Yarkona thought she had finally cut the mustard and had one less problem to deal with but she was wrong, she was dead wrong and abhorred every minute of her time being squandered. "Why do you keep fighting it? No matter what you do, it will one day ingurgitate you," Odessa didn't retaliate, looking apathetic at where she was crouching on the bed, back rested on the wall, the back of her knees were lifted off the bed while her wrist and ankle were shackled with chains. She remained immobile and played deaf to Yarkona's words as her gaze remained on only one spot in particular. Yarkona scoffed coming to sit on the bed with a bowl of greenish liquid and bringing it to Odessa's lips and the she-wolf didn't oppose and sluggishly swallowed the content but didn't look away from the spot she found more absorbing than her present situation. Yarkona grinned in contentment. "I'm glad you've finally seen how fruitless it is to protest, I'm glad you've decided to accept your fate and you can't b
Yarkona smirked at the three girls shackled in front of her. She stared at their baffled and frightened faces. "Aren't you girls just feather brain but I will use your idiocy to my advantage, that's the best part,""You won't get anything from us. We will never tell you where the others are!" Roxanne blurted and Yarkona laughed and lifted her hand where an orb of shady energy circled, the girl's breath hitched in fear and they began striving with their bonds."You were so intrepid earlier, why so skittish now?" She heckled with a smirk. "I will give you a choice, Addanc expects me to bring input on the bearing of the others, and believe me that's my life-consecrated job. I will make this simpler if you tell me where they are,""Over our dead bodies!" Phoebe spatted.Yarkona grinned. "That can be arranged, we can always do this over your corpses," she got closer to Roxanne with the dark orb. "You seem braver, I will start with you first and let your friends watch,"Roxanne strived to d
The reverberate of a battle cry made Onyx's head jolt up and she peered at Xenia and Nordika who mirrored her expression. "They are here," she enunciated. She stood up and scaled to the bars and clutched them, trying to chirp through the darkness.Xenia approached Onyx. "Since they are here, it's time you leave. Nordika and I will watch Gwen just in case,"Just in case they thwart Addanc and the redhead wakes. Onyx nodded. "Remember, the heart is the mark, the same goes for Addanc," Xenia proceeded, then she faced the bars, and with a flash of her eyes, the iron doors blast opened and Onyx didn't waste any time and scampered down the foyer of the pack vaults, passing cell after cell filled with prisoners that unfurled their hands towards her for help, finally, she arrived at her destination and hastily broke into the cell."Roxanne!" Onyx blat, rushing toward the mindless form of the three girls shackled and back rested against the wall. She hunched and placed her fingers on Roxanne'
The sky over their heads blackened, nothing could be seen no matter how much one peeped, it was like staring into a deep and shallow void, black and enigmatical, followed by the clap of thunder and lightening that flashed and graced the sky with its beauty and amid this chaos was Seth and Addanc, baring teeth and were at each other's throats, each wanting to scrape the other and rip out their hearts.With a detonate of energy, Addanc had struck Seth, sending him across the hall, spurting through the doors and into the night. Seth fell to a knee and held his balance with his sharp claws.Seth smirked, his eyes no longer a midnight blue but a pair of caliginous and malignant silver, and his aura that was once suffocating and vast was now vindictive and afflictive when one get closer.Still mashed to the ground, Onyx's eyes looked like they were about to fall out of her socket and her mouth hanged opened as she watched the uncanny smirk that sprawled on Seth's lips. If Onyx didn't know b
The forest was dark and earthy and the smell of it was damp."Stop! Stop! Stop!" Odessa shrieked, falling against a tree, and letting out a pained sob as she supported her heavy stomach. "I can't go any further,"Yarkona grimaced, "No, we can't stop, we need to keep going,""Keep going?!" Odessa squealed, panting heavily. "We have been walking for hours, I can't go anymore," she shook her head violently, sliding to the wet ground and letting out another pain-filled cry. Yarkona did a quick scan of their surrounding before squatting to Odessa's level. She placed her hand on her stomach. "Do you think you can give birth?" Odessa gaped. "What, no!""Then we just have to make you give birth," Odessa tightly held Yarkona's hand, pulling it away from her stomach, and shoved the witch back, and bared her teeth. "I won't let you hurt my child!"Yarkona sneered. "If I want to hurt anyone, it would be you, I need that baby alive and if you want to stay alive, you better shut your mouth and d
A whole month had passed since the chaos and Gwen could say every pack was slowly picking up its broken pieces and starting anew.Syrin and the others had gone back to White Claw Pack while Gwen chose to remain in Black Fur Pack because that was her real home and the people needed her more since they had no Alpha and they looked up to her as their new Luna.It had been a month since Seth had been unconscious. Gwen would have been troubled hadn't been for Kristion's warning before the man left.Seth would only wake up on his own time, only when the power of the beads had settled. Gwen marveled at how long that would take but as long as Seth would wake up one day, she was content waiting. After all, she had once been in his position. "At this point, we can only expand the pack, yes it's the largest but since we have more population over the few weeks and loses, we have to make use of more lands, especially for growing crops," Gwen suggested, pointing at the geographical map laid out on
Seth was awake!Excitement seeped through Gwen at the news and was whisking down the pack house hallway heading toward Seth's bedroom. She didn't bother knocking as she nudged her way inside to find her mate sitting on the bed with his feet on the floor while slipping into a shirt."Seth!" Gwen shrieked in enthusiasm and darted toward her mate, enveloping him in a hug that threw him back on the bed with her on top of him. "I missed you so much!" She screeched on his shoulder while Seth's arms deliberately went around his waist, holding her as if making sure she was real.Gwen withdrew and peered into his blue eyes and cupped his face in his palms. "I'm so glad you are awake, I was so afraid,"Seth didn't say a word. He stared as if he was hypnotized, he stared as if she was nothing but a fabric of his imagination, and once he blinks she would vanish from his eyes as she usually did. "Y-you are here," he managed out and Gwen eagerly nodded, leaning down to press her lips against his in
She glared at the baby on the arduous floor of a grotto she had taken haven, sheathed in thin sheets, and was barely a week old.Oswald and Odessa's son.Yarkona ogled with a definite gaze as the baby compressed the space with his tiny voice, shrieking so garishly and annoyingly, Yarkona almost slapped him shut but not wanting to lure attention, she hesitantly picked up the baby but he continued screeching. She hissed in irritation. She despised children and that was a fact. It was only fortunate that she didn't get to get raised Oswald by herself.Oswald…Tears were suddenly streaming down her face at the thought of her son.He was gone, slain by those who annihilated her mate and again, Yarkona realized she was all deserted now. Her plans of retaliation had languished one after the other.But did they think it was over? Yarkona's eyes were grimier than any night and her jaws were locked tightly, brutal and determined because it wasn't over until she say it was over.Her gaze avert
