LOGINI could not believe what I was staring at. I closed my eyes and peeled them open again, my heart slamming violently against my chest as I struggled to understand what I was looking at. A scream ripped past my lips, horror slushing through my veins as my jaw dropped open. This could not be real. It had to be a faux, right? An hallucination. I had to be seeing things, right?Elias materialised at my side almost immediately, shifting back into his human form and grabbing the clothes hanging loosely on my arms. When his gaze settled on the sight before me, he stiffened and it was then I knew that I wasn't hallucinating. Every single thing before me was real. Rows after rows of cages lined the entire room. Om the farthest end, there was what seemed like large glass bottles with hooks hanging down from the end. The bottles were filled with a weird looking liquid. The room was empty, but a shiver ran down my spine regardless. “So Mattias was right,” Elias muttered as he walked I to
We walked into an ambush. Sentries must have seen us coming from afar because as soon as we walked past the entrance, we came face to face with a large number of guards whose job was to stop us. Isadora's jaw was hanging open from the sheer number of guns that stared down at us, but I reached out to squeeze her hand. “Deep breaths, Little wolf. They are no match for us. They are humans,” I stated directly into her mind, and I saw it the moment she figured out that the men who were currently pointing their guns at us were mostly humans. We all remained still for a long, tense moment. Terrence and whoever he was working with were determined to stop us, determined to prevent us from seeing whatever they were hiding behind those doors. But we were so fucking close, and I would not be leaving here empty handed. They've had their fun, and enough was enough. I cut a straight path into the mental link between Carlos and I, and I issued a command. “Keep them busy. I need to get inside t
“Are you sure you're going to be okay alone?” I asked, my voice filled with concern. Erina rolled her eyes at me. “Stop fussing over me, Isa. I'm okay. It's not like anything is going to happen to me while you're gone. In fact, I should be worried about you,” she responded, placing emphasis on the fact that I was going on this mission. I stepped forward and dragged her into a hug. “I'm going to be fine. Elias is not going to let anything happen to me. And Carlos too,” the train of thought made me remember something, and I pulled back slightly to stare at her. “You sure you don't want Patrick to stay back and watch over the pack with you? I'm sure Elias wouldn't mind leaving him behind.”Erina mock glared at me. “Don't you dare. I don't want that man anywhere near me, please. It's going to be so awkward and I cannot deal with that right now. It's going to be stressful enough dealing with all those people who still think Felicity is a goddess and should be released. Let him go with
Carlos slapped the old man again, and blood spurted out of his now splitted lips. “Answer the question. Where is Terrence hiding? There has to be a central base of location. Where is it? Who else has been working with you guys from the shadows?” my Beta asked, voice filled to the brim with rage and disgust and impatience. But Mattias, like he had been doing for the past half hour, only smiled at those questions. His teeth was red from the blood, and it made him look weird. Slightly menacing, even. “Is that all you can do?” he spat, the glob landing just a few inches away from Carlos's feet. “You've grown weak. Spineless. It's no wonder how that bitch managed to bewitch your Alpha. You're too weak to protect him. I bet she's taken you under her spell too.”His voice was hoarse and scratchy, but his words still had an edge of malice to them. My Beta’s hands curled into fists at his words, but his face remained expressionless, betraying nothing of how much Mattias’s statements both
I watched the crowd as they dispersed, and even though they seemed to have been subdued by Isadora's speech, only half of them were. The other half remained staunchly against her. “She's such an accomplished liar. What did she expect, that we would feel pity for her and take back our words?” a woman snapped as she walked away, and my heart sank in my chest. “Our Pack is in big trouble as long as she's here. Remember what Felicity told us? She has bewitched Elias and now he is in too deep. He won't break out of her charm if she doesn't leave! She has to go!” another man responded. The third person tagging along with the couple spat on the floor with disgust. “All those tales about Ethan taking an advantage of her! What a lie! She's not pretty enough to be pursued by an Alpha's son. And I know Elias is only with her because of that goddamned bewitching. If not, which man will stay with someone like her? She's a slut!”Anger skyrocketed through my veins and I stepped forward, ready t
I felt, rather than see, Isadora as she turned stiff beside me. Her hand was still in mine, and she wanted to ease it from my grip. But I held on. I wasn't going to let her go. She was my mate, my Luna. And I wasn't going to let some bunch of old, foolish men try to rip my pack into pieces by sowing unwanted discord. And oh, I would kill those council men for what they just did.I stepped forward, taking Isadora with me, and the crowd fell silent again. My voice reverberated down the entire length of people as I spoke. “Isadora is my mate, and your rightful Luna. It is a crime to refer to her without her title, and a bigger one to have the guts to try to order me into releasing a traitor.”My Alpha authority rang in every word I said, and the crowd grew even more silent. They were like lambs they had been led into slaughter by the council men, who was just trying to use them against me. I went on. “I don't know what you heard, but I am pretty sure that whoever told you about Feli
I stared at Elias, wondering if I’d heard right, and clearly, I wasn’t the only one either because the maid stared at him, completely unmoving.She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but no words would come out. “Alpha-”“Did I fucking stutter?” he snapped and her mouth fell closed immediatel
CHAPTER 55: ISADORAThe silence was the most terrifying thing.It wasn’t unusual for there to be silence between Elias and I, but the tension in the air and the anticipation only made it scary. It also wasn’t helpful that every few seconds, Carlos would glance over at me as if worried that somethin
“No!” I rushed over to stop him, standing between him and the door. “You can’t do anything.”His nostrils flared. “Isadora, I need you to get out of my way.”“No!” I stood my ground. “You’re not going to make any stupid decisions because of me.”“Stupid?” he scoffed. “The bastard took advantage of
A different server brought out our food.It was a woman and I saw Elias grin once he realized the man wouldn’t be returning. The woman was careful to not look at either of us in the eyes. She kept her head to the ground and didn’t stay longer than she needed to.I planned to chide him for that, but
