We went to the dining hall and Nathan will be dining with us. Tiffany took a look at me and narrowed her eyes towards me before turning to Nix."So, Nix…" she said, pursing her lips. "What would you say if I told you Ruby had grabbed Etheral by the scruff of her neck and dragged her away?"Nix raised his brows but kept buttering his dinner bun calmly. "If you're referring to the event earlier today, I'd say thank you. Ruby did a great job."Nathan listened to the conversation and when he realized that Nix wasn’t bothered by the fact that his mate was taken away like that, Nathan appeared perplexed."How can you keep your cool when someone grabs your mate by the scruff of her neck?" Nathan asked.He was genuinely curious, whereas Tiffany was still looking at me, ready for vengeance. I allow Nix to feel their emotions via the mate bond so he wouldn't make a mistake about Nathan’s question. Ruby didn’t find her action wrong at all and, as she sat beside me, I could feel her curiosity at

So far, I have no complaints about the attitude of the pack members per se. But as I leaned against a tree, fuming silently. Nobody seemed to notice I was sitting on top of a tree near the side of the training field. I was watching Nix every second from afar. Nix was instructing an adolescent on how to correct his form while performing a specific fighting move, and he was so focused that he was unaware of my bad mood.To his credit, he was mostly unaware of the blonde attempting to flirt with him. He had noticed a couple of her attempts, but he was uninterested and ignored her. It was the only thing that made me feel better in this situation.I couldn't exactly act too envious or show that I am an overreacting mate because I couldn't win a fight with anyone here. No amount of training could change that; as a runt, my speed, strength, and stamina would never be comparable to a full-grown wolf. Sure, I had a few rogue tricks up my sleeve in case I was cornered by unpleasant wolves, but
Chase Chapter 45 | Halt
I perked up an ear back and attempted to pick up my pace. It didn't make a difference. I came to a halt with a sigh and turned around before sitting, facing back the trail where I had run. With a grin, the black wolf bounded down the trail and skidded to a stop in front of me. I looked at her with a wolf grin.At this point, Ruby was catching on quickly. When it came to tracking and concealing her tracks, she was on par with the most experienced rogues. Pack members who knew her ferocious attitude before were gradually growing accustomed to her more laid-back demeanor, and they had begun underestimating her in fighting practice. Much to Ruby's chagrin, they shouldn’t take on her easily for she’s still an excellent fighter.Innocently, I jerked my head. "Nice to meet you out here, Ruby. You appear to be in a good mood today.""For no strange reason, I am sure. How can one not be happy on a day like today?! The sun is shining and the birds are singing!" she chuckled, and her falsely ove

"Nix? Could you please let me up?"His snarls had subsided to a steady stream of low growls. He didn't say anything in response to what I said. My intuition told me that he didn't even hear me. He was so far out of his natural state of mind that he was rather thinking on an instinctive level. I sighed and crossed my arms in front of me, resting my chin on my arms to wait. Nix's frantic digging earlier had resulted in a rock hitting my ribs and dirt falling out of his fur.I was starting to get irritated. I was exhausted from a hard run with Ruby earlier in the day. I simply lacked the reserves of a normal wolf. It was vexing, especially when dealing with an Enforcer who worked nonstop."Earth to Nix..." I murmured, reaching out to gently tug on a tuft of fur on his ankle. His weight was now bothering him. I tried to wiggle out, but it was futile. I couldn't move an inch. The rock beneath my ribs was beginning to dig in painfully. I shifted into my wolf form, relieved that the rock was

"You're going to be the death of me one day..." Nix grumbled as he walked beside me, holding my hand, back in human form.My head shook. "You were supposed to chase Ruby, not sabotage my treasure hunt under that burrow.""From what I could tell through the mate bond, you were stuck; it's dangerous down there; if one of them collapses or caves in, we might not be able to reach you quickly enough."As I continued walking, I rolled my eyes. "Thank you for your confidence. I have never gotten stuck in a burrow for more than a few moments, and if I did, I could have called for help. I have never had a tunnel collapse while I was in it. Keep in mind that when I was a rogue, I went into rabbit burrows and climbed trees on a daily basis, and I even slept in a rabbit burrow almost every night. You didn't have to destroy the rabbit's home like that."Again, Etheral, as far as I knew, you were certainly stuck. I couldn't see you, and I thought something was wrong. I was worried that I wouldn't b

I rolled over and poked Nix's chest gently. "Why exactly did you set your wake-up call so early this morning?" I mumbled, my voice dry and sleepy."I need to meet with the Alpha before he has to leave," he groaned, barely awake enough to speak.I sighed and washed my face with my palm. "Well, you are ten minutes late.""What?!” In an instant, he sat upright. “Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" He jumped out of bed and gathered his belongings.I sat up and stretched my arms while drowsily watching him. "How was I supposed to know why you set it so early? Even I don't get up that early even if I am always the first one to wake up."Nix kissed my forehead before quickly exiting the room to take a shower. I got out of bed, shook my head, and laughed.Nix had been so kind as to arrange my clothes on the dresser for me. I took hold of my pants and wiggle them out. By that, something clattered to the ground. When I looked down, the pregnancy test had escaped from the toilet paper, and both w

I took a bite of my apple as I examined Tiffany's new shoulder accessory. I smirked, observing Tiffany’s calm demeanor today. Nathan was much more at ease as well that he had left his imprint on her collarbone."Well, now I know why you two were conspicuously absent last night," I said, trying to break their flirting moment.Tiffany grinned at me, unapologetic. "We made it longer than you two did, and Nathan has told me that he loves my lingerie collection."Nathan leaned in close to her ears. "Ah, but they're much more beautiful when they're on your body."His whisper was soft, but our hearing was sharp, and we were close right here with them.Chloe shook her head, slightly disgusted, and said, "Okay, you two, not at the breakfast table, please."They both smiled at Chloe before returning their attention to the drool-worthy breakfast meal but still serving each other and finding ways to flirt. I shook my head and can’t complain for Nix and I have done those things absentmindedly duri
Chase Chapter 50 | Hidden
My head shot up an hour later when I smelled a strong and odd scent from the west. I mindlinked Ruby, "West… Watch the forest to the West! Something is approaching, and it isn't ours!"I know that Ruby was aware of it too but I couldn’t help but communicate everything that I sense. Now that they were close enough, I could detect the attackers. At least a hundred people were approaching, and none of them belonged to our Starblood pack.Over the last hour, all of the fighters had gone silent, leaving the safe house fighters nervous and on edge. Those who went to scout also went silent as soon as they encountered the enemy. The strangest thing was that they were all still alive. We didn’t sense any deaths among our pack members.This was the closest safe house to the approaching group, and they were clearly on their way here. As the attackers appeared along with the town in both wolf and human forms, I sensed our fighters becoming agitated and uneasy.They advanced slowly until the fight
