Max's POV"What?", I blurted out."Yes, Young Alpha", one of the men breathed out. "Gerald's men have been in charge of the barricade construction all along and when the Alpha found out, he instructed us to go there"He instructed me to go there too... Did he hear something already?"And so what is presently making you say that there is an invasion?", I asked."When we got there, we saw Gerald's men discussing with men on horses and...""Get the people into the citadel, now!", I commanded not allowing him to conclude and everyone immediately moved into action. "Someone should mind link the Gamma and tell him what is going on, tell him I said he should prepare the army", I yelled then called back one of the men who brought the news. "Lead me to where they are""Young Alpha! You can't go alone, it's a full army", he protested."We have to keep them busy long enough to get the people into the citadel, there's no time to consider ourselves right now!""Young Alpha""Move, now!", I growled

Narrator's POVEverywhere was completely dark in the woods until the blue precipitate in the area which had been the base of the river of Wolf's Crest suddenly began glowing purple.The purple glow remained in that area throughout the long cold night and finally faded away sometime around dawn only to reveal a muddy soil. It looked perfectly like a river that was just drying up but the miracle wasn't complete yet.Droplets of water soon began shooting out of the ground creating a small crater on the ground and once the crater was expanded in size, the ground began to rumble and quake as a powerful force came from underneath the ground.With a powerful blast, water suddenly sprung forth from the Earth’s surface and shot into the air like rapidly sprouting tendrils. The stream of water soon began cascading to the ground and developed into pools of liquid which gradually flowed together in unison to form a free-flowing river that worked its way through the terrain as though creating new

Max's POVI couldn't feel my legs anymore after only a few minutes of running. I had gotten so exhausted that I had to mentally cut them off. Moving into this daze of hunger was even more difficult than I had imagined.I felt like I was going to drop down soon but surprisingly, less than halfway through my first run, the mental weight on my head disappeared. Moving on suddenly became easier so I kept on moving and moving.'Maybe I will be able to complete this punishment without passing out after all', I thought to myself but quickly reminded myself that it was too early to judge on just the first round.I had already begun nearing the completion of the first trip around the pack when I suddenly noticed that the people were staring at me. Were they surprised to see me out just immediately after recovering?I continued running without minding and started my second trip. The stares got bothersome though and I was even hearing comments like 'It's the Young Alpha'. Was there someone who d

Max's POVI trudged behind my father as we walked back to his private meeting room, slightly apprehensive about what was going to happen next.He had been in a bad mood since hearing that my glowings had to do with Sammie. It was so severe that after some time with the Priestess, he suddenly announced that he didn't believe her since she was only assuming.She had gotten slightly annoyed at that point but still subjected me to some rituals to confirm her speculations. Apparently, my linkage with Sammie was even worse than she had presumed.My chi's line of force was extremely thin as if about to break but was covered by the magic which was what was keeping it from snapping and making its line wide enough to fill the space it ought to occupy. She even said that the line had even snapped on the day I was injured and I had been dying as at when I was brought to her for healing but she was the one who had mended it together.She also revealed that if the line of chi had not been made wide

Sammie's POVI didn't know why Max was so convinced that I was trying to make him fall for me using my powers. Did the supernatural abilities really emphasize our mate bond so much that he would start thinking I was doing it intentionally?What have these powers done? I was so confused and hurt. He never did anything much to hurt me except the occasional slap, yanking of my hair, and pushing me about but his words always hurt so much.I was quite aware that he hated me and thought the worse of me but hearing him say it never ceased to hurt me. Now, he had begun making it his habit to always remind me that he bought me.Why did he have to show up in that inn when he did and see me? What even made him buy me when he obviously had no use for me? He had abandoned me here for so long without coming to see me or asking for anything.I didn't know what I would be able to do with him keeping me here. The area he had confined me to had no single way to exit as the windows which was the only wa
