I stared out at the moonlit forest, my heart heavy with a mix of anger and betrayal. I had always been fiercely loyal to my pack, but betrayal had shattered the trust I had in my alpha, Matt. The disagreement had escalated into a full-blown falling out, and now I found myself considering an unthinkable alliance with a rival pack to take him down.I took a deep breath, the crisp night air filling my lungs, as I made my way through the dense undergrowth towards the border that separated my pack's territory from that of our rivals. My mind was filled with doubts, but the fire of my anger pushed me forward. I would confront their alpha and negotiate terms. If they were willing to fight against Matt, I would join them. If not, I would find another way.The sound of snapping twigs and rustling leaves filled the air as I approached the border. I knew I had to be cautious. Rival packs were unpredictable, and my presence alone could be seen as a provocation. I was stepping into unfamiliar terr
Matt's expression twisted into a mix of anger and disbelief as he looked at Emma. "You would betray me too?" he spat, his voice seething with rage.Emma stood her ground, her eyes meeting Matt's unwaveringly. "I'm not betraying you, Matt. I'm standing up for what's right. You've lost your way, and it's time for a change."A murmur rippled through the gathered wolves as they absorbed Emma's words. Doubt and discontent painted the faces of some, while others remained loyal to their alpha. The pack stood divided, tensions reaching their peak.I seized the moment, my voice cutting through the charged atmosphere. "Those of you who believe in a pack united by trust and honor, join us. Together, we can create a better future, free from the tyranny of one leader."The words hung in the air, their weight settling over the pack members. Slowly, wolves began to step forward, their expressions determined. The pack, once a unified force under Matt's command, was now splintered, torn between loyalt
*Ashley's POV*The memories from that day come flooding back to me. I can still see it so clearly, like it had just happened. I can still feel the fear that filled every inch of my body, and the overwhelming sadness that followed.I was only a child at the time, but I can still remember it as if it were yesterday. I remember the sunlight streaming through the windows, the smell of freshly baked pies filling the air, and the laughter of my beloved parents.But then it all changed.The door was suddenly kicked open and three men burst in. Two were humans, but the other was a large, scary looking wolf. I remember the fear that filled the room, and my parents' pleas for mercy. But the wolf ignored them. He moved forward and with a single swipe of his paw he drove it into their hearts.The next thing I remember is screaming. The sound of my own voice filled my ears, and I couldn't make it stop. I felt my legs give way beneath me, and my vision began to blur. I remember my parents' lifeless
*Matt's POV*My day had already been long and hard by the time I got the call. I had been working late at the office, trying to get everything wrapped up before I took a break. But the news I received on the phone had me feeling completely deflated. One of my buildings had caught fire, and no one had any idea how it had started.I felt a mix of emotions as I raced to the office. I was frustrated and upset, but I was also scared of what I might find. I was the one responsible for this building and its contents, so there was a certain level of responsibility that weighed heavily on my shoulders.When I arrived, I could see the fire raging in the distance. I was thankful that no one seemed to be hurt, but I was still concerned about the potential damage that could have been done. I had to find out what had caused the fire, and soon.My employees had gathered around the building, unable to explain what had happened. I asked if anyone had been around when the fire started, but no one seeme
*Ashley's POV*I watched as Aunty Maggie descended the stairs, her face wearing a satisfied smile. I was convinced she would stand up for me, but when she reached me, she turned to Matt and said, “A million dollars is too small. You need to raise it to ten million dollars.”My heart sank. I had been hoping for some support from Aunty Maggie, but it seemed she was just as determined as Matt to get the most money possible. I could feel my eyes welling up with tears, but I managed to keep them back. I wouldn’t give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me cry.“Ten million dollars? Aunty Maggie, even if it is a million dollars, I will not do it. ” I said, my voice shaking with anger. “Do you not remember what you said you would not let me do”“Well, no body has ever offered to sleep with any of my girls for a million dollars,” Aunty Maggie said, her voice firm. “Its a fair price for someone I cherish so much. Come on, you will have fun.”“But you promised me!” I said. “You promised me that I
My hands flew to mouth, but not before a short gasp escaped my lips. The large room, was scarcely lit by the red bulb dangling from the roof. At the first end, a large bed stood, properly dressed with black silky sheets, and at another end, a hammock style sex swing, hung lazily.Opposite the bed, stood a wooden wall, studded with different bondage cuffs, in colors red, black and pink; mouth gag, arm binder, shackles and a rope. Close to the wooden wall, was a table.I move closer to the table to examine its content; I picked up the posture collar, and studied it for a while before putting it down and moved on to the flogger. I examined the black, leather material with tails that ended in a rose shape, with my eyes without touching it.I winced when I picked up the breast clamp, what kind of freaky stuff is this guy into? I replace the breast clamp on the table.“Of course he also has a whip!” I looked at the brown object in distaste.A shiny stainless object caught my attention. I mo
I have never seen a woman angrier than the lady who stood in front of me; her hazel eyes were burning brightly with indignation. Her clenched fist had turned pale before she repeated the question, “Who the fuck is this, Matt?” She raised her voice, and for the first time since she stepped in here, her eyes left me and wandered to Matt’s cool face.Matt took a swig of the wine in his cup and slowly put the cup down. He glanced at me, and when his gaze fell on the orange juice in my cup, he arched his eyebrow questioningly. “Aren’t you old enough to drink alcohol yet?”“You should have thought about that before you decided to buy me,” I snapped.“Buy her? Matt!” she slammed her hands against the table and the cutleries clattered in response.“Hello Cecil,” he muttered in between mouthful. If looks could kill, Matt would have been on his way to meet his maker, because she shot him the deadliest look she could muster. Cecil laughed dryly, shaking her head in frustration. I would be fru
His blue eyes gleamed with amusement when he caught me staring. I look away, my face flushed from embarrassment. Rosa stares at us with disapproval, “She is still a child Matt!”Matt looks away from me and straightened. “Cecil would be staying the night, have someone prepare a room for her.” He returned his gaze to me and I look away. When he left I put, the last piece of the pie into my mouth and stood to my feet. “You should retire to your room and get some rest. You have had a long day, I assume?” Rosa sounded all professional, which was funny coming from an old lady like herself.“Well,” I stretched out my hands, slightly bending over backwards. A yawn escaped my lips as I straightened. It was almost as if I was waiting for someone to remind me to be tired. “Are you sure?” I asked weakly, “I could help with the dishes if you want.” Madam Maggie would have probably brought hell to me in bed, should I be sleeping during the day. “It is alright. Linda would handle it.”I struggl
