It feels good to be back. Thanks for bearing with me and waiting for me.
Alpha Velvet could not believe her ears. She had expected something bad but not this. Never in her wildest dream did she expect to hear that Adelia had killed the poor girl. That devil!Of course, Adelia was the evil spirit that the little girl had spoken about. It was obvious the old lady and her little girl didn't know much about their kind for them to tag a werewolf as an evil spirit; however, wasn't that the best phrase to characterize Adelia? No werewolf in their right senses will attack a human — an innocent one. What was Adelia thinking?"I knew it! I knew that bitch had done something bad." Alpha Velvet could not hold back her tongue. She didn't know Nicole personally — she had not even seen her before — yet she was so angry. She was so angry she wanted nothing but to rush to Adelia's pack and confront her. How would she do such a thing?Alpha Velvet finally tore her eyes from the old woman to look at Aiden when he didn't say anything and her brows furrowed when she saw how
"Where have you been?""And why are you sneaking in?" Calix froze in his track, his brown eyes wide with shock and fear when he heard those questions. He didn't have to turn around to know who they were that were asking him those questions, he could tell from their voices. He bit his lips hard, cussing under his breath as he stood to full length. He had been crouching, hoping to get into the pack without anyone seeing him but it seemed like luck was against him that evening. "We are asking you a question. Where have you been and why are you sneaking into the packland like a rat?"Calix shut his eyes tightly but soon opened them and with a small sigh, he turned around to look at Andrew and Jamal who had their arms folded as they stared at him intently. They were both dressed in their gamma uniform so it was obvious they had just finished training. But why were they standing at the foot of the mahogany tree when they ought to be home with their families? Calix could have sworn that
The first thing Aiden did when he returned to the pack was to see Alpha Lundamous and his Luna. The royalty had been locked in their chamber for weeks now, just getting little food here and there all the while Aiden and Alpha Velvet thought of what to do to them. Alpha Velvet had wanted them dead that night of the attack but Aiden had felt they might be of some use so why not use them until it was time to discard them — perhaps, they could help as bait in finding Jared. But now, at this moment, Aiden didn't want to care anymore. He was tired of waiting for Jared to come to them. He realised just now on his way to the packland with Alpha Velvet that they had not been doing anything to find Jared. They had just simply relaxed as though their victory was complete and they had no enemy.Of course, he was the reason they were like that. Him and no one else. He was the one who was being too slacked, too relaxed, simply catching on to those things he had missed all the while he had been
"Let me teach this freak a lesson!" She said, her eyes still on the Luna's hazel ones. They were both panting and both ready to fight, but Aiden did not let them."That's not why we are here, Vel." He simply said, turning a sharp gaze at the Luna and just like that, it was over. The Luna stood straight and walked back to the bed, the glare still intact on her face but she didn't attack. Alpha Velvet let out a gasp of frustration. What on earth! She was already too angry and was ready to use the Luna as a punching bag, perhaps, her anger would reduce. But Aiden had ruined it for her."You do this every time, Aiden, and it's not funny anymore." She said to him and he shook his head."What do you think? That I will sit back and watch you get injured?" He whispered."Injured?" Alpha Velvet's eyes widened. "Do you think I will get injured by this. . .this thing? Am I that weak to you?" She almost yelled."No! But I don't even want a scratch on you." He said, his golden-brown eyes twinklin
Aiden shared a smile with Alpha Velvet and for a reply to the Luna's question, he turned his gaze to Kunata, signalling for him to come forward. Kunata did as he had been told and when he got to where Aiden and Alpha Velvet were standing, Aiden said,"It's obvious they know something we need to know. To make them speak, what do you suggest?""They won't be able to keep shut if they are tortured," Kunata replied and Aiden's smile widened,"Just what I thought. I can trust you to do that, can't I?""Yes, of course." Kunata bowed a little and Aiden patted him on the shoulder. Then, turning serious, he said,"Don't stop until they reveal everything about their son. I don't care if they die in the process." Gasps filled the air the moment he said that and the Luna sprang up to her feet, looking really scared."You can't do that. We don't know anything!" "Really?" Aiden was the one to tilt his head to the side."Yes! You locked us up here for days. How do you expect us to know?" The Luna
The throne room was noisy, with everyone saying one thing or the other. Every elder was present, and they stood at both sides of the large hall, speaking words to one another as they waited to be addressed. The council meeting had come as a shock to all and no one knew what to expect as they stood in the throne room. Ever since the fight, there had not been a serious meeting so it was understandable why everyone was nervous.While the elders from the Blood-Moon pack occupied the right-hand side of the large hall, the elders from the Night Scars pack stood by the left-hand side. There was an air of hostility settling above them as some of the Blood-Moon elders glared at the Night Scars elders. While some were getting along really well, the rest weren't and as they stood in the throne room, waiting, some threw insults at one another. However, the noise died down when the door flew open and Aiden walked in, accompanied by Alpha Velvet, Kunata, and some other deltas from the Night Scar
"I totally agree with Elder Thunga." A voice said and all eyes turned to him. It was Salutary Jimoh, the head salutary Jared had imprisoned for no reason. He had been released after the Night Scars pack took over, so of course, he supported Alpha Velvet and Aiden. Why wouldn't he?"Jared was a bad Alpha. He treated us like slaves. He imprisoned me for no reason and tortured me just because of his insecurity. I'm most grateful to you for showing up at this time. I would have lost my life if you didn't. I am indebted to you both." Salutary Jimoh bowed."Nonsense! Blasphemy! Is this how you speak of your alpha behind his back?" Another elder countered. He was the head of the scout group."Strangers invade your pack and here you all are, licking their anus like dogs? How much were you paid to do so?""You insult us by thinking we were paid," another elder retorted. "We should be asking you how much you were paid because no one in his right senses will support Jared after the hell we have
Jared was tensed. He was so tense that he could not sit down. He was at the training field, watching the Greystone warriors train rigorously as usual even when their Alpha Rio was yet to announce the day they were going to attack the Blood-Moon pack. The training field of the Greystone pack was just as big as that of the Blood-Moon pack and they had as many resources as the Blood Moon pack. The Greystone pack was just as mighty as the Blood Moon pack and this was one of the reasons Alpha Lundamous had accepted Rio's proposal and allowed him to take Adelia with him. His father had always told him that he didn't always have to fight or subdue everyone but could sometimes befriend mighty packs like these to live peacefully and become allies. Being enemies with the Greystone pack was definitely not a good idea — so his father had said and Jared was beginning to see how true that statement was. If he had not maintained his relationship with Rio even as alpha as the Blood-Moon pack the
