Melissa's POVOsbert stood there with his eyes, a blazing red showing that his wolf had taken over. His lips were pressed in a thin line and his fists were clenched tightly by his side."What is going on here!" He asked as he advanced towards us, he was not looking at me but glaring angrily at the guards who quickly jumped off me and tried to hide his member from his leader's scrutinizing gaze.He was shivering so badly and if he hadn't hurt me, I would have felt sorry for him but he deserved everything he was going to get and even more."Am I talking to deaf and dumb men? I just asked a fucking question and I want an answer right now!" He asked still glaring, the other guard moved to untie the chains from my wrist since the other made no move to react.I winced in pain as I saw bits of my flesh fall off as a result of the hotness on my skin."What did you do to her?" Osbert growled grabbing the collar of the guard who still had his shirt on, pulling him such that he was hanging in th
Gianna's POVEverything in the pack was at a standstill as a result of the Beta queen's disappearance. I couldn't believe my best friend would just leave like that without even informing me.It's been eight days and still no positive report on her whereabouts. There has been a strain between me and the Alpha recently though I understood but I couldn't help but feel lonely at times because I had gotten so used to his company even though I hadn't come to terms with my feelings for him.Alpha Dane was under a lot of pressure. It was hard keeping things together from different angles, being an Alpha of a powerful pack such as this and being a friend.The Beta was in a really bad state mentally and he was always having constant fights with his sister who moved out of the house during the week when the Beta threatened to bathe her in a pool of her blood.Somehow, I felt relieved that she finally moved out of the pack house because she always looked for every opportunity to make life difficu
Gianna's POVI listened carefully to Dane speak with tears brimming in his eyes and I wished I had my voice so I could give those elders a piece of my mind because they deserved it.They had been stressing Dane in every ramifications as a result of his decisions for the pack, which in my opinion is none of their business, I just wanted them to leave him alone to do his thing peacefully."I killed my parents..." He dropped the bombshell and swallowed it, goosebumps appeared on my skin at the revelation. I had heard this before but there was something about hearing it first-hand from the horses mouth, I really couldn't imagine how he must be feeling having to deal with all the pain and stigma associated with his life story."You didn't...at least I know no sane child would willingly kill their parents, that's absurd Dane, stop apportioning blames on yourself like that" I said, he looked at me keenly for a moment, swallowed hard, stood up and began pacing, he stood and started looking ou
Dane's POVI saw the amusement in her eyes as she listened to me. In her head, I was some sort of hero. It made me glad; I felt on top of the world. You know the feeling when you've been trying to get someone's attention, and then the person finally notices you after doing the simplest of things? That's exactly how I felt right now. Talking about my parents has always been a really sensitive issue for me, and I avoided talking about it like a plague. In fact, when I became Alpha, the first thing I did was to make rules forbidding the pack members from talking about my late parents. It made me feel like a villain, and I didn't want to feel that way.But these past few years have changed me; I grew older and learned how to control my emotions, such that the things which would naturally get to me were now a walkover. Today was my mother's death anniversary, and I went to drop flowers by her tombstone as I have been doing for the past nine years, so I felt that was the proper time to te
Dane's POVHearing her ask me that kind of question was really absurd and unexpected. I mean, Melissa is my past, and I do not intend to bring her into my present."Why would you even ask such a thing? I find it really offensive!" I said as Gianna glared at me. She was finding it hard to believe, and I didn't blame her, but it made me feel hurt. I would have loved it if she could at least give me the benefit of the doubt."You're giving me every reason to, Dane! Does this even sound reasonable to you? Someone whom you called your wife, cheated on you, broke your heart, and now things have turned in the opposite direction. She asks for your help, and you allow it. You're supposed to have her blocked on all areas, Dane!" She said, fuming in anger, and I chuckled lightly.I know this was a really serious situation, but it made my heart warm because she was jealous of another woman's presence in my life. It made me understand the depth of her love."It's not what you think, Gia. Listen, M
Angel's POVI woke up in an unfamiliar room, my head was pounding like there was a tornado happening inside my brain, my wolf was growling in pain and anger, my limbs were sore and hurting, and my body badly bruised; simply put, I was in so much pain. I woke up to ice-cold water being poured on me in a harsh manner. The feel of the icy liquid made me clamp my legs together as the water soaked my torn clothes. The sudden rush of the cold hit me, making goosebumps appear on my skin and causing me to gasp.Two days ago, a hot iron rod was placed on my skin, causing me to scream in my sleep. Yesterday, vinegar was given to me when I asked for water. Now, this has been a daily routine for the past few days since I found myself in this place. I didn't know where I was, and I didn't even know who my kidnappers are."Stand up now!"I didn't bother to argue. When I did that days ago, I was given the beating of my life. It was obvious these people here do not even respect status, let alone the
Miles' POVAngerThat was the only thing I could feel right now.My wolf was not talking to me; he was blaming me for our mate's disappearance. I had tried countless times to make him understand, all to no avail, and I keep having dreams of my mate in danger and being killed.I knew this was my wolf trying to pass a message to me, but I was too confused to think straight right now.My mate's disappearance was affecting me in many ways. The mate bond was slowly weighing me down, causing me to act violently at times. At this moment, I had no control over my emotions, and it was affecting my overall well-being.Anger surged through me as I considered my next course of action. Everything seemed so challenging. Searching through all the werewolf packs in the country and even some of the human packs revealed nothing, it was as if Angel had vanished from the face of the earth without a single trace.The bottle of liquor by my bedside had long been emptied, and with each sip, the sensation of
Miles' POVDarkness surrounded me. I could hear my mate's heavy breathing, but I couldn't see her face. The room was becoming smaller by the second, and with each step I took, my breath hitched in my throat as breathing became difficult. "Angel!" I yelled, but silence answered me. My body inched terribly as sweat covered my forehead and dripped onto my chest. "Angel, where are you!" I cried as I maneuvered my way through the darkness, but the sound of my shoes echoed, creating a very eerie feeling that made chills run down my spine.Where in the world is this place? Who had taken my mate away from me? Thoughts raced while searching through every corner, eyes glowing in the dark with wolf powers.The door shuffled and creaked open, followed by footsteps that prompted an automatic turn in fear. A sword was pointed at the me yet the presence of this stranger brought a familiar peace that defied description. An attempt was made to glance at the one whose intense glare bored holes,
