"Did they arrive safely? Did you make sure no one saw them?""Warn those wolves well; anyone who speaks out gets kicked out of my pack and their entire family. Send them to do the heaviest labor as punishment, so they learn who to follow and who not to.""They arrived perfectly, and no one saw anything. It will be done as you command, Alpha," his Beta responded, and Elijah entered the small room where one of his warriors stood guard outside.When Stela woke up, she was lying in a bed.Everything hurt, and she even believed she had some broken ribs because, at some point, she had received kicks from that b*tch.When she remembered the beating Ophelia had given her, just a tiny Omega, all the rage from the humiliation boiled inside her.If she despised that woman before, now she wanted to devour her and bleed her with her own hands.She also felt resentment because she felt supported by the useless wolves of this pack, tempting them with her future position. Yet, they had left her lying
"Did you bring Estela to the pack?" Douglas asked his Beta through their link."She refused to go under any circumstances, even threatened her own life," the Beta replied with frustration."Damn it, she can't grasp the importance of this moment! How can she be so inconsistent?" Taking advantage of the fact that Alpha Elijah was away from his pack, following him, he had ordered that his daughter be brought back to his pack.Estela had stubbornly refused to return, and although he knew she was fighting for her position as Luna, she was an uncertain variable.He didn't trust Elijah. He knew Elijah was flirting with a she-wolf from his company, but he ignored such nonsense; he had been young once, too.He could have his affairs discreetly as long as his daughter was the Luna.From a distance, the great wolf Douglas looked back to see the enormous white wolf of Elijah.Cintra was magnificent and powerful, too powerful for his liking, and he just hoped that Elijah truly meant no surprises
The wolf's scream of agony echoed as it fell to the ground, electrocuted, soon ceasing to move with blood flowing from all orifices.“Damn you, scoundrel!” Elijah glared with hatred inside the energy shield surrounding Douglas and his warriors, reminiscent of those Lucian favored.It seemed he had come prepared with some magical trinkets.“Go do your thing. We can't hold on forever, so I hope you find something worthwhile,” Douglas said privately to his Beta, who nodded, blending into the surrounding wolves and disappearing from enemy sight.“I knew you were nothing but a treacherous rat. What did Lucian promise you for turning into his bitch?” Douglas looked at him scornfully, shifting the focus to him and angering the other Alphas.“Do you think you'll achieve what you want? I won’t fall for your trap; I’d like to see how long your little shield lasts,” Elijah retorted, trying to stay calm though genuinely furious.By now, he thought everything would be more uncomplicated and that
A silent shadow raced through the forest until it reached a mansion hidden in the middle of nowhere, heavily shielded by spells and protections. He had nearly consumed an entire bottle of that woman's blood, so for a limited time, he was like a true shadow.He slipped into Lucian's mansion, unsure where the fabled golden egg he was searching for was. It was likely in a treasure room or something similar.Voices in the kitchen indicated that people were gathered there. Though he was supposed to be hidden, it was best not to take risks, mainly since powerful beings lived in this house.A familiar scent hit his nose, and he headed towards one of the rooms on the second floor.A shadow slipped under the door and snuck into a dark corner of the room.He was astonished to recognize the Omega looking out the window towards the forest.It was the same one who had done Estela the favor of attacking in those caves, where Alpha Elijah nearly caught him.Fortunately, he had taken precautions t
Olivia walked through the kitchen, the knife clutched tightly in her trembling hand.She was still in her white hospital pajamas and barefoot, having dropped her slippers when she jumped, with great effort, over the short fence of her own house.Olivia walked around the dimly lit room.She knew the exact location of every piece of furniture, every lamp, every ornament.This had been her home for nearly eight years, the home she had shared in a marriage she believed to be true and real, but which was as false as all the feelings "her dear husband" had professed for her.The same man who was now upstairs, probably with another woman.Olivia knew it, her sixth sense told her, just as she knew the day her older sister would die.She cried and kicked to keep her from celebrating with her friends, but since she was only an eleven year old girl, no one paid any attention to her.At midnight, her parents were notified that their teenage daughter had been stabbed and raped in a dark alley in t
Olivia had been in this beautiful place for days.As much as her depression tried to drown her, the beauty of everything her eyes saw forced her out of her self-pity.She felt at home, even though she was living in one of the rooms of the inn in this rustic village lost in the woods and mountains. After a journey of days, they arrived here, a picturesque village with houses made of stone and wood, but although they looked rustic on the outside, they had all the comforts of modern life on the inside.It was not a poor or backward place at all, it had a lot of development, it just seemed that its inhabitants liked to be away from the world and curious strangers.She had been here for more than a week, and although Noah tried everything to get her to stay at John's house, she refused, insisting on staying at the inn.She felt that she had already upset her friend too much, that her madness had even put her in danger of being arrested as an accomplice.Dressed in blue jeans with a thermal
- I... I'm so sorry... a Land Rover crossed my path and I couldn't avoid it - she apologized with a flushed and embarrassed face as she showed the innkeeper the masterpiece left over from the accident.- A gray Land Rover? - William asked her suddenly and Olivia nodded silently, thinking it was the last question she expected to hear.- It's all right, accidents happen, don't worry, a few hammer blows to the old thing and it'll be as good as new - he said without giving the matter much thought.- Paul, come and help bring the crates down! He called to the kitchen boy.- Here's your pay - he said to Olivia, handing her some bills that were actually much more than she expected. It seemed she was in such a precarious situation that everyone was giving her money today- No, no, that's not necessary, in fact that man gave me this money as compensation and I want you to deduct the repair of the car, I don't know how much it will be- she confessed the truth and handed him the wad of bills th
Lugh knew at the exact moment that his mate wanted to run away from him, he knew that his wolf form was very intimidating and aggressive, but he wanted her to know that he could never ever hurt her, that they would die for her."Stop, you're scaring her," Lucian warned, for he could already feel the woman's pulse racing with fear and her pupils dilating in horror.It was no less than that, a wolf appeared out of the darkness, a wolf that reached up to her waist and desperately wanted to eat her, although not in the way she was thinking at the moment.Sure, Olivia was terrified, but it was her fault for being stupid, nature was very beautiful, but also wild. She was just a skinny weakling and didn't think it was possible to run back to the inn unharmed. Nevertheless, she had no choice. She turned and started to flee from the pursuing predator, leaving the blanket behind.Of course, she didn't get very far.She felt the huge wolf begin to chase her, as if it were playing with its dinn
