Chapter 75 EZRA’S POV Pay! She will pay! Those blank eyes stare at me as they have been staring for the last few hours. Not a single blink…not one. But what kind of blinks could a severed head in the middle of a table give? No one in the room eats. They all just stare […]
Chapter 74 “Eight stabs in the chest?” Garret asks. The doctors examine the dead b*dy that has not yet been moved. The b*dy is of a pack member, one who is part of the house guards. “Yes, but it was a silver weapon.” Beck says. “What does this mean?” I ask. “Who killed him and why? Is it connected to Ezra or Oliver?” “It can mean anything really. This could have been just a murder completely unrelated to any of us.” He says. “The man was stabbed eight times, it seems to me like a crime of passion.” Victor says. “Or anger.” “Great. On top of all that we have to deal with, now we have a murder investigation going on too.” The beta, Archie, steps forward. “If you allow me, I’ll deal with this one.” I give him a nod. “Please do.” “I’ll start the investigation immediately.” He says. “Thank you.” Victor nods. “Don’t worry about this one. Let him handle it. You have more pressing matters now.” “Like what?” ו “Meeting. We need to discuss our next move.” I sigh. “Yeah…that.” I am disappointed that I didn’t get to have a bit of time with Colt. We all head down to the war room where everyone gathers. “Our trackers still don’t know where Alpha Oliver is. He left a day or two before we attacked.” Victor says. “So he was informed?” Colt asks. “There is a possibility that it is a coincidence but it is too convenient. We have to
Chapter 73 I kneel between his legs as he demands while he relaxes on the armchair, watching me. “Good girl.” He says, fumbling with his pants until they come undone and his member peaks out. I lick my lips in a subtle motion anticipating the taste. I make myself comfortable between his legs as I pull his pants down just a bit more so that his engorged stick can be completely seen. It is starting to harden but it is not enough just yet. softly grip it and then lay my lips with k*ssing motions, sliding from the tip to the shaft. I haven’t taken him in my mouth yet but he still hisses with pleasure. When I reach the bottom, I k*ss up again until the tip is on my lips. That is when I open my mouth and take him. My hand slides up and down on his shaft while my lips and mouth pay special attention to the tip. I suck while my tongue dances around it. My other hand touches his soft balls and that makes him cough a little. He moves strands of hair from my face and then his hand slides to the back of my head where he caresses until his fingers tangle in my hair. I hear him sucking deep breaths through his teeth and moaning. That’s when he holds my head in place and starts thrusting his hips up, filling my entire mouth with his cock. I hold my breath and try my best to hold my gag reflex. He moans and hisses until he finally pulls away so that I can breathe. I take in a deep breath and then go at it again. It has become much easier to do and I enjoy it too. It is fun to see how I can make him react. “Enough.” He suddenly says. He pulls me up and turns us around, setting me on the armchair as he settles in between my legs. With heated eyes, he takes my pants down and once they are completely off, he kneels and latches his mouth on the entrance between my legs. It catches me by surprise so I gasp. My b*dy wants to
Chapter 72Chapter72“You… are glad that I am okay?” He asksand I immediately nod.“Yes. I am.”Warrick stares at me. I can tell that he does not know what to say or do to the display of my affectiontowards him.He has done terrible things but… he was just a broken man all this time. Of course that
Chapter 71 Colt grips the iron mask in his hands. “What kind of…how could…” He can’t seem to finish what he wants to say. “Even I am shocked. I don’t think even father would have thought of such a thing.” Victor says. “I mean, I could see him do it but he never thought of something like this,” Garret says. “So this Zao, he made you fight in this arena?” “Yeah. It was ridiculous. He had stupid titles for us and made us wear ridiculous things. It was all a show for sadistic people to watch. “I “But cutthroat.” Kanda ads. I nod. “I only survived because of Kanda and the other girls.” I tell them. “The skills that Victor taught me helped me tremendously too and on that note, once we get back, training must continue.” Victor nods. Colt–who does not seem to be past the mask issue- looks up at me. “He…he bolted this on you?” My hand goes up to my temple, caressing the skin and remembering the pain. I nod. “And you killed him…Zao?” He asks. I nod. “Good.” “We killed him, his son and we almost had Ezra.” “Ezra?!” I nod. “He was there. I had him. I had him in my grasp but he got away. All because of that witch!” “Witch?” I nod. “Took her head off.” “Who did?” Victor asks. “I did. I did to her what he did to Lauren and before I forget…” I look at Kanda. “Send it to him in a box.” I kept it for that purpose. Colt stares at me and looks a bit stunned. They all do. “Don’t look at me like that. I am not the same person I was a couple of months ago and it is not a bad thing. I have grown, I have learned and I am stronger now.” I was such a silly naive little thing. I know I still have a lot more to learn and grow but I am starting to see it all. That little child in me is opening her eyes. As I think this, I look around and notice Oliver’s picture
Chapter 70 Back to Cass’s POV “Every twenty minutes, the guard makes a round. That is our opening.” One of my men tells me. I nod as I stare at Oliver’s pack house from a good distance. After taking over that god–awful town, we headed straight here. I want to make Oliver pay for what he did. I might not have that mask on now, but I can still feel it on me. I have the ghost sensation that it is still over my eyes and I hate it, not to mention the pain of it being drilled into my skull is still fresh in my memory. My group is not big, so the element of surprise is a must. We need to get in there and take out as many as we can before anyone notices. Leading a team is new to me but I did not want to wait. To go back to my pack, I would have had to come near Oliver anyway. But I decided to do this because I knew for sure that if I went back to the pack first, Garret and Victor would suggest waiting on attacking Oliver. They always have a reason to hesitate and I hate it. “There. He’s moving.” Kanda says. I nod. “Now. Keep low and quiet. Take down anyone you come across–with the exception of children–and don’t let anyone ring any alarms.” We rush in through the shadows until we are behind the pack house in a dark corner. “Split up. Four teams. Two teams out here taking out guards one by one. Don’t kill them. They can be useful once Alpha Oliver is dealt with. The other two teams go inside doing the same until we make it to Alpha Oliver. Now HE…he is mine.” They all nod. My team and Kanda open a window and go inside the pack house. The room is dark and empty of people. It is late so I doubt any pack members–who are not guards–are awake. We come across the first guard. Kanda knocks him out in a flash. He doesn’t even make a thud as Kanda slowly puts him down. We carefully head through a hall and find another guard. Just like the other one, we take him down and continue. I carefully open the doors trying to find the main office where I assume Oliver could office, then we’ll search for his room. We come to a door where I can see light coming from the bottom threshold of the door and we can hear
Chapter 69 -Colt’s POV- “So they are ready for us?” I ask. Garret nods. “Yes. Our scouts have been captured. Oliver has the upper hand now.” “Then what do we do?” I am starting to feel helpless. “We watch but prepare for an attack.” “So…we wait again.” “It is all we can do.” “Cass is out there and who knows what they are doing to her!” Victor puts a hand on my shoulder. “I get it! I know! But this is the situation right now.” “She is strong. She can hold on.” “I know she is but It doesn’t matter. They can kill her at any moment! And what is even worse is that we don’t know where she is!” “My men say she has not been seen in Oliver’s pack or Ezra’s. We don’t know where they have her.” Beck says. That is what kills me the most. “Ezra’s men have been seen moving too.” Rodrick speaks. “Something is up and we have to be careful especially now that all other packs are watching us after we took the river packs.” Garret nods.“The Alphas of all other packs–excluding us, Ezra, and Oliver–had a meeting a day ago. I am assuming it was about our squabble but so far, they are waiting however, they are on edge. Anything could tip them over and join the fight against us.” Garret ads. Victor nods, looking pensive. “Send them a message. Tell them that this fight is between us, Oliver, and Ezra’s pack. If they don’t get involved, then there will be no issues with them.” “We can do that but trust me, they won’t believe it.” “Try it.” “So again, we just wait?” I ask, my frustration peacking. “I have a team that is going to try and get some more information. So yes. For
Chapter 68 “Atack!” Chen points his sword in our direction. The men that remain with them hesitate but not for long. Soon they run in our direction. They clash with us and the rest of the prisoners who fight on our side. It feels like a dance for me, I dodge as I slash, taking two down. But the enemies keep coming. Chen’s men and Ezras combine. Together, they are overwhelming. We continue to fight and as I take enemies down, it does seem to get easier. The fighting, the anticipating their movements; the dodging, parrying, and countering it all gets easier. “We are not going to make it!” Sheril shouts. “They are too many!” “Throw me!” Maribel says to Kanda. “What?” “Just like you did Casseopea. Throw me, I can take a few out.” “I know. Just get me as close as you can.” “Alright!” She doesn’t even give me a moment to get ready. I feel her hands on my back and then I am flying through the air. I see Ezra and his image gets closer but I know I won’t be landing near him. I close my eyes and connect with my wolf. “You want him dead just as much as I do. So go get him.” I open my eyes as I am about to land. I shift and immediately my wolf takes control. We fall on an enemy halfway towards Ezra, ripping his throat with our bare fangs. We start running, trying to doge as many enemies and people who fight. My frustration peaks when it seems like we can’t get to him fast enough. When finally we have an opening, we zone in on him. He is distracted looking in Chen’s direction and doesn’t see us coming. Excitement rises in me, itching to have his neck in my jaws. Just a few feet away, I can almost taste the victory. “Over my dead body!” The
Chapter 67 “Kanda…I can’t! You are my friend!” “Friend… Then take up arms, friend. We don’t have a choice.” “Kanda…” She swings her axe in the air above her head before she slices at me. I dodge it, it is not hard to dodge her movements. Her body might be fast but that weapon is a heavy weapon. It slows her down just a bit. As I dodge back the swing, I do not see one of her hands letting the axe go. She grabs me by the throat and hits me with the axe’s hilt right on the mouth. She fights like a warrior. She then throws me back, picks up her axe with both hands and swings down at arm. This makes her let the axe go but she doesn’t move back, instead she sprints forward and tackles me with her shoulder. I fall to the ground and lose my blades but the moment she is on me, I get to my knees and use both my fists, punching her in the stomach. “Uh!” She takes a step back with a gasp. I wrap my fingers around the blade that is next to me, then I swing it. My blade plunges into her thigh. She screams and falls to her knees. Wasting no time, I got to my feet. I swing around her, and put my arms around her neck, ready to snap it. But I hesitate. I don’t want to kill her. In a split second, she grabs my shoulders and flings me to the ground in front of her. She puts a hand on my chest, pushing me down. As she does this, my hands feel the ground looking for one of my daggers. Suddenly, her other hand is on my face, then, she wraps her fingers around my mask and rips it off of my face. I scream in pure agonizing pain. I know the crowd cheers but all I can hear is a ringing in my ears. I feel disoriented. I am lifted and thrown a few feet away. I can feel warm liquid drip down the side of my face. I get to my knees and finally, I am able to focus but I am still in shock. Kanda grabs her axe and faces me standing a few feet away from me. “Kanda…” I whisper. She stares at me–I can see the remorse in her eyes—she looks up behind me
Chapter 66 Is she…is she really saying what I think she is saying? That can’t be…I think back on the past month and realize…that my period has been late…how stupid can I be?! How did I not realize?! Oh my–no…this can’t be! Kanda sees the panic on my face. “What is it?” “I…no…I can’t…” Not now. Not while I am in here. “Did you not suspect it at all?” She asks. “No! I…I’ve been so out of touch with myself lately. I…I just can’t imagine it.” Is this really…real? I mean…how dumb am I? I know how babies are made so how stupid can I really be?! How did I not think that having constant s*x with Colt would not result in this? Not once did I give protection a thought. I am not sure he even thought about it either. We both have been in this blissful little bubble. Like two idiots. I am in deep shock. I am not sure I am ready for this, actually, I AM NOT ready for this, to have a…baby. I can’t even imagine myself right now going through that. My thoughts are suddenly consumed by Lauren and how much she wanted to have a child. How she didn’t get to live her dream because of my own mate, or rather the man that was supposed to be my mate. But…what am I going to do? I am in this place…fighting. I even have a fight tonight. This can’t be good for…the baby. It is so weird to think this. To think that there is a tiny thing growing inside of me. It feels so…surreal. I have to get out of here! Now more than ever, I need to get out. But how? I can’t keep waiting and hoping that Colt will come for me. What if they never do? What if they never find out where I am? What if I die in that damn arena before they can find me? No. I can’t just leave it to someone else.
