LOGINMaddox wished that he knew what to say. He wished that he had the perfect answer and that he would say just the right thing that would be enough to help them. But he did not. If he did, he would not be a prisoner, would he? He looked up and locked eyes with his beta and smiled sadly. “I’m sorry, Leon. But this time, I don’t. The one who can save us now is Selena.” He sighed audibly. “And considering that she’s nowhere to be found and in the hands of Malek…we are truly f*cked.” Leon was about to say something, but then the door of the room opened, and a guard walked in with a tight frown on his face. “What’s going on? It hasn’t even been ten minutes yet,” He said, glancing at his watch to make sure. And he was right. “I don’t care. The boss said that I should get Maddox. He’s going back to his cell right now,” The guard replied, gesturing to the former Alpha to stand up. Maddox did not argue or fight against this. He knew that when he had just been brought here, he had tried so har
It was the next day. The rumors were true. The darkness had truly fled, and the sky was back to normal. The sun rose as it used to, and the weather looked like it was going to be a great day. It had also been confirmed that the rivers cleared up as well. All the plagues that had sat over the pack for weeks had suddenly disappeared after Malek had risen as the Alpha of the pack. Leon was confused about this. He knew that the spirits did not approve of the guy being the leader. He could remember vividly that one of the guardians had even told him that Malek did not belong anywhere near the Oracle. So why was everything…normal? The question bugged the beta. It played in his head like a broken record, and he wished that he knew the answer, but he did not. On the news, it had also been announced that the dark lord was now the Alpha of the pack. Malek had made sure to kick Leon to the servants’ quarters, that was in the same compound as the Royal Mansion. He said that the beta were not
The end was now. Or so it seemed. The earth shook underneath, and it took only seconds for the ground to split open under them. The sky that was once dark was now filling with light as thunder echoed one more time. The darkness was fleeing, and it looked like the sun was getting back to normal. But Leon knew that it was not a good thing. Malek was not supposed to be the Alpha of the pack. A man who had killed Maddox’s mother and was responsible for so much more had no business ruling over the pack. But that was the reality that they were living in now. As they rushed away, the beta looked back once more, and he saw that the stone that was called the Oracle was bleeding as if it were a living thing. The whiteness had now completely been drenched by the redness of blood. Leon cursed as he turned his attention back to fleeing. He knew that he would be punished; there was no escaping that. But he had done it for the right reasons, and he was willing to accept whatever the spirits or th
The air was thick, and it suddenly got colder than usual. So cold that it literally started to snow immediately. It was like even the ground under them was soaked with an energy that was not from this world. There were very quiet whispers that danced in the atmosphere, and everything seemed so charged with an aura. Leon could feel and sense everything that was going on, and to be honest, he was nervous. But he was not going to turn back. He was going to go through with the ceremony. He already knew the steps. He was going to perform the ritual, and he was going to make sure that the guy was the Alpha before they could leave.His becoming Alpha seemed like it was a bad thing, and it kind of was, but when you looked at it another way, it would be buying them time. It would give Selena the time she needed to be able to get her powers back some way or the other. He took a few steps close to the white stone that seemed to be dimly glowing in the darkness of the forest. Since they were d
The ride to The Oracle was kind of weird. There was an awkward silence in the car, at least that was how it felt to the beta. He was by the door, and he was very aware of his surroundings. He did not want to end up like Cassie. He would rather die than end up like Cassie…to end up fighting for a villain that he hated.He was at the back of the car, and so was Malek. The guy was not far from him; he was on the other side of the window. The guy who was driving seemed to be in a way. It was like he was being mind-controlled, and at the same time, it did not seem that way. Or maybe Leon was just overthinking. He knew, as the beta to the Alpha, that taking someone ordinary to the Oracle was the wrong thing to do. He knew that the place was sacred ground and that it held spirits and the aura of so many great people before them. He knew that at that particular place, the spirit of the Moon goddess was evident. And he knew that he was going to be punished in some way for what he was doing
With the omega chained up in the cabin very far in the forest, with so many protection spells that Malek had had some witches cast on the place, he was sure that no one was going to find her. And that she was either going to die there, or she was going to get her powers by some miracle and give him a real fight. But for now, he was incredibly happy with the way everything was going. Everything was falling into place, and his plan was blossoming. He was not worried about anyone finding Selena, and that was not just because of the witches, but also because she was a human right now. She had no real scent that anyone would use to track her. It was like the universe was on his side, and maybe it was. Maybe it knew the pain that was in his heart, and knew how much he had suffered…how much his parents had suffered before they had died. Maybe I knew, and that was why everything was finally working out for him. He was going to make sure that he was going to take over the pack, and was goin
Selena stepped out of the house, the sound of Cat and her parents arguing in the background. She was grateful that she could sleep somewhere last night, somewhere warm and safe.But now, she felt bad that she had caused problems for her new friend. Where was she going to go now? It was still early
Selena sniffled, standing to her feet. “Why?” She asked as she waited for an answer. She wanted to know because the last time she had talked to the alpha, the man had shouted at her to get away from him.So why? Why did he want to see her now?“Will you just get in the damn car?” Beta Leon said as
Selena was trying so hard to wrap her head around the conversation she had eavesdropped on. She kept replaying it in her head. It was literally the same thing that Cat had said she had seen in the spirit world. As much as the omega wanted to believe that it was nothing but a coincidence, it was ki
“I am not a cheater!” Selena shouted the words when she finally stopped. She was facing the car, her eyes locked on the alpha. “I am not! I will never cheat on anyone, and nothing you say or do is going to make me believe in the Moon goddess or a stupid mate bond!” Tears ran down her face freely.“
