LOGINChapter 18: The Trap & Savage UnleashedThe night sky that evening had a large moon. It appeared to be larger than the normal size by at least two to threefold. It also looked far too close for comfort to our space. A colourful atmosphere was surrounding the Shadow Gate at that point.My entire being began to tingle with energy, and the mating bond within me was throbbing with a great intensity until then. I could feel its force playing on my chest.We had arrived at Cain's preferred destination. Orion stepped ahead, every muscle in his strong frame tight with high hopes. I followed him, my loyal warriors walking behind me as well.A dark magic filled the air with such density I could practically taste it.Every footstep I took was laden with uncertainty. "Something's not right," I murmured to Orion. "This moon... It doesn't feel normal tonight."He just nodded and continued forward, though his steps shook so slightly. "Stay close, Ava. Remain right behind me no matter what."Suddenly, a v
At the gate.As news of Luna Elara's kidnapping got to us, it nearly broke us into pieces, Orion turned cold. He pushed himself away from me, threw on his clothes and began to bark out orders. The Rogue General paced outside the tent as I frantically dressed, my fingers still shaking from what had transpired between us minutes ago. “We move at first light,” he said, the familiar tone of the ice-cold Alpha King replacing his usual heat. “North, towards the border. Cain wants us at the Shadow Gate and we are not going to give him the opportunity to plan his next move.” I nodded, understanding the danger in this new mission but forced to join. Elara was Orion’s mentor and obviously important to him, and in truth, I wanted to prove to myself I was more than just his captive. Our journey north needed two days of fast, uncomfortable riding. We were accompanied by a small sect of his most trusted warriors. As we rode closer to the old border, the trees thickened and the air grew heavy with a
The campsite had fallen silent.Most of the Betas had slept off after the celebration was held to mark our victory. I lay in Orion’s big bed, tucked into the privacy of his tent as my body felt warm and soft as we got attached to a tree.Then after a few hours, I began to feel bored. “Orion, why are you sleeping off?” I kept muttering those words as if I was also going to reply to myself. ‘Hold on,’ my wolf warned. ‘Let him sleep for a a little while…” I turned my head from right to the left. Orion yawned and woke up. “My only sweetheart… sweet Luna.” “I felt your soft eyes as they were close,” I said, pointing a finger at him. ….Orion brought me to another place after our first bout. His thick, strong arms clutched me tightly to him and for a few seconds, the cold High Alpha was forgotten. He appeared to be gentle.It seems he had forgotten all about Cain.It appears he lost track of the war. As of now, only both of us matter in the world… right there. Orion pasted a soft kiss on my shou
"No," I finally opened my mouth, speaking fast. My hands reached out to touch his broad chest. "I was only worried about keeping the warriors safe. Cain has witches with him. He uses dark spells… We have to be careful!”Orion snickered, and grabbed me by the wrists and forced them to my side. "Let him bring his witches. He cannot stop my savage blood with his fake magic, and you, Ava, are the one who will help me destroy him!"I flinched. Me? Destroy Cain? Then suddenly, Orion bent down, and kissed my neck where I had the mark, making me sniff in thick air sharply. Afterwards, he reset a table before the both of us. “I… ish… n!” I snorted, my chest beating fast for the slight pain I felt. “Can’t you hold in for just a few seconds?” Orion yelled back, smiling at me. My breath stopped for a while. My body began to melt as soon as he touched me. It was crazy how much I desired him, and how much I needed him to touch my body. ‘He will soon fuck you!’ My wolf stirred in me, making my head
Then very fast, Orion opened the door and tapped my shoulders. “Let us go back into the hall!” I was shocked.…Conversations moved on and then continued again, as if everyone had been waiting for permission to whisper. Heads kept turning as whispers continued to spread too quickly to stop.Orion blinked and I shook my head with pride of owning myself to him.Suddenly, the rival Alpha’s eyes met mine again. His glare was clearer this time, but it had a feeling of disapproval that nearly looked like he was still expecting me to understand him. But then, I turned away.The rival Alpha looked away at once, his face turning red as he set his eyes on Orion again. I smiled, but I tried to control myself.‘Mock the rival Alpha well,’ my wolf stirred in me. ‘He must be such a great enemy… He only wants to touch your body and that will be very dangerous. Watch out!’‘Don’t scare me!’ I yelled back with my mind link so nobody would hear me.‘He is just a play rogue,’ I replied then I flinched.Orion tap
The summit hall started buzzing… Something was going to happen. The tension started. I sat right beside Orion, even though his orders had made it clear I belonged at his side, not anywhere else. My father, Elder Lynx, wouldn’t even look at me. His face was covered with shame.When it was time for break, a rival Alpha the eastern border leaned in too close to me. His voice was soft this time… as if he was tasting every word that came out of his mouth. “A beauty like you deserves better than a savage king, Lady Lynx.”I didn’t say anything. He repeated, his voice breaking perhaps because of what he had seen coming. “A beauty like you… really deserves…” Before I could pull away from the Alpha, a deep and low growl escaped his mouth through the air into the room. I sneezed hard. It was Orion. In one quick move, he caught my wrist and drew me very high up and led me to the next chamber. Afterwards, the door shut behind us.“You are mine,” he snapped, his word claiming me. “Everything on your
CHAPTER SIX THE CLAIM 8 Eva's POV) My heart was beating against my ribs. Mate? He uttered that word as if it were determined, as if he was more than serious… about it. I felt an immediate spark in me, and I was thinking I had my wolf in me. Orion looked over the counter at me. The din
CHAPTER FIVEMATED TO AN ALPHA ? (Ava's POV) I didn't sleep. I was worn out already, and feeling too cold was something else. I kept seeing Orion standing at his angry packland. I touched the warm granite stone in my pocket. It was real. I was now part of a dangerous plan. The next morning, I w
CHAPTER FOURSURROUNDED (Ava's POV) I sucked in a breath. They could smell me. They knew I was in the area, even from a distance, by scent alone. Orion raised his head. And suddenly, he looked at his pack straight in the eye, and he shifted his posture. From tired man to Alpha in an instant—p
CHAPTER THREESTRONG SCENT(Ava's POV) He supported me. I could feel the power in his hand. His face was right there in mine. Although his golden eyes were nearly black in the dim light, they were burning. “I was focused,” I whispered, trying to pull away. It was all just a bit too much. “You w
