Lucian was all right, and that's all that mattered. I flung my arms around him.
"I thought you would leave me," I said softly through my tears. "It would have killed me.""No, I wasn't leaving you, Alice. I swear. I went there to protect you. Why would I leave you? I was in and out of consciousness. But I heard you. I heard everything you said." He caressed my hair."Promise me you will never go on such unplanned missions, and you will never shut me off, I want to be connected with you all the time," I said."I promise," he said, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear."Now, do I get my kiss? " He grinned."No, I am still mad at you!" I retorted.We sat quietly together, while Lucian was being examined by the healers. Once his wolf connected with him. His healing was accelerated, those ugly bruises and scratches disappeared like magic.The pack was already aware of his recovery, and slowly they were arriving to see him.The first ones were his betas andImpromptu pack parties are the easiest to organize. All we need is good weather, preferably a full moon night. Some drinks and firewood. The prey is hunted and cooked right there. There is no need to dress up in something special. Heck, there is no need to dress up at all, it gets ripped off later anyway. The party can go as wild as a pack orgy, or just remain a family barbecue. It was totally up to the people participating in it. The pack run and the hunt are almost always included.I met a very exasperated Katherine, in the corridor while the pack members were rushing out to the grounds at about 8 in the evening."Alice, I can't deal with those new girls, they are refusing to leave for the party." She huffed."Why?"Some girls from Adam's pack had chosen to stay as their families wouldn't accept them, even though Rick was fine to take them in. We didn't force them to go back. If they felt comfortable here, they were most welcome to stay."They are saying they
I wasn't jealous of Savannah, I just wanted her to not remain lonely. Though I am no one to judge, perhaps she was perfectly happy in her current lifestyle, like I was before meeting Lucian. However, getting a mate might change her perspective, as it did for me."Alright Ladies, we will be staying at Jade moon pack for two days and meet the unmated wolves from the other packs. By Luna's blessing, you all will find your mates. Even if you fail to find your mates, don't be disheartened. Just enjoy yourself."I addressed the crowd of about 50 single girls and women who would be going to the Jade moon pack for the mating barbecue, dance, and picnic. The unmated wolves from about 10 different packs were going to assemble in my brother's territory. It would be a big hassle accommodating and organizing everything for such a giant party. I was glad I wasn't the one organizing it. They giggled and laughed about finding their mates, and I smiled at them."And you have not
I woke up lying on a hard floor. I heard water dripping from somewhere, the air smelled damp, and my head throbbed badly. I tried to get up, but the sharp pain made my head swim and I fell back on the floor. Surprisingly, I wasn't tied up. I looked around but couldn't see much of anything, so I mustered up the courage to slowly stand up. Chains jingled in my feet as I moved them. My short-lived happiness of being untied died immediately, I was chained. My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and I concluded I was in a cave.'Lucian' I called into the mental link.No response.I was either too far away from him or he had closed the mental link, which was impossible. It meant I was too far away from him. I pulled at the chains, it didn't budge as expected. I wrapped my arms around myself. It was a trap. It was all a trap. Regina didn't die that day. Now, she had me and Clara. I heard approaching footsteps, and instinctively knew who they belonged to."Savannah," I said
Alice's POV - "That's ridiculous!" I snapped at him. These two were being conned by Regina, they were blinded by their ambitions to see through it."How can you even trust this woman? She might be taking you both for a ride!""It is possible, isn't it?" He asked gruffly to Regina.She trembled a little, "of course! You saw my poison worked isn't it?""It better do. I am paying a lot for this bitch!"While they argued, I had figured out their whole plan. Regina wanted my blood for whatever spells she had been making, Savannah wanted to get rid of me to get my mate, and this Alpha wolf wanted me for his mate because of my healing power.They got together and planned the trap, Regina started by luring rogue wolves from different packs to do her bidding. Then got interested in Alphas who wanted to steal me as their mate as her financiers. After losing Adam, this was her second financier."Hey if you are done argui
Gregory and some of his wolves were moving around arranging stones and boxes while Regina was boiling something nasty in a cauldron, like a typical witch. Fire torches had been lit around, giving an orange glow to everything. Providing me with a good view of the number of wolves stationed around the cave. There were 10 Betas and warriors around us. I was sure there would be more in the forest. I couldn't fight through so many wolves. I would have to make a run somehow."Are you going to sacrifice me or something?" I asked casually."You are too expensive to be sacrificed, sweetheart," Gregory smirked."She would not be harmed, right? She can still give me pups, isn't it?" He asked Regina.I wanted to gag and rip his throat off."No, I just need her blood for now," Regina said.I wrinkled my nose, these people were crazy."Give me the girl," Savannah asked me.I clutched Clara tighter."No, I don't trust you," I said"You don't have any option Alice, if
10 years ago -Lucian - Being one of the few werewolves in a human high school had its advantages. I was stronger, with much better reflexes and keener senses than humans. I could have broken all sports records, but I refrained from using my full potential because it would have been unfair, secondly, I would have drawn unwanted attention, but that didn't stop me from being the best in the football team. Furthermore, I loved it.It was the day before my 18th birthday. I was excited as well as nervous. For a werewolf, his or her 18th year is critical. After turning 18 our wolf is ready for its mate, and it starts searching. I would be able to find my soul mate from tomorrow onwards. She could be anyone. Someone from the pack, or school. I wished it was Nancy, my current girlfriend. She was the hottest girl in the school, and we clicked. If not Nancy, whoever would be my mate, I would love her. Whenever I found her."Hi
Alice -I had reached a clearing near a stream. 'Savannah, come out. I know you are here. The forest is surrounded, you cannot leave.' I said in her mind as I felt her presence.Before I could finish, I was shoved by a red female. Savannah had appeared from the rocks near the stream. I was tossed onto my side before I quickly righted myself and faced the known attacker. Savannah bared her teeth and growled low and deep. I returned the threat and watched as Savannah trembled and backed down a little.I looked behind her to see Lucian along with the rest of the pack. He stayed back and waited to see what would happen.'You must hold a pretty big grudge against me to attack me in front of Lucian.' I said.'I have nothing left to lose.' Savannah replied.'I was happy until you showed up! This is all your fault! W
Six months later --Alice - Sunlight was streaming through the picture window on the east wall, warming the bed. I walked out of the shower and saw Lucian stirring in the bed."Sorry," I said softly. "I didn't mean to wake you."The bedsheet fell away from his body as he leaned to kiss me."What time is it?" He asked."A little past six," I replied, and got out of the bed. I walked towards the window and glanced out in the morning."Why don't you come back to bed?" He asked."No, I was just going to take a shower and head into work," I responded."It's so early," he said through a yawn."I know, but I've got an important meeting today. I'm going to take a shower. Go back to sleep." I said."You sure you can't come back to bed?" He asked again as I applied lipstick and flashed
