Nyx's POV Kieran paced around the living room in anger. He wasn't destructive, but he was panting hard as he walked a short distance. I left him, watching him puff angrily as that'd probably be the best thing for either of us at the moment. “How long did this nonsense start?” Kieran growled. “When exactly?”“Twenty-four hours after you left,” Jubril responded. “At first, the attacks were pretty slow, and then, they just never stopped coming. Rather, they increased in number.”“The things I will do to Caleb and his cohorts,” Kieran growled. “Calm down, baby.” I said through a mind link, and he turned his face to look at me. Just like the sweet lover he was, he walked over and sat by my side. “Caleb is really getting on my nerves,” Kieran hissed, cracking his knuckles.“And very soon, I trust that you will bring him to his heels,” I assured him, holding his hand.“Alpha, I've checked all the security footage that binds us to a distance radius of at least five hundred meters, and no
Kieran's POV Without asking, Grey drove faster towards the mansion, seeing that a fight was going on there. “I'm sure this is that fucking bastard again.” I growled, angry that Caleb was still trying to fuck with me. I jumped out of the car, and they were obviously having problems with the fight, so we decided to save them the stress.My heart pounded with anger as I watched the chaos in front of us. Wolves were locked in a brutal fight, ours against an invading force. The air was filled with the scent of blood, mixing with the sounds of snarls, growls, and cries of pain. I didn’t wait for the car to stop. I jumped out before it fully halted, shifting midair into my wolf form. My paws hit the ground hard, and I launched forward, immediately locking onto the nearest rogue. He was a huge brown wolf, snapping his jaws at one of our warriors. Before he could land a fatal bite, I slammed into him with full force, knocking him off his feet. He yelped, scrambling to regain balance, but
Nyx's POV We had arrived at the next pack, ready to investigate and uncover whatever clues we could find. The air was filled with the stench of death, a heavy, suffocating scent that clung to everything. It was eerily silent, as if the land itself was holding its breath. The atmosphere wasn’t just unsettling, it was wrong, deeply and unnaturally wrong. Kieran stood a few feet away, speaking with Nicholas. They seemed to be in a very heated discussion. From the little I caught, they were discussing different ways to handle an army of the dead, if that was what we would be facing. It was clear that they weren’t just throwing around ideas for fun. There was an understanding between them that whatever was coming was likely far worse than we could predict.I focused my attention on the bodies before me, trying to ignore the way my stomach twisted in discomfort. They were eerily similar to the ones in the Bultir pack. Their skin had turned dark, a mixture of black and deep purple. Their
Kieran's POV “Of course, we will.” I muttered, pulling her hair back as we cuddled to sleep.“What if whatever is happening to them happens to us, and we suddenly die?” Nyx asked, holding my shirt tightly. “I doubt we'll die anytime soon.” “Life is fickle.” She whispered, turning to look at me. She sat up, and so did I. “Today, the world is going pretty great and everything seems fine, and then tomorrow, Alphas and their packs are dying from vomiting water.” She sighed. “And the worst part of all this is that there's no stream close to the places we've just visited.”“Which means that they adhered strictly to the rules and were still on the wrong side of everything.” She muttered.“Nyx, don't overthink it,” I said sharply. “Yes, the situation right now is pretty horrible, and it seems like the world will end in no time, but I trust your pretty and pretty brilliant head to come up with a solution in no time.”“We will survive this like we always do, I promise,” I said, kissing her
Kieran's POV I was taken aback by the dead pack that was standing again. The look on their faces was just normal. There was nothing that could describe whatever they were feeling. It was just like a dead chicken, standing up to walk about, still dead.“How the fuck are they alive?” Nicholas muttered in shock.“Whatever is causing this death is way more powerful than we're giving it credit for,” I said, grabbing a piece of metal on the floor.“How do we even kill a bunch of strong dead people?” Gary asked.“Fuck, how do we kill dead people?” Jephta asked, looking panicked as they began walking towards us.I was glad that we were all on the same page about what needed to be done to them.“Well, make sure you take out their hearts,” I said. “The life-form of any creature ends when blood can no longer flow, and the key to making that happen is taking out their hearts.” “Well then, let's plug out some hearts, right?” Nyx sighed, and we met the already running mob of the dead pack on thei
Nyx's POV Early that morning, we drove out again, straight for the Bultir pack, the closest pack to us where the unfortunate incident had occurred. Kieran was very touchy throughout the ride, and I kept giggling. It was easier since we were the only ones in the car. The driver was very good at minding his business. Kieran and I never really had any alone time after the call the previous night. He was on a call with other Alphas for a great deal of time, and everytime I check up on him, he's always genuinely trying to escape, but the Alphas just wouldn't let him be. I understand where they're coming from though. Speaking with Kieran is a blessed thing to do. Kieran set his eyes on me, and he gently kissed me. I giggled again, holding his face as his lips melted into mine. His hand ran through my body, making me gasp gently. I kissed him back, holding the nape of his neck. “I was thinking about you all through last night.” Kieran whispered into my ears, and I became an ocean down th
