The Howling Heart's Forgivenessย ย ย Chapter 150
The rage inside me is hard to contain the further we climb these familiar steps. We have only just passed the third floor finding no one standing guard at first. Brynlee and I had both found this suspicious and so we waited, sensing the area for any wolf lying in wait. Luckily waiting paid off as a group of warriors passed by the steps. Brynlee held back this time as Tristan, Ashton and I took care of them. One tried to use a dagger on me seeing as I did not have one of the guns on hand to inject the drugs into him. In the end, I took my anger out on this wolf, killing him with his own dagger that I wrestled from his hand before he could stab me with it while Tristan and Ashton took down the other three with ease because of their tranquilizer guns.After the four wolves were taken out, Brynlee joined us, her sharp gaze glaring at the sharp dagger in my hands. She was the one to point out it was covered in wolfsbane, the scent faint but still deadly to us. She had taken the dagger fro

The office light above me flickers, and a sense of unease suddenly hits me like a bag of bricks. The task that I was working on suddenly seems minor compared to the unease I feel right now as I try to pinpoint what is causing me to feel like this. Everyone in my Pack should either be asleep or performing their assigned tasks. The wolves on patrol should be checking in to assure me that no Rogue has crossed the border yet when I check the Pack link and the Warrior link, I hear no chatter whatsoever.โWhat the hell is happening?โ I mumble, pushing away from my desk and standing to my feet. I know Tanya is in bed. Had it confirmed by one of the Warriors guarding her. But what about the other wolves that live and work in the Pack House? What are they up to?Deciding to leave my office, I enter the halls to find an Omega quietly carrying some linen toward the laundry shoot. She notices me staring, her small frame quivering as she turns and bows.โI-is there anything you need, Alpha?โ She a

Keeping my gaze neutral as I try to fight back the laughter threatening to spill with Runeโs greeting to Valor, I watch as the Omega wiggles free of Valorโs grasp and runs down the hall towards another room. It seems like this Omega is smart to run and hide away from us as we came here for one reason and one reason only.โR-Rune.โ Valor stutters out as Rune takes a step towards him.โWhat are you doing here in Pine Moon after turning your back on it?!โ He demands, his words becoming confident. It seems Valor still has some bravado left after how cowardly heโs been acting.โLike Rune said a moment ago.โ I decide to answer, leaning against the staircase railing.โRune and I are back for our Pack as rightful Alphas.โ My words hit their mark and Valor clenches his jaw in annoyance. I canโt help the smirk that grows as Valor chooses to ignore me to focus on Rune. He sees my Mate as the biggest threat out of the two of us and thatโs fine. Having an opponent underestimate me makes the beatin

Lowering the now unconscious wolf in my grasp to the forest floor, I take a deep breath of the fresh air and try to calm my jittery nerves. Itโs been forty minutes since the operation started. Forty minutes since Brynlee and Rune left for the Pack House to kill my little brother. In that hour, our wolves have found many of Valorโs supporters that we have drugged and tied up. As soon as we know Valor is gone, we will gather these wolves and execute them at dawn and cleanse Pine Moon once and for all.โDelilah found many Rogues in the dungeons and Odette is on her way to help them.โ Avery calls out, making me jump. Tristan had sent his Beta with us to help in our part of the plan while he and Ashton went off to help Brynlee and Rune.โWhen did this happen?โ I ask, worried that this may be a trap.โAbout five minutes ago.โ She answers, looking up at the night sky. I can feel her worry for her Mate as Jamal went with Delilah to protect his cousin and Luna.โThey will be fine.โ I reassure

Stepping through the threshold of my childhood home, I smell the family scent of bourbon and cigar smoke floating in the air. It seems fatherโs nightly routine hasnโt stopped.โNora!โ My father shouts, his belligerent voice coming from the living room.โAre you back from patrol?โ I pause my footsteps, looking at Asteria who furrows her brows. Her eyes glaze over for a moment, most likely trying to see if anyone ran into my mother. When her gaze returns to normal, she mouths the words โcaptured earlierโ to me and I sigh in relief. It seems my mother is taking a nice drug-induced nap with the other wolves that supported Valor.โNora! Answer me you stupid whore!โ Asteria and Gale wince, their concerned gaze turning to me. I shake my head, already used to the abuse my father hurled behind closed doors. No one really knew the truth about how my parents acted. They knew the masks of kind loving people they portrayed to the Pack but when it was just the three of us in these four walls, they

Standing in the familiar foyer of the Pine Moon Pack House, I watch as Omegas run around preparing a simple breakfast for all the wolves here. Everyone knows Valor is dead now, they all felt it when he took his last breath.Tristan, Ashton, Rune, and I had stood where we were, the alarms blaring while we took in the fact Valor and Tanya were truly gone. That no one else in Pine Moon would be left feeling scared and hopeless. Tristan had helped Rune off of Valorโs body while Ashton came to stand beside me, my friend making sure that I was not left unprotected. We were left alone to our thoughts. That is until Riley came rushing to us claiming that wolves from Pine Moon had woken to the chaos of losing their Alpha and Luna.Rune waved off Riley, my Mate looking numb to everything around him. In the end, I was the one to order Riley to shut off the alarm and handed him a USB that contained a pre-recorded message Rune and I made before leaving Crescent Phoenix. With a task at hand, Riley

Standing in front of over one hundred wolves ranging from a newborn pup to the elderly using canes, I wonder just what their opinion are about Rune and me standing here. At the base of the steps to Pine Moonโs Pack House, Asteria, Gale, Caspian, Odette, Ashton, and Quest guard the stairs and prevent anyone from stepping close.โWe should say something.โ Rune mutters, taking my shaking hand in his. I can feel him shaking and sense the nervousness he has through our Mate Bond while facing everyone who remains in Pine Moon. Even after capturing Valorโs men, there is still one hundred and fifteen wolves in this Pack who now look to us as their leaders.โDo you want to start?โ I ask, turning to look up at Rune. He sighs, running his free hand through his messy hair before nodding his head slightly. Giving my hand a squeeze, he releases it and steps down two steps, the crowd watching him with weary gazes.โHello, everyone.โ His calls out loudly, his deep voice projecting over the crowd.โI

Sitting at the head table with Brynlee on my right and Caspian on my left, my heart feels at ease. Everyone who came to help us take back Pine Moon is mingling with the innocent members Brynlee and I will lead and the room is filled with smiles and laughter. Aunt Asteria and Uncle Gale were welcomed back warmly, the two being surrounded by wolves that had missed them dearly. Tristan was happily making his rounds around the Dining Hall, making sure his wolves were being kind while we all ate breakfast.But the best part of this morning was watching all the pups Brynlee used to train run up to her, wrapping my Mate in a group hug as she cried her heart out telling the pups how much she missed them. I know she is meant to be an Alpha leading as an equal beside me, but I also can see her taking on more traditional Luna roles if the pups continue rushing to her the way they did an hour ago.โPenny for your thoughts?โ I hear my Aunt ask, noticing that Brynlee has left the table to grab anot

Sitting at the vanity in my room that Brynlee had placed here, I watch as she slips on the pure white dress that Asteria and she had bought in town. It has been seven days since we took back Pine Moon from Valor and Tanya. Seven days of executing traitors that sided with those vial wolves. Seven days of restructuring the Pack and working with Caspian, Odette, and Quest to learn everyoneโs strengths, weaknesses, and what ranks would suit them the most. We were surprised by how many Omegas should have been Hunters or Warriors and in the end, we took down everyoneโs names so that we could promote them during the initiation ceremony.โCan you help zip this dress up?โ Brynlee calls out, her blue eyes meeting mine in the mirror. I smile, standing from the seat and taking the three steps needed to stand behind her. I carefully zip up her dress, feeling Brynlee shiver as my knuckles graze her skin. With a chuckle, I bend down to press a kiss onto my mark that graces her neck, getting a surpr

Sitting across from Alastor, I watch him take a sip from the coffee mug Sarah handed to him. Breakfast had just ended and as we waited for Asteria and Gale to join us with this meeting, Rune and I decided to bring Alastor into his office while asking Sarah โ one of the few wolves we can trust โ to bring refreshments for us.โSorry we are late.โ The door opens and Gale walks in followed by a tired looking Asteria. I know they are packing, preparing to leave and head back to Crescent Phoenix tomorrow morning, and I feel guilty for asking them to be here.โNo need to apologize, Luan Gale.โ Alastor states, waving his hand with a smile.โI see you also brought in a friend.โ Stiffening in my seat, I sniff the air and confirm an unknown wolfโs scent. Blackberries and pine reach my nose and I wonder who it is that Asteria decided to allow onto Pine Moon without telling me.โHey Alastor, long time no see.โ A dark-haired, green-eyed man walks through the door, his large frame taking up more spa

Taking a deep breath, I ready myself to see the remains of my childhood home with Rune by my side. Three days have passed since we killed Valor and Tanya. Three days of getting to know our new Packmates and organizing the mess of a Pack that Valor and Tanya left behind. Everything from training schedules to patrolling to even food preparation had been left in the hands of Wade Kane and his Mate Nora Kane while Valor focused on trying to kill Rune, Asteria, and me. Because of this, the Pack was left in dire straights and these last two days have been nothing but torture for Rune and me. Thankfully we had the help of Gale and Asteria and I had the experience I gained from helping Golden Fang become Crescent Phoenix.Yesterday during a small break that Rune and I took to relax and catch our breaths since we had done nothing but work on the Pack, Caspian, Asteria, and Gale took Rune and me aside, a solemn look on their faces. They had asked if there was a quiet place for us to talk not wa
