In one area of the Devorare Pack, several werewolves gathered. Some were old, some were stern, some... didn't seem like they belonged amongst the group. Overall, though, each had their own aura of authority. Especially one certain Alpha at the center."Thank you all for gathering on such a short notice," William began."You say 'all', but we're missing a couple of peeps here, ain't we?" one young male corrected."Ignorant brat! You should know better than to interrupt your Alpha when he is speaking!" a cranky elder werewolf screeched."At ease, Elder Clayton," William spoke, instantly causing the elder to be meek."Apologies, dear Alpha. I am merely scolding this foolish boy," he reasoned."Apologies accepted. However, the boy merely asked a question. There is no need for you to get worked up over that." To everyone else in the meeting, the Alpha then said, "To answer your question, Fynn, as you all may know, Teach is busy training all our combatants and future fighters, so he cannot
It was now night time in the Devorare Pack. With the tour now done, instead of getting sent back to the dungeon, Ellie was allowed back to her guest house. At first, she was confused by the choice of destination and assumed Ashina and Morgan may have forgotten where she was to be placed after last night. Upon consulting them about her current living condition though…“We were told by our Alpha to tell no one about what you tried to do last night. Should we take you back to the dungeon and someone saw, we will be inclined to explain your new environment, which in turn will lead to us disobeying our Alpha,” Morgan informed her then.To say that Ellie was surprised would be an understatement. While she had a feeling the pair purposely kept silent about the happening, she didn’t think it was because William had ordered it. Though now this leads her to question…‘Why…?’ Why did William tell them to keep the incident a secret? For what reason did he- the Alpha of this dangerous pack- have t
“Oh? Then perhaps you can enlighten me on a few things.”Ellie’s eyes widened upon hearing that voice, and turned to the door, where Jengo was standing. One look at him, and memories of their last interaction came to her, leaving her with mixed feelings, being alone with this man. Not only did they find out they were true mates- in which Jengo almost instantly severed- but Ellie even spent a night with William, his boyfriend. She could easily imagine how much Jengo may want to at least brutally hurt her for that last part, even if doing so may cause indirect harm to the Alpha. Then again, considering how much he loves William, if hurting her can also hurt him, maybe the Beta won’t do it?“Well? Or do you think silence is going to help you?” Jengo questioned.Reminded of what was asked, Ellie already knew she wasn’t going to look forward to what he’ll ask. “Depends if you’ll even believe what I say,” she dryly answered.The way she responded to him ticked the Beta off, though he held b
As he walked away from Ellie’s temporary home, Jengo was just seething. It was not that he was angry at Ellie- though he did feel quite agitated from their exchange a bit earlier- as it was more that he was mad about himself. The reason being…‘This wasn’t how it was supposed to go… It wasn’t supposed to turn into an argument.’The way Jengo had planned it out after he woke earlier today, he hoped for their interaction to end with them starting off on the right foot. After he took that well needed nap, the Beta thought over what happened last night, and came to realize that Ashina may be a bit right about their treatment towards Ellie. At least, in his case, he may have been unfair to her.Surprised as he was to find that his long-fated mate was that of his own boyfriend’s, the one who must’ve been most surprised by this revelation had to be Ellie. She was just one werewolf, yet she was fated to have two mates? That must’ve come as a shock for her as it did for him. And yet… without e
With William, now that the meeting with the advisors and best fighters was over, he hastily returned to his office to get his remaining work done. He did promise Jen they would stargaze later tonight. Sadly, with the accidental death of the late Tony, the Alpha got more work dumped on his plate. Not much extra work, but still enough to keep him busy regardless.Thankfully, although death amongst the members of the pack would’ve made a huge fuss in any other group, in the Devorare Pack where ruthlessness was pretty much the norm? And there would be no mercy upon those who even showed signs of betraying the pack? Not one werewolf batted an eye when word got out of Tony’s unfortunate passing. If anything, from what William caught word of, there were some who were relieved that the guy was dead. From what he overheard, he had been causing too much trouble amongst them as of late, only behaving himself when William or Jen weren’t around. It seems there were some who wanted to report Tony’s
Meanwhile, in the Hermit Pack, things have been quite… ‘busy’ in that pack since William abducted/saved Ellie. ‘Busy’ as in people have been moving about nonstop in the pack. Whether it be doing patrols around the area or with their training. Not once have any of them had any rest, be they Omegas, children, or even the injured from their encounter with William. All the constant moving was leaving them all quite fatigued, with some lying on the ground unable to lift a finger, mainly the kids.“How is progress coming along with the trainees?” Steve asked a combat instructor, his right side now missing an arm, with the shoulder heavily wrapped and covered in bandages.“Depends on the sort of progress you’re looking for,” the instructor coldly answered, gesturing to the training ground… where many teenage werewolves were either on the ground in exhaustion or struggling to stay on their feet in some way.“This exhausted?” Steve questioned, feeling pity for these werewolves.“What’d you exp
Upon hearing Maddie granting her permission, Steve let himself into her house. While there was no change to the interior, the atmosphere within spoke otherwise, as Steve saw Maddie in the living room with her parents and a couple of elderly werewolves.“Steve! Just the werewolf we’d like to see,” a female elder exclaimed. “Please, you have to help us talk some sense into Maddie!”Steve raised a confused brow at the elder’s request. “Why? What’s wrong?”“What’s wrong is that Maddie here won’t cease the search for Ellie and… and Alpha William…” Aiden answered, hesitating a bit as he spoke the second name.He wasn’t the only who reacted with such fright at the mention, as the rest of the werewolves present also trembled when the notorious werewolf was brought up, including Steve. Maddie, though, was different, for she was more livid than she was frightened.“I refuse to give up!” she exclaimed. “That ‘William’ guy or whoever he is does not know who he was messing with! Not only did he in
“How is everything in pack?”How was Steve supposed to answer to that question…? How was he supposed to tell his girlfriend and mate… that things were not going well in the pack as she hoped them to be. Not only were the werewolves in training getting tired out, to the point where it was dangerous for them to continue such training, but even the werewolves on patrols… There had been no news on the whereabouts of Ellie or William. Considering the mood Maddie was just in, there was no doubt in Steve’s mind what she would do if he gives her his report.“Well, those in charge of supplies have gotten back a plethora of materials. Food, berries, medical herbs… Our supplies will last us for a good while, especially when the time comes for us to head to that war,” Steve began.“We do need to keep morale high in battle somehow. One way would be providing great amount of supplies for them,” Maddie stated, pleased with this one piece of news. “And what of the other matters? Any news on Ellie’s w
