DAMIEN.“I would have loved to see that,” Alpha Maddox says as he reclines on the hospital bed. “It must have been very satisfying.”“It was,” I concur.I and Natale had decided to visit the pack clinic to check on the casualties of the fight of the previous day as well as Lucas and Alpha Maddox.Lucas is still unconscious but recovering, while Alpha Maddox is thankfully awake and alert and on his way to being discharged.“The very least you could have done was invite us to the interrogations, instead of broadcasting it.”Right.In addition to me and Natalie, some of the other Alphas had also come to visit him.Among them is the Alpha Sven.“I am not in the habit of taking strangers into sensitive parts of my pack,” I retort at him. “Strangers? Who are the strangers?” he demands. “If I remember correctly, you had left this stranger in charge of watching your beta while he was bleeding out.”“Yen yen yen,” I say in a mocking tone. “The only reason I asked you was because there were no
CHAPTER 69: REUNION.NATALIE.“You know when I said we haven't discussed Maya’s whereabouts, I didn't mean to summon her,” I tell my wolf as I and Damien head over to the gate.“She was bound to return sooner than later,” she responds. “And there is no need for you to worry, we are confident in Damien’s love for us. And besides, if she is as noble as everyone says she is, then you have nothing for you to fear.”“I suppose you are right. Well, let's go and welcome her home then.”“Are you okay?” I hear quietly from beside me.“Hmm?” I ask Damien as I look over to him. “His eyes are a little tense and his luos drawn like he is sucking on a dry lemon. “Why won't I be?”“About Maya.”“What about her?”“You are not still worried about me wanting her as a mate?”“Do you?”“Of course, not.”“Then why should I be worried?”“Well-”“Damien,” I interrupt him as I come to a halt and face him. “I believed you when you said you chose me. And when you said you have no romantic feelings for her, so
READER DISCRETION: SEXUAL SCENE UP AHEAD MAYA.“That went a lot better than I thought it would,” Tanya says.“What part?” I demand as we head towards my room.“Everything. Considering what I remember of Damien, he was actually kind.”“Your memories are failing you.”Damien was ruthless.He had drawn out every single detail from me. Starting from who brought up the plan, how she appeared dead, where the vial was gotten, whose ashes were used, and on and on it went. He just kept drilling us and all the while, Natalie watched with her eyes fixed on me.Why was she staring at me like that?Did she know what I was going to do?No, that would be impossible.“I think Natalie was delightful,” Tanya says, bringing me out of my stupor.“What?! What do you mean by that? All she did was stare at me unflinching like she was challenging me.”“Of course she was,” she remarks with a scoff. “You weren't very subtle with your shock and displeasure at finding out how close she and Damien have gotten.
“It's your turn now,” I say while licking off his spill from my lips. His eyes somehow manage to turn farmer at those words, before a slow smile creeps over his face.He rises till we are face to face before he turns me over, once again, switching position before he leans down over my neck and begins nibbling on it.With reckless abandon, I arch into him, pulling him close.His lips slowly begin to tease the sensitive skin on my neck as his hands go behind me to reach for the clasp of my bra. In one move, he unclasps it and uses the strap of said bra to hold my hands hostage over my head.Holding my hands there with one hand, he uses his other one to sneak into my panties. One finger, and then two. Slowly, he fills me up until his whole fingers are in me, moving in and out at a steadily increasing tempo.The only part I'm able to move is my hips since my hands are held hostage and my legs are trapped by his thighs. At this point, I'm completely at a loss for words. Only grunts, and pa
MAYA.“Why are you here?” I snarl at him, the anger and pain I feel coming out to lash at him.“Shouldn't I be asking you that?” he retorts, with a raised eyebrow.“This is my pack! I have the right to walk anywhere I want to. You do not.”“Do you also have the right to watch your Alpha while he is dancing the horizontal tango with his mate?”“I wasn't watching. I didn't mean to. I came to see him, to discuss something with him.”“At past three in the morning?” he asks with a disbelieving stare.“You know what?” I snarl as I walk past him. “I don't have to explain myself to you.”“You have no idea how this looks, do you?” he asks as he falls in step with me. “You peeking at the two of them? I was told that you are one of the pillars of this pack. Wise, discerning, always putting the pack first. I have to say I don't see it.”“How dare you?!” I snarl as I whirl on him. “How dare you say that to me? You have no idea what I have sacrificed for this pack!”“No. I don't,” he says as he con
LUCAS.THREE DAYS AGO.“Well, first things first, let's go smoke out a rat,” Damien says as we approach the doors of the grand hall. “Lucas, guard the doors. Anyone who comes out before me or Natalie, you kill them. No questions asked.”“Got it.”And with a final nod at me, he pushes the door open and walks in with the Luna.Thank the goddess that I don't have to be in that meeting.Over sensitized Alphas, who are about to be told that one of them is a traitor. Yeah, I am not getting involved in that shit show.That said, standing guard at the door quickly gets boring.It reminds me of the days when the previous Aloha was still alive and I was just an ordinary patrol wolf.Endless hours of waiting and nothing.Those endless hours were made bearable with the presence of Damien and Maya who always came to spend the time with me.The three musketeers.We were so close then we could practically tell what the other was thinking before they actually thought it. We could anticipate each of o
MAYA.“How do you feel?” I ask frantically, as I run my hands over him to check for what? I do not know. But the excitement at seeing him awake still runs through me. “Are you in any pain? Is the poison gone? You know what?” I say as I straighten myself and begin heading to the door. “I will go get Eric.”“Maya,” he calls. His voice is raspy to hear, probably caused by the days he hasn't used it. “I am fine. Spare me the dealers for a while and come sit.”“But-” I begin, pointing toward the door.“Maya. Come sit.”His voice sounds serious, something he usually isn't.He definitely heard my ramblings about Natalie.Damn it.I knew I should have just shut up.With a resigned sigh, I walk back to the bed and plop my behind beside him.“What's up?” I ask.Like I don't already know.“Like you don't already know,” he unknowingly, echoes my thought. “What is this about wanting to get rid of Natalie and having Damien for yourself? Maya?”“It's complicated,” I start to answer.“No. It really i
NATALIE.“I believe she is possessed by Void.”You have got to be kidding me.“Void?” I ask. “Are you sure?”“Yes, very sure,” he answers “How do you know it was him? It?”“Like I had informed you earlier, I have an immense library full of records of Void. How he works. Whom he targets. And there was also the fact that the aura I felt coming from her- him- it, was without a doubt, pure evil. And cold.”“Damn it!” Damien snaps as he runs his hand through his hair. *I don't suppose you managed to stop him?” he asks, finally deciding on the pronoun to use.“No. He was too far away.”“Um… I'm sorry,” Maya interrupts. “Who is Void? And why is he a problem?”We all then look at her as one before Damien answers. “It's complicated. We will explain everything later, but first, we have to go see Lucas,” he tells her before turning to leave.“Right,” she remarks. “Well, I guess I will see you guys later then.”“What do you mean?” Damien asks as he stops. “Aren't you coming with us? He has bee

DAMIEN.I watch in delighted mischief as Lucas keeps staring at Mirabel like a demented fool. Completely besotted by a woman he just met.Man, I am going to tease him so badly when we are free.Mr. I don't want a mate, I like my peace too much.What a sucker.But right now, we have a serious issue to handle.“Get yourself under control, Lucas!” I bark at him through the mindlink and watch as he starts into attention, his eyes flickering to me.“Mate,” he whispers to me, eyes wide and lost and it takes all of my strength to not break into a smile.“I know,” I tell him. “But right now, her mother is in trouble. You remember who I am talking about. Fredja?”“Fredja,” he repeats. “Fredja, eight. Sorry. Let's get back to business.”Once I am sure that he is back to his normal self, I turn back to the rest and notice that they are all watching the both of us.“Sorry about that,” I say out loud. “Lucas here is a very good friend of Fredja, in addition to being extremely worried about her w
DAMIENWith a startled gasp, I rear up, alert despite it being just past two in the morning.I leap off the bed and out of the room, hurrying towards Lucas’s room.Ramming my gist on it, I shout, “Wake up, Lucas?! Wake up, we have got a problem!”A few more raps and the door swings open.“You know, this is becoming a habit, “ he mutters as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and yawns. “A terrible habit. Which mountain is on fire?”He is dressed in just boxer briefs, that looks like he just put it on.“Fredja,” I state.Instantly, he comes alert, blue eyes trained on me and intensely focused.“What about Fredja? What happens to her? Is she alright? I swea-”“We think the council is with Void,” I tell him.“The council. The high council? The one she has been with all this while? How, why? Wait, who is we?”“Me and Natalie.”“Natalie? The Luna is back?”“No. She did some weird thing with my dreams but anyway, think about it. Alaric said there were a lot of witches in Void’s army. How could
NATALIE“You can't do that!” I exclaim.I am still sitting there stunned by her remark.What does she mean to come back as a mortal? The whole reason this mess started is because she came as a moral in the first place.“Why not?” she asks with a pout. “I want to experience life with my offspring.”I stare at her, absorbing the weight of the Moon Goddess's words, my mind reeling with disbelief. Can you believe this?"I get your reason but I do t think you coming back would be the best decision. I mean, what would the others say?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, filled with a mixture of concern and trepidation. "You know the risks. The consequences. The ban on deities entering the mortal realm..."The Moon Goddess regards me with a serene expression, her eyes reflecting the wisdom of countless ages. "I understand your worry, Natalie," she says softly, her voice carrying a weight that seems to echo through the very air of the room. "But I am tired of hiding. Of paying for my mis
DAMIEN“...her lover is - was Void.”“Damien,” Harvey calls my name, already showing signs of frustration. “You are really pushing this too far. What do you mean Void was the moon goddess’s liver? How?”“Look, I don't know. And I am not entirely motivated to know. I have told you what Natalie relayed to me, that is it,” I say.“Wait,” Steven interrupts. “If Void was her lover, doesn't that mean that your mate has blood ties - or whatever it is they have - with him?”“Yes. That is exactly what it means. Natalie has the power of two deities running through her veins.”“Wow,” Cain remarks. “You really hit the bag with your mate. How does it feel to have deities as parent in laws?” he asks with a smirk.“Not great,” I reply, and then turning to Harvey, I ask. “What plan do you have in mind to get into Void’s camp?”THANDRAL- WORLD OF THE DEITIES ONE OF THE OTHER WORLDS.NATALIE.I collapse into the lush mattress that feels like clouds.“I am best,” I groan into it.“Long day?” a tinkling
DAMIEN.As we sit in the living room, our thoughts preoccupied with the issue before us, I can't help but have the stray thought that we will fail.That we are not united enoughThat I am not trusted enough.That I am not enough and that I am going to fail Natalie.“Damien,” Harvey’s voice cuts through the haze of doubt and as it reaches my ears.I look up at him in question and I see his calm green eyes focused on me.“Don't fret too much. We know the truth, all we have to do is find a way to bring it to light, and in all my years that I have lived, I know there is always a way.”“Hmm,” I hum as I send him a small but grateful smile.“So-”Cain is interrupted from whatever he wants to say by a sharp knock echoing through the room, bringing with it a semblance of normality.That despite the issues and trials and the impossibility that face us, life still goes on.Wow.I sound sentimental.That's what spending hours training side by side with Lucas will get you.Unfailing optimism.It'
DAMIEN“Oh, come on!” The exclamation rings out from one of the pack members as he collapses to the floor thanks to the maneuver g of his spar partner.“You cheated!”“Did not! You are just slow?”“You-”“Enough.”The voice cuts through the clearing, causing us all to turn to face him.“Let's take ten.”As soon as Alaric signals for a break in the training, exhaustion washes over the pack members like a tidal wave. We collapse onto the grass, gasping for breath, our bodies trembling from the intensity of the workout. I wipe the sweat from my brow, feeling the burn of exertion in my muscles.“Thank the goddess,” I pant. “The man is a demon.”It is the third day of training and my muscles are screaming at me in protest.I thought I was good. That my training was up to par if not one of the best.Boy, was I wrong.Alaric has broken, crushed, and destroyed all of my previous acclaim with his own regiment of training.If I was a weaker, insecure man, I would have already called it quits.
DAMIEN.“...When did you even leave?”“The same night Maya left,” he answers as he turns to leave. “I am just getting back now. Didn't you notice?”“No. I have been a little preoccupied lately. With Natalie gone and communicating with Ha-”“Natalie is gone?” he asks, interrupting me. His ice blue eyes are even more startling with their intensity. “Gone where? When did she go? Was it because of Maya? What happ-”“Calm your titties. One question at a time,” I say, already out of breath from the onslaught of questions.“Okay. Okay. Where did she go?”“I don't know.”“What?! What do you mean you don't know?”“I mean I don't know the exact place she is. All I know is that she went to the word of deities,” I tell him.“Oh, I see. Her training has begun.”“Yes, it has,” I affirm. “What did you mean by ‘Was it because of Maya?’ What do you know?” I demand“Nothing.”“Wow. You are a terrible liar.”“Look, it doesn't matter anymore. The good thing is that she left on her own. So there is no fo
DAMIENPOW!SMACK!The sounds of sparring echo in one of the training rooms as I land another hit on Lucas.Harvey had left not too long after our conclusions to convince the other Alphas -which is a huge load off for me. The idea of brown nosing people is still unappealing to me, regardless of the reason.In the well lit training room, the air hangs heavy with anticipation as Lucas and I continue our face off. The space is expansive, with high ceilings that seem to stretch into darkness above us. The walls are lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, reflecting our every move as we circle each other. The polished wood floor beneath our feet is worn smooth from countless hours of training, marked with scuff marks and scratches that tell the stories of past sparring matches.In one corner of the room, a small alcove holds a rack of training equipment—padded gloves, punching bags, and agility cones—all waiting to be used in the pack’s quest for improvement. The only other features in the
