MasukSilas CraneI didn't know how much time had flown, locked in this dark cell. The walls were damp from the rain that dripped from the broken ceiling, and the air smelled rusty with a tinge of old blood mixed somewhere. I was almost certain that the last prisoner that was put in here, bled a lot. Maybe from being bullied or they had a medical situation...I tried pounding against the door again for them to open it. If only I was in my pack, things would have been better. But I had journeyed to the neighbouring pack where Janie was rumoured to be staying, and when I went there, something felt wrong. It was like I was looking at Janie, and at the same time, I wasn't. I wanted to believe that her reaction was as a result of the exile, but I didn't expect her to carry an old heavy trophy and bash her head with it. It was one of my trophys, I recognised. And when. I tried to stop her, it was already too late. She was bleeding hard and her scream had brought the neighbours in...They had to g
Dante DominicMr. Steward stared at me with hard eyes as I handed the documents over to him. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" He kept his gaze steady on me.I swallowed, and the document felt heavier than anything I had ever held in my life. "I am certain."Mr. Steward hesitated for a bit before he asked the second time to be sure. "This is a big decision that you'll be making, Dante Dominic. Especially when it is against your own father. You should know that this will damn him to hell at once, and there is no defense in court that would bring him back out of the walls of prison, right."I nodded my head, not trusting myself to speak. I knew the consequences of what I was doing. How it would break my mother and my sisters, but it needed to be done. Especially after Mr. Steward showed proof that he was sexually coercing Renée and forcing her to marry me.I had compiled it in a matter of days after he threatened my family... bank records, witness statements, the testimony of f
Lori StewardThis huge living room had never felt so small when everyone say down, well, except the woman named "Queen" who was my supposedly sister. The one who actually belonged in Glendale pack.I sat on the velvet sofa, one of the twins cradled against my chest while Luca dozed off in a bassinet nearby.. Dante, on the other hand, stayed beside me and his expression was filled with guilt, as if he already knew what was going on."Lori." Helena Steward, my mother, leaned forward, her elegant hands clasped together. "I know this is overwhelming. But you have to understand... we never wanted to hide the truth from you at all. We were trying to protect you.""Protect me." My voice came out flatly. "You let me grow up an orphan. You let me believe my parents were dead. You let me be bullied, tormented, rejected by my pack. And you say you were protecting me?"Helena flinched. "We didn't know where you were. Not until recently when we discovered the baby swap. It was when my father, you
RenéeThe tears were already flowing from my eyes before I could stop them. The damage had already been done and the guests went on to pretending that nothing weird was going on while Dante spoke his vows, his eyes never meeting mine. His neck still bore the mark of that Omega whore and the cameras were still clicking away.Dante had disappeared as soon as the vows were made, leaving me to stand on the aisle, and that was when the officiator escorted me back to my seat. I heard snickering behind me, and I knew at once that some of my friends had found the situation funny. I pretended that I couldn't hear them until the ceremony was over and the guests were entertaining themselves, and I had no other choice but to speak to them."Renée darling!" Queen's voice rang out as she rushed to gather me in her arms. "Oh you poor thing... Congratulations on your special day, though I must say that I expected so much better from what I saw. It's a good thing I didn't accept the request of those i
Lori StewardI heard a frown coming from Dante's room, which made me rush in fear. I heard what he did yesterday when Renée pushed him took hard, and now he was suffering the consequences of it."Dante! Are you okay?" I rushed to him when I found him kneeling and clutching his chest in pain. His face was pale, and his shirt was still covered with sweat even after he had showered three times. It was more than twelve hours now, and I was glad that he had gotten past the worst phase of it."Lori..." He held my hand gently even with the pain he was going through. "I need you to hear me say this..." He was breathing really hard, still trying to keep his voice as steady as possible. "You know why I'm doing this, but I still want to let you know... That whatever happens today... Whatever vows I will be forced to say or papers I'm forced to sign... Just always know that I belong to you. That I chose you as my mate. Not Renée. Not anyone else... Just you...""Dante, you should be resting. The
Silas Crane"We found her, and our scouts were right. She has been hovering around our borders for a while now. We even heard that she lives not quite far from us now..." Patrick leaned against the wall of my home gym. "Do you think she has heard the news that you have a daughter now? Will she try to weasel herself back into your life?"I scoffed at that. Into my life? I'd be damned. "Well, I want to grant her that courtesy of having some self-respect after she has been humiliated, knowing fully well that her humiliation wasn't as bad as the one she made us do to Lori." I thought about that evening bitterly.Patrick was about to say something else when a knock came on my door, and one of my messengers stepped in, apologizing as he handed me four different letters."Alpha... These letters started coming in about a week ago, but we didn't give it any priority because it didn't come with a seal from a respectable pack member, but I think you need to see this..."I snatched the letter fro
Lori's POV "You will be starting immediately as the team's medic. I will give you our training schedules." He paused and met my eyes from across the breakfast table. "I'm sure you're already well aware of it, but for formality sake." His cutlery barely made any noise on his plate. "Don't be late.
Lori's POV "I'll need you to carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it." He slipped the document on the hospital bed where I was having my breakfast. "I don't do second chances."His voice was hard and cold the same way it had been last night, and he towered over m
Lori's POV "My children, oh my goodness. Are they... Are they...?" I sat up immediately, my hands moving around my belly, trying to see if I was feeling any pain there, if they were fine, if they were—"Your babies are fine, ma'am. Which is a miraculous thing after all your body has been through."
Lori's POV"Stone the whore! She defiled the Alpha's bed!"Someone from the crowd roared in anger, and everyone else follows until over a hundred thousand werewolves were changing it. I was still on my knees, clutching my chest in pain from the searing pain of Silas' rejection when the first rock h
