~Xyana~ While on our way home, I texted the Alpha and my mates, asking if I was needed at home for any reason. Gaston, Dion, and Declan replied that I wasn't. But I got no reply from Clifton. I kept wondering why Gideon would ask that I return to the pack house in an instant. Mona has no clue, neither do I. But when I get to the pack house, everywhere is calm as usual. The guards are all in position. I even had to ask one of them if there was a problem around the pack, and he replied there was no problem at all. Mona isn't convinced, so she insists on seeing me off to my room. Surprisingly, my room is all fixed when we arrive. The bedframe and other ruined furniture have been replaced. New paintings, decorative vases, and flowers have been put up too. It doesn't look explicitly like the room I'm now used to, but it looks great nonetheless. I check my walk-in closet, the entrance door has been fixed, and all my outfits are carefully sorted and arranged. "That was quick," I tell

Xyana~ I stare at my neck one more time. Then I trace the hook of the necklace, unhooked it and dropped it on the empty makeup receiver I found beside the mirror before stepping away from the mirror. Everything in me tells me the necklace and symbol on my wrist has nothing to do with Declan or Dion. Then who? I have no idea. I don't want Adina to start looking at me strangely. She must have noticed that the wound on my wrist is now looking completely healed. But she doesn't say a word about it. And I don't talk about it either. Marching over to my bed, I grab the mug and sit back down. Adina is standing beside me as usual, waiting for the cup. I've fought her way too much about her usually waiting on me. But I've never won any of the fights. So, I've learned to pick my battles wisely. Now, I don't argue, I just let her stand there if it makes her happy. "I hope you like the tea ma'am?" Adina asked, as usual. I shrug, "I think I've gotten used to the horrible smell and sweet ta

~Xyana~ I regret my question as his expression morphs into a sly one. A grin grows on his lips, and he grabs my jaw, pulling me close. I gasp as I am ripped from the door frame and I claw onto Clifton's arm, forcing myself to keep my defiant look towards him. "It would be a sight to have you on your knees begging. I'd die to see you beg, Baby." My nails sink into his skin as he leans closer, his husky whisper making a shiver run down my spine. "I would fucking love to see you on your knees for me. Goddess!" He exclaims and I watch his Adams apples in work as he swallows hard. "Let me go!" I say, making him chuckle. Shaking his head, he sweeps his lips over mine, a mild quick touch. But the friction of the touch makes me shudder pleasantly. "Be careful of the things you celebrate about, Baby. You're not special because my wolf speaks to you. What does he tell you anyway? That I'm in love with you?" "Amongst other things." I manage to let out, still maintaining my defiant look

~Xyana~ The next couple of days moved painfully slowly. Clifton was nowhere to be found. Not his room, not anywhere around the park house that I know of. But each time I ask Gaston, he tells me he's doing great and would want to be left alone for the time being. I suffered his disappearance more because I couldn't get the image of a half-shifted crying Clifton off my mind. I finally believed Gaston when he told me Clifton wasn't within the pack house because I wasn't feeling any of his emotions. It's as if he is thousands of miles away from me. I can't reach him, and I can't hear his voice either because he neither takes my calls nor does he reply to my numerous messages. It's been a crazy couple of days, really. Dion confirmed that he didn't give me the necklace with the moon symbol. Same as Declan and the Alpha, Gaston. I asked them indirectly and their reply made me know they had no single idea. I made up my mind to ask Mona after the Alpha and his brothers confirmed that t

~Xyana~ A few minutes into our journey, my heartbeat was all over the place. I concentrate on breathing deeply. I haven't been to this pack in months. It feels painfully surreal. The ride is uneventful, the road is smooth and once we pass Gurreo-Valley border, my breath hitches. A few more minutes into the ride, familiarity slowly starts creeping in. I suddenly feel like a ghost, as if the old me died and left this scared shell in her place. Echoes of memories of Black-haw pack come racing through my mind. It is a place where I used to hang out with my friends and have fun, a place where I pushed through the pain of being an orphan and moving forward in life, one determined step at a time. Now I'm barely able to make myself move forward. At least I'm certain if I were walking down with both legs, I wouldn't be able to cross Gurreo-Valley pack boundary. My fingers wind into Dion's own. I keep my gaze forward on the road and try my best to keep from letting my own emotions overwh

~Xyana~ "You are still fat, but at least you've cleaned up nicely," Kedar tells me. I can't help but wonder why I thought I was going to get an apology from this inhumane prick. 'Xyana, let's get out of here.' Juno grunts in my head. 'Mate is waiting for us.' 'Mate? Did Juno just refer to Dion as our mate? Dear goddess, I'm so grateful that I'm alive to witness this day.' "I think there's an invisible moth, or should I say, flu, in your pack. Nobody here seems like they can afford three square meals a day. And that's not their fault. It is so because what they have is a leader who prefers to stick his penis inside every available hole than sit down, brainstorm, and find ways to make his pack better just like responsible Alphas from other Packs." Kedar chuckles, "maybe I would have let you be with me if I knew you were this mouthy." He scratches his head. "But I don't regret my decision." He shrugs. "Wash a pig, dress a pig, a pig remains a pig." The blow hit below the belt. I f

~Dion~ Gaston had kept repeating that Kedar might decide not to let Xyana go. I didn't see why he wouldn't, so I didn't take his worries to heart until now. It all happened too quickly. I shouldn't have let her spend even a second with that fool called Kedar. The explosion was unexpected, but I doubt it was meant to do any reasonable damage. That is why I quickly started looking for Xyana as immediately as I could, watching Kedar run off and refusing to go after him. It wasn't until Gideon mind-linked me that he had her that I tried to find Kedar. But unfortunately, he was already out of the park. Some of his hungry-looking soldiers were already trying to fight our men, and when I saw how they were being dealt with, I had to stop them from fighting the poor soldiers whom their scared Alpha left to their deaths. As old and worn out as Salzar Obeden was, I saw him with a sword defending his pack against my men. But his pissy grandson ran. 'wonders!' More of our men are trooping

~Gaston~ I can't believe what I feel when I touch Xyana. It's as if she is empty; I can't even find the right words to express what I feel. I quickly dropped her arm and told my brothers what I thought. "I think she's... dead." Clifton stares at me laughing like he's raving mad. "That can't be possible." He insists. "Clifton," I call him. "What do you feel when you touch her?" I ask, waiting to hear his reply. He draws a big breath and pats his hair to the side with his fingers. "Hollow." He replies and I nod. "That's exactly what I feel too," I murmur, confused. "Maybe we should take her to Rhenat, like Dion suggested." Rhenat the witch can go all in, she dabbles with dark magic and every other aspect of sorcery available to her. And right now, we're at our wit's end. She's the only one who can help us with a solution. Clif sinks his bottom on the floor, looking dejected and completely wrecked. Then suddenly, he rushes at Dion. He pounces on him, kicking and screaming at hi

~Xyana~ I don't get to experience any other disruption for the rest of the night. And when I fell asleep, it was peaceful. So peaceful that Gretchen had to be the one to wake me up the next morning. "The King is waiting for you at the breakfast table." She announces when I finally push my eyes open. She points to the closet in the room, "I had a few clothes brought in for you this morning. Please choose an outfit from the new ones in the wardrobe. The King adores breakfast, and he doesn't condone dressing shabbily to have one." I nod. When I scanned my room with my eyes, the plates from last night had been cleared out. The floor is sparkly clean too. It took everything in me to get back into that bathroom. Instead of bathing as I would love to, I splashed water across my body and rushed back into the bedroom to dress up for breakfast with the 'King of hell'. The dresses Gretchen got for me were sophisticated. The type of outfits I had back home at Gurreo-Valley. 'Oh Godde

~Xyana~ The sensations I feel make me sweaty as the sudden slight tickle between my thighs causes my body to jolt. I look around reflexively in the bathtub as I assume there must be some sort of worm or an insect in the bathtub. But nothing is under water. Although I spotted nothing in the tub, I still felt unsettled, and there was the fright of the unknown. So I hop out of the bathtub chaotically, stumbling and slipping on the floor in the process. My anxious eyes quickly scanned through the entire bathroom. And I watch something horrific happen. I watch as the water in the bathtub rises up in the air like a rough water wave and gradually morphs into a round ball-like appearance. My naked, shaky body remains frozen on the floor as my terrified gaze keeps staring at the water, which twirls around continuously to form a ball, and once it stops, it rushes at me. It is at that moment that I finally shoot up from the floor. The water lunges towards me but I manage to tilt toward

~Xyana~"Yes, Miss?" The housekeeper responds in a calm tone as if she is unable to see the shadow behind me. "Is there something I can help you with?" My eyebrows furrow at her question, which feels totally out of place at that moment. Can't she see the huge creature behind me? I reached for her arm with my trembling hand and jerked her a bit. "Don't you see that shadow?""What shadow are you speaking of, Ma'am?"My Goddess, was I imagining things? Just like that, I looked back to confirm and I saw nothing. The housekeeper smiles at me. "You must be very exhausted, Miss. I went to your room, but you were not there. I prepared a bath for you. The bathroom door is the door at the left part of your room. The housekeeper informs me with a smile plastered across her face as she acts like there is no creature within the mansion. But I know what I saw and it is not just all in my head. "I will bring in some food for you too. Have as much rest as y

~Xyana~The smell of Jasmine grows thicker and heavier in the air even when it is clear that there is absolutely no explanation for its origin in the room.Even in my subconscious state, my forehead creases with confusion, as I'm not understanding what is happening around me. I feel a tickle on my forehead, and I quickly brush it off, running my fingers through my hair in case the tickle was from a stray hair. Next, what feels like a hand caresses around my ankle, moving down quickly to the base of my foot which gives me a tickle. For some reason, the feeling made me more sleepy and rooted to the bed. It feels like I'm in a dream and somebody is sucking my energy.My mind seem to be awake, while the rest of my body is asleep. 'Absolutely abnormal.' I haven't experienced anything like this before to be able to comprehend how to react or wake up properly. Panic rises in my heart. I try to open my eyes and move my arms to at least check fo

~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

This chapter and the coming chapters will move the story forward to Xyana's experience, and they will shed more light on her relationship with Clifton. Please read through the next chapters with open mind. I promise it will all come together at the end. Once again, thank you for supporting this book. Your support makes me happy and keeps me going. Don't forget to drop a review when you can. x❣️ ~~ ~Clifton~ "I don't understand any of this. Alpha," I call my brother. "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

~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
