I had become some sort of local hero after my confrontation with Alpha Primus, which was both flattering and deeply uncomfortable. Word had spread through Mountain Back like wildfire, the story growing more embellished with each retelling until I’d supposedly sent five guards flying, quoted an entire legal treatise from memory, and made Kieran himself bow before leaving. The reality had been dramatic enough without the additions, but I understood why people needed the exaggeration. They needed

  • The Mate They Threw Away   215. ​​A Special Kind of Location Spell

    ​​​​Sage.I was wracked with a terrible anxiety as we all silently followed Madame X to the meet Kieran. If he thought he was going to take my sister away from me, he had another thing coming. I knew that it was going to be futile to fight him but I would of push came to shove.Him and his Alphas had already taken enough from me, I was never going to let them take what was mine ever again.I was still reeling from the healing I had done on Xena and I wondered as I walked if my new found abilities were going to cause more harm than good. I had come to learn the hard way that with powers came powerful problems.‘Your gift is not new, Sage, it has been in you since you were but a child, it was locked inside you, now, it has been unlocked’ Oracle said.Who locked it in me? Oracle did not answer me. Maybe it did not know.‘Or maybe you are not ready for the answer,’ Oracle replied.I wanted to argue but now was not the time. We were close to Kieran’s chamber.Why did we have to use his ch

  • The Mate They Threw Away   214. Dormant Gifts

    Sage.Xena was bleeding, dying and angry. Yet despite all that she was going through, she refused to be helped. She was limping angrily as she left a trail of blood behind her.“You will die if you don’t get the help that you need, Xena,” I said for the umpteenth time.She only glared ahead and kept on limping. I could tell that she hated losing a fight and maybe this was the first time she had lost one. I was not so sure but she was taking it badly.I sighed wearily. I was tired, fed up, burnt, covered in soot and werewolf blood, I probably stank like a Rejected too and I had no idea why I was even bothering myself with this Beta.“Xena, your healing factor is not working,” I said to her.She stopped walking and turned to me in an angry disbelief, then she looked down at herself before she looking at me again.“How?” she growled.“I do not know how Alistair did it but he somehow turned Sunder into a living poison and now you are infected.” I told her.“You need to get help or you will

    Dominic.“It was a smart thing to do bringing this specimen here,” Dr. Strahovsky stated as she cut open Sunder’s dead body. “We can learn a lot about how Alistair creates his weapons.”“You think this is a weapon?” Kieran asked in an annoyed tone filled with disbelief.“Everything Alistair does to attack you is a weapon.” Dr. Strahovsky replied as she cut a precise vertical line down Sunder’s torso. “Even this former Beta of yours.”“What can you tell us?” I asked. I was still thinking about the whole thing and it still made little sense to me.Sunder was no match for me. So why did Alistair send

  • The Mate They Threw Away   212. ​The Deal.

    Alistair.Sunder was dead. It was good news to me because she had done her job excellently. A well-placed pawn can bring down a kingand she had brought me valuable information on Dominic Stone.The second Alpha was a reclusive one which made it quite difficult to get a hold of him even though I had his DNA. I could not create anything to tackle his abilities because I had no data on how he behaved.A better part of my work was based purely on biological data. I could create countless monsters and send them to the Alphas but it would only be a waste because my creations would only be killed instantly.Sunder was the closest thing that I had to knowing about Dominic but it was on

    Dominic.I had my doubts but the strange doctor was true to her words. The new serum she had given me and the other Alphas worked efficiently. I had been able to block out the effects of the Sensory Dampener and save the lives of some of my deltawerewolves.I was pensive as I sat rigidly in the helicopter. How could I have been so foolish? Of course, it had to be a diversion. This place was had no real importance.Immediately I saw the building of the Halls, I sprang out of the helicopter, leaving Sage behind.Immediately I landed on my feet, the smell of blood assailed my nostril. Death was in the air. I ran inside and it was chaos. Large black werewolves over twenty in number were ransacking the whole place.One lunged at me but I swatted it aside like it was nothing but an annoying bug. I needed to know who was controlling them. I was not interested in battling it out with a mindless werewolf. Sage punched off the head of another Rejected and I secretly marveled at her strength. I

    Sage.It was the first time that I had seen Dominic look so stricken and it made me uneasy. Before I could ask what was wrong an alarm rang out. It was so loud that I was sure the whole of Silver Crest heard it.“We are under attack,” Kieran said as he joined us. “Who dares?” he ignored me but he had an angry scowl on his face. “It is coming from the west wing of the territory.” Dominic said. “A large number of the Rejected are swarming through the settlements.”“Do we have an exact number?” Kieran asked.

    I waited for the witch to strike me down. I tensed for the impact of whatever pain she was about to inflict on me. Nothing happened.“The two of you are really tense,” The witch said with a dark chuckle. She looked at me. “I made it clear that I have no interest in hurting you, Sage.”“Then what ar

Until I figured out why and how the Lady in Black got access to my dream, I was not telling anyone.It took hours before the last bla

    Witches were bad news. I had no issues with them and I had never come across one before. However, witches had always been the mortal enemies of werewolves since time immemorial.I could literally feel the worry oozing out of Kieran as he brooded silently.“I am still not sure how you are certain th
