A loud scream made her snap her head up and she saw Hunter ripping apart the limbs of the demon in his beast form. His beast was snarling as he did that. River got up from her place, her mind still dizzy. She dragged her feet to his beast. She should have felt afraid of his beast, but she didn’t. Instead she felt protected. “Hunter…” she called him.
He looked at her with his fiery golden eyes and his chest vibrated with a rumble. River walked up to him slowly and placed her hand on his arm. “He is dead.” she murmured. She knew that he was ***the demon only to protect her.
“De…ad…” he grumbled. “I will ***him…” he said in a raucous voice. When he was fighting with the demons, he sniffed River’s smell. He was so scared for her that he left his group and ran for her. While coming here, he saw a demon and attacked him instantly. Within minutes, he had taken him down.
Next, he was coming to meet River but saw another demon attacking her. He shifted into his beast and with a bellow, he attacked that demon.
River’s lips lifted into a smile and she threw herself in the arms of his beast. Immediately, he curled her up in his embrace and buried his snout in her hair. “River…”
“Hunter, I love your
They returned to the Dark Moon pack along with all the warriors. The news that River ****Ella spread like wildfire amongst all the Lycans. Hunter’s chest swelled with pride at what his mate did. He was least expecting that from River because he thought that she was such a fragile girl.
He took her to his room and for the next one day, he didn’t meet anyone nor did he let River do anything other than rest. The demons had all fled and only two of his warriors were injured. With Ella dead, they didn’t have a leader or a plan to follow.
“But this war doesn’t get over now, Hunter,” she said. She was lying with her head on his chest. “I can’t believe that they ***my father because he wanted peace with you all. When Ella mentioned Alpha Lowell, I remembered that he was mentioned by one of the Lycans in the ball. And now that I connect the dots-” her throat choked once again. Fresh tears flooded her eyes.
“River!” he got up and pulled her in his lap. “Please don’t cry. I don’t like when you cry.”
“I don’t want to…” she sobbed. “But I can’t believe that they ***my entire family. Alpha Maxim let me live and as if I was a constant reminder of my father, he ensured that I got the worst treatment from everyone in the pack.”
Hunter wiped her tears. “I know what you are going through, River, but don’t cry. Let those emotions fuel your revenge. If you want to take your position back in your pack, I am going to help you. Do you?”
River looked at him with her wide eyes. “I will, but not like this. I will plan this out very carefully and-was going to make everyone count their sins. Slowly and painfully.
When River stopped talking. Hunter stroked her cheeks with his thumb “I am with you on this in ***way you want it to be, he said softly. It tore his heart to see that she was the true heir of the Crescent Moon pack and she was brought up in the worst possible way. He didn’t want to imagine what all she suffered He was appalled by the fact that Maxim was Ella’s brother. That meant that he and River had the same purpose. But he didn’t know who else was with Maxim in this conspiracy. He had to find out about that before taking any step that would risk River’s life or his pack She placed her hand on his and leaned into it. “I know. She kissed his palm and closed her eyes, reveling in the warmth and scent of it. “I don’t think that Alpha Maxim was interested in fighting with the Lycans as much as he was attaining my father’s position. I don’t know whether he has a secret set of warriors who fight for him with the Lycans, but I do want to know about it.”
“I will send my warriors and spies to find out about them as soon as possible.*
She shook her head. “No.”
Alpha Maxim was looking at his sister’s body that his warriors brought back from the forest. They found it after a day. She was lying on a bed in the Shaman’s cottage, her head turned at a weird angle Ella had been both physically and ****strong and she led the whole rebellion against the Lycans. She was the leader With her gone, he didn’t know what other Alphas would do.
As he circled her body, a shudder of pain passed through him. His sister had come back after a gap of twenty years. Everyone was so happy in his family. There was jubilation of sorts. He had rewarded Victoria with announcing her marriage to Hector soon after After Ella recovered, she had come to visit him and they both talked about their future strategy. So much depended on her. The last strike against the Lycans was one of their biggest, which Ella had led and she ended up being ***. What he couldn’t believe was that someone had snapped her neck.
Ella was a very strong she-wolf. She also had the support of the demons. Demons practically moved with her when she fought with the Lycans. He had never seen a she wolf stronger than Ella. Then who could have k***her like that? There were signs of struggle on her body. A few bruises here and there. As Maxim stared at her bruises, he realized that someone stronger than her must have ***her.
The demons who were with her were also dead. He clenched his teeth as he closed his eyes. If Hunter thought that he had quashed the rebellion, then he was wrong. Maxim was going to increase his efforts and for that he had to meet the other Alphas. This time he was going to do it or ***for it! He looked at Ella again and his throat choked with emotions. His sister had rejected her mate for this cause and here she was lying… dead.
“Alpha Maxim,” his Beta, Rick, called him.
Maxim snapped his head in his direction, irritated by this sudden intrusion.
Rick winced. “Th-there’s a message we received.”
“What message?” he growled.
“River is coming to meet us.”
Maxim was shocked. “That ***! I had asked her never to come back. How dare she defy my orders? I will ***her if she steps in my territory!”
“She is coming along with Alpha Hunter,” Rick said in a low voice, scared of his Alpha.
Another shock blasted through him. “With Hunter?”
“Yes, Alpha!
Maxim narrowed his eyes. He knew that Hunter was well aware of the attack of the werewolves on the
Lycans, but there was no way to connect him with the rebel werewolves. Nonetheless, after Ella’s death, they could connect him with her. And to remove that evidence, he had to do away with Ella’s body as soon as possible. He had to be extremely cautious and fathom if Hunter knew about his involvement with the rebellion. At the same time he had to deal with River.
After he had ***her father and her family, on numerous occasions he wanted to ***her too, but that would mean that his reputation would go down in his pack.
He looked at his sister and let out a rough exhale. To his Shaman he said, “Burn her!” He wore his goggles and walked out of the room. His Beta joined him on his way out. “When are they arriving?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Did they state their purpose of coming?” he asked. He was surprised that they were coming just after Ella’s death. Surely, there was a connection, one that he had to figure out. It was possible that Hunter was coming to find out about the werewolves’ attack and using River as an excuse. He could use this to his advantage. He was going to inform all the rebel Alphas about his arrival and they would devise a plan to ambush him.
“River wants her graduation certificate from the school. She has joined some online course where they are demanding her high school certificates.”
