I looked up at the face of the person. I am sure I have seen him somewhere, but I don't know where.His hands were tight on my throat, and I used my two feet to kick the air. I was struggling to breathe.I succeeded in kicking him right on the chin; he fell on the other side and got up immediately without touching the ground.I formed a fighting stance; I should fight with him for my life rather than sit here and die so easily.I tried changing again, hoping and praying that what they did would not affect me any longer.I started the change, focusing on it one after the other. My hands changed to claws, my clothes tore while I grew bigger, and my teeth became elongated.I am a beautiful white wolf named Nala.He transformed into a black wolf; he was as quick as lightning."I want you to kneel before me, Wolf; his mind linked me."I was shocked to notice that this stranger could do that to me.This further confirms my suspicion that he is from the Shadow Pack. As a daughter of the sha
It has been two days since Stephan rescued me from my little escape gone wrong; that incident made him stay indoors with me till morning.I don't think he got any sleep that day.He will get me anything I ask for and try to read the meaning of every expression of mine.I noticed he has been talking to Liam a lot.I don't know what they are up to; I am too tired and lazy to ask him.I have noticed that people have kept their distance from me since I came back.I suspect that it might be the scent.I overheard someone say that I smell like the Alpha now.Security has been placed all over the pack to prevent me from going anywhere again.He warned me not to ever try escaping; he had to pull power from the mating bond to track me.I wish he knew that he didn't have to warn me again; I won't go anywhere.They have been making plans for a while now, and they have been consistent with them. I don't know what they are for, but I have a feeling I will soon find out.I should enjoy the attenti
Stephan POVI noticed the shock on her face. "What do you mean he is responsible? What happened?" She asked me."When I was a little pup, the packs were fighting for power.""Each of the packs wanted their pack to be the one that controlled others.""Four alphas were fighting for the same position.""They all wanted to be the supreme leader.""The four of them are very strong and stubborn.""My mother wanted my father not to partake in the war.""She was a peaceful and kind woman who doesn't believe in shedding innocent blood for power.""The day she was murdered, she was on her way to see her father when warriors from the shadow pack attacked them.""She thought she could get them to give up peacefully, but that wasn't the case.""She died with the baby in her belly, in a cruel way.""They beheaded her and sent it to my father.""Since that day, my father hasn't been the same man again.""He became a broken man; he had nightmares every night, and he is always complaining o
Clarissa POVWhen I woke up, I noticed that he was still sleeping.I don't blame him; he has not been sleeping much for a while.He looked so serene and calm in his sleep.He is very handsome; I could not deny that.His well-chiseled jawline was very well-defined, and his beard, neatly carved, made him more appealing.I loved his weird eye color—a different shade of green.His face was spotless and glowing.His pointed nose and full lips added to his look and made him drop-dead gorgeous; he looked way better than me. I won't deny it.The urge to touch his face came to me again.I obeyed the urge and caressed his face. I had an amazing time with him. He is an amazing lover and knows how to please a woman.I am a bit tired, but I won't give this experience up for any reason.I touched his eyes and his nose and drew a line on his lips while stroking them.His lips curled in a smile. I must be imagining this because his eyes are shut tightly.I moved my body closer to him and brought my
I woke up very early in the morning to shower, since I didn't last night.I was too tired to shower or even find something to eat when we came back yesterday. I felt happy and content; it must be what happened yesterday.I wish I had told him how I felt; if I say anything now, he will think that it is because of yesterday's action.Well, when we get to that river, we will cross it, I said to myself.That aside, I need to find something to eat, I told myself. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I didn't expect to bump into him. He has been sleeping near me for days, but last night I slept alone. I greeted him happily."Good morning, Alpha.""Good morning, little one, he said, smiling.""Your face is sparkling this morning.""Something good must have happened to you yesterday."I put on a fake smile, hoping that he would drop it. He continued."Was it sex?"I was embarrassed to hear him say that because they turned to look at us, whispering and gossiping.I wish I could beat him; I
Shadow-pack house.Miranda's POVIt has been more than two weeks since I came to see my father because he summoned me.He has been stalling my going home.Something about my safety; he said that staying in the shadow pack would guarantee my safety.He refused to give me details; the only thing he said was that she was still alive and well.I don't know what he planned this time around that failed him.I don't blame him, though; I am not there again. I would have helped him if I was there.Everything is always about that peasant—the prettiest, the smartest, and the strongest—they would go on and on.Yes, my dad supported me, and my mom started supporting me at some point, yet some people won't just shut up about her.Clarissa will make a great leader. She is so pretty, she is so kind, and she is strong. I saw her beat a bully. I have a crush on her. I pray the moon goddess makes her my son's mate.The list goes on and on. I know you all must be judging me; if you were in my shoes, you
The day has finally come; we will be going to shadow pack today.We arranged for a few men to stand by in case things got worse.I know Clayton; he is a sneaky bastard.We have to be very careful when handling this situation.We will break our agreement with him; finally, I have a reason to declare war on him. I have not forgiven him for what he did to my parents. Clarissa doesn't know anything yet; I will have to keep it that way. I am afraid of what will happen if she finds out the truth. I can't lose her; I don't want to lose her. I closed my eyes, remembering the sweet moment we spent together. I remembered vividly what happened last night—being together as if it were our last.I can't wait to be with her again. She fills my soul. I never thought I would be capable of love until I met her. I isolated myself for years, tormenting myself. She is right about one thing: 'Love makes you stronger.' My love for her makes me stronger, and I will protect her with my life. "Alpha
Chapter 22We fought our way through; they were ready for war. The news has spread that I am here, so everyone is getting into a position to fight me. I heard a voice saying to the guard, "Don't let him get here; see to it that you stop him." You might be wondering how I can do that—how I can eavesdrop on their conversation. It is because of who I am that I can do that. The moon goddess gifted me with great powers; I don't know why. All I know is that when all seems lost and I am at the point of death, about to cross the bridge between life and death, I am resurrected, fully charged with powers and strength unimaginable. I know that is why people are afraid of me; they should be. I have looked at death, I have seen his face, and I have lived. I have gone to the other side and come back. I am not afraid of anything. That is why I am confident that I won't be defeated by a mere alpha. I am 100 percent sure that that is Clayton's voice. The slimy bastard thinks that he can prote
