"I have no idea. I feel the same thing you feel. Fuck!" Sage replied, as confused as she was.He was more concerned that he had no explanation for what was happening to them. That didn't bode well for him as the heir Alpha of the Lock Heart Pack. Luckily, only Aurora was there."Could it be that_""Wait!" he cut in, moving closer to her. He placed his right hand on the area where he had his heartbeat and paid attention to whatever only he heard and understood. Aurora, meanwhile, looked on in silence, hoping that he came up with an explanation for what was happening to them.He felt uneasy as he listened. Not that he was a stranger to mind links, but this one seemed a tad unfamiliar to that of the Lock Heart Pack. He hoped it wasn't another pack trying to manipulate and pit them against each other."I think I know who it is," he said, heaving a sigh of relief."Who?" she asked, curious."It's Rae," he replied, searching his locker for something. He knew that the story didn't make for g
"Aurora wait, Aurora, please!"Sage and the rest kept calling her, but she would not answer, rather she kept on walking towards the car.She was raging and just didn't want to talk to anyone. She didn't understand why an Alpha would be afraid to go after his pack. Even though Sage had told her why he couldn't risk going to the dungeon, she was having a tough time making sense of it.Her mind was already made up on what to do. Sage and the rest could stand there and do nothing, but she was determined to rescue Derrick and the others."Aurora, please stop," he pleaded once again. He had finally caught up with her, while his beta followed behind."What is it, Sage?" she asked, not looking his way."Okay, I know you are upset; I also know what you think of me. I mean, what Alpha would abandon his pack just to save himself.""Then come with me; we can save them," she cut in."No, Aurora. I know what I'm doing, and we must stick together."Rae closed in on them."You are right, Aurora. We s
"Focus, Sage, focus!" Aurora shouted at Sage who kept leaping at the rogues. "Just follow my lead and you all will be fine," she told other shifters that seemed to be retreating."Their leader is mine," Sage's mind linked them as he broke the line and attacked anyone who crossed his path with such fury. He only had his eyes on one prize."Attack!" Aurora barked, going after the rogues. Even as she attacked them, she had her eyes on Sage, watching out for him to ensure he was not in some sort of danger.The fight soon ended, and most of the rogues were taken down, while those who managed to escape did so with varying degrees of injury."I told you he's mine; let him be," Sage mind linked Derrick, interrupting him as he made to shift. "What do you need him alive for?" he asked, surprised."As a bait Derrick." "Are you fine?" Aurora requested when she got beside Sage.Not saying a word to her, Sage turned his attention to the rogues that stayed lying on the ground, writhing in pain. He
He was amazed at how fast she killed up to seven rogues up in a blink of an eye. He shrugged, after all, Aurora was the leader of the pack fighters.Watching her chest rise and fall as she tried to catch her breath, he decided it was time for them to head to the cottage. “Clean this up. We are about to head out,” he mind linked his beta.With a small nod he directed at Rae, he took Aurora hand, leading her to where they had packed the vehicle.She sat quietly in the car, pondering over what had happened in the last hours. “My love, is something the matter?” Sage questioned, glancing briefly at her before focusing on the road.“Not at all. Just wondering why the rogues have being attacking frequently these day,” she muttered but that was far from the truth and he knew better than to believe her. He knew how bad their relationship has been unstable and he wished he could explain it to her. It was for her own benefit but he knew Aurora too well by now she would oppose the idea. He couldn
"Get the cottage decorated, and dinner ready," Sage mind linked Rae. He has decided to pave his way into her heart with dinner since she didn’t want to forgive him after countless apologies and little compliments whenever she had given him a chance to move close to her without moving away. He opted to do little things even though it was just dinner at the cottage.He knew it was best if they didn’t head back there. He had confirmed from Rea through the mind link that they weren’t through and he didn’t want anything to ruin his surprise which would have been an obstacle to her forgiveness. Going for a run was the best way he could stall her so he offered the overture to her, "Why don’t we go for a run?" he smiled nervously, afraid she wasn’t going to agree to the idea and end up deciding they head back.Looking at him skeptically, she tried to figure out what he was up to. She made it clear she hadn’t forgiven him. Didn’t he get the message? Or the silent treatment didn’t work their tr
It was midday and the ruffling of scrub could be heard through the entire woodland as wolf fighters raced to their pack boundary. They had been notified about the rogues that had come to disturb the serenity of the pack. They howled, making a long, loud cry expressing anger. The howlings creak like the sound of wounded animals whose blood spurted from the gash.Taking the lead was Aurora's wolf. Her wolf scooted as she gave a lengthy distance from the shifters, indicating she was faster than them.Apart from her speed, she was also a wolf tracker prompting her to earn the leader of the wolf fighters. Although her wolf was a little bit fragile and wasn't as strong as the male shifters, one could tell she was brave and so was her wolf.Getting to the border of their pack, they stopped at their track when they felt the presence of the rogues. Aurora roared and the rest did the very thing since they couldn't catch sight of rogues, only their scent. "Stay put." Aurora mind-linked her adhe
It was an hour before midnight and Aurora had just finished wearing down her dinner since she and her grandmother had made sure they designed her birthday cake in a glamorous layout to indicate her twenty-first birthday. She looked across the dining table to see Fennick engrossed in playing games while he dipped into a burger beside him. He had been in her cottage for the past an hour, helping them out with gifts and decorations.That had always been her birthday routine every year and she had always had fun. She stood up from her harness and strolled to the sitting room to meet her best friend."It's almost midnight," Fennick uttered sniffing her beside him, his gaze on the motor game he was playing. "I know, I need to rest a little bit." She conveyed hugging the couch pillow to her chest. Fennick stole her glance and returned to his game. "This is your first time complaining on the night of your birthday. What's up with you?" He inquired.Aurora shrugged, "You're ethical, I feel w
Standing at the far end at the top of the mountain, Sage could see his mate, playing and laughing together with another person. He was in pain. He felt like something had just been stung into his heart and he couldn't pluck it out. He was trying hard not to believe what he just heard. For the past five years being out of his pack, he'd always craved to return home and find his precious mate, maybe he had her at his home. However, he'd returned and he'd found his mate the moment he came back which has been the easiest way ever but then, his mate didn't want him.He had come to visit his favourite place which was the spring after missing it for so many years. But, while enjoying the blowing breeze and atmosphere, he smelled the tastiest cherry he had ever smelled. His wolf dangled in his head at the scent and he knew instantly that the scent had come from his long-found mate. He sprang up immediately from where he sat and headed down the mountain where the scent was coming from, hittin
