"I need your help, though. I need you to help me find Iris and Matt." I nearly whispered, but I knew she heard me. "I know it's been….""Don't you even think about saying decades." Brigid cut me off with a look that could kill me."I know it's been a while. I just need you to try...please. For Iris? For Alastor? For me?" I looked down at the ground as I finished my plea.The seconds felt like an eternity as I waited for her to respond to me. I focused on the soft roar of the rain falling on the roof, but instead of soothing me, it only made me more anxious than she would reject my request. I knew that Brigid stopped using magic before I was even born. I wasn't sure how her magic worked or even if she could do anything since she started blocking out the whispers so long ago. Anything she could do would be helpful. Knowing we were doing everything we could do was better than knowing we didn't try every avenue."You know, I can't make any promisRelated chapters
Once Upon An Alpha Chapter Seventy One
MattPain radiated throughout my head. I tried to open my eyes, but the world was fuzzy and began to spin uncontrollably. I blinked, trying to clear my vision, but if anything, it made my sight worse. Thud, thud, thud. My head pounded away. I was lying face down; something damp was pressed against my body. I splayed my fingers out, feeling around me. I wasn’t in my cell. Where were my shackles? Pan was still dormant, though. If the silver was gone, where was Pan? Why wasn’t he back? I inhaled deeply; the overpowering smell of damp soil and leaves invaded my senses, causing me to wince as the thudding in my head struck again. Pain ran down my spine, like a wildfire, as I tried to push myself up, but I groaned as I clasped my neck, falling back to the soil. What had Kroll done to me?“Iris…” I murmured as I tried to sit up again. My whole body felt as heavy as lead, and every slight movement sent my head spinning. Nauseous washed over me from the tip of my toes all the w

Orion“The shadows whisper about someone who will be on the edge of death.” Brigid’s voice haunted me even though I was no longer even in Black Moon Territory. Her talk with the whispers wasn’t as specific as I had hoped for, but I was grateful for anything I could get. The thundering sound of paws echoed throughout the forest. The sun had vanished behind the mountain, casting shadows over the land.“Matt and Iris are playing a deadly game with Kroll. Follow the river North to save a life.” Brigid’s voice would not leave me alone.Alastor and Damian flanked me. Their black fur almost caused them to vanish in the dwindling twilight. Twigs snapped as we slowed for a moment, sniffing the air and ground. Where was it? I needed a scent, anything to tell me where to go.***This way.*** Damian darted out from behind me, heading towards the west. His tail threatened to disappear into the trees without Alastor or me. Both Alastor and I hastily ran after him.

RoseA faint buzzing echoed through the hospital room as tufts of black and rainbow hair showered down over the white sheet as I ran a pair of hair clippers over Iris’s head. Iris had closed her eyes and seemed to zone out. It seemed like she was enjoying it, but I didn’t want to pry her about her feelings on it. Maybe it was like getting rid of the remainder of her time with Kroll that she enjoyed the most about it. The door to Iris’s room crashed open as her brothers entered. The curtain by the door fluttered in the air as Alastor threw it out of their way. Both of them were in talking over each other until they saw what I was doing. It was like they became frozen entirely. The curtain came back and hit Alastor in the side of the face, reminding him that the world wasn’t freezing with them.“What are you doing?” Alastor asked. Horror was written all over his face as he stomped over to snatch the clippers from my hands.“Get your head out of your ass. I

RoseHarriet and I walked out of the cold, sterile pack hospital with our arms linked. We were greeted with a shower of leaves drifting down from the tree branches in the breeze. Alastor, Brigid, Damian, and Orion stayed in Iris’s hospital room. I think that the boys just need to be around her while she was conscious since they found her in such a rough state in the river. I wanted to check in with Iris about how she felt about Matt finding his mate, but that was a conversation without her brothers or my mate present in the room. I made a mental note to check in with her later on the subject.“You look pooped.” Harriet broke the silence first. I turned to her and scrunched my nose with my tongue sticking out. Not a glamorous face, but it felt right in the moment. A pregnant pack member passed and gave a small chuckle causing a blush to erupt on my cheeks.“Doesn’t everybody look pooped these days?” I half yawned and stretched, trying to hide my slight em

Matt“Well, well, well.” Kroll’s voice sang out from a nearby tree. “Should I slice your throat or maybe take inspiration from Alastor and just throw you off a cliff?”“I thought you were supposed to be good at this? It’s been hours, old man.” I breathed heavily.“Why do you have such a death wish?” Kroll leaped down from his perch and stalked towards me. I began to back away from him until I felt the edge of the ground disappear beneath my heel. Kroll’s hand found its way around my neck, his eyes threatening to recreate Alastor’s accident. “Kroll.” A familiar voice called from behind Kroll. “Release him before I return the favor.” A deep rumbling growl echoed throughout the forest.I kept replaying the scene in my mind over and over again as I sat on an uncomfortable old wooden chair at a table with a silver shackle wrapped around my wrist, chaining me to the wall. I rapped my fingers on the table, listening to echoes that bounced off of the wall

OrionI sat in my office drumming my pen on my desk. Sprawled across the desk before me were maps of the surrounding mountains and towns. I had yet to figure out where Kroll was keeping Matt. After we recovered, Iris, I had been hoping that she would have been a little more helpful. It was unfortunate that Kroll was covering his tracks so well. If only he hadn’t drugged her, maybe she would have been able to give me any hints at all would have made a world of difference. I would never hold it against her. It’s not like she decided to be kidnapped.I groaned as I dropped the pen onto the desk and roughly ran my hands across my face. It felt like I was running in a traffic circle, but I had no idea which path was my exit. I pushed back in my chair away from my desk and walked to the balcony throwing open the doors. I stepped out in the crisp Autumn air. My eyes wandered over my pack; every building represented my pack members. All of those people were relying on

Orion“Alastor and I are going to Silver Crescent….” before I could finish my sentence, Rose’s head snapped up from my chest, and she pushed herself away from me. Her face was an open book, the fear, confusion, and curiosity screamed from every pore.“But, why?” She clambered to her feet, fishing her hoodie from the floor and throwing it on, hiding her skin from me.“I want to take a look for myself, but this time only you and Harriet will know where Alastor and I are.” I slid out of my chair and collected my clothes off of the floor. I grabbed Rose’s sports bra, socks, and shoes and placed them on the edge of my desk. I felt her eyes glued to me, but not because of my nudity or arousal.“And I want to go let Delilah run free in the woods, but that’s a stupid idea right now too.” Her eyes threw daggers at me with every word she spoke.“Come on, Rose,” I sighed as I slipped back on my boxer briefs and jeans. My belt clasp jingled as I fumbled around

MattThe days went by painfully slow. They consisted of screaming outside my door, gross food delivered by random rogues I had never seen before, and the occasional visit from Hodges. Whenever I saw Hodges, the conversations were never really informative and left me frustrated. He kept his cards close to his chest, and it got to the point where just seeing him made me want to hawk a loogie in his face.“Matt, are you even listening to me?” Hodges voiced polluted the sanctuary of my mind.“No, I am not.” I dryly replied; I didn’t even bother looking at him. I kept my eyes glued to the tiny beam of daylight streaming into the room. Goddess, how I missed the feel of sunshine on my skin. I missed shifting into my wolf form, feeling the soil beneath the pads of my paws. I even missed the lovesick wolf who lived in my mind who drooled over every female who was nice to us. I wondered what Pan would do if I ever got to see Pru again without being drugged or shackled in
