As he walked away from Ellie’s temporary home, Jengo was just seething. It was not that he was angry at Ellie- though he did feel quite agitated from their exchange a bit earlier- as it was more that he was mad about himself. The reason being…‘This wasn’t how it was supposed to go… It wasn’t supposed to turn into an argument.’The way Jengo had planned it out after he woke earlier today, he hoped for their interaction to end with them starting off on the right foot. After he took that well needed nap, the Beta thought over what happened last night, and came to realize that Ashina may be a bit right about their treatment towards Ellie. At least, in his case, he may have been unfair to her.Surprised as he was to find that his long-fated mate was that of his own boyfriend’s, the one who must’ve been most surprised by this revelation had to be Ellie. She was just one werewolf, yet she was fated to have two mates? That must’ve come as a shock for her as it did for him. And yet… without e
With William, now that the meeting with the advisors and best fighters was over, he hastily returned to his office to get his remaining work done. He did promise Jen they would stargaze later tonight. Sadly, with the accidental death of the late Tony, the Alpha got more work dumped on his plate. Not much extra work, but still enough to keep him busy regardless.Thankfully, although death amongst the members of the pack would’ve made a huge fuss in any other group, in the Devorare Pack where ruthlessness was pretty much the norm? And there would be no mercy upon those who even showed signs of betraying the pack? Not one werewolf batted an eye when word got out of Tony’s unfortunate passing. If anything, from what William caught word of, there were some who were relieved that the guy was dead. From what he overheard, he had been causing too much trouble amongst them as of late, only behaving himself when William or Jen weren’t around. It seems there were some who wanted to report Tony’s
Meanwhile, in the Hermit Pack, things have been quite… ‘busy’ in that pack since William abducted/saved Ellie. ‘Busy’ as in people have been moving about nonstop in the pack. Whether it be doing patrols around the area or with their training. Not once have any of them had any rest, be they Omegas, children, or even the injured from their encounter with William. All the constant moving was leaving them all quite fatigued, with some lying on the ground unable to lift a finger, mainly the kids.“How is progress coming along with the trainees?” Steve asked a combat instructor, his right side now missing an arm, with the shoulder heavily wrapped and covered in bandages.“Depends on the sort of progress you’re looking for,” the instructor coldly answered, gesturing to the training ground… where many teenage werewolves were either on the ground in exhaustion or struggling to stay on their feet in some way.“This exhausted?” Steve questioned, feeling pity for these werewolves.“What’d you exp
Upon hearing Maddie granting her permission, Steve let himself into her house. While there was no change to the interior, the atmosphere within spoke otherwise, as Steve saw Maddie in the living room with her parents and a couple of elderly werewolves.“Steve! Just the werewolf we’d like to see,” a female elder exclaimed. “Please, you have to help us talk some sense into Maddie!”Steve raised a confused brow at the elder’s request. “Why? What’s wrong?”“What’s wrong is that Maddie here won’t cease the search for Ellie and… and Alpha William…” Aiden answered, hesitating a bit as he spoke the second name.He wasn’t the only who reacted with such fright at the mention, as the rest of the werewolves present also trembled when the notorious werewolf was brought up, including Steve. Maddie, though, was different, for she was more livid than she was frightened.“I refuse to give up!” she exclaimed. “That ‘William’ guy or whoever he is does not know who he was messing with! Not only did he in
“How is everything in pack?”How was Steve supposed to answer to that question…? How was he supposed to tell his girlfriend and mate… that things were not going well in the pack as she hoped them to be. Not only were the werewolves in training getting tired out, to the point where it was dangerous for them to continue such training, but even the werewolves on patrols… There had been no news on the whereabouts of Ellie or William. Considering the mood Maddie was just in, there was no doubt in Steve’s mind what she would do if he gives her his report.“Well, those in charge of supplies have gotten back a plethora of materials. Food, berries, medical herbs… Our supplies will last us for a good while, especially when the time comes for us to head to that war,” Steve began.“We do need to keep morale high in battle somehow. One way would be providing great amount of supplies for them,” Maddie stated, pleased with this one piece of news. “And what of the other matters? Any news on Ellie’s w
The next day, in the Devorare Pack, Ellie was surprised to find herself in the training grounds with Ashina and Morgan. Considering how her last encounter with Jengo went, she was sure the Beta werewolf had reported to William about their exchange, resulting in giving her a punishment for snapping the way she did. At the very least, she had expected to be dragged back to her cell for acting out. And yet, she was instead left alone the whole night, and was greeted by Ashina and Morgan come morning, and was led to the training grounds by the pair. Solely to train with them. For today’s training, it was a sparring match. One where the werewolves were to pair up with one another and attempt to get a decent strike in on their selected opponent. At the same time, they were also to practice their defense against fierce attacks. Watching them go at one another like this, Ellie was honestly in awe by the sight. “I’ve seen plenty of spars back in my old pack, but none as well-coordinated as th
Ellie widened her eyes in shock with what Teach said. Her? Spar with one of the Devorare werewolves? She heard of how fearsome even the Omegas of this pack were in combat, and witnessing their skills up close? Adding in how weak her wolf was, as well as taking the outcome of the last training session to consideration, forget standing a chance against one of these wolves, she may just die fighting them! Not only that, but there was also that strange feeling she had been getting from her body... Ellie did not know why, but she had been feeling off for quite a while now, and she did not know why. That being said, she was also unsure about getting into a spar in her condition. "A-Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother to them when they have a good flow going," Ellie turned down, noticing how some of the werewolves seemed quite into their spar with their opponent. "It's fine. Besides, if you're worried about interrupting any of their training, there are still a trio of free werewolves
With Ellie having accepted Jengo's challenge to spar, the training grounds has become clear of people, save for the pair of combatants. Already, there were many in the sidelines cheering for the Beta to win against the stray, while the very few remaining cheered for Ellie. Not that their actions mattered much to either werewolves, as they calmly stared each other down."You think that girl has a chance?""What? Against Beta Jen? No way.""I don't know. She is Alpha William's mate, isn't she?""Yeah. She's gotta be fairly strong.""Doubtful. We don't even know what pack she's from. And there are rarely any packs with werewolves that even match the strength of our Omegas.""Yeah. This should be quick."Ashina snuck a glance at the few werewolves doubting Ellie's strength. While she was not quite sure how strong her ward truly was, she was not one to underestimate people like they were doing. For after all, even if it were true that majority of the packs were not as strong as theirs, the
