"Move it along now!" The buff, big guard screamed after us. They had all tied Brian, Adeline, Sierra and Jeremy together with a rope, like a train and were constantly pushing them to get them to move faster but it was clear that Adeline and Brian were terrified and were frozen."I SAID MOVE IT!" The man screamed again and I have had enough. I used my werewolf strength to break the flimsy ropes which bound my hands behind my back and marched to the guy."Get back to your place wolf! Now!" He said as he came at me to probably tie my hands together again but I was angry and I channeled that anger and put my left hand on his right shoulder, bent in front of him and flipped him over my back.He groaned as he landed on the ground and the other guards started coming at me but I growled as loud as I could."One more disrespect and one of you will die" I said as I looked at them with nothing on my face, not even anger or a glare. I made sure to keep my face void of any expression and I guess t
"CALLAN!" I couldn't help but scream out to my mate. I started thrashing around in Paenoe's arms but he didn't let me go.Paenoe screamed something in his language and I watched as hundreds of hybrids formed a circle around the us, facing Callan and his wolves ready to fight."Paenoe! You need to fucking stop! You've lost! If my mate did everything I told him to do then the council and the rest of the world knows about you! If you kill us here, you'll be monsters in the eyes of all werewolves!" I screamed at Paenoe who looked at me with his face contortedHe was breathing heavily now and his grip on my waist kept on getting tighter and tighter. He looked around at the werewolves that surrounded him and his people and then looked down at me for the last time before letting me go.It took me a moment to register that I was not being held captive anymore but as soon as I was over it, I ran straight towards my mate.I pushed through the line of defense the hybrids had made and jumped stra
"How are we going to get back home?" I asked Callan as we stepped out of the huge stone gateway that led into and out of Blue Eclispe.After making sure Paenoe was locked away and no one would follow us, Callan and I led all the wolves out of the hybrid pack. Putting as much distance between Blue eclipse and us would be for the best."I have a way" Callan said and squeezed my hand which he refused to let go all this while.We all walked for a good 10 minutes, the army of the wolves trekking behind us. Callan stopped walking after a while and I saw his eyes go fogy.As soon as Callan's eyes went back to his normal black, an old woman emerge out of thin air in front of us which made me take a defensive stance reflexively."It's fine, she's with us" Callan said. I looked at him and then at the woman who now looked somewhat familiar to me but I couldn't place where I've seen her before."I see you've found your wolf back" The old lady said and her words suddenly made me remember. She's th
I felt someone tap my shoulder and I groaned. Urgh who the fuck is interrupting my sleep?!?!"Anaïs" Someone whispered and felt my shoulder being lightly shaken.I am going to kill someone today....I slowly opened my eyes and turned in the direction of the annoying ass person who had interrupted my sleep."Finally!" The person said and then jumped on me. I quickly shot up and flipped that person off the bed."CALLAN!" I screamed and the intruded groaned."Anaïs what the fuck?!" The intrudere screamed and starting getting up. I was about to pounce on them and attack but..."Sam?!!?" I said as I saw my best friend stand up, holding her head with her hand."What the fuck are you doing here" I said as I rushed towards her, worried I might've hit her too hard."I- my mom just told me you were successfully rescued and I wanted to see you and Alpha Callan said I could just go in this room" She said. I carefully led her towards the bed and sat her down."I'm sorry... I thought someone was at
"Callan I'm headed to the pack house" I mind linked my mate for the last time before I jumped forward and changed into my wolf, mid air.I sprinted forward, kicking back the ground as soon as my paws touched it. I kept on praying to the goddess in my mind again and again as I raced towards the pack house to protect our pack."Everybody is at the pack house. I'll meet you at the entrance" Callan's voice flowed into my head. His voice seemed sort of calm which helped calm me down as well.I slowed my pace as I neared the pack house, making sure to keep my eyes and ears open. Even if it wasn't an attack, the alarms are only sounded when there's danger so I had to be careful.As I came out of the forest and onto the path that led to the pack house, I could see Callan standing at the entrance. I sprinted off and skidded to a stop in front of him.Callan walked up to me and I quickly changed into my human skin and jogged up to him to meet him halfway."What is it?" I asked my voice laced wi
I stared at the girl wide eyed as did all the other people who were present in the sitting area."Paenoe's brother? That's the person responsible for the attacks right?" Callan asked as he stepped right next to me.The girl ignored his question and continued to look at me. Her disrespect almost made me roll my eyes in the presence of Callan's parents."Yes that's who she is talking about" I replied instead of the girl."But why would you help us?" I asked as I fixed my stare on the girl again.She looked around the room, rubbing her hands together clearly uncomfortable all of a sudden."We all know what happened....the people who died. I couldn't sleep at night thinking about them...thinking about all the people who died just so Paenoe could continue being Alpha" The girl said as I watched sadness fill her eyes.If this was a movie, I should've been overcome with that feeling which would make me feel what she was feeling... The feeling actors get in their gut and believe someone they
"You don't look so good Anaïs" I heard Callen say and turned around, momentarily diverting my attention from the report files of my expedition."I'm alright" I groaned out meekly and turned my attention back on the reports. The meeting of the leaders was in less than an hour and my stress levels kept on rising as time went by.After out confrontation with Melina, Callan and I went back to our room to prepare for the meeting. Callan was done announcing the meeting while I panicked about our current situation.Things were getting serious, more serious than they already have been. Now we had some girl telling us she can lead us to Kajokh, the man who killed so many of our kind. If she's telling the truth then we would have to risk a lot of lives if we want to end him but if she's not and it's a trap...then a lot more lives will be lost."Anaïs you're looking like a ghost, something is wrong. Let's go to the pack doctor, you're sick baby" Callan nagged again and I could suddenly feel irri
"Are you sure you want to do this? It seems like a huge risk" Alpha Freya asked as I laid down my plan in front of all the leaders.After the doctor gave me an all clear, Callan and I immediately set up a meeting in the conference room 2 so me and my team could talk about the findings of our expedition.The reactions were just as we expected. Suspected necromancy, True Leaders, Skeleton elders...everything was beyond our imagination. But I guess if werewolves and other supernatural creatures exist then why not necromancy? And talking skeletons?My stay in the hospital allowed me time to think about Melina, the hybrid girl. All we had to do was ask her where Kajokh was and see her out of our territory...what we do with the information she'll give us was on our shoulders.And I had made a decision, a decision which clearly did not sit well with my mate nor the rest of the pack leaders."It's the only way. We can't just ignore this. I know it's dangerous and idiotic to be honest but this
