Caelum opened his eyes and was greeted by darkness and the smell of decay, and deduced that he was in the basement. Chains rattled as he moved his arms which were stretched out to his sides and when he tried to move his legs, found that his ankles were bound as well. The silver stung his skin, and the wolfsbane burned, but thanks to his resistance training, it didn’t hurt as much as it was supposed to.Still, though Chase was helping him thicken his skin, he couldn’t quite communicate with his wolf. It seemed as though Chase had faded into the background which was peculiar considering the situation, they were in. His eyes glazed over as he tried to mind-link Luca, but there was interference – wolfsbane.As he racked his brain on how to escape despite the terrible headache, the door swung open and after a click, light filled the room. Caelum bl

 “Master…ah… please… Ma-Master.”Astraea kept begging Noah as he fucked her from behind, putting on yet another show for Caelum. She couldn’t help but moan as he hit a particular spot inside of her and her hatred grew – towards her master, but even more so towards herself.Her moans were for only her Alpha, for Caelum whom she had used and betrayed. The pain in her chest intensified which added to the list of things she should be guilty for, including the fact that he was feeling the same pain as she.“Ma-Master… ah… ah… p-plea…please.”Noah slammed his dick inside her cunt, ignoring her pleas for Araceli. He was high at the moment – the addictive pleasure of her tight walls wrapping around his dick, and Caelum well-aware of eve

 A rogue barged in the door without knocking. He was a panicking mess as he bowed and immediately reported, “Alpha, the Blood Moon pack is attacking us. They have us surrounded.”Noah stared at him in disbelief. “Impossible!”Caelum laughed. “You underestimate me, brother. The pack, and I, their Alpha – we’re no longer weak and gullible as you initially took us to be.”The chains rattled as he flexed his arms and legs. Stretching his neck from side to side, a smirk formed on his lips.“Haaa!!!” He screamed as he pulled on the chains, channeling Chase’s energy for as much as he could with his current state.“Chase,” he called, but couldn’t hear him. “Don’t sleep on me now, you lazy wolf. A

 She roared. Not Caelum. Her life was worthless but not Caelum’s – he had to live no matter what – for Luca, for Melanie, for the pack.She bared her sharp canines at her Master who was staring at her with wide eyes and a slack jaw. The man who caused her more than a lifetime’s worth of torment – the man who would take everything and everyone from her. No more.Amethyst growled, the look of fear in Noah’s eyes pure bliss. He almost killed her – she failed Astraea countless times. She was supposed to be her friend through dark times and good, but she could only hang in a thin thread as the monster kept poisoning Astraea. She held on because her death also meant death for Astraea. And now their mate was dying too – Chase had received too much of the poison in less t

 Caelum finished his meal and decided to shower.Warm water cascaded down his body, no trace of the wounds and injuries he received. He let his muscles relax while his mind was a turmoil of thoughts and his emotions in complete disarray.It was finally over – Noah was dead. Everyone would rest in peace now that the so-called Alpha of a band of rogues had joined them – so why… did it feel like he was missing something important?He pushed the thoughts aside. Right now, he should decide which direction he’d take his relationship with Astraea.For days and nights, it haunted him – memories of Deborah, her betrayal and parting words, and of Astraea, how she was continuously used. He was still undecided, hurt, and confused.
