Eira's face twisted with disgust as she spoke, her voice filled with unease. "Even the mention of that lake makes me queasy. Didn't uncle Patrick mention about it to you?"
Amethysta replied calmly, attempting to soothe her friend's exaggerated reaction. "He did mention it only yesterday, but there's no reason to get worked up, right. The lake seems harmless and peaceful. I'm not afraid to go there. It's not like I will encounter any lunatics out there." Eira scoffed, clearly uninterested in discussing the lake any further. "Alright, forget it. Now, spill the beans about this Icarus guy. How did he come there?" Amethysta hesitated. "Well, it was odd though. He said he came there became his mother brought him there in his childhood. Moreover, That day he called me 'Angel,' and yesterday he called, 'Princess.' It's almost like he's two different people, even though he looks exactly the same as he did in the bar." Eira chuckled, seeing through her friend's confusion. "Oh, you naive thing. It's pretty clear he's into you. That's why he keeps coming back. not to mention, he mentioned about his mother." Amethysta shook her head, dismissing the idea. "You've got to be kidding. He probably just wanted to relive some childhood memories. Plus, I'm just a regular girl. Why would he be interested in me? I don't want to get tangled up in any complicated stuff." Eira replied sarcastically, "Well, aren't you modest, girl." Eira rolled her eyes, and Amethysta chuckled softly. Deep down, her heart couldn't help but ponder Eira's words. Could Icarus really have feelings for her after just two meetings? She pushed those thoughts away as they enjoyed a day outside, skipping class and relishing each other's company near the college. Unbeknownst to them, their every move was being observed, not by one, but two individuals. Icarus couldn't help but admire the beauty of the purple-eyed girl before him, reminding him of their mother. "She's as stunning as our mom, don't you think?" he remarked to his twin brother, Isaias. Isaias nodded in agreement. "She'd make a great queen. Can we make it happen?" Icarus's expression turned serious as he thought about their mother's whereabouts. "Before we make any decisions, we need to find out more about our mother. Once we have that information, we can decide if she's fit to be our queen." As Icarus licked his lips, his attention fixed on the giggling Amethysta, who was enchanted by a cute puppy, Isaias couldn't contain his desire. "I can't wait to taste those plump lips of hers. They're so enticing." "Control your pheromones, Isaias." Icarus warned Isaias who seemed lost control of his pheromones. The twins secretly followed Amethysta, eventually leaving the scene. Amethysta turned back, sensing an eerie presence but finding nothing out of the ordinary. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Eira asked, following Amethysta's gaze. Amethysta shook her head. "Oh, it's nothing... I just had a weird feeling like someone was watching us. Probably just my mind playing tricks on me. I've been easily distracted lately." Eira playfully retorted, "When are you not distracted? Come on, let's go." Eira pulled her friend along, while Amethysta kept glancing back intermittently, unable to shake the unsettling feeling. Near an abandoned factory, a sleek Lamborghini was parked. Inside, the two brothers, Icarus and Isaias, discovered a man who had been badly beaten and was barely conscious, along with their uncle Jonathan. Icarus took a seat. "How's it going, Uncle? I trust you appreciate our gracious welcome." Icarus greeted their uncle with sarcasm. Jonathan, groggily looking at Icarus and Isaias, who radiated an air of authority. "Icarus, Isaias... why... why have you abducted me? What have I done to deserve this?" His words stuttered. Isaias, seething with anger, clenched his teeth. "What haven't you done wrong, you despicable scoundrel?" Icarus shook his head, attempting to maintain his composure. "Just answer one question, Uncle. For our father's sake, I might spare you. Where is our mother?" Jonathan remained silent, unable to provide an answer. Icarus continued, "You see, Uncle, despite everything, our father still holds some regard for you. Yet, what did you do? You harbored ill intentions toward our mother and betrayed us for your own gain. You are a true turncoat." Jonathan's eyes widened in shock, unable to fathom how they knew about his treachery. When they were discovered by the pack, they were just children. Desperately, Jonathan pleaded, "I... I didn't do anything. It was the pack leader's idea. Spare me, Isaias." Icarus sighed, disappointed by his uncle's denial. "Tsk... Uncle, how can you not recognize us? For your ignorance, you deserve punishment, don't you agree, Isaias?" Isaias, seemingly deep in thought, continued the charade. "Yes, brother. But what punishment befits him? My imagination is running wild." Icarus suggested, "What about electric shocks?" Isaias brushed off the idea, proposing something more sinister. "Nah... how about stimulants? A hefty dose of stimulants could be quite intriguing." A wicked smile crept onto Isaias' face, sending shivers down Jonathan's spine as he lay on the ground, still recovering from the beatings. Jonathan pleaded, fearing the impending agony. "No... please... don't do that... it will trigger my rut..." Icarus nodded, approving suggestion, seeing it as a fitting punishment. "Excellent idea, brother. But do we have the required supplies?" Isaias proudly revealed a vial of stimulants. "Who said we didn't? I've got it right here." Without delay, Isaias injected the stimulants into Jonathan's veins. The pain swiftly seized him, causing Jonathan to writhe in agony on the floor. "Please, give me an inhibitor... this is torture." Desperate to alleviate his suffering, Jonathan begged for an inhibitor. Isaias taunted him. "How about the scent of an Omega? You always had a penchant for young Omega pups, didn't you?" "We should leave, Isaias. We don't want to arouse our father's suspicion." Icarus intervened. They shouldn't let their father know what they were doing. not so soon. Icarus patted Isaias on the shoulder, signaling their departure. Ignoring Jonathan's pleas, the brothers walked away, leaving the tormented man behind. As a parting gesture, Isaias tossed a glass tube containing Omega pheromones, saturating the area with their intoxicating scent. Jonathan screamed in pain, while the barely conscious man in the room also experienced the effects of the omega pheromones, albeit in a less aware state. The combined torment of the pheromones and stimulants was excruciating for Jonathan. Icarus hummed in agreement, their determination driving them forward. They paid no heed to Jonathan's painful screams as they reached their car and departed from the factory. The echoes of his suffering lingered, a chilling reminder of the brutal reality of the rut. Unbeknownst to Amethysta, everything was intertwined from twenty years ago. Until the twins found their mother, they would not rest. But little did they realize that an innocent soul had become entangled in their dark and perilous journey.The commotion in the pack increased when the family members received David's body. The deceased man couldn't rest in peace, that's how his body was looking like. The family members only seek the Pack leader for justice and don't know the cunning man's motive. "My husband was killed brutally, How could they do that to him, to us." David's wife stumbled on the ground and cried. Their children also cried with the weeping mother. "You should calm down, I will definitely find the culprits.""How should I believe you? You didn't take any action for the people who got kidnapped, and to be honest, they were close to you in the past." The truth came out, Luther was not in the mood to hear any nonsense. It was true that he didn't take any action against the kidnappers since he knew who it was. The past bad deeds he did will fade with the death of those three victims. He didn't have to stain his hands with blood. "Believe me, Daisy. Things are going out of my control. I will definitely find
"The final exams are coming, we should focus on our studies." Isabella leaned on the bench with a loud huff. Just a few minutes ago only, the professor informed the students of the students. Amethysta's fingers flee across the mobile, texting someone. "And we are going to finish the college already." She murmured. "After exams, I'm gonna go out with Mateo on his business trip." Eira was thinking of the plan already since Mateo had told her about the new business proposal from East Land, even though it was unusual since no one ever made any collaboration with East Land. Since they were named for how cruelty. Eira was unaware of the latter information. She was just happy about a journey with Mateo. Meanwhile, Amethysta couldn't shake off the feeling that something really bad was going to happen. "I'm really jealous of you." Isabella pouted. The duo chuckled at how dramatic the college belle was. "Isabella, Professor Zephyr is calling you." One of the classmate shouted from the class
The twins' expressions changed into something they couldn't explain. It was true that they had a hunch that their mother was alive somewhere. But Samuel's words gave a small spark in their hope. "Are you sure about it?" Isaias grabbed Samuel's collar, bringing him to his feet. "Open your damn mouth, Bastard.""I'm... I'm not sure, but that day she escaped from us, and we couldn't find her. Moreover, the direction she escaped, Patrick's lab is located in that direction. We tried to break in, but he didn't let us. And all these years, we couldn't enter his lab even though we did all the dirty things," Isaias's grip slipped, and Samuel fell on the floor with a loud thud. The twins thought Patrick had an important role in their mother's death, but it was the most crucial clue they had got. Their mother might be alive and the scientist might be researching her. Millions of unwanted thoughts fogged their mind. Icarus gave a small squeeze on his brother's shoulder and whispered. "We will
"David was dead, Master." The man in black informed, hung his head down, facing the satisfied twins in front of them. "So, explain me, how was he when he was dying?" Isaias slightly leaned his head on the wall, overlapping his hand on his firm chest. "He was starved....," The man's explanation was stopped by Icarus. The man's body wasn't trembling as he was started to explain what he had been witnessing. The man continued. "He was strong at first. He fought against it. But no one can fight hunger for long." He paused, fixing his eyes on Icarus, The latter's lips formed a mischievous smile as the man's eyes met him. "I did a job of giving him a scraps—small bits of bread, a spoonful of watery soup, and just enough water to stop him from dying of thirst. He ate it Slowly. Desperately."Again, the satisfied expression plastered on the twins' face. Even though they weren't here to witness David's slow dying, one of the people who framed their innocent mother. "At first," the man said,
"Drag that witch out!"The command rang out in the silent night as Dareen opened the door by the sound of continuous. A group of people barged into his home, grabbing his wife and claiming it was under the pack leader's orders."Luther, what are you doing?" Dareen shouted, trying to run after them.Before he could take another step, someone kicked his knees, forcing him to fall. Rough hands pinned him to the ground."Let me go, you bastards!" he yelled, struggling, but it was no use.His eyes frantically searched the group until they landed on a face he knew all too well. Betrayal hit him like a blow."Jonathan," he said, his voice breaking. "How could you do this to me? I'm your brother, and she's your sister-in-law!"Tears filled Dareen's eyes as pain and disbelief consumed him. His own family had turned against him.A scream broke through the chaos-his wife's voice, full of fear and agony, as the pack dragged her away."Dareen, help me!" Hannah cried out. "Get your filthy hands of
"You shouldn't be here and Shouldn't talk to her." A hoarse voice echoed behind Icarus causing him frown. His bright smile faded away, annoyance reflected well on his face. Icarus turned to face the owner of the voice, There he was, Mateo Nicolas. "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Why should I hear you? She is my woman and I've all right on her." Icarus proudly spoke. "Your woman? Aren't your dream going out of hands, Icarus Dempsey?" "What do you want?" Rubbing his temples, Icarus made an attempt to leave the place. "Does she know about why you are here? There are hushed whispers of some words, the Dempsey twins are back for revenge. Isn't it true? So why don't you just focus on your shits rather than chasing our pack's omega."Icarus scoffed, eyes flaring the hate. "Or you might be taking advantage of an innocent girl" Icarus grabbed Mateo's collar, blood rushing to his head. "Temptation of the fresh omega, Are you that much eager to let her laid? Or planning to share her with your twin." Icarus wa
