DANTE.
I glared at the three good-for-nothing wolves kneeling before me. I looked at all the people gathered in the hall to witness their punishment for their betrayal of the pack.“What did you say?” I asked with my voice loud and clear, and that brought shivers to their spine.“Alpha, we are sorry. Please have mercy on us.” The first one pleaded and I scoffed. Mercy.That word isn’t in my vocabulary or dictionary, I don’t and will not show mercy. Showing mercy only means that you are weak and not in control, you do everything with strategy and strength, not mercy.“Mercy.” I chuckled and stared at them, one after the other. These wolves committed treason against the pack, putting every wolf in danger by giving secrets out to the other rival packs, not once, not twice, but countless times.I stepped back, watching them closely to see if they were gonna change and come clean to me, but they proved me wrong by opening the borders for those rogues. I stared at them the last time, they were by far my best soldiers, and they decided to bite the hand that fed them.“Lucas, Williams, and Greg, from today henceforth you are banned from the blood moon pack, and you are to evacuate this instant with effect.” I barked out, and their eyes widened in shock, confusion, or anger. I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.“Alpha, please. Another chance, please give us another chance.” Lucas begged. I turned to Fred, my beta, and he nodded. He stepped forward with two other guards as they took hold of their hands, dragging them out of the hall and pack, with their screams and begs to flood the hall.I turned to everyone in the hall. Some were in shock, while others had the ‘they deserved it’ look.“This will serve as a warning to others who intend or have the intention to betray me. I do not show pity or mercy, I deal with anything brutally, and banishing them is too little. I had the mind to hang them alive, but I want this to be a warning to everyone.” I stared at them again before continuing. “I as the Alpha, make sure to keep you guys safe from attacks, but I won’t sit still and let a member of my pack tarnish or jeopardize my plans.” I stepped down from the podium and walked out of the hall in anger.I entered my office and sat on my chair, sighing loudly. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts, and I knew immediately who was on the other side.“Come in, Alessia.” I sat up straight as the door opened, revealing Alessia with a smile.“Hey.” She called, walking in.“Hey,” I answered her and watched as she took a seat.“Are you okay?” I asked, and I sighed.“Am fine.” I lied and with the look, she gave to me showed she didn’t buy my lie.“Tell me the truth, Dante.” She ordered, and I smiled at her serious form. She looks so cute when she is angry.“Okay am not fine, I’m doing everything to secure their future and safety but all they want is power. They are selfish and filled with greed, and I don’t want anyone like that in my pack.” I ranted out, frustrated. I watched as she stood up and moved around the mahogany table to my side. She placed her hand on my shoulder with a smile on her face.“You are doing everything you can for the best interest of this pack, Dante. Don’t let those little wolves who are hungry seekers make you down, you can do anything to protect your family and pack.” She said, and I sighed, before nodding.A knock came on the door and since I’d already perceived who it was, I ushered him in. Fred, my beta, walked in with a grim look.“I made sure they rejected their connection to the pack and also left the borders.” He said and I nodded. That’s good I don’t want anything to bring more trouble to innocent wolves.“Don’t think too much of it, Dante, you know you’re doing your best and if those wolves are so ready to put their mates and families in danger, then I don’t see why not banish them,” Fred said, and I smiled.“Thanks, bud.” I tapped his shoulder and he groaned.Fred hates getting pats or hugs from other people, I wonder if he wasn’t going to hug his mate when he finds one. Fred has been like a brother to me since we were in diapers, we did almost everything together. Fought together, trained together, and I can even remember both of us fighting over a girl in our teenage, right, but it was worth the fun and anytime we think about it, we always laugh at our childishness. Fred was the son of my dad’s beta, Cornell, and he officially became my beta when I claimed the seat of an Alpha.“Don’t do that again, Alpha.” He growled, dusting his shirt like I have an infectious disease. I smiled.“Since you’re okay, I can leave now,” Alessia said, rolling her eyes at us, as she walked out.“Always a work, huh,” Fred asked, and I knew he was talking about Alessia.“Tell me about it.” I sigh, sitting on my seat again.“What are the casualties of those scumbag's alliances,” I asked going back to business. The playful Dante is gone, now am the ever-serious Alpha, Alessia’s words not mine.“We were able to stop the rogues before they could cross the border…” He paused, why do I sense that there is a but coming? I stare at him to continue, and he breathes out loudly before going on.“But we weren’t aware two sneaked in, they killed four of our guards, two females, and a pup.” I banged my hands on the table.“Who were the guards in charge of guarding the pack house?” I asked through gritted teeth. I was angry, so angry that I could pull this building down. Furthermore, I should have killed those fuckers, making them rogues was too small.“Carlson and Troy Alpha.” He replied.“Get them to my office now.” He stood and mind-linked them. “They’re on their way, Alpha.”Two minutes later, a knock came on the door and, as usual, I asked them to come in.“Alpha.” They both greet each other. I stared at the two trembling guards in my front.“Who oversaw guiding the gate of the pack house?” I asked, and they both stared at each other before replying.“I was Alpha,” Troy replies. Good.“Troy, for your negligence and incompetence, you will go the dudgeon and receive fifty strokes of a metal Cain, is that clear,” I ordered“Yes, Alpha.” He bowed, and I waved for them to leave. I turned to Fred.“Is there anything else to say?” He shook his head.“Fred, take two bags of gold and visit each family of the deceased.” He nods before moving out. Those bastards better pray I shouldn’t meet them anywhere because if I do, they wouldn’t see the dawn of another day.ANDREA Everyone was changing but I'm still the only one standing without changing, nothing. I guess the moon Goddess has forsaken me yet again, I look at Sarah in her wolf form and I can feel the tears coming out from my eyes. I stood rooted in one spot not knowing what to do, why am I so unlucky that I couldn’t even get my wolf, one I could communicate with, one that could reassure me that everything would be okay? AAWWWOOOOOHowls filled the hall as both the males and females changed, and then I felt it, even if I didn’t have a wolf I could still smell and feel things, like now for example I could feel some tingling on my skin. I looked around and saw mates meeting each other, and when they met they changed back to their human form. Furthermore, I looked at the podium and saw Nicholas in his huge gray wolf, he sniffed around searching for her, his mate and I stared closely to see who the lucky female would be but imagine my surprise when he walked majestically in his wolf form to m
DANTE. I found myself staring at my pack getting burned down by the witches, wolves getting slated like animals. “Dante, take your sister and get out of here.” Someone yelled, and I turned to see it was my dad. Dad.“Dante go.” My mum yelled at me and I snapped out of my trance. I looked around and saw everything going down, nothing was saved. “Dante, go now.” Dad yelled again, fighting against four wolves at the same time. No, I can’t leave them here, I need to do something. “I can’t leave you dad, tell me what to do.” I ran to him, and he growled using his Alpha voice. “Take your little sister and get out of this pack, right now.” He ordered and I nodded. I went behind the tree Alesia was hiding and brought her out. “Where are we going Dante?, what’s happening?” She hugged me, crying silently on my shoulder. “Shhh, everything will be fine.” I reassured, and even I wasn’t sure of what I was saying.” I turned to look at my parents the last time, but what I saw shocked me. “No
ANDREA. I stirred awake when I heard some muffled noise in the forest, the sound of footsteps running and a growl. I opened my eyes slowly to see what had invaded my space and was shocked when I saw a wolf, a midnight black wolf with red blazing eyes. I stood up with speed and made to run, but someone held me back, I turned to see a naked man with a frown and a look of irritation on his face. “Please don’t kill me.” I begged and tried to free myself from him, but his hold on my gown tightened. “Please.” I muttered with tears already coming out of my eyes. I can’t die like this, not when I haven’t met my mate yet. Please help me mum, dad, wherever you are, please help me. “What are you doing here, rogue?” The man asked with a growl, and I shrink into my shell more. I don’t know what to say, I don’t know whether I’m going to live or not. “I asked a question rogue, what are you doing here?” He snapped, and I was forced to open my sealed mouth. “I..... I ...... I” I couldn’t form a
Chapter seven. DANTE. I ran in speed through the forest, growling and saying cusses to the moon Goddess. How could she play a game with my soul like this, I didn’t ask for another ‘mate’. I don’t want one, not now, not ever. I growled and paused, I changed into my human form, hitting the nearest tree. I yelled as I continued hitting it until a huge dent appeared on it. I sighed, I sat on a huge rock thinking about this new development of my second ‘mate’. I don’t want one, I told you Selene I didn’t want another one, another one that would betray me, my trust and my pack. I will just reject her and kill her, leaving her in my pack isn’t safe. Not only that, but I need to eliminate her to keep me sane and my pack safe. “I know you’ll be here.” I didn’t turn to see whoever it was because I already knew it was Fred. “I told you to stay in the pack, Fred.” I snarled. I stared ahead of the water fall. “I couldn’t stay when I know you need someone to talk to.” He took a seat beside me
ANDREA I was lying on the cold ground of the cell. Lying with dried bones didn’t sit too well for me, but I was tired and needed to rest. My stomach grumbles for the umpteenth time today, and that’s a reminder that my stomach was empty, with the rush of the party last night I couldn’t stomach any food and I thought I would have a chance to taste some food, but who am I kidding. I sighed again and sniffed, I swallowed the tears wanting to come out. I’ve promised myself that I won’t cry, whatever that’s coming my way I’ll accept it, even death. My closed eyes snapped open when I heard the huge door opened, I got up to see who walked in or who they brought in. But imagine my surprise when I saw it was that Fred guy from earlier, I stared at him consciously as he inserts the key and opened the door of my cell. “Come on.” He waved at me to come out. “Where are you taking me?” I asked. I know I just said I’ve accepted death, but I want to avoid dying. I’m too young to die. I took slow s
ANDREA By the time I woke, it was dark. Amy, Emma, and another girl were in the room. I yawned and stretched, I really needed that sleep and I felt refreshed. I haven’t had a good sleep like this since years. “You’re up sleepy head.” Amy said and I blushed. I’m still not used to anyone talking to me, except Sarah. Sarah, I miss her so much. She would be mated by now, and I guess they’ll have their pup soon. “Yeah.” The other girl whose name I haven’t gotten was staring at me. “Andrea, this is Liliana, our other roommate.” Emma introduced, and I smiled at her. “Nice meeting you, Liliana.” She turned her head to the other side without saying anything. Okay, that was weird. A bell rang, and I turned my attention to Emma, who was equally staring at me. “That’s our cue for dinner.” She dragged my hand out of the room, Amy and Liliana followed behind. We got to a huge door, and she opened it and asked me to go in, I stepped in and saw other girls and boys, but mostly girls. There was
ANDREA. I got up before any of the girls, they were sleeping like logs when I took my bath and when I came out, they were still sleeping. I thought they had work to do, I sighed and took a seat on my bed. I wonder how everyone in the pack was doing, especially Sarah. She just got her mate and she will need someone to be with her, someone she can talk to, give all her juicy details about how her night went. But I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for her. Alpha Jason banished me for getting mates to his son, Nicholas. I wonder how he’s doing now, was he still dealing with the heartache and pains of rejecting me or was he searching for a new mate. I sighed again as I stared around the room, I could cope here, do everything they do and make sure not to get into the Alpha’s bad book. I wouldn’t want to be banished for the second time. “Hey, Andrea.” A soft voice called, and I snapped my head to the other side. Nana Gina was standing at the door with her usual friendly and homely smile. When
DANTE’S POV. I thrust deeper into the female wolf I was fucking, God I can’t get her scent from my head. I can’t get her eyes, the way she looked at me from my head. The wolf was whimpering and moaning beneath me, her body writhing in pleasure and I can feel my release building. I growl and nip at her neck, as I come inside her. As soon as I release her, I get up and walk away, needing to get away from her. I entered my bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the cold water pour on me. I scrubbed at my skin, trying to get rid of the her scent, but it was no use. Even after fucking a female, her scent was still on my skin and I felt awful. I can’t shake her from my mind and I know I never will.can’t shake her from my mind and I know I never will. i don’t know why Selene decided to bring me another mate, another betrauma, but I know I won’t be able to keep myself from her. Blaze wants her as much as I do but I don’t want her to make me make the same mistake I did the last time.
