Cassandra was best friends with the soon to be alpha of the pack, she was so sure they'd be mates. But her world is abruptly ripped apart when her pack is attacked, and she's the only one who survived. Years later and she teamed up with rogues to become the most feared pack, led under her new name, Veronica Spade. Veronica is a white wolf, and with that comes immense power, so is it really a surprise when her pack becomes the strongest, thriving with the need to avenge herpack, it's a massive shock to her when Dustin, her old best friend suddenly reappears, alive after all those years, and turns out to be her mate. Can he recognise her? Will he see past the tough exterior that she has created for herself?
Lihat lebih banyakPain. It was all I could feel, just excruciating pain. I had no idea what was going on. My body was squirming under my sheets, trying to clutch myself, desperately trying to stop the pain, to hold myself together.
I let out an agonising scream. Immediately I heard multiple footsteps running, gaining on me every second. My body coiled up, my muscles tightening.
I wasn't paying attention, I couldn't, the only thing on my mind was the pain. Snap. I heard the sickening crunch of my bones breaking.
Suddenly it dawned on me that I was being carried outside, the cold air hit me, making the pain only a little less excruciating.
The open field of our packs land was so tempting, it was like something inside of me was tearing me apart limb by limb, desperately trying to escape.
Why? I wondered, why did it want to get out so badly?
I didn't have time to dwell on that thought as before i knew it my body was writhing in agony, feeling my bones break, snapping one at a time.
I let out a yelp as my spine twisted. My entire body began to twist around, forming something new. A new form. Oh.
Now that I think about it, it was stupid that I hadn't thought of it before! I was having my first shift.
Although it was a lot easier to remember that when the pain was half gone.
As if the beast was finally being let out, there was one last shock of pain before it all began to fade, as if the demon was finally being coaxed out of me.
Gasps were heard all around as a warm coat of fur sprouted down my body.
I peeled my eyes open, noticing for the first time that my pack was surrounding me, looking down at me in shock. And there was one warm hand resting on my arm, I looked up into the warm brown eyes of Dustin, my best friend, and the soon to be alpha of our pack.
"Cassandra?" He asked, warily.
I gave him a grin, not really noticing that I couldn't exactly smile in wolf form. It was nice to know he still recognised me.
I stood up on shakings legs, looking expectantly at my pack, what do I do now?
They all just stared at me in shock.
Maybe being a wolf wasn't all I thought it would be. Maybe I was a monster.
I slowly began to back away, shaking in fear, what had I become?
I looked at Dustin, he still looked astonished, but his gaze softened when he saw me looking at him and he held his hand out cautiously.
I yelped and turned round, running off into the woods.
I ran far, and boy did it feel good.
It was like the monster that had been escaping my body had taken control of my body instead, and it loved it.
In the distance I saw a smooth lake, the water was still, nothing moved inside of it.
Slowly I approached it, before I looked, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, peeling them open I glanced towards the water.
My eyes widened, was that me?
The imagine in the water was beautiful, a Snow White wolf stared back at me with my grey-blue eyes. I used to joke to my friends, saying my eyes were like ice.
It seemed funny now, my eyes contrasted deeply with my silky fur.
Oh so that's why they had looked at me in such shock... I was a white wolf.
A white wolf was extremely rare. A pack that had a white wolf was considered strong and magnificent. I wasn't sure if I could live up to the standards though.
I barely even knew what this entitled, It felt so good to know that I would be able to make my pack proud.
I grinned at myself in the reflection, before turning back.
Trotting happily through the forest, I didn't notice the screams.
I should have, especially with my new, improved, wolf senses. I had heard that white wolves had it even better too.
I should have seen all the signs.
The faint scent of metallic rust.
The loud growls of wolves I was not familiar with.
But when I stuck my head through the treeline, all I saw was wreckage.
Dead wolves on the ground, wolves that I knew.
I couldn't breathe, instead I desperately looked away, backing into the woods.
The world around me stopped, nothing made sense, what was going on?
I ran as far as I could before I collapsed, I had never trained a day in my life and I was just so... exhausted.
I fell asleep, curled up on the forest floor, I had the worst nights sleep I'd ever had.
My dreams were filled with nightmares, of watching myself in the lake, seeing my reflection turn into a monster.
When I awoke, I was starving and tired, but I knew I had to go back to my pack, I had to check for survivors, I had to know who I had lost.
It took me a lot longer than it should have, but eventually I made it back to my pack.
I didn't bother to check my surroundings, I didn't notice I was being watched. All that mattered was the two bodies next to my paws that I knew to be my parents.
I fell to the ground and whined, nuzzling my nose into their necks, desperate for them to just get up and laugh, saying it was all a joke.
They didn't.
As I looked around me, I counted 52 bodies on the floor.
My pack had 53 members.
I escaped.
The others died.
Something inside of me died along with them in that moment. In that moment I swore to myself that I would avenge their deaths. I told myself that no matter what, I would kill the pack who did this.
And taking a deep breath, I made myself remember the scent. The scent of the wolves who did this.
And when I heard a low growl behind me, I told myself I'd be ruthless, I would do anything, even if it meant risking myself, to avenge my parents death.
I turned around to face the muddy brown wolf. He simply bowed his head in submission. My wolf accepted it, I could feel her inside of me. She could feel my potential. We were a rare, white wolf. We could do anything. I knew that for whatever reason, she felt trust inside for this rogue we had never seen before.
So, in trusting my wolf, I decided to go with the rogue.
And that is how I met Blaine, my beta. And that is why I am who I am today. Of course I had to change my name, I didn't want anyone to remember me.
That is how I became the strongest alpha in the world.
The pain keeps on increasing and increasing. I shivered as a cool breeze hits my body. But I'm unable to decide why I am feeling so cold? Suddenly warmth fills my body and I absentmindedly clutch the cloth closer to me in desperate need to get rid of the cold and feel some warmth. Still uncomfortable with the situation I twist and turn. Finally, I give up and open my eyes. The moment I did, trust me, I wanted nothing more than to go back and close my eyes, sleep again and think that I am just dreaming. I was back. Back in the same place I dreaded the most. The same cage I lived in, few years back. But only this time, I had company. A warm shawl was draped over me, and I was wrapped in it. I think that's what provided me warmth. "Mischa!? What is going on in here?" I questioned my voice hoarse. I pull my body up balancing on my hands as I try to sit up. Mischa glances down at me worriedly and yells at someone and something about a healer. "Someone please tell me, what the heck is
BYRONE My head feels like it's going to burst any second now. When we reach towards the northern wing of the pack house, it seemed much like havoc. Turns out someone has been spreading rumors about a criminal; who escaped from our dungeon cell and is now hiding in the northern wing. That's nearly impossible, as I have my pack's best warriors guarding the dungeon today because of the fest. And Enrile just returned from patrol, so call it overconfidence but I know this won't happen. These gullible Luna's created the whole chaos, taking me away from my precious mate and from our moment together. I release a tired sigh. It's not always I receive some sort of response from Avery, but today I felt like she will agree with me and be my mate. Then of course it had to be ruined. My mate who would have thought. I smiled thinking about her dark brown locks and her warm hazel brown eyes which reflects every emotion so deeply when she lets them to be seen. Her skin is a perfect blend; neithe
"Mischa... W-Why?" I groaned, clutching my chest. Somehow the drug she injected inside me, hurts me in my chest. And I have no idea what is happening inside me. The twist in the tale is being an Alpha Healer, I can heal others but when it comes to me, my body betrays me. I heal at a very slow rate but that doesn't mean that I won't heal. And that is what giving me strength right now to stand and speak even after being in heart wrenching pain. "I'm sorry... I had no other option. I am in as much trouble as you are right now." She whispers unable to meet my eyes and I stumbling upon my legs like a drunk turn and look at the person behind smirking at me. Narrowing my eyes, I step back pushing Mischa at my back to protect her. But when I tried to shift, nothing happened. The colour drained off my face and the smirking man infront of me chuckled. "Unable to shift, Dear Alpha?" He questioned tauntingly. I swear if I wasn't tricked this way I would have just killed him right here. Witho
You know that moment of your life when you are facing a situation and you are in a big dilemma of whether to explain yourself and fall right in the trap or stay quite and face the consequences. I am stuck in the same situation. Xian played it well here. "I want Avery." He demanded "Because I have heard of her skills and I need her extra healing skills..." He added, and my stomach churns at the thought of going with him. No one knows him the way I do. It's all a facade. I doubt if he needs my healing skills, I know he wants me back for some unknown reason. He played it well because he knows Byrone can't say him no. Not in the pack meeting. It's against the rules of the fest. Fest is celebrated to bind everyone together and Byrone being the organiser if refuses to help, the whole purpose of fest will fall apart. This is the moment I regret not telling Byrone about my horrific past with Xian. I kept myself hidden from Xian for a long period of time, I had no idea he will find me
I smirk knowing well that I had sparked his Interest in me."You seem to have lot of confidence in yourself." He comments cocking his head to one side and raising a brow at me.I turn and look at him sceptically. And then I smile again. I know my smile and calm attitude irks him more than my confidence."You don't survive in this world if you lack in confidence." Is all I answer before I leave and walk towards Byrone, smiling at him, who is currently busy talking to someone. They can't be dealt in evening at the meeting.He smiles at me as he sees me coming towards him and stretches his hand for me to take. I walk towards him giving him my hand but he refuses to hold my hand. I look up confused and he just smiles and place his hand on small of my back."Here, meet Avery, my mate." He Introduces me with so much pride in his voice that for a second I'm so moved with his actions that I forget that other person is greeting me."Avery, he is James. My very old friend and Alpha of Destiny p
When you meet me first time, yeah I give you the impression of those womens who hardly knows how to dress up.I totally agree because I have been in jeans throughout my life, but when the event comes, I know how to dress to impress.Willingly or unwillingly, today, I want to dress nicely. As cliché as it sounds, but for Byrone. His opinion matters. I want to look good for him. I enjoy his eyes on me and well, I don't get lot of opportunities to dress up, so I'm gonna grab whatever I got.I pick the clothes and place it down on the bed after analysing for n'th times if this is 'The' dress for the fest today. Considering it's an outdoor event, so I picked a light outfit for a better appearance.I quickly dress up because Arena here has dutifully informed me that most of the guests had already arrived.Curling my hair, I keep my makeup light for a natural look with nude lipstick and kohl and pair my dress with black cutout heels.The day is clear and bright, radiating happiness and with
