~Xyana~

When we get home, Dion leads me to my room on Gaston's floor as he gives me the top gist about a couple of the pack members.

We arrive at my room; he stops at the door, a sad smile on his face. "It feels so good to see you happy, Sunshine." He says, touching my cheeks gently. "I hope you have a lovely evening with Bones."

I clear my throat, "thank you." I say, kissing his finger on my cheek.

We just stand there staring lovingly at each other while I enjoy the hell out of his scent. After a few seconds or minutes, I can't be too sure. He shakes his head, grinning. "Oh, looks like you want to eat me up with those eyes." He jokes, laughing lowly.

He plants a kiss on my forehead and says; "I want to stay right here with you, but I have to really go. The Alpha gave me a couple of assignments to carry out. But I took out time to check on you since it was your first time going to the construction site."

"Thank you for always caring about me. See you l

    ~Xyana~Stepping out of my room, I head straight downstairs and run into an Omega along the hallway.She directs me to Clifton's office and I head outside the pack house. Shielding my eyes from the fading rays of the evening sun, I turn the curve to the same complex building where Gaston's office is located.I pass the large living room and take the stairs to the first floor which brings me to a door with the tag; 'Beta Clifton.' My heart beats into my throat and I gulp down before knocking.He calls me in from behind the door and when I step inside, it is obvious that he isn't expecting to see me. But he immediately wipes the shocked expression from his face and clears his throat."What are you doing here?" He asks."Umm... The Alpha sent me."He stares at me, a deep scowl on his face. But I continue speaking. "He says you should reply to his mails immediately, and I should treat the message as urgent.""I just replied to his mail," Clifton tell

    ~Xyana~“I'll tell my mates, I'll start with Declan, tonight," I tell Clifton. "And for your information, if they reject me, get ready to be rejected by me too,” I whisper and start heading to the door."Never!" Clifton yells. "You can never reject me."Inhaling sharply, I wipe my eyes before the tears can fall and turn around to see Clifton standing right beside me. 'How did he do that?' A frown has replaced his arrogant expression as he looks at me.“What?” I ask, my voice shaking embarrassingly.He adjusts his weight onto his other leg as he clicks his tongue. “I'm not asking you to tell them because I want to punish you, I'm asking you to tell them because they deserve to know the truth. And even though I might be praying that they take it so badly and it ends with rejection, it doesn't make me evil or a villain.”“Ha,” I breathe out, letting my arms slump to my sides. “Go fuck yourself, Clifton!”He smiles, "I like it when you try to act me

    ~Xyana~Dion had gotten lots of lovely outfits for me the other day and although I still don't feel like the most beautiful girl in the world when I wear them, I don't feel so ugly anymore. Not with Mona making sure I wear an outfit that compliments my body type.By the time we got done with me, I couldn't recognize myself anymore. I look like I just got out of a stylish beauty-trained box. I twirl in front of my dressing mirror and watch the crystals on my dress glow effortlessly. My face is shining, so beautiful with the lush and soft makeup Mona applied on it, and my hair feels soft like rich-fluffy-expensive-fur. My skin feels like butter."I look so different." I exhale staring lovingly at myself."I'm glad you approve," Mona replies, giddy with excitement. "I can't wait to hear everything tomorrow. You owe me that much tomorrow." He says pointing at me. "Don't forget.""I'll tell you what I can." I chuckle."I'll find a way to make you tell me

    ~Xyana~I silently curse myself as I see the blue twirls in Declan's eyes disappearing. He seems to have perceived the change in the atmosphere as his expression gets replaced with a worried look.Maybe I shouldn't tell him. I could just tell him a convenient lie and hope he doesn't find out. But that would be unfair. As my mate, he deserves to know the truth. Clearing my throat, I rub my palms together, making him look at me even more worried. “Is everything alright?”“Uhh? Of course,” I answer, forcing a smile.After taking a big gulp of my red wine, I start speaking. "I was young when it happened. My father died during one of the numerous wars between our pack and some of their rivals." I swallowed air, terrified of the things I was going to say. "My mom couldn't bear the loss. She was one of the pack's biggest surgeons at the time. But after my father's death, everything went downhill. Her surgeries were becoming terrible and she had to pause at a poin

    ~Xyana~"Listen," Declan starts, "I don't know what you were expecting me to say to you, Xyana.” He sighs, throwing his napkin on his plate. "Your wolf may forever not connect with ours, and that is such terrible news. And then there are other things you said."I gasp audibly at the impact his words have on me. When was the last time he called me by name? Has he ever called me by name? My stomach turned at the sound of my name from him, making me want to empty it's contents onto our beautifully decorated meal table.I should have kept in mind that these men are powerful. They must have thought Juno would come around eventually. Now I've told Declan that, in fact, Juno has a reason for behaving the way she does, and not just that, I'm also a murderer and a liar.Goddess! I've messed everything up. These men are feared amongst other werewolf packs and it's no doubt they can't tolerate someone like me as their mate. If they reject me and let me go, maybe I'll

    ~Xyana~A purr rumbles through Declan's chest as he breathes me in, making my legs wobble like it's about to turn jelly. “If Clifton wants to reject you, then that will be his loss. More for me!”I whimper as his declaration hits me right in my core. He bites my lobe gently before straightening back up and sweeping through my face with his gaze. His gaze moves from my lips to my eyes. The blue shade of his pupils is practically glowing as his demeanor changes into something predatory. "Gorgeous Mate. You're not planning on ever leaving me, right?" I nod instantly, feeling as if I were being put in a trance by his eyes that are still focused on me. He holds me hostage with his gaze for another few heartbeats before he draws me in and wraps his arms around me.He leans in and stops barely an inch away from me; his lips are right next to mine, and his breath is fanning my face. My breath hitches in my throat as his lips hover temptingly over mine, and I

    ~Xyana~I wake up the next morning feeling like I can take on the whole world. I'm rested, I'm calm, I'm happy. But not until I start feeling that familiar burn of hotness and coldness all at once. Clasping the sheets I’m entangled in, I take slow, steady breaths to calm myself and reduce the pain. But it doesn't work.'Is this still the same feeling from a couple of days ago or am I now going into heat?'With everything my body has been sexually subjected to these couple of days by my Mates, it's pretty obvious that I'll go into heat soon.My mind goes back to a statement Juno made about my mates priming me to go into heat so that they can possess me with their wolves and as I think about it, I find it so funny that Juno can make up scenarios just to push the narrative that someone isn't good when she wants to. But if they're really priming me to go into heat, then maybe they think it would be easier for me to take all of them during my heat and not t

    ~Xyana~"Tell me that what happened back there was just a silly joke." I place my back flat on the wall outside Gaston's office while eavesdropping on their conversation and listening to him yell at his brothers. "Are you nuts, Clifton? What the hell were you thinking?”The events of the last few minutes replay in my head. After screaming bloody hell, Declan and Dion rushed into the bedroom just in time to get me away from Clifton's Wolf.Gaston broke into the room in an instant. It felt like he knew I was in trouble. He relieved Declan and Dion from Clifton's angry Wolf while the brothers took me to the adjoining room and clothed me in one of Declan's elastic pants and free-size shirt.When we got back to the bedroom, Gaston and Clifton had turned the room upside down, with Gaston trying to calm Clifton down and Clifton's Wolf fighting to break free from his hold.Eventually, Clifton gave in. I watched his Iris go back to its usual grey, and Gaston turned t

    ~Xyana~I don't have a wristwatch on me, neither did I see a clock in Alura's room. So I don't know what time it is or how long we spent on the road.But by the time we got to a mighty and large mansion isolated at the top of a hill, it was already getting dark.I didn't get to see the roads we plied through because the cart was shut by both sides, and I had a mean-looking man seated opposite me; maybe he was told to stay there to make sure I didn't escape.The man points to a closed wooden door that suggests the entrance of the Mansion. "You go that way." He says as he points to the door.He retreated to the Cart and left with the other men that came with us. At this point, I'm confused. How do they expect me to go into a house I don't know the owner. There is no butler to let me in, even.Is it possible that the men think I can't utilize this opportunity to make a run for it? Even though I don't know who their King is, Alura's tears were enough to

    ~Xyana~A couple of days ago, I woke up in a plain field; naked, alone with an excruciating pain on my neck.I had no idea where I was or how I got there. The surroundings didn't look familiar. So I was certain I hadn't been here before. There was no sign of houses or people. I was all alone.It took me a while to finally locate a tiny hut several miles away from the plain field where I woke up. The hut was empty, but pieces of clothing hung on the wall. So I grabbed one and wrapped it around my naked body.I was hungry. After walking that much distance from the field, I felt like I was going to slump If I didn't eat something. But aside from the clothes, there was neither food nor anything else that could afford anyone comfort in the hut. Scared that I might die of hunger if I stayed back at the hut, I continued back to the lonely dusty path that led me to the hut. I must have slumped at a point because the next time I opened my eyes, I was

"We need to talk in private," I added, casting a side glance at the intruder in the room; Zegulf Landerman. Gaston nods and clears his throat. Then he directs his attention to Zegulf. "Alpha Zegulf," he calls. "I'll need you to excuse my brothers and me." Zegulf tsks, "You're not trying to get rid of me, are you?" Gaston shakes his head. "I will never do that." Suddenly, Gaston pauses and arches his brow. "Did you get the witch?" He asks. Zegulf clenches his teeth tight and shakes his head. "Do you still

    ~Clifton~ "Who are you?" Declan asks the man who just walked in. "Azzarus Fennom. Your late mother's only brother." He replies. Even though we are shocked to the bones because we had no idea Mama had any living family members, we can't help but agree that the man was possibly related to our late mother. He is a replica of our mother, so much so that he speaks like her even. It's like seeing our mother as a man. "What are you doing here? You never showed up for your sister. Not while she was alive, not when she died, never. So why are you here now?" I ask the man. "Clifton," Gaston calls me, but I shake my head. "He has a mouth, let him answer for himself, Alpha." "But we don't have time!" Gaston snaps. "Xyana doesn't have the time." Gaston's statement was enough to get me to finally ignore the man who calls himself my uncle. "So, what can you do, u.n.c.l.e?" Declan sneers empathetically. The man doesn't look hurt or fazed at our words. Instead, he walks straight to Xyana an

    ~Clifton~ "So, you're trying to tell us." I curve my index around, demonstrating my brothers and I. "You are trying to tell us that our mate got marked by a fuckin hybrid of an Alpha. Now she's going to die. And you!" I point at Gaston. "You! My brother, the man I respect and call my Alpha. You knew Zegulf Landerman marked my mate and you covered up for him? Fuckin Goddess! I've lost all the respect I have for you today, Gaston Howling!" Every single word that came out of my mouth at this point was from the depths of my soul. I'm hurting like I've never done before. I'm heartbroken. I can't believe I'm losing Xyana. Not after everything we've been through. I haven't been the best mate to her. But I love her, and she knows. I just– I was so scared that if I came too close to her, my feral wolf would hurt her. I was scared he would mark her. I was scared that I would hurt and disappoint my brothers. Also, I was scared of losing her if she found out what I had in me and decided s

    ~Gaston~ The tightness in my chest is unbearable. Is this how it truly feels to lose someone you love–. What? No. I don't think love is the right word. Isn't love too strong a word to use? Yet It feels like my world is crashing. I should have run to Crimson Pack and met Zegulf to have this conversation immediately after I found out. I've been on this investigation for the longest time. Speaking to a few allies and that had kept me on the phone most times. I got a vision about the prophecy of a Moon-made sometime last year and the night I saw Xyana, I knew that was my vision and the prophecy coming to pass. However, the prophecy wasn't clear, and I had very limited information on how to handle any of this. When I found out that she was mated to my brothers, I realized I needed more information than I currently have. Sadly, the information I sought didn't come as fast as I'd expected it to. "She can't die." Zegulf's shaky voice draws me out of my thoughts. "You could

    ~Zegulf~Gaston takes a few steps closer to me but stops halfway. "They planned to locate the two most powerful werewolf packs, eliminate their Alphas, and turn their successors against each other.""And why would they do that?""Because..." He pauses and looks around before speaking again. "I'm yet to get the full details. But I'm working on it, I promise you.""Don't promise me shit, I don't need your promises.""Zegulf-""You want me to believe that it took you several years to find this story of yours out?" I cut him short. "You are a Warlock, Howling."He feigns ignorance like he doesn't know what I'm talking about. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I know what you are, and I'm certain you know what I am. It's just disappointing that it took you years to figure something as simple as this out. Looking at it, I believe it's your area of expertise. You–"He cuts me off with an acidic smile. "Oh, forgive me that I'm not as hot-blooded as you are. Forgive me that I take my time to fi

    ~Zegulf~When I finally step into my Pack's waiting hall. Gaston Howling and his brother were seated, waiting for me. Once they see me approaching, Gaston flashes that notorious sneaky smile of his. "Zegulf Landerman." He calls, extending his hand for a handshake.I'll be damned if I take his hand. I ignore him and ask instead; "what brings you to my pack, Howling?"He shrugs, "you know what. But that's okay. If you don't mind, I'd like us to discuss the matter that brought me here privately."My men have circled the room and my Pack's security toughened up. If he is planning on creating a sort of distraction, in order to sneak his warriors in, it definitely won't work.I wouldn't have let him into my pack if courtesy doesn't demand it, sadly. "Follow me," I say to him, moving ahead with five of my men following us behind.If Gaston Howling wants to attack me, my men wouldn't hold a candle to him because he would easily rip them apart piece by fucki

    ~Gaston~Clifton will ruin everything if we don't get to him before he acts. I had Killian confirm that Clifton's Aston Martin wasn't packed in his car garage. That explains why he left with the car. And knowing Clifton well enough, his only focus would be to rescue Xyana. So he wouldn't want to mess his opportunity up.That simply means he will wait till nightfall before making a move. That gives me less than six hours to stop him from being the reason this silent war between Zegulf and me will erupt into a physically unstoppable one.Rhenat is seated from across the room with Dion and Declan standing at the entrance. They are staring at me expectantly, wanting to know what I'll do.I tip my head towards the door. "I'll leave you alone for now," I tell Rhenat.
