Chapter 156
I had to say it was going well until one of the more younger wolves dared to send a growl to
Raizel.
I bit back a snarl, a reflex to defend and aid him. Raizel doesn’t waver under the thick and
heavy cloud of aggression rolling off the wolves. Not even the most iciest of glares is enough nerve him. He maintains his posture, composed and looking ever so powerful with his
shoulders squared up and muscles bulging out. He was slowly releasing his dominance, keeping the wolves in check and allowing them to know that even if they chose to attack, he’d have no problem picking them off one by one. The rawness of his power oozing from
where he stood.
The tangible strength of this man in his Alpha role sends pleasurable tingling down my
spine.
A pool of heat making its way down my lower abdomen.
I force my thoughts in the back of my head, clenching my jaw as I looked on. Yielding to anyone much less these people will never happen. The day I bow to these people will be the day I’ve officially lost my mind.
Emerson steps forward, holding the authorization document up to the wolves. A look of calm graces his features as he spoke,
“Under the authorization of Chancellor James Williams, Alpha Crestfield of Greyhound and
Alpha Locksworth of Ignis Red are permitted entry into Nightwake on the account of detainment. Refusal to cooperate will mean automatic status change for treason. You will not alert your Alpha of our presence or purpose. Those who decide to do so will be subdued, arrested and put on trial.
A hush falls upon us before the wolves break out into whispers. A mixture of anger and fear spiking into the hearts of the wolves. The name of Raizel alone and realizing he was the notorious Alpha dwindled their confidence. I release my own waves of authority. The wolves who’d been looking at me stepping back and bowing their heads as they did with
Raizel.
Raizel winced in surprise, snapping his gaze to me with a slow, sexy smirk on his face.

After Breaking The Mark His Desperate Chase
Chapter 156
The darkened look in his eyes melting the restraints of control within me. A purr from my wolf and seductive swaying of her tail enticing him further.
“That’s them… the Hellhound and the Bloodlust Alpha.”
One whispers quietly.
Raizel whirls his head to the short brunette who spoke. It takes a threatening rumble from the man beside me to silence them. Raizel grows impatient with the way his eyes narrow own on each individual. Its only until the head of security who I recognized as Kenneth
a few seconds, he
stepped up to look at the document. After scanning down the page
turns his head and nods at the gatekeepers. A long reluctant sigh leaves him.
“Let them in.”
The large gates pull open upon command. A gush of relief flowing through me at the fact we didn’t need to use force to gain entry. Although no one objected, I can feel the thick
apprehension from the Nightwake wolves.
No one says a word when we get in and drove through the entrance. The short drive remained silent and terse. Raizel’s hand falls on–top of mine. His fingers lacing themselves through the spaces before closing around it.
Taking the reassuring squeeze of his fingers, I let my eyes fall to Isaac. His eyes narrowed down as he stares out the window. Unblinking and hard while we pass by trees and soon come into view of the pack houses. Both Gammas go unnaturally still.
“This needs to be quick.”
Isaac mutters.
“Walker is definitely going to cause a commotion. Hell, I’m sure Dixon will too.”
Raizel casts him a glance. His hand tightens around mine.
“Should he try to stop us, I won’t think twice about snapping his neck.
“Whose? Walker’s or Dixon’s?”
I ask, turning my head to look at him. I feel a chill run through me from the way his eyes

were distant. He simply watches as we pull into the driveway without taking his hand from
mine.
“Both.”
The minute the van stops moving, we slide open the doors and step out. Emerson, Isaac lagging behind Raizel and I. It doesn’t take long for people to notice us. In fact, we had eyes on us the minute we entered the heart of Nightwake. The familiar earthly scent of pine and
soil surrounds me.
Stomach forcing my heart to beat
All of the unwarranted emotions bubbling in the pit of erratically. I can’t deny the nerves I feel. There’s this unshakable feeing that something very bad will happen. Something I won’t be able to prevent. And it only grows by the second.
Wolves start crowding around. Some stopping mid–step to watch and whisper to one another. A gleaming red enters my vision and I find myself seeing the ring on Raizel’s finger. His crest. A blood red gem with a black band circled around his pinky.
I haven’t noticed it until now.
“Move! Let me through!”
A
e barks out. I turn my attention to the man facing himself through the crowd. Murmurs around us growing louder as my father breaks through and stops in front of us. His heaving chest falls as he takes us in. Confusion but most notably anger storming in his
blue eyes.
