~Gaston~

Clifton is the first to rush at the pack guard. Dion follows suit. Declan and I turned out to be the only sane ones among us. So we do what we ought to; block them off, preventing them from hurting an innocent man.

“Stop this madness!” I yell at both of them and turn to the guard. "Did they say exactly why they are here?" I query as my eyes dart towards the hall entrance where a couple of my men are already packing up the gifts from the Black-haw emissaries.

The poor pack guard standing before us is already shaking with fear. But he manages to let out a "no Alpha" reply to the question I asked him earlier.

"It's fine," I tell him. "You can go." Turning to Declan who is already awaiting my command, I tell him, "Go ahead." And he steps outside the hall to carry out his job.

As he's working through a couple of mind-links with his men, Dion does the same with the Tech team. And Clifton reaches out to my chauffeur, Killian to have him arrange an emergency exit for the Alpha if p

    ~Xyana~Clifton slips his arm under my head, drawing my body to him and bringing his lips to my hair.At the caressing touch from him, my body threatens to light up!'Oh, dear Goddess.' I sigh happily.Even if the fire expanding in my chest makes it hard to breathe, I don't think I really care because I want what my body wants. I crave everything my body craves for."Sleep, mate. You need all the rest you can get." He murmurs against my ears.His words feel like a drug that runs through my veins, branching out and making contact with all my organs. Because in a minute or two, the tension in my body died down and I'm finally lulled to sleep by Clifton's presence.But of course, my dreams got filled with thoughts of him and the things my body craved from him.•~I got woken up by Clifton's light-feathered touch against my skin. Clasping the bedsheets, I withstand the first wave of pleasure rippling through me."Fuck, Clif," I breathe o

    ~Xyana~"What are you saying? Is this about Alpha Kedar? If it is, then you should be rest assured there is absolutely nothing to be worried about because he indeed rejected me in his pack.""Not Kedar, Baby. I'm speaking of the Alpha." "Which Alpha?" "Gaston." He replies.My eyes widened, my right brow shooting up at his words. "Your brother, Gaston?" I ask, surprised that he would say such and suspicious that he's asking so calmly. "I don't understand." He darted his tongue out and licked his lips as if my question was making him uneasy. "If he asks you to be his Luna, will you?" I breathe in and shake my head, not as a way of saying no. But as a way of showing my confusion. "I don't know where this conversation is headed, but this is not something I would wish to discuss right now, Clif."He reaches out to me, running his finger on the side of my face, affection glowing in his eyes. "I'm sorry."Now Now, Clifton is acting strange.

    ~Clifton~"We can't find Xyana, Clif. We woke up one morning, and her body was nowhere to be found." Gaston tells me immediately he picks up my call."Where are you? Tell me everything went well. Did you find her at least?""Yes," I reply into the phone, looking at a sleeping Xyana through the tiny creak of the bedroom door. "When was this?" "Two days ago," Gaston replied, and I sighed. That was exactly when she woke up. What manner of sorcery is this?"Talk to me, Clif." The urgency in his voice makes me sigh again. It feels like it's been months already and I feel kind of exhausted. But a look at Xyana reassured me that the stress was worth it a hundredfold.I briefed Gaston on everything Apolyon told me. I spoke to him about the barrier between our world and Hell and how Xyana's safety would lead to a temporary closure of the barrier.I explained how the witches played us and everything Xyana went through. But I skipped mentioning my wo

    ~Clifton~The demon Apolyon told me about turned out to be a mighty worm that adapts to any color of the space he is in. More like a chameleon that blends into any object it finds itself on. The worm was quite big and had an internal pouch that he stuffs with things, including me.The worm's pouch could pass out as a comfortable bed because of its soft texture. It brought me into the room Xyana was being held in. And when I saw my mate, her heart broke a thousand times. Why in the Goddess's name will someone tie a defenseless woman up in a chair and force her to watch an orgy. Right before we left, Apolyon had given me two pieces of oxygen mask for myself and Xyana. So the worm let out a greenish gas from his skin. The gas turned the other demons into disarray as they struggled to see and breathe properly. He kept releasing the gas and freed me from his pouch to get Xyana.Unfortunately, Xyana has inhaled a lot of the gas. Her body was limp alre

    ~Xyana~I get pulled out of the prison cell by the supposed Prince. He hands me to a lady with the instruction to clean me up and bring me to the King's chamber.The lady let me use the toilet, 'Goddess bless her.' I cleaned up too and changed into a simple dress I chose myself because If I didn't, she planned on pushing my body into a corset dress that would cut off my breathing and probably end my life.There was no way to escape. The bathroom I was allowed to make use of, had no window. Can you imagine a bathroom without windows? Then the lady I was left in her care wasn't friendly. She kept a straight face all through.So striking a conversation was out of the question. She led me through a gigantic door and brought me before a man adorned in nothing but too much gold that it blinds the eyes."There she is." The Prince, who is standing beside the gold-adorned man, says, pointing to me. A man wearing a very colorful shirt and matching pants and

    ~Clifton~I attempt hitting Apolyon again and my body does the same thing. My fist hangs mid-air.I suck in the air and try to relax my mind as much as I can. Apolyon doesn't say a word. Rather he watches me as I manage to free my body out of the resultant rigidity.When I can finally move my body. I kick my seat back in frustration before sitting back down. "Make it make sense. I'm listening." I tell him and he takes a deep breath."Aside from concluding that Xyana is mated to you, I made other findings as well." He pauses and swallows hard before saying his next words."I've been here for a very long time, Werewolf. Longer than you can imagine. I used to be an enforcer. Orders are given out and I carry them out to the fullest. In return for every assignment I successfully carry out, I climb the ranks." Gradually, I work my mind to be open to whatever tale this monster has to tell me. When I look at him, he looks deeply troubled and maybe pitiful.

    ~Clifton~The next minute, I teleport to the monster, kick the glass from his grasp, and push my fist to his face, but shockingly, my fist freezes mid-air, not reaching his skin.He chuckles and taps my biceps gently. That is when I realize that my entire body is also frozen in place. "You can't fight me, just as I can't fight you. It's so annoying, I know that. But that doesn't mean I can't have you killed by someone else." He tells me, sounding not a bit upset but completely amused rather."What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I yell at him."I'm not doing anything." He raises his arms to deny my allegation. "You are the one who came after me, and you are the one facing the repercussion of trying to revolt against a part of you.""You bastard." I cuss him. "What have you done to Xyana?"His eyes soften for a moment before he frowns. "I did nothing to her. I realized she was connected to you. So I stirred clear of her. We were workin

    ~Clifton~ I try to diffuse the rays of the sun away from my eyes with my palms while I force my body up from the ground. The field I'm lying on is completely plain with no sight of life anywhere close. But when I finally stand on my feet, I spot two men I hadn't noticed before. They stood at a spot staring straight at me. Since they are the only loving thing I could spot around the area. I move my feet towards them. "Hello, can you help me with directions?" I ask, drawing closer to them. One of the men tips his head towards a straight path that looks lonely with absolutely nothing in sight. "If you came for the girl, you have to follow us." The man tells me, making me wonder what exactly Xyana is facing that got her this popular. If I had come here by myself for any reason other than Xyana, I would have taken my time to ascertain why these men would want me to follow them. In fact, I might want to

    ~Xyana~ The next time I open my eyes, I feel pain coursing through my body like lightning strikes. I look around me and realize that I'm behind a prison car with my body tied to a large rigid pole. Staring through the prison bars, I spot two human-looking demons obviously stationed to watch over me. They seem distracted and not focused on me, not until I pull at the twine, tying my hands behind, and they snap in my direction instantly, almost shifting to their demon shape and looking like they would strangle me in an instant. For the first few hours, I was alone with them. Or at least, it felt like hours. Then the prison door gets pulled open, and a group of demons enter the room. I froze, expecting them to acknowledge my presence and threaten me. Instead, they acted as if I didn’t exist, and it made me feel like I was losing my mind. Still, I shut my mouth, refusing to say a word so as not to call attention to myself. I watched and listened as they discussed within themselves
