FAZER LOGINAxel's POVThe anger in me rose to my throat. I was boiling within. I gnashed my teeth when I saw White Wolf.His hands were restrained, and several guards surrounded him as they forced him forward. There were some of his men with him, and they looked just as battered and exhausted. White Wolf suddenly turned his head, and our eyes met.A sinister smile appeared on his face. He slowly raised one hand and dragged his finger across his throat.My blood boiled. The bastard was telling me he was going to kill me.I clenched my fists and glared at him, but he only smiled wider before turning away. One of the guards shoved him from behind, forcing him to continue walking. I remained there, staring after him until he disappeared around the corner."Don't waste your energy thinking about White Wolf," one of the Pishans in the cell beside mine said. "You have enough problems of your own."I turned toward him. "What did you say?"He leaned against the wall and looked at me. "White Wolf wants you
Axel's POV[Despair in prison]Looking at Killian, I felt hope, hope for fulfilling the mission that brought me to Redmoon Pack. Hope for redeeming myself again.The right-hand man to Donovan had taken something vital away from me, and I needed to get it back. I needed to exact my revenge, and Killian's presence gave me that.“There’s a problem,” he said. “We are running out of time and labour, with nobody to take action from the outside. If we call back the Patriarch, we might be able to use his army to get you guys out, but his daughter is dead.”I sighed deeply. I knew that was probably a bad idea. I couldn't face the Patriarch of the Pishan tribe. I couldn't go ahead and tell him that his daughter was dead. It was an impossible thing to do.I was already harboring enough guilt for one day. I couldn't go ahead and add to the pains in my heart. The father's face alone would break me, and the last resolve I had.I looked toward the door. "How long will it last?""How long will what l
Axel's POVAnger and pain burned inside my chest as I stared at Irooh. He had the nerve to show his face after all the betrayal. My eyes shifted from him to Donovan.“You look starved.” Donovan mocked me, his eyes holding a hint of accomplishment. He saw me as a trophy he had won. “Do you need food, nourishment to restore your health?”"Don't tell me what I need." I glared at him.He leaned back. "You seem to have forgotten where you are.""I haven't forgotten anything. You kidnapped me." I roared. “And sooner or later, you'll get what's coming to you.”"Alright, let me lecture you like a five-year-old. We didn't kidnap you, we arrested you." He smiled mischievously. "You attacked us and entered my territory with armed men.""Because you took Hailey." I glared at him."You still don't understand, do you…" Donovan's smile disappeared. “Hailey, Hailey, Hailey. It has always been Hailey. Don't worry, you'll understand soon enough.”Before I could utter another word, his right-hand man st
Axel's POV Pain tore through my body the moment I regained consciousness. I instinctively moved my hand toward my ribs, but the movement sent another wave of agony through me, forcing a groan from my throat. My head felt heavy, my vision was blurry, and every part of my body seemed to ache as though I had been beaten for hours. The Moon Goddess had really given up on me. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling above me. It was white, but the light hanging from it was painfully bright. I tried to sit up, but the moment my body moved, a sharp pain shot through my ribs. "Fuck!" I fell back against the bed and breathed heavily. White Wolf, that bastard had stabbed me. I remembered the cold metal entering my side, the look on his face, and the way he had calmly told me that I had trusted the wrong prisoner. I touched the bandage wrapped tightly around my ribs and winced. So they had brought me to the infirmary. I turned my head and began studying the room. It was larger tha
Axel's POVI was the alpha of Hallow Hades Pack, the one everyone looked up to for direction, the one meant to protect my brothers from harm, and it was so embarrassing that I was the first to go down when Donovan's emissary attacked.My chest tightened. "So you mean to tell me Royce and Killian weren't arrested just like me? Where the hell are they?""No," one of the Patriarch's men finally said. "We don't know. We've not seen them since we were captured.""Are they alive?" I muttered."We don't know, Alpha." The man replied shakily. He felt despair when he stared at me. I was supposed to be like a pillar of hope and a source of strength for them.I turned away. For the first time since waking up, I felt genuinely afraid.Royce and Killian were strong. They could survive almost anything, but that didn't mean they were safe. If Irooh had been tracking all of us, then my brothers could have been captured too. Or worse. I refused to let myself think about it."Then we need to get out of
Axel's POVI felt like I was a failure. I had failed the people that rooted for me, the ones that stood by me and stuck their necks out for me.Disappointment was my ordeal. I let down the comrades that trusted me with their lives. I sold them a dream of victory, of bringing Donovan to book and making him pay for all the havoc he had wrecked, but that dream became a mirage.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the smell.It was damp, metallic, and heavy with something I couldn't immediately identify. My head throbbed badly, and when I tried to move, a sharp pain travelled from the back of my skull down my neck. I groaned and slowly pushed myself up, only to feel cold iron beneath my palms.I looked around. This wasn't where I had expected to be. I wasn't inside Donovan's territory.I had expected to wake up somewhere inside the Red Moon Pack, perhaps in one of Donovan's buildings or even in a hidden room where they could interrogate me. Instead, I was sitting on the flo
Hailey: One Year Later"Two weeks, " I whispered to myself. Two weeks until my contract with Alpha Lucien ended. Two weeks until I was truly free to build a life where no one owned me or controlled me. Alpha Lucien had kept to his words about everything. He had given me protection and in return,
Hailey:"Running won't save you,” the words echoed in my head with every step I took.I had to keep going. I could not wait for Alpha Donovan's people to come and drag me away to a fate that I did not know. And I would not wait until to be rejected again.I would rather die alone in the woods than
Hailey:"I said stop, " Axel snarled. He dragged me through a side door I had not even seen. The room beyond was dark and empty. It was some study or office.He shoved me inside and slammed the door. His massive frame blocked my exit.“Please just let me..”The door burst open again, and Royce and
Hailey:"Do I look okay in this dress?" I asked, as I looked at myself in the mirror.I pulled at the bottom of the dress. The dress was stuck to my body in places I did not want it to be. It showed skin that I did not want it to show.Maddison turned around and smiled at me, her smile did not look
