登入Alexandra's body slumped against me, already unconscious.I could feel the gaze of the other two on me. My hands cupped the back of her knee, lifting her up into my arms while she slept."What are you going to do with her? You know she can't stay here." Master Monrei said, grunting as his body struggled to stand even with his walking stick.My eyes shifted from Alexandra to him. "I think... I think I'm going to send her home."The tension in the room heightened after that, and for good reason.Alexandra would have never agreed to this. Were we to meet again, she'd be angry and upset, but at least I know she wouldn't be dead."She doesn't like it there. Apart from her brother, they treated her like an outcast." Master Monrei pointed out.Irina, for some reason, was quick to my defence. "Alexandra's life is very important right now. Whoever bears the demon's eye shouldn't even have a mate or a family. I'm glad you and your father weren't close, because his death could have been even mor
My heart nearly leapt out of my chest. Master Monrei was right. A few seconds after he spoke, the sound of the front door echoed into the makeshift clinic we were in. I assumed we were still in the morgue, probably in some backroom. He made his way towards us, his footsteps getting louder and louder. My heart raced as the door was pushed open and he stepped in. If I couldn't move before, my body cooperated then. Before either Irina or Master Monrei could hold me down, I launched myself forward, wrapping my arms around Marcus while sobs raked through my body. "I thought... I thought we were going to die." He winced, clearly in pain, before hugging me back. His touch felt like life itself, finally giving me the chance to breathe. "It's OK, little wolf. It's OK." I realised then that my breathing had become uneven through the sobs raking through my body. "How did this happen?" "It's okay," he whispered again, planting a small kiss into my hair. "I'm going to fix this. But I need
My eyes snapped open, glancing around immediately as the harsh light pierced through. My body ached, but the pain didn't fully register at the moment. Fresh air filled my lungs greedily, until coughs raked through my body. I tried to sit up from the soft fur cot my body lay on, wincing immediately and sinking back into my original lying position. My skin crawled, hands raking across it to check for damage. "Sit still. You might injure yourself." A familiar, old voice pierced my ears. I couldn't bring my body to stay though, simply launching myself into Master Monrei's arms without thinking. "How?" My voice came out shallow and weak. The single word sent pain raking across my chest, sending me into a fit of coughs. "Get her some water and herbs." He ordered someone. My eyes snapped open just as the person left the room. It couldn't have been Marcus, that I knew. He'd have been first at my side if he could. "Don't try to talk. I know you have questions." His hands wrapped arou
My heart beat went from racing to a complete halt.'He'll be dead.'Those words rang in my mind as they all continued speaking among themselves, ignoring me.Some parts of me wanted to give up. After all, I was a wolfless omega, against four Alphas. There was no escaping.But then everything Master Monrei had taught me came to mind. The nights I shared with Marcus, the rage I felt when I discovered my wolf had been taken.My body finally allowed itself to breathe, preparing for the stupid choice I was about to make.If Marcus was dead, I would have felt it. Our bond had been fully sealed, so even now, I knew he was alive.My eyelids slammed shut, trying to reach for Marcus wherever he was.Maybe there was a way to keep him from murdering all those people and save myself after all.Once I could feel him, I pressed for him to let me in, which he did. The excess energy he'd almost lost control of flowed into my body.My eyes snapped open, locking instantly with that of the third man, who
My feet crunched against the twigs on the forest floor as chaos began to erupt all around me. I kept glancing back, hoping that Marcus or anyone would appear behind me. He'd stayed back to fight Lucien. There was no way to settle the dispute unless one of them was dead, which meant for him to become alpha... Lucien now had to die. I froze in my tracks, turning around and trying to catch sight of whoever it was. Hopefully they could help me. "Are you sure you saw her run this way?" A man said, deep and heavy. Definitely an alpha. "Ys of course I saw her." Another voice said, closer than the first one. "Let's just hurry up and get her back. Alpha Lucien promised to reward us heavily if we could. I can't believed Alpha Marcus fell for the diversion and actually sent her out." They laughed together, much closer than before now. My heart began to race even more, and despite how tired I was from running, my breath hitched, holding still. My gaze swept my surroundings, trying to find
My wolf howled within me, furious to see my brother sitting on my throne. "Brother... what are you doing back here so early?" he asked, his voice projecting nothing but noise and fake confidence. "You sent the false alarm," Alexandra spoke first. "And you killed Alpha Damarus." Lucien's lips curved up into a cruel, disjointed smile. "I see I've found the little rat crawling in the walls." His gaze snapped to the guards that lined the walls. "Accusing your alpha of committing such a crime alone can be counted as treason. Arrest the bastard and my brother!" For a moment I was confused, even more when the guards began to approach us, spears in hand. "Are you all blind? I am your heir and now your alpha. Stand down!" I growled, getting more and more impatient. They hesitated before reaching for Alexandra, less because of them hearing me and more because of what they had heard about me. "He cannot do anything to you," Lucien's eyes flickered. One held a familiar glint while the oth
My mate offered almost no struggle, following me out quietly. My father’s words occupied my mind like weeds, too stubborn to die down, but the bond chased off the echo quickly.We walked toward the edge of the grounds where the convoy of my pack was. In the harsh sunlight, the bruises that painted
“That’s Alpha Marcus, heir of the Ashclaw Pack!”“Did he just call that omega servant his mate?”The room erupted into loud murmurs, which only subsided when the man, Marcus, tore his gaze from me to the guests.The Ashclaw Pack. They were known for their large territory and merciless mentality. An
I stood beside my parents in the grand hall, not as their daughter, but as a slave. Their eyes were glued to the large bronze doors at the far end of the room, awaiting the entrance of my brother, their pride and joy, and the only person in this family who could bother to be kind to me. “Alexandr
The Ashclaw packhouse was exactly as the stories described.Large. So large one could get lost in the halls for days. The carriage had carried us past the outer gate where the town was, and stopped at the ancestral packhouse.“Welcome back, Alpha Damarus.” A woman stepped out of the large palace-li
