Chapter 1
Sansa’s Pov
“Run!!”
“How long are you gonna run away, baby?” His voice was reaching my ears, instilling profound anxiety in me when I couldn’t see him, and his mere voice terrified me.
“Don’t be shy, baby, your alpha is here to claim you,” he said sweetly, making sure his voice got through to me.
I was sweating in the cold, running for how long I couldn’t remember, running as if I couldn’t stop, as if my life depended on the steps I was taking to get away.
“Baby? Where have you gone?” He was having pleasure while looking around.
I hid behind the largest rock as his soldiers passed by, trying to steady my breathing and calm my racing heart.
“Farkas saw them here near the river, so they must be around,” his guy predicted.
I peered out from behind the rock with my traumatized eyes as the man hunting me stood with his 6 men, appearing like their alpha. A strong masculine personality.
All had the longest grey beard touching their chest, long hair, dragon tattoos on their faces, and masculine bodies like their Alpha. The alpha covered his face behind the black mask.
“Bring her to me, Alive!” Alpha said as he looked around. His piercing eyes had previously stopped on me, so I moved away from him.
I held my breath as his footsteps approached, and as they became louder, I resumed my run.
My hair was flapping in the wind, my vision was fuzzy in the mist and cold, and my eyes were always looking for a secure place to hide. I was running for my life in a blue nightgown on a snowy night, barefoot. My body was as cold as ice.
The terrifying voice of various animals. In the middle of the night in a terrifying forest, I was about to lose my breath, my body was numb, and my heart was going to explode.
I looked at him when he was directly in front of me, our eyes locked, my heart raced faster than ever, and the last moment of my life arrived when I looked around and saw no one but him. I began to run oppositely.
“How long will you run?” alpha yelled behind me as he led his men after me.
“You will never escape,” he laughed louder as if I were an ant he could kill with a single modest effort. With his people, he was chasing me like a hungry hound. His dark sea eyes were fixed on me.
I observed a young woman running ahead of me a few inches. Just like me, the odd people were going to eat me alive if I didn’t flee.
She was panting, and it was painful for her to continue. Her split-second decision could lead to her death.
“Now it’s time for you to die,” he declared.
As I returned my gaze to the hunter, who was attempting to apprehend me with a long fancy stick bearing the face of a dragon on the edge.
I collided with the tree in front of me and flipped to the ground. For a few seconds, my eyesight became blurry, and I was catching my breath when my entire body became paralyzed and I felt dizzy.
As he approached me, I made every effort to move my body. With my heavy headache, I pushed my body back with both hands.
He was advancing slowly, tormenting me because he knew I couldn’t move.
“I said something, Remember?” He inquired teasingly.
“Can you tell me who you are? What do you expect from me?” I was terrified, my voice shaking.
“You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape me,” he remarked calmly as his men gathered around him.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” When he didn’t seem to acknowledge me, I remarked in a trembling voice.
“It was for your own good baby. You didn’t trust me, you didn’t believe me from the beginning,” he teased.
“I swear to God, I --- ” He interrupted me in the middle of a sentence.
“Did I not warn you? However, you did not listen,” he said.
I was quaking in the bush, wearing nothing but my blue nightgown, as I heard the sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling, and sensed that a stranger was hunting me like a hungry dog in the night air.
I kept asking myself, “How did I get here?” What exactly is going on? I was working hard to figure it out.
“Now bear the consequence,” he whispered as his terrifying eyes locked on me.
“I don’t kn --- ” he cut me off in the middle of my sentence again.
“I am your mate, but you chose him over me,” he snarled, becoming enraged in an instant.
“Mate? My mate? I don’t underst ---,” When a stranger told me something unbelievable, I was upset about the circumstance. When he kept cutting my statement in the middle, I noticed a gathering of his men surrounding me more closely.
As he crouched down closer, he removed his black mask. The dragon tattoo covered his entire face. He had a scar on his left cheek and kept looking at me when he got on my nerves.
“What if I kill him right in front of your eyes and forcefully mark you, whether you like it or not, and make you mine?” he added seductively as he moved closer to me on his knees with a grin.
“I---” he wouldn’t let me say.
“Can you tell me how you feel about that?” he inquired softly, with a seductive tune
“Listen, you are mistaken. I am not the one you are looking for. I have never seen you before. We have never met. Trust me, I am not the---” I murmured shakily.
“Raven Elsher,” a woman’s confident voice called out from behind me.I heard the rustle of her dress as I spun around and saw the attractive woman sitting on the ground. She was expecting a child. I was astonished to hear the name of my father, who had died when I was 14 years old; how could she pronounce his name?
What was her name, and how did she know about my father? That piqued my interest and left me speechless.
Her lustrous long hair was slowly swaying to the rhythm of the breeze, and her milky face seemed even more gorgeous in the moonlight.
Anyone could fall for her when she was attractive. I’d never seen such a stunning woman in my life. When I couldn’t take my gaze away from her.
Scary Alpha was crawling in my direction on his knees, gaining closer with the passion I could feel in his eyes. My heart began to rush. I turned aside from his approach to the woman.
“He is the one, and he will be the only one,” she replied flatly, her gaze fixated on the Alpha.
When she didn’t flinch or hesitate, he slapped her across the face.
Chapter 2 Sansa's Pov "Stop talking! You should be ashamed of saying that human's name, Bit**," he yelled fiercely. "Why? Are you envious of that person?" When she didn't appear to be terrified of him, she teased with a grin on her face.He grabbed her hair when the anguish was over, and she was in a lot of discomfort. "He is a worthless human being." He raged, "How dare you think about him when humans are our enemies?""No, he is not an enemy, he has no desire for war, he is----" He cut her in the middle of her sentence as she was straining to talk in pain. "How long would it take to introduce me to him? How long are you going to make yourself a fool? He is Falkor's son, a brutal bloodthirsty hunter who is trying to track us down," he said, yanking her hair to make her feel more pain.Did he just mention Falkor, the bloodthirsty hunter? How did he become aware of my grandfather? I had no idea my grandfather was a hunter who used to hunt werewolves; I assumed he was just a sheriff
Chapter 3 Sansa Pov It disgusted the woman because the cruelest alpha was forcing her to do something she despised.I grew apprehensive while viewing the scenario because everyone was staring at the Alpha and the sad pregnant mother who was about to lose her child."I have every right to keep you by my side," he blustered as he misused his strength and control. I walked slowly to escape, but the man looked at me for a second and I had to stop like a statue to avoid causing difficulty for myself. Why was I there? What part did I play in that scenario? I couldn't recall anything because it was happening for the first time. Who were those people in my life? I kept asking myself when I realized the incident had something to do with my father.The mystery I was trying to unravel when a pregnant woman claimed my father's return after he died mysteriously on my 14th birthday eight years ago."I can't be anyone else when he's already marked me," she explained. "He can't be your mate, he
Chapter 4 Sansa’s Pov Even though I didn't care about anyone else, it amazed me to see him alive and said “Father!” with a trembling voice. I mustered the will to stand up and couldn't stop my tears from falling as I walked. I couldn’t stop my tears from falling as I walked closer to him. “We were talking about you, Raven Elsher, the man in the woods looking for his wife,” the nasty Alpha mocked. “You’ve made trouble for yourself, Samuel,” my father told the ruthless Alpha.I shouted my father's name with all my might, but as I stumbled and a pebble caught my foot, I crashed to the ground. My teary eyes were fixed on him as I began to cry because I couldn’t believe I was looking at him after 8 years of life.“You’re acting braver than before, and I like that,” harsh Alpha stated. “Stop using her as an excuse to reach out to me, I am here,” Father Raven replied calmly.Cruel Alpha was laughing to demonstrate how small and insignificant my father was to him. Alpha removed his hand
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 wer
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 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.
