LOGINMAYA'S POV I had thrown up three times inside the carriage and worse, I was put in with one of the prisoners who hadn't showered probably longer than me.Safe to say we reeked and for a pregnant wolf like me, it was hell.But what could I do? The journey was terrible, the roads unusual and even the horses were struggling, neighing and baying every chance they got.It took about five days before we finally got to the place.I knew it was our final destination, not just because there was so much expanse land but because of the sheer amount of rogues gathered, barricaded and shackled under the open sky.At first, I pitied them, they must have been here for ages, waiting for us. Under the harshness of the weather. We'd gone further up North and everywhere was freezing, even now, I cursed myself for not coming out with Caden's coat that faithful night.There are so many things I regret.But on the matter of the rogues, when I remembered why they were gathered here, all my sad feelings ab
We rounded up and headed back immediately. It had taken us days to get here and from experience, I should let them rest. But not when Maya was somewhere, suffering. Every minute without her by my side increased my fear. To make shit worse, I could still feel her pain. It was insane that no one there had the tiniest bit of conscience. She's pregnant, couldn't they just be nice to her at least? They're planning to use her for their little rogue army so I know they won't kill her but the pain… I feel like such a fool, calling them all together and showing them this grand plan. Throughout that meeting, Derrick didn't say much. I thought maybe it was because he knew I was aware of his alliance with my dead brother and he was respectful and terrified to avoid my wrath. Turns out he was paying attention to something else. He was trying to gather all the information he could about the plan with the rogues so he could carry it out. Only this time, he'll be in control of everything a
My feet hurt from one of the traps I'd mistakenly jumped on but it was healing.Not as quickly because my body was running low on nutrients but it was enough.We were getting close to MoonPaw when Darren screamed.I turned to see he'd jumped into another one of those gnarly things. Immediately I turned around to help him.“No Alpha, don't bother about me. Go and fight for your mate, I'll wait here till I'm healed.”“Are you sure?”“Absolutely. I've failed you many times already, I don't want to be a bother.”“No one said you were. I don't like the idea of leaving you all alone here by yourself.”“Oh come, I'm not that weak. I'm a Beta, did you forget that?”“It's hard not to when you keep falling over your own ass.”“Oh, now you're back to making jokes, huh?”I shook my head and retreated, joining the rest of my men on the road to the enemy's Pack.It was at least three hours away from where we abandoned my bleeding Beta but his harsh breathing was the only human sound I was hearing t
CADEN'S POV My walk back to the Pack after dealing with Tony was humiliating and sad.I didn't find her, I failed and it was all because I didn't move on time.If I hadn't sunk to my wolf's emotions and stayed still instead of chasing around for her, I might have gotten to them before they left.Now I don't even know where to start.I mean, I'll start heading to the North but who knows what will happen before I get there.Who knows if he'll kill her? Who knows if our baby is safe?Oh, what am I saying? I can feel her in pain, her body weak.Of course, the baby isn't safe and she's waiting for me to be her hero and save her as I promised.Yet, I can't find her.I can't figure out how to track her scent like a true wolf.When I got back to the Pack, everyone knew immediately that I'd failed and they avoided me.Except Darren."Alpha? What happened?"I threw the hair at him."Oh shit, I'm so sorry, I smelled her and immediately ran back to –"I tuned him out and kept walking to the Pac
There was a lot of movement, horses everywhere, sacks of food supplies stacked in carriages and the entire Pack running around.Vera was nowhere to be found.I was tied again in silver chains and this one was tighter than the one Vera tied.Despite her cruelty, she's still a woman compared to these animals.My body was threatening to shut down on me but Sofie kept fighting.The baby kicked again as I tried to adjust to my new reality and winced.It didn't stop kicking as usual, and fear filled me.What if I go into early labour here?Where are they even going to? Is there..I stopped the painful train of thoughts and focused on my environment.Finally, everything paused, like they'd all finished parking their lives up and were now waiting for their Alpha.He came out, dressed in fur.It looked off on him, or maybe no one would ever look as good as Caden in a fur coat.This Alpha was slim, his beard had white streaks and he looked like he spent all his time thinking.The power he was t
Her Pack?My eyes went between the two of them, the conversation confusing."And I will, but she has to serve her purpose. Besides, you weren't supposed to bring her yet. What do you think he'll do when he realises his precious mate is gone?""That's none of my business. Do whatever you need to do. Take him out, I need my Pack back!" Vera snarled, getting agitated."Fine, give me a few days, I'll give you an army.""No, I don't want to go head-to-head with him. Caden has to go to hell with the knowledge that I'm dead, understand?""Wait," the Alpha chuckled, "are you scared? Is that why you want me to do your dirty work for you?""I did yours for you, didn't I? His father took the Pack from mine and I'm doing the same! It's none of your business how I do it. I've done your bit, do yours and stop asking me stupid questions!""Alright then, we'll get to work, little wolf, soon. Seth, take her in. Secure her properly, we have a lot to do and can't be bothering with a running prisoner.""
CADEN'S POV I jerk awake and immediately take stock of my surroundings and then my nose inhales deeply, making me look down at my hands, precisely the small bundle framed to my side.Her hair as usual was splayed all over my arm like a halo on her head and she was sleeping soundly.In my shirt.Gu
The hot breath I took in sharply must be wondering what it did wrong.My father was clearly older, weaker and haven't had to fight anyone in the past ten years.Beyond hitting me angrily, he hasn't extended those hands in violence to anyone.And now, he's facing the strongest Alpha as far as my lim
MAYA'S POV The training yesterday was more intense than I thought, but for some reason, it was exciting to have a purpose to wake up to.My entire body protested though, it was like I'd been hammered in different joints and I could barely work.But the threat of Alpha Caden hung over my head and I
I nearly began dancing in excitement, his face morphed into shock that screamed, 'I won't in my head and I might have walked more slowly than I should have but I didn't care.I made Alpha Caden feel something other than anger or the insane need to control everything.It felt way too good that I too
