Miles' POVAngerThat was the only thing I could feel right now.My wolf was not talking to me; he was blaming me for our mate's disappearance. I had tried countless times to make him understand, all to no avail, and I keep having dreams of my mate in danger and being killed.I knew this was my wolf trying to pass a message to me, but I was too confused to think straight right now.My mate's disappearance was affecting me in many ways. The mate bond was slowly weighing me down, causing me to act violently at times. At this moment, I had no control over my emotions, and it was affecting my overall well-being.Anger surged through me as I considered my next course of action. Everything seemed so challenging. Searching through all the werewolf packs in the country and even some of the human packs revealed nothing, it was as if Angel had vanished from the face of the earth without a single trace.The bottle of liquor by my bedside had long been emptied, and with each sip, the sensation of
Miles' POVDarkness surrounded me. I could hear my mate's heavy breathing, but I couldn't see her face. The room was becoming smaller by the second, and with each step I took, my breath hitched in my throat as breathing became difficult. "Angel!" I yelled, but silence answered me. My body inched terribly as sweat covered my forehead and dripped onto my chest. "Angel, where are you!" I cried as I maneuvered my way through the darkness, but the sound of my shoes echoed, creating a very eerie feeling that made chills run down my spine.Where in the world is this place? Who had taken my mate away from me? Thoughts raced while searching through every corner, eyes glowing in the dark with wolf powers.The door shuffled and creaked open, followed by footsteps that prompted an automatic turn in fear. A sword was pointed at the me yet the presence of this stranger brought a familiar peace that defied description. An attempt was made to glance at the one whose intense glare bored holes,
Chapter 79Dane's POV"Dane, are you sure that's a good idea?" The question from my Beta Miles echoed next to me, and a turn was made to him hoping he had not gone mad to ask me that kind of question when he knew this was a life-and-death situation."What kind of question is that, Miles? We are talking about your mate and unborn pup here, and you're asking me if that's a good idea. Are you serious right now?" I asked in irritation."No... no, that's not what I mean. It's my earnest desire to find my mate, but I'd be selfish to ignore other things. We don't have much; you're broke, I am broke, and the pack is broke. How do you intend to fulfill your promises? There is no money anywhere, Dane. The pack is dry; you know these things. I shouldn't be the one reminding you of these things," he said as he pulled at his beard.In as much as I appreciated his concern, I felt he was deviating from the point of focus and meddling in affairs that shouldn't be his business."Yes, you're right. I
Chapter 79Dane's POV"I'll handle it," I heard myself say, and Miles turned to me in surprise. Even I was surprised at myself, but I couldn't just succumb to defeat like that. It would make me less of myself. It would make my subjects look down on me when they're supposed to respect me and treat me with high esteem. Miles was a loyal Beta and the shared paths has blossomed into a bond akin to brotherhood, but I still had my reservations in discussing personal stuff with him."How do you intend to do that, Alpha Dane? Need I tell you that we owe not less than fifteen billion naira? Please, how do you intend to pay that back? Over the years, we managed to settle some, but it's not gotten anywhere. We are still deep in shit!" He said as he flung his hands out in desperation. I just wanted to bang his head on the wall, but the two things saving him were that he was grieving and heavily drunk. "How I handle things around here shouldn't be your concern at the moment. You have your job
Chapter 81Angels POV A hard slap across my face woke me into reality and I opened my eyes which were stinging with tears to see the bald-headed man scowling at me. I gritted my teeth in anger, but I couldn't fight back because I knew that whatever punishment that followed this, would definitely be worse, and I actually can't deal with more abuses right now when I haven't healed from everything.“Stand up now.” He yelled, and I managed to get up, supporting my abdomen with my hand. It had been hurting terribly since the previous day and I really hoped that I wouldn't lose my pup after all of this because it'd really scar me for life and I don't think I would ever move past it.“The big boss is around, so you've to be of good behavior, or you'll have your head flying from your neck in seconds.” He yelled as his eyes glimmered with an unusual kind of wickedness I've ever seen in my entire life.I am not trying to brag, but this man was way worse than the devil. He uses every opportun
Shanna's POVI watched as Angel struggled with words. I really do not understand this woman. One minute, she was as bold as a lion and another minute, she was as scared as a cat. Her dual personality never ceased to amaze me, but the clock was ticking, I had no time to argue with her. I needed to take advantage of my time now that I still had the opportunity to count my teeth with my tongue.Whatever she was doing now was on purpose. She just wanted to frustrate me further, now that she knew I was the reason being her kidnap.Well, I knew it was a risky move, but I had run out of options and I really needed answers.“Answer me now.” I yelled that my veins protrude from my neck. I hated being kept in silence and her attitude right now was provoking and the only thing I had in mind now was to teach her a very terrible lesson.“It was my brother.” She answered, matching my energy as tears streamed down her eyes. I froze for a minute as I watched her, running my hands through my hair as
Angels POV I cannot believe I was going to die, I should have known that Shanna had no conscience or human sympathy.She's obviously going to continue her life after this, leaving Miles in so much pain. It's such a pity that I couldn't even see my mate before I leave this world forever, but I did something, so my death would be avenged.A message was sent through my wolf to Miles.Presently, she was connecting with Miles' wolf. It didn't matter what happened afterward but I wanted Miles to know that I was right and Shanna was wrong. She manipulated him to the extent that we lost our love and pup.“What do you have to say before you join your brother?” She asked, still pointing the gun to my head. This is all a ploy, to get me to say more words so she'd know my thoughts, but I won't give her that chance anymore, it wasn't worth it so, I remained mute. I had no words anyway. The only thing I could think of were the happy moments with my mate and the way I tortured myself for weeks an
Angel's POVMy limbs feel heavy and my mouth dry as I struggle to open my eyes. I blinked my eyes but the light from the windows made me shut them back. I could hear voices, unfamiliar voices and the air smelt different too.Where exactly is this place?Opening my eyes, the room flooded with shining lights, my gaze wandered around. The room was expansive, the walls white, and the smell of antiseptic hung in the air. Glancing down at my arm, the sight of the bandage struck me, and the realization dawned - I was lying in a hospital bed, an IV line attached to my body.I felt nothing, my mind was like a blank slate as I strained to piece together the memories that led to this moment. Closing my eyes brought no clarity, only the fuzziness of forgotten events.Then, I remember Shanna, and then the memories came flooding and I was whimpering in seconds as I remembered how the bullet penetrated into me. A sharp pain throbbed through my head, as if I had collided my head forcefully against a
