Henry’s POV“You must submit to me as your Alpha.” Anger roars to life inside of me as a growling sound reverberates inside of my head, or maybe it emerges from my lips, or even both. I’m not sure where the roar came from, but at this point I don’t really care either. A seething rage begins to take over as something inside of me claws to be released. What is this strange feeling inside of me that is threatening to take over? The potent rage that settles deep in the pits of my stomach is so tempting that I nearly submit to its errotic pull. Power courses through my veins and I stare down at my arms in wonder. Strength like I have never felt before flows through me, daring me to allow it to come out and attack Henry.My eyes snap in his direction when my ears pick up the subtle sound of his movement across the grass. The blades scream in my ears as his bare feet shuffle across them ever so gently. My eyes lock onto Derrick’s bare feet as they lift from the grass slowly in preparation o
Derrick’s POV“Submit to me Henry.” I embue my words with my Alpha aura, watching as it burrows deep into Henry’s head, pulling a cry from his lips. “I order you to SUBMIT!” The command in my voice increases with each word that leaves my lips, sinking into Henry’s brain as he struggles to fight against my command. Henry shifts beneath me, his cries of pain increasing as he continues to fight against the need to submit to his Alpha. ‘I am the Alpha Henry.’ My growl resonates inside of his head, grabbing hold of his senses and demanding that he bows down to his superious, something that is difficult for an Alpha wolf to do. My grip on Henry’s face tightens, forcing his eyes to focus on my glowing orbs. My Alpha aura wraps around him, causing his eyes, ears, and nose to bleed from his constant fighting of my command. Henry lifts his head slightly, growling in my face as the blood continues to flow from his face. “Acknowledge me as your Alpha Henry and I will pull back my aura, ending
Derrick’s POVAs I make my way out of the kitchen and head towards my office, my Beta appears at my side, an amused look on his face. I lift my brow in question as I continue to make my way towards my office in silence. “I just saw Henry enter the infirmary.” He says suddenly, a smirk spreading across that annoying face of his. “It is not what you are thinking.” I grumble out, rolling my eyes slightly at the amusement in his eyes. He widens his eyes in mock innocence as he lifts his hands in the air in front of him, a knowing look appearing on his face. “His wolf nearly took control of him.” I tell him between clenched teeth, slamming into my office with more force than was necessary. Beta Charles enters my office close behind me, a humming noise escaping his lips as he closes the door gently behind us. “Is that all?” He asks, his brows drawing together in concentration. A tired sigh leaves my lips at his words, Charles is right of course, his wolf taking control was just the excuse
Derek’s POVWinifred, Nigel, Frank, and Simon all look at me with blank expressions covering their faces, not saying a single word about the situation I have just informed them of. My wolf shifts in my mind, uncomfortable with the continued silence that has taken over the room, causing the rapid beating of my heart to echo around like a drum beat at a rock show. Charles glances over to me from across the table, shifting his body uncomfortably as the silence stretches on forever. I open my mouth to break the thickening silence, only to have Winifred snap her head in my direction, an intense look taking over her wrinkly features. No one knows exactly how old Winifred actually is, but some speculate that she is well over five hundred. I, on the other hand, believe she is much older than that. There is something in her eyes when she stares you down that speaks of a long history with an endless stream of darkness. My words catch in the back of my throat as Winifred’s beady eyes lock ont
Salara’s POVDr. Boyd suggested that I get out of my hospital room and walk around the packhouse, and though I was unsure at first, I gradually found myself wanting to stretch my legs. My body still aches and there is still a lot of healing that needs to happen, but being couped up in that room all day was driving me crazy. So I took the Dr.’s advice, and decided to leave to grab a snack from the packhouse kitchens. Dr. Boyd didn’t feel like I should leave my bed alone, so here I am, sitting at the large island counter in the massive kitchens, with my doctor sitting beside me. His worried looks that he casts my way every few minutes is maddening to say the least. Though I will say that I do feel safer with him here beside me, at least I know he isn’t out to harm me. The images of what Savannah and her friends did to me still haunt my dreams as well as my waking moments. Fear clutches at me anytime I see another she-wolf and I find myself clamping up inside whenever they try to talk
Salara’s POV“Has the little Luna lost her tongue?” Savannah’s teasing words cause a frown to appear between my eyes. Before I can process what Savannah has said for very long, the black haired woman snarls at her viciously, with spit flying from her lips and enlarged canines. My heart stutters in my chest at the sight of the dog like teeth that are protruding from the woman’s lips while she stares at me with clear disdain. “She is no Luna!” The woman snarls, moving to take a step towards me in her fury. The third girl looks around uncomfortably with fear shining brightly in her eyes. She raises an arm and grabs hold of the dark haired girl’s arm, preventing her from stepping towards me. The woman turns around and growls at her in a warning, but the woman refuses to let go as she shakes her head in the negative repeatedly. With a roll of her eyes, Savannah berates the dark haired girl. “For Goddess’s sake Daphne, get a hold of yourself.” A thought suddenly clicks in Savannah’s brai
Salara’s POVHenry pulls Savannah’s tomato red face closer to his, ignoring the struggles she puts up to escape his grasp. “I heard every word that you were saying to Salara, Savannah, so there is no need to hide them now.” His mouth opens up as he growls in her face, leaving spit behind from the force of his growl. His teeth grow in size, looking similar, but more frightening, than when Daphne’s came out earlier. A shiver of fear moves through me at the sight . Henry has always frightened me, but this fear is on a whole new level. What if once he’s finished with Savannah, he turns his anger onto me?Pulling up on my legs, I pull my body closer to myself, creating a smaller ball that will hopefully go unnoticed by the wolves in the kitchen. The sound of Savannah’s attempts at speaking is the only noise that breaks through the silence of the kitchen for a long time before I hear her slamming to the kitchen floor roughly, a sound of disgust leaving Henry’s lips. “You are pathetic Sava
Salara’s POV“Are you hurt?” Henry’s strangely gruff voice breaks me from my trance. My body jumps in my seat when my gaze refocuses and finds Henry standing right beside me with a concerned look on his face. An angered look flashes in his eyes momentarily as his hands lift up to show that he is no threat to me. The fear that usually consumes me at the sight of Henry’s anger is slow to appear, so slow in fact that I don’t feel any fear at all. My brows furrow in confusion at that realization. Henry’s anger has always frightened me, even more so with everything that has happened between us lately. Why is it then that I feel no fear when faced with his displeasure at the moment?My gaze moves over his athletic body, taking in the new muscle growth that I can see forming across his body that I didn’t notice before. When did Henry gain so much muscle mass? Sure, he has always been muscular, but his build was always much smaller than other muscular men. But now… My cheeks heat up as I
