Alpha Larole had noticed the strain on his son's face and the heaviness in his demeanour. Concerned, he decided to send Ace on a mission to visit neighbouring packs. "Take Ethan with you," he suggested, hoping the trip would serve as a distraction and a chance for both young men to recover from recent events.Ace agreed, seeing it as an opportunity not only to fulfil his father’s wishes but also to help Ethan, who had been drowning in guilt and anger. At first, Ethan wanted to turn him down but he had to respect Alpha Larole's wishes.The two set off, their journey taking them through lush forests and bustling pack territories. Ethan remained silent for most of the trip, his thoughts a stormy sea. Ace, unperturbed, looked after him with the care of an older brother, ensuring he was fed, rested, and safe.They visited four or five packs over the span of more than ten days, each visit offering a glimpse into different lifestyles and traditions. Ace was always attentive, noting the diff
Ace and Ethan listened intently to the heated argument unfolding before them. The girl at the centre of the commotion seemed to be the reason for a deep-seated conflict within the pack. They heard the accusations clearly: "She almost killed my daughter! We demand an explanation!"Ebsy, standing protectively in front of the girl, countered just as fiercely. He eyed his father in anger. "Your daughter poisoned her first! She was defending herself!"The crowd around them was not convinced, their voices rising in a crescendo of disbelief and anger. "She's a danger to our pack! We can't have her here! Alpha she almost hurt your sister yet you defend a stranger.”“Because Kalista sought trouble. I know the sister I have and what she can do. This new girl can't hurt a fly.”“She can't hurt a fly. Yet she pounced on your sister.what are you saying?” Kalista’s mother demanded in rage, trying to rush for Alyssa but the guards held her in place, firmly.Ace glanced at the girl standing behind E
Alyssa and Ebsy stood frozen, the world around them dissolving into a blur as Ace's sudden support sent shockwaves through the tense scene. Alyssa felt like her lungs had collapsed, gasping for air in the midst of the chaos. Ebsy felt small. This was why he hated his family. They brought out the worst in him and demeaned him before the people.Ace, sensing the escalating tension, tried to mediate once more. "Perhaps we can discuss this calmly and find a solution that—”Ebsy's father cut him off. "Enough, Ace. We’ve heard all we need to hear. Ebsy, make your decision. Show us you have what it takes to be an Alpha, or step aside.”The room fell silent as everyone waited for Ebsy’s response.At that moment, Ethan, who had been standing quietly beside Ace, spoke up. He was tired and irritated at what was happening."Whether it's true or not, we can find out right now. Let's check her for signs of poisoning,” he suggested.Alyssa's heart skipped a beat at the sound of Ethan's voice. She sp
Alyssa couldn't help but feel giddy with excitement. **Of all the packs, Blood Moon had decided to take her and her brother in. I**t still felt surreal to her. **She had always fantasized about getting mated to someone from the Blood Moon pack**. They were known for their strength, pride and skills. She had thought she and her brother would die as rogue outcasts until that very morning when she and her brother's presence were requested at Alpha Larole's abode.Alpha Larole by his title, was the current Alpha of Blood Moon.She took in his office where she was made to wait. All black with the finest furniture, and alluring designs. She caught sight of the CCTV and screwed her mouth. What could be the reason he wanted to see her personally?She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of the door and in came Alpha Larole. She hastily got on her feet and bowed her head."Alpha""Do have your seat please"Allysa was touched by his politeness. This was the first time she wa
"This is your room"Alyssa dropped the box on the floor with a thud, taking in the appearance of the maid's bedroom assigned to her with a heavy heart. The air was thick with humidity, making it difficult to breathe. The small window barely allowed any natural light to filter in, casting an eerie shadow over the room. It was far from the comfortable living space she had anticipated."This is where I'll be sleeping?" She almost whispered, stunned at the sight of it.Lydia rolled her eyes "What is it? Do you want to complain? If it doesn't suit your preference, you could just leave."Alyssa was startled. If this was Ace's mate, then she was sorry for him. She had no manners at all. She knew almost immediately that they would never be chummy with each other. Lydia didn't rate her and didn't bother disguising her contempt."It's so dark and there's barely space for breath. What if I suffocate?""Let me guess, you die..then your body is hung on the trees for the birds of the air to feed on
A few days ago, In the aftermath of that eventful day when Lydia accompanied Ace to the monthly gathering; an intake of rogues and members from other packs, which were to be admitted to their pack,she found herself grappling with a mixture of shock and apprehension. Ace had discovered his mate amidst the crowd, but he hadn't caught a glimpse of her face.His grip on her waist suddenly tightened, and she winced. His gaze rested on the back of a figure, among the rogues who had applied for intake."What's wrong Ace?" Lydia didn't know who exactly Ace was looking at, but she felt something was different."It's nothing. Nothing serious," Ace said, as he forcefully withdrew his gaze. He ran his hands through his hair, "My mate is here.""What? Which one…"He hadn't seen her face, so he couldn't tell.It was a moment that had taken her completely by surprise, but despite the shock, Ace held onto the promise he made to her." You have absolutely nothing to be worried about. We would have a
It had only been days since Alyssa started working in Alpha Larole's mansion but it felt like ages. She had gotten so many bruises as a result of trying to navigate her way around the house and do the chores in a blindfold before her brain grasped the mental map of the house. Her wolf had become her companion, aiding her in memorizing everything that would get her hurt.Alpha Larole had also been fulfilling his promises to her bit by bit, ensuring she and her brother were safe and also well-fed. Except for Lydia's nonchalant behavior and constant fusses, everything else was good. The rest of the household seemed to like her or so, she thought. But they were nice to her.Alyssa hummed as she went about the day's work. she detested cleaning but what could she do? And today was the day she got to clean Ace's office. Of all days, today! It was also the day Ace was to return.The household was busy. Everyone was doing their thing, trying to make sure all was in order before his arrival. Ac
Ace's mind raced, urging him to seek out his father and demand answers. What the heck was happening? Why was she here? He couldn't fathom why his father had brought Alyssa to their home, questioning whether his father truly remained oblivious to her true identity as his mate.Frustrated and overwhelmed by the intense desire she had ignited within him, Ace stormed to his room in a rush, desperate for a cold shower. He feared that if he didn't cool off, he would lose all control and rush downstairs to embrace her in his arms.But the blindfold though. Why was she blindfolded? he wondered. Did she think their home was a circus? He chuckled and then stopped. Why did he find her intriguing? He didn't expect her to have that much effect on him, it was exciting. Adrenaline rush! With Lydia, he had this feeling whenever they were behind closed doors. But this girl. She was something. Something he couldn't define.His mind was a whirlwind of emotions as he stepped into the shower and let the c
