'Caleb, any updates?', Dante mindlinked his friend who he knew was probably in bed with another she-wolf.
'Nah man, I was busy dealing with a rather important issue that required my attention immediately', Caleb chose his words carefully.
Dante gave a huge sigh. They were only supposed to stay here for one night but ever since he had that encounter with Jolene, he extended the stay for a week. He knew they were wasting important time but now that he knew he had a mate in this pack, he wanted to at least find out who it was. His heart knew it was Jolene so why did the other girl also had the same scent? Was he mistaken perhaps?
'Just make sure you speak to the witnesses by this evening' and with that Dante closed the mindlink. This was only supposed to be a regular mission but he could not stop thinking about Jolene and her gorgeous vibrant hair. He wanted to see more of her. No, he NEEDED to see her and know if she really was his mate.

'What do we do now?', Lucy asked Jo confused, they were still standing outside Dante's door.
'Well, he did dismiss us meaning we are free to go and do whatever we want', Jo clapped excitedly. 'Lucy, you told me you didn't have any hobby. Well let's go back to our room and I will share something special with you!'.
Lucy grinned widely as they walked back to the shared room giggling.

'This is it. I present to you the world's greatest treasure. A vampire novel!', with that Jo carefully removed her pillow to reveal the book she was currently reading.
Lucy gasped at the sight. 'Jo! Aren't vampire novels banned in our world. If our Alpha finds out, you could get into serious trouble'.
'That's why I told you its a secret. It took me a great deal of smuggling and bribing to get them in through the pack borders but they are worth it! This book is about my sweet Drake and Daisy', Jo said as she hugged the book and placed it closer to her chest.
Lucy started laughing at her newly found friend. 'I am honoured to share your secret now. Although I am not much a reader'. Those were the famous last words Lucy said as she spent the next three hours reading the novel Jo handed her.
Jo walked into the room to check on Lucy carrying a plate of fruits. She placed some grapes in her mouth as she watched Lucy completely engrossed in the novel. So much for not being a reader, aha!
'So, can I have my book back? I am on chapter 17', Jo casually said sitting on her bed with a smirk playing on her lips.
'NO! Please I need to know why Daisy is trying to run away from Drake. She is so dumb! Drake loves her a lot and she keeps trying to escape, big oof!', Lucy replied with clear frustration straining her voice.
A big laughter echoed in the shared room as Jo watched Lucy scratch her blonde head and start reading again.
'Well welcome to my world! Which chapter are you on right now? Has the character Cami...', Jo started before Lucy stopped her with a finger in the air.
'Uh huh, no spoilers please. I am only in chapter 12 right now', Lucy spoke again frustrated.
Just when Polly walked in through the door and eyed the room as anger started rising within her. 'What are you two girls doing here!? You both were supposed to be serving General D. Castiel. He is a freaking general! Do you have any idea how mad our Alpha will be if he finds out no was attending to the general?'.
'We got dismissed by him. And being the good obedient omegas we are, we came back to our rooms', Jo made a sarcastic comment infuriating Polly more.
'Jo this isn't the correct time for jokes. Even if you were dismissed, you know you need to stand outside the doors in case he needs you. Now off you both go back! Alpha Jayden has invited all the generals for a hunt and just pray the general has not complained about the lack of hospitality in Dark Slayer's pack', Polly ordered the two girls making them immediately leave the room.
As they walked back to the General's room, Jo stomped her feet angrily.
'Are you okay, Jo?', Lucy questioned her visibly angry friend.
'I am not! Being an omega sucks. You get constantly interrupted and get sent to work. I hate it', Jo replied with her eyes only watching the path in front of her.
'Well lucky we are both getting out of this pack soon then huh?'
'Yes, CANNOT WAIT', Jo emphasized the last words clearly.
'Cannot wait for what?', the familiar deep voice came from behind making both the girls jump in surprise. Much to Jo's discontentment, it was General Dante again.
'Greetings general. We were just about to attend to your chambers to ask if you required anything at all?', Lucy articulated slowly as she kept her head down.
'Well ladies, I am all good, just heading to the hunting ground. But I am sort of lost honestly', the general tried to look confused to see if Jolene would be offering to help.
We can aid you to the hunting ground rightaway', Lucy offered as Jo kept silent beside her.
'Thank you Lucy. I was thinking Jolene here could help instead', he said eyeing Jo again who had a blank expression on.
'Sure, GE-NE-RAL', Jo snickered. 'Follow me'.
Jo walked in front as Dante followed her shortly leaving Lucy standing alone.
.
.
.
'So Jolene. what's your back history?', the General broke the silence as they continued to walk towards the hunting ground.
'My back history is none of your business, General', Jo retorted not even looking at him.
'Then why are you masking your scent?', he asked making Jo stop right in her tracks. Her heart started pounding hard in her chest.
'How did he know? Heck, this was bad', Jo thought to herself as she gulped hard and turned back to face the amused general.
'I don't know what you are talking about', Jo's voice was stuttering as she said that despite her best efforts to maintain a calm posture.
The general did not reply as he just closed the distance between them. He was standing dangerously close to Jo as they got locked in a heated eye contact. Jo's hazel eyes staring strongly back at the General's golden swirly eyes.
'You cannot fool me Jolene. Unmask your real scent right now!', he barked at her using his Alpha's aura. Jo started getting weak at her knees as she felt his aura pressing more and more on her. It was getting harder for her to breath.
'Leave me..alonee', Jo squeaked though the mounting pressure she felt.
Dante shook his head sideways as he reached out to take her hands. 'Not until you reveal your true scent'. As soon he grabbed her hands and pulled her closer, she inhaled the woody scent again.
'Why does he smell so good?', she wondered as the general waited for her to do as he asked.
'This could be a trap. That's right, he was probably a spy from her previous home', Jo's thoughts pondered inside her head.
She could not risk revealing her true scent. Not to this possible spy, not to anybody! How did her life of laying low turn this chaotic so fast? She started praying to her goddess as the general continued watching her next move...
''I am only joking, Miss Jo'', Dante voiced with a smirk playing on his handsome face. Jo was not convinced he was joking. He definitely knew something and could see past her tricks. She needed to go back to her room later and mask her scent more. Also, she had to give some to Lucy but still needed to cover the rest of her scent. This was getting riskier by the clock. Nothing was coming in between her future plans and her, she has been on the run forever and she was getting tired of it. Sometimes, she even had to sleep with one eye open because of the dangers that were always lurking in the dark for her. Jo would get through this as she always did. Now she even had a stronger reason to fight for, which was to get Lucy out of this hellhole. 'Ha-ha. Do all the werewolves from the royal kingdom have such an impeccable taste in humor because, if so, I would need to strike the royal kingdom off my places to visit'', Jo snickered her nasty comment to his amused face. She quickly clappe
As Jo led Dante to the hunting ground, the bustling noise of crowd gathering got louder and louder. Much to Jo’s dismay, Dark Slayer pack had annual traditions of hunting and killing of demon slaves. These slaves were usually caught wondering the no-man’s border. Jo knew some of these slaves were not just exiled demons but a mix of also wondering elves, half fairies, and more creatures. Alpha Jayden took great interest in killing them every year in this so called ‘traditional hunt’. And Jo had a doubt the royal King and Queen were not even aware of this hunt. The hunting ground was filled with various looking slaves in shackles, all looking defeated and tired, signs of abuse apparent with the bruises on their skin. Jo flinched a little at the sight but quickly maintained her posture.All the higher ranked officials were seated in a tent above the hunting ground, looking comfortable and enjoying the parade. Jo knew all this hunting was really a validation they needed for their strength
Jo looked around as all the participants were getting riled up for the hunt. Big built commanders, warriors and officials were stretching and looked at ease with their chosen maidens by their side. Caleb chose Gina's sister, Evelyn. She was a shy she-wolf with the similar signature blonde hair except she was smart unlike her air head mother and big sister. Jo had spoken to Evelyn on some occasions before and she was impressed at how well articulate and kind she was compared to her family. Gina was still clinging on to Alpha Jayden and it seemed like she was going to be his chosen maiden for this hunt which was not a surprise. Gina was always by Jayden's side no matter where it was, Jo wondered if she was that desperate to be the next Luna of the Dark Slayer pack. Dante obviously was still holding Jo's hand tightly and she was getting more annoyed at this dark haired general who had the audacity to assume she was willing to be his partner. If she was not hiding in this pack, she would
Jo looked at the tall and dark general who was watching her very closely and for some unsettling reason, he appeared happy to have spotted her instead of being angry for the trick that was pulled on him earlier. ‘General, these two slaves are my old friends and not demons. I will be in your debt if you talk to our Alpha and release them after this hunt is over’, Jo worded herself carefully so as to not rouse any suspicion. Dante gave her a small smirk and decided to play along a little. ‘Are they werewolves too then? How did they end up in this hunting ground?’.‘Umm, yes General! They are werewolves who have been wrongfully captured in the hunting ground. Merely low ranked omegas as myself, hence we cannot shift like the other strong pack members’, Jo tried to sound as pitiful as possible, as a dazed Dante continued to watch her. ‘Why was she lying?’, he questioned himself inside his mind. He still could not figure out Jo’s true scent, but he wanted to believe that the mate scent e
Jo walked ahead of the two fairies who were gossiping nonstop behind her. If she knew fairies were such chatterboxes, she would have never made the deal!Dante won the hunt and there was a feast tonight in his name. But unfortunately for Jo, that meant she had to accompany Dante as his chosen maiden. Keeping his words, Dante talked to the former Alpha and freed Mina and Daya from the hunt. However, the two fairies decided to spend a week with Jo while a messenger was being sent to the fairy kingdom to have them picked up. Now she had to squeeze them into the shared accommodation. There were already three people in a single room, with the two fairies, it was going to be even more crowded.'Polly is going to kill me. And also, where the heck will I get a dress for the feast later, damn it', Jo wondered in frustration.As she neared the shared accommodation, she heard someone crying. Immediately she rushed inside to see Lucy bawling her eyes out.'What's wrong Lucy? Are you okay? Did som
DISCLAIMER: PLEASE AVOID S.EX SCENE IF YOU CANNOT READ DARK SCENES. *Same night of the feast*‘Daya puked on a guy she was kissing once’, Mina teased the pink fairy who saw rage and tackled her friend. Within seconds, the two fairies were engaged in a playful fight while Lucy watched on laughing. She felt bad remembering the earlier mistake and ruining the book for Jo. In fact, this was the first time Lucy had enjoyed something in her life. Jo had already changed her life so much for the better and she was grateful for that. Lucy knew she will probably ask for Jo’s forgiveness again even though Jo had already said it was okay. Afterall, Jo trusted her enough to share her secret. ‘Hey, Lucy’, Mina called her as the two fairies finally stopped fighting and straightened their hair and clothes.‘Hmmm, yes?’‘You should have totally seen the royal General earlier taking down the demons!’, Mina squeaked remembering Dante from the hunt ground. Daya shook her head up and down vigorously agr
Lucy's heart was hammering against her chest and she could hear herself palpitate. She walked slowly towards Jayden, who was watching her closely with his piercing emerald eyes and dark locks of hazel hair falling on his intimidating face. Once Lucy was within arms reach, Jayden pulled her towards him, making her sit on his naked lap. Lucy instantly blushed and tried to hide the redness in her cheeks. But Jayden stopped her hands from covering her face as he cupped her face gently. Lucy had never seen Jayden be gentle with anything in her life. He had always been the serious and conservative Alpha who would do anything for the pack's pride and name. Sure, he had many bed warmers but he always put pack business first, no matter what. Jayden saw Lucy's finger wound as he brought it close to his lips, placing light kisses on it, ''Be careful next time little mate. How can you be so clumsy every time?'. Lucy was conflicted with Alpha Jayden's changing personalities. One moment, he was t
It was quite incredible to see a royal legacy right in front of your eyes. Lucy only read about the Warrior packs and the Royal kingdom in the history book when she was a senior in high school. It traced all the way back to the moon goddess’s first creation when she gifted four descendant brothers with elemental powers: The fire, Ice, Wind and Sand. But peace never lasted long among the brothers as the great war broke for the fight of power. In the end, the Fire warrior pack came out as the undefeatable winner as the Ice Warrior pack was eradicated. The other two packs; Wind and Sand went on to become the neutral pack. Decades later, many small packs emerged and soon a rebellion brewed. The rebellion packs declared a war on the Fire Warrior pack who was the most powerful pack standing and was ruled by Alpha Ian then. The rebellion was followed by strange vampire attacks. It wasn’t clearly written in the history book after that, but it was mentioned that Alpha Ian’s mate, Sarah was mo
