BEAST (ALEK) POVI took in the Goddess’ explanation and could see how Carissa and I would balance one another, but I was also scared. I didn’t want to corrupt my mate. I didn’t want to doom her to a fate of ever-after torment with her rejection from the Meadows.The Goddess, again, chuckled. ‘Then use it to fuel your determination. She is only denied entrance if you slip back into your bloodlust. She believes in you, so she approached me about the deal. She wanted you to have entrance into the Meadow, so she chose to wager on her own. I did not trick or trap her; she believed in you even after learning of your past. Does that not inspire you to prove her right? Only you and your actions from this day forth can deny her entrance. Do you wish to live eternity with her in my garden's peace and blissful light? If you do, use that to be a better male, leader, and mate every day. Don’t quit on her
BEAST (ALEK) POVI finally have her—my mate, my only light in the darkness that struggles to consume me with each passing day. I have learned to curb my desire for bloodlust and redirect it towards helping others.It hasn’t been easy for me. I spent a third of my life on earth killing innocent people, but that was before I found my light, before I found Alpha Thorin, before I saw the chaos I was creating. I don’t know how I managed to turn it all around, but having this stunning woman in my arms told me that I was on the right path.She was my reward from the Goddess herself, telling me to keep pushing, and redemption would be earned.I was haunted by the screams and cries of the innocence I stole from this earth, but since discovering my Carissa, I don’t have those nightmares. I noticed it when I started to watch over her at night. She kept them at bay, keeping me safe from
CARISSA POVLindy stared at me with an expression that could only be described as ‘are you kidding me, right now?’. Not the right time. Got it!“Okay, we'll talk about you and my father getting married after all this dark stuff. So, back to the story. After they had mur.dered me, they left me there. The next thing I knew, I was sitting up. I was surrounded by the three wolves of Dark Sister, guiding me to the forest to begin my vengeance request. For the first little while, I knew I wasn’t myself. I had basic motor functions, most likely because I was truly dead and gone. I had no heartbeat, no breath, no blood flowing through me. I had to kill and feed for that to start. The more I hunted prey, the more alive I began to feel—a price for the darkness within. I fed on rogues,” my eyes went to my father, Thorin, and then to Alek. They didn’t speak. “They were the bad one
CARISSA POVAs soon as the office cleared, he trapped me at my exit. His arms wrapped around me, and pulled me flush with his unbelievably hard body. I knew he felt the shiver tremble through me, because he followed in kind as a response.“You came back to me, my little rebel wolf,” his timbered voice whispered, and his hot breath caused goosebumps across my body.“I was given a choice, and I made it.” I answered, eagerly awaiting his response.“Y-you chose me?” He sounded almost unsure. There was something in his voice that broke my heart. He didn’t think he was deserving, and I understood now, given what I learned, but he deserved love just as much as I did. As much as anyone does.I turned my body around, not breaking the hold his arms had on me. I needed to face him to say what I needed to say.I’m glad I did. The look of disbelief was st
NARRATIVE POV“Gentlemen, I am not sure what the issue is when it clearly states in your lawbook that Alpha challenges are acceptable currency for territory. The territories' Alpha heirs must issue a challenge for it to be considered legal. Rogues are not permitted to do so in established territory. They can attack packs, but not challenge for ownership. As the heir to the Blackfoot Rogues and under section 3.12 of Rogue takeovers, if a challenge is openly presented and the established pack's Alpha loses his issued challenge, that pack legally becomes the sole property of the Alpha or heir of the rogue pack challenged. It is clear as day in your books. Is it cozy on your seats of hypocrisy, gentlemen? Do you ever get bored looking down upon all of us little people?"“Yes, however, the council must be informed prior.”“No. That is not de
NARRATIVE POVIt has been twenty-six hours since the Alpha challenge between Alpha Ryan Davis and Carissa Carter concluded, with Carissa being named the victor.The council’s relief army had arrived only a few hours ago and was wreaking havoc. They tried to banish the rogue pack from the territory, but were met with another challenge. One of which, Alpha Thorin, himself, was willing to fight. His daughter won this match fairly, with ample witnesses to verify it.This, of course, led the council down a different strategic path. They attempted to declare that she had not won the match since Carissa was in the hospital. No one advised the council that she lay there with no heartbeat. They needed to buy her time for the Goddess to renew her or reclaim her. If she were reclaimed, there were witness statements that Carissa declared the pack territory would be given to Alpha Beast. The bureaucrats of the Counci
