*KINCAID'S P.O.V*
THAT FUCKING BITCH!
He licked the inside of my mouth to ease the burning pain.
She had done the exact opposite of what he said. Too much sugar. Bad coffee seeds, he could feel them stuck between my teeth. And the coffee was very hot. Scalding hot. He took one sip and felt the hot liquid burn his tongue, down his throat, and settle in his belly.
He could not see her facial expression but he heard the smirk and amusement in her voice as she excused herself and walked out.
"You should learn not to disrespect females, Kincaid," His mother said after Adrienne had gone. "Even if you are the strongest alpha in the world."
He snorted. "Women should learn not to grate the nerves of men stronger than them," he eyed the cup of coffee in his hand again and then took another sip. I must admit, it's pretty good, he said to himself and Caer nodded in agreement.
But he hated her guts and bravado. <
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*"YOU HAVE NO idea of what you are doing," Thea said in my head like I didn't know that. I hoped I was poised as good as the character I was copying from a movie. I held my fists up."Engage!" Delta commander Adam yelled.There was an arrogant smirk on Lucy's face as she circled me. Was she waiting for me to attack first? If so, we were going to be here a long time. My gaze strayed to the part where Kincaid and Liam sat. What were they doing here?There was an intense look on Kincaid's face. I was expecting him to sit back and enjoy the pummeling I was going to receive from his "girlfriend", but instead, he didn't seem to enjoy this at all. He looked angry and --Pain radiated throughout my whole body from my lower thigh where Lucy had just kicked. I didn't even see her move, maybe because she was lightening fast or because I was distracted by Kiincaid, who should not be here anyway --Another yelp almos
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*"IS ANYONE THERE?" I called out fearfully. This was Rogue County and I knew it. I was in dangerous lands, but I couldn't see anyone out there.I turned a full circle, it looked like I was alone, but I could feel a presence nearby. I glanced in the direction from where I had heard the snap of a twig. Although it was afternoon, the depth of the woods was darkened by the canopy of trees. I tried to get my bearings right so I could return back to the pack.After standing in a spit for almost 5 minutes, I finally admitted to myself that I was lost."I guess that means we are without a pack," Thea said."It looks so," I replied as I continued walking in what I hoped was the right direction. I was on alert, I could still feel someone nearby, I just couldn't place where the person was.My mind drifted back to Kincaid, and I felt the anger swell up in me again. I wanted nothing more than to make him pay for
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*I LOOKED UP when I heard another snap of twigs. I tried to scramble to my feet quickly, ready to run and hide, but Alpha Ezra stepped out of the woods. He looked at the mess around and carefully sidestepped one of the dead men. "Did you do this?" He asked me. I looked at him dumbfounded, I thought it was him who had saved me. "What? No." "Who did?" He came to stand by my side, still looking around on alert. I shrugged. "A very strong alpha wolf, but he didn't say anything to me. He simply ran away."He sighed and sat down beside me. We remained in a comfortable silence for a moment. He sighed again and suddenly said, "Do you know why I agreed to bring you along with me from North London?" I shook my head and looked at him. "It was because of the mark on your neck," He said. "Where did you get it?" I subconsciously rubbed the mark. "Some rogues attacked my pack when I was little. They took me as hostage to leave the pack unharmed,""But... you have come to real
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*HIS HEART MELTED as he watched Adrienne break down and sob into a tree. From what he could see from behind the shrubs where he hid, there were a couple of rogue corpses on the floor. He wondered if she had done it, but no, he could perceive the faint scent of another wolf. He growled quietly as a protective surge filled his body.Just as he was about to come out of his hiding place, he saw his father walk out and approached Adrienne."What are they talking about?" He asked himself. The wind dispersed their voices, he could not listen in. He saw his father sit beside her as they conversed."Does that mean she and my father are becoming best buddies?" He snarled, still trying not to make a noise. He sniffed the air again, the scent he had perceived before was quickly dissipating because of the breeze. But he hadn't recognized it.He shrank deeper into hiding as his father stood up and pulled Adr
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*I WAS WELCOMED into the packhouse with a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen. I followed it, Luna Amelia and another short stubby woman stood at the cooker."Oh, Adrienne," Luna Amelia said, smiling warmly. Her eyes immediately widened. "What happened to you?"I looked at myself consciously. I looked like I had just survived a train wreck. Thorns and leaves hung around my hair, my dress was torn and I had scratched lining my arms and knees. My face was also bruised from the hit by one of the men. But I shrugged and said, "I got lost. Alpha Ezra found me and brought me back.""Oh, sweet child, we should have told you about how dangerous our borders are. The borderlands are inhabited by very dangerous wolves. " Luna Amelia said."Alpha Ezra has tried to induct them to be with us," The other woman said, "We will welcome them warmly. But they did not agree and preferred to remain rogues. I don't know how they enjoy being so fer
*KINCAID P.O.V*"WHAT WAS THAT all about?" Liam asked coming to sit beside Kincaid. His head was still processing what his father had just said."Come, I need to dress up, " Kincaid said, walking out of the bar. "Hey, Jeff, the bar is yours again." He chuckled at the barmaster who was standing outside patiently. Jeff laughed, "Stop by anytime, Caid."Kincaid snorted. Liam jogged behind him. "Are you going to tell me what your father said?" Liam asked as he caught up.Kincaid shrugged. "Maybe. I need to get dressed first." The ends of the bathrobe flapped against his knees as he walked. He pushed the front door of the pack house and walked in."Caid, is that you?" Luna Amelia called."You know it's me," Kincaid muttered under his breath. "It's us, Luna," Liam replied."Oh, Liam dear," Luna Amelia said. "Do come to the kitchen for a minute, will you?""Why did you respond?" Kincaid grumbl
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*WHAT WAS THAT all about? I asked my wolf who simply sighed and purred in my head. Why did you relax to his touch? You would be giving him the wrong impression, I snarled as I packed my plates and stood up.He would be thinking that we wanted him, I put my plate in the dishwasher.We do want him, Thea purred in my head.What?! I gripped the dishwasher."Oh don't worry about that, darling," a woman said from behind me. "I will take care of that." She gestured at the dishwasher with my plates.I nodded at her gratefully and walked out, I needed to have a very long conversation with my wolf.What do you mean by "we want him"? I snarled. I do not want that egotistical, hard-headed but sinfully handsome future Alpha, I scoffed. His audacity to come from nowhere and start questioning my eating habits like it was a crime not to be a glutton like he was.The hot aftern
*KINCAID'S P.O.V* HE COULD FEEL Caer swell with pride as Adrienne pledged herself to him. This was the first time they were inducting someone into the pack like this, using a blood pact and in a closed environment. The bond forming was so strong that as soon as Adrienne spoke the words, she swayed on her feet and slumped. Kincaid immediately caught her and held her close.Some years ago, Alpha Ezra had opened his borders to surrounding rogues that wanted to join in and many wolves from the borderlands had trooped in. Kincaid had watched from behind his room window, wondering why his father would do such a foolhardy thing like that. Rogues were rogues for a reason. They had committed some kind of heinous crimes that had caused their banishment from their packs. He had watched as they had all pledged themselves to the High Moon pack. It was also a solemn event, but not one as ceremonious as this.His father pulled Kincaid's hand away from Adrienne's lips, he stopped himself from growli
