Semua Bab Echoes of Hate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

ARIA.This past week had actually sailed by smoother than expected.In the public's eye, Dane and I were a couple who grew closer each passing day0. If only they knew the truth. He took every opportunity to remind me of my place here in the pack. It was by name alone.Bex and I grew were actually growing closer, developing our own friendship. I hated that there were things I wasn’t allowed to share, but I’d never risk my sister. Even if it meant that I ended up alone.Shopping wasn’t as fun for me as it was for her, but we had a good time. There were actually quite a few stores in this pack that I found great selections at. It was much better than at my old pack. Unfortunately, Alpha Dane had thought ahead and made certain that any store we went to wouldn’t accept payment and would just bill him instead. It had the females swooning because my mate wanted to provide for me. Why couldn’t he just let me do one thing for myself? Was it too much to ask for? I hated feeling indebted to any

FINCH. “What happened?” Dane demanded.Bex and Adam were next to arrive. Dr. Dania followed closely behind and dropped down next to me.“That’s what we were just getting to.”My mate gasped when I was told to remove the shirt so that the wound could be examined. I couldn’t look away from the wound that still hadn’t slowed its bleeding despite the pressure that I was using. Whatever caused it must have had some type of properties that would stopped or delayed her wolf from healing it.Dr. Dania leaned down so that she could sniff the wound.“Interesting,” she murmured.Her finger grabbed a drop of blood, holding it up to the light. It looked like there was something metallic there.“Lollyreed. I haven’t seen it used in this area because it’s local to Southern Texas. It’s a poison that’s similar to wolfsbane but doesn’t cut you off from your wolf. That’s precisely why it’s used in drugs because it’s even more potent since the effect hits both human and wolf alike.”We all knew what Loll

ARIA.My eyes were heavy when awareness began creeping back in. Luckily for me, the lights in the room were dimmed when they finally opened.I attempted to move and immediately regretted it, groaning as pain flared up.“Oh, Aria, you’re finally awake.”Relief was written all over Bex’s face. Her eyes were red, clearly indicating that she’d been crying.“Are you okay?” I asked her, concerned that something serious happened.She looked at me like I had two heads or something.“I should be asking you that! Goddess, I’ve been worried about you. Do you remember what happened?”My brows furrowed at her question.It took a minute before the memories surfaced. From being lured out into the woods to being frozen in place to then being attacked and left to bleed out. I remembered Gamma Finch finding me and Alpha Dane carrying me to the hospital.Then there was nothing after that…“The attack and being brought here before everything went black,” I told her.My eyes looked over what I could see of

UNKNOWN. I watched the screen as the Luna did her stretches, loving the way that her ass looked in those tights.It was hilarious that they still hadn’t realized just how close their enemy was, just how easily I could get in and out without a trace.Who needed superpowers when I had intellect and cunningness on my side?My teeth dug into my lip as desire coursed through me. Fingers tangled in the blonde’s hair as I shoved her head down my cock, not giving two shits that she was struggling to take me. She was the one who came to me, shaking her hips to entice me.Don’t tempt the predator if you didn’t want to be hunted – if you didn’t want to destroyed.I kept my focus, not on the bitch with her lips wrapped around me, but on the Luna who would belong to me whether she liked it or not. I could already imagine what she’d feel like as I rutted into her tight cunt. She’d still be a virgin when I got my hands on her if things kept going the way that they were. I wanted to be the one to cla

DANE.I groaned as a bright light shone in my eyes, waking me right up. It took me a few moments to get oriented. Then I noticed that I must’ve fallen asleep leaning against a tree that was overlooking the falls. This was one of my favorite locations in the entire pack. It’d always been a place that provided me with peace of mind when I so desperately needed it.The vibration of my phone broke the serenity of the moment. I turned my alarm off and ran a hand through my hair. I leaned my head against the tree, wondering when my life had gotten so fucked-up.‘Poor, poor, pitiful Alpha,’ Jericho cooed, voice dripping with mockery. ‘Oh, no. Whatever will he do? He’s got a strong pack that he reigns over. Loyal members who follow his commands. Booming businesses that provide for the lifestyle that he wishes to give them. Friends. Oh, and don’t forget a mate that he treats like utter fucking shit,’ he snarled at me. ‘You know, Finch was half-correct last night. She is the best fucking thing
