Jace’s POV:
{2 Weeks Later}My life had seized the very moment I was caught in between two enemies who had form a powerful ally to get rid of me. I had narrowly escaped two shots of the silver bullet which was targeted at my heart as I fell off the second floor and the last two faces I saw before my vision failed me where two girls that I could barely recognize.I had fractured bones and I was bleeding severely and all I could remember was when I asked for help as I gasped for breathe. And the next time I opened my eyes, I was on a hospital bed, the silver bullets, removed and I had bandages all over my body.For years now, I have kept my whole identity as a secret as I couldn’t let anyone know of my true identity of being a werewolf. And whoever had me treated was now part of my entire life as she shared my deepest secret with me.“Hello??” Jones had walked in with Marcus, my head warrior.“I have no information yet about who had you treated. But I promise to come back with a positive feedback sooner than you expect, Alpha!!” Marcus lowered his head as he muttered those words.“And how about you? Have you tracked down Brandon? I need his goddamned location. He must pay dearly.” He growled in rage as his red eyes gleamed.I had sent away the pack doctor after he gave me the last shot of the injection and I had Jones sit down on the couch.“How about Connor and his men?? Any information yet??” I snarled as I felt Odin stomping with so much rage.“Yeah. They will be having dinner at Swiss Hotel exactly by 9PM today!!” He responded as he stared at me.Looking at him, I could tell that he was wondering why I had grinned when I heard they would be having a dinner night in Swiss Hotel.And as I looked through his eyes, I could hear his wolf disapproving of it. But who cares anyways?? They messed with the wrong man and I was going to show them what it means to dare the wrong man, a man like me to be more precise.“You can’t be serious, Jace!!” He snapped the moment I told him what I had in mind to do.“It’s either you are in or out?? And regarding that lady, you have to find her before the next full moon and bring her to me. She will die by my hand!!” I snapped as I stood up from my newly acquired sofa bed.Darcy’s POV:All that ran through my mind ever since I had dropped off that stranger was him. How he was currently fairing and why he was a threat to my entire life. I couldn’t get him off my mind and I felt like going in search for him. I wondered what my life would look like if we ever get to bump into each other again.I am the last breed of my kind - a rare breed of werewolf known as the blood wolf. We had the power to control the mind of other werewolves and after we were sought after for mischievous plans, our refusal was met with coercion and assassination and running away, for the first time I felt like I have failed badly.I happened to find myself through the busy crowd as I walked up to where the Italians were all seated, making merry with their various wines.Finally I concluded my work hours as I drifted inside the locker room and I got changed immediately as I stepped out through the back door. I felt a bit scared. Whoever those men where, they sent down cold chills down my body. They knew who I was and I couldn’t recall where I had met the bald head white man. But whenever I looked inside his eyes, it brought so many bad memories. My wolf resented him so dearly and I felt like tearing him into pieces for no justifiable reason.I took the narrow street that led to the main road as I never wanted them to stop me. Right now, my heart raced really fast as I walked really fast“Who do we have here!!?” I heard a familiar voice muttered and it was accompanied with the front lights from vehicles which blinded my eyes.I stood still as i covered my eyes with my hands. I shifted backwards but then I felt a strong hand drag me in as I rested on his muscular body which made my heart race really fast.“Come on!!” I heard his husky voice as he held my waist tight, dragging me to his body the more like he was about to suffocate me. “Why don’t you come along with us??” He muttered as he spank my ass.In rage, I had slapped his left cheek really hard that sent him groaning and he grabbed my hair and he pulled me closer and my face got smashed with a hard slap that sent me falling down.“After 3 years of searching for you, look how it all ends?? Who thought you would ever leave the woods to come live with some pathetic humans?? Your hide-and-seek all ends here, little baby girl!!” Their boss scoffed as he walked closer to me.Now I had remembered who he was. He was the alpha, one of the alphas who had burnt down my pack. He was Alpha. Connor. “You murderer!!” I cried bitterly as I rushed him, punching his chest hard and all he did was laugh hard as his men joined him.He slapped me on my face as he sent me falling on the ground. “Pick her up and lock her in the van!!” He scowled. “No time to waste here. Finally we found the cure and with her, we can become more powerful.” He chuckled softly.I fought aggressively as they dragged me to the boot and they all froze immediately, letting go of me. I pulled off the scarf they had used to cover my eyes.Opening my eyes gently, they met with a fierce, glimmering red eyes. I trembled immediately as I recognized those eyes and I felt cold chills run through my veins as I staggered a bit, standing upright and all that my wolf, Raven could say was the word “MATE”.I looked at him and his physique was as domineering as his glimmering, red eyes and he was huge and tall like a basketball player. He should be about 6'6 ft tall and he was well fitted.All I could see was his red eyes as he stood in the dark and the moving cars on the main street exposed his muscular physique which was so alluring and his shoulders which were broad and his arms bulged with strength.I looked down at his domineering figure and I noticed how his waist was narrow and his trouser held his thighs a bit and I could tell they were powerful, muscular legs. His aura exuded so much strength and confidence, like he had no fears or worries at all.He stood still as he played with the toothpick he had in his mouth. And right now, I was lost as I stared at this complete stranger whose eyes were alluring and his nose, pointed. His chiselled jawline made him drop dead gorgeous, complimenting his high cheekbones as well.They had turned on their front lights again but he stood resolut
I felt the heavy punch which sent me to the ground and then, I saw these two hefty hands that used a sac to cover my face, pushing my head inside a pool of blood. "Finally. We have caught you. And we can finally use your blood to cleanse our dying race and sick pack."The voice said in a shrewd manner as I struggled to free myself from his strong grip. The more I struggled, the more he tightened his fingers around my neck, almost strangling me as I choked heavily. "I never believed it was ever possible to come in contact with a blood moon wolf." I heard another thick and manly voice that came with a heavy door bang. "After the alpha destroyed their pack, who ever believed someone actually made it out alive?"The man with the thick and manly voice laughed hysterically."Go harder on her. She mustn't escape."He ordered the hefty man that was pulling my head inside the bathtub filled with blood.Slowly, I was losing my consciousness as the blood soon filled the sac and I could feel
"What do you mean by you are growing Wolf-less?" Peter asked and she could see the disappointment that lingered in his eyes visibly."Are you being serious right now that you are growing Wolf-less?"Jane went on to ask again to confirm that what I was saying was nothing but the truth."I keep trying but then, I have been rejected twice by my mates. The more I get broken, the more my wolf hurts and the more she grows weaker."I said calmly as I looked at them.Whatever I had said wasn't convincing enough but how can I possibly explain to them that I had no clue to why I was growing Wolf-less. This was rare, highly rare and mostly from a curse but then all my life I had spent, hiding and running from my past and finally I could no longer run but face it. "And when last did you shift into your wolf? What's her name?"Peter asked as he looked sternly at me."Raven.""Ohh! At least you shift."He exhaled softly as he looked at me."I have never shifted before. No matter how hard I try to
"I don't think you really want to talk about that right now."She snapped as she looked at me. "And why is that?" I became more terrified within the thought of what the haunted villa was all about and why Jack Steele had threatened me with it. And I knew he wasn't just coming up with the whole haunted villa stuff to scare me. The dream I had an hour ago, the man who was drowning me in the pool of blood also had the same tattoos as Jack and the voice of the person that had walked in, urging him to go harder on me so that I couldn't escape still had his voice, manly enough and thick. "They are just rumors, nothing more and nothing less, you can trust me on that."She shrugged as she forced a smile on her face. Looking at her right now, I could tell that she was definitely hiding something from me. "Can you take me there?"I asked in a curious tone. "Take you there? Are you insane? Hell no, there's no way that I am taking you there or even stepping my legs inside that building."S
I walked gently behind the four ladies and they kept quiet like they were dumb. All they did was to lead me to wherever Jace Steele was.The more we walked, the more I could perceive his whiff which was very strong and the stronger it got, my heart slowed down. "Drop it already?"I groaned as I could gradually feel Raven (my wolf) get agile. I could feel the excitement in her as she kept on pacing in my head and wagging her fluffy tail. We were closely bonded that the slightest movement she made I could feel it and after the last time I heard her say that word, "MATE" she had dropped weak and now again, I could feel the excitement. "I hope his wolf gets to like me!""Can you just stop with your daydreaming already?"I snapped her out of that thought of Jace's wolf getting to like her. "He knew you all along and yet, still had the mind to torture us."I scoffed as I kept moving. And right now, I could tell that we were very close to where he was. "C'mon, don't be such a killjoy."
"What!?"They gasped as I told them the cause of my bruises. "You mean my brother did this to you?" Peter growled as he grabbed my hand. “How could he do this to you?”Jane cursed as she came closer to me to examine the bruises I had gotten. “How could he be so cruel towards you?”She whimpered as she had me sir on the bed. She brought out a first aid kit as she treated my wound. “Uhm!” Katherine cleared her throat as she rolled her eyes. “What is it you want to say now?”Peter scoffed as he looked at her. “I doubt if Darcy Snow stands a chance of being Jace's mate.”She rolled her eyes again as she sighed. “C'mon, don't give me that look again, Jane.”She scoffed as she hissed. “How could a man in his right senses hurt a lady in such a manner? How could he send his claws deep inside her flesh and even in her neck? Wasn't that extreme?”She paced about as she kept on ranting and pouring her heart. “That is why I hate powerful men!”She concluded with a heavy hiss. “Can you
I stood up as I took the cloth and then went to change my cloth. I treated the little bruises I had incurred from Jack's brutality. “Are you insane?” Peter questioned as he saw me wearing the maid's gown. “Wait! Don't tell me elder brother, Jace Steele did this to you?”He shuddered as he looked at my right fingers.“And why would he have you do the maid's work when you are his beloved second chance mate? This is crazy. I mean f*cking crazy.”Jane said in a disgusted tone as she sat down on the bed. “Are you really sure you want to walk down this lane, Snowy?”“This lane would really be a difficult one because he despises you already, so what are the chances that you get to be accepted as his second chance mate?”Peter went on and on asking several questions.I stared at him and wished he was my mate after all. At least, ever since I stepped my feet here, he has always been caring and concerned about my well-being. “I will go talk to Jace.”“It wasn't just Jace's decision but Jack
I swept and mopped the floor, not leaving a single dirt. He ordered me to scrub the dining table thoroughly before leaving which I hurriedly did before I went to prepare another oyster Rockefeller and sandwich for him again.I walked down in the lonely street to get few stuff.Luckily for me I was able to get them and before I was done with his dinner it was already few minutes past 10p.m.He ate the food and ordered me to do the dishes as a punishment for starving him. And when I was done with the dishes I was completely exhausted.I had never worked this hard in my entire life. I also had to scrub the kitchen floor and clean the gas cooker and the table as well.Moved to the dining and I also scrubbed the floor with a little towel which made it a very tiring task. And before I got done with all the chores it was already few minutes left to 1a.m in the morning. My eyes were heavy and I really needed to sleep as well. I returned back to the room I had been occupying just to see Jac
