Chapter 13 In the past. Ben always felt uncomfortable when he went home. Penelope was always annoying, just like a flea. Although she couldn’t cause him any substantial harm, he hated her as he couldn’t stop her. But today, remembering Penelope’s pale face after she was rebuked by Susan, he inexplicably wanted to laugh and […]
Chapter 85 Ending Colt’s lips slide down my back leaving flutters of warm kisses. His hands caress my shivering skin, one up my hips and the other down my thighs. His hard member slides in and out slowly inside of me. He has been gentle the last couple of months. I bend down further, resting my face on the edge of the mattress while I keep my legs grounded on the floor as Colt makes love to me. It is the most comfortable position for the size I am now. Only one more month to go for me to pop. I do miss our wild raw s*x but it is too tiring for me right now and too hard. Colt straightens up and puts a hand on my back as he speeds up just a little. “There. Just like that.” I whisper. I have been horny like crazy and he indulges me every time. Many times he doesn’t even finish, just does it for “You like that?” “Yeah. Don’t stop!” “I won’t.” He does as I say and continues at the same speed and rhythm until my body finally feels relief. “Mh…feeling better?” He lets me go then turns and lies down on the bed. “Yeah. Much better.” He lies down with a smile and hugs me. “Cranky woman.” I laugh and then groan. “I don’t want to be Alpha today.” “Then don’t. Take a day off. I’ll handle it.” “Thank you. I’ll just stay in all day and watch TV.” “No, you won’t.” I giggle. He knows me so well. It’s been a few months now since Warrick officially made me and Colt Alpha’s of the pack. Colt and I work together just great. Hardly we ever disagree. We are in tune and want the same for the pack. He is my best friend and I could not imagine being anyone else. It is like we were really made for each other which is weird cause we were not fated mates but it feels like we were meant to be. I love this
Chapter 84 “Colt! What…what did you do?” “He is just going to sleep for a while.” Honora says. “What are you doing? Why?” “Darling, you like to chase trouble and I need you to be safe.” She points at my stomach. “At least until that baby comes.” Colt falls to the ground but he is not completely asleep just yet. “You can’t seem to keep yourself out of trouble and this big lump of a man can’t keep you safe either, so it is up to me.” “Are you…crazy?” “No, just looking out for my baby.” “Y–your baby?” She smiles. “Yes. The payment I am entitled to.” “What payment!?” “The one your mother owed me! You! You were supposed to be my payment! She told me she’d give me anything I wanted if I saved you so I agreed. When I came for you, and she realized the price she was paying…when she realized her mistake, she fled! She fled and burned my mark from you! I couldn’t find you! Clever little wolf!” My lips quiver and my eyes water. “You…she left because of you…” All this time we thought it was because of Father, even Warrick thought it was because of him. “No, she left because of you. To hide you from me.” She says. “The moment I laid eyes on you, I could sense the power inside of you. I wanted that power but you were unstable and dying. So I helped get that power stable and I would take what was promised to me in the midst of a ring of fire solar eclipse. I would render your body lifeless and absorb your powers before the power matured. I was denied this, your mother conned me and now her deb is yours to pay.” “This is why you have been staying close. This is why you cared so much?” She smiles. “I would have let you rot in those pits if I had not sensed you with child. You see you are useless to me as an adult. I need and innocent soul or the spell to work.” She looks down at Colt who struggles to resist the effects of the powder. “Hmh…the ogre is too big. He probably needs more sleeping powder.”
Chapter 83 “Well, Cass…you are a smart one aren’t ya?” Oliver says. He looks me up and down. I am n*ked and have nothing to cover myself with so I pay it no mind. Maybe having him distracted will help a bit. “So? Tell me. Why have you done all of this? Was it you from the start?” I ask. “Of course not.” He strides towards me and stands just a few feet away from me. “My scheme started when you rejected me.” I don’t believe him and I am sure my expression shows it. “I came here to establish a pack.” He says. “And you did that.” “My ambitions do not stop there. It takes more than just placing a pack somewhere vacant to be well established. We would have been a target for other packs that didn’t think we belonged here or even your own pack. But you wouldn’t know all of this. You are new to your position and still learning.” I narrow my eyes at him. “I am not trying to insult you.” He says. “Anyway, your pack is the most powerful one on this continent, so naturally, I wanted it. “You wanted it? Just like that?” “Yes. And the easiest way to get it would have been to have you as my mate. That would have been the perfect outcome. We could have been so powerful together. We belonged together. But you had to go and ruin it. Make it harder for me.” “So you just wanted to gain an instant powerful pack.” “Actually, I share your father’s ambition. To rule them all. All other packs to fall at my feet. That is my goal.” “Well, my father was always crazy so that means that so are you.” “Call me what you wish. It is my right.” “Your…right?” I laugh. “You do sound just like him. And tell me, why are you so worthy of ruling all other packs? How is it your right?” He smiles. “You still haven’t figured it out?” He asks. “Figured what out?” He laughs. “Nothing.” “Stop playing games! I am tired of your shit!” “But it’s so much fun to see you so frustrated.” “Fun? FUN! You almost killed my mate!” “Damn, almost…” “I think it is time for you to die now.” I tell him. I look deep into his
Chapter 82 “C–Colt…Colt!” I look for him but I don’t see him among the people that get up. “Colt!” “Over here!” Victor shouts. I see him kneeling over Colt who lies on the floor motionless. I run, sliding my knees on the ground as I get to him, ignoring the pain of scraping them. “Colt!” I shout but he does not move. He has burn marks on the right side of the body. “Colt! Wake up!” I put my ear to his chest and immediately start to panic. “Victor there is no pulse!” I scream. He pushes me away and puts his head on Colt’s chest. I feel dread rising from the pit of my stomach. “There is a pulse but it is faint…it’s…it’s slowing down.” “WHAT?! NO!” I grab Colt by his shirt and shake him. “WAKE UP!” וו He doesn’t move. “WAKE UP! YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP! DON’T LEAVE ME! Don’t leave me…” I can see his face growing pale. Suddenly, his eyes open just a bit and his lips shake. “You can’t leave me, Colt. You can’t. No one will ever love me like you do and I won’t ever love again.” His eyes start to close and desperation sets in. “You can’t die!” I use my fingers to open his eyes. “You can’t die. Heal! HEAL YOURSELF!” I command. There is a sudden grunt. His face contorts and he opens his eyes wide. He takes in deep breaths as if he was trying to find air. “Colt?” I am balling my eyes out. “Colt?” I don’t know what is happening. Did my command work?” “Colt!?” He suddenly blinks a few times now staring at me and starts to calm down. “Is he…” As I hold Colt, Victor leans down and puts his ear to
Chapter 81 “L–late?” “Yeah, late.” Ezra holds an invitation up. The same one all the other Alphas had. “How dare you set foot here?!” I shout unable to contain my temper. “I got an invitation just like everyone else.” He nonchalantly says. “Don’t bullshit me! You know this was all you, you f**ker!” Colt holds me all this time because I have been trying to get to him. All I can think of is ripping his head from his shoulders. “Let me go, Colt!” “No, this is exactly it. This is what he wants…what he is up to.” He says. Victor nods as he rushes to will be considered a violation of the protection seal. They will all band together against us.” then I will have to take control here. Take a deep breath, girl, and be the Alpha we need right now.” My eyes dart to him with anger. He nods. “His time will come. Bide your time right now and watch him closely.” “It seems there is a problem?” Oliver speaks. Warrick stares at me to try and get my answer. Grinding my teeth, I speak. “No, no problem at all.” I look at him. “Sit. Enjoy the food.” Warrick relaxes and Colt lets me go. Warrick then addresses Victor. “Victor, the borders?” “I have not received any update of anything out of the ordinary.” I continue speaking to the guests. “As I was saying…” My words are tense. “I want to thank you all for coming. It is quite a surprise that you all made it. As stated in the invitation, this will be a neutral feast. A safe festivity even if there is conflict between us. You may talk freely but also remember that you are my guests, I will not tolerate misbehavior.” To be able to say all of this, I have to force myself not to
Chapter 80 I look around first without engaging. Garret, Victor, and all of my generals mingle. They act normal but I know they are trying to get as much information as possible. “You will do great, my love.” Colt says. I turn to him. I have been so stressed with all of this that I had not noticed how good he looks. I caress his cheek. “So handsome.” “You think so?” He asks with a cheeky smile. “Yes.” “And you are looking exquisite. Maybe we should just forget about this whole party.” I squint my eyes at him. “You lie.” He laughs. “We can dream.” I sigh. “I don’t like having responsibilities.” If we weren’t the ones in charge, then we could forget about all of this and go have some fun. I turn back to the festivity. Some of the Alphas socialize with each other. I can see which one of them knows each other and most of them “Cass.” Garret walks up to “So, anything?” I ask. “Unfortunately, none of them know anything. It seems that they were all surprised to receive this invitation.” “Are our borders secure?” “Yes. The possibility that this is all just a distraction is high.” “Good. Now, what am I supposed to say to-” My train of thought disappears when I spot someone that should be resting upstairs. “What is Dad doing here?!” “What the hell?” Garret is just as surprised as I am. Colt, Garret, and I all rush to Warrick. Victor gets there in no time as well. “What are you doing?” “He won’t listen.” Lotus says sounding tired. I am sure she already tried her best to talk him out of this idea and Poppy nods agreeing. “I-” Warrick takes in a deep breath having trouble just starting to talk. “Something is going to happen tonight. That much is obvious so I can’t just lie around and do nothing.”
Chapter 79 “How many have arrived?” I ask. “Three so far but by the looks of it, it seems as if it will be more.” Victor replies. “How did this happen?!” “I have no idea. No one that I know of has mailed invitations on our behalf.” He holds an invitation card out for me to see. I take it and examine it. It looks like a legit invitation telling them that they are invited to a feast in our pack with the pretense of a neutral council after and it even has the seal of neutrality. “This look…legit.” “It does and so we have to treat it as is.” Victor says. “What do we do?” The seal of neutrality and a neutral council…it means that all fire is ceased and no one is allowed to make an advantageous move. It would be treason to do so to all other packs. “We can’t turn them away.” Garret says. “If they find out that this was a hoax made by our enemy, they will start thinking that we are weak.” I nod. “Okay, so we do the opposite and use this to our advantage. We show them how strong we are. We show them how it would not be a good idea for them to join Ezra and go against us.” “I agree but also, we need to be very careful. This is obviously a plan from Ezra.” Colt says. “What in the world is he trying to do?” “I am sure we will know soon enough.” Garrets says. “And the Alphas? Do they know what is going on?” I ask. Victor shakes his head. “No, they assume they are here exactly for what the invitation says. We’ve never hosted an Alpha feast or council so most of them–I am sure–didn’t think it would be a good idea to refuse.” “Poppy and Lotus are having rooms prepared as we speak
Chapter 78 “Will this work?” Miles asks. “I have no idea. I hope so. I look into Bryn’s eyes and she looks into mine with hope and expectation. I focus, trying to reach the power inside of me. “Bryn, you may speak again.” I recite. She takes in a deep breath and opens her mouth. “I…hate you.” “You did it!” Dash cheers. “Ah!” Bryn screams as she jumps with excitement. That was a lot easier to do. I look back at Honora with a smile. “It worked!” She smiles back and nods. “As it should.” I am so happy that this is not something I have to worry about anymore. “Now let’s take care of that baby. Here, drink this tea.” She says handing me a tea cup. “Tea? What is it for?” I ask as I take it. I never really liked tea even though I have had it with Lotus and Poppy but just out of courtesy. “It is Rooibos tea. It’s full of antioxidants and naturally free of caffeine. It’s good for the baby.” Kanda nods. “Yes, Rooibas tea is very good for pregnancies.” Yuck… I sigh and start slowly sipping the tea. When Honora walks out of the parlor, Lotus takes the teacup from my hand and smells it. She then takes a sip. “What is it?” “Nothing. Tastes like normal Rooibos tea.‘ “Why would you think differently?” “She is good at making potions so just making sure she didn’t put something extra that might be bad for werewolves and she might not know about it.” She looks towards the door Honora left and mutters. “I should probably go tell her about some of the plants that could harm our kind just in case.” I narrow my eyes at her. “Are you all going to be fussing like this the whole time?” She laughs and walks away. “Maybe.” “Hey, you!” I hear Bryn behind me.
