Warning: The chapter contains violenceOlivia My captors were merciless beasts, and there was only one way to survive. Cooperate with them, search for an opportunity and make a run.I was doing exactly that! Besides using my body, sometimes they used me as a serving maid. I bid my time. Watched and carefully observed my captor's routines and activities. Last week, they were agitated for some reason. A bunch of them passed by my cell, talking quietly about a raid they were planning.We were barely fed, perhaps, deliberately. Probably to control us, or my captors were simply sadists, who enjoyed starving us to death. Despite little food, I noticed that my strength had increased, my eyesight had improved immensely as well. I could see clearly in a dark cell, and my hearing was so sensitive that I could hear all the conversation. Not that my captors ever tried to maintain secrecy. They were confident of the fact that we could never leave.Maybe it was because of the abominable experimenta
AliceI tumbled once again as Lucian hurled me onto the mat. We had been working out and training as per the daily routine. It was early, still, the gym was full of the pups who usually loitered and worked out on the other side of the mat. They had kept away their weights, equipment and were staring at us.Damon, Katherine, Dominik, Rain and others were standing to the side. Katherine had a frown creasing her brows. Damon's arms crossed over his big chest, as he watched us roll and tear at each other. For we weren't training anymore, this was a real fight. We did not exchange a single word since our debate the previous night, instead, we had just exchanged several glares.I attacked Lucian with a series of punches and kicks. He caught my waist and threw me on the mat again. I fell flat, cringing from the impact. It nearly broke my ribs."Tired mate?" Lucian mocked from above me. His emerald eyes brimmed with annoyance and a touch of anger."In your dreams, I am just getting warmed up,"
Alice Lucian had a thing for large bathrooms. Hence, our bathroom was huge with pedestal sinks and fancy looking faucets on one side. A bidet, a toilet and an enclosed shower stood on the other corner. In the centre stood a sizeable luxury whirlpool tub, with white marble floors that gleamed dully in the dim light. The tiled walls were pure white and edged with accents of blue. A low mahogany bench held white fluffy looking towels across the room, while potted plants were placed strategically to further enhance the spa-like atmosphere. However, what surprised me though was the rows of candles lighted around the room, scattering of rose petals in the tub, and scented oil in the water? I was so shocked, I didn't notice Lucian standing near the tub with a satisfied smile. "What is all this?" I asked, taking in the ambience. "This is your bath, my dear," Lucian grinned at me. "A shower would have been fine, but....this is not too bad." I walked around the tub, surveying his handiw
LucianThe Alphas of the 30 packs sat around the long table, flanked by their enforcers who stood by the walls. The conference room was brimming with testosterone.Tension resounded inside the room, as everyone digested what the aftermath of the horrendous crime would do to the fragile peace among the werewolf communities. Not to mention the risk of getting discovered.One thing was apparent to everyone in the room, though; It was crucial they find the were or weres responsible, or the relative peace they had for the past 15 years would start breaking down.Every eye zoomed in on me. Since I was the one who called the meeting, they wanted to hear me answer questions that most of them thought of but hesitated to ask. I had just narrated the discovery of anonymous bodies near the pack lands. "It's quite bold them to dump the bodies on my land," I nodded towards Rick, "and Rick's pack territory. It sends a clear message to us.""I arrived at the same conclusion, my friend." Rick agreed.
Alice"Eliza! Run back with the girls." I screamed at Eliza."But Madam...." "Don't argue, we can't let them have our girls, Eliza and Peter. Run back with the girls. Roger and I will stop these brutes until the warriors arrive."It was a survival skill training day for the newly shifted girls of the pack's high school. I had accompanied Eliza, along with beta Roger and another warrior wolf, to this wilderness, near the edge of the campus. The 10 juvenile girls were pretty excited about the training. They had shifted and ran around in circles, getting familiar with their new wolves.It was a lovely day and everything was going on fine, we were already on our way back when suddenly we were surrounded by the wolves. My priority was to safeguard the girls. They were very young and untrained. Hence, I commanded Eliza and the warrior wolf to run back while Roger and I kept the attackers at bay.Roger and I faced off with four attackers each, biting and whirling in a series of motions desig
Alice -"Zaiden? He is Zaiden ?" I asked, staring at the unconscious boy."What was he doing in our area? He is not supposed to be here." Lucian was eyeing him suspiciously."I don't know, we can investigate once Zaiden is awake. If he hadn't been there, I might not have survived." I insisted.Lucian looked at me pointedly, I knew he wasn't convinced. "Maybe he was with them, and it's all part of the conspiracy. Save your life, gain our trust, infiltrate the pack and.....then God knows what he wants to achieve." Lucian muttered.That was very much possible. But the way he defended me, my heart refused to believe that as a ruse. However, I couldn't afford to be an emotional fool. That would put the pack's safety at risk."You might be right, but he is injured. We can't throw him out over a hunch!""We can't let him stay and endanger our pack, either." Lucian retorted."I reckon he can't do much if he is under surveillance frequently? Besides, he is injured. We might get some informatio
Lucian -Daniel and I stood facing the one-way mirror. His Betas had been constantly interrogating those rogue wolves since they regained consciousness. Daniel's pack was one of those lucky ones who had captured a few of these rogues alive. I had arrived at the Reds as soon as I got the news. I was curious to get a good look at them. The betas took turns beating them up again and again, but they remained tight-lipped, stubborn, and grinned mockingly at them. Daniel had become so frustrated by their constant defiance, that he finally ordered them to be chained. The rogues were dangling from the ceiling in solid silver manacles. The silver burned their skin and drained their strength, keeping their bodies from healing and regenerating. Splotches of bruises marred their skins, blood oozed freely from cuts and gashes they sustained from their beatings. They deserved worse, but he wanted to avoid killing them yet. We had to keep them alive to get information about their leader.Just think
AliceThe security team stood casually along the walls of the conference room. They were ready to strike and restrain Zaiden if Lucian commanded it. The atmosphere was tense for several moments as everyone arranged themselves.I sat beside Lucian at the head of the room and faced Zaiden. He was sitting in a chair, he seemed relaxed and non-resistant. 'You and me... We need to talk after this!' I said in Lucian's mind. I wasn't liking this at all. 'Sure.' That's all, was his curt reply."Ok, let's get over with it!" Lucian took the chair opposite Zaiden. "What were you doing near this pack?" he asked.Zaiden paused for a moment and the guard started to close in. He spoke before anyone could move on him, though. "I wanted to meet, and talk to you. You were not responding to my letters or messages, so I decided to meet you in person. I was walking through the woods when I came upon the attack on Madam Luna. I jumped in to protect her. That's all." "I don't believe you. It looks too g
