"Can you stop pacing? You're giving me a headache"
Adrian rolled her eyes "Are you glued to that chair? You can leave whenever you want to"
"But I'm bored. Reed's not here so I can't leave. Entertain me"
"I might not be your Alpha but I'm still an Alpha. Say something like that again and I'll dislocate your jaw"
Laurent shrugged "It will be worth it. Why are you feeling nervous?"
"I don't know. I woke up feeling this way"
"Maybe you just miss Reed"
She snorted. As if she'd ever miss that blockhead. He was lucky she was not Clarisse or she would have shaved both their heads. Adrian couldn't understand why they thought Clarisse was the mysterious killer they were looking for. No, the question was why were they looking for the killer to begin with? They'd only killed witches, rebels and rogues. Unless it was to tha
So Adrian and Laurent. Do we want something to happen between them? And who knew he had a crush on her? Cute.
"What's wrong?" "That was a call from Laurent. Rebels attacked the pack and Adrian got hurt" "Oh my gosh, is she okay? Let's go. If they try to stop us from leaving, we will just run them over" He chuckled "Relax. They can handle themselves. Adrian has had Alpha training. She'll be fine" "She's still your sister. What if she dies from too much blood loss or head trauma? Aren't you worried?" "She's a wolf. Besides, she only hurt her leg not her head" "Call her. I want to make sure she's fine" "You should use that time to worry about the king and the mysterious servant. Haven't you noticed how everyone is acting normal?" "And it's a bad thing to act normal?" "The king passed out yesterday. We haven't seen him since then or a doctor for that matter. How can they act normal?"
"Lieutenant, what is this I hear about stopping the experiments?" He asked slapping his shoulder. The man stiffened, straightened up and said,"Without Kent, the research is going nowhere. He ruined everything""We've succeeded before and we can do it again""But...""But what?" He growled, letting his wol close come close to the surface. Setbacks were perfectly normal in any research. He could forgive their slow development. After all, they were humans. What he wouldn't forgive was quitting. They either saw it to the end or he would get rid of them "There is no such thing as giving up, Lieutenant. You either succeed or die. Are we clear?""Y..yes""Good. I want to see results in two weeks" spinning around, he left. The research lab had been on the verge of succeeding when one of the humans suddenly lost his mind. He killed everyone, including other subjects then set the place on fire. Armadyl said he'd di
"Tell me everything" Clarisse said plopping next to Adrian "I've never seen wolves fighting. How was it? Did any of our people die?" "Have you forgotten how you fought rebels on your own?" "About that, it turns out I wasn't the one who killed them. Titania and her enforcers did it" "You mean your enforcers?" "Something else I want to know, is there like an official ceremony when someone becomes an Alpha?" She shook her head "Not that I've heard of. As long as the pack accepts you as their leader, you automatically become one" "That's not the answer I wanted. This directive thing is the only cool thing about being the leader of a pack. The responsibilities that come along with that title are not cool at all" she narrowed her eyes at Adrian then clapped her hands "I've just had an epiphany" "I can tell it's something I
His eyes flickered with annoyance. Reed regarded the wolves in front of him, waiting for them to tell him why they were in his territory. They weren't exactly on good terms. When he'd taken over Bloodrose, Alpha Heisenberg, Dayholt and Thindrel had refused to form alliances with him, claiming he was a pup who had nothing to offer them. A few years back they'd changed their minds but he'd sent them away with the same response they'd given him. They had nothing to offer him. Now here they were again and this time they'd come with more Alphas."Gentlemen, why are you here?""Let's talk inside, pup" Heisenberg said annoying him further."Don't order me around in my own pack. I decide if you come inside or not" he'd already shown them enough courtesy by not killing them on the spot. Visiting someone's territory without a heads up could be seen as a challenge. No one would say a thi
"You think or you are?""I can't be sure. It just occurred to me that I haven't had my period since I came here"He sniffed her then shook his head "I don't think so, darling""How do you know? Have you ever been pregnant?""No. But pregnant she-wolves smell different. I'll be able to tell right away if you get pregnant""Oh, really?" She hadn't thought about that. How did they smell different? Although the question should be why she hadn't had her period for close to four months now. Didn't werewolves have periods? Better ask Adrian "Continue your work then" she tried to leave but found herself being dragged backwards."Not so fast. Now that you mentioned it, I would like to see your belly swelling with my pup""What? No. It's too soon. We can't have kids now""Fine. I'll settle for being inside you then"
"Alpha, Sanders and a few other Alphas are taking out rebels" "Sanders?" Indrik asked, surprised. He would expect that stubborn mule to be the last person to turn against the king. Had he finally come to his senses? "Are you sure Sanders is among them?" "They say it was his idea" "I wonder what's gotten into him" the nicknames he'd gotten over the years were from his stubbornness in executing the king's orders. He didn't stop to think if what he was doing was right or wrong. After the appearance of his niece, Indrik thought that he could pardon him on the account of Clarisse. She at least deserved the happiness her mother never had. Now that he'd decided to turn against the king, maybe they could work together and get rid of that vermin. Other wolves were too blind to see it but he, more than anyone knew the nature of Mikain. After Ursula's death, he'd gone to the pa
"Your highness, you're back. How was the trip? Did you have fun? Where's Adrian?""Out of my way before I punch you""Let me carry that for you" Eilie glared at him, making him fold his hands behind his back "Or not""Where's Reed? He should have been waiting for me at the entrance""Your mate is a busy man""Busy with what?""Aside from being an Alpha, he's also the king's man. Before you arrived, he was rarely in the pack""Are you saying I was holding him back from his duties?""No. I mean that he probably reverted back to his workaholic self when you were gone. Are you guys hungry? There's food in the kitchen""This nice act is creeping me out Laurent. Don't you, as the Beta, have things to do?""I'm trying to be nice but you don't appreciate it" he huffed, leaving. Cl
"Where is the rebel's hideout?""No one knows""What do you mean no one knows? So where did Reed go?" She wanted to pull her hair out. How could he have left without a word? She wasn't just anyone. If anything happened to him, she would be hurt the most. Why didn't he at least tell her he was leaving? Some mate he was. Would anyone blame her if she walked away from him? Keeping her in the dark was the most selfish thing he had ever done. When she had decided to stay with the witches, hadn't she called him so he wouldn't worry?Even though she was thinking of leaving, she still called him. And they hadn't been in a relationship then. Now that they were, he couldn't tell her he was leaving? She regretted coming up with that plan. She should have realized something was fishy when he told her to sit out the meeting. When he came back, they would have to start all ove
