Masuk~ Hadeon POV ~It all started when I was a youngling myself…Life was good. My parents were Betas, second only to the Alpha and important aspects in ensuring Nighttide was kept to the high standards we set ourselves. As a firstborn Beta-son, my father had already plotted out my entire life for me – he wanted me to be a warrior just like him, and use the power of the shadows in greater ways than he ever could. You can understand that well, can’t you, Suki?He prepared himself to train me for when my powers manifested, since it was common for high-ranking werewolves to develop their secondary power before their wolf; he wanted to be ready. Yet, by the time I reached 2 years old, my parents began to grow concerned. My behaviour was different to other younglings – I didn’t explore within nature; in fact, I was almost repelled from the idea of playing outside. The curiosity to connect with Mother Nature was not within me. They didn’t think much of it; they thought maybe some younglings
Suki furrowed her brows. “I was referring to Reynard Otake, son of Remus Otake – Gamma wolf and former greatest Warrior of the Moonstone pack. Seems like Reynard holds the title of greatest now.” He crossed his arms. “Oh, I suppose you’d prefer if I referred to Reynard as your other mate?”Her eyes widened. “How the hell did you know that? And why do you know so much about his father?” “Because Remus Otake is the bastard that ruined my life.”The world stilled as his words echoed in Suki’s mind, fading away so all she could hear was the thumping beats of her own heart. Things began to make sense, the connection between herself, Reynard and Brendan – their worlds collided well before they had even met, and it was all because of Hadeon. Knots churned in her stomach as she questioned. “You’re the reason Rey’s parents died… aren’t you?” Thump. Thump. Thump. “I would’ve killed Remus myself if I could have, but it had to look like a targeted attack from the humans.” He sighed carelessl
Suki’s stomach churned as bile burned her throat, but she was too weak even to throw up. She wrapped her arm around her stomach, hunching over. “I… I trusted you,” spluttered Suki.“Aw, poor, sweet, innocent Suki,” Hadeon hummed, cradling her face in his hand and forcing her to look at him. His arrogant grin grew wider. “Did your wolfie instincts fail you? Oh, that’s right, you can’t feel your wolf spirit right now, can you?”“Don’t touch me!” Suki tried to slap his hand away.Hadeon grabbed her wrist and sneered, pulling her closer. The paleness of his flesh and weakness of his movements, suddenly gone – it was all an act.He played her.
“Brendan gave this to me when I lost my connection to my wolf and to him. It’ll allow me access to his shadow power without having to access our bond.”Hadeon held her wrist and looked at the mark again. “It’s pretty small, looks like you only have enough for one spell.”She sighed, “Yeah, he didn’t want to overwhelm my weakened body. Plus, I wouldn’t be able to do anything super powerful in the state I’m in right now.”“Are you sure you should be doing anything at all? You’ll make yourself worse.”A nod. “We can’t stay here, especially you. You’re the key to this all.”“So what are you going to do?”“I’ll hide us in the shadows; it&
Wherever they were, it felt like a maze.They passed through the only exit where they were located and slowly walked down a hallway.Suki was on high alert, scanning every inch of her surroundings – no cameras, no guards or workers or whatever goons brought them there, and no signs of an escape route.“How long have you been here? Do you know?” asked Suki.Humming a groan, Hadeon murmured, “I have no idea. I’ve been in and out of consciousness.”As much as Hadeon tried to hold his own, Suki was forced to do more of the heavy lifting than anticipated, which only depleted her minimal strength
A throbbing sensation was the first thing Suki felt as she sluggishly opened her eyes. The weight of her grogginess was shown in her struggling to keep her eyes open. She whimpered. What the hell happened?Where am I? As the realisation hit, her eyes flashed open, and she gasped, trying to sit up, but as she did, her arms were slightly restricted. She looked down to see steel shackles around both her wrists, attached to thick chains on the bed. A hospital bed.She looked to her side where a machine beeped away, monitoring her vitals. Looking around the rest of her surroundings, Suki realised the bed and medical equipment stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison to where she was – inside a cage that looked designed to hold animals.To hold in werewolves. She felt like she couldn’t breathe. Placing her hand on her chest, struggling to handle the weight of the chains, she slowly drew her hand up towards her neck and felt something cold and solid around her neck. “Well, look who’s f
Morning struck sooner than they hoped. Suki and Reynard remained silent as they got themselves dressed and packed. They left their temporary accommodation and waited in the centre of the town for Talon to guide them out of the pack. Suki could feel the awkward tension between her and her mate, and
The night was no longer young. In fact, Suki and Reynard had stayed out enjoying the party longer than either of them had planned, to the point where neither of them knew how many hours there were until morning. Arriving at their accommodation, the pair were both mentally exhausted, but physically
“Oh,” Suki’s cheeks were on fire. “I… um.” “I only ask because if you were seeking before, perhaps you still are, and with my high ranking, perhaps you’d be willing to…” Hadeon cringed, feeling as awkward as Suki felt. Suki faltered, “That is very sweet of you to consider me, Hadeon, but I’m sorr
A heaviness grew in Suki’s chest. “Wipe out… the werewolf race?” She looked to Reynard, who was already looking at her, equally concerned. Reynard discreetly took hold of her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “How did you come to this theory?” she breathed. “It’s difficult not to when a vast nu
