VernonI woke up feeling pain all over. The rope was biting into my wrist. Damn, this wolfbane was so strong.There was no window in this cell, but judging from the meal the servant brought me, it had been a few days since they took Shannon away. I hadn't told her about my feelings yet, she was so important to me, yet I feared that would be the last time I saw her. I was desperate to get out and know how she was doing, but as days went by, I found myself growing weaker and weaker. I would struggle to even remain conscious.It was like it was not just wolfbane that was on the rope, there was something else that was weakening my power. I couldn't help but thought of Melvin. It must be him. Only he had the skill to develop such a bioweapon. Even though I was affected by it, I couldn't imagine what this would do to regular werewolf.I hated this, I rarely lost control like this. All because of what? My brother's personal grudge against me? As for Jayde, I didn't understand why he would at
ShannonIt had been a few days since Terry or Jayde last visited. The maids would bring me meals these days. I knew they were away now.Before that I had already surveyed the room, it was just a typical room, there was a big window and the sun could come through, but there were bars around the window, and they were narrow, and they went both horizontally and vertically, making me impossible to get out. Plus, I’m pretty sure I was on the at least above the third floor. I could survive the jump safely even if I could make it out of the window.The door was out of the question as well, there were always two guards in front of my door guarding me, well, “protecting”, that was what they said. But I knew what they meant.I would try if there was only one guard, I would definitely take my chances. But there were two, and I was not armed... I doubt I could get past them without them calling for backup.But this was too good of a chance to miss for me. Now there was a huge opportunity for me t
ShannonI sped up because I knew the first guard would return at any minute, but I wasn't really familiar with the building. I wished I had looked around more when they brought me here. But I remembered I was brought from the cell, it was situated below the ground, so if I go down, I should be able to reach Vernon. But what would I do once I got there? It was not like I could just walk in and get him out.But then again, I didn't know where I could go either. This was not my familiar place. And I should, I think I should at least let him know that I was safe. With the way I was dragged out of the cell, he must have been worried for me. Right?He did ask me to bring it back up, but who was I going to find now? I didn't think I could get out of here without being caught. I wished I put more thought and planning into this, but I just seized the opportunity when I saw it.I headed down the stairs, my footsteps were silent, but my heart was thumping so loud. But I guessed it was a good thi
ShannonI thought the Siren was for me, or for Vernon, no. They were for Mabel. Why did I know? Because the guards were clearly chasing her once they saw us!"We need to split up."What? This was not a horror movie, we didn't need to split up! But when I looked at Vernon, I could see that he didn't mean to split up like this, he was trying to lose Mabel. I thought about that day Terry chose to take Kaia and just left me there. I hated to admit it, but I was helpless. Plus, regardless of where she got the key, she still saved him. We couldn't justI shook my head to Vernon. He sighed and finally relented.We left the premises they kept us and soon found ourselves in the forest."They were keeping us on the border, we can run back to Pack House, but I think they might have already taken the place by now.""Then where can we go?""There was a safe house I have on the other side of the border, it was secretive, we could go there and join the others later."The guards were still chasing us
Shannon"Did you tell him the truth?"I thought about what I told him before I was dragged away."Yes, but he didn't take it well. He ran off after hearing what I told him."The image of someone who looked so much like Vernon and as tall as he did, running away in tears made me laugh out a little. Vernon gave me a weird look after hearing my laugh."I was just... Thinking about that's how you would look like when you run off."He laughed a little as well. The air wasn't so tense anymore."So, what do we do now? Do you know where everyone else is?""Adonis was with me when I was knocked out, but he wasn't in the same cell with us, he must be held somewhere else. I need to find him first."I nodded, I knew how important his Beta was to him."It's good that both Terry and Jayde are gone now, we only have to deal with Melvin for now.""Gone? Where did they go?"Vernon frowned at the stupidity of them both leaving during the middle of the war."I think they have gone to the treasure land,
Shannon"You said that they starve their maids?"We were treading through the woods when I heard Vernon say, he was walking in front of me to lead the way."I don't really know, but I guess she must be really hungry to steal food from me. They were just ordinary food, nothing fancy."He frowned upon hearing this, I didn't know it was for the cruelty or whatever."Do you know how they treat their captives or Pack members?""I don't know how Jayde treats his Pack members or captives. But Terry used to be nice to his Pack members, and he never abused any of his servants before. But that was a long time ago. I didn't really know what he did with his Pack after they left. And now that Kaia is his new Luna, I'm not sure if anything might have changed..."I didn't want to throw shade on Kaia, but for the love of the moon goddess, she was obviously unfit for a Luna. And Terry even refused to make her take responsibility as a Luna. I could only guess how she was doing as a Luna now."Huh. Do y
ShannonThree minutes…Just three minutes away from I got cheated on.***"Luna Shannon, Happy Anniversary. I hope you enjoy your stay here." The receptionist said as she handed the Key Card to the presidential suite."Thank you." I smiled back at her and took the Key Card from her.This was my fifth anniversary with Terry. We have been together for seven years, and married for five.Terry Steuber, my husband of five years was the Alpha of the Crescent Manes Pack, and I was his Luna. We were not fated mates but he chose me to be his chosen mate five years ago.He was this 6-foot-tall, hot, and handsome Alpha with piercing dark eyes and chiseled features. And I couldn't say I matched him that well. I was just an ordinary orphan, I didn't even know my bloodline, but I was certainly not of Alpha blood. I was a mere warrior. Yet he chose me to be his Luna, to help him run the Pack beside him. And we worked great together.He didn't treat me differently because I wasn't his fated mate, he l
Shannon"Don't force me, Shannon."Force him? He said he would reject his fated mate for me if he ever met her! I hesitated when he asked me to marry him because I knew I wasn't his fated mate, and I knew he might meet his fated mate later, however small the chance was, I didn't want to risk it. So he promised me he would reject his fated mate. But now, from the looks of it, he didn't want to."Do I need to remind you what you promised me when you asked me to marry you? You said you would reject your fated mate for me on any given day. Why are you backing out now?"I paused to look at his expression, and it seemed like he did remember what he promised me before. I decided to give him a final push."Well you can't have both, it's me or her. Take your pick now."Still, he refused to choose between me and Kaia. Did he really think that he could have both? I looked at him intensely, his face was solemn, and his frown was deep. His fist was clenched tight, his nostril flared from his heavy
