STILL CHAOS’ POVWe walked towards the compound where the moon was at its highest and that was when the ceremony started. The music stopped and then my mother started barking out orders on how she wanted us to be seated. I and my mate walked to the very front and after shedding my robe, I sat down gently on the ground and watched as my mate followed. Kiara and Matthews sat horizontal to us on the right with Jeremiah and Estefania on the left. The rest of the mated couples filled in the spaces as well as their kids till a circle was created around us. This process went on till the whole grounds was covered. My mother delivered the customary speech and then walked every one through what was about to take place. A knife was handed out to my mate and after he made a cut on both his palms, he handed it to me. I cut my palms too before passing it on. I joined my left palm to his and the right on to Kiara’s and it went on till the last wolf. One could feel the new bond that was form
“There are wounds that never show on the body that is deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds”—Laurell K Hamilton, Mistrial’s KissChaos’s P.O.VI lay in bed conscious to everything around me yet not so conscious. I was in a half comatose state and I could feel myself changing. Even I, am afraid of what the end result might be. It was a battle of wills that I lost the moment I found out that my mate was cheating on me. The right thing to have done was to have left but am not that kind of person. I couldn’t leave when I was responsible for the welfare of the people that were now my pack members. Our future is uncertain but I know for a fact that it was going to be filled with so much pain, hatred, rage and a whole lot of negative emotions. I felt the moment my mate touched me and discovered how cold I was. What he didn’t know was the fact that I was just as cold inside. Everything was frozen from my emotions to my body parts and that was the scariest thing I have ever
Still Alpha River’s P.O.VThe doctor came back with me and the surprised gasp that left her lips told me what had happened was not normal. I paced in front of the window as the doctor ran a thorough check up on her before starting to make some phone calls. I know it was to her family with the way she spoke franticly but respectful at the same time. I couldn’t help but have a bad feeling about all this. I wanted to go in there and comfort her but I know it was just wishful thinking. That blasted spell her brothers put there was doing a damn fine job from preventing me from entering. I was at my wits end here and I couldn’t keep standing on the other side of the wall while my mate lies on the other side. With a deep breath, I opened the door and without hesitation. I closed my eyes and rushed inside. I waited anxiously for the pain I knew was coming but none came. Gingerly opening my eyes, a small smile made its way onto my face when I realized I have been able to enter the room
Chaos’ P.O.VMy eyes flew open the moment my mate walked out of the room. I know he knew I was awake from my coma and was just waiting for me to wake up from my sleep. With all these sudden changes that are going on with my body, I didn’t won’t to risk it and open my eyes. Who knows what I would have done to him here and then? I lie down and listen to my surroundings and when I was confident that no one would be walking in on me anytime soon, I stepped out of bed. It felt good to have my feet back on the ground. After I made sure I was really fit to walk on my own, I cloaked myself and walked out of the room. It felt amazing to walk in the shadows again. Observing everything without anyone knowing you are actually there. I avoided crashing into anyone because it will cause a ruckus I really didn’t need right now. I had just made it to the ground floor when I spotted Matthews and my family heading towards my way. Thankfully their attention wasn’t on me so acting swiftly, I p
“It is not the enemy that lurks outside your home that you should fear but the enemy that you dine and share a home with…” ~ Lucas Chaos An hour later, Chaos and her family made their way to Alpha River’s house and towards the conference room. Kiara was still smiling sweetly whiles the twins and their mother wore blank looks on their faces. As for Chaos, the look on her face was zero to none. Thanks to her new look, she looked scary and somewhat dead and funnily enough, that was exactly how she felt inside. Alpha River sat in his conference room with a frown on his face. His parents and Tricia sat in the room when he didn’t remember sending for them. He had asked and he had been told Matthews had asked them to be here. He in turn questioned Matthews who refused to say anything other than, ‘I was ordered to get them here.’ Matthews had given him the same answer on the tenth questioning and he was about to snap when the door to the conference room burst open. The gasp
Still Chaos’ P.O.V I stood under the full blast of my shower still fully clothed and allowed it to rain all over me. I leaned my head against the wall in my new shower and watched as the water washed the blood of my mate off my body. The ass whooping was never part of my plan. But I felt the urge when he didn’t show any sign of remorse or repentance. That hurt more than knowing he cheated on me. I felt the stinging behind my eyes and I couldn’t help it when they started rushing down my face. Raw pain and tears rocked my body as I let it all out. I fell on my knees and let it all out. The pain, the rejection, the disappointment, the agony, my anger and the deceiving hope I had felt. I cried and cried till all that was left was sniffles and even then, I couldn’t stop. No matter how nonchalant I acted back there, he was still my mate and the bond joining us was still vibrant as the day it was made. Fresh tears trailed down my face as I thought about w
Alpha River’s P.O.V I lay in the hospital bed slightly aware of what was going on around me. I don’t even know what day it is. But one thing is for sure that my nightmares felt real. I’ve never felt anything like that and I don’t want to go through it again. I was also in a shit ton of pain and the pain meds that I am sure the doctors pumped with is not even working. Kaeden has been trying to heal me but there was so little he could do. I seriously can’t believe my mate did this to me. Handed my ass to me on a silver platter. My mother hasn’t left my side since I was admitted and she hasn’t stopped crying too. My father? Nowhere to be found. He was disappointed in me and I couldn’t blame him. Even I was disappointed in me. I clear my mind and start rethinking of all that has happened before my mate got here and when she got here. I flinched internally when I remembered the tears and emotions behind her stone-cold gaze. I couldn’t read her thoughts. She blocked me
STILL ALPHA RIVERS POV Jeremiah was first to go. He let the blanket fall to the ground before turning his back to me. “What the fuck!!” I whisper yelled “And that’s not even the worst.” Silas Barnes, Richard’s second in command said before shedding his own ridiculous shirt. The rest followed and I couldn’t even look at their backs anymore. It didn’t even deserve to be called a back anymore. “What happened?” “Your mate’s father happened. He’s one scary ass motherfucker and I wish to never see him again in my life or dreams for that matter” Leone Esposito, Matthews’ second responded with a look of pure horror in his eyes “Shut up Leone. You had it easy than the rest of us because luckily, Kiara and Chaos see some cuteness in you that we don’t” James teased “Someone explain why some look worse than the other whiles some are somewhat gone” “Well…” Stephanie started “On the first day of training, Alpha Chaos cooked for us. Some food from her father’s realm as it i
