"New!"
NIC: The day went by quickly and before we knew it, it was already night. After honoring and burying our fallen ones, we retired to our rooms. Hearing the mournful cries of our pack members broke my heart. Isaac is still clearly upset of Tyler's death. He's basically our second father. But I'm more scared of Isaac right now, because he's quiet. He's out for Dylan's blood. I'm sure of it. Gabe and I were heartbroken upon finding out that there were pups involved. Their life barely started and they died a horrible death. I'm currently comforting Zannicus. I'm sure if Nica's here, she would be bawling. She loves pups as much as Zannicus does. Speaking of that girl, I wonder how she is. I miss all her nagging. After the meeting, we were still waiting on Alpha Ryder's call but no one was answering. All the members are upstairs while we were in the living room. No one spoke as we were still in mourning. Then I remembered something, "Ronan." The man glanced at me, "I forget to inform
RONAN: After changing into my clothes, Zannie and I made our to the edge of the forest. The sky tinted a pale blue with purple hue as we snuggled into our warm jackets against the chilly air. We walked in silence and ensured that we weren't being tailed. The house disappeared behind us and was replaced with nothing but trees. Zannicus lead me to where the group was ten minutes later, the sight ripped out a laughter from me. Everyone was leaning against the tree with their mouths open, some on the forest floor. Gabe was using Isaac's butt as a pillow who was also on the ground. Nic, Seth and Francis were leaning against each other; Francis in the middle and the two on either side of him. I was trying so hard to reign in my laughter but to no avail. Both Zannicus and I erupted into a much louder laughter which made everyone jolt up, alarmed. Nic and Seth slipped but quickly stumbled up. Isaac stood up so quickly he ended up kicking Gabe off who yelped. Once we've managed to calm ou
ZANNICUS: Terence lunged at me in a flurry of movement but I had anticipated his attack and merely side stepped and watched as he stumbled and skidded to a stop. Just as he turned, I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my shoulder, dry leaves riding along with the movement and fluttered down my head. The harsh impact elicited a pained yell. He grabbed his shoulder as I circled him, "GET UP!!" I growled loudly. He flinched but immediately got to his feet. He lunged again; both arms extended- which was a mistake. Before his hands could grab me, I extended my right hand again, shot inbetween his open arms and grabbed his neck. He choked as I lifted him up in the air then slammed him down on the ground. Terence whined as his chest released hacking coughs. ______ Those who bare witness to the fight winced and hissed as if they were the ones who was hurt. Zannicus deliberately allowed his opponent to recover and stand up. There was a look that flashed through the Omega's eyes but it
"Hello Zannicus." Startled, I turned to see a man clad in dark clothes standing in the middle of the living room. Grateful that my grip didn't loosen, I gently set the vase I was cleaning down and clasped my hands as I slowly approached the man. He seemed to be at least 18 or 19 years old. 'He wasn't there before. How come I didn't sense him?' He's tall; maybe an inch or so than Alpha, strong jawline, perfect nose, green eyes and his red hair styled into a quiff. "H-hello Sir. May I ask who you are?" I can't help but make myself as tiny as possible before him because he reminded me of Alpha but he surprised me by crouching down to my level. "No need to be afraid little one. I bear you no harm. How are you?' "I'm fine Sir. Can I ask how it is you came to know my name?" He smiled, "I just do." I don't know why, but I felt oddly comfortable around him. "What's your name Sir?" I grinned and he moved to speak but then a familiar voice echoed thunderously throughout the room making
RONAN: After a long but productive day of intense training, we trudged our way back home. The men were improving very quickly now, much to our see delight. My friends were busy chatting while I was busy watching my mate sway his hips. I bit my lip, 'Good Goddess. I could feel my eyes darken at the sight of that bubble butt. I want to-' "....-ere Ronan?" "Huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to Gabe who was walking beside me. His gaze flickered over to my mate then back at me followed by a wide knowing grin. "Soooo. Is the reward gonna be loud?" I humiliated myself by tripping at that comment and those near us bursted out into chuckles. "Wh-what-...!" I huffed, "I d-don't know what yo-you're talking about." Their chuckles turned to laughter. I rolled my eyes and quickened my pace but Gabe caught up, "No. What I was inquiring about was Alpha Ryder returning today right?" I stiffened at that and shook my head, "Yeah. But I still haven't heard from my father." "Really?"
RONAN: What's this? Why can't I hear anything? Why can't I move? Why is my vision blurred? I felt breathless for some reason. What's happening? The sound of a shrill shatter jolted me out of my shocked state and I turned to see a broken plate on the floor. I found Zannicus frozen and face as pale as a statue. "Co-come again?" Nic said with a shaky breath while walking towards the patrol wolf. "A few minutes ago, we heard a faint howl of despair from the distance and when we went to the direction where the howl came from, there was a thick, black smoke rising from the east, as high as the sky. There's only one pack 60 miles from ours." The man looked devastated, "Moonstone pack. We howled for almost an hour to see if anyone's alive or in need of any assistance but-....no one answered. You can-...smell the-.....burning carcass-...from a distance." He trailed off as I took a sharp intake of breath but before I could speak, I was cut off by my mate shoving past me and out the door
I smiled wistfully at the memory, sighing as I hugged my knees to my chest. I was currently sitting up on my bed. It's been two days since that-.....day. Ronan woke up an hour before me, staring then kissed my tears away. My chest burned at the sorrow consuming me. No remains. Not one was found. After the ceremony, the moment I was in the safety of my room did I break down again and again. Ronan left a couple of minutes ago to grab us something to eat. I glanced at the window, sun shining brightly but not one soul in our pack feels really cheerful as of this moment. It was as my gaze drifted off to a random portrait did I realized something, "His parents!!" I smacked myself and sat up. I was so busy drowning in grief that I neglected Ronan's feelings. Now I knew why he looked more....blank. His movements were slow, almost mechanical. 'As soon as he comes back, I'll hug the wolf out of him!' A knock brought me out of my thoughts followed by a scent I knew. Nic's head peeked in th
NIC: We worked out way to get all the bodies down as carefully as we could due to how fragile they all were. No one spoke, mostly out of shock. Stacy's body shocked the most, 'When did she die? What happened? And why the h*ll is she wearing a short sparkly dress?' I felt a tiniest bit of sympathy for her. I mean, she may be a b*tch but she doesn't deserve this. She was a good girl before she turned into who she was. Her mother abused her; physically, mentally, but the most disgusting act she had committed was preventing Stacy from shifting into her wolf. This lasted for five years. Alpha was absolutely furious once this news reached him. Surprisingly, it was Ronan who informed his father after seeing bruises on Stacy's neck one time at school. I guess that's why Stacy fell in love with him because he saved her. She's changed so much. But now, I sighed, staring down at her, seeing her like this; lifeless, mutilated, is far too much. Zannie was the one who closed her eyes while I pr
I thought I was trembling, but when I opened my eyes, the one trembling was the ground itself. The rouges came to an abrupt stop as they looked around confused. They dug their claws into the ground as they held on, but it was useless. Aghast, I watched as the earth literally opened, the rogues plunging deep into the darkness leaving me alone but safe.I felt like something was clenching inside of me and soon, the ground closed, returning back to its normal state as if it hadn't opened a while ago. I blinked dumbfounded before flicking my gaze up to find all were frozen on their spot.My gaze found Marcus who was actually looking quite hilarious at this moment - for even in wolf form -as his mouth was wide open. Then he gave a wolfish grin before he threw his head back, howling happily before clamping his teeth down on the rogue's neck in front of him.The fight resumed and more came charging towards me. I wanted it to happen again but something else
'Oh what the hay is wrong with me?Hormones. Hormones.'A loud pained groan brought me out of my thoughts and I found the guy on the floor. Unconscious. My eyebrows shot up as the man bent down and patted his pants, pulling out a set of keys.He stood up and turned and our eyes met. His widened while I stared with a blank face. He gulped before quietly walked in. He stopped at the door of my cell and slowly opened it. He hesitated for a bit before stepping in and stopped right infront of me.He bit his lip before kneeling down and reached out to the shackles.I stayed still and he took that as the cue to continue and while he busied himself getting them off, I spoke which made him jump."What are you doing?""Repenting for my sins. Consider this as my way of saying sorry for not telling where our hideout is."He said quietly and I observed his body language. He was shaking- no, trembling rather. One fell off and he went to
'Gentle giant?'He unfolded the blanket and draped it around me. He looked at me and I gave a tiny smile in gratitude and he lightly squeezed my hand before leaving the room. I gripped the blanket and pulled it closer and soon, I drifted off.I was woken up by loud obnoxious laughter. I blinked blearily and was tempted to yell but the sound of a door opening had me looking. I frowned as two men came in with grins on their faces and I sat up, now fully awake."So, this is him."The tall one spoke."Man, they were right. He's f*cking hot.""And sadly off-limits."I scowled at them."You know, if you were someone else, I would've smacked that scowl off your face."The small said with clenched fists."Why don't you come in and do exactly just that?"I growled out while clenching my fists. The man who spoke clenched his jaw and was about to when the taller one held him back."Are you stu
*BEFORE THE BATTLE* "I'll return with your food." I stared at the shackles before I raised my gaze and looked around the room. My gaze landed on a window and I could see an orange color with hues of pink and purple painted the sky. The sun was slowly setting andI would admire the beautiful view yet I can't. I scooted back until I was against the wall and my eyes trained at the window. I rested my arms on top of my knees and heaved a sigh. The sudden growl of my stomach made me jump and I cradled my stomach. "Oh my pup. Are you hungry?? Just wait a moment and I promise food will come." I whispered, smiling down as I rubbed my stomach in slow, small circles before a sudden thought made me frown. 'Does Dylan know I'm pregnant? If he does, what does he plan to do? Is he gonna kill my pup before he/she's born? Or what if he'll use my pup?' The last two put a bad taste in my mouth and I found myself releasing a lo
"Wha-!! How-.....you! I-I-....where-?" His chuckles reverberated throughout the room. I gritted my teeth and tried to stand up but abruptly stopped as I felt something searing through my skin. I yelped, biting my lip as I clenched my eyes shut. "Now, now. Don't stand up. You'll hurt yourself even more." I sent a venomous glare only for him to smile amused before I eyed the shackles and turned my leg around. I blinked, frowning upon seeing a tiny white stone welded into the metal. "Ahh. I see you're curious about why there's a tiny white stone in the shackles?" I flicked my eyes to him. "Well, its to hold you dow
RONAN'S POV: The huge iron doors to the dungeons opened with a deafening cream.We were met with a dark hallway that soon lit up as three guards appeared with torches in their hands. With a bow from them, they turned and lead the way. One of them opened another door that seperated the cells from the hallway and as soon as we stepped in, low whimpers and growls sounded from the cells where each rogue are placed into. From here, I could sense Seth and Isaac releasing their auras as we walked past the wolves. Some growled louder while others snarled wildly but the sounds abruptly stopped, a deafening silence engulfed the air. With a confused frown, I flicked my eyes to the others to find all were glancing at each other in confusion but soon, our question were answered by a strong, almost suffocating aura. My mate was leading the way, mask of cold indifference adorning his face as he strod

RONAN'S POV:I was frozen in my spot gaping witnessing what my mate did and felt the others were as well.The voice didn't belong to my mate and I glanced at Marcus who'd already shifted back and was clutching his bleeding arm. As if he felt my stare, he looked back and I sent a silent question, asking if the one who spoke was Anak-har and he nodded.Dylan turned to us, face red eyes glowing in rage."This. Isn't. Over."Seth, Nica and Gabe growled at him before he took off, leaving our territory.W Weturned to my mate and I saw him shaking his head and he glanced around.His body was lolling side to side then he locked eyes with us. He had a faint smile on his lips. My eyes widened as blood trickled down his nose before he started to stumble and fall.I quickly shifted, not caring if I was naked and ran towards my mate."ZANNICUS!!"
