WITH HER HEAD LYING ON his bare chest while her legs linked onto his body with nothing between but body heat, the two enjoyed the night. The crimson and azure hue embers were peaking beyond the curtains before they could penetrate the drapes that surrounded the messy bed. Gone were the clothes the alpha and the luna were wearing. They lay like trash on the bed’s feet after being discarded in a frenzied state. When a beast was in a rut, propriety was the last thing on their minds. The sheets of the bed were wrinkled as if a storm wreaked havoc upon it, but it was not a storm nor a battle that transpired here – but a passionate exchange of body heat and bodily fluids. It was notable how Diana Ritchell’s scent changed after being marked and mated by Dylan. Diana did not know when she stopped counting how many times they did it. But when they reached the tenth time by midnight, she stopped caring about everything and decided to enjoy her orgasms as she kept on repeating how much she wan

“What happened?” Dylan felt the pain before he could even recognize his surroundings.It was not him who was feeling this unbearable pain. It was his mate!“Diana?” Dylan, though butt naked, stood from the bed. Sniffing the air, his chest reverberated from the growl that escaped his lips. “Diana?”His wolf was on edge. It was asking to be let out.To protect his mate. To destroy what was hurting her. These thoughts occupied Dylan’s mind as his eyes shone with predatory ferocity.He swore that if he did not find his mate right after feeling her pain, he would flip the entire pack house if needed.Bang!The door of the comfort room opened.In a flash, Dylan engulfed Diana’s petite and trembling body in his arms. For a moment, his tensed muscles relaxed as his canines retracted. Dylan was able to stop himself from going wild with his wolf – he was so close to giving in to his primal instinct.Speaking between hiccups and sobs, Diana delivered the gist of the story.“M-My family… the link

As the beta’s daughter, who was born from a strong bloodline, a bond was made with her wolf to the hundreds of wolves in the pack. Growing up, Diana felt that the bond connecting her to her pack mates was both a privilege and a burden to bear – especially those who were related by blood to her parents.It was a privilege to sense the thrumming lives of the people inside her core, but that privilege came with a price. For every death of her pack mates and relatives, the snapping of threads that connected her to them was like a stab of dagger in her heart.One death was like a fleeting stab and Diana could barely felt it back.But now, she discovered in her rebirth that there was another feature. She discovered it when one of the girls she killed during the Tribute was a distant relative of hers.The lingering pain was followed by a sudden sense of knowledge and a memory which only lasted for a fraction of a minute – enough for her to know who died and in what manner the relative died.

“It was you,” said Diana. “All this time that you’ve been good to me and my parents, you are a serpent in a wolf’s clothing! And now you want to arrest me?” The corner of Diana’s lips curled up into one sinister grin. She continued. “Think again.” The next thing they knew, Diana was gone. In a matter of a second, Diana’s white tail was the only thing they had witnessed and she was running fast as the wind. One should not underestimate a mad wolf with a beta’s bloodline – especially when it had the blessings of a nature witch. Anger. Raw and scalding anger. It was all that Diana could feel as she leaped away from the bed chambers of her parents. The loss and the betrayal were too much to bear for her. To think that it happened a day after she had mated with Dylan. Upon the mere thought of her mate, her subconscious immediately shoved the name at the backmost part of her mind. She was too busy entertaining her rage. Diana failed to realize at this moment tha

Seymor wanted to tug his hair out, but he could not bring himself to do it, especially not in the presence of a restless alpha. He did not know what would happen next to his Alpha. Seymor could vividly remember his Alpha’s declaration of braving the storm, saying that he would bring his mate back! ‘Now? Our future Luna is gone.’ Seymor grunted in his mind. “Alpha, may I know what is our next move? We cannot stay here undetected forever.” Seymor, who could not take it any longer, finally opened his tightly closed lips. With the heavy rainfall hitting them, weighing them down, he could not let themselves wander any longer. “And do you think I care? We are not using our reconnaissance yet, but they can’t even detect us! They call them elites? Werewolf Committee is a bunch of weaklings!” Seymor could not contain it anymore. He released a snort to which his Alpha responded by stopping dead in his tracks. Biting his lower lip, his canines prot
