It was supposed to be a day of extravaganza for Black Fur Pack. Gwen was sure everything was precise, she and everyone were sure everything was going to end well, nevertheless, she had no idea how everything took off south.The tremendous main hall of the pack house was beautifully decorated, crammed with different packs who were there to witness and join in the spree.Gwen recalled standing beside the pillars and beside her were Onyx and Phoebe. They gazed as Oswald took over from his father, he declared his pledges and bonds and next was Ruel and the third in command-Paul. Everyone eyed with mirth as the three new leaders of Black Fur Pack stood in front of the crowd. It was adequate, everything was good, then it ensued.The vibration underneath their feet had everyone diverted, murmuring and reeling their heads in havoc. Gwen almost looked away from the stage, however, she saw the glint in Oswald's eyes and the way his lips slanted into a malignant smirk as he footed back and pulle
At this point, Gwen didn't think things could get any worse than sitting in the dark dungeons and having their packs be ruled by Oswald and his crazy mother, and his equally crazy mate. They were a bunch of knuckleheads."Did you get hurt?" Syrin looked at Gwen and the she-wolf shook her head."I'm fine," She sported a tiny smile for her brother and scanned around the still shocked faces of everyone, the incident five hours ago was still fresh on their minds and strike their bones whenever they think of the horror.They, Gwen, Onyx, Seth, Syrin, Ruel, and Logan were locked together in the same space of the smelly, dirty, wet, and rayless cell, having the slightest idea of what happened to the others the minute they were separated.They let the deafening silence own their midst, each person arranging their thoughts and putting things in order, however, the silence was soon intruded on at the sound of boots railing against the floor came to their hearing and grabbed their attention and
"Let go of me!" Gwen blurted as Oswald heaved her into his bedroom, hurling her form on the bed. Gwen instantly bared her teeth at him, her hand lifted to strick if he got closer."What makes you think your little mastery is going to do anything to me, there's nothing more powerful than dark magic," He smirked, holding his hand up and Gwen saw the familiar ball of dark energy on his palm. "Now, it's either you lay back down and let me fuck you or we do this hard way, I don't mind,"Gwen scowled. "Over my dead body!"Oswald's eyes were obscured. "That can be arranged," He got closer to her on the bed while Gwen got ready to strick.His aura shifted, and so did Gwen as an abrupt wind spiraled around her as a shield but suddenly, her body went flabby and a stampede of pain surged through her. Gwen screamed at the nappy pain."I told you we should do this the easy way, you wouldn't listen," Oswald jeered, slipping his shirt over his head and flinging it to the corner of the room. He got o
"Are you okay?" Onyx inquired, crawling over to Ruel's side, her gaze instantly landing on his rib where he was injured, "Shouldn't you have healed already?" Her eyes slightly magnified in realization, reached out to press her palm on his forehead and hissed at the heat. "Fuck, you have a fever!" Ruel took her hand off his forehead. "I'm fine, no need to worry, I will heal soon enough,"Onyx felt her heart break as Ruel moved away from her, resting his back against the wall, and suddenly, she felt guilt surging through her, knowing it was her fault he was shifting away. It doesn't matter, she told herself. It was better this way but she couldn't bare to watch him be in pain. She grabbed the hem of his shirt and lifted it to his chest, examining the injury, and her breath hitched at the three claw wounds at the left side of his stomach. "Why isn't it healing?"Seth left his place and approached his friend, squatting beside him and eyeing the injury, he reached out to brush a finger on
"So, have you decided yet?"Onyx sneered at the question, struggling with the hands that held her back from ripping out Oswald's throat, wanting badly to get rid of the smug smirk on his stupid face. "You should try again, bastard. You are in the wrong cell!" she growled at him, baring her teeth.Oswald swiveled and sauntered toward her, he leaned down to her height. He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Have you gotten prettier, Onyx? You don't look your age, your mate is one lucky man," He enunciated, trailing the pad of his finger on her jaw.Again, Onyx snarled. "What have you done with Gwen?" She mandated. Onyx always knew there was something off about Oswald, yet she never glid far, brushing it as nothing, now, she wished she had dug further, she would have found what she wanted but right now, it was pointless beating at a dead horse because Onyx was going to put the bastard in his place.Oswald sneered, patting her hair. "You will probably never see her again
"You should eat?" Tatiana peered expectantly, placing a little tray of food in front of Seth while squatting in front of him.Seth tilted his head, giving the redhead an expressionless look. "What are you doing here Tatiana?""I came to give you food, you were injured and must have lost a lot of blood," She retorted, keeping her tone feathery and almost innocent.Onyx derided from the corner of the wall. "You've lost your way soldier,"Hastily, Tatiana's jaw strengthened and she dashingly gawked at Onyx. "I don't think so, I did what I did to save myself and my family and if you quit being stubborn, Alpha Oswald might let you out of here," Only fools would go after Oswald, Tatiana had chosen to exclude herself from that list."Really?" Onyx tsked. "You are something else, Tatiana. You chose a man who ruined your home. What are you, his bed warmer?"Tatiana's pheromones spiked. "He didn't ruin anything, Alpha Zahir and Luna Yaletha deserve what happened to them. He only wishes to aveng
Seth scrutinized the guard standing outside the dungeons, then his dark gaze flickered over to the keys resting at the top of his pants, Seth gazed at them intensively. Seth needed to get out of here, his wolf crawled at the back of his head, irking him to get them the fuck out of the cell, he felt trapped, bounded and Seth realized his instincts had gotten strong since he acknowledged the fact that he might be an Alpha, he could feel the presence of his wolf getting stronger, especially knowing his mate was in the arms of a bastard like Oswald, he needed to get her out.Seth averted his gaze, flickering them towards his cellmates, searching their sleeping faces till Seth found a pair of cold eyes staring back at him across the dirty floor "What?" He uttered in a blank tone."I know what you're thinking and it's not a bright idea," Ruel shook his head disapprovingly."Do you have a better idea Ruel, I can't stay here knowing my mate is in danger, I swear to the goddess, I will kill Os
He didn't know where he was, the more he stared, the more the surroundings around him were foreign. He was known for his skills in the woods as the pack hunter but right now, Seth couldn't live up to that reputation. He was lost and he knew it and it was dark, not that he needed light to guard his way, the full moon was a reminder that he was a supernatural creature.It had been more than twenty minutes since he woke up with his face buried in a pile of dirt in the forest and it had been fifteen minutes since he started walking without a sense of direction while trying to figure out what Oswald was thinking tossing him in the forest like some manure. For how long had he been inanimate?One thing Seth scorned was not knowing where he was. He made him feel clueless, it made him feel almost frightened and the growl at his head said his wolf did not like it too. Unexpectedly, Seth's nostrils were graced with a familiar scent and he paused for a moment, his eyes widening and his legs movi
