As far as I know, no one outside the pack knows about me. My birth had been hidden from the werewolf world, no one knew about me. Could it be that my pack members betrayed me? From what I know, rogues attack my mum on her way to the dark forest pack. And then her body was brought back to our pack several weeks later.
I knew this because of the autopsy my dad had insisted the pack doctor conduct on her immediately after she was brought back. The pack had said they found her dead in the river and truth be told her body was all bloated and blue. ‘You look so pathetic.’ The voice of my mate snapped me out of my thoughts. I sat up looking at him as he walked towards my direction with his hands around Hailey’s waist. I watched them as they played the role of the perfect mate in front of me. I just couldn’t understand why he would lie to the entire pack that Hailey was his mate. I mean what would he gain from doing so anyway? If he wanted to become the Alpha of my pack he could have simply married me not to talk of the fact that I was already his mate in the first place. Besides Hailey’s mate was out there somewhere so why does she even accept him as her mate? Wasn’t she afraid of hurting her mate? What would she do if she found her mate? Would she just reject him because of the title of Luna? Nothing makes sense to me right now and my throbbing head didn't make matters easy for me. ‘I see that you are recovering pretty fast.’ Julian said and I scoffed. Recovering my foot! I am in immersed pain and he could see that. I passed out for god knows how long only to wake up and find myself locked up in a dungeon. I’ve not had anything to eat and drink for days and I’m sure I must look a mess not to mention the lethal amount of wolfsbane that was in my system that was just waiting to kill me at the right time. I was literally dying and all he could say was that I was recovering quickly, this bastard! I looked away from them not wanting to meet their eyes course all wanted to do was rip their eyes out, rip them apart bit by bit then feed their remains to the dog. But I also wanted to make them live in pain and suffering just as they inflicted it on me. ‘What do you want?’ I asked instead my voice sounding foreign even to my own ears. Shit! The wolf’s bane had affected my vocal cords too. I whimpered feeling hurt, my mother had once told me that my voice was as beautiful as that of a fairy. I know it was childish but I couldn’t help but cry as I knew that my voice would never be the same, another part of me that my mom cherished was gone and it was all because of this bastard, I thought. The rage and anger fueled me, adrenaline pumping into me. I launched at him in full force only to hit the iron bars with a loud thud sound. I got back on my feet trying my best to open the bars, the silver burning my skin, yet all I felt was anger. ‘Feisty! I like that.’ He smirked a glint passing in his eyes as she stared at me hungrily. Hailey that was beside him let out a cry of protest. ‘Alpha darling, this isn’t fair on me.’ She pouted childishly at him rubbing her body against his and I could see the thing in between his legs standing to attention. ‘You will always be my Luna, Hailey. It is you or no one else.’ He assured her caressing her cheeks softly. 'Why don’t we teach this bitch a lesson?’ Hailey glared at me before pulling him down for a kiss, and my body shouldered in pain yet I refused to cry, I refuse to look away. Maybe watching them was what I needed in other to get over the dread of the days that are about to come. I watched as they proceeded from just kissing each other feverishly to him trying to get his cock inside her. She smiled into the kiss allowing him to proceed. He squeezed her ass cheek from underneath her outrageously short black mini-skirt before pulling it down exposing her bare skin to the world. I knew what was about to come next for the pain was intensifying yet I watched them, refusing to cry, refusing to let them see my pain. He continued his assault on her neck, nibbling, tasting, and biting. He looked at me from the corner of his eyes. That was when I saw it, the look in his eyes, it was pure lust and nothing more. I watched as Hailey stroked his hard length to gain back his attention. He finally pulled his trousers down positioning himself in her entrance, I braced myself for the pain that was about to come… 'Alpha- the council members…’ Simon stopped absurdly when he took in the view. ‘I’m so sorry Alpha, I’ll come back at a more appropriate time.’ He bowed his head taking to his heels, but to my greatest surprise, Julian spoke up, ‘No need for that, what do the council members want with me?' I am surprised at the turns out of invent. Hailey was still clearly naked in front of him and struggling to pull up her skirt. Wasn’t he concerned that someone else would see her? Right, I smiled feeling satisfied with myself. Of course, he doesn’t care about her being seen by others after all she was not his mate to begin with. ‘The council members are coming tomorrow for pack inspection’ Simon announced. ‘But they haven’t done that in years and besides why are they starting with our pack?’ Julian asked. ‘Probably because we are one of the strongest and rumors about your…’ Simon paused; the hesitation and fear clear in his eyes. ‘I’m sorry Alpha!’ He fell to his knees confusing me the more. What in the world would scare a Beta to his kneels? ‘Alpha, rumors are going around that… that- you are not the late Alpha’s son. And that the late Alpha had no…’ He paused stealing a quick glance at me. Julian pulled him up by the collar violently, ‘Will you talk or do you want me to do the talking?’ 'They said that the late Alpha had no children and that you are just a…em…please forgive me Alpha but they said that you are just a bastard that is taking advantage of this opportunity to rule the pack.’'They said that the late Alpha had no children and that you are just a…em…please forgive me Alpha but they said that you are just a bastard that is taking advantage of this opportunity to rule the pack.’ How come the council knows about the internal matters of the pack? It was not normal for the council to meddle in pack matters except of course it was affecting other packs which was most likely not possible. Everyone knew that the late Alpha of Silver Moon Pack was dead and it was obvious that rumors had been flying around that there was a new Alpha but this was not enough reason for the council members to check up on us. After all, to the outside world, it would look like the pack was not in disarray which was why a new Alpha emerged so quickly after the late Alpha passed. It was only natural for other packs to see it as the silver moon pack trying to protect their pack and keeping it united so that it wouldn’t fall prey to more rogue attacks in the future. Knowing all of this I
TWO MONTHS LATER It’s been exactly two months since I left my home pack, well my escape plan wasn’t a total success for I almost lost my life but still I managed to leave the pack after several severe injuries. Well, I can say that all my suffering was worth it for I got a lead on my mother’s death. It wasn’t rogues that attacked her on her way to the dark forest pack after all. Several rogues had confirmed that they dared not approach the dark forest pack for they had tight security. A rogue would be shot even before he steps feet near the borders. They also said that rogues rarely went near the south region where the dark forest pack happens to be located, well except for those who had a death wish. This left me with two things, either my mum was murdered by someone from the dark forest pack and then they dropped her at the borders near the river, or she was murdered even before she reached the pack bothers and they managed to dump her beside the pack borders. All the clues I
I went ahead with my business ignoring the annoying Alpha. What's wrong with him anyway? I mean, who on earth growls at their saviour? That's his problem not mine. I wiped the blood off my dagger and then turned around to leave only for several more rogues to appear before us.Seriously! Today was a bad day for me. I cracked my neck and pulled up my sleeve, ‘who’s first?’ I asked. No one needed to tell me that this group of rogues was here to fight, it’s just a simple law of “the jungle” as I like to call it. One of them stepped forward his eyes scanning the length of me, well not in a good way.His lustful gaze made me felt disgusted, Only then did I realize that half my shirt was gone.Mister Alpha seemed to have a problem with the way they were looking at me for he growled, the type of growl I was just too familiar with, that of a predator.The rogue with the dirty blond hair stepped forward his look not so different from the rest of his team. ‘Miss it’s not you we're after but
The sound of someone clearing their throat snapped me out of my thoughts, Mister Alpha was leaning on the door frame in all his glory, his jet black hair disheveled making me want to run my hands in them, and his clothing not matching his masculine traits, though I take back the fact that he was an ugly princess for he looked fucking…‘Are you done checking me out?’ I saw his kissable lips move before the words registered in my brain.'Em… I- how are you feeling?’ I asked instead. He tilted his head to the side studying me, his eyes searching my soul.He took long strides towards me his eye searching mine, stopping a few inches away from me. ‘Tell me.’ He whispered his face inches away from mine that even if I moved one bit the unspeakable eh was going to happen between us.I looked into his eyes questioning him as to why he was invading my personal space but he didn’t say a thing. He took a deep breath before snaking his hands around my waist and pulling me impossibly close to him m
ASHER'S POVMy mate is somewhere around here. I could perceive the fresh scent of vanilla and roses mixed with the refreshing and pure smell of the forest. I had to finish the rogues off so that I could go look for her. I’m very sure that she must be looking for me too for her scent was getting stronger by the minute, she's heading my way and I don't want her to see the mess I created. I have always wondered what my mate would look like and now that I finally found her I couldn’t wait to see her, to finally feel her, to treasure her, to protect her, for she was the most important person to me in the world. I had no family and my mate suddenly appearing meant I finally had someone that I could call family. Just thinking about it made excitement bobble in my stomach. I was already down to five rogues, hold on mate, I’ll come find you. I silently promised myself. Even Liam, my wolf was getting impatient with me. ‘Hurry up you fool, her scent is so strong, she’s not far away.’ He u
I took a deep breath before walking into the party hall. The murmuring and chattering of the entire guest seized their mouth agape with shock written all over their faces at the sight of me.Today, I am wearing a black mermaid strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and a split at the side. The dress was pleated at each side of the hips and adorned with diamonds to create the illusion of larger hips. And of course, heels to match.For my jewelry, I chose a simple diamond necklace and earrings, plus, a clutch where I had hidden the Ruby. Since it was a masquerade party my mask was that of a fierce black wolf.Brian didn't lie about the Ruby helping me out though. Immediately I showed the guards the Ruby, they bowed before me and even showed me the way to the hall thereby saving me the stress of finding it on my own. To my surprise, no questions were asked.I survey my surroundings ignoring the shocked stares I get from everyone. Brian informed me earlier that he was going to wear
I flinched when I felt a hand on my shoulder.'Hey, sweetheart.’ Brian whispers into my ear. , I sighed in relief. That's the voice I've been desperately waiting to hear. I spun around with the most sincere fake smile I could muster plastered on my face.For some reason, I don't want Brian to know about the little incident from earlier. It still freaks me out.‘Where the hell have you been huh? I’ve been looking for you for a long time now. Shit! You made me freak out thinking that someone recognized you and kidnapped you.’ He rumbled. Lines appeared on my forehead. The way he said it made me feel weird. H is been looking for me?But I was in the middle of the room, on the dance floor with the masked man. Everybody's attention was on us. So how come he didn't notice me? Does Brian know something about this? I quickly shake off the feeling. Brian would never sell me out, maybe it's just because of the insecurity I felt earlier.‘Hey, Myla I've been talking to you for a long time.
So, how are you going to help me get into the dark forest pack without being spotted?’ I asked. A big goofy smile graced his lips like he had been waiting for the question for a long time. ‘Well, there is going to be a banquet in two months' time, how about you accompany me as my date? How does that sound?’ He wiggled his brows at me. Two months? I needed to wait another two months before I got another clue about my mother’s death. I shook my head, I can wait a few more months. Two painful months just for a chance at entering the dark forest pack! Two months is not a big deal, right? After all, I've waited for so long already. I nodded, 'I'll wait...' my voice trailed off, ‘Wait! How come you always get invited to all the bouquets being hosted?’ I eyed him suspiciously. One thing I know for sure was that he was not a rogue nor was he an Alpha. If he was a rogue he wouldn’t have such influence and an Alpha would be
