Chapter: 16.******The day was warm and muggy as if the sky had been drenched in water. The heat from the asphalt pavement was enough to make one sweat profusely, even with sunglasses on. A group of children played in the playground with a swing set and monkey bars, but the adults were nowhere to be seen, probably hiding away under the shades. Are children immune to harsh weather? The air tasted thick and oppressive like it belonged inside a humid greenhouse rather than outside where the sun shimmered in the cloudless blue sky. Even the birds seemed lazy and reluctant to fly about their usual business. A cool wind blew through the streets and caused the leaves on the trees to rustle as if they were sighing. It wasn't much of an improvement over the hot weather. On his right, stood a busy Coffee shop, and inside the small coffee shop sat men and women, he could see them smiling, laughing, making and taking orders. But, outside the Coffee shop under an umbrella, sat two women at a tabl
Chapter: 17.******Sat on his desk, looking over the papers spread across it, Conri let out a soft sigh of annoyance. Why was it that no one seemed to be able to do anything right in his absence? He looked around at the office he had commandeered from the other Alphas of their respective Packs, and then back down at the papers scattered across his desk. His fingers drummed along the tabletop, and then he picked up one of the papers and began flicking through it lazily. It didn't even take him much time before his attention returned to the paperwork. The only thing that kept him going, really, was that the papers were proving themselves not to be boring after all. They contained information about the Packs they'd been given to rule over.He skimmed over them quickly, but with enough interest to make sure he wasn't missing anything, and then he moved on to another. That was when he came across a page of numbers. Numbers which told him exactly how long the territories between his PackLa
Chapter: 18.*****Standing at the door, staring into bright golden eyes was Xiher, in his godly Form, this had the Betas gawking in shock."Xiher?" Dom gasped in surprise as he and his sister stared at him in awe and disbelief, "You- You're awake?... I can't believe it." He said breathlessly.Xiher blinks slowly at them. "Yes... I am. And I'm not sure for how long I have been asleep, I can't remember much either." He admitted quietly. There was a pause for a short while as they simply stared at him in wonder.After a while, Colleen cleared his throat and stepped forward, crossing his arms across his chest. "You can't remember anything? Nothing at all?" He questioned in a low, disbelieving tone.Xiher hesitated, lowering his gaze from the Beta's, "Yes, I don't." He replied softly.There was another heavy silence. Luna had mentioned something of this sort occurring. It's like he's reborn, without memories from the past. Who he was or what had happened, leading to what was happening at
Chapter: 19.******Mariana sat in front of her mirror, glaring and fuming at the reflection of herself that was staring back at her with an unapologetic face. Fueled by rage and hate for the Werewolves she gritted her teeth as she ran her fingers through her hair. The long black locks swished through her fingers like a snake. Every morning she sat here watching the Lycan go about his life as if she hadn't cursed him to death. What will it take for him to die? How had he even survived her curse? What kind of power does he possess that could withstand hers? She was enraged as her mind wandered back to the night she climbed the Mountains seeking the Wizard who lives there for the third time. She was after answers, answers she is yet to find.******Snow coated the beds of the mountain floor making it hard to step upon. The wind howled loudly as she descended deeper into the valley where a small cave awaited her. Mariana crept slowly down into the dimly lit cave until she found the openi
Chapter: 20.******“Alpha?" A voice called followed by a soft knock on the bedroom door. "Alpha, are you awake?" She waited for the Alpha's response but none was forthcoming. She sighed, she must admit, their Alpha hasn't been at his best of late. The Alpha spends days sitting in his office, attending meetings, and often forgetting to eat in between. As if he is desperately trying to fill his mind with thoughts of distractions. He didn't come home for the last two nights and she heard from her husband that it was because he had stayed up all night working. This behavior would break him if he doesn't slow down. It wasn't something they were used to and so she couldn't help but be worried. She knocked once again, louder this time, and called his name once but he did not respond. So, she turned and walked away. Lady sat in her kitchen, sipping slowly from her cup of tea, she had just sent her kids off to school and now alone waiting for her husband's return and for when the Alpha is re
Chapter: 21.******"Does he have trouble sleeping?""Yes, the past few weeks." He confirmed."Hmm..." The doctor hummed as he checked the Alpha. "Is he eating well?""No," Colleen replied, annoyed. "Only drinking alcohol and chewing on damn Suppressants!" "Okay, well...we will know more once we run some tests and get a proper evaluation," Dr. Creiff stated, removing his gloves and putting them aside."Do we have time for all that? He is burning up, Dr," Colleen argued. "I have checked his heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure, everything seems over the chart which would be considered normal with his Rut Period, it also explains why he is having the high fever, he should be fine if we can bring him closer to his Mate,""His Mate?""Yes, Colleen, a hug and a small dose of inhaling his Mate's Pheromones would calm him down a great deal at this point. And as for the blood you mentioned we would determine the cause and if it is harmful to both him and his Lycan after the test is done. I
Chapter: 22. ****** It is that time of the month again and the restless Rogue paced his living room floor repeatedly while sweating profusely. He has stripped his clothing down to his boxer briefs. He felt hot, so hot he thought he would melt. This isn't right. It shouldn't have to be this way. And it's all HIS fault. He was born a Rogue, from a Rogue father and mother. But his father was an Alpha before he was cast out and cursed a Rogue, and so when he had an affair with his mother and she had him, it was only given that he was born a Dominant Rogue. But, he did not live long enough to witness what he had become, and all because he died at the hands of his brother, the only one he ever truly loved and somehow, Dare feels like that curse got passed down to him, as the very first day he laid eyes on the Lycan he felt a spark where once was dead and that spark exploded into what he has become today. Grunting and trembling, he dropped to his knees, and wrapped his arms around himself,
Chapter: 23.******"Lady Mariana?" Scott called from the doorway as he entered the Clan's Hall. "Lady Mariana-" He jumped and turned sharply when he felt a tap on the back. "Oh, you were behind me," He muttered with a smile and bowed in greeting. "I am sorry to bother you but this is important," He pulled out an envelope and waved it in front of her face, "The Council wishes for the presence of Lady Mariana within the Council walls." He handed it over. Mariana took it cautiously, she proceeded to her chair, where she sat and pulled out the letter of invitation, and began to read. "What's this about?" She asked after reading and Scott exhaled as he got closer to her. "I heard rumors that since Caleb has chosen his Mate's Pack over his Clan, a new Clan Leader should be appointed, and I heard the Council has been making selections for the role." He explained. "Selection?!" She screamed and got off her chair. "They can't do that. I have led this Pack for Years and this is how they rep
