I rolled over and poked Nix's chest gently. "Why exactly did you set your wake-up call so early this morning?" I mumbled, my voice dry and sleepy."I need to meet with the Alpha before he has to leave," he groaned, barely awake enough to speak.I sighed and washed my face with my palm. "Well, you are ten minutes late.""What?!” In an instant, he sat upright. “Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" He jumped out of bed and gathered his belongings.I sat up and stretched my arms while drowsily watching him. "How was I supposed to know why you set it so early? Even I don't get up that early even if I am always the first one to wake up."Nix kissed my forehead before quickly exiting the room to take a shower. I got out of bed, shook my head, and laughed.Nix had been so kind as to arrange my clothes on the dresser for me. I took hold of my pants and wiggle them out. By that, something clattered to the ground. When I looked down, the pregnancy test had escaped from the toilet paper, and both w

I took a bite of my apple as I examined Tiffany's new shoulder accessory. I smirked, observing Tiffany’s calm demeanor today. Nathan was much more at ease as well that he had left his imprint on her collarbone."Well, now I know why you two were conspicuously absent last night," I said, trying to break their flirting moment.Tiffany grinned at me, unapologetic. "We made it longer than you two did, and Nathan has told me that he loves my lingerie collection."Nathan leaned in close to her ears. "Ah, but they're much more beautiful when they're on your body."His whisper was soft, but our hearing was sharp, and we were close right here with them.Chloe shook her head, slightly disgusted, and said, "Okay, you two, not at the breakfast table, please."They both smiled at Chloe before returning their attention to the drool-worthy breakfast meal but still serving each other and finding ways to flirt. I shook my head and can’t complain for Nix and I have done those things absentmindedly duri

My head shot up an hour later when I smelled a strong and odd scent from the west. I mindlinked Ruby, "West… Watch the forest to the West! Something is approaching, and it isn't ours!"I know that Ruby was aware of it too but I couldn’t help but communicate everything that I sense. Now that they were close enough, I could detect the attackers. At least a hundred people were approaching, and none of them belonged to our Starblood pack.Over the last hour, all of the fighters had gone silent, leaving the safe house fighters nervous and on edge. Those who went to scout also went silent as soon as they encountered the enemy. The strangest thing was that they were all still alive. We didn’t sense any deaths among our pack members.This was the closest safe house to the approaching group, and they were clearly on their way here. As the attackers appeared along with the town in both wolf and human forms, I sensed our fighters becoming agitated and uneasy.They advanced slowly until the fight
Chase Chapter 51 | Invasive
As we both watched the invading group hauling unconscious people to various locations along the town's main street, I silently dropped onto the branch beside Raphal."I've never seen anything like this before," Raphal murmured softly."I couldn't remember anything like this before. Ambush by using herbs and tranquilizer, their objective is unknown," I replied quietly. "Do you see how they're splitting up the groups by gender, age, and fighting ability?"He hummed softly. "Yes, those three Enforcers are heavily bound and separated as well.""Yeah, don't remind me," I mumbled, trying to observe Nix in his unconscious state. "If it hadn't been for the fact that I couldn't even lift those chains in either form, I would have probably tried to free them. At the moment, the mate bond is causing me quite a bit of grief."He also gave a faint growl in response to the situation and his frustration with it, saying, "I, too, am somewhat handicapped in this situation. We are not immune to their he

I was high up in a tree, well hidden in the canopy's leaves and branches, watching the massive Alpha below. His eyes were frequently out of focus, indicating that he was mindlinking his people almost constantly. I carefully selected an arrow and took the tiny vial of liquid from a pouch.It was a particularly deadly poison, a concoction of extracts from several lethal plants and snake venom from several different species. Raphal had given it to me, and I had no doubts about its effectiveness. This was the most lethal poison he possessed.It should be able to kill an Alpha in under five minutes. I dripped the thick liquid onto the arrow, coating the arrowhead as well as a portion of the shaft. I carefully nocked the arrow and drew my bow as I focused on the Alpha below. I had previously observed his pacing; he had beaten down a circle in the grass and circled it continuously.I waited for a longer period of awareness while he deliberated on a difficult decision. When he went to relay p
Chase Chapter 53 | Ignoramus
I aimed a poisoned arrow at the milling crowd. Things were falling apart in the attacker's organization, but just as Raphal and I had suspected, there were a couple below who were keeping the original plan, whatever it was, in motion. Raphal's presence was palpable as he moved into position and readied himself.I stepped out from behind the tree and aimed my arrow at the third in command. I quickly transformed into a wolf and crept behind a large log. That guy had been keeping the majority of the attackers in line. He screamed in agony as his hands gripped the arrow lodged in his stomach. As they approached him, their heads turned toward him before spinning in the direction of the treeline.I took a deep breath to boost my confidence. I would have shaken in my boots if I had been wearing them. I must be crazy. What was I thinking when I agreed to this?!I climbed to the top of the log."There!"One of them had noticed me right away. I proudly raised my head before grinning at those wh

"Etheral… Please tell me that you were unaware that you were pregnant when we did all of those risky things. And did you know that you are using a poison which you could inhale?" he said slowly as if he was pretty sure he knew the answer.Of all people to notice, Raphal was the first one to break the surprise. I was filled with chagrin... In Raphal's mind, allowing someone expecting a child to get in the way of any potential harm was right up there with possible death. There was no point in lying because he would pick it up right away. In defeat, I sighed."I realized a few days ago."Raphal's rage grew, and I braced myself for an explosion. When it didn't arrive, I was surprised. His rage had subsided and he was now irritated."I can't believe you didn't tell me before I let you go off on your own. If I had realized that, I would have tied you up and hid you deep in the woods while I took them all out by myself."I grinned, thanking the heavens for my good fortune in today’s fight an
Chase Chapter 55 | Impregnable
Tony was still chained, and he stood there watching us as the other three men worked on his chains. "Any idea what they were after?" Tony asked the Alpha. "I have never heard of an attacking group simply chaining up Enforcers. They usually try to kill them outright. I am glad I am alive, but it just doesn't make sense to me.""This was actually a pack from far east. Part of their plan was to come here and wipe out our pack and kidnap the women and children to boost their own numbers," Kalil explained. “The main reason why they simply tranquilized everyone down was that they knew there was one person in particular that they were after, but they didn't know who it was yet. They didn't want to endanger the person they had come to see."Tony asked, perplexed, "Who were they after?"He sounded just as perplexed as I was. Why would a pack attack another pack just to kidnap one member? Confusion was present in the minds of everyone else who was listening, with the exception of the two Alphas
