Syrin has been poisoned!His face was white as snow, and his lips were purple, slowly losing their color. Gwen deliberately took hold of his hand, twitching at how frigid it was. "I'm fine," Syrin took a sharp intake of breath, letting out a dry cough and a clod of blood, spitting it out on the floor."You are not fine," Gwen whispered, looking over at her parents who mirrored the same expression of worry. "What are we going to do?""May I see, I know a few things about poisons" Luna Yaletha stepped forward, slowly taking hold of Syrin's hand, gawking at the black vein on his wrist that stretched up to his arm. She stared at it closely, instantly recognizing the dark magic as she trailed her finger on the black vein. "This is done by a witch," She disclosed and everyone gasped. "A powerful one that knows the essence of dark magic,""How can you be so sure?" Alpha Lannis grilled unsurely. They knew nothing about witches and he didn't know how a witch was able to poison his son. It took
In outrage, she hurled the tonic bottle on the table to the floor. She nattily whirled her gaze over to Oswald who was eating from a bowl of soup, without care as his mother threw a fit."Syrin is still alive?" The words passed her lips and they were obnoxious, she almost bit off her tongue."Hmmm," Oswald retorted without looking up at his mother, savoring his soup and humming at how delicious it tasted. "This is really good, Mother. I might come back soon to have some," He beamed, fueling the enthusiasm in her chest as she stormed over to him and snatched his bowl of soup, and crashed it on the floor. Oswald felt his heart plunge and he looked up at his mother with a shrieking pout. "Mother!"Yarkona scowled. "We have bigger problems than your stupid soup!"The pout on Oswald's face remained and he struck the spoon into his mouth and sucked on it and crossed his arms over his chest and threw his face away childishly."Like seriously Oswald!?" She clamored.Oswald sighed and removed
Syrin survived!The more he thought about it, the more lividity billowed in his being and he felt like exploding as his hand grasped the hand of his throne tightly till he felt it nearly crack at his mighty grip. He knew he shouldn't have trusted that bitch. She failed him once and she had failed him again but this time, the blow hit hard, his last tiniest bit of patience finally running out as he gawked at the witch standing at the front of his alter. "Do you have a death wish?" The question passed his lips, holding everything in him wishing to gallop off his throne and rip her to shreds. "How dare you show yourself to me?""Because I came with a new plan," Yarkona asserted and in a flash, Alpha Vaughan was before her, his fingers wrapped around her neck and her back being slammed on the wall."You do have a death wish, I can make it come true," The Alpha's eyes were as malignant as his words. They pierced through her skull while his grip pulled taut around her neck, cutting off her
(A Year & Few Months Later)"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GUINEVERE!!!"Gwen shrieked as a weight fell on top of her. Her eyes snap open and her mind regained consciousness instantly and she nudged Phoebe off her to the other side of the bed and threw the covers over her head but it was soon yanked off and Gwen grunted in displeasure, wanting more of her beauty sleep."Phoebe, go away. I need sleep!" She grumbled while the other she-wolf clambered on top of her."You are twenty today, why are you still in bed? It's time to celebrate!" Phoebe clamored, toying with Gwen's red hair till she was once again shoved off."We are not celebrating, Phoebe, and go away. My beauty sleep is vital. Go disturb Roxanne, it's her birthday too,"Roxanne was Syrin's mate, they met a few months ago and had kicked off. Though she and Gwen were not the same age, their birthdays fell on the same date."Roxanne has her mate, you don't have anymore except me," "I have a mate, Phoebe," Phoebe rolled her eyes. "One you ha
The journey to Black Fur Pack was one Gwen looked forward to. It had been more than a year since she saw those she left behind and excitement spurted at the thought of seeing them again.They reached Black Fur Pack at sunset. Gwen leaped in enthusiasm and ambled into the massive pack house, instantly spotting Onyx among others and darted straight into her arms, nearly sending both of them flying into the couch behind them."Onyx!" Gwen clamored.Onyx snickered, flicking her forehead. "Ain't you twenty now, Soldier. Happy birthday,""Thank you, I missed you so much," When the excitement died, Gwen finally acknowledged the others in the luxurious living room. Luna Yaletha beamed at her. "We heard it's your birthday today. We prepared a little party for you since you couldn't celebrate back in your pack,""That's not necessary but thank you, Luna Yaletha," Gwen returned the smile with a little duck of her head."Call me aunt, you would have become part of our family if you and Oswald h
"Seth," She gulped after the name departed her lips.Seth stood there, wearing only tight black jeans and leaving his upper body bare for eyes to feed and letting it drip with sweat. Gwen noticed his hair had gotten longer, the tips were brushing on his shoulders, and strands of hair on his forehead, and she could now finally make out the tattoos and know where they ended or were located. She noticed his toned stomach, and his abs that made her hands itchy to gild her palm down and feel them as she pleased, but she held back her urge and stayed gazing into his eyes that somehow reflected the night over her head.And finally, she noticed his scent. It hit her hard and made her insides pool with warmth and desire. His arousal was so thick and Gwen also felt herself leaking. She nearly clenched her legs. "Are you really going through a rut?" she tested the words and realized how absurd they were. Seth wasn't an Alpha, how could he be going through a rut?Seth took a quick breath and Gwe
Waking up in Seth's arms like this felt right and Gwen felt exhilarated as she snuggled closer in his arms, however, the grumbling sound of his stomach reminded her of the hunger she had been suppressing. With a sigh, she tore herself from his arm without waking him up.Gwen grimaced as soon as she stood on her feet, grunting at the ache on her joins. She sauntered over to Seth's wardrobe and got herself a shirt that fell to her lower thigh.Inhaling the scent, she unhurriedly walked out of the bedroom and entered the living soon after, and dragged her legs to the kitchen. Gwen grabbed herself an apple, sat on the stool beside the counter, and happily ate. However, she froze at the fourth bite at the sound of the front door opening. Gwen stood up and headed towards the front door but halted at the familiar face staring back at her with shock. Tatiana gaped widely, scanning Gwen over. "Y-you-,"Gwen tilted her head. Equally scanning Tatiana over. The last time she saw her was in the a
Oswald's taking-over party would be held in a few days and the pack members had been busy decorating and making sure everything was in order. Onyx wouldn't have helped out, she wouldn't have cared, she would have been in her bed, perhaps filling her head is with knowledge, then Gwen burst into her room, smelling disgustingly like Seth, Onyx didn't need to ask what they did, it was written all over her face and her scent wasn't helping.Onyx had to make sure the redhead didn't smell like anything before they walked out of her home and arrived at the pack house, helping others with decorating."Pass me the blub?" Onyx requested from where she stood at a ladder in the middle of the living room, trying to fix the lighting. She extended her hand out and Gwen gave her a white sparkling bulb.Onyx fixed the lighting and just then, her line of sight landed on a she-wolf who has mistakenly hit her hand with a hammer. A yelp left her, however, before Onyx could reach out to her, the girl's mate
