~Cain~I was undeterred, I signaled at the warriors to secure the area. I turned back to the captive rogue, his eyes narrowing.I moved closer to him and whispered in his ears, “Your defiance will only lead to more suffering. Now, tell me why you're here.”The rogue leader hesitated, but the imminent threat of the pack warriors did not change anything. He looks loyal to whoever his master might be.“Secure them. Take the rogue leader and the others to the underground cells. We need answers.” I said.My voice cut through the aftermath of the battle as I issued the command to the warriors. The pack warriors, efficient and disciplined, swiftly subdued the rogues and led them towards the hidden entrance of the underground cells.“Move it, rogue!” the warrior growled. The captive rogues, glowering and defiant, were guided through the concealed passage leading to the subterranean cells. The air in the underground chamber was heavy with an oppressive silence, broken only by the echoes of dis
~Cain~My eyes were burning with an intense rage, the struggle for information pushing me to the brink. I stared at the rogue coldly and he smirked. I held his limbs and deep the hot iron inside, he growled once again and felt pain all over his body. He moved away from me. I pulled him closer and applied more wolfsbane and silver to the wound.I withdrew and released him and he grasped for breath, he held his limbs and cried. I said , “We're not getting anywhere like this.”The red glow fading from my eyes as I took a step back. The captive rogue, gasping for air, eyed me curiously and smirked. And he asked, “What now, Alpha? Giving up?”I smiled at him darkly and signaled to one of the warriors outside the cell to temporarily release the restraints on his hands and legs. I moved closer to him, and muttered softly, “You may not talk, but actions have consequences. You'll remain here until you decide to cooperate.”With that, I addressed the warrior, “Keep a close eye on him. I want
Cain~ I awoke to the gentle embrace of dawn, the first rays of sunlight weaving through the curtains of the room. As I sat up, a furrowed brow revealed the thoughts that occupied my mind. I was mindful of the slumbering world around me, I glanced at Mandy beside me, her form peaceful in the morning light. A momentary tenderness softened my features as I leaned down and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead. I whispered, "Hope you slept well.” With a last gazed at her, I silently slipped away, leaving Mandy to the embrace of dreams. I was about to have some free from the fridge in my room but was interrupted by the warrior who mindlinked me. “Alpha Cain, we have urgent news. Last night, there was an intruder attempting to break into the underground cells.” I received the message and immediately left the beer and focused my attention on the matter at hand. I furrowed my brows and asked, “Did you catch the intruder? Can you describe him?” He paused and said, “Unfortunately
~Mandy~As I vanished inside the forest, I quietly entered the pack gate. I saw the warriors were having discussions with each other. I walked past them secretly and cautiously crept into the room. The air was thick with a scent of secrecy as I approached the bed where Cain slept. A mischievous glint gleamed in my eyes as I slid under the covers.Cain stirred in his sleep, half-aware and asked, "What's…?” I quickly whispered, feigning ignorance, "Shh, go back to sleep.”I endured, I didn't disturb his rest, I nestled beside him, and I could feel the warmth of his breath. As the same approaches, Cain is already up and was about to get ready for his activity.He was about to get a drink from the fridge but was stopped by something. I quickly glanced at him and noticed he was replying to one of the warriors through the mind link.I think the news about my operation last night has reached him, he had his bath, dressed up and left for his office.Immediately he went out of the room, I had
~Cain~Lucas and I went to the underground cell where the warriors were gathered to address them on how to tighten the security.“After the recent incident, it's crucial that we fortify the security of this area. We cannot afford any more breaches.” I announced and they all nodded.The head warrior asked, “What measures do you suggest, Alpha Cain?” “Increase the number of guards stationed around the cell. We need extra eyes and ears, especially during the night.”“Install additional surveillance spells, and make sure the wards are at the strongest,” I added, and he asked again, “What about the entrances?”I moved closer to them and said firmly, “Seal any potential entry points. Strengthen the barriers. We can't underestimate the potential threats.”I continued to provide detailed instructions to the warriors, and when I was done, Lucas, the beta, also addressed them.After I was done with the meeting with the warriors, I left the underground cell and headed back to the pack. As I ent
~Mandy~The next day, I groggily opened my eyes, pulled the duvet away from my face, and yawned. I glanced at the person beside me and confusion swept over me. I gulped hard as I looked closely at the stranger.It was the guy from last night. The events from last night flooded back to my mind, I was drunk, and didn't know anything I was doing. I glanced at my below and felt timid there. I was ashamed and regretted coming to the bar house in the first place. I cautiously moved out of the bed, grabbed my stuff, wore my clothes and tiptoed towards the door, making sure I didn't wake him up.I opened the door and exited the room. I walked out of the bar house and went straight to the car park. I entered the car and started the engine. I heaved a sigh before starting my journey.I drove back to the pack house. I drove in and walked towards the door. I wished Cain Was still asleep. I muttered to myself, “where would I tell him I went to?”I bumped into an omega who was carrying a tray of p
~Mandy~“What's going on? You seem a bit frantic.” Cain entered the room, and approached me. I shook my head, and mittered, “Oh, nothing, Cain. Just misplaced something, no big deal.” he raised his eyebrows, and nodded.He walked to the wardrobe and went to grab his gym clothes. He mumbled softly, If you need help finding something, let me know. I'll be in the gym.” I forced a smile, as I watched Cain left the room.I resumed searching for the tracker, but I couldn't still find it. I opened and closed the drawers, but there was still no sight of this device. I clenched my fists and bit my lower lips. Hours passed and my desperation grew more as the weight of my actions bore down on me. I finally gave up on the search, I sank into the bed as I tried to steady my racing thoughts. Cain entered the room, I think he forgot something.He sensed my worthiness, and asked, “Still can't find it?”I forced a smile and said in a casual tone, “ It's Nothing important, Cain. Just a misplaced item.”
~Cain~I left the pack house and went to the gym. I needed to get myself together, I don't know why Mandy is also acting somehow these days. She seemed frustrated and annoyed but she decided not to share the problem with me.I started my morning workout and began with the treadmill when Samantha’s picture greased my mind. I couldn't get her off my head. Since the day I rejected her, my wolf has been angry and pained, he has even refused to talk to me.I blamed myself for rejecting our mate but she's an omega, and she's weak. She's not fit for my luna. Lucas entered the gym and swirled me out of my thoughts. He asked, “Is everything alright?” I sighed and got off the treadmill. I walked closer to him and said, “Her picture keeps greasing my mind. I don’t think I can ever get her off my mind.”“Samantha?” he asked and I nodded. “Yeah, I can't shake the feeling that I messed up big time.” He patted my back and muttered, “You rejected her, Cain. It's not an easy thing to forget. Mate bond
