LOGINAgainst all of my prayers, the cloud soon began to pour heavily, drenching my whole body. I should go back to the pack's territory or at least take shelter somewhere till the rain subsides but I couldn't bring myself to because I was honestly worried, I might not be treated like one but Chloe is like a younger sister to me, she always had my pity as her parents made her live a confined life inside the pack's territory without a valid reason, and now she's out here all alone, it's really dangerous out here, what if she gets hurt or people bully her or does something nasty to her?
My thoughts occupied my whole senses as I walked making me unaware of the stone in front of me and I tripped, almost falling Two strong hands suddenly gripped my arm preventing me from falling to the ground. But this all seems very familiar, too familiar, my head went back to the heart-stopping moment I had with the Lycan twins in the school’s store room. I slowly raised my head, expecting to see my two familiar saviors but I couldn’t have been more wrong as my eyes met with two stone-faced men, one was tall and muscular and the other was short and not so built, they were both grinning from ear to ear as they stared at me "Careful lady, someone as pretty as you are shouldn't be allowed to fall to the ground," the short man said "Pretty? Oh spare me please, she ain't pretty but I don't mind enjoying her body either way" the tall man uttered, smacking his lips "I'm... I'm sorry and thank you for saving me from falling, I'll take my leave now" I said as I made to leave but they both held on to my arm, still gripping me tightly "We didn't say you could leave," the tall man said "What is a weak wolf like you doing outside your territory on a rainy night? You are one of those wolves that always sneaks out of their homes in the night right?" the short man queried "What? No, I promise you I didn't sneak out or anything, I just really need to find someone and I'll return to my pack" I explained hoping they would let me go "Oh it's obvious that you are a stray wolf," The tall guy said, still staring at me with his greedy eyes "What pack are you from?" The short man queried "The.... the Nightwalker pack" I replied and they busted into a howling laughter "She's from the lowest pack around here" the short guy grinned "This means we can have our fill of her without a problem" the tall guy smirked, cupping my face with his hand "No, no let me go" I cried as I struggled to break free, but my tears and cry for help were both drowned by the heavy rain "Oh tonight is going to be good, let's get under some shade and get this done with," the short guy said as they both began to drag me down a dark alley "No, no please, I'm only but a servant, I am lowly and unattractive, please let me go please" I pleaded, my voice quavering with fear. These are some of the times I detest my wolf, it should help me break free of these guys now but whenever I'm in any sort of danger, it's practically asleep, my wolf is useless. I have to find a way to save myself from these wicked wolves who bent on destroying me.They both were hit by something hard. They both turned to where that came from.
Marabella POV“I waited and I waited. I was close to being alpha; I was the strongest in my pack. Surely, my family was going to find me. Surely it was only one more day of torture I had to endure.”He shook his head, the pain in his voice and his eyes piercing my heart, making it bleed for him. I kissed his chest, my eyes stinging with tears.“They never came, did they?” I whispered, and he shook his head, his jaw clenched.“I was a captive with the vampires for three years before I escaped. I tore through a lot of them to do it, and almost died trying to get back to the werewolf territory.“I was lucky the border was passable because I was a wolf going into my own territory. When I got back, I expected relief, or a welcome, or even a bit of sympathy for what I had endured for my pack, silent, never giving up our secrets.“I had withstood a lot in that time so the vamps couldn’t get the information they wanted.”“What did your family say?”He scoffed drily. “My family. My parents loo
Marabella POV I woke up sick again, shivering a little under the intensity of the feeling. The night was still dark, a slight breeze blowing in through the window.I untangled myself from limbs and went to the bathroom. I splashed my face with water, then took a sip of the potion that had been left for me on the bedside table.It instantly calmed the thrashings of my nausea and I breathed a sigh of relief.I held my protruding stomach, the roundness noticeably growing every day. I knew human pregnancies didn’t normally grow so quickly, that I was really going to test the limits of my body in the growing months.It would probably take more and more toxin to get me through, but I would do it.Not just for me, but for my alphas.I looked down at them sleeping, frowning at the single alpha that had occupied my bed with me. It took me a second to remember Brax was still healing in the infirmary, but Jayden wasn’t there either.But I felt him. Something tugged inside me, a sadness, a fear
Marabella POVThis man was threatening me, my alphas, and my baby, but it was all based on a bias that my father had instilled. I just had to fuck with that.He looked up at me, a frown creasing his brow.“I am going to let you go. I’ll let you run back to my father, and when you get there, and he curses you out for being a traitor if he doesn’t gut you first, of course, he’ll put you in the dungeons, and I bet you won’t survive the treatment they give you down there.“So,” I said, and stood up, “either answer a few questions and stay in this nice, safe cell where you’re fed and clothed or go back to my father, where the comforts you can get used to are piss on your food and rats as friends.”I smiled sweetly, and his bread dropped from his hand. He looked at me like I was insane before his glare switched on.But I was ready for it.He lunged for me as I grabbed the blade out of Jordan’s waistband. It was at the prisoner’s cock before he could reach me.And even if he had, Jordan’s ha
Marabella POV Jayden’s lip pulled back from his teeth, but Jordan seemed to actually consider it. Brax was listening, but he looked like the pain in his shoulder might be pulling him back to sleep.I grabbed his hand in mine and held it as we tried to figure out what to do next.“I don’t want you anywhere near humans. Last time we did that, they kidnapped you. Not to mention the arrows that came too close to you and our child for comfort,” Jayden argued, but Jordan sighed.“We could be right there with her, Jayden. We have to try everything, and what if she’s right?”“What if she’s not?”“Um, hate to be a buzzkill, but in about a minute, maybe less, that choice is going to get taken from you, so you should probably just stow your caveman antics for today, brother.”Beenie grinned, and he growled at her. She grinned wider, and I found myself enjoying the way she riled him up, almost like how I did.He looked down at me and I smirked; he knew exactly what I was thinking.“You are nothi
Marabella POVJordan stepped forward then, sitting on the end of Brax’s bed, holding my hand in his as he kissed the top of it, then rubbed his thumb over the tingling skin he left behind.“That’s what we’re trying to tell you, beautiful. None of us has ever felt this way before.“Yes, we have been in love, well, the sane ones out of us have,” he eyed Jayden, who just smirked, “but it is still nothing compared to you. Our breaths are not our own, our thoughts are not our own, our souls are not our own: they belong to you, beautiful.“You’ve claimed us in every way, and without you, we are nothing. None of us has had that before. So whatever our pasts were, don’t let them get into that head of yours and tell you things that just aren’t true.“You may be a human, a winter born, but the truth of it is, you are our alpha. I think at this point, you are the only one questioning that,” Jordan said reassuringly.I leaned down to kiss him, needing to feel the words on his lips that were burni
Marabella POV“Now she has nothing, and I feel her resentment. I don’t know how to fix that because I’m not giving any of you up, but I don’t think it was fair for me to find out like that,” I said, stepping forward and holding the end bar of Brax’s bed.“I was going to tell you, Spitfire. I just hadn’t decided when,” Brax admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.I nodded. “Well, before I was pregnant might have been a good start. Before you claimed me. Any point before now would have been preferable. Now I feel I’ve been lied to, and I hate feeling like that.“What I need to know is, are there any other females that have been a serious fixture in your lives?“I know none of you have mated, but have there been any others like Danika, who were going to bear your children? Or become your luna in case you didn’t mate?” I asked firmly, steeling myself for the answers.“Danika was the only official one. Our parents had pushed the union for a while in case I didn’t mate, so it was
