“He is also my lover.”Ellie felt the world stop at those words- the confirmation of her suspicions- as a wave of emotions rushed through her, mainly hurt and disgust. While she did not know why she felt hurt by those words, she knew she was disgusted. Not that she was seeing a real same-gender couple, but more that one half of that couple thought she would be okay in baring his child while he was in that sort of relationship! What in the world was he taking her for?!“If you already have a lover… why bring me here? Calling me your mate?” she unknowingly asked.While Jen seemed a bit surprised by the questions, William bluntly answered, “I believe I already told you why. Unless if your hearing is even worse than an Omega’s. I need an heir slash heiress. A next-in-line for the Alpha position with my blood. Someone I can trust to lead the future generation of the pack. As much as I love Jen, sadly, we are both men. We cannot have a pup.”“The harsh truth of reality…” the Beta sighed in
The next day, training was far worse than Ellie had imagined. She did not know if it was because she grew weak, because she was recovering, or if the training was naturally this harsh in this pack, but training with Jen had to be the hardest thing she had ever done. Ever since the early morning, the pair had undergone a number of sessions. With each trial performed, whenever Ellie showed even a bit of exhaustion, or lost a bit of momentum, Jen practically whipped her back to shape, paying no heed to any injuries that were still healing. Ellie couldn’t even catch a break in between all this training, and she was way past her limit.It did not help that they started their training so early in the morning, with a light meal for Ellie. Thus, she did not have much stamina to go through the regime. To make things worse, just when they thought she was done with training for the day, as it would turn out, all she had done were supposedly ‘simple warmups’, in preparation for some sparring sess
With each word that came out of Ellie’s mouth, Jen felt more annoyed by the female before them. Before he could even do anything, though, William- already anticipating his boyfriend may say something to retort- brought a hand up to stop him, causing the Beta to reluctantly stand down again.“Very well then. A deal is only done from two ends, after all. I may have offered food and shelter and medical assistance, but I suppose those are more considered as necessities any werewolf should have. Especially for one who is to carry my child,” he reasoned. “Alright, since you wish to be treated as a member of this pack, I will do just that.” To Jen, he then said, “Jen, after we have some time together, is there any chance you can gather up all the werewolves tonight?”“Yes, Alpha. As you wish,” Jen accepted, already having an idea as to what the gathering will be for. Despite wanting to protest against it, since it was his Alpha’s wish, even as his boyfriend, he had no right to change his dec
It was night time. Upon William’s request, Jen had rounded all the members of the Devorare Pack at the square, where the two were waiting for them all. Amongst the many werewolves, Ellie was also called to this gathering. ‘Why am I also summoned here…?’ she wondered, for she was practically forced to attend this meeting by Jen when he went to gather the werewolves a little earlier. Going by the conversation she had with William, she had a feeling this meeting was to announce equal treatment towards her, that she would be staying in the pack for a while, but did she really need to be here as well? In fact, did he have to call all of his pack for this? Surely these guys can catch on based on how he and Jen act towards her, can’t they? And besides that, it was practically common knowledge to treat your guests with respect. Something Samantha was shown to be capable of. Wouldn’t the others also be capable of such? “I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’ve called for this gathering,” Willi
In the middle of the night, it was silent in the Devorare Pack. Majority of the werewolves were fast asleep, while the rest were doing patrols around the area. One certain werewolf, though, was doing neither.Ellie carefully snuck around the pack, hiding from one shadow to another to avoid being seen by William or any of his patrols. After what happened earlier, the female werewolf felt as though some part of her finally opened her eyes. Truly… what was she thinking? Agreeing to carry a successor in order to go through training to be the strong werewolf she once was. To become a puppet she did not want to be again? Regardless of the reason, she should’ve known better than to agree to that part in the first place. Even more so… when the reason for her lost strength was because her wolf was taken away from her…Before Ellie went through with that Wolf Swap Rite, she had seen the sort of training Maddie had to go through to get stronger. Yet, no matter how much training she had done, it
“I see… So that happened,” William spoke.The Alpha was in his office with Jen, getting some paperwork done, amongst other things, when two of his patrols came in, reporting the apprehension of one Ellie.“Our deepest apologies if we have gone too far in our… treatment towards her. However, since you told us earlier to treat her as we would to one of our own, we thought it was appropriate regardless of her connection to you,” Patrol 1 explained.“You’ve nothing to apologize for. As you said, I was the one who told you to treat her as you would to any other member in this pack. Besides that, it was her own request to be seen as an equal while being in this pack. And yet, she dares to attempt sneak out of the pack? Even though she knows what we do to traitors,” William sighed.“Where is the girl now?” Jen asked then.“After we roughed her up a bit, we had her tied up, and tossed her in the dungeon,” Patrol 2 answered. “If I may dare have a say, though… With all due respect, Alpha, is th
It was cold in the cell Ellie was lying in, the werewolf covered in bruises. She didn’t know if the cold was because of the natural temperature in the room or if it was because of the pain she was currently in, thanks to the two werewolves who assaulted her earlier. Sure, she may probably deserve it, trying to run away like she did. It was no doubt that made her seem quite suspicious to them, if her being here hadn’t already. But even so… She didn’t think she would be treated this cruelly, even if this was the notorious Devorare Pack.No… She should’ve expected it, if anything. She knew the pack she was dealing with, the Alpha she made a deal with. And yet… What in the world made her think she would be able to sneak out of here unscathed? What made her think, after William made the pack see her as an equal, that she would be able to do this one act without consequence? Especially after witnessing firsthand what they do to traitors of their own pack? Honestly… What was she thinking…?‘
Ellie and Jengo were both shocked with what they discovered. How could they not? Not only did Jengo meet a mate- the mate- he was fated to be with… Ellie found herself with another mate?! No… Not really ‘another’; since her wolf got swapped, it was more accurate to say that she met Maddie’s real fated mate. And she knew for sure that it was going to cause some complications in explaining to Jengo the truth.“J-Jengo… I-”“IT’S A LIE!” the Beta shouted, much to the female werewolf’s surprise. “You?! You’re my mate?! That is not possible!”“I-I understand if you’re having a hard time believing this, but if you can give me the chance to explain…”“No need to. It’s as William said, isn’t it?”Ellie was confused when he said that part. What William said? What did he say to his Beta?“The night you came to our pack? He told me that you must have used something strange to trick his wolf into thinking you two are mates. Neither of us could figure out what that was, but after experiencing it f
