Chapter 5
Sansa's pov
"Please put a stop to them!" She begged, but Samuel remained silent, unwilling to speak when Father Raven was dying.
"Say you love me," harsh Samuel asked, which she despised accepting.
It was difficult for a woman to speak such things to the alpha, who she despised and who was about to destroy her family right in front of her eyes. My father would have died in a minute if another minute had gone.
"I love you," her eyes were focused on my father when she confessed to the merciless Alpha Samuel.
"I can't feel you, baby," he said, Samuel grumbled in a pleasant tone.
With a heavy heart and a broken voice, the woman turned her sorrowful look to Samuel and murmured, "I love you, Samuel."
Samuel's grin did not fade as he accomplished something impossible for him.
Samuel leaned in closer to her as he gently stroked her face and moved her hair away from her face. When she didn't move an inch and had given up on escaping from him.
When Raven was being attacked by werewolves, Samuel kissed her passionately as her gaze was locked on her bloodied husband.
The silence was dancing to the beat of the wickedness, and tears of anguish flowed like a river. Emotions were forced to prison. A small breeze could push them over the edge, and I could tell how weak they got after fighting like a warrior, wounded, and ripped, but still breathing, by seeing their helplessness.
They were both speaking with their gaze, and another tear dropped from her eye as cruel Alpha Samuel refused to let her lips go. She tightened her fist but couldn't get away from the man he despised the most.
When my father never told me about his secret affair, she was an example of pure love. Or he told me, but I was too little to understand?
"Leave her alone, you jerk," angry father Raven said as he gathered the guts to rise.
Alpha was a cruel character. Samuel became a trauma for me when I was expecting to be rid of him as quickly as possible, but the time he retained in his hands was a source of anxiety for me. My heart was beating fast, and I was terrified of the nasty Samuel.
When cruel Alpha Samuel saw Father Raven, he disengaged his lips from hers and began to chuckle.
"Stop it," nasty Samuel yelled.
The merciless Alpha gripped her chin with his right hand and assessed a minor injury on her left cheek that occurred when he yanked her hair.
"If you had said that before, things would have been different, but I am glad you accepted the truth before any destruction, good girl," he boasted.
Father Raven was attempting to approach the woman while being held back by his men. When her sad eyes screamed for rescue, the woman said nothing.
When it came to saving the unborn, Father Raven was at a loss for words.
When wicked Samuel was carrying the woman away from Father Raven, their eyes were fixated on each other.
_BANG_! _BANG_!!
When the bullets shredded their hearts, all the pack members were on the floor in an instant, shuddering in misery, and some of them began coughing blood. Except for Samuel, they all got shot. He was taken aback and searched for the shooter.
_Footsteps_
"Looking for me?" Grandfather Falkor emerged from the bush, holding a hefty rifle and his swagger was out of this world, wearing his favorite hat on his head, a long black fine coat, and pants.
Grandfather Falkor was walking slowly in the middle, a cigar between his lips, and a triumphant look on his face.
Samuel realized he was alone and became a little hesitant to witness the savage hunter of his time, Falkor Grant, who terrified all the races.
A completely turned werewolf jumped on Grandfather Falkor without even looking at his left side, and he shot the wolf with the perfect aim, bluesy, straight through its heart. The wolf died in the air and flipped to the ground.
"Dogs can't be changed, they chase after their tails," my Grandfather Falkor grinned.
My father, like me, was astounded to see my grandfather. He was my only hope of seeing my father alive and avoiding the harsh Alpha Samuel.
My father and grandfather appeared to have aged in reverse, as they both looked remarkably young.
Grandfather Falkor observed my father's injury but said nothing when my father avoided eye contact with him.
"You have to pay the price for killing my man Falkor," Samuel yelled angrily, despite his fear on the inside.
Grandfather Falkor began to laugh aloud. Samuel ran and was about to strike Grandfather when I noticed another man throw Samuel away before he touched Grandfather Falkor.
"Not so fast," another assailant whispered to Samuel as Samuel collapsed on the floor. A familiar voice reached my ear, and my mind raced with numerous ideas.
I smelled his scent, which was incredible for me, even if I was praying that he wasn't right there while I had doubts that he was right there in front of my eyes. When Alpha Xavier turned over to face me, my eyes were wide open.
Xavier Ronan, the Alpha of the Oak pack, who claimed me as his bride by force on my wedding day, by the law, pronouncement of wonder.
I had to abandon my first love, Logan, because of Xavier; I had to accept Xavier by force to preserve Logan.
When he held me hostage, in his massive mansion, I felt like a sparrow trapped in a cage. He was the meanest, most manipulative, toxic, domineering, psychopath, and cruelest Alpha I had ever seen.
Alpha Xavier appeared to be 21 years old, with medium-length hair, a clean shave, blue eyes, and the most terrifying and angry grimace on his face.
He began to walk in my direction, making me even more apprehensive; I never wanted to see him again, but why was Alpha Xavier there? What was his relationship with my father?
My heart was rushing faster with each stride he took toward me as if he could see me. As he got closer, I took four steps back and smacked into the tree.
Chapter 6 Sansa's Pov "The girl is in a trap, the rat is out to prey," said Grandpa Falkor."You have not done well to interrupt my party," Samuel replied angrily to Falkor, going slowly in the middle to show he wasn't reluctant."Everyone knows in the underworld I am pretty famous as a party crasher, I think you have forgotten how famous I am in your world, don't be a stranger to me, it hurts," Grandpa Falkor teased with a chuckle while exhaling a cigar smoke from his mouth to show off.Samuel watched all of his men die on the floor, covered in blood, while attempting to appear brave in front of the savage hunter, all of whom were terrified of him at the time. "You still have no power to kill me, because the Darkfur pack would not leave you, Falkor, you know how powerful the Darkfur pack is," nasty Samuel remarked. "I am not here to kill, no, no, I am not in the mood today, I am here to meet you," Grandpa Falkor remarked cheerfully, disregarding my father as if he didn't exist.Xa
Chapter 7Sansa's Pov Letters'Love, it's been a while since I've thought about you recently, it's been years since I've seen you, but your gorgeous face is still stuck in my head. I still visit the locations where we used to spend our greatest moments together.Walking down the beach with your hand in mine, while we were both lost in each other's eyes as deep as the ocean, your lovely smile made me feel alive. Those were the days I longed for. Back when you were mine.My life has changed since the day I met you; you were the best thing that ever happened to me; no borders, no restrictions, nothing could keep us apart. I believed I was strong enough to let you go, that I could live my life without you, but I was mistaken; I had no clue how wretched I would be without you.Your fragrance is still present. I can smell you in our bedroom, and your old outfits are still hanging in the closet, giving me the impression that you are still here. I haven't touched or changed anything in our
Chapter 8 Sansa's Pov When time froze for some, their hearts raced faster, and every second felt like a decade, with worry on their minds and 1000 thoughts flying through their heads.I kept asking myself questions for which I had no answers to calm myself down since my curiosity was unabated and I wanted to know more about the predicament I had found myself in.The conclusion I came to was that it was not the past, I was certain, I was seeing a dream, my father had never died before, he died on the day I turned 14, the same day my mother died years before.When an unknown woman was crying and screaming miserably and no one dared to interrupt her, a younger version of my father lay unmoving on the floor.My eyes welled up with tears, the same emotions I felt when I lost my father for the second time; my broken heart had been wounded by the agony of losing my father so long ago, and now I was facing the death of my father once more. I kept my cool while trying hard not to cry.Even th
Chapter 9Sansa's Pov Hello! Hello?Is anybody out there?Helloooo?Can anybody hear me? My voice reverberated, and I could hear my three voices back; I became stranded; now what would I face? I couldn't think straight after hours of walking and running, trying to find a way out; my hope was fading. I was hurrying, breathing heavily, the stillness was killing me, I was alone in the "nothing zone," the blank and black everywhere, I began to look for a way out, but no matter where I went or how long I ran, all I could see was blackness everywhere.I remembered standing in the freezing woodland, staring at my father's lifeless body, another trauma I was experiencing as Xavier was torturing my father. Even my subconscious mind understood I was watching a nightmare, but the human heart inside my chest generally reacted like humans. I lived my entire life among humans while my father sheltered me from the underworld; he may have already known about the awful realities of the underworld
Chapter 10 Sansa's POV The Pronouncement of Wonder? That curse law that I was suffering from, Xavier claimed me as his bride, how could he make another contract under the same law? According to the law of the pronouncement of wonder, only one bride can be claimed once in a lifetime, and no member of the Oak pack would create any other connection besides his bride.In the Oak pack tradition, the claimed bride would be more prized than any true mate link, although other packs valued the real mate relationship.Because of Grandpa Falkor's surprising disclosure, Xavier turned to face him, and the table appeared to turn. Xavier looked speechless. When Grandpa Falkor seemed to be in command of the situation. Grandpa Falkor remarked solemnly. "I offered you the pronouncement of wonder." The terrified pregnant woman gingerly rose to her feet, putting her stomach with one hand and experiencing pain in her injuries."Wait, what are you saying? Are you even in your right mind?" The woman wa
Love Is A CurseChapter 11 Sansa's POV "Mother." "Mom." "Mama." I was speaking to her, and the silence broke my heart. "I'm sorry, but," my mother Lucinda replied, her voice shaking.Grandpa Falkor's attention went to her, and he heard something from her that he hadn't expected."Claiming by the brutal, merciless, cursed alpha, my child does not deserve that," she murmured helplessly."Did my son deserve the state he's in today?" Grandpa Falkor inquired regretfully.My mother shook her head, trembling, and crying. "It's my fault." When Grandpa Falkor fought to contain his emotions with a heavy heart."Raven would have been living his normal happy life without me if we hadn't met, not by fate, not by chance, we both would not have been suffering," she burst out crying."Mom," my voice never reached her, but I wanted to talk to her, to console her when I sat next to her. Seeing tears pour from her huge eyes as she regretted meeting my father."You will only lose your son; I will l
Chapter 12 Sansa's POV My childhood home was in the heart of the city, and I spent my days with my father and grandfather, just like any other teenager.Living among humans, unconscious of my true origin, I began to notice changes in my body when I was 13, I began to detect new kinds of aromas from afar, and I began to run quicker than usual, human murmurs I could hear from afar.Things were never the same when I was changing; it was part of our lives; nothing ever remains the same, things change, and our bodies, minds, lifestyle, thoughts, and choices change through time; I used to think and try to accept the strange as ordinary.I had no one to confide in regarding my illness, which included nightmares, concerns, anxiety, and loneliness, among other things, and I never spoke honestly to my father about it.When I entered the house on my 14th birthday, I noticed that not everything was in its proper place. Everything had been destroyed.Windows that had previously afforded a glimpse
Chapter 13 Sansa's POVMy mother yanked Xavier's hand away from her neck without hesitation as the conversation heated up."You don't know who you're dealing with," struggling to suppress his rage, Xavier muttered."You will know by the time, I will make sure, trust me," she stated confidently, teasing him."Why am I the only one who is clueless here?" Grandpa Falkor inquired as to when he took their first step toward them."This isn't fair, I finished the deal, his breathing is stable, he'll wake up by any time, his wounds will heal by then, and he'll be healthy again, but that seemed you have changed your mind," when Grandpa Falkor could hear him again, Xavier inquired my mother curiously."You cursed Raven, if I had known you used Rigurlic to save him, I would have let him die like that," she declared fearlessly, looking into his eyes."You were not ready, and now you have changed your mind, the deal is over, and I ----" she dared to slash Xavier in half."Saving and cursing are no
Chapter 72 The figure emerged from the shadows, acquiring shape gradually in the soft moonlight. I breathed a sigh of relief as the mysterious presence solidified. It was Levine, his face solemn and sad. My stress dissipated when I recognized him. I couldn't help but smile. "You know Xavier married Marina," I said Levine, a smile on my lips.His response was regretful, and his voice was heavy with disappointment. "Are you truly content?" Levine queried, his face betraying his anguish."Of course," I said firmly, my excitement obvious. "Finally, he has Marina by his side, the one he loves, and—"Levine spoke before I could finish, his words cutting through my excitement. "You should not be happy about it. Xavier didn't marry Marina to get away from you. He did it to keep you close, to keep you close to him forever.""What exactly do you mean?" I inquired, my perplexity growing.Levine disclosed a shocking reality to me.
Chapter 71 The voice of the Unknown Pack Leader trembled as he said what we were all thinking. "How on earth is this even possible?"As he met eyes with the Unknown Pack Leader, Levine's expression was a mix of rage and perplexity. "What are you doing here?"As we all watched the unimaginable unfold in front of us, the crowd began to murmur in a mixture of fascination and shock."I never send my guests away empty-handed, and I always offer them with enough amusement to remember for a lifetime," said Xavier with a sly grin to the Unknown Pack Leader.Members of the unknown group began brandishing their firearms and knives, bracing themselves for a fight.Levine, still stunned, turned to Xavier for answers. "What on earth is going on, Xavier?""I invited them here," said Xavier quietly. "They've come to pay the price for causing you pain."Levine's attention switched to me, his eyes inquisitive. It was a confusin
Chapter 70 As he continued to treat my wound, Xavier's fingers moved gently. "However, it is sometimes at these unexpected moments that we discover something wonderful."My cheeks flushed, and I averted my gaze, trying to disguise my emotions. "You're a philosopher, aren't you?"He leaned in closer, his words low and heartfelt. "Only when I'm with someone who changes my perspective on the world."When our gazes locked, the world around us seemed to fade away. The unpleasantness of the circumstance had evolved into a common understanding.He was different from the Xavier I knew in the present; he was kind, and he treated me properly although Xavier never treated me well in the present, not once.Xavier's words poured over me like a calm ocean wind, drawing me closer with each word. His eyes, as deep and tempting as the great sea, enslaved me. Frozen in a moment, the world around us seemed to melt away."Perhaps you're he
Chapter 69 Xavier made a quick and smooth approach. He approached my side with almost unreal slowness, every fraction of a second stretching into an eternity amid battle.His strong and soothing hand wrapped around my waist, drawing me in with an intimacy that sent thrills down my spine. Our bodies squeezed and merged. I could feel his heartbeat, a steady, repetitive beating that reverberated deep within me.My hair swirled through the air as he clutched me close. He quickly shielded me from harm's way after sensing the threat behind me that I had missed. A whispered promise of protection among the chaos.My eyes widened as I saw a horrific sight in front of us: a demon from the gigantic demon army, its body covered in the awful color of fresh blood. Its razor-sharp teeth and a crimson-stained sword made me tremble.I realized something in that heart-stopping moment. Xavier had guarded me from this terrifying peril, a brave deed hidden from view. He had put his own life in danger to
Chapter 68 Xavier, the calm voice amid the turmoil, interrupted. "Gentlemen, we must find a solution to close these mistrust and resentment gaps."Anthony, evidently irritated, fired back at Falkor. "Despite spending years hiding in the shadows, you appear remarkably self-assured, Falkor."Falkor, unfazed by Anthony's insults, reacted with a smug grin. "But, my darling vampire, the shadows frequently hold the most valuable secrets."The chamber became tenser with each exchange, weighted with hostility and the weight of history. Xavier's patience remained steadfast, a credit to his leadership. "Enough of this, you two. We are up against a shared foe who threatens us all. Isn't it time to set aside old grudges for the greater good?"Anthony's rage, a boiling tempest within, found expression in a final, cutting sentence. "I'm eager to work with anyone who sees that the past belongs in the past."Michael's voice trembled with real e
Chapter 67 My gaze stayed riveted on a heartbreaking scene amidst the upheaval and confusion that engulfed the battlefield. As three merciless Demons closed in on him, Xavier, the strong Alpha, confronted his imminent destiny with a courageous attitude. The Oak pack members and Vampires who surrounded us echoed my sense of helplessness, their features carved with dread in the face of an unbeatable foe.A revolver sat dormant in my grasp, its promise for deliverance thwarted by my hesitation. Though my heart desired to change the path of history, changing the past and the future, the intricate web of fate held me hostage. A bitter regret passed through me: if circumstances had permitted, I could have stood as Logan's beloved, free of Xavier's claim.If Xavier died here, he wouldn't be present to claim me, and the pronouncement of wonder law that united us would stay unformed. His death would not result in Levine's death, saving him from a gruesom
Chapter 66"But be warned, I shall brook neither violence nor the stain of inappropriate behavior," retorted Xavier, his voice an adamant assertion. "Your home will be comfortable, but keep in mind that any irresponsible activity that leads to self-destruction will be met with rapid resolution. I hope you're not going down the same foolish path and make no silly mistakes as previously."My presence seemed to break through the curtain of their conversation. Elodie's eyes met mine, causing my heart to race and leading me to take two steps back, covered in instinctual unease."The journey ahead has many uncertainty for you," said Elodie, her voice laced with mystique reaching my ears. "There will be decisions to make, ones that will carry the weight of life and death, salvation, and sacrifice. You will face the most intricate issues to authenticate your way through these trials. I sense a stroke of luck and an unknown source with mysterious energy leading you
Chapter 65Adam's watery eyes welled up as he began, his voice slightly shaking, "These times hold an extreme sensitivity." Towering darkness created by the invading dark army has sparked a desperate desire for salvation in everyone's hearts. Who, in the face of such impending danger, would dare to trust that their own pack would come to their aid? My mistake was a lack of faith, a failure to appreciate the breadth of your dedication."Xavier's words were gentle, and they could heal even the most broken hearts. "Buddy," he muttered, a delicate breeze carrying his words like a whisper, "In this struggle, I stand here not for myself, but as a protector for every soul among us. Our ties will stand the test of time."A stark difference emerged between the Xavier of old and the Elder Phycho Xavier who stood before me now, a tapestry constructed from two distinct periods of his life. Young Xavier wore his heart on his sleeve, drowning in sentiments and emotions.
Chapter 64As the first shock wore off, the Oak pack members began to feel uneasy. Their expressions conveyed uncertainty, mistrust, and residual animosity. Nonetheless, their devotion to Xavier and the exigency of the circumstance held them hostage.Xavier, the enigma that he was, stood before us, a light of unexpected hope. He was noted for making decisions that challenged convention. This night was no exception, with a gesture that could determine our collective fate.We were about to embark on a risky adventure that would test not only our strength but also our potential for change and progress, with the enemy-turned-ally at our side.In a world on the verge of disaster, Xavier's decision rang out like a clarion call, reverberating through the hearts of all who witnessed it. The old fights would become legends, replaced by a new story of togetherness, teamwork, and unrelenting will to confront the evil that threatened to destroy us all.
