Chapter: A world worth fighting for Chapter eighty fourBack at the pack house, the wolves were safe. The house had little to no damage, thanks to Akira's idea of meeting Orion far away from the pack house before he even got there. Tony was in the Infirmary now. “I did all I could, I have done everything magically possible to ensure that he survives and he surely will. Now we wait and let mother nature do her thing,” Rune had told her, “only thing is that she's painfully slow but she is really good at what she does— most of the time” he joked. She laughed at how he spoke like he knew her personally. Rune on the other hand was glad to see that she could still smile. She had excused herself to be alone. She knew that she had a lot to do but first she was going to gather her thoughts. The battle with Orion had destroyed a lot of things but In the same vein, that destruction brought its own revelation along with it. For example, the growing stump of life inside her. The sun rose to meet her waiting for him at the balcony of the pack ho

Chapter: death to righteous fury. chapter eighty threeOrion felt the cold steel on his neck and he went ahead to press his neck to it.He wanted this horrible reality to end as quickly as it started.There was no more righteous fury to drown his sense of reasoning anymore.There was only clarity, Raw and Merciless. It did not pander to the reason why he did those things. He blinked, his five senses soaking the destruction that laid bare before him.The air smelled like ash, iron and blood, human blood.He followed the scent instinctively, with his eyes following the lead of his nose to the source.“Tony—” he muttered. “He is not moving.” He said aloud to Akira.“Really? I didn't notice” Eliza scoffed, her eyes burning with anger.Orion tried to move but was pushed back by Eliza, “move and you'd wish you were him.” She warned.Orion shivered in horror.Tony's body lay twisted unnaturally near the fractured edge of the chasm, his left arm bent beneath him at an angle that no living limb should hold. Blood had soaked through his sleeve an

Chapter: Goddess, hear my plea. chapter eighty two“Whoa,Dad!” The tires of the jeep screeched to a staggering halt.In front of them was a large ditch, “this wasn't here last week was it?” Cain asked.Eliza shook her head. “Orion must have done this.”“Damn, that's one powerful wolf if you ask me. I mean I knew he was powerful but not to this extent”“I know, that's not what we need at this moment.”“Then we better get moving, I think I can scale this,” he said pointing to the ditch, “in one jump,you?”Eliza smiled, “I am not a wolf pup dad, I think I can manage.”He reached over and brought her closer with a bear hug, “ensure you get back alive and in one piece.” “I will, you better take your own advice too dad”“Definitely, it's just a couple of Houndras, those things are like cake.”They remained in that position for a while before Cain broke it up, “let's go, we have to ensure that there's a pack returning to.”Cain took the left while Eliza took the right. She jumped across the ditches with ease,her eyes peeled for any hound.

Chapter: Any last words. chapter eighty oneThe cracked earth created a chasm between Akira and her comrades.“There, far enough to interfere but safe enough to watch how things unfold” Orion taunted, “place your bets, people. Who is emerging victorious tonight?”Akira but back her lips. It was too late to run now and she was grateful, now she had no other option than to put an end to all of this.Her weapon, Kestrel's Filament,slid down her arms swiftly like some living serpent and straightened to form a staff, “bring it on?”Orion chuckled, “it won't be fair to bring it on when you aren't sure of your footing, I mean, take a look at you—” he waved his hands and the earth under Akira’s foot shook, causing her to stumble in the process. She used her cord to maintain her balance eventually.“That should not be your problem Orion. I said, bring it on!”“Akira be careful!” Tony shouted as she lost her footing.The floor tilted this time around after Orion waved his hands. Gravity seized her and she fell. She struck the stone alon

Chapter: The beginning of the faux end. chapter eighty“Where do you think you're going?” Kai asked, his strong hands gripping Akira tightly by the wrist. “Did you not hear a word of what he said?” She responded, her anger, clearly visible in the tone of her voice. “You're not going to face him alone are you?” “I don't. We have to give Rune some time to catch his breath. He's the only fire we have that might stand a chance against Orion.” “You're still trying to talk to him? That wolf has gone mad with rage and hate.” “And who's fault is that?” She hated that she had brought that up but it was necessary to remind Kai that they were in this mess because of him. He went too far and he dropped the bar to hell with the way he went about to cover his actions. “Look, Kai. As much as I would like to put the blame on you and scold you, I am afraid I can't, not now.” “You've done enough for the pack as it is. That was why I was brought here in the first place, no? I was brought to save this pack from the path of destruction that you alre

Chapter: Finding Orion. chapter seventy nine“Is that why you are here?” Akira asked, her countenance expressed anger and disgust so strong enough to keep the most dangerous predator away but Kai was more stubborn than a wolf in heat.He knew what he was after and he was going to get it one way or the other, all he wanted was a conversation.“Hmm” Tony moaned, “thanks Kai, this is nice.” “What is he still doing here?” Kai thought. He had hoped that something somewhere would cause him to leave..His eyes trailed to Tony's moving lips, “that toast is not for you!” He muttered.“You said something?” Tony mumbled with his mouth half full.“Oh it's nothing.” Kai said with a fake smile, “enjoy!”In reality he just wanted him to choke on the next bite.He could do it manually; it takes him nothing to snuff the life out of that human but he would rather wait for him to die of natural causes.He suddenly remembered that he was still in a conversation with Akira. He might have slipped out temporarily but Akira stood there, her ears waiti

Chapter: Blood in Paradise. chapter twenty sevenAlejandro’s POVThe message glowed between us.“Wrong target tonight.”Miguel stared at the screen for exactly three seconds before locking it.His face went completely blank.“That was meant for you,” I said quietly.“Yes.”The calm in his voice unsettled me more than panic would have.Security radios continued crackling outside the suite. Footsteps. Urgent whispers in Portuguese. The sound of controlled chaos.Miguel moved toward the door.“Where are you going?” I demanded.“To fix it.”“You mean retaliate.”He didn’t deny it.I stepped in front of him.“If they were aiming at you, don't you think it would be wise to stay put?”He didn't respond, the look in his eyes answered.“ this isn’t about me, is it?”“It is always about you,” he replied.The intensity of it made my breath hitch.“You are leverage. That hasn’t changed.”“Then stop running head first into danger.”His eyes darkened.“You think I’m afraid of dying?”“No,” I said honestly. “I think you’re afraid of living.”That

Chapter: Private Collision. chapter twenty six Alejandro’s POV I did not sleep, I couldn't. Miguel pretended to. We shared the same suite — because of course we did. Two bedrooms connected by a sitting area no one would use. Security outside. Ocean view beyond the glass walls. This vacation was now wrapped around danger. I stood at the balcony at two in the morning, staring down at the city lights. Brazil at night was softer. Less loud. The ocean moved like something ancient and patient. Behind me, I heard his bedroom door open. His footsteps were steady as they inched towards me. He stopped a few feet behind me. “You are sure you heard them clearly?” he asked. “Yes.” I muttered weakly, my back still turned to him. “Describe them.” I did. Height. Accents. Suits. The tone of their voices. The certainty. He absorbed every detail. “Journalist,” he repeated under his breath. I turned slowly. “They know who I am.” “They knew before you arrived.” “Well I did not think I would be in this mess, heck. Home would have bee

Chapter: The Public Game. chapter twenty fiveAlejandro’s POVBrazil was loud. Not in the chaotic, suffocating way of gunfire and screeching tires. Not in the way betrayal echoed through marble halls.Brazil was alive.My ears opened before my eyes as music bled from the open windows, The air smelled like citrus, salt, and heat and smoked meat.“Good morning—” I muttered to no one in particular. I was all alone in my side of the room. I looked at the adjoining foot and imagined Miguel standing at the other side, waiting for me.“No.” I said, “he made his choice and I have to respect that.” That was close. For a brief moment, I almost forgot why I was here and the events that led here.Almost.The bath was heavenly. Miguel's father was not a cheap man, that much was clear. The decor of the room might have gone unnoticed when I arrived but now that I was settled? Whoa!I got dressed and I looked the part. Nothing too dark, nothing to fancy at least not with what I picked. I planned to hit the beach so I dressed in a cute beach

Chapter: Nothing but co-workers. chapter twenty fourMiguel's POV.This was the day I left for Brazil. I anticipated this for a while because it allowed me to get my mind off things.I got into the designated plane for the trip. It was a private flight and I expected solitude throughout the entire trip.I got into the plane and there he was, seated in the window seat,headphones in,eyes closed.I felt my heart skip a beat. “What is he doing here?”I took the seat beside him.He did not acknowledge meBesides me was the perfect portrait of indifference.I muttered a faint greeting just to make my presence and hopefully start a conversation with him but he was mute.That stung but I took it like a champ.The plane taxied. Lifted and the city shrank beneath us.Hours passed.I tried to distract myself, read, listen to music, and sleep. They all failed.My mind kept replaying his face when he said, “is that all you have to say?” It wasn’t all I had to say but I did not know how to say the rest without breaking his heart any further.Turbu

Chapter: Out of sight. chapter 23Miguel's POV The entire drive back home was an antsy one. I wasn't sure if Alejandro got the letter I left.I wished that he did, the regret was beginning to set in and I began to imagine a day without him in it.I have lived for long without him and now that I had him, it felt strange to be without him.“What if he has seen the letter?” I asked myself as we stopped at a red light. “Would he still respond the other way he did?” My heart was heavy with guilt as I thought about his innocence. I tried to exonerate myself, “I was just trying to keep him safe. Perhaps he understood that from the letter.”I nodded as I stared into the street from my tinted window glass. “Perhaps he did— or?” The only other options shook me with fear. I had never been afraid before, not even with a bullet placed in front of my head. Father had ensured that we killed whatever part of us responsible for fear, but here I was, scared to my depths.This fear was linked to one question, “what if he felt nothing

Chapter: No tears left to cry. chapter twenty two Alejandro's POV I rolled my eyes as I dropped the phone.Pedro walked in on me talking into the house phone and he was not having it. He went on and on about how I wasn't supposed to do that. “I told you that the master is in a meeting. What part of that did you not understand?”“I heard you, did it occur to you that he might have called?” I said with one brow raised, “perhaps he had a feeling that you would bother me and he called to check up on me.”“There's no way he would do that?”“Well I for sure did not call him, I don't have his number remember? You refused to give them to me when I asked.” I knew that was a lie but I was sticking to it. It was extremely easy to find his number on that phone. A quick search of the word “master” and I had him on speed dial.Pedro stared at me deeply like he intended to dig the truth out of me with his eyes— it would be easier for a camel to walk through the camel's eye before he succeeded.He gave up a few moments later, “next time, I answe
