Jared is the alpha of the crimson pack who had managed to maintain peace between all packs for six years but things take a drastic turn as a teenager is killed. He thinks it is just some people getting bored and trying to stir trouble until another teenager disappears. This goes on for a while. The people of Crimson valley decide to take matters into their own hands even after Jared had pleaded with them. Jared is at the receiving end of their actions and a war breaks out. Meanwhile, Jared has a woman in his life who's destiny is greater than that of anybody else but because she is unable to transform and access her wolf side, she is constantly being looked down at but it turns out that she is the key and the redemption of all packs
View More“I am your husband and your alpha! I demand your respect” he yelled at her and that took her back
“So what? I don’t care who you are and you should know that by now. We are not even married yet! Don’t give me the bullshit of you are my husband!” She screamed back at him
“Well I am! And I demand your respect, Alice. I would not have a mate that I can’t talk to in my house!” He screamed at her
“Then I would rather leave!” She said
She walked out of the bedroom and slammed the door behind her. Jared growled and ran his fist into the wall. He was pissed off. Things have been like this for the past eight months of their stay together and he didn’t know how to make things right. He looked at his fist and saw that it was bruised and now bleeding. He got a towel and he wiped his hands. He groaned and rubbed his forehead. She went outside and followed her. He couldn’t let her leave. As much as they fought, he didn’t want her to ever leave. He knew that his life would be miserable without her and he wasn’t willing to admit that to her or to himself.
“Alice, wait!” he said
She gave him no reply. She headed to the front door and he growled
“Alice, wait!” he growled at her
She paused. His voice sent shivers down her spine and he was very authoritative. She knew better than to disobey when he was fighting his transformation. She turned to look at him and she met his gaze. His eyes glowed and his fangs were out. She could not relate to this feeling. She was just nineteen and she couldn’t even access her wolf side. Most times, she wondered why she was mated to him, the alpha of the Crimson pack. She was a weakling and she couldn’t even access her wolf side. She stopped and turned to look at him
“Alice, wait, don’t leave. Can we talk things out?” he said
“I don’t want to talk, Jared! I have had enough of you! I have heard enough of what you have to stay! I need some space and fresh air and I can’t get any of that in here so if you’re so kind, alpha, let me go!” she snapped at him
“No! You will not leave this house until we have talked about what the hell is going on between us!” he said to her, angrily. He was barely in control of himself and he knew the results of his anger were as bad as any other thing, yet she kept pushing out the monster in him and sometimes, she succeeded
This was one of those times. He had hit her once and he had regretted it for days because she didn’t talk to him for days. He rolled his eyes at her and turned to the window, wondering how things got so bad between them
“If you want to leave and take a walk, you can leave” he said
She turned and left the house, slamming the door behind her. He sighed and dropped his head. He picked up his phone and dialed his best friend’s number who was the second in command of the crimson’s pack, the Beta. He wasn’t picking and Jared got impatient. He tossed his phone on the coffee table and headed back to his room. He got dressed and headed out
*****
When she came back in, she noticed that Jared was out of the house. She walked to their bedroom and she dropped on the bed, tired and exhausted from all the yelling and fighting. She felt really bad for saying all those things to him but the damage was done. She cried so hard that she fell asleep, wishing her brother was here with her. Alice, her name rang in her head as she closed her eyes to sleep.
Alice was nothing but a child when she lost her parents in an accident although she didn’t think it was an accident. She was coming back with her elder brother from school when they saw the former alpha in front of their little apartment. He had come to announce the death of her parents. Her elder brother, Liam was just thirteen and she was just ten. Her brother was the only parent she knew and when she turned eighteen, she was pronounced to be Jared’s mate and she immediately moved in with him. Her brother had left crimson valley to find his purpose like he had said to her on that unfortunate day. He left her on her own, in the hands of Jared
Jared and Liam were friends before he left. When Jared was crowned alpha, he had gotten so busy that he and Liam didn’t hang out as much as they used to but Liam felt if there was a suitable mate for his sister, it was Jared. He trusted his sister’s safety with Jared and he was sure she was going to be happy for the rest of her life. She was Nineteen now and she was sure that her brother made an awful decision in choosing a mate for her, not like it was his choice, it was fate. She had not heard from Liam since he left, more than a year ago.
He came in and found her asleep. He was sure that she had cried herself to sleep. He sighed and kisses her forehead before getting a blanket to cover her up. He knew she didn’t make dinner because she never did when she was upset. She even barely ate on a normal day because she was always sad about the fact that she couldn’t access her wolf side and that was why she was always snapping at him like he did something to her. Every little argument always turned into a big fight and he wondered why. He just wanted a peaceful and happy home with her and that was looking really impossible now. He decided to drive about, hopefully he would get dinner for the both of them. He was still looking around when he saw her, someone that he hadn’t seen in a while. He drive past without stopping, hoping and praying that she didn’t see him pass. Raina, what was she doing in town? Was she here to ruin his life again? What was she after this time? A lot of questions ran through his head and he couldn’t get any answers.
He picked up his phone to call his Beta, Xavier but he wasn’t picking up. Jared didn’t know if that was supposed to worry him. He got the dinner and headed back home. When he got in, she was still asleep and he didn’t want to wake her up so he had dinner on his own and headed to the visitors bedroom to get some rest. Morning came quick for him as Xavier stormed into his house
“Jared! You need to come down here right now!” he screamed from the entrance of the house.
Alice heard his voice and headed down the stairs
“What is wrong with you? Do you know what time it is?” she asked him
“Oh, good morning, beautiful. I am so sorry to have woken you up. I actually didn’t know you were in the house. Where is Jared?” he asked her
“I have no idea. He was not home by the time I fell asleep” she said
“Was he working late again?” Xavier asked her
“Like I said, I have no idea. He should be somewhere in the house though. Want something to drink? Coffee?” she asked him
“Not really, I already had a cup. I wouldn’t say no to your cooking though” he said to her
“Get your own wife and stop asking Alice to cook for you. Besides, we have a maid to cook for you if you want to get something to eat” Jared said
“Oh, now, you show your face? We have a lot to discuss! Something came up and we might be looking at a war on our hands” Xavier said
“I don’t know why but for some funny reasons, I have been expecting it! We have had peace for some time now and I was starting to find it really weird. So what pack is tired of the serenity of their city?” Jared asked, unmoved about the news of the war
“The blue moon pack apparently. Someone from crimson said her child was missing some weeks back if you remember”
“I have been stressing a lot. I actually don’t remember” Jared said
“Martha’s child, Eddie. The one you told one of your guards to look into?” Alice said
“I did? Amazing. I don’t even remember any of it. Any ways, what’s wrong?” Jared ask d
“Apparently, Eddie was found this morning , dead and hung at the gate of the blue moon valley. His body was hung right there” he said
“Why does that sound familiar?” Alice asked
“Because six years ago, the Crescents did the same thing when they wanted to pick a fight with us”
“The fight lasted for months and it led to the death of my father, the former alpha. Make a meeting with Fabian, the head of the Blue moon pack. I have two rules, we don’t kill our own and we don’t mess with children. Eddie wasn’t even eighteen yet and he was one of our finest wolves. Make a meeting with the blue moon and we would see what happens from there” Jared said
“I already reached out to him, I don’t needed you to tell me that. He declined and said he would not be meeting with any of us” Xavier said
“Reach out again. If he still says no, make it clear to him that I would come down to Blue valley and I would treat apart everything in my way. Tell him we can either talk or we can sh blood and it would not be the blood of my people!” Jared said, with anger seeping into his voice
“Yes your highness” Xavier teased
Jared rolled his eyes and shook his head. Xavier was never so serious. He was always joking about everything and making the environment lighter that it would normally have been. Xavier was one soul that you would never find upset but he was one hell of a fighter. He and Jared have been best friends since they were born.
“Xavi, be serious here. A kid died, the whole valley is about to be thrown into chaos!” Jared said
“It is actually in chaos because when the body was hung, it was something that went round the valley quickly. It was hung right at the top of the gate for the entire world to see” Xavier said
“That is really bad” Alice said
“Tell him I want a meeting and if I don’t get one, he would have to deal with me!” Jared said
“I would give him a call again or just head down to Blue moon valley” Xavier said
“Do you think that is a good idea? They just killed a kid and you want to walk in there like you own the place to give the alpha of the Pack a warning from your own alpha who he probably hates?” Alice asked
“I can take care of myself Alice. You don’t have to worry about me. I don’t think he would be stupid enough to attack the beta of Crimson pack. Besides, if you look at this closely, something doesn’t add up. The last time we talked to these guys, we were fine and now he is killing kids? Something doesn’t add up here” Xavier said
“You are right and that is why we need to meet with him. If he agrees, set a meeting place right here in the valley. We do not want any surprises from them” Jared said
After trying for minutes and she realized that she couldn’t send Jared there, her world broke. She knew that she was going to need her sister. She needed Louis. She sighed and she tuned around. She saw her standing there. “How did you get out of that room?” Laura asked her. “She didn’t, I did. I know that you do not trust me, I understand that but right now, we need to put our differences aside and fix things. We need to put our conflict aside if you want to get Alice back. Louis can perform the spell that you require of her. Let her do it” Zoe said to her. “Why is she speaking about herself in third person?” Xavier whispered. “Because that is not Louis. That is an entirely different being. That is not my sister and I do not trust her to handle this. I have never trusted her and I wouldn’t make that mistake now” Laura said to her. “I didn’t say that I was going to be the one to cast the spell. I am going to give this body back to its rightful owner because I taught her well enoug
Whether it was the right thing or not, she knew that it was too late to ask questions now. She had started this without her sister and that was exactly how she planned on finishing it. There was no going back now. She just hoped that this action wasn’t going to push her sister down the dark path. She sighed as she drove silently, on her way to get the blade that was going to put all of this insanity to an end. This was going to be the last time that she was going to have to deal with Doris. Never again. She was going to remove Doris from the picture and lead the coven in the right way. This was going to be the way to unite all of the witches of the Quarter. With Jared backing her up, it was going to be an easy task. With the help of Xavier, she was ready to face the world and with her sister by her side, it was going to be a piece of cake. All she had to do right now was just find te blade. Hopefully, it was right where she remembered leaving it. She needed to have this day easy. She
“Well, I guess we just have to hope and pray that she wins this. We have been through so much just to die in the end” Liam said to them. “I don’t care about what you say. Alice knows and understands what is at stake and she knows better than to let Doris win this. Besides, it is the prophecy” Jared said to them. “Prophecies can change. The real question is this. Can she do what is necessary make sure that the prophecy comes to pass?” Liam asked him. “Now is the wrong time to be doubting the abilities of someone that killed herself just so you can get your wife back! She would do what she needs to be done. You are in no position to question her abilities and her capabilities. There would be consequences of that action. That, I can promise you” Jared said to him, his eyes glowing. “Alright, why don’t we all calm down?” Louis said as she walked quietly into the room. “Louis!” Laura exclaimed. “I know, I am just as surprised to be alive as much as you are but we do not have time. Th
“That wouldn’t be necessary. I was always here, camouflaged with the dark for a reason. We need to get you out of here” Laura said, walking out of one of the dark corners of the place. “How is this even possible?” Alice asked her. “We don’t have time to explain but when we do, I promise that I will explain to you at length but right now, we need to focus on the important questions like why the hell did you not try to make a deal to reach out to the outside world so that we can bring you home?” Laura asked her. “Because you can’t bring me home. Louis killing me for Layla was something that Doris saw happening. I don’t know how she did but she foresaw it and she tied me here using the blood that she got from me and my unborn baby. This entire place is created to keep me captive. There is no going home of for me. This is home now so just quit trying to bring me back. It is totally hopeless” she said to them. “That is insane. You don’t deserve this. This is not how your story is suppo
Laura looked at Jared and she could see the last piece of hope and faith he had in his eyes. He needed her back and she knew this too. She knew that there was no way he was going to win this without her by his side. She said a silent but quick prayer to the moon goddess, asking for success this was her home and she was going to be devastated if she has to let it go. She started her spell and dropped on the floor. Jared was going to step into the circle when Liam stopped him. “No, trust her. She knows what she is doing. I trust her and you should too” he said to her. Jared looked at him and he nodded at him. He had no choice. They had tried too many different ways to get her back and if this didn’t work, if Laura couldn’t get her back then nobody could. If this didn’t work, he was going to ask that a witch embalm her body and preserve it so that he could wander around until he found somebody that could bring her back. He wasn’t going to give up on her and he wasn’t going to stop unti
“Xavier!!” she called out to him. He was as irresponsive as the first three times she had called out to him. Until he heard her or recognized her presence, he wasn’t going to be able to see her or feel her. She needed a way to get to him and she needed to do it fast. She could feel the rumbling of whatever universe they were in. it was coming down. The realm was closing in on them and they were about to be stuck in it forever. “He cannot hear you or see you. I think you should use your magic to pull him out of there” she heard Zoe say. “That would fracture his mind! I wouldn’t do that” she said to her. “Tick tock. Time wait s for no wolf, or no witch in this case. What do you want to do? Stay stuck here forever? You can’t do that! You need to get us out of here before the place comes down on us” Zoe said to her. “Xavi, I know you can hear me. I know that you are still in there. I need you to focus, I need you to look at me. I need to get you out of here. Whatever life you are liv
She opened her eyes and turned to look at Alice, still laying lifeless on the floor. Her heart sank. She closed her eyes, trying to quiet the world around her and retrace her steps but that was a mistake because immediately she closed her eyes, she felt her presence. Zoe, she had come along with her. Louis walked up to Alice and touched her. Her body felt cold and she turned around to look at Liam who was staring at her. “Where is Alice? Why didn’t you bring her back?” Liam asked her. “I don’t know what happened, she should be back by now. I found her, I traded my freedom for her soul. She should have come back with me!” Louis said to him, confused as ever. The front door flung opened and they both gasped. Doris stood in front of them and Louis stood up. She waved her hand in the air and that sent Doris flying across the hall way. “The boundary spell is down. I don’t know how she managed to pull it down but this is our fight now. I would take care of her. You would get Alice and r
Liam looked at her, not sure of what decision to make. There was no way they were getting out of this alive and he knew this. He said a quiet prater to the moon goddess if she was listening and he looked at Louis. He saw that she was staring at him, waiting for a response. “Your major focus should be on my sister and my wife. Make sure that they wake up. We need them, whether we are willing to admit it or not. Having them here would definitely even the playing field. That should be your only concern right now” he said to her. “What happens to Doris then?” she asked him. “Let me worry about her. I would take care of her but no matter what happens, make sure that she doesn’t get to Alice. She must not get to her” Liam said to her. She looked at him and she could see the fear in his eyes but she knew that he was right and that was the only way. She had been working on a way to reverse the spell or at least make a potion to counter it. She needed to act fast, she needed to work fast.
“I am here. I am not going to leave you or Xavier here so that you can be slaughtered. She has a reason for keeping the both of you here, alive. If she gets back here, she is coming to finish up what she has already started. My sister and Liam would make sure that Doris doesn’t get to Alice’s body. I am going to make sure that she doesn’t have a backup spell that she can cast just in case her first plan does not pull through” Laura said to him. “You need to listen to me. She has this new pet. It is some sort of creature that she managed to pull out of its cage in the ancestral world and that beast has a very nice way of carrying out all of her orders. Your sister and Liam do not stand a chance against that beast. You need to go back to the house so that you can help them” he said back to her. “Look, I just came back from the dead, thanks to my sister. You have no idea about what it means to be dead, how it feels like to be dead. I am not going to face Doris and I need you to trust m
