Damon's Pov.I held her hand as I waited for her to wake up. I bent my head as I rubbed the back of her hand against my forehead."What are you doing here?" I heard that faint voice.She is awake already, I raised up my head immediately as I looked at her pale face. She looked so pale. I pray the outcome doesn't become worse in the Future.Is Gwen really capable of doing this?She dragged her hand from mine, jolting me out of my thoughts."This isn't the time to get angry." I said she rolled her eyes.She wanted to stand up but I stopped her."Stay that way." I said as she sighed."Where are others?" She asked immediately and she noticed there was no one in the room."I sent all of it outside." I informed her."Have you found the person who did this to me?" She queried."I'm sorry to say, but Gwen is in the dungeon currently." I had to tell her and the next thing was that she bursted into laughter."Why did you lock her up? You think she is the one responsible for what happened to me?
Anna's Pov.It has been three days since the incident about me being poisoned happened. I planned on torturing the two people who confessed but I can't longer find them.They must have been taken away by whoever sent them, whoever sent them must really have a lot of power and the only person I suspect is Helen. She is capable of doing such.I am planning on going to the dungeon tonight to go and see Gwen. I am avoiding Luke at all costs. The Alpha told me not to go and see her but I will have to go and do it.Luke's men are the one guarding the dungeon, the Alpha knows she isn't the one who poisoned me but he shouldn't be that strict with the security.I am dressed already."Where are you going?" Daya asked to see me dressed up when she came inside."I need to ask about some things from Gwen," I informed her."What?" She screamed."Hey, reduce your voice, someone might hear us." I cautioned as she nodded."The Alpha said you must not leave your room at night and you must not leave alo
AnnaAll I wanted to do… was create.I stared into the ocean hues in his eyes and stiffened as he pulled me into his arms, igniting sparks that only destined lovebirds could feel. My body subconsciously eased into his touch and my fingers found themselves drawing patterns against the softness of his shirt.Far into the future, I could see the creation of our love birthed into something bigger than a current us could ever imagine.He leaned into my face. My face was hot and I felt flustered but it all melted away as I felt the teasing tug of his teeth on my ear. A moan slipped past me as his warmth sent shivers down my spine."Haiden," I gasped, throwing my head back as a sensation I'd never felt before tugged through me.He slowly removed his teeth from my ear and turned away from me. His arms slowly retracting from my crushable body. "Mate," he uttered into the reminisce reminder of the green array of trees that covered us. The pack's fluorescent guest house had been untouched for ye
Anna's pov"Miss Anna?" I heard a reprimanding voice interrupt my conversation with the squad member that was also a close friend of my parents."Beta," he responded with quivering lips and a bowed neck."Is this what you're supposed to be doing, Piercy?""N-no, Beta I—""—You're dismissed, get going." He hissed in a powerful tone causing Piercy to turn away from me without a final glance.I sighed, wondering why the Beta was harsh for no reason. I'd always gotten bad vibes from him but as long as we kept a cordial distance from each other like we usually do, I would not mind it. But still, he was my mate's best subordinate, I had to get on with him."Beta," I said, and was about to leave when he said, "Stop,"I sighed and did as he asked.He then walked over in front of me, as though judging me, but I was totally unhinged by this and simply blinked. "What are you doing?""The Alpha has asked you to make preparations to move into the pack house."My eyes instantly brightened, "So what
Luke's Pov"...between me and him, who would you choose?" I heard the vile women ask the Alpha. And even though I told myself that the question was unimportant and I didn't need it to judge my closeness with the Alpha based on that, I folded when I heard his answer."You, of course."I walked away, leaving the lovestruck mates to their intimate moment. I didn't know why but I felt as though my world was crashing around me and I was losing all sense of control.Was it because of Alpha's answer?I clenched my fists tightly and stared straight ahead.Even though I wouldn't admit it out loud, I was threatened by Anna's existence in the heart of my Alpha. However, it wouldn't last for long. I had to do something about it. Thankfully, there was a gap in my Alpha's heart which made him unable to trust fully and I was going to use that to my advantage.Four days later***My plan was going right as orchestrated. At dawn, Anna's parents were holding two pots of wine in hand and sent them to the
Haiden's pov"My Alpha, the Gammas had this sent to you."My future in-laws did?"Pour me a cup immediately," I told the omega and he instantly went to grab the cup on the comforter. Then he opened the wine pot and I was hit with the refreshing smell of the wine.I felt a bit anxious. I hadn't officially introduced myself to Anna's parents. I just had her live here without consultation from the elders. That wasn't right. I had to go and pay them a proper visit later tonight.The omega filled the cup with wine and I let the smell linger in my nose for a bit before grabbing the handle of the cup.My ears twitched, picking up on the speed I heard in the hallway.But then, I heard my Beta's panicked thoughts through the pack's mind link."DON'T DRINK THE WINE, ALPHA!"I immediately let go of the cup's handle."Is anything the matter, Alpha?" The omega asked, "The elders made this, especially for you.""Why shouldn't I drink the wine, Luke?"The door busted open with Luke in his wolf form,
"Poisoned?" Anna's mother dropped the cup in her hand causing me to smirk. "Yes." I answered, forcing an expressionless face as I walked to Anna's father, Stefan. Our once upon a time, formidable warrior and Gamma. I snaked an arm around his shoulder and whispered, "What about you and your wife die for your daughter's chance to live?" The moment I said that, I sensed an attack from Stephanie, Stefan's wife. I swiftly turned around, avoiding her kick before it landed. Stephanie's upper body was weak compared to her husband but she had legs that could leave a person paralyzed for months. I did not want that. "You backstab! This was your plan, wasn't it?" Stephanie yelled, "You took advantage of our delivering wine to the past Alpha and his son, and poisoned it! And now you're going to use that to drive our daughter away from her mate? How is she supposed to live, tell me!" "Exactly. Anna is still so young. She's dead if you two die, but she's worse than dead without her mate." From
I didn't know how long we kept running untill we arrived at a darker, denser area. The air was thick, compared to the smooth and calming fresh air back at Blue Thunder.I looked at my parents and they urged me to stay still in my wolf form to be more comfortable. I moved to my parents and they cuddled me with their bigger, warm woven body.They mind-linked me, assuring me that I would be okay, but that wasn't what I cared about in the moment. I asked them the question I truly wanted to hear since Haiden came to me and told me the ugly story."Mom, dad, did you really kill the past Alpha and posioned Haiden's wine?"After a moment of hesitation, they both said in sync. "Yes, we did."My eyes widened at their words and I immediately pulled away from their woven body and angrily turned to face them. But I couldn't bring myself to be angry at them. Their minds were saying one thing, but their eyes were saying another.I shook my head at them, "No I don't believe you! That must be a lie! Y
