I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, her scent called me, and I walked according to its directions. I had almost walked a mile distance without anyone in sight. I sighed deeply as I continued my journey. I had crossed the expanse of my land when her scent got stronger but it was mixed with a metallic scent. Blood! Looking to the left, I saw a hidden shack, just before crossing to the next pack. It was in No Man's Land. A free pack where shady dealings go on. The predominant inhabitants were rogues and some evil wolves. I called Daniel to come quickly as a backup. " Bring some vehicles along," I ordered. Pulling out my gun from my back pocket, I rush in.

She saw Belinda's annoying face and groaned as she remembered how she was taken._Three hours later after Damien left, the doorbell rang and Zeta rushed to the front door, and opened it instantly. It was eerily quiet except for the slight whooshing from the early evening breeze and the soft rustling of leaves in the garden. Her maid was also nowhere in sight.

" When will I be getting my payment?" Alpha Scott inquired." Can you not see that the plan didn't work?" Belinda replied. " The agreement was that I get my gold after the fiasco." " How was I supposed to know that he will not kick her out? Maybe if you were believable enough, then we will have no need for this quarrel." Belinda spat.Scott raised his brows in confusion, " Now this is my fault? A man decided to forgive his wife, maybe it's your plans that need reevaluation."
