"Emily!" Her mother shrieked.Emily who was pouring over scrolls and ancient texts jerked up."Mom, is something wrong?" She said into her phone that was tucked under her chin. Flipping through some pages and comparing them with others."All the witches of the circle in our coven are dead.""What?!" Emily blurted out, grabbing her phone and pressing it to her ear."All thirteen witches in our coven's circle are dead."Emily gasped."What happened?"The prophecy about the chosen one is true." Her mother replied, her voice shaking."Mom." Emily groaned, "speak clearly.""You know how the clan planned to retaliate? Well, Shirley found a witch to complete the circle and they began weaving spells of doom and catastrophe on the werewolves. Last night the 13 witches attacked fully from a cabin close to the werewolf boundary. The spell was almost complete when he attacked, burning them alive."A shriek trickled out of Emily's mouth, "Burn? How did he even find them weren't they supposed to b
Andrew wrestled in the old Alpha's grasp without any success. He thrashed, struggling to catch his breath, his face flushed and pale as he gasped."I promised." Douglas bit out, "and I always keep my promises, Andrew." Douglas proceeded to ram him into trees, punching and suffocating him. Andrew found himself unable to defend himself or fight back. He didn't know if it was fatigue or the lack of oxygen in his brain that left him flabby in his father's hands.He didn't resist, he allowed the old alpha to hit him.With each blow, Douglas's rage heightened. He plunged his claws into his shoulders, twisting them until he heard the satisfying crunch of a breaking bone. He withdrew his hands and elbowed his nose, repeating the hit until the blood gushed out from it like an open tap.He tossed him into a tree with so much force that the tree split into two. Stepping on his neck he picked a large splinter from the tree and plunged it into his chest, enjoying the sickening crack of his ribs a
After the panel dispersed, Douglas summoned Andrew. His mind ran with countless thoughts and possibilities. The panel's decision made him realize that now more than ever, he needed Andrew to become Alpha. Andrew limped into the conference room with a grimace on his face. The gashes and bruises on his body were still very visible as his injuries healed slowly. He walked in with a resigned look on his face, followed in by Larry and Laura who couldn't trust Douglas to contain himself because Brighton was on the verge of collapse."Sit," Douglas gestured, the panel had left him sour."The panel converged today and discussed your case." He started without waiting for Andrew to get comfortable."You have two options. Become Alpha or be banished from the pack forever."Andrew smirked, and was about to open his mouth to speak when Douglas said."Think about it carefully, if you leave, you shall become a lone wolf or rogue. You shall lose access to Brighton's luxury. Should you decide to join
"Since Nicole has been removed from the picture, who are we replacing her with? Who will be my worthy Luna when I become Alpha?" Caleb asked suddenly.Mendez growled, clenching his fists, his eyes flickering as his wolf battled for control.Caleb grinned,"I'll need a Luna, father.""Stop it!" Douglas growled."How about I make you a deal, Gamma Mendez, I'll take Nicole as my mate and battle with the panel if need be for…." Caleb said."Shut up!" Douglas growled, lacing his voice with dominance.Mendez's anger diffused. He narrowed his eyes thinking of the possibilities. It would solve his problem, especially if they mated now that he wasn't Alpha.Douglas's voice in his head interrupted his train of thoughtsDo not dare. He warned.Mendez let the idea slide away, but was going to revisit it later."Get him out of here," Douglas screamed at Caleb's handlers. Who promptly wheeled out a laughing Caleb."I'll be Alpha father. Even the stars agree." He said."That fool doesn't know when t
"I have a proposition for you, Larry." Caleb's voice rang through the woods.Larry skidded to a stop, he panicked, being wolfless meant he was now vulnerable.He looked around for the source of Caleb's voice. Caleb laughed,"I won't risk revealing myself to you, I'm on probation remember? Plus I have been around for a while now and have quite an amount of tricks up my sleeve." He said,Larry growled,"Oh come off it Larry, all you need do is listen. I have something that will free you from the old Alpha's leash." Caleb said.Larry growled again, "Stop it," Caleb sounded bursting into fits of laughter. "You sound funny without your wolf. How are you holding it together?""I…." Larry started,"As I said earlier I have something that'll interest you. All you have to do is listen." Caleb cut in."I don't think anything you say can excite or interest me." Larry shot back, and snarled, his eyes darting in every direction.Caleb chuckled,"I beg to differ." Caleb sneered. "You know exact
Andrew staggered back almost tripping on his bed.Standing in front of him was a tall but pliant young woman. She was dressed in all cyan-blue shorts and a sweatshirt, her dark red hair though stacked up in a high ponytail was still at knee length. Andrew narrowed his eyes on her barefoot. The lady chuckled,"I mean I could have knocked but that seems too boring," she said.Andrew arched a brow, How the hell did she climb in? This is a 3-storeyed building, this is the third floor, and there is no ledge on that window."Oh my, you don't recognize me?" She gushed, then moved forward with her arms stretched out.Andrew's heart exploded as he saw the movement of her feet. It was so fast and blurry that it looked like she was slowly floating toward him.He watched her keenly while trying to keep his expression even. He thought he was going to die from a heart attack because his heart pounded violently. To make matters worse, his wolf remained neutral. It wasn't reacting to the being bef
Douglas lay listless on his bed. He'd been awake for hours unable to sleep as the fear of Andrew's decision gripped and taunted him.The words of the familiar spirit that visited him weeks ago buzzed in his brain. 'They won't attack you directly or harm your son. They'll shake the foundations of your ascension to power. Piece by piece, they'll dig up all those skeletons you've buried deep. They'll reveal all the curses you turned to rumors and myths, they'll expose your malevolent deals. They'll destroy what you cherish the most and like the final icing on a cake, your Brighton will fall……… To save yourself and your precious pack, Andrew has to step in as Alpha immediately. Time's running out Douglas, you have just a few weeks to go before they come for you.'He swallowed. It was slowly coming to pass. He'd realized a few hours earlier that the recent attack was not to wipe out the pack. No, the spirit was right, they wanted the pack to suffer but mostly wanted to attract the Compli
Morning came too fast for Andrew, He had run throughout the night, trying to make sense of what Selene had revealed and what exactly she was.Witches couldn't go poof like that, they also couldn't climb in through a three-story window with no ledges. A vampire could quickly zap in and out but not disappear, plus Selene exuded warmth, vampires were undead and could only enter when invited, they wouldn't dare trespass his territory. Fae and fairies didn't possess that type of courage or power, Elves kept to themselves, and Walkers who could do such couldn't possess the amount of knowledge Selene did. That was the list of creatures in human form that he knew of. Demons were another thing entirely, and if Selene was one, she wouldn't have left him alive. Plus she'd healed his wounds.The matter was just too mind-boggling, Another thing that bothered him was the truth in her words. He had never been more confused in his entire life.Last night, his wolf didn't mind, it busied itself with
