"Find her."I arched my brow at him. "W-what?""I said, find her!" The man snapped at me. Impatience grew fond of his existence. His perfect deep-set hazel eyes darted in my direction. He was on the verge of killing someone through his stare.Unfortunately, that someone was me.I shuddered. Though he was just a few inches away from where I was incarcerated, I could feel that 80% of my entire shaking was because of his uncalled apparition.Heck, I didn't even know if I should just stare at his perfect chiseled jawline, a few stubbles around his thin but kissable lips, and his well-carved sexy back plus his perfect ass, or just settle with pleading for my life!I moaned inside my head.Damn it, I couldn't concentrate on my scared mode. This perpetrator was too gorgeous to even be hated."I-I don't know what you're talking about—" I lied, shaking my head."Do I need to rip you apart or will you do as I say?!" he cut me off, threatening me.I jumped in terror. "I-I will do it! I will do it!" I abruptly agreed without even thinking about what I just said. I just bit my lower lip and momentarily shut my eyes. I was just hanging on for dear life."Dang you, Gwyneth Hathaway! Why did you agree?!" Grace, my silver-gray wolf, barked at me. She, too, was frustrated as I am right at this very moment."I don't have a choice, Grace. If I oppose, he'd kill me!" I hissed while mind-linking. "Do you have any other idea, huh? Mind you, I'm about to lose my career!"Grace just rolled her eyes and blocked me.Ha! The nerve of this spoiled brat!I was tied behind my back while seated on a steel chair. Beads of sweat profusely came out of my temples and neck. Behind me were my assistants, Cloud and Ephy, both tied with their mouths filled with dirty socks. Ephy was already smothered with her own tears begging to be released.Two other men were just staring at me, waiting for their boss to gavel down the official decree to finally castigate me if I ever try to lie to their Alpha's face.I gulped and stared back at the Alpha who just suddenly barged into my temple asking me to find 'her'.This Alpha is none other than the infamous Devon Guillermo from Black Dew Pack located in New York City. He is famous for his 2-mile-rule border to each neighboring pack. Everyone literally hated him for his ruthlessness and unreasonable bounty-hunting prowess. He liked hunting the Most-wanted rogues all over South America. He would either make slaves out of them or kill them slowly. He is the epitome of a punisher. His methods are creepy and sinisterly disturbing like how serial killers in the human world existed.And now that he was in front of me, I couldn't stop trembling.This man wanted me to find his mate.As a self-proclaimed and well-known Matchmaker in New Orleans, here was I, about to lose my career to this despicable, gorgeous werewolf.I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes. I sighed and looked at him once more. "If you keep on scaring me, my power won't work!" I uttered."What do you mean it won't work? Do you want to die?" he threatened me again. "Find her! Find my mate or you will be stuck with me forever!""Okay! Okay!" I said, resigning. "You need to remove this off my hands. I need to do the ritual so that I can start finding your mate." I rolled my eyes as I was saying this. I just hope he didn't catch a glimpse at it.Devon thought for a second while massaging the stubbles around his chin. After that, he looked at me with a spiteful look. "How can I trust you?""If you're not going to trust me, then why are you here? Hey, Mr. Alpha. I'm a matchmaker, remember? I don't bite," I reasoned, though I was really telling him the truth.Devon nodded and signaled the other guys to uncuff me. Finally, I was free!I looked up at him skeptically. He didn't seem to be the type of guy who believed in fairytales like having mates for life. Oh, well, who am I to judge? Almost everyone in New Orleans wanted to find their mates. This place became the den of love. But seeing a ruthless Alpha from New York come to me for the same matter, it's a bit surprising.Devon eyed me ruefully. "You have a minute to figure out what to do or else, you'll pay for wasting my time!" He gritted at his last word.I smirked. "Hardly! Mr. Alpha, magic doesn't have a shortcut. What is to be done, is to be done.""Then, do it!" He slammed his fists on top of the table while leaning toward me.I jumped again. After that, I decided to close my eyes and breathed slowly in and out. I deducted my focus until I could only focus on a small light inside my head.I suddenly lifted my right hand showing my open palm at Devon. "Give me your hand..." I demanded. When I felt that there was no hand offered on my palm, I took a peek and eyed him. "My 1 minute is running out!" I snapped.This time, it was his turn to jump a little. After that, he decided to put his hand on top of my palm.Then, I returned to closing my eyes. I focused again until I found the same light inside my head.I came there walking until I was face to face with that bright light. I opened my palm and lifted it. Soon after, the light glided and automatically transferred to my palm.The bright light exploded all over the place and in a millisecond, I was transported into a different place.I squinted momentarily because of it. Slowly, the bright light subsided and I was able to adjust my eyesight.When I opened my eyes, I saw an endless hall. The ground and walls were the same red and dark marble element.I gasped when somebody hit my whole body. I shivered and automatically embraced myself. Several deathly hisses whispered into my ear. When I looked up, a dead soul passed through me.I was already inside the world of the dead.I always come here whenever I have matchmaking missions. But right now, I was a bit scared. My resolve wasn't so confident compared to what I had been for the past couple of weeks.I walked further and was looking for a dark pixie soul.Dark pixies are souls of typical pixies after death. They have slimy skin and deformed body parts. As a matchmaker and a witch, I ask for their presence to get some information. With that, I would ask them to change their faces into the mates of each individual coming to me. It was our tradition of ritual that I came to master myself.It was like forever was not enough to wait for this creature to appear. I kept on walking and looking at each soul I pass by.Then, all of a sudden, a fast-walking deathly creature ran past me."W-wait!" I shouted at it.Then, the dark pixie stopped in its tracks.I walked closer to its back while catching my breath. "Dark Pixie, show me Alpha Devon Guillermo's mate! Show me her face!" I demanded.I saw the dark pixie turn its head to me. Then, grinned showing nothing but its teeth full of cavities.Slowly, its face gradually boiling, deforming. The change was fully completed and its face was turned into the mate I was asked to find. That was when I was taken aback by the face the dark pixie showed me.I slowly flinched and shook my head in disbelief. I shuddered at the face the dark pixie showed me."N-no. No, that can't be!""Go back!" I tightly shut my eyes and waved my hand in unison. I quickly summoned my own soul back to my physical body. I gasped and quickly opened my eyes.I came back to my body. I looked at the man who was expecting an answer from me.Devon's face was too hopeful. It was his first time looking at me thoughtfully."So, what now? Did you see her?"I looked away. "I'm sorry. But what I will tell you will not be a good answer...""What are you talking about?"I sighed and momentarily closed my eyes. I even held my temple. Then, I faced him. "Mr. Alpha Devon, you're mateless."Gwy's POVSaying I'm in bewilderment is an understatement.I'm beyond astonished after hearing Devon say those sinister words. Yes, I hereby declare it sinister. What else can I describe this monstrance?! I can't even accept what I saw back in the spirit world. And hearing him say that I'm his ‘perfect’ chosen mate doesn't sit well with me. Not that I don't like it, but that only means I'm never gonna get out of here anytime soon!Back here in my room, I never intend to sleep again. It's still 3 in the morning. I tried to plot out my escape with Grace trying to help me out with the possibilities."Try to go out for now, Gwy. Maybe we can see something here. Like an opening or something. You know... every spell has a crack in a dome. There's no perfect spell in this world. Everything has a downside," she suggested enthusiastically."Okay. Let me check if the coast is clear..." I slowly headed out of my room. I looked at the guards and saw them getting busy talking to each other.I clev
Gwy's POVI gasped for air as I woke up from that dreadful slumber. It took me a while before I could breathe properly. Beads of sweat were all over my temples. When I realized that no one is around, I sighed in relief.At least it's just a dream. It was my first time to be feeling like that in a dream.Scared. Frantically scared to death.I've never dreamt of someone violating me before. I'm a lucid dreamer so I know how dreams work. But this one was different of all the dreams I encountered. It was something ominous and dark. It feels like it has been with me since then that it was awaken from a deep slumber. It was a weird feeling. I still feel the goosebumps coming up behind me.I looked around and noticed that Devon was not around. He must've gone out since I passed out.It was 2 in the morning but I can't go to sleep anymore. I'm afraid that the dream would come again when I close my eyes. I feel so alone.I hugged myself, frantically shaking.Ever since Devon tried to touch me
Gwy's POVWe were silent the whole time when we returned to the Packhouse. I tried my best not to look at him or show interest at that point.I'm still seething in anger for how much Devon made me look stupid. I also blocked Grace for the meantime. I can't help but take grudge on her. How could she leave me there when I was asking her to help me?I was eager to move away from Devon's excessive teasing. But I failed miserably. I hated myself for that.When we finally arrived, I was about to get out of thr car but the door won't push open. I tried several times but to no avail. That's when I turned to him.Devon was looking out the window, silent and unmoving. He locked the car on purpose. He was waiting for a right moment, I could guess. That sight only gave me more annoyance than whatnot.I sighed in defeat and was the first one to open my mouth to speak. "Open the door. I'll wash up and rest...""Not yet, priestess.""Stop calling me priestess. You've already ruined me anyway. Now, p
Gwy's POVDevon immediately got out of the car in no time while I was trying to calm myself. What was that? Was that it?!"Get out.""Huh?""I said get out of the car or I'll drag you out really bad," he repeated in a warning tone.I just got out of the car, grimacing the whole time. When I did, he abruptly left me.I scoffed. This guy is so impossible!I had no choice but to follow him. I stomped my feet until I reached the VIP elevator.I struggled into making a conversation the whole time. What should I even say to him? He completely ignores me the whole time! He's punishing me for all the times I tried to escape. It's obvious.Inside his office, I would look at him while he's doing his work smoothly. I would seldom see him scolding werewolves. Sometimes seeing him slapping idiots for not doing a security check-up on each borderline in New York.I don't even care about his anger issues anymore. I fell so bored the whole time. I became frustrated after finding out that I can't chann
Gwy's POVI whimpered a lot the whole time. Not because I feel so violated by the fact that Devon is kissing me, but because my body wanted it so badly.My body is betraying me. It's starting to abandon my beliefs and my convictions as an Eastern Shaman.Who am I kidding? No matter how much I convict myself with the fact that I'm a Solus Lupus, I'm no better than anyone else in this world. I'm a female werewolf. It's impossible not to fall for someone like Devon.As I tried to know him better with the help of other pack members in Black Dew, I came to realize how vulnerable the female population could be to his charm. And I'm one of the population who would throw myself begging for his touch.I moaned as his kisses deepened. His touch started to travel down to my navel. And just as I was anticipating his next move, he suddenly broke off and stood up. His face gloomed in sweat and disdainfulness."Get out," he coldly said."W-what?""I'm done with you. Aren't you thankful?" He smirked.
Gwy's POVAfter a long day, I headed back on my way to my room.I shouldn't be curious about Devon's family, especially his father, Diether Guillermo, but the way he acted earlier seemed suspicious. He seemed too nice. Too good to be true kinda stuff. But what should I do? I have to figure out something to get the hell out of here. I can't keep on playing Devon's game. I have to do something. Or else I won't be able to find my way back to my temple.My mind was drifting away with these thoughts and suddenly a pair of shoes was in front of me."What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" Devon asked. His rugged manly physique greeted me with awe. I blinked twice. "Where's Deena?""D-Devon? What are you doing here? I thought you'd spend the night at your office," I asked, a bit fazed.He looked at me with a smug on his face and put his hands on his side pockets. "Answer me first.""W-well... I didn't wanna waste my time inside my room so I took time getting to know Black De
Gwy's POVAfter that day, Alpha Devon stopped bothering me for a while. I don't know what to feel, but my spirit is low today.Deena appeared before me with her smiley face. "Miss Hathaway! It's time to take a tour of the whole pack. Alpha Devon ordered me to accompany you. He said that you have to learn for you to formally take over the Luna position," she informed me proactively."Where is he?""Alpha is now working in his office. He's busy during weekdays and sometimes he doesn't go home.""H-he doesn't go home? Then, what about me?" I pointed at myself. Is he going to abandon me here all by myself? Ha! I can't believe him!"Don't worry, Miss Hathaway, Alpha made sure you will be safe with me while he's gone.""I'm not so sure of that Deena. You saw the way that Latina bitch talked to me the other day? She'll do that again now that Devon is not around!" It's not that I'm afraid of that Latina bitch. It's just that she might give me that disgusted stare and all the get-the-hell-out-
Gwy's POVI had no choice but to carry Devon to the tiled floor.He was still trembling in so much pain. I abruptly wiped his whole body. As the drips of water from his body disappeared, so as the flames that surrounded him. But that didn't even mend his suffering. He was still gnashing his teeth in terror.I sobbed while drying him up. "This is all my fault! Devon... I'm so sorry!""W-what did you do to me?" he asked, still in pain."It's my fault! I will let you punish me after this. But please let me help you...""G-Gwy..." He held my shoulder while trembling. "Damn you!""I'll help you, I promise! But we need to go to your room now.""What will you do? Are you going to kill me?"I shook my head. "No! I won't. Please, if I don't put you in your room, everyone will see you in this state!""H-how can I trust you?" Devon grunted in pain as the invisible flame engulfed his whole body."I will take it away. I know a way.""T-tell me... Fucking tell me!"I closed my eyes and quickly gave
Gwy's POVFlashes of scenes rapidly entered my consciousness. It came from a shallow ball of light that I always see as a shaman.These images don't mean a thing to me. They always flash in my mind whenever I am in a deep slumber. But now... everything seems to be connected. I just don't know how it does, but in my recent death moment, I knew this thing would eventually come to me again.Death.I gasped for air. The sound of swarming began to hurdle in my ears. But I cannot move. My head is turning to the dim sky."G-Grace? Grace, where are you?" I suddenly felt alone. My wolf is nowhere to be found. My tears trickle down my cheeks as I shiver.That was when I realized I was in the middle of the sea. The sea of blood."W-what's happening? What's this? Help! Help!" I cried but to no avail. No one was here.Suddenly, I felt many hands touching my arms. Now, they found their way to my chin and neck. I tried to swim away but I couldn't. These hands were too strong.What's happening?"Let
