A Plan

Lucian’s POVI slam the door behind me harder than I intend, causing Madeline to jump in fear. "Sorry." I say quickly.Since I entered her room, she's been a little jumpy. I felt her flinch when Elisha knocked at the door too."Are you fine?" I ask as I hold her hands in mine, interlocking it."Yeah, why?" She tucks. Strand of hair behind her ear, revealing those beautiful eyes of hers."You seem a bit... jumpy." "Oh, it's nothing. Really. Just a little shook after today's hunt." I feel her hands stiffen as she says that."Oh, that's true. How'd that go? You guys didn't bring back any game, did you?"She shakes her head. "N-no we didn't. There wasn't much for us to catch so Fang thought we should come back." Something feels off with the way she says it but I let it go. "Alright then. Maybe next time.""Yeah," she turns to smile at me. "Next time."I make a mental note to ask Fang after we get back from the meeting we're going to."How about you? You're good? You looked a little unse

Struggle.

Elisha’s POVI squeeze my fist tight enough for my claws to puncture my skin. I've never lost control of my wolf but it seems like it's slipping. The one holding the power reign was changing. And it's because of someone. Because of a scene I had witnessed.Lucian.Madeline.The sight of him, shirtless, breathless, standing in her room while her lips were still swollen and her clothes worn weirdly....I grit my teeth and clench my fists wishing the thoughts would just go away but no, it keeps replaying. It burns my chest and crawls up my throat like bile.The truth was I didn't even know I'd find him there. True, Ryker had asked me to go find Lucian but I didn't want to go meet him first. I wanted to see Madeline first. I wanted to hold her even though it wouldn't be for long. But someone was already going that already. Lucian was already doing that. And sight hurt so much like being stabbed and realizing the blade wasn’t clean, that it carried heat and venom both.Damn him.Damn me.

Peace.

Lucian’s POVMornings always come sooner but this one seemed to come double the pace. My eyes snap open as the sun rises and I can't seem to shake the feeling of responsibility from my shoulders.If, by luck, I'm able to convince the rest of the pack to come to our aid, it'll not only change the tide of the forthcoming wars but also legitimate us as a pack, grant us allies for whenever bigger troubles arise and also help us expand.I exhale from my mouth as I sit upright, my face falling in my hands. It’s not just a journey. It’s leaving my people. My pack. Her.I turn to my side to where Madeline is resting. As my eyes land on her face, eyes snap open and she looks away, avoiding eye contact with me. I've known she's been awake for a while but she's refusing to say anything.“Say something.” I say, wiping my face with the back of my hand , trying to look cool. “Anything.”She looks back at me, her lips parting but no sound comes out. Her eyes are too bright, shining in the morning l

Responsibility.

Ryker’s POVI stand at the gate, watching Lucian and Rock's retreating figure. There's no turning back now. He left for the right reasons and everything seems to be going towards the right place but I can't help but feel as if it's a mistake. I can't help but feel as though we made the right choice.Maybe it's just the nerves talking. The weight and responsibility Lucian left for me. I've been a Clique leader for most of my life but the rogues I tended to weren't as much as this. There was no title to it then. Now, I'm literally a beta and an acting Alpha. I sigh, finally tearing my eyes from the disappeared figures as I turn toward the house.“Actually thought you were gonna stand there all day?"A voice says, stopping me in my tracks. I raise my head and realize it's just Elisha. He’s leaning against the wall, arms folded across his chest, a casual grin on his face that seems to be a facade. He looks like someone that knows something no one knows.Well, who isn't like that?"Elisha

Distance.

Madeline’s POVI'm up from bed before the sun sets. Sleep didn't come as quickly as it should have and after it did, it left quicker. Lucian might have left, that doesn't mean the pack and every activity wouldn't continue. It was time to continue training. I wait until it's all bright outside as I begin to tie my shoe laces, I open the door of my room, squinting a little as the morning light hit my eyes.The pack is bubbly already and I spot people moving around and some even fighting. Rogues"Morning." I say to a woman staring, increasing my pace.People from Ryker's clique had heard of the lighting 'goddess' as they've put it and everytime I walk, it's more like them waiting for a moment for me to slip and let lightning shoot out of my ass.I don't head for the field immediately. There's something, no, someone, I have to set things right with. My coach and instructor, Elisha.With no idea or knowledge of where he'll be, I begin to search for him around.I don’t even know why, reall

Caught.

Claw’s POVStanding in front of forty to fifty recruits, I observe them with my hands on my waist and a rueful grin on my face. I notice a few imbeciles, twarts, little fuckers. Easy to form into warriors with little time.One of those imbeciles pokes his hand in his nose, taking it into his mouth right after. Real warrior material, these lots.I clear my throat, loud enough to get their attention.“Alright, listen up, mutts!” I bark as I walk in front of them with my arms folded behind my back. “You think you’re wolves? You’re not. You’re puppies who still piss on the floor and cry for mama."I let that sink in as I stop in front of a recruit with a bald hair and freckles on his face, his eyeballs unnaturally big. Stopping in front of him, I look directly in his eyes as I address everyone. "By the time I’m done with you, you’ll either fight like demons or crawl back to your mama’s tit for milk. Either way, I win.”A ripple of nervous laughter goes through the group. One bold guy mut

Fang.

Madeline’s POVI leave Fang’s room, clutching my stomach because I can’t stop laughing. It wasn't my fault I barged in. I remember Lucian telling me how knocking isn't a part of rogues. Besides, they should have locked their door."I should have knocked too." I groan under my breath as the sight of Claw in her assaults my thoughts. "Now, I've got my eyes raped. Graceful, Maddie. Real graceful,” I head to the woods alone. I had gone to Claw with the hopes of finding someone to train with. Maybe I'd just have to do it myself.Maybe I can try shifting.'About damn time.' Nyah growls in my head, causing me to roll my eyes at that.The voice in my head makes me jump. “Nyah?” I call out loud.'Who else, genius? You’ve been ignoring me long enough.'"Ignoring you?"I blink. “I haven’t been ignoring you! I’ve been... procrastinating.”'That’s literally ignoring.'“Semantics,” I shoot back, crossing my arms. “I’m here now, aren’t I?”Nyah huffs like a diva. 'We’ll see how serious you are.'Ru

Trap.

Fang’s POVPatrol is supposed to be boring. That’s the whole point of it. You walk the borders, sniff the trees, maybe growl at a squirrel, and then you go home. Well, that's how it's been for a while.But tonight? Tonight decides to screw me over.One second, it’s just me and the quiet woods. The next, shadows flicker between the trees. Too fast. Too silent.“What the hell—”Teeth. Claws. A blur slamming into my side, knocking the breath out of me. Pain erupts down my ribs. I swing back, claws out, but another figure—or the same figure— darts in.I sense movement behind me and all I see is a blur of red hair as I spin around to counter them when they knock into me. My heart slams against my ribs.Something slices across my thigh. My knee buckles.Voices. Snarls. The metallic taste of blood floods my mouth.I slash at one shape, feel my claws connect. A scream tears through the air. Satisfaction flickers—short-lived, because another weight crashes onto me, forcing me down. My head sma

Fight.

Lucian’s POV"I've been thinking," "Of course, you have." Rock mumbles underneath his breath.I pretend to not hear. "I've been thinking, maybe I should put you in charge of the recruited warriors."Rock pauses from stoking the bun fire he had made, giving me a confused look. "Hun?""Hear me out on this one." I say, raising up my hands. "For every pack we go to—""—every successful pack, go on."I roll my eyes at the interruption. "Every 'successful' pack we go to, and for every warrior they hand us, I'll need someone from my side to keep command.""And you think I'm the right person for that?" "Why not?" I shrug.Rock shakes his head as he keeps stoking the flames. "Idiot.""Wait, you don't support the idea? It's a brilliant plan. You're strong, loyal, competent, ado—i mean, good..... looking." I correct myself."Listen, thanks for those words. I appreciate but I'm not qualified for the task. I'm not a leader. Give me a mountain to face and I'd face it. But leading a group of fight

Celestial.

Madeline’s POVI arrive at Lucian's hideout. My fists clenched and my jaw tight.They had not only hurt my friend, they had also sneaked into Lucian's hideout. My newfound place of solace.I storm through the entrance, only pausing when I spot footsteps."There's more than one." I mutter.Maybe I shouldn't have come here on my own.Nyah snorts in my head. 'If something tries to eat us, I’ll laugh.'“Not helpful,” I hiss, scanning the trees.That’s when I see them.At first, I think I’m hallucinating from lack of sleep, but no, there are three figures stepping out of the treeline like they own the place. The air feels heavier and charged.The man in the middle makes my breath hitch. He’s tall, really tall, and broad-shouldered. He takes off his hood first and I notice his cream-colored hair that falls neatly around his face, and eyes the color of storm-clouds right before lightning cracks. His presence feels… ancient. Like he’s been watching centuries crawl by. His eyes are firmly on m
