Marcus’s POV

“Alpha,”

A sharp knock pulled me from the shallow sleep I had slipped into. My eyes quickly opened, the heavy curtains still drowning the room in darkness, though faint lights still found their way into the room.

I groaned, pressing the heel of my hand against my forehead. My thoughts had been restless all night, haunting memories circling, refusing to let me rest.

“Alpha,” a timid voice broke the silence. “Your bath is ready.”

The maid.

Her silhouette lingered in the doorway, head bowed, hands clasped nervously in front of her apron. The sight of her was enough to snap the frayed cord of patience inside me.

“Leave, I'm not ready,” I growled, my voice harsher than I intended.

She flinched, her body shrinking back instantly. I watched her scramble away, nearly tripping over her own feet in her rush to escape the weight of my anger.

The door shut softly, leaving me alone again in the stillness of my chambers.

But not for long.

Another knock came. The door opened before I

    The darkness was everywhere, pressing against me from all sides. I was lost, completely and utterly lost, stumbling through the woods on bare feet that were already numb from the cold and pain. The air was so cold and what I had on could barely protect me from the cold. Every instinct I possessed was screaming at me to turn around, to run as fast as my legs could carry me back to safety, but somehow I couldn't stop moving forward. It was as if invisible threads were wrapped around my limbs, tugging me deeper into the forest against my will.My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. I bent down to remove the grass around my leg when I suddenly felt another presence in front of me, confirming my feeling with the shadow before me I looked up. That's when I saw her, an old woman stood several yards ahead of me, her silhouette barely visible through the mist that curled and twisted between the trees. Her face was completely hidden beneath a

    MARCUSThe first light of day break crept through my window as I stirred awake, I forgot again to bring the curtains down. I stood up from my bed tired and weak, I hardly slept last night, only the weak scent of my mate kept me sane. I could already feel the heaviness of the day's task pressing down on me. Today, I'd meet the witch who might be able to find Emily. My warriors and I would meet silently at the park's boundaries, meeting with a singular goal: to find my mate and their Luna.As we trekked up the mountain, each step seemed to echo the growing distance between my lost mate and me.

  • Rejected by the Alpha king    CHAPTER EIGHT: Abducted Witchy wolf

    EMILY As I slowly regained consciousness, the darkness of the room enveloped me, with only one light reflecting from the little window. I looked around trying to remember all that happened.My head throbbed with pain, and I felt disoriented. Panic washed over me as I tried to move, only to realize that I was tightly bound to a chair. In less than a minute, a series of events flashed in my head causing the pain in my head to expand. The rough ropes dug into my skin, causing discomfort and making it hard to breathe. With the head pain I only wished to place my hand on my head but I couldn't. I cried out for help, the sound echoing in the eerie silence of the room. I know no one can help me, I've been kidnapped for no reason and the only reason I could think of is if my Alpha had sent people to kidnap me, I knew he was that cruel but I couldn't think of any reason why he would want me back. My mate also won't send people to kidnap me after he rejected me and sent me out of his pack.

Panic began to creep into my heart as I realized that not only could I not reach the warrior, but I couldn't feel our connection either. Something was wrong, and I couldn't shake the feeling that my mate and the warrior were in trouble.My wolf paced restlessly within me, its voice echoing with accusations. This was all my fault, it claimed. If only I hadn't rejected her, she wouldn't be in danger. Anger welled up within me, and in a fit of frustration, I shut my wolf out, blocking its presence from my mind.What will I tell the pack members if something happens to the warrior?For two days now, I couldn’t reach him. Just as I was trying to regain control of my emotions and think of a way out and how to trace him, Alexander walked into my study shouting. “Why are you ignoring my calls and messages? “ He said as he placed his hand on
