LIAM’S POV.“Oh!.” I groan under my breath as I stare down at the creature I had shot with the gun, lying still in front of me. Only this time, it isn’t a deer, as I think it is. It is a living being. Not just any living being but a female, one that lies there stark naked.“Oh!” I groan again and run my fingers through my thick Brown hair. My head is reeling with thoughts of things to do.Is she dead?I wonder and take a step closer to assess her breath by leaning forward with a finger under her nose. I feel something like air against my skin, but is it hers or that of the breeze here? Confused, I drop my shooting gun and kneel right next to her. My eyes trail down to her tiny round butt, and I breathe. I am sure I won’t find holding a dead naked woman in my arms ‘fun.’ I take my hand firmly under her to roll her over, her skin against my innocent flesh. Soon her face is up, and I try so hard not to take a glance over her body, but I do. My now greedy eyes took a not-so-quick surv
LIAM’S POV I sigh as I settle on the edge of my bed. I had left her in the other room with the Doctor to come to mine to care for my wound. A soft knock lands on the door, and I mutter out a “Come in” after pulling my shirt down to cover the wound on my stomach, even though I know it’s impossible due to its tear. Rivers walks in, dressed in a casual shirt and jean trousers. He is my Beta and an old childhood friend of mine. He is practically more like my twin because he knows everything about me, even things I didn’t think he took note of. “Good day, Alpha.” He greets me with a slight bow of his head. I nod in response, then put on my lower lip to relieve my pain. I have repeatedly corrected him not to call me Alpha and to stick with Liam, but he refuses. “You are my Master, so I must respect you.” He would say countless times, and soon I just let it slide. I find myself getting used to it. “To what do I owe this visit?” I say playfully as I wonder if Diana told him anything.
STRANGE GIRL’S POV.I pull my eyes apart slowly, their heaviness almost discouraging me. My head bangs a little, making me place my right hand on it. I stared at the strange bright room, whose beauty differed from anything I had ever seen. The pictures on the wall and the design of the room seem familiar.Where am I?I ask myself as I try to stand up.The past I can remember is...It isn’t even clear.I feel a throbbing pain in my shoulder, causing me to groan softly. I didn’t want to make a noise or alert anyone until I knew where I was. I leave the bed, dressed in unfamiliar yet comfortable pajamas, then head towards the door.There was no one in sight by the time I got out.The whole place looks unfamiliar, but it has a pleasant smell lingering in the air. I keep walking ahead, my eyes lingering around the room. The farther I walk, the more I fear I might encounter my kidnappers. That has to be it.That's the only suitable explanation for it.I sight two big doors, two beautiful
Strange Girl's POV _________°-°_______His word replays in my head, over and over again. It keeps me dazed and mute.All I did abreast of the man with the captivating voice was stare at five strange faces looking at me in confusion and need of explanation.I can tell they are as perplexed as I am. My face is void of emotions to invite their doubts. Even though I know I require millions of answers from all of them. I can't help but become paranoid. My thoughts linger on my unsafety.Am I in a trance?Is this real or a dream?I slap my face hard which only attracts uninviting eyes on me. I must seem crazy. I kept mute, still feeling intimidated by everything before me. I look down trying to ease myself of the pain I caused must and away from the eyes that shot daggers at me.He speaks again.Is this heaven? I asked myself."She is my mate, Elders." He mentions again."Is this heaven?" I blurted aloud, looking back and forth at the eyes on me."Uhmm! No, it isn't." He states as he let
REFLECTIONLIAM'S POV____°°_______Knowing Rash would do the needful, I jog downstairs. I open to the refrigerator, took a cup, and poured myself a glass of water with ice in it. It chills my chest. Maybe it will lessen the intensity of anger boiling in me right now.She was supposed to stay in the room with Aerin. I didn't tell her about my encounter at the forest but she doesn't need to know. She doesn't need to know anything! I have my reasons and the least she could do was just follow my instructions!I ran my hand through my hair as I drink from my cup yet, again.I mind-linked Diana to come to the last floor. The general kitchen for the entire pack. I do have my kitchen but I hardly made use of it ever since. . .Diana trolls down the stairs in her white shirt and black pinafore outfit worn mainly by the royal servants. The royal servants are Omegas who mainly take care of the needs of the pack royals- The Alpha, Beta, and Royal warriors.'' Why weren't you where you were b
LIAM'S POVMy head was pounding from the strike and the last thing I wanted was a woman before me making a great deal out of nothing. All I require right now is adequate sleep.I wince in pain, now feeling it worsen as I make extra efforts to the nearest couch. Every step I take to relieve myself of this excruciating sting was futile.An Alpha is never weak. An Alpha strikes and never lose. My beta came to view and it seems like he was coming from Aerin's room."What the hell? Liam!'' His big eyes widen at me concerned."Just get me a fucking First Aid box, Rivers!" I hissed louder this time.He scurries away instantly. He always moves fast which gives him an edge over his opponents every time he was in a fight.Rivers and I are close buddies since childhood. Our parents' bond was unmatchable. He is a good and close friend that has always been present disregarding my cold and lousy attitude. He is reticent and accommodating but when Diego was in charge, he becomes that unrecognizabl
CHAPTER 8STRANGER'S THINGSAERIN'S POVI shake involuntarily at the sound of a deep harsh voice that make my body shake continuously in fear. The room was completely covered in darkness. No light passed through the room. It only made my skin rise in fright.I saw a huge, tall figure standing by my right when I snapped towards that direction.I felt my eyes widen, my thoughts were too damp to think of a defence. I tried moving my body a bit when my right hand caught hold of a stick. If it make any movement, I'd strike to defend myself.''Please, put that down. I was only checking up on you.'' It sounded familiar but deeper because where I was placed was silent. Nothing gave much sound aside the constant distant chipping of crickets and the low croaking of frogs. Admist these, the figure's voice made me shiver more. ''Who are you? What are you doing here? Wait! Where am I?''''Easy there Tiger, will you?'' The figured moved as it spoke. I hardly see at night, it only made me an
CHAPTER 9UNKNOWN POVHis form got closer and I instantly know who it is. I feel his presence as I stare at the emptiness. Just as it has always been. Things should stay the same way but not anymore.The beast is awake."Xylus." I turn my back to him at the mention of my name. The roughness in his voice was something I was fond of, except that it was different and deeper.Many believe they know him. They merely reside in the fantasy of their minds. It appears to secure them, placing their trust in him. Who am I, to compel their emotions and thoughts?He is a vengeful, ravenous, cold-hearted beast. I have seen these and more displayed.It's been two years since he last sent for me, since the death of his lovely mate who had been nothing but good to me.I do remember how this man fought earnestly for my family and me when war broke out between the two frenemies- The Panther Lord Pack and his long lost brother who sought his twin brother's life due to envy of Alpha Lord Zeus being the le
