18. A Hero’s Burden

last update publish date: 2026-01-11 04:24:10

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   217. Trauma Bond

    Icarus.My silver blade cut clean through the neck of the Rejected werewolf and I was onto the next one before its head touched the ground. I dodged an erratic clawed blow from the new Rejected and sliced it head. I had just killed a total of twelve Rejected in this house.I made my way up the stairs where I saw two girls huddled together in fear. My senses were on high alert as I watched them. I looked at the what was left of their parents. A torso here and some other body parts there.The cubs were already traumatized. There was no point in sugarcoating their situations to them. Life was going to be tough from now on. I opened my senses to see if there were any threats left. The area was clear. Rejected had a very strange static frequencywhen you tried to link into their minds.I put my Sabre away and knelt in front of them. They scuttled back against the wall in fear.“I am not going to hurt you, look, I am not a monster, I am here to help. My name is Icarus.” I said in a soft ass

    Sage.“I will not fail twice in one day,” Elvira said with a determined gaze on her face. I was worried for her. I new very little about magic so I felt like I was not the right person to caution her but it I could tell that her failures were taking a toll on her.“It will be very humiliating for me if Kieran comes back here and you have not gotten any results,” Sia gritted her teeth as she stood impatiently inside the magical pentagram.“Again, I am not concerned about your personal life. If it was easy, you would have done it.” Elvira replied with even glancing at Sia. She was looking intently at the pentagram, devising a new plan.“Saturn knows magic,”

    ​​​​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

    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

    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

As we arrived at the restaurant, I realized with growing disgust that he was a politician down to his very bones, every gesture calculated, every smile practiced, every moment an opportunity for image management.The roy
