THE PACK HOUSE of the pack of Blackspire, North London was a very impressive structure that reflected on just how successful and large the pack was. It was a massive, 3-storey duplex that glimmered in the late afternoon sun.
Guards were stationed at the front doors. Sylvester cursed under his breath as he climbed the stairs that led up to the pack house. “The alpha has been expecting you, Beta,” one of the doormen said, pushing the heavy double doors open to allow Sylvester in. Of course, he has. Sylvester muttered to himself. The fucking useless alpha and his blockheaded son. They both could not do anything on their own, they always had to involve him, disrupting anything he was doing without consideration. Now, the only thing on his mind was how pliable Liora had felt underneath him. He could just imagine himself inside her, thumping and thrusting. She reminded him so much of her mother, who had been his first crush until his fucking brother stole her heart with strength and bravery – which Sylvester himself did not have. Then they both died and put their child in his care. Not only did he despise the child because she was the cause of the death of her mother, but he also despised her because she was a reminder that his brother had been mated to crush – that was until Liora started developing into a young woman, and Sylvester started seeing her mother’s features in her. Just the thoughts and imagination started making his cock hard again, he dipped his hand into his pocket to hide his erection as he stood in front of the Alphas office. He breathed out, pleased that there was no trace of alcohol in his breath before he gave a small knock and walked in. “Ah, the savior, Beta Sylvester is here,” Alpha Roberts said, stretching his hand forward. Of course, I am your savior, you alpha cunt, Sylvester thought to himself as he plastered a wide smile on his face and said, “I am always here for you, alpha.” He took a seat opposite Alpha Roberts and asked, “What troubles you?” “Many things, beta,” Robert said dramatically, putting his hand over his head. “Like for one, what am I going to do about the fucking alpha of ShadowVeil pack?” “He’s still coming here?” Sylvester asked. If there is one pack that makes the Blackspire pack look small, it is the ShadowVeil pack and its alpha. “Yes, he is,” Robert nodded. “They said he’s coming here in peace, but I think we all know better.” Sylvester stroked his chin thoughtfully. Alpha Cassian of ShadowVeil is more like a myth, for army years, he was only known by his deeds – he actively reclaimed his pack from being a council republican, something that was practically impossible, but Sylvester did it with his army of well-trained wolves. And as the pussy that alpha Robert was, he had been looking to get into Cassian’s good books by any means necessary as The ShadowVeil pack was expanding and getting closer. “We could offer him a peace offering when he gets here,” Robert said. “You know, when he gets here after all these years of ignoring my invitation.” Fucking ass-licking cunt, Sylvester thought to himself. “Hey, we could offer Natalie to him, don’t you think?” Roberts's face suddenly shone and he grinned impressively. “It would strengthen our pack with them married, and I must say, Natalie is very beautiful and she would make a great luna to him.” That’s not happening in hell, Sylvester cursed inwardly but he smiled and said, “That would be an honor, alpha, But -” “I know, I know…” Robert rolled his eyes. “Natalie should have taken after you as the future beta, but I think this is going to be good for her.” With the fake smile plastered on his lips, Sylvester shook his head, saying, “Even that would be an honor.” He shook his head, “When have I ever given you the wrong advice, alpha?” “Never.” “So would you take this advice I am about to give you?” Sylvester cocked his head. “Natalie is not going to be the beta of the pack. She will be the Luna because you are going to force your son to get mated to her.” “What? Robert jr?” “Yes, Robert Jr,” Sylvester nodded. “The future alpha should get mated to my daughter, they will produce children with a very strong bloodline, don’t you think so?” Robert rubbed his forehead and nodded, “Yes, that is so true. You are right, as always.” He clapped. “But then, what do we give alpha Cassian?” Sylvester closed his eyes, not wanting to voice the thought in his head, but he knew he was out of options, so he said, “We could hand Liora to him.” “Your niece?” Sylvester nodded. “She will give us an added advantage without being a detriment to our pack, after all, she does not do anything here for us, and she’s considerably pretty too.” “If she looks anything like her mother, she will be gorgeous,” Robert said, more to himself than to Sylvester, who could already feel his cock getting hard again just thinking about Liora. He crossed his legs to subtly hide the erection. “Hey, you know what? We could make the arrival of Cassian the official mating between Robert Jr and Natalie,” Robert said. “That sounds like a very good idea to me.” he stood up from the couch and hurried out of the office yelling, “Robert Jr! Robert Jr! Get off that video game, you are getting mated…” Sylvester sighed and relaxed back into his couch. Even in his drugged and drunk state, he still had more brain power than both the alpha and the son combined. “Robert Jr,” he scoffed. “Who the fuck names his son a junior to him? Robert junior… that’s a stupid-ass name.” he closed his eyes and let his memory take him back to Liora’s pliable flesh. He had to fuck her at least once before she gets sold off to Alpha big black wolf Cassian. He had to fuck her tonight.LIORAI WAS DISCHARGED after a few days. Cassian never came to visit me anymore, but when I slept, I could feel his presence. I was not sure if it was real or if my mind was playing tricks on me because whenever I woke up, I always saw that I was alone.My child was medically approved to be healthy even though he was born prematurely.On the morning I was to be discharged, Sienna burst into my room with a bunch of balloons. "Congratulations, Liora!" She grinned. "The doctors said you can come home now."It hurt me that when she said "home," my mind went to the Blackspire pack, and not Cassian's pack. I plastered a smile on my face as I sat up."I expected a little more enthusiasm," Sienna said as she tied the balloon to my bedstand. "Go and wash up, I'll watch baby Jade."I nodded and stood up. Jade carried Jade carefully from his cot and cradled him, making cooing sounds which he seemed to enjoy because his baby laughs filled the air as I went into the bathroom. I took my bath quick
LIORAWHEN I WOKE up, my first instinct was to reach out for my baby. I sat up abruptly, and my head spun."Relax," a voice said. I turned around sharply and saw Sienna with my baby. She was cradling him gently."The doctors said you will remain at the hospital for a few days to make sure everything is fine.""Should something be wrong?" I asked."Don't get defensive on me," she said. "The baby was born premature." She snorted. "They are humans. They do not understand our biology."I scoffed."Here, carry him," she said, handing Jade to me. "He is beautiful. ""Thank you," I smiled as soon as I was carrying him. He was sleeping peacefully."They said you had already named him," Sienna said, crossing her arms."Jade," I nodded. "It was the first name that came to my mind, and it's my birthstone.""Understandable," Sienna muttered. "But you should have told Cassian that you had a name for the child already.""Why?" I snapped. "He is not the father. I don't have to tell him anything.""
CASSIANCARRYING THE STILL body of the child had shifted something in Cassian. This was his first encounter with a newborn baby. His life had been filled with blood, war and death, so this was a new experience for him.As soon as Sienna walked out of the house to bring the medics here and he carried the baby awkwardly in his arms, he could feel the despair rising in Liora as she lay on the makeshift bed, exhausted and almost unconscious. Cassian knew that he had to do something. He could feel the life slipping from the baby, so he started trying to resuscitate the baby.He tried all the emergency medical methods he knew, but the baby kept on getting paler by the second, so in a last-ditch effort, he bit on his thumb, extracting blood which he placed in the baby's mouth and forced it down. The blood of an alpha, especially a very powerful one, was often rumored to have magical powers. Cassian did not believe much in magic or even the divinity of the mood goddess, but he just did it any
LIORAIT STARTED AS a small stomach ache, but before I knew what was happening, labour contractions shook me to my core. I was alone in the house, and none of my neighbours were available.I struggled to the door, hoping that I would make it to the main street and meet anybody, but the contractions in my lower belly made me groan and sit back down. I lay down on the floor, waiting for the contractions to pass.The pain was like nothing I had ever felt. My breath quickened, and I realized that I was going into labour right now."Help!" I wheezed weakly and forlornly. No one was going to hear me and come to my aid. I was going to bleed out to death on the floor. "My baby..." I whispered, as a trickle of blood ran down my inner thigh.I could not tell if I was hallucinating, but my door burst open, and Alpha Cassian was staring down at me. I could not tell the look on his face, but he disappeared again."Help..." I called weakly.Suddenly, I was being hoisted up by strong arms. My legs w
-LIORA-MY HEART WAS broken, and my spirit was shattered. I had run out of energy to cry. My eyes were dry and itchy all the time, and I constantly felt pressure in my chest.I felt stupid and used. After saving myself all these years for my fated mate and defending myself from my uncle, I gave myself to Robert Junior, who ended up using me. The thought of it made me teary again. I have been in this new pack for almost a month, and I have mostly kept to myself. I was grateful that I was left alone. No one bullied or tried to talk to me.None of the men who had brought me here had come to see me. Only a woman who introduced herself as Sienna spoke to me. She gave me gentle orders on my duties for the day, and she was the one who had shown me where to sleep and some clothes.My stomach felt queasy as I wiped down the table. I was almost done for the day. I placed a hand on my belly and squeezed it gently. I had a dreading suspicion of what the nausea and morning sickness were. I was
-CASSIAN-"EXCUSE ME, I will go talk with him," Ryan said urgently as everyone watched Cassian stalk out of the room. He hurried out of the room. "Wait up," he called.When he caught up with Cassian, he asked, "What was that all about?""I said what I felt," Cassian said. "And I don't want the gift, I rejected it. Easy as that. In fact, I was wrong about this pack," He looked around. "We are going to invade and take over. Gather the men, we're going home.""Cassian," Ryan said with a frown. "You know I am all with you, whatever your decision. I will fight beside you no matter the war, but I think this pack has gone out of their way to make you feel welcome for peace. You should give them the benefit of the doubt. Accept the gift, take her back to the pack, fuck her when you wish until you find your mate -"Cassian tuned out after that. His mate...He knew how mates were found. They were usually drawn to each other by an irresistible scent, just like the floral vanilla from the girl.C
