Twisted Mates. LONELY JOURNEY
After what felt like forever, the cab finally came to a stop."We are here," the cabbie announced.Dante peered around the surrounding from the window. It was remote and kind of away from the city. "Where?""You said the nearest resting place," he said with a big smile plastered on his face.Dante's anger spiked immediately. Things like this made him lose absolute control. "Don't tempt me. I am pretty confident that I made my statement clear. I need a hotel, not this remote environment. Is this a joke or what?"Frowning, "not to me. Please step down and pay up the can fare. I have to continue my daily business."Dante had already lost all will of arguing further. With so much frustration, he got down from the cab and paid the cabman."Have a nice day," the cabman greeted, earning a dreadful glare from Dante.He did not feel like struggling with heavy suitcases, so, he decided to get whatever he was going to need over here. Packing from his Alpha house would have been suspicious to the
Twisted Mates. JITTERY
Jake was quiet for a minute after Freya mentioned him keeping secrets. Probably, he was equally having thought about Freya's numerous secrets which he had been patient with. None of them was a saint on this matter. They both had a hidden skeleton.They were stuck in midday traffic on Ring-Road Avenue. Freya kept her face glued to the window, watching the different tall buildings and individuals going about their daily business pass by as she sat, lost in her thoughts.She couldn't figure out whether it was good luck or bad that Dante had reappeared shortly before her engagement. It was making her uneasy. For Dante to step out of his comfort zone and meet her in Oklahoma couldn't be a coincidence. He hated to be away from where he was in charge. So, why here?On Jake's side, he had feelings and people he was worried about dealing with. This was one of the little reasons Freya loved him. Amidst the wealth, smoking-hot-body and power, he still had issues. It made him seem too human. The
Twisted Mates. DECLAN
When Dante got into the mansion, the first thing he did was to use his wolf to scrutinize the place. Satisfied that he was far from danger, he settled."Are you trying to find out if you are in danger?" Declan asked.Surprised that he was able to read his action, "how do you know?" he was forced to ask."Your father taught me a lot," he simply said.Dante was patiently waiting for him to continue, but he didn't. He knew that he had to press further if he wanted answers. "How did you know my father?""I'll tell you everything that you need to know. But before then, I need to give you a tour of the property and the neighborhood.""Why?" Dante didn't care about what happened in the environment. All he wanted now was his food and a long hour of sleep. Was that too much to get?"It is necessary you know because it is yours. There are so many questions to answer and secrets to reveal to you. I'll do all that just in due time. I have to start from the most important, which is showing you aro
Twisted Mates. A TOUR
As they got to the main mansion, Dante decided that the very next day he would either go shopping or order exotic clothing that would fit the style of the house. He also needed shoes, underwear, and accessories. Leading Dante straight to the master's bedroom, Declan opened the heavy nude drapes to allow brightness into the room. The room was beyond beautiful. It had two air conditioners to always keep it cool due to its large size. The pieces of furniture were in soft gray while the sheets and whatever clothing in the room was in nude color. It had three oval sofas, two tables neatly placed in the center of each sofa and a massive television. The adjoining door led to an exquisite bathroom. There was also a walk-in closet, holding clothing of different nature. That shopping wouldn't be necessary after all."Get yourself settled. I'll ask them to bring your food to the room. Is there any other thing you want?""Nothing for now," Dante responded as he walked to the bathroom."Okay, the
Twisted Mates. A SECOND SECRET
When Dante heard Declan say a history about his origin, "what do you mean?" was the only thing he could come up with. As far as anything concerning his lineage, Alpha Hero made sure that Dante knew all. He even made him take all those boring classes about the history of all the wolves and the different packs. What more was he not informed about?"There is one story that your father entrusted to only me.""Which is?""The death of your mother."Dante felt he had heard Declan wrongly. His father never talked about his mother for anything. Not even about their meeting and her death. It was one part of his life that was a crazy one."As you might not know, your father met your mother here, on this particular river, years back. That should be thirty-five years ago. Then, he was a loving, patriotic and down-to-earth wolf who most people took as a human. He had just arrived in Oklahoma to study according to the will of his father, your grandfather, Alpha Michael. Your grandfather was the rut
Twisted Mates. AN UNKNOWN UNCLE
A lot of things kept wavering through Dante's mind. He wanted to ask so many questions concerning his mom, her sibling and any other relative that might come from that side. This meant that he was half human and half wolf. A rare combination. He had the upper hand here. He could easily live here without getting dictated. Wow! That was one hell of a secret his family kept. He was still very much angry at his grandfather for killing his mum. Who knew if she would have been alive until now."Who else knows about this great history of ours?""No one else except myself. Everyone who had knowledge about it was killed by your grandfather.""How come you are still alive?""Because I never existed in the first place. Your father entrusted everything here to me, immediately he sensed what was about to happen. I had to stay here and manage the affairs of the companies, establishments and enormous wealth.'"When you say wealth, does that mean that we are rich here?""Very."Taking a deep breath,
Twisted Mates. SORTING THE DILEMA
Jake stepped out of the vehicle holding out his arm for Freya who immediately joined him, linking her arms to his. If not that Jake rented the entire place, cameras would be flashing in their faces and most people would mistake them for a celebrity couple at how glamorous they looked.This happened to be one of the most spectacular and expensive restaurants in Oklahoma. It was located close to a seaside, with a beautiful sitting area donned with white and red roses. Thousands of candles were lit in every corner. On their table, they had their played and cutleries wrapped in white and red napkins too. The fresh air and calm waves made the environment peaceful.Freya, seeing such a beautiful and romantic site, her mouth dropped open. "You might catch a fly," Jake joked."Huh?" "I am talking about you leaving your mouth open. Close it, so you don't swallow a fly." Kissing on the lips, "come. We have to explore the entire night," Jake said, leading her to their seat.Settling down, a vi
Twisted Mates. BLUE BALLS OR NOT
Dante kept being grumpy with all the explanations Declan gave him. He was trying to clarify the shares, different companies and assets he had. So far, there were twenty sub-companies, five major companies and a net worth of five billion dollars. Don't even get started on the cars, private jets and houses. They were uncountable."You talk about a restaurant and hotel being our major investment. Why would my father ever go into those?""It wasn't your father's idea, but your mother's. She was so passionate about feeding and housing people. Within a year of establishing them, they were already doing so well."Whenever his mother's name was mentioned, Dante got so emotional and wanted to feel some kind of connection with her. He forever hated being motherless. If he could turn back the hands of time, he would do that for the sake of his mother. Yes, he was overwhelmed with his father's demons and training but, his mother's heart battled them all."Take me to both. I want to see what they

Twisted Mates. EPILOGUE
A two-year-old boy held Freya's hand, his tiny fingers wrapped around hers. He looked exactly like Dante, with Freya's kind eyes. The little folk tried taking fast strides as he walked with Freya. “Archer Blue Dante, come on, slow down. You know you have shorter legs,” Freya spoke to the boy as if he was an adult.The little boy, as if reading meaning into his mother's scolding, pouted his lips and froze. Freya bent to his level and swooped him off his feet, tickling the sweet boy. He writhed and struggled in her hold before she slouched him over her shoulder once more.She was taking a stroll through the pack house, heading for the prison. Today was the visiting day for prisoners, and she always took out time to visit them, especially the Tahilas. Under Freya, that system was reformed. Tahilas were now prisoners who committed acts like treason, murder, rape, and domestic violence. Yes, she didn't want any negative strings in her kingdom. Even with that, she visited them, made sure the
Twisted Mates. A NEW ERA
Months later…Freya was dressed in a blue princess gown with diamonds around the waist region and a crown on her head. A baby boy was draped over her arms, dressed in white and sleeping peacefully. A soft knock on the door and it was opened.“Are you ready?” Dante asked, leaning to kiss Freya. He was dressed in black trousers, a white shirt with black cloaks and a crown. His had more pearls in red than that of Freya.Looking at them, the baby in Freya's arms looked like a replica of Dante except for his eyes. They screamed that of Freya. He was so beautiful and innocent.“Yes, I am, Daddy,” Freya added with a chuckle.“Keep doing that, and we won't make it to our own Coronation, Luna. Don't be naughty. Our son is here.”These past months have been filled with peace, love, and growth for Freya and Dante. Ariel and her dad had been imprisoned along with the followers of Ares who survived. The Blood Moon pack had also merged into one, with Dante ruling. All the supporters who fought besid
Twisted Mates. THE REBIRTH OF AN ALPHA AND HIS LUNA
Freya and Dante lay dead as Dante's men arrived. Theo was growling with anger. The survivors looked as good as dead. Injured in all parts of their bodies, they were bleeding. Hope was lost.“We have to take them back to the pack house. We can't leave our Alpha here like a common rogue. Now that Ares has killed him, Ares would be regrouping to attack the GrandAlpha and our side of the pack. He would completely want to take control of the Blood Moon pack,” Oswald said.Wyatt, with tears streaming down his eyes, reached for Dante in a bid to pay his respect. Seeing how Dante and Freya's blood has gathered in a pool, he wept harder. It was like a trail of wine which found its fountain and then formed a circle, except it was their blood.“I hope we win this war and your sacrifices are not in vain,” he whispered.Standing to return to the others, something happened.The moon, which was only, but a hint, came to be full, shining lavishly at where the blood had gathered. The whooshed and calm
Twisted Mates. STABBED TWICE
Dante examined Freya's neck and saw that the rope didn't do much damage. He scooped her up and tried carrying her back to the car but was intercepted by Ares who he hadn't noticed his presence.He slashed Dante's knees with his claws. “Leaving the party already?” he queried.Groaning as he held firmly onto Freya, careful not to drop her. “I would love to stay, but my Mate is unwell. A bastard messed with her.”Again Ares advanced towards him, but Dante was rapid to move out of the but he got pricked with a syringe instead. Dante turned to see the source of his pain, and there stood Bryant Bryce, the Alpha of Dark Pack. From the dizziness Dante was fighting, he had injected him with silver mixed with wolfsbane.Dante began to cough. “I knew you were too much of a pussy to be working alone. I never knew that you would join with the weak ones just to take what's not yours. Bryant, you took your opportunity well.” “Let's say that I seize power when the time is right,” Ares said.Freya wa
Twisted Mates. DON'T TOUCH HIS MATE
After the attack, Dante declared a few days to serve as a recuperating time for his people. The dead were buried with their loved ones in constant mourning, and the injured were treated. Most of the guests who were from the other packs had their people money their bodies back to their packs.He was fuming that one had dared step on his authority. Now was the time to unite his entire pack. Dante tried to reach his second in command but to no avail. Instead, a member of his old pack had found him, saying, “Ares has gone mad.”His suspicions had to be confirmed. After he vacated the throne to find Freya, he suffered a series of attacks. No one knew about his absence except Area. It only pointed out that Ares had been behind it all along and now, he had united with his enemies to bring Dante down. An unforgivable sin.Dante was growing frustrated at the slow pace of things. With no choice, he put his trust in Wyatt and the web thing Freya had created. Every second seemed to drag longer as
Twisted Mates. THE GALLOW
Freya had only managed to lay on her bed when Ariel's condescending laughter woke her up. “What now?” she mumbled to herself.“Guess who's in luck?” Ariel questioned.“You?”“Oh, dear,” she croaked. Ariel snapped her fingers and Freya's cell was opened. “Alpha Ares wants the execution now. I guess he got tired of your presence,” she happily announced.Hearing that, Freya's heart sank. She was getting killed sooner than she had expected. Before she could utter a word, strong arms gripped her, dragging her unwilling body out. “Ariel, if I get the chance to survive this, I promise you, your head will be on a stick. I don't care if your father put you up to this or if you willingly decided to,” she ranted, bashing the men holding her.“Oh, well. Empty threats. A dead girl can't come back for revenge.”Freya had been dragged to the eager crowd outside. They were roaring and enjoying their merriment. A burning fire had also been lit in the middle, exposing the gallow by the side.“Tonight,
Twisted Mates. THE WITCH
“That’s no way to treat our guest. Remove her chain,” Ares ordered as soon as Freya got in.The guard did as he was told. When her hands were free, she rubbed her wrist and groaned in pain. The guard bowed and left.“Don’t just stand there. Help yourself,” Ares ordered Freya.She didn’t have to be asked twice as she grabbed a cup of water, downing it with greed before moving to dish a plate of everything on the table. Forgetting her manners, Freya ate hungrily, filling the yearning with emptiness in her body.Ares chuckled and watched her in amusement. “Go ahead, have some more. You’ll need all your strength for what’s to come.”When Freya could eat no more, she collapsed on her chair, patting her belly. “Can we now get to the reason you summoned me?” she began. “I know it’s not to feed and take care of Dante’s property. You couldn't care less.”Ares nodded to Freya and pulled out his chair, standing and walking over to Freya. When he sat on the top of her table, hanging one leg out, F
Twisted Mates. THE COUNCIL
Furniture was broken, tables overturned with food spilled all over the floor. The floor was decorated with blood, splashed across the earth. People were laying in heaps on the floor. Dante saw Maya’s body lying protectively near Jodie’s, and he howled again. He was stable as Oswald had taken out most of the arrows, cutting him to aid the poison in his system flow out. He was stable, and he decided to stumble around through the place, kneeling to them, “check around and see if we have survivors,” he ordered.Just as he wanted to stand, he reached for Maya and felt her skin. She was still alive, and her eyes flew open in shock. He moved Maya to feel Jodie, and she was alive too and well. They were just using their survival mode since they were overpowered.“Thank goodness,” he breathed. Helping them up, he led them away from the dead bodies and settled them on a chair.Standing up, he surveyed the rest of the place, taking in the damages. With the help of Oswald who looked too okay as
Twisted Mates. TAKEN
Dante was grunting in pain as the entire place was filled with wolfs-bane, weakening him. Ariel reached for the unconscious Freya and carelessly dragged her body through the rough ground. Dante stretched his hands in a bid to hold back Freya but was stabbed by Nefline with an arrow laced with sliver, making him screech in pain.“You should have had that sex with me. Maybe I wouldn’t have turned bitter,” she whispered into his ear, licking him.Dante fell unconscious as he watched the entire place littered with bodies. His sight blurred out as he saw Nefline slit one of his enforcer’s throats. It took four hours for Dante to regain conscientiousness. When he did, he transformed into his wolf, howling as loud as he could. Thereafter, he fell to the floor, weakened by both the poison in his system and the rush of anger consuming every nerve in his system.* * *It has been six hours since Freya has been made to walk. Neither food nor water has been given to her. Her feet were bruised be
