My eyes had snapped open completely. I straightened, getting up to sit in the bed. Adrian had his cell to his ear, listening to his dad from the other side of the call. He was quiet and unaffected as he heard the news while I had just become still with shock.“Is he alive?” “He is.” Alpha Bruno replied, “badly hurt though. His head was smashed, and three of his ribs were broken. A leg fracture and shoulder dislocated.”“Did they find who attacked him?” Adrian asked, his eyes briefly slides to my face before moving toward the little devil piggie of mine who was now growling at Adrian like he had snatched its favorite food out of its mouth.“No,” Alpha Bruno said, unaware of the lethal visual battle that Frankenswine and Adrian were having, “The guards were changing shifts when it happened. Lorenzo could not see the attacker’s face as he was pinned down from behind.”A ghost of smirk appeared on Adrian’s face. My confusion grew deeper.Alpha Bruno continued, “Griffin is earning my bra
“Lorenzo was in the hospital. In your fucking hospital! How in the fucking world his oxygen mask came off without anyone noticing? What kind of lousy security have you given to my son?!”Brady was standing in all his glory with his hands in his pocket and a poker face. I was not used to seeing him this serious as he was always playful when he was with Adrian. But right now he looked like his face had been set with glacier. Just emotionless and stern.He looked at the two guards standing on the side, “Did you see anyone going in and out? The security footage?”“No one.” the guards who were almost as big as MMA fighters with strong built and fully clothed bodies, shrugged, “there is no camera inside the hospital room but no one went inside the room except the guards and Alpha Griffin.”“Maybe your son took the mask off on his own while unconscious?” Brady questioned. Even I knew that it was not a very smart assumption.Alpha Griffin scoffed furiously, “You are making a fun of me, arent
The talk travelled faster than air. Gossip spread like wildfire. As if it was a viral story on the internet, all the misdeeds that Lorenzo had ever committed started spreading out along with the sins that he had committed after coming to our pack. As his crimes got revealed, and people found out that he had tried to murder multiple omegas, the gossip about him increased even more. The headline of his crime was- Lorenzo is being punished by a mysterious force created by Moon goddess for taking advantage of his power.Getting beaten up without trace, the oxygen mask falling off, and especially the attack of crows- it all signified that Lorenzo had committed grave sins for which moon goddess had cursed him. He would never be a good alpha. He is going to die at our pack but not before he had suffered a lot.The more people talked, the more news spread and badmouthing about alpha Griffin, Leila and Lorenzo began. Alpha Griffin, on the other hand, was furious out of his mind. Now as I pi
“Let’s take a seat.” Adrian grabbed my hand, leading us toward the dinner table but I snatched my hand out of his grasp,“What are you doing?!” I hissed, “You should go. There are so many people there. Even two alphas!”He rolled his eyes, “It is just dinner! And now you are my Consort. You have every right to be at that table.”“Right! I keep forgetting about that. But I don’t want to creat a farce.” I kept my voice low to make sure nobody else hears us, “the dangerous energy between your dad and alpha Griffin, it is already so heavy in the air. Let’s not create more troubles, Adrian.”All eyes turned to us when we took
‘What just happened?’‘Where did she go? Did she just disappear?’‘Look under the table.’‘Oh my god… she knows dark magic!’A commotion had lit up the entire hall. Everyone was so shocked that no one was even pretending to keep their voices down. Leila had just disappeared in front of everyone without a trace within less than a second. Everyone had started murmuring about Leila using magic to run away. It was the only plausible explanation.Alpha Griffin faked a worried face. He was looking around frantically to find Leila but she was nowhere to be seen.
I closed my eyes, ready to shift. There was no other way to be saved.My body felt hot, my claws coming out. I bent down on my knees to shift to my wolf.BANG!The top of the basement burst open. The fire burst through the small hole at once and then calmed down. A figure jumped through the door. I had never felt such a deep relief ever before in my entire life.Adrian’s eyes fell on me, noticing my claws. He immediately came over, grabbing Lucinda first while saying to me, “I am bringing you out.”I gulped hard, the dark smoke making it impossible for me to breathe properly or see anything. There was a shout from the above, someone threw
I nervously glanced at Adrian past the bushes and trees that I had tried to hide behind. Lucinda stood in front of me. Broken down, but looking much better now that she had been given some treatment. Everyone had started to return to their homes while a search group was sent to hunt down Leila. Alpha Griffin was in no state to even walk. An ambulance had been brought in to carry him to the pack hospital.“What’s up?” Lucinda asked impatiently, tiredness covering her face, “I wanna go back and take a fucking nap. What do you want?”My attention returned to her. I could feel Adrian’s eyes pinned on us. Folding my arms over my chest, I straightened my back to prepare myself, and then stated, “You heard what Leila said about my wolf, didn’t you?”Lucinda was silent for a mere second, but then smirked, and leaned back against the bark of a tree. Though it was more because she was perhaps getting tired of standing rather than attitude.“I heard.”My worst fear. Though it was not like I was
I woke up from gentle knocking on the door. It first the constant ‘Thak, thak, thak’ irritated the hell out of my sleep deprived brain. But then I opened my eyes, realised I was in the pack house, laying in Adrian’s spare room entirely naked with a heavy arm around me, and shot up immediately.Shit!THAK. THAK. THAK.The knocking grew louder. Fucking hell.I did not have the time to dress up so I just threw on the bathrobe laying on the floor, and got out of the bed. I was about to unlock the door when I remembered something, flipped around and ran back to the bed.Adrian was spread out in the bed, fast asleep. I grabbed the sh
