True alphaDamon pov“Alpha Xavier Ravenshadow…”His name tasted like pure acid in my tongues, I forced myself not to scrunch up my face in disgust. My claws continue to twitch beside me. “To what do I owe this surprising visit, Magnus”He tensed from my tone before stepping out and bowing in a sign of respect.“Before I start, my Alpha, I am just here as a mediator.” “Really?” I licked my lips barely holding Dax back, and the presence of Milo's father was not even helping at all. The relaxed looks on their faces when I came in were gone, now replaced by tight and weary expressions, like a thread was hanging below their neck. I savored their fear, which was oozing like blood from their body. “I was told this meeting was about politics… and to discuss if your pack is still loyal to the circle.”Magnus laughed like an idiot, waving a hand. “Nonsense, I can never betray the circle, my king. Like I said earlier, Alpha Xavier is an old friend of mine, and he insisted on me tagging along
The guestsDamon povI opened the door to see James, my beta standing there, with a face filled with urgency.He didn't need to speak, but his face, I knew that look all too well. And like a coincidence, I remembered why he was here.“You forgot?” he said, like he was stating the obvious I didn’t have to ask what. The moment I saw him, it occurred to me that I had a meeting with Alpha Magnus, an associate and a very good ally.“I have been busy” I replied in answer to his question, already feeling irritated by the mere mention of work.“It's already time, my king. They have been waiting for a while now.” he added, voice in a persuasive mood. Dark Alphas don’t like to be kept waiting.”I exhaled, pinching the bridge of my nose, “Of course they don’t.”The Dark Alphas , like we are called, are the alphas that refuse to be ruled by the council, a group of old mongers that want to take all the powers for themselves. Those of us who spit in the face of council so-called rules. We are wan
The aftermathMilo pov“Heyy”“Wake up…”I slowly opened my eyes, blinking several times to adjust to the soft light around me. I tried to make sense of my surroundings…The ceiling above me wasn’t the sterile, bland paĺe ceiling of the hospital I remembered. This one was desìgned beautifully with faint golden carvings of different arts. My nose twitched, the scent in the room…gods, it was intoxicating. It was easily the sweetest smell I have ever perceived. faint lavender, with a touch of cedarwood. mixed with something unmistakably warm and familiar…"Are you going to keep on sleeping like a pampered pup, or do you plan to move that sorry excuse of a body today?"My eyes snapped fully open.Not because I recognized the rude and snarky voice of my wolf in my head. No, but because… I wasn’t in the hospital anymore.I gasped, shooting up from the bed liie an arrow. I immediately regretted my actions. As a dull ache shot through my back.I froze, checking myself up and down. The plaste
The Thing Inside MeMilo pov The darkness was blinding, but the pain…It was unbearable.I felt my body on a metal shift, as I was being carried like a sack of potatoes to wherever I don't know. But that was hardly my concern.My whole body felt torn, like it was being pulled in two different directions. My skin felt like I was dipped in hot oil, as searing hot pain continued to spread through my body like a pulse.I tried to scream or shout it out, but my mouth was too dry to form a single sound. My body convulsed, or maybe it was just the juggled memories, I couldn't tell again, as I continued to fade in and out of consciousness. Voices buzzed around me, but I could hardly make sense of anything they were saying."He's burning up…”"Stabilize him, now…he is losing too much blood.""His pulse…it's not normal for an omega…"At this point, I wanted to just open my eyes by all means and know which type of hell I was. Even though I had a lot of grievances and unsettled wishes I wanted to

Punishment dayMilo’s POVTwo days later,My eyes opened to the sound of laughter. It wasn’t the kind of laughter you hear when people are happy, and definitely not the type you would ever want to wake up from sleep to. It was the cruel and wicked type.I blinked awake. Or tried to adjust my eyes to the now familiar dark cell that has been my home for a while now. I suddenly regret waking up. As the pain registered in my brain. The pain coming from my backside was mostly gone, but my body continued to ache. My limbs were all stiff, and my back was sore from curling together for a long time, and I was pretty sure I’d been using a rat as a pillow. Fantastic“Sleeping beauty still in bed?” one of the guards cackled up, his mates joining in a thunderous laughter, as the sound of the cell door creaked in the silence. “Stand up traitorous bitch, Today is the day you die.”Their boots covered my vision, and before I could react, rough hands dug into my collarbone jerking me up unceremonio
