Rose did not argue with the new plan. It would ensure that Rune does not suffer anymore because of the curse. Every other concern could wait. She needed him to get better.So, as she carefully wiped his face to keep it clean, she whispered, “Soon, you will feel better. Don’t worry about anything, Rune. You are going to be fine.” Her teary eyes could not handle how gaunt his face was starting to look. She looked away for some seconds, closed her eyes and wished they could disappear from the pack at that very moment. “Rune…” She looked at him again. “We are going back to Bruania. If staying there does not work, we will relocate to another country.” After a heart-crushing sigh, she kissed his forehead to remind him again that she was still with him. Then, she sat on the small stool next to his bed. She reached for his hand, replaced the washcloth in her hand with a new one, dipped it in water and started cleaning his fingers. “You know, travelling to other countries was something I wo
President Christopher was frightened by how much Kate’s plan worked out. The whole thing was too seamless. Based on her instructions, they found their helper, a woman named Natasha, who led them to the place where Rune and Rose were. As discussed, at the right time, Rose was separated from others per the desire of her wicked husband. As for Rune, who was unexpectedly not conscious, Christopher and his secret agents simply followed the men who pushed Rune’s carriage into the gateway. As Christopher’s little group walked through the light, he found the space weird. His heart could not rest easy; his palms itched, and his legs ached to leave. For a second, he thought he would die, but they thankfully reached Bruania before that could happen.“Sir, should we arrest them now?” One of his agents asked with a whisper. After multiple exhales, Christopher stood upright and watched as the men ahead of them glanced behind. They all ducked behind the truck shielding them and waited for the man
“I did it,” Christopher tried to tame his excitement as he walked into the multinational-standard laboratory his government had been secretly equipping. “I actually did it.” He glanced at the three he-wolves strapped to the stretchers. “Professor, how do we keep Rune alive?”The professor, a middle-aged man maddened by science and technology, swirled his chair to face Christopher. “Pres, you are here. Liquid is in prep right now.”Christopher rushed a breath out of his soul. The professor’s lingo was always changing, the only constant was how difficult it was to understand him. “Liquid? What liquid?”“The liquid to keep him alive. The bullets didn’t do a lot of damage to the tough guy, but these belts are slowly sucking out his energy. Since the belts are the only way we can hold him down, we cannot loosen them. We need him to be in the best shape, don’t we? So,” the Prof’s crazy eyes widened, “I am preparing a little something.”“I see. That is good.”“What should we do about the oth
“This… This is the pack,” Rune faintly commented when their journey ended. “So, back there…”“We were still in the human world,” Symon completed. “I am super confused right now.”“I have to find Rose. Other things can come after,” Rune said. But he soon realised that the weakness of his wolf was tampering with his head. He struggled with sorting out his thoughts. “Uh… do you remember the way?”The Beta relieved Rune of the burden of holding Keith. “The hideout is not too far from here. Can you feel Rose’s presence?”That question worsened Rune’s inner burden. “No. I don’t know why.”“Maybe she is asleep,” answered the Beta as he piggybacked the Omega. “If that were the case, I would still be able to sense her soul. But there is nothing.” Rune exhaled hard. “There is no use debating it. Lead the way.”They wasted no time. They reached the hideout, and the moment they descended the stairs, Beta Runabis ran towards them, a frown on his forehead. “Alpha Rune, why are you back?” the Beta
Catherine did not understand how she was patient enough to wait for President Christopher to show up. She was especially angry that when the human eventually showed up, his half-assed answers displayed no regard for her. He made her look so foolish, she almost slapped his head against the table. But, beyond her desire to make the human bleed, she still needed his connection to get rid of Rune’s mate.Speaking of Rune… It had been so long since she had seen him. As she wondered if he was doing fine, she headed into the gateway she opened and readied her soul to be healed by Rune’s precious sight. [break]Christopher could not believe that Rune escaped so easily.Sure, the man was of werewolf nature, but the silver element existed to tame the strength of that nature.So, just how did his precious weapon escape?Christopher tried to tame his anger, but he ended up denting a close by trash bin. If only that stupid professor had just allowed him to place guards in that fucking room! Wh
From the depths of her soul. Rose released a breath that shook her so much that her body stayed fixed, her eyes wide and unblinking. Her mouth gaped, she glared at the evil standing before her, and she cursed the day she met Richard in her mind. Then, she started to wonder if she had always been blind to his true nature. She should have suspected that he was not purely human the day he came to Rune’s house with a rabid, unworldly beast. She should have linked his obsession to find and destroy her to something supernaturally wicked.“Don’t sweat it, Rosie,” Richard said, his dark eyes and terrible smell returning to where they came from. “No matter how you beat yourself up, you will find out that there was no way you could have known my true nature. Even the pastors didn’t know. They were suspicious, but they didn’t know. Well,” he held his chin as if thinking about a deep detail, “back then, I was still human. I had not taken back my powers, so it was very easy to deceive other human
“He is still not back?” Symon’s worry was now very uncontrollable. It had been two days since Alpha Rune left to search for Rose. The Beta found it worrisome that Rune did not return with or without Rose, so he went out to find him. But hours of searching yielded no result, and his desire to find Rune waiting in the hideout was instantly crushed when he got there. “We have searched everywhere. We even sent some of our wolves to spy on the castle, but nothing has come out of it. What if something terrible happened?” Omega Keith could not hide his anguish. “I don’t want to think the worst,” answered Symon, his eyes tightly shut to help him endure the brewing terror in his soul. “I don't want to.”“But, his curse. Beta Symon, that curse is merciless. What if he is stuck somewhere, lying unconscious? We have to-” Keith slapped his thigh. He could not hide his anguish. “Where else can we search? What else can we do to find him?”Symon sighed as he sat to relieve the ache in his feet. “Th
For many minutes, Rose remained in that spot. There was no special reason, it just happened that she could not rush out of that room after the incredulous freedom she had just witnessed. Or perhaps that was the very reason. Her mind was still in awe of that mighty presence, one part of her rejoiced that Richard was no longer alive to torture her, while another part of her soul feared that the miracle she witnessed was a figment of her imagination.After shaking her head to clear her multiplying thoughts, Rose’s sorrowful lips formed a smile, and the slight ache that followed that motion assured her and the latter part of her thoughts that she did not imagine anything. She was indeed free from Richard, free from his demonic nature and desire to destroy her. She could now walk out and reunite with Rune, who she worried would be battling with severe frustration. So, she did that. She got up, walked past Richard's mortal body and left the room. Upon entering the next room, she met ma
Maxon never knew a day would come when he would enjoy the meals served by the castle chefs. He usually depended on the meals his wolf hunted in the dead of night. But on this very day, the food that the human nature of werewolves desired kept vanishing down his throat with great ease.Getting rid of Rune was that much of a pleasure to his soul. Even his irregular sleep lifestyle was easily fixed. “Maxon!” The sound of his mother’s rage was also music to his ears. As she rushed into the grand yet almost empty dining room, he watched her with a confident smile plastered on his face. “Where is he?”He put down the rib in his hand. He then relaxed and dared the Luna Dowager’s presence. “Who?”“Rune!”“Easy, mother. You are not so young anymore.”“Where…?” She bared her teeth. “... the fuck is your brother?”“In a good place. Don’t worry, he is not dead.”“I clearly told you-”“I told you to stop being nosy,” he calmly cut her short. “Why are you being so stubborn? How come all you ever s
Symon could have missed Rose walking into the hideout with the ex-Luna behind her. Thank goodness he listened to the voice in his gut that told him to stay back for a few minutes to rest.“Rose!” Omega Keith rushed to hug the woman whose eyes seemed to be searching for Rune’s presence. “Oh…” The he-wolf’s shaky voice pitied the human. “What happened to you? Who did this to you?”“Um…” She was still searching, her neck craning as though her mate would walk out of one of the nearby rooms with a grand smile. This view increased the sorrow in Symon’s heart, and tears inevitably formed in his eyes. He felt shitty, he could only imagine how worse the woman would feel once she learned that her mate was missing. As he turned to the side to wipe those tears, he properly noticed Catherine, who was also searching for Rune’s presence.“Catherine,” he sternly called her. “Why are you here?”“I know about it.” She shifted closer, her eyes rabid with desperation. “I know he is missing.”“Uhm…” The
