“Come on Rhea!” Xavier called but she had already started walking back inside the cabin. In less than a minute, she was out of sight and Xavier was left facing four Lycans with really bad intentions for him.“Don’t be a pussy,” Salvador laughed and drew out his sword. “Come on let’s fight like men and let’s see who would have her.” Xavier turned to face him and shook his head. He drew out his own sword and steadied himself preparing for his attack. He was not one bit scared of Salvador even after all that Rhea had said. He was very confident that he was going to kill him.Salvador attacked him as soon as he drew out his sword, not even giving him any further time to think and Xavier found himself on the defensive immediately. Xavier side stepped and moved back a couple times, trying his best to dodge Salvador’s blows and fortunately for him, he was able to get by the first five strikes without a single scratch. Salvador was not getting tired however as he continued to swing his heavy
At that moment, Xavier willed the earth to open up and swallow him but it didn’t. There was definitely not any lie he was going to tell Layla to justify the fact that he had slept under the same roof with Rhea. He knew exactly what she was thinking had happened and he wished that he could just prove it to her that it was not the case.“It’s not what you think,” Xavier sighed. “We were not together all night.”“Oh but you two were together for some time during the night?” Layla stared at Xavier. “Doing what exactly?”“Calm down, Layla,” Xavier heaved. “Layla helped me a lot on the way here.”“I’m sure she did help you,” Layla stared at him. “In a lot of ways. I’m ashamed to call you my brother. I can’t believe you have been fucking the enemy, the same person who’s father is responsible for the death of your father and the same person that kidnapped your own little sister just a few days ago. How low could you go?”“Do not talk to your king in that manner,” Jimin warned. He turned to fa
“What reports do you bring me from your scouting?” Ghost asked in a frigid voice, staring straight at the array of weapons lining the opposite wall with a murderous intensity.The anger swirling in him was like a thunder storm, and he desperately needed an outlet for his blood-thirsty urges.The warrior standing in the shadows near the entrance to the room, kept staring at the floor. It was better to stare at the dark floor for hours, than look up and risk angering the Alpha further. Especially when Ghost was in such a dangerous mood.“The scouts bring the same news, Alpha.” The warrior said. “Your daughter has been sighted in Black Wolf Pack territory.” He paused, like he was contemplating death, before he finally added in a lower tone. “Rumors have it that she plans to become their Luna.”An enraged growl escaped from Ghost, and he swiped a hand across a table, displacing everything on it. Several objects clattered to the floor in a thunderous crash. Most of them burst into millions
“How are you feeling now, Rhea?” One of the pack nurses asked, as she walked closer to where Rhea sat on the bed. She was middle aged, and one of the few people who were friendly towards her. Most werewolves of the Black wolf pack were cold and hostile towards Rhea, because she was the daughter of a terrible man than had killed so many of them.They were never disrespectful to her, because they would not want to anger Alpha Xavier, but it hurt Rhea, that she was paying for the sins of her father.It made her hate Ghost even more.Rhea’s long white hair poured over her bare shoulders as she straightened up, giving the nurse a small smile. “I feel a lot better now, thanks to you.”Her sea green eyes followed the nurse’s movements as she crouched down to hold her feet, asking, “Is your feet still hurting as much as before?”Rhea shook her head no. “I think it’s healing up nicely. I can now walk around without limping or wincing.” The nurse nodded and proceeded to take off the thin strip
The entire crowd went death quiet the moment Rhea spoke up. There were staring at her with a mix of emotions. Some had disbelief etched in their expressions, others had wariness, fear, or downright shock. The warrior let out a wry smile, taking a few steps forward.“Lycan, you do know that you can’t use your wolf in here, right?” He grinned in a smug voice. “After all, what else can you do in here, princess?”“Be respectful to her, or you’ll have to answer to the Alpha. And trust me, you don’t want to get Alpha Xavier mad at you.” Jimin thundered from where he stood, crossing his arms. Then he looked at Rhea, “Are you sure about this? Unless you are completely defeated, no one can pull you out of that ring except the Alpha. And he is not here.”Rhea raised her chin at him. “I am sure.”Chloe’s eyes widened. “What are you doing? That guy is a brute.”She turned back to face Chloe, green eyes twinkling. “The only good thing about being a lycan, is that everyone can fight. Even as a pamp
Rhea doubled back immediately she heard those words, raising her hands. “What? I don’t want to fight you!”Jimin glanced at Layla with his eyebrows furrowed and blue eyes narrowed, wondering what the hell she was up to now. Layla placed a hand in her hip, arching a thin eyebrow at Rhea. “Why don’t you want to fight me? Do you think I’m not strong enough?”“No!” Rhea’s eyes widened. “I just don’t want to fight Xavier’s sister, okay? Not after you let me into your pack, I don’t want things to get violent, okay?”She was close to panicking, wondering why Layla would want to do this. Rhea had no desire to fight with her, and she was sure Xavier would also be upset of he heard that she and Layla fought. And this was not even a friendly match.The winner of this fight has to make sure their opponent can’t get up. That’s brutal.Layla smiled slightly, walking forward towards Rhea. “Well, too bad. You can’t choose who your opponent is or isn’t . That’s the burden of being a winner around here
In the Alpha’s training room, Xavier twisted around and threw a dart straight at the target on the wall far across the room. It hit bull’s eye, but only by some stroke of luck. One wrong movement when he threw it, and it could have missed.“Woah..”“Oh..”A couple of low hoots cane from the few male warriors around who were training with him. He turned around, brushing his back hair back with one roughened hand, and shrugged, “What can I say? I’m talented.”“Some talent that is.” A bored voice intoned from the entrance to the room. “You almost fucking missed. Even the nurses could aim better.”From the playful jab combined with raw sarcasm, Xavier knew exactly who would dare talk to him like that. Jimin Kong. His fucking beta.The warriors snickered from Jimin’s words, and some misfortunate person accidentally laughed out loud, but quickly choked on it before he would incur the wrath of the alpha. Jimin walked into the room, his toned and muscular arms crossed in front of him, and his
Rhea could sense someone coming towards her through the foliage, but the wind was blowing in the opposite way, so she could not even rely on her senses to tell who it was.She heard another snap, and she shifted, staring at the spot it had come from. For a moment if she wondered if she should hide or prepare to fight the mysterious person causing a rustle in the trees. After the incident at the fighting grounds yesterday, Rhea felt like she had somehow made things worse.After all, Xavier got mad at Layla in front of everyone. And the pack members loved Layla, meaning, they had more reason to dislike Rhea now. So could someone be crazy enough to try to get back at her.The rustling sound got even closer, until a blonde hair came into view, and Chloe popped out, brushing some leaves off her hair.Rhea let out a loud sigh. “It’s you. Thank goodness, you got me scared for a second there.”Chloe smiled, stepping closer to the rocks by the spring. “What are you doing all the way out here,
