Laura's POVI ended the call with Annabelle feeling scared that something might be wrong with Annabelle, but since she said she'd be here. I kept the hope aliveBut as I began to focus my energy, the door of the house suddenly banged open. I heard multiple footsteps enter the house, their voices echoing off the walls. Panic bubbled up inside me and my heart began racing. Who could it be?I tried to push the anxiety down and focus, but something was off. It's like my body had completely forgotten how to shift. Panic turned to desperation as I tried and tried again, but nothing worked. I was stuck in my human form as whoever had entered the house came closer and closer to me.My mind went into overdrive as I tried to think of a plan. Should I confront these strangers as a human? Or try to hide until I could shift again? Before I could make a decision, the strangers appeared in front of me.I was face-to-face with a group of werwolves who had broken into our house. I froze, not knowing
Alexander's POVI couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes. We been annihilated by the same rogue werewolf pack that are usually scared of us. We used to be a known ready pack, but nothing could have prepared us for what happened. Annabelle was trying to get to us and she had something to tell us before a werewolf out of nowhere came and lunged at her. I saw his claws sinking into her skin, and my heart sunk. I knew we were in trouble.Laura had froze up for a while and even cried when she went over to where Annabelle was. While she was there, all that came to my mind was when my pack will arrive and probably have a chance to fight back since it was just the rogue wolves.Then, all of a sudden, I heard Laura's voice screaming in the distance, and at first, I thought she was scared. But then, I saw her coming towards us at full speed, her eyes glowing with a fierce determination. The white wolf unleashed, I was lost in admiration as I saw her. We had been training Laura, but
Dominique's POVI stood on the porch of Alexander's house, the sunlight reflecting off my dark fur as I surveyed the aftermath of the battle. The scent of blood and smoke filled the air, a sickening mixture that left a bitter taste in my mouth.Behind me, my pack members were busy scavenging the area, claiming whatever resources they could find. It was a good haul - Alexander's pack had been strong for a while, but they were no match for us this time. With the pack dead, it was easy to take over their territory.I licked my lips, savoring the taste of victory. It had been a long time coming - Alexander and his pack had been king since the days of his father till his father hang over to him. for months. But now, he was gone, and everything he had was mine.“Dominique,” I heard someone call out. I turned to see my second-in-command, Ryan, approaching me. “We've searched the area and even deep into the woods, but we can't find Alexander or Laura.”My ears perked up at the mention of Laur
Clara's POVI didn't know what to do when Dominique asked me to run away before the fight. I mean, I knew I had betrayed my pack by sharing our secrets with him and his rogue werewolves, but I wasn't comfortable backing out from the fight when I was mainly the brain behind it. It showed me more reason why I have to be an alpha of my own and detach myself from all these male superiority. I decided to hide instead, to see how things would turn out.From the shadows, I watched as my former pack engaged in battle with Dominique and his rogue werewolves. It was brutal and bloody, but I was surprised at how well my pack was holding up. They may have been outnumbered, but they were fierce and determined.Dominique, on the other hand, was wild and unhinged. He attacked with reckless abandon, not caring who he hurt or killed in the process. I felt a pang of regret for ever trusting him, but I knew it was only a matter of time before I take him out and run things my way.As the fight progressed
Alexander's POVI sat opposite Laura, watching her as she stared off into space, lost in her own thoughts. I had hoped that our journey back to the hideout would have given her time to process the events that had just transpired, but from the looks of it, she was still in shock.I sighed and leaned forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Laura, come back to me. I know it's hard, but I need you to be here with me, please babe." I said softly.Laura turned her head slightly to look at me, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I can't believe she's gone. I can't believe it's all over," she whispered hoarsely."I know, love. I know," I said, my heart aching for her. "But you have to remember that Annabelle died a hero. She gave her life trying to save you, and she almost saved us in the process."Laura shook her head, disbelief and grief etched on her face. "I know, but it still doesn't make it any easier, how will I even tell my parent?" she whispered.I scooted closer to her and wrapp
Alexander's POVTogether, we set off into the night, apart from Laura, she wasn't herself, so I couldn't let her come. I just left her in the hideout with another girl in the pack to keep her company. As we go our wolf senses on high alert. We had to find Chris before it was too late.As we ran through the woods, I could hear the sound of snarling and growling in the distance. It was clear that we were getting closer, and fast. We picked up our pace, each of us taking the lead as we pushed through the brush and over fallen logs.I could hear Chris's voice on the phone, weak and fading. It was a race against time, against our enemies, because if they found him before us, they'd make sure they don't make any mistakes again, and a race against fate itself."Chris!" I yelled into the phone, my voice echoing through the woods. "We're coming for you! Hang on, buddy. Hang on!"Then the call went dead, leaving a silence that swept over me like a cold wave. My heart threatened to stop beating,
Dominique's POVI couldn't believe what had just happened. Clara had turned down my proposal to be my mate, not really turned down, but it seemed so to me. I had never been so angry in my life, not even when I got turned down by Laura. I had put myself out there, opened up my heart, and she had just brushed it off like it was nothing, telling me she'd think about it.I looked at her sitting across from me and tried to hold back my anger that night, my imagination got a hold of me. "So, what do you say?" I asked, trying to keep my voice even."I'd think about it," she replied, and that's when my anger boiled over."I didn't ask you to think about it. I asked you to be my mate," I said, my voice rising. "Do you not understand what that means?"Clara stared at me, her eyes wide with surprise. "Of course I do. It's a big decision.""Then why can't you make it? What's so difficult about it?" I demanded.Clara looked down at her hands, fiddling with her fingers for a moment before looking b
Clara's POVI walked to and fro in my room, wringing my hands together nervously. Dominique had just proposed to me to become his Mate, and now I was in a dilemma. On one hand, accepting his proposal would mean giving up my dreams of becoming an alpha, but on the other hand, it could secure my position in the pack and give me more power.As I paced back and forth, I couldn't help but think of Betty, one of the rogue werewolves that was saved in the old factory where we thought Laura and Alexander were. I had gotten a bit close to her since she arrived, she had suggested I accept Dominique's proposal. She was as ambitious and hungry for power as I was, and I couldn't help but wonder if she had her own agenda in pushing me towards accepting.I shook my head and tried to push her thoughts out of my head. I needed to think about my own future and what was best for me. But it wasn't an easy decision to make. Being an alpha meant everything to me. It was my dream, my goal since Alexander wo
