Chapter Two
SERENA'S POVThe loud bang I heard, made me sit up with an impulseI looked around and found no threat. I had been unconscious for who knows how long. My head hurted badly but I didn't realize it until I became calm and was sure there was no threat around meThere were lots of bruises all over my body, and they all hurt, coupled with the memory of what happened yesterday or the day before, I had no idea, it hurt me moreI tried to get up but couldn't, and had no clue on what to doI even tried calling for help, but my throat was soar, even if it wasn't, it was ridiculous trying to call for help in the woods"Argh!" I winced in pain and frustration, then I remembered I had some ointments in my luggage"Thank the moon goddess, my luggage was hung on my shoulders, who knows where it would have been by now" I said with a chuckleI applied the ointment, but my scratches didn't heal, and that got me worried sickI could remember when I tried to mind Link my mom, but it didn't work, I also tried tapping into Jake's emotions, that still didn't work, I also remembered trying to wolf out , when I was falling off the cliff, but I couldn't, and now this?"Could it be that....no, no that can't be possible, it's just my feelings getting the better of me" I said trying to shove off my thoughts Then I laid back to rest, but it seemed the moon goddess had other plans"Grrr!" The sound of a wolf echoed in my earsTurning towards it's direction, I was wowed, it was huge, had sea blue eyes, and it's furs where as dark as the nightI could tell he was a male, an Alpha blood, just by it's structures, and my goodness! it was a sight to beholdI was dazed watching it, until it took one gallant step forward, while I crawled backwardsI guess fear made me forget about my body painsHe moved forward again and I equally moved backwards"Grrr!" It roared again"I...I... I'm begging you, please don't hurt me" I pleaded and moved backwards againWith the next step he took, he was already right in front of me and I just fell flatly to the groundHe sniffed me head to toe, but I just stayed still, ready for the worst, but I was taken aback by his next actionHe licked my bruises and they suddenly began to heal, soon, I was okay I couldn't say thanks, cause in the speed of light, he was goneTHIRD PERSON'S POV"Damn it! Why didn't he just kill her? Why was he helping her?" Clarissa asked no one in particular with a gritted teeth"Hey! Take it easy, she is in the woods, him not terminating her life doesn't mean she would survive, stop taking it too hard on yourself" the witch said, trying to calm her downImmediately Clarissa pushed Serena off the cliff the other day, she went straight to the witch'sThey tracked Serena's movement with the help of the crystal ballThe crystal ball was something only powerful witches possessed, and it was used to see into the past, the future and also the present "Who is that wolf, and what's his identity?" Clarissa asked the witch"How do you expect I Know that? It's not like I've seen him before" She replied"Isn't that why you're a witch? Find out, do I have to tell you everything? Goodness!" Clarissa said almost in a yellThe witch spoke some gibberish words and some incantations, her eyes illuminated and her silk blackish grey hair began floating in the air, without the presence of windAfter some time, the lights disappeared"So...." Clarissa inquired, with a raised eyebrow"Well, I couldn't see his identity, it's hidden, which means he is a very powerful wolf, all I can say, is that he has Alpha blood running through his veins" the witch revealed, making Clarissa sigh"Hhh! That bitch really has to die, that's all I care about" Clarissa said and walked away, all her mind was occupied with, was how to end the life of her sister without it being traced to her"Can't even say goodbye" the witch complainedSERENA'S POVI was walking in the woods all alone, had tried so many times to wolf out, but I couldn'tI had no where to go, and now labeled as a rouge, So I decided to have some rest by a shallow riverJust as I sat down, my stomach grumbled, I looked around and found nothing I could really eat, the whole place was surrounded by trees, they had fruits though, but I couldn't eat thoseSuddenly the idea of fishing popped into my headI was by a pond anyways, I tried thousands of times, but couldn't make a catch, so I gave up tryingThen I took a bath and changed into something I could run comfortably with, cause you never can tell what would make you run In the woodsSuddenly, I began to feel water droplets on my body, it was about to rain and I had nowhere to goThe downpour became harsh, and as if that wasn't enoughI heard the growl of an animal, very close to me, I didn't know what it was, I wasn't ready to knowJust by it growls alone, I knew it was something bigI took to my heels and as though it was waiting for that, it started chasing after me"Holy shit! What in the world is this?" I questioned, as I tilted my head backwardsIt had the structure of a human, had the face of a wolf, and then it had horns, and long sharp clawsI ran as fast as my legs could carry me, but I didn't see the possibility of myself escaping deathI only ran based on my survival instinctJust when I tilted my head to Look towards it, I tripped and fell to the groundIt growled and used one of it's fingers to poke my arm, blood gushed out, but it healed almost immediatelyThe next minute, it's index giant nail was on it's way to my chest, just right at the position of my heartI closed my eyes and submitted myself to deathBlood gushing was the next sound I heard, and I thought I was dead already'surprising how it didn't hurt' I thought"Hey! You can get up now" a masculine voice said and I opened my eyesIt didn't look like the land of the spirits though"Get up before someone else sees you here" he saidI turned right and saw the monster lying lifeless on the groundTurns out it wasn't my blood gushing, and I sighed in relief"Hey! What are you thinking about, I'm trying to save your life and you aren't helping matters" he complained"Where is this place?" I asked"This is the Dark Heart Pack, and you're a rogue, which means you're not allowed here" he responded, like I didn't already know that I was a rogue"Then why bring me to your tent? Why save me from the monster, oh! You want to take me to your Alpha, so that he would cut off my head and add it to his achievement right?" I asked in fear, but made sure to sound carefree, just like a normal rogue would"Will you just stop talking, what if someone hears you, I don't mean to hurt you, seeing you, I already know you're a good wolf, because those monsters are related to the rogues" he said but I just stared at him"Seeing it chasing after you, then I knew you must be different from them, that's why I saved you" he continuedAs though he knew how hungry I was, he offered me a piece of dried meat, I didn't think twice before collecting and devouring it"Thanks" I said and he nodded"Be Careful, if anyone finds out you're here, then both our heads would be rolling on the floor at the Alphas chamber" he warned and I noddedI couldn't trust him, no matter what he said, I didn't plan to spend the night there anyways, what's the worse that could happen?CHAPTER THREETHIRD PERSON'S POV"Hm! She survived the woods, but once again, chose the Wrong location, your sister must have been cursed by her ancestors" the witch said, as they both starred at Serena through the crystal ball"She been cursed or not, is non of my business, How does she keep escaping death?" Clarissa groaned"How did she outrun that ish.. ish.. whatever you called it? Are you even reliable? Cause I am starting to doubt if you're actually the most powerful witch in this region" she questioned"Your sister ran out of luck the minute she stepped foot into The Dark Heart Pack, so don't worry too much" The witch said in an assuring tone, not without a smirk thoughClarissa just sat there starring at her with a confused expression, but suddenly, her face litted up and she smiled ear to ear"The show just got more interesting" she said, still smiling"Yes it did" The witch replied, equally smiling"It's late now, I have to get going, I don't want Jake asking about my whereab
CHAPTER FOURREED'S POVImmediately I got into the bar, a very strong, but nice smell enveloped the surroundingThat was a sign, "Mate" my mate should be somewhere in here, finally, after so many years of waiting and searching, and enduring humiliations from my brother, I found herI was so happy, and eagerly followed the scent, but my smile soon turned into a frown when I saw a drunk and dejected ladyYes, she was beautiful, but I would have loved to see her in a better state"Hey!" I called out as soon as I was close enough, but I got no responseShe was completely wastedI lifted her up and took her home with meThough I had the urge to mark and make her mine as fast as possible, I couldn't as she isn't even aware of what's going onI took her to the room reserved for my mother, and with the help of my neighbor, Cindy, she was cleaned upIn my bedroom, I couldn't sleep, the mate bond was really strong and I lost control of myselfSoon, I was in the bedroom, lying next to herI coul
CHAPTER FIVESERENA'S POVIt had been a week since the incident, and Luna Emily had been of tremendous support to me. Some of the pack members were starting to accept me as one of their own, but to be honest, that one week felt like an eternity. Adjusting to the pack's way of life was challenging. I mean, going from being a Luna to an ordinary wolf in the pack was not easy, but it was my reality now and I had to live with it, without complaints"Hey, Best" Valerie, my coworker and newfound best friend said as she walked into the bar counterYes, I managed to get a job at a bar, the very first place I visited upon arriving at this pack. The particular bar where that perverted asswipe Picked and took advantage of me when I was drunkYou might be wondering why I chose to work there. Well, the reason is because I want to ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions. I needed him to pay for what he had done to me and I believed that he might come back someday, that's when I planned
Chapter SixSerena's POVThe mean nurse I encountered at the waiting room barged into the office and dragged Doctor Frederick out. According to her claims, there was an emergency which he needed to attend to. Of course I didn't protestUncontrollable tears began rolling down my cheeks as I sat there reminiscing about my ill luck, all the humiliation and embarrassment I had to go through all because I thought I was the problemThe urge to scream like I wanted to throw out my lungs was there and I could not resist it. Doctor Frederick and two other nurses rushed into the office upon hearing my cry of agony“What is the matter, Miss? Why are you so pained about being pregnant, if you were a teenager, then I would understand but you're grown up and….“ Doctor Frederick was saying but I cut in“I am supposed to receive this news with smiles, I should have been jumping around and giving out gifts to people, but no, here I am crying. I have no joy in me anymore because it was stolen, they too
Chapter sevenREED'S POV“Jeremy Sa Andreas” Alpha Robert called“Yes Alpha”“You're one of my best warriors, and you know that. I'm sending you on this mission because I have great trust in you, do not fail me” He said and I nodded my head assuringly and said“I give you my word Alpha Robert, I'll do my best to get all the information we need in order to bring them down. I would bring you and this pack great honor” A small smile curved on his lips, showing satisfaction, then he gestured for me to leaveDon't get confused now, let me give you a brief introduction about myselfI am Reed Alphonso, Second son of Lucas Alphonso, Alpha of The Silver Pack. Though I'm the second, my father chose me as the next in line to the throne, but in order to prove my worthiness, he sent me to spy on Robert Gonzales, bring him down and conquer the whole pack. Only then will I be able to Succeed himMy older brother, Craig, wasn't happy about this, though he had always underestimated and made me feel l
Chapter EightReed's POVSo having said all that, here I am. It's very surprising how much of a dumb ass idiot Robert is, considering all the hype he got from my brother, it was kind of a disappointment. I mean,despite all my flaws and mistakes, he never suspected a thing. Oh well! That's a story for another day, right now I need to take a criminal to the execution hall“Jeremy!“ My colleague called out“Oh! Hey man!“ I greeted and he nodded in acknowledgement. He looked like he wanted to say something. I sensed it might be something pleasant“Is anything the matter?“ I asked in anticipation“Don't you think you should be dragging the criminal at cell 56 out to the execution ground instead of asking questions that do not concern you? . The Alpha and the people are waiting” Simon said as he passed by. It came off rude, which was not of Simon's character. Something was off, I could Sense it. But could it possibly be?Anyway,“Got to go, see you later man!“ I said and headed towards the
CHAPTER NINEREED'S POVI began to avoid eye contact, there's no way I would have told her my real mission. Though she was my mate, i still could not trust her with such vital information that could either make or break meShe stared keenly at me awaiting response, while I racked my brain in search for an alibi. No idea seemed to be coming in“Um... *SMACK*” I hit her head with a force that was enough to make her unconscious“Sameer!“ I called in a tone of urgency“Yes Reed” He answered immediately“Jeremy! Sameer, it's Jeremy! “ I corrected and he nodded“Noted. How can I be of service to you?““I need Amanda's presence right away” I informed, and his gaze moved to the unconscious lady lying on the bed. He stared at her for a considerably long time“What are you doing standing here and staring? Call Amanda now, before Serena wakes up” My voice seemed to have pulled him out of his trance“She's... She's.. Look” He struggled to form wordsI turned sharply towards her, and my mouth f
CHAPTER TENREED'S POVI moved behind the Pillar immediately to seek shelter, there was a guard on patrol and I could not risk getting caught. Right now, I was still wanted and I hadn't thought of an excuse to bail myself out, yet.I could see the garden gate, I just needed this guard out of the way. I kept looking at my wrist watch from time to time. He was late again argh! I can't with this guy “Hey man! Didn't you hear? The Alpha has called on all guards to assemble in his meeting room for an address" Julius said to the guard and he raised a brow“Why would the Alpha want to assemble us?“ That was a good question, I really hoped he was prepared for that one “Uh..— “Oh shit!“ I muttered and face palmed —Are you questioning the Alpha's order?“ The guard began to stutter“Um..no..no, I just. Well…”“Of course I don't know why he has called on all our attention, but I think it has something to do with that traitor, Jeremy who helped the witch escape” The guard nodded, his face saying “T
