Chapter: Chapter 50: NamelessZedex "Three... I—" I couldn't finish what I had to say, suddenly Emery and Madison slumped to the ground. They let out a raspy, guttural sound, as they clung to their chests, with blood gushing from their mouths and noses.'Even the cake was poisoned?' My gaze was fixed on Madison, as he was already struggling to breathe, his chest rising and falling in rapid breaths.My gaze averted to the variety of food on my table. 'That means everything here was poisoned.'Troy rushed to Elder Emery and held him in his arms while screaming his name. "Elder Emery! You can't just die... hold on, I will get the pack physician this minute."His voice was breaking down, as a few drops of tears flipped out of his eyes. Elder Emery shook his head, struggling to say a word; however, he uttered a harsh, hacking sound, coughing out more blood."Guards! Bring in the Pack Physician this instant!" His voice raged out in fear and desperation.It was said that Elder Emery was the beta of Troy's father, back d

Chapter: Chapter 49; The Countdown Zedex POV“Hayaah…” I exhaled softly and tapped on the tip of the cup, requesting more tea. Mogan stared at me, hesitating again, pleading with his eyes for me not to take any more tea. I nodded, smiling, staring at the guests' faces, which looked like their eyes would pop out from their sockets."Mogan, more tea," I voiced out, urging him with my eyes to do as he was told."Alpha, please don't hurt yourself by taking the poisoned tea," Sally and the rest of my guards pleaded behind me.Mogan sighed as his shoulders dropped; however, this time, he bent the kettle sideways, like the first time, and filled my small cup again. I picked it up and gulped it down again.The Alphas couldn't believe their eyes, like what was unfolding in front of them. Their once shocked expression was now replaced with confusion as they stared at each other.Troy quickly regained his composure, as he seethed, "Alpha Zedex! Are we a joke to you? How dare you accuse my Pack of poisoning your tea?" he yelled.“

Chapter: Chapter 48: PoisonedZedexMy lips curved into a soft smirk, as I scoffed loudly, rolling my eyes. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the rage bubbling within me, as I seethed, almost regretting why I had come to Full Mountain Pack myself. I could have asked Mogan to handle the transfer, hence Max wouldn't have had this chance to provoke me.However, I shoved it off, like always. As long as he doesn’t involve my Grandpa, I’m cool.Ever since he had left Vermilion Pack after he rebelled, I hadn't seen or heard from him. But who cared? He was no longer my brother because he ceased to be the moment he plotted against me and the Pack. Right now, I only saw him as my enemy, because he was also a friend to Troy, which made them both my enemies.All the Alphas present had their jaws dropped in shock, while the guests' faces flushed, as the tension in the room charged."I can't believe brothers can hold such hostility towards each other.""The courage Max has to challenge his brother needs to be studied.""I

Chapter: Chapter 47: The Alphas GatheringZedex POVThey all stood up and walked behind me. However, Mogan hastened up and caught up with me as we walked side to side deep into Full Mountain Pack.Mogan was silent but kept stealing glances at me, trying so hard to suppress what he had in mind to say. I tilted my head at him, “Speak.” I muttered, increasing my walking pace. Everything was already getting dark, and we needed to get to the heart of the Pack before night fell. There was no sign of birds chirping or the Owls who-whooping on trees.However, it wasn't surprising since the Pack was more careful and well-organized because of the wolf hunter. And about birds and other bush animals, this pack wasn't even a conductive habitat for them because of the Miasma hovering around, which was likewise harmful to their health.“No doubt, Piro was the one that pushed Camila off the cliff, however—“ “You finally joined the missing pieces, goddess right?” I glanced at him and asked. No wonder, I got no reaction from him when I threw

Chapter: Chapter 46: The Alpha’s WrathZedex POVStrangely, my heart missed a beat as I snapped my neck, turning around. I felt a hard string pulled deep down my soul when I couldn't catch a glimpse of her.I haven't paid much attention to her, ever since we left Vermilion Pack. All through the ride, Grandpa and Mogan’s words kept clashing through my mind constantly, as I tried as hard to suppress them, not let them get to me.Unexpectedly, "Camila." Her name rolled out of my lips, as my eyes widened in terror, darting back and forth in search of her. My heart began beating rapidly, my breath almost choking me.I hastily turned around and began walking back, amidst the guards."Where is she?" My voice came out in a low groan.Instantly, Piro knelt to the ground, bowing. "She-she mistakenly slipped off the cliff and fell." He sputtered, avoiding my gaze.His words were like a dagger stabbing my heart, as my chest tightened. Zov, my wolf, let out a roar deep within, and my eyes flickered colors - amber, gold, and green. He w

Chapter: Chapter 45: Descent Into DarknessCamilaI felt a sharp, stabbing pain pierced through my chest, and my breath choked in my throat. His words hit me like a crushing blow, leaving my heart reeling. Was he really adamant about sending me to Troy to suffer? Did he really hate me that much, wanting me out of his sight as soon as possible?No doubt, he was truly fulfilling the promise he had made to me on our second encounter. 'It's not so simple to seek death,' he had said coldly. 'Living will be a torment that I will grant you for the rest of your life.' His words sounded loud and fresh in my head as if it were yesterday.Little tears tickled at the corner of my eyes, and I tilted my head away from all gazes, blinking them away. I sniffed in and wiped my face with the back of my hands. At this moment I had to let go of the clingy part of me that desperately wished he would save me like he always did, and take my fate into my own hands.Suddenly, Beta Mogan emerged from behind Alpha Zedex's carriage. I never knew he had
