LOGINWe had them surrounded. Dani moved to the side and stood behind Axron, watching us carry out our business. Axton quickly whispered something in her ear, and she nodded."Now we have just a few questions to ask, and you're going to answer them," Axton said in a grave voice. “The faster you answer them, the earlier you leave. And you better not lie." “Do you think we're scared of your little toy?” one of the men asked, stepping forward."You might not be afraid of it," Axton said. “But I won't hesitate to use it on you if you step out of line. I mean that.”"Alright, alright,” the woman among them spoke and pushed the first man aside. "What do you want?”"Who are you guys?” Axton asked."What sort of question is that?” She counter-asked."Why did you place a bounty on the white wolf?” He asked."We want her,” she replied, laughing. "She's a legend, right? Imagine how precious she is. Now, is she here or what?”I snuck behind her and wrapped my arms around her neck. The others made to r
We arrived at the first gas station, which had a mini mart. We went in as if to get some stuff. While my eyes roamed around the goods on the shelf, Axton put a call through to Dani.“She's halfway here," Axton said as he approached me."Mmm,”” I hummed in return."Aries, we need to talk about this," he said.I sighed and turned to him. “What?" "Err, excuse me, do you plan on getting anything?" The salesman asked as he stood a few feet from us.Axton growled in frustration and grabbed a bag of chips, then walked towards the sales counter. “I'd like to check this out." I walked towards them with a bottle of water and pushed it towards the salesman.He looked from me to Axton and then back. “Should I add the charge…?" "Yes, yes, add it." Axton snapped.Axton stretched a bill to the salesman and handed me the water back. He led me out of the store and towards the car."Get in," he said, and I obeyed.He got in through the other side and faced me. “Aries…please forgive the stupid thing
As promised, Axton was standing in front of the cave, ready to take me to the city to carry out our plan. I got dressed in my clothes, but I left the hoodie behind. I took my time to brush my hair before finally stepping out.“Are you ready?" Axton asked, his eyes studying me.“Mmmhmm, you look good." I said, eyeing him.He blushed. “First time hearing that from you. Are you falling for me?" I rolled my eyes and began walking. “Forget I said that." He caught up with me, and we headed towards his car.“Have you found a human to do this with us?" I asked."Yes, I did, and you might know her." He replied, scratching the back of his head.I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned to him. “Don't tell me it's your neighbor…what was her name again?”He sucked his teeth sharply. "Her name is Dani." "Axton, we can't have her do this," I said.“She's the closest human I have," he whined. “Or else I'll have to look for a total stranger to do it. And they'll demand I pay them." “Fine, but is
“You were really authoritative there.” Axton said as we headed back to my cave.I chuckled. “That was the only way they would listen. They're alphas; they are listened to, not the other way round. So I knew I had to be a little extra with them." The meeting had ended in a neutral standpoint. Everyone was to go home and relay the message to their people and get their men ready to attack. While Ember Moon was to take extra training lessons, not just the usual training lessons to make one strong. But one to prepare you for war.We planned to meet like this in four days to share the progress on how everyone's preparing.“There's still something that's bothering me though," Axton said, staring into the distance.I glanced at him. “What's that?" He sucked in air sharply and paused. “How do we get information on the lycans? We're blind here, Aries. They might show up tomorrow or at night and take us by surprise. There has to be some way we can get information." That was true. But that was
I sat down and listened to their suggestions. Sometimes they argued, and sometimes jokes flew around, but I knew the laughter hung in their chests. Especially with Thane. The tension in his eyes was so obvious I doubted if I was the only one that saw it. From time to time he would direct glances at me to see me watching him. But I wasn't interested in bringing that topic up. I wanted the main focus of today's meeting to be about the preparations and nothing else.“So I've really been curious to ask, and I don't know if it's appropriate…” Dominic said, scratching his beard. "How...how did you and Axton know each other? Because his pack is like on the other side of Great Falls, and well…you're here. I'm just curious." I shifted my gaze from Dominic to Axton; his eyes were on me, and I could understand the question they posed. Then I looked at Thane; he seemed so uncomfortable. Axel was drumming his fingers on his glass cup. “I'm neither here nor there, at least not with the way you se
If I were to drop a pin right now, I bet it would make a deafening sound when it drops.The hall was deathly silent, save for the noises that drifted in from time to time. This time their eyes looked back at me with that of confusion and doubt, like I was blabbering.I removed my palms that I had placed on the top of the table and began walking up and down.“A few months ago…” I began. “I was attacked by four lycans who were out in search of me with the aim of…kidnapping me. Of course I took them down with the aid of my very good friend, Axton.”I smiled at Axton, and he returned it, not bothering to look at the others who had shifted their attention to him. I coughed to bring their attention back to me and continued.“I left their bodies in the woods where we fought because I felt like I should, but when I returned to check a few days later… they were gone.” I paused to look from one face to another. "I wasn't really bothered about that, so I moved on. And then…my space was invaded,
