Nebraska was taking small steps and being able to stand on her knees without them bending on the spot, it still hurt, but she was hiding it from Noa and Alan who were doing their best to help her recover as quickly as possible.
At the other end of the room, Nicolas was sitting with some papers that he reviewed from top to bottom, with data from his old pack and now belonging to Hades, staying aside was not in his personality and he had asked the alpha to at least let him organize his family records.
-Ma, be careful, don't rush, you're doing fine- Noa held her with an arm around her waist, taking care of her every move.
-Anyone would say that I am your little daughter if you keep talking like that- joked the she-wolf for the first time in many years.
The instinctive connection between mother and cub was stronger than any separation that could exist, and proof of that was their children's acceptance of the fact that she had just appeared in
-I have to admit that you are tougher than a stone- Hades walked slowly, with his hands in the pockets of his pants, a few meters in front of the she-wolf. Nebraska had insisted on walking alone. She had told him, letting go of his arms, that if they continued to help her in everything, she would not be able to get up on her own, that she was grateful for her help, but that she needed to. Determined woman, with a strong spirit, she realized more and more that she met the requirements. It was still early days and he could not be captivated, after more than 600 years of firm conviction. The reign of the silver pack was not, nor would it be, of anyone. The omega stepped ahead of the other, measuring strength, distance, her breathing. Too many years had raged, she needed to train again and regain her strength as soon as possible. She was following Hades, who kept a decent distance, though still keeping an eye on her. The wall was her best support but when
Even Hades was impressed by his action. The growl in his throat wasn't just a warning. No, it was not the fact that he was touching her, there was something else that at the moment he did not know and it bothered him to the point of clenching his teeth. The brown wolf released her hands and got up cautiously, not liking the intense silver gaze of the alpha who seemed to want to move at any moment and rip his throat in two. He smirked and turned his attention to the she-wolf once he knew he would not be attacked. -My queen come, everyone will be very happy to see you- he was going to take her by the arm but stopped in midair. Hades's hand had come to rest on Nebraska's hip, and his gaze was warning her again to keep her distance. The omega for her part felt the atmosphere tense, and the reason for that was her. She liked to keep a low profile and having two wolves arguing with her person in the middle made her uncomfortable and in a bad way. -L
The cutting silence and tense atmosphere made more than one uncomfortable. The two moguls stared at each other. She had asked him to see her people and he had refused. Nebraska made a line of her lips and slowly got up, analyzing his every move, yet her knees creaked. Enduring the pain, she approached where the alpha should be and stopped in front of him, raising his head. Her smell betrayed calm, tranquility, not outburst as Hades imagined after his refusal. -I just want to see them and return to their normal state- -No- the alpha again denied. -Why?- She tilted her head trying to reason with him. -Are you aware of the state of your body? - His voice had lowered several tones -I would not take anyone in your condition to such a dangerous place- -Alfa, I'm a pure-blood omega- Hades did not understand the comment. -Take me and you will understand- Curiosity gnawed at him, what did she mean by that. He did n
One of the guards ran into the cell with an exasperated expression on his face. -Alfa, Commander, the wolves, the wolves- it was difficult for him to articulate words- all of a sudden they froze, their eyes changed color and fell unconscious- Hades looked at his brother who did not come out of his same impression. In his arms Nebraska could barely move, she had exhausted the last bit of energy she had left and would soon accompany her companions to a well-deserved sleep, but she did not want to. She shook his head in an attempt to wake up. The alpha felt the movement and paid attention to it. -Later I want you to explain to me in detail what you did, now rest- he removed the strands of hair that fell on his face. She denied. -I won't- His eyes closed and he opened them again with force. Hades understood and the way her small body began to tremble was the indication that the panic of being adrift at the mercy of strangers and in
Nebraska seemed to walk in her judgment and literally did. Sara at her side led her through one of the many wings of the mansion that she did not know. She seemed more nervous than herself. -Calm down Nebraska, you calm down- Her hands were sweaty and trembling slightly, that was not a good sign. They stopped in front of a massive oak door inlaid with metal and copper. The sound of it opening raised the skin of both wolves. Hades appeared with a serious and tense countenance, until he changed when he saw the omega. Her slim body with its proper recovered curves, clad in that silver dress, was beautiful. Her face seemed younger but she did not lose seriousness due to the hairstyle that kept her locks elegantly collected. The dark circles that used to make up her had disappeared and her lips seemed appetizing. He swallowed his tongue remembering when he had told her she was not beautiful. Not that she was the greatest beauty in the world, bu
She opened her eyes, her breath caught in her throat. The ceiling loomed over her in a clear haze that she recognized. She was in her room. She got up carefully. Every muscle in her body roared and she had to bite her lip to keep from crying out. What had happened? Where was it? What had happened to her cubs? The last thing ahe remembered was jumping into someone and all black afterward. There was an immense mental gap since hearing the words of that wolf. That wolf. What the hell did he think? He talked to her like she was a worthless trash. That had bothered her, but the last straw was that she was trying to put her fingers on her children and that would not allow it. The rage invaded her again and she tensed her arms in response, causing her repeated pain. -Are you awake? – The scent of the alpha from that place invaded her. It denoted disappointment, annoyance. He was uneasy. That struck him as odd coming from an alpha like ...
If there was one thing Nebraska had learned over the years, it was that tears solved absolutely nothing, so shedding them was in vain. Instead, she had many things to think about and to do, one of them was the state of her relationship with that alpha who, whenever he could, he mentioned that she was his. She couldn't deny that she had much to thank him for, he had done more for her and her pack than anyone else, even though the price was her body, which would soon lose its independence. She caressed the bite mark on her hand. That night when Rudoc tried to mark her after the wedding, she refused and it was precisely this skin that she had suffered. She had covered the back of his neck before he could bury his teeth and the pain he had felt was the worst in his entire short life, not even everything that happened afterwards could be compared to that. Canine venom designed to mark the neck, where its omega gland lessened the pain of the action, had penet
The frenzied laugh of the wolf invaded the dining room annoyingly. Everyone's attention was focused on those two females who were facing each other. More than one had risen from their seats to intervene. Despite having new members and adapting, they had specific orders from Hades not to attack any of them. There was always someone who played the goat foolishly and ignored the word of the alpha. That one, of course, ended up being punished. And this would not be an option. In the first, that wolf was threatening and insulting a defenseless cub, a fatal mistake, in the second she was messing with the one who had been the queen of the gray pack and the new protégé of the alpha. Like Sara, picking on her or her children meant offending Hades himself. But she was overlooking all that. Its orbs had turned golden. In the middle of the transformation and forgetting all warning she launched herself against Nebraska, in a jump waving her arms. Siran walked fast to inte
