Fred must have thought that I'd change my mind because he immediately yanked me forward, leading me out of the palace."We're not going to take the regular gates, the guards will definitely be stopping us," he said.I wondered what I was supposed to do.All of this was happening too fast. I hadn't even had time to experienve my bond with him.Fred helped me through a small exit I'd never seen before."This doesn't feel right," I said, " I don't even know where I'm headed.""You're here with me so don't worry about a thing I will make sure we get to our destination safely." I looked back over the fence as we hurried through the grassland. Tears streamed down my face. I didn't know what he was going to feel but it was best for him. It was clear he would choose me over his title any day.We kept walking through the night and it got to a certain point where I felt like my strength could no longer bear it.Fred didn't realise I was no longer going on behind him for a good minute.He looked

I slowly brought my eyes open. My ears still hurt, I sat up in pain and tried to figure out where I was. I was surrounded by nothing but stones.The only source of light was from twigs that were burning in the center of where I was. Looking at the exit, I realised this was a cave.Alpha crouched at the entrance, walking in with more twigs."You're up," he said, not bothering to look at me and focusing his attention on the fire and adding the new gathered twigs to it. He was shirtless, his hair packed up in a bun and his black pants hung against his skin.My eyes trailed up his back. He had scar marks all over him. My heart dropped. He must have hurt himself when he saved me.I was glad to know my hearing was back by now."You're hurt." I said in a low voice, he still paid no attention to me."Why did you come?" I said after a while of maintaining silence, "if you didn't, Fred wouldn't be dead now.""He's not dead," I could hear the anger in his voice."You killed him." I reminded him,

As I was pulled into a corner, my fear was that I was about to be kidnapped for a second time. The relief that washed through my face when I saw that it was none other than beta Locks. I bowed my head at once, “beta, do you need me?” “I’m glad to see you’re back.” “You are?” I wondered. He nodded, “I wanted to talk to you but after what happened, I cannot be seen with you alone.” I was still at loss but I nodded. He suddenly tilted my neck and I widened my eyes, why was he acting like he wanted to mark me. I noticed he was inspecting for something. He sighed, causing me to put my hand over my neck, “is something on my neck? What's wrong?” “Listen, there’s a lot that’s going to go down sooner than later but I want you to not panic. You don’t know it but-“ he trailed off scratching the back of his neck nervously. “From tomorrow, I want you to meet me in the garden, I’m offering you personal training lessons, I don’t think you have any skills when it comes to defending y

Damian povI turned her around, keeping my hands on my shoulders, being so close to her always reminded me how tiny she really was. I pulled her backwards a little so her back was leaning against my chest, “if you don’t want to learn about arrows? Is there another defensive skill you want to learn?”“I just want to know why I’m doing any of this,” her small voice called out in what was almost a whisper. No one except from her would dare to demand an explanation from me, and no one but her would receive one. “You’re not just any ordinary wolf,” I told her, “you have something that’s been extinct for a long time. You are a healer.”“What?!” I couldn’t see her face but I could imagine her confused expression. “Healers have been extinct for years, it’s a blessing and a curse and every pack would want to have you for themselves, news spread, hence, the need to train to protect yourself.” She turned around to face me, “how am I a healer?”I ran my fingers through her hair, being this clos

Although I had hoped that it wouldn't come but the king stirred, "I have to leave now, my entourage will be here soon and I'm going to be later if I don't leave now."His eyes scanned my body, "it's hard to resist you, I could spend the entire day fucking you."I tried so hard to hold the blush in as he got to his feet to prepare for his meeting.I did the same, adjusted my hair and slipped my clothes back on.He needed to change into his official robes and so I had to leave before anyone showed up.I was barely out of the room when I jumped into Natalie.I hadn't thought about having to deal with her."So you really are back? I thought they were nothing but rumors." She folded her arms across her chest. I told you to stay out of the Palace," she lowered her voice as though she was expecting someone to be listening in on our conversation.I bowed my head at her to keep my respect."I left like you said, and you said you would handle it, but I don't think you did good job otherwise the
