While Ace left Crystal to recover, Juan was once again pacing outside the cottage while Mateo stood still, seemingly deep in thought. Watching the Alpha come out, Juan muttered again and spoke, " Ace? How could you offer her asylum? Even if she can disguise her scent, it's not like we can simply show up at the pack with a girl and have no explanation? And then what happens when a girl with an appearance similar to what the rogues are looking for appears on our doorstep out of the blue? Ace, you are being foolish for a bi**h!"Suddenly Juan was hit with a force that caused him to stagger and knee. He looked up at Ace with horror. Ace had actually used his Alpha power on him!"Juan, you are my friend since childhood and that is why I let you get away with a lot. But that does not mean you can go around challenging my decisions and disrespecting Lunas of other packs!."Being hit full force by the Alpha's anger, Juan looked away, baring his neck to the Alpha. "I apologize, Alpha Ace."Wit
Ace felt like a dam* perv. He had raced into the room, expecting a rogue to have attacked her and instead, here she was staring at him as if he was the rogue. Her big eyes almost seemed ready to fall out of her face and she was clutching the blanket with a panicked face.Her eyes, if possible widened even further as she gave him a look all over. In his haste, he had only pulled on his sweats leaving his upper body bare. "Uh... Could you please put on some clothes," she squeaked.After seeing that she was pale-faced and shaking he guessed the reason for her scream. Ace walked out of the cabin without a word to get back his T-shirt. She must have had a nightmare. She had had those in the past two nights and it had usually ended in her holding his hand tight enough to stop blood flow into the appendage and if he were a human, break his bones!Crystal stared at the perfect V-shaped back of the man as he walked out. Her eyes however continued to flit back to the small tattoo on his shoulde
Two Weeks Later:"Who is that girl?"As Crystal followed Alpha Ace and beta Mateo into the training grounds of the Moonhunters Pack, she could already feel the power in the air. So, what she had learnt from Beta Mateo during her recuperation period, about this pack was all true. Alpha Ace was truly a well-respected and honoured Alpha. It was clear from the warriors that he commanded. Even when they were training, they had a fierceness that could be matched in a real match. And such warriors had pledged their alliance to the Alpha so he was worthy."Who Cares if he is not worth it? All that hot a**! We can enjoy him and then once I have come ito power, we can tame him, worth or not..." Erin, her wolf, whispered in her ear. Even providing images of the ways in which she could 'subdue' the alpha!Crystal rolled her eyes mentally at her wolf and tried to ignore the gazes being sent her way. As a human student, she had been used to merging into the background but as she walked among the wo
Since the Alpha had already ordered and everyone waited, Kai, suppressed his thoughts and turned to choose a young wolf. If what Mateo had hinted at was true then there was no female fighter who was good enough to train with her. In werewolves, there were rarely any female warriors for they could prove a distraction for their mates. Of course, in today's time, one might say that the opposite was true and female warriors could also be distracted due to their male counterparts but no one was interested in changing things. Alpha Ace had made an order that all males and females had to be trained so a few of the she-wolves had half-heartedly started training while others had found ways to get out of the compulsion for the time being. While Kai was lost in deliberation, the warriors were abuzz with gossip and conversation through their mind link. Knowing what Kai was thinking, Beta Mateo opened the mind link and spoke to Kai," Send Nate." Kai scowled and turned to look at the Beta. Nate
Crystal narrowed her eyes and threw the dart with such venom that Ace could not help but wince. That was a lot of hatred for the poor dart board. "I hope you are not imagining my face on the dartboard." That caused Crystal to pause as she turned her head to look at the Alpha who was now lounging against her kitchen counter with a serious look on his face. Rolling her eyes at him, she commented," Just because you ordered me to not flirt with anyone, you think I would be so vicious? I understand that you were jealous since you wanted me to flirt with you only but pettiness does not earn you darts!" "Then what does?" Came the clap-back question. Sighing, Crystal placed the darts on the side and crossed her arms in front of her as she stared at Ace Hunter. "What is the matter Ace? Why are you here in my humble abode at midnight, eating my fish and chips?" "Only you would have the gall to call me Ace without permission, Crystal. And the fish and chips are yum so why would I want them
Ace had made a wild guess in the dark but when he felt her stiffen and her heartbeat accelerate, he knew he made the correct guess. An angry haze seemed to cover his eyes and he had to suppress the urge to kill the person who had done this to her.He knew that she had suffered at the hands of those who had kidnapped her but they had actually given her wolfsbane? At first, he had been glad that she had been strong enough to kill the rogues but now he wanted to resurrect each of them and beat them to a pulp. Holding her face, he looked deep into her eyes. Were those nightmares that he knew she had a result of the wolfsbane?Wolfsbane was slow torture to any wolf as it slowly cut the two connected souls of human and wolf into two parts a little at a time. And she had been given enough wolfsbane that she could not change anymore. A fire ignited inside him as he felt her warm lips against his. At least she had survived. The moon Goddess had brought her to him and even if her wolf could not
Nate Hunter, Beta Mateo and Kai Nebriski stood in the Alpha's office while they waited for the man to finish his talks with one of the alliance packs. It had been a month since Crystal Appleby had joined the pack and not a day had passed when Nate Hunter had not tried to convince his brother to send back the girl to the boonies. But his brother had not budged.When Nick heard that Kai was set to report her first month of training and Mateo was going to the Appleby mountains to bring back Juan, Nate could not help but run to his brother's office to see if he could convince his brother to send the Appleby pup back where she came from!But now that he was here, he seriously regretted it. His brother was in a mood. And the best place to be when his brother was in the said 'mood' was to be furthest away from his brother. But now, he had been thrown into the lineup in front of his brother."Stop fidgeting Nate!" Ace growled making him freeze as his icy voice rolled over him. Uhh. It had bee
Crystal turned away from Ace and hugged herself, worried if she was making a mistake in trusting him with her secret. She had observed him all the time they had been together and knew that she could be wrong about him. He was a man who had killed his own father and she had not yet discovered why. But she knew that this was the only course forward. It was better to trust the devil you know. However, before that, she would have to put forward some conditions of her own. At least that way, she could fool herself that she had some semblance of control. Sighing, she turned back to him and the pity in his eyes almost broke her before she hardened her heart and spoke," You can rest assured that I will not endanger your pack in any way. If anything, I'd rather die than harm the innocent."Ace scowled at this but he was not going to give up until he knew the truth about the monsters who had poisoned a little girl. He knew she was not happy about confiding in him and he wanted to tell her that
