MasukThe reunion "Where are we going?" Kai asked Ryan who was overly focused on the road. "You said you wanted to see her. We're going to see her." "I thought you didn't want me to see her since you kept me in the pack until after the crowning ceremony." "I didn't want any excuses. Now that you are Alpha, you can go out and come as you like. You have the protection of the package and the respect of other packs." Kai glances outside the window. "So, where is she?" "My mother gave me an address. And... We're here." Ryan stopped in front of a mansion that neither of them had ever seen before. "What's this?" "She's supposed to be here." Ryan replied, heading to the gate. He pressed the button on the gate twice before he heard a sound coming from the door. They waited until the gate was opened. They stood still like they'd been glued to the ground when they saw her stand behind the gate. "A.. Aria?" Kai stuttered, his voice failing him. "Aria, is this really you?" Ryan asked,
A Loophole The man leaned forward, probably thinking that Kai was bluffing but a pull back from his neck was confirmation that he wasn't. Kai had tied his neck too so if he tried to move his head, the rope would tighten his throat, making it hard for him to breathe. "I... Eh..." The man struggled with words. Barely getting air in or out. Kai leaned in. Unbothered by his struggle. "What?" He continued to struggle, the more he did, the closer he got to his grave. Kai released the rope when he saw that the man was ready to speak. "What were you trying to say?" Kai asked again. "I'll tell you... Everything." He breathed. "Good." *** "I told you he would win." Ryan's father told Estrella who was filled with relief. "Your son is now the Alpha of this pack. We'll hold a crowning ceremony tonight to officially hand over the position to him." Elder Syria informed. "Before that, I need some answers." Kai spoke from the entrance. Everyone's attention shifted to
Claim to the throne Kai climbed down from his body, accepting the cheer from the crowd. He was carried away but a familiar voice rose in his mind. "Kai! Behind you!" He turned at once. Behold, a wolf was approaching him with an axe. His eyes were red with rage and he had one mission only; to kill Kai. Without warning, he swung the axe towards Kai but Kai dodged it once again. "Swush..." He swung again but Kai dodged it again. Kai sized his opponent. He wasn't tall or well built like the challenger but he was hell bent on carrying out one task; defeat Kai. He wasn't big but he was sturdy and he had moves. He was fast with his axe. Kai knew negotiating wouldn't get him to stop. He had to take him down. Kai continued to dodge his swings until he saw an opportunity. The man slowed down to gather strength and that was when Kai striked. He struck the man with his silver dagger straight to his chest. The man let out a loud scream as Kai twisted the dagger, grazing his heart
Fight For The Throne The challenger rushed Kai with a punch but Kai dodged it swiftly. He approached again with yet another punch but Kai continued to step aside like he was play-fighting with a nine year old cub. "Is that all you've got?" Kai asked with a smirk, riling him up. With an angry growl, the challenger rushed at him with a dagger. Expecting Kai to step to his side, he watched out for his side but Kai surprised him by making his way out from beneath him. The crowd gasped at the unexpected movement. Every member of the pack stood to watch the fight that was going to determine their fate and the fate of the entire pack. Estrella sat with clenched fists. For the first time since the news of her husband's killer came out, she thought about something other than getting revenge for him. "Don't worry too much Luna, he's going to win the challenger." Ryan's father who stood close to her whispered. Only, his face was a smirk and his mind was filled with joy at the sight
The Challenger Returns In the days that followed, Ryan and Kai were busy training and acting like they were doing the same thing the others were doing. Kai focused on speed training, some martial tactics that he could use to his advantage. While Ryan focused on keeping his cover. They were more relaxed after hearing that Aria was fine and all they had to do was prepare for a fight no one knew when it was coming. One hot afternoon, as Kai sat outside the pack grounds casually watching the guards parade the place like they used to, a loud horn sound coming from the gate madehiim jolt to his feet. “What was that?” Ryan asked, his breath raspy. Clusters of guards and pack members ran from the gate towards where they sat, every one of them glancing over their shoulders in what looked like fear. "What are they running from?" Kai asked again but neither of them had an idea what was chasing capable guards and making them run towards the throne room. Until.. They say it themselv
Information Ryan drew deep breaths but his eyes were still as curious as ever. “What are you— How did you break out of the cell?” She settled on the space beside him. “I had a witch do a cloaking spell for me, one of my friends impersonated a guard… She didn't finish when he threw another question. “How?” “With all the ruckus going on within and outside the pack, it was easy to get in and act like one of the guards desperately looking for a traitor.” “When did you get out? One of the guards mentioned that he saw you yesterday night in your cell.” “Late yesterday night? Early hours of the morning? Can't recall. What was most important to me was that I get to meet my children.” She replied, her expression turned sober. Ryan glanced toward the door but she knew what he was going to ask. “I'm going to hang around until they get back from school. Probably in the night when your father won't be able to sniff around their rooms.” Ryan nodded. “Aria's truly missing. We don'
ILLICIT Raven gasped as the masked man ran his thumb over her lower lip caressing it gently. ‘Damn, this feels so good,’ her wolf purred in her head as his lips crashed on hers. Fear filled her heart.Hearing her wolf meant her suppressant was fading but his tongue was already deep in her mouth,
STAY CLOSE TO MEScreams rose before the teacher finished talking, desks screeched, chairs toppled, the panic set in hard.Kai stood at once, eyes scanning, not just for the exit but for Aria.She was right beside him but her body wouldn’t move, she was frozen, lips parted slightly, breath too fast
A NEW CONQUEST Somehow, he derived joy in his action. Aria had barely taken a bite when the cheeseburger was snatched from her hand. She had not had breakfast that morning and the cheeseburger was all she had carried.She was going to protest when she looked up but on seeing who had taken it, she
BUILDING CLOSURE They found a comfortable place ad pitched their tent. K had been more than prepared for the trip and he had carried along supplies and other things to make their stay memorable. The water pushed a bit over the shore covering part of the sand in a light tidal wave then back to the
