LOGINJenine's POV It was finally time. I took in a deep breath as the rays from the moon beamed down with such an intensity it almost stung. Luca's eyes held mine. The warriors stood behind us awaiting orders.A wolf ran up to Luca a little out of breath.“I– I couldn't find him,” he panted.“That fucking wizard,” Luca cursed under his breath. His eyes glazed as he stared into the sky. “We move without him,” he finally said, jaws tight. “On me!”My eyes found Clarissa. I gave her a look.“He'll be here,” she mouthed. My brows knitted together as she leaned in to whisper something into Laura's ears before slinking away. I noticed Laura's exasperated look. Things weren't going as planned.I prepped myself for the worst. I’d take them on myself if I had to.We moved stealthily through the woods, Luca guiding us. Oddly but not unexpected, he knew his way around. He raised a hand as the pack house came into view. I could see the undead swarming across the gates.“Sorry I'm late,” Zonda's husk
Jenine's POVI watched him that night as he stared into space. The moon shone on his hair making them glitter. He looked majestic as he stood there drawing power from the moon. Tearing my eyes away from him suddenly because a hassle. I didn't want to. I wondered if he could scent me already. “It's now or never,” I let out a sigh.A pair of cold hands grabbed my arm as I made to move. I turned to see Clarissa, Laura's mum gripping me tightly. Her eyes shone fiercely.“Don't,” she growled.“Why?” I retorted.“Now's not the best time. He has enough things to worry about already. Don't give him more.”“But…” I protested. “What if we don't make it? What if this turns out to be the end for us all?”“Then you carry that secret with you to the grave.”I saw her glance over my shoulder.“Remove every doubt from your mind. Orchid dies tomorrow.”Luca's footsteps shuffled to a stop behind me.“Everything alright here?”“Yes Alpha,” Clarissa's voice came surprisingly calm. The edge in it had dis
Luca's POV My spine tingled as I made my way back to the camp with the warriors. They were ready. I knew it. I could feel it. And I knew they could too. They had outdone themselves superseding my expectations by a long margin and within a short period of time.I wondered if my mate was ready. She was crucial to the attack. We didn't have much time on our hands now.I bumped into Laura on my way back from the river where I had gone to freshen up.“Have you seen Jenine?” she asked.I paused. She'd snatched the question right off my mouth.“I thought she was with you.”We didn't say a word to each other till we got to the encampment. Zonda was lounging idly near the fire.“Have you seen Jenine?” I asked him.He shot me a surprised look. One that suggested I was asking the wrong person. He shook his head. “Clarissa's missing too. Thought you should know.”My back stiffened.“We'll have to go look for them.”“Umm…” Laura's voice came gently, “... that won't be necessary.”Almost immediat
Jenine's POV “Off to somewhere?”I froze. No one was supposed to see me.I waited as the sound of her footsteps closed in.“Where are you off to in the middle of the night, alone?”“It's none of your business, Clarissa,” I said through clenched teeth.“Oh, is it? I wonder why Luca would let you leave alone.”She paused, bidding her time.“Unless he isn't aware.”I swirled around quickly, my eyes glaring at her. I could now see why Laura hated her guts.“You wouldn't dare–”“Or would I?”If looks could kill, my eyes would have burned a hole right through her forehead.“You don't understand. I have to kill her.”“Kill who?”My lips pressed tightly together.“Who do you have to kill, Jenine?” she pressed.“Orchid,” I spat. “She has to die.”It was dark but I felt her eyes scrutinizing me.“I believe plans are already in motion in that regard. You don't have to sneak off like this. Orchid will get what's coming to her. It's only a matter of time but you have to be patient. She's as power
Jenine's POV “Yes, there,” I moaned as he thrusted. His arms held my waist, firm as he moved in a steady rhythm. His fingers clutched my hair briefly before sliding down to my neck.A hand found my boobs again teasing my nipples. The other found it's way to my clit rubbing gently as he thrusted faster.“Y– yes… fuck me,” I moaned. “Make me yours,” I whimpered..“You like it,” he growled pulling my head back again.My body jerked as an orgasm built up in me. Suddenly he pulled out. Wrong timing. I wished he hadn't.He turned me around picking me off my feet. Then slid in again.A gasp slipped through my lips.“I want to look at you when you cum,” he whispered, his voice coarse. The sound of his voice sent a tingle down my already dripping pussy.He started thrusting again this time with intent. His arms grabbed my butt cheeks firmly.. I couldn't see a thing as my eyes rolled back. I could feel the muscles of his shoulders taut and tight as I held on.My eyes opened settling on his fa
Luca's POV I made my way deeper into the woody expanse. Away from everyone. Away from everything too I hoped.It was too much to take. The emotional stress, the psychological strain. Everything!I hadn't even fully grieved my father's death. He was all I had had left. And Barlas had snuffed life out of him.My throat tightened.My wolf was a shadow of its former self. Yes, Zak obeyed when I called him up to fight, but he did it with a certain fear. I noticed it just when the warriors had wanted to attack. He held back a little. That type of hesitance could cost us our lives in a fight.The trauma of your best friend stabbing life away from you while staring you deep in the eyes, lips curled up in a smile does something to you.At that instant he had looked like an enemy who had been living a farce, waiting all his life for that exact moment.I couldn't be their Alpha. Not when I could barely control my own wolf and fend for myself. I couldn't lead them. I couldn't put them through th
Flashback:Dew’s POV I've watched Jenine grow into a beautiful young girl. It's been a long 23 years since we—Becca and I—escaped from Lupestone through the portal my brother had created. “Take care of her,” he had said and that I had done to the best of my ability. I had been there with Becca t
Jenine's eyes fluttered open as the sun seeped through the curtains and onto her face. “What the hell happened to me?” she muttered as her eyes adjusted to the lighting in the room. It was a small cozy room with a simple design that had a soothing effect on the eyes; not too harsh, not too plain.
The pack house was as cold as death when Luca returned. He listened to hear if his father was still up but safe for the occasional low calls of the pack house guards and the intermittent howling in the distance, all was quiet. Luca's footsteps thudded the ground in a perfect rhythm as he walked. A
Luca's POV I stormed out of the pack house striding furiously with my fists clenched. My father was at it again. His constant yapping about me finding a mate who would—in his exact words—“stand by you” when I took his place as Alpha was already draining. Too bad for my mental health. I don't mea
