LOGINWe successfully took the children to Elder Gita’s sanctuary, watching as some pack soldiers took them off my hands and into the duplex.There were several wolves in the building but I couldn’t spot my family."What if they aren’t here?" I asked, my heart racing. "Does this mean they’re dead?"Soon, I wasn’t able to control my breathing and started hyperventilating, placing my hands on my chest.Jarred placed a hand on my back, trying to comfort me but it was to no avail.I drew out my phone, trying to dial my brother’s number first.However, my heart skipped a beat when I heard the sound of his ringtone behind me."Caleb?!" I nearly screamed, swerving my body to the sound of the phone only to see him standing there with a wry smile on his face and his phone placed on his ear.The tears that I had been fighting to hold back began falling as I ran up to him, drawing him into an embrace as my shoulders relaxed."By the moon, where have you been?" I queried, sniffling when I pulled away f
Jarred and I were able to navigate away from the event hall and through the estate, but throughout I noticed he didn’t shift into his wolf.Not even once.It was a bit odd to me, especially with the way he tortured and killed that Hunter at the Hall still fresh in my head.I’ve never seen Jarred like that. It painted a new perspective of him in my head.But at the end of the day, this was a battle of survival, and I guess everyone had to do anything to survive.Anyway, we eventually stumbled upon Marcus after I almost got shot by a Hunter... Who Jarred caught and tortured.Again.I struggled to catch my breath due to the running and adrenaline of almost being shot by the Hunter but nothing would’ve prepared me for when Jarred ripped off the arm of the Hunter while dangling him from the roof of a building.When he came back to the ground, I stared at him warily.I wasn’t sure what to think about this side of him.Anyway, elder Gita caught up with us, bearing exciting news."There’s a w
I blinked at Jarred, still shaken by the way he had just ruthlessly killed that Hunter without flinchingBut Elder Gita didn’t seem to be bothered by the slightest as she stepped forward."Well, there are four witch covens within this city, so we could reach out to them and see if we can find this witch who helped the hunters." She remarked thoughtfully.Jarred nodded but added. "Though, on second thought, witches and wolves haven’t been on good terms since forever."Are we werewolves really on good terms with any other race at this point?"There’s also the possibility that the witch in question is a rogue." Elder Gita said with widened eyes. "Though witches and wolves aren’t on good terms, a witch wouldn’t want to tarnish the reputation of their coven and risk war with us by aiding the Hunters."War?Are they casually talking about war right now? Despite all the chaos happening outside?I shook my head, using my fingers to gently rub my forehead. "How are we going to begin searching
Ashley~~The chaos that erupted in the event hall after Catherine was suddenly hit by an arrow left me frozen on the spot.I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know how to feel, especially after I saw Marcus running up to his mother and checking on her.There wasn’t any confirmation yet but I had a feeling she wouldn’t survive it. There was a deep sense of dread that surged through my body numbing me and putting my mind to a halt.It was happening again.Once again, a terrible event with me at the center. It felt like a practical joke at this point.I was left so terrified that I wasn’t able to notice the bomb that rolled onto the stage and exploded amid the attack... Until Jarred pushed me away from the blast and shielded me."T– Thank you, Jarred." I stuttered, slowly coming back to reality as Jarred got off me.It was then that it hit me like a flood.My family.They were supposed to be sitting in front of the makeshift stage but I couldn’t see them through all the smoke or hear
"He’s dead, sir."I froze when I heard those words.The Gamma had been one of the most hardworking and loyal members of my Council.Losing him wasn’t just a huge blow to the pack, but a blow to me as well.First my mother and now this? No... I can’t afford to have any more losses."I’m going back out there," I said decisively, glancing at one of the pack soldiers. "You, where’s the military advisor?"He bowed before responding to me. "He’s still out there, sir."Good. I’ll go find him."In the meantime, I’m placing you in charge of the soldiers here." I pointed at him, my gaze unwavering. "Guide them and take charge of the wards if necessary. Help the survivors who make it here to settle in."The soldier seemed shocked by my decision but I ignored that, running out of the compound in my human form.I scanned my gaze around the estate, checking out the situation.It seemed the werewolves were showing resistance, but the Hunters came prepared.It was a ’fifty-fifty’ situation and those
After watching Lycan Davos guide the family of wolves to Elder Gita’s residence, my mind subconsciously went to Ashley.I’d entrusted her to Jarred, and I trusted him, but seeing the scale of the attack first hand had me worried.What if they get caught up with something too much for even them to handle?I brought out my phone just then, dialing Jarred’s number.No response."Damn it!" I grunted, my mind racing as I tried to make a decision.Either I find Ashley and make sure she’s okay or I continue fighting out here and protecting as many of my people as possible.It was a tough decision but when I heard the cries and screams of werewolves from different parts of the pack, I shook my head.Instantly, I shifted back into my wolf and sprinted toward the Alpha mansion.If my guess was correct, the Hunters would target that part of the estate more than the others.I was right...Troops of Hunters lined up, lighting up the mansion’s compound with explosives and then waiting for the wolve
I woke up the next morning feeling sore in places I didn’t even know could ache. Blinking against the soft morning light, I pushed the blanket aside and let out a sigh of relief. Zephyr must have taken care of me after I’d passed out—I didn’t even remember falling asleep, let alone cleaning mys
Samantha. I woke up the next morning with soreness all over my body. I could barely even sit up straight in the car. Zephyr had been like a mad dog last night. Our mating didn’t end until midnight, and I was pretty sure I passed out right after my last orgasm. It had been the best sex of my li
Samantha. My voice came out soft, breathless and seductive in a way I barely recognized. And it pushed Zephyr over the edge because he immediately tore my panties off and touched me, rubbing my wet heat. I threw my head back, my legs trembling as his thumb circled my clit while his fingers slid i
Samantha. I felt like I was standing on a thin line. One wrong step, and I would fall. I didn’t know if choosing Zephyr would make my life better… but I knew one thing for sure. If Rowan found me again, I would drown in misery. “I accept your condition.” I took a deep breath. “As long as you
