Sh-She n-needs he-help," I say to the male and start to walk towards the door.
"Elena is allergic to wolfsbane!" the male says, rushing after me. I start walking faster, wondering if the pack's doctor can help Elena. The male with white hair runs up to me and shows me the tube. "This is an Epipen, and it will help her!" he explains.
I stop in my tracks, and the male takes the cap off and presses it to Elena's thigh. A click follows.
It takes a few minutes for Elena to feel better.
"Put me down!" Elena orders me, and I obey. "Where the fuck is Max?" she asks as she takes out a dagger.
Vladimir The male with white hair scratches the back of his head and looks around him, scanning the hallways. The Pack House is unusually quiet; there are no pups running around or teenagers shyly glancing at those they like. While I have never been a real member of the Silver Pack, I know there is a special bond between a werewolf and his pack. They can mind link, a thing I could never do since, technically, I am still a rogue. When Ana's parents died, everyone felt it. From what I understood, when a pack member returns to the Moon Goddess, a part of the pack's heart goes with him. I might not feel that pain, but knowing Mr. and Mrs. Radu died because they wanted to help me hurts so badly, and I want to claw my heart out of my chest. But Ana needs me, so for her sake, I must carry on. She rejected Mikael and has no relatives left in Romania. A cousin of Mrs. Radu lives in Paris, but Ana doesn’t want to move there. My eyes fell on my hands. Ana is smart and works hard, but since she l
ElenaThe sun is about to disappear between a line of trees, and there is so much to be done before me and my team can return home. But all I can think about is Vladimir telling Mia his wolf is feral. No wonder he is full of welts and cuts. His wolf should have been able to heal them.The tip of my fingers touches his chest. Beneath all the dry blood that covers Vladamir's body, I can tell he has many scars. Max has abused my mate for a long time and subjected him to torture, and that is unacceptable! When I get my hands on Max, I will show him what torture really means!Vladimir gazes at me with pained eyes, and I know rejecting him will hurt like a motherfucker, but as a vampire huntress having a weakness can result in many people dying.Mia huffs her disagreement. 'Vladimir is not a weakness!''Think about it! His wolf is feral and he can't rely on him! What will happen when Mihnea finds out that I have found my mate? Have you stopped to think that Mihnea can use Vladimir to get to
Elena Growing up, I was never alone. There had always been family or friends over at my house, or I was visiting them. But right now, sitting in the backyard of the Silver Pack, I feel more alone than ever. In addition, I deliberately hurt my mate and made my wolf angry with me. And Mark told me he would stop working with me if I rejected Vladimir. I don't give a shit about most things, but I care a lot about Mark. At some point during my teen years, things changed, and I became less social, and I stopped speaking to most of my friends. Except for Mark. He had always been there for me. He has always been my BFF, and I love him more than anything in this world. When my first crush broke my heart, and I called him in the middle of the night, he came running to my house with a big tub of ice cream and a collection of stupid old movies. When Mark suffered because of a female, I made him his favorite dinner and stayed with him until he was better. Mark leaving the team is not an option.
VladimirAna takes me to her room and locks the door behind her before wrapping her arms around herself. I pull her into a tight hug and stroke her hair while I whisper reassuring words to her, but I know that no matter what I say or do, it won’t bring back her parents. She knows I will always be by her side, that she will be the sister I never had.I swallow hard and let go of her.“We should hurry,” I tell her. “I don’t think Elena would like it if we made her wait for too long!”“I don’t like her! Each time she visited the pack, she acted as if she were better than anyone else!”I frown because I didn’t realize that Elena had come here before. I would not have known anyway because each time someone visited the pack, I was taken to the lower parts of the dungeons and stayed there until the guests left.“It does not matter if you like her or not; we will have to go with her,” I say before heading towards Ana’s closet. “Get inside the shower while I pack your things!”Ana’s bottom lip

Vladimir When I think of my life, my past, and what I would change if I had the chance to do it, many things come to my mind. But I would never regret loving her. Every moment I spent with her was a gift.My mind goes back to that fatal day, and when I remember all the blood, the cup I am washing slips from my hand and falls on the floor with a loud noise, shattering. I look at it. This is how I am right now–broken.I hear him growl behind me and my heart starts pounding so fast in my chest, and I am already trembling with fear. I know what is going to happen, and I close my eyes. I deserve everything that is happening to me. For I am a criminal.The Alpha first punches me in the nose and then in the stomach, hard, making me bend from the pain. Blood is dripping from my broken nose."You worthless piece of shit! You always break something! And every time you break something, it costs me money. How are you going to pay for what you just broke?" Alpha Max spits his anger at me while he
Vladimir When I open my eyes, I find myself in the stables, laying on my back on my mattress with my thin and dirty blanket is covering my body. The scent and the neigh of the horses are familiar and comforting to me, as I have been sleeping in the stables for many years.I am not sure for how long I have been unconscious because it is dark in the stable, and I know it is during the night.My body throbs with pain, but after years of torture, the pain has become part of my life. But my life hasn't always been like this. There had been a time when I had a family, and I lived in a Rogue Community. There had been a time when I was not a slave or part of the Silver Pack. It's not a big pack; around a hundred werewolves live here. We live close to Târgoviște in Romania.As I shift on the mattress, I wonder who brought me here because the last thing I remember is being in the kitchen, Alpha Max beating me until I blacked out.I try to get to my left side, and a hiss of pain escapes my lips
Elena As I look at the burned buildings of the Mountain Pack, I tie my hair in a ponytail. I frown while I try to assess how much the repairs will cost. Of course, some buildings will have to be rebuilt.Mark moves to my left, but I don't say a word as I keep looking at the Pack House. Half of it perished in the fire. I frown while I try to think how the pack members will live until they have the new buildings.Less than sixteen hours ago, the Mountain Pack was attacked by a pack of rogue wolves. I still don't understand how the rogues managed to do so much damage to this pack."How many dead?" I ask Alpha Dan, the Alpha of the pack.From the corner of my right eye, I see how Alpha Dan scratches the back of his head before talking, "Ten dead and twenty-three wounded.""And what the fuck were the Enforcers doing? Play fucking cards while the rogues attacked?" I snap at the Alpha.Each pack of werewolves has at least ten Enforcers or more, depending on the size of the pack and the terri
