Jarek "Alpha Jarek, thank you for giving us your time." One of the elders speaks, approaching us quickly, while the rest stay back at a safe distance, seeming wary of us, "We are sorry for meeting here, as even though we trust you, we are just making sure to keep our families safe." He looks apologetic as his eyes flicker to the scrapyard of the neutral land. When Warren told me about the rogue families, I never realized that they would run everything so systematically. From Warren's talks, it almost feels like a pack because of the tight-knitted community they are. We are here to meet a few of the elder rogues of the community. Much to our surprise, they look almost like any other werewolf, minus the red tinge around their irises, a clear giveaway of their status as rogues. Rogues are insane and devoid of any feelings, or at least that is how I used to think before meeting these people. "I understand. I am aware of your situation." "If it is not much to ask, can you please pa
Jarek My wolf is clawing to come outside, but since I can't communicate with these rogue wolves in my wolf form, I need to stay in my human form. Warren is also fighting in his human form beside me, as he is the bridge between the rogue wolves and me. He can communicate with them through the mindlink, even in his human form, just like I can within my wolves. These rogues fight dirty and have raw, untamed energy, which is working in our favor in this situation, as these hunters can't judge their attacks. Daniel and my wolves will be here in more or less ten minutes. Until then, we have to hold back these hunters from reaching the females and children. The way these rogues are fighting, I don't think we will have any problem in keeping these hunters away from the building. The aura of Warren is strong as his wolf has come forward. He has taken two hunters down effortlessly, even in his human form, which is something commendable as these hunters match werewolves' strength and agility
JarekClutching the fabric in my fist, I raise my nose to sniff it. Then I sniff the air in the hope of finding a trace of the smell. The air lingers with the faint smell of her, making me anxious because I can sense fear mixed with her scent.The feeling of rage brews inside me, thinking about her in danger.I don't know why; I am feeling so protective over this stranger, and it seems weird because I have never felt this way.What is even more surprising is that my wolf is also sharing the feeling of protectiveness as I am. And that is something out of the ordinary because one wolf only shares concerns with someone with whom it is connected. My wolf howls inside me, wanting to find this girl.I tried to follow the scent, but after reaching the other corner, it became so faint that it was hard for me to follow. The feeling of suffocation encases my heart for not being able to find her. The thought of not being able to find her is making me and my wolf upset.Clenching my jaws, I loo
Gianna When I step outside the room, sure enough, a large black wolf is growling ferociously at everyone. Xavier is standing beside the carcass of someone, and the blood dripping down from Jarek's jaws is enough to tell me that he is the one to have served justice to this person. From the corner of my eye, I glance at the mutilated body to notice a mop of familiar hair, and I realize this is the new bartender whom the club has appointed in the absence of Lily. My eyes flicker to Xavier, and then I stare at the glass in his hand. It is the same glass from which I have drank water. His eyes are still black as he looks at me and nods his head slowly as if answering my silent question. The glass in his hand shatters as he clutches it tightly in his fist. and then he throws it beside the body laying on the ground. He looks at him with hatred, and I am afraid that he is ready to damage the already mutilated body even more. I don't think, at this moment, I have in me to stomach any
Jarek The moment when I heard that someone had tried to kill Gianna, all I could see was red. I can tolerate anything, but I would never tolerate anything against her. She is my limit, and if someone dares to cross that, then I will forget everything and will not stop until I have avenged her. The thought of something happening to her rattles me from inside; it is my worst fear. My wolf felt that she wasn't okay; that's why he purely acted on his instinct and rushed to her without thinking about anything. All that mattered to us was Gianna, and everything else seemed nothing to us. I reached the clubhouse at the exact moment when that motherfucker confessed that he did give something to Gianna. Xavier was forcing the truth out of him, but he was not ready to give the name of the person who was actually behind it. Since we had lost all our patience, so we just wanted the blood of that bastard who dared to hurt our mate. Our rage was uncontrollable, and we gave into our rage and en
Gianna "I ordered some Chinese food. You okay with that it should I order you something else?" Emani hollers from the kitchen. "Chinese is good." I raise a thumbs up and continue working on the website that we are planning to launch in the next month. "I am so hungry that I can eat anything." Huffing, I lean back and pat my stomach because it is growling in hunger. I think my stomach can put Jarek's growling to shame because that's how hungry I am feeling. "Damn, I am feeling nauseatic from hunger." Closing my laptop, I walk to the kitchen as Emani takes out food on the plates. She hates eating food in takeout boxes she is home. As she is dishing out the food, I go to her cabinet to take out glasses and place them on the small kitchen table. The smell of delicious food fills the kitchen, making my mouth water. Without wasting any time, we both dig into the food, and we eat in silence because we are too hungry to do anything other than eat. "I am still hungry." She makes a face
Jarek A shiver runs down my spine when cold air touches my sweat-covered skin as I step into the air-conditioned atmosphere of the clubhouse. It feels like heaven after running in the sweltering weather. It seems like we are about witness rain in the upcoming days, and my wolf is looking forward to running in the rain. As my wolf loves water, and he also enjoys spring because everything feels so fresh around here. Spring adds more to the beauty of the woods, something which has a soothing and calming effect on us. My eyes lock with Gianna, who is sitting with others at the bar. Taylor and Diana are also with her, while the rest of the members are busy doing their own thing, unaware of the tension which we are feeling. She looked unsure, but still, I could see some of the stiffness in her body had gone when she saw me. Gianna bites her lower lip and then gives me a small smile as a way of her telling me that everything will be okay. Walking to them, I wrap my arm around Gianna fr
Gianna Jarek looks at Brooke with an icy glare. His body is stiff, and it seems like he isn't even breathing. Brooke's smile drops, and an uneasy smile takes over her features as she looks at every one of us. Her gaze locks with Jarek, and I see confusion and different emotions swirling in her gaze. Her lips part as if she wants to say something, but then she closes her mouth, seeming like she is unsure of what to say. A frown appears on her face, and absentmindedly she takes a step in his direction. Without saying anything, Jarek storms back inside, leaving Brooke and all of us confused. I notice a flash of hurt in Brooke's gaze, which she quickly conceals as she again takes a step back. She stands, taking support of her car, while her eyes are fixed on the door behind which Jarek has disappeared. Jarek's reaction must have hurt her, but she is playing it off as if nothing has happened. "You told me that I might get help here." She turns to look at Ryder with an accusing gaze.
