The foolish slaves had decided to take their revenge on Mia by splashing dung all over her body. She was seated on the ground crying while they watched her. The sight triggered my wolf who immediately got angry, sending me a rush of adrenaline and strength. Immediately, I lunged on the tallest one of the three slaves and toppled him before he knew what had hit him. I attacked the next guy immediately and fought him longer before sending him hurtling across the room. The other one attacked me before I could get to him so I fell. But I had spent my whole life training to be stronger than most men. I got up almost immediately and resumed fighting. This time the three of them all ganged up against me so I was getting defeated. Thankfully, two of the pack guards came into the room, making us all freeze.“What’s going on here?” one asked.“Look what they did to that innocent girl,” I said, forcing tears out of my eyes. They obliged and made me look weaker than I was. “She didn’t do anythin
The cottage was in the middle of the woods. Walking out of it, we saw a few pack guards playing cards under a small tree in the compound. They didn’t say anything as we walked into the woods. I was about to ask when, as if reading my mind, Kat told me that one of them was her boyfriend. Kat told me more about the pack as she led me deeper into the woods. A part of me wondered whether it was a good idea to trust her, but I decided to ignore that. Kat was the only connection I had to my past and it would do us good if we stuck together.“The inner border is here,” Kat said. If you didn’t believe in the supernatural, you’d think there was nothing special about the boundary. It looked just like the other parts of the forest except I could feel strong energy there. “Come on.”I followed Kat to the side with thick shrubs and some elm trees. “These are herbs,” she pointed to a certain plant. “We’ll pick them so if someone finds us here and asks what we were doing, we’ll say we came for the
“Come with me,” he said.“Are you sure about this?” Kat asked. “These men can be cruel.”I smiled. “Trust me, I know what I’m doing. This man is going to regret whatever he plans to do.”“Stop gossiping,” the man yelled.Kat was still giving me a worried look when I turned to follow the man called Commander Augustine. The forest was quiet and still, the evening breeze blowing fresh air over my face as I trudged on behind the big man. As we got to a thicker section, my heart began to beat faster. The man was extremely huge compared to me. He could flip me over like a pancake with only one hand. As we went deeper, I began to think I had made a very bad decision. I was relying on the mate bond between Alpha Jackson and I to save me. The problem was, would he feel saving me was worth it? Would he even get the signal? First of all, we had not yet mated. To make matters worse, I had rejected him and had lost a small connection to him but not all since he had not yet accepted that rejection
Some time as he carried me, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar room. All it had was a bed and table. The beddings were very clean, soft and smelled nice. I remembered the pill and realised I was feeling better, like my normal self. Even though the curtains were down, I could tell it was morning due to the kind of light coming through. Sitting up, I stretched hard. I spotted a folded piece of paper on the table and leapt out of bed to get it. It was a note that said, “Good morning. The dress is for you. You can take a shower in the bathroom, everything you might need is in there. J.”I rolled my eyes, then glanced at the folded flowered dress on the table. “Really?” I said, shaking my head, a smile etched on my face. Did he really think I was the type of girl who wore white dresses with big bright pink flowers on them? I held the cloth up and chuckled, imagining myself in it. It looked so weird, with colours I’d never be caught wearing. There was ev
Jackson.Red Moon pack had the best grazing grounds in the region. The grounds were close to a lake and that made them ideal for rearing animals. Having it would also make it easier for us to catch the big forest animals that were lured by the water. I had been wanting to have those grounds for a very long time. That was the reason I got extremely angry when I was informed that the men I had sent to captured it failed.“How did this happen?” I yelled at the commanders of the operation. My beta Alexander had led the operation alongside Commander Andres. “We have captured so many places in the same fashion. Red moon pack is very small and does not have the capacity to resist even a quarter of my men. What really happened?”Secret operations had always been the most effective for me. Most of the packs did not have a lot of security forces. Even when they had, they were not always keeping watch which made it easy for us to ambush them. I could not believe the incompetence this time.Midni
Jackson.Unfortunately for Francesca, I was not able to rise again. I could not give her what she wanted so she had to leave. As she walked out, I wondered if she ever felt any shame. Well, that was her problem. I never forced her to do anything. She came to service me willingly, and could stop at any time. Standing up, I zipped up and left the office to go take a shower in my room.Andres and alexander had organised a security meeting that included not only the guards but also a few men and women to represent other members of the pack. Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to go check on them to see if any progress had been made. The meeting was drawing to an end when I got to the conference room. Everybody stood up and bowed as I made my way to the front and sat next to alexander. A young woman was speaking at the time.“Do you want to speak?” Alexander asked me.I shook my head. “No, I just want to know what’s going on.”A number of people spoke after but there was no serious
However much I tried, I couldn’t forget about the kiss with Jackson. It was on my mind all the time. I thought about him when I woke up, and when I was about to sleep and the time in between. It reached a point I wished he could just accept my rejection so we could move on with our lives. Sometimes, I wanted to withdraw my rejection. During those times, I was blind to everything except the things he had made me feel. When I remembered my brother, I felt like grabbing a knife and stabbing Jackson right in the heart. Kat and my new friend Keith were doing a good job at making my life at Midnight Pack bearable. Keith was a slave who had been there for three years. He preferred being a slave at Midnight Pack instead of being free in his own because his pack was one of the poorest in the region. Life was so terrible that being a slave at another pack was welcome. Keith and I had finished out work for the day and were seated on some logs in the backyard chatting about our lives. I had not
Jackson did not say anything to me as he took me to the slave residence. He forced me into a car and drove off to the pack house where I was taken back to the dungeon. That man had tricked me into confessing. I was still going over the conversation, trying to think of a way I could have prevented this from happening. My heart was heavy I wanted to cry but there were no tears. My eyes were dry. I realised I was scared of how Kat would react. She was going to think I had betrayed her.About thirty minutes later, my worst fears came true. Kat Stevenson was led into the dungeon by two guards. Her hair was dishevelled and her clothes were torn in certain places. There was some blood on them as well. The men pushed her into the dungeon and locked the door. “I’m so sorry this happened,” I said, standing up.Kat was glaring at me. She didn’t say anything, but just kept moving towards me like a zombie.“Looks like something interesting is about to happen,” one of the guards said. He grabbed t
