Oop!
**Alexus**Elektra: Um...did he seriously just throw his wife out the window?Alexus: This is all your fault.Elektra: How is this my fault? She was the one going off. He even warned her! This is why I tell you to watch your mouth. Keep it together, or you might be the next one tossed out the window.Alexus: It's your fault because you told me to lie to him about my mother. You saw the look on his face when I asked about his wife. It screamed, "I'm gonna take her out."Elektra: Listen, at the end of the day, she disrespected us and your mother, so the way I see it, she got what she deserved. Read the room, not a single wet face in the room. She won't be missed."Miss Alexus, will you join me for dinner?" Darren asked, pulling out a chair at the table."I would be...delighted," I replied, taking the seat. I jumped when he placed his hand on my shoulder."Relax. You do not need to fear me. You are my future mate's daughter.""May I ask you a question, Darren?"He shot me an unapproving
{Alexus}I quietly walked with two guards on each side of me. They warned me not to give them any trouble, or I would face the consequences. I kept my mouth shut, nodded in agreement, and followed them.I was shocked to find we were in a cave. The sound of water leaking from the ceiling created dripping sounds that I couldn't escape. It annoyed the hell out of me. It was like a faucet that sporadically leaked in the middle of the night. I cringed when I stepped into a large puddle of water that soaked through my tennis shoe and sock as we continued to make it through the winding and intricate cave system. We turned left and right so many times that my head was about to spin.Alexus: Good thing we didn't try to escape. We would've gotten lost as soon as we made a run for it.Elektra: I would've gotten us out...maybe...I rolled my eyes and continued to walk with my captors. The walls were lined with torches every few yards, casting an eerie glow on the slick walls. I couldn't help but
{Alexus}I awakened with a low groan. I had a headache the size of Antarctica. It took me a few seconds, but my memory came flooding back. Mark and his wolf tried to kill me. That fucking bastard.I opened my eyes and was confused to find myself completely shrouded in darkness. My nose scrunched up in displeasure from the rank smell."Oh, God. What is that smell?"Elektra: 75% of it is from deceased bodies, and the remaining 25% is from rogues.Alexus: Rogues?Elektra: Yes, ma'am. We are currently chained to a bed.My hands flew up, rattling the silver chains. It burned, but not as intensely. My mother was immune to silver due to repeated exposure when she was younger, and when I was born, some of her tolerance was transferred to me through DNA. I could still be burned by silver, but it was slight instead of an intense sizzle. I'd compare my reaction to silver similar to how you'd feel if you touched a sunburn. Uncomfortable, but not severe.Alexus: Elektra, I'm not trying to freak ou
{Noah}I wore a tight smile on my face as the council members trailed into the packhouse. Alexander and I performed a customary and respectful bow to each one."Please, rise," the Elder called out in his low baritone voice."Thank you, Councilman Reynolds, for arriving on short notice," Alexander said, shaking his hand. I rolled my eyes. He was such a kiss ass."I appreciate the warm welcome, but you don't have to thank me for doing my job."I stiffened once Councilman Reynolds stepped in front of me. We rarely agreed on any matters while I was on The Council, which led to lengthy, drawn-out "discussions." Well, they were more like growling matches over policy and procedures. I was not confident leaving my fate in this man's hands. Whatever decision he made regarding my punishment and the Luna Games would most likely be biased and out of spite. What was troubling was that, somehow, along the way, I made an enemy out of Councilman Simon. We never had any problems while I was on the Cou
{Noah}"You're starting to slow down, old man," Alexander teased as he swiped at me. He missed, of course, but not by much."It's not good to use recreational drugs," I panted, causing Alexander to snort."I would never.""You have to be if you think I'm slowing down. I'll have you on your ass in a few seconds.""I highly doubt that."We continued sparring for several minutes and to my relief, Amari entered the gym, capturing Alexander's attention. His eyes darted toward her for a split second, and I used his distraction to my advantage. With the last of my strength, I tackled Alexander to the padded floor and grappled him into an armbar."Ugggghhhh!" Alexander cried out as I tried to get him to surrender."Tap out, Alexander.""Never!""Tap out or your pride will have you leaving out of here with a broken arm. You know I'm good for it," I warned."I fucking hate you," he yelled before repeatedly tapping on the outside of my thigh. I released him, but not without a little taunting."H
{Mark}"Get off of me," she growled, trying to unpin her arms from her sides."I will once you listen to me.""There's nothing to listen to. You failed, and I'm not going to run to my dad to give you a second chance.""You're a fucking bitch," I growled in her face."I bet you feel like such a man, jumping me like this, and calling me a bitch to my face. I'd love to see you talk like that in front of my dad and Noah. We'll see how you cower like the punk you are. You are not worthy of being my mate because you don't know how to take accountability for your actions like a true Alpha would. You're trying to take the easy way out of your fuck up. What? You've been on kitchen duty for a day, and you think you're going to worm your way back into the pack warrior program? Fuck that. The best thing you could've done for yourself was admit that you were wrong, keep your head down, earn our leadership's trust back, and serve. But for some reason, you have this idea that you're better than every
