Suffocating atmosphere. Dark room. Pin drop silence. And a silent Zander laying on the hospital bed.
He was covered with sweat from head to toe. The white thin mattress under him was a pool of wetness. Ryley's blood was showing its effect on him.
While the dusky suffocating air became even worse, the cut on his forehead closed bit by bit until there was no opening nor scar left. The creases from his forehead, the tension in muscles as well as the soreness in his stomach subsided, making him feel subconsciously better.
He was still faint yet he could feel himself in discomfort and draped in heat as sweat beads increased on his body. It was as if he just came out from a very hot shower and laid in a room sheeted under the hotness of a heater, amplifying his sweating.
His muscles tensed again as the blood injected in his body was at the end phase of healing. Zander shook invariably as thou
Heyy! How's the chapter? Well I purposely sprinkled some bits of humor into this chapter coz I think the last few ones have been way too aggressively depressing. So would the upcoming chapters be. Wanted to dedicate this to the Bully bastards' friendship:))) hope you liked it. Don't forget to comment and vote. Ik I've annoyed you by not updating for a long time but I promise next will be 3 chapters together.)
Outside, the golden glitters of sun was draping earth in its cloak while here, inside, it was the rays of joy and hope creeping on Ryley's mouth. A few droplets of happy tears blurred his eyes as he pulled Zander into his embrace. "Dude, you do not know how much I missed you!" His voice showed his emotions. Although Zander was mentally yearning for one and only, his mate, Reyne; he was compelled to welcome Ryley's happiness. His own mouth smiled. Zander sighed near his shoulder, feeling his friendship yielding him more and more strength. "I miss her, Ryley. I want her." Unlike his actions, his heart addressed something else. Ryley broke the hug. He was still smiling between his emotional profile as he shook his head in agreement. Well honestly, Ryley missed Reyne too. Because she was his best friend's love and who could know better than him how it feels to have your love kidnapped and taken a
99Zander's POV'Control, Zander. Control.' With my fingers balled up, feet restlessly tapping on the cold floor and eyes staring nowhere in the air, I tried to keep cool.My head was a boiling volcano. I can feel the bubble popping in my skull and exasperation boil like lava in its mouth. Why? Because I was not being heard. These stupid alphas were not ready to listen to me. They drew their own stupid guesses while applying ever so bloody stupid logics."Gosh, I am telling you guys, let's just go and fuck that orc. I bet he'd spill out truth better than our stupid guessing." this was the third time I gritted and interrupted the alpha leaders between their conversations.They were generally discussing the statement in Hiatian language the army of green slimy morons had aforementioned across from me. The alphas had a big fat old book spread on the glass table in the middle of the
Dark Shine Pack's Prison, "Sir, please!" "You can't break the rules." A bunch of guards hustled behind us as they attempted to stop us from barging in the Dark Shine Pack's prison. We do not have underground cells any more. With modernization, our way of handling the rogues and other criminals also improved. Now we have a huge building aka a prison built for the guilty. It is located outside the residential area and under tight security. Ryley and I nonetheless broke it. We not just broke in using our car inside the gates but also slit through the wall of wardens trying to seize our movements. Yet, using our speedy inhuman run and wolf abilities we managed to invade our fathers' organized security. "He is held in the below-ground cell under a high-tech area." Ryley spoke as we continued walking hastily further and further.
101 The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. Afternoon was getting replaced by the evening nonetheless no exceptional variation was observed in the house of Alpha Hercules. It was as is. Occupied with Alpha males and their Betas. Books scattered all over the table between the couch. Some even littered near their feet. Empty dozen cups of coffee and tea alongside platters with cookie crumbs sat somewhere by the side of the couch or under the table. The ladies were tiringly yawning. The male still absorbed into the books with the intent to find out something strong and helpful. Sadly, no distinct clue could be achieved. They made no progress except for shuffling from one suspect to the other. It was hard to comprehend where and how the Ifrit came and went. For the first time, all the best Alphas and the best st
Tears.A lot of tears not only blanketed Zander's vision but also clogged his breathing.The oxygen he had gulped after escorting the old woman inside now froze in his lungs, making his abdominal muscles clench in anxiety.A week. Or maybe more. Or maybe it was after an eternity that he was meeting with someone who met his Reyne recently. It was difficult to put this feeling into words and had it not been so hard to process it, he would have instantly thrown a set of questions in the old lady's way and obtained his answers.Sadly, his voice was gone. The rigidity his muscles engulfed did not seem to leave him any sooner. His rational thinking was overpowered by bewilderment and he quietly, absent-mindedly and mentally scared for his mate's well-being, followed the woman to the foyer.The alphas welcomed her with nervous smiles. They emp
A small luggage containing nothing more than some clothes. The wolves were all staring at her with their scrutinizing gaze when she reached inside her bag and pulled out a journal. Not just any journal but a torn, brittle journal that looked decades old with yellow pages.It was thicker than its usual size because it had many cutouts from newspapers and photos glued in it. When the lady opened the first page for Alpha Hercules to look at the photo stuck in it, at his back Brandon gasped.His eyes grew unevenly wide while the others sought to take a look at the picture on the first page of the journal."Bloody hell! I have read about him in the old library. A crazy stupid asshole he is." The Gamma's son exclaimed with wide eyes.Yep, he was there too. Reyne's first ever friend.Alpha Hercules took the journal and his calm expressions bec
Silence pulsed between them. Her words were a vicious kick to their stomachs. They were having a hard time processing the information. But there Zander maintained a sinister expression as he urged her to continue, "Then what, Mrs. Augustin? What next?"Her hands were shivering. Astonished, she looked him in the eyes and resumed, "When I couldn't bear them getting hurt, I told Reyne that I would help her escape. She declined to leave due her injuries and that her father was incapable of escaping with her. Rather she provided me the address to this place and requested that I see Alpha Hercules and tell him everything and call help for her. She said that her mate would come save her."Zander who was now standing next to Alpha Kent shuddered. Adrenaline pumped into his veins and tears blurred his vision. His father got his back as he rendered him comfort.Nevertheless Zander glared at the journal in
105 "Well... I am still having a hard time sinking it in." Zander looked from his cup of black coffee to his Alpha friend as he remarked with an open mouth. "What? The weapon?" Zander guessed because it was a hot topic of discussion out there in the foyer between the Alphas who were chit-chatting amid their important conversation about how to take this animal of a man, human by birth yet a disgusting creature at the heart, down? "Um yeah, I mean, would you have thought that the axe you were using to kill that scoundrel of a creature was actually an armament of the first paladin?" Ryley said in a breathy voice. "No." Zander shrugged his shoulders. He was looking into his phone at the pictures he and Reyne clicked some minutes before her abduction. His mind was somewhere else and he failed to share Ryley's astonishment on the topic concerning the axe of the first paladin. It was too hard to accept that the weapon they had bee
