Nick's P. O. VAlpha Ace! I screamed as we mind linked. Alpha Marcus is here, hide Vanessa!I ran out of the packhouse, looking around frantically.“Warrior's, Alpha Marcus has initiated an attack on us, get all the women and children to the safe houses and ready pure defenses."I instructed. “Nick!” I heard Lesley calling my name.I turned around and saw him running toward me.“Where is the Alpha ?” he asked worriedly.“He is hiding her.” I said, trying to keep calm.Beta, we won’t be able to keep them out for long! One of the warriorsfrom the border mind-linked me. There is a witch here, Beta, and she isdoing someth… Our mind link cut off.Peter?! I yelled back at him, but there was no response.Fuck!ALPHA?! I tried mind-linking him. Yes, Beta? He answered. The border security is about to be breached, they're using some dark magic. I'll meet you at the border! Alpha Ace responded. I was running after Lesley and toward the border when I heard some footsteps behind us. I turne
Vanessa's POV“Vanessa, no need to be shy.We know each other too well."Alpha Marcus said with a smirk on his face. His hold on my arm tightened, and I stumbled behind him. I kept turningaround, wishing I could just run back to the safety of my mate’s arms.“He's now a part of your past, you should now embrace your future mate, the mighty Alpha Marcus."He responded. My heart clenched painfully, and I wanted to scream. I just wanted to goback to Alpha Ace.“Why are you doing this?” I asked desperately. “There is nothing specialabout me. You of all people know this.”Alpha Marcus turned around and grinned. “First you must tell me, do you miss the good times we had, I cherish them to this day."His words reminded me of the scars that I thought had healed but I could still feel the pain." I won't lie, I dreaded every moment that we spent together."I replied. " C'mon baby, that's in the past.A lot things have changed and I've learned to embrace change over the years."Alpha Marcus respo
Chapter twenty twoAlpha Marcus P.O.VThe chat with Vanessa’s dad had not yielded the results that I had hoped for. He managed to talk and provided us with some information. The good thing was that while I was in the room I had come up with an even better plan. I was going to have a chat with Alpha Ace , hopefully he was loyal to the bond he claimed they had. I had sent Dwayne over to fetch him and Nick, I could hear as their footsteps grew louder.“Alpha Ace, beta Nick, welcome to my main office.” I said as they searched with their eyes the office.“Where’s Vanessa, what have you done to her?” Ace blurted out fuming with rage.“Relax Alpha Ace, no need to put on a show, as you can see she’s not here. Can I offer you some drinks,I know you’re probably thirsty.” I suggested. Beta Nick was quite calm and stealth and I figured he was following Ace’s lead.“I will have my drink when you let us go, now let us go ….”Ace continued to chirp.“Fine, I’ll let you know why I’ve brought you here
Chapter twenty threeVanessa’s P.O.VI had come to learn that every person had flaws regardless of how perfect they seemed. Alpha Marcus had been the face of my nightmares and now there was a possibility he was my secret guardian. I remember the first time I laid my eyes on him and my body drooled for him and his touch. He always knew his way around me and made me want him with his Alpha pheromones making a strong heat to surge within me. Sometimes I even yearned for his touch again but I would never let him know that. Though he was cold and ruthless , while I was his slave he treated me well compared to Ella and Dwayne who found great joy by inflicting pain on me. But I was not ready to forgive him now, the wounds were still to fresh. What the fuck did he want to say to me.“Vanessa, you look nice.” Alpha Marcus said as he made an advance towards me.“Is that why you wanted to see me?” I asked him avoiding his advances. “I must say, you seem different, even your aura.” Alpha Marcus
Nick’s P.O.V Alpha Ace was the Alpha of our pack and my loyalty lies with him, but he was not loyal to the pack. I knew he was close to the lycan king but I did not know he was a spy, how could he betray our own kind.“So what do you have to say? You owe me an explanation at least.” I confronted him.“The lycan king and I had an arrangement, he gave me no choice.” He responded. “And you thought it best to hide that from me?’ I asked.”We all make mistakes, I just hope Vanessa can be able to see past my mistakes.” He responded. Alpha Ace was a typical Alpha breed and all he cared about was his fucking reputation , and now he was about to lose it.“What if our pack learns about this, Vanessa seems to be quite at home here.” I inquired.“She is mine, she is mine , she is my fated mate, she is my true luna.” Alpha Ace growled. I understood his worries and frustrations currently, he faced a threat of losing everything he’s been working for all his life. “ I don’t think am the one you shou
Ella’s P.O.VWhat was so special about a plain white werewolf, it was just the coloration of the furs. Every Alpha was obsessed with the white wolf; the true Luna and apparently Vanessa was the true Luna, that bitch slave. I’d got rid of her once but now I’ll get rid of her for once and for all, she was not going to take my Alpha Marcus, he was mine. Alpha Marcus had warned me about my schemes of messing with her but I was going to be clinical this time, I’d leave no evidence around. Alpha Marcus was going to br the Alpha king eventually and I’d be the Alpha queen.Since Vanessa had reappeared in the picture, Dwayne was overjoyed with her presence since he knew I’d hate every fucking moment she was here. After Vanessa had disappeared I’d cut ties with Dwayne and stopped messing around with him, he had nothing to lose and I had everything to lose. He’d not taken the rejection easily but eventually he came around it, ever since he’s been acting as a big jerk. I can slowly feel me and A
Chapter twenty sixVanessa’s P.O.VThe alarm went off signaling it was time to wake up, but I was still sleepy. I was no longer the slave girl and I could extend my sleep for a little bit longer.“Luna Vanessa, you’re late. The alpha has requested for your presence.” The guard shouted through the door as he knocked loudly. I turned as I looked at the alarm clock, shit, I was late by two hours. “Stop knocking, damn, I’m up.” I shouted at the annoying guard. “I’ll be down in thirty minutes, I need to prepare myself.” I ordered him. Damn, I was starting to enjoy my new position in the pack. I headed for the shower and the cold bath left me wide awake and quickly dressed and headed downstairs .“Vanessa, you must have been quite tired.”Alpha Marcus suggested as everyone stared at me.“Good morning to you too alpha.”I replied ignoring his comments. “ Beta Dwayne , Ella.” I acknowledged their presence. “It’s Luna Ella, Vanessa.” Ella said .“Sorry maam… I mean luna Ella.” I accepted the c
Vanessa’s P.O.VThe mating ceremonyI woke up filled with anxiety and excitement, I’d never been this well rested. If only my mother was here to talk me through it, but I still felt her presence telling me to be strong. After I’d taken a shower, I went to the packhouse dinner to have breakfast.“Hey, Vanessa you should thank us for preparing you for Alpha Marcus. If you think we’re monsters then he’s a fucking beast.” My step brother commented and the people in his table burst out into laughter.“Am just happy that am leaving this place, I’ll never come back.” I snapped back at him. “What did you just say to me?” He asked enraged as he stood up and advanced toward me. “You heard me.” I replied. I was expecting him to hit me like he usually did but his older brother stopped him before he struck me, “Father said we should not lay a hand on her, she’s the Alpha’s gift.” He suggested .Time went by fast and it was evening. As I stared at myself in the mirror, I thought I was really beauti
