As she reminisced in pain about her life, hurried footsteps drew her attention back to the present. Scared, she curled, drew closer to the shadows of the walls, and tried to make herself as invisible as possible. However, pain ignited all over her body as she did so, making her let out a strangled whimper. Her body was completely bruised and was not healing as it should have since she was a werewolf, but that wasn’t a surprise for her since she was a late bloomer and had yet to shift. But she wasn’t sure if truly she was a late bloomer or she was just unfortunate not to have a wolf. Though her family tried to hide it in their pack that she was yet to shift, one way or the other, it got out, which was also one of the reasons they were treated harsher than they were supposed to be treated. But she was already used to it. Shaking her head, she brushed aside her thoughts and tried to listen to what was happening around her while anxiously awaiting what was coming next. However, afte
Dante POVI was furious, ranging in uncontrollable anger the moment I stepped into the dungeon and smelt her blood in the air.Before I knew it, my Lycan had taken control from me and dashed towards the person who had attacked her and tore him into pieces without care.Just a minute later, and it would have been too late.Too late to save her.Shredding him had no effect in calming my Lycan, and as I was about to go berserker and look for my next victim, the sight of my mate falling backward, thereby bringing me out of my raging state.I rushed toward her before she could hit her head on the floor and caught her in my arms.Seeing as she was unconscious and hardly breathing, fear gripped my heart, and I called out for someone to call the doctor without having it in my that I could contact him through mind link, which was faster.However, that didn't cross my mind. I was focused on her breathing and hoped she survived as I hurriedly carried her out of the dungeon and straight to my cha
Audree's PovGrowing up, the burden of inheriting my mum's powers had been on my shoulders.Burnes I never wanted or asked of in the first place.My multiple abilities started showcasing themselves when Mother was still unconscious, and I had foreseen her waking when I was at the age of five, six, or seven; I can't really remember what age I was then.Then the next was hearing animals talk, at first to my younger self, it was pretty fun because I had lots of friends to talk to and was never bored, but as I grew older, I found it annoying because I had to hear everything talk around even when I wanted quietness. Especially when I had not learned to control it and had to listen to animals, even insects talking. I grew to hate it and also didn't find any use for it.Other abilities I discovered were the ability to control elements such as air, water, fire, earth, and so on.Then on my sixteenth birthday, I developed physical enhancement like Mother did. I completely changed into a younge
He does not want me… He does not want me… He does not want me… Those were the words that kept repeatedly ringing in my head and mind. My Lycan could not take the thought of him not accepting us and began howling furiously in my head. I could care less about how she was feeling because I was feeling exactly the same way and was instead trying my very best to keep my composure. However, no matter how heartbroken I was at the moment, I could not help but wonder what his business was in the bar and his identity with the way men in black surrounded him. As I fought the feeling of being rejected and my curiosity about my impending mate that seemingly had no interest in me, a shadow of someone befell me from behind. I became alert at the sudden appearance and dangerous aura I perceived coming from the individual. I let out a warning growl and was ready to take action if he tried to attack me. “Miss, sorry to rudely walk up to you without warning, but my young master would like to see
DANTE'S POV They say when a Lycan loses his mate, he loses himself, also. His soul downs into a pit enshrouded in the darkness of despair and pain, and what emerges back to the surface is a beast. A beast that will kill anyone that stands in his path. A beast that will destroy everything destroyable. He would destroy cities and overturn empires. Armies will try to stop him, but his terror will be greater than the combined force of millions of werewolves. They are no match for him, for they do not understand his pain. When a werewolf loses its mate, it can mark another. However, a Lycan only has one... One mate. One chance at eternal happiness. The one chance of happiness that was on the verge of slipping away from my hold. Seeing as the life support that was attached to Divya was sounding erratic, no matter how Aunt Alexa tried to work her magic on her, indicating that her life was slipping away, I let out a heartrending howl that shook the entire palace walls before losing
Understanding my unsaid words, he immediately replied, "Ye...yes, your majesty", before cutting off the link.I increased my pace toward the west-east gate and could take in his scent again within a few minutes.However, I stopped as I felt myself stepping on slightly slippery ground. Taking a deep breath, the scent in the air I had previously missed as I was too focused on locating Dante's scent hit me a hundredfold.Blood!The pungent smell of blood was thick in the air.My hands shook slightly before I folded them tightly and slowly walked forward, scared of what I might see.The more I walked forward, the more I dreaded what scene I would encounter ahead.However, I braised and prepared myself to take drastic actions if necessary.On getting to the open field, I knew it was too late.I was too late.Shredded bodies lay everywhere across the field. Everywhere I looked, I would see a part of the human body.The sight before me was so gruesome that I went on my knees.It was a bloodb
Knowing how terrifying the scene before her was, I had no word of comfort for her. Besides, at the moment, all I could think about was my mate's current predicament. "Oh my goddess! Brother, your hand!" She rushed to my side immediately when she finally noticed it."It's nothing. Don't worry about it. it will heal." I responded calmly, unconcerned about my disabled arm. "B...but brother, it's not healing as fast as it should. Let's get it checked up at the clinic." She urged, trying to get me to leave the field, but I didn't bulge and instead said, "Alexa, don't worry about me. I'm not leaving here until I'm sure she will be alright." As I spoke to her, my eyes didn't flicker away from my mate and son for even a second. I focus entirely on them, watching out for any abnormality so I would take action immediately."But how can you be able to do anything in this state? You need treatment!"Giving her a stern look, I cut her off without saying anything.Right then, my injury was the le
"Do you know why the Alpha refused to accept his mate? Do you know why he refused to tell them who she was? It was because she was a spy sent by their enemy to infiltrate the pack. When he found out about it, he wanted nothing to do with her and sent her far away from him with a note that if they ever crossed part again, he would not hesitate to end her life, not considering that they were mates. That was why he made no effort to find her. He was a man of his word, and he was scared that if he got to see her again, he would be unable to keep his word." Taking a deep breath, I tried to focus on where he could be in the darkness before continuing. "Though he was hurt, he still tried to put the thought of his pack before his own needs. He thought he was doing the right thing. The Elders were finally able to locate who and where she was and set out to bring her back with them to the pack. However, they were met with a totally different situation when they got to her location. His enemies
