HIGHLORD'S POV"What do you mean they escaped? Find them!" I shouted to the guards. They both cringed at my outburst, I wanted them to know that I was angry; pissed even.Tonight didn't go according to plan. I thought the demon wolf would have accompanied Gerard. We programmed those trapped chairs, especially for him. It was his blood we needed to nourish the strength of my minions, but instead, he sent that human, Gerard Smith to come alone - well, and that witch.Which reminded me, I had to find out who she was since I didn't remember seeing her before."We sent patrols in the forest, we are waiting for word from them as we speak, Your Eminence," one of the guards answered. "This pack is smarter than any I've ever dealt with before - they'll expect us to assume they left in the woods. What about patrols on the road - did you send out any?"They lowered their heads. "No, Your Eminence - we didn't expect we would need to -""What are you still doing here then? GO!" I yelled. I felt my
"Zander, tell me everything there is to know about Amy Wormington," Hazel demanded. She was hurt that he kept secrets from her. She caught sight of the strain Zander felt from the lengths he went through to bury such information deep into his mind, hoping Hazel wouldn't pick up on it. "You deliberately hid it from me. You chose to keep this from me, Zander. But why - why would you intentionally lie to me?" Hazel paced back and forth in the small space of the RV's bedroom. She paused and stared directly into her husband's eyes. "Oh, my God! You love her - that's why you went to such lengths to hide her from me, YOU FUCKING LOVE HER!" Hazel doubled her hand into a fist and punched the wall. "FUCKKK!"Zander hurried to her side. He grabbed her palm. "Kitten, stop overreacting." He lifted her bruised knuckles to his lips, and he licked each of them - healing them with his saliva. "I love no one else but you." He released her palm then circled his hands around her waist and pulled her to h
"What are you hiding, James?" Julia asked. For the past couple of hours, she could sense his distress, something was bothering her brother-in-law. James was so taken with her question he almost swerved off the road. "Easy, are you trying to get us killed?" Julia held her chest as she settled in the chair behind him. "I thought I was the only one who sense that he is hiding something," Isis added. She was sitting in the passenger's seat. "Is it that obvious?""I'm a telepath, of course, I can tell you're hiding something from us - so you might as well tell me before I fish it from your head - I was told by a few werewolves that it hurts," Julia giggled. "I'm afraid if Hazel finds out she'll hate me.""I raised that girl and she has the biggest most forgiving heart in the world, plus she could never hate you, James. You're her hero - you know she cried every night for three years after you disappeared."James' eyes got teary. "And I didn't remember her, I couldn't," he sniffled. "Som
"Kimberly, bring me some warm water," Isabelle ordered the young omega. "Yes doctor," Kimberly bowed as she scrambled to get the warm water. "How's Freddy?" Izzy asked Ingrid while she checked Gerry's temperature. "Gerry's burning up - Cleo, help me take his clothes off. Duncan and Allen fetch me a few buckets of ice.""I think Freddy will be ok," Ingrid stated as she applied the antidote to his neck. "This should counteract the silver - now I leave it to his wolf to heal him," she sighed as she washed him with the warm water. "Maybe I could help his wolf - I assume he may have beta or even alpha blood, that's why he managed to stay alive. If he was an omega, he would have been dead," Isabelle wiped her hands in her coat and strode over to the bed where Freddy lay. "Hold him down.""I don't think I'll like this," Ingrid gulped as she put pressure on his chest. Isabelle took his left foot in her palms. Freddy was in and out of consciousness. A low groan slipped from his lips, which
HAZEL'S POVSalim led us inside. The air was hot and humid, but it wasn't what I was expecting. My eyes roamed around the province, snake couples were strolling holding hands and snake children were playing in the grassland to our left. They looked almost human from their heads to their waists, but had a serpent's tail from their waists down - Like centaurs only instead of half-man half-horse, they were half-man half-snake. It was a gorgeous town with human-appropriate buildings. There was a marketplace just like the ones you'd find in the human world. Fresh tomatoes and carrots were laid out beautifully with their arrays of colour lined out on stalls. Snake-women conversing and smiling friendly with each other. We stopped at a garage, and a burly snake-man wearing a blue cap with grease stains came out to greet us. "Salim, who are your friends?" He asked, wiping his hand on a red rag. "This is Alpha Zander and his friends," Salim replied.His eyes broadened and he strode nearer to
ZANDER'S POVI didn't have the time to be wasting on a love triangle. I could smell the she-snake's arousal and Salim wasn't hiding his either. The fury that swept off Mullins was almost stifling. I had to intervene. "Mullins, how do we get to Serpents Valley?" This question seemed to yank everyone back to the matter at hand - except for Mullins.Mullins glared at Thelma for a few more seconds then he slithered up to her and planted a wet kiss on her lips. Everyone could tell Thelma was not into it. Salim hissed, his snake tongue rattling in frustration out of his head. Mullins pulled from the kiss. "This is my wife, Thelma."We exchanged greetings but Thelma kept her head down after that. "Mullins, I don't mean to be rude, but time is of the essence," Isis spoke. She had been quiet since we arrived. I wondered what was that about. "Well witch, I have never been there, but I know where the entrance is.""Then tell us," I said. "It's at the science lab," Mullins explained. "We usual
ZANDER'S POV"You're telling me she still hasn't -" I hesitated when I noticed Hazel's eyes following every syllable that slipped from my lips. "No, my sister is - well, a very peculiar vampire," Dimitri chuckled. "So how do we get this sister of yours here?" Hazel made a valid point."Yeah, Isis' portals don't allow vampires to pass through them," I sighed. "Alpha Zander, maybe I can help. We have a portal door inside the Serpents Corp building. If Dimitri knows where his sister is then two of my guards can go get her," Salim illustrated. This had me thinking if only I knew where Zoey was, how easily I could get my sister back. "OK then, let's go get the virgin," Carson added. "I can't allow all of you inside. Maybe just four of you," Salim disclosed. "OK. Dimitri, Isis, and James will accompany me then," I declared. "Wait! I thought you didn't want to let me outta your sight!" Hazel pouted. "And Alpha, what if this is a trap - no offence Salim-""None taken Carson," Salim ch
DECLAN'S POVThe agony was undeniable. Why had the Moon Goddess forsaken me?I stood there getting punched in the face repeatedly, as Danika and Ushi were entangled in each other's arms. It should have been me. I had been yearning for my mate for years, merely to discover she died as a newborn. You would have thought the Moon Goddess was finished with trampling my heart, but no, she had more plans for me when I later found out that my dead mate was a twin to my Luna, whom I can't stop thinking about sexually. I deserved to go to hell for all the naughty, disturbing visions I was having of Hazel - fuck I would embrace death by Alpha's claws. Wouldn't that be poetic?How long dear Moon Goddess must I suffer like this - how long? I cried to myself. I concluded that after I accompany Alpha and Luna to the Fae world, I would leave the Pack. It was unmistakable that the Moon Goddess was torturing me. I considered myself a strong wolf, but time had proved me mistaken with each moment my e
