LOGINWherever 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.![]()
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
“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Brendan raged. Reynard held his hands up in defence. “Look, just let me explain–”“Explain what, that you think my brother kidnapped our mate? Or how about the fact that you told the council that I bonded with Suki? That we both did. Do you have a death wish for me?” He ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated. After Reynard shared the information, the council exploded with anger, pointing fingers at the Rogue and blaming him for everything. Reynard tried to step in and assure everyone that he was not at fault, but no one chose to believe him. It wasn’t until he finally revealed the truth – that Brendan was bonded to Suki, and so was he. To his luck, it didn’t take much to convince everyone, given that there had been word of many other anomalies occurring in too many packs to ignore and pretend it was falsified information. He finalised everyone’s belief in his words when he called for Brendan down their bond, and he walked into the room.The
Suki’s world became still as the traumas of Brendan’s past began replaying in her mind like a horror movie; the visuals of his home pack and his own brother standing right in front of her made the story that much more vivid than before. Blindly gaping at Hadeon, Suki hadn’t even realised she was s
The following day, Suki awoke with a warm and hopeful feeling in her chest. Her father had truly listened to her. He heard everything she had to say and agreed to her request of getting to know Brendan more before making her choice for her mate. It was almost too good to be true. Last night, when f
Brendan held himself tall, refusing to look weak in a moment that was shattering him from within. He looked Suki in the eyes and exhaled, “It’s alright, you can do it. I understand.” “Quiet, boy,” Machiavelli spat, “don’t act like some hero to her. You broke the rules. Now, Suki–” “No,” Suki said
The air around her became thick, cold and unbreathable. Suki looked at her father, wide-eyed, mirroring his shocked expression as he saw who was with his daughter. Looking up at Brendan, his eyes were the only window to show his fear, but his body screamed protective, holding her close even though s
