Large black paws grabbed the wolf by its scruff. The wolf flailed around, trying to get away from its attacker, as it attempted to strike its attacker with the claws. But a pained cry escaped from his lips before his breathing came to a halt.The black wolf which was larger in stature let go of the brown wolf. As it fell on the snowy fields, its blood dyed the white ground red, joining the rest of his companions.The black wolf stood in the middle of massacred wolves, feeling proud of its masterpiece and appearing menacing. After that, the wolf strode away as indifference returned to its eyes, replacing the bloodlust.The steps left behind by the black wolf would soon be covered by the blowing snow.A couple of wolves howled upon seeing their commander make its way further into the border. They caught up to it and followed it before the black wolf signaled them to step away.They obeyed after bowing their heads in respect.Black wolf stood straight, staring at the sky, as its body soo
“He isn’t that old. He can easily create one more or could it be that he lost that ability. Now, that can’t be helped,” Ashlyn expressed in a relaxed manner as though this was no big deal.“Is this a joke to you? Even if his pack is small and the warriors are weaker, if he joins other packs, it would be hard on us.”“If a war starts, wouldn’t I be on the frontlines? Why are you sweating in anxiety when all you will do is stay locked up in a room and be protected like a helpless princess? Little Beta, why are you worried when you have me?”A sardonic smirk appeared on her face.The Beta, maddened by her attitude, slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, “Ashlyn!”“How cowardly? Isn’t it in our nature to want more? I have been looking forward to conquering more lands for the longest period. Things have been pretty boring recently.”“You should then stop thinking with your bloodthirsty instincts and gain a heart for once. Do you know how many pack members life are you endangering? I
The boiling anger inside her made her kick the small table. It toppled over, and the glass surface shattered. Everything on it fell down. After that, she threw the flower vase that was beside her hand.Before she could move on to destroying the couch, a pair of hand grabbed hers. Irritated that her movements have been disturbed, Ashlyn glared at the woman.“Now, Ash, remember how your pocket is empty? What will you do when Beta Elijah asks you to pay for the damage? Remember how he made you clean the entire pack house for not being able to pay for the damage.”Hearing the name of that man got her only to be more provoked. How was she always vulnerable to him?“Shut the fuck up!”She was about to go back to breaking things, not caring about the consequences, when the woman grabbed on to her waist.“Alright, that’s enough now. You are actually falling right into his hand by doing this. Why don’t we do something more practical with your strength?”Ashlyn raised an eyebrow at the redhead.
The bill amounted to a huge lot— one that Ashlyn couldn’t afford.Holding back the curses towards the scheming bastard, she knew she had to turn to someone for help. Therefore, standing in front of the door, she knocked on it.When permission was given to her, she pushed open the door to enter. After that, she slightly bowed her head to the figure inside.“Alpha,” she greeted.Behind the desk was her elder brother seated. Sebastian was older than her three years and couple of months, making him the rightful owner of the title which had been in his possession for good two years.Both of them bore a lot of similarity in their features with that matching black hair and eyes. He had an intimidating and overwhelming masculine bearing. He reeked off power and dominance.Those black eyes of his easily brought fear to one’s heart.In Ashlyn’s eyes, instead of being jealous of him, she saw him as a role model. There was always a lot to learn in her humble opinion every time her eyes fell on hi
“What’s with the doom and gloom?” asked Leah upon seeing her towering friend leaning against the old warehouse.Sweat covered her body as she folded her hands over her chest. Those eyes of hers showed her absent mind. The pack members trained in front of her, each engaging in a duel with other.“I have to attend the mate ball,” she answered.Leah licked the ice-cream in her hand, relishing the taste of the cold vanilla under the scorching sun.“What’s new with that?”Leah copied a similar posture to Ashlyn while her curious eyes probed her friend for further details.“As a participant without the inhibitor.”Caught off guard by that, Leah exclaimed, “Really!”Her friend’s enthusiasm made Ashlyn scowl at her.This got Leah to clear her throat and replace her expression with a comparatively solemn one.As though it was a matter of great misery, she expressed, “How terrible! How could he do this to you? He is your brother; he is supposed to be on your side. Do you need me to talk to him?
“Hiding for so long— I wonder what treasure you are wearing today,” Leah enthusiastically commented.Pushing the door open, she skipped into the room. However, it only took a second for her expression fall down, and immediate disgust showed in her eyes.There was Ashlyn standing in the middle of the room, strapping her holster into position around her waist. She wore white shirt paired with black pants. Her black hair was pulled into a neat ponytail— stray hairs falling on her forehead.“What are you even wearing!?” exclaimed the excited Leah.Ashlyn arched her eyebrows.“Can’t you see?”After that, she grabbed her blazer and wore it over the outfit. The black blazer was elegant and simple, going along well with her temperament.The frantic Leah stepped forward and grabbed on to her shoulder. She then said, “You can’t wear this to a mating ball. Does this even make sense? No wonder you wouldn’t let me see your outfit.”“Is there anything wrong with it? It cost me a fortune after all.”
Once she confirmed about the attendance of Beta Elijah, Ashlyn found herself in a panicked state. Due to Alpha’s orders, she couldn’t hide her pheromones either.Beta’s had sharp senses. Therefore, unless the distance between them was incredibly large, sniffing her out wouldn’t be difficult for him. Leaving the premises was out of question for her.Pushed to the edge, only one option was left for Ashlyn.Reaching out into her pocket, she took out a glass bottle and removed the cap. Pouring out one of the blue pills in her hand, she didn’t think twice before swallowing it down.The pill took time to work after all.Pheromone changing pills were considered illegal in most packs due to the deceptive nature. For most part, it was used for the sake of committing crimes and hiding tracks. If caught with pheromone changing pills, the punishment could be quite severe, depending on the situation.As the name suggested, the pills worked by changing the natural pheromone into other scent for a c
When the bell rang, lights flashed red around the room, alerting them of an emergency. Even though Ashlyn was prepared for the attack, it didn’t mean she wanted it to happen on this special night.All werewolves panicked and started to move haphazardly. The guards stationed were already working to gather them and calmly guide the women to the basement for their safety.Seeing how everything will be handled fine here, she knew she had to go outside to assess the situation. That’s when she noticed the fumes of gases clouding the room.“Everyone, hold in your breath!” she shouted.Just a whiff of that was able to get her chest and head to feel heavy. Noting the scent in her mind, she tried to figure out the components. She marked the few identifiable ones as toxic.Heading out through the crowd, her hand came in contact with someone else’s. When the spark travelled through her being, igniting passion inside her chest, her eyes widened.“Fuck,” a curse left her mouth.Trained to react qui
