" Alessia, take a seat and calm down. " For the umpteenth time in an hour, Zelda said. It had been an hour since Kane and Marcus had left, but Alessia still couldn't seem to get her mind off Marcus being in danger, despite her assurances that he would be fine. "At the very least, consider the child you're carrying; it doesn't need the stress you're causing it. Why don't you take a seat for a moment while I go get you some orange juice?"Alessia's mind was filled with worries of what could be happening where Marcus was and as a result, she couldn't stop herself from thinking too hard. " What if something happens to him? I have seen rogues before and they scare the shit out of me. "" Can you relax now? I doubt that he would be outnumbered since Kane's helping him. " Zelda said, walking towards the kitchen as Alessia followed behind her. " I think you're right. " She muttered as she leaned on the counter." Do you still want a glass of orange juice? "She shook her head. " No, I would
Marcus' paws slamming against the ground were more menacing and thundering than anything else. Each of his thrusts forward was incredibly powerful, and his black eye erupted in rage. His mission was to track out Alessia and kill everybody who had harmed or touched her. The various scents that were beginning to disgustingly whip at his nose indicated that his ambitions were near to being realised. With nearly two hundred wolves thundering behind him, he continued fleeing through the woods.With so many scents, catching a whiff of his mate was becoming increasingly difficult. He detected the scents of both hunters and rogues, implying that some of them are likely to be in the vicinity of their hideout.Marcus increased his speed, running as quickly as he could, taking a long smell of every single scent he could find in the hopes of identifying one in particular, which he did, and it was the scent of his mate. It didn't take him long to see it was different from the others, and the thoug
In the spur of the moment, Kane hurriedly shoved himself in the direction of Alessia as the bullet stabbed into his flesh, causing the wolfsbane to stream through his veins. Although the wolfsbane didn't have the same effect on him as it did on Marcus, the toxin was still terrible and deadly, and it made him feel slightly weak. Marcus let out a growl as the wolfsbane burned through his body, and the three rogues who came with Louisa rushed towards him and hooked their teeth into Marcus's skin, drawing lines and lines of blood through the deeply pierce wounds. Marcus's pure determination was only able to maintain him alive for so long without anybody present to stem the flow of blood, and the terrible part was that if he moved an inch while trying to defend himself, he'd just make things worse. Louisa, on the other hand, grimaced as her glance shifted to his direction. " Stop to it!" She screamed, but no one heard her, and she was on her way to help Marcus when Tristan shot her. " I
" It's an honour to have you visit here Luna, " Penelope bowed low in front of Alessia immediately she walked in. " Don't be too formal, Penelope. " Alessia chuckled. " We… " She was interrupted as a petite girl ran towards them, panting and sweating on the forehead. " Lady Penelope! Alexa! Alexa is about to give birth! " She exclaimed, her eyes bulging. " I'm coming, " She stated. " I'm coming with you. " Alessia announced before she could leave and Penelope turned to look at her, confusion visible on her face. " Of course, you can, My Luna. " The expression on Penelope's face changed to that of excitement. " Alexa would be honoured to have you by her side. " Alessia was in a good mood when she exited the delivery room an hour later. She could sense the women's camaraderie. It was genuine, not forced, and it was given freely. She had been the Luna of the Blood Water's pack for three years since her marriage to Marcus, and it was her responsibility to protect the pack emotional
Somewhere in the woods in Nevada….Five white wolves silently slunk through the woods moving so smoothly that it was as if they were not there but one of them was injured and blood dripped on the ground as they ran, steadily but fast. The leader was guarding the others when the hunters attacked them. They were able to subdue and scare most of them but in the process some of them were killed and injured and the remaining ran for the prevention of being shot by a silver bullet.Not far behind, a man followed their trail behind as he occasionally stared at the ground for any sign of wolf claws. His eyes caught the sight of bloodstains on the ground and a sinister smile came to his lips.In his left hand, he carried a rifle with a wooden handle w
Alpha Marcus rushed to Gunnar's side, but as soon as he got there he could smell the silver that was coming from his open wound, which could explain why he wasn't healing. Pack members were desperately trying to stop the bleeding, but they were unsuccessful and in the end Gunnar told them to stop. He knew there was no use in trying because of the silver poisoning his body. Alpha Marcus stepped forward and took hold of Gunnar's hand, hoping to ease his pain slightly, but in the end Gunnar had lost so much blood that he died in his Alpha's arms.The death of Gunnar shook almost everyone in the pack, as he was almost everyone's friend. Especially Marcus because he had just lost some of his pack members all because of those heartless humans, he had sworn to avenge Gunnar's death and the other pack members who died in the process.The pac
The following day.Alessia sat up quickly from the bed. Her eyelids were still tired, but she had to get ready for her first day at her new job. She yawned loudly as she got out of bed and ran her fingers through her unkempt hair. She grumbled since she was still tired but needed to get dressed. Her eyes widened in surprise as she examined the wall clock: it was 8:30 a.m and she was supposed to resume work at 9:00 a.m.She went to an interview in Walter's Enterprise last week and fortunately for her, she was hired as the office interior designer and her duty was to make sure the offices had comfortable and healthy furniture. She was sure going to love her new job.She dashed to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and taking a bath. How did she manage to sleep that m
Alessia looked at some of the paintings and flooring samples she found in her folder as she observed the offices, looking for what furniture or designs would fit in perfectly in them, and also measuring the size of tables and also the ventilation of each office as she planned everything out on her tablet.People looked at her and although they knew she was a professional, they were also mesmerised by her beauty.Alessia asked her secretary to arrange a meeting with the bosses for her as she had to show them the plan and let them go through it and state their opinions of her designs. She's really starting to like her new job but her mind often drifts to that man. Her secretary arranged the meeting into which the bosses agreed to, so they were now seated in the boardroom as all eyes focused on Alessia who stood at the front of the whole room, her eyes drifted to the two empty seats, one at the ending of the table which seems to be the chair of the CEO and another one beside the CEOs ch
