As the creature drew closer, I raised a fist at it, throwing it skillfully in its direction. But one thing I noticed about the creature was the fact that it wasn't moved by any of the skills I showcased.I finally gave up and trudged backward towards the door, although gently so that it wouldn't easily find out that I was trying to escape.What was on my mind as I headed towards the door was to push it vehemently and break out of the room before the creature probably succeeded in getting back at me.But I was amazed beyond doubt when after making it to the door, I pushed it slightly and it instantly went open.I dashed out of the room with the speed of light, making sure I locked the door behind me.At this point, darkness had flooded the whole building, making it almost difficult for me to navigate my way out.I bumped into Jack as I fled from the room. "You escaped! I almost thought you were going to die in there." Jack confessed as he kept feeling my bruises with his palm.His hand
KILLIAN'S POVScarlett's wolf emerged into a full-blown obstruction, and I marveled at the sight of it. This just confirmed to me that she was indeed Alpha because no omega would find it so easy to manage her wolf in that manner.I watched her from afar as she squatted slightly, her lips rolling as she exchanged words with her wolf.I have not seen any wolf as big as that, more reason why I was finding it difficult to draw any closer to her.All of a sudden, she turned her gaze at me. I hurriedly buried my head behind the slightly opened door in a bid to escape her gaze, but she was a bit fast, if not faster than me."That's not necessary, Alpha Killian." She teased in a weird tone, licking up her middle finger in a way that sent shivers down my spine. "Come on in." She muffled, kissing up her thighs.I shook at her order at first as I was unsure what she had in mind. But she persisted, complimenting me ceaselessly.I finally gave in to her suggestion and went to join her in the chamb
"Scarlet, I... I value your friendship. Your honesty means a great deal to me, and I hope we can move past this... awkward situation," I spoke softly, a sense of regret tingeing my words.She nodded, a sad smile playing on her lips. "Thank you, Alpha. I understand. Our friendship means more to me than anything else," she said, her voice filled with resignation.As the night wore on, we sat in silence, the distance between us palpable. The crackling of the fire echoed in the stillness, a somber reminder of the rift that had formed between us.Days turned into weeks, and the tension between Scarlet and me remained unresolved. Our interactions became strained, and our conversations stilted and awkward. The pack noticed the change in dynamics, casting knowing glances in our direction.One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the meadows, I found myself standing at the edge of the clearing, lost in thought. Scarlet approached me, her footsteps hesitant."A
KILLIAN'S POVAs the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the meadows surrounding the pack territory, I found myself sitting beside the campfire, lost in my thoughts. Scarlet, the Beta of our pack, approached me quietly, her soft footsteps barely audible over the crackling of the flames."Alpha Killian, may I join you?" she asked, her voice gentle and soothing. I nodded in response, a faint smile playing on my lips as she settled down beside me. Scarlet had always been kind and understanding, a trait that had endeared her to many in the pack. However, despite her virtues, I couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't the one for me.I glanced at her from the corner of my eye, taking in her delicate features and warm hazel eyes. She turned to look at me, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "Alpha, I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming pack gathering. Do you think it would be a good idea to invite the neighboring packs as well?" she inquired, her voice filled with a
As we reached our target, Sigil pointed to a building ahead. "That's where the information is stored. You must retrieve it without raising an alarm."I nodded, my senses on high alert as I approached the building. With practiced ease, I slipped inside, moving silently through the shadows.I found the information I needed, but as I turned to leave, a group of guards appeared, surrounding me. I felt a surge of panic, unsure of how to escape this situation.Before I could react, Sigil appeared, a whirlwind of power and precision. In a matter of seconds, he dispatched the guards, leaving them unconscious on the ground.He turned to me, a mixture of pride and admonishment in his gaze. "You were too reckless, Alisha. Stealth and patience are your most valuable tools. Remember that."I nodded, chastened by my mistake. "I understand, Sigil. I'll be more careful next time."We made our escape, returning to the safety of our territory. As we parted ways, Sigil placed a hand on my shoulder, his
VALERIA'S POVI was getting better day by day in the training with Sigil, and now it looked like Brooke and his mother were my greatest worry. They attacked me at the slightest opportunity and searched for various ways to bring me completely down.I needed to be more fortified than mere physical training, I needed to also be fit spiritually and in other aspects of my life.I went to my father one late night, meeting him in his private chambers where he scouted with my mother."Hello Dad, can we discuss?" I asked patiently, standing by the side of the door and waiting for his response.I spent nothing more than a split second at the door until I finally got a reply.My father stepped out of the chambers, holding the curtain over his shoulders, with his face beaming with questions. "My princess, why are you by my door so early?" He quizzed, and on his face was a look of concern that I couldn't stop admiring the fact that he was after my wellbeing.I felt loved sincerely and I couldn't j
