My eyes shot open my body, shooting forward this was no coincidence. She'd always been right and I had listened to every last word that she told me I knew I would have to keep on going for my children's safety. I was less concerned about mine, but those of my children, they meant everything to me. I couldn't lose them, not now.
“Sergio, Serenity. Wake up.”
They groaned.
“Why mom.” They whined.
“We need to get out of here they're coming.”
Their eyes sprung open leading to their feet. They knew exactly who I had meant. The shadows, the monsters of our nightmares, the ones who had no right to find us, the ones who were just fed on greed to get revolution only I could bring. I could think of a few if they knew my true identity. Serenity had slipped up in front of that male w***e, bastard, Matthew. He wasn't getting my daughter. I would make sure he wouldn't, he didn't deserve her and that bastard alpha would never get what I held. I'd never once given my wolf up to him and rightly so. He was untrustworthy and he never saw me as his Luna pathetic worthless alpha.
Something felt off, very off. Since we left alpha Lincoln’s pack I felt something strange inside me, was he following me or was it a stronger presence I could feel beside him? All I was sure of was that I wasn't going back to his pack. I didn't trust any of them even if he did. There were traitors there. I had felt it and Storm had felt a transferable shift. It wasn't good.
he was a male w***e he’d f**k any she Wolf he could find.
We all changed into our wolves and took if there was no way in hell I was waiting around to see who the first deceitful bastard was going to be. We needed to keep running and find a place where we lay low and be safe. I needed to tell my children everything about their father and everyone else in that disgusting pack.
Prince Koen
We ran through the woods faster than we'd ever run before we had to get to our mate. Our beta and gamma running next to us with some of our top and highly trained warriors. No way were we going into this with our eyes shut. We needed them wide open and aware of the danger around us, the rogues were far from our territory but you could smell their foul stench anywhere. They came in words we were used to killing them by now but they'd seemed to have doubled in size since we came to the throne not officially but we had taken over from our father once he became too ill to do his duty as King.
We wouldn't be crowned until we had found our mate. But we had to act quickly or we would lose her for good. There was competition and we had no idea who this other wolf was. If she'd accept us, him or none of us it was a chance we were willing to take. Though we needed a Luna to be crowned, it wasn't necessary.
Koen plucked his nose up and sniffed around us something in the air to see if he could scent our mate. “We have to hurry, they're on the move again. If we don't catch up with them we'll lose them.”
I nodded, grunting.
“There's other smells mixed in with hers.”
“Who’s?”
“I'm not sure, Zyair. A male and a female.”
“You think she's travelling with two other wolves.”
“I do you to smell the air brother, something feels off.”
I lifted my nose and sniffed the air around us and sure enough, there were many unknown smells all tangled into one another. They all smell different and of alphas, betas, gammas and deltas. The ones that stood out the most were those I hadn't smelt in a while. It couldn't be, Noone had heard of or seen him in years after he'd been banished for his father's death. The Rogue Alpha. There had been so many stories about him that he had died in the woodland due to dehydration, others about him that he had been sought out by rogues and had become their new leader. Or they had outrightly killed him.
The other got me growling. “Rogue.”
“Are you sure Zyair?”
“I am. I smelt the Rogue King. He's on their trail, we have to get to them before he does.”
He nodded and we sped off at the speed of light we had to get to them before that half-wit our king caught up to them then it would be game over if we didn't get to her first. He was a conniving bastard that wanted recognition for what wasn't his and what he hadn't accomplished by taking it away from others we'd never come across him before, though we had heard of him we needed to end him before he got to our mate.
“What else was in the air brother?”
“The Rogue Alpha.”
“Are you sure? No one has heard about him in years.”
“I'm positive.”
“Is he going to be a problem?”
“He could be, or he could be a blessing in disguise.”
He snorted and we continued running over the dried-out grass and crunching debris of the autumn leaves and branches. We had to reach our destination, our mate before the Rogue King did.
Prince Zyair
“Somethings wrong,” I say, smelling the air once again.
My brother snorts in agreement.
The air isn't as fresh as I remember, it's a musky smell that can only mean one thing: danger. I can't smell the roses that remind me of my mother, the ones she planted when we were cubs in the remembrance garden for our sister, the one we never got to meet because she was snatched from under my parent's noses when she was knee high to a grasshopper. Our parents have told us what they can remember of her.
The special gift from the moon goddess with special gifts that once opened every wolf would want to take for their own whether it be good or evil. After our mother died my dad made a vow, a promise that he'd find Abigail and bring her home. He tried so hard to keep his promise whilst our mother was alive. Now he was on death's door and we made that same promise to bring her home to at least see her father once before he leaves us forever.
She is supposed to reign next to us as our successor. Our queen will be crowned king but now we have found our mate, our Luna things will undoubtedly change. Abigail has no idea who she is, what type of will she is, or what she can do for the world if she decides to she's one of the rarest wolves on this earth and that's why father thinks the runt took her away from us and kept her hidden and out of plain sight so she wouldn't turn into what our father had trained us to be. Killing machines and with a wolf-like our sister by our side would cause destruction and a bloody war until we took down all of the other packs around us claiming them as our own and if none of them agreed to our demands, their ending would be brutal and grotesque.
We're not sure how Abigail had turned out or where she even was. What we did know was we had to keep our promise to our father and bring her home. “Our mate is getting further and further away. I can feel her heartbeat fading quickly. Someone's after them brother, we need to get to them before anyone else does.”
“I agree brother.”
A bright light emerges around us like a bolt of lightning that gives us the strength of ten wolves. It made us stronger and faster as we sped across the woodland. We both knew we had to get to our mate before whoever was following them did. We both fear the worst for our mates and whoever is with them. We need to be to all of them and fast before the enemy does.
Serenity
A rush of energy zaps through me. I feel hot all over and unable to control my inner powers. I'm not sure how many I have but what I do know is I'm not the only one who has these powers and is struggling with them, Sergo, my twin brother. We feel the same thing it is known that twins share mates which would be pretty f****d up in this situation as we're both opposite sexes and I'm not sure how that you even work considering that alone. It's usually the same-s*x twins that have the same mates not opposite unless this world is truly f****d up unless we share opposite-s*x relationships that are too tucked up to think about I hope we haven't got the same mate we're total opposites.
But we're feeling the same and I can't shake off the feeling of going on in my mind, body, and soul. I'm not sure if Sergo is having the same problem as me but when I look over at him his eyes are glazed over and completely black f**k if his are pools of darkness what are mine?
“Your pupils have dilated brother,” I told him through our mind link.
We established our mind link around two years ago. We all have learned to mind-link each other without having open-mind links between all of us if we want a private conversation without getting the other person involved, unless necessary.
“So have you, sister.” His mind linked back
“What do you think that means?”
“It can only mean one thing.”
I snorted and we both said, “Mate.” “Mares.” through our mind link.
Fuck.
What the hell are we going to do?
“Did you just say, mates?”
“I did.”
Double f**k.
“We need to tell mom once we stop she needs to know that we're being followed not only by a bad omen but our mates too.”
“What if they're a bad omen too?”
“Then we'll know to trust me and trust your instincts sis.”
“I will make sure you do too, bro.”
“I always do.”
I nodded snorting, cutting off my link so we could continue running and hopefully stay away from danger even if it includes our mates. Once we stop, we will have to tell mom everything we've been feeling uneasy or not, she needs to know we have mates out there.
Mates, as in plural. Two f*****g mates.
Double f**k.
