Chapter 74
CHAPTER 74
One night I snuck out of the house to go in search of a flower that people at school had talked
about. It supposedly had magical powers- said to make you strong and bold. I grabbed my shlight
and a backpack with snacks I had packed earlier, just in case I’d be out on my adventure all night.
For a kid who couldn’t wait til he got his wolf, magical strength and bravery sounded pretty good.
I followed the trail in the woods which led past the blossoming hills and the trench. My feet were
subdued in mud and rainwater and I remember having the time of my life. For a kid to be out on his
own, searching for a hidden flower that could grant you such a strength that you couldn’t even
dream of when you were six.
Seeing its crimson red petals and thorns, gehtly tucked close to the trunk of a big tr
and almost igniting under the moonlight.
Just when my fingers were about to reach for it I heard her voice.
“Out on an adventure are we? The witch told me about the dangers of messing with unknown
magic. And that nature should never be
disturbed.
She told me how some things are beautiful because they aren’t ours to take or to keep. Gabby’s
speech from the fair that she gave to the boy who couldn’t reach the star; reminded me of what the
witch had said.
She had nted the flower there when she first arrived at the pack and nobody had been able to
pick it up. She sat with me for hours. Her fingers wrapped around my small hand and she exined
with soft eyes how dangerous it could’ve been. Not long after that, my mom came running into the
woods in her wolf form with a heinous growl. The witch ced me on my mother’s back and waved
me off and I got the scolding of a lifetime once we got home. The witch was a friend she was a role
model to the young ones who dared speak to her. Yes, she had grown more grumpytely but if
ever you needed her, she was there.
“She’s family.” I said to Edmund.
Hours passed and everyone was still outside on the field learning new techniques and betterCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
understanding what we were up against.
I saw how exhausted they were, their punches were losing strength and their aim was off but still,
they didn’t go home. They were alt busting their a*ses out on that training field and the chefs were
preparing a big feast for when they were done.
Droplets started falling from the sky, hitting them one by one and damping the ground. The warriors
didn’t stop training until the rain started pouring and damaging their vision but even after that they
all stood and let the rain hit them in the face as they cooled off.
Everyone gathered in the dining hall and was served the food on big tters.
It reeked of sweat and exertion but never in my years of being an Alpha-or even being born for that
matter- had I been this proud of my back members. They dug in and reloaded their energy.
Sam came strutting into the dining hall with her hips swaying and her hair falling over her shoulder.
Her brows furrowed when she saw our pack members, and her old friends, sitting down and eating
with sweat dripping down their bodies.
Her eyesnded on me and she strutted over with a grin.
“What’s this?” She asked and ced her hand on my arm.
“This is our army,” I said and ced my hand on her waist. Sam melted against me, cing all her
weight on my body when she felt my fingers caress her skin.
“Your army?” She breathed. A moan was not far behind. I graced her skin and slid my hand down
softly. My other hand went up and ced her hair behind her ear.
She licked her lips and looked into my eyes with deep lust.

CHAPTER 74
“Yes, we’re leaving for Asher’s pack tomorrow,” I saw the fear sh in her eyes and she stammered
for h
“But he’s leaving you alone, right? I mean he no longer wants the title. That’s just what I’ve heard,”
her check. My other hand slid down her backside and I felt her shiver in my arms.
next words.
furrowed my brows and cupped
“He sent a letter- stating the exact opposite. He still ns on taking the title only he wasing
here,” I said to her with a soft voice. Her jaw clenched and for a second there I could see that he
had told her about his ns.
“Then why are you leaving, if he’sing here?”
“Because he’s expecting us to stay put and wait for him. But we’re taking the fight to him and getting
the upper hand.” I said and
smirked.
“Aiden, why don’t you just wait and see? Maybe he won’te,” She said pressing her chest
against my arm. I leaned down, her eyes flickered down to my lips and she parted hers.
“No.” 1 said and let go of her.
“You’re going there?” She asked me and cleared her throat.
“Yes w
we are.” Something shed in Sam’s eyes and she smiled nervously.
“I have to go but, Uhm, can we meet upter?” I smirked and nodded my head.
“I’d love to.” Sam smiled and practically ran out of the dining hall.
“What the hell was that?”
“What happened to the n?”.
“If you cheat on our sister I swear by the goddess” I heaved a sigh and looked at the Santos
brothers. Three Alphas were a lot to handle. I knew how my temper was so putting up with three
people just like it was hard.
“Would you guys rx? I just wanted this,” I raised my hand and held up Sam’s phone. It had been
in her back pocket and after telling her the n, I knew she’d want to call and warn Asher.
Nick smirked and uncrossed his arms.
“Nice.” He said and pped my hand.
“Edmund, you’re up.” I said and smiled as his eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas.
He rubbed his hands together and bit down on his lip as he looked toward where Sam had gone off.
And like a wolf getting ready to jump at his prey, Edmund walked out of the dining hall. Ready to
begin part two of the n.
-Gabby’s POV-
The dust had gathered in the corners, building into small piles. Spiders had made homes on the
wall by the beat-down drawer. A handle was half off, one of the boards on the other was gone and
the closet pressed against the wall had holes in it.
All Erin had on her bed was a pillow and a thin nket on a dirty mattress. I needed to get her out. I
needed to get them all out.
“You have to go,” she said with panic in her voice when she looked at the little ring clock sitting on
the floor beside the bed.

CHAPTER 74
“Why?”
“They’reing soon to get me.”
“For what?” She looked up at me and I saw the answer in her eyes.
“I’m gonna get you out,” Erin stood and grabbed my hands. With a soft and tender voice, she
whispered, “I believe you’re gonna try.”
I walked back into my room, sneaking past t
the open spaces and rounding the corners quietly as a mouse so I wouldn’t get caught-
Once inside I shut the door and heaved a breath. Okay, so maybe 1 failed to save my pack, my
brothers, and Aiden but I was here now and I could still save all of these girls they held captive.
I just needed a witch who could reverse the spell and the only witch I knew was the one back home.
