WINTER. “It’s suffocating sitting so close to Jacob like this but there’s not much I can do about it. Nikolai is so intent on finding his men and even I can’t stop him. I can only pray for us not to get killed. Even Jacob looks so unsure but it’s either this or he keeps riding alone in the middle of nowhere until he gets lost. I guess his family is still intact, a son, a wife and an over bearing mother. I hope all the chiefs are happy about their new Luna and the next Alpha that she bore them and I wonder if his mother is still the same. Does she still have that nasty attitude that she always gave me? “So Winter, how was your stay there. Learn any new things?” Jacob asks trying to make conversation but I don’t even make a sound.“You can’t ask her things like that!” Nikolai says quickly coming to my rescue. “Well I don’t know what else to say!” Jacob retorts almost immediately.“Well then don’t say anything or better yet, you try to come up with a plan. We have to free all the s
HUNTER “Why do you look like someone predicted the day that you die?” Daphne asks and I shrug. “Ever since we came to this place , it has always been one problem or the other. I think we should go back to our home. It might be difficult to work from there but at least it will take away all the pressure.” She suggests and I don’t entirely disagree with it but I can’t leave this palace until Nikolai returns. I can’t let myself do that. Someone has to keep this place in order and aunt Hyacinth was doing a fine job but there’s somehow still so much to do.“I can’t.” I say and get up to leave because I have no desire for this conversation to turn into an argument. It’s a really sensitive topic.“Where are you going?” she asks and I could sense the determination in her voice.“I have to oversee what the workers are doing and I’m a little late too.” I lie. I don’t have to go to the workers today but I do have to leave this room before this small talk morphs into a big one and becomes one
HUNTER.“What’s going on here?” “What does it look like? We’re taking over.” He growled glaring at me and pushing me out of the way roughly. “I demand an explanation! who do you think you are to take over? You don’t own this pack!” I yell stomping my feet on the ground. “You demand an explanation? That’s funny I demand one too. Who’s going first?” He laughs. The mockery in his voice angers me.“You have no business in this land so take every thing you came with and leave before I make you!” My voice is cold and stern but it has no effect on these manner-less men. “That's not going to happen.” He answers taking a step towards me. He’s several inches taller than me and his shoulders are so broad that I bet no one can see me from behind him but I’m not scared of him or his height, I’ll protect this place with my life.“I don’t see why not. There’s no one to stop me.” He chuckles and orders his men to proceed into the palace but the guards stand in their way. “I think you should list
HUNTER.The warriors sure do eat a lot and the workers are inevitably tired. Aunt Hyacinth is not here to help or give them instructions so the kitchen is a little messy and Daphne is doing the best she can to help but the twins have been more than a little fussy lately. She suspects that they’re ill but she’s been a little hesitant to call the pack doctor for treatment. She thinks it’s nothing serious.He’ll be here to tend to the warriors today so I guess we’re going to find out what’s really wrong with the twins. “Are you okay?” Daphne asks worriedly staring at the blood dripping from the back of my hand. She’s been ignoring me for a while now so I guess I should he thankful to the man that wounded me with his sword.“Daphne, I know I should have said something but I have to process my thoughts firsts and—”“I’ll get some ointment, the wound is not that deep.” She stares at my hand once more and walks away. It’s going to take a lot more than a scratch to get this woman's forgiven
HUNTER. “You better start talking! You only get two chances and you already lost one so if I were you I’d be very careful with the last one.” “Your Alpha is dead! That is all we have to say to you.” “No, you actually have more to say but you just don’t know it yet, I’ll be right back with a little something to jog your foggy memories.” “Wait! That is truly all we know. We were sent to take over this pack and enslave all the people that we couldn’t sell as slaves.” “Who sent you?” “Alpha Jethro. He gave us the instruction right before he went to kill your Alpha.” “Did you see Jethro kill Nikolai?” “Who's Nikolai?” “My Alpha!” “We didn’t have to, your Alpha had already been hit with out poison arrows twice, all that was left was to finish him off.” All I’m hearing is that there’s still a chance that Nikolai killed Jethro. He’s not one to go down easily but where is he? Where on earth could he be? I have to contain this news about the possibility of Nikolai being dead for
NIKOLAI The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this man was that I was going to have to kill my father twice and I was right He's a Tyson too and that can only mean one thing; that my father had siblings. “It’s probably just a coincidence that he has the same surname as you and looks like your father split into two. We should just apologize to the big guy and be on our way.” Winter whispered tugging at my hand desperately. “I won’t take long.” I assure her but I don’t think it’s the assurance that she wants. “We shouldn’t even be here, are you forgetting the plan? Are you forgetting Jacob? He’s never going to forgive you if he dies.” I almost forgot about Jacob but like I said, I won’t take long. I just want to have a word with this man. “I think you’re at the wrong place Tyson junior.” He growls but I’m not in the least threatened, Winter on the other hand looks like she just offended a god. “We’ll be on our way sir, we’re deeply sorry for the inconvenience.” Wint
WINTER.Something weird is going on. I feel like every door we walk through leads to another big secret that couldn’t keep itself from us anymore. The gates were oddly familiar but I waved them off because I thought it could have just been nothing but a mere coincidence and now there’s yet another Tyson staring us in the face?!“I’m sure you travelled quite a long journey to he here so tell me what would you prefer, tea or juice or maybe water would do. Would you like the maids to prepare a bath for you?”I want all of those things that he just mentioned but everything comes with a price and nobody is nice to their enemy for no reason. “Before we discuss anything else, I need you to hand Jacob back to me. He has done nothing wrong.” Nikolai says, his frown not faltering even once. “Oh, that guy! He’s doing a lot better than you think. I’ll show you.” He descends from his self-made throne and his robe flows on the floor behind him as he walks towards us. The robe looks heavy, I’m s
HUNTER “Charlene, I love you but you have to stop crying, your tears are not helping.” Daphne says putting her down in her cot and doing her best to stop her own tears from falling too. I told her about my plan to go back for Nikolai and she somehow managed to coax the truth out of me. She knows Nikolai asked me to be his Beta. She also knows that she can’t talk me out of my decision to accept his offer. What I don’t know is what to do to get her to stop crying. “Daphne, I’m really sorry that I didn’t tell you. I just didn’t know how to spring up the fact that I was going to be the second-in-command to someone who’s father you hated so much.” “You and I know that it’s not about his father!” Daphne yells. “You know what this is about.” I honestly don’t. I have no idea what this about.“Why don’t you want me to become Beta?” I ask calmly. It’s a dangerous question to ask but it’s all about taking risks at the end of the day. “You think I don’t want you to become Beta? That’s ho
