The girl handed me a paper, and walked away. At first I was scared on instinct. Peter calling for me was never really a good news for me. But then I remembered what I had asked him to do and I jolted. I quickly opened the chit and read the contents.‘Saw Lorenzo going toward the waterfall in the forest, behind the mountain. I am following him. I can smell your mother’s scent.”Mom!I turned around immediately and dashed out of the pack house. I was really hoping that Lorenzo and Leila would take the bait and act irrationally. It seemed that Lorenzo had finally gotten pissed with my behavior and made his move.I was just hoping that he would not hurt mom while I get there. My heart pounded as I ran through the forest while trying to be as quiet as possible. I had been to that place before so it was easier for me to get there this time. This was the same place where Lorenzo had met me several days ago.I was just walking into the lion’s mouth without any protection. I knew that it was
“Let go of me! I am the future alpha of my pack!” Lorenzo kept on growling like a mad wolf the whole way as the guards dragged him away to the dungeon. Thankfully Adrian and Brad had come right on time to save me in the forest. Even though Lorenzo was powerful, he was not powerful enough to suppress an Alpha and a Beta blood like Adrian and Brad together.He did put up a fight, of course, but lost terribly. The guards came pretty fast to grab Lorenzo and take him away. Adrian and Brad had not been hurt so I was thankful for that. Mom, on the other hand, was so malnourished that she was not even in her senses.Ignoring Lorenzo’s screams, I and Adrian rushed mom to the hospital. She had always been thin, but the starvation from the past few days had left her looking like a skeleton with skin on her body. It hurt
Alpha Bruno gave her a look that would have burnt her for the disrespect she just showed.Leila’s face was hard, “Lorenzo never harmed anyone. Why has he been thrown in a prison?”Alpha Bruno looked displeased with Leila’s sudden appearance. She had stormed inside the alpha’s meeting room without caring about respect toward alpha.Leila looked out of her mind as her voice increased with every passing second again, “You are just trying to subdue us! We are guests here!” she shouted, her face dripping with shock as if she could not fathom how we could even think that her brother would ever commit a crime.“We are your future family, alpha! How can you throw us in y
Just like Leila had, her father also burst through the doors as if this entire territory belonged to him. His gaze was fierce, eyes wide and the thick, black long hair flying everywhere. His thin face with that evil glower was giving him Lucious Malfoy vibes except for the blonde hair color instead of black.His eyes scanned the room at once. His gaze pinned Leila in her place for several seconds. Even I was afraid of the look in his eyes. Now I understood why Leila had looked so scared at the mention of her father.He moved his eyes away and then turned to Alpha Bruno. Lips curled back in a threatening growl, he asked, “Who put my SON in the prison, Alpha Bruno?”Alpha Bruno did not even blink at Alpha Griffin’s obviously bursting anger.
Adrian and I walked back to the house. Unlike every other time, he did not hold my hand while walking. I swallowed the shiver of pain that ran through me but kept quiet. I did not want others to listen to our conversation during our walk. We were walking side by side but he kept his distance. And that small gap that he left between us, well, it sucked. If someone had said to me before that I would turn into a sappy teenager who wants to hold her boyfriend’s hand all the time, I would have laughed my ass off. Right now I wanted to cry my ass off, and that was not pretty. Adrian opened the doors to my house and went in first. “Stay here.” he ordered and walked into the house first. I watched his back as he opened all the rooms and checked behind the doors and in the closets to make sure that it was safe inside. The house was still the same as I had left it. No sign of any living being staying in the emptiness of the brick walls. Ever since mom had been kidnapped, I had not been abl
I shrugged my shoulders as a chill ran down to my spine while I headed toward the hospital to be with mom. Maybe like Frankenswine, I will find a corner in the hospital room and feel somewhat safe by a miracle. The hospital hall was white and silent. My footsteps echoed in the hall as I made way to the room where mom had been shifted. My heart tightened in a knot as I grabbed the handle and gathered all my courage to enter the room. The past few days had been such an emotional rollar coaster, and now the argument with Adrian just fuelled my sadness.“August?” Mom’s croaked voice called out to me, making my eyes snap open. I pushed the door open and walked right in. Mom was sitting up in bed, leaning over to the nightstand to place the glass of water on the nightstand next to the bed. The moment I saw her, I broke in tears. There were dark circles under her eyes and she was so thin but her eyes brightened when she saw me.I rushed to the bed and dropped my arms around her shoulders
My eyes widened in shock. Leila’s cheek had turned red almost immediately and tears started falling down on her cheeks. The slap was a hard one, twisting her neck to the side. I had never expected Alpha Griffin to be this ruthless to his own daughter. He was more concerned about his son and there was clearly no fucks given to the daughter. No wonder Leila grew up to be so twisted in the head. My mom, she would never behave like this with me. As if she was habitual to the insult, Leila turned her head back around to face her dad and cried out, “I did everything I could, dad! I really did!” with her face stained with tears, she rushed to grab Alpha Griffin’s arm and beg, “We should get Lorenzo out of the prison fast. He must be so miserable there! He has never been alone in dark places, daddy. Should We go check on him?”Alpha Griffin jerked his arm out of Leila’s grip and shot her a disgusted stare.“I will save my son! He is going to rule my pack after me! He will be the one who kee
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
