Selly grew even more restless. They were going to shoot her, again. When the consciousness had started to return to her, she heard them discussing her being a different type of wolf. In a nutshell, she couldn't just shift to her human form. At least not in front of them. She had shifted once and it had caused her the death of Jordan. She had hurt the innocent guard who was just doing his job and Dominik had not been spared. She was remorseful for the things she had done in a fit of rage and she wasn't going to make the same mistake. All she wanted was to break free and run away, it wasn't like she would stay in her wolf form forever, she thought. The scratches continued, the indentation increasing with each time. “What's going on here?” The head of the facility made his way to where Selly was locked in. “Sir, the wolf won't stop causing trouble.” The one with the rifle said. “And you think watching her continue damaging the facility properties is the wise choice? ”
“Baby?” Luna Collette called, “wake up.”Jordan responded to neither sound nor touch.“Mama needs you.” She sniffed.Alpha Lewis caressed him, something about his son's wolf rubbed him differently.Something just felt a little off, he thought.He admitted though, his son surpassed him in size, with a fur coat as dark as a moonless night with no speckle of dust, he would definitely be the envy of many. As for strength, he didn't have much to say, they have never fought one to one.Glancing to the heavens, “My Goddess, please have mercy on my son.” he prayed quietly.If Jordan made it, the two would have a duel, Lewis made himself a promise.Now that he thought about it he had never interacted much with the adult Jordan. His son preferred his own company. He knew the reasons.Lewis did try to get close to him, create a father-son bond but his attempts were alway swatted by Jordan.The two couples stayed in Jordan's cell, not once leaving his side.Beta Grigor stood at the top stairs
Hesitant, her head peeked through the door flashing him a wide smile.Dominik rolled his eyes in his mind.“It is this troublemaker again.” He muttered.Why did she have to visit now?With eyes that never stayed in one place every few seconds, it didn't take long for her to spot him and strode towards him.Alpha Valery and Aria stopped, their attention clearly drawn to the girl.None of them knew who she was.“Hi.” She waved.It was obvious that she didn't grasp the tension in the room or maybe she just didn't care.Valery turned to look at Dominik. He looked stiff as though he was caught doing something bad.Her unplanned visit was going to give him problems later, Dominik thought.“Seems like you have a new…visitor?” He stated suggestively. “Aria, if you will.”Aria glanced at the girl and without a word, stomped out of the door followed by her father.Dominik didn't object this time. The last thing he wanted was to create a scene in front of the girl.He had hoped for a hug or go
Selly has never felt vulnerable like she did that day. People touching her, petting her. Not one body part was spared as they took whatever measures and samples they needed for their lab test. It was beyond disrespect and all she could was watch as it all unfolded. To them, she was a new kind of wolf that they were now experimenting with. From their conversation, she concluded that she has become famous overnight. A lone tear fell from her sad eyes while the broken pieces of her now weak heart continued to multiply. If only she could turn back time, she thought, she would never reveal her identity as Jordan's mate. She would silently go back to Erichon and forget about ever having had a mate. She would face her fate head on and marry the king of Horizenia. The kind of things she would have to go through once they confirmed that she really wasn't just a wolf terrified her. She had seen way too many documentaries to understand that being a guinea pig was no joke. I have to lea
Beta Grigor narrowly escaped the second hit aimed at him.The actions stirred the alpha’s anger and his visage turned visibly darker.How dare he? Internally, Lewis was burning with anger.“Fighting me won't change a thing.” Grigor reminded as he stood a few feet away from his Alpha.His words only seemed to send Lewis even further up into the graph of his anger.“A well respected and responsible businessman like yourself should face his challenges and not cower like a loser.” The Beta taunted.A low growl erupted from Alpha Lewis.Advising him was one thing but calling him a coward was definitely overstepping his boundaries and for that alone, Lewis was determined to show Grigor his rightful place. Out of all people, he expected total support and understanding from his Beta but this…What had gotten into Grigor’s head to act so disrespectfully, order-less like he did.Grigor smirked, “The more we lose time without doing anything to get the rogue in our hands first, the more it will
Another kind of silence followed after Alpha Lewis’s question.Having been preoccupied with the fight, not one knew whom the voice belonged to.Marc, who was still recovering from the high of being involved in a fight without proper explanation, looked at the two men, his eyes scanning one after the other.Just the heck was going on between his Alpha and Beta? He thought. These seniors have been landing merciless blow after blow just for it to end just like that?To Alpha Lewis, Grigor was the best person he had ever crossed paths with. His Beta knew him too well. He also understood why Grigor taunted him purposely. “Sometimes, a good fight helps regulate emotions and relax the mind.” He remembered Grigor’s words from many years ago.While to many it seemed logical to think things out, Grigor and him had their own ways of solving things.That fight was a way of Beta Grigor to help Lewis sort out his mind and they both knew it.A loud bang echoed as the walls of the mansion shook with
She still remembered that day. It had rained and the soil was damp and smelled earthy. Selly had been inside when she heard a knock. Deciding to answer the door, she wrapped herself with a scarf and headed out. The sky was already turning into a mixture of black and golden-red hues, a promise of changing seasons. The young woman who looked no more than twenty stood by the entrance. Spotting her late-hour visitor walking towards her with the help of a cane, she decided to meet her half way. “Mother priestess,” Selly’s face lit up as she bowed at the older woman. “I have been thinking about paying you a visit lately but here you are. At her words, a girly chuckle escaped the old woman’s lips. “The sky is rather colorful today that I felt like stretching these old legs of mine.” The woman bowed even deeper than she did, “Apologies for arriving unannounced.” Holding mother priestess' hand, she led her towards a pavilion by the garden. Shortly, a maid arrived with a tray, the ke
With an army of thousands of capable shifters at his disposal, Erichon would surely have a hard time keeping up.Veryl would not stop for anything until one of the kingdoms was erased from the map of Agal.That was not to say Erichon was weaker against Horizenia but it had everything to do with the opponent having some advantage over them.Although his threat sounded foolish at first glance, everyone in the supernatural world knew better than to provoke the seemingly calm and unbothered king. Not known as the aggressor, the young king was simply not scared of no one.The rest of the kingdoms wouldn't dare to intervene because consequently, that would escalate to world war which everyone was trying to prevent.Jeopardizing the two centuries of peace in Agal after having fought each other for hundreds of years was out of the equestion.Erichon and Horizenia were simply on their own.Putting the letter inside a drawer, Selly packed a small backpack. Just a few things she needed for a

Alpha Lewis struggled to remain calm. He wanted to shout out and set his contained anger free.The desire to go feral was evident in his bloodshot eye. For his mate, son and soon to be daughter in law, he swallowed a curse to whoever was playing with his mind.Who the fuck was messing with his family? he thought.“How is the situation?” He demanded after collecting his thoughts.“Bad, Alpha. The hackers are trying to pull out our phone voice records. Our team is doing its best to eliminate the threat therefore. It is better if we all adhere to code 009 until further notice.”Fuck! Alpha Lewis cursed in his mind. He could tell Ron was trembling as he relayed the message which translated to one thing and one thing only - the situation was worse.It all seemed like he wasn't going to have a peace of mind for a while. Adhering to the code meant that they couldn't communicate like they normally do regarding pack matters.They could either communicate through word of mouth or coded messages
At Marc's words, the room's chatter came to a sudden halt with each one processing the new information on their own.A hybrid! No one had ventured into that type of possibility yet and it was for a good reason too. A werewolf hybrid was the rarest thing to ever happen in the world of shifters, let alone the shifters living in the human world.And even if it did happen, the hybrid wouldn't survive the first shifting phase due to physiological discrepancies affecting their make.A fraction of rare cases ever recorded were those about young hybrids and not fully grown ones. They simply didn't exist. Marc carefully suggested, “Selly is a werewolf with partial shifting abilities which , in my opinion, is also a rare occurrence…”“Do you really think,” Luna Colette said, “she could be the rogue?”“It's only a theory, Luna.”“She would never.” Luna Collette defended Selly.Even if the situation was hard to decipher and she was grieving, she wasn't a mad woman to easily blame others, specif
Luna Collette sighed. “Her phone was found inside Jordan's room while she is nowhere to be found.”Dominik scratched the back of his head, a gesture that was common to him whenever he was frustrated. Where could she have disappeared off to? He thought. They were all preparing for the birthday party, it didn't make any sense for her to have just left. As far as he could remember, Selly had never missed a single birthday since she came into their lives.Did someone kidnap her? Or worse did the rogue attack her first before she did everybody else? “It seems like there is more to this than we initially thought.” He said.“Dominik,” Alpha Lewis addressed his son, his face turning to that of concern, “your brother, did he say anything?”With a thoughtful look he said, “He looked tired and worn out like he had been running for a long time or had been in a fight.”When Dominik had regained consciousness and found Jordan holding him, the navy blue fabric they had agreed to match on their bir
