Ace drove through the small towns towards the island. Driving a car was not a new experience for him but Doyen continued to get antsy and now that the wolf was in his entire form, the anxiety seemed to be doubling up.. The wolf was just not used to sitting in a car and not travelling on foot. But Indiva would be expecting them to come through the forests and not drive. After all wolves were known to look down upon such technology. Another reason to do this was the new information they had gleaned from the three alphas who had visited them previously and offered them passage. So, to sneak into the forests of Indiviana, as the small island was called, they would have to slip under the radar and not let anyone know the route they were going to use. Let Indiva think that they could come from Leo's lands or from water via the other alpha's territory or from the sky! The so called Goddess had spent all her powers and was now on equal footing with them to have a fair battle. There was also
Instead of spending the night on the road as they had previously planned, Ace and Crystal booked themselves into a hotel. It was going to be their last night together for once they started to secure allies outside the wolf packs, Indiva would definitely get wind of it from her spies. As they had interacted with a few other weres in the small cafe, they had understood the network of spies among the foxes was as well established as those of Ace’s own wolves which was a feat of its own.Once Indiva knew, she of course would direct her demons towards them and then as per the original plan, Ace would…Ace shook his head. No. He needed to focus. Andn to not think of all the things that could happen. Doyen’s restlessness was affecting him in the worst possible way.Just then Crystal walked out of the bathroom dressed in an excuse of a dress. Staring at her,Ace felt his heart stutter like always. She seemed to be getting more and more beautiful and alluring by the day. The staples of bulge h
The lone black wolf trudged through the forest in search of water. It had been seven days since it had been travelling and soon, he would reach his destination. He yearned to mind link with his mate and chat with her but with the distance, they were at, his energy would be draining and that would only hinder their goal. He had expected Indiva to set up many traps in these forests because it was one that Leo usually used to travel to Indiviana. So she was aware that Doyen knew of the route but instead once again the course had been devoid of all that. He wondered if she had instead poisoned the water or maybe the soil and food but everything he sniffed smelled normal. As he neared the small stream, however, he felt another presence. Whirling around Doyen observed his surroundings, looking for the person or animal making the rustling sound that he had just heard. It happened again and this time, Doyen narrowed his eyes as a young woman jumped out of the bushes with a large stick in her
Sitting around the large table in the cafe that now seemed to have become their new strategy room. Apart from foxes and werecats, Crystal had now successfully allied with werebears. Considered to be the most notorious and difficult to get along with, the mere feat of getting the Bear King to meet them had earned Crystal an even more reputation. At present they were discussing ways of breaking into Indiviana and getting rid of the demon guards that prevented people from entering and leaving. The werecat that presently was sitting in front of her was smiling at her in amusement. "You really are something, Luna Crystal! This plan that you have created is brilliant because of its mere simplicity. But, I do have a question. How do you know all this?""What all this are we talking about?"The werecat snorted again, mumbling something and spoke," The way to handle the guards. Aren't you too young to know all this?""I am. But I have been wanting my revenge since I was eight. And while I did
Inside the confines of Ace's mind, Doyen paced restlessly! It was his fault! He should not have let Ace come forth when he saw the human woman! How many times had he seen Leo use different ways to seduce and tantalize his victims and make them do his bidding? Infinity times! And having seen all that, Doyen had assumed that he would be able to recognize such a 'beauty' trap from a mile away! And despite this, he had let Ace answer the siren's call. Yes, now he knew that Aenora was indeed a siren. If only he had known when he had still been in his wolf form. While Aenora was powerful, sirens could not have much effect on wolves. Maybe confuse them a bit. And knowing this, he had ended up confused and surrendered control to Ace. Dam* it! Ace was human! Of course, he would surrender to a siren's call. Normal humans could not fight off a siren's call unless their will was too strong! And he had actually thought Ace was strong but the man had crumbled like a house of cards! Not even tryin
Crystal woke up to concerned faces staring down at her. Kai slowly handed her the glass of water and answered her unasked question," You spiked a fever and suddenly went unconscious. Everyone was worried. We had the physicians look at you but no one knew what happened." Sipping her water, Crystal stared at the dark door to the side. She had been caught in a long nightmare. And even now that she had come out of it, she felt uneasy as if she was still stuck there. She was sure that if she tried to speak now, she would be too sick to even say a word. Inhaling and exhaling softly, she tried to erase the remnants of the nightmare that clung to her and slowly her hand went to her neck. Feeling the canine marks there, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her dream that their marks had faded was just that--- a dream. A horrible one but not reality. Ace would never betray her. And never reject her thus causing their marks to fade. Maybe she could not mind linking to him because he was injured. An
"Everything is in place, Luna Crystal. We just need to signal the others and we will proceed. Have you been able to get in touch with the alpha?"Crystal shook her head as she rubbed her temple. The nightmares were getting worse and worse and each time the burning sensation on her bite made her want to tear her skin out. What was her mate being subjected to and would he be able to signal the or would they have to adopt plan B based on the assumption that Ace was no longer able to be with them?Seeing her distracted and troubled, Kai sighed. He knew she was worried about Ace. They all were. While all of them had the utmost faith in their Alpha, he was weak and had only just returned from death. And now he had to be the one who had to go alone again. Unfortunately, they might still lose him... something that he had already ordered him, Matt and Healer Juan to be prepared for."Crystal, we can at most lay low for the next two days. After that, we will lose the little element of surprise
It was later in the day when Juan finally contacted her again. "I think I have all the information about sirens." "Tell me." "As the lore suggests, they are known to attract humans and keep them as their slaves or pets. While they are very beautiful and their pheromones addictive, sirens have too much of vanity. There are two types of sirens. The born ones are able to lure humans but only if the soul of the human is inherently steeped in lust. And this means any lust. Thus the old talks about sailors with wanderlust disappearing. More like they had been kidnapped to be the siren's slave. The second type of siren is the one that has been created by evil magic and innocent sacrifices to seduce someone. Like the magic that created them, they are powerful and hold a special lure over humans. Neither the birth siren nor created sirens have any effect on the shifters. But, their humans have been known to fall prey to them in the past. There are not many created sirens in the world for t
