Lucian Scanning the faces of the rogues before me, I noticed that they all looked scruffy and dirty. Most were looking at me in shock. They had never encountered real werewolves before. I nodded at Damon. The betas secured everyone with the handcuff specially made for wolves. Emerging from the dilapidated house, I noticed Zaiden and Kyle dragging two other rogues between them. After dumping both on the ground, they looked up and waved at me. "What's this?" I asked the two. "We saw them coming in right after you guys went inside," Zaiden said. "They were bringing in another human girl," Kyle said in disgust. "She looked barely out of her teens." "Where is she?" "She's over there," Zaiden pointed at a tree about five yards away. A sprawled form lay unmoving on the grass at the base of a tree. "She's unconscious but doesn't look hurt. Her breathing and vitals are good. Of course, for a clear assessment, we should take her to a doctor." "Great job, the girl hasn't seen anything,
Alice"I don't want you to deal with this alone!" I protested."I am not alone, Alice. Every Alpha is dealing with this issue. Right now, the biggest danger to us is not the rogues but getting exposed. We can't afford to have information about these human and once-human bodies leak out. It would compromise the security and secrecy of our entire community." Lucian answered the question running through my mind."So, those poor people waiting for news would remain ignorant of the demise of their loved ones. They would never know what happened to them?" "I understand how you feel, Alice. But we are not superheroes. Protecting our pack and the safety of our species is of utmost importance." Lucian insisted. I nodded, still, this felt wrong."What did you do with the bodies?" I asked quietly."We brought all of them here. The exhumed bodies will be autopsied. Each one will be examined. Samples and DNA will be taken. This will help us determine if they were all pure humans before they died.
Olivia ***********************I had never seen a dining room this big. It was like a school or college mess, with better furniture and from the smell of it...better food as well.It wasn't too crowded, which was a relief. I wasn't certain if I could handle mingling with too many people. Meg grabbed one of the seats and gestured me to sit with her. I sat down and looked around at the unfamiliar faces. A good-looking man arrived and sat next to Meg, they sniffed each other and exchanged kisses, which made it obvious that he was her mate."This is my mate, Paul," Meg beamed. Paul smiled at me, then shifted his gaze back to Meg. We were soon joined by Rain, her mate Damon and finally Zaiden."Hey," he said and slid next to me."Hey," I smiled back at him. "I don't see madam Luna, where is she?" I asked, innocently.Rain snorted, and Meg gave a smug smile."Alpha and Luna are preoccupied, when our men return from such raids and killing the rogues they expect a reward. You know what I m
LucianI saw the rogues getting beaten up through the glass panel. Jake my wolf was wildly enraged at them. As each body was unearthed, he had growled ferally and tugged at me to be let loose. All I wanted to do was, go into the holding cells and tear each rogue apart, disembowel, and mutilate their carcasses. That raid was the first of several raids. We saw worse things after that.Only Alice's calming presence kept my bloodlust at bay. Inhaling her delicious scent steadied my beast. Although the desire to extract justice from the rogues was still there, it was not as all-consuming as it was before.Things were settling down into some form of normalcy after the past many days of endless action brought on by the capture of the rogues. All the women rescued were still healing slowly from their injuries. Physically, they were on the mend, but the emotional scars would take time to heal. Sadly, two of the women passed away. Their injuries were too severe, and their organs shut down right
AliceI had woken up to the soft sound of the door closing. Lucian's scent permeating the room confirmed that he was back. I went back to sleep when he proceeded to the bathroom. He usually took a shower before joining me in bed.Lucian has been returning very late these days. Now, laying on my side, I felt his butterfly kisses on my exposed arm. He was in the mood.With a sleepy smile, I turned and opened my arms for my mate."What time is it?" I asked."A little after two in the morning," he nipped my lip before replying."That late?""Technically, it's early," he said cheekily."Is that how it's going to be? Like old married couples? You coming to bed late?" I teased him. "Maybe I should borrow some of those toys which rain has."I bit my lip to keep from laughing out loud at Lucian's shocked expression."What exactly do you girls talk about?" He asked."Nothing special, just things like how to use our time when our mates ignore us." I grinned."I'll show you what happens to a defia
AliceThough, Lucian had dismissed my plan and refused any further discussion about it. I couldn't shake the idea from my mind. The reason I had been hiding my thoughts from him. He would lose it if he came to know that I was still dwelling over it.I was walking through the white hospital corridor, making my daily visit to the injured human women. Initially, all of them feared the guards, so I dismissed them and visited with Olivia. She had been a big help in communicating with those women. As a former survivor of the same ordeal, they connected with her. After days of patiently explaining the situation, they had finally become more accepting.Most of them had submitted to the fact that their old life was now lost forever. They were neither human nor werewolf. They would be easily noticed among humans, maybe even get picked up by the rogues again. Being with the pack was the safest thing for them. They still needed some convincing, though.We walked in silence to the infirmary. It was
Olivia -I stepped out of the cold shower and quickly dried myself off. I walked back into the bedroom, Zaiden had gone out to give me privacy. It was the first time I had spent my night at his place. We hadn't done anything yet, and Zaiden would never force me until I was ready. But sleeping next to him was the most intimate we had ever been.I found my clothes and dressed. I walked over to the window and looked out at the lightning sky. I opened it and a delicious smell of flowers wafted in my nostrils. I shut the window and walked over to the door. As I reached out to touch the doorknob, I almost screamed when the door suddenly opened."I'm sorry if I frightened you." Katherine reached out to touch my shaking arm."I came to see if you wanted to join us for breakfast?""Madam Luna would be there?" "I think so? She is running all over the place, preparing for the celebrations." I followed her out of the door and down a flight of stairs. When we walked outside, I was surprised to s
Alice-I was salivating at the idea of fucking in the woods. It had been a long time since we had done it in the forests. Everyone was excited to go to the party. I took off from the packhouse with the human women. Lucian was either already at the clearing or busy with his wretched Alpha conference. In either case, he wasn't walking with me to the clearing. With the setting sun beating down on us. The pack left in waves. We hit the forest and edged through it excitedly."Alright, I have arranged for a few young men to turn you. They are all perfect gentlemen, but if you feel uncomfortable. Let me know." I assured the humans again.I had decided to dress in a black shift dress which would be easy to remove later. I looked up into the night sky and smiled at the dim moon. It was going to be a beautiful night. Looking around the clearing at the throng of spectators, I searched for Lucian. As if reading my mind, he appeared immediately next to me and kissed me on my cheeks."Hey! You look
