I was not expecting much, but the place before me was the last thing that could have come to my mind. We were out of the forest but the dark one-story building was not making me feel any better. It was hardly visible in the dark and normal human eyes could easily miss it at night. I could see the faint structure after focusing entirely. "Are you sure this place is safe?" I moved closer to Alpha Orion. I was not sure about rogues in the forest but I could sense if they wanted to stay somewhere it would be this place. "We don't have any other option and it's just for a few hours." I let out a shaky breath not seeing the point to argue with him. I was the reason we had to stay here, he could just shift into his wolf and run to pack but I could not turn into a werewolf because of which we were stuck in the haunted place. "Don't say anything in front of anyone." I nodded even though I was not planning to speak a word inside. I knew the place was dangerous and someone like me stood
"What was that earlier?"I knew the question was coming.I put on my best convincing smile, "I told you, I do not like new places. I have always lived in one place and this is all new for me."He kept looking at me with the same blank look, he was trying to see through my lies. he was trying to figure out what was really happening...but he could never find out the truth."You were trying to touch the wall.""I was just curious," I replied in a calm tone challenging the irritated tone of Alpha Orion.His eyebrows twitched slightly but luckily he did not ask any more questions.It was then I got the chance to finally look around, the room was dark. Even though a bulb was shining it could not provide enough light to brighten the small room.The smell was still present in the air and because of the nightmare, I was no longer thinking if it was just the rotting food. There was a scary silence in the room and the only sound that could be heard was of water droplets hitting the floor. It was
My eyes opened once again. Everything was still the same...the same darkness, the same bulb on the verge of death but still trying to lighten up the room, the same sound of water droplets hitting the ground but there was one thing different,I was alone in the room.I quickly got out of bed and walked toward the broken door. I knocked on it, "Alpha Orion, are you inside?"There was no response.I waited for a few seconds before opening it. No one was inside, my heart started beating loudly in my chest, I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.Did he leave me alone in this place?What if he decided he did not want to wait here with me and I was just holding him back?I gulped as the various thoughts started swirling inside my head.I started looking around thinking about what I should do next when a whimpering sound fell into my ears.I stopped pacing around the room and froze in one place.At first, I thought my ears heard something wrong but it came again. Reluctantly I sta
"Are you hurt?"He was still on the ground but he was now staring at me, he was a werewolf.His eyes drifted to the man towering over us in a protective manner. Alpha was standing right behind me, challenging the man to make any wrong moves even though the man looked harmless."He looks fine, let's go...NOW."I ignored Alpha's words, a wrong move, and could easily get my life in danger. He could leave me with the man here to die but for some reason, my heart was not allowing me to leave the man on his own. "I have no words to thank both of you," the man thanked us in his frail voice that was barely audible, "but I am fine now, you should not stay here any longer because of me."I let out a breath not wanting to leave but knew I could not ask Alpha to take the man with us when we were not safe here either."Take care of yourself," I smiled at him before standing up to face a cold looking Alpha glaring at the poor man.He held my hand and started dragging me out of the room. He did no
"I should leave, thank you once again miss for showing me kindness and saving my life, if I could return the favor in this life I would not hesitate."I stood like a fool on the door frame, holding the door with one hand and the wall with another hand. "What did you just say?"He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. "I should leave, the rogue would not show mercy on me if he returned and you should be careful as well. They don't hesitate before killing anyone."I shook my head. I could not focus on what he was saying my entire focus was on what he had said earlier. It could not be a coincidence. His pack died 50 years ago and I know only one pack that vanished around the same time but there were no survivors. Maybe it was shot in the dark."No, about your pack."He blinked a few times, looking right and left in the corridor. "My pack was killed almost fifty years ago," he repeated once again in his frail voice. "Where did your pack reside?"He once again looked a
Arwin stood up immediately and started looking at the floor while shivering in fear. Alpha was about to walk towards him but I jumped in front of Arwin putting both my hands on Alpha's chest."Please listen to me."He was still glaring at Arwin."What is he doing here?" "I called him here," Alpha's eyes moved toward me and the color changed quickly. "WHAT?" he growled.I held his face between my hands, an action I did not know I was doing."Listen to me," his jaw tensed but he did not move or say anything.I took it as a sign to start explaining myself."He is Arwin, he was a member of the Green alp pack."Unlike me, Alpha Orion's eyes got bigger for a brief moment before the same cold expression returned to his face. "You know about his pack," I whispered."I have heard of it.""His pack was destroyed by the red moon fifty years ago.""And you believe him?" He asked, "how are you so sure he is not lying to you? There were no survivors from the pack. How can he be a part of that p
Silence.It was loud in the car as we moved toward the pack.The silence was filled with loud disagreements, questions, and anger."We don't know anything about the attackers?""Not yet," Alpha answered Bernadette as she sat beside me with her eyes stopping on the new man every once in a while who was clearly intimidated by the presence of all powerful wolves in the car. I wanted to reassure him but thought it was better if I did not say anything. "Do you think they were sent by some Alpha?" Bernadette's questions were not stopping, she looked ready to fight."They were rogues," Alpha answered in his usual calm tone.Arwin's entire body stiffened like a corpse.He was not looking at anyone but at his hands, or the tiny bony fingers that were showing out of his long sleeves. Once again Bernadette stared at Arwin, not being subtle at all. She was reminding him continuously he was not a member of the pack, but neither was I."So they just happened to be there?" she once again asked
Walking out of the room was not a task, the main task was to find the man who turned into a stranger after we reached the pack. Alpha Orion became cold again, Bernadette kept checking up on me but Alpha did not talk to me once.It should not bother me, I reminded myself again.I was supposed to focus on my work. Arwin was staying in the mansion too, Bernadette was not hiding her hatred toward him and showing he was unwelcomed in the pack. He was not allowed to leave the mansion, he could taint the image of Alpha Orion just by walking outside freely. "Don't you ever stop?"I did not bother turning around. "How can I help you today, Mia?""Don't act dumb, oh wait, maybe you are dumb," she smirked as she stood in front of me.I folded my arms and kept looking at her."Why did you return?" she asked, "why do you always have to ruin everything? You even brought filth into our pack like you were not enough.""You do not know him.""I don't want to know him, all I know is that you are c
