TERESA "How am I supposed to rule anything without a damn wolf?" That particular voice jolted me out of sleep. I didn’t open my eyes right away. My body was still aching like it had been dragged across hot gravel. Every muscle in my body felt so tender and my head pounded heavily. My mouth was dry again but it was not just the physical pain that weighed me down. It was the sound of Keller’s voice. He didn’t know I was awake just yet. His voice was low like he was almost whispering to himself. “My wolf is gone,” he muttered. “ It's gone! It just vanished like he was never there. Now, I can’t shift. I can’t even feel him like he is still there. There’s nothing. Absolutely nothing!” He exhaled like the weight on his chest was too much for his lungs to hold. The chair creaked as he leaned forward. He was still shaken by the loss of his wolf. I could hear him wailing and licking up his wound. “What kind of Alpha loses his wolf?” he asked the air. “What kind of leader wakes
TERESAThe next day came quickly even though I prayed countless times that it never came. The truth is, I didn't know how to begin my day. I was so scared to my bones to show my face to the brothers, and on the other hand, I was trying to stay out of my mother's sight. Out of so much deliberation, I decided to stay and hide in here. "You look terrible,” Keller said the moment I opened my door to let the both of them in. That was not a “good morning.” It wasn't working even a “how are you?”I blinked at him, slow and disoriented, because I didn’t know what day it was. I barely knew my own name. Everything in my body felt like it was dipped in dry mud. My tongue was dry and my head was floating somewhere near the ceiling. “What time is it?” I asked and my voice sounded like I was croaking. “Too late for you to still be hiding in this cave,” he replied, walking past me. Bennett followed quietly, his eyes scanning the space like he expected something to jump out at him. He look
TERESAI couldn't entirely leave even after I was sent out because I could feel the pain of my mates. Did they think I could just walk away from him like he meant nothing to me?I bit my tongue the moment the words slipped out but they were already out loud in the air. Even though I was still in deep confusion, everything was going smoothly but in a flash, it turned into a raging chaos. Right now, I was standing by the damn door even after my brief conversation with Keller. I was still hiding in the shadows like I was some uninvited person because I knew I should have left after Bennett shifted back. I knew I was pushing my luck. But the bond! My God, the bond kept tugging at me, clawing at my chest like it didn’t care that I was supposed to move on.My mate was hurting and that meant I was hurting too.Everything was quiet for a moment and I quickly held my breath.Inside the war room, Old Alpha Brock’s voice snapped through the silence like a whip. His voice was cold, commandi
TERESA"He's going to kill someone if we don’t stop him now!" I thought aloud and I didn't even realize that I was shouting.The situation was getting out of control and it was getting really worse.My throat burned so bad that I thought I might cough out fire. My palms were slick and my heart was not just in my chest anymore, it was in my mouth!Bennett’s wolf was thrashing across the hall like a raging storm loosed from its cage.What the hell was happening? This was getting too much to handle!Bennett's wolf growls shook the walls and his claws carved deep scars into the floor, scattering blood and splinters in every direction.So many guards circled him, trying to keep him down with their weapons drawn out.Their eyes were wide open, unsure whether to strike or stand down. As if that was not enough, Keller on the other hand was kneeling barefoot.His hands pressed to the floor as if trying to draw Bennett’s humanity back with everything in him.“This isn’t working,” he muttered t
Teresa's POV “Strip and kneel down, Teresa” Keller ordered in an indifferent tone.We were at a big room with a queen sized bed. I wasn't sure where I was but my guess was that it was one of the alpha's room. In as much as I wanted to beg, I knew talking would only make things worse so I kept quiet and did as I was told.I stripped and knelt down facing my mates, my cheeks were red from embarrassment. I had never been with any man or men before, I was a virgin in every way. I was worried about what they would do to me but somehow my body felt relaxed and even turned on.“Suck all three of us off on your knees” Keller added as he sat with the other two on the bed edge.I wanted to say I didn't understand what he meant but since I wasn't allowed to speak, I ended up gesturing with my hands “Speak… What is it?” Lynch asked.“I’m a vir..virgin. I don't know how to do that…” my voice came out timid and shy than I intended, my cheeks were hot from blushing, I felt so embarrassed.“Come clo
Teresa's POV “No” I whispered as I shook my head in shock and staggered backwards as soon as I heard him. In a flash, I was being held by the guards and they began dragging me away while I trashed wildly. I couldn't stay quiet anymore, not when death was on my tail. “Please… don't kill me, please” I pleaded while tears trickling down my face like a waterfall. No one said anything, they stood still with their faces turned away, an indication that I was all alone.“I promise not to tell anyone, I swear on my life. I will do anything you ask, please. Mother...” I continued begging but it fell on deaf ears. “Shut your mouth hole, don't cause a scene or I'll kill you right here and now” Brock barked at me with killing intent in his eyes. I immediately stopped talking as I was taken away. Perhaps this was my final destination… I should accept my fate and let them kill me, I didn't have a choice anyway.I was taken down the stairs to a basement that looked like it housed the lives of ot
