Chapter 39
Just at the same time when I got into the Royal Packhouse, Dolph stepped out, just like he already saw me coming.
"Hey, you forgot something?" He asked making me sigh. I can't believe I came so late that I was unable to find out anything.
I looked up at his face and something was weird, he looked more fierce with just a glance, his muscles were larger and stronger, every part of his skin was as tough as you can ever think of.
"I came looking for you after I couldn't find you at the camp where we were all preparing for the war" I replied scrutinizing his whole body, he shrugged, and let out a short smile before shifting into his wolf.
"Let's go back and finish up that pack who dared me to my face, I never knew Alarick had been my enemy for years and he had been hiding it, I had even thought he was a good friend and was looking forward to being his In-law as his son would be marrying my daughter, but it was all tricks!!!" His voice growled so deep with rage and sadness.
"Alarick is so deceitful and cunning, so cruel to go as far as killing our daughter, he will pay dearly with his life!" I gruffed and also turned into a wolf, we both ran back to the camp.
I kept my gaze on Dolph and could see a purely different man, there was a different aura of power oozing out of him.
I just can't help but wonder what he did to himself, what exactly was giving him such a power that were sending goosebumps all over me.
I think I have to watch and see how today turns out, I'll watch and see how far he can survive fighting both the Alarick's Pack and his warriors which I'll control their minds and make them attack him.
That would be after I make sure Oliver dies too, I just found out he is being held by the Rogues.
Maxwell's POV.
"This is our only chance to bring Dolph down!" Olcan my Beta yelled at the top of his voice. "What are you insinuating?" I asked with an arched brow.
"We have reduced drastically, our men are strong but few in number, the Red Moon pack has waged war against Alpha Dolph and his pack, we should join hands with Alarick to fight Dolph who is our single enemy!", He explained and my eyes glistened at the good suggestion he brought out.
"Olcan, you are right!" If we can join hands with them and bring down Dolph, we would have peace again and would have nothing to fear!" I beamed and rubbed my palm in glee.
"We should kill him before going to form that alliance, leaving him here would cause more problems and distraction!" Olcan suggested again gesturing at the young prince of the Shadow pack, Oliver who seemed to be unconscious from the torture he had passed through.
"But I think we should keep him and make him a slave instead of killing him, that would make us more like a hero in the eyes of other packs", I smirked and he sighed and nodded before walking away.
I followed him from behind.
Oliver's POV,
********
I heaved a sigh of relief, a sign of life, you can't tell how fretted I had been hearing I should be killed.
I can tell, the man named Olcan had the deepest hatred for my father. He must have wished all the evils on earth befall him since i came here. He had always spit out angry words filled with pain. Dad had caused him a lot and his quest for revenge was far more than that of everyone in that pack.
Right now, i could have been dead if Maxwell the Alpha hadn't brought up that suggestion. It would be better to be a slave than a dead body.
The chains were still around my wrists and ankles. I couldn't move away from the position i was in, but even I wasn't chained, there was no way i could leave here, not for the locked door but the broken bones and intense pains that were all over my body. I had been beaten to the point of death. Olcan had released all his wrath on me.
I moved my body to a sitting position and regret that it immediately as I felt my whole body set on fire with the fire of pain that went deep into my bones.
I was surprised I didn't die.
My thoughts went to Layla immediately and wondered if this was what she went through; i had seen her tortured with a whip that had wolfsbane on it, and I had seen the whip tear her skin as well.
She'd scream and laugh at her. Was this the kind of pain she always goes through?
Oh no...
Hot tears found their way down my cheeks. I think I understand what the pains were because right now, I am into it.
I sniffed my tears and developed a great pity for Layla. My heart had been bleeding in pain because i was being tortured for what my father did, but then, Layla had been spurned and tortured intensely for what she never knew of. A toddler had no power to kill a strong Luna like her mother.
She was unfortunate to come out when her mother was destined to die. Did she kill Evelyn the Luna for real?
If she was that cruel and powerful, many would have died at her hand since she lived in the Royal packhouse. If she had gotten great power to kill Evelyn at her birth, she would save herself from all those tortures we put her through... Another roll of tears flooded down, not for the pain i was in, but because the torturing scenes of Layla just kept flashing through my mind. No one had even cared about her...
I was sure my father would win this war as he never failed, but then, why did Alarick pull such stunt of killing my sister? Why did Noah lie to everyone? Who would be his mate after everything?
I was lost in thought when the door of the room, sprang open and three guards walked in.
I stared at them, wondering why they were here inside when they should be on the war side.
"What...can...", my voice hitched as they all turned into black wolves, and before i can say or do anything, they all pounced on me with those claws amd sharp canines, which dug into my body deeply, sending a sharp, excruciating pain that made me lose my breath.
I gasped and yelled, trying to free myself but how would i do that when I was chained and my boes were broken? I was weakto the core and could only grunt in pain as they slashed and tore in my skin.
I think I was destined to die with my sister in the end.
My blood gushed out from every part of me. My strength was gone, i found no power to shift. There was nothing i could do as i left my body being torn by these bloodthirsty wolves.

I saw one of them raise his long sharp claw and fixed his gaze on my thumping heart. "Olcan wants you dead not tortured!", I heard him say, and tears fell from my eyes. With speed, he started to dig it in, making me shut my eyes, but then, i felt nothing. Was I dead already?
Slowly, I opened my eyes to see another wolf with brown fur fighting with the three others...
I arched my brow wondering who it was or why she was saving me. I could tell I was still in the rogue's den where everyone hated me, so who is this?
The fight was fiery and bloody as my soul wasn't relenting for a second. It was like someone was ready to give it out to save me...
After some minutes, the three wolves were lying on the floor motionless as their hearts ripped off by the strange wolf who came in at that moment.
I could only stare in amazement at her strength before shifting into human form...
"What!!!... Louve!!!", I exclaimed, with my eyes widened.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I wasn't dreaming so what the hell was happening? How did she come here?
Her eyes fell on me and I could see she was damn weak and exhausted from the fight. There were bloodstains all over her bra and pant. She took out her school uniform, which was tied over her leg when she shifted and wore it on. "Louve!!", I called her name but then she wouldn't look at me. It was like she was afraid to look at me in the eyes. I just need to know how she did this. Who told her I was here?
"How did you...", I couldn't finish my words before she picked up a sword lying on the ground and slashed into both sides of the chains, making a loud clanking sound before it broke off,
She did the same to the ones over my feet.
"I am still nothing to you?", she asked and sat right beside me, her eyes wet with tears.
Her words made me recall what I said to her in class. She has always had a crush on me, but i wasn't in for love, not when i was yet to drill the holes of all the women in the school. I was a playboy and wasn't in for any relationship, but then she loved me and i knew it, but I would keep turning her down.
Just today, i bluntly told her she was nothing to me.
I darted my gaze to her face, falling deep into those lovely brown eyes.
"I took the risk because I... loved you. You may never love me for a second, and i may be nothing to you, but my nights had been filled with thinking of you, and when i slept, i kept having you all over my dreams. It is fine if you don't love me. 05s.org for uninterrupted enjoyment. The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively available on our site. Happy reading!

I am here to save you and help you out of here. You can choose to come with me to my pack or go to yours, even if there is war there", She paused and sniffed back her tears.
I know I'm foolish for saving you. I don't even know if we are mates. What matter is that i love you. I am sorry for disturbing your life", she yelled and took my hand to help me up my feet.
"Louve!!", i called out and she turned to me with those tears.
Her eyes seemed to affect me, I could see pure passion in them. My eyes went over the wounds she got just for fighting for me.
I couldn't help but get my heart racing, made a deep sigh to calm my nerves.
I had decided to never fall in love. That made me lock my ability to perceive the scent of a mate. I wasn't ready to be trapped by it.
"You loved me this much?", i asked with squinted eyes and she sniffed, looking away...
"I am sorry. I must look so clingy, obsessed, and stupid in your sight. After today, I'll never come close to you again", she mumbled slowly, like she was forcing those words.
I opened my mouth to say something, but then a strong flavor and heartwarming scent filled my nostrils, making my eyes widen...
She also cringed, her eyes brightened...
"You are my mate!!", We both said it at the same time and gasped before bursting into a short laugh.
"So...we are mates?", I asked and she covered her face with her palm shyly.
"Will you reject me?", she asked, blinking those sexy eyes.
I laughed and held her slender waist.
"I'd rather die than reject you. Let's leave her before another wolf comes here to kill us. And mind you, I am heading to your pack. Your father, the Beta, would be proud of his strong daughter who was able to bring down three men at once", i smirked, and she blushed.
"Oliver, I still don't believe it is true we are...", she chuckled, and I held her hand as we ran off.
"Until I mark you, you won't believe we are mates", i said shyly to her, making her laugh softly.
I was surely going to come back to my pack to make things right. I don't know how much evil Dad had done, i don't know how much death he caused and people he had put in pain, but one day I'll return to set things right. I am the heir to the throne of Shadow pack, I need to be alive...
"Go in there and kill Oliver. He is the heir to the throne, we can't let him live", i heard the voice of Scarlett clearly, the voice of my mother. I heard it with my sharp hearing ability from the distance i was and that shocked me.
"Who is that woman making the order?", Louve asked as we sped off.
"My mother", I replied, feeling my heart heavy.
Why would my mother want me dead?
