Chapter Fifty Seven
Rose
Hades stalked towards the side of the room, closed off by bars. I shifted to see around him; the man was as wide as a mountain. Huddled on the floor behind the bed was a girl. She had her knees tucked underneath her chin, her hair the color of earth cascading down across her face. She wore a dirty shirt and discolored shorts.Her body was covered with bruises and cuts. She wasn’t healing right; even as a wolf, those injuries should have vanished maybe a few hours after they were inflicted. A silver cuff wrapped around her ankle, attached to a long chain that coiled in a heap on the floor. No wonder she wasn’t healing correctly. Her body shook slightly with anticipation as Hades came closer and closer.
“Oh, Leto, Leto, Leto.” Hades patronizingly sucked through his teeth as he pulled out a set of keys from his pocket. Hastily Hades unlocked the door, moving as fast as possible to not linger on the silver for too long. Why wasn’t he taking precautions againstRelated chapters
Once Upon An Alpha Chapter Fifty Eight
RoseThe weather began to slightly cool, giving into the approaching Autumn. It had only been a few days since I had the premonition. Orion didn’t press me to talk about it, but I could see the worry etched in every pore. He had been covering for me when it came to the pack, but I’m sure they were curious. Brigid, my mom, dad, Iris, Damian, Harriet, Heather, and even Alastor came to visit me. We typically sat in silence, or whoever came to see me just talked at me, not really to me, only filling the empty void that echoed throughout the room. Some people accepted the silence; others couldn’t handle it.Today I was hiding in the closet, tucked away underneath the clothes that dangled above me. I was wearing one of Orion’s shirts and staring at my premonition journal. The page was blank besides the date, I knew I should write about it, but I couldn’t...not yet. I let the journal slip out of my hands and fall to the ground.I pulled my knees to my chest, resting my

Orion“Do you have a death wish?” I dropped my voice as I hissed at Rose. “How could you be so reckless, Rose?”I had my fingers grasped tightly around her wrist as I pulled her away from the pack warriors, Alastor, Harriet, and Heather, who gathered by the stream. Instead of just mind linking me that she thought she noticed someone, she just chucks the rock in the tree. What if that hadn’t scared them off? She could have gotten herself killed.“I don’t have a death wish. Heather said she didn’t hear anything. How was I supposed to know I was right and someone was there?” She whipped her wrist from my grip.“What if it was Kroll? You literally experienced his attack on David. You felt how easy it is for him to kill you. You should always call me.”“What if it was nothing? I would look like an idiot.” Her spunk that had disappeared the past few days was back, and I was happy about it returning to her; I did not appreciate her using it to cock an attitude with me right

Rose After telling Brigid about the premonition I trudged back to the pack house, my feet felt like lead. Each step was more strenuous than the last. As I slowly made my way down the west wing of the pack house, I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing Orion at the moment, but I had the feeling he would hunt me down if I didn't see him sooner or later. He made it crystal clear he was mad at me and he didn’t approve of my actions today. Of course in the heat of the moment, I let it slip that I had felt like I had been watched before. How could I be so stupid? I had been purposely biting my tongue and now what was the point? I guess at this point it was best to just rip the bandaid off. Orion’s office doors were cracked, letting light leak into the hallway. I sucked

OrionI had doubled our warriors patrolling the border, but it didn’t feel like it was enough. I just felt like I needed to do more. I would do anything to keep her safe, but she was right. I couldn’t lock her away. She had every right to live her life. It is unfair to let my insecurities overshadow her ability to live.I sighed as I slid down the wall in my basement gym. I had been disappearing down here since the intruder. I just needed to get out my pent-up frustration before I did or said anything more that could push my mate further away.We smoothed over a crack, but it felt like at any second, the facade would crumble away. We had been civil, but there was an unspoken elephant in the room every time we were alone. I made an ass of myself when I let myself act like a teenager downing the last of my stash of bourbon, but I felt like I needed to do something. I was going crazy waiting for her to make her way back home.Now I was going crazy just waiti

RoseI looked around the misty forest letting out a not-so-subtle groan. Didn’t I just have a premonition? I honestly don’t think that I could handle another one so quickly. I fell quiet, waiting for something to tell me what way I should go. A soft breeze brushed against the back of my neck, beckoning my attention.“Here we go again,” I muttered under my breath as I began to let the breeze take me into its current. I snaked between trees and the underbrush of the forest, trying to keep up with the blistering pace it had set. It was like I was in a marathon and all I could do was pray I could keep up. Why was the wind in such a hurry today? Something didn’t feel right. All of a sudden, my feet began to run on their own, no matter how much I tried to slow down. I was no longer in control. I was locked into someone else’s path; I was just here for the ride. My breath became ragged and rough. My legs began to ache, all of the muscles I had faded away. Was this wha

RoseToo many bodies were crammed into Brigid’s little cabin. There were only two people who had room. Orion paced the floor. He had hastily thrown his hair up in a messy bun with a couple of stray pieces hanging down, framing his face. Brigid was unfazed in her chair.It was hard to move without bumping into another person. It was like we were trying to make a werewolf pyramid on her couch. At any second, I thought it would collapse. It was an Armando sandwich on the bottom tier. Iris and Alastor made up the bread, which left poor Damian to be the meat. Harriet was content as she nuzzled up against Alastor. My options were Damian, Iris, the floor, or standing. Sitting on Damian would only bring the wrath of Orion, and the floor would interrupt my mate’s pacing rhythm. I was about to give up and just lean against the couch; until Iris grabbed my hand and pulled me on top of her.“Oh, come on, Luna. I won’t bite...well, at least not you.” Iris beamed at me before

MattIt was a typical nonpatrol evening, just like the others since I became a pack warrior. I was in the training center with my headphones on, letting my surroundings melt away into empty space as I finished my set of Romanian deadlifts. I let the barbell clang to the floor before stretching out my hamstrings. I shook my arms out, allowing them to flop back and forth, preparing myself for another set. It felt like I was being smothered by a wet blanket, so I stripped the sweat-drenched shirt I was wearing, letting it fall to the floor.I added some more weight on each side of the barbell. I took a deep breath as I let my fingers curl around the barbell into a mixed grip. I wriggled my feet shoulder’s width apart, and with one quick fluid motion, I stood up straight, clasping the bar.I felt sweat drip down the nape of my neck and over my chest with every deadlift. When my set was over, I dropped to the ground and pulled my headphones from my ears. Only then di

MattI hesitantly pushed the heavy wooden door open, ready for anything that might come our way. Nothing but stale air with a mix of dust greeted us. I sniffed the air for anything prominent that could give me some clues, but the only thing I could pick up was the faint scent of rogue.“Maybe someone found a key and opened it?” Iris offered as she followed closely behind me. I felt her warm breath tickle the back of my neck. We dropped our bags in the foyer as I peeked around the corner.“Yeah, they just happen to find a random key and then go around to the dozens and dozens of buildings searching for the winner.” I scoffed as we crept down the hall.“Don’t mock me; it was just an idea. Why are we sneaking around? There are no fresh smells lingering.” Iris ignored me as she walked around me. “Let’s just do a sweep of the house and keep on moving. The more we walk around on eggshells, the more creeped out I am going to get. I’m sure this place was lovely w
